Hello fans and
welcome back to another installment of HCW’s Phoenix Heat. The show begins backstage with GM Master
Bull arriving and heading to his office.
He is cut off by crony Emmett Millbarge.
Emmett asks Bull where he thinks he’s going. “My office you dolt. Now get out of my way.” Emmett puts a hand up. “Not so fast.
Actually, you aren’t needed here so go on and scoot on home little
man.” Bull gets right in Emmett’s face
and grabs him by his shirt. “You want to
see this ‘little man’ kick your ass?”
Emmett asks “Was that a threat?
Oh my, I think I’ve been threatened.
Security!” A handful of Phoenix’s
finest walk over. Emmett continues “Good
people, this man just threatened me and I want him escorted off the premises.” One of the police asks “He’s the general
manager right? I think he has a right to
be here.” Emmett puffs out his chest. “I’M the one in charge here and I’m demanding
he be removed from here.” The officer
states that Bull hasn’t done anything to warrant being removed. Emmett
then calls for an instant replay and its shown where Bull put his hands on Emmett. The officer shakes his head. “Master Bull, will you come with us
please?” Bull glared at Emmett and left
with the officers. After everyone was
gone, Emmett exclaimed, “Well, that was easy.
One down, one to go (referring to Tacoma GM Max McGillicutty) and the
show is OURS!” He laughs as the segment
ends and we head to the ring.
Pyro goes off and
our first match begins. Missy Chick
makes her way out first to a decent pop from the crowd. Next, Taylor Bella comes out and she is
booed. The match begins almost
immediately and Taylor got in one good shot before Missy took control of the
match. Both women got in some good licks
but Missy did her best to keep Taylor down.
Missy tried to wear down Taylor by slapping on a scissored armbar but
Taylor made it to the ropes to break the hold.
Taylor came back with a sunset flip but only got a 2 count. She hits a second sunset flip but Missy made
it to the ropes to break the hold. Missy
then took Taylor off her feet and kept her on the defensive. Taylor went to the ropes but didn’t do
anything so Missy connected with a Missy Plex.
Missy makes the cover and gets the 3 count. Missy gets the win and celebrates with the
fans while Taylor leaves the ring in a huff.
(17 min)
Emmett confronts a
few of the wrestlers backstage and asks who wants to skyrocket to stardom. Tobias Snake, Angry Jack and Travis ‘Dark
Storm’ Ryzing are the first to speak up.
Emmett says that they will all be in matches tonight and if they win,
there may be some gold in their future.
We head back to
the ring for our next match. First,
Muscles Thorpe comes out wearing his rainbow colored bull horns and his box of
Booty-O’s cereal. He laughs with the
fans as he makes his way down to the ring.
His fun is cut short when the Ambassador and ‘The Elitist’ Reid
Rothchild come out. The fans boo them as
they head to the ring. Reid gets into
the ring and begins to stretch. Thorpe
pulls out a handful of cereal and throws it laughingly at Reid. That pissed him off and he attacked
Thorpe. Reid got in one good shot but
then Thorpe began tossing Reid around like a ragdoll. The Ambassador kept yelling to Reid trying to
give him some instructions but Thorpe would rush over and the Ambassador had to
keep backing off form the ring. Thorpe
then hits a rib breaker but then gets tossed out of the ring by Reid. Reid, nursing his ribs, distracted the ref
while the Ambassador blasted Thorpe with a steel chair. He then backed off and the
ref began his count. As soon as he hit
10 and it was apparent that Thorpe wasn’t going to make it back in, the bell
rings and Reid scores a win via countout.
The Ambassador joins him in the ring and the two celebrate much to the
dismay of the fans. They eventually leave. (7 ½ min)
The Undisputed
World Champion ‘the Ragin Cajun’ King Rad Gumbo shows up with Queen Alexandria
on his arm. As they are making their way
backstage, they are stopped by former champs Buzz and Starbuck Steel. Starbuck says they have a great idea for the
supershow. Starbuck says that they
should have a Triple Threat match for the title. Gumbo asks why he should do that. Buzz says that if Rad agrees and wins the
match, neither he nor Starbuck will challenge for the World title while Rad is
still champion. Before Rad could answer,
Emmett Millbarge walks over and says he thinks it’s a great idea and says that
he will pencil that in for the Main Event at the Supershow. Emmett walks off and Buzz and Starbuck
eventually follow leaving Rad to say “What in the hell just happened?”
Our next match is
ready to go. First, Travis ‘Dark Storm’
Ryzing makes his way out to booing from the fans. Next, Buzz Steel comes out and the fans flip
out. They seem to love this lovable lunk. Buzz high fives the fans as he makes his way
down into the ring. Once in the ring,
Buzz points to the back and then motions that he will soon be champion again. For the first 5 minutes of the match, Buzz
held Travis to two offensive moves. He
then opened a major can of whoopass and dominated the rest of the match until
he finally decided he’d had enough and then dropped Travis with the
Buzzkill. Buzz goes for the pin and
secures the 3 count. Buzz gets the win
and the fans pop huge for him. He
celebrates with the fans briefly at ringside and then makes his way to the
back. (14 min)
Millbarge is
backstage and said he’s not happy so far with what he’s seen. He sees Angry
Jack backstage and tells him that he’d better not let him down. Jack walks over to him (towering over him)
and says “Yeah? And you’ll do what
exactly?” Emmett visibly gulped and then
took a step back. “Yeah, that’s what I
thought.” Jack then walked off. Emmett, shaken, made a beeline for his office.
We head back to
the ring for our next match. First,
Tobias Snake, one member of the Snake Pit, makes his way out first and he is
gets a mixed reaction from the crowd. Next,
Texas Wildfire makes his way out and the fans pop huge for him. TW rushes down
to the ring and slides into the ring under to bottom rope. It doesn’t take long for the two of them to
lock it up but Wildfire took the advantage early however the longer the match
dragged on, the more of a comeback Tobias was making. Wildfire went for a pin early on after
locking in a standing armbar getting a one count and that is when Tobias make
his run. TW managed to control most of
the match but Tobias kept on increasing the intensity. TW began peppering Tobias with rapid fire
punches and Tobias came back with a Lou Thesz press. Tobias got up and began psyching himself up
only to turn around into a bionic elbow from TW. Wildfire went for the pin hooking the leg and
got the 1-2-3. Texas Wildfire gets the
win and a huge pop from the crowd.
Tobias rolled out of the ring and made his way to the back. TW followed a few moments later. (17 min)
Sonic Blade is
backstage and is confronted by Emmett.
He tells Sonic that he’s the lucky recipient taking on Angry Jack
Lawson. He laughs and walks off. Sonic’s cell phone rings and he answers. It’s Phoenix GM Master Bull and we hear Bull
give Sonic some direction before ending the call just a few moments later. Sonic looks around and makes his way out to
the ring.
Sonic’s music hits
and he makes his way out to the ring.
The fans pop for him as he makes his way down to the ring. The music changes and out comes the angriest
member of the HCW roster – ‘Angry’ Jack Lawson.
Pyro goes off and flames shoot out of the ringposts startling
Sonic. Lawson makes his way down to the
ring and enters over the top rope. He
goes right on the offensive but Sonic stayed right there with him. Jack kept trying to turn up the intensity but
Sonic just kept going…and going…and going…right up to the 20 minute time
limit. When the bell rang bringing this
one to a draw finish, Sonic still looked quite fresh while Jack looked like he
spent everything in his tank. Jack tried
to raise his aggression level back up but felt it wasn’t worth the effort and
he left the ring. Sonic celebrated his
draw with the fans and then eventually left.
(20 min draw)
In preparation for
their upcoming match, Ivan Dragovich, Red McNulty and Wendell Hammerschmidt say
that they’ve been overlooked for some time in trying to get this title match
but tonight, they will persevere. Wendell
says it’s their time and tonight, those belts are leaving with them.
Also backstage
cutting their own promo are the Six Man Tag team Champs – Regulation. The Banker, Ruth Heartless and the Regulators
Mule and Mammoth say that they are ready to defend their belts. They will be up some rough and vicious
opponents however they are nothing compared to the champs. Ruth chimes in and says that teams can cry
and complain all they want but the #1 team in HCW will hold these belts until
they’re good and ready to let them go.
They then leave and head to the ring.
It’s time for our
Main Event. First, Ivan Dragovich, Red
McNulty and Wendell Hammerschmidt all make their way out to the ring and are
booed. Next, the champs Regulation come
out with their manager Ruth Heartless and they are booed even worse. The Banker sneers at the fans as they make
their way to the ring. They don’t get
much time in the way of showboating as the bell is rung pretty fast. Ivan
and his team took the advantage early when Wendell used a pair of handcuffs and
cuffed Ruth Heartless away from the ring so that she would be a
non-factor. Ivan, Red and Wendell began
to dominate the champs and it wasn’t until after the Banker made a hot tag to
Regulator Mammoth that things changed.
Wendell got tagged in but immediately got caught in a sleeperhold. The Banker and Regulator Mule then took out
Ivan and Red and with no one to make the save, Wendell tapped out. Regulation gets the win and retains their titles. The show comes to an end with the champs and
Ruth (who finally got freed) celebrated in the ring as the fans booed. (6 min)
Stay tuned. More action to follow.
