GM Master Bull comes out to a pop from the crowd.  Bull tells us that GM Max McGillicutty broke the news last show about the Ladies Battle Royal to determine a new “Queen” of HCW but he didn’t mention that Phoenix alum King Wilber Townsend will be defending his crown against the winner of the men’s battle royal.  King Wilber comes out on stage and is booed pretty heavily.  Wilber states that he is the one true King and no one comes anywhere close to him in talent.  Wilber calls the fans peasants and the roster wannabees and says that unfortunately, since the card today is full, the people don’t get the privilege of seeing him wrestle.  Bull says that Wilber is right about one thing…today’s card is full but Wilber is actually on the card tonight and in fact, he’s in the first match. Bull orders King Wilber down to the ring but Wilber says royalty doesn’t go to the ring first and demands his opponent go first.  Bull relents.



The match begins with Sonic Blade making his way down to the ring and he looks and laughs at King Wilber as he passes by.  Sonic enters the ring and the crowd pops for him.  The music changes and King Wilber makes his way down to the ring escorted by backstage hands dressed up as royal guards.  Wilber enters the ring and immediately attacks Sonic.  These two have a history and it looks like the two of them picked up where they left off.  After hitting a low blow, Wilber removed the turnbuckle cover and then bounced Sonic’s head off of it before hitting him with the Go to Sleep.  Wilber makes the cover and gets the 3 count.  King Wilber gets the win and gloats.  Master Bull comes back out and says that just because Wilber thinks he’s superior (“I am” screams Wilber), he thinks he’s above the law but Bull says “I am the Law”.  Bull says that Wilber and Sonic Blade get to continue this in a week when the two will meet in a no-DQ match.  Wilber tries to complain but it falls on deaf ears.  Wilber storms off.  Sonic Blade follows.



“Top Gun” Justin Winger makes his way down to the ring.  He tells Master Bull and the Phoenix audience that he wants a match against the Banker.  Just then, the Banker with his manager Ruth Heartless, makes their way part way down the ramp. 



“Justin Winger, you still have a debt to be paid. I’m not sure how much clearer I can make this for you. Until this debt is paid, life for you in the HCW will be miserable. Two weeks ago, I shut your smart mouth with my briefcase. Last week you thought you could go for the United States title, only to have me remind you that you first need to pay your debts. Now it’s time for me to collect those debts … in the ring.



Ruth, while it felt good to stamp ‘DENIED’ on Top Gun’s forehead, it just wasn’t enough. He needs to feel pain over and over again in the ring. Winger, my briefcase and your face are becoming good friends! This week, however, is your reckoning. Your road to any championships ends here and now. You want another shot? You have to deal with me first! Since you refuse to pay your debts, I am left with no choice. Justin Winger, it’s time for you to face REPOSSESSION!”



Winger grabs the mic and tells the Banker to come down to the ring right now to settle this but after Ruth whispered something in his ear, he shook his head and said that he would determine the time and place and backed up the ramp never taking his eyes off of Winger.   Winger remained in the ring as he was up next.



Angry Jack Lawson come storming down to the ring and looks ready to take his frustrations out on Winger.  It was too bad for Jack that Winger was actually angrier and took the match to Lawson beating the tar out of him much to the fans’ delight.  Winger kept up the pressure until at the 19 minute mark, he hits Lawson with the steamroller and then hooked the leg for the 3 count.  Winger gets the win but it’s cut short when the Banker rushes the ring however Justin was expecting it and used the Banker’s momentum to send him flying over the top rope.  The fans popped but then Ruth Heartless got in the ring with the Banker’s briefcase and tried to hit him with it but Winger stopped her knocking the briefcase out of her hand.  Winger grabs her hand after she tried to slap him and he looked to the fans to see what they wanted him to do.  The fans popped louder but before he could do anything, the Banker rescued his manager and they left up the ramp cursing at Winger.  Justin ends up leaving to a pop from the crowd.  (19 min for the match / 5 for the extra segment)



Backstage, J C Dykes and the Unknown Assassin are in their dressing room (although they are not on today’s show).  UA is posing in front of the mirror until he stops.  Dykes walks over asking what’s wrong and he sees, reflected in the mirror…an image of…Phat Sol!  Dykes and the Assassin turn around quickly to confront him but he’s not there.  Dykes mumbles “This has GOT to stop.”



It’s time to back to the ring for our next match.  First, Lavender Gooms comes out to a mixed reaction from the crowd.  Next, Felicia Cummings comes out with her twin Betsy and they are booed pretty heavily.  The shrug off the disdain and make their way to the ring.  The ref immediately sends Betsy away but she produces a ticket to sit at ringside and she hops the railing and takes her seat.  The ref starts the match.  Lavender took the match to Felicia and even after a brief switcheroo with Betsy taking her sister’s place (and the ass-beating that went with it) she quickly got out and let her sister fight her own battle.  Felicia struggled to keep up with Lavender and as the clock started to wind down, Felicia got out of the ring.  The ref began to count as the seconds ticked away.  When the ref got to 9, the bell ended up ringing bringing this one to a time limit draw.  Felicia and Betsy took off and didn’t look back.  Lavender followed shortly thereafter.  (20 min draw)



J C Dykes is backstage carrying a bag.  He runs into Master Bull who asks “What do you have there?”  Dykes stutters “Um, nothing.  None of your bees wax.”  Dykes takes off and Bull shakes his head.



We head to the ring for our next match.  The very annoying screech “VAMPIRE LUNGES FOR EVERYONE” blares and out comes HCW’s resident vampire Dr. Red Fang and his jerk of a manager Ant Graham.  The fans boo them and Fang snarls and growls at them in return.  Eventually they make it to the ring.   Next, “Born in the USA” begins to play (he better have gotten permission to do that) and out comes Dude USA Mick Rude.  Rude gets a pop as he heads down to the ring.  It doesn’t take long for Fang to attack Rude and get this one off to a rough start.  This was total annihilation.  Fang (with Graham’s help) dismantled Rude and any chance off any offensive going (he got 5 moves in…that is it).  After 18 minutes of pure hell for Rude, Graham had Fang finish him off with a Transylvania piledriver and 3 seconds later, this one is mercifully over.  Rude gets kicked out of the ring and Fang and Graham celebrate much to the fan’s dismay.  Eventually (and thankfully) they finally leave.  (18 min)



The Unknown Assassin and his manager J C Dykes make their way out and surprisingly it is without security.  Dykes gets on the mic and says that management isn’t stopping Phat Sol from interfering with their business so they took matters into their own hands.  Dykes hollers that he knows Phat is out there and should show himself.  The spotlight shines to the rafters and Phat is up there with his crow makeup on his face.  He points a menacing finger in the direction of UA and Dykes and then uses the rope up there to begin to lower himself from the rafters.  It turns out that the rope is actually combined with bungie cord and just as he was almost to the ground, he shot right back up to the rafters like a rocket.  He then bounces up and down and Dykes and UA are in the ring laughing hysterically.  After mocking Phat some more, they leave and wave at him.  The fans throw junk at them but they don’t let that damper their fun.  Phat ends up making it to the rafters (eventually) and the spotlight that was tracking him goes off and the rafters become dark.



Our next match is ready to go with one member of the Snake Pit taking on 1/3rd of the 6 Man Tag Team Champions.  Tobias Snake comes out first to booing from the crowd.  Next, Biceps Bannerman comes out and the fans pop huge for him.  He smiles as he makes his way to the ring.  Tobias tries to attack him from behind but Biceps just shrugs him off.  Biceps just let Tobias try to beat him down but kept nullifying his moves.  Finally, after almost 12 minutes of this, Biceps hits a huge powerslam and then locks in the Biceps Crunch and Tobias quickly taps out.  Biceps Bannerman gets the win via submission.  The remaining members of the Snake Pit come out and start to surround the ring like they are going to simultaneously attack but the Steel Curtain (Buzz and Starbuck Steel) hit the ring and stand with their partner.  After the standoff, the Snake Pit end up leaving without further incident.  The 6 Man Champs stand tall to huge pops from the crowd and eventually leave.



Backstage, the World Tag Team Champions Elitism (Reid and Roderick Rothchild) and their manager the Ambassador say they are ready to defend their titles.  The Ambassador tries to praise the talent of Adam Jameson and Billy Robbins but Roderick cuts him off saying “It doesn’t matter how good they think they are, they are not the champs.  We are.”  Reid adds in “Elitism is the ultimate power in HCW and tonight, we prove it…Again.”   The segment ends.



It’s time for our Main Event.  First, Adam Jameson and Billy Robbins come out to a decent pop from the crowd.  Next, the Ambassador comes out and is followed by the World Tag Team Champions Elitism – “the Elitist” Reid Rothchild and “Rowdy” Roderick Rothchild.  The champs get into the ring and hold their titles high.  The fans give them a welcome reception.  The bells rings and this one is off to the races.  Billy and AJ looked great in the match and really took the fight to the champs.  The Ambassador got involved a few times but the challengers did a good job nullifying him. As they 25 minute approached, Billy and AJ entered the ring for double teaming action on Reid.  Reid was able to hit a Stinger Splash on AJ but Billy hit Reid with a Slingshot smash and then AJ tossed Reid out of the ring.  The Ambassador rushed over and started to give Reid advice.  However, he waited a bit too long and Reid ended up getting counted out.  Billy and AJ get the win but they don’t win the titles on a countout.   The Ambassador points to his head making it seem like the champs were purposely counted out.   Billy and AJ leave and just as the champs entered the ring with the Ambassador, they are immediately attacked by Ant Graham and 2 of his ghouls – Dr. Red Fang and Wolfman Keg.  The Ghouls beat down on the exhausted champs and Ant took out the Ambassador.   Fang hit Reid with a Vampire Lunge and Wolfman Keg locked Roderick in the Torture Rack.  He finally relented and the Ghouls stood tall over the champs.  Ant handed his team the titles and they held them high as the show comes to an end.

Pyro goes off and our show is ready to go.  GM Max McGillicutty comes out to a pop from the crowd.  Max tells us that he has breaking news regarding next month’s PPV.  He said that the name of the event is being renamed from “All Hail the King” to Reigning Royalty and this is because, for the first time ever, there will a ladies battle royal to determine the first ever “Queen of HCW”.  I’m sure other (minor) royalty - Lady Hermann and the Duchess will be ready to go in this match.  Max departs and the show gets ready to go.



The first show of the night begins with Red McNulty making his way down to the ring to booing from the crowd.  Next, over the loudspeakers blares “Gumbo 7:30 says it’s suppa time, bitch!” and the Ragin Cajun Rad Gumbo makes his way out with his manager MJ.  The two make their way down to the ring.  McNulty immediately goes on the offensive.  It took Rad a few minutes to get back into the groove of things but eventually he did and gave just as good as he got.  The fans could tell that MJ and Rad just weren’t on the same page and things did not flow smoothly.  McNulty tried to take advantage of that by tossing Rad out of the ring but he was back in pretty quick and immediately locked in the Onion Lock (Muta lock) and he got McNulty to tap out.  The Ragin Cajun gets the submission win.  He and MJ then leave with McNulty following shortly thereafter.  (18 min)



Backstage, Missy Chick gloats to Kimberly Kiccsass that she is the one getting the title match tonight and not Kimberly and she laughs as she skips away.



We go back to the ring for our next match.  Ice Dagger comes out first to his music “Ice Dagger Baby” and he’s booed all the way down to the ring.  He flips off the fans as he gets into the ring.  Next, Billy Robbins comes out to defend his spot in his top 10 line up.  Billy gets a pop from the crowd and looks ready to kick this one off.  Apparently, the timekeeper didn’t get the memo on this one and forgot to change the time limit to 20 minutes so this one had a 30 minute time limit and it was needed to see resolution to the end of this match.  Enough time passed allowing Billy to really kick it into high gear and once he climbed to the top turnbuckle and launched connecting with a flying elbow drop on to the prone form of Ice Dagger, he made the cover to get the 1-2-3. Billy retains his spot in a 25 minute battle.



Backstage, Ladies Champion Taylor Bella and her manager Figaroa Newton (he demands not to be called ‘Figgy’ anymore) walk into the office of the GM and tell Max that since the last match had a longer time limit that her match in the main event would have to be cut short.  Figaroa lambasts Max for the slip up and demands that because of this insult, he postpone Taylor’s match.  Max laughs and says that “No, there is no worry.  See, the good thing with having more matches on the card, we can shrink the time limit of those matches and now the champ will have a full half an hour to do what she needs to.”  Whatever Figaroa and Taylor were trying to accomplish seems to have backfired and now instead of a 20 minute time limit, it’s now 30 and it gives Missy that much more time to try to win the title.  Taylor and Figgy (oops, I mean Figaroa) storm out of Max’s office.



We head back to the ring for our next spot contention defense spot.  First, the challenger Hangman #3 comes out to booing from the fans.  Next, defending his spot, Muscles McGuire comes out with the other members of the Muscles Trio and they are all wearing their rainbow colored bull horns.  McGuire is sporting his “Booty-O’s” T-shirt and gets a good pop from the crowd.  Muscles Weasley and Thorpe stayed behind as McGuire went down to the ring.  Hangman #3 DESTROYED McGuire but could not capitalize with a pin.  When they saw their brother in distress, Muscles Weasley and Thorpe went down the ramp but stayed away from ringside.  There they interacted with the fans drawing the ire from Hangman #3.  They caused just enough of a distraction that forced this one to go to a time limit draw.  Muscles McGuire retains his spot in the lineup.  Hangman #3 leaves and is pissed.  (20 min draw)



We go backstage again and there is a commotion.  It appeared that Red McNulty attacked the Ragin Cajun but both men continued to slug it out until enough of the backstage hands rushed in to break it up.  Max says he doesn’t understand why this couldn’t be settled in the ring so he proposes that at the next Phoenix show, Rad and Red will get to settle their differences within the confines of a steel cage.  The fans pop at that announcement.  Max orders both men to go their separate ways and threatens that if either attack the other before their match, one will be suspended indefinitely.



Another spot challenge match is ready to go.  Challenger Ghee Buttersnaps comes out first to a pop from the crowd.  Next, the lights go dim and eerie as Mason the Mangler with his manager Ant Graham comes out.  Graham leads Mason to the ring and remains at ringside as the Mangler glares menacingly at Ghee.  Mason held the lead for about 13 minutes but then “the King of Cones” Magnum Kone came out and began handing out ice cream to the fans at ringside.  Ant tried to complain to the ref but the ref said he wasn’t going to deprive the kids of their ice cream.  That little diversion gave Ghee what he needed to start taking the match to the Mangler.  As Ghee was getting his momentum going, Ant tried to interfere but Magnum was there to nullify the threat.  The fans popped as Magnum dumped Graham into his ice cream cart and took him to the back.  Mason complained and Ghee slapped on a power arm bar and locked him up to get the 1-2-3.  Ghee gets the win with seconds to spare and moves up the rankings and Mason moves down.



El Gato Negro is backstage being interviewed and questions why Scarlett Phoenix slapped her after their last match.  She feels that maybe they didn’t get everything accomplished they wanted so she tells Scarlett that when she wants a rematch, she’ll get one.



For our next match, the Ryzing Storm (Travis and Terra Ryzing) come out to challenge the Steel Curtain for their spot. Buzz and Starbuck Steel come out for the first time in a long time in front of a Tacoma crowd and they get a massive pop.  They head to the ring but before they can enter, the Ryzing Storm attack them.  The Ryzing storm had the advantage for a whole 3 minutes and then the Steel Curtain kicked it into high gear and there was no looking back.  Starbuck ended taking out Travis with a flying bodypress over the top rope.  Buzz then dropped Terra with a Superman punch and a hook of the leg got him the 1-2-3.  The Steel Curtain are successful in the defense of their spot in the lineup.  The fans pop again for them as they leave the ring.  (8 min)



Max is back in his office and he says that before the card is shown for the Phoenix Heat show, he worked hard to put together an estimated top 10 for both singles men and ladies.  Once the main event concludes, they will have a good idea of what that looks like.



It’s now time for our Main Event.  Missy Chick makes her way out to the ring and she gets a pop from the crowd.  Next, Figaroa Newton comes out to introduce the Ladies Champion Taylor Bella and both of them get the raspberry from the crowd.  They even started a “Figgy” chant.  After hollering for the fans to “shut their pie holes” he introduces the most dominating Ladies Champion ever…Taylor Bella.   Taylor comes out holding her title high while Figgy yells at the fans.  Taylor enters the ring prancing around the ring with her title.  She holds it into Missy’s face and then climbs the turnbuckle as the fans boo her.  Figgy leaves the ring and Taylor hands over her title and the bell rings kicking this one off.  Taylor dominated for the first 7 minutes and then there was a hiccup when Missy tried to retaliate against Figgy.  Not sure what happened as the ref even looked confused.  We now join the match at the 9 minute mark.

The show begins back in Master Bull’s office.  Sitting with him is his new hire The Banker and his manager Ruth Heartless.  Ruth stands there glaring at Bull holding the Banker’s briefcase.  Bull questions “So, do you plan on just attacking everyone backstage who makes fun of him.  The Banker slams his hands on Bull’s desk.  “Listen little man.  You paid a lot of money to bring me in and unless you’ve developed a sudden dislike of money, you’ll let this happen.  Winger has a mouth on him and he thinks he’s a big man on campus.  I was only showing him, well, that he’s not.  Now, if you’ll excuse me, since you didn’t bother putting me on the card tonight, we are out of here.”  The Banker and his manager turned and left the office.

Pyro goes off and our first match is ready to kick off.  Brick and TNT come out to a pop from the crowd.  Tonight, they are challenging the Hubers for their spot in the tag team lineup.  Music changes and out come Butch and Junior Huber.  The Hubers seem to be cashing in on the “Freebird” rule and the members of their Clan can interchange at any time.  Brick and TNT owned the match but Junior and Butch kept their chances alive with constant tags (and saves).  The final save came at the 30 minute mark when the bell rang bringing this one to a draw finish.  The Hubers retain their spot.  Brick and TNT were a bit disappointed but left without incident.  (30 min draw)

Backstage, Scooter J calls out World Champion Drew the Canadian Love Machine.  Scooter J is approached by the champ.  SJ puffs out his chest and says that the title changes hands tonight.  Drew shakes his head and tells him to be sure to leave the cronies back stage.  If he was any sort of man, he’d face him one on one.  Scooter J started to get snitty but Drew walked off. 

We’re ready for our next match.  Karl Braun from the 5th Column comes out and says he’s challenging Buzz Steel to a match for his spot.  Karl was in the ring alone when the music changed and Buzz Steel came out with his brother Starbuck and Biceps Bannerman.  The 6 man champions did the “too sweet” hand signal and Buzz went down to the ring.  Karl tried to attack Buzz before the bell but Buzz sent him flying out of the ring much to the fans delight.  The match eventually began but Buzz controlled the tempo right from the get go.  He showed why he was in the position he was in.  Karl put up a good fight and it took Buzz right to end to finally connect with a german suplex that allowed him to get the 1-2-3 with seconds to spare.  Buzz retains his spot.  His celebration was cut short when in from the crowd ran Baron von Blood and Oswald Zimmerman, the other members of the 5th Column.  The began to beat Buzz down but only seconds had elapsed before Starbuck and Biceps hit the ring and the Steel Curtain and Biceps decimated the Column who turn and ran.  The 6 Man champs stood tall in the ring as the Curtain yelled and cursed at them as they backed up the ramp.  (20 min)

We head backstage and the Axe is with his teammates Brick and TNT.  He tells them they came close but not to give up; just like he won’t against Barnes in his next match.  ‘Bad News’ Marvin Barnes walks over and tells the Axe he has some bad news for his teammates…he says Axe is lying to them when he says he walking away the victor.  Barnes laughs and heads to the ring.

Over the loudspeakers blares “I’ve got some Bad News for ya” and ‘Bad News’ Marvin Barnes makes his way down to the ring.  Next, the Axe makes his way out to a pop from the crowd.  Barnes is standing in the ring and beckons Axe to join him in the ring.  Axe makes it in and the bell rings almost immediately.  This match was nothing short of an ass kicking.  Axe practically destroyed Barnes but instead of going for a pin, he just continued to inflict damage…and inflict he did.  Barnes got in a lucky shot that sent the Axe flying over the top rope to the floor.  He rolled out after him and whipped out some handcuffs and cuffed Axe to the ringside barrier.  Axe struggled to get out of it but was unable to get free.  He ended up getting counted out and Barnes gets the win via countout decision.  (16 ½ min).  Barnes leaves and the ref finds the key and gets Axe free from his cuff.  He stormed off to the back.

Betsy Cummings is backstage being interviewed and she says she’s challenging Ravishing Raquel for her spot in the Ladies title lineup.  Her twin Felicia walks in and tells her sister that she has her back.  The two then leave.

Betsy Cummings makes her way down to the ring for the next match.  She, of course, is booed.  Next, Ravishing Raquel comes out and she is surprisingly accompanied by the Ambassador, the manager who manages her husband and brother in law Reid and Roderick Rothchild.  The Ambassador does not go with her to the ring but gives her some advice and then she heads to the ring.  Betsy tried to take the match to her opponent but Raquel fought back early on.  It wasn’t until Felicia pulled Betsy out of the ring and started to beat down a weary Raquel that the tide changed.  Raquel had tried to get her momentum back and tossed Felicia out of the ring and Betsy snuck back in and hit Raquel with a running kneelift.  Betsy made the cover and hooked the tights and got the 3 count.  Betsy Cummings steals the win and moves up while Raquel moves down.  (20 min mark)

Baron von Blood is backstage with Karl Braun and Oswald Zimmerman.  He curses the 6 man champs for sticking their noses in the Column’s business but tonight, he is challenging the ‘backwoods barnyard’ Outback Oscar for his spot.  He will defeat the Aussie and will move up in the rankings faster than lighting a match.  His Column teammates tell him they will have his back.

Baron von Blood makes his way down to the ring accompanied by his 5th Column teammates and the crowd boos them all.  Next, Outback Oscar comes out to a huge pop from the crowd.   He sees the Column standing in the ring and hesitates only a moment…until the Steel Curtain and Biceps Bannerman come out.  The 6 man champs rush the ring and go after Karl and Oswald and end up chasing them to the back leaving Baron on his own.  The two men fought hard but Oscar held the advantage for the majority of the match.  Although he tried multiple times, he could not keep the Baron’s shoulders on the mat for a 3 count.  Just as the time was running out, Baron viciously eye raked Oscar but before he could capitalize on it, the bell rang bringing this one to a draw finish.  Oscar retains his spot in the lineup.  Oscar left while the Baron argued with the ref and finally gave in and left.  (20 min draw)

Master Bull is in his office and he says that the show has been great so far but the best is yet to come.  He says that he secured the World Title defense for the Phoenix crowd and that they deserve it.  He also says that in a week, he’s getting the Tag Team Champions Elitism onsite to defend their titles.  He promises the cards will continued to excel in 2018.

It’s time for our Main Event.  First, the challenger Scooter J comes out and the fans boo him.  He flips random people off and gets into the ring.  He motions like he’s going to wear the title.  Music changes and out comes the World Champion Drew the Canadian Love Machine.  Drew gets the loudest pop of the night and Scooter J hates it. Drew eventually makes it to the ring and hands over his title to the ref and the bell rings kicking this one off.  Scooter J owned the first few minutes of the match but then Drew acted like it was time to get the action moving and he then began beating the hell out of Scooter J.  Both men went for pin attempts but both had the presence of mind to kick out.  The match had been going on for a bit and Scooter J started to get frustrated so he tossed Drew out of the ring but he was back in quick.  He then hit Drew with a bodyslam but Drew hit him with the La Casita.  SJ was down.  Drew picked him up and hit a second La Casita and this time, he went for the pin and got a 3 count.  Drew the Canadian Love Machine gets the win and retains his title.  The show comes to an end as he celebrates in the ring.  (19 min)
