https://hwfcswafantasy.blogspot.com


Hello fans and welcome to the 650th episode of our wrestling newsletter.  Tacoma is hosting a SUPER SHOW today where every match will be specialty rules.  Some of the hottest feuds in HCW come to a head right here in Tacoma so it will be interesting to see how they all play out.  A last minute change from GM Master Bull has pushed each match to have a 30 minute time limit instead of the normal 20 minute.  Here is today’s card and the specialty matches that have been assigned to each.

Pyro goes off and GM Master Bull comes out to kick off the show.  He says that, after his conversation with the owners and until GM Max McGillicutty makes a full recovery, he will be running both shows.  He promises not to show favoritism between the brands as both are equally important.  Tonight, Tacoma is hosting what is essentially a mini PPV of its own with this event.  Bull says that Tacoma, like Phoenix, appreciates the talent in the ring and they show their support by selling out these show weekly and he thanks the fans for the support.  He does not want to waste any time and says it’s time to get the ball rolling.  He leaves as pyro goes off once again.

The first match on the card begins with, blaring over the loudspeakers, we hear “DENIED” and out comes the Banker and his manager Ruth Heartless.  The fans boo them and the Banker threatens to hit the fans with his briefcase.  Finally he makes it into the ring and the ref immediate attaches the bull rope to his wrist.  The Banker then begins whipping the rope around trying to loosen up.  The music changes and out comes “Top Gun” Justin Winger and the fans pop for him.  This of course infuriates the Banker who complains to Ruth.  Winger makes it to the ring and is immediately fitted with the other end of the bull rope. 

The Banker used the cowbell early on bloodying up Winger but that didn’t stop him from taking the match to the Banker.  In the first 8 minutes of the match, the Banker went for pin attempts grabbing a handful of tights but Winger kept kicking out.  We join the match at the 10 minute mark.

===== In the 10th minute of the match: =====

'Top Gun' Justin Winger rolled OC.

The Banker rolled DC

'Top Gun' Justin Winger executes a INDIAN ROPE BURN....

1...2...3
The Banker was pinned by 'Top Gun' Justin Winger!!!

'Top Gun' Justin Winger wins with a HEAD-SMASH WITH COWBELL over The Banker!!!

Top Gun gets the win much to the delight of the fans.  The Banker is not thrilled with the outcome and yells at the ref for Winger grabbing the tights when going for the win.  The ref disregarded him.  The Banker swiped his briefcase from ringside and smacked Winger with it from behind.  He didn’t stick around and he along with his manager, left.  (11 min)

We cut backstage with Phat Sol first.  Phat says he’s 100% healthy but he was frustrated sitting on the sidelines and tonight he takes that frustration out on the Unknown Assassin.  Phat practically begs for Dykes to interfere so he can take him out too.

Also being interviewed is J C Dykes and the Unknown Assassin.  Dykes responds saying that if Phat so much as lays a finger on him, he’ll be out of action this time on a lawsuit.  Dykes says that there is no way Phat is getting his hands on the money in the bank briefcase and will once again face the wrath of the Unknown Assassin.

We head to the ring for our next match.  This is a Lights Out match between the Unknown Assassin and Phat Sol.  Phat comes out first to a huge pop from the crowd.  Next, security comes out to line the ramp to the ring and J C Dykes and the Unknown Assassin come out and are booed as they walk down to the ring.  UA immediately attacks Phat. 


===== In the 1st minute of the match: =====

The Unknown Assassin rolled OC.

Phat Sol rolled OC.

The Unknown Assassin executes a Standing Crossface.... (Dykes then throws a roll of quarters to UA but Phat intercepts it)

1...2...3...4...5...6...7...8...9...10
The Unknown Assassin is counted out!!!


Phat Sol wins with a ROUNDHOUSE WITH ROLL OF QUARTERS - Count Out over The Unknown Assassin!!!

Phat Sol gets the win in ONE MINUTE with a KO of the Unknown Assassin.  Dykes is LIVID.  Phat grabs the money in the back contract and heads to the back.  It takes a few moments for UA to be revived but once he is, he is NOT a happy camper.  Dykes says he’s taking this to the high court.

Scooter J is backstage.  SJ says that when they were a team, TNT and the Axe hogged the limelight for themselves placing themselves above the team (wait...that is what Scooter J did actually) and tonight, since Axe decided to align himself with SJ bitter enemy Brick, then Axe is an enemy by association.  He promises to not only beat Axe but will send him to the hospital.

Davis Hoffmeister is also being interviewed and he says that he’s waited a long time and dealt with enough BS from Sammy and Figgy.  Tonight, once he defeats Sammy and gets Newton in the ring, he’ll show the world he means business.


Our next match is ready to begin.  First, Scooter J comes out and the fans boo the shit out of him.  He is not liked by anyone in this entire building. Next, the Axe comes out and gets a big pop from the crowd.  He makes his way to the ring and the ref announces this will be an ECW rules match.   Scooter J busted the Axe open early in the match and the loss of blood took the steam out of Axe’s engine.  Axe did manage to draw blood of his own after bouncing SJ’s face off the steel steps.  The war continued as we hit the 21 minute mark.

===== In the 21st minute of the match: =====

The Axe rolled OC.

ScooterJ rolled DC

The Axe executes a Power Punch....

The Axe goes for it again but SJ moves and Axe hits his head on the exposed turnbuckle bracket.  He staggers to the middle of the ring and…

ScooterJ executes a SUPERKICK....

ScooterJ is attempting a pin!!! (and illegally hooks the tights)

1...2...3
The Axe was pinned by ScooterJ!!!


ScooterJ wins with a SUPERKICK over The Axe!!!


Scooter J gets the win and the fans are not happy with the decision.   A few of the fans tried to complain that SJ had a handful of tights (and he leg on the ropes for leverage) but SJ silenced them by grabbing their sodas and THROWING IT INTO THEIR FACES!  SJ leaves laughing all the way to the back.

We head to the back again and this time Mustang Sammy is with Figaroa Newton.  Newton is sweating profusely.  “I’m not a wrestler; he CAN’T put his hands on me.”  Sammy tells him “Relax. I’ve got this figured out.   He won’t touch you.  Hoff, I’ve waited long enough and you will feel the pain and suffering like you’ve never experienced.  Tonight, you’re my BITCH!”  (Funny enough, the network sensors missed this and the ‘bleep’ came after he cursed.)

Also backstage is Candice Charisma and she says that tonight, the guard changes and she defeats the phony Duchess and takes the championship.  She also says that regardless of who wears a crown, it’s about who has the gold and being the Ladies Champion will be greater than some off-the-rack costume that Raquel can wear.

Next, our “I Quit” match is ready to begin.  First, Figgy, err, I mean Figaroa, comes out and he’s booed.  He introduces Mustang Sammy and the reaction he receives is about equal.  They head to the ring.  Figgy is then escorted out of the ring and handcuffed to the commentary table.  He complains but Sammy tells him to relax.  Next, Davis ‘The Hoff’ Hoffmeister comes out and the fans practically blow the roof off the place.  He gets into the ring and wasting no time, tells Sammy to ‘Bring it’.   For 25 minutes, the two of them beat the holy hell out of each other.  This one was about inflicting damage.   Davis had control for half the match but Sammy took over and after putting Davis through the commentary table (and thus freeing Figgy from his station), the match went Sammy’s way.  We join now at the 26 minute mark.

===== In the 26th minute of the match: =====

Davis "the Hoff" Hoffmeister rolled DC

Mustang Sammy rolled OC.

Mustang Sammy executes a THE HANDLEBAR (CAMEL CLUTCH)....

Davis "the Hoff" Hoffmeister attempts to defend against THE HANDLEBAR (CAMEL CLUTCH) but is unsuccessful.

===== In the 27th minute of the match: =====

Davis "the Hoff" Hoffmeister straps in the WRAP MICROPHONE CORD AROUND FOE'S THROAT.
Mustang Sammy does not submit!


After 30 minutes, the match is declared a draw.


This hard fought match comes to an end with no single winner.  Figgy helped Sammy up and helped him to the back.  Figgy escaped pain and suffering this time but I’m sure Davis isn’t finished with them yet.  Davis leaves to a pop from the crowd.

Backstage, the Ladies Champion the Duchess says that it’s time for Candice to go back to her mommy and say that she needs a new job because the Duchess just SCHOOLED her. Duchess tells Candice she’s living in a fantasy world and in that world, Candice can be whatever she wants but here in HCW, she’s at the top of the mountain and no one, especially some upstart wannabee

Manager J C Dykes storms into Master Bull’s office complaining and Bull said that he’s had enough.  Dykes can both shut his trap and leave now or he and UA can be suspended and then they can contemplate what the unemployment line looks like.  Dykes storms out but mumbles under his breath that Phat will pay and it will all be on Master Bull.

The crew are finishing setting up the steel cage for our next match.  Once they are finished, the bell rings to introduce the next match.  First, Candice Charisma comes out and the fans boo.  She ignores them and rushes the ring.  She climbs the cage and goes in over the top.  She then starts bouncing off the ropes to loosen up.  Next, the music changes and out comes the Ladies Champion the Duchess.  The fans are mixed and she makes her way down to the ring holding her title above her head.  She walks around the ring holding the title high and then makes her way to the door.  She enters the ring and hands her title over to the ref.  He then hands it to the ring technician who takes it and places it on the commentary table.   This one kicks off.   Candice owned the Duchess (a score of 108 vs 208) and even though the Duchess blinded Candice by raking her face across the cage, it didn’t slow her down.  18 minutes in, the Duchess locked in the All Hail Her Majesty and just when it looked like Candice would tap out, she made it to the ropes to break the hold.  Candice got a near fall after choking the Duchess between the ropes and the cage.  We now jump to the 27th min of the match.

After 30 minutes, the match is declared a draw. 


The ref is handed the Ladies title and he in turn hands it to the Duchess.  Exhausted, she holds it high over her head.  As she leaves the ring, Candice screams at her “I’m not done with you yet.”  The Duchess turns and smiles and says “I’m through with you”.  She turns and walks away.  Candice seethes in the ring and eventually leaves.

We cut to the back where The Banker is seen backstage destroying the locker room. He is finally approached by his manager Ruth Heartless who asks what is wrong.

“That CHEATER!  I’ve had it with Top Gun. His time has come, and humiliating him just isn’t enough anymore! I don’t just want to end his chances at a title! I want to destroy him. I want to get him in that ring, and blow by blow take everything he has left! His time has come Ruth, it’s my destiny to make him pay his DEBTS!” (Takes a deep breath) “Winning isn’t enough anymore, he needs to pay with blood!”

It’s now time for our Main Event.  Utilizing the Falls Count Anywhere rule, we begin with Steel Curtain member Starbuck Steel coming out to a pop from the crowd.  He makes his way down to the ring and does some posing for the crowd which they eat up.  Next, the music changes and out comes the World Champion Drew the Canadian Love Machine.  The fans pop so loud that it was almost deafening.  Drew makes his way down to the ring and climbs each turnbuckle as the fans pop louder and louder.  Drew hands over his title to the ref who has it set at the commentary desk.  Drew shakes the extended hand of Starbuck and the bell rings starting this one off.

This one started off insane with Drew hitting his signature corkscrew pescado but Starbuck took him out of the ring and DDT’d Drew on the steel steps before hitting the Shooting Star Buck.  The fans yelled “HOLY SH*T!”  and the match continued much the same way with both men hitting high profile moves.  Drew controlled the first 10 minutes of the match but after Starbuck hit a Starplex (slingshot suplex) from the apron and both went crashing through the commentary table.  More “HOLY SH*T” chants rang out and both men made it back to their feet.  Drew rolled Starbuck back into the ring and then set up another table.  He attempted to hit a plancha through the table but Starbuck was able to nullify it.  We join the match at the 14 minute mark and by this time, tempers has begun to flare.

===== In the 14th minute of the match: =====

Drew the Canadian Love Machine rolled DC

Starbuck Steel rolled OC.

Starbuck Steel executes an EYE RAKE....

Drew the Canadian Love Machine absorbs the punishment.

Starbuck Steel wins with a PLANCHA OPPONENT THROUGH TABLE over Drew the Canadian Love Machine!!!

Starbuck has just defeated Drew to become the NEW WORLD CHAMPION!!!  Starbuck’s brother Buzz comes out with Biceps Bannerman and a good chunk of the back and they hoist Starbuck on their shoulders as the fans pop.  There is a small break where Drew turned back towards the ring and he and Starbuck nodded to each other.  Drew then left allowing Starbuck to enjoy his moment.

With that, the show comes to an end.  Here is a preview of our next show:

HCW Wrestling Newsletter 2018 #649 – Phoenix Heat

https://hwfcswafantasy.blogspot.com

Hello fans and welcome back to our episode of HCW’s Phoenix Heat.  Before the show can begin, there is commotion backstage and it appears that the Banker has once again attacked ‘Top Gun’ Justin Winger.  The Banker took off as security closed in.  GM Master Bull ran over and after talking with an upset Winger, he decided to play it safe and remove Top Gun from the card tonight.  He says that Sonic Blade is in the house and he will wrestle tonight.  Winger said he could fight but Bull told him that things will work themselves out.  Winger is attended to by the medics and Master Bull takes off to his office.

With Winger off the card today, our revised line up looks like this:

Pyro goes off and the show begins.  Otto Ruthless comes out first and he’s almost booed out of the building.  Next, Sonic Blade comes out and the fans pop for him.  He makes his way down to the ring and this one begins right away.   It’s not quite a domination but Sonic easily controlled the match.   He stretched his muscles in this one and after hitting Otto with an atomic drop, he went for the cover and got the 3 count.  Sonic Blade wins this one solidly.  (13 min)  His celebration is cut short when Wilber Townsend runs in from the crowd and he and Sonic fight all the way to the back.

Back in his office, Master Bull says that the Iron Man match between Sonic Blade and Wilber Townsend will be one for the record books.  He knows the two of them will blow everyone’s mind and he knows it will set all kinds of records.   He seems pretty happy with his set up of this match.

Next on the card is a 6 man tag team match.  First, the Snake Pit (Leiton, Niven & Tobias Snake) comes out to a mixed reaction from the crowd.  Next, the 5th Column (Baron von Blood, Oswald Zimmerman & Karl Braun) come out and there is no mistaking who is more hated.  The Column get booed and that seems to irritate them all the more.  It didn’t matter how mad the Column got, they were just no match for the Pit.  Niven drives Oswald into the corner with a spear and then follows it up with a corner clothesline.  Niven shoves Oswald to the mat and covers him for the 1-2-3.  Niven gets the win for the pit.  Baron and Karl pull Oswald out of the ring and the three of them head to the back.  The Snake Pit stand in the center of the ring and put their fists together and then leave.  (8 min)

The Unknown Assassin and J C Dykes are backstage and they say that tonight, they will destroy the Crocodile Hunter and will take his contract.  When asked which title he’d cash it in if he wins, the Unknown Assassin (who rarely speaks) just says “the only one that matters” and he and Dykes walk off.

The next match is ready to go.  Former Ladies Champion Taylor Bella comes out with her manager Figaroa Newton and they are booed all the way to the ring.  Taylor gets a mic and tries to speak but the fans drown her out.  Figgy takes the mic and tells everyone to “SHUT UP!” but that only agitates them all the more.  She is challenging Felicia Cummings for her spot in the line up.  Felicia comes out and the fans pop for her even though she’s not exactly the most fan friendly either.  Taylor and Felicia traded owning the match but once Figgy started sticking his nose (and other foreign objects) into the match, the tide began to go Taylor’s way.  Taylor did try for multiple pin attempts but Felicia kept kicking out.  This went on for the entire match and Taylor began to panic as the seconds ran out.  In an act of desperation, Taylor hit a sunset flip but Felicia held on to the ropes.  Figgy then hit Felicia’s hands getting her to let go of the ropes and Taylor grabbed a handful of tights to secure the 3 count with seconds to spare.  Taylor gets the win and moves up in the rankings while Felicia falls off.  Taylor and Figgy celebrated as the fans booed.  They eventually left.  (19:56)

We are back in Max’s office again and he addresses the Ghouls vicious attack on the Tacoma GM Max McGillicutty.   He says that he will be meeting with the owners Mr. Bychowski and Mr. Meyers in the next couple of days to discuss how they want to handle the super show. 

The next match is ready to go.  Outback Oscar comes out first and the crowd pops for him.  Next, Scooter J comes out and the crowd turns their noses up at him.  He takes offense and flips them off laughing at all the snooty, stuck up, half-wits.  He gets in the ring and also flips off Oscar before showboating on the turnbuckles.  Scooter J held the advantage for all about 3 minutes until the Axe came out.  Axe looked like he wanted to rush the ring and tear SJ’s head off but he went to sit at commentary.  Scooter J was totally off his game and Oscar took advantage of it.  12 minutes in, Oscar hits SJ with a spinning elbow drop and he makes the cover and gets the 1-2-3.  Outback Oscar gets the win.  He looks at the Axe and nods and leaves the ring.  The Axe slowly makes his way into the ring.  Scooter J finally recovers and gets to his feet and he hears the fans pop.  He has a look of horror on his face.  He slowly turns around with his eyes wide open and he visibly gulps.  Axe begins to pepper him with lefts and rights and throws him to the ropes trying to hit the Axe but SJ grabs the ropes and slips out to avoid any further beat down.  He takes a breath but then freaks when Axe comes after him.  Axe chased SJ all the way to the back. These two will meet at the super show and there will be nowhere for either to go.

We head to the back where TV champion Texas Wildfire is being interviewed.  He says that he’s looking forward to all challenges and tonight is no exception.  He knows Reid Rothchild is a real badass and he is not underestimating him or his manager the Ambassador.  He says that if things stay on the up and up, they should have a great match with the best man winning.

Manager J C Dykes comes out first and the fans boo the loudest of the night.  The Unknown Assassin comes out and we’re proven wrong as the fans are even louder in this dislike of this duo.  They wait impatiently as security comes out and lines the ramp.  Dykes and UA make their way down and enter the ring.  Security leaves as the music changes and out comes the US Champion the Crocodile Hunter.   Croc comes out to a huge pop from the crowd carrying his briefcase containing his money in the bank shot.   Dykes hollers that the briefcase is coming to UA tonight.  Dykes made it a point to get involved often in this one and made sure to stay out of sight of the ref.  This allowed UA to stay a couple of steps ahead of the US champion.  UA stunned Croc after throwing some forearm shots against Croc’s eardrums.  Croc did manage to shake it off and hit a sherdrop brainbuster.  Both men needed a minute to continue.  Croc hit the ropes and Dykes tripped him.  He stumbled and UA blasted him with some karate chops.  The Unknown Assassin goes for the pin and (with Dykes holding his leg down out of sight of the ref) the 1-2-3.  Dykes runs over and grabs the briefcase.  Dykes says they will cash it in when they are good and ready.  They leave.  Croc eventually leaves also.  (18 min)

The camera pans upwards and we see Crow Phat Sol repelling his way down to the ring.  The fans pop for him.  He gets on the mic and tells the fans that he has been cleared for a return to the ring.  They pop even louder.  He takes a mic and calls out Dykes and the Unknown Assassin.  They come back out irritated that they have to come back out to the ungrateful fans.  He tells them that he has been cleared to come back and will be taking on UA at the super show on Sunday.  Dykes laughs and says “fat chance” but Phat produces a contract that shows the match is approved AND that briefcase will be on the line.  The fans pop and Dykes fumes.  He tells the Unknown Assassin to rush the ring which he does but Phat is hoisted back to the rafters.  UA kicks the ropes and shakes his fist but eventually leaves.

We go backstage where the Banker says that he’s fine with not being on the show having taken out Top Gun but the look of shock on his face when Winger walks up, bandaged, and says he’s taking the high road and will be 100% when they meet in 4 days.  Winger walks off and the Banker is speechless.

It’s time for the Main Event.  First, ½ of the World Tag Team Champions ‘The Elitist’ Reid Rothchild comes out with his manager the Ambassador and they head to the ring to a pop from the crowd.  The music changes and out comes the TV Champion Texas Wildfire.  TW gets one of the loudest pops of the night.  He makes his way down to the ring, climbs each turnbuckle and then hands his title to the ref who holds it high.  Reid and TW shake hands and this one begins.  The match is controlled by the champ until the Ambassador used some peanuts to eye gouge TW. Reid questioned what his manager was doing. TW got a little more angry and almost lost it after he got trapped in the Figure Four Reid lock (Ambassador was pulling his arms for leverage) but TW finally made it to the ropes.  TW finally had enough and peppered Reid with rapid-fire punches and he rolled Reid up for the 1-2-3.  Texas Wildfire gets the win and there is a bit of tension between the two but they both shake hands and go their separate ways.  TW starts to make his way to the back but the Unknown Assassin comes out and stands in his way.  He holds up the briefcase and then points to TW’s title.  It looks like UA has chosen the title he wants to go after (IF he survives against Phat). 

With that, the show comes to an end. 

Editor’s note:  Master Bull met with the owners and it was decided that he would be the sole GM for both brands until Max is able to return to his duties.  Bull will be heading to the Super Show on Sunday and says he will have a message for Graham’s Ghouls once he returns to Phoenix.

Here is the lineup for the super show.  All matches will be specialty but some may not be disclosed until the show begins.

Hello fans and welcome back to our latest installment of HCW’s Tacoma Thunder.  We are coming hot off the heels of our Reigning Royalty PPV that saw both a new Queen and King of HCW crowned with Ravishing Raquel becoming the new Queen and ‘The Ragin Cajun’ Rad Gumbo becoming the new King.  Since some of our wrestlers had some flight issues out of Phoenix due to heat (can you believe it’s in the 80’s and it’s only February?) so those who were able to make it back were added to today’s show.  Here is the lineup for today.

The pyro goes off and GM Max McGillicutty comes out and thanks the fans who not only made the trek down to Phoenix for the PPV but those who tuned in on PPV.  He says he’s not going to waste a lot of time right now as he will be back at the end of the show with a huge announcement.  He leaves, pyro goes off once again and our show is ready to go.

The all-too-annoying music “Ice Dagger Baby” plays and Ice Dagger comes out…oh geez…dressed like Vanilla Ice.  The fans boo and heckle him as he makes his way down to the ring.  He flips them off as that seems to be all he knows how to do.  Next, we hear the old western music play and out comes El Chango to a HUGE pop from the crowd.  He high-fives the fans as he makes his way down into the ring.  Ice Dagger goes on the offensive attacking El Chango and he held the advantage (surprisingly) for the entire match.  10 minutes in, El Chango stuns Ice Dagger with a swinging neckbreaker.  He then got tossed out of the ring by ID.  ID drags El Chango back into the ring and connects with a vertical suplex.  El Chango then leapt to the top turnbuckle which got a pop from the crowd and then nailed a moonsault.  Ice Dagger saw the writing on the wall and rolled out of the ring.  He threw up his hands and walked off.  Ice Dagger gets counted out and El Chango wins the match.  El Chango hangs around for a few minutes before leaving.  (12 ½ min)

Backstage, the Axe is hanging out talking with Brick and TNT when Scooter J runs in and levels the Axe with a chair.  He threatens to use it against Brick and TNT trying to egg them on.  They stood over the Axe to prevent SJ from inflicting further damage.  Scooter J says that he isn’t done with them and he will take them out one by one.

Our second match kicks off when TNT comes out to a pop from the crowd.  He makes his way down to the ring.  Next, Davis ‘The Hoff’ Hoffmeister comes out and the crowd goes berserk.   He makes his way down and the match begins pretty quickly.  For about 9 minutes, TNT hung in there with the Hoff only to start getting winded and Hoff taking him down with a roundhouse kick.  TNT struggled to keep up after that and after going an additional 9 minutes, Davis catches TNT with a flying dropkick and makes the cover to get the 1-2-3.  Davis gets the win.  He helps TNT to his feet and shakes hands much to the delight of the crowd.  TNT leaves and Hoff asks for a mic.

He holds up a contract and calls out Mustang Sammy.  Sammy comes out with his manager Figaroa Newton.  The two make their way down to the ring.  Hoff tells Sammy that he seems to want to be in the ring with him so bad so he says Max approved a match at the supershow in a week and all Sammy has to do is sign.  Sammy snatches the contract out of Davis’ hand and scribbles his signature on it.  Sammy throws the contract and pen back at Davis and after a bit of jaw jacking, he and Figgy leave.  Just before they went backstage, Davis got on the mic and began laughing. “Come on, I thought you were smarter than this.  You didn’t even bother to read this.  I’ll use little words so you both can understand.   Match…you…me.  I beat you, I get Figgy in the ring for 5 minutes!”  Figaroa starting screaming and jumping up and down yelling at Sammy to get that contract and tear it up.  Sammy rushed to the ring but Davis took off through the crowd laughing all the way.   Figgy better hope Sammy wins.

Our next match on the card has two more fan favorites duking it out.  First, Leon Teremoto comes out to a pop from the crowd.  Next ‘Red Hot’ Lucas Johnston comes out also to a pop.  The two men shake hands in the middle of the ring and this one is off to the races.  Leon was definitely the more aggressive in this match still smarting from losing the Hardcore title.  Lucas barely could keep up.  The longer the match went on, the more Lucas struggled.  He managed to pop Leon with some forearm shots.  Leon countered with a side headlock followed by a Gorilla hug (Lucas did not tap but was worn out by now) and then planted him with a powerbomb.  Leon made the cover and got the 3 count.  Leon Teremoto gets the win.  He helps Lucas to his feet and the two leave.  (15 min)

The Six Man Tag Team Champions The Steel Curtain and Biceps Bannerman are backstage and the talk about how this will be an even playing field with Goofball Graham absent from ringside.  Buzz Steel says that tonight will be the last time we will see Graham, Mason, Wolfman Keg and the evil vampire Dr. Red Fang.  Starbuck adds in that they are the greatest team to ever hold these titles.  Biceps says that he knows the Ghouls will be playing dirty but guess what…they will if they have to.  All three men lean in and say “Word!”

Our next match begins with Wendell Hammerschmidt making his way down to the ring to a very mixed reaction from the crowd.  Next, World Champion Drew the Canadian Love Machine comes out to the loudest pop of the night.  The title is not on the line for this match as Drew is looking to keep himself loosened up and ready for his title defense on Sunday at the Supershow against. Starbuck Steel.  Wendell doesn’t do well with all the attention Drew is getting so he attacks him.  This one didn’t really take much as Drew was in top form and in just two minutes, he hits a corkscrew pescado and gets the 3 count.  Drew wins the match in dominating fashion.   Wendell leaves the ring and Drew celebrates with the fans before departing.

The next match is ready to go and Madame Jade makes her way out and the crowd pops for her.  She shakes the hands of fans as she makes her way to the ring.  As she is psyching up the crowd, her opponent Candice Charisma comes out armed with a microphone.  She yells for the fans to shut up and sit down.  She then begins to bitch about being eliminated in the battle royal by Ravishing Raquel who used illegal tactics to make it happen. She also said that the Duchess seems to be paying people off to try and take her out because she is afraid of her.  She finishes with that at the supershow, not only will she teach the Duchess a lesson but will take the title.  Now, she takes on this…schmuck.  She heads to the ring and the fans boo her pretty bad.   For 13 minutes, the two women fought tooth and nail.  After that, Candice hits back to back hurricanrana’s and after the second one, she went for a pin but Jade kicked out.  Candice turned up the heat and over the next 6 minutes, went for multiple pin attempts only for Jade to keep kicking out.  We join in the final moments of the match.

===== In the 20th minute of the match: =====

Candice Charisma (f) rolled DC

Madame Jade (f) rolled OC.

Madame Jade (f) executes a HEAD SMASH INTO CORNER....

Candice Charisma (f) reverses HEAD SMASH INTO CORNER!
Candice Charisma (f) executes a ELBOW DROP....

Madame Jade (f) attempts to defend against ELBOW DROP but is unsuccessful.

Candice Charisma (f) is attempting a pin!!!

1...2...
Madame Jade (f) kicks out of the pin!

After 20 minutes, the match is declared a draw.

This one ends in a draw finish and Candice is even more pissed.  She hurls Madame Jade out of the ring and then screams for the Duchess but she isn’t there.  She ends up storming off but GM Max McGillicutty comes out and says that Candice vs the Duchess will be for the title and in a steel cage at the supershow.  Candice storms off.

It’s time for the main event.  The Ghouls come out first as “VAMPIRE LUNGES FOR EVERYONE” blares over the loudspeakers.  Dr. Red Fang, Wolfman Keg and Mason the Mangler come out and the fans boo the hell out of them.  They don’t care.  They head to the ring, leaderless, as Ant Graham is barred from ringside.  He does however come out on the stage.  He acknowledges that he is, in fact, barred from ringside but he has, for one match, given a new manager a one day contract to lead his team to the titles.  He laughs as he says he found a loophole and introduces the manager for King Rad Gumbo – MJ!  MJ shakes hands with Graham and heads down to the ring. Next, the music hits and out comes the 6 Man champs the Steel Curtain and Biceps Bannerman.  Buzz walks over to Ant Graham and makes like he’s going to hit Graham who flinches.  Buzz, Starbuck and Biceps laugh and head down to the ring.  This no count out, 60 minute time limit starts right away and MJ wastes no time providing the Ghouls with intel and they used it well.  MJ did a better job than Graham could have.  Starbuck was immediately put through a table taking him effectively out of the match.  Biceps was double and triple teamed for 11 straight minutes.  Finally, he makes the hot tag to Buzz and the fans exploded.  He psyches up the crowd and turns around only to get blasted with a Vampire Lunge.  Dr. Red Fang makes the cover and gets the 1-2-3!   Graham’s Ghouls gets the win and become the NEW 6 MAN TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS!  With that, the Steel Curtain and Biceps Bannerman now have to split up and the Steel Curtain cannot team together again for 6 months.  Ant Graham makes his way to the ring and shakes hands with MJ who then leaves.  Graham and his Ghouls celebrate their win in the ring.  

Right before the show could come to an end, GM Max McGillicutty comes out to the ring and says that the bombshell he is announcing is that every match at the super show will be a specialty match.  The fans pop but Graham is not happy the GM interrupted his team’s celebration.  Graham has Dr. Red Fang attack the GM and then the other Ghouls join in.  Fang finishes up with a Vampire Lunge on the GM.   The show comes to an end as Graham and his Ghouls stand over the bloody GM and the fans boo viciously.

I am sure there will be serious repercussions to this egregious attack.
