HCW Wrestling Newsletter 2018 #720 –House of Horrors PPV


Hello fans and welcome to our newsletter.  Tonight, we are proud to bring you HCW’s House of Horrors PPV live from Phoenix, AZ.  The sold out crowd has been waiting for hours to get in and everyone from the fans to the wrestlers are anxious to get this party started. 

Pyro goes off and AC/DC’s “Thunderstruck” begins to play through the speaker system.  Out comes our two general managers Master Bull (Phoenix) and Max McGillicutty (Tacoma).  They welcome the fans who attended live as well as those tuning in on PPV.   Max says that a lot of feuds are expected to end but who knows what will rise from those ashes.  Bull says that he is looking forward to being the referee in the match between Apollo Gyze and Tommy Lightning and promises to call it right down the middle.  Max says that tonight is the Duchess’ final match in HCW and wishes her the best as she moves on.  He also states that for one night only, the Stache returns.  The fans pop huge.  Davis has to put the mask back on in order to protect his face from further injury by Ivan Dragovich.  The fans boo at the mention of Ivan’s name.  Master Bull says that the two most hated men in HCW will also square off and it will be interesting to see who comes out on top between Dr. Red Fang and the Unknown Assassin.  Bull says that the Banker will be in a handicap match against his former team of the Regulators and it will be interesting to see how that plays out.  Max speaks about the tension between Vanilla Zombie and Violet Valkyrie and hopefully it comes to an end with one of them saying the words ‘I Quit’.  Max also points out that tonight Scooter J returns to the ring to team up with TNT to take on Nix Anderson and Hardcore Hensen.  ‘The Singapore Sensation’ Matt Preacher should hopefully be a non-factor with the 15’ high cage providing a barrier.  Bull finishes off with the bad blood between brothers Leiton and Niven Snake and how it will take a ‘First Blood’ rules match to bring this one to an end.  They thank the fans once again and leave.  More pyro goes off and our show is ready to go.

Our first match begins with Niven Snake coming out to a mixed reaction from the crowd.  There has been some serious bad blood between him and Leiton and it’s all come to a head here.  Next, Leiton makes his way out to a similar reaction from the crowd.  As soon as Leiton gets in the ring, the music plays again and Tobias Snake comes out.  He makes one last attempt to get the brothers to reconcile and raises his fist hoping for a fist bump but neither brother acknowledges.  He leaves the ring and goes to sit at ringside.  Leiton immediately begins with a diving somersault neckbreaker.  He goes for a Buckle Bomb but Niven nullifies it.  Leiton attempts a suicide dive to the floor but Niven reverses it attempting a drive by apron dropkick but that is also reversed and Leiton hits a pedigree facebuster.  He goes for the pin but Niven kicks out at 2.  Leiton is the first to draw blood but bludgeoning Niven with a chair.  The ref goes to call the match but Niven demands it continue.  He drops Leiton with a leaping clothesline.  Leiton hits a sling blade but Niven hits a deadlift powerbomb.  Niven follows it up with another leaping clothesline.  Leiton hits another pedigree facebuster and goes for the pin but only gets a one count as Niven gets his foot on the bottom rope.  Leiton hurls Niven into the corner and Niven hits a deadlift powerbomb.  Leiton hurls Niven into the corner and Niven send him to the outside with a drive by dropkick.  Niven goes to the outside and pushes Tobias off his steel chair and slides it into the ring.  Leiton is back in and Niven attempts a deadlift powerbomb but Leiton shrugs it off and hits a pedigree facebuster right on the chair.  Leiton goes for the pin and gets the 1-2-3.  Leiton Snake gets the win.  He tries for a fist bump with Tobias but Tobias shakes his head ‘no’ and walks away.  Leiton gets a small pop from the crowd and leave as Niven is tended to and helped to the back.  (10 min)

The Wicked Prophet is backstage with the Duchess and she says that even though she had a good run in HCW, she will do better where she is more appreciated (alluding to her jumping to Cushman Armitage’s new federation).  She says that the quality of the women’s roster drops significantly after tonight and leaves.

Our next match is ready to go (after the blood was cleaned up, of course).  The Regulators make their way out to a small pop from the crowd and immediately begin gathering tables, ladders and chairs to use for their match.  The Banker comes out next with Ruth Heartless and he makes his way down to the ring.  He is dressed in riot gear.   The Banker enters the ring drawing the attention of his former teammates.  While that was going on, Ruth took down the ladder and hid most of the chairs under the ring so that they would not get used.  Mammoth begins by trying to ram the Banker into the turnbuckle but he nullifies it.  Mule comes in and hits a Regulator smash.  He tags Mammoth back in. Mammoth rams the Banker into the turnbuckle.  The Banker connects with the foreclosure frankensteiner and Mammoth tags out.  Mule takes the Banker to the outside and powerbombs him through the table.  He then rolls him back into the ring and starts to look for the chairs and ladders which seem to have disappeared.  He slides back in only for the Banker to hit the Repossession rib buster.  He is slow to make the cover and only gets a 1 count.  Mule drops the Banker with a DDT and goes for a pin but the Banker kicks out.  Mule hits an inverted suplex but the Banker locks in the ATM fee armbar.  Mule makes it to the ropes and tags in Mammoth.  Mammoth comes charging in only to get locked up with the ATM fee armbar.  He tries but he can’t make it to the ropes so he has no choice but to tap out.  The Banker gets the win via submission and he immediately leaves so that the Regulators can’t attack him further.  He points to his head showing he outsmarted them.  Ruth helps him to the back.  (8 min)

The Wicked Prophet is with Scarlett Phoenix.  Scarlett says that the Duchess will finally get the attention she wants and says that no one will miss her once she’s gone.  Scarlett says that the Duchess was mistaken in her comment earlier and that the Ladies division will actually improve once she’s gone.

We head back to the ring for our next match.  First, the Duchess makes her way out to booing from the fans.  Scarlett makes her out as soon as the Duchess entered the ring not allowing her any time for her pomp and circumstance.  Jawjacking ensues and the bell rings starting this one off.

Scarlett Phoenix gets the win and the fans pop huge for her.  The Duchess rolls out of the ring and heads to the back.  The fans begin a “na na na na…na na na na…hey, hey hey, goodbye” chant and the Duchess scowls at the ‘ungrateful’ fans and heads to the back for the final time.

The Wicked Prophet is backstage first with Apollo Gyze. 

WP:  Apollo, tonight, your future with Phoenix Heat is on the line.  Now, GM Master Bull has said that all it will take for that stipulation to go away is for you to apologize to the HCW roster and fans.

AG:  Apollo Gyze don’t apologize.  Master Bull wants to stack the cards against me?  I’ll prove him wrong.  The fans don’t believe I can win.  I will prove them wrong.  And THEN, you’ll all be apologizing to me.

Apollo walks off.

WP:  Well, that was short and succinct.  Back to you at ringside.

We’re back for our next match.  This one will have ramifications where the loser must leave Phoenix.  First, we hear blaring over the loudspeakers “Apollo Gyze don’t apologize” and out comes Apollo.  The fans boo him as he makes his way down to the ring.  Next, Master Bull comes out dressed up as a referee. The fans pop as he heads down to the ring.   Apollo is pacing and Bull tells him to just stand in his corner.  The music changes again and out comes Tommy Lightning.  The fans pop as Tommy comes out and high fives the fans as he makes his way to the ring.  Tommy starts off with an elbow smash and Apollo hit an enzuiguri.  Tommy hits an underhook suplex and Apollo hits a delayed vertical suplex.  Apollo grabs a chair and whacks Tommy with it sending him out of the ring.  Apollo sets the chair up and sits down telling Master Bull to make the count.  Bull, as slowly as he could, counts to 10 but Tommy didn’t get back in.  Apollo stands up declaring himself the winner.  Master Bull said that this has been changed and is now an anything goes match.  Apollo was furious.  Master Bull restarts the match once he determined that Tommy was ok to go.  The two then fought tooth and nail for a solid 15 minutes until Apollo rammed Tommy into the steel post knocking him out.  Apollo told Master Bull to count him down and he once again counted to 10 and Tommy didn’t make it to his feet.  Apollo jumps up again and says that he’s the winner but Master Bull, getting really frustrated now, tells Apollo that he doesn’t seem to care about who he injures or whatever.  Apollo tells Bull to declare him the winner.  Master Bull refuses.  Bull says he’s giving Tommy one final chance making this a “winner takes all” stipulation.  Tommy was really in no shape to continue and Master Bull, if he really cared about Tommy’s welfare, would have stopped this.  It was no contest.  Apollo just dominated Tommy and after putting him through a table at ringside, he would bodyslam him on the exposed concrete floor before rolling him back in.  Apollo was all smug.  He threw Tommy into the ropes and hit a perfectly executed dropkick.  He went for the cover and Master Bull was forced to make a 3 count.    Apollo then got up and purposefully bumped Master Bull.  Bull said that he’s had it.  Apollo either apologizes right here and now or he’s gone from Phoenix.  Apollo refused so Master Bull said that he was no longer on the Phoenix roster and he can pack his bags and leave at any time.  Apollo heads to the back to the booing from the fans.  The match ends up being a loss for Apollo in the record books as there was no way in hell that Bull was awarding him the win.  (total match time 38 minutes)

We are half the way through our PPV and the action continues.  We had backstage for an interview.

WP:  The Wicked Prophet here and true to my word, I call it like I see it.  With me next is the man with two identities…Welcome Davis or should I call you the Stache?

Stache:  For tonight and one night only, the Stache is back.  Ivan did his best to mess with my face and the only real way to make sure the protective gear stays on is with the old mask.

WP:  Then why risk it?  Medical hasn’t given you clearance so all of this is on you if it goes south.

Stache: You’re right.  But after weeks of abuse, the time is now for me to strike.  Ivan will rue the day he jumped on this bronco.  Ivan, your time is up.

We head back to the ring.  The stage begins to fill with smoke and like a rocket, Violet Valkyrie comes shooting out on a zip line and ends up above the ring.  She then repels down to the ring and the fans pop huge for her.  She climbs all four corner posts and the fans pop louder each time.  Her pop is interrupted when Vanilla Zombie comes out.  The fans boo her but she doesn’t care.  She heads down to the ring and enters it.  She walks up to Violet and cocks her head looking at her.  Violet then begins to unload on her.

Violet gets the win and the fans are ecstatic.  The pop is so huge and she embraces it.  She doesn’t see Vanilla come up from behind and blast her with a steel chair.  She then drags Violet to the outside of the ring.  She stands on the outside of the ring and pulls Violet up with her.  She picks Violet up and leaps planting Violet with the Soul Crusher right through the announce table.  The table collapses under the impact.  Vanilla gets up and begins to cackle.  Medics come out to check on Violet.  She is loaded up on a stretcher and taken to the back.  Vanilla laughs and heads to the back.

The Wicked Prophet is backstage with the Unknown Assassin and his manager the ‘Honorable’ JC Dykes.  Dykes grabs the mic from Prophet and begins to insult the fans for being the sheep of HCW.  He then goes on comparing manager Ant Graham to something out of the book of the dead.  He then says that Dr. Red Fang is the most boring, uninteresting bot to ever lace up a pair of boots.  Dykes says that the Unknown Assassin will embarrass the Doctor and will send him scurrying away like a whimpering wombat.  Dykes and UA walk off.

We head back to the ring for our next match.  First, Ivan Dragovich comes out wearing his Russian chain.  He yells at the fans who are mocking him.  He gets into the ring and begins swinging the chain around the ring.  The theme from Bonanza plays and out comes the Stache.   The fans pop is so loud we can’t even hear ourselves think.  The Stache stays on the stage for a moment soaking in the adulation from the fans.  He makes his way down to the ring and the fans cheer.  We haven’t seen the Stache in almost a year and a half.  The fans remember him as if it was yesterday.  He enters the ring and climbs the turnbuckle to an even louder pop from the crowd.  The Stache cuts his pop short and goes face to face with Ivan.  Ivan yells at him “I’m going to break you” and the Stache just smiles.  Both men get the Russian chain attached and Ivan immediately attacks him.

The Stache wins with a THE TOMBSTONE (PILEDRIVER) over Ivan Dragovich!!!

Davis gets the win and the fans pop HUGE for him.  The ref first unhooks the Stache from the chain but he holds onto it.  The Stache then wraps the chain around his fist and the fans know what is coming next and they cheer.  The Stache grabs Ivan and smacks him with the fist shots and the fans count with each blast.  Stache drops the bloody chain and then removes his mask revealing Davis ‘the Hoff’ Hoffmeister.  Davis removes his facial protection and drops it on the floor.  He goes to a kid at ringside and gives him the Stache mask once more putting that personae to rest.  Davis walks up the ramp as the fans cheer him on.  He then disappears behind the curtain.

The Wicked Prophet is once again backstage with Scooter J and TNT.  WP walks with them as Scooter J and TNT prepare for their match.  Scooter J says he’s trained and is ready for this match.  He’s back to being healthy and will give Hensen and Anderson a pain they’ve never faced before.  TNT says that Hensen and Nix will rue the day they pissed Scooter J off.  TNT and SJ left.  The Wicked Prophet ends up walking by a pissed off (and hungry it seems) Apollo Gyze.  The Wicked Prophet walks over to him.

WP:  Well Apollo, looks like you’re getting a change of scenery.  (the Prophet reaches for a some food)

AG:  NO CHEESY BREADY FOR YOU.   

Apollo takes the ENTIRE box of cheesy bread and walks off.

We go back to the ring for our next match.  The music hits and out comes manager JC Dykes and the Unknown Assassin.  The duo are booed as they head to the ring.  They’re not there for very long before we hear the all-annoying “VAMPIRE LUNGES FOR EVERYONE” blast over the speaker system and out comes manager Ant Graham and Dr. Red Fang.  The boos for the evil vampire bot are on par to what the Unknown Assassin got so we’re not sure who is hated more.  Fang gets into the ring but before the match can begin, Ant Graham and JC Dykes are ejected from ringside and sent to the back.  This one is between the two (ok, maybe one man and one vampire bot).  The ref hooks up the dog collars to both men and then calls for the bell to start this one off.

The Wicked Prophet is backstage with Nix Anderson and Hardcore Hensen. 

WP:  Nix Anderson and Hardcore Hensen, you may have bit off more than you can chew in taking on Scooter J and TNT. 

HH:  How about you shut your trap and just hold the mic.

NA:  If you really think we’re sweating those two nobodies, you are sadly mistaken. I am the TV champ and my good friend here Hardcore Hensen is the Hardcore Champion.  We have nothing to worry about.  These two crybabies got what they wanted…us in a steel cage.

HH:  Nowhere to run; nowhere to hide.  Tonight is all about us beating the living hell out of you two and then tucking your tails between your legs.  You wanted pain; you got it.

Hensen and Anderson walk off.  The Wicket Prophet says “Pain goes both ways there guys.”

It’s time for our main event.  The cage is finally assembled and music hits bringing out ‘the Singapore Sensation’ Matt Preacher as he leads out Nix Anderson, Hardcore Hensen AND the International Champion of France Jacques Beannot.  This may not look good with the extra muscle on the outside of the ring.  Nix and Hensen enter the cage.  The music changes and out comes Scooter J.  The fans pop for him as he stands on the stage.  He then points to the back and out comes TNT.  The fans pop again.  The duo shake hands and run down to the ring.  Hensen holds the door closed preventing their opponents from entering the ring but SJ and TNT scale the cage instead.  SJ threatens to leap from the top of the cage but then climbs down instead.  The ref then sends Preacher and Jacques to the back.

HCW Wrestling Newsletter 2018 #719 – Tacoma Thunder


Hello fans and welcome back to the next installment of the HCW Wrestling Newsletter.  Today’s show comes to you from Tacoma, WA in our final stop before Wednesday’s House of Horrors PPV in Phoenix, AZ.  Today, we will actually have 3 Elimination Chamber qualifying matches with one being from visiting Heat members.   We will also have two title matches that will see the Hardcore and Tag Team titles defended tonight.  So without further ado, let’s get the action started.

Pyro goes off and our first Elimination Chamber qualifying match is ready to go.  First, TV Champion Nix Anderson comes out accompanied by his manager ‘The Singapore Sensation’ Matt Preacher.  They are booed as they head down to the ring.  Anderson is quick to grab a mic and say that his title is NOT on the line.  Next, the music changes and out comes Protocide.  He gets a pop as he heads down to the ring.  He gets in and right into Nix’s face.  The champ actually took a step back from the muscle bound masked man.  The bell rings and Nix immediately distracts the ref allowing Preacher to bludgeon Protocide with a foreign object.   Nix goes for the quick pin but Protocide kicks out.  Protocide connects with an elbow smash but Nix drags his opponents face across the ring ropes.  After a couple of minutes, Preacher gets involved again.  Protocide was going for an elbow smash but Nix reversed it and hurled him into the ropes where Preacher threw a powder in his face.  Blinded, he fell back into the ring.  Nix went for the pin again but still only got a 2 count.  Nix continued to dominate the match until Protocide locked him up for a test of strength but a low blow kick from Nix broke the hold and Nix blasted Protocide with a smash from his ukulele.  He went for the pin and this time, grabbed a handful of tights and got the 1-2-3.  Nix Anderson gets the win and Protocide will be going into the chamber.  (9 min)

Phoenix GM Master Bull walks in and greets the Tacoma roster.  He then heads into GM Max McGillicutty’s office.

We head to the ring for our next Elimination Chamber qualifier.  First, Sarona Reiher comes out to a mixed reaction from the crowd.   Their tune changes when smoke fills the stage and like a rocket, out comes Violet Valkyrie.  The fans pop as Violet rushes down to the ring and slides under the bottom rope.  As she climbs the turnbuckle, the fans pop.  The match started pretty quick and Violet held the advantage until she got tossed over the top rope and landed hard on the outside.  Sarona went after her throwing her into the ringside barrier and steps before taking her back into the ring. Sarona dominated for only a few minutes before Violet got a second wind and began to take the fight back to her opponent.  Violet began going on a serious offensive run but then she was distracted when Vanilla Zombie came through the crowd.  Distracted, she didn’t see Sarona come up from behind and then plant her into the mat with a huge powerbomb.  Sarona went for the pin and got the 3 count.  The fans are shocked as it will be Violet heading into the chamber.  Sarona leaves and Violet gets to her feet shaking the cobwebs out of her head. Vanilla then attacks her locking her up on a very painful submission move.  Violet is tapping out but this isn’t a match.  Vanilla’s manager Matt Preacher joins her in the ring and gets her to relent.  Preacher says that in 3 days, Violet will be tapping out once again to the superior athlete that is Vanilla Zombie.  The fans boo and they leave.  Violet is helped to the back.  (15 min)

Backstage, ‘Big Money’ Ned Rhyerson III runs into Drew the Canadian Love Machine.  Ned laughs at the memory of him beating Drew in such quick fashion.  Drew tells Ned to put his money where his mouth is and challenges him to a match tonight.  Ned says that if Drew wants to get beat again, he’d be happy to oblige.   Ned walks away.

Our third Elimination Chamber qualifier match is up and features two ladies from the Phoenix Heat roster.  First, out comes Leslie Grimes who gets a decent pop from the crowd.   Next, her opponent Taylor Bella comes out to booing from the fans.  Taylor has a mic in hand and blasts Tacoma calling it a cesspool.  This got the fans even more riled up.  Taylor finished with “Well, if you get all wound up after a little insult, how mad are you going to be when I win tonight?”  The fans booed even louder.  Taylor controlled the match for the most part for the first 12 minutes of the match but then Leslie fought back and began to own the former Diva’s Champion.  In fact, Leslie began pounding the hell out of Taylor much to the delight of the fans.  After the 20th minute, Leslie owned Taylor going for pin attempt after pin attempt but the former champ kept kicking out or making it to the ropes.  As the match progressed and the time limit was nearing, Leslie hit a Lou Thesz press (2 count) followed by an Australian uppercut (1 count).  Taylor then tried for a sitout facebuster but Leslie fought out of it and planted Taylor in the middle of the ring with a DDT.  She went for a pin and this time was able to get the 3 count.  Welp, it looks like Taylor is going to the Chamber.  Once she recovered, she didn’t seem too happy and the fans mocked her as she made her way to the back.  (27 min)

Back in Max’s office, Bull and Max are sitting with the Wicked Prophet.  The GM’s state that they’re not happy the Prophet is taking on matchmaking duties but since King Rad Gumbo gave him the option to pick the World Champs next opponent, they said they would allow it.  They ask WP who he wants as Gumbo’s next opponent and after some brief contemplation, he chooses ‘The King of Cones’ Magnum Kone.  Max and Bull seem impressed and says that match will happen.

We head back to the ring for our next match.  First, out comes ‘Big Money’ Ned Rhyerson III and the fans boo the holy hell out of him.  He flips them off and gets into the ring.  Next, Drew the Canadian Love Machine comes out and the place goes absolutely bonkers.  Ned doesn’t seem to care for it so just as Drew was getting into the ring, Ned attacked him taking the fight to the outside.  He threw Drew into the steel steps and then removed the ringside padding and bodyslammed Drew on the exposed concrete before rolling him back in.  The bell rings and Drew is at a serious disadvantage.  Ned dominated for 12 minutes but then Drew got his second win and just like the champ we know him to be, began to utterly destroy Ned.   At the 16 minute mark, Drew hit the Lover Bomb and almost got the 3 count but Ned got his foot on the ropes to stop the count in the nick of time.  Drew connected with a superkick but Ned hit an elbow smash.  Drew connects with a powerbomb for another near fall but Ned kicked out.  Ned stumbled to his feet and then Drew began laying into him with a series of slaps.  The fans counted up to 10 of the cringe-worthy sickening sounds and Ned fell to the mat.  Drew made the cover and got no resistance as the 3 count is made.  Drew gets the win and the fans pop even louder than before.  Drew celebrates with the fans as Ned makes his way to the back.  (19 min)

Backstage, the Wicked Prophet is with the man challenging for the Hardcore title Ivan Dragovich.  Ivan gets all mad at WP wondering why he wasn’t chosen to face King Rad Gumbo for the World Title.  The Wicked Prophet said that Ivan has is hands full with not only a match for the Hardcore title but with an upcoming match against ‘the Hoff’ Davis Hoffmeister.  Ivan says he excels at multitasking and will defeat Hensen tonight for his belt and then put Davis back in the hospital so bad he’ll never want to return.

Also backstage, Elitism (‘The Elitist’ Reid Rothchild and ‘Rowdy’ Roderick Rothchild) confront the Axe and Superstar Chic Monroe.  They say that they are supposed to be next in line for a title match but Axe tells him “Too bad, you snooze, you lose”.  Axe then decks Reid and an all-out melee ensues.  GMs Max McGillicutty and Master Bull come over and demand to know what is going on.  It is disclosed that the Axe threw the first punch even though Reid was taunting him.  Bull then says that Axe just cost his team their title shot tonight.  Axe tried to complain but Bull tells him he’s fortunate that he doesn’t lose their shot altogether.  Axe leaves and Chic follows.

Well, it seems our tag team title match has changed.  The Ambassador comes out first and leads Reid and Roderick down to the ring. The fans boo as they showboat in the ring.  The music changes and out comes the World Tag Team Champions the Mexicali Flyers (El Dragon Insano & Tornado en Fuego).  The fans pop as the champs shake hands with the fans as they make their way to the ring.  The bell rings pretty quick and Elitism takes the fight to the champs right off the bat.  With the Ambassador’s help, for the first 7 minutes, the challengers dominated but then Tornado en Fuego took the sneaky manager out of the equation and then the champs began a comeback.  Backed by the fans, it was like they could go all the way.  12 minutes in, an exhausted Tornado en Fuego tagged El Dragon in.  While Reid distracted the ref, Roderick ran over and knocked Tornado from the ring.  He then handcuffed him to the ringside barrier.  He then picked up a chair and smashed it into El Dragon’s leg.  Reid immediately capitalized and locked in the Figure Four Reid Lock.  El Dragon tried to make it to the ropes but Roderick would pull them both back into the center of the ring.  With no one to help and after a minute of being locked in the painful hold, El Dragon had no choice but to tap out.  Elitism gets the win and becomes the NEW WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS!  (14 min) 

Their celebration is short lived however when GM Master Bull comes out and lets Elitism know that before they get to go home, they will have to defend the titles here tonight against these men.  The Axe and Superstar Chic Monroe rush out and the bell rings just as they entered the ring.  The new champs were pretty worn out from their previous match and that allowed the new challengers to take control of the match.  It seemed like the titles could have changed hands again but a last minute intervention from the Ambassador (wielding a chair) hit the Axe with it causing him to stumble.  Roderick grabbed him and nailed an airplane spin.  After dropping him, Roderick went for the pin and put his feet on the second rope for leverage.  The ref didn’t catch it and counted 1-2-3.  Elitism not only win the match but are successful in their first title defense.  The champs and their manager leave before any ‘instant replay’ would put their win in jeopardy.   (12 min)  The Axe and Chic left disappointed.

Backstage, the Wicked Prophet is with the Hardcore Champion Hardcore Hensen.

WP:  I’m here with the Hardcore Hensen.   How’s it going champ?

HH:  How’s it going?  What are you, a teeny bopper?  Do you see this title I’m carrying?  I am the HARDCORE Champion.  This means I am the toughest person in this sport.  I’m the meanest guy you’d never want to meet in a dark alley.

WP:  Tonight, you defend your title against Ivan Dragovich, a tough competitor in his own right.

HH:  He’s not tough, he’s soft and I’ll prove it.  You can’t be all that good when you lose to an ex-cowboy (referring to Davis Hoffmeister).

WP:  And after this, not only do you have a future match with Protocide, at the PPV in 3 short days, you take on Scooter J and TNT alongside your tag team partner the TV champion Nix Anderson.

HH:  More crap we have to deal with.  First this Russkie thinks he deserves a shot at my title; some masked moron paid for plastic surgery to look like someone from my past and finally we have to deal with Scooby Doo and Scrappy. 

WP:  You mean Scooter J and TNT.

HH:  I meant what I said.  Scooby Doo, you should have just stayed in the hospital and called it quits.  Now you get to deal with the fallout that Nix and I will inflict on you.  If you think you’re last stay in the hospital was bad, you ain’t seen nothing yet.

Hardcore Hensen walks away.  The Wicked Prophet turns to the camera “Back to you at ringside”.

It’s time for our main event.  First, Ivan Dragovich comes out and the fans boo him.  He’s just not a very likable person.  Next, the Hardcore Champion Hardcore Hensen comes out with his manager ‘the Singapore Sensation’ Matt Preacher but Preacher remains on the stage as he is not allowed at ringside for this match.  The match, a street fight, should have favored the champion but Ivan was all over him.  The two traded control of the entire match that went a full 30 minutes.  Towards the end, Ivan began to own the champ and Hensen struggled.  He then called for help and Nix Anderson came out.  Since this is a no DQ match, Nix tried to interfere but the ref stopped him and sent him from the ring.  While that was going on, we see someone come in from the crowd.  It’s Davis Hoffmeister.  Ivan gets distracted and Hensen uses the fatal flaw and hits Ivan with a powerslam.  He hooks the leg getting the 1-2-3.  Hardcore Hensen gets the win and retains his title.  He tries to showboat but his celebration is cut short when TNT and Scooter J hit the ring and they fight all the way to the back. 

Back in the ring, Ivan begins to recover and sees Davis slide into the ring.  Ivan stands up but Davis has a chair so Ivan doesn’t approach.  Davis has a mic and says that Ivan finally bit off more than he can chew.  Davis says that their match at the PPV has to be unsanctioned because he still has yet to be cleared for action.  Davis goes on to say that since Ivan loves trying to mess with his face and remove his protective gear, he has to dig deep into his bag of tricks to ensure nothing happens.  Davis pulls something out of a bag.  “In order to keep this protective gear in place, it has to be secure.  For one night only, (he holds a mask up for all to see) the STACHE returns!”  The fans pop is so loud it is deafening.  Ivan looks worried and ends up leaving.  Davis places the mask on and the fans go nuts as the show comes to an end.

Our PPV is up next.  Stay tuned.

HCW Wrestling Newsletter 2018 #718 – Phoenix Heat


Hello fans and welcome to the next installment of HCW’s Phoenix Heat show.  Our PPV House of Horrors is one week away and is shaping up to be a pretty crazy one with every match on the card having specialty rules. 

Today’s show kicks off backstage in GM Master Bull’s office.  He’s busy writing when the Regulators (Mule and Mammoth) enter and ask to speak with him.  Mule says that they were one move away from being next in line for the tag team titles if it weren’t for the Banker’s outside interference costing them the match.  They ask for a match with the Banker at the PPV.  Master Bull thinks about it for a moment and then agrees but says that since the Banker has taken many liberties in breaking the rules, he says it will be a 2 on one handicap match.  The Regulators smile and thank Master Bull and then leave.

We head to the ring for our first match of the night.  Pyro goes off and things are about to get started.  We kick off the show with an Elimination Chamber Qualifying match.  First, music hits and out comes Starbuck Steel accompanied by his brother Buzz.  The pop they get is deafening.  Both men head down to the ring but Buzz goes to sit at commentary and Starbuck enters the ring.  Next, the music changes and out comes ‘The Elitist’ Reid Rothchild accompanied by his manager the Ambassador.  The duo are booed as they head down to the ring.  Reid enters immediately and begins to jawjack with Starbuck.  The ref separates the two and then calls for the bell to be rung.  Right off the bat, the Ambassador tries to interfere, gets caught and then is ejected from ringside.  He heads to the back grumbling (and probably swearing too).  The distraction was enough for Starbuck to capitalize on.  4 minutes in, Reid hits the Reid Bottom (Rock Bottom) but then goes to jawjack with the fans.  Starbuck recovers and heads to the top corner turnbuckle.  Just as Reid turns around, Starbuck launches connecting with a Shooting Star Buck.  Reid is down.  Starbuck goes to the corner a second time and executes a second Shooting Star Buck.  Starbuck hits a hangman’s DDT and goes for the pin but Reid kicks out.  Starbuck then takes Reid to each corner and bounces his head off each turnbuckle.  Reid falls backwards into the ring.  Starbuck makes the cover and gets the 1-2-3.  Starbuck Steel gets the win and it looks like Reid will be heading to the Elimination Chamber.  (7 min).  Starbuck and Buzz leave to a pop from the crowd.  Reid recovers and heads to the back also.

The Wicked Prophet is backstage with the new 6 Man Tag Team Champions the 5th Column.  Baron von Blood, Oswald Zimmerman and Karl Braun are basking in the glow of being the champs.  WP asks them if they are ready to defend the belts and Karl interjected “Whoa there hoss.  We just won the belts and you think we’re going to turn around and defend them?  WRONG.  We have 30 days (Oswald corrects him saying ‘once a month’) to defend the belts and they are going to maximize the amount of time that they can sit back and watch the world go by.”  WP says that they are coward champions then and Baron almost decks him.  “Watch your tongue boy.  You are talking to the 6 Man champs and if you really think you have something to say, step in the ring and we’ll shut you down like an abandoned carnival.”  The champs walk off with Prophet glaring at them.

We head back to the ring for our next match which also happens to be an Elimination Chamber qualifier but this one will be tag team based.  The losing team will go to the Chamber.  First, the Ryzing Storm (Travis and Terra Ryzing) come out and are booed.  Travis does his best to ignore them but Terra gives about as good as he gets.  Eventually they get in the ring.  Next, the Machines (B and P Machines) come out to a pop from the crowd.  The fact that the masked men get such a great reaction further irritates Terra and he begins pacing in the ring.  Terra attacks them but the Machines immediately double team him and from there, they own the entire match.  In fact, it was a bit embarrassing on the Ryzing Storm as they didn’t put up much of a fight.  What was surprising though was that this match went the distance.   The Storm had the presence of mind to make the save from any pin or submission attempt.  As we got into the final two minutes of the match,   Terra hit the Terror Rising and went for a pin only to have B-Machine kick out at 2.  He then tagged out to Travis who came in locked B-Machine up with a Power Full Nelson and in his weakened state, he ended up tapping out.  The Ryzing Storm comes from behind to take the win in the final seconds of the match.  The Machines will be going on to the Chamber.  (29:56)

Apollo Gyze is backstage and he sees ‘Top Gun’ Justin Winger.  He begins to mock him for losing his chamber qualifying match but Winger got fed up pretty quick.  He then challenged Apollo to a match and said that Apollo should agree to make this another qualifying match but Apollo said that he wasn’t stupid and would not agree to such a ludicrous request.  Winger said fine and challenged him to a normal match instead.  Apollo accepted.  That match is up next.

We go to the ring just at ‘Top Gun’ Justin Winger is making his way out.  The fans pop for him as he makes his way to the ring.  Next, we hear “Apollo Gyze don’t apologize” over the loudspeakers and out comes the most irritating man in all of sports entertainment.  The fans boo him but he doesn’t seem to care.  Apollo barely has time to get his jacket off before Winger goes on the offensive.  The two do battle but Apollo must have gotten under Winger’s skin as Top Gun’s game was a bit off.  Apollo used that to his advantage and ended up taking the match to the time limit.  The match is called a draw and Apollo breathes a sigh of relief and Winger heads to the back.  Apollo took the mic and said that he is officially accepting the twerp Tommy Lightning’s challenge to a match at the PPV where the loser leaves Phoenix.  Apollo says he just bought a house so he ain’t going anywhere.  He leaves to a chorus of booing from the fans.  (30 min draw)

Our next match is ready to go.  First, Leiton Snake comes out to a mixed reaction from the crowd.  He makes his way down to the ring and does his shtick.   Next, the music changes and the crowd goes sour as manager JC Dykes comes out and is followed by the Unknown Assassin.  The duo make their way down to the ring amid a barrage of verbal insults and some miscellaneous garbage thrown their way.  The Assassin gets in the ring and the booing intensifies.  I think it’s safe to say he is not liked by the crowd here.  The match begins.  UA starts off with going for a nerve pinch but Leiton reverses it and attempts a diving somersault neckbreaker but UA nullifies it.  UA gets the nerve pinch on but Leiton hits a sling blade twice.  Dykes then blows on his whistle hoping to distract Leiton but that gets nullified and Leiton hits a pedigree facebuster.  UA hits some karate chops and Leiton hits a running single leg dropkick.  Dykes provides a distraction and this time he got Leiton’s attention which allowed UA to connect with some English forearm strikes.  He goes for the pin and gets a handful of tights to secure the 3 count.  The Unknown Assassin gets the win.  The fans and Leiton tried to complain but it did no good so he left.  Just as UA was going to leave, the lights go out briefly and when they come back on, Dr. Red Fang is standing right behind him and hits a Vampire Lunge.  The fans boo even louder.  Fang screams “VAMPIRE LUNGES FOR EVERYONE” before leaving.  (6 min)

The Wicked Prophet is backstage with Tommy Lightning.  Tommy says he’s glad that Apollo grew a pair to face him again in the ring with a potential move out of the territory on the line.  Tommy says he’s taken about all he can handle of “Apollo Gyze don’t apologize” and says Phoenix will be a much better place with Apollo gone.

The next match is ready to begin.  Tommy Lightning comes out first to a pop from the crowd.  Once in the ring, the music changes and out comes Angry Jack Lawson.  Lawson tries to intimidate Tommy by raising his arms and dropping them.  Flames shot out of the corner posts but not in such a dramatic fashion as he’d had hoped.  In fact, the flames sort of sputtered and the fans laughed which made Jack even angrier.  He rushes down to the ring and immediately attacks Tommy.  Jack held the offense for about 10 minutes but then Tommy began to battle back and took the match to Lawson.  Tommy had things pretty much locked up by the end of the match.  Jack had other plans and hit a clothesline from the top rope but Tommy rolled through it and went for a sunset flip.  As he was trying to get Jack down (who was holding the top rope to prevent that), the bell rang bringing this one to a draw finish.  Jack, frustrated, left.  Tommy began to celebrate with the fans but then his celebration is cut short when Apollo Gyze hits the ring taking Tommy out with a steel chair.   Apollo stands their laughing but he stops with the music changes and out comes GM Master Bull.  Bull gets on the mic and tells Apollo he’s had it with this garbage and says that he is making a change to the Apollo/Tommy match and that it will have a special guest referee…HIM.  The fans pop huge and Apollo starts to throw a tantrum in the ring.  Bull smiles and leaves.  Apollo follows soon thereafter. 

We head to the back where the Wicked Prophet is standing with the Ladies champion Ravishing Raquel and her manager the Ambassador.

WP:  I’m the Wicked Prophet and I call it like it is.  I’m here with the Ladies champion Ravishing Raquel.  Raquel, tonight you defend your title against Lady Hermann.  What are your thoughts on your challenger?

RR:  Prophet, there aren’t many women in this sport who operate at my level but Lady Hermann is pretty damn close.  But here is the thing…close only counts with horseshoes and hand grenades.   I’ve said it once before and I will say it again, I am the best, better than the rest.

WP:  Well, you are the Ladies Champion and a dominant one at that.  With your manager in your corner, you seem unstoppable.

Ambassador:  It doesn’t matter if I’m in her corner or not, she is the greatest ladies wrestler to ever put on a pair of boots.  That title stays where it is until she decides she wants to throw a bone to someone else.

WP:  Strong words.  Now, you’ll need to back them up.

RR:  Watch and be amazed.

Ravishing Raquel and her manager then leave heading to the ring.

It’s time for our main event.  First, the challenger Lady Hermann comes out to a small pop from the crowd.  Next, the music changes and out comes the Ambassador as he leads the Ladies Champion Ravishing Raquel down to the ring.  She seems to have a following although most fans still boo her.  She gets in the ring and walks by Lady Hermann.  She climbs each turnbuckle holding her title high each time.  Once she accomplished that, she handed the title to the ref, did some stretching and nodded to her manager.  Needless to say, Lady Hermann DOMINATED the champion.  We have never seen Raquel thrown around like a rag doll before.   Raquel didn’t get one offensive move in until 7 minutes into the match when she hit the Simply Ravishing out of nowhere.  She didn’t have the presence of mind though to go for a pin.  Raquel goes for the Ravishing Chickenwing and Lady Hermann hits a spear.  Both ladies go down and are slow to get up but eventually make it to their feet before the ref counted to 10.  Lady Hermann hits the Natural Selection Cutter and stands over Raquel.   She takes her eyes off Raquel for only a split second but that was all the champ needed to jump up and lock in the Ravishing Chickenwing.  She takes Lady Hermann to the mat and grounds her.  Lady Hermann struggled and tried to claw her way to the ropes with no avail.  She finally relented and tapped out.  Ravishing Raquel gets the win after taking a beating (24 to 57) in 10 minutes.  She knows she had the toughest challenge in some time.  She holds her title high as the show comes to an end.

Thanks for reading.  The PPV is almost here so stay tuned.
