HWF/CSWA Wrestling Newsletter 2014 – 08.07 – Day 2 – Clash of the Champions PPV

Hello fans and welcome to Day 2 of the Clash of the Champions PPV live here in Denver, Colorado.  As a recap, at yesterday’s show, we saw only three champions retain and all the other titles changed hands.  We also saw the return of the Undertaker as he dumped Bray Wyatt and his warriors and took back the mantle of the character he’s had for so long.  The memory of Paul Bearer broke him out of his reverie and he was able to regain a title he was wrongly stripped of. 

The show begins with the superfans Derek, Kaitlyn Quinn and P’Nut HBIC all in their seats at ringside.  Hogan’s music hits and the GM makes his way to the ring in quick, powerwalk fashion.  He gets in the ring.  Surprisingly, there is no meat shield.  “The Hulkster is in the house, brother.  The CSWA once again has it’s champion.  With Undertaker winning the title, I’ve decreed that I want the HWF Champ Batista and CSWA Champ Undertaker to meet with the winner going against Bray Wyatt for the Undisputed Championship.”  He paused to let the fans cheer.  “Now, I know you all want action and not have me out here flapping my gums so I present to you…Day 2 of the CLASH OF THE CHAMPIONS, Brother!”  Hogan leaves the ring as pyro continues to go off.

Match #1 is ready to start and Mark Henry makes his way to the ring and he is followed immediately by the newest member of the A-Team and the current North American Champion, Abyss.  A shoving match begins in the ring before the bell can ring and the ref does a poor job separating them.   Finally, he is able to get them separated long enough for the bell to get rung.  This one is a very short match totally dominated by the World’s strongest man.  About 4 minutes into the match, a masked man comes to the ring and hits Abyss with a chair.  Abyss falls down and Mark Henry climbs to the top rope and hits a splash crushing Abyss.  The ref counts 1…2….3 and Mark Henry has just defeated Abyss in just 5 minutes to become the NEW North American Champion.  Henry looked around for that masked man expecting to see the Caped Crusader but it is a new person we’ve never seen before.  Hmm.

Match #2 is about to begin when Batista’s music hits.  The beast comes out and gets in the ring.  He is ready for action.  Next, the CSWA World Champion Undertaker comes out and makes his way to the ring.   There is a brief staredown just before the bell is rung.  Just then, Bray Wyatt comes out and he is not looking happy.  Undertaker sees him and starts to go after him but Batista chop blocks him and then hits a powerslam on the floor.  Batista drags him back in the ring and continues the beat down.  Every time Undertaker tried to get in some offense, Bray would be there to distract him.  This went on for 18 minutes until Undertaker finally got his hands on Bray, dragging him in the ring and hitting a chokeslam.  Bray rolled out just as Undertaker turned and got hit by a Batista Bomb.  Batista made the cover and got the 1.2.3.  He will go on to fight Bray Wyatt later this evening.

We cut to the back where the Elitist Reid Rothchild and Ravishing Raquel are being interviewed.  Reid begins “Rusev, you’ve run away all this time showing me the coward you are but now, the running stops.  I’ve got you in the ring and once we are done, I will still have my Elitist title and you, well, you’ll be sent home with your tail between your legs.”  Raquel then took the mic from him.  “Cactus Jackie, you have something of mine and I want it back.  I hope you got all that water out of your ears so you can hear me coming and I promise you, I will be walking out with my title.”  Both Reid and Raquel then left.

Match #3 is up next with the 6 Man tag team titles on the line.  The Champions, Wyatt’s Warriors comprised of Super Warrior, Centurion and Warrior of Truth are taking on the 719 Cartel’s own Mexicali Flyers and Rey Rey.  The champs controlled the match until at the 9 minute mark, El Dragon threw Super Warrior out of the ring.  The masked man we saw earlier comes back out.  He blasts Super Warrior with a chair and he ends up getting counted out.  The Cartel gets the win but does not win the titles.

A video package is then shown of all that has gone down between Brock Lesnar and Bobby Lashley to date.  It ended with a banner that read “It all ends in the Hell in a Cell…TONIGHT”

We cut over to Hogan’s office and sitting there with him are owners Jeff Meyers and Donnie B.  Hulk begins “I think there are just too many titles floating around.  There are 4 singles for each federation, 2 Women’s titles, the Undisputed title, the Elitist title and two different tag team belts.  That is just too much.”  Jeff Meyers asked “So what do you propose?”  Hogan scratched his chin and then said “The European and Internet Media titles are probably the “who gives a shit” titles we have so I’m thinking that those two titles get combined and one title…maybe bring back the hardcore title…would remain.”  Donnie B then asked “What are the parameters for this title?”  Hogan said “This belt would not be specific to one federation but would float between both.  The holder of the title, in similar fashion to the hardcore title of old, would be defended anywhere and potentially at any time but I don’t want it to be too much of a gimmicky belt.  I say put in a time frame – 10 am to 10 pm every day.  That would be the only time the belt would be defended.  Also, I don’t want the title changing hands every few seconds so the champion would not have to defend the title more than once in that time period.”  Donnie B and Jeff Meyers nodded.  Jeff spoke up next.  “That sounds like a really good plan.  However, this may be more hassle than it’s worth.  If at any time you feel that too much time and energy are being invested, then we need to consider something else.”  Donnie B spoke up next “I agree.  Hulk, keep up the good work.”  DB and Jeff left Hogan’s office. 

For Match #4, we head back to the ring for our Diva’s match between the champion Cactus Jackie and her challenger, the 1^st Diva Ravishing Raquel for the Diva’s title.  Jackie apparently did not forget Raquel knocking her into a pool so she charged at her challenger and the bell was quickly rung to start the match.  The match was pretty even for the first 11 minutes of the match and then Raquel, the DIVA of Prestige Inc., brought forth all her experience and knowledge and took over the fight.  Jackie tried as best she could but I think Raquel was just too determined.  This was one of the longest matches of the night going 28 minutes and the fans enjoyed each and every minute.  Towards the end, Jackie had Raquel in the middle of the ring locked in the Cactus Stretch but Raquel just wouldn't tap out. Jackie got extremely frustrated and started kicking the ropes.  Raquel got up and hit a power full nelson and put Jackie on her back.  She then signaled going to the top rope which got the audience on their feet.  A very weary Raquel manages to perfectly nail a moonsault.  She makes the cover 1…2….3!  Raquel has just regained the DIVA’S CHAMPIONSHIP in a very hard fought victory.  Jackie left the ring and Raquel celebrated with the fans.  She even spent a moment talking and taking selfies with Kaitlyn Quinn and P’Nut.  They were both ecstatic.   Raquel’s husband ‘The Elitist’ Reid Rothchild came out and with a big kiss, they went to the back all the while Raquel holding her new title high over her head.

We cut to another backstage segment with Abyss being questioned by Austin Aries and Antonio Cesaro about his loss.  Abyss said “I should have won had it not been for that masked person.  I promise I will find out who he is and will make him pay.”  Cesaro interjected “WE will make him pay.  WE are the A-Team; all for one and one for all.”  Aries nodded “Perfectly stated. Abyss, we will figure this out.  On another subject, I wanted to say that I’ve made an executive decision to bring in a 4^th member to our A-Team.  I’d like to introduce him here and now.”  Cesaro and Abyss move out of the way as…ADAM ROSE walks in.  “Austin, Abyss, Antonio, I am humbled by your including me into your group.  I promise to live up to the standards of the A-Team.  I will not let you down.”  All men shook hands congratulating Adam on his inclusion into wrestling’s #1 stable.

We go back to the ring for more action.  Match #5 is pitting the European Champion Jay Lethal against the Internet Media Champion Malo Leche de Mantequilla.  The winner of this match will be crowned the new HARDCORE champion.   This match is made a no countout/no DQ match.  Malo calls for the rest of the 719 Cartel to come out.  Rey Rey, the Mexicali Flyers and VamChango all come out and stand on stage.  Malo feels a surge of intestinal fortitude but that is quickly drained out of him by Lethal’s flurry of kicks.  Lethal dominated the 16 minute battle and then finished Malo off with the Lethal Combination.  Jay Lethal is now the NEW HARDCORE CHAMPION.  Lethal is handed the two titles and is told he will surrender them once the new Hardcore title is finished.  Malo hollers at the Cartel for not backing him up and he quits the Cartel.  He shoves his way to the back.

Match #6 is up with ‘The Elitist” Reid Rothchild defending his title against the Bulgarian Alexander Rusev.  Reid is accompanied to the ring by the new DIVA’s Champion Ravishing Raquel.  In a very surprising move, Rusev is accompanied to the ring by Cactus Jackie.  Huh…wonder what’s going on here.  Rusev calls Reid a coward who will run away when it suits him.  Rusev tells Reid if he wants to prove himself, they need to make this match a Russian Chain match.  Reid agreed.  As soon as both were chained together, they immediately went to battle. Reid was immediately overpowered by the sheer strength of Rusev.  Reid threw everything including a spinnarooni at the Bulgarian but it barely fazed him.  Jackie, holding a chain of her own attacks Raquel and knocks her out with the chain.  She then leaves the ring…her mission accomplished.  Rusev then went back and destroyed Reid.  At the 7 minute mark, he wrapped the chain around Reid’s neck and then threw him over the top rope.  Reid struggled but could not get himself free.  Rusev then dragged Reid back in the ring and laid him out in the center.  He then went to the top rope and nailed a kneedrop to Reid’s windpipe.  Rusev makes the cover and gets the 1-2-3.  Rusev kicks Reid out of the ring and celebrates with his newly won ELITIST TITLE.  Medical staff came out and helped both Reid and Raquel to the back on stretchers.

We cut to the back for a quick promo by El Dragon Insano.  El Dragon says he is glad Malo Leche de Mantequilla is gone from the Cartel.  He was nothing more than a leech on their team.  El Dragon says that Rey Rey gave him permission to make the following announcement.  With Malo gone, they have a new body to fill that role.  In walks the masked man we saw from earlier who attacked Abyss.  “His name is El Riche Pollo and he is the newest member of the 719 Cartel.”  Hulk Hogan walks over and asks who this guy is.  “Trust me Mr. Hogan, it is ok for him to be here.”  Hogan doesn't believe him and says he is going to ‘check his records’.

We are down to the first of our two main events.  Match #7 has Undisputed Heavyweight Champion Bray Wyatt taking on the HWF World Champ Batista.  This one is set up as a no DQ Brawl Games rules match.  For the first 7 minutes, Batista was in control.  After that, Bray just got pissed off.  For the following 9 minutes, he showed why he was the Undisputed Champion.  Bray got some outside interference from Centurion who came out to show support.  Bray then stood on Batista’s throat until he was practically out cold.  Bray makes the cover and gets the 3 count but Dave also has to beat a 10 count (last man standing).  Dave is not able to get up in time and Bray Wyatt retains his title in a killer 16 min fight.

The ring is cleared as the staff get ready for our second main event:  Match #8: Bobby Lashley vs Brock Lesnar in a Hell in a Cell.  The same video from yesterday is run showing the history between these two.  Both men enter the cell and just as the bell rings, it’s on.  To steal a phrase from Jim Ross, this was nothing short of a slobberknocker.  This was a 100% brawl; no wrestling here.  Brock hits an F-5 early on but Bobby kicks out.  Bobby nails a spinebuster but Brock easily kicks out.  This goes on for 21 minutes.  The first HOLY SHIT moment of the match is when Brock tried to throw Bobby off the cage (and to the table below) but Bobby reverses it and nails a spinebuster on the top of the cage.  DAMN.  Brock ends up battling back and knocks Bobby off the cage (he was hanging) and he falls and lands on the table breaking it.  Our second HOLY SHIT moment.  Brock climbs down and drags Bobby back into the ring.  Brock goes for an F-5 but Bobby reverses it and hits a Dominator.  He is too out of it though to go for a pin.  Brock nails 3 consecutive power clotheslines. He follows it up with a powerslam but he doesn't capitalize on it; instead he goes to the turnbuckle to showboat.  Bobby regains his composure and grabs Brock from the top turnbuckle and hits a Dominator for our third HOLY SHIT moment of the match.  A very weary Bobby Lashley crawls over and drapes his arm on Brock.  The ref counts 1….2…..3.  Bobby Lashley defeats Brock Lesnar in what is sure to be the match of the year.  Oh My God.  Bobby can barely stand and Brock rolls out of the ring; shoving away medical staff and walks to the back on his own.  Bobby Lashley remains in the ring celebrating as the cage is raised. 

That is all.  Thanks for watching and attending.  Our next PPV will be in October and will be Revenge: Day of Reckoning.  Stay tuned as there will be fallout from this show and the fabulous ride we are on will continue.

HWF/CSWA Wrestling Newsletter 2014 – 08.06 – Day 1 – Clash of the Champions PPV

Hello fans and welcome to Day 1 of our Clash of the Champions Pay Per View.  We are coming to you LIVE in front of a sold out Denver, Colorado audience.  Unbeknownst to most of us, the HWF and CSWA put it out there for some super fans to win free tickets to both days of the event.  Joining us is last year’s winner Superfan Derek but he is now joined by new superfans Kaitlyn Quinn, and a young woman who goes by just P’Nut HBIC.  Our 3 superfans seem to be enjoying themselves as they just got back from visiting with the wrestlers backstage and they are taking their seats.  Derek has his collection of signs (and there are a LOT of them).  Ms. Quinn and P’Nut are rocking out to the music blaring through the speakers.

Pyro goes off and the fans go ballistic.  Lights are flashing and then that all too familiar music hits (Jimi Hendrix) and out comes out GM Hulk Hogan (minus the meat shield).  “The Hulkster is in the house, brother…but so is the HWF and the CSWA.  Denver, Colorado…For the next two days, we are going to blow your socks off with championship matches galore.  We will even have a match for record books with Bobby Lashley and Brock Lesnar ending their feud in a Hell in the Cell.”  Hogan is getting a good pop and no one has started throwing anything at him…yet.  “I am a little disappointed in my CWO for the lack of representation but that will be addressed at a later time.  Everyone wrestling on the Clash of the Champions card will be expected to put on a show that will go down in history.  Oh, and because of how full the cards are, the championship will be a winner takes all…no rematch.  All champions better be here to retain and challengers better be fighting as this was their last night on this earth.  I will not accept anything less than 100% and you fans don’t deserve any less.  BUT…you are Denver, Colorado; armpit of the mountain range.”  The cheering immediately died down and the fans (yes, every single one of them) became enraged.  Almost on cue, Hogan’s meat shield came out just as the debris started flying.  “Oh settle down.  You know it as well as I or maybe the thin air here has just killed off brain cells.”  He paused a moment.  “Forget it.  You all aren’t worth it.  Time for the show to begin.”  Hogan walks to the back protected by the meat shield.

The GM makes his way to the back and runs into the European Champion Centurion.  “Watch where you’re going, brother.  This is my yard and you are just a part time guest.”  Centurion looks Hogan in the face and says “You can address me as the European Champion as well as 1/3 holder of the 6 man tag team titles.”  “No” Hogan interjects. “What you are is next.  Get your ass to the ring, brother.”  Hogan stares him down and Centurion makes his way to the ring.

Match #1 is European Champion Centurion taking on Jay Lethal in a rematch for the title.  Hogan has mandated that all title defenses will be winner takes all; no rematches.  The Jay Lethal of old is on the scene dressed in his Macho Man getup.  Lethal takes Centurion to school and dominates the champ.  Lethal nails a springboard dropkick that seems to have knocked out Centurion.  Jay then goes to the top rope and nails the Macho Man elbow drop and covers Centurion in the middle of the ring.  1…2….3 and we have a winner and NEW European Champion – Jay Lethal.  Centurion makes his way back with his head hanging in shame.  Lethal celebrates with the fans before he eventually makes his way back.

Match #2 has Prestige Inc member and Internet Media Champion Magnus taking on the 719 Cartel’s Malo Leche de Mantequilla.  The match started off…well, off.  Magnus and Malo were on the outside of the ring within 30 seconds and Malo rammed Magnus’ back into the steel post.  After bringing him back in the ring, Malo turned up the heat…but not the Cartel way…his own.  I wonder if when he trained with Nick Diaz (learning to ‘keep it real’), he took it too far.  Not in a very nice fashion, Malo went to town on the champ.  Magnus never recovered from the post shot he took and in 6:55, Malo nails a snap Suplex and with his feet on the ropes, he gets the 1-2-3.  Another title has just changed hands with Malo Leche de Mantequilla winning the Internet Media title.  Magnus tried to inquire ‘what’s up with that?’ and Malo clocked him one .   Malo grabbed his title and left to the booing from the fans.  He flipped them off all the while flaunting his newly acquired title.

We cut to the back where we see Centurion, flanked by the rest of Wyatt’s Warriors, approach Hogan.  “I don’t know what your malfunction is but you just cost me my title old man.  I demand a rematch.”  Hogan looked at him funny.  “You demand what?  You are nothing.  You and your warrior team are nothing.  The only thing that matters here is Hulk Hogan and what I can and will do in the HWF and CSWA.  If you don’t like it, brother, there is the door.  Don’t let it hit you in the ass on your way out.”  Hogan then closed his office door in the Warrior’s faces.  Centurion looked to his teammates “This isn’t over.”  They all then walked away.

As we go back to the ring for Match #3, before the match can begin, the 60’s Batman music hits and out comes the Caped Crusader.  He is smiling and waving to the fans who cheer him on as he makes his way into the ring .  He is dressed in full Adam West Batman attire and does some running around the ring, bouncing off the ropes and (not sure why) dropkicking the air.  Once he settles down, he grabs a mic.

“Holy awesome pay per view, Denver (cheap pop).  I was brought in to the HWF and CSWA to be the Enforcer of good sportsmanship.  I have been in this federation for 9 weeks and I have seen nothing but cheating and poor sportsmanship by no less than 50% of the wrestlers.  Well, enough is enough!  From here on out, if you insist on tainting our sport with your cheating ways, you had better watch your back, for the Caped Crusader has his eyes on you and will find a way to bring you to justice.”

“And speaking of justice: Mark Henry, you knocked over my ambulance a month ago, with me still in it.  Remember that?  Well, my friend, I believe that act is a crime in the state of Louisiana as well as the city of New Orleans.  My good friend Commissioner Gordon with the New Orleans PD will soon be servicing you with an arrest warrant.”

“Oh, and Mr. Hogan?  Holy switcheroos.  I see how you like to change the rules and the scheduling of matches on a moment's notice, as it suits your whims.  This is not right, sir, and this crapola never happened while Donnie B. was at the helm.  You too, sir, are on notice...”

The Caped Crusader drops the mic, climbs to the top rope, and does an impressive (but pointless) high flying body press onto the mat below before raising his arms triumphantly and exiting the ring much to the delight of the Denver crowd. 

We cut back to the ring for our 3^rd match which has X-Division Champion Casey Jones taking on Shield member Roman Reigns.  Right from the get-go, Reigns beat the holy Hell out of Casey.  Jones could not get much in the way of any offense for the entire match.  Reigns started to get a bit frustrated and his Shield teammates Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins came down to the ring.  They could see that Reigns was having issues getting the job done so they did what they do best…interfere.  Ambrose and Rollins jumped in the ring and attacked Roman Reigns!!!  What??? The Shield just imploded with Rollins and Ambrose taking out their former tag team partner.  Casey Jones ends up being disqualified but the title doesn’t change hands on a DQ.  He quickly left the ring as not to have any of the Shield’s anger directed towards him.  Ambrose and Rollins double powerbomb Reigns and then spike piledrive him.  Rollins and Ambrose raise their arms in victory as Roman Reigns is attended to by the ringside doctor.

We cut to the back where the Caped Crusader is approached by Hulk Hogan.  “Listen here little man, you better not do anything to disrupt MY federation.  This is MY show, brother, and I won’t have you stirring the pot.  For the sake of everyone, you have the night off.  In fact, don’t show up here tomorrow either.  I don’t want you jeopardizing what I feel is best for business so take off, eh…BROTHER.”  Hogan walks away and Caped Crusader, bag in hand, leaves the arena.

 Match #4 on our sizzling PPV is up next with the Women’s World Champion Gail Kim (who’s been undefeated as champion since winning the title) takes on Velvet Sky.  Sky is in the ring waiting for the champ who takes her sweet time to walk to the ring.  Gail had control for about the first 3 minutes and then it was all Velvet.  The fans were chanting “This is great” throughout the match as both women gave it their all.  Velvet really took the match to Gail who was just not prepared for the onslaught her opponent brought with her.  In what is probably one of the best matches of the night, Velvet Sky nails the Beauty Mark in 17 minutes and rolls Gail up for the 1-2-3.  Velvet Sky has just won the Women’s Title.  The fans are straining from the rafters and the applause for Velvet is almost deafening.  Gail left the ring to let the new champ celebrate with her title.

With the start of Match #5, we are half way through Day 1 of the Clash.  The second half of the show starts off with Intercontinental Champion Dolph Ziggler taking on Ryback.  This was supposed to be the Miz fighting but Ryback dispensed with Miz pretty easily to win this shot.   Ryback may have had it easy with the Miz but it was quite the opposite with the IC champ.  Dolph never let Ryback get much in the way of offense in.  At one point, the Miz came in through the crowd shielding himself from the in-ring participants and the ref.  After Ryback hit the Meathook, he went for a pin but Dolph had his foot on the ropes.  The ref sends Ryback to the other corner and Miz nails him with a chair.  Dolph recovers enough and without realizing what happened, he hits a german Suplex and gets the 1-2-3 in 18 minutes.  As Dolph is celebrating in the ring, Miz jumps in and hits him with the same chair he used to take out Ryback.  Dolph collapses and Miz picks up the title and stands on the turnbuckles showing off.  The fans boo him but he could care less.  He ends up dropping the title on Dolph before leaving.

We cut to the back where we see Roman Reigns getting stitched up after the attack by his former teammates.  Reigns is VERY PISSED OFF and all he does is stare at the camera as the doctors clean him up.

Match #6 is next with the Tag Team Champions and members of the 719 Cartel VamChango (comprised of Senor Vampiro and El Chango) take on the re-formed Dudley Boys.  Bully Ray is now back to his original name Bubba Ray.  This was one of the shortest matches of the night as it only went 5 minutes.  For 4 of those minutes, all 4 men were in the ring and the ref couldn’t get control.  Bubba ends up going to the outside to set up a table.  He crawls back in and Devon is getting ready to throw Senor Vampiro out of the ring and onto the table.  El Chango ends up knocking down Devon and Bubba Ray was charging and after pulling down the top rope, Bubba goes sailing over the top and through the table.  Bubba ends up getting counted out.  VamChango retain their titles.

Because the tag team match was so short, Hogan told Daniels and Styles to head to the ring for their match.

Match #7 has Christopher Daniels defending the US title against AJ Styles.  This one had MATCH of the Night written all over it.  Daniels and Styles battled in the ring and out of the ring.  The champ had this one locked up for the first 15 minutes of the match and then after being on the receiving end of a Pele kick, the tide turned to the challenger.  AJ battled like a fresh new man and took the fight to his former friend/partner.  AJ nails Daniels with a flying dropkick and then catches the disoriented champ with a  gut buster followed by a roll up.  He gets the 1-2-2 and AJ Styles gets the win and is the NEW US CHAMPION.

Match #8 begins with Batista making his way to the ring.  He is then followed by the HWF World Champion (and holder of the Undisputed Heavyweight title) Bray Wyatt.  Wyatt is accompanied to the ring by Wyatt’s Warriors minus the Undead Warrior (who was preparing for his match next).  Bray gets in the ring and reminds Batista that all of his World title matches are specialty and this one will be Colorado (cheap pop) Death Match.  Dave shrugs his shoulders and attacks the champ.  Bray held his own but so did the challenger.  Dave used strength to counter the chaos brought in by Bray.  The match goes for 13 minutes and Bray nails the Sister Abigail.  Dave bounces up immediately and  nails an Enforcer Spinebuster.  He makes the cover and gets the 3 count.  Batista has just defeated Bray Wyatt to become the NEW HWF WORLD CHAMPION.  Wyatt’s Warriors all hit the ring to come to the aid of their leader and Batista takes each and every one of them out.  Dave stands tall to the cheering from the fans.  Congratulations Dave!!!

In the back, just as he was preparing to head to the ring, Bray approaches the Undead Warrior.  “Where were you?  The Warriors are supposed to stand in force and you left us all hanging.  Once this evening is over my friend, we will need to have a conversation.  Remember who you are.”  Bray walked away as Undead Warrior shrugged and continued to stretch.

Hulk Hogan comes out and tells the fans the main event is up next with Undead Warrior and Jeff Hardy battling it out to see who will become the new CSWA World Champion.  Hogan practically promises us that it won’t be the Undead Warrior (he’d better not cheat or else).  Also, because a new HWF World Champion was crowned, a new match is being added to tomorrow’s show that will pit the HWF vs the CSWA World Champion and the winner will go on to meet Bray Wyatt for the Undisputed Heavyweight title.

Match #9 – Our Main Event – is here with the Undead Warrior taking on Jeff Hardy with the winner getting the CSWA World title.  Both men make it to the ring but before the match can begin, we hear Hogan’s voice on the loudspeaker “Before the match can begin, brother, we need a top caliber referee who will call this right down the middle.  He is on his way out now.”

‘Voodoo Child’ hits and out walks the GM in a sleeveless referee shirt.  Fans are confused but no one is throwing anything at him…yet.  Hogan climbs in the ring and on mic, tells us that this match will be a no countout/no DQ match.  “Ring the bell, brother.”

The Undead Warrior was unstoppable. This was like the Undertaker from 20 years ago.  No matter what Jeff Hardy tried to throw at him, nothing would work; not the Twist of Fate, the Swanton, nothing.  Jeff even hit ‘the Enigma’ but Undead would not stay down.  UW glanced at Hogan about 10 minutes in and what he saw took him aback.  He saw Paul Bearer standing there saying “Remember who you are Undertaker.  You have this.  Take what is rightfully yours.”  Undead Warrior had eaten a nasty dropkick from Jeff Hardy when Hogan came over and “Do you know who you are?  Do you know where you are?”  Undead Warrior sat up and beat the stupid body paint off of Jeff.  At the 19 minute mark, Undead Warrior hit the ‘Last Ride’ and made the cover.  Hogan came over and….counted….at normal speed.  1…2…3.   The Undead Warrior has just won/regained the CSWA World Title.  Hogan hands the belt to Undead Warrior and the fans explode.  Undead Warrior turns to Hogan and after a brief staredown, Hogan extends his hand and Undead Warrior accepts it.  The fans erupt even louder until over the loudspeaker we hear “Hold on, hold on a second.”  Out comes Undisputed Champion Bray Wyatt.  “Just what the Hell do you think you’re doing, Undead Warrior?  Are you trying to upstage me?  ME?  I’m the F(bleep)ing Undisputed Champion.  You don’t show me up.  I OWN you.”  Undead Warrior yanks the mic out of Bray’s hand.  “No, not anymore.”  He then drags his thumb across his throat and Bray shoves a finger in his face.   Undead Warrior peppers Bray with lefts and rights and the throws him to the ropes where Bray, after bouncing off the ropes, eats a big foot to the face.  Undead Warrior picks up Bray Wyatt and hits the Last Ride followed up by a tombstone piledriver.  Bray is out cold.  “The Undead Warrior is gone and here stands the one and only UNDERTAKER!  Bray Wyatt, you will Rest…In…Peace.”  Wyatt’s Warriors all hit the ring to attack Undertaker but he disposes of each and every one of them in quick, clean fashion.  The show ends with Undertaker celebrating with his title in the ring.

Wow, that was a hell of a show.  Stay tuned as Part 2 will be up tomorrow.  

HWF/CSWA Wrestling Newsletter 2014 – 08.05 – The leadup to the Clash

Hello fans and welcome back to our newsletter.  Today’s issue, leading up to this weekend’s PPV is coming live from the home of the CSWA – Colorado Springs, CO.  The show begins with a vignette showing all the highlights of the CSWA over the past 9 years which all began in 2005 (go to the archive section to read all the past stories @ http://hwfcswafantasy.blogspot.com) which was headlined by the first ever CSWA World Champion Mohammed Hassan (who also became a triple crown winner holding the HWF World title and the Undisputed Heavyweight title after defeating Chris Benoit).  The scene that got the most applause from the crowd was the acknowledgement by the Undertaker that MW3 was truly a worthy opponent.    The crowd was reminded that there would be a weeklong fanfest celebrating the HWF and CSWA throughout Denver and Colorado Springs and that wrestlers from both brands would be making appearances throughout both cities.

After the vignette finished, out came GM Hulk Hogan with his meat shield.  “This place is a cesspool and you think I’m not going to be prepared for the STINK of this place?”  That got all the people riled up and the meat shield did their job of protecting the GM from the flying clutter.  “Before I leave” Hogan continued “I’m doing you all a favor in giving you matches to watch so sit your asses down and enjoy.”  Hogan left the stage as the amount of flying debris increased and the meat shield was losing its effectiveness.

The first match on the card is between two of our more recent acquisitions Kenta taking on Sami Zayn.  Kenta controlled the entire match but Sami would not get pinned.  The match goes on for 25 minutes with Kenta eventually catching Zayn with a Death Valley Driver and rolled him up for the pin.  Both men got a standing ovation from the crowd.

A quick cut to the back with newly crowned North American Champion and the enforcer of the A-Team Abyss is standing there.  Mark Henry walks up to him and says that Abyss still needs an opponent for the Clash and the World’s Strongest Man is filling that spot – whether Abyss likes it or not.  Henry then walks away before Abyss can get a word in at all. 

Next on the card is Ethan Carter III taking on Heath Slater.  Slater kept jumping out of the ring looking to get himself counted out.  Rockstar Spud came from the back and forced Slater back in the ring.  ECIII nails a belly to back Suplex and is able to get the 1-2-3.  After the match, ECIII and Spud shook hands and left together.  Slater sulked out of the ring; not really noticed by anyone that he had left. (15 min)

Next up is Stardust (formerly known as Cody Rhodes) taking on Zack Ryder.  In 17 minutes and in dominating fashion, Ryder nails a Russian leg sweep and gets the pin.  Good solid win for Ryder.  Hopefully we’ll see him in the title picture again soon.

We cut to the back where we see another newcomer Conan Jones.  Jones is disappointed he’s not on the Clash card when another wrestler walks up to him.  “I’m a champion and I’m not on the card.  In fact, I won my GOLD MEDAL with a broken freakin’ neck.  You don’t see my whining and crying but if you want a match here, I’ll partake.  See you in the ring.  WOOOOO.”  Conan Jones didn’t know what to do other than stand there and go “ummmmm”. 

More newbies take to the ring as Sanada takes on Adam Rose.  Both men gave this their all and even though Sanada controlled the match later on, Rose would not give up.  The 30 minute bell rang signaling the end of the match.  Both men shook hands much to the delight of the fans.

After months of trying to chase him down, Psycho Jack Hercules finally gets Bo Dallas in the ring for one on one competition.  We expected Psycho Jack to do all the cheating but in fact, it was Bo who did.  After what should have been an illegal chop to the throat, Bo nails a double underhook facebuster and at the 16 minute mark, gets the win.  Jack had to be helped up afterwards.

Conan Jones makes his way reluctantly to the ring for his match against Olympic Gold Medalist Kurt Angle.  This one went a surprising 14 minutes with Conan refusing to lay down for Angle.  Finally, Kurt got frustrated and choked him in the corner.  He then rolled him up in a small package and got the pin.  This is Conan’s first loss since coming in to the HWF and CSWA but really, can anyone blame him for losing to an Olympic Gold Medalist?

We cut to the back where Wyatt’s Warriors member and co-holder of the 6 man tag team titles the Super Warrior was being interviewed.  He was asked about former superstar Alberto Del Rio’s abrupt departure from the federation.  SW says that he did have issues with ADR and that he is glad he is gone but wishes he was the one to send him packing.  Oh well.

Our main event is Ryback taking on the Miz with the winner going to the Clash to meet IC champion Dolph Ziggler.  The Miz controlled the first 12 minutes of the match (due to extreme cheating, of course) but after that, IC champ Dolph Ziggler came out.  The Miz was distracted.  As the ref questioned Dolph for his sudden appearance, in from the crowd comes the Caped Crusader.  He nails Miz with the Wam!Bam!Pow! punch and then quickly departs.   Ryback shakes off the cobwebs and hits a diving headbutt followed up by a powerslam.  Ryback gets the 1-2-3 and secures himself a spot at the Clash. 

The PPV has been finalized and here is how the card is set:

Day 1

X-Division Champ Casey Jones vs Roman Reigns

HWF/CSWA Wrestling Newsletter 2014 – 08.04

Hello fans and welcome back to our newsletter where we are reporting from the show taped in front of a sold out audience in Ft Collins, CO.  We were told that the Clash of the Champions PPV next weekend is officially sold out.  Hulk Hogan comes out with his meat shield (just in case).  “The Hulkster is in the house, brother.  I've got the Clash of the Champions card packed with two days of solid action.  We do have some loose ends to tie up brother so we need to get this show underway.”  Pyro goes off as we get ready for our first match.

The first match of the night is the Caped Crusader taking on Kevin Steen.  The match goes 23 minutes and surprisingly, the Caped Crusader was on the offensive for the entire match.  Not sure why Steen looked so bad in his match.  The Caped Crusader gets the win after nailing a flying headscissors takedown.

#1 seed Alberto Del Rio takes on #4 seed the Undead Warrior.  UW is accompanied to the ring by the HWF and Undisputed Heavyweight Champion Bray Wyatt.  Wyatt gets in the ring and reveals he’s the special guest referee for this match.  Del Rio doesn’t get a word in at all.  Undead Warrior beats Del Rio from pillar to post and in 5 short minutes, finishes him off with a tombstone piledriver.  Undead Warrior moves on.

Next up is the #2 vs the #3 seed with Jeff Hardy taking on CWO member Dirk “the Pick” Devon.  This one goes 11 minutes and sees Devon have his worst outing since entering the tournament.  Jeff Hardy finished Dirk off after nailing a swanton bomb.   Undead Warrior vs Jeff Hardy will be at the Clash with the winner becoming the CSWA World Champion.

In the back, Mark Henry is challenged for his title shot by Abyss.  Mark Henry agrees and the two head to the ring. Abyss managed to counter the awesome strength of Henry with his own high impact moves.  Henry, of course, was cheating throughout the match.  At the 14 minute mark, the Caped Crusader made his presence known and that distracted Henry just enough for Abyss to nail a Blackhole slam and pick up the win.  Abyss immedialy calls out Alberto Del Rio telling him he doesn’t want to wait until the PPV.  Del Rio doesn’t come out but GM Hulk Hogan does.  Hogan gets on the mic and tells Del Rio to grow a pair.  He is a representative of the CWO and a member of the A-Team.  Del Rio makes his way out.  Hogan tells him to get in the ring.  Hogan says that since Del Rio was being cowardly, his title, status in the CWO, status in the A-team and his job are all on the line.  Alberto gets in Hogan’s face which doesn’t sit well with the GM.  “Get your ass in the ring” Hogan tell him.  Alberto makes his way to the ring.  Hogan announces that this match will be a Thumbtack Deathmatch. 

As Alberto gets into the ring, fellow A-Team members Austin ‘the Man’ Aries and Antonio Cesaro comes down to ringside.  The match is set up as no DQ as part of the deathmatch.  For the first 14 minutes of the match, Del Rio controlled the tempo even though his fellow teammates opted not to get involved which struck Alberto as strange.  Abyss was then able to hit multiple chokeslams on Alberto which put him on the defensive.  At the 18 minute mark, Abyss throws thumbtacks at Alberto covering him in them.  He hollered in pain.  Abyss then hit a Blackhole Slam and made the cover.  1, 2, 3 and we have a brand new North American Champion, member of the CWO and newest member of the A-Team – the Enforcer Abyss.

Alberto Del Rio is escorted out of the ring by security where he walks up to Aries and slaps him in the face.  Aries and Antonio Cesaro beat him down and Abyss nails another Blackhole slam on the floor.  Security pick up Del Rio and drag him to the back where he is shown the door and has it slammed on him (actually hit him on the way out.)

Next on the card is Bobby Lashley taking on Samoa Joe.  This one went 16 minutes and both men were evenly matched up.  At the 14 minute mark, Bobby hit Joe with a Dominator on the floor and Joe never really recovered from that.  Bobby brought him back in the ring and then 2 minutes later, hits another Dominator for the win.  That win is short lived however as Brock Lesnar rushes the ring and attacks Bobby.  Both men brawl until Hogan comes out again.  He tells both men he’s had enough and this needs to end.  Even though neither man hold a title, they will have a match at the Clash and it will be in a Hell in a Cell.  The fight again briefly before they are finally split up.

In the back, we see the 6-man tag team champions Wyatt’s Warriors (Centurion who is also holding his newly acquired singles title, Warrior of Truth and the Super Warrior).  Super Warrior says that a gauntlet was thrown down by the 719 Cartel members Mexicali Flyers and Rey Rey wanting a title shot.  SW says he respects them enough to give them that shot.  The Warrior of Truth speaks up and says that the Truth will set everyone free and that is Wyatt’s Warriors will be walking out with their titles intact.  Centurion leans over and says “Yeah, what he said.”

Tajiri makes his way to the ring for his first match since returning and out comes Malo Leche de Mantequilla.  Malo says that it should be he getting the title shot, not some Japanese jumping bean.  The stipulation is added and if Malo can pull off a win, he will go to the Clash to meet Magnus for the Internet Media title.  In 14 minutes of high flying action, Malo catches Tajiri with a snap suplex and with his feet on the ropes (yeah, he’s a cheater), he gets the 1-2-3.  Malo just earned himself a match at the Clash.  Tajiri was not happy.

The main event of the evening is Ryback taking on Sheamus.  Good Gravy…Ryback totally dominated the Irishman.  For 17 minutes, Ryback beat Sheamus from pillar to post (score was 171 to 72) and finally and mercifully, ended the match with a  powerslam.  Ryback wins the match and immediately challenges the Miz for his title shot at the Clash.  Miz comes out and jokes about how he is above ‘Cryback’ and isn’t going to stoop so low to fight him.  GM Hulk Hogan comes out again and tells the Miz that he was practically handed his Clash match so now he needs to earn it. At the next show, it will be Ryback vs the Miz with the winner meeting Dolph Ziggler for the Intercontinental title. 

That’s all for now.  We have a couple more postings coming before next weekend’s PPV.  Stay tuned.

HWF/CSWA Wrestling Newsletter 2014 – 08.03

Hello fans and welcome back to our newsletter.  Today’s show comes to you from St. Louis, MO.  There was such a huge mess after the KC show that it took the cleaning crew an extra 4 hours to clean up after Centurion’s win.  We’re happy for him but really, 4 hours to clean up after him?  Really?

Today’s show begins with Bray Wyatt and Wyatt’s Warriors making their way down to the ring.  The newly crowned European Champion Centurion is beaming.  6 man tag team champions Warrior of Truth, Super Warrior and Centurion say they will take on all challengers.  Hulk Hogan comes out and tells Centurion that he is in possession of two titles and he will be required to defend both the 6 man and European titles.  Hogan tells them their opponents will be the Mexicali Flyers and Rey Rey.  The Undead Warrior promises that he will win tonight’s battle and then go on to win back his title at the Clash.  Bray Wyatt steps up and tells Batista that the “dark side” is beaconing.  He will be the newest member of Wyatt’s Warriors whether Batista likes it or not.  This brings out Batista who runs down to the ring and attacks Bray but Wyatt’s Warriors squash him before he can do much damage.  Bray hits the Sister Abigail on Dave and Bray stands tall.  Wyatt’s Warriors all leave the ring.

Our first match is a mini tournament to see who will go to the Clash to meet Gail Kim for the Women’s title.   The mini tournament consisted of ODB, Natalya Neidhart, Layla El and Velvet Sky.   Velvet eliminates ODB; Layla eliminates Natalya.  Velvet and Layla then had a standard match which saw the former champion Layla El take the fight to Velvet.  About 25 minutes into the match, the Women’s champion Gail Kim came down and talked smack to Layla.  Velvet took advantage of the distraction to nail a reverse bulldog and roll up Layla for the pin.  Velvet Sky will be going on to meet Gail Kim at the PPV.

We cut to a vignette of Cactus Jackie hanging out at a pool but she is all dressed up.  “When you’re the Diva’s champion, you always have to look your best.  That is why, even at poolside, I am all class.  No one can touch the awesomeness that I exude.  None of the other women in the HWF or CSWA can hold a candle to me.  I am the greatest champion to ever set foot in the ring.”  While this is going on, Ravishing Raquel sneaks up behind Jackie and kicks her squarely in the butt sending her flailing into the water.  Raquel smiles and says “See you at the Clash, bitch.”  Jackie is spitting water and is furious.  As the camera fades out, a kid throws her a baseball and in makes a big splash right next to her further exasperating her mood.

The first of our qualifying matches puts the Undead Warrior vs the A-Team’s Antonio Cesaro.  Cesaro is beating the tar out of the Undead Warrior until Bray Wyatt came out.  Undead warrior sees him and is filled with inspiration.  He then sends Cesaro to the outside where he tombstone piledrives him on the floor. Antonio is out cold.  Undead Warrior rolls back in and wins and advances via CO.

Next on the card  is A-Team member and North American Champion Alberto Del Rio vs King Damian Sandow for the title.  Cesaro limps back out along with Austin Aries.  Sandow is looking for the rest of Prestige Inc but they are nowhere to be found.  The A-Team triple team Sandow and 7 minutes later, Del Rio gets the win.   We cut to the back and we see Reid and Magnus break through a door (they presumably were locked in) and rush to the ring.  Reid and Magnus rush down to the ring and the A-Team bails.  Prestige Inc challenges the A-team to a match but A-team does not yet accept.  We’ll need to see what transpires next.

In the back, Alberto Del Rio runs into the World’s Strongest Man Mark Henry and Henry tells Del Rio to watch where he’s going.  Del Rio doesn’t like Henry’s tone so he tells him to back off before he (Alberto) does something to Henry that he (Henry) won’t like.  Henry challenges him for the title at Clash and tells Alberto to put his mouth where his title is.

Next up is AJ styles vs Curtis Axel to see who meets Christopher Daniels for the US Title.  In just 4 short minutes, Axel, tired of getting his ass handed to him, walks out of the match resulting in a count out.  AJ is going to the Clash.

Following this is the next qualifying match with John Cena taking on the Axe. Cena totally underestimated his opponent and Axe took advantage of it.  After an exhausting 8 minutes, Axe nails Cena with ‘the Axe’ and gets the 1-2-3.  Axe is advancing and will meet the Undead Warrior in the main event.

The Internet Media Champion and Prestige Inc member Magnus comes out and calls out Tajiri.  Tajiri runs in from the crowd and attacks Magnus briefly before running away.  Magnus recovers and challenges him to a match at the PPV.  Tajiri accepts.

Our second to last match is the Mexicali Flyers vs the Dudley Boys for a shot at the tag team titles at the PPV.  In just 7 minutes, the Dudley’s get the gin after Tornado en Fuego goes flying over the top rope and crashes hard on the floor resulting in a countout.  The Dudley Boys will be meeting VamChango for the World Tag Team titles.

In the main event, the Undead Warrior took on the Axe.  Unbeknownst to the Undead Warrior, Bray Wyatt mad his way down to the ring.  When Undead Warrior finally realized someone was there, he looked up but what he saw made his eyes go wide.  He was looking at…Paul Bearer (RIP)!  What the hell?  ‘Paul’ leans over and says “Remember who you are…remember who you are.”  Undead Warrior shakes his head and there is Bray Wyatt yelling “Remember who you are, Undead Warrior.  Get the job done.”  In 12 minutes, Undead Warrior gets the win after hitting the Last Ride.  Axe went toe to toe with UW from the beginning of the match but then ran out of gas (apparently his win over Cena exhausted him).  Undead Warrior is going to the semi-finals for the CSWA World Title.  At our next show, we will have the #1 Seed Alberto Del Rio taking on the #4 seed Undead Warrior and the #2 seed Jeff Hardy taking on #3 seed Dirk ‘the Pick’ Devon.

That is all for now.  Stay tuned as the Clash will be here before you know it.

HWF/CSWA Wrestling Newsletter 2014 – 08.02

Hello fans and welcome back to our newsletter. Today’s show comes to you LIVE from Kansas City, MO – the home of Master Bull/Centurion.  Before the show can begin, we see Centurion (who gets a huge pop from the KC crowd) approach Hogan’s office.  He walks in without being invited in.  Centurion tells Hogan that this is HIS town and HE is performing in the main event so Hogan had best find him an opponent.  Hogan tells Centurion that he is in luck.  “It just so happens, brother that the European title held by Jay Lethal needs to be defended.  You and he can have a match and the winner gets the title.  Good luck, Brother.”  Centurion furrows his brow at Hogan wondering what he is up to but just nods and walks out.   Hogan then picks up the phone and closes the door on the cameraman. 

The first match of the night is CWO member Dirk “the Pick” Devon taking on the monster Abyss.  Dirk was accompanied by his partner The Axe.  At first Dirk didn’t want to get in the ring with him but relented after a pep talk from the Axe.  In a very surprising move, Dirk owned Abyss.  He never let the monster get much in for offense.  Right about the 13 minute mark, Dirk went to talk to Axe and it looked like something was slipped into Dirk’s elbow pad.  Dirk then charged and nailed a clothesline and Abyss looked to be out cold.  Dirk made the cover and got the win.  Dirk moves on in the tournament.

Next on the card is the second tournament match with AJ Styles taking on Daniel Bryan.  In a very surprising match, this one only goes 5 minutes with Daniel Bryan getting the win after nailing a missile dropkick.  The final between Bryan and Dirk Devon will be later in the show.

Next on the card is our tag team match that is a tables match with the Dudleys taking on RVD and Ryback.  Hogan said that the winner of this match will be in line for a tag team title shot.  Before the match could begin, Bubba got on the mic and said that the specialty type has changed slightly and now this is an ECW rules match.  Rob smiled but Ryback looked worried.

Rob and Ryback owned the Dudleys until the final moments of the match.  A quick tag out to Rob and as he was going for the 5 star frog splash, Devon and Bubba nailed a 3D through a table.  Devon takes out Ryback and Bubba makes the cover and gets the pin.  The Dudleys are now contenders for the Tag team titles held by VamChango and that they will take their match at Clash of the Champions.  This brought out the #1 contenders the Mexicali Flyers.  The Flyers said that they should in fact be getting the match at the clash but issue a challenge to the Dudleys.  If the Flyers win, they get the title shot and if the Dudley’s win, they do.  Both parties agreed and shook hands.

Next on the card is Shield member Roman Reigns vs Captain Charisma Christian.  In a very dominating performance, Reigns took the match to the former champion and in 11 minutes, gets the win after hitting a powerbomb.  I would be very surprised if Reigns wasn’t going after a title very soon.

Dirk and Daniel Bryan come out next for their match.  Dirk tried to complain to the ref about fighting so soon and not getting enough rest but the ref shoved him and told him to man up.  Dirk did, in fact, man up as he totally dominated Daniel Bryan but try as he could, he could not pin Daniel.  The match was closing in on the 30 minute time limit and Dirk was running out of steam.  The clock on the wall started counting down the remaining seconds and Dirk, in a desperate act, caught Bryan in a Tama Bearhug and lowered the shoulders to the mat.  The ref makes the count and with only seconds to spare, Dirk Devon gets the win.  The Axe comes out to celebrate with his partner and they leave with Dirk’s arms raised in victory.

In the back, Hogan stops Roman Reigns and congratulates him on such a great performance.  “For that, brother, I think you should get a title shot.  In fact, I think you are the perfect opponent for X-Division Champion Casey Jones.  At the Clash, you get a shot at gold.”  Reigns nodded his thanks and left.

The main event of the evening is home town hero Centurion taking on Jay Lethal for the European title.  Hogan came out and said that this would have a 60 minute time limit and the no count out rule would be in effect.   Before the match could begin, HWF and Undisputed Champion Bray Wyatt came out accompanied by the Warrior of Truth and the Super Warrior.  Centurion, filled with the energy of the KC crowd and well as the Roman Warriors of the past, took the match to the champ and blew the roof off the house.  Lethal had no idea how to stop him.  Towards the end, Lethal nails a double axe handle smash but then gets dumped out of the ring.  Had there been the countout rule in place, Lethal would have been counted out.  Instead, he used the extra time to gather his bearings and climbed to the top turnbuckle to execute the flying elbow smash.  He waited a second too long as Centurion popped up and nailed a one-arm chokeslam and PINNED the champ.  HOLY CRAP – Centurion just won the European Title.  Bray and the Warriors got in the ring with Centurion and they all celebrated as balloons and confetti fell from the ceiling.

That’s all for now.  As we continue to ramp up to the PPV, things are sure to get more exciting.  Stay Tuned.

HWF/CSWA Wrestling Newsletter 2014 – 08.01

Hello fans and welcome back to our newsletter.  Today we come to you from Wichita, KS.  Our next PPPV, Clash of the Champions, will be coming to you live from Denver, CO.  Hulk Hogan makes his appearance and lets everyone know that every person with a title will be defending it at the PPV as well as the crowning of the new CSWA champion.  In action today, Reid Rothchild is defending the Elitist title, VamChango are defending the tag team titles, Diva’s champion Cactus Jackie will be on hand for an interview and we have the next batch of qualifiers for the CSWA World title tournament.

The first match of the night is for the Tag Team titles with the champions, representatives of the 719 Cartel VamChango taking on Team HP consisting of Bran-Don-Goh and Casey Jones.  This one goes 26 minutes and sees a great performance from both teams.  In the end, El Chango nails Casey Jones with a spear and makes the cover.  VamChango retain the titles.

Next up is our first in the qualifying matches with “the Man” Austin Aries taking on Chris Jericho.  This one doesn’t go very long after Aries, who was accompanied by the A-Team, sent his partners to the back.  Jericho managed to lock Aries in the Walls of Jericho and got “the Man” to tap out in 3 minutes.  Chris Jericho advances.

In the back, Diva’s Champion Cactus Jackie is being interviewed and she, of course, is slamming the previous champion Ravishing Raquel.  Raquel walks up and tells Jackie to put up or shut up.  She is challenging Jackie to a match at Clash of the Champions.  Jackie, on the spot and not wanting to look weak, accepts.  As Raquel is leaving, Jackie attacks her and locks her in the Cactus Stretch.  Eventually she lets go.  “You want to call me out, bitch?  Fine, now you get to experience what it feels like to continue to be a loser.”  Jackie walks away as medics come in to check on Raquel.

Next on the card is the Elitist Reid Rothchild defending the Elitist title against David Otunga.  This one goes an exhausting 20 minutes that sees Reid retain after nailing Otunga with a Rothchild stunner.  After the match, Alexander Rusev runs in and blasts Reid.  He locks him in a Bulgarian bearhug until Reid passes out.  He then drops Reid and announces he is challenging for the Elitist title at Clash of the Champions.  He picks up Reid and after grabbing his hair, shakes his head “yes” to show he accepted.  Looks like we have ourselves another match.

We have our next qualifying match with the Olympic Hero Kurt Angle taking on the Enigma Jeff Hardy.  Kurt was in control for a full 7 minutes but then lost his concentration.  Hardy capitalized and nailed a swanton bomb to secure a win. 

HWF World Champion Bray Wyatt comes out and says that there is one man he wants to face at Clash and that is Batista.  Batista hasn’t been seen in a while so he wants to make him “relevant” again.  He reminds us that Dave necessarily isn’t the top contender so there is a stipulation to this specialty match - if Dave loses, he must become part of Wyatt’s Warriors.  He asks Batista to come out and give his answer. Dave comes out to the cheering of the fans and accepts the match.  Dave tells Bray to bring his best game because he is the one walking out with the title unless Bray can figure out how to stop him.  Both men eventually leave.

Our second to last match is Chris Jericho taking on Jeff Hardy to see who will win this bracket.  Here was another match where Y2J controlled the tempo of the match but a moment lapse in concentration and Jericho was on the outside of the ring.  Hardy nails a suicide dive and plants Jericho into the ringside barrier.  He rolls back in beating the 10 count.  Jeff Hardy gets to move on.

The main event of the evening is Bray Wyatt’s first title defense against the All-American Jack Swagger.  Bray reminds Swagger that all his matches are specialty and that he had best work hard to fight for it.   Swagger says he wants a boot camp match and the champ obliges.  The match goes 16 minutes and is dominated by the champ.  The end comes after Bray executes the Drop and give foe 20 pushups.  Bray is successful in his first title defense.

There is much more to come so stay tuned.

HWF/CSWA Wrestling Newsletter 2014 – 07.09

***Note, this was supposed to be posted in July but without Internet access, it got delayed***

Hello fans and welcome back to our newsletter.  Our final show for the month of July took place in Tucson, AZ.  The Hulkster makes his way out and informs the fans (in this god-awful furnace) that today’s event will have the first bracket in determining a new CSWA World Champion.  Also in action will be Alexander Rusev taking on “the Elitist” Reid Rothchild, Wyatt’s Warrior member Centurion taking on Psycho Jack Hercules, and many other surprises.  Hulk didn’t have his “meat shield” with him so he opted not to badmouth the city of Tucson.  His message was short and sweet and we were able to get right on to the matches.

Jerking the curtain is Centurion vs Psycho Jack.  Psycho Jack controlled the entire match as I think Centurion’s mind was elsewhere.  It only took 8 minutes for Jack to finish off Centurion with the Shower Slasher.  Centurion left immediately after the match.

In the back, roving reporter Clarkus Kentus was trying to interview RVD and Ryback when they were interrupted by the Dudley’s.  Ryback and Rob gloated about their win over such a veteran team such as the Dudleys.  Rob said they could beat them again anywhere in any kind of match and Bubba Ray offered to make their next match a tables match.  Rob spoke up for the dumbstruck Ryback and agreed.  The Dudleys walked away and Ryback questioned what his partner was up to.  “Hey man, it’s ok.   You know, its 4:20 somewhere and I got “someone” to go meet.  Catch ya later partner.”  Rob left and Ryback just stood there looking confused.

The first qualifying match is up next with Seed #1 Samoa Joe taking on #4 Randy Orton.  Typical Orton cheating for 2 minutes then he tossed Joe out of the ring.  He nailed an RKO on the floor and Joe got counted out.  Samoa Joe was pissed.  The fans began to chant “Joe’s gonna kill you” and Randy looked a little scared so he bolted to the back followed by the Samoan.

The next match is #2 seed Rey Mysterio taking on #3 seed Alberto Del Rio.  Del Rio came out with the A-Team to make sure that Rey didn’t try anything funny.  Del Rio was getting his ass handed to him until about 10 minutes in.  Rey tossed Alberto out of the ring and the leader of the A-team “The Man” Austin Aries pulled Del Rio aside to give him some advice.  Aries walked around to the other side of the ring drawing the attention of the ref.  Antonio Cesaro grabbed a chair and nailed Rey in the arm with it.  Del Rio jumped back in the ring and locked in the rolling cross armbreaker.  Rey taps out giving the win to Del Rio.  By this time, 719 cartel members the Mexicali Flyers and VamChango ran down and chased off the A-Team.  They helped Rey to his feet and they all left together.

The Internet Media Champion and Prestige Inc member Magnus made his way down to the ring.  Magnus talked about all the great IM champs that have come and gone and he is sure to be remembered as one of the greats.  He is then interrupted by….Tajiri!  Holy Cow – Tajiri has come to the CSWA and HWF.  Tajiri motions he wants a match against Magnus and the champ obliges.  Magnus controls the match and in 17 minutes is able to secure a pin after hitting an armwringer.  After the match, Tajiri walked up to him and shook his hand…and then superkicked him.  The champ was stunned.  Tajiri went to the top rope and nailed a flying legdrop.  He brushed himself off and walked out.  The fans didn’t know what to think so the crowd was quite quiet.

Alexander Rusev made his way out to the ring and continued his bash against America.  Reid Rothchild began to make his way out when the All-American Jack Swagger came out.  Swagger said he was tired of sitting in the back listening to this chump run his mouth.  He asked Reid if he could have this match.  Reid said “Be my guest.”  Swagger runs down only to be met by Rusev who powerslams him on the steel steps.  It looks like Swagger is really hurt.  Rusev tosses Jack in the ring and after the bell is rung, stands on Swagger’s back inflicting more pain.  He then picks him up and locks him in a bearhug and Jack submits.  Rusev drops him like a wet burlap sack and then continues to taunt Reid.  Reid gets in the ring only for Rusev to jump out the other side and head back up the ramp.  This one may be coming to a boiling point sooner rather than later.

Our second to last match is for the Intercontinental title with the champion Dolph Ziggler taking on Kazarian.  Ziggler maintained control of the match and after Kaz got distracted, Dolph finished him off in 12 minutes with a fireman’s carry.  Dolph was leaving when Kaz asked about the ‘best of 3 falls’ rule.  Hogan came out and told Kaz that he was changing that rule and only when the belt is on the line at a PPV will that rule be enforced going forward.  Kaz tried to complain but no one wanted to hear it.

Our main event and the finals of our first bracket are Alberto Del Rio taking on Randy Orton.  Here was another match where Alberto was getting his ass kicked until the A-Team came back out.  Orton yelled at the ref to make sure they stay out of his match.  Alberto reached into his tights and pulled out a foreign object and nailed Randy in the back of the head with it.  He then picked him up and executed a falling powerbomb 6 minutes into the match.  With a little hook of the tights, Alberto gets the 1-2-3 and is the winner of his bracket.  Alberto Del Rio gets to move forward.  Austin Aries and Antonio Cesaro join him in the ring and they celebrate much to the dismay of the fans.

That is all for now.  Stay tuned.  Same Bat-time, same Bat-Channel.
