HCW Wrestling Newsletter 2019 #767 – Critical Mass PPV Day 2 (4/20) – Seattle, WA


Hello fans and welcome to another installment of HCW’s wrestling newsletter.  Tonight, Critical Mass is in day 2 of our huge Pay Per View.  In a recap of yesterday’s event:

The 5th Column defeated the Snake Pit

Maximillian Redbeard and Superquake Ferguson defeated Shawn ‘Abs of Stone’ Austin and Perfect Pecs Stoddard in a falls count anywhere match

Nix Anderson defeated the Axe

Apollo Gyze retained the Hardcore title against the Wicked Prophet

Drew the Canadian Love Machine defeated Davis Hoffmeister to become the NEW TV champion

Violet Valkyrie defeated Ruby Rose to become the NEW Ladies Champion.

When asked what their plan was after winning the titles, Drew the Canadian Love Machine said he was trading in his old ‘love machine’ and buying a Tesla 3.  Violet Valkyrie was not so extravagant as she opted for a trip to Disneyworld.

It will be interesting to see what unfolds in today’s show.  Kicking things off will be an all-men battle royal to see who will go on to meet Anthony ‘Static’ Boom tomorrow for the US title.  Also on the show today:


Texas Wildfire vs Matches Malone

Hayley Hailstone & Tempest Fortune vs Vanilla Zombie & Maxine DeVito

6 Man tag team title match:  Steel Curtain & Biceps Bannerman vs the Smashers & Tommy Lightning

Main Event:  World Tag Team Title match:  Scooter J & TNT vs Angry Jack Lawson & Mean Jack Mason


Pyro goes off and our show begins with the battle royal.  Only those wrestlers on tonight’s show and the champions from last night are not on the card.  As the wrestlers begin to file out to the ring, the camera goes backstage and we see Hardcore Champion Apollo Gyze driving a forklift.  He gets yelled at for not being authorized for driving it and is told to shut it off.  He inches forward just a bit more before turning off the machine and then walks off.  The camera zooms in and we see he parked it in front of a door.  The name on the door…The Wicked Prophet.  The door tries to open but it is blocked.  A voice yells from behind the door but no one is around (plus Apollo walked off with the keys).  The bastard.

The wrestlers all make it out to the ring and the action begins.

Just then, we hear some music play and the spotlights begin lighting up the rafters and we see…hey… it’s the Caped Crusader (for those who may not know, the Caped Crusader looks just like the ‘Adam West’ Batman) .  He repels down to the ring to a pop from the crowd.  The Caped Crusader begins to point at all the heels in the ring and begins to scold them telling them that they need to turn over a new leaf.  Just then, Ned Rhyerson III rushes over and begins pummeling the Caped Crusader before hurling him over the top rope.  He starts to laugh until…

The Caped Crusader walks over and tells Ned that he should have listened.  CC then looks to the ceiling and hooks a wire to himself and he begins to zip back up to the rafters.  Thanks Caped Crusader!

The Masked Man wins the Battle Royal!!  The Masked man gets on the mic and introduces his new manager – ‘The Singapore Sensation’ Matt Preacher.  Preacher calls out GM Max McGillicutty and demands the contract for the title match tomorrow.  Max comes out but he tells the masked man that no unknown characters are going to be allowed to fight for the title.  Preacher begins to complain but the masked man steps in.  He says that he, at the advice of his new manager, took out Leon and it’s nothing personal, just business.  Max demands he removes his mask before he will be granted the title shot and it’s…the Wicked Prophet.  WHAT!!!!!!!  The fans are shocked and the Wicked Prophet leaves with his new manager.  Prophet takes his contract and leaves with Preacher while the fans look on in total shock.

Wow, that was a hell of a surprise.  It’s hard to believe that the Wicked Prophet has aligned himself with Matt Preacher.  We hope he has a reason for his change of attitude.

We head backstage where Clarkus Kentus is with Matches Malone.  Malone flicks matchsticks at both the cameraman and Clarkus.  Malone says that he’s going to embarrass Wildfire tonight and he’ll be nothing more than a smoldering ember.

Over with Larry Morton is Texas Wildfire.  The fans pop as he walks into shot. Wildfire says that Malone is nothing more than a bully and once he’s done with him, another mouth will be shut.

Pyro goes off and our first singles match of the night is ready to go. Matches Malone comes out to booing from the crowd.  He begins flicking matchsticks at the fans and smirks as he makes his way to the ring.  He gets in and begins to taunt the fans.  The music changes and the fans pop huge as Texas Wildfire makes his way out.  He interacts with the fans as he makes his way to the ring; never taking his eyes off of Malone.  He gets into the ring and begins to climb one of the turnbuckles but Malone runs over and yanks him off the turnbuckle and he lands on the mat.  Wildfire gets up and goes after Matches but Malone bails out of the ring.  He hangs out on the outside even after the bell is rung but finally gets into the ring so the match can start.  The two fought tooth and nail but it was Malone who had the upper hand.  Wildfire got a near fall after hitting a DDT but Malone got his foot on the bottom rope at the last moment.  At one point, Malone hit a turnbuckle smash on Wildfire but Wildfire reciprocated doing the exact same move on Malone and Matches acted like his head was going to fall off his shoulders.  Wildfire then took control of the match demolishing Matches.  At the 19 minute mark, Wildfire hit a superplex from the top rope.  It took a moment but he finally made the cover but Malone somehow got his shoulder up at the last second.  TW picked Malone up and called for a DDT but Malone threw him out of the ring.  Malone followed him out and pulled out a pair of handcuffs and locked TW to the ringside barrier.  TW was trapped.  Malone rolled back in and stood back as a helpless Wildfire got counted out.  Malone robs TW of a victory tonight and he laughs as Wildfire can only look on.  Malone leaves while the ref tries to get him free.  Once free from the handcuff, TW heads to the back.  (20 min)

We go backstage with Larry Morton and he is with Hayley Hailstone and Tempest Fortune.  Hayley says she is happy to be on the grand stage and couldn’t think of a better partner than Tempest.  Tempest calls Hayley an uncrowned champion and says good things will happen for her.  Tempest says that Vanilla Zombie and Maxine DeVito think they’re all that but tonight, she and Hayley show why they will be the better team.  Hayley smiles and says good things come to those who wait.

Clarkus Kentus is with Vanilla Zombie, Maxine DeVito and ‘the Singapore Sensation’ Matt Preacher.  Preacher said the world has been turned on its ear with him signing Apollo Gyze and (much to the fans dismay) the Wicked Prophet.  Preacher says that those goody two shoes will never amount to a hill of beans and it will be Vanilla and Maxine that will be the future of the sport.

Our next match is ready to go and Hayley Hailstone and Tempest Fortune come out to a loud pop from the crowd.  They shake hands with the fans as they make their way down to ringside.  They get in the ring and begin psyching up the crowd until the music changed and out comes ‘the Singapore Sensation’ Matt Preacher and he introduces Vanilla Zombie and ‘Sassy’ Maxine DeVito.  The two ladies come out and the fans go sour on them.  Maxine glares at (the stupidity of) the fans and she and Vanilla walk down to the ring with Preacher following behind.  The ladies get in the ring and Maxine starts mouthing off to Hayley.   Hayley slugs Maxine knocking her from the ring.  Vanilla stands there with her head cocked staring at Tempest (in a creepy way).  Preacher leaves the ring and the bell rings starting this one off.  Maxine runs to the other side of the ring and pulls Tempest off the apron.  The two slug it out while the match takes place in the ring.

Maxine pulls Vanilla out of the ring and they head to the back.  Preacher is speechless and follows them asking “What the hell just happened?”  (7 min)

Larry Morton is joined backstage by Tommy Lighting and the Smashers.  Tommy says that the Steel Curtain and Biceps Bannerman have been making them look like fools long enough and tonight, when they take the 6 Man titles, they will be the ones laughing last.

Clarkus Kentus is with the 6 Man Tag Team Champions the Steel Curtain and Biceps Bannerman.  Biceps calls Tommy a crybaby for not getting what he feels the universe owes him.  Starbuck Steel says that he and Buzz had singles matches on Monday but they are much better as a tag team for sure.  Buzz laughs and says “Fo Sho”.  Buzz says that he’s surprised the Smashers have put up with Tommy’s crap this long and it’s only a matter of time before they turn on him.  Starbuck adds that they are not giving up the titles until a team worthy enough comes along but he knows it’s not their opponents tonight.  Buzz and Biceps lean in and say “Word” and the three of them head to the ring.

Tommy Lightning and the Smashers come out to booing from the crowd.  All three flip off the fans which only incites them all the more.  They get into the ring and mock the fans drawing more and more heat.  The fans do a 180 and pop huge as the champs the Steel Curtain and Biceps Bannerman make their way out to the ring. They take time to shake hands with the fans and make their way down to the ring.  The Smasher act like they want to attack but its Tommy who holds them back.  Buzz looks at him suspiciously.   The bell rings and the match is a go.  For the first 12 minutes of the match, the teams were pretty even but after that point, Tommy got injured and became a non-factor for the next 5 minutes.  All 6 men took turns beating the hell out of each other but it was the champs who owned the match till its end.  As the time limit ran out, it was apparent that there wasn’t going to be a pin attempt so the champs took turns beating the snot out of Tommy.  Tommy locked Buzz up with a headlock on Buzz but Buzz nailed the Buzzer.  He tagged out to Starbuck who got locked up in his own headlock but he tagged right out to Biceps.  Tommy locked him up too with a headlock but Biceps dropped him with a Full Nelson & Slam.  The bell then rang bringing this one to a time limit draw.   The Smashers pulled Tommy from the ring and limped to the back.  The champs retain their belts via a draw decision.  They stayed and interacted with the fans before leaving. (30 min time limit draw)

We have one match left on the card and it is our main event for the evening.  Before we head to the ring, Clarkus Kentus introduces the challengers – Mean Jack Mason and Angry Jack Lawson.  Mean Jack says that Scooter J and TNT had a good laugh at their expense and asked Clarkus if they have a secret desire to dress in drag.  Angry Jack (who is angry all the time) says he wants to go to the ring and beat the living hell out of them.  Mean Jack agrees and the two head to the ring.

Larry Morton introduces the Tag Team Champions Scooter J and TNT.  Scooter J laughs wondering if the Jack’s got their feelings hurt.  TNT says that it’s not only their feelings that will be hurt.  He says that they have been successful in defending the belts and the Jacks will only be a stepping stone for them.  Scooter J goes all serious and says that the Jacks get this one shot and they better make it count but it won’t matter as they, as the champs, “have this”.  The champs head to the ring.

It’s time for our main event.  First, the Jacks comes out and the booing they get is really loud.  To make matters worse, they grab signs from the fans (random) and begin tearing them apart and throwing the pieces into the crowd.  They laugh.  They get in the ring and remove their jackets and await their opponents.  The music changes and out comes the World Tag Team champions Scooter J and TNT.  They high five with the fans and then make their way to the ring but stop short of entering.  Scooter J and TNT each grab a chair and enter the ring armed.  The Jacks bail.  Scooter J and TNT each took turns climbing separate turnbuckles to pops from the fans and the other stood guard to ensure no sneak attacks happened.  They got rid of the chairs and handed the belts to the ref.  The Jacks re-entered the ring and this one is ready to go.  The ref announces that the match will have a 60 minute time limit.  For the first part of the match, both teams held the advantage at times with one gaining the upper hand (normally by some illegal move from both teams).  About 11 minutes in, the champs were going strong until Scooter J and TNT were taken out of the ring and both got introduced the hard way into the steel posts.  Both men were bloodied up.  That didn’t hold them down for long though as a superkick from Scooter J to Mean Jack who was on the apron sent him flying and crashing through the Spanish announce table.  They held the advantage until 38 minutes into the match when both Jacks (by now are bloodied also) hit low blows on SJ and TNT (the ref got bumped and didn’t see it).  The ref got back to his feet.   

===== In the 38th minute of the match: ====

TNT (Templeton N. Townsend) executes a JAW JACKER....

Angry Jack Lawson executes a ANGRY CHOKESLAM.... He does not make a cover.

HOLY CRAP!  Angry Jack and Mean Jack have just become the NEW WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS!  The fans are pissed.  Mean Jack yells at the ref to give them their titles and to raise their arms in victory.  The fans get so riled up they being throwing stuff at them in the ring and garbage begins to pile up.  They don’t care.  They are the champs and they flip off the fans and leave as the show comes to an end.

Thank you for reading.  Tomorrow is the final day of our PPV extravaganza and we don’t want you to miss out so stay tuned.

HCW Wrestling Newsletter 2019 #766 – Critical Mass PPV Day 1 (4/19) – Seattle, WA


Hello fans and welcome back to our HCW newsletter.  Critical Mass is HERE and the sold out arena has fans hanging from the rafters.  The noise in the building is louder than anything we’ve ever heard.  Fans and wrestlers alike are pumped up for 3 days’ worth of wrestling and mayhem.   Making their way out, our GM’s from Tacoma and Phoenix Max McGillicutty and Master Bull begin by welcoming the fans and promising that nothing will prevent today from being what you’ve been waiting for over the past 3+ months.   Max promises 2 things…we will see some feuds conclude today and some may only be getting started.  Master Bull added that when HCW returns from its hiatus after this Sunday’s show, there will be a superstar shake up; the roster may be moving from one brand to the other.  Bull also acknowledges that there has been a lot of each brands roster making their way to the others’ show and that the GM’s will put a tighter lease on that.  Phoenix fans deserve to see theirs as does Tacoma and if the wrestlers want to “invade” the others’ show, well, that is what Supershow and PPV are for.  Bull also adds that every match except the battle royals will have 30 minute time limits to allow the participants to tell their ‘stories’.  Max concludes with the statement that 2019 will be the greatest year for HCW wrestlers and as they grow by leaps and bounds, they know that, as long as the shows are entertaining, the fans will be there.  The GM’s then leave the show.  Pyro goes off and our PPV begins now!


The first match of the evening kicks off with some music and an appearance by the Snake Pit (Niven, Leiton and Tobias Snake).  The three stand on the stage and do the fist bump to a pop from the crowd and the trio make their way down to the ring.  The get in the ring and begin getting the fans psyched up.  Their music is cut off and then we hear the brutal wailing that the 5th Column calls music.  The dastardly threesome come out and the fans boo the crap out of them.  They flip off the fans and steal some signs that they tear to shreds and then power walk down to the ring.  They enter and begin yelling at the fans to get them riled up.  The bell rings and this one is ready to go.  The Column immediately started off by triple teaming Niven and taking the advantage early on.  Both Leiton and Tobias would intercede and break up pin attempts but it took a while but Niven finally made the hot tag to Leiton.  Leiton began to clean house but the Column sequestered him to their corner and stomped him into the mat.  After about 5 minutes, Leiton makes the tag to Tobias.  Tobias hurled Baron von Blood to the floor and took out Karl Braun with the Dirty Deeds however he didn’t see Oswald hit him from behind.  Oswald began choking Tobias out and then hooked the leg.  The ref made the count and got to 3 before either Niven or Leiton were able to make it in.  The 5th Column steal another win and are proving themselves as potential challengers for the 6 man tag team titles.  The Columns win was short lived as Leiton hit Baron von Blood with a Curb Stomp and Niven speared both Karl and Oswald at the same time.  The Column limped their way to the back.  The Snake Pit celebrated with the fans briefly before leaving.  (16 min)


Backstage, Larry Morton is with Superquake Ferguson and Maximillian Redbeard.  Redbeard says that it’s taken long enough but now they have Austin and Pecs right where they want them.  Tonight, Superquake hits the Thunderous slam and he drops the knoggin stomp sending their opponents back to school.


The music begins and out comes Superquake Ferguson and Maximillian Redbeard first.  The duo interact with the fans but before they make it to the ring, their opponents Shawn ‘Abs of stone’ Austin and Perfect Pecs Stoddard rush out and attack them.  They throw Maximillan into the ringside barrier and Superquake into the steel steps.  They then handcuff Superquake to the ringside barrier.  Austin rolls Redbeard back into the ring.  The bell rings and Pecs hits Redbeard with an Irish Curse backbreaker and then tags out to Austin.  Shawn comes in but Maximillian gets to his feet and scoops Austin up for an Asgard body slam but he drops him wincing due to back pain.  Austin then hits him with a fisherman’s suplex and hooks the leg (and gets his feet on the middle rope) and gets the 3 count.  Shawn Austin and Perfect Pecs have stolen the win tonight.  Their celebration is cut short when Phoenix GM Master Bull comes out calling “bullshit” and orders Superquake be freed from the cuffs and that the match be restarted.  Austin and Pecs protest and Bull says that they can redo the match or they can go sit at home permanently.  Austin and Pecs relent.  Bull also makes this a ‘Falls count anywhere’ match.  This time, the team of Redbeard and Ferguson owned and destroyed their opponents.  There were some times where they could have ended it but opted not to and continued to inflict punishment.  19 minutes into the match, Pecs tried to powerbomb Ferguson from the apron through a table but Superquake managed to thwart it.  Superquake introduced Pecs head into the steel post and then rolled him back in.  He then tagged Maximillian in.  Redbeard scooped Pecs up and planted him with the Asgard body slam.  He makes the cover and gets the 3 count.  Maximillan and Superquake get the win and the fans pop huge for them.  They stay and interact with the fans while Pecs and Abs drag their broken selves up the ramp and to the back.  (20 min)


Larry Morton is backstage with the Axe.  Axe says that he understands and actually appreciates what Nix did in getting them both on the show tonight.  However, ukulele or not, Nix is not walking out the victor tonight.  Axe says that he’s been complacent since he hasn’t won a title in a while but defeating Nix tonight puts him on the road for a title.


Clarkus Kentus is with Nix Anderson and Nix has his ukulele.   Clarkus asks if he plans on using it in the match tonight.  Nix says that he’s going to do what he has to in order to put on a show that the fans will be talking about forever.  Once he defeats the Axe, he’s putting his name back into the title hunt and says that the World title would look pretty good around his waist.


The music changes and out comes the Axe to a nice pop from the crowd.  Axe makes his way down to the ring, climbs in and begins getting the crowd psyched up.  After a moment or two, the music changes and out comes Nix Anderson.  Nix struts down to the ring and slowly makes his way in.  He gets a mixed reaction from the crowd.  The two face off in the middle of the ring but then back off to wait for the bell to sound.  As soon as it did, Nix got in a few quick stiff shots that gave him the lead in the match.  Axe began to make a comeback and Nix brought it to a screeching halt with the Nixinator.  He then went to the corner to grab the ukulele.  He turned and swung hitting Axe with it as the same time Axe was hitting him with the Axe.  Both men went down.  Nix was able to get to his feet first.  He began strutting around the ring (the Nix Strut) and then went for the pin.  The 3 count was reached and Axe kicked out right after but the call had already been made and Nix gets the win in tonight’s contest.  The fans pop a little more in his favor.  Axe kicks the ropes in frustration.  Nix extends his hand.  Axe shakes it but pulls him in and tells him he will want a rematch.  Nix agrees to a future contest and then smirks and leaves.  Axe leaves shortly thereafter.  (8 min)


Larry Morton is with the Wicked Prophet.  Prophet says that he will bring enlightenment to Apollo in tonight’s contest.  “For too long, Apollo has been allowed to run his mouth.  Tonight, with the fans squarely in my corner, we take the trash out and a new champion will be crowned.”  Prophet heads to the ring.


Clarkus Kentus is with Hardcore Champion Apollo Gyze.  Apollo thinks that the Wicked Prophet got this far for doing favors.  “This guy still thinks that after all this time, he still deserves to be in the ring with me…WITH ME!”  Apollo is then joined by…WHAT THE HELL…’the Singapore Sensation’ Matt Preacher!  Preacher says that Apollo is part of the family and that championship isn’t going anywhere.  The two of them leave.


The battle for the Hardcore title is next.  First, we hear “TESTIFY” over the speakers and out comes the Wicked Prophet to a huge pop from the crowd.  He high fives the fans and makes his way down.  He gets in the ring and prepares for the match.  Next, we hear “APOLLO GYZE DON’T APOLOGIZE” over the loudspeakers and out comes the Hardcore Champion with his new manager.  Apollo hands Preacher the title and begins walking down to the ring.   Preacher is on the mic and tells the ref and Prophet that tonight’s match is an ECW (extreme) rules match.

Apollo Gyze wins with a DELAYED VERTICAL SUPLEX through a table over The Wicked Prophet!!!

Apollo Gyze gets the win and as Preacher hands him back his title, Apollo yells at the ref to raise his arm in victory.  Preacher then moves the ref aside and raises Apollo’s arm.  Preacher and Apollo then leave.  The Wicked Prophet was devastated.  There were a couple of fans at ringside heckling him for losing to Apollo.  Prophet looked at them and left.


Larry Morton is backstage with Drew the Canadian Love Machine.  Drew said that after losing the World title, he’s languished in mediocrity.  Now, with a challenge out there to whom he feels is THE guy, he says that the clouds have cleared and the sun is shining.  Drew says that tonight, he takes on the TV champion and luck and skill permitting, he walks out with the belt.


Also backstage is Clarkus Kentus.  He introduces the TV Champion Davis Hoffmeister.  Davis acknowledges that Drew is one of the finest people to ever lace up a pair of boots and tonight, he has the honor of defending the title against him.  Davis says he knows he doesn’t have the tenure Drew does but he knows how ‘the game’ is played and tonight, Drew gets him at his best.  Tonight, Drew and Davis meet but Davis says he will be leaving with his title intact.


The music plays and the fans pop huge as Drew the Canadian Love Machine makes his way out and down to the ring.  He interacts with the fans before sliding under the bottom rope.  He climbs the turnbuckle and the fans pop even louder.  Drew does this on all four corner posts.  Once he was done, the music changed and out comes Davis ‘the Hoff’ Hoffmeister.  Davis has the TV title slung over his shoulder.  He high fives the fans and then climbs the steps and enters the ring.  He too climbs all 4 corner turnbuckles to louder and louder pops from the fans.  Davis then meets Drew in the center of the ring and hands the TV title to the ref.  The two each take a step back and extend their hands.  The two shake and the bell rings.  Drew hits the corkscrew pescado right away and goes for the pin but Davis kicks out.   Drew picks him up and hits a second one.  He makes the cover and gets a 2 count this time.  Davis battles back hitting a flying dropkick.  Drew got to his feet only to be sent back to the mat after a clothesline.  Drew then takes Davis off his feet with a handstand headscissors takedown.  Drew gets to his feet and hits Davis with the Lover Bomb.  He goes for the pin but Davis gets his foot on the bottom rope in time.  Drew picks him up and hits a second Lover Bomb.  He pulls Davis to the center of the ring and makes the cover hooking the leg.  The ref counted 1…2…3.  Drew the Canadian Love Machine has just become the NEW TV CHAMPION!  Davis couldn’t believe it.  Drew is handed the title and is approached by Davis.  Davis puts a hand on the small of his back and extends the other to Drew in congratulations. The two shake and Davis leaves.  Drew celebrates his win for a few moments before leaving.


Violet Valkyrie is backstage with Clarkus Kentus.  She says that this is her final shot and she needs to make it work as if she doesn’t, there are other women ready to move into the limelight.  She says that tonight, Ruby Rose gets to see Violet at 100%.  She is ready to assume the spot as the #1 lady in HCW.  She tells Ruby she’d best be prepared.


We cut to Larry Morton who introduces the Ladies Champion Ruby Rose.  Ruby says that Violet is good but she’s not her.  Right now, the Ladies division rests on her shoulders and she doesn’t think that Violet has what it takes to hold the top championship.  Ruby says she’s beaten Violet twice now and tonight will make number 3 and that is the number of hand slaps on the mat Violet will hear before hearing that Ruby has retained.  Ruby says she has work to do and walks off.


It is time for our main event.  First, the stage fills with fog and then like a rocket, Violet Valkyrie comes shooting through it on a zip line that takes her right to the ring.  She drops to the mat and the fans pop huge for her.  She climbs 2 sets of turnbuckles but her music is cut off and the Ladies Champion Ruby Rose comes out.  The fans don’t care for her change of attitude and she gets a mixture of cheers and boos.  She doesn’t seem to care.  She gets in the ring and holds her title high.  She sneers when the fans don’t give her the respect she deserves.  She wastes no time and removes her jacket and the bell rings.  Violet got the upper hand early with a running one-handed bulldog but Ruby fought back and started to take control of the match after hitting the Red Wedding Facebuster but Violet manages to even things out.  We join the match at the 12 minute mark.
