HWF/CSWA Wrestling Newsletter 2013 04.02: Wrestlemania is HERE: Day1

Larry Morton: “Hello fans and welcome to our permier event called Wrestlemania.  I am Larry Morton and am joined by my partner in crime Clarkus Kentus.  We will be bringing you all the action as it transpires.” 

Clarkus Kentus: “Thanks Larry, Clarkus here and the place is just electric with excitement.  Look, there goes Jim Ross and Jesse Ventura down to do commenting for the online broadcast.  Also coming down is the fan known as Ravishing Raquel.  She is being escorted to her seat by two other legends – Rowdy Roddy Piper and Jimmy Superfly Snuka.  After getting Raquel settled in, Piper and Snuka had a little shoving match where Piper pulled out a plastic coconut and threw it at Snuka.  They laughed over it, embraced and then went to the back.” 
Larry Morton: “It’s great to see Legends still eligible to contribute to the sport.  Those two have given us lots of great matches in the past.  We have great performers on the roster today and we are sure many of them will be future Hall of Famers.”

Master Bull has also gone on record stating that he reserves the right to cancel, restart or change the match at any time during the event.

We immediately cut to the back where we see Mr. Meyers and Master Bull having a conversation.  We look around and do not see Wayne Tuttle anywhere.  All of a sudden, a cameraman catches someone trying to come in the back way through security.  The cameraman rushes over in time to see Wayne Tuttle trying to get in. “You have to let me in.  I am the General Manager of the HWF.”  “I’m sorry sir” said the guard, “but you’re not on the list.  I have a list of exceptions, see here…Jeff Meyers is CSWA GM and it says Master Bull for HWF GM.  You are not on the list so we can’t let you in.”  They Wayner took off in a huff (or maybe it was a minute and a huff)(sorry Marx brothers) and was forced to buy a ticket to the event from a scalper. 

Eventually he made his way backstage after one wrestler (Joe Jobber) vouched that he was the GM.  He approached Master Bull and asked what the heck was going on.  “Listen, you were never here.  I’m running the show.  In fact, all this paperwork you see here that YOU signed, gives me all managerial rights to everything that is related to the HWF.  So, since I am in charge, I’ll ask you to politely leave and go enjoy the show.”  Wayne looked to Jeff who just shrugged and then left. 

Jeff told Master Bull that he liked the way that was all handled and they finalized the paperwork that would give Master Bull GM ownership for 6 months of CSWA.  They shook on it and said that the show needs to get underway so it was time to get things started.

Pyro then goes off and the show has now officially begun.  As a reminder, there will be a few wrestlers who will have their careers on the line.  If they do not win, those all at risk include Booker T, Hulk Hogan, Cactus Jack, Nigel McGuinness, Taz, William Regal, Negronomicon and Superstar Billy Pearl.

Our first match of the night is led off by Booker T taking on Samoa Joe.  Joe starts with a running clothesline but Booker hits the Spinarooni. Book follows it up with a spinning smash but Joe locks in the rear naked choke for a submission attempt but Booker gets out.  Joe hits another running clothesline and Booker comes back with a dropkick.  Joe went for a running knee smash but Booker moved out of the way.  Both traded the same moves over and over without one getting the lead over the other.  The tide turned when Joe nailed Booker T with a running knee smash.  He went for the pin but Booker kicked out at 2.  Both men then collided and fell out of the ring.  Booker made it back in at 2 but it took a bit longer for Samoa Joe to get back in.  Booker went to the top and launched for a flying headbutt but Joe rolled out of the way.  Joe connected with a second running knee smash and Booker was out.  Joe made the cover and got the 1-2-3.  Samoa Joe gets the win and Booker T is now finished with active competition.  Both men shook hands as Booker got an ovation from the crowd as he left.

The second match was Hernandez taking on Jack Swagger.  This one was much shorter than the last as it went 9 minutes.  Jack Swagger had the lead for the majority of the match until he decided to showboat.  Hernandez then connected with a choke overhead suplex and a quick rollup for the win.  Swagger was not happy as Hernandez continued to taunt him as he headed towards the back.

 

Our first World title match was up with CM Punk taking on Christian for the CSWA World title.  This was an interesting match as Christian controlled the tempo but CM Punk didn’t fight back like we thought he would.  Christian started right off with a spinning backbreaker and a pin attempt but Punk kicked right out.  Christian then hit a falling DDT but got caught by the Punk-handle piledriver.  Punk then got in his face and just stared at him.  Punk tossed Christian to the outside but as soon as he was back in the ring, he hit a one man concerto for a 2 count.  Punk hits another Punk-handle piledriver and then tosses Christian out of the ring for a  6 count.  Punk hits an inverted frankensteiner but gets tossed out of the ring for his effort.  Punk goes for an inverted facelock neckbreaker but Christian reverses it and nails a dropkick for a 2 count.   Christian hits a flapjack but then gets tossed out of the ring (again).  Punk immediately locks in the Anaconda Vice but the champ won’t submit.  Christian goes for a  springboard plancha but Punk catches him and dumps him to the outside of the ring.  Christian looks to be hurt as he’s slow in getting up.  The ref hits 10 and declares Punk the winner of the match but does not award him the title. 

 

Next in the lineup is Chris Jericho taking on Antonio Cesaro.  Even though this match didn’t have much on the line, Master Bull decided that Jericho’s world title shot should be on the line.  This was a short 6 minute match that only saw Cesaro get in one offensive move.  After getting beat from pillar to post, Cesaro, after getting dumped to the outside, decided he’d had enough and walked out.  Jericho gets the win via countout and retains his spot.

 

The HWF title is on the line next with the Rock taking on Brock Lesnar.  Master Bull came out and said that he did not want another champion winning via countout (at least here, at Wrestlemania) so he added the stipulation that this would be a no-countout match.   This 9 minute battle saw the People’s Champ stand up to the monster. 

Rock started off with a  DDT that didn’t seem to faze Lesnar.  Brock came back with a  huge powerslam.  Rock hit another DDT and then the Rock Bottom.  He then went for a spinebuster but Lesnar just threw him off.  Rock hits a DDT and Lesnar hits the F-5 but didn’t go for a pin.  Rock looks to be hurt.  Lesnar picks him up but Rock was faking and hits a Belly to belly suplex.  Lesnar hits a Press Slam and goes for the pin but Rock kicks out at 1. A  huge power clothesline from the challenger is met with a spinebuster from Rock.  Rock then Laid the Smack down and went for a pin.  The ref counted 1…2…3.  Rock gets the win and retains the HWF World title.  Lesnar goes on a tear and dumps the Rock on the outside of the ring.  Rock tried to get back in but the officials held him back.  I doubt this is the last we’ll see from these two.

 

Out next was James Storm defending the IC title against Hulk Hogan.  Master Bull came out and said that this would be Hogan’s only shot….and he had to get it done in 10 minutes.  He also stated that he wanted a special guest ref for this match and said he’d pull a name out of a bag.  It was none other than Jimberg.  Jimberg came down and the bell rang. Hogan owned Storm.  That is all we can really say.  Hogan was beating on the Cowboy from pillar to post and even tossed him out of the ring.  Storm wanted to take off but Hogan chased him down and brought him back in just before the 10 count.  Using that as a distraction, Storm hits the Death Sentence on Hogan and with his feet on the ropes, got the 1-2-3 (maybe a tad fast)  just before the bell rang to signal the end of the match.  James Storm gets the win and retains the IC title.  Hogan is done with active competition.  Storm took off while Hulk shook some fans’ hands and then at the top of the ramp, did his signature poses and left.

 

In the back, the Mighty Casey was getting ready for his match.  He had “Barby” safe at his side.  It was intended for this match to take place within the confines of a barb wire cage but it got scrapped at the last minute and was turned into a Lights Out match.   Casey went to the ropes and Jack caught him with a bodyslam onto (not through) a table.  Casey nails an Avalanche drop and Cactus hits him with another bodyslam onto the table.  Casey hits a second Avalanche drop and then sets Cactus up on a table.  He goes to the top rope and hits a flying elbow smash.  Both men go through the table.  HOLY SH*T! chants were deafening.  Casey crawled over to make the cover and the ref counted 1….2…..3.  The Mighty Casey wins the match in just 4 minutes and is now the NEW MEDIA CHAMPION.  Jack then attacked Casey repeatedly hitting him with Barby until the blood was flowing.  Cactus should now be done and on Legend status. 

 

In the back, Casey was pleading with GM Master Bull to keep Cactus Jack on the roster but his reply was “Sorry, but the rules are the rules and even if I didn’t make them, I don’t really care to do anything about it.”  I guess that is that.

 

Ringside was getting cleaned up and then we saw more tables, some ladders and chairs brought down.  This could only mean that the Super Warrior/Nigel McGuinness match was up next.  Nigel starts off with a Tower of London cutter and a shoulder breaker before SW hits a Super Powerslam.  SW hits a one arm chokeslam and Nigel turns around and cold cocks the ref.  For the next 5 minutes, both men traded blow sometimes countering and reversing their opponents moves.  Nigel goes for a standing suplex but SW reverses it and locks in a cobra clutch.  Nigel is tapping but there is no ref.   Finally, he gets out.  Nigel battles back and does a moonsault through a table.  SW is picked back up but manages to knock Nigel out of the ring.  As he tries to get back in. SW knocks him out again.  Nigel then hits a Guvnor’s Crumpet Pedigree and goes for a pin but SW kicks out at 2.  Warrior tosses Nigel out again twice to give himself some recovery time.  Nigel hits a Tower of London cutter but only gets a 1 count.  Nigel then charged at SW in the corner but SW got out of the way and Nigel crashed into the turnbuckles.  SW nails a super powerbomb for a near 3 count.  SW then tosses Nigel to the outside and follows him.  He then delivers a nasty headsmash into the announce table.  He drops Nigel to the floor and makes the cover.  The ref hurries over and counts 1…2…3.  Super Warrior is the winner of this bout in 30 minutes.  Nigel is now out of a job.  The fans chant “Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, hey, hey, hey, good bye” and Nigel flips off the crowd and leaves.

 

Master Bull then came out and said that this next match would see one person lose their job.  Christopher Daniels and Kaz are teaming up to take on Shelton Benjamin and Charlie Haas.  Daniels starts off by being tossed out of the ring by Benjamin.  All of a sudden, Haas jumps in the ring and tosses Shelton from the ring.  He then hits a piledriver on Benjamin on the floor.  Shelton can’t make it back in before the 10 count so the Worlds Greatest Tag Team loses.  Master Bull comes out and says that Haas is a coward for attacking his partner in this way. He says he gives him an option…he can fight Shelton right here, right now or he can take a hike.  Benjamin gets back into the ring with anger flowing off of him.  Hass hightails it out of there and says he’s done.  Charlie Haas is out.
 

Next on our card is the Phenominal AJ Styles taking on the Viper Randy Orton.  During this match, Randy looked less like a Viper and more like a weasel.  AJ dominated the challenger until Randy got sneaky and after lulling AJ out of the ring, he ended up handcuffing him to the post.  AJ could not get loose so the ref makes it to 10 and counts AJ out.   AJ somehow manages to break the handcuff link and then chases Randy from the ring.

 

Our next match has John Cena defending the Western States Heritage title against Magnus.  Magnus starts off with the British Stomps and Cena hits the 5 knuckle shuffle.  He goes for a pin but Magnus kicks out.  Cena hits a knuckle jam and Magnus hits John with a sharp blow to the back. John doubles over and Magnus locks him in a sharpshooter.  John, in excruciating agony, taps.  OMG!  Magnus has just won the Western States Title. 

 

Next up was the team of Brodus Clay and Eric Young taking on Tensai and Taz.   This was an odd match as Taz kept tagging himself in.  He would refuse to tag out unless Tensai got lucky.  Each time Taz was in the ring beating down on their opponents (which was quite a bit), for some reason, he refused to go for the pin.  It was almost like he wanted to continue to torture his opponents.  Finally, the bell rang at 30 minutes and Tensai got into Taz’s face.  Taz pushed back and then EY, Brodus and Tensai teamed up to take out Taz.  Taz got dumped from the ring just as Master Bull came out and said that Taz was done. 

 

Next up was Damian Sandow challenging Jerry Lawler for his title shot.  Lawler’s in-ring career was also riding on this match.  Both men held their own for about the first 6 minutes of the match until Lawler took control with an abdominal stretch.  Sandow wouldn’t quit.  Lawler continued the barrage until Sandow came back with a spinning elbow drop.  He went for the pin but Jerry kicked out easily.  Lawler kicks Damian in the gut and then locks in the abdominal stretch. Again, Sandow didn’t quit.  Sandow came back with a swinging neckbreaker and that put an end to Lawler’s domination.  Damian hits knees to the midsection and followed it up with a Russian leg sweep.  He went for the pin but Jerry kicked out at 1. Damian hits a knee drop and goes for the pin but Jerry kicks out at 1.  Jerry tries for an armbar but it is reversed and turned into a swinging neckbreaker.  Damian goes for the pin but Jerry kicks out at 2.  Damian does the exact same thing, tries for the pin but Jerry kicks out. Damian then hits a spinning leg smash and followed it up with a Full nelson face smash and the finisher double arm neckbreaker.  He makes the cover and gets the 3.  Damian is the winner of the match.  Jerry walks over to shake his hand but gets kicked in the gut for his gesture.  Damian takes the King’s crown, puts it on his head and walks away.    

 

R-Truth and Santino were up next going against Wade Barrett and William Regal.  Barrett refused to tag out for the entire match.  Truth and Santino worked over Barrett while Regal looked on.  In the end, Santino got the win over Barrett with a Leg-Feed Enzuigiri.  After the match, Barrett confronted Regal for not coming in for the save and got pummeled.   Barrett took Regal out of the ring and threw him into the ring post.   He then laid Regal’s arm on the steel steps and with the swing of a chair, dislocated Regal’s arm.  Barrett left with his arms raised while Regal was helped to the back.  After getting checked out by the doctors, it was determined he had a nasty concussion from kissing the ringpost and with his dislocated arm, his in-ring career was over.  Master Bull came over and said that Regal was done.

 

Our third to last match of the night has Mr. Ken Anderson taking on Dean Ambrose.  This one saw the third member of the Shield taking on Misssssttteeeeerrrrrrrr…it didn’t finish due to Ambrose attacking him before the bell.  The two of them brawled down to the ring and proceeded to have a duel.  Both men took the lead throughout the match but no one really got a solid lead over the other.  This led to lots of false finishes (4 pin attempts by Ambrose compared to 2 by Anderson).  This ended up going to the time limit and it still took 2 minutes for officials to finally separate the two.  I’d expect a rematch to be in their future.

 

In the first of two main events tonight, CSWA World Champion Christian took on HWF Champion the Rock for the right to go on to meet RVD for the Undisputed title tomorrow night.  Master Bull made this a no time limit/no DQ match; there must be a true winner.  Christian began with a European uppercut and Rock tossed him out of the ring.  Christian hits an inverted facelock backbreaker and Rock hits a spinebuster.  Christian hits a falling inverted DDT and Rock pops up and hits a DDT of his own.  Christian with an inverted backbreaker then Rock breaks out the Smackdown and lays it on Christian. Rock hits a Belly to Belly suplex and Christian connects with a tornado DDT.  Rock is up and nails his own DDT.  Christian hits a springboard plancha and when he tries for a second one, he hops right into a spinebuster.  Christian goes for the Unprettier but Rock escapes.  Christian hits a dropkick but Rock connects with the Rock Bottom.  He goes for the pin but only gets a 2 count.  Christian goes for another springboard plancha but Rock gets out of the way.  Christian goes for another inverted DDT but Rocky neutralizes it.  Christian hits a European uppercut but Rock gets him in the Sharpshooter.  Christian does not submit as he is able to make it to the ropes.  Christian does the uppercut again and Rock locks in the Sharpshooter again.  Christian again makes it to the ropes.  Christian hits the Unprettier but is only able to get a 1 count.  Christian hits another Unprettier and follows it up with a springboard plancha.  Rock goes to lay the smackdown but Christian nullifies it..  Rock hits a spinebuster but Christian manages to hit the one man concerto.  He makes the cover but Rock kicks out at 2.  Rock lays the smackdown on Christian twice and followed it up with a  spinebuster but Christian hits the Unprettier for a one count.   Christian hits a springboard plancha and tries for a pin but Rock kicks out at 2.  Christian is frustrated right now and he goes and kicks the ropes.  He turns around and Rock hits a Rock Bottom.  He makes the cover and the 1..2…3 follows.  Rock is the winner and will go on tomorrow to meet RVD for the Undisputed title.  What a match!

 

Our final match of the night has a slight delay as the ring crew set up a scaffold around the ring.   As we get ready for our final match, Jimberg is in the back looking more focused than ever.  This last time, Joe Jobber insulted Jimberg’s hygiene.  The Lil’ Bossman has finally had enough.  This would be settled once and for all.  He would see to it.  Out comes the ref but it’s someone new.  It is “Slow Count” Sam.  Oh great.  I hope this doesn’t really affect the outcome.  Joe is out first followed by Jimberg.  Action is in the ring as Jobber hits a back bodydrop on Jimberg.  He then follows it up with a forearm smash.  Jimberg freaks out and chases Jobber up the scaffold.  While up there, Joe kicks him in the gut but Jimberg nails a sky high suplex on the scaffold.  Jimberg then hits the Jimhammer on Joe.  Jimberg hits a second Jimhammer and goes for a pin but Slow count sam (who is down below) is having a hard time seeing up there so he only counts to 1. They make their way down.  Joe tries for a back bodydrop but Jimberg nullifies it.  Jimberg hits a huge powerslam and goes for a pin but Joe kicks out at 2.  Both men go back up and Jimberg trips Joe.  Jimberg then dangles Joe from the scaffold only holding his feet but Joe doesn’t give up.  He makes it to the side supports and crawls back down.  Jimberg then locks in the most devastating headlock ever.  Joe submits.  But the match is not over.  Now, we must go back up the scaffold.  Both men climb back.  Jimberg then slams Joe’s head into the scaffold.  He rubs Joe’s face across the platform blinding Joe.  Jimberg then grabs ahold of Joe and launches him off the scaffold.  Joe’s costume actually grew wings out from under his arms.  He glided to the bottom and landed, for the most part, unscathed.  He laughed at Jimberg as he tried to leave.  All of a sudden, out comes Donnie B, MW3, SW, Mighty Casey and Master Bull.  They prevented Joe from leaving.  They all charged the ring (except for Master Bull) and tore the “wings” out from his costume.  They then chased him back up the scaffold into the waiting arms of Jimberg.  Jimberg then hit a piledriver on Joe.  He pushed him over the edge and Joe tumbled to the ring.  He landed awkwardly.  The gang then covered him in tar and feathers and Jimberg, who had made is way down, kicked Joe out of the ring.  The gang congratulated Jimberg on his win.  I think we may have finally seen the last of Joe Jobber.

 

Well, that is all we have for Day 1.  Stay tuned for Day 2.

HWF/CSWA Wrestling Newsletter 2013 04.01: It starts here:

Hello fans and welcome back to our first April newsletter.  In this issue we will recap the events that took place at the Fanfest that led up to Wrestlemania.  The fanfest was a 3 day show with panels, meet and greets and the like.  Day 1 of the event had appearances from Legends such as Stone Cold Steve Austin, Ricky “the Dragon” Steamboat, Terry Funk, and the Ultimate Warrior. 

There was a panel that had both Super Warrior and Ultimate Warrior on it.  This was the only panel that there was a charge for as UW felt that what he had to say was worth money to people so if they wanted to hear it from him, they’d have to pay (I think Master Bull set that up). 

Day 2 of the event had the HWF superstars and people were packed in like sardines.  It was a tremendous success.  Every superstar (even Master Bull and the Super Warrior) stuck around until all fans got their autographs.  There was a young man who came to the show and met up with Master Bull.  The two of them had a pretty long conversation.  We’re not sure who this guy is (yet), but I’m sure we will find out soon.

Day 3 and the CSWA superstars were another story – specifically (yep, you guessed it) The Elitist Reid Rothchild.  This guy is such a jerk.  He was charging $200 for an autograph (double that what the Ultimate Warrior was charging) and he said that his signature is worth gold and if people didn’t want to pay it, they didn’t deserve it.  In fact, the only person we saw at his table was our PPV name contest winner known as Ravishing Raquel.  She stayed at his table and the two of them made googily eyes at each other.

Donnie B and Jeff Meyers were on a panel discussing the history of the HWF and CSWA (this one was sold out) and they told some great stories.  Meyers even recapped the history between MW3 and the Undertaker.  It got a lot of good laughs.  Donnie B told the fans about some behind the scenes gossip about the Negronomicon that got people “oohing and ahhhing”.    (Donnie B also told a story about when he (in “real” life) went to Houston for a wrestling show and while there, went to a book signing being done by HHH.  When it was his turn, he mentioned to Hunter that he came in to town for the event and for the signing.  HHH then stood up and shook his hand thanking him for coming in.  Not such a bad cat after all.)

All in all, the show was a huge success.  With the exception of Reid Rothchild, everyone had fun and enjoyed themselves (we’re sure Reid had some fun too).

Wrestlemania is coming up next.  Stay tuned.

HWF/CSWA Wrestling Newsletter 2013 03.09 – We’re almost there:

Welcome back to our world of professional wrestling.  Wrestlemania is just around the corner and we know it will be a blast.  Just to give you an update, the Wrestlemania (weekend) newsletter will be in 3 parts.  The first will cover the fan fest; the second will cover the details of Day 1 and the third will cover the final day of the PPV.  We are happy to say that Wrestlemania, being held in sunny San Diego, CA, is completely sold out.  The influx of revenue we got from the fan fest pre-sell tickets (also sold out) helps to ensure that this years’ Wrestlemania will (hopefully) be the best ever.  We are also proud to announce that Jim Ross and Jesse Ventura have agreed to lead the announce team for the online broadcast. 
 

We have also decided that, after careful deliberation, to go with the name “Apocalypse” as the PPV name that will replace Wrestlemania starting next year.  Congratulations go to “Ravishing Raquel” for the winning submission.  She will have a ringside seat at Wrestlemania as well as an all access pass to the Fan Fest.  To some degree, we still like Negronomicon’s suggestion about giving the finger to “the man” but we surely do not want to risk any (more) lawsuits.

 

Wrapping up things in the back were Master Bull and theWayner (making another rare appearance).  They were discussing the HWF portion of the card.  Wayner seems to think they they will have the show stealer and look forward to keeping the Undisputed title under the HWF banner.  RVD may be the current Undisputed champion but he has be lax in just getting in the ring.  Just for the heck of it, they decided that Rob needed to get in the ring and dust off some ring rust.  They didn’t want to chance him getting hurt but didn’t want to give him a walk in the woods so they chose Dolph Ziggler as his opponent.  Dolph’s championship caliber matches have gone the time limit so they made this one a no time limit fight.  They want to see if Dolph is ready for the “big time”.

Dolph did not seem ready for this fight as RVD owned him for 12 minutes.  In the end, Rob gets the win after hitting a 5 star frog splash.  After the match, Dolph got on the mic and told Master Bull that he was not mentally prepared and pleaded for another shot to show what he can do.  Master Bull thought it over and allowed for a second match to take place.  This time, Dolph was ready and RVD was not.  In less than 30 seconds, Dolph locked in a sleeperhold and put the undisputed champ to sleep.  Dolph got the submission win.  On his way to the back, the two of them shook hands as Master Bull congratulated him on his win.  Dolph said to watch for him in the World title scene because now, he is ready.

 

The fanfest and Wrestlemania will be next week so be sure to come back for what is shaping up to be a great event.  Stay tuned.

HWF/CSWA Wrestling Newsletter 2013 03.08

Hello fans.  Welcome back.  Well, we have received other names for the name of the PPV that will replace Wrestlemania (there is still time to submit your suggestions) but the frontrunners are Apocalypse and (unfortunately) what Negronomicon said (give the finger to the “man” and just keep the name).  As much as we’d love to do what he thinks, we just have an issue admitting he may actually be right. 

 

Wrestlemania is just around the corner and we are stoked.  In fact, Master Bull was having a secret meeting (closed door and soundproofed – we checked) and after he emerged, he was seen shaking hands with someone – maybe a new prospect?  I guess we’ll have to wait and see.

 

Things are heating back up between Jimberg and Joe Jobber.  This time, Joe took to the internet and just blasted the lil’ bossman.  If there wasn’t a scaffold match coming up, it very well could have been grounds for a slander/defamation suit.  I’m sure Jimberg has had enough of the King of the Jobbers and looks forward to really putting him in his place (or the hospital will work too).

 

The Donnie B/Reid Rothchild feud has continued but this time, Donnie B invited the trouble on his own.   DB purposely parked in Reid’s spot and even waited for him.  Reid saw DB waiting and kept driving.  Donnie B followed him to where he parked and started brawling with RR.  Reid got back in his car and began to take off.  Donnie B was pounding on the car so Reid flipped a U and then hit Donnie B with his car.  DB went down, hurt but not seriously.  Reid then drove to his spot and used his car to push Donnie B’s out of his spot.  He parked and then proceeded to push the car (I guess he’s pretty strong) right into a ditch. 

 

Inside the building, Reid began gloating about what he did.  He then claimed he was going to challenge Cena right here and now for the Western States Title.  Master Bull came over and said that DB was tearing up the place looking for him so for the sake of his own skin, Reid was being sent home.  Reid left without further incident.

 

We had a couple of 6 man battles take place.  One of the matches featured 3MB and the other was the Shield.  In the first battle, 3MB took on BJ Whitmer, Crimson and Jay Lethal.  In a 29 minute fight, 3MB emerged victorious after McIntyre took out Crimson and the others just couldn’t make the save.

 

The next one had the Shield taking on Chris Jericho, Dolph Ziggler and Ken Anderson.  The team led by Jericho could not get on the same page.  Each man wanted to be the team lead and tried to hog the glory for themselves.  Their stupidity was their undoing as the Shield made quick work and Anderson got pinned. Neither Jericho or Dolph wanted to come in for the save. 

 

After the match, Jericho was attacked by Antonio Cesaro and they brawled to the back.  Dolph took off on his own.  The Shield (Reigns and Rollins) got out of the ring to let Ambrose continue the beatdown on Anderson.  Mr. Meyers made an appearance and said that since neither Anderson or Ambrose were scheduled to wrestle at WM, they would be added to the card.

 

CM Punk came out and cut a promo on Christian saying how he was going to beat the champ; defeat the CSWA champ and then go on to take the Undisputed title from RVD.  Christian came out and they had some words and a bit of brawling but separated before things got too heated.

 

We will have one final update before Wrestlemania takes place.  Stay tuned.

HWF/CSWA Wrestling Newsletter 2013 03.07

Hello fans.  Please make sure you go to our site hwfcswafantasy.blogspot.com to post your thoughts for a new PPV name and read those that others have submitted.

Well, we got one so far from a reader who calls herself “Ravishing Racquel” and she submitted the name “Apocalypse”.  Our very own Negronomicon told us that we should just “give the finger to the man” and keep Wrestlemania.  Not quite sure we can do that so we moved on.

In an attempt to move himself up the rankings, Negronomincon challenged Brad Maddox.  Maddox, since showing up, hasn’t won a match yet.  In 18 minutes, N eliminated the competition and got himself another win.

Mike “the Axe” Medley also did the same and challenged Brodus Clay.  In 19 minutes, Medley gets the win and also moves up in the rankings.

MW3, who has not had the best streak going attempted to add another win to his record by taking on Epico Colon.  MW3, who was not looking his best, barely got a win over Epico.  MW3 may seriously have to go back to the drawing board and try something new.

In an effort to also move himself up the rankings, “the Elitist” Reid Rothchild challenged Media Champion Cactus Jack for his spot at the Western States title.  This is only for ranking positioning.  Reid was getting his butt handed to him since Donnie B was commenting at ringside and Reid kept getting distracted.  The win finally came Reid’s way when from the crowd came the Mighty Casey and after Reid tossed Cactus from the ring, Casey repeatedly nailed Cactus with the barbwire bat (called Barby) and then DDT’d him on the floor.  He rolled under the ring before the ref could see him.  Cactus gets counted out and Reid not only moves up in the rankings but gets that all important win on his record.

Donnie B also wrestled and took on Zack Ryder.  This was a short match as Zack got counted out after only 2 minutes.  This allowed Reid to hit the ring and attack Donnie B.  Jeff Meyers came out and basically said that these two were forbidden from touching each other until the PPV.  Reid didn’t like being told what to do so he called for Medley to come down.  The Axe made his way down and Reid had Mike pummel Donnie B a little more until MW3 hit the ring and cleared The Axe from the ring while Reid bailed out.  He immediately ran to the back leaving Medley behind.  This allowed for Donnie B and MW3 to double team Medley until he wised up and also bailed.

In looking at the rankings, Jimberg is undefeated with 1 win, 0 loses.  Jimberg has stated that after he rids wrestling of Joe Jobber once and for all, he would probably retire from the ring. His mind wasn’t totally made up but I think that if Jobber escapes the scaffold intact, this feud will continue.

Superstar Billy Pearl took on the Super Warrior.  11 minutes later after a devastating Super Powerbomb, SW walks out with the win.

As we get closer to the event, I expect more singles matches to take place so that those with the best records (non champions) will get invited to the invitational battle royal.  This one will be HWF and at the next PPV will be CSWA’s.  Stay tuned.

Welcome back fans as we continue on our path to the Greatest show in the world – Wrestlemania.  A small piece of information has come this writers’ way.  It turns out that Donnie B was contacted by the WWE (fantasy world) and they have requested we no longer use the name Wrestlemania for our event.  Based on the relationship we’ve had with them in the past (is this Hunters’ doing?), this came as a pretty big shock to us. We did reach an agreement that will allow us to call our next event Wrestlemania but going forward, we needed to choose a new name.  Bunch of jerks J.  Oh well.  In order to make sure we were “in compliance” with the other PPV names, we submitted the list of names we’ve chosen.  They of course were concerned over the (previous WCW) names such as Starcade, Clash of the Champions and the Great American Bash but because the “E” is not currently using them, we would be allowed to use these terms but of course had to pay for the use of copywrited names.  It is a small price to pay but since it is an unexpected cost, we had to figure out something that would allow us to cover those fees.

Donnie B, Jeff “the Hawk” and Master Bull (filling in for the always missing Wayner) all got together and tossed around ideas such as a “One Night Only” show to a fan gathering at all PPV’s where they could meet and greet their favorite wrestlers.  The “fan fest” was the accepted method and shortly thereafter, Meyers and Bull made a joint announcement that starting with Wrestlemania© WWE – only time I’ll do that), we would have our fan fest the day before each PPV.  As soon as the announcement was made, tickets went on sale and within 2 hours, were completely sold out.  We could not believe it.  I think we have a winner on our hands.  Now, all we have to do is get the wrestlers to play nice with the fans and we should be ok.

The owner and 2 GM’s thought it might be a good idea to let you, the fans and readers of our newsletter, to submit names (really, we want input) to what we would be calling our future PPV.  We will compile the list and then convene to determine the best name.  If we choose a name provided by a fan, that fan will have a ringside seat at Wrestlemania (provided we get feedback before the April event). Good luck everyone.  More wrestling news will follow soon.

Hi and welcome back.  In this (lengthy) issue, there are more matches that have been added to the card.  Those include:

Brodus Clay vs EY and Tensai vs Taz

Damian Sandow vs Jerry Lawler for his title shot.

R-Truth and Santino vs Wade Barrett and William Regal

Matt Morgan vs Ezekiel Jackson

Kevin Steen vs Jay Lethal

Abyss vs Tommy Dreamer

Another day comes and it is accompanied by more drama from our resident drama queen named “The Elitist” Reid Rothchild. This time, Reid went out and found himself a parking space.  He proceeded to put up “Spot reserved for the Elitist” signs and even put up ropes to protect “his space”.  He claims he paid for it but was not able to produce a receipt.  Of course, Donnie B saw this and called bullshit.  He moved all the barriers out of the way and proceeded to park there. 

This of course led to Reid crying and whining to Master Bull.  Master Bull told him to head to the ring and air his grievances there.  He went down to the ring and called out Donnie B.  DB came out with mic in hand and promo at the ready.

“Listen up sh*thead, you come out here crying about a spot.  Not a spot on your shirt, not a liver spot or even your dog Spot but a parking spot.  I can’t believe you get your panties in a bunch over something so stupid.  I tell you what…our match at Wrestlemania; lets add your “spot”  as a grand prize – no I don’t mean your dog Spot.  No more whining, or complaining.  I win, its mine.  You win, I back off and never park there again.  Does that sound acceptable and did I use small enough words for you to comprehend?”  Reid had a mic of his own.  “Yeah, I accept you douchbag.  I will make you wish you never messed with me in the first place.  Oh, Miiiiiike.”  Medley then attacked Donnie B and began to pummel him.  This brought out MW3 and he chased “the Axe” off. 

Master Bull then came out and made a match between Donnie B and MW3 against Rothchild and Medley.  This was a pretty short match that ended the way we would have expected except that Reid and Mike were dominating their challengers.  At the 8 minute mark, Reid hits a Rothchild Stunner and DB falls out of the ring.  At the same time, MW3 hits a superkick on Medley and he falls out of the ring.  Donnie B was able to make it back in before the 10 count but the Axe did not.  DB and MW3 win the match by countout.  Rothchild ended up taking off without his partner.  This led to a brief doubleteam on the Axe until he was able to escape on his own.  He looked around for his tag partner and he was nowhere to be found.

Drama also continued around the Cactus Jack/Mighty Casey/barbwire bat storyline.  Cactus has been looking for his bat everywhere even falling into a similar pattern that a former ECW’er did when he lost his best friend (Moppy the mop – yes, a floor mop).   Cactus has been calling out for “Barby” and it seems pretty desperate and sad all at the same time.  While going through some boxes in the back, Casey attacks Jack with the bat beating him down with it.  Cactus almost manages to get it back but Casey manages control and chases Jack off.

Mike The Axe was in the back looking for his partner when he found him (of course) standing in front of a mirror talking to himself.  “You know, when you think about all those before me such as Ravishing Rick Rude, the Narcissist Lex Luger, the Model Rick Martel, none of them can hold a candle to me.  Hell, I’m even better than the Million Dollar Man Ted DiBiasi, IRS, Hunter Hearst Helmsley and Alberto del Rio.  I AM the Elitist and everyone is beneath me.”  At that point, he phone rang.  He looked at his phone and smiled as he answered it.  “You know, I was just thinking about you…yeah, I know…later because I have some stuff to take care of.”  With that he hung up the phone and just as he turned around, he literally ran into Alberto Del Rio.  “I heard you talking about me.  You think you are better than me?  Why don’t we take it to ringside and find out?”  Del Rio walked off and Reid was nervous.  He yelled for The Axe and as soon as he showed up (he took his darn time), they went to ringside.

An impromptu match took place between Del Rio and Reid Rothchild.  Before the match could take place, Reid threw in a stipulation that he wanted Del Rio’s spot for the World title picture.  Del Rio almost fell over with laughter.  “No.  But how about an ass kicking instead?”  Del Rio then began to beat Rothchild from pillar to post.  Reid got in a couple of cheap shots but was being overwhelmed.  Reid tossed Alberto to the ropes and Medley pulled the top rope down and Alberto went crashing to the floor.  As Reid distracted the ref, Axe tossed ADR back into the ring. Medley began to walk away.  Reid was beside himself and started yelling at Mike.  He was so distracted that ADR rolled him up and got the pin.  Reid then turned around and delivered a Rothchild Stunner to ADR and left him laying in the ring.

RVD was in the back making a rare appearance when he was confronted by Abyss.  Abyss said he needed to loosen up and suggested RVD join him for a match.  RVD scoffed at him and as he started to walk away, Abyss attacked him and dragged him to the ring.  Abyss dominated the first few minutes but eventually RVD battled back and with the help of a chair, connected with a Van Daminator and followed it up with the 5 Star Frog Splash.  He was able to get the pin and celebrated in the ring but the mood quickly turned somber as both regional World Champions Christian and the Rock made their way down to ringside.  There was a staredown and some jaw-jacking going on but really didn’t amount to much.  RVD walked away and Christian and the Rock both had mics and we assume they will be discussing their opponents at Wrestlemania.  Christian began.

“Well, it looks like Wrestlemania will be the greatest show on earth.  I will be defending my title against CM Punk.  Do you know what CM stands for?  Punk seems to see himself as a ‘chick magnet’ and while I find that absolutely hilarious, I’m pretty sure he is serious about it.  Punk, the only thing you’ll be a magnet for will be another loss on your record when I walk out as the World Champion.”

Rocky’s turn: “The Rock,  here, now, and forever, will be the People’s Champion (not to be confused with Christian as the Peep’s champ).  The Rock gets to take on Brock Lesnar.  Lesnar, an overblown, inflated egomaniac who thinks he can walk the Rock’s path, stand toe to toe with the Rock and (gasp) think he can take the Rock’s belt?  Well you are wrong.  The Rock will walk out the champion and no offense Christian, but the Rock will defeat you too and go on to defeat RVD and become the Undisputed Heavyweight Champion.  This is the Rock’s lot in life.”  Christian got into the Rock’s face and had some words with him before the two ended up separating.

Mr Meyers was talking in the back with the World Tag Team Champions Negronomicon and Superstar Billy Pearl.  SBP and N were polishing the belts as Mr Meyers informed them that if they lose the belts at Wrestlemania, he would have to let them both go.  Both were besides themselves.  N started off on a rant “What do you mean ‘let us go’?  We are the f’n World tag team champions.  We are better than you, than that GM loser who never shows up for work or his lackey – what’s his name…Master Bullshit?”  Both got a good laugh out of that.  Almost on cue, Master Bull walked in and let them know that in no uncertain terms that he is backing Mr Meyers 100% and he will be sure that he is the one that will make sure the door hits them in the asses on their way out.  He walked off and let his words sink in.  SBP then said “Well, I guess we’d better be ready.”  N agreed.

Nigel McGuinness says he’s stoked that he only has to face the Stupid Warrior one more time.  He will be sure to embarrass him and send him away with his tail tucked between his legs.  Master Bull came up to him and said that he had better honor his word because if he does not, he will be out of a job.  Nigel looked surprised but said that he will fulfill his destiny…defeat the Stupid Warrior and then eventually become the X-Division champ.  He says you can take that to the bank.

Master Bull and Mr Meyers were having a brainstorming session.  They had decided that they do not want wrestlers who will show up “every once in a while”.  They need to have dedicated full timers.  They collectively made the decision that if the following wrestlers did not win their respective matches (not including those who’s jobs are on the line), that they would end up modifying their existing contracts. That list includes Hulk Hogan, Booker T, Jerry Lawler, Cactus Jack and William Regal.  They would not necessarily be let go but would be set up with a “Legends” contract and would then only be used where it was felt they could provide the greatest ROI.  This was a reason all of these guys were participating in Wrestlemania. 

The list of guys whose jobs are on the line include the Negronomicon, Superstar Billy Pearl, Nigel McGuinness,  

I guess we’ll see what transpires.  Stay tuned.

HWF/CSWA Wrestling Newsletter 2013 03.04

Hello and welcome back.  As discussed in the last issue, we have a pretty substantial card set up.  The plan will be to host the event over two consecutive days to avoid having an event that will run 6+ hours.  Mark Henry made an appearance and was wondering why he wasn’t going to be at the biggest show of the year – Wrestlemania.  He started to insult the roster when from the back came Rey Mysterio.  Mysterio said that if Henry wanted a fight, he could have one…unfortunately, it would not be with him.  He was injured at the hands of 3MB.  He had a suggestion for the World’s Strongest Man.  Mysterio introduced the Olympic Champion Kurt Angle.  Angle too was very pissed that he wasn’t wrestling at the PPV as champion so he agreed to the match.

Super Warrior also did not have an opponent yet.  He of course wanted another shot at his former partner Nigel McGuinness.  Nigel accepted with the stipulation that if he were to win, he would want nothing to do with the Super Warrior ever again.  It was agreed upon that this would be their final confrontation.

GM Wayne Tuttle made a rare appearance and met with his asst GM Master Bull.  MB explained he had everything under control.  He had more paperwork that he had Mr. Tuttle sign off on and of course, the Wayner didn’t read it. 

After Mr. Tuttle left, Master Bull met up with Mr. Meyers.  They had some more discussions and both ended the meeting with a shaking of the hands.

Negronomicon and Superstar Billy Pearl were told that they needed to defend their titles against someone prior to the PPV.  Neither man were happy about that.  Since they had to choose someone, they chose the USO’s.  It went about 20 minutes and even though the challengers were killing the champs, N and SBP were able to retain the belts after Jimmy Uso got counted out. 

Christopher Daniels and Kazarian opted to take on the World’s Greatest Tag Team comprised of Shelton Benjamin and Charlie Haas. 

Austin Aries came down flaunting his championship.  At this point, he opted to get another title defense under his belt.  He called out Mike Bennett and told him if he wanted a title match, he would have to take it now.  After a 15 minute battle, Aries walks out with his championship intact.

The ongoing saga between Reid Rothchild and Donnie B continued.  This time it was away from the squared circle.  Donnie B was standing in line outside a nightclub when Reid (followed by that lost puppy dog Mike the Axe) decided to move himself to the front of the line.  A few people complained until Reid verbally bashed them.  Donnie B though, would not stand by and let this jerk get his way.  Both men got into a shoving match until Reid blindsided DB (he hit him with one of those metal poles that are used (with straps) to control lines.  Donnie B went down and Reid and Axe took off.  Mike did stop to look back but Reid yelled at him to follow.

GM Jeff Meyers, after receiving a call from the nightclub about the behavior that transpired, decided to make RR and DB’s match a Chicago Street Fight.  Basically, anything goes. 

And an event is not complete without having Joe Jobber badmouth Jimberg.  This time, Joe was questioning Jimberg’s manhood.  This of course prompted the lil’ bossman to come out and start brawling the the king of the Jobbers.  GM Meyers came out and said that these two are out of control.  He told Jimberg that he understood his frustration and said that this can end – if Jimberg wants it to.  He said yes.  Meyers than said that their match would take place old-school – on a scaffold.  Jobber looked terrified.  Joe hit Jimberg with a low blow.  The ref ended up shoving Joe out of the ring.  Jimberg was helped to his feet and as the ref helped him up, his pyro went off showering the ring with sparks and confetti. 

I think “our” road to Wrestlemania is really shaping up.  Within the next couple of weeks, we hope to have interviews from some of the key players and will post those here.  More to follow.

HWF/CSWA Wrestling Newsletter 2013 03.03

We are back with even more so without further ado:

Brock Lesnar, Chris Jericho and the Undertaker all want shots at the Rock’s Heavyweight title.  All three will be forced to wrestle each other in Best of 3 falls matches.  The one who has the most wins will go on to face Rocky at Wrestlemania.

Big E Langston (the North American champ) challenged Cody Rhodes but Super Warrior came out and said that he wanted the title shot.  Big E said that the two of them could duke it out and the winner will get a shot at Wrestlemania.

MW3 challenged Dean Ambrose for his spot.  Dean Ambrose retained in 12 minutes.  MW3, not one to give up so easily immediately challenged Zack Ryder.  Ryder retained his spot after a 15 minute battle.  MW3 decided to give it one more shot.  He challenged Ted Dibiasi jr.   After a 24 minute battle, Ted gets counted out.  MW3 is back in the title hunt.  MW3 immediately challenged Mike “the Axe” Medley for his title shot (for the Western States title) to take place at Wrestlemania.  Medley agreed.

Chris Jericho and Brock had their best of 3 falls.  In a falls count anywhere match, Jericho scored the first pin and Brock scored the second.  The 3^rd fall would be a Lights out match and Jericho walked out with a 2-1 score.

Next, Brock and Undertaker had theirs (took place the following night).  This also would be a Falls Count anywhere match.  Brock took the first fall and Undertaker scored the second.  Master Bull came out and made this one a Buried Alive match.  Brock dominated the match and ended up locking Undertaker in the casket to get the 3^rd fall.  Brock’s score is now 3 wins and 3 loses.

The following night, Jericho and Undertaker had their best of series.  Undertaker got the first pin as well as the second.  This put his record as tied with Lesnar.  Jericho is 2-3.  Jericho needs to get the last fall.  He achieves it after burying the Undertaker in the casket.  All 3 have the same record.

HHH came out and said that he needs to be in on this too.  HHH picked Jericho as his opponent and Brock would go against Undertaker again. These would all be falls count anywhere rules.  Jericho advanced over HHH.  Brock Lesnar advanced over ‘Taker after hitting him in the face with a frying pan.  Brock then made short work of the former Undisputed Champion after pinning him with the f-5.  Brock goes on to meet the Rock for the World title.

In other news, you may remember that “the Elitist” Reid Rothchild stole John Cena’s belt.  Well, that didn’t sit well with Mike “the Axe”.  Axe took the title when the Elitist was too busy admiring himself in a mirror and returned the title to Cena.  Cena said that after Wrestlemania, he would offer Medley a shot.  Medley was thankful.

Rothchild finally tore himself away from the mirror to discover his (stolen) title was gone.  Medley came back in whistling to himself.  Rothchild went on a tear and verbally assaulted Medley. 

Cody Rhodes and the Super Warrior had their battle. After 3 minutes, SW got counted out.  Cody Rhodes goes on to meet Big E for the North American title.

Kurt Angle took on James Storm in a rematch for the Intercontinental Title.  After 4 minutes, Angle gets Storm to tap out to the Ankle lock.  Angle wins….hang on.  Out comes Master Bull.  He says that he didn’t authorize this match today.  He questions Angle as to who he thinks he is.  This is the “Master Bull Show” and what he says goes.  He said that previous match is stricken from the records.  Now, under his new rules, Storm will defend against Angle but in a Texas Death match.  Angle once again controlled the match and was able to secure the pin after hitting Storm with the ringside bell (GONG!).  Again, out came Master Bull and said that Angle used a foreign object (even though anything goes in this match) and disqualified Angle.  He then announced that Hulk Hogan would take on the Cowboy James Storm at Wrestlemania.

In late breaking news, it was announced that with the growing card for Wrestlemania, the matches will be broken out over 2 days.  Both days are expected to be full of action.

Here is how the Wrestlemania card  is shaping up:

Negronomicon and SBP vs. the Hardys for the World tag team titles (jobs are on the line for N and SBP).

CM Punk challenged Christian for the World title.  Christian accepted.

The Miz challenged Daniel Bryan for his title.  Bryan accepted.

Big E. Langston vs Cody Rhodes for the North American title.

Cactus Jack vs The Mighty Casey with both the Media title and the barbwire bat on the line.

MW3 vs. Mike “the Axe” Medley for his Western States title shot.

The Rock vs Brock Lesnar for the World title.

Austin Aries takes on Bobby Roode for the US title.

James Storm vs Hulk Hogan for the IC title.

John Cena would be taking on Magnus for the Western States title.

RVD will defend the Undisputed title against the winner of the World Championship matches

Donnie B vs The Elitist Reid Rothchild in a street fight.

Super Warrior vs

Ryback vs HHH is also added to the card

Alberto Del Rio would be taking on Sheamus

Booker T takes on Samoa Joe

Reigns and Rollins take on the Dudley boys in a tables match

Chris Jericho takes on Antonio Cesaro

Hernandez takes on Jack Swagger

Big Show vs Kane

I’m sure we’ll have more news soon.  Stay tuned.

HWF/CSWA Wrestling Newsletter 2013 03.02

Hello fans, we have news coming out our ears so let’s get right to it.

In their 1^st match of their best of 7, Sting took on Hulk Hogan.  Hogan proved that he still has it.  It took 6 minutes and a leg drop for Hogan to score the first fall.  Since this was such a short match, Master Bull called for another.  The next fall went 17 minutes and ended up with Hogan getting the 2^nd win.  Master Bull came out and said “what the heck…lets go for 3”.  This time though, it would be in the confines of a steel cage.  Another pathetically short match and Hogan gets the 3^rd win. Hogan is up by 3.  Master Bull comes out and says that since Sting hasn’t done shit, this is it.  Hogan gets to move on.  He is interrupted by Kurt Angle.  Angle says that Storm robbed him of the title.  He asked for another shot at Storm.  Master Bull said no.  Angle asked what would be better TV…Hogan vs Angle for the title or a pathetic show with Storm laying down for the Hulkster?  Master Bull thought about it for a minute and said that at the next show, Angle would get a rematch against Storm in a match of Storm’s choosing.  Whomever wins that match will go up against Hulk Hogan at Wrestlemania.

The Rock came out and said that Master Bull (who is full of his own Bull) was making him wrestle tonight so he picked Dolph Ziggler as his opponent.  The Rock was totally unprepared for this match as Ziggler stood toe to toe with the Great One.  No matter what the Rock did, he could not get a pin.  Dolph managed to make it 30 minutes and the match was declared a draw.  Ziggler’s performance will definitely put him back in the title picture.

The World tag team champs Kane and Big show came out next to defend the titles against the Negronomicon and Billy Pearl.  This one was totally weird.  It went 14 minutes with the challengers dominating the champs.  What the HELL is going on here?  Kane and Show are not on the same page.  In fact, I think they both want out.  At the 14 minute mark, Pearl tosses Kane from the ring and Big Show tosses out Negronomicon. The ref made the count and neither man made it back in.  Both were counted out.  Master Bull was out really quick and said they were restarting the match. This time, no Countout.  If Kane and Show lose, they will be split up as a team and will not be allowed to team together again.  This time, the champs were on the same page and killed N and SBP.  It was bad.  N said that SBP was hogging the action and N said SBP wasn’t holding his own.  A shoving match began.  Big Show and Kane just stood there and watched and joked.  N and SBP saw this and then attacked the tag team champions.  This brought out Master Bull again and he booked another match.  This time though, it would take place within the confines of a steel cage.  The new stipulation would be that if Negronomicon and Superstar Billy Pearl win, they get the titles and will be forced to defend them against Show and Kane in a rematch at Wrestlemania.  If they lose, they will both be fired. 

Big Show begins by standing on N’s throat.  Kane comes in and catapults N into the cage.  Kane receives a thrust kick after that.  Show is back in and clotheslines N between the ropes and the cage.  It is not looking good.   N somehow connects with a flying elbow drop and lands on Show’s throat.  Show is hurt.  N then pulls out a pair of brass knuckles and pummels Big Show with them.  SBP traps Kane in the ropes.  Negronomicon goes for the pin and gets the 1-2-3.  They immediately get out of the ring and are declared the NEW WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS!  Insane.  The former champs will get a rematch at Wrestlemania.

This causes some issues between the Hardys and Dudleys.  They were supposed to fight to determine who would get a title shot at the champs at Wrestlemania.  They brought it to Master Bull and he said he would put in a mini tournament of 4 teams – Dudley Boys, Hardys,  Big Show and Kane and Reigns and Rollins.

 Big Show and Kane barely beat the team of Reigns and Rollins.  The Shield will continue to be contenders.  The Hardys defeated the Dudleys.

The Hardys went on to defeat the former tag team champs and will go against Negronomicon and SBP at Wrestlemania.

Stay tuned for more action.

HWF/CSWA Wrestling Newsletter 2013 03.01

Hello wrestling fans.  Welcome back to our 1^st newsletter for the month of March.  We immediately start off with Cactus Jack in the ring calling out the Mighty Casey.  He said that Casey had hit bat and he wants it back.  Casey showed up on the big screen to taunt Foley. “Aww, Cactus, did you lose something?  Well, guess what knucklehead, it’s mine now.  You think you can just disrespect me and think you’ll get away with it?  Try again.  It took me to stooping this low in order to get your attention.  Now that I have it and something that belongs to you, you’ll finally give me the respect I deserve.  You’ll get the bat back when I think you deserve it which will be, umm, never.  The Mighty Casey has the bat and if you get in my way, I’ll knock your head for a home run.”  As the screen went blank, Cactus went to storm out of the ring until Samoa Joe came down.  Joe had a mic in hand.  “Listen Cactus, our last match didn’t exactly blow the roof off the place but I’m here now to ask for a non-title match.  If I win, I want to be your Wrestlemania opponent.”  Mr Meyers came out but didn’t speak.  He motioned for Joe to head to the ring and for Cactus to get back in the ring.  Since Cactus is in line for the Western States title and Joe is in line for the media title, Jack’s spot would be on the line.

A very distraught Cactus took out his frustrations on the poor Samoa.  Cactus literally beat the holy hell out of Joe for a very lengthy 17 minute battle. In the end, Joe ends up getting pinned after being put down with the Mandible Claw.  Jack hollered for Casey but his cries fell on deaf ears.  Cactus retains his spot.

Mike “the Axe” Medley came out and challenged Rhyno for his spot.  Rhyno came out and said he wanted to make this more interesting.  He said he’d put his spot on the line if Medley would put his career on the line.  Mike didn’t think that was fair so he countered with Rhyno putting his career on the line. It was Rhyno’s turn to feel put out so he called for a specialty match – a brass knuckles battle.  If Medley wins, he not only gets Rhyno’s spot but will put Rhyno out.  He reluctantly agreed.  Rhyno was the first to bleed after getting nailed in the temple. After another 10 minutes of beating the heck out of each other (and were perfectly even in points) Medley nailed Rhyno in the groin incapacitating him.  After not being able to make any headway, he nailed Rhyno in the groin again.  He picked him up and nailed the Man-Beast in the face with the brass knucks.  Rhyno dropped like a wet burlap sack.  Medley made the cover and got the 1-2-3.  Medley moves up and Rhyno is out.

As we saw last month, Rey Mysterio tried to get back in the title hunt only to fall victim to 3MB and the devastating Jinder Mahal.  We did confirm that Rey was hurt and will out of action for some time. We don’t know if Rey will be back before Wrestlemania. 

Speaking of Mahal, he came down demanding his title shot at Christian.  After trying his best to stifle his laughter, Mahal attacked him.  It only took 10 short minutes to finish off his challenger and retain his title.  The rest of 3MB came down but Christian got out of there without incident.

Randy Orton called down John Cena stating he wanted his spot.  Cena came down.  It was a hard fought 19 minute battle but Cena was able to retain his spot.

Before Cena could leave, “The Elitist” Reid Rothchild came down demanding his title match.  A very weary Cena accepted.  Reid has never had his ass kicked this bad in his entire life as he did in this match.  Cena totally owned him.  Rothchild had his own special ref for this match but even with the ref refusing to make counts, Reid had no advantage.  He finally motioned for “the Axe” to come down.  Medley came down and then Reid tossed Cena from the ring.  Medley then planted Cena awkwardly on the steel steps.  It was a very nasty shot and I’m surprised he wasn’t severely injured.  Cena did not make it back in before the 10 count so Reid wins the match by countout but NOT the title.  Reid was not happy about it but the ref just said “what are you going to do?”  Reid took the belt, threw it over his shoulder and left the ring with it (he left Medley behind).

Master Bull made an appearance and called for some matches.  First match would be Daniel Bryan vs Ezekiel Jackson.  Jackson kept up with the champ and ended up taking him to a 30 minute draw.  Jackson will most likely be considered for a future title shot.

Big E Langston was up next defending his title against Sin Cara. The champ controlled the majority of the match but had trouble putting Cara away.  It took 22 minutes but he was finally able to accomplish it.

Kurt Angle came out next and said his challenger was none other than the Cowboy James Storm.  This was a very short match at 6 minutes but in the upset of the night, James Storm defeats Kurt Angle to become the NEW IC champion.  Kurt Angle was totally shocked.

                               

A very pissed off Kurt Angle calls out the Great Khali and challenges him for his spot. Angle took out all his frustrations on Khali and in 5 minutes, gets the pin.  Angle is back in the title hunt.

HWF/CSWA Wrestling Newsletter 2013 02.09 –  PPV fallout

Hello fans.  Well, there was a bit of fallout but not as much as we had planned.  We have received some information that we wanted to pass along.  Following the Warzone PPV, it was decided by both Jeff Meyers and Master Bull (Wayne Tuttle was not available – again) that PPV’s would be pushed out by a month starting with Wrestlemania in April.  Wrestlemania will be a 2 day show.  This will allow more matches to take place and not necessarily have a performer have to wrestle more than 2x in a single night.  This move will allow there to be a PPV in December and will give feuds a starting point at the beginning of each year. 

HWF’s own roving reporter had an interview with Master Bull.  Here is how it went:

Larry: “Master Bull.   Thank you for taking time out of your day for this interview.”

MB: “Of course Larry.  My time is valuable but I can make time for this.”

L: “You and CSWA GM Jeff Meyers had a conversation.  Do you care to comment on it?”

MB: “Yes, GM Meyers and I have discussed the possibility of my being involved in both brands.  Mr. Tuttle has temporarily nixed that but negotiations are being worked on.”

L: “We received feedback from one of our readers asking why you cancelled two matches at the PPV.”

MB: “First of all, there were two battle royals that were inserted into the PPV and since those were more time consuming, I made that choice.  Also, I am running the show so if I choose to cancel a match, it is my discretion to do what I feel like doing.  Third, all the performers did approach me. Angle won a tournament and when I told him he didn’t have to wrestle again, he was relieved and walked away.  HHH and Jericho will happen at the next show.  Daniel Bryan was the only person who really had an issue.  When I told him that he got paid for participating in the battle royal, his tune changed and he walked away.  So you see, most of the wrestlers didn’t have an issue with it after all.”

L: “But some of the fans feel cheated.”

MB: “I make the rules.  I enforce the rules.  It’s that simple.  With that said, I need to run.”

L: “Master Bull, thank you for your time.”

MB: “You are welcome.”

Additional information that we’ve received is that going forward, all tag team matches will have 60 minute time limits to hopefully avoid more time-limit draws.  

Also, it was determined that at every PPV, there will be an invitational battle royal with the winner getting a title shot of his choice.  The winner must “cash in” within 2 months or they lose their shot.  HWF will have one and then CSWA will be the following month..

“The Elitist” Reid Rothchild came out to challenge Yoshi Tatsu for his shot for the Western States Heritage title.  Tatsu wasn’t going to give up his opportunity so easily so he asked for this to be a specialty match.  Reid was not happy about this as he felt he shouldn’t be damaging his good looks.  Finally he relented.  It took a full 30 minutes but Reid got the win after a Rock Bottom.  This was an Indian Strap match and Tatsu was not in good shape at the end of the match.  After the bell rang, Rothchild continued his beating on Tatsu until Donnie B came down and chased Reid from the ring. 

Cactus Jack and the Mighty Casey were set down and tried to figure out what was going on between these two.  Cactus blew off the interview stating that the Media Champion didn’t have time for this.  He left abruptly before anything could start but he left his barbwire bat behind.  Casey helped himself to it.

Super Warrior issued a challenge to Nigel McGuinness for his title shot.  Nigel accepted but only if it was

There were a few matches that took place. 

RVD defends his title against Tommy Dreamer.  RVD picked up the win after a 25 minute fight was ended with a  5 Star Frog Splash.

-          Christian defends his title against Roderick Strong.  Christian retained after Strong was counted out of the ring.

-          John Cena defended his Western States title against Santino.  It only took 16 minutes and an F-U later for Cena to remain the champ.

-          Daniel Bryan retained his title against Kofi after Kingston submitted to the powerful MMA strikes.

-          Super Warrior challenged Nigel McGuinness for his spot.  The stipulation was that this would take place using Boot Camp rules.  SW got the cheap, quick win after ambushing Nigel and got the (cheating) rollup.

-          Nigel McGuinness immediately challenged Chavo Guerrero for his spot.  After 3 minutes and a severe beating, Chavo gets counted out.  Nigel takes that spot.

-          MW3 challenged Magnus for his spot.  Magnus retained after Mike “The Axe” Medley interfered causing a distraction and Magnus capitalized on it.

-          Mike “the Axe” Medley challenged Kazarian for his spot.  Kaz retained after MW3 held down the Axe’s foot when he was getting pinned.

-          Big E. Langston put his title on the line for the first time against Matt Morgan.  After 10 minutes, Langston retained the title. 

-          Negronomicon and Billy Pearl vs the USO’s one last time.  This time, there would be no time limit. This time, it only took 4 minutes and Negronomicon and Billy Pearl finally get a win. The USO’s move down in the rankings.

-          Reigns and Rollins challenged the Prime Time Players for their shot.  The Shield robs the Prime Time Players of their title match.

-          The Prime Time players immediately challenged Rothchild and Medley.   Medley controlled a good portion of the match and Reid kept tagging himself in trying to hog the glory.  Reid delivered a ReidBottom and then Medley tagged himself in and nailed a devastating uppercut to Titus.  He made the cover and got the win for his team.  Reid was not happy but Axe was grinning from ear to ear.

-          Rey Mysterio challenged Jinder mahal for his spot but Mahal wasn’t going to give up lightly.  He called for and was granted a gauntlet match.  Mysterio would have to go through all members of  3MB in order to get the spot.  First up was Drew McIntyre.  First down was McIntyre.  It all ended fairly quick with the 6-1-9.  Slater was up next and promptly fell victim to a hurricanranna. Mahal was sweating.  Before the bell could ring, all 3 attacked Mysterio and when Mahal called for the bell, he immediately pinned Rey retaining his spot.  Rey looks to be injured.  We’ll need to keep an eye on his situation.

-          Both Sting and Hogan were arguing who would be next for Angle’s title.  Kurt came in and made a suggestion – how about a best of 7?  Sting was receptive of the idea but Hogan was leery.  As soon as Sting questioned Hogan’s ability to wrestle anymore, the Hulkster jumped on the bandwagon. 

This is all we have for now.  More to come.
