HWF/CSWA Wrestling Newsletter 2015 – #414

The show kicks off with owners Mr. Bychowski and Mr. Meyers meeting with GM Max McGillicutty.  Meyers wants to know what the hell happened in that main event.  Mr. Bychowski comments that he thought the show was moving along great but then there was this hiccup.  Max says that he had a contingency plan already worked out in case this happened.  He showed the owners what his plan was and they went from disappointment to “You really have thought this through.  If you pull this off, this could end up being the match of the year.”  Mr. Bychowski says “Sorry we doubted you on this.   Carry on the fantastic work.”  All 3 men shook hands as the segment ended.

The show begins with a bandaged-up Bray Wyatt making his way down to the ring.  Wyatt gets on the mic and says that it is time for the Wyatt family to once again sit atop the food chain that is the HWF and CSWA.   Bray then says that new blood is needed and introduces the newest additions to the Wyatt Family.  Out comes…New Day!!!  Kofi Kingston, Big E and Xavier Woods come out dressed as druids and then shed their cloaks and then run around like a bunch of goofballs.  Bray stands in the ring and shakes his head.  “On second thought…” escapes his lips and then the Desperados (El Chango & the Stache) rush out and beat the crap out of New Day.  Bray has the Desperados clean up their mess (they dragged the New Day members to the back) and just as Bray is getting ready to leave, out comes Kane.

Kane walks out and says Wyatt owes him answers since the Ascension are not giving up anything.  Wyatt says he answers to no one.  A decision was made and that is final.  Kane doesn’t take that too well and threatens harm to Wyatt.  The Desperados run out and attack the Big Red Machine.  After a minute or so, Bray has them stop and he takes the mic.  "The devil's favorite demon is no monster, man. He is an illusion. He's a fairy tale. The demon is a lie. But me, I'm much, much different, man. I am the man of a thousand truths. I am Bray Wyatt, the Eater of Worlds. And I am forever. Kane ... follow the buzzards."  Bray then leaves with the Desperados as Kane stirs in the ring.

CJ is in the back being interviewed.  He says that he let the Stache get into his head and that cost him the Intercontinental title.  However, that is old news.  He says that he is ready for his Hardcore title shot and wants Magnum Kone in the ring.  Kone walks over and starts pushing CJ.  “Who do you think you are calling me out?  I beat you for this and I’ll beat you again if you are ready.”  CJ says now is as good a time as any and heads to the ring.  Kone follows.

CJ makes his way to the ring and he is followed by Hardcore Champion Magnum Kone.  Kone too lost his shot at additional gold and he is still in a bad mood since Wargames.  The rules for this one will be Lights Out rules meaning no DQ.  Right off the bat, CJ locked Kone in the guillotine choke right in the middle of the ring and just as Kone was getting ready to tap out, The Stache runs out and repeatedly hits CJ with a steel chair.  Stache then drops the chair and leaves.  Magnum picks up CJ and nails the Popsicle (piledriver) right on the chair.  Kone makes the cover and gets the 1-2-3.  Magnum Kone retains the title.  He grabs his title and then leaves.  (10 min)

In the back, the Dudley’s (Bubba and Devon) say they went through hell in the TLC match and feel that they are next in line for the tag team title match.  They are interrupted by X-Factor’s AJ Styles and Christopher Daniels who say that THEY won the placement match and THEY are next in line.  Bubba asks if they are ready to put up or shut up and that they should meet in the ring and figure out who really should be next in line.  They agree.  Max walks over and says tonight’s card is full but they will have a match at the next show.

Our next match has the Savior and Drew the Canadian Love Machine taking on the Band (Dirk Devon and the Axe).  This one was a close match from beginning to end.  The Savior and Drew really held their own against the veterans (in HWF and CSWA standards) but neither team could get a leg up over the other.  The end of the match came and so happened that all 4 men were in the ring pounding the hell out of each other.  The sounding of the bell didn’t bring this one to a close so the ref called for extra help to separate everyone.  The Savior kept telling Dirk he wanted to “save” him and that seemed, for whatever reason, to piss Dirk off all the more.  I would not be surprised to see these two teams meet again.  (30 min)

As was mentioned during Wargames, John Cena vs the Undertaker has already been put on paper for Starcade.  I would bet over the next few weeks we should see a contract signing.

We go back to the ring for our Women’s Money in the Bank battle royal.  The winner of this battle royal will receive a title shot at either the Women’s title or Diva’s title.  Everyone was in here including Diva’s Champion Jupiter Jane and Women’s Champion Southern Belle.  Elimination occurred as such:

Jupiter Jane by Paige (Madame Jade did not help her partner)

Ravishing Raquel by Velvet Sky

Sasha Banks by Summer Rae

Madison Rayne by Cactus Jackie

Paige by Angelina Love

Charlotte by Madame Jade

Alicia Fox by Velvet Sky

Brie Bella by Natalya

Awesome Kong by Nikki Bella

Taylor Bella by Gail Kim

Summer Rae by Southern Belle

Cactus Jackie by Angelina Love

Madame Jade by Velvet Sky

Nikki Bella by Natalya

Southern Belle by Gail Kim

Velvet Sky is accidentally eliminated by her partner Angelina Love

Gail Kim by Natalya

Natalya by Angelina Love.

Angelina Love (from the Beautiful People) is the winner and she says she wants the shot at the Women’s champion Southern Belle.  Belle was dumped by the Beautiful People so I’m sure Belle will want to get even. (30 min)

Jeff Jarrett gets on the mic talking about how great he is and that no one can beat him.  Kevin Owens walks over and says he can beat Jarrett on any given Sunday – or any day of the week for that matter.  Jarrett says he’ll meet Kevin in the ring right now.

Kevin Owens gets the surprising win over Jeff Jarrett after hitting him with the Steenalizer (reverse powerbomb suplex) in 9 minutes.  As Owens is celebrating, Jarrett attacks him and beats him down.  Jeff says that this was a fluke and says he will prove it.  He tells Owens to find 2 other buddies and next show, Jeff will take all 3 on in singles competition and if he wins, Owens must quit.  Kevin, who has somewhat recovered by now, says that he’ll accept that but only if Jeff puts his career on the line too if he does not beet all 3 men.  Jeff agrees.

GM Max McGillicutty makes an announcement from his office where he says that he will be making things right regarding the Brock Lesnar/Samoa Joe match from Wargames.  That announcement will be made at the next show.

Today’s main event will be a Men’s Money in the Bank Battle Royal where the winner will get a shot at any title he wants.  This one went a full 60 minutes and saw some surprises.  Mr. Wrestling 5 returned and caused Buff Austin to get eliminated.  The Fiend returned to assist the Miz but got eliminated for his efforts.  CJ was eliminating people left and right.  CJ eliminated the Stache but was then eliminated by El Chango.  There were also multiple double disqualifications.  Brock Lesnar eliminated the Undertaker with a HUGE F-5 out of the ring.  We finally get to our final two participants and those were Bobby Lashley and Big Show.    Big Show ends up with the win after hitting Bobby with a Cutting Edge and then tossing him over the top rope.   Max comes out and says that both men will receive Money in the Bank contracts as they put on a hell of a performance.  Big Show will get a future World title shot and Bobby will get a US Title shot.  (60 min)

We cut to the back where a pissed off Stache is kicking and throwing things around.  El Chango says that the Stache has some anger issues tied to CJ.  El Chango proposes that the two of them do their own thing for a while and after the Stache has dealt with CJ, they will team back up and go after the belts they were screwed out of.  Since they are now affiliated with the Wyatt family, Stache will have to make time for the family.  Stache and El Chango shake hands and Stache looks at the camera and yells “Bitch will recognize…”

With that the show comes to an end.  Stay tuned as the action surely will continue.

HWF/CSWA Wrestling Newsletter 2015 – #413 - Wargames Day 2

Hello fans and welcome to day 2 of WARGAMES.  We are still coming to you from Kalamazoo, MI.  All this writer can say is that the fans in attendance both yesterday and today truly rival some of the best crowds we’ve seen all year and that includes our Wrestlemania PPV from earlier this year.  This sport truly has some of the best fans in the world.

GM Max McGillicutty comes out and welcomes everyone who’s attending here live and on PPV.  With the lineup for today and one bonus match, fans around the world will be in for a real treat. 

The pyro goes off and we are ready for our first match. Alexander Rusev makes his way out and he has wrapped himself in a Russian Chain which will be the stipulation for this match.  Rusev gets in the ring and starts to sing the Russian National Anthem but new music hits and out comes the Olympic Hero and leader of the Varsity Club – Kurt Angle.  Angle gets a solid pop and that seems to infuriate Rusev all the more.  Kurt gets in the ring and the ref attaches the chain to him.  Rusev is already set and he immediately goes on the offensive.  Rusev blasted Angle with forearm smashes and Kurt would battle back – first with a chain whip snap that stunned the Bulgarian Bully but then he used the chain to tie Rusev up in the corner and just pummel him.  Rusev would battle back and drop Kurt with a Moscow corner smash and Kurt is now bleeding.  Rusev throws Angle over the top rope and tries to hang him with the chain but Kurt manages to get his feet quickly on the mat and then turns and drops Rusev with a neck snap on the top rope.  Rusev battles back and tries to maul Kurt with the chain but Kurt stops it and then hurls Rusev over the top rope and he’s kicking and squirming as he tries to get back up on the ring apron.  Rusev would battle back and hit Kurt with the Accolade but he could not keep Angle down.  Kurt would blast Rusev with the Moscow corner smash and now Rusev is busted open.  Rusev tries to hurl Kurt out of the ring but it is reversed and Kurt wraps Rusev up in the chair and then locks in the chainlink Leningrad lock.  Rusev has no where he can go and struggles as he might, it’s all for naught.  Kurt keeps cinching it in and Rusev has no choice but to tap out.  Kurt Angle wins this one via submission and the place explodes.  The ref unlocks Kurt from the chain and he celebrates with the fans and then exists as Rusev is attended to by medical personnel. (20 min)

Back in Max’s office, Leon Teremoto storms in and just stares at the GM.  He’s wearing an old black leather jacket and his hair is a mess.  “What about me?  What about Leon?  WHAT ABOUT ME?”  Max asks him what the hell he’s talking about.  Leon says he feels neglected and unless Max wants to face a lawsuit for improper use of a character, he’d better put Leon in a match tonight where a title is on the line.  Max says fine and inserts him into the Elitist title match between champion Reid Rothchild and Austin Aries.  Leon nods his head in acceptance and then leaves.

Our next match is for the X-Division title with champion Tyler Breeze defending it against the man who holds the Hardcore title Magnum Kone.  Kone came out first and for whatever reason, he did not bring out any ice cream to the fans at ringside.  He did shake the hands of a few people but that was it.  Breeze makes his way out and he comes out to a mixed reaction.  This one will be hard to tell who’s playing what role.   Magnum Kone did not look like the defending Hardcore champion.  The champ owned this one for sure and it only took 10 minutes and a headlock to secure this win.  After the match, Kone was visibly upset and refused to shake the hand of Breeze.  Fans reached out for Magnum Kone as he walked to the back but he ignored each and every one of them.  (10 min)

HWF World Champion Brock Lesnar is in the interview area and standing with him is Paul Heyman. Heyman says he speaks for his client right now as Brock will do all his “talking” when he beats the holy hell out of Samoa Joe and takes the CSWA World title.  Brock then will go on and defeat Bray Wyatt to become the Triple Crown winner (both World titles and the Undisputed Heavyweight Championship).  Heyman ends with “Hail…hail Brock Lesnar…land of the Beast…In…car…naaaaaate”.

We go back to the ring for the next title match which is for the Elitist Title.  The champ Reid Rothchild is defending against both Leon Teremoto and Austin Aries.  Leon comes out first and is booed.  Aries comes out next to a mixed reaction.  Reid comes out with his wife former Divas/Women’s Champion Ravishing Raquel.  They receive solid boos from this crowd.  This one started off with Aries stepping back and letting Reid and Leon duke it out.  If it seemed that one was getting too far ahead of themselves, Aries would step in but only to even the odds.  Reid would hit the Hogan Leg Drop on Leon but before he could go for the pin, Aries sent Reid to the outside and threw him into the steel steps.  Aries then continued to beat down on Leon but that little rest seemed to be what Leon needed and he took the fight right to Aries.  Aries had underestimated his opponent and on a few occasions, it almost cost him the match.  Aries had just stated to get the upper hand and he sent Leon to the outside with a slingshot senton.  Aries followed him out and laid him on the Spanish Announcers table.  Aries went back to the ring and climbed the turnbuckle and hit the Aries 450 onto Leon through the table.  Holy Shit chants echoed throughout the arena.  Aries struggled to get to his feet and barely made it back in the ring.  Reid was waiting for him and picked him up and nailed a Rothchild Stunner.  Reid then dragged Aries out of the ring and nailed a Reid Bottom on the floor.  Aries looked to be out.  Reid rolled back into the ring and the ref made the count to 10 counting Aries and Leon both down and out.  Reid Rothchild retains his title but the fans don’t like the way this ended and they were vocal about it.  Reid just flipped them off and left with Ravishing Raquel.  (28 min)

CSWA World Champion Samoa Joe is in the interview area and he says that Lesnar and Heyman are full of hot air.  Joe is the only one walking out with both World titles and it will be Joe who goes on to fight Bray for the chance to become the Triple Crown Champ.  Joe promises this match to be off the hook.

Bray Wyatt comes out and says that the Undisputed Heavyweight Champion has not had an opportunity to defend his title in quite a while and while Brock and Joe are fighting things out, he’s been sitting idly by waiting for his turn.  He says though that he’s bored and wants to see action tonight.  Bray asks for anyone who feels they can step up to come out to the ring right now.  Bray watches the ramp but no one comes out but there is a commotion from the crowd.  Someone is making their way to the ring through the sea of people.  He hops the ringside barrier and its….holy crap…Rob Van Dam!!!  Rob grabs a mic and says that for one night only, he’s back and he’s going to shut Bray’s mouth once and for all.  Bray says that if Rob wants to put his money where his mouth is, they can make this one an ECW Rules match.  The fans chant “ECW, ECW, ECW” and RVD agrees.  Before this one can start, CSWA World Champion Samoa Joe comes out with a wooden chair.  He blasts Bray with it before the match could begin busting him open.  RVD then hits a VanTerminator and makes the cover to get the 3 count.  GM Max McGillicutty comes out and says that this is not how a match like this goes down.  He says Rob is better than that and he wants Rob and Bray to put on a fight.  RVD agrees and the match continues.  For 7 minutes, Bray was on the receiving end of RVD’s onslaught but he would not stay down.  At the 10 minute mark, Bray went for Sister Abigail but RVD reversed it and nailed a VanTerminator.  Bray kicked out at 2.  A few minutes later, Bray nails RVD with Sister Abigail on a chair but he has nothing in his tank.  By the time he made the cover, RVD kicked out at 2.  After this however, the tide changed and Bray started to get his wind back while RVD never recovered.  RVD manages to hit a split legged moonsault and then sent Bray to the outside so he can regain his composure.  He follows Bray out but ends up getting dragged up to an eagles’ nest where Bray threw him off of.  ECW chants were deafening.  Bray drags RVD back to the ring but ends up eating a chair shot.  A sloppy cover by Rob allowed Bray to kick out at 2.  Rob sets up a VanDaminator but Bray reverses it and hits another Sister Abigail on the chair.  This time he hooks the leg and gets the 1-2-3.  HOLY CRAP…what a match.  A bloody Bray Wyatt wobbles as he gets to his feet.  Just then, HWF World Champion Brock Lesnar runs out and nails Bray with the F-5.  He then takes Bray’s blood and smears it across his chest in mock defiance.  Brock then leaves.  Medics come out and help Bray and Rob to the back.  (19 min)

John Cena is in the back and the fans are ridiculing him for losing his match against the Miz.  Cena says that he is going to wrestle tonight and whomever wants to get in the ring with him will feel his wrath. 

Cena storms out to the ring and grabs a mic.  Cena says that it doesn’t matter who and it doesn’t matter which federation, he wants a match here and now.  There is silence before….GONG!  The lights go out and come back eerie blue and out strolls the Undertaker.  Taker makes his way to the ring and then raises his arms as the lights come up.  Cena attacks the Undertaker but Taker is ready for him.  Taker battles back and locks John in the triangle choke.  John manages to shake out of it and then rolls out of the ring.  Undertaker gets on the mic and asks John why, after demanding a match, he’s running away.  Undertaker holds the ropes open for John but he refuses to get back in the ring.  GM Max McGillicutty comes out and says that, although he’d love to see this match tonight, there is no time on the card with 2 matches still left to go.  Cena looks relieved.  Max says that this match will still happen and…surprise, surprise…it will take place in December at Starcade!  This PPV isn’t even over yet and we have our first match for Starcade.  Undertaker drags his thumb across his throat and the eyes roll back in his head as the fans POP!  Cena shakes his head and makes his way to the back.

It’s time to see who will be crowned Intercontinental Champion.  Our two finalists – Sonic Blade and CJ – are up next.  Sonic Blade comes out first and he is followed out by CJ.  Both men got a decent pop from the crowd.   Just then, Sting appears up in the rafters and then we see him repel down.  Sting reminds the two competitors that he opted not to be in the tournament so that someone deserving wins but he is challenging whomever wins the title tonight.  Sting looks at both CJ and Sonic Blade and then shoots back up to the rafters where he disappears in a cloud of smoke.  GM Max comes out and says that both men will be winners of sorts tonight.  Whomever does not win the IC title will become the #1 contender for the Hardcore title. 

Both men shake hands and this one is off.  Sonic Blade catches CJ off guard with a power clothesline followed by an atomic drop. CJ hits a fireman’s carry and then tries to lock in a guillotine choke but Blade makes it to the ropes to break the hold.  Blade hits another clothesline and CJ stuns him with dropkicks.  CJ hits a second dropkick and then goes for a superplex but Blade pushes CJ off.   Blade nails a tilt a whirl arm drag but CJ sends him to the outside for an 8 count. CJ then hits a hangman’s DDT but Blade rolls him up for a 2 count.  CJ goes for a cross body block but Blade moves out of the way.  Blade sets him up for the Alhambra attack but CJ reverses it and snaps Blade’s neck on the ropes.  Blade and CJ then trade multiple clotheslines and dropkicks.  Blade then tosses CJ out of the ring and then collapses in the corner from exhaustion.  From the crowd comes the Stache who throws CJ into the steel post busting him open.  He then rolls CJ back into the ring.  “Payback’s a bitch” Stache says and then leaves through the crowd.  As CJ is struggling to get to his feet, Blade hits a fireman’s carry and then another power clothesline.  He lands on CJ and with a hook of the leg, gets the 1-2-3.  Sonic Blade has just become the NEW INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPION!!!!  CJ is helped out of the ring by the ref and Sonic Blade celebrates in the ring with his new title.  (19 min)   

GM Max McGillicutty comes back out.  “Hell of a match.  Congrats to the new Intercontinental Champion.  Sonic Blade vs Sting will be happening sooner rather than later.  Congrats to the Steel Curtain for retaining their titles.  I do not think we’ve seen the last of the Desperados though.  Now, it is time for our main event.  This match will be best of 3 falls with a no DQ 60 minute time limit.  The winner of the match will hold both World Titles and then will challenge Bray Wyatt to a match where all 3 titles will be on the line and one man will walk out the ONLY champion.  Without further ado, let’s get this one started.”

CSWA Champion Samoa Joe comes out first.  There are some chants of “Joe’s gonna kill you” but those are drowned out when HWF Champion Brock Lesnar (no Paul Heyman) makes his way out.  Brock has a look on his face that could kill.  Joe is in the ring pacing, waiting.  Brock launches himself over the top rope (not an easy feat for someone his size) but he pulls it off flawlessly.  The two men stare at each other as the ref goes over the rules.   The first fall goes 29 minutes and after taking the beating of a lifetime, Joe manages to hit a Muscle Buster to get the first fall.  The second fall goes to Brock who, in 20 minutes, was able to finally connect with an F-5 and secure the win.  That only leaves 11 minutes left for a third fall to happen.  Joe starts off hot and immediately confuses Brock when he starts going after submission moves.  Joe locked in the rear naked clutch 3 times but Brock refused to tap out.  Just as the match is coming to a close, a bloody and bandaged up Bray Wyatt comes out and blasts both Joe and Brock numerous times with a steel chair.   Bray then motioned for someone from the back to come out and two hooded individuals came out and put the boots to both Joe and Brock for 30 seconds.  Bray then calls them off and the three leave.  The ref then began to count and just before he hit 10, the bell rang signaling the end of the match.  This one ends in a draw!!!  The fans are not happy with this result as they were expecting a winner.  Max comes back out and says that he WILL make this one right for the fans.  They just need to stick with him a little while longer.  He promises the fans will like his plan.  The show comes to an end just as Max’s phone rings and he looks at the number at it’s the owners.  Hmm…wonder where we go from here.

Thanks for reading.  Stay tuned as there is sure to be fallout from this show.

HWF/CSWA Wrestling Newsletter 2015 – #412 - Wargames – Day 1

Hello fans and welcome to our PPV – WARGAMES – LIVE from Kalamazoo, MI at Waldo Stadium.  The 36,000 seat outdoor venue is sold out for both days.  We expect the show to top all expectations. 

The show begins with pyro going off and GM Max McGillicutty coming out to greet the fans.  He says that he doesn’t want to waste any time and wants this amazing show in front of its amazing fans to get right into the action.  Max says the show kick off with 6 man tag team action.

The show starts with Eric Young, ‘Luke Warm’ Lucas Johnston and ‘Main Event’ Buff Austin heading to the ring.  The fans booed each and every one of them.   Johnston, surprisingly got a very vocal disapproval.  I guess this means he’s no longer ‘luke warm’ and he just plain sucks.  After they got to the ring, music hits and out comes Phat Sol accompanied by his niece Madame Jade.  They wait on the stage as Phat’s tag team partners, our team from the Great White North make their way out.  The Savior and Drew, the Canadian Love Machine come out to a good pop.  Phat Sol directs them to the ring and they head down collectively and enter the ring.  EY, Buff and Lucas all bailed out of the ring.  It took some convincing from the ref but they finally came back in and we got this one off to the races.  Phat chased EY around the ring but eventually caught up with him.  He beat down on him for a few minutes and kept Buff and Lucas on the outside. Phat kept EY on their side of the ring and wouldn’t let him tag out.  Phat tags in Drew, the CLM and he goes to work.  Austin and Lucas both tried to get in the ring but the Savior runs over and nails a flying body press taking both of them out before they could even get involved.  Drew then nails EY with a corkscrew pescado and makes the cover for the 1-2-3.  Drew, the Savior and Phat Sol are victorious in the first match of the evening.  They shake hands with the fans at ringside before heading to the back.  (10 min)

We cut backstage where we meet up with the World Tag Team Champions the Steel Curtain.  Buzz Steel comments that he doesn’t understand why the Desperados have become such “assholes”.  Starbuck says that they are frustrated that they couldn’t retain the titles and they’ll take it out on anyone they can.  Starbuck says that CJ has been on the receiving end of Stache’s frustration.  He says that tonight, the Desperados will be sent home empty handed.  Buzz nods his head and says “Word”.

We head back to the ring for our next match which is a TLC – Tables, Ladders and Chairs match between the American Wolves (Eddie Edwards & Davey Richards), the Attitude Adjustment (Abyss & Adam Rose), the Dudley Boys (Devon and Bubba) and the Dust Brothers (Goldust and Stardust).  This is set up as an elimination match.   This one started off with all 8 men in the ring.  As one person is eliminated, the team can still win if one remaining member makes it to the end.  Adam Rose is the first person eliminated by Bubba after taking a chair shot to the face.  Abyss eliminates Devon Dudley after chokeslamming him through a table at ringside.  Davey Richards eliminates Stardust after diving off a ladder and putting Stardust through a table.  Eddie Edwards does everyone a favor and eliminates Goldust after DDT-ing him on a chair.  The Dust Brothers are out.  Bubba then eliminates Abyss after he and Eddie Edwards hit him with double chair shots.  The Attitude Adjustment are out.   The Wolves then dump Bubba out of the ring and have a stare off in the ring.  Eddie asks Davey if they want to do this and he says sure.  The two of them start having a technical match but that is cut short after Bubba drops Davey with a Bubba Bomb on a steel chair.  Eddie then attacks Bubba the starts blasting him with numerous chair shots.  Eddie goes for a pin but Bubba reverses it and hits him with a Bubba Bomb.  Bubba grabs a table and sets it up in the ring. He then picks up Eddie and climbs the turnbuckle.  He hits Eddie with the Bubba Bomb through a table.  He makes the cover and gets the 1-2-3.  The Dudley Boys win this one and are working themselves up the ladder.  I am sure they will get a title shot sooner rather than later.  (30 min)

Backstage the Bella ladies (Taylor, Brie & Nikki) and they say that whomever scores the pin on their opponents will get a title shot at the person who is pinned.   There is no way their opponents will get anything resembling a win tonight.

We go back to the ring as New Day (Kofi Kingston, Big E and Xavier Woods) make their way out to the ring.  They are dressed in singlets (apparently mocking the dress attire of the Varsity Club). While they are running around the ring like a bunch of goofballs, we cut to a video live streaming from the back.  Kurt Angle is giving his team (Jack Swagger, Frankie Kazarian & Bo Dallas) a pep talk.  Jack Swagger questions if they can really pull this off and Kurt says they just have to Bo-leave.  Bo Dallas smiles at the use of his trademarked phrase.  They huddle and then yell “BREAK” and then head to the ring.  Kurt Angle leads his team down to the ring.  The New Day was totally owning this match until Kurt called for a surprise guest to come out.  Out comes original Varsity Club member Mike Rotundo.  Rotundo (Bo Dallas’ dad) comes out to a nice pop.  Big E beats down on Kurt Angle and Kofi and Xavier rush to attack Mike Rotundo.  Rotundo fights them off but the numbers are too great.  The clock is winding down and as we approach the time limit, the New Day doesn’t seem to care as they just want to continue to inflict punishment.  They lay a beaten down Rotundo on a table that was set up and Kofi climbs the turnbuckle to deliver a flying splash.  Bo sees this and immediately recovers.  Bo grabs Kofi before he can launch and that gives Kazarian time to get Rotundo off the table.  Bo then launches Kofi and he goes crashing right through the table.  New Day is stunned.  Bo makes the hot tag to Frankie who drops Xavier.  Woods makes the hot tag to Big E but gets caught in a hammerlock.  Big E then shoulderblocks Frankie but then the bell rings signaling the end of the match.  Kurt is immediately in the ring to stop any further attacks but Big E looks like he wants to continue.  Mike Rotundo gets in the ring and stands by his son.  Big E and Xavier know they’re outnumbered so they grab an unconscious Kofi and leave the ring.  Big E curses at Kurt and Kurt tells him anytime he wants a match, he’ll know where to find him.  (30 min draw)

The Brethren (Viktor and Konnor of the Ascension and Kane) are being interviewed and there is tension amongst the team.  Reporter Clarkus Kentus asks the Ascension to explain here and now why they are no longer associated with Bray Wyatt even though they are the 6 Man tag team champs.  Kane leans in and says “now is as good a time as any”.  Viktor tells everyone that Bray had a vision and it showed that the Brethren were not part of the family any longer.  Konnor says the decision for the split is 100% on Bray and they did not feel the necessity to question it.  Kane looks at them and asks if he has a part in this future and Viktor said “unknown”.  Kane lowered his head and walked out.  The Ascension seem concerned and they follow.

Our next match is the Bella Trio (Nikki, Brie and Taylor) taking on the Women’s Champion Southern Belle, the Diva’s champion Jupiter Jane and Madame Jade.  If one of the Bella’s scores the pin on a champ, then that person gets a title shot at that title.  All of the Bella ladies saw action in the ring but for whatever reason, Madame Jade did not.  The two ladies champions did all the work in the ring but didn’t let Jade wrestle.  Nikki Bella looked to get hurt early on but like a trooper, she kept working the match.  The Bella’s had frequent tags in and out but that didn’t stop the onslaught brought by the two women champions.   Jupiter Jane just got done blasting the hell out of Taylor who made a hot tag to Nikki.  Jane tags in Belle who reversed an armbar and then tripped Nikki so she landed with her neck hitting the second rope.  Belle rolled her up and got the 1-2-3.  Belle, Jupiter Jane and Madame Jade get the win.  After the match, Madame Jade just walked away.  (10 min) 

The challengers to the World Tag team titles the Desperados (the Stache and El Chango) are being interviewed by reporter Larry Morton.  The Stache goes on a tirade about how he drove CJ out of the HWF and CSWA because there is no way he’d show his face around here after that beating he took.  El Chango says that it is time for the Tag Belts to come home as the Steel Curtain are not the rightful owners; they are.

We head back to the ring for our next match up which has the Enforcers (Ryback & Mark Henry) take on the X-Factor (AJ Styles and Christopher Daniels) and the Band (Dirk ‘the Pick’ Devon & the Axe).  The Enforcers hit the ring first followed by the Band and finally the X-Factor.   This one will be based on how many wins a team can get within a 60 minute time limit.  The Band score the first fall after Dirk Devon pinned Mark Henry.  The Enforcers scored the next fall after pinning the AJ Styles.  X-Factor scored back to back wins after Dirk Devon got counted out and then Axe got counted out.  The Band gets eliminated after Mark Henry got the Axe to tap out to a bear hug.  This one went right up to the final seconds of the match and after Ryback missed a spear, AJ nailed him with the Styles Clash and covered him for the 1-2-3.  The X-Factor win this one and will be in line next for a tag team title shot.  (45 min)

GM Max McGillicutty comes back out and again thanks everyone for attending.  Max says that they have 100% sold out this show and the place is at capacity.  Max says our final two matches of the evening will be for tag titles with the first being the 6 man titles held by the Brethren (the Ascension & Kane) and they are defending against the Shield (Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins & Dean Ambrose), The A-Team (Adrian Neville, Antonio Cesaro & Alberto el Patron) and finally Prestige Inc. (Reid Rothchild, King Damian Sandow & Magnus).  The respective teams all hit the ring within a minute of each other and the champs come out last.  This one too will be an elimination match.  The last man standing will win, for his team, the 6 man titles.   In order of elimination:  Damian Sandow by Antonio Cesaro; Alberto el Patron by Magnus; Seth Rollins by Konnor; Viktor by Roman Reigns; Adrian Neville is eliminated by mistake after Cesaro, who was going after Kane, hit his partner by mistake (Neville via Kane/Cesaro); Reid Rothchild was also eliminated by his tag partner Magnus after Reid agreed to let Magnus continue for the team; Konnor is eliminated by Dean Ambrose; Kane then receives a superman punch from Roman Reigns and is eliminated.  The Brethren have officially lost the titles.  Magnus is eliminated by Cesaro; Cesaro is then double teamed by Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose.  Ambrose holds Cesaro just as Reigns winds up for the Superman punch but Cesaro ducks and Ambrose eats it eliminating him.  Cesaro then hits Reigns with a Swiss uppercut and rolls him up for the final 1-2-3.  The A-Team have just become the NEW 6 MAN TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS.  Alberto el Patron and Adrian Neville come out and celebrate with their partner holding the titles high and then leaving as one united group.  (45 min)

GM Max McGillicutty comes back out and congratulates the new champions.  Max says the main event is up next and he is interrupted by the Desperados.  Stache gets into Max’s face and says that they too will be congratulated as the new champs.  They make their way down to the ring.  The Tag Team Champions the Steel Curtain are then introduced to one of the loudest pops of the night.  Starbuck and Buzz Steel hold their titles high as they make their way down to the ring.  Just as the champs enter the ring, El Chango and Stache go on the offensive and they rush to ring the bell to start this one off.  For the first 8 minutes of the match, the Desperados pulled all the stops out. The champs then battled back with numerous double teams but then so did the challengers.  After the 10 minute mark, this match was about as even as it could get.  Stache contemplated walking out a few times but then changed his mind.  All 4 men hit their specialty moves but none could keep their opponent’s shoulders down for that elusive 3 count.  The fans were actually cheering both teams as this was surely the highlight match of the night and well deserving of being the main event.  Before we knew it, we were 29 minutes in with only 60 seconds left.  Stache had just made the hot tag to El Chango and Buzz to Starbuck.  Just then, CJ comes out on stage and starts to walk down towards the ring.  The Stache sees him and jumps down to confront him just as El Chango was looking for double teaming.  The Stache started jaw-jacking to CJ who just stood there and smirked.   Back in the ring, El Chango caught Starbuck in a head scissors and just as he was going for the pin, the bell rang signaling a time limit draw.  Stache turned and went back to his corner but it was too late.  This one is over and the Steel Curtain retain their titles via time limit draw.  The champs leave as the Desperados complain in the ring.  CJ then runs in and drops the Stache with a bulldog headlock.  He then keeps running as to stay away from El Chango.  CJ laughs all the way back and the fans cheer.  El Chango sneers and shakes his fist but alas, there is nothing that can be done. 

Max is out for the final time of the evening and thanks the fans for attending.  Those who will be live and watching on PPV will be in for a treat tomorrow as there will be one additional match that has been approved and that will be added to tomorrow’s card.  Stay tuned for Day 2.

HWF/CSWA Wrestling Newsletter 2015 – #411 - lead up to Wargames

Hello fans.  Welcome back to our newsletter.  This is our final show before next weekend’s 2 day PPV – Wargames.   GM Max McGillicutty says that by the end of the night, the Wargames card will be finalized.  There will be matches taking place today that could influence the card so we are waiting till the end of the show to make that announcement. 

Our first match of the night has ‘The Elitist’ Reid Rothchild defending his title against Adam Rose from the Attitude Adjustment.  Rose tells Reid that he is taking that title and there is nothing Reid can do about it. Before the match kicks off, X-Factor member ‘the Man’ Austin Aries appears on the Omegatron and reminds Reid that title will be his.  This one went on for quite a while with Adam taking the champ to school.  Of course, Austin Aries (via satellite feed to the Omegatron) kept making snide remarks that Reid took offense to.  Reid was in jeopardy of losing this one quite a few times.  Reid would go to confront Aries (yell at the Omegatron) and on 5 occasions, almost got counted out.  He would make it back in the ring and Rose would continue the offensive.  Finally, the bell rang bringing this one to an end and ending in a time limit draw.  Reid retains his title.  After the match, Aries appears on screen once again and tells Reid to enjoy his title while it lasts as he will be taking that belt next weekend.  (30 min)

We cut to the back for a commotion taking place. Phat Sol corners EY and threatens to tear him limb from limb.  After a cheap shot, EY runs to the ring followed by Phat.  Phat chases him around the ring and EY scurries through the crowd at top speed.  Phat tells EY to get himself his tag team partner as Phat Sol and Madame Jade will take on EY and Summer Rae.

We head back to the ring for a 6 Man match for the titles.  This was supposed to be X-Factor taking on the champs but when introduced, they weren’t there.  Instead, new challengers, the A-Team (Alberto el Patron, Adrian Neville & Antonio Cesaro) head down to take on the champs the Brethren (Viktor & Konnor from the Ascension and Kane).  Viktor and Konnor walk to the ring followed by Kane who doesn’t understand why Bray Wyatt cut them loose.  Kane confronts his teammates and Viktor yells at him “Later!”    The A-team were the aggressors in this match but regardless of what they did, they could not pin the Brethren.  The bell rings bringing this to an end in yet another time limit draw but before the A-Team could complain, out comes the Shield (Dean Ambrose, Roman Reigns, & Seth Rollins).  The immediately attack all the people on the ring.   The Shield clear the ring and exert their dominance saying they are the only team deserving of a title shot.  GM Max McGillicutty comes out and says this interference gave him an idea.  The Brethren, A-Team and the Shield will get a chance to fight it out and the winning team will become the 6 Man Tag Team Champs.  (30 min for the match, 35 for the segment)

The Band (Axe and Dirk Devon) complains about not getting a title shot even though they have a great record.  X-Factor says they should be getting a 6 man shot but Aries gets Reid Rothchild at the PPV so they’ll take a shot at the tag titles.  The Enforcers say they are next in line. Prestige Inc. members King Damian Sandow and Magnus say they want to throw their names into the mix.  Max makes yet another match for the PPV.  The winner gets the next tag team title shot.

We go back to the ring for our next match.  Tag Team Champions the Steel Curtain (Buzz and Starbuck Steel) come out and say they want to be the first team to welcome our new friends from the north by giving them a match.  Max comes out and introduces the newest addition to the HWF and CSWA.  First out comes the Savior and he is followed by his tag team partner Drew, the Canadian Love Machine.  The champs started off strong but soon the challengers really began taking the match to them.  Savior kicked some serious ass in the ring all the while Drew was wooing the young ladies at ringside.  Savior called him back to the ring and he continued where the Savior left off and kept up the ass kicking.  Starbuck was on the receiving end of most of the attacks and he finally made the hot tag to Buzz Steel.  Savior and Drew double teamed Buzz and as Buzz battled back (going after the Savior who he thought was the legal man), Drew, the Canadian Love Machine executed a headstand scissors and took Buzz down.  He made the cover and got the surprise 1-2-3.  Our Canadian team get their first win but their celebration is cut short when ‘Luke Warm’ Lucas Johnston and ‘Main Event’ Buff Austin come out and question why these ‘illegal aliens’ are here taking away American jobs.  Savior answers with a dropkick sending Austin out of the ring and Drew nails Lucas with a superman punch.  The Savior and Drew get a nice pop from the crowd and then shake hands with the champs.  (18 min)  Max says that he has plans for the Savior and Drew, the CLM and will decide what to do next.

It appears that the X-Factor (AJ Styles, Christopher Daniels and Austin Aries) were all locked out of the arena and couldn’t get in (I think the A-Team had something to do with this).  Aries had been doing his feed from one of the production trailers while he waited for his teammates to arrive.  Aries calms everyone down and says that he has a match at Wargames and since he won’t be available to participate in 6 man competition, AJ and Daniels should enter the tag match with the winner getting a title shot.  Aries is ok with it as he is walking out the Elitist Champion anyway.

Max remained on the stage and calls out Eric Young and Summer Rae and tells them to head to the ring.  EY comes out and he and Summer are trying to complain to Max that this match should not be happening.  Max orders him to the ring and he reluctantly heads down.  Phat Sol and Madame Jade appear behind them and chase them to the ring.  EY and Summer jump into the crowd and it takes them a few minutes to finally get in the ring.   For whatever reason, Summer Rae would not get in the ring.  That did not, however, stop Madame Jade from taking the fight to Eric Young.  Eric got lots of crap from the fans for bouncing Jade around the ring but she held her own.  Phat ends up tagging back in and beats the crap out of EY.  Summer makes a couple of saves but EY tells her to step away.  EY hits a low blow and tries for a pin but Phat kicks out.  Phat battles back and hits the Phat’s Enough.  He only gets a 2 count.  He nails a vertical suplex and ends up getting the 1-2-3.   EY motions for his teammates to come down. ‘Luke Warm’ Lucas Johnston and ‘Main Event’ Buff Austin head down and they attack Phat Sol while Summer holds Madame Jade back.  All of a sudden, the Canadian superstars the Savior and Drew the Canadian Love Machine hit the ring and chase everyone off.  Madame Jade turns the tables on Summer and she bolts too.  Max comes back out and says that Austin, EY and Lucas will take on the team of Savior, Drew and Phat Sol.    (27 min for the match; 30 for the segment)

CJ comes out with a mic and heads to the ring.  “Gaaaaaadummmmmm what up Oklahoma city!!!!!!  Feels so good to be back.....and I'm sure after a long break like this I'm sure you all expected me to come out..... talk a little crap, and call out some big name talent to once again, remind and reestablish  myself as a top contender here in this empire called the hwf/cswa.....but I'm not!!!!!  And ok I apologize, truly honestly and sincerely.....you see last time we were at work these 2 little stooges Larry...no, Mo...no..... ummmm ohh yeah curly and shemp were running their mouths using MY NAME to what…make a statement...elevate your career????  You no talent Yosemite sam/ Elmer fudd no name no talent having chumps think what.....you can call out CJ????? Are you serious...crazy....No you’re dumbasses..... I mean who comes out here with a lame looking overly waxed under-groomed harry patch on their face and claims to be a superstar???? You've no talent, no skill, no swag, no presence and a lame gimmick.....so ok I'm sorry,  I wish I could make a statement here tonight with another cswa or hwf superstar, but tonight I'm making a little different statement.....so snatch if your back there listening.....grease up that 70s bush of yours cuz I'm bringing it Ron Jeremy style to your sweet ass!!!!!”

  

The Stache comes out and stands on stage.  He has a reply of his own:

“Well well well, looks like Calamity Jane is back at it. You come to my town and act like one of us?  Top contender? Maybe the top contender to shine my boots- pssh - if he’s lucky.  Talking about the Stache’s glorious lip sweater in such a manner only makes me think that I need to start watching my drinks around this pathetic pile of horse shit. I’m afraid the Clamoring Jagoff seems to want more than a piece of my “sweet ass” in the ring. I can see how he owns the Ron Jeremy comparison. CJ is just an old, fat, hairy son of a bitch hell bent on self… well you know the rest.  You want to try your luck in the ring with this Desperado? Better get ready for my size 10 Luchese to go right up your bitch ass. And anyone who thinks that cow pile can beat the Stache can get it right along with him.

Watch out cowpie, its CJ hunting season.”

Max makes another appearance and sets up CJ vs the Stache in a no holds barred match as our main event. 

We go back to the ring for more action.  The Uso’s vs New Day members Xavier and Big E Langston w/ Kofi Kingston is next.  New Day comes out dressed like the Varsity Club and they run around and act all goofy like teenagers from a varsity football club would.  In just under 8 minutes, the Uso’s embarrass the heck out of New Day and after Jimmy hit a backbreaker on Big E, it was all over.  Kofi got in the ring trying to complain.  The Varsity Club then hit the ring and chases New Day away.  Jack Swagger said that if New Day wants to run their mouths, the Varsity Club will shut them up.  Max likes this idea and makes another match.  (8 min)

Max is meeting with the Savior and Drew, the CLM and says he was impressed by their first match. He says that it’s not far-fetched to see them hold tag team gold.  Savior and Drew smile and nod to each other.  They shake hands with Max and then leave.

Bella Trio (Nikki, Brea and Taylor) call out the two Women’s champions and Madame Jade and say that they want to kick ass at the PPV so they are challenging (Diva’s Champ) Jupiter Jane, Madame Jade and (Women’s Champ) Southern Belle to a match at the PPV.

Alexander Rusev makes his way out and starts trash talking American wrestlers.  This of course brings out the leader of the Varsity Club Kurt Angle who says he’d be willing to show Rusev how good an Amercian wrestler really is.  Big Show comes out and asks Angle to let him have this match.  Kurt thinks about it and lets Show have the match.  Big Show dominates the match.  Rusev actually tried to leave twice but Kurt Angle remained there and wouldn’t let him leave.  Big Show gets the win in 16 minutes with the Cutting Edge.  Rusev bailed and Kurt joined Big Show in the ring celebrating. 

(During the break, Rusev challenged Angle to a match at Wargames with Russian Chain rules.  Angle accepted.)

The Dust Brothers (Goldust and Stardust) are in the ring and say that they want the Dudley Boys at Wargames.  The Dudley Boys run out and they fight. The Attitude Adjustment (Adam Rose and Abyss) join in the fray and now all 6 are fighting.  The American Wolves also want to see action so they join in and all hell breaks loose.  GM Max McGillicutty comes out to put an end to this and says they all will be in a Fatal 4 way with TLC (tables, ladders and chairs) stipulations at Wargames.  He then orders them all to leave the ring.

Max remains on the stage and lets us know the lineup for Wargames.  He acknowledged X-Factor missing their match and agreed to insert them into the elimination tag match.

It is time for our main event.  This will be a no holds barred match between CJ and the Stache. As we’ve seen over the last few weeks, Stache really doesn’t like CJ and he can’t understand why the fans now flock to him like a moth to a bug zapper.  The Stache says he tells it like it really is and eventually, CJ will show his true colors once again and prove himself to be the ASSHOLE everyone knows him to be.  The Stache comes out first and is booed and the fans throw stuff at him.  CJ comes out next and get cheered (hell is still frozen over).  The two get in the ring and just as the bell rings, the two start throwing everything they have at each other.  CJ starts to get the upper hand and then the Stache grabs the ropes and complains to the ref that CJ is grabbing his match and then whispers that CJ grabbed his butt too.  The ref admonishes him and tells him to get back in the action.  The Stache hits a low blow and then puts the boots to CJ.  After a few minutes, CJ battles back and drops the Stache with a bulldog and a pin attempt but he only gets a 2 count.  CJ then drags Stache out of the ring and tries to whip him into the steps but Stache reverses it and CJ goes crashing into the corner steel post.  He’s busted open.  Stache lays CJ on the Spanish Announce table and then climbs to the top turnbuckle.  He then delivers a B-52 kneedrop onto CJ destroying the table.  Both men are down.  El Chango runs down and rolls Stache back in.  He then rolls CJ in.  He drags Stache over and drapes his arm over CJ.  The ref counts 1…2…KICKOUT.  HOLY CRAP.  Where did CJ find the intestinal fortitude to do this?  El Chango then starts laying the boots to CJ in hopes of wearing him down even more but then CJ does the unthinkable…he begins to HULK UP!.  That is right.  He took a page from Hulk Hogan’s handbook and started to Hulk up. El Chango would hit him and CJ would shrug it off.  After a 3^rd hit, CJ’s eyes go all wide and he points a finger at El Chango.  El Chango goes for a haymaker but it is blocked and CJ nails a standing dropkick that sends El Chango flying out of the ring.  CJ goes after the Stache, who by now has seemed to recover, but Stache drops him with a low blow.  CJ starts the whole Hulk up thing again and this time, the Stache is on the receiving end of a standing dropkick.  Stache got hit so hard that he flew into the corner, over the turnbuckle and smashed his head into the steel post.  He’s bleeding now too.  He wobbles back into the ring and just as CJ is getting ready for the guillotine choke, Stache (he was faking injury but not the blood – that’s real) hits CJ with a loaded boot (he must have had a foreign object in his boot) and then grabs a microphone cord and begins to choke CJ out with it.  CJ struggles but can’t seem to recover.  Stache lets go of the cord and then hooks the leg and gets the 1-2-3.  The Stache wins this one and stands victorious in the ring.  El Chango returns and just as they begin attacking CJ again, the Steel Curtain run out and prevent them from doing any more damage. The Desperados cautiously back away cursing the Steel Curtain.  Buzz and Starbuck look at CJ with skepticism but CJ breaks the tension by extending his hand. Buzz and Starbuck accept the gesture and they all shake hands.  The Steel Curtain then leave to allow CJ to soak in the adulation from his fans as the show comes to an end.  (19 min)

Max comes out at the very end and thanks everyone for attending and he will see us in Kalamazoo, MI for Wargames next weekend. 

Thanks for reading.  The PPV is only a week away.  Stay tuned.

HWF/CSWA Wrestling Newsletter 2015 – #410

Hello fans and welcome back to our newsletter.  GM Max McGillicutty opted to change this up for this show so instead of a Steel Cage match main eventing the show tonight, it will start everything off.   

The steel cage structure is completed and the first team comes out – The Ascension along with MJ.  They are of course booed as they make their way down.  All of a sudden, out comes Undisputed Heavyweight Champion Bray Wyatt.  He walks down to the ring calmly and says something to Viktor and Konnor.  The nod as if agreeing to what Wyatt is saying.  Bray then leaves as the Desperados – the Stache and El Chango come out.  The stop and stare at Bray as he walks to the back and then they resume the walk to the ring.  They are booed just as bad as the Ascension were.  As soon as they enter the cage, their feud resumes.  The 4 beat the holy hell out of each other as they did in their last encounter in the street fight.  This time, no one can interfere.  The cage kept all the action inside the ring but that still didn’t deter Kane from interfering.  At one point, the ref took a bump and went down. Then the Stache climbed to the top of the cage and nailed a B-52 kneedrop.  Kane then came up from under the ring – through the ring - and chokeslammed both El Chango and the Stache.  Kane then dragged his tag team partners over and draped Konnor over El Chango and Viktor over the Stache.  He then went to revive the ref and dragged him over to make the count.  He then disappeared through the hole in the ring.  The ref counted 1…2….and both Desperados kicked out just before the 3 count.  Konnor and Viktor could not believe it and MJ was spazzing out on the outside of the ring.  This was at the 30 minute mark…oh, and by the way, this match has no time limit.  There will be a winner.  The match continued on for another 30 minutes and the Desperados seemed to get more pumped up as the match progressed.  All of a sudden, Kane was in the ring again and this time he threw a fireball in the faces of the Desperados blinding them.  They flailed for a good 5 minutes all the while taking a beating like no other from Viktor and Konnor.  Finally El Chango and Stache seemed to recover enough to take control of the match once again.  By the 60 minute mark, all 4 men were busted open and barely able to stand.  Stache then grabbed Viktor and ran him into the cage wall but then the wall collapsed with both me laying on it (they had not touched the ground but both men seemed to be out while laying on the broken cage wall).  El Chango stopped Konnor from leaving and then choked him on the ropes.  He slingshot him back into the ring and then went for the cover and got the 1-2-3.  Just then, the Stache rolled off the cage wall and dropped to the floor.  The Desperados have won this hellacious match and will go on to Wargames to meet the Tag team champs, the Steel Curtain.  (61 min).  As the cage is being raised, CJ runs in and drops the Stache with a bulldog.  He then runs out before El Chango could do anything.  CJ laughed all the way to the back.

Max was sitting in the back watching the whole match and was just stunned.  “Damn, I’ll give it to them…hell of a match.  Now THAT is how a match should go down.”

After the ring was cleaned up, we were on to our next match between the American Wolves (Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards) taking on the Band (the Axe and Dirk Devon).  For 13 minutes, the Band frustrated the Wolves with constant tagging and delaying the match.  As the Wolves became more frustrated, the Band would capitalize until the Wolves got the upper hand and then we’d start all over again.  However, at the 13 minute mark, the Axe (not the legal man) gets put through the announcers table.  The Wolves then double teamed Dirk and injured him.  Dirk went 5 minutes without any offense.   Axe finally recovered at made the hot tag.  He walked right into the Lungblower from Davey Richards and Richards pinned him clean in the middle of the ring.  After the match, Axe nailed both Richards and Edwards with the Axe and he helped Dirk up.  All of a sudden, the Dudley Boys came out and Axe was caught off guard.  The Dudleys asked the crowd if they thought the Band should go through another set of tables.  Axe was practically dragging a barely conscious Dirk.  Salvation came when the Dust Brothers ran down and after ramming both Bubba and Devon into the corner posts, put them both through tables.  The Dust Brothers celebrated until GM Max McGillicutty came out and said that he was making a match for Wargames and it would be an 8 man tag team match with the American Wolves vs the Band vs the Dudleys vs the Dust Brothers with TLC (tables, ladders & chairs) rules.  Stardust ran around the ring shouting “tables…tables…tables” and would then laugh hysterically.  (18 min for the match; 25 for the segment)

In the back, Undisputed Heavyweight Champion Bray Wyatt cuts a promo:  “We are millions you know. At the drop of the hat there’s another and another and another. At the end of the day, wins and losses are meaningless. It’s not about one single battle. It’s about the entire journey.  The Ascension have a journey ahead of them and surely will be at a crossroads.  The direction they take at those crossroads determines their future.  Follow the buzzards.”

We go back to the ring where Women’s Champion Southern Belle is defending her title against Spider Violet.  This will be a best of 3 falls match.  The first fall went to Spider who, after choking Belle on the top rope, slingshot her into the ring and then rolled her up (with a handful of tights) for the 1, 2, 3.  (12 min).  The second fall went to Belle who, after blinding Spider with a vicious eye rake (fight fire with fire), she rolled her up for the pin.  (6 min)  Before the 3^rd fall could begin, Spider says that she will win the title here and now or she calls it quits.  There are only 12 minutes left on the clock.  The two beat the heck out of each other with the champ taking the lead (I guess Spider was never the same after that eye rake).  Belle went for numerous pin attempts but Spider wouldn’t stay down.  Finally, the clock is ticking down in the final minute of the match.  Violet stuns Belle with a diving knee drop but Belle surprises everyone after she catches Spider unaware with a victory roll and the 1-2-3 just before the clock hit 0.  Southern Belle retains her title and Spider Violet is now out of a job.  Belle extended her hand but Violet snubbed her and walked away (30 min total).

Back in Max’s office, the Enforcers (Ryback, Mark Henry and Samoa Joe) want their 6 man title shot tonight vs the Brethren.  Max says no.  Prestige Inc. hear what is going on and say they want a shot.  Max says no again.  The A-Team (Antonio Cesaro, Adrian Neville, Alberto el Patron) interrupt saying they should get the next shot.  Max says that these 4 teams will fight it out at Wargames and the last team standing will win the 6 man titles.  The X-Factor (Austin Aries, AJ Styles & Christopher Daniels) walk by and question why they are not in this match.  They are, in fact, the #1 contenders and question the Enforcer’s, Prestige’s and A-Team’s claim to this match.  Aries says that they want to cash in their #1 spot tonight but Max says that Kane isn’t here so they are not able to defend the titles and the Ascension just had a hellacious match against the Desperados so they were in no shape to wrestle again.  AJ says fine but next show, they want that match.  Either they will be proven unworthy or will show up to Wargames as the champs.

We go back to the ring for the first of our two World title matches.  Big Show vs Samoa Joe for the CSWA World title is next.  Big Show comes out first and then is followed by the champ.  Show says he will take that belt, represent the CSWA and will then drop Brock Lesnar like a bad habit and take his title too.  Just before the match could begin, HWF World Champion Brock Lesnar comes out and sits at commentary.  Big Show beat the crap out of Samoa Joe.  When the Enforcers saw Joe being mercilessly destroyed, they ran down to the ring to try to cause a distraction but the ref caught on early and then sent them to the back.  While this was going on (Joe was out in the ring from being hit by a knockout punch), Big Show got out of the ring and right into Brock Lesnar’s face.  Show pie-faced Lesnar who kicked Show in the gut and began pummeling him.  He got Big Show up and nailed an F-5 on the floor.   Brock noticed that his clothes got messed up so he left.  After the Enforcers were sent to the back and Lesnar had left, Joe slowly got to his feet.  The ref saw Big Show on the outside and began to count.  He reached 10 and then counted Big Show down and out.  Samoa Joe retains his title via CO decision. (22 ½ min)

Bray Wyatt tells the Ascension that even though they went to hell in their match against the Desperados, they did not live up to their potential and tells them that the Brethren are no longer associated with Bray.  Bray says he will go out and find new family members who will live up to their potential.

It is time for the Main event and our second World title match with HWF World Champion Brock Lesnar defending his title against Dolph Ziggler.  Dolph put up a pretty good fight but in the end was no real match for the Beast Incarnate.  Lesnar toyed with Ziggler for a few minutes and after lulling him into a false sense of accomplishment, nailed an F-5 out of nowhere.  Brock made the power pin and got the win.  Just then, Lesnar’s ‘advocate’ Paul Heyman comes out.  Heyman says that Lesnar took on a real competitor just now and destroyed him.  Brock will do this to Samoa Joe and take the CSWA title and then will put it all on the line against Bray and become the Triple Crown Winnner.  Heyman starts off again singing “Hail, hail Brock Lesssssssssnar…land of the Beast In…car…nate.”  Brock and Paul then left to bring the show to an end.

GM Max McGillicutty came out to thank everyone for attending and said that if the fans want a special treat, he will authorize a Dark Match (a match that is not televised and only takes place for the fans in attendance). 

Max says that EY needs to man up so he is putting him in a match against Phat Sol.  Phat came out to a good pop.  EY was booed but he didn’t seem to care.  EY refused to get in the ring when Phat Sol would walk to the ropes.  EY kept telling the ref to push Sol away.  Finally, after a few minutes of this, Eric finally got in the ring.  EY hit a low blow early on and that set the pace for this match.  When Phat started to make his comeback, EY motioned for someone in the back to come out. That someone is Summer Rae.  Summer came down and while EY was distracting the ref, Summer jumped on Phat Sol’s back and tried to claw his face with her nails.  This brought out Phat’s niece Madame Jade who chased Summer from the ring and fought with her at ringside.  Summer bitch slapped Jade and for a moment, Phat was distracted.  EY then hit a superkick and with his feet on the ropes for leverage, he got the 1-2-3.  EY left right away as Phat was pissed off.  Phat Sol said that he and Madame Jade would team up and Summer could join with EY in getting their asses beat.  EY and Summer headed for the back laughing all the way.  Phat Sol and Madame Jade talked with fans at ringside before calling it a night.  (19 min)

Thanks for reading.  Wargames will be next weekend and our lineup is expected to be announced very soon. Stay tuned.

HWF/CSWA Wrestling Newsletter 2015 – #409

Hello fans and welcome back to our newsletter.   With the hiatus we were on, everyone was able to get their batteries recharged and we are rearing to go as we continue on the road to Wargames. 

The show begins with the Dudley Boys making their way out.  They say how great it is to be back in the CSWA and HWF.  They are interrupted by Stardust who says that while Bubba and Devon were out goofing around on the kiddie playground, he was here working his ass off.   He has had numerous partners in the past but only truly gelled with one.  Stardust introduces his tag team partner …Goldust.  The Dust Brothers are back together and they ATTACK the Dudleys.  The attack is short lived as Bubba and Devon dispatched the brothers pretty quick.  The Dudley’s invited them back in the ring but the Dust Brothers said only on their terms; not the Dudley’s.

As we continue with the semifinals to crown ourselves a new Intercontinental Champion, our first match of the night is CJ taking on Desperados member El Chango.  GM Max McGillicutty comes out and says he wants to up the ante per se and makes this first match a no DQ match.  This one was very evenly matched right up until the end.  The Stache got involved attacking and beating down CJ but the resilient one fought back and held his own.  The Ascension then came out and they immediately attacked the Stache.  El Chango went out to help fight them off and almost got counted out.  El Chango crawled back in just in the nick of time only to get caught in a guillotine choke from CJ.  El Chango had nowhere to go and eventually tapped out.  CJ moves on to the finals. (18 min)

We cut to a commotion in the back where The Ascension brawl with the Tag Team Champs the Steel Curtain but it is broken up quickly.

We go back to the ring for our next semifinals match between Steel Curtain (and one half of the tag team champions) Starbuck Steel and Sonic Blade.  The two competitors shook hands and then went right at it.  Both men looked really good and saw each hit their specialty moves and visit the outside of the ring multiple times.  Blade went for a lot of pin attempts but Starbuck wouldn’t stay down.  Blade then hit an atomic drop and then Starbuck turned around and got hit by the Alhambra attack (tackle).  Sonic Blade made the cover and got the 1-2-3.  He will be going on to the finals against CJ to see who will become the new Intercontinental Champion.  Both men shook hands at the end of the match.  (16 min)

In the back, El Chango and the Stache want the Ascension’s asses in the ring tonight.  They will pay for costing El Chango a chance for singles glory.  GM Max McGillicutty says he already had plans for this match and it will take place later in the show.

Back to the ring for some 6 man tag team action with Robbie E, Rockstar Spud and EC3 taking on the A-Team (Alberto El Patron, Adrian Neville & Antonio Cesaro).  Cesaro came out wearing a mask, not sure why.  This match will be for ranking placement.  It was apparent that the A-Team had nothing to fear on this one and they totally owned their opponents.  About 5 minutes into the match, Cesaro attacks Alberto.  Alberto then yanks off the mask and it’s…Austin Aries!!!  Aries laughs and takes off through the crowd.  The real Antonio Cesaro makes his way out and the match is allowed to continue.  EC3 and team then began triple teaming the A-team on multiple occasions and with Aries popping up in the crowd from time to time, kept the A-team off their game.  Alberto really got fed up with Aries and didn’t see Rockstar Spud sneak up behind him and nailed a flying dropkick.  He nailed Alberto in the back and Alberto went flying and smashed his head on the ring post and he fell back in the ring.  Spud made the cover and got the 1-2-3.  Spud, EC3 and Robbie E get the win and move up in the rankings.  (28 min)

‘Luke Warm’ Lucas Johnston storms out and complains about not being used.  Max comes out and says that Lucas needs to find himself a partner because, at Wargames, he and whomever will agree to partner up with him will meet our new team from the Great White North.  Johnston asks for more details but Max tells him he’ll have to wait.

Tonight will see a lot of titles defended and we start those off with Buff Austin vs Tyler Breeze for the X-Division title.  ‘Main Event’ Buff Austin comes out and of course, complains about not being in the main event.  Breeze makes his way out to a pop from the crowd.  This one was nothing short of a complete beatdown with Austin totally getting owned.  In this match, Buff was totally out wrestled and when he tried to brawl, he was pretty much embarrassed.  Finally, Breeze got tired of toying with Austin and after catching Austin with a superkick, he made the cover and got the 1-2-3.  Tyler Breeze retains his title.  (19 min)

The Miz cuts a promo and says that John Cena is not worthy of a title defense but he will cater to the masses and grant Cena his request.  He tells John that he only gets one shot and he’d better make it work or he’s done.

John Cena makes his way to the ring to the booing from the fans.  I guess that means the Miz will be the one cheered (although he’s really not much better).  Miz comes out flaunting the US title.  Cena immediately goes after Miz but after about 2 minutes, the champ kicked things up a notch much to the delight of the fans.  Miz dominated Cena and after 13 minutes, hits a legsweep facebuster and with a hook of the tights, gets the 1-2-3.  Miz successfully retains his title.  Cena leaves in disgust.

Jay Lethal is in the back and he is dressed in the attire paying homage to his idol Macho Man Randy Savage.  Lethal says that it will be an honor to once again wear gold and representing the North American continent, he promises to do everyone proud. 

It is time for our street fight rules tag team match between the Desperados (El Chango & the Stache) taking on the Ascension (Viktor and Konnor).  No time is wasted as these 4 mean start beating the holy hell out of each other.  They used whatever they could find at ringside including chairs, tables, kendo sticks and the like.  This was a sloberknocker like no other and you could see the hatred these two teams have for each other.  At one point, Kane runs down and joins his teammates in the beatdown of the Desperados.  Just when we thought they were done for, the Tag Team Champions the Steel Curtain run down.  They immediately eliminated Kane and then fought the Ascension.  Starbuck and Buzz then threw Viktor and Konnor out of the ring.  Stache and El Chango didn’t seem happy that the Steel Curtain came down and they started shoving the champs.  Buzz and Starbuck said that they were just trying to help and Stache said they didn’t need their help.  Buzz put his hand on El Chango’s shoulder and got suckerpunched.  Stache then started brawling with Starbuck.  The Ascension (minus Kane) then got back in the ring and all 6 men started trading blows.  The ref decided he’d lost control of this match and called it a double disqualification.  That only made the Desperados that much more pissed off.  The Ascension got tossed out first and then the Desperados leaving the champs in the ring.  GM Max McGillicutty comes back out and says he’d hope that this thing between the Ascension and Desperados would have been rectified tonight but alas, no go.  Max says that they must have a team to take on the Steel Curtain at Wargames so one more match between the Ascension and the Desperados will take place and to avoid any outside interference, it will be in the confines of a steel cage.  (25 min)

It is time for our main event.  Kenta Kobayashi defends the North American title against ‘Black Machismo’ Jay Lethal.  Lethal comes out first to ‘Pomp and Circumstance’ strutting and strolling like Randy Savage used to.   Kenta comes out next and receives a pop also.  Lethal looks to the heavens and dedicates this one to Savage.  For the first 3 minutes, Kenta controlled the pace but after that, Lethal seemed to channel the spirit of Savage and then took total control of the match.  Kenta couldn’t keep up with Jay as he bounced all over the ring.  Kenta goes for the Kenta Rush but it is reversed and Lethal drops him with a missile drop kick from the top rope.  Lethal then climbs the turnbuckle again and drops the Macho Elbow.  The place exploded when he leapt and landed on Kenta.  Jay hooked the leg and the ref counted 1…2…3.  The place explodes again as Lethal is handed the North American title.   A weary Kenta stumbles over and he and Lethal shake hands and hug.  Kenta then leaves and Lethal climbs each of the corner turnbuckles to celebrate with the fans and gets the crowd to do a Macho Man chant. 

With that, the show comes to an end.  Be sure to stay tuned as there is more to follow.

HWF/CSWA Wrestling Newsletter 2015 – #408

Hello fans and welcome back to our newsletter.  It was nice for everyone to get time off and that just so happened to coincide with forensic investigator Gardinia Blue continuing her investigation.  After she completed her task, she reported back to the owners that all anomalies have been sorted out; the books are up to date and free of any other tampering (reminder that former GM’s Master Bull and Hulk Hogan were removed from their posts for tampering with the financials). 

Tonight’s show begins with our 8 finalists squaring off for a chance to become the new Intercontinental Champion.  Tonight will be round one.  The first of those matches is now.

CJ comes out first and surprisingly gets a pop.  His opponent is the Varsity Club’s Frankie Kazarian.  This one on paper looks to be a really good match and to this writer’s surprise, this one wasn’t half bad but we didn’t get resolution as it went to a 20 minute time limit draw.  GM Max McGillicutty came out and said that he doesn’t want this tournament starting off like that and wants to see a winner so he requests the match be restarted.  Just as the ref rings the bell to restart the match, in from the crowd comes the Desperados member the Stache.  Stache hits the ring and attacks CJ resulting in a disqualification.  Stache beats down on CJ and nails a tombstone piledriver.  Stache is booed and he looks confused.  He can’t understand why he’s being booed.  All of a sudden, the fans begin throwing packages of Fruit Roll-Ups at him and he gets pissed off and leaves.  CJ gets helped up and the fans cheer him.  Hell has officially frozen over. (20 ½ min)

New news has surfaced that two new wrestlers from the Great White North will be joining the HWF and CSWA.  They are expected to debut right before or after Wargames depending on them finalizing their existing commitments.

We go back to the ring for our second match which is Steel Curtain member and one half of the tag team champions Starbuck Steel taking on Prestige Inc. member Magnus.   All I have to say here is that Magnus is a much better singles wrestler than Starbuck is.  Magnus totally controlled the entire match.  But regardless of what he threw at Starbuck, Steel just wouldn’t stay down.  As we passed the 19^th minute of the match, Magnus was getting extremely frustrated so he attempted a pretty daring move from the top rope. As Starbuck was getting to his feet, he grabbed the top rope which caused Magnus to fall and land hard on the floor.  Magnus looks hurt.  The ref counted and as soon as he got to 10, he counted Magnus out and awarded the match to Starbuck Steel via countout. (19 ½ min)

In the interview area, John Cena issues a challenge to Ryback for his spot in the US title hunt.  Ryback makes his way over and accepts.

We go back to the ring for our third qualifying match:  Desperado member El Chango (w/ the Stache) vs Sami Zayn.  Sami held his own but El Chango was on fire.  This one came dangerously close to ending in a time limit draw but El Chango managed to hit the Diamond Dust in the last few seconds of the match to secure the win.  He and the Stache were booed as they left the ring.  (19 ½ min)

Big Show talks about how he is next in line for a World title shot against Samoa Joe.  Bobby Lashley walks over and says he wants to challenge Show for his spot tonight.  That match will happen.

John Cena comes out next for his match against Ryback.  If John can pull off a win here, he moves up in the rankings and gets a shot at the Miz and the US title.  For 12 minutes, Ryback and John were practically trading move for move.  Neither could get a leg up over the other.  As Ryback was setting up for a gore, he charged but Cena caught him and nailed the F-U.  He went for the pin but Ryback kicked out at two.  Ryback would throw John out of the ring to catch his breath.   John would hit a suplex and Ryback would hit a powerslam.  John then hit a standing suplex and followed it up with the You Can’t See Me and a Five knuckle Shuffle.  John hooked the leg and got the 1-2-3.  John Cena moves up in the rankings.  John immediately calls out the Miz and challenges him next show for the US title. (22 min)

Madame Jade meets up with Diva’s champion Jupiter Jane and asks if Jane is ever going to give her that title shot.  Jane tries to make excuses but Madame Jade says the women HAVE to show they can perform just as well as the men do and they NEED to cap tonight’s show with a main event for the Diva’s title.  Jane sees her point and accepts the match. 

The last of our first round matches is next with Bobby Roode taking on Sonic Blade.  As expected, Roode controlled this one and kept Sonic Blade on the defensive most of the match.   Roode kept kicking and slapping Blade around and it really wasn’t cool.  Blade’s partner the Nigerian Wraith came out (some say he and Blade look alike).  After Sonic Blade got tossed out of the ring, the Wraith snuck in (he was dressed identically) and took the fight to Roode.  After the Wraith got thrown out of the ring, Blade snuck back in.  A refreshed Blade then threw Bobby out of the ring.  Roode then disappeared under the ring.  The ref, thinking Bobby left the match, counted him out and awarded the match to Sonic Blade.  Wraith, (by this time, he had hopped the railing and was sitting at ringside) climbed back over and celebrated with his tag team partner and they left to the cheering of the fans.  Bobby ended up making his way out from under the ring and tried to complain but it did no good. (14 ½ min)

Taylor Bella approaches Madame Jade and says that she has faith she can beat Jupiter Jane.  She leaves with no other comments.

Next match on the card is Bobby Lashley vs Big Show for Show’s spot in line for the CSWA World title.  Just before the match could begin, the champ Samoa Joe comes out and sits at ringside to scout this one.  Big Show and Lashley immediately began pounding the hell out of each other.  Show then did something that you had to see to believe.  He HURLED Lashley over the top rope and right into the front row (HOLY SHIT - fortunately there was no one around or they would have been squashed).  Bobby gets counted out (you would too after that tremendous feat of strength).  Big Show then looks over at Joe and points to the CSWA title and Show says that belt will be his.  Joe returns the stare and Big Show smirks and leaves.  (3 min for the match; 5 for the segment)

GM Max McGillicutty is interviewed and he says the Desperados (understandably) are becoming disruptive.  Max says that at the next show, the Desperados vs the Ascension will headline the show in a street fight.  The winning team will go on to meet the Steel Curtain at the Wargames PPV.

It is time for our main event.  Tag team partners take the fight to each other in a match for the Diva’s title.  The challenger Madam Jade comes out first.  She is cheered and high fives fans at ringside.  Next, the Diva’s Champion Jupiter Jane comes out and she too is cheered.  The two tag team partners shake hands and the match begins.   Madame Jade must have trained hard for this moment as she totally schooled the champ.  Jade was looking like a superstar and not sure what was going on with Jane.  All of a sudden, out comes Taylor Bella cheering on Madame Jade.   Jade tried to shoo her away saying she doesn’t need her help.  Jane took advantage of the distraction to lock Jade in a tarantula.  Jade had nowhere to go and to avoid too much damage, she tapped out.  Jupiter Jane retains the title.  She exited the ring and Taylor got in and started yelling at Jade.  A shoving match between the two started but ended pretty quickly after Jane went back in and stood by her tag team partner.  Taylor backed off.  Jane and Jade shook hands and then left the ring.  (15 min)

That’s all we have for now.  Stay tuned as the road to Wargames continues.
