Hello fans and
welcome back to another installment of HCW’s Phoenix Heat. Today’s show kicks off GM Master Bull making
his way to the stage. Bull says that 4
of Phoenix’s finest will be meeting tonight with two winners going on fight to
see who will become the interim World Champion.
Bull says he got an update on World Champion Buzz Steel. The doctors say
Buzz is recovering nicely but he will not rush his return to the ring. The fans will get to see Buzz back in the
ring at the Meltdown PPV that will be taking place in Phoenix, AZ on 7/4. Tonight, we will see Starbuck Steel take on
Scooter J and ‘the Ragin Cajun’ King Rad Gumbo will take on Texas Wildfire and
the two finalists will be back in a week to meet the final two from Tacoma
Thunder. Bull says the Tag Team titles
are on the line tonight when the Desperados take on the challengers from the
Snake Pit – Leiton and Niven Snake.
Also, tonight we will see the debut of a new team called the
Machines. And lastly, because of what
transpired a week ago, El Gato Negro has demanded a match against Starr
Vixen. We don’t want to waste any time
here so let’s get this one kicked off.
First, the 5th
Column (Baron von Blood, Oswald Zimmerman & Karl Braun) come out and are
booed as they make their way down to the ring.
Next, the Six Man Champions – The Banker and the Regulators – come out
with their manager Ruth Heartless and they too are booed as they head to the
ring. The Column tried to attack the
champs but they easily (with interference from Ruth) took the fight to the
Column and pretty much dominated the match (160 to 84). The end came after Regulator Mammoth caught
Karl Braun with an inverted superplex and got the easy 1-2-3. The Banker and the Regulators get the
win. Ruth joins them in the ring and
they celebrate briefly before departing.

Backstage, Scooter
J says that tonight he makes history as he goes on to destroy and dominate like
only he can. Tonight, SJ advances and
once he’s dominated the rest of the roster, he will have his hand raised in
victory as he is handed the Interim World Title. He will then go on to beat that schmuck Buzz
Steel and become the undisputed World Champion.
He laughs before walking off.
Also backstage is
Starbuck Steel. Starbuck says he knows
what it means to be World Champion. With
Buzz out of action (for the moment), he gets another chance to shine and Scooter
J will not stand in his way from getting the championship back.
We head to the
ring for our next match. First, Scooter
J comes out and is booed but he doesn’t seem to care. He flips off the fans from the ring. He takes a mic “Now, before my match begins,
I want all you fat, out of shape hogs to shut your pie holes and watch a true
master in the ring.” This elicited a
pretty vicious reaction from the crowd and SJ just laughed. Next, Starbuck Steel makes his way out high
fives the fans as he heads to the ring to a loud pop. He slides under the rope and goes nose to
nose with SJ in the center of the ring. Scooter
J went on the offensive right away and for the first 7 minutes, he held the
advantage but after getting hit with the Starplex from the top rope, things
began to turn to Starbucks way. Starbuck
began beating Scooter J all over the ring and SJ began to get desperate. He eye gouged Starbuck pretty bad but before
he could do anything, World Champion Buzz Steel came out on stage. The fans popped and Scooter J leaned over the
rope jawjacking with Buzz. Starbuck then
reached up and rolled Scooter J up in a small package and (taking a page out of
SJ’s handbook), he hooked the tights and got the 1-2-3. Starbuck Steel gets the win and rolls out of
the ring. He meets his brother on stage
and they collectively laugh at Scooter J.
Starbuck moves on in the tournament.
Scooter J tried to complain to the ref but he was mostly ignored. Scooter J stormed to the back. (15 min)
Backstage, King
Rad Gumbo is with Queen Alexandria and he says that it’s time for him once
again to add gold to his regal attire.
Tonight, he smothers the Wildfire and then goes on to the final
four. When asked what he thought his
chances were to go all the way, Gumbo almost hit the announcer. “Dis Cajun is going all da way. Don’t you worry Mon Ami. Dis Cajun will be champ again.”
It’s time for some
tag team action. First, the Ryzing Storm
(Travis and Terra Ryzing) come out and they are booed as they head to the
ring. Next, the newest addition to the
HCW roster the Machines come out to a mixed reaction from the crowd. We learned that they are called the “B” and “P”
Machines. The Storm goes on the offensive with P Machine
hurling Terra out of the ring on one side and B Machine hurling Travis out the
other. The Machines controlled the match
for about the first 15 minutes but then the experience of the Ryzing Storm took
over and they began to take over the match eventually. To the Machines credit, they would not give
up. Finally, the bell rang bringing this
one to a time limit draw. The Machines
had a solid outing. Terra did try to
attack P Machine after the match but he caught him and hit him with a move that
was extremely similar to the Phat’s Enough that Phat Sol used to do. Hang on a moment…could it be?...Nah. (30 min draw)
Texas Wildfire is
backstage and he says that Gumbo is full of Dungo. He knows that he has a tough match ahead of
himself but he knows that Wildfire will be runnin’ wild and he’s wondering what
Dungo’s gonna do when “the ‘Fire runs wild on you”.
Texas Wildfire
comes out first and the fans pop huge for him.
He high fives the fans as he makes his way to the ring. His pop is cut short when we hear the always
obnoxious “Gumbo 7:30 says it’s suppa time, bitch!” over the loudspeakers and
out comes the Ragin Cajun King Rad Gumbo and Queen Alexandria. The fans begin a “Dung-o” chant and the King
is pissed. Gumbo tries to cover his ears
but the fans are just too loud. Finally,
he gives up and heads to the ring. He attacks
Wildfire and the two are trading punches before the bell even rings starting
this one off. The two were pretty evenly
matched even with the Queen’s interference.
23 minutes into the match and Gumbo locked TW in the New Orleans Crab
trying for a submission. TW was in the
hold for a good solid 30 seconds and clawed his way to the ropes and grabbed
the bottom rope breaking the hold. Gumbo
got distracted by a few of the fans calling him “Dung-o” and he went out and
confronted him. While the ref was
helping Wildfire up, one of the fans popped up and…hang on…it’s World Champion
Buzz Steel and he catches Gumbo with a HUGE uppercut that probably loosened a
few teeth. Gumbo rolled back in the
ring. TW catches Gumbo with a snap
powerslam and he ends up getting the 1-2-3.
Texas Wildfire gets the win and celebrates with the fans and then heads
to the back. Queen Alexandria helps
Gumbo to his feet and helps him to the back.
Buzz smiles and high fives the fans around him and he too eventually
leaves.
El Gato Negro is
backstage and she says she has a bone to pick with Starr Vixen. Vixen thinks she’s all that but she
isn’t. El Gato says that she is the
upper echelon within HCW and she’ll prove it to Starr once and for all.
Also backstage are
the challengers to the Tag Team Titles the Snake Pit. Leiton and Niven Snake say that the
Desperados have been dodging them ever since they “won” the titles but tonight
that ends. The Snake Pit will win the
titles and then show the world how dominant of a team they truly are.
We go back to the
ring for a rematch of sorts. El Gato
Negro comes out first and is booed.
She’s been beaten by Starr Vixen a couple of times now and she really
wants to avenge those losses. Next,
Starr Vixen comes out and the fans pop for her.
She gets to the ring and El Gato makes like she’s going to attack her
but doesn’t (the mind games begin). The
bell rings and this one is off. This one
took off like a rocket but was almost over as soon as it started. Things began to get hot when Starr caught El
Gato with a flying fivearm but El Gato took her to the mat with a feline
facelock. El Gato then hit the 9 Lives
and she rolled up Starr (with her feet on the ropes the cheater) and got the 3
count. Starr kicked out just a fraction
of a second too late. El Gato rolled out
of the ring and backed up the ramp laughing and saying she outsmarted Starr
Vixen. I’m sure this one is not over. (4 min)
World Tag Team
Champions the Desperados (El Chango and Leon Teremoto) laugh at the insinuation
that they were dodging the Snake Pit. El
Chango says “We are not the match makers; we don’t set up matches… That falls
to our GM. We’ve stated over and over
that we will accept the challenge from any team at any time as long as it is
made official. It’s easy to hide behind
other teams and then claim we’re ducking you but now our match is official and
I can promise you that you’ll wish you stayed hidden behind the other
teams.” Leon looks at the camera and
says “We beat the most elite team in HCW – Elitism…I think we can handle
you.” The champs then walked off camera.
It’s time for our
main event. The challengers the Snake
Pit (Leiton and Niven Snake) come out first to a mixed reaction from the
crowd. Next, the champs the Desperados
come out and the fans pop for them.
Surprisingly it was the champs who started off as the aggressors double
teaming the Pit for 3 minutes but would tag in and out quickly to avoid the
wrath of the referee. With that
advantage, the champs kept control of the entire match and really became more
one-sided as the match went on. When the Pit tried to get the advantage by a
double team, the champs joined them in the ring for a slobber knocker taking
away any advantage the challengers may have been trying to get. El Chango locked Niven up with the Muta Lock
but he kicked out and tagged to Leiton.
As soon as Leiton hit the ring, El Chango took him down and locked in a
camel clutch. After cinching back just
far enough to cause extreme pain, he let go and rolled Leiton up for the
1-2-3. The Desperados get the win and
retain their titles. The show comes to
an end with El Chango and Leon Teremoto celebrating in the ring holding their
titles high over their heads.
Be sure to come
back as Tacoma gets their two finalists and then in one week, the four meet
here in Phoenix to crown an interim World Champion. Stay Tuned.
