OPENING – HCW VOLTAGE (2/11)

The familiar Voltage theme hits and the camera sweeps across the arena. The crowd is hot, buzzing, and restless.

 

Sam Duffy:
“Hello wrestling fans and welcome back to another installment of the HCW Wrestling Newsletter — and tonight, folks, we are here with a loaded card and a very tense atmosphere in this building.”

 

Rick Granger:
“You can feel it, Sam. You don’t even need to look at the card to know something’s in the air. The Dark Dominion’s presence tonight will be limited.  That never is a good thing.”

 

The camera cuts to the announce desk.

 

Sam Duffy:
“On tonight’s show, the Muscles Duo will be in action against the team of Ghee Buttersnaps and Ovaltine Jackson. Veronica ‘the Heat’ Flame will be in action tonight against the woman who tried to take out the Dominion from inside…Korbi Kong.”

 

Rick Granger:
“Korbi is back in the fan’s good graces.  Many held out that it wasn’t for real.  Cara Loco is still looking for teammates to join him and Ashen Vicar in the 10 man match at Warzone.  Will he find any takers?”

 

Sam Duffy:
“Rick… I’m sure he will.  Not everyone is under Count Vlad and the Dark Dominion’s thumb.”

 

Rick Granger:
“Ashley Summers, accompanied by the ruthless Ruth Heartless, will take on Luna Shadow.  Ethan ‘Lightning’ Hayes, a member of Thunder and Lightning and a man with one of the best singles records around, will take on Owen Zestwell in a non-title match.”

 

Sam Duffy:
“Owen wants as much air time as he can get.  His upcoming match with his brother Thaddeus in a career vs title match will be one for the record books.”

 

Rick Granger:
“The main event features a rematch for the Hardcore title.  The new champion ‘the Alaskan Wildman’ Jax Brenner defends his title against the former champion and Hell’s Fang – the Moringstar.”

 

Sam Duffy:
“A show is nothing without hearing what these performers have say so there will be backstage interviews also..”

 

Rick Granger:
“Count Vlad is sure to make his presence known so everyone needs to be prepared for that.  With this out of the way, our show can start…NOW!”


 

GM Max McGillicutty makes his way out to the stage to a loud pop from the Columbia crowd.  Once they settled down, he had something to say.

 

GM Max McGillicutty:
“Fans of HCW, welcome to tonight’s show.  I am not going to waste too much time here as we have a show to put on for you.  First, effective immediately, Larry Morton is going to be the EXCLUSIVE backstage interviewer for Voltage.” 

 

The fans pop. 

 

“Larry’s show ‘The Morton Report’ will be exclusive to Voltage shows. Larry will be able to use that time for interviews as he sees fit.  With that, Candace Hart will become the EXCLUSIVE backstage interviewer for Live Wire and Ryan Mercer will keep her spot as the exclusive interviewer for all Shockwave shows.” 

 

The fans pop again at the announcements.  Max finishes up.

 

 “Last but certainly not least, Truth Wayne, the man who stands by his show and the saying ‘The Truth Hurts’ will appear on all 3 shows.  With that, let’s get this show on the road!”  The fans pop one last time before the entrances begin for our first match.


 

Music hits as Ghee Buttersnaps and Ovaltine Jackson come out to a nice pop from the crowd.  They shake hands with the fans as they make their way to the ring.  They climb in and continue to get the crowd pumped up.

 

The music changed and out comes the Muscles Trio – McGuire, Thorpe, and Weasley.  The three ran around on stage like goofballs wearing their rainbow colored bull horns. 

 

Muscles Thorpe had his box of Booty-O’s cereal and went to give it to a fan only to pull it away at the last minute generating heat for his team.  He followed the Muscles Weasley and McGuire to the ring only to be turned away by the referee.  Thorpe stomped back up the ramp and got a chair from the back and sat on stage, refusing to back behind the curtain.

 

Tony Calibur did the entrances and this one was ready to get underway.

After the match, the Muscles sulked their way to the back while Ghee and Ovaltine celebrated with the crowd.

 

Sam Duffy:
“A great showing from Ghee and Ovaltine.  The Muscles had the advantage early but this one goes to show that getting the fans behind you can lead a team to victory.”

 

Rick Granger:
“I don’t believe for a minute that Ghee and Ovaltine had a snowballs chance in hell but even I can be surprised.”

 

Sam Duffy:
“It appears we have someone coming out.”

 

Veronica Flame’s music hits and the crowd boos.  Her manager Jilian Furnace follows her down to the ring. It appears she may have something to say.


 

Veronica gets into the ring and grabs a mic. 

 

Veronica ‘the Heat’ Flame:
“Shut up and sit down.  You know, I keep excelling and all I do is get pushed out of the way.  Not anymore.  Right now, sitting atop this division, Scarlett Howl, someone who shows up less than even Brock Lesnar, is your Ladies Champion.  That is a bunch of bullshit.  So she beat Selena…so what.  If she were a real champion, she would defend that title against the REAL number one contender…ME…at WARZONE!  She doesn’t have the guts….”

 

Music hits and the fans pop as the World Ladies Champion Scarlett Howl comes out.  The fans are excited to see the champ tonight.  Scarlett has a mic of her own.

Scarlett Howl:
“Someone out here is talking a big game.  Listen, I don’t hide from anyone and for THE record, I have defended this title more than Brock has appearances.”  The fans pop at the jab.  “If you want the shot at Warzone, you GOT it.  But, if I know how to read a match line up, it seems you have a much bigger fish to take on before you go jumping on the champ.”

 

Scarlett steps aside and the music hits and the fans practically blow the roof off as KORBI KONG SMASH echoes from the loudspeakers.  Korbi makes her way out and stops next to Scarlett.  The two shake hands and Scarlett whispers something to her and then leaves.  Korbi heads to the ring and Veronica is yelling at Julian who in turn is yelling at the ref.  Korbi enters the ring and climbs the turnbuckle eliciting an even bigger pop.  She steps down and smiles as Veronica glares from across the ring.  The bell rings and this one is underway.

The cameras cut to another part of backstage and we see Cara Loco walking around looking for the right person to recruit for the 10 man battle vs the Dark Dominion. He sees someone and makes a beeline for him.  It’s none other than the HCW World Champion Zack Brown.

Cara Loco tells the champ that the need is dire and that he and Vicar need help in defeating the Dark Dominion.  Brown says that the Dominion are out of control and he agrees to help.  Cara Loco is ecstatic.  3 down, 2 to go.  Cara Loco thanks the champ and turns to leave.  Brown comments “Funny little fella” as he watches Cara Loco skip away.


Back at commentary:

 

Sam Duffy:
“Looks like Cara Loco is building his own army to take on the Dominion at Warzone..”

 

Rick Granger:
“Anyone who sides with him will be at odds with Count Vlad.  I’m not sure even Vegas would take the bet on who walks away.”

 

Sam Duffy:
“Our next match is ready to begin.  Let’s head back to Tony Calibur for introductions.


 

Luna Shadow makes her way out first to a nice pop from the crowd.  She shakes hands with the fans and climbs into the ring.  She continues to pump up the crowd but once the music changes, the fans go all sour.

 

Ashley Summers, the Diamond of the Million Dollar Alliance and her manager Ruth Heartless make their way out to massive booing from the crowd. Ruth sneers at them telling the “peasants” to keep their grubby hands off the Diamond.  This just incites the crowd all the more.  Ruth whispers something to Ashley and the Diamond enters the ring.  After introductions are done, the bell rings to start this one off.

The fans EXPLODE as Luna’s hand is raised as the winner of the match.  Ashley is irate, her eyes wide with surprise.  She lunges for Luna who escapes out of the ring and out of reach from the Diamond.  Ruth argues with the ref that Luna had an illegal pull of tights but the ref ignored her.  Ruth began threatening legal action and she and Ashley storm to the back.  Luna celebrated with the fans and then made her way back also.

 

Sam Duffy:
“Luna Shadow gets the win and the fans couldn’t be happier.”

 

Rick Granger:
“She also put her name on a target list and this is sure to not sit well as you don’t blemish a diamond and not pay the price.”

Larry Morton:
“I’m here with Count Vlad and the challenger for our main event.  Count, what do you expect the outcome of this match to be?”

 

Count Vlad:
“Jax Brenner made himself a target of the Dark Dominion.  Now, he will feel our wrath.”

 

Count Vlad and the Morningstar leave without any other comments.

 

Larry Morton:
“I guess that is it?  Well, Jax Brenner better have some backup as the Count doesn’t make threats…he makes promises. Back to you.”


 

Return to commentary.

 

Sam Duffy:
“Our main event just got darker…if that is even possible.”

 

Rick Granger:
“Jax will get his 5 minutes of fame and then Count Vlad will make sure he never forgets crossing the Dark Dominion.”

 

Sam Duffy:
“Let’s head to our next match.  This will be an interesting one.  Ethan Hayes has been on fire in singles competition and now he gets the US Champion in a non-title match.”

 

Rick Granger:
“If Owen were a real man, he wouldn’t be hiding behind non-title matches.  If you’re gonna wrestle, put your title on the line, if you’re not scared.”

 

Sam Duffy:
“You know he will have that opportunity when he puts the title on the line against his brother Thaddeus in a title vs career match.”

 

Rick Granger:
“I’m just saying that if someone the likes of John Cena can do open challenges for the title and actually defend it, there should be no reason why Owen his hiding.”


 

Ethan ‘Lightning’ Hayes makes his way out to a huge pop.  He shakes hands with the fans as he makes his way to the ring.  He catapults himself over the top rope and somersaults before leaping to the second turnbuckle.  The fans’ pop continues as the US Champion Owen Zestwell comes out.  Owen acknowledges the fans and makes his way down to the ring.  He climbs in holding one arm up.  The fans acknowledge the US Champion.  Owen and Ethan meet in the center of the ring.  Both men shake hands as the bell rings starting this one off.

Sam Duffy:
“Ethan Hayes has just defeated the US Champion.  But, how much did Thaddeus’ appearance play a factor?”

 

Rick Granger:
“Distractions are part of this sport.  If you can’t win when chaos surrounds you, maybe you don’t deserve to hold that or any title.”

 

Sam Duffy:
“If Thaddeus didn’t show up, this very well could have ended differently and you know it.”

 

Rick Granger:
“The youngster gets the win over the veteran.  A title match should be in his future now..”

 

Sam Duffy:
“We get to hear from Larry and the Hardcore Champion next.  Take it away, Larry.”

Larry Morton:
“Larry Morton here and I’m here with the Hardcore champion the Alaskan Wildman Jax Brenner with his manager Molly Mason.  Jax, earlier, Count Vlad had a single message for you.  How do you feel going into this match?”

 

Jax Brennner:
“Count Vlad likes to throw his weight around.  Tonight, he gets to witness what happens when this force of nature pushes back.”

 

Larry Morton:
“Molly, are you concerned that the Dark Dominion will influence the outcome?”

 

Molly Mason:
“When it comes to the Dark Dominion and Count Vlad, there is always reason to be concerned.  First it was Yeti and now it’s the Morningstar. We will take all challenges and with the fans backing us, we will hold the line.”

 

Larry Morton:
“Jax, before we let you go, any last words?”

 

Jax Brennner:
“One down, another one drops tonight.”

 

Larry Morton:
“Back to you Sam and Rick.”


 

Sam Duffy:
“Strong words from the Hardcore Champion.”

 

Rick Granger:
“Yeah, now we get to see if he can actually back it up.”

 

Sam Duffy:
“It’s time for the Main Event.  Over to you Tony.”


 

The Morningstar aka Hell’s Fang makes his way out alone; no Count Vlad, no Dark Dominion.  He is booed heavily as he makes his way towards the ring.  Tony’s voice, normally rock solid, showed a slight trepidation as the Morningstar enters the ring.  The challenger is introduced.

 

The music changes and out comes the Hardcore Champion, the Alaskan Wildman Jax Brenner.  The fans pop as their favorite Alaskan native makes his way out to the ring.  He clomps his way to the ring without his manger Molly Mason.  This match may be a no DQ style match but the referee is trying to keep everything on the level for as long as he could.

“The champ is now joined by Molly Mason as the Morningstar makes his way to the back.”
