HWF/CSWA Wrestling Newsletter 2015 – #424 (Black Friday Edition)

Hello everyone and welcome to our special Black Friday issue.  This show was taped in advance to allow everyone out there to partake in the insanity that is Black Friday.  GM Max McGillicutty comes out and says that the Starcade PPV is officially sold out but can still be viewed on PPV.  He also announces that today’s line up will be 100% managed by Desperado member The Stache.  He cannot hire, fire, suspend or otherwise penalize any employee.  The same will go for CJ when he hosts the next show.  Max then introduces the GM of the Day…The Stache.

The Stache comes out and says that he’s dug deep and he feels he’s come up with a fantastic card that he is sure will see the fans vote him the better manager over CJ.    For now, he’s kicking off the show with the first of 3 matches between the American Wolves and the Steel Curtain.

The Wolves (Davey Richards & Eddie Edwards) come out to a decent pop.  They are then followed by the Steel Curtain (Buzz and Starbuck Steel) who also receive a good pop.  The Stache announces that this will be a no DQ match and we need to see a solid match because whoever wins the titles will be facing the Desperados (El Chango and Leon Teremoto) at the PPV.  Wow…I didn’t think that had been announced yet but…there you have it.

For the first 4 minutes of the match, both teams were evenly matched.  A double team attack on Buzz brought Starbuck in and he nailed a Shooting Star Buck taking both men out.  Starbuck and Davey brawl for a bit before the Desperados (El Chango and Leon Teremoto) come out and attack Starbuck and then take off.  Starbuck drops Davey and both men make the hot tag to their partners.  Buzz charges at Eddie but ends up eating a piggyback stunner.  Eddie showboats before going for the pin but WAIT…Buzz reversed the pin and the ref counted 1-2-3!  The Desperados are STUNNED.  The Stache is STUNNED.  Stache tells his team to head back to the ring but the Steel Curtain take off through the crowd.  The Desperados are pissed off but eventually leave the ring.  (8 min for the match; 12 for the segment)

Match #2 is ready to begin and it is Jeff Hardy taking on the A-Team’s Alberto Del Rio.  X-Factor member ‘The Man’ Austin Aries comes out to sit at commentary and Del Rio is not happy.  Every time Alberto got a run going, Aries would distract him and Hardy would take control of the match.  Finally, Alberto got tired of Aries’ “interference” and got in Austin’s face.  Alberto took a swing at Austin but Aries ducked and slapped the crap right out of Alberto.  Aries then threw Del Rio back in the ring before leaving (the ref never saw any of this).  Hardy drops Alberto with a knee to the gut and then nails a Swanton bomb to get the 1-2-3.  Jeff Hardy is the winner of this match.  (19 min)

CJ comes out and says he has a video he needs to show.  It shows the Stache offering a bribe to the Wolves to take out the Steel Curtain.  Stache also says that the Desperados will do a run in but will only attack the Steel Curtain.  The video ends and CJ is shaking his head.  “Absolute power corrupts absolutely and the Stache is a weasel.  No ifs, ands or buts about it.”  CJ then leaves.

Match #3:  We go right to our next match which has Solomon Crowe taking on Varsity Club member Jack Swagger.  This will be for Crowe’s placement in the X-Division line up.  Swagger maintained control of the entire match but only barely.  Crowe, for a newbie, held his own.  It wasn’t until Swagger tried for a running kneelift and Crowe caught him with a dropkick to the gut that the tide finally turned.  Swagger was holding his stomach in pain and Crowe locked in the stretch muffler.  In the center of the ring, Swagger had nowhere to go so to avoid any further damage, he tapped out.  Solomon Crowe retains his spot.

The Stache is pissed off that his rouse was uncovered so he said that CJ will pay.  The Stache goes to Brock Lesnar and offers to pay him insane amounts of money to destroy CJ.  Brock says he doesn’t have time for such nonsense and slams the dressing room door in Stache’s face.  The Stache’s eyes go all wide as the perfect thought just occurred to him.  He leaves to go follow up on it.

Match #4:  Enforcer member Ryback makes his way to the ring and out runs the Bulgarian Bully Alexander Rusev.  Rusev attacks and beats down on Ryback before throwing him in the ring.  Rusev yells for the bell to be rung.  The attack Ryback received kept him off his game and Rusev controlled the entire match and got the win after hitting the Accolade.  Rusev stands tall over Ryback before leaving.

In the back, Bray Wyatt tells the Stache he wants to wrestle tonight.  He’s heard through the grapevine that the Stache as a surprise for those here tonight and he wants to be a part of it.  “Of course…and I think I found you the best tag team partner.”  Bray starts to laugh and the Stache joins in and both just cackle as the camera goes dark.

Match #5:  Making his way to the ring is Kalisto and he is followed out by the whitest white guy on the planet – Sheamus.  Kalisto never let Sheamus get any offense mounted.  He dominated the Irishman and in just 5 minutes, finished him off with an inverted Indian Deathlock.  Kalisto retains his ranking spot.

The Stache makes his way back out and says that it is time for CJ to have his match.  He calls him out and sends him to the ring. CJ makes his way out and once in the ring asks who his opponent will be.  The Stache (with an evil grin on his face) says he found the best person to CJ to fight and it’s someone who has a history with CJ.  Music hits (Welllllllll, it’s the Big Showwwwww) and out comes the Big Show.  (For those of you who may not remember, CJ and the Big Show feuded over the Hardcore title).  CJ actually looks worried.  Show gets in the ring and at 7’ tall, towers over CJ but he stands his ground.  The bell rings and Big Show immediately grabs CJ by the throat.  He pulls his arm back to deliver a knockout punch…and stops.   CJ then hits Big Show with the lightest punch to the jaw EVER and Show collapses.  CJ makes the cover 1-2-3!  CJ has won the match…what the hell is going on?!?!  CJ hands Big Show an envelope full of cash and Show takes it and leaves.  The Stache is beside himself.  CJ motions to the Omegatron where it shows the Stache once again trying to buy services and Big Show takes the money.  Moments later, CJ sees Big Show and they plot against the Stache.  CJ and Show shake hands and agree Show will do “the job” in exchange for even more money.  CJ leaves through the crowd.

The Stache is left fuming on the stage and then Bray Wyatt’s music hits.  Bray comes out and tells the Stache to let it go as the main event of all main events is now.  Stache shakes it off and accompanies Bray Wyatt to the ring.  Stache gets on the mic and introduces Bray’s tag team partner…John Cena.   Cena comes out and the booing is almost deafening.  Cena gets in the ring.  The Stache then says that tonight marks the return of some familiar faces but they are lacking one thing…a soul.  Bray has stolen their souls and they want retribution.  Music hits and out comes Kane followed by the Undertaker.  The Stache says that this match will be a Buried Alive match.  Bray has promised to put the Brothers of Destruction to rest once and for all.  The Stache says that the winning team must put BOTH of their opponents into the grave.

Thanks for reading.  Stay tuned for CJ’s turn.

HWF/CSWA Wrestling Newsletter 2015 – #423

Hello fans and welcome back to our newsletter. As expected, the Fanfest is sold out for the two days preceding Starcade.  There are a few seats left for the PPV so we expect that 3 day event to sell out extremely fast so act now.

Max McGillicutty comes out to kick of the show.  He says that the show will be chock full of great matches including 2 title matches.   He says that the A-team will defend the 6 man titles against X-Factor and Brock Lesnar vs Kurt Angle for the HWF World title will headline the show.  Max says that he wants to get the show started so he calls out the competitors for the first match.

The show kicks off with Ken Anderson taking on Xavier Woods (from New Day).  Right off the bat, Xavier was beating the holy hell out of Xavier.  I’m not sure how Anderson stayed on his feet.  Xavier got to the point where he was toying with Anderson.  New Day members Big E and Kofi Kingston came out and laughed at Anderson as he was getting trashed in the ring.  Xavier picked up Anderson and while laughing with his teammates, Ken executed a Finley Roll and with a hook of the tights, he gets the 1-2-3.  Anderson bolts out of the ring as Kofi and Big E rush the ring.  Ken is the one laughing now as he makes his way up the ramp.  (11 min)

The Desperados (Leon Teremoto, El Chango and the Stache) are being interviewed and they make fun of the Steel Curtain for losing the tag team titles saying that had they been the champs, they would never have lost the belts.  The Steel Curtain walk in and just before tempers could flair, CJ walks in and gets in the face of the Stache.  He says that he and the Stache have business to take care of in the ring and The Desperados vs the Steel Curtain and CJ would be a good way to get aggression out.  Stache accepts the match and says they’ll see these losers in the ring.

We go back to the ring for our next match.  Sami Zayn comes out to the ring first and then is followed by his opponent Bobby Roode.  Just like in the last match, Roode was destroying Zayn beating him pillar to post.  After showboating for the crowd one too many times, Roode made the same mistake as Xavier did and let his guard down for a split second.  Zayn then hits a wristlock tornado DDT in the center of the ring.  He makes the cover and gets the pin.  Sami Zayn celebrates but Bobby rolls out of the ring and grabs a chair.  Zayn gets a clue and gets out of the ring before Roode can put any hurt on him.   A very pissed off Bobby Roode eventually relinquishes the chair and leaves.  (17 min)

In the back, Paul Heyman is standing with Brock Lesnar.  Paul says that Lesnar doesn’t need to say a word.  He’ll do all his ‘talking’ in the ring and will make Angle ‘just another victim’.

In-Ring action continues with Daniel Bryan vs Randy Orton as our next match.  Bryan comes out first followed by the Viper.   Randy tried to cheat but Bryan just plain out-wrestled the 3^rd generation wrestler.  Bryan kept Randy confused with all the quick moves and Randy just couldn’t keep up with speed Bryan put out.  A reversed RKO was turned into a regal suplex and Bryan hooked the leg for the 1-2-3.  Daniel Bryan secures a win.  (19 min)

The A-Team are interviewed and they say that it’s tough for the X-Factor as they will leave empty handed.  Alberto Del Rio hopes that the X-Factor won’t be crying on their way home.

The Desperados (Leon Teremoto, the Stache and El Chango) make their way out to the ring and are on the receiving end of some pretty strong hatred from the fans.  All that changes when the Steel Curtain and CJ make their way out.  The Desperados (their first time as a 3 man team) took apart the Steel Curtain and CJ.  The Stache took cheap shots where and when he could – especially if CJ was in the ring.  There was lots of triple teaming from the Desperados and they were a very well-oiled machine.  This one went on for 20 minutes until Buzz Steel and the Stache both went over the top rope and to the floor below. Both men seemed fine and both made it back in by the 6 count.  However, CJ was there to greet the Stache and caught him with a superkick.  This stunned the Stache and Buzz hits the Buzz Cut (diamond cutter).  CJ runs across the ring and nails a flying bodypress on to Leon Teremoto.  Starbuck Steel hurls El Chango from the ring.  Buzz makes the cover and gets the 1-2-3.  The Steel Curtain and CJ are victorious.  El Chango and Leon hit the ring and drop the Steel Curtain with chair shots.  They cornered CJ once again ready to take his head off.  They swing…and miss.  CJ jumps out of the ring and drags Buzz and Starbuck out to the floor.   CJ then takes mic. 

“Deeeeeessporados.....you been out here making messes for far too long.....you better come to your senses.....before some one hurts you!!!!  Ohhh you some whiners and cheaters and i know you got your reasons......these dudes you are cheatin are gonna hurt you somehow.....now lets talk the queen of cones, who cant be anyone on the table...you know the hashtag is the best bet!!!! Now it seems to be that starcade has been laid out on the table, and hell in a cell is what youll get!!!! Cones and despeeerados you better come to your senses, dont get into the fences cuz you wont walk out that gate, i bring pain, and death from above you.....the fans never love you, you better hope someone body saves you ...before its toooooo LATE!!!!!!!! CJ out!!!!”  As he drops the mic and yells “gimme my grammy and the damn belt” Hardcore Champion Magnum Kone comes out and drops CJ.  He stands over him and glares at the Stache in the ring.  He holds his title high before leaving.  (23 min for the match; 30 for the segment)

The X-Factor (Austin Aries, AJ Styles & Christopher Daniels) say that the X-Factor are riding high and not only will they take the 6 man titles but they will go after the individual titles and will sit atop the mountain that is professional wrestling and will reign supreme.

Making his way down to the ring for the next match is the Nigerian Wraith and he is accompanied by his tag team partner the Intercontinental champion Sonic Blade.  The Wraith’s opponent is Prestige Inc. member King Damian Sandow and he is accompanied by his tag team partner Magnus.  The former Casey Jones put up a decent fight but was just no match for the veteran Sandow.  As Sandow was choking out the Wraith, Sonic Blade tried to complain to the ref but he ended up eating a forearm smash from Magnus.  Sandow begins to pummel the Wraith with flying fists and then ends up rolling him up for the 1-2-3.  Sandow takes the win and he totally ignores the Wraith as he leaves the ring with Magnus.  (8 min)

In the back, Kurt Angle says that Brock had his chance to win the big one and failed.  He points out that is the difference between an Olympic Gold medalist and a measly NCAA champion.  (SNAP!)  Angle promises to win the title tonight and will go on to face Joe (if he makes it) and Wyatt and become the Triple Crown champion.  “It’s true, oh it’s DAMN true.”

It’s time for our 6 man tag team match with champs the A-team vs X-Factor for the 6 man tag titles.  The time limit on this one is 60 minutes.  Alberto Del Rio and Austin Aries started off the match with a staredown.  All 6 men get to see action and the challengers were the more aggressive.  This did not sit well with the champs.  After 10 minutes into the match, the champs struggled and Del Rio became increasingly frustrated with Cesaro and Neville.  While Aries was brawling with Del Rio on the outside and AJ and Cesaro were fighting, Christopher Daniels nails Adrian Neville with the Angels Wings but Neville was close enough to the ropes to roll out of the ring.  Neville ends up getting counted out and X-Factor win the match but not the titles.  Del Rio and Cesaro grabbed Neville and hauled him to the back.  (25 min)

Max McGillicutty comes back out and says that for our main event, it will be a 60 minute time limit best of 3 falls match.  He introduces Kurt Angle first who comes out to his music and the fans chant “You Suck” along to his music.  Max then introduces the HWF World Champion and Brock Lesnar makes his way out to the ring accompanied by Paul Heyman.   Paul has a mic and tells everyone that while it’s nice to be cheered, Brock is NOT here to be cheered but to get business done so that he can best prepare himself for his match at the PPV.  Just before the match could begin, Bray Wyatt makes his way out and sits at commentary.  Brock MANHANDLED the Olympic hero beating him from pillar to post.  Kurt got some offense in but it did nothing to stop this locomotive running over him.  After Brock got done choking Kurt on the ropes, he slingshot him off and then pinned him in the ring to score the first fall. (17 min)  The second fall begins automatically and now we get to see the Kurt Angle of old.  He exploded on Brock and would not let the champ even get to his feet.  Brock gets in a lucky shot that sends Kurt to the outside of the ring where he lands awkwardly on the floor.  Brock follows him out and nails an F-5 on the floor.  An exhausted Brock crawls back into the ring where he waits for the 10 count bringing this fall to an end.  Kurt Angle is counted out and Brock wins this fall winning the match and retaining his title.  (10 min)

As Kurt is being helped to the back, Heyman gets on the mic again and says “I TOLD you so.”  He then breaks out in song (Hail, Hail Brock Lesnar) as the show comes to an end.  Eventually Brock and Paul leave the ring.

GM Max McGillicutty comes out with two final announcements. One, the matches between the Steel Curtain and the American Wolves will be dropped to a best of 3 instead of 5.  This will give the winning team time to rest and recup before their match at the PPV.  Second, he thought about it and says he wants to allow both CJ and the Stache have another “battle” per se.  He wants them to run their own shows.  They get to pick the lineups AND they get to pick an opponent for each other.  The Stache gets the first show on Black Friday and CJ will get the following show.  Following both shows, the fans will get to vote on which show they thought was the best.

Stay tuned as things are taking an interesting turn.

HWF/CSWA Wrestling Newsletter 2015 – #422

Hello fans and welcome back to our newsletter.   As we get closer to our final PPV of the year, Starcade, things are definitely ramping up.  GM Max McGillicutty is in his office and says that Starcade will in fact be a 3 day event that will be preceded by a fan fest.  Those tickets for the fanfest are now on sale and are expected to sell out quickly so if you want to attend, you best jump on that now.

Pyro kicks off the show as the Desperados (the Stache and El Chango) make their way out to the ring.  The Stache takes a mic and says that he has gotten both CJ and Magnum Kone right where he wants them.  CJ will walk out as the Hardcore champ and there is nothing anyone can do about it.  He then turns to El Chango and hands him the mic.  El Chango says that while CJ is pursuing his vengeance against those who’ve wronged him, he feels the need to get back in the action but not as a singles competitor.  El Chango says that he’s spoken to their leader Bray Wyatt and he’s allowing them to bring another member into the Wyatt family.  El Chango introduces….Leon Teremoto.  Leon comes out and is booed pretty heavily.  He doesn’t seem to care though.  For those of you “old-schoolers” out there, he had a close resemblance to Dutch Mantel.  If you don’t know who that is, look him up (you’ll be in for a treat).  Leon takes the mic and thanks the Stache and El Chango for allowing him to become part of the team.  He says that even though the Stache has unfinished business that will take him to Starcade and maybe beyond, the Desperados need to re-assert themselves as a dominant tag team.  He asks El Chango to allow him to team up and El Chango accepts.  Leon then throws out a challenge against the Canadians.   He wants to see how well he works with the Great El Chango. 

Their opponents, the Savior and Drew, the Canadian Love Machine make their way down to the ring.  The match starts off with a bang with Leon and El Chango hitting the Canadians with double powerbombs on the floor injuring them.  The Desperados seemed to get the upper hand but couldn’t capitalize on it.  Drew and the Savior battled back and started taking it out on the hides of the Desperados.  The Stache made his way over and distracted the ref.  Leon blasted Drew with a chair shot and El Chango took him down with a flying spinning heel kick.  El Chango makes the cover and gets the win.  Stache joins his team in the ring and they stand victorious before leaving.  (11 min)

HWF World Champion Brock Lesnar, via satellite, says he’s unbeatable and will accept any challenge.  Kurt Angle walks by and turns and says he will challenge Brock.  This match will take place next week.

We head to the ring for our next match which is a non-title match between Jay Lethal and Kevin Owens.  This one was not only a battle of wits but a knock-down drag-out fist fight.  Lethal and Owens went toe to toe for a good solid 15 minutes but after Lethal missed with a Macho elbow drop, things went Owens’ way.  Kevin kicked things up a notch and began beating down on Lethal.  Owens goes for a Canadian stomp but Lethal reverses it and goes for a double axe handle smash but that gets reversed and Kevin hits Lethal with a nasty heabutt dropping the champ.  Kevin scurries up the turnbuckle and nails a moonsault.  SPLAT!...right on Lethal.  Kevin makes the cover and gets the 1-2-3.  Kevin takes the mic and says he will meet Lethal at Starcade and this time, the belt will be on the line. (20 min)

In the back, there is a knock on the dressing room door for the Desperados.  A man introduces himself as a representative for some brands who have an interest in the Desperados.  He enters the room and explains that new sponsors have stepped up and like the new attitude of the Desperados.  The representative says that the time for “kiddie” sponsorship is over and it’s time for some grown up action.  He says that “Bullet Bourbon”  and “Old West Tobaccer” are willing to pay handsomely for the Desperados to accept the sponsorship.  The Stache accepts and the representative said that Leon is also included in this.  (Gee, Leon gets accepted into a new group and already has sponsors).  All 4 men shake hands as the rep sits down and pulls out the contract.  The door then closes.

We head back to the ring for a title match between the champion the Miz vs Phat Sol for the US title.  Phat Sol makes his way to the ring cheered by the fans.  The Miz then comes out and power walks to the ring.  He says on the mic that he only needs 15 minutes to defeat Phat.  He doesn’t waste any time and goes right after Phat.  Phat easily holds his own and shrugs off most of the offense from Miz.  Phat Sol outwrestled the Miz and before we knew it, the 15 minute time limit bell rang.  The ref calls this one a time limit draw and Phat celebrates as he lasted longer than Miz expected.  The Miz gets all kinds of pissed off and attacked Phat.  Sol battled back and nailed the Phat’s Enough and Miz was dumped out of the ring.  Phat gets on the mic and says that if Miz wants to settle this, they can do it in the ring and the title will be on the line once and for all.  Miz hollers he wants this and agrees.  (15 min for the match; 20 for the segment)

We cut to the back where the Tag Team Champions the Steel Curtain are talking about their match tonight.  They are defending the titles against the American Wolves and are confident they will walk out with the belts intact.  GM Max McGillicutty walks over and says that their match will be a best of 3 falls/60 min time limit match.  They are ok with that.

Women’s Champion and member of the Beautiful People Angelina Love comes out and says she will defend the Women’s title against Gail Kim and once she’s done with Gail, she’ll move on to Paige and then the rest of the roster.  Once she’s defeated them all, she will be the Best there is, best there was, best there ever will be.  She gets booed for that.  Gail then makes her way out to the ring.   Angelina immediately attacked Gail but Kim took the fight and the match to the champ.  Gail threw Angelina around like a rag doll.  Just as Angelina was mounting a comeback, former champion and member of the Beautiful People Southern Belle made her way out.  Angelina stopped in her tracks and started to yell at her former teammate.  Southern Belle waltzed around the ring ignoring the champ.  This gave Gail the perseverance to continue.  Gail bounced up and hit the champ with a Christo.  She then rolled Angelina up and scored the 1-2-3.  Gail Kim has just become the NEW Women’s Champion.  (18 min)

CJ makes his way to the ring and asks for a mic.  “The queen of cones, the stache, a wrestlers who resembles the 70s version of crotchless panties..... and now a masked new comer all after 1 man.......in the heart and soul of country music a rap battle....believe me the former hash tag is not amused...as a matter of fact he's down right pissed....I've never been 1 to back down... as a matter of fact I welcome any and all challenges...now some no name masked mark is trying to use the #hash tag# as his intro to THE MOST ELECTRIFYING program in ALL of sports entertainment...are you serious?????  I don't know who you.....and neither does anyone else!!!!  But if you think you can rush the #hashtag# from behind you've got another thing coming to you...as a matter of fact you have #CJ now coming for you!!!!  So you better run and hide and keep that little thong over you face,  because I promise you I will find you and I will beat you from pillar to post in the ring and all around the arena! CJ out.”  (drops the mic). 

The Desperados come out and surround CJ in the ring.  They all jump in to attack and out comes the Steel Curtain for the save.   The Stache, El Chango and Leon Teremoto all end up backing away. 

GM Max McGillicutty comes out and says that the Steel Curtain needs to remain in the ring for their next match where they will defend the Tag Team titles against the American Wolves.  Buzz and Starbuck Steel remain in the ring while the Wolves (Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards) make their way to the ring.  Max says that this match will be best of 3 falls with a 60 minute time limit.  The first fall goes to the Wolves in 14 minutes after Eddie nailed Buzz with a piggyback stunner.   The next round goes to 20 minutes and after shaking off the rust, the champs exploded on the challengers and Starbuck hits Davey with a Starplex and rolled him up for the pin.  That left 26 minutes left in our one hour time limit match.  Max comes back out and says that the final fall will have a Falls count anywhere stipulation.  The Desperados made their way back out and while Leon Teremoto distracted the ref, El Chango and the Stache blasted both Buzz and Starbuck with steel chairs.  After beating the champs down, they threw Buzz back into the ring.  The final fall goes 16 minutes and after connecting with a backpack chinbreaker, Eddie Edwards rolled Buzz Steel up for the 1-2-3.  The American Wolves have just become the NEW TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS.  As the Wolves are in the ring celebrating, Max comes back out and is visibly pissed off.  He gets on the mic and has security remove the Desperados from the building.  Just as the Desperados are leaving, CJ runs back out and takes out both El Chango and Leon Teremoto with a chair.   Max sends CJ away too.  Max says that he is tired of interference causing belts to change hands.  Max says that he did not want to see the Wolves win dirty so he is immediately holding the belts up and the Wolves are not happy.  Starbuck gets on the mic and says that Max just needs to allow them to have one more match; one fall takes all.  If the Steel Curtain lose, they will bow out gracefully and will start over to work themselves back up the ranking HOWEVER, if they win, then their loss is erased from the books and they continue their streak.  Max agreed and we have one final confrontation.

By the time the bell rang, all 4 men looked worn and beaten.  Even though all of them were exhausted, this match went the FULL distance and the bell ends up ringing at the 30 minute mark and this one ends in a time limit draw.  The fans gave all 4 men a standing ovation.  As all 4 men are being helped from the ring, Max once again takes the mic and declares that there will be a Best of 5 Series taking place between these two teams and the winning team will be crowned as the new champions.  With that, the show comes to an end.

Thanks for reading.  Stay tuned for more action.

HWF/CSWA Wrestling Newsletter 2015 – #421

Hello fans and welcome back to our newsletter.  Today’s issue comes to you live from Nashville, TN.  GM Max McGillicutty comes out to kick off the show thanking fans for selling out tonight’s show.  Max says that Starcade is now only a month away and is shaping up to be a 5 star card.  He reminds the fans here and on TV that there are still tickets remaining but if they can’t attend live, they can join via PPV.  He then kicks off the show.

The show begins with the ‘One Man Band” Heath Slater taking on the Shield’s Dean Ambrose.  Ambrose had control of the match but only barely.  Slater must have really wanted to add a win to his record and he pulled out all the stops to make that happen.  Ambrose made a fatal decision when he tried to go for the Dirty Deeds too early and Slater dropped him with a reach-back neckbreaker.  He then picked up Ambrose and hit a jumping Russian leg sweep and rolled him up for the 1-2-3.  Heath Slater gets a win and just as he celebrates, Shield members Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns hit the ring and take Slater out.  Dean was pissed and continued to beat down on Slater and when he was softened up, he nailed the Dirty Deeds.  The Shield stand tall in the ring and are booed.  They then leave as medical comes from the back to help Slater.  (19 min for the match; 25 for the segment)

Back in the interview area, The Miz says he wants Phat Sol in the ring and doesn’t care if he has to put his title on the line.  Max interrupts him and asks if he wants this done at the PPV.  Miz says he wants him now and not later.  Max says the match will happen.

We go back to the ring for our next match which is a non-title match between X-Division Champion Tyler Breeze vs Sting.   Breeze started off strong but then as Sting found his rhythm, he took the match to the champ.  Sting beat down on Breeze but to the champ’s credit, he kept kicking out.  Sting was astonished after Tyler kicked out of the Scorpion Death Drop and powered out of a Scorpion Death Lock.  However, those moves and the time spent on the defensive weakened Breeze.  As Breeze struggled to his feet, Sting nails a flying dropkick and covers him for the 1-2-3.  Sting gets the win and after grabbing a mic, says that this makes him the top contender for the X-Division title.  Sting calls down the GM and says that he wants to fulfill his title shot at Starcade.  Max agrees and says that one has been added to the books.  (20 min)

We go back to the interview area where North American Champion Jay Lethal is being interviewed.  Jay Lethal says that Kevin Owens talks a big game.  Maybe he should put his money where his mouth is.   Owens walks in and accepts and says that at the next show, Lethal gets his wish.  Kevin then walks away.

We go back to the ring for a tag team placement match between the Wolves (Davey Richards & Eddie Edwards) taking on the Band (the Axe & Dirk ‘the Pick’ Devon).  This was another interesting match which saw the Wolves really tear the Band apart but Dirk and the Axe keep tagging in and out and breaking up all possible pin or submission attempts.  Just as we were approaching the time limit, the Canadian Express (The Savior and Drew, the Canadian Love Machine) make their way out.  Dirk and the Axe get distracted and Davey capitalizes by nailing the Axe with a headbutt and Eddie dropkicks Dirk from the apron.  Davey makes the cover on the Axe and gets the win just seconds before the time limit ran out.  The Wolves take off as a pissed off Band recuperates in the ring.  Dirk says that the Band should have won that if not for the interference from these cannuck schmucks.  Drew says the Band interfered in their business and says it’s only fair for them to kick the Band’s ass.  Axe laughs at him calling him a little man.  Drew says the bigger they are, the harder they fall and proceed to beat down on the Band until they run away.  Savior says the time for salvation is at hand.  They will save the Band…from themselves. (29 1/2 min)

Jupiter Jane says she can’t believe that they allowed Raquel to just waltz out and insert herself whenever and wherever into a match.  She says she will defend her title tonight against whomever wants a shot.

Back in the ring is our next match.  Rockstar Spud and Robbie E are already there and awaiting their challengers and out comes the Dust Brothers (Goldust and Stardust).   Robbie E and Spud beat down on the brothers for a good 15 minutes softening them up.  I guess with their time apart, the Dust Brothers weren’t exactly in tip top shape.  However, a botched bodyslam from Robbie allowed the Dust Brothers to find their groove and prove they are a well-oiled machine.   Finally, Goldust got tired of this and ran Robbie’s head into the post practically knocking him out.  He rolled him up for the 1-2-3.  The Dust Brothers are victorious.  They then leave the ring.  (22 min)

Prestige Inc members Sandow & Magnus say they need to dive head first into the tag team title hunt and tonight, they take on Enforcer members Ryback and Henry. 

Diva’s Champion Jupiter Jane comes out and says she will take on ANYONE for tonight’s match.  There was a bit of confusion though when Taylor Bella, Madame Jade, and Cactus Jackie all came out at the same time.   Max came out and said that there would be a mini battle royal between the 3 ladies and the last one standing gets the shot tonight.  Jackie was eliminated first and that left Jade and Taylor to battle it out.  Taylor reached into her bag of tricks but Jade caught on and threw Taylor from the ring…just not over the top rope.  Thinking she’d won it and started celebrating early, Taylor snuck back in and eliminated Jade.  So I guess the match will be between Taylor and Jane.

This one didn’t go very long as Taylor seemed to have hurt herself during that battle royal however it didn’t stop her from nailing a sitout facebuster on the champ and rolling her up for the 1-2-3.  Taylor Bella becomes the NEW Diva’s Champion in only 4 minutes.  She didn’t have time to celebrate as Ravishing Raquel came out and dropped her with the Simply Ravishing.  Raquel said she’d met Taylor at the PPV…if she can even last that long.

It is time for our main event.  Prestige Inc. members ‘the King’ Damian Sandow and & Magnus are taking on the Enforcers’ own Ryback and Mark Henry.   The Enforcers were not going to lay down for Prestige and they showed it.  They dismantled Sandow and Magnus and even attempted interference from Reid Rothchild did nothing to dampen the power we saw in that ring.  Ryback destroys Magnus with a powerbomb and then makes the cover for the 1-2-3.  The Enforcers win this on in seemingly easy fashion.  The Steel Curtain better beware.  (25 min)

GM Max McGillicutty comes out one last time to thank the fans for attending but before they leave, he has one last treat for them.  He calls out CJ first.  CJ heads to the ring.  Max then calls out the Stache and sends him to the ring.  Max says the two of them need to have a non-confrontational face off and tells them to figure something out.  The Stache says the two can have a rap battle.  CJ agrees (yes, a rap battle in the heart of the home of Country Music – not surprisingly, EVERYONE stayed).  The Stache went first and did ok.  CJ then took the mic and brought it home.  He had the fans exploding out of their seats.  The Stache got pissed and tried to charge at CJ.  CJ sidestepped him and allowed him to go flying out of the ring.  The Stache fumed on the outside as CJ rapped some more with the fans before bringing this one to a close.  As the Stache backed himself up the ramp, a masked man ran out and beat on CJ before quickly leaving. CJ chased after both men.

HWF/CSWA Wrestling Newsletter 2015 – #420

Hello fans and welcome to our Friday the 13^th special issue.   The show begins with a 19 person Diva’s battle Royal but only 18 have shown up.  Here is how it went down.

It looks like Madame Jade is going to be the winner but our mysterious 19^th person has finally shown up…Ravishing Raquel returns and she gets an unexpected pop.  She rushes the ring where she and Jade battle for 8 ½ minutes until…

Madame Jade (f) was eliminated by Ravishing Raquel (f) with TOSS OVER TOP ROPE after 9 minutes

Ravishing Raquel wins this one in her return to the squared circle.  She takes the mic and reminds us that winning this entitles her to a title shot.  She calls out Diva’s Champion Jupiter Jane and says she’ll cash in at the PPV.  It doesn’t matter who has the title between now and then; she’s walking out the champ.

GM Max McGillicutty comes out and says that this was a HELL of a way to start off the show.  He says that he expects the rest of the show to meet or exceed the level of excellence we just saw.  On to our next match.

North American Champion Jay Lethal vs Curtis Axel is up next.  This one goes just under 7 minutes and ends with Axel getting counted out of the ring after he got upset and walked out of the match.  Kevin Owens then appeared on stage with a mic and said that Jay Lethal is a phenomenal champion but he has not meet him yet.  He promises that if Lethal gets in the ring with him, Lethal will walk out 10 pounds lighter.  Lethal invites him down but Owens says “when the time is right.”  Owens then leaves.

Phat Sol is in the interview area and he was asked why he decided to mess with the Miz.  “I came to the HWF and CSWA to defend the honor of my niece.  I did that.  Now it’s time for me to do my own thing and that is go after a title.  The Miz is a big name here and when you enter someone’s yard uninvited, you’d better prepare for a fight.   I’m preparing for a fight against the US Champion.  Miz, I’m here.”

We go back to the ring for our next match.  First, out comes Band member The Axe.   He is followed out by Elitist Champion Reid Rothchild.  Reid is accompanied by Ravishing Raquel who flaunts her briefcase with a contract in it.  She shows off the contract showing it’s been signed (she’s smart not to make the same mistake CJ did back in the day).   The Axe starts off with hitting Reid with the Axe and nearly taking his head off.  Axe then controlled the match and barely gave Reid any breathing room.  There is a commotion from the crowd as the Canadian Express (the Savior and Drew, the Canadian Love Machine) hit the ring and attack the Axe.  The ref rings the bell disqualifying Reid (he didn’t care as he was getting destroyed).  Reid took his title, grabbed Raquel and then left.  Axe tried to fight off both Drew and the Savior but eventually succumbed.  Dirk Devon then ran out to assist but all he did was pull Axe from the ring to avoid any further beatdown.  He helped his partner from the ring and never looked back.  The Savior and Drew celebrated in the ring before leaving.  (7 min)

Music hits and the lights go out.  An eerie blue light highlights the ramp.  A tall dark figure wearing a trenchcoat and large hat makes his way to the ring.  The fans know who this is and start chanting “Undertaker…Undertaker.”  The figure holds up a hand and then drops all but one finger.  He’s flipping off he crowd.  He removes the hat and its…John Cena.  Cena says all the fans were duped and he really pulled one over on them.  He laughs until the lights go out again but are on moments later and standing in the ring behind John is…the Undertaker.   John looks scared until he drops the Undertaker with a kick to the gut.  He laughs again saying the fans are morons and they fell for it again.  He keeps on laughing as *GONG* sounds over the loudspeakers and this time, out comes the REAL Undertaker.  Cena stands his ground as Taker enters the ring.  Taker walks up to Cena who says “It’s all a joke man” and then Undertaker grabs Cena by the throat and chokeslams him.  Taker drags his thumb across his throat calling for the tombstone piledriver but Cena quickly gathers his wits and rolls out of the ring.   Taker points to a sign in the rafters that reads “STARCADE” and then points to himself and then to John.  The *GONG* sounds again and Cena nearly jumps out of his skin.  Cena retreats up the ramp while the Undertaker stares at him and then eventually leaves.

It is time for another title match with Mike Bennett requesting his match against Hardcore Champion Magnum Kone.  Both CJ and the Stache are banned from ringside with the stipulation that if they interfere in any way, they will lose their spot at the PPV.  The ref announces that this will be boot camp rules.  Bennett pulled out all the stops but try as he might, he couldn’t keep the King of Cone’s shoulders down for the 3 count.  At one point, Bennett reversed an Ice Cream Sandwich and went for a dropkick which was reversed and Kone hit the ICS anyway.  The crowd popped for it.  Mike started wailing on Magnum with Big Right Hands but the bell rang bringing this one to a 30 minute draw.  Kone takes his title and leaves.

Back in the interview area, Tyler Breeze explains why he took out Sting.  “Sting, it doesn’t matter if you opted to stay out of the IC tournament or not.  The fact of the matter is:  I was the #1 contender.  Not you.  You weren’t even a blip on the radar but because the sheep want to see you, management gives you the preferential treatment.  I tell you what:   You want a piece of me for what I did?  Fine.  However, I am the X-Division Champion.  You want me in the ring, you’d better make it worth my time.  I don’t wrestle for free so pony up.  I’ll let you decide what you think is right.”  Breeze then walks off camera.

It is time for the main event.  Kurt Angle comes out first and introduces his team:  The Varsity Club.  Bo Dallas…Frankie Kazarian…and Jack Swagger.  The Varsity Club enter the ring and pace as they wait for the champs.  They don’t wait long as the A-Team (Alberto del Rio, Adrian Neville & Antonio Cesaro) all make their way out.  They flaunt the titles in front of the fans and mock them as they head to the ring.  Swagger is immediately triple teamed and beaten down and kept in the A-Team’s corner.  They would not allow him to make a tag.  When he got close, someone would take the ref’s attention away so that he could not see the tag.  Del Rio did a lot of the work and then tagged in Antonio Cesaro.  Cesaro beat and wore down Swagger till he could barely stand.  Cesaro then nailed a gutwrench suplex and while mocking the rest of the Varsity Club, got the 1-2-3.  The A-Team are victorious in defending their titles.   The show comes to an end with the A-Team prancing around the ring with their titles.

That is all for now.   Stay Tuned for more action.

HWF/CSWA Wrestling Newsletter 2015 – #419

Hello fans and welcome back to the action.  GM Max McGillicutty is back running the show and says that Ric Flair and, to some degree Zack Ryder, did a decent job filling in but at the end of the day, this show is his responsibility and only he answers to the owners on why a show succeeds or fails.  Max says that tonight, in the main event, Miz will be defending the US title against Abyss.  The Tag Team Champs the Steel Curtain will also be in action.  Magnum Kone vs CJ will also be on the card.  Now, it’s time for the show to kick off.

Tonight’s show begins with Madame Jade taking on Cactus Jackie.  It’s worth noting that Diva’s Champion Jupiter Jane has not been accompanying her tag team partner to the ring.  This reader seems to think that these two may be on the outs.  Cactus Jackie is in the ring and she rubbing her eyes and saying “boo hoo…I don’t have a partner anymore.  Boo hoo.  You know what Jade, I don’t need a partner.  I am this good on my own.  I don’t need anyone holding me back or taking credit for my work.  I win based on just how damn good I am.”  Jade takes the mic from her.  “Prove it bitch.”  This one went a pretty long distance with Madame Jade controlling the bulk of the match.  Just when Jackie would start an offensive run, Jade just shut her down.  At the end of the match, Jackie threw Jade to the ropes and Jade hopped up on the second rope, quickly turned and caught Jackie with a flying dropkick.  Jade makes the cover and gets the win.  Madame Jade celebrates her win.  (17 min)

Taylor Bella is in the back and she runs into Beautiful People member Madison Rayne.  Rayne makes fun of her because none of the Bellas hold gold whereas Beautiful People member Angelina Love is the Women’s Champion.   Taylor replies and says that makes Rayne a loser since she doesn’t hold gold.  Madison started to get ticked off.  Velvet Sky and the Women’s Champion then joined Madison but then Nikki and Brea joined their sister and the 6 women had a staredown.  Taylor says that the Beautiful People should take on the Bellas and see really who the better team is.  Velvet speaks for her team and says “Anytime, Anywhere”.  Brea Bella says “then tonight is the night.  You better be ready.”  Both teams then separated.

Our next match on the card is 6 man tag team competition with the Varsity Club taking on the Shield.  The Shield’s ranking in on the line here.  Jack Swagger reminds everyone that they took the A-Team, perhaps one of the best 6 man teams in the HWF and CSWA to the time limit.  If they can stand toe to toe with them, the Shield should be a cakewalk.   Kurt Angle walks down and sits at ringside watching his team.  For 8 minutes, the Varsity club looked like they struggled and then Swagger and Bo both get injured at the hands of Reigns and Rollins incapacitating them for 3 minutes.  Frankie Kazarian, though, held his own.  He cleaned house against the Shield and held them at bay until Swagger and Bo recovered.  Swagger was pissed and after making the hot tag, turned up the heat against the Shield.  Even Bo Dallas got in some great shots.  As time went on, the Shield struggled more and more but constant saves kept the team alive.  All of a sudden, the bell rings signaling the time has run out.  The Varsity Club OWNED the Shield and after the match, Reigns, Rollins and Ambrose slunk away.  Angle celebrated with his team in the ring but then Kurt called out GM Max McGillicutty.  Kurt said that the Varsity Club stood toe to toe with the best and if not for a time limit draw, they would have beaten their teams.  Kurt asks for the Varsity Club to get a shot at the champs the A-Team.  Max thinks about it and says he agrees and will give the next title shot to the Varsity Club. While the Varsity Club celebrates in the ring, the A-Team (Antonio Cesaro, Alberto del Rio and Adrian Neville) run in from the crowd and drop the Varsity Club. The Champs surround Angle who goes on the offensive but the numbers overwhelm him.  After the A-Team finished beating down Kurt, they stood holding their titles high in the ring.  (30 min for the match; 35 for the segment)

Sting is in the back being interviewed about his match against IC Champion Sonic Blade.  Sting says that Tyler Breeze cost him the title and says that if he was really a man, he’d face him in the ring and then we’d see who the better man really is.

Hardcore Champion Magnum Kone heads to the ring and no longer associates with the fans.   It’s interesting to note that since his heel turn, Kone has been on a losing streak.  I guess not having the fans cheer and support him has really affected his game.  Kone’s opponent CJ comes out next and gets a pop.  CJ makes his way to the ring but before he can enter, new music hits and the Stache comes out on stage dressed in a referee shirt.  Stache says that he has been granted permission to be the special guest referee for this match and promises to call it right down the middle.  Stache walks by CJ and gets in the ring.  Magnum gets in the Stache’s face and tells him he better not screw him or he’d tear him limb from limb.  Stache puts his hands up in a “who me?” gesture.  We all know that the Stache has it in for CJ but he also wants that hardcore title. For 10 minutes, the Stache stood back and just let Magnum beat on CJ.  Finally, he broke it up and Magnum got into the Stache’s face.  CJ regained his composure and went on the offensive.  CJ dazzled Magnum with kicks, lefts and rights and put the champ on the defensive.  Just towards the end of the match, Kone whipped CJ into the corner but the Stache *seemed* to purposely get in the way and crashed to the mat.  Kone then set up CJ for the popsicle and nailed it but the Stache was down and could not make the count.  Magnum goes over and shakes the Stache to wake him up.  Stache, not remembering where he was lashed out catching Magnum in the face with a kick.  Kone wobbled backwards and CJ locked in a guillotine choke.  Magnum was fading but not fast enough for the Stache’s liking.  He raised Magnum’s hand once (it dropped), a second time (dropped again) and then the third time, it didn’t fall and just went it seemed Magnum was going to recover, Stache forcibly pulled Magnum’s arm down and awarded the match to CJ via submission.  Stache then ends up attacking both CJ and Magnum but the two opponent’s battle back and hurl Stache from the ring.  CJ then turns to Magnum and sends him sailing.  Everyone eventually leaves the ring. (17 min)

The Steel Curtain (tag team champs) are in the back and they say that tonight, they take on their old nemesis the Ascension and once and for all will drive them out of the tag team scene.

Next we have Gail Kim challenging Paige for her placement.  Paige should be next in line for a shot at the Women’s title but only if she can hold off the challenge from a former champ.  This had to be one of the closest matches as far as how even these two were in recent memory.  Both women traded blow for blow and stood their ground.  Paige goes for a fishermans’ suplex but Gail powers out and locks in a dragon sleeper right in the middle of the ring.  Paige taps out awarding the match and the next title shot to Gail Kim.  (11 min)

Just as Gail is getting ready to leave, the Beautiful People (Angelina Love, Velvet Sky & Madison Rayne) come out and interrupt her.  Love says that it doesn’t matter who her next opponent will be, her title isn’t going anywhere.  Gail leaves just as the Bella Trio (Nikki, Brea & Taylor) all make their way out.  The smack talk changes from insulting Gail to insulting the Bellas.  The Bellas immediately go on the offensive but the Beautiful People bail.  Finally the match begins.  The Beautiful People controlled the tempo of the match and kept Taylor sequestered from her sisters. Just as Taylor was going to score a pinfall on Madison, Angelina causes a distraction and the ref shifts his gaze for only a moment. Velvet pulls Madison out of the ring and sneaks in and rolls Taylor up.  The ref turns to see a pin attempt and slaps the mat 3 times awarding the match to the Beautiful People.  Madison, Velvet and Angelina all quickly leave the ring laughing while Taylor tries to explain Velvet was not the legal person.  The ref throws up his hands and just leaves.  Taylor is steaming.  The Bella’s calm their sister down and whisper in her ear.  Her anger subsides and a smile appears.  They then leave.  (8 min)

The US Champion the Miz says that ever since he defeated John Cena, his career has been skyrocketing (actually, he hasn’t defended the title since).  Miz says that Abyss will feel exactly what Cena did…the taste of defeat.  He then laughs.

Back to the ring for more action.  The Ascension (Konnor & Viktor) come out first with MJ and MJ takes the mic and says that tonight the Ascension take back what is rightfully theirs – the tag team titles.  He is interrupted when the champs the Steel Curtain (Buzz & Starbuck Steel) come out.  The champs hit the ring and MJ bails.  This one doesn’t get to go very long as MJ stuck his nose where it didn’t belong.  Thinking he was doing his team a favor, he grabbed a steel chair and threw it to Konnor.  Konnor grabs the chair but Buzz hits a superkick to the chair and it hits Konnor in the face.  The ref sees this and immediately disqualifies the Steel Curtain.  Konnor and Viktor get the win but not the belts.  Konnor seems really pissed off and goes after MJ.  Viktor follows him leaving the champs in the ring. (4 min)

We cut to the back for a promo from CJ: 

“Ohhh poor poor madame clowns...the queen of all clowns.....you see here....I know what your gonna say, ohhhh they don't deserve a shot....they aren't contenders...ohhh it wasn't fair CJ was ringside...you see I never interfered I never stepped in....not until the match was over....and believe me Yosemite Sam that was just a taste of what is coming your way!!!! Cuz you see I plan on bringing it.....I may take a lump or two...but both of you are going to know that you we're in one hell of a match..... and when the blood flys...the crowd stops cheering and that bell is rung there will be only 1....no excuses no interference no whining no crying, no excuses and NO HOLDS BARRED...and when that gold is slung back on my shoulder the whole world will know that the hardcore championship is back where it belongs!!!! And if by some small chance....some miracle 1 of you 2 dingleberries wins, believe me I'll congratulate you...hell I might even shake your hand.....but I'm not gonna run down here and interfere with your next match...or grab a cronie or 2 to jump you in the back....I'll take my ass back to the gym hit some weights.... run some miles and return to work my way back to the top and I will whip your ass from pillar to post!!!! So you 2 simpletons better be ready because CJ is already hitting those laps....and pushing that iron...so rest assured hwf cswa fans I WIILL BE BRINGING MY A GAME, and I WILL GET THAT GOLD!!!! SEE YOU 2 ASS CLONES IN HELL IN A CELL CJ OUT!!! (drops the mic)

It is time for our main event.  The Miz defends the US title against Abyss.  Abyss comes out with his Attitude Adjustment tag team partner Adam Rose.  Miz comes out first and then is followed by his MizFit tag team partner the Fiend.  The match begins and after blocking a flurry of blows from Abyss, Miz took over and controlled the entire match.  The Fiend did stop Adam Rose from interfering and the two of them fought all the way to the back.  Abyss looked perturbed that his partner left.  That hesitation allowed for the Miz to hit a legsweep facebuster and roll him up (with a hook of the tights for good measure) for the 1-2-3.  The Miz successfully retains his title.  The show comes to an end as Miz climbs the turnbuckle and holds the title high.  BUT WAIT…What’s this…Phat Sol sneaks in from the audience and goes up to the Miz and grabs him and hurls him down from the turnbuckle to the mat below.  Phat then grabs the title and holds it high before dropping it as Miz regained his composure.  I think Phat Sol just made himself an enemy.

Thanks for reading.  Stay Tuned for more action.

HWF/CSWA Wrestling Newsletter 2015 – #418

Hello fans and welcome back to our newsletter.  With the success the last show had after being helmed by the Nature Boy Ric Flair, GM Max McGillicutty decided that this evening’s entertainment, even though he is onsite, he will pick a wrestler at random and that person will run tonight’s show.   Max takes a dart and throws it at a (conveniently created) poster with the roster’s names all listed.  It lands on…Zack Ryder.  Max yells “CRAP” and just as he was going to try it again, Ryder walks by and sees this and goes “Woo woo woo.  I’m in charge.  Just you watch…tonight’s gonna be the night Zack Ryder becomes a house hold name.  Woo woo woo.”

Ryder comes out and introduces himself as the stand in GM for the night.  Ryder says that he’s going to give everyone the matches they want to see.  Zack then says that even though tonight’s main event is Sonic Blade vs Sting for the Intercontinental title, he is inserting himself into the mix.  Ryder says tonight is his night to get gold.   He then calls out the competitors for our first match. 

Match 1:  Taylor Bella vs Summer Rae for Summer’s title spot.  This one went 19 minutes and Summer defended her spot in the lineup like a champ.  Summer retains her spot after hitting Taylor with a reverse kneeling facebuster and rolling her up for the pin.

The Stache makes his way out and mocks Magnum Kone for not having the “cajonies” to accept the challenge.  The Hardcore champion makes his way out and tells the Stache he actually has accepted the stipulation.  He will take on the Stache tonight and CJ at the next show.  Once he defeats them both, they will be removed from the top 10 and will be nothing more than a fleeting memory.  He walks off.

Ryder is back out taking about how great the show is so far (people start to boo him) but he tells the fans to hold fast as our next match is getting ready.

Match 2:  Canadian superstars the Savior and Drew, the Canadian Love Machine come out for their match against the Uso’s.  The Savior was destroying Jey Uso but after Dirk Devon and the Axe (the Band) came out and distracted them, the Uso’s turned up the heat.  Dirk attacked the Savior on the outside of the ring dropping him with the Pearl Drum Drop leaving Drew on his own.  He could not fight off the double teaming and ended up getting pinned after he got hit with a chop and elbow drop from Jey.  After the match, the Axe attacked Drew hitting him with the Axe and the Band was booed while medics came out to help the Savior and CLM.  (25 min)

Zack is back out again and says that the Band will feel the reprecussions of their interference in good time.  He says that the Old West meets Ice Cream in this next match.

Match 3:  The Stache vs Magnum Kone.  If Kone wins, the Stache will not get a title match.  CJ makes his way out and goes to sit at commentary; a move that pissed off both Kone and the Stache.  Before the match could begin, Magnum went over and got into CJ’s face and started to jawjack.  The Stache took advantage of the distraction and blasted Magnum with repeated chair shots.  He rolled Kone back in and in just 5 minutes, he gets Magnum to tap out to the Handlebar (camel clutch).  The Stache then turned his focus to CJ who appeared in the ring.  A surprised Stache gets caught with a superkick and he drops like a sack of potatoes.  CJ laughs and then leaves the ring.  (5 min)

Zack is back out and says that it is time for a title to be defended.  He introduces the next match:

Match 4:  The 6-Man champs the A-Team (Alberto el Patron, Adrian Neville and Antonio Cesaro) come out first.  Alberto has a mic and says that after setting a dispute over a name, he is back to using Alberto Del Rio.  Del Rio and his teammates head to the ring.   The challengers, the Varsity Club (Jack Swagger, Kazarian and Bo Dallas) led by Kurt Angle come out next.  The Varsity Club took the champs to school.  The A-team didn’t know what hit them and had lots of trouble trying to figure things out.  The only thing on the champs side tonight was the time limit.  After this one went the distance and ended in a time limit draw, the champs grabbed their belts and took off.  Kurt and the Varsity Club celebrated briefly and then left.  (30 min)

Zack came back out and basically called the last match boring.  He was hoping for some serious action but both teams let him down.  He says that when he’s in the main event tonight, it will be spectacular.  Until then, though, here’s another match.

Match 5:  Kalisto vs the Nigerian Wraith for his title spot.  Zack stayed out on the ramp and really seemed bored with this match too.  There were some high spots but our temp GM didn’t seem to care.  Kalisto ends up retaining his place after dropping the Wraith with an enzuigiri.  (20 min)

Zack says that the main event will be a 60 minute battle.  He takes off his coat and makes his way to the ring.  He introduces Sting next and then the IC champion Sonic Blade.  Blade actually got the biggest pop of the night.  Zack didn’t much care for that.  Zack says that whomever scores the most pinfalls in the 60 minutes will become the new Intercontinental Champion.  Zack Ryder scored the first pin on Sonic Blade in 19 minutes after dropping him with a missile dropkick.  Sting scored the second fall on Ryder after he nailed him with a  Stinger Splash in the corner and got the 1-2-3 in 12 minutes.  The 3^rd fall ends up going to the champ after Sting got counted out after being attacked by Tyler Breeze in 6 ½ min.  Breeze said that he was supposed to be the #1 contender.  Breeze said that it was a good thing for Ryder that he was the temp GM or he would have been taken out just like Sting.  Ryder says that since Sting is not fit to continue this match, he and Sonic Blade would continue this one in singles action.  The champ returned to his old self and took the match to Ryder.  After beating him around the ring, Blade hits the Alhambra attack (tackle) and pins Ryder for the 1-2-3.   Sonic Blade retains the title.  Tyler Breeze jumps in and goes to attack Blade but Sting shows back up and destroys Breeze.  Breeze runs away and shakes his fist at Sting as he cautiously backs-up up the ramp never taking his eyes off the Stinger.  Sting and Sonic Blade shake hands as the show comes to an end.  The camera man goes to focus on Zack Ryder who’s been laid out on the outside of the ring.  The camera fades to black.

Thanks for reading.  Stay tuned for more action.

HWF/CSWA Wrestling Newsletter 2015 – #417

Hello fans and welcome back to our newsletter.  Our show today is coming to you from Charlotte, NC – the home of the ‘Nature Boy’ Ric Flair.  Flair comes out to kick off the show and he says that GM Max McGillicutty has made him ‘GM for a day’ and he gets to call the shots today.  Flair says the show will kick off with someone who was unlikable but now seems to have the fans on his side – Flair introduces…CJ!

Flair is waiting on the ramp but there is no CJ.  Wait, coming in from the crowd…there he is.  CJ makes his way through the crowd and then climbs into the ring.  He asks for a mic. 

“Charlotte nc......wow the home of so many greats, so much to live up too........ so, first, Thank You Nature Boy.  Next, let me be the 1st to apologize to you and the entire world here tonight on live television..... (CJ pauses as he walks around the ring looking around)....you know I've be a lot of things. A winner. A champion and yes I've lost a few 1 thing is for certain I've always been a contender!!!!! I've never stepped away from the best, as a matter of fact I've always stepped to the best!!!! But Damn am I tired of this coward the stache!!!!!! Every time I turn around he has been sticking his ungroomed over waxed and dirty ass nose into my business costing my my shot at gold!!!! And now finally he has to stand on his own 2!!!!! You see he's a coward. A sissy. A bully!!! People like him win in numbers,.sneak attacks and outside interference!!! He cost me an ic title shot....he cost me a hardcore championship....and after I tossed his ass in the battle royal his little croney tossed me...but know it's just you.....ohhhh and Kone don't think I'm done with your ass by a long shot....cuz we all know that your hardcore gold was mine.....but yeah maybe that's just my pride talking...but hmmmmmmm I've got a suggestion...a proposal if you will...you see I've been thinking....... and hopefully the powers that be in the back are listing....misters Bychowski…Meyers, you listening???!!!!!” 

Out come owners Mr. Meyers and Mr. Bychowski and they meet Ric Flair on the stage and they are standing in the isle way...... Mr. Meyers asks “What is it exactly that you want??? How exactly can we help you CJ????  You know CJ, we are in Charlotte NC on live television and I'm sure no one watching around the world or anyone in this arena payed to listen to you babble, so what do you want!!!???

After a brief pause, CJ continues “you know your right, so let me get straight to the point....... the stache, magnum Kone, and cj all together in 1 ring, no rules no holds barred anything goes, and no interference cuz it's not just a match....it's hell in a cell....so if you agree, let those 2 In the back know when and where, and let's settle this all 1 time and really find out who is the man!!!!” Just as CJ gets ready to drop the mic, the Stache runs out but CJ rolls out the ring and goes through the crowd.  A pissed off Stache is left standing in the ring.

The Stache is in the ring and he says that it’s on.  He’ll accept the challenge anytime, anywhere.  Then, Hardcore Champion Magnum Kone comes out and he says that neither of these schmucks are deserving a title shot.  Mr. Meyers asks Ric what he thinks and Ric responds “Woooooooo.  The Nature Boy thinks it’s a great idea.  However, the show tonight is full so GM Max McGillicutty will need to figure out the when and where.  I say this will happen.”  The owners agree and then leave.  Ric says that since the Stache is in the ring, he can kick off our first match.  Stache asks who his opponent will be.  Flair then introduces…Tyson Kidd.  Kidd comes out and laughs at the Stache and that just infuriates him.  Tyson goes on the offensive and the Stache wasn’t prepared.  At one point, the ref took a bump and went down.  Stache then dropped Tyson with a chair shot.  Just as the ref started to stir, Stache throws the chair to Tyson who gets caught with it by the ref and is disqualified.  Tyson tried to complain but it did no good.  The Stache stayed in the ring pointing to his head (assuming he’s showing us how smart he is) but CJ runs in from the crowd and drops the Stache with a bulldog.  CJ rolls back out laughing and takes off through the crowd.  The Stache shakes out the cobwebs and leaves as the fans laugh at him.  (4 ½ min for the match; 8 for the segment)

Ric Flair runs into HWF World Champion Brock Lesnar and tells him that he is defending the title tonight.  Brock says “whatever” and walks off.  “Don’t you want to know who you’re going against?” Flair hollers after him but Brock doesn’t seem to care.

Next on the card is Uhaa Nation vs Zack Ryder.  This one was nothing special other than seeing Ryder really step up his game.  He took the match to Uhaa Nation and after hitting him with a double axehandle, he made the cover for the 1-2-3.  Zack Ryder gets a win.  (10 min)

Back in the interview area, The Stache calls CJ a coward and he will finish him off one way or another.  CJ better live it up because his time on this earth will end soon.

We go back to the ring for our HWF World title defense.  The champ Brock Lesnar defends the HWF World title vs the Elitist Champion Reid Rothchild.  Rothchild has a rare opportunity to step it up and see what he can do.  Reid congratulated himself on getting this match but as soon as the bell rang, Brock tore him apart.  Brock toyed with him much longer than he should have but after choking Reid on the ropes and slingshooting him into the ring, Brock made the cover and got the 1-2-3.  Brock wipes his hands and then takes his title and leaves. (9 min)

Ric Flair calls Samoa Joe to his office and tells him he too is defending his title tonight.  Joe asks who and Flair says the Shield’s own Roman Reigns.  Flair then excuses himself and says he has to go make an introduction in the ring.

Ric comes out and says that tonight, someone special is getting a match with a champion and if they can prove how good they really are, they will be in line for a title shot.  Flair first introduces the Women’s Champion (and member of the Beautiful People) Angelina Love.  Love gets in the ring and asks Ric to send down her opponent.  Ric then introduces his DAUGHTER Charlotte.  Charlotte, in Charlotte, gets a huge pop (almost as good as her dad’s) and she makes her way to the ring.  Charlotte had the slight edge for 19 minutes until the champ caught her with a top rope cross bodyblock.  Angelina thought she had this one signed, sealed and delivered so she took her sweet time making the cover.  Charlotte kicked out at 1 and Angelina was stunned.  As Angelina tried to complain, Charlotte hits the Charlotte’s Web roll up and got the 1-2-3.  Charlotte Flair gets the win and will receive a future title shot at the Women’s title.  Angelina left while Charlotte celebrated in the ring.  (20 min)

Buff Austin promises to rid the planet of whomever he is fighting tonight or he will call it quits once and for all.  Once he dispatches whoever it is he’s fighting tonight, he will get rid of Mr. Wrestling 5 and then take that sorry excuse of a slob MW3 out too.

It’s time for our next title match with champion Samoa Joe defending the CSWA World title vs Roman Reigns.  Reigns comes to the ring first accompanied by Shield members Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins.   Joe then comes out and he’s accompanied by Enforcer members Ryback and Mark Henry.  It didn’t take too long into the match with the Enforcers mixing it up with the Shield and both sets of teammates get sent to the back.  After everyone got sent to the back, Reigns looked to be the favorite as he seemed to be doing better than the champ.  Joe, however, took the match to the outside and then, after plowing Reigns into the steel post, he hits a muscle buster on the floor leaving Reigns out.  Joe rolls back into the ring just before the 10 count and squeaks out a win via CO.  Joe takes his title and leaves.  (9 min)

In the back, Bray Wyatt cuts a promo.  "I heard you like to call yourself the devil's favorite demon. But you, sir, are no demon. And the devil, nah, man. But shhh... Kane, I'd like to let you in on a little secret, man. You ought to be careful who you say those things in front of... you never know who might be listening.  The buzzards are calling your name man.  Can you hear them?"

We are back in the ring where special guest ring announcer MW3 is getting cheered from the fans. MW3 introduces tonight’s participants and starts off with ‘Main Event’ Buff Austin. Austin is booed and he flips off MW3 as he paces around the ring.  MW3 then announces Austin’s opponent and out comes…Mr. Wrestling #5.  Austin sees him and starts to laugh.  Mr. Wrestling #5 holds up a finger and  begins to remove his mask.  As soon as he is unmasked, we see..EL CHANGO!  That’s right, Austin’s former tag team partner is his opponent tonight.  Austin was in shock.  MW3 leaves the ring and flips off Buff Austin.  Buff goes on a vicious streak and just tears into El Chango.  This went on for 11 minutes.  Finally, Buff calls for the 5 Point Palm Explosion but El Chango reverses it and drops Austin with the Diamond Dust.  El Chango makes the cover and gets the 1-2-3.  El Chango gets the win and Buff is now out of a job.  Fans begin to chant “Na, na, na, na, na, na, hey, hey, hey, good bye.”  Buff storms up the ramp and then turns to all the fans and flips everyone off for the last time.  Goodbye Buff Austin.  (12 min)

Sting calls out Sonic Blade wanting his title shot at the Intercontinental Title.  Sonic walks over and says that next show, he will defend the IC title against the Stinger.  They shake hands.

We go back to the ring for our main event. This will be a “Ring of Fire” match (there are strips of devices placed along all for sides of the mat that will randomly shoot up fire).  First, the lights go dim and the demon Kane comes out to his eerie music.  Kane is in the ring waiting for Bray and as the lights go up, Bray is already in the ring and goes right after Kane.  Kane drops Bray and stands on his throat. Bray bounces back up and blinds Kane by running his face on the top rope.  The fire then shoots up and Kane gets caught by it.  Kane stumbles back in the ring and Bray hits Sister Abigail.  He stands over Kane just staring at him.  Bray rolls out of the ring and grabs a kendo stick.  Bray scoops Kane up and drops him with a powerslam.  He then goes and takes the kendo stick and beats Kane down with it.  He picks up Kane and hits Sister Abigail once again and makes the cover to get the 1-2-3.  After the match, Bray leaves the ring and then in mocking gesture, raises his arms and the flames on all 4 sides of the ring shoot up.  This goes on for about 10 seconds.  When the flames finally die down, Kane is gone.  He is no longer in the ring.  Bray takes a mic.

"Icarus was warned to never let his wings made of wax get too close to the sun. But pride can make even the noblest of men do such foolish things. And as Icarus neared the sun, his wings began to melt away. Icarus fell into the ocean and was never heard from again. Where's Kane? I warned Kane. I told him that this fire he thinks is his friend, his beginning... it would ultimately be his ending. And when Kane allowed his pride to cloud his common sense, well, that's when I knew that he was mine. Like a lamb led to slaughter... oh where, oh where has my monster gone? Oh where, oh where could he be? Kane made his bed and now he's burning in it. Where's Kane?"  Bray then leaves. (6 min for the match; 10 for the segment)

With that, the show comes to an end.  As the cameras stopped rolling, Ric Flair comes back out to thank the fans for attending and invites them to tune in on tv as well as attend future live events.  “Woooooooooo”.
