Match #1: Duke Knight vs JR Fargo
Duke Knight faced off against The
Magnificent Juan Raul Fargo in an intense and electrifying match. Under the
watchful eye of 'Honest' Abe, the two wrestlers pulled out all their moves.
Right out of the gate, Duke Knight
executed a crisp dropkick. Fargo responded with a rear chinlock, setting the
tone for a back-and-forth battle.
Johnny 'the Hammer' Harris: “Look at Duke Knight go! That dropkick was spot on!”
Fargo took control with a magnificent
body slam, leaving Duke to absorb the punishment. But Duke wasn’t down for
long; he countered with a Hangman DDT. Fargo retaliated with foreign objects.
Duke landed another dropkick, breaking
Fargo's defense. Fargo, not one to be outdone, hit Duke with a Raul-Ram to
Ringpost. Duke fought back, executing a small package and keeping the momentum
going.
The battle raged on with Duke performing
a neckbreaker, while Fargo locked in a sleeperhold. Despite the hold, Duke
refused to submit. Duke then hit a slingshot suplex, but Fargo retaliated with
another Raul-Ram to Ringpost.
Mike 'the Voice' Johnson: “Fargo’s got the sleeperhold locked in tight, but Duke won’t
submit!”
Duke delivered another Hangman DDT, and
the crowd was on the edge of their seats. A running clothesline from Duke
brought him closer to victory, but Fargo kicked out just in time. Both
wrestlers executed their signature moves, with Duke's dropkick and Fargo's body
slam drawing cheers from the fans.
The action didn’t let up, with Duke
executing a Hangman DDT and Fargo delivering a right-hand smash. Fargo applied
a sleeperhold once more, but Duke's resilience shone through as he refused to
submit.
In a dazzling display, Duke stunned the
audience with a shooting star press, while Fargo answered with a body slam.
Fargo then applied a rear chinlock, but Duke's determination was unwavering.
Duke delivered a running clothesline, and
Fargo's rear chinlock couldn't stop him. Finally, Duke hit another Hangman DDT,
and this time, he successfully pinned Fargo for the win.
Johnny: “Duke with another Hangman DDT! He’s going for the pin! 1...2...3!
Duke Knight wins!”
Duke Knight emerged victorious with a
Hangman DDT, defeating The Magnificent Juan Raul Fargo in a thrilling match!
Just when we thought the dust had settled, the Hardcore Champion and Dark Dominion member, the Morningstar (aka Hell's Fang), stormed the ring. With Duke Knight still catching his breath from his victory, Hell’s Fang launched a brutal sneak attack, flooring Duke.
Grabbing the mic, Hell’s Fang, with a sinister grin, declared, "Welcome back to the ring, Duke. Enjoy this moment, because the next time we meet, I’ll put you out for good."
He dropped the mic with a resounding thud
and exited, leaving a battered but defiant Duke Knight to make his way to the
back under his own power.
Johnny 'the Hammer' Harris: “Did you see that? Hell's Fang just blindsided Duke! This is a statement!”
Mike 'the
Voice' Johnson: “A vicious assault by the Morningstar. He’s
sending a clear message: Duke Knight’s victory celebration was short-lived.
What a chaotic ending to an intense match!”
Gardinia Blue,
HCW’s in-house forensic investigator, met up with Max in his office to provide
her findings. She says that the number
of byes that the New Sicilians got on the road to winning the Heritage Tag Team
Titles has not been the norm and after doing some digging (and she dug deep),
she stated that the byes that led to the New Sicilians making it to the end
were all staged and manipulated. Ruth is
ruled out as her team didn’t make it to the end. Max asks if Pierre was behind it and she
doesn’t believe so. Her money is on
Count Vlad. “Why would Vlad want a team
other than someone from the Dark Dominion to win the titles?” Max asked. Gardinia says she believes Vlad is playing a
long game here and his motives should now be considered suspect. Before leaving, she tells Max that there is a
mole in HCW. She says that, if this is
Count Vlad running some behind-the-scenes scheme, someone is leaking
information to him. Max asks her to dig
into that also. Gardinia leaves with a
nod and exits the office. As she walks
away, we see someone lurking in the shadows and then quietly backs off.
Match #2: Evan Stockwell w/ Ruth Heartless vs Blake ‘Oak
Tree’ Hill
The bitter clash between Evan Stockwell
and Blake Hill went the distance, with both competitors giving their all.
Stockwell, guided by his ruthless manager Ruth Heartless, entered with an
agenda to remind everyone why he was once the TV champion. But things took a
sharp turn when the Banker's sudden arrival at ringside threw gasoline on an
already tense situation. The bad blood between Stockwell and the Banker was on
full display, with Ruth not hiding her disdain either—having once managed the
Banker before their fallout.
Mike "The Voice" Johnson: "You can see it in Stockwell's eyes, Johnny. The Banker's
presence is really messing with him. These two have history, and it's all
boiling over here tonight."
Johnny "The Hammer" Harris: "Yeah, Mike, and Ruth Heartless doesn’t look too pleased
either. She’s glaring daggers at the Banker every chance she gets!"
As the match unfolded, Stockwell
maintained control with his precise strikes and technical moves, including his
Bankroll Punch and the dreaded Choke Against the Ropes. Blake "Oak
Tree" Hill, however, absorbed the punishment and fought back with brute
force, nailing multiple Ringrope Clotheslines and overpowering Stockwell with a
Bearhug that had the crowd buzzing. But just as Stockwell tried to regain
momentum, the Banker took it upon himself to distract him further, shouting
taunts from ringside and deliberately making his presence felt.
Johnny "The Hammer" Harris: "Did you see that? The Banker’s practically taunting Evan at
this point! Stockwell looks like he’s about to lose it."
Mike "The Voice" Johnson: "It’s personal, Johnny. You can see the tension building up.
Evan's eyes keep darting over to the Banker. He can’t stand him!"
The animosity between Stockwell and the
Banker only grew as the match wore on. Stockwell’s frustration was palpable,
with him yelling at the Banker mid-match, nearly costing him a few crucial
moments. Ruth Heartless, never one to be outdone, threw her own jabs, screaming
at the Banker from across the ring, telling him he was "nothing without
her." The disdain was mutual, as the Banker responded with a smug smirk,
watching as his presence continued to get under Stockwell’s skin.
Mike "The Voice" Johnson: "This is tearing Evan apart, Johnny. He’s distracted, he's
frustrated, and Ruth is furious. The Banker’s presence is like salt in an open
wound!"
Johnny "The Hammer" Harris: "And Hill’s just taking advantage of the chaos. If Stockwell
doesn't get his head back in the game, this could slip away from him."
Despite Ruth's constant
interference—whether through blinding Hill with hairspray or smacking him with
the Banker’s briefcase—Hill powered through and kept coming at Stockwell. The
closing minutes saw Hill land a brutal Bearhug, only for Stockwell to refuse to
quit, barely escaping the hold. But every time Stockwell tried to mount a
comeback, his focus would drift back to the smug Banker at ringside.
In the final moments, with the match
reaching its 30-minute limit, Stockwell’s frustration boiled over as he
launched a verbal tirade at the Banker, shouting, "You think you're better
than me?!" Ruth was screaming at Stockwell to stay focused, but the
distraction gave Hill enough time to absorb Stockwell’s last Choke Against
Ropes and hold on until the match was declared a draw.
Johnny "The Hammer" Harris: "Stockwell’s anger got the best of him, Mike! He had the win in
his grasp, but he just couldn’t ignore the Banker!"
Mike "The Voice" Johnson: "That animosity cost him tonight. And look—here comes the
Banker!"
The match over, the Banker strolled over
to the commentary table with a smug grin, wasting no time twisting the knife.
The Banker: "What a disgrace. A former TV champion—my former
competition—struggling against this lumbering fool, Blake Hill, for 30 minutes.
Evan always was a second-rate wannabe. And Ruth? Well, she knows deep down that
she’s managing a lost cause."
Evan Stockwell, visibly seething, stormed
toward the commentary table, but Ruth held him back, shouting, "You’ll get
yours, Banker! You haven’t seen the last of us!"
Mike "The Voice" Johnson: "The tension between Stockwell, Ruth, and the Banker is off the
charts, Johnny. This is far from over."
Johnny "The Hammer" Harris: "Absolutely, Mike. Stockwell’s got unfinished business, and you
can bet this is just the beginning of an even bigger showdown between these
three."
The match may have ended in a draw, but
the war between Stockwell and the Banker is just heating up.
We head backstage
and join Count Vlad, the leader of the Dark Dominion, in his office.
The sound of a phone ringing cuts through
the darkness. After a few rings, a click is heard as the call connects.
Count Vlad (with a smooth, sinister tone): Speak.
Unknown Caller (in a hushed voice): It's me. We’ve got a problem. Gardinia Blue... she’s onto something.
She just left McGillicutty's office, and I overheard her say that she suspects
you’re behind the New Sicilians getting all those byes in the tournament. And there is more.
Count Vlad (chuckling darkly): Ahhh, Miss Blue... Let her think what she will. She’s playing detective in a game far beyond
her. But... you said there was more?
Unknown Caller: Yeah, it gets worse. She’s not stopping there. She thinks there’s a
mole inside HCW. Max told her to keep digging.
Count Vlad (his voice lowering, full of
menace): Did she mention
any names?
Unknown Caller: No, not yet. But it’s only a matter of time. She’s sharp, Vlad. Too
sharp. If she keeps this up, she could blow everything.
Count Vlad (coldly): Relax. She won’t find anything
that I don’t want found. Every trail
she’s following leads nowhere. Trust in
our plan. Our source is well-placed and
undetectable. But, if she proves to be
more of a threat than originally thought, we must make sure her digging ends
before it becomes... problematic. Keep a close eye on her... and report any
further movements. The Dark Dominion cannot afford any loose ends.
Unknown Caller (nervously): Of course. I’ll stay in the shadows, make sure she doesn’t get too
close.
Count Vlad (smirking): Excellent. And remember... failure is not an option. If the source is
discovered... you know what will happen.
Unknown Caller (whispers): I understand. I won’t let you down.
Count Vlad (calm but ominous): See that you don’t. Now... go.
The call abruptly ends with a click,
leaving only silence in its wake.
Match #3: EC
Qualifier #2: Dominic Marconi vs Wilber Townsend w/ Count Vlad (if Dominic
loses, it’s because of the Albanos)
Dominic Marconi,
the Italian Thoroughbred, makes his way out to a huge pop from the crowd. He makes his way around the ring and
enters. He climbs the second turnbuckle
and pumps his arms in the air. As he
steps down, the music becomes sinister as Wilber Townsend, aka Terror Fang,
makes his way out with Count Vlad. The
duo are booed heavily but neither seem to care.
A thing to note is that we do not see ANY Dr. Red Fang signs
ANYWHERE. Vlad must have had them all
confiscated before fans were allowed in.
Vlad and Wilber enter the ring and Wilber goes right after Dominic
starting this one off.
The match between "The Italian
Thoroughbred" Dominic Marconi and Wilber "Terror Fang" Townsend
started off with explosive energy, with both competitors locking up as the
crowd roared in anticipation. Dominic immediately showed his power, taking
control with a front face lock.
Mike "The Voice" Johnson: "Marconi wasting no time here, Hammer! Look at that strength!
He’s already got Townsend grounded!"
Johnny "The Hammer" Harris: "You don’t mess with Dominic Marconi, Voice! He’s as tough as
they come, but watch out for Townsend. That man’s got darkness in his
soul!"
Just as Johnny predicted, Wilber, known
for his unpredictable, aggressive style, used his brute strength to escape the
hold, slamming Dominic into the ring post. The crowd was on edge, fully aware
that these two were capable of changing the course of the match with every
move.
Dominic bounced back with a series of
punishing maneuvers, including his signature hip roll, followed by a massive
body slam that had Townsend reeling.
Mike "The Voice" Johnson: "The Italian Thoroughbred is on fire! Did you see that slam,
Hammer? Townsend’s gotta be feeling that one!"
Johnny "The Hammer" Harris: "Marconi’s wrestling like a man on a mission! But Townsend’s as
tough as they come—this is far from over."
Just as it seemed like Dominic had things
under control, Wilber exploded back with a devastating running senton and then,
with a sinister grin, hit his “Go to Sleep” finisher. The crowd erupted as
Dominic kicked out, refusing to stay down.
As Wilber’s manager, the ever-present
Count Vlad, taunted Dominic from ringside, it became clear that this match had
more than just two competitors. Vlad’s constant distractions were an issue, but
Dominic managed to keep focused, at one point nearly pinning Wilber after a
crushing body slam.
Despite Vlad’s distractions, Dominic
applied another brutal front face lock, squeezing the life out of Wilber.
Townsend, in a desperate move, delivered hammering blows to Marconi’s back, but
Dominic powered through, locking Wilber in his bearhug.
Mike "The Voice" Johnson: "The bearhug! Marconi’s got him locked in! Townsend is
fading!"
Johnny "The Hammer" Harris: "He might snap Wilber in two! Count Vlad looks worried!"
With the crowd firmly behind Dominic, the
momentum seemed to shift in his favor, until the inevitable happened. The New
Sicilians—Vinnie and Dick Albano—snuck in from the crowd. After Wilber hurled Dominic out of the ring,
he and Vlad went about their devious deeds. With the referee distracted, the
brothers unleashed a brutal double-team attack on Dominic finally rolling him
back into the ring.
Mike "The Voice" Johnson: "No! Not like this! The New Sicilians are here, and they’re
mugging Marconi!"
Johnny "The Hammer" Harris: "Classic Albano brothers, Voice! This is disgusting!"
With Dominic weakened by the Albano
brothers' ambush, Wilber seized the opportunity, hitting a final “Go to Sleep”
that left Marconi sprawled on the mat. The referee counted to three, awarding
Wilber "Terror Fang" Townsend the victory, thanks to the interference
of the New Sicilians.
Count
Vlad joins Terror Fang in the ring and raises his arm as the victor and the
fans boo the crap out of them. They
leave, secure in the knowledge that Wilber is heading to the Elimination
Chamber. Dominic makes it to his feet
and he is seething at being cost the match due to the New Sicilian’s
interference. “This needs to end”
Dominic says as he leaves the ring to a pop from the crowd.
Match #4: Ashley Summers w/ Ruth Heartless vs Lavender
Gooms
Lavender Gooms squared off against Ashley
"Diamond" Summers, with Ruth Heartless lurking at ringside. Lavender,
stepping into the role of the crowd favorite, started strong, executing a
Running Leg Drop that had Summers reeling early on. But Summers quickly turned
the tide, hitting a Diamond Cutter that rocked Lavender.
As the match progressed, both women
showcased their skills. Lavender locked in a Four-Leg Clover Leglock, but
Summers, resilient as ever, managed to absorb the pain and countered with a
punishing High Angle Crab.
Just when Lavender started to rally, Ruth
Heartless made her presence felt, sneaking in a blow with Evan’s briefcase,
blindsiding Lavender.
Mike "The Voice" Johnson: "There’s that briefcase again! Ruth Heartless always finds a
way to stack the deck!"
Despite the interference, Lavender showed
immense heart, continuing to fight back, landing another Running Leg Drop.
Summers, however, proved too crafty, hitting Lavender with back-to-back Diamond
Splashes. After two near falls, Summers hurled Lavender out of the ring, and
despite Lavender's best effort to beat the count, she was counted out, giving
Summers the victory.
Johnny "The Hammer" Harris: "That’s it! Lavender couldn't get back in time. Summers steals
one with help from Ruth!"
As Summers celebrated in the ring, the
Women's Heritage Champion, Luciana Albano, stormed down the ramp. The crowd
buzzed with anticipation as Luciana, who has had long-standing heat with
Ashley, confronted her directly. The tension between the two heels was
palpable, neither woman backing down.
Luciana, microphone in hand, taunted
Ashley: "You think that win makes you a contender? I’m the champion, and
you’re nothing but a second-rate Diamond!"
Ashley snarled in response, stepping up
nose-to-nose with Luciana. The crowd erupted as the two began shoving each
other before escalating into a full brawl. Fists flew, and security rushed in
to break them apart.
Mike "The Voice" Johnson: "It’s breaking down here! Luciana and Ashley are tearing into
each other!"
Johnny "The Hammer" Harris: "These two have no love lost, and it looks like Luciana’s had
enough of Ashley eyeing her title!"
The confrontation left the arena in
chaos, as Luciana and Ashley had to be physically separated. The rivalry
between the two heels had just reached a boiling point, setting the stage for
an explosive future showdown.
Dominic enters the
office of the GM. Dominic states that
the interference from the Albanos has reached a breaking point. He asks Max to create the first match for the
Zero Hour PPV: He wants Dick Albano in a
one on one no DQ match. Max says that
match is OFFICIAL!
Match #5: The Main Event: Men’s World Title Match: Jack
Lumber vs Owen Zestwell
The tension was palpable as the HCW
faithful packed the arena for the highly anticipated matchup between the
reigning HCW Men's World Champion Jack Lumber and the bitter,
recently-turned-heel, Owen "Orange Fury" Zestwell.
Owen’s entrance music hit first, and the
boos rained down from every corner of the building. The fans were relentless,
holding up signs like "No Juice Left in Orange Fury!" and
"Zestwell is a Lemon!" as Owen arrogantly strode to the ring.
He sneered at the crowd, visibly relishing their disdain. His betrayal of
former tag team partner Julius Squeezer had turned the once-popular wrestler
into one of the most despised figures in the company.
Mike "The Voice" Johnson: "Owen turned his back on Julius Squeezer, and these fans will
never forgive him for it!"
Johnny "The Hammer" Harris: "He’s getting what he deserves, Mike. You can’t just stab your
partner in the back and expect to walk away clean."
Owen hopped into the ring, throwing up a
dismissive hand at the hostile audience. He leaned back in the corner, eyes
locked on the entrance, awaiting the arrival of the champion.
Suddenly, Jack Lumber’s theme music
exploded through the speakers, and the fans erupted with thunderous cheers.
Jack made his way down the ramp, but not before heading straight to the Lumber
Lounge, where his most dedicated fans waved their flannel shirts and held up
wooden axes with pride. Jack shared high-fives, signed autographs, and soaked
in the love of the crowd.
Mike "The Voice" Johnson: "That’s why they call him the people's champion! Jack Lumber
always makes time for the Lumber Lounge!"
Johnny "The Hammer" Harris: "He’s the heart of HCW, Mike, but Owen’s not gonna make this
easy for him tonight."
Jack slid into the ring, holding his HCW
Men's World Championship belt high for the crowd, who responded with deafening
cheers. Owen didn’t even flinch, his cold stare locked on the champion,
determined to prove he belonged in the title picture.
The match started at a breakneck pace,
with Jack getting the upper hand early after a brutal Yukon Bodyslam. The
champion’s power was on full display, but Owen was no pushover, countering with
the Orange Juicer to slow the champ down. Owen then attempted his deadly
submission hold, The Orange Squeeze, but Jack powered out, showing his
championship grit.
Mike "The Voice" Johnson: "Owen’s looking desperate! He knows that Jack Lumber isn’t just
any opponent!"
Johnny "The Hammer" Harris: "You bet, Mike. Jack Lumber is as tough as they come, and Owen
better have a plan if he wants to win this one."
Just as the match reached its peak, the
crowd suddenly began cheering loudly as Julius Squeezer appeared at the top of
the ramp, his eyes fixed on the man who betrayed him. Julius stood tall and proud, clearly here to
watch the match—but his presence alone rattled Owen.
Mike "The Voice" Johnson: "There’s Julius Squeezer! And you can bet he hasn't forgotten
what Owen did to him!"
Johnny "The Hammer" Harris: "Owen’s trying to stay focused, but you can see the frustration
on his face, Mike. Julius being here is messing with his head!"
Owen glared at Julius, shouting insults
from inside the ring. Julius remained calm, his eyes locked on Owen, silently
reminding him of the friendship and partnership he had betrayed.
With Owen distracted, Jack took full
advantage. The champion delivered a thunderous Stiff Uppercut, sending Owen
reeling into the corner. Wasting no time, Jack lined him up for the Lumberjack
Lariat, nearly taking Owen’s head off with the devastating move! The crowd
erupted as Jack covered Owen for the three-count—1... 2... 3!
Mike "The Voice" Johnson: "Jack Lumber has done it! The champ retains!"
Johnny "The Hammer" Harris: "Owen’s mouth cost him the match, Mike! He let Julius get in
his head!"
As Jack celebrated his victory, raising
his title high for the fans in the Lumber Lounge, Owen rolled out of the ring,
clutching his jaw and glaring daggers at Julius. The two former partners locked
eyes, the tension between them thick enough to cut with a knife. Julius stood
his ground on the ramp, a silent challenge to Owen, who stormed off in
frustration, the bitterness of his defeat fresh on his face.
Jack Lumber continued his celebration in
the ring, holding his title high, while the fans cheered for their champion.
But all eyes were on the brewing feud between the former tag team partners,
Julius Squeezer and Owen Zestwell, a rivalry that was only just beginning.
As Jack Lumber stood tall in the ring,
celebrating his victory, the cheers of the crowd were suddenly cut off by a
haunting, eerie theme song that signaled the arrival of the twisted and cryptic
Wicked Prophet. The arena lights flickered, casting long shadows as a cold
chill spread through the air.
Mike "The Voice" Johnson: "Oh no... this can't be good, Johnny. The Wicked Prophet is
here."
Johnny "The Hammer" Harris: "You know what they say, Mike. Where there's smoke, the
Prophet’s not far behind. This guy always has something wicked up his
sleeve."
Emerging from the fog at the top of the
ramp, the Wicked Prophet stood, microphone in hand, his dark robe billowing
behind him. His sinister grin twisted across his face as he slowly raised the
mic to speak. The audience booed him relentlessly, but the Prophet’s eyes were
locked on the champion, unfazed by the hostility.
Wicked Prophet:
"Ah, Jack Lumber. The 'people’s
champion,' the man of the hour, the proud lumberjack standing tall like a...
mighty tree."
He paused, letting the words drip with sarcasm,
as the crowd continued to jeer.
Wicked Prophet:
"But you see, Jack, like all trees,
you can be cut down."
He paced slightly, his eyes never leaving
Jack, who stood in the ring watching the macabre figure with guarded intensity.
Wicked Prophet:
"Oh, don’t get me wrong, you have
the look. You have the strength. You play the part well. But at the end of the
day, you’re nothing more than a wannabe Rocky."
The crowd erupted into boos, their
disdain for the Wicked Prophet growing by the second. Jack Lumber raised his
championship belt toward the Prophet, as if daring him to come down to the
ring, but the Wicked Prophet merely laughed—a hollow, mocking laugh.
Mike "The Voice" Johnson: "Jack’s not backing down, but that’s exactly what the Prophet
wants. This guy is dangerous!"
Wicked Prophet:
"Oh, you think you’re a champion,
don’t you? The hero, the beloved lumberjack who will stand tall no matter the
odds? But Jack... THIS Prophet sees through the facade."
He pointed his finger directly at Jack,
his voice growing more intense.
"I see the doubt in your eyes. I see
the cracks in your spirit. And mark my words, when I step into that ring with
you, I’m not coming to wrestle, Jack. I’m coming to CLUBBER you until there’s
nothing left!"
The crowd roared with boos, and a few
fans in the Lumber Lounge held up signs reading "Jack Lumber Will Chop
You Down!" and "Prophet of Doom? More like Prophet of LOSING!"
Jack raised the belt again, stepping toward the ropes, signaling that he wasn't
intimidated by the Prophet’s threats.
Johnny "The Hammer" Harris: "Did he just say ‘clubber’?! The Prophet’s really lost it now,
Mike. But one thing’s for sure—he means business!"
Wicked Prophet:
"The time is coming, Jack. The time
when THIS Prophet will CLUBBER you to the ground, take that shiny little title
of yours, and show all these sheep that their so-called hero was never destined
to hold it in the first place!"
Jack motioned for the Prophet to come
down and fight, but the Wicked Prophet simply smirked, shaking his head as he
backed up toward the ramp.
Wicked Prophet:
"Not tonight, Slumberjack. Oh no...
tonight, you get to bask in your moment. But remember this—your days as
champion are numbered. And when the time comes, I will cut you down, limb from
limb, until your reign is nothing but a distant memory."
He raised his arms dramatically, as the
lights flickered once more, his cryptic warning hanging in the air.
The crowd continued to boo as the Wicked
Prophet turned and vanished into the fog, leaving Jack standing in the ring,
holding his championship high, determined to prove that he wasn't afraid of any
man—let alone the twisted, dangerous Prophet.
Mike "The Voice" Johnson: "The Wicked Prophet just delivered a bone-chilling message,
Johnny. He wants that title, and he's willing to go to any lengths to get
it!"
Johnny "The Hammer" Harris: "Jack Lumber's got a bullseye on his back, Mike. The Prophet
may be deranged, but he's as cunning as they come. If Jack isn’t careful, this
might be one prophecy that comes true!"
The show closed with Jack standing tall
in the ring, staring up the ramp where the Prophet had disappeared, the battle
lines drawn between the HCW Men's World Champion and his newest, most dangerous
challenger.
There is still so
much more to go so stay tuned.
