HCW Wrestling Newsletter 2024 #1042 – 10/20


Hello fans and welcome back to another installment of the HCW Wrestling Newsletter.  Tonight's card was unexpected but after getting invited to host a show down in Atlanta, GA (current residence of the great Abdullah the Butcher), we couldn’t pass it up.  Members of the roster grabbed their bags and made the trip.  On the card tonight, the Sons of Anarchy will be in singles action.  We’ll also see members of the Dark Dominion represented.  We’ve also heard we will hear from GM Max McGillicutty at the end of the show so be sure to stick around for that.  But now, let’s get this show on the road.

 

Match #1:  Son of Stache vs TNT

 

The match begins with Son of Stache executing a powerful Lasso (Clothesline), but TNT quickly responds by hurling Son of Stache out of the ring. Son of Stache manages to beat the count and re-enter the ring, showing his resilience.

 

Mike ‘the Voice’ Johnson: “Son of Stache is back in the ring! He’s not going down that easily.”

 

Johnny ‘the Hammer’ Harris: “TNT better watch out. Son of Stache is tougher than he looks.”

 

Son of Stache attempts a Tombstone Piledriver, but TNT reverses it into a Bulldog. The back-and-forth action continues as TNT counters Son of Stache’s moves with a Power Uppercut and a Flying Dropkick, but Son of Stache neutralizes the latter.

 

Mike ‘the Voice’ Johnson: “What a reversal by TNT! This match is heating up.”

 

Johnny ‘the Hammer’ Harris: “Both these men are giving it their all. It’s anyone’s game.”

 

Son of Stache fights back with a series of moves, including the Whiplash and Rodeo Roundhouse (Kick). TNT responds with a Powerbomb and a Flying Dropkick, but Son of Stache remains unfazed.

 

The match reaches its climax as Son of Stache executes a series of high-impact moves, including the Stetson Slam and the Handlebar (Camel Clutch). Despite TNT’s attempts to counter with moves like the Bulldog and Jaw Jacker, Son of Stache’s relentless offense proves too much.

 

In the final moments, Son of Stache locks in the Handlebar (Camel Clutch) once more, and TNT is unable to escape. Son of Stache goes for the pin and secures the victory.

 

Mike ‘the Voice’ Johnson: “Son of Stache has done it! What a victory!”

 

Johnny ‘the Hammer’ Harris: “He showed incredible resilience and determination. A well-deserved win.”

 

As Son of Stache celebrates his hard-fought victory, the arena’s lights dim, and ‘Terror Fang’ Wilber Townsend, a member of the Dark Dominion, attacks him from behind. The crowd boos loudly as Wilber viciously assaults Son of Stache.

 

Mike ‘the Voice’ Johnson: “What the hell is this? Wilber Townsend is attacking Son of Stache!”

 

Johnny ‘the Hammer’ Harris: “This is despicable! Someone needs to stop this!”

 

Just as it seems like Wilber will inflict serious damage, Son of Drew rushes out to the ring. He charges at Wilber, forcing him to retreat. The crowd erupts in cheers as Son of Drew stands tall, protecting his ally.

 

Mike ‘the Voice’ Johnson: “Son of Drew to the rescue! He’s chased off Wilber Townsend!”

 

Johnny ‘the Hammer’ Harris: “The Dark Dominion won’t get away with this. Son of Drew has made sure of that.”

 

The segment ends with Son of Drew helping Son of Stache to his feet, the two standing united against the Dark Dominion as the crowd cheers them on.

 

The Sons of Anarchy celebrate with the fans before heading to the back.  (24 min for the match; 5 for the aftermath)

 

 

Match #2:  Dixie Caverns vs Phoenix Blaze

 

Next up, Phoenix Blaze makes her way out to a nice reception from the crowd.  She shakes hands with the fans and starts to get into the ring.  Dixie Caverns, her opponent, rushes out attacking her from behind.  Dixie rolls Phoenix into the ring and continues the assault as the bell rings starting this one officially. 

 

Dixie Caverns immediately takes control, executing a Candy Dish on Phoenix Blaze, who is unable to defend against it. Dixie follows up with a Diving Crossbody, but Phoenix counters with a Fallaway Slam, showing her resilience.

 

Mike ‘the Voice’ Johnson: “Dixie Caverns is relentless, but Phoenix Blaze is fighting back with everything she’s got!”

 

Johnny ‘the Hammer’ Harris: “This is turning into a real battle. Both these women are giving it their all.”

 

Dixie continues her assault with an Elbow Drop, but Phoenix manages to lock in the Hussy Lock, putting pressure on Dixie. Despite the hold, Dixie does not submit and fights back with a Facebuster and a Hurricanrana.

 

The match remains intense as both competitors exchange powerful moves. Phoenix executes a Three Kick Combo and another Fallaway Slam, while Dixie responds with a Northern Lights Suplex and a Diving Crossbody.

 

Mike ‘the Voice’ Johnson: “Phoenix Blaze is showing incredible determination. She’s not backing down!”

 

Johnny ‘the Hammer’ Harris: “Dixie Caverns needs to find a way to put Phoenix away. This match could go either way.”

 

In the final moments, Phoenix Blaze locks in the Leg Trap Crossface once more. This time, Dixie Caverns is unable to escape and submits, giving Phoenix Blaze the victory.

 

Mike ‘the Voice’ Johnson: “Phoenix Blaze has done it! What a victory with the Leg Trap Crossface!”

 

Johnny ‘the Hammer’ Harris: “A well-deserved win for Phoenix Blaze. She showed incredible heart and determination.”

 

Phoenix Blaze stands victorious in the ring, celebrating her hard-fought win as the crowd cheers her on.  Dixie makes her way to the back first.  Phoenix follows shortly after.  (15 min)

 

 

Scene: The camera cuts backstage to a dimly lit area where Count Vlad stands, his presence commanding and ominous. Larry Morton, visibly nervous, holds the microphone up to Vlad, who begins to speak with a sinister smile.

 

Larry Morton: “Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome my guest at this time, the leader of the Dark Dominion, Count Vlad.”

 

Count Vlad steps into the frame, his presence commanding and ominous.

 

Count Vlad: “Ah, welcome to the darkness. Tonight, the Dark Dominion will reign supreme. First, let’s talk about Beastfang. Jesse California, you are nothing but a mere mortal stepping into the lair of a beast. Beastfang will demolish you, piece by piece, until there’s nothing left but a memory of your foolishness.”

 

Vlad’s eyes gleam with malevolence as he continues.

 

Count Vlad: “And then we have Azrael and Negropolis. These two warriors will do the Dark Dominion proud by defeating the so-called Bounty Hunter Jake Montrose and his partner, Otis P. Cunningham. Montrose, Cunningham, you are stepping into a nightmare from which you will not awaken. The darkness will consume you, and the Dominion will stand victorious.  Biceps Bannerman…be prepared to fall to the Bloodfang Viktor Drakov.  You have not witnessed this type of power before and it will humble you.”

 

The camera zooms in on Vlad’s face as he addresses the Sons of Anarchy.

 

Count Vlad: “As for the Sons of Anarchy, Son of Drew and Son of Stache, you dare to call yourselves anarchists? You do not know the meaning of the word. Anarchy is not chaos; it is the purest form of order, the order of the Dark Dominion. We will show you the true path, the way of darkness. You will learn to fear the name of the Dominion, and you will bow before its power.”

 

Vlad’s smile widens, revealing his sharp teeth.

 

Count Vlad: “Tonight, the Dark Dominion will rise, and all who oppose us will fall. Prepare yourselves, for the darkness is coming.”

 

The camera fades to black as Vlad’s laughter echoes through the backstage area, leaving a chilling sense of foreboding.

 

Larry Morton: “Back to you at ringside.”

 

 

Match #3:  Beastfang w/ Count Vlad vs Jesse California

 

Jesse California makes his way out first.  Normally playing the role of a heel, it is quite the opposite tonight as he takes on Beastfang – the enforcer of the Dark Dominion and the brother of Count Vlad.   Jesse makes his way to the ring and once there, the lights immediately dim and out comes the Dark Dominion’s leader and enforcer.  The fans boo them as Count Vlad and Beastfang make their way to the ring.  Beastfang steps in over the top rope and stands towering over Jesse who shows some nervousness. 

 

The match begins with Beastfang taking immediate control, aided by Count Vlad’s antagonizing tactics. Jesse California absorbs the punishment but struggles to gain any momentum. Beastfang continues his assault with a series of powerful moves, including a Bam Bam’s Suplex Triple Gutwrench and a Transylvania Reverse Spin Scoop Powerslam.

 

Mike ‘the Voice’ Johnson: “Beastfang is dominating this match from the start. Jesse California needs to find a way to turn this around.”

 

Johnny ‘the Hammer’ Harris: “Count Vlad’s interference isn’t helping Jesse’s chances either. This is looking grim for California.”

 

Jesse California manages to fight back with a Standing Dropkick and a Famouser Leg Drop Bulldog, showing his resilience. However, Beastfang’s relentless offense, combined with Count Vlad’s distractions, keeps Jesse on the defensive.

 

In the final moments, Beastfang executes a devastating F-5000, leaving Jesse California unable to defend himself. Beastfang goes for the pin and secures the victory.

 

Mike ‘the Voice’ Johnson: “And that’s it! Beastfang wins with the F-5000. What a dominant performance!”

 

Johnny ‘the Hammer’ Harris: “Jesse California put up a valiant effort, but Beastfang was just too much for him tonight.”

 

Beastfang stands victorious in the ring, celebrating his win as Count Vlad looks on with a sinister smile. Vlad nods and Beastfang hits a second F-5000 before hurling Jesse out of the ring.  Vlad laughs maniacally and then the duo leave the ring.  Jesse was helped to the back.  (17 min but Beastfang could have really ended it at any time)

 

 

Match #4:  Jake Montrose & OP Cunningham vs Azrael & Negropolis

 

Azrael and Negropolis make their way out first but they are NOT accompanied by the Dark Dominion’s leader.  They are booed as they make their way to the ring.  After getting the fans riled up, the music changed and out comes ‘the Bounty Hunter’ Jake Montrose and OP Cunningham.  The duo get a nice pop from the crowd.  They enter the ring and this match is ready to get underway.

 

OP gets things started by hitting Azrael with a running big splash but Azrael hits the Vengeance forcing OP to tag out.  Azrael hits a sunset flip on Jake but OP is back in the ring for double teaming.  OP leaves the ring and Jake hits Azrael with an elbow drop.  He goes for the pin but only gets a 2 count.  Jake adjusts something on his headband (is it loaded with something?) and drops a loaded headbutt on Azrael.  He goes for the pin but Negropolis makes the save.  OP is tagged back in but is taken down by flying headscissors.  OP connects with a clothesline but Azrael gets the big man up and nails a slingshot suplex.  He tags out to Negropolis.  OP scoop slams him but Negropolis hurls him out of the ring.  Azrael attacks OP sending him crashing into the steel steps.  Negropolis knocks Jake off the apron.  OP ends up being counted out after not being able to make the 10 count.  Azrael and Negropolis score a win for the Dark Dominion.  The fans boo as they leave the ring.  OP is helped to the back by Jake.  (8 min)

 

 

Match #5:  Son of Drew vs Tobias Snake

 

Tobias Snake came out first to booing from the crowd.  He flipped them off and made his way to the ring.  The fans then popped as Son of Drew came out and gave him a huge reception.  He interacted with a few fans before rushing down to the ring.  The match started almost immediately.

 

The match begins with Son of Drew taking the early advantage, executing a Corkscrew Pescado that catches Tobias Snake off guard. Tobias tries to fight back with a Double Underhook Superplex, but Son of Drew’s agility and speed keep him in control.

 

Mike ‘the Voice’ Johnson: “Son of Drew is on fire tonight! He’s not giving Tobias Snake any room to breathe.”

 

Johnny ‘the Hammer’ Harris: “Tobias Snake needs to find a way to slow down Son of Drew’s momentum.”

 

The back-and-forth action continues as both competitors exchange high-impact moves. Son of Drew lands a Handstand Headscissors and a Superkick, while Tobias Snake responds with a Lariat and a Dirty Deeds Double Arm DDT. Both men attempt pins, but neither can secure the victory.

 

As the match progresses, Son of Drew’s resilience shines through. He executes a series of slaps and a Lover Bomb, keeping the pressure on Tobias Snake. Despite Tobias’s efforts, including a Snap DDT and a Running Crossbody, Son of Drew remains determined.

 

Mike ‘the Voice’ Johnson: “Son of Drew is showing incredible heart. He’s not backing down!”

 

Johnny ‘the Hammer’ Harris: “Tobias Snake is throwing everything he’s got, but Son of Drew is still standing.”

 

In the final moments, Son of Drew executes a powerful Superkick, leaving Tobias Snake unable to defend himself. Son of Drew goes for the pin and secures the victory.

 

Mike ‘the Voice’ Johnson: “And that’s it! Son of Drew wins with a Superkick! What a match!”

 

Johnny ‘the Hammer’ Harris: “A well-deserved victory for Son of Drew. He showed incredible determination and skill.”

 

Son of Drew stands victorious in the ring, celebrating his hard-fought win as the crowd cheers him on.

 

Just as he’s making his way to the back, Beastfang and Terror Fang attack Drew and drag him back to the ring.  The beatdown doesn’t last long as Son of Stache rushes out with a steel chair in hand and begins blasting the Dark Dominion with it sending them out of the ring.  Son of Stache helps Drew to his feet and holds the Dark Dominion at bay.  Eventually, Beastfang and Terror Fang (Wilber) head to the back.  The Sons of Anarchy make their way to the back armed with the chair just in case. 

 

 

Match #6:  Bloodfang Viktor Drakov vs Biceps Bannerman

 

It’s time for our final event of the evening.  First, Biceps Bannerman makes his way to a huge pop from the crowd.  He shakes hands with the fans and makes his way into the ring.  The music changes and out comes the man known as Bloodfang – one member of the Night Stalkers – Viktor Drakov.  Viktor is accompanied by Count Vlad and they are booed as they head to the ring.

 

The match begins with both competitors showcasing their strength. ‘Bloodfang’ Viktor Drakov quickly locks in an Armbar, but Biceps Bannerman counters by throwing Drakov out of the ring. Drakov manages to beat the count and re-enter the ring, showing his resilience.

 

Mike ‘the Voice’ Johnson: “Drakov is back in the ring! This match is just getting started.”

 

Johnny ‘the Hammer’ Harris: “Biceps Bannerman needs to keep up the pressure if he wants to win this.”

 

Drakov continues his assault with another Armbar and a Bloodhound Bite, but Bannerman fights back with a Spinebuster and a Clothesline. The back-and-forth action keeps the crowd on the edge of their seats.

 

Mike ‘the Voice’ Johnson: “Both these men are giving it their all. It’s a true test of strength and endurance.”

 

Johnny ‘the Hammer’ Harris: “This is what wrestling is all about. Neither competitor is backing down.”

 

Count Vlad, ever the strategist, takes the opportunity to antagonize Biceps Bannerman from ringside, distracting him just long enough for Drakov to capitalize. Drakov executes a Running Powerslam, but Bannerman kicks out of the pin attempt, showing his toughness.

As the match progresses, Drakov continues to target Bannerman’s arm with repeated Armbars, trying to wear him down. Bannerman fights back with a series of powerful moves, including a Press and Slam and a Spinebuster, but Drakov’s relentless offense keeps him in control.

 

In a critical moment, Count Vlad distracts the referee, allowing Drakov to land a vicious Bloodhound Bite. Bannerman absorbs the punishment but refuses to stay down. The crowd is fully invested, cheering for Bannerman to make a comeback.

 

Mike ‘the Voice’ Johnson: “Bannerman is showing incredible heart. He’s not giving up!”

 

Johnny ‘the Hammer’ Harris: “But Drakov, with Count Vlad’s help, is relentless. This is a brutal contest.”

 

In the final moments, Drakov executes a devastating Clothesline from Hell, leaving Bannerman unable to defend himself. Drakov goes for the pin and secures the victory.

 

Mike ‘the Voice’ Johnson: “And that’s it! ‘Bloodfang’ Viktor Drakov wins with a Clothesline from Hell!”

 

Johnny ‘the Hammer’ Harris: “A well-deserved victory for Drakov. He showed incredible power and determination.”

 

‘Bloodfang’ Viktor Drakov stands victorious in the ring, celebrating his hard-fought win as Count Vlad looks on with a sinister smile. Biceps Bannerman, though defeated, earns the respect of the audience for his valiant effort. The Dark Dominion’s influence is undeniable, and their presence looms large over HCW.

 

After the Dark Dominion and Biceps left, the lights came up and out comes GM Max McGillicutty.  Max thanks the fans for attending and was excited to bring this show to Hot’Lanta.  He acknowledges the fans here are top notch and because of the sold out show, he will definitely consider bringing HCW back here again.  He states that this is NOT the only reason he’s out here.  He says that the show was a great one but needs a little more.  He says that the next match won’t be televised so it is for the fans in attendance only.

 

He leaves and then our final surprise of the evening begins.

 

Scene: The arena lights dim, and the crowd in Atlanta erupts in cheers as the World Ladies Champion, Korbi Kong, makes her way to the ring. She climbs into the ring, microphone in hand, and waits for the crowd to settle before speaking.

 

Korbi Kong: “Atlanta, you guys are amazing! I just want to take a moment to thank each and every one of you for your incredible support. Being the World Ladies Champion means the world to me, and it’s because of fans like you that I keep pushing myself to be the best. Tonight, we’ve got a special event for you, and I promise to give it everything I’ve got!”

 

Mike ‘the Voice’ Johnson: “Listen to that crowd, Johnny! Korbi Kong is truly beloved by these fans.”

 

Johnny ‘the Hammer’ Harris: “No doubt about it, Mike. She’s a fighting champion and the fans respect that.”

 

The crowd cheers loudly, showing their appreciation for Korbi. Suddenly, the music changes, and the Heritage Women’s Champion, Luciana Albano, makes her way to the ring, microphone in hand. The crowd’s cheers turn to boos as she steps into the ring.

 

Luciana Albano: “Oh, please, spare me the sentimental nonsense, Korbi. These people don’t care about your gratitude. What they care about is seeing a real champion in action. And that’s me, the Heritage Women’s Champion. Tonight, I’m going to show everyone why I hold this title. Korbi, you may be the World Ladies Champion, but you’re not on my level.”

 

Mike ‘the Voice’ Johnson: “Luciana Albano never misses a chance to remind everyone of her status. The crowd’s reaction says it all.”

 

Johnny ‘the Hammer’ Harris: “She’s confident, I’ll give her that. But can she back it up tonight?”

 

The crowd boos even louder as Luciana smirks, enjoying the reaction. Before Korbi can respond, the music changes again, and Ashley “Diamond” Summers makes her way to the ring. The boos continue as she steps into the ring, microphone in hand.

 

Ashley “Diamond” Summers: “Well, well, well, if it isn’t the two so-called champions. Korbi, Luciana, you both talk a big game, but tonight, it’s not about titles. It’s about proving who the best woman in this ring is. And that, ladies, is me. I’ve got the skills, the looks, and the determination to outshine both of you. So get ready, because Ashley ‘Diamond’ Summers is here to steal the show.”

 

Mike ‘the Voice’ Johnson: “Ashley Summers is as confident as ever. This is going to be explosive!”

 

Johnny ‘the Hammer’ Harris: “Three of the best in the business, all in one ring. This is going to be something special.  No titles are on the line tonight, just a showcase to show the best of the best in HCW!”

 

The crowd’s boos mix with some cheers as the tension in the ring rises. Korbi, Luciana, and Ashley stare each other down, each confident in their abilities and ready to prove themselves.

 

Korbi Kong: “Alright, enough talk. Let’s show Atlanta what we’ve got!”

 

The crowd erupts in cheers as the three competitors prepare for their triple threat match, the anticipation building for an unforgettable showdown.

 

 

Dark Match: Triple Threat Match between Korbi Kong, Luciana Albano, and Ashley Summers

 

The match begins with all three competitors showcasing their skills. Korbi Kong starts strong with a Rear Chin Lock, but Luciana Albano quickly counters with a Riptide Pumphandle Bomb. Ashley “Diamond” Summers adds to the chaos with a High Angle Crab, putting pressure on both opponents.

 

Mike ‘the Voice’ Johnson: “What a start! All three women are giving it their all right from the get-go.”

 

Johnny ‘the Hammer’ Harris: “This is going to be an intense battle. None of them are holding back.”

 

As the match progresses, the action intensifies. Ashley lands a powerful Spear on Luciana, while Korbi executes an Arm Triangle Lock. The competitors continue to exchange high-impact moves, with Luciana and Ashley even teaming up briefly to double-team Korbi.

Mike ‘the Voice’ Johnson: “These women are pulling out all the stops. The crowd is on the edge of their seats!”

 

Johnny ‘the Hammer’ Harris: “It’s anyone’s game at this point. They’re all showing why they’re at the top of their game.”

 

In the final moments, the action reaches a fever pitch. Korbi executes a Mile High Flying Elbow Drop, but Ashley counters with a Queen’s Boot. Just as Korbi attempts a pin, Luciana makes the save, keeping the match alive. The competitors continue to battle fiercely, with each one determined to come out on top.

 

After 30 minutes of non-stop action, the match is declared a draw, leaving the crowd both thrilled and wanting more.

 

Mike ‘the Voice’ Johnson: “What an incredible match! These women left it all in the ring.”

 

Johnny ‘the Hammer’ Harris: “A draw might not be the outcome they wanted, but they all proved their worth tonight.”

 

As the match concludes, Luciana and Ashley continue to brawl, their rivalry far from over. Meanwhile, Korbi is blindsided by Dark Dominion member Selena ‘Widow’s Fang’ Blackfang, who launches a vicious attack. Selena, with her sinister presence, methodically dismantles Korbi, targeting her with a series of brutal moves. The crowd erupts in boos as Selena stands over the fallen champion, her intentions clear.

 

Mike ‘the Voice’ Johnson: “Selena ‘Widow’s Fang’ Blackfang is here! This is an all-out assault on Korbi Kong!”

 

Johnny ‘the Hammer’ Harris: “The Dark Dominion strikes again. Korbi is in serious trouble!”

 

Selena continues her assault, locking Korbi in a devastating submission hold. The referees and officials rush to the ring to break it up, but the damage is done. Selena stands tall, sending a clear message to the entire HCW roster.

 

As the chaos unfolds, Luciana and Ashley’s brawl spills into the crowd, their feud far from over. The arena is in pandemonium as the show comes to a dramatic close, leaving the fans eagerly anticipating the next chapter in these intense rivalries.
