HCW Wrestling Newsletter 2017 #634 – APOCALYPSE PPV DAY 3


Hello fans and welcome back to Day 3 of our PPV Apocalypse.  The show begins back in an office occupied by GM’s Max McGillicutty and Master Bull.  Max and Bull discuss the repercussions for UA and J C Dykes for blinding Phat Sol that could result in a suspension.  As of last night, Phat’s prognosis at this time was not looking good.  The doctors have said that there may be optical nerve damage.  Bull thinks that if Phat can’t defend his title in 30 days, he should be stripped of it now and they should hold a tournament to crown a new champion.  Max says they’ll give it to the beginning of January and he and Bull can figure out the best course of action.  They agree to see how Phat does over the holiday and will re-evaluate his status in the new year.

Pyro goes off kicking off Day 3 of our end of the year PPV Apocalypse.  The fans at our last two shows were pretty excited but the crowd today are literally hanging from the rafters. It’s so loud in here we can’t hear ourselves talking.  But that’s what you want, right?   Master Bull comes out on stage and thanks the fans for supporting them all year.  He promises that when the new year kicks off, there will be some really great things happening with the Tacoma and Phoenix rosters so stay tuned.   Bull leaves as an interview begins to air.

Backstage, ‘Top Gun’ Justin Winger is interviewed about his match against Figgy Newton.  “Newton, you’re about as slimy as they come and tonight, you will finally get what’s coming to you when Top Gun soars and comes crashing down on you…brother!”

Match 1:  Ovaltine Jackson and Ghee Buttersnaps come out to a huge pop from the crowd.  Dang, these two guys are really over.  Once in the ring, their pop is cut short when the 5th Column (Baron von Blood, Oswald Zimmerman and Karl Braun) make their way down to the ring. Braun goes to stand in his team’s corner but the ref ends up sending him away from ringside to avoid any outside interference.  Baron and Oswald try to complain but it does no good.  The ref then announces that GM Max McGillicutty has made this one a no DQ/CO match so that no one can purposely get counted out or disqualified.  The match is also being granted a 30 minute time limit.  Both teams needed the full 30 minutes to tell their story and DAMN, did they ever.  Not surprising, Ghee and Ovaltine dominated the match taking it to their opponents but about 19 minutes in, Karl Braun rushed down and attacked Ovaltine putting him through a table at ringside.  Ovaltine is injured and is out most of the rest of the match.  Ghee carried on for his team getting 2 counts after 2 pin attempts.  The Column tried to double team Ghee but Buttersnaps held his own even against the double team.  Finally at the 29 minute mark, Ovaltine was able to get to his feet and climb back on the apron but there was no way Ghee could tag him in after what he just went through.  Oswald caught Ghee off guard and hit him with the Flatliner and he went for a pin but Ghee kicked out at 1 and then the bell rang bringing this one to a draw.  Baron tried to jump in and attack Ghee but Ovaltine hit him with a spear that sent Baron out of the ring.  Oswald joined his teammate and the two left.  Ghee helped Ovaltine to his feet and the fans popped for them as they made their way to the back.  (30 min draw)

Backstage, Figaroa Newton cuts his own promo.

“You’ve heard of the thrilla in Manilla... the thunder from down under.... well folks tonight you’re going to see a show... a spectacle unlike anything you’ve seen before.  School is in session and the meek will rise! In one corner we have him.... ya him, does anyone else smell hair care products, and in the other corner we have a new level of contender... a man who has no wrestling experience, but heart, courage, & class.... a man who’s chosen to teach the uneducated.... ohh ya... this will feel good! Let get this party started....”

We then cut to the office where Master Bull and Max McGillicutty are watching the show.  Bull says he wants to make Max a bet where the winner keeps Winger on their show as long as he wins tonight.  Bull says he’ll flip a coin…heads Winger stays in Tacoma and tails he moves back to Phoenix next year.  Max agrees.  Bull flips the coin and catches it but the segment ends before we can see what the coin toss was.

Match 2:  The music for the song “Real American” by Rick Derringer (I am a real American; fight for the rights of every man; I'm a real American; Fight for what's right fight for your life…) and out comes Figgy Newton.  The fans snicker at the man as he showboats all the way down to the ring.  He climbs the turnbuckles but the fans just heckle him.  He nonchalantly flips them off.  He begins to stretch as the music changes and then the ‘Theme from Top Gun’ by Joe Satriani begins to play (I sure hope these two obtained permission to use the music or there may be hell to pay) and ‘Top Gun’ Justin Winger comes out to a pop from the crowd.  He begins to make his way to the ring and then sees his #1 fan and he gives the ‘how YOU doin’ head nod.  He gets into the ring and then Figgy bolts.  Figgy slams his hands on the mat in frustration as Winger climbs each turnbuckle to a pop from the crowd.  Figgy continues to try to enter the ring but Winger takes a step towards the ropes and Newton backs off.  Figgy then begins to lambast the ref to get Winger to step back and let him in.  The ref sends Winger to the opposite corner and Figgy finally enters the ring.  The ref takes the mic introducing both wrestlers and then tells us that, as a pole is raised up and attached to the corner post, this match will be a cole miners glove match and that glove will sit on the platform until one person grabs it to use it.  Winger smiles and Figgy looks terrified (HEY, this isn’t what I signed up for).  The bell rings. 


Referee is 'Fast Count' Frank (+1)

Figaroa 'Figgy' Newton wins with a FIST DROP over 'Top Gun' Justin Winger!!!


Figgy Newton gets the win and struts around the ring saying “I WON…I WON”.  The fans boo him but he doesn’t care.  He won.  He goes over to lean over Winger and he yells “I WON” but Winger, playing possum, reaches up and grabs Winger by the throat.  Figgy tries to get away but Winger won’t let go.  He lifts him up for a chokeslam but then drops him with a reverse atomic drop (aka nut cracker).  Figgy is in pain.  Winger grabs the coal miners glove and blasts Figgy with it knocking him out and busting him open.  Winger then goes to the top rope and hits the Flyin’ and Stylin’ on the prone form of Newton.  Winger then hurls Newton out of the ring into a heap on the floor.  The fans pop and it seems Winger got a little measure of revenge on Newton.  He leaves to a pop from the crowd.  2 helpers from the back came out to help Newton to the back (well, actually dragged his prone form to the back). 

Sonic Blade is backstage and he cuts a promo.  It is short and sweet.  “I'm gonna go get some so be preparrrrrrrrred to get rocked and rolled.”

Also backstage is his opponent the Unknown Assassin with his manager J C Dykes.  Dykes begins “Man, can the day get any sweeter.  That chump stain Phatty Patty is blind…oh no.  HA HA.  THIS is exactly what you get when you mess with the Unknown Assassin.  UA held the title last so when poor sad phat snot can’t defend the title, we will pick up the pieces and the belt will once again be ours.”  When asked about the talk of suspension by the GMs, Dykes said “Those two couldn’t put one cohesive collective thought together and they wouldn’t dare.  We’ll sue.  For now, we’ll deal with these two knuckleheads in Sonic ‘I’m a fast food restaurant’ dull Blade and that backwards hick Crocodile Hunter.  It doesn’t matter what their names are as UA will destroy them both.”

Match 3:  First, Crocodile Hunter comes out to a huge pop from the crowd.  As soon as he gets into the ring, Sonic Blade’s music hits and the fans pop for him too.  Finally, J C Dykes comes out and introduces the US Champion the Unknown Assassin.  They wait impatiently as security makes their way out lining the ramp.  Dykes and the Unknown Assassin make their way down to the ring.  When Dykes felt they were safe, he dismissed security.  UA gets into the ring with Dykes behind him and holds the US title high.  He flaunts it in front of Sonic Blade and then again in front of Croc but they just stared at him intently.  Dykes leaves the ring with the US title and the match begins.

Right off the bat, Sonic and Croc took Dykes out of the picture and he was incapacitated for the entire match.  The three men slugged it out and it was a pretty even match throughout.  The fans especially popped when UA got his ass handed to him but booed when UA took control of the match.  We join the match at the 19 minute mark.

Crocodile Hunter gets the win and becomes the NEW US CHAMPION!!!  He parades around the ring once the ref hands him the title and he climbs the turnbuckle holding the title high and the fans pop huge for him. Unknown Assassin gets back into the ring and hurls Sonic Blade out of the ring.  He then pulls Croc off the turnbuckle sending him crashing to the mat.  Dykes joins UA in the ring and prepares to throw a fireball.   Just as Dykes is getting ready to throw it, Sonic Blade rushes into the ring knocking Dykes from the ring and then disposing of the Unknown Assassin.  He turns to shake Croc’s hand and then raises his arm.  He then leaves to let Croc celebrate with the fans.

We head backstage where our resident IT specialist @jowsterguy says that Dr. Red Fang has pushed him too far and tonight, he gets that no good low down evil vampire will finally get what’s coming to him.  Whether it’s a table, ladder or chair, Fang will taste wood or steel – it doesn’t matter which and he’ll go back to Transylvania or Romania or wherever he’s from….for good.

In a different part of the backstage area, Dr. Red Fang is with his manager Ant Graham.  Graham calls @jowsterguy delusional if he thinks he can stand up to the world’s greatest vampire.  Fang snarls and yells

“I bet @jowsterguy is sitting back there punching those stupid keys. I'd love to punch HIM.”
            “Vampire Lunges for everyone!!!"
            “The stories about me being someone's dog are patently false. I'm obviously a vampire."
            "I would have been perfect in The Final Deletion."
            "HCW is just a side gig for me. No one there is worthy of being in the ring with me."
            “I'm pretty sure I'm the only thing keeping the Tacoma show afloat."
             "Thankfully we don't have to rely on @jowsterguy to provide the entertainment around here.”
 “I am so over in Luxembourg. Ask about me in Luxembourg City.”

The interviewer tried to ask Fang a question but got a verbal lashing.

 “Dr. Red Fang doesn't answer questions…I break bones. That pipsqueak Max McGillicutty will answer your questions.”

The interviewer tried to interject again and Fang went off on him again.

“You dare disturb Dr. Red Fang?  I should clothesline you out of your shoes! Max McGillicutty better get in here and help you!”
“Who are you and why are you bothering me?”
“Yell at me again and I'll choke you out!”
“Brother Nero....errr...whatever your face…don't make me delete you!”
“Look at who’s just WOKEN up.  Transylvanian piledriver coming your way!”
“Your yelling is going to get you stretched out by a Spider Web Leglock!”
“The good Dr. has a prescription for you...PAIN.  Sorry Mr. "Tea"…no, scratch that…I’m not sorry!”
“Did mommy not give you enough attention?   Stop yer screaming.”


The segment finally ended (thankfully) and we head back to the ring for our next match. 

Match 4 (Tables, Ladders & Chairs) - @jowsterguy comes out and the fans go absolutely bananas.  He shakes hands with the fans as he makes his way down to the ring.  He looks ready for this match.  His enjoyment is squashed when, over the loudspeakers blares “VAMPIRE LUNGES FOR EVERYONE” and out comes Ant Graham and Dr. Red Fang.  The fans go sour really quick and he snarls and growls at the fans as he makes his way down to the ring.  @jowsterguy leaves the ring to set up a couple of tables.  He pulls some chairs out and a ladder from under the ring.  Fang enters the ring and beacons @jowsterguy to join him so they can start this show.  Fang controlled the first 5 minutes of the match until @jowsterguy climbed the ladder and then leapt hitting an elbow drop from the top of the ladder.  After that, things began going the IT specialist’s way.  He kept dominating the nasty vampire until Fang hit him with a Vampire Lunge and almost got a 2 count.  We join the match at the 15 minute mark.

1...2...3
Dr. Red Fang was pinned by @Jowsterguy IT Specialist!!!

@Jowsterguy IT Specialist wins with a Three Quarter Nelson Suplex over Dr. Red Fang!!!

The crowd pops as the IT specialist has his arm raised in victory.  He struggles to his feet and he asks for a mic.  @jowsterguy says he’s going back into his IT world and leaving the wrestling business for the professionals.  He leaves the ring to a pop from the crowd and he waves to the fans once he arrives on the stage and then turns and leaves.

The Duchess is backstage and she says she’s ready to send the Belle of the Ball back to the bingo parlor she belongs in.  Only one of them rides off into the sunset and she promises it won’t be her.

The Southern Belle is also backstage and she laughs in derision.  She says that the Duchess is delusional and her little majesty upstart will be the one hanging out on the unemployment line.  The one and only Southern Belle will be around for a long time to come so buckle up as she’s taking her for a ride.

Before we head back to the ring, we go to Max and Bull’s office where they are with DJ CJ Spice.  DJ says that the injuries he sustained on Friday are in fact career threatening and he needs to bring his career to a close.  Max asks if this is what he really wants to do and DJ says yes.  DJ CJ Spice announces he officially retires.  He says he doesn’t blame Elitism as he would have done the exact same thing if he was in their shoes.  He says this closes the door on his career.  Max and Bull shake his hand and wish him all the best.

Match 5 is ready to go.  First, the Duchess makes her way out to a mixed reaction from the crowd.  She’s not in the ring long before Southern Belle’s music hits and she makes her way out to booing from the crowd.  She answers their disdain with a couple of middle fingers.  She gets to the ring and immediately gets into the Duchess’ face and begins to push her.  The ref calls for the bell to ring so the two can begin slugging it out.  These two beat the holy hell out of each other and the fans ate it up.  They kept the pace moving at a furious one.  Both ladies got creative in trying to get the other to say ‘I Quit’ but neither would say the words.  The ladies took this one to the distance and kept the fans entertained.  This was the longest match of the PPV and no one was bored at all.  After many attempts to get the other to quit, we finally join the match at the 47 min mark.

The Duchess (f) wins with the ALL HAIL HER MAJESTY over The Southern Belle (f)!!! 

The Duchess gets the win and the fans pop for her and exhausted, she went and sat in the corner.  Belle got to her feet and left the ring.  The fans began to chant “Na na na na…na na na na…hey hey hey…goodbye” and Belle left with her head held high.  The Duchess did a finger wave and eventually left the ring.

We cut to the back where manager MJ is with ‘The Ragin Cajun’ Rad Gumbo.  (translated from his Cajun speak so we can understand what he’s saying) “Finally, the Ragin Cajun gets what’s eluded him all year…a shot at the World title.  Champ, you and I have met before and I didn’t walk away with the title but now, months later, scouting you, I know your weaknesses.  Tonight, I become the champ and you will be nothing more than a chump.”

We go to another interview area where the World Champion Drew the Canadian Love Machine is cutting his own promo.  “2017 was a great year.  3x World Champion.  Cajun, you are one tough competitior but I am THE champ.  I started this year as the champ and I plan to end it as the champ also.  I’m not taking anything away from you but you are going against the best in the business and tonight, I will prove it once again.”

It’s time for our Main Event.  Manager MJ comes out first as “Gumbo 7:30 says its Suppa time, bitch!” blares over the loudspeakers and out comes the Ragin Cajun Rad Gumbo.  Gumbo gets a decent reaction from the crowd.  He gets into the ring and showboats.  Drew’s music hits and the World Champion makes his way out.  The fans go insane.  Drew takes a deep breath and heads to the ring.  Gumbo’s manager MJ meets Drew at the ring and tells him that Gumbo is taking that title tonight.  Drew totally dominated the match and even with MJ’s interference, it didn’t do any good.  Gumbo took a huge risk and launched himself from the top rope but Drew caught him and nailed a bodyslam.  Drew hooked the leg of his winded opponent and got the 3 count in only 5 minutes.  Drew wins the match in dominating fashion.  His celebration is cut short when MJ says they have a “money in the bank” contract and Gumbo is cashing that in right now.  This time, Gumbo was really on the offensive and dominated the match for about 95% of it.  Towards the end, Drew began a comeback and neither Gumbo nor MJ were ready for it.  We join this match now at the 20 min mark.

HCW Wrestling Newsletter 2017 #633 – APOCALYPSE PPV DAY 2


Hello fans and welcome to Day 2 of HCW’s Apocalypse PPV.  Day 1 had a lot of surprises and titles changing hands.  Elitism became the new Tag Team Champions, Phat Sol became the new TV champion, and the Steel Curtain & Biceps Bannerman defeated Graham’s Ghouls to become the 6 Man tag team champions.  After the show, DJ CJ Spice was taken to a hospital to evaluate the extent of his injuries.

The show began today not in the ring but backstage.  GM’s Max McGillicutty and Master Bull were in an office talking about the layout for today’s show when manager J C Dykes and the Unknown Assassin stormed into their office.  Dykes screamed that he was going to sue both of them and HCW for negligence.  Bull asked Dykes what he’d been smoking.  Dykes produced a contract that shows that security is supposed to line all the way from the stage to the ring but security ended up leaving before they made it to the ring and the Unknown Assassin got hit in the head with a can and that led (it’s a stretch) to his losing the TV title.  Dykes said he would sue everyone unless UA got a rematch against Phat Sol TONIGHT.   Bull and Max looked over the contract and acknowledged that there was a miscommunication with security.  Max says “You know what, you’re right.  You can leverage a lawsuit against Bull and I if you really want (HCW is protected from such nonsense) but at the end of the day, you’re whining about HIM losing the title.  If all it takes is to give him his rematch tonight, so be it.  If you agree to this, you are removing us from any liability due to last night’s incident.”  Dykes took the contract and signed it with great enthusiasm.  Dykes began to laugh but Bull stopped him.  “You understand that what you just signed means you cannot come back and change your mind.  This is it.”  Dykes acknowledged it.  “Also, you just acknowledged that if the Unknown Assassin does not regain the belt tonight, the whole ‘I have to be on every show’ also goes away and he will be treated like any member of our roster.”  Dykes blew up again.  “YOU CAN’T DO THAT.”  Max says “We did and you agreed to it. Now, leave so we can get our show up and going.”  Dykes and UA stormed out of the office.  Bull and Max smiled as the camera faded to black.

Pyro goes off and Day 2 is now officially underway. 

For our first match, the Hubers – Butch and Ferb Huber accompanied by their brother Junior Huber head down to the ring to booing from the fans.  Butch and Ferb get in the ring and the fans continue to boo until new music hits and Adam Jameson and Billy Robbins come out and the fans then pop for them.  The Ferb’s tried to get the fans to quiet down but their actions yielded no results.  The match started up pretty quick but the Hubers, with help from Junior, took the match to their opponents.  Junior almost got caught a couple of times but he managed to plead innocent.  Ferb pulled a table out from under the ring and set it up.  Finally, during double teaming, Billy blasted Butch with rapid punches and after Butch dropped Billy with a Gator roll, AJ tossed him right out of the ring right on top of Junior.  Junior caught Butch but slipped and both of them went crashing through the table.  Butch was slow to get up and didn’t make it back into the ring in time and ended up getting counted out.  Adam and Billy get the win via countout much to the fans delight.  They stayed and celebrated as Butch, Junior and Ferb all limped to the back to nurse their wounds.  (12 min)

Backstage, Scooter J, Otto Ruthless and King Wilber Townsend are backstage and Scooter J is pacing like a tiger.  He says that Axe and TNT both turned their backs on him costing him 1/3rd of the 6 Man titles so he is now teaming up with two men who both know their opponents (King Wilber and TNT) or don’t care (Otto Ruthless).  He’s teamed with two true bad-asses and they’ll prove it tonight by embarrassing Axe, TNT and Brick.

Our next match kicks off with the twins Betsy & Felicia Cummings and their partner Lexy Flexx coming out and getting booed as they head down to the ring.  They yell at the fans as they make their way into the ring.  Next, Madame Jade, Starr Vixen and Scarlett Phoenix come out to a huge pop from the crowd.  They make their way down and shake hands with the fans and take some selfies.  The twins and Lexy don’t like to be kept waiting so they rush out of the ring and attack their opponents who battle back and take the action into the ring where the ref can get it properly started.  The sneak attack by the villains gave them an edge at the beginning of the match but as soon as Jade, Starr and Scarlett fully recovered, they took the match to their opponents who tried to run away a few times but never got too far.  Just as the match was nearing the 30 minute mark (this one flew by), The Cummings Twins tried to double team Starr but she nailed Betsy with a Flying Fivearm that sent her flying out of the ring.  Felicia connected with a springboard armdrag but was met with a vicious clothesline from Starr that sent Felicia crashing to the mat.  Lexy tried to enter the ring but the bell rang bringing this one to a draw finish.  Lexy left and quickly re-entered with a steel chair but never got to use it as Madame Jade hit her with a flying dropkick and she dropped the chair.  Scarlett hit Lexy with the Black Widow and Starr sent her out of the ring with a flying fivearm.  The three favorites stood tall in the ring and smiled and waved as Lexy and the twins made their way to the back.  The favorites celebrated with the fans taking more selfies and then left.  (30 min draw)

We cut to the back again and the Axe is there with TNT and Brick.  The Axe says that Scooter J lost focus and then lost his marbles (TNT chimes in holding a bag of marbles and says “found them”) and that he’s just a sore loser who doesn’t know when to quit.  Well tonight, the three of them will make sure that life becomes miserable for the “poor lost soul”.  Brick adds in that Wilber and Ruthless aren’t to be taken lightly and therefore they will meet them with every trick in the book…just to keep things on the up and up.

Match #3 is ready to begin.  Scooter J, Otto Ruthless and King Wilber Townsend all make their way down to the ring and the fans turn their noses at them as if they’ve smelled something foul.  New music plays and TNT, Axe and Brick come out to a pop from the crowd and begin to make their way to the ring.  Just as they enter the ring, Otto grabs a chair.  That’s ok as Brick has a barbwire bat.  The ref makes them both discard their illegal objects and gets this one started.  Brick begins with going for a Lou Thesz press but Scooter J catches him and chokes him on the ropes.  Otto is tagged in and Brick bodyslams him.  King Wilber joins Otto and they double team him with Wilber hitting hammering blows to the back and then Otto hurling him over the top rope.  Scooter J rushes over and picks up Brick and hits a Brainbuster on the floor.  The ref counts as Wilber and Otto taunt Axe and TNT but Brick isn’t able to get back up so he gets counted out at the 2 minute mark.  Scooter J, Otto Ruthless and King Wilber get the win via CO however GM Master Bull comes out and says it won’t end like this.  He tells the ref to restart the match but Brick will not be able to participate as he’s been stretchered out.  Bull asks Axe if they are ok with a handicap match and he says yes.  GM Max McGillicutty comes out and says that it’s not fair for Scooter J and his cronies to do something illegal and get away with it.  He makes the match a normal tag team and acknowledges the shark cage above the ring.  It is lowered and Max asks Scooter J who will be wrestling and he says he and Wilber will.  The ref then locks Otto into the mini cage and it’s hoisted above the ring.  Bull says this will now be a no DQ match.  Scooter J immediately takes the chair and begins whalloping Axe with it to soften him up.  Axe did ok but the damage was done.  TNT got the hot tag in when his sibling King Wilber came in but Wilber had the barbwire bat and busted TNT open with it.  Wilber and Scooter J then kept TNT separated not allowing him to tag out.  Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, Axe gets the hot tag.  Scooter J tags Wilber in but doesn’t leave.  Axe throws Scooter J to the ropes and hits him with the Axe but he’s not the legal man.  Wilber hits the ropes hard and nails Axe with a running crossbody.  He hooks the leg (and the tights AND has his feet on the ropes) and the ref counts 1…2…3.  Scooter J and King Wilber steal the win in 17 minutes.  Otto’s cage is lowered and as he exits the cage, a bloodied and bandaged Brick comes out with a chair of his own but before he gets in the ring, he pulls out a lighter and the chair CATCHES FIRE (it has something on it apparently).  Scooter J and team bolt out of the ring as Brick enters with a flaming chair.  The heels run from the ring and Brick HURLS the flaming chair at them.  They scatter quickly.  Axe, TNT and Brick get a pop from the crowd as they eventually make their way to the back.

Super Shockmaster is backstage and says that having one’s career on the line isn’t enough and he doesn’t want Wildfire to skate out on a technicality so he demands this one be in the confines of a steel cage. GM Max McGillicutty was walking by and told him it was a good idea and it would be happening next.  Max leaves to tell the crew to go set up the cage.

Texas Wildfire is backstage and he says that tonight, he takes the career of Super Shockmaster.  A stipulation was added (confirmed) that this would in fact take place in a steel cage.  TW says that he isn’t going anywhere and the Super Shockmaster will be the one looking for a new home.

We are almost ready for our next match and the crew finished assembling the cage.  The Super Shockmaster makes his way out as the fans boo him.  He enters the cage and paces waiting for his opponent.  Next, Texas Wildfire comes out and the fans practically blow the roof off the place.  This guy is OVER with this crowd.  He slaps the fans’ hands as he makes his way to the ring.  The ref holds the door open for him but he opts to go over the top of the cage instead.  TW and SS meet face to face in the middle of the ring and as the bell rings, the two begin to slug it out.  For 12 minutes, the two competitors beat the crap out of each other.  Neither man attempted a pin until we got into the 14th minutes of the match which is where we join it at.

TV Champion Phat Sol is backstage and he says he’s not annoyed that Dykes and the Unknown Assassin are cashing in their spot; he’s actually ecstatic because with this defense, that big goof will never get another shot at this title once he beats him and send him home crying. 

Manager J C Dykes comes out and tells the fans to shut up and sit down as he introduces the NEXT TV champion the Unknown Assassin.  UA comes out and he and Dykes remain on the stage as security comes out and lines the ramp down to the ring.  Dykes and UA head down to the ring and Dykes glares at each security guard with revulsion.  He nonchalantly dismisses them once they get to the ring.  As they depart, a fan throws another can and this time it bounces off of Dykes’ head.  The fans get a good laugh at that.  Dykes screams that the fans will be the ones who will pay.

As we prepare for our main event, El Gato Negro is backstage cutting a promo.  She says that the time off was good both mentally and physically and she’s been waiting for this moment for a long time.  She says that she will give Taylor a good run for her money and she is sure that the best woman will win.

We then cut to where TV Champion Phat Sol was being loaded into an ambulance.  J C Dykes and the Unknown Assassin watched from a hidden corner and were snickering about Phat’s injury.  Dykes tells the Unknown Assassin that this will be how they get the TV title back.  They turn and leave.

We cut to another interview area where manager Figgy Newton is with the Ladies Champion Taylor Bella.  Figgy says that El Gato is full of El Guano if she thinks she can defeat the most dominant woman in all of wrestling.  Taylor Bella has even surpassed fame and fortune of her older “sisters” and everyone just wants to be her.  Taylor looks at the camera and as says succinctly “Just bring it.”

It’s time for our main event.  First, El Gato Negro comes out to a huge pop from the crowd.  She gets into the ring and pumps her arms into the air and soaks in the crowd’s adulation.  Next, the music changes and out comes Figgy Newton and he introduces the Ladies Champion Taylor Bella.  The fans boo as the two of them make their way down to the ring.  Taylor wastes no time and gets into the ring and into the face of El Gato.  The two stare at each other.  Taylor hands over her title and this one begins.  Taylor immediately turned up the heat and threw El Gato into the ring post.   Taylor would revisit the post every couple of minutes to keep up the damage.  We join the match at the 8 minute mark.
