Hello fans and
welcome back to our show. Today marks
our 675th episode of the Wrestling Newsletter and just so happens to
coincide with the Phoenix Heat Supershow.
Pyro goes off as the fans blow the roof off with all the noise they
could muster. Master Bull then comes out
and thanks everyone for attending live as well as watching on TV. He congratulates HCW on reaching such a
milestone and lets the fans know that the card tonight is packed solid. He is then interrupted by ‘The Ragin Cajun’
King Rad Gumbo who calls the fans sheep for just following whatever crap Master
Bull spits out. The fans of course boo
him. “Shut up and sit down. Now, as I was trying to say before I was
rudely interrupted was that I want to make sure that the coward Buzz Steel does
not have any chance to run away so I demand that our match be a no count-out /
no DQ match.” Bull says that the match
is one of the most important that we’ve seen in some time and says that Gumbo
actually had a good idea. “Now, we don’t
have time for any more of your garbage so get off the stage so we can get our
show started.” Gumbo stomps off in a
huff and Bull leaves so our show can get started.

Pyro goes off once
again and our first match is ready to begin.
Madame Jade makes her way out to a pop from the fans. She high fives the fans as she makes her way
to the ring. She soaks in the adulation
from the crowd but it is cut short and Jazz Emmett makes her way out. She gets into the ring and she is all
business. This match is for Jazz’s
future shot at the Ladies title. Jazz
goes right on the offensive and for the first 5 minutes of the match, she
controls the pace but Jade kicks it into high gear and for the next 7 minutes,
the two go head to head. Each chop, each
stomp elicited excitement from the crowd and then they were on their feet
cheering Jade on. Jade used the momentum
and began an aggressive run. At the 16
minute mark, Jade caught Jazz with a springboard dropkick and Jazz was out.
Madame Jade makes the cover and gets the 1-2-3.
Jade gets the win and wins the contract for a future match against the
Ladies Champion. She immediately takes
the contract out and signs it so that it cannot be put on the line. She holds the contract in her hand but her
celebration is cut short when Ladies Champion Candice Charisma comes out
laughing. She calls Jade stupid and
ignorant as she didn’t even bother to read what she just signed. Candice says that Jade has put her career on
the line all for a shot at her title.
Jade’s face goes white. Candice
says that once she finishes with that chump Ravishing Raquel later tonight, she
will give Jade her title shot and then send her to the unemployment line.
Ravishing Raquel
is backstage. She chuckles that the
Ladies Champion seems to want to have a beef with everyone on the women’s
roster. Maybe if she keeps picking on
people, she’ll intimidate everyone into leaving but she’s not going
anywhere. She’s show the champ that
holding the belt doesn’t make you the top dog in this yard. Candice will learn the hard way that this
roster is the toughest she will ever face.
Our next match is
ready to begin. First, El Gato Negro
comes out and the fans actually boo her.
She doesn’t even acknowledge them as she heads to the ring. Next, Lavender Gooms comes out and she makes
a bee line for the ring. El Gato bails
to the outside. The ref announces that
this match will be an Anything Goes Street Fight. This was about as one-sided as it gets. Now that El Gato is not being cheered by the
fans, she seems to have grown as a competitor and now has a ‘take no prisoners’
attitude and that was abundantly clear in this match. El Gato totally owned this match and Lavender
was lucky to get in maybe 6 moves the entire match. After dominating the match (47 to 145), El
Gato hits Lavender with the 9 Lives and makes the cover and gets the pin. El Gato Negro gets the win much to the dismay
of the fans. She turned her back on them
and Lavender and walked to the back. (15
min)
Texas Wildfire is
backstage and says that tonight, the man who stole his title gets what’s coming
to him. The thief will get a healthy
Wildfire and once he gets the win, he will be back in the title hunt.
We head to the
ring for our third match. Ravishing
Raquel comes out and the crowd pops. Her
music is abruptly cut off when the Ladies Champion Candice Charisma comes
out. The fans boo her and the smile on
her face becomes a frown. She has a mic
in hand and reminds everyone (yeah, we know) that this is a non-title match. Candice doesn’t get any chance for
showboating as Raquel goes right on the offensive connecting with a
moonsault. Raquel then picks up the
dazed champion and locks in the Ravishing Chickenwing. Candice struggles trying to reach for the
ropes but Raquel has it locked in.
Candice then does the unthinkable…and taps out. Raquel gets the dominant win in only 2
minutes. Candice immediately rolls out
of the ring, grabs her title and nursing her arm, rushes to the back cursing
Raquel the entire way. Raquel celebrates
with the fans briefly before heading to the back.
The Six Man Tag
Team Champions Wilber Townsend, Otto Ruthless and Talon McFrost are backstage
and they say that after tonight, they will have a new manager in their corner
who will help to ensure the belts never leave their waists. Otto says that Ruth will be one other trophy
they will share (SNAP!) The three have a
good laugh but I’m sure their opponent’s wont’ be.
Our next match is
a specialty match using Texas Death rules.
The winner of this match will be getting the next title shot at the TV
Champion the Unknown Assassin. First, “Ice
Dagger Baby” plays over the loudspeakers and ID makes his way out as the fans
boo him. He flips them off and makes his
way to the ring. Next, the music changes
and Texas Wildfire makes his way out and the fans pop huge for him. He high fives a few of the fans but then runs
to the ring. Ice Dagger bails out of the
ring. TW climbs each of the turnbuckles
to louder and louder pops from the crowd.
He gets his coat off and then motions for Ice Dagger to get back in the
ring. Reluctantly (and slower than molasses),
ID makes his way back into the ring. The
ref has the bell rung and just as TW was about to tear into him, Ice Dagger
jumped out of the ring. He really is
dragging this one out. Finally, after
what seemed like an eternity, he gets back in the ring and this one finally
begins. Only one word can describe this
writer’s surprise – DAMN! Texas Wildfire
beat the holy HELL out of Ice Dagger.
This one about as one sided as it could get. TW had many opportunities to go for a pin or
submission but he only wanted to punish Dagger all the more. 10 minutes in, Ice Dagger hits the Ice
Breaker and gets a 2 count. After that,
TW went back to what he does best and that was owning the match. At the 16 min mark, Texas Wildfire grabbed a
bullrope and used it to choke Ice Dagger out.
Once ID was sufficiently out, TW went for the pin and got the 3
count. Texas Wildfire gets the win in
dominating fashion (161 to 76). TW climbed
the corner to pops from the fans but then the lights went out and 3 seconds
later, we see TW laid out in the ring with the Unknown Assassin and his manager
J C Dykes standing over him. Dykes is
laughing and UA is staring at TW laid out.
Dykes grabs the champs’ arm and the two leave. TW is helped to the back. (16 min)
The Banker and the
Regulators are backstage with their manager Ruth Heartless and they say that
the Steel Cage may prevent any outside interference but the champs will not
have anywhere to go. The Regulators say
that their title reign begins tonight with the manager of champions Ruth at
their side. The Banker says Ruth is the
key to their success so don’t underestimate them.
The Steel Cage is
almost complete and we’re getting ready for our next match. First, Ruth Heartless comes out and
introduces her team of the Banker and the Regulators (Mammoth & Mule). The quartet head down to the ring and enter
the cage. Mammoth begins running the ropes
while Mule kicks the cage checking for any instability. The Banker paces while Ruth provides some
last minute advice. Music changes and
out comes the 6 Man Tag Team Champions – Wilber Townsend, Otto Ruthless &
Talon McFrost. They get a little better reception as the fans
don’t care for Ruth’s team. The champs
enter the cage and waste no time going after their challengers. For the first 4 minutes of the match, it was
pretty much a dead heat. All of a
sudden, a masked person came to the ring and was attempting to throw a chain to
Wilber’s team but Ruth “accidentally” bumped him (or her) and the chain went
flying over to the Banker who had no qualms about using to bust Talon up. The Banker and the Regulators then went on a
strong offensive run and the champs just couldn’t keep up. We join the match now at the 16 minute mark.

boots to Wilber, Otto and Talon until the blood flowed more freely. Ruth joined them in the ring and then SPIT on
the former champs and she stood tall with her team. They all left shortly thereafter to massive
booing from the crowd.
Backstage,
King Rad Gumbo is with his Queen Ms. Alexandria and he tells her that tonight
is their night. Tonight, the King
becomes the World Champion again and with his Queen at his side, nothing will
stop them from ruling all of HCW. He
laughs as they walk off.
We
go to a different interview area and World Champion Buzz Steel is pacing. He says that Gumbo is one of the craftiest
devils in HCW and tonight, Buzz says that, no offense to his brother Starbuck
but this will be the toughest match. But
then after that, so will the next match and so on and so on. When you’re the World Champion, it’s harder
to stay at the top than it is to claw your way up but he is Steel and Gumbo ain’t
got nuthin’ on him.
It’s time for our
Main Event. First, the royal music plays
and a red carpet is rolled from the stage to the ring. That is interrupted by “Gumbo 7:30 says it’s
suppa time bitch” and his royal pain in the ass-ness King Rad Gumbo and Queen
Alexandria make their way out. She does
the royal mock wave and Gumbo gives his own “salute” to the fans. The two walk down to the ring; Gumbo has one
briefcase in his hand and his Queen is carrying the other. After handing over his scepter, crown and
robe, the music changes and out comes the World Champion Buzz Steel. Buzz high fives the fans as he makes his way
to ringside. Before he can enter the
ring, Queen Alexandria walks over and gets in his face. She begins to jaw jack with him. He tells her to move or he’ll move her. He is then blindsided by Gumbo send him
crashing into the steel steps. Gumbo
rolls the champ back into the ring and the bell rings but the champ is at a
disadvantage. Queen Alexandria interfered
multiple times and even though this was a no DQ match, the ref threatened to
eject her from ringside if she interfered again. Things came down to the wire. In the 27th minute of the match,
Gumbo locked in the Onion Lock (Muta lock) and Buzz fought through the pain and
haze for almost 2 minutes. After making
it to the ropes to break the hold, Gumbo got up and was calling for the Crawdad
Crunch. Buzz struggled to his feet. Gumbo went in but Buzz hit a Buzz Cut out of
nowhere and rolled Gumbo up (one of his feet got “caught up” in the ropes) and
he got the 1-2-3. Buzz Steel gets the
win and the fans blow the roof off. Buzz
is the victor and holds the title high as the fans pop. Rad is irate and tries to tell the ref that
Buzz had his tights hooked. Rad, pissed
off, takes a mic and says that he is cashing in his second Money in the Bank
contract RIGHT NOW!
He attacks Buzz
again before the bell even rang in hopes of weakening the champ further. Queen Alexandria tried to get involved but
music hit and out came Starbuck Steel.
The fans popped huge. Starbuck
goes over and has words with the Queen.
Starbuck says something and Ms. Alexandria goes to slap him but Starbuck
grabs her wrist and then slaps a handcuff on it. She is astonished. Starbuck attaches the other to his own wrist and
he brings her over to two chairs that have been set up. It seems that with her out of the picture,
Gumbo is on his own. Gumbo didn’t really
need it as he went toe to toe with the champ for another 15 minutes. Neither man was able to get a pin or
submission. Queen Alexandria then
sprayed something at Starbuck and he was distracted long enough for her to get
out of the handcuffs and rush over to hand something to Rad. Starbuck was up and he grabbed the Queen
throwing her over his shoulder and started walking to the back. This caused just enough of a distraction for
Gumbo and that allowed Buzz to hit him with the Buzz Cut and score the 3 count. Buzz Steel wins back to back matches. Buzz takes his title and holds it high as he
walks up the ramp. He makes it to the
stage and holds it up pointing to the fans.
Gumbo is left screaming at him from the ring.
With that, the
show comes to an end.
Thanks for reading. Tacoma Thunder will be up in just a few short
days.
