Hello fans and
welcome back to another installment of the HCW Wrestling Newsletter. We are back in Phoenix after an extended
break following the PPV House of Horrors.
Things truly got insane on the show.
Pyro goes off kicking things into high gear when out comes the
reinstated GM Master Bull. The fans pop
as Bull makes his way to the ring. He
gets in and gets on a mic. He thanks the
fans for attending and for making the PPV one of the best shows of the
year. He then goes on to go over the
card tonight which will include a TV title defense as well as the US title
match as our main event. To get things
going, Bull then calls out former GM Ruth Heartless. Ruth comes down with a little less swagger in
her step. Bull tells her that he should
fire her but says he will be taking the high road. He says that Ruth is back as The Banker’s
manager. She turns to leave but Bull has
her wait. She defiantly turns around and
Bull says “just kidding”. She leaves and
heads to the back but once on the stage, she produces a microphone and tells
Bull that she left him a going away present.
She leaves. Bull questions what
it is and leaves the ring so the matches can begin.
Pyro goes off once
again and kicking off tonight’s show is a TV title defense. TV Champion Drew the Canadian Love Machine
comes out first to a huge pop from the crowd.
Once in the ring, Drew climbs each corner turnbuckle and holds his title
high. The fans pop louder and louder. Familiar music hits and out comes…I don’t
believe it…he’s back….Scooter J. The
fans pop for his return as he stands on the stage looking out at the sea of
fans. He smirks and heads down to the
ring. He gets in the ring and climbs one
of the turnbuckles and the fans pop louder.
He removes his jacket and is ready to get things started off when out
comes TNT. The fans give him a nice pop
as he makes his way to the ring. He
begins to jaw jack with Scooter J accusing him of abandoning him to go “find
his smile”. The two former friends start
pushing each other. Drew comes over
trying to break things up when both men turn and ATTACK him. Scooter J and TNT begin putting the boots to
Drew in a pre-match beatdown. TNT hits
Drew with the TNT and Scooter J piledrives him in the middle of the ring. TNT leaves the ring and forces the ring
attendant to ring the bell. The fans are
shocked and boo both TNT and Scooter J.
Drew shakes off the attack and hits Scooter J with a corkscrew
pescado. He goes for the cover but TNT
puts SJ’s leg on the bottom rope. A
couple of minutes later, Drew tries for a second pescado but SJ nullifies
it. 6 minutes in, Scooter J stuns Drew
with the 10 punches but Drew exits the ring before SJ could attempt a pin. SJ chokes Drew on the ropes but Drew drops
him with a powerslam and follows it up with a superkick. Before he could attempt a pin, TNT jumps up
on the ring apron for the distraction.
TNT eats a punch from Drew and falls to the floor. SJ hits Drew with a superkick of his own and
then rolls Drew up with a handful of tights and his feet on the ropes as the
ref counts 1-2-3. Scooter J gets the win
and becomes the NEW TV CHAMPION!!! The
fans boo as Scooter J takes the title from the ref and holds it high. TNT joins him and the fans voice their displeasure
at the behavior of these two. Scooter J
and TNT leave smirking. (8 min)
Back in his
office, GM Master Bull is with the combined World and US Champion Wicked
Prophet. Prophet questions why he has to
wrestle the local ice cream vendor. Bull
tells him that he will not be allowed to hold two titles beyond tonight so
either he will lose (Prophet interjects “Highly unlikely”) or he will need to
drop it. Prophet acts as if he was going
to do that now but Bull tells him that he is on the card and he will be
wrestling…no if’s, and’s or but’s about it.
Prophet walks out of the office.
It’s time for our
next match which is a 6 man tag team battle.
First, the Muscles Trio (Thorpe, Weasley and McGuire) come out wearing
their rainbow colored bull horns. They
hand out mini boxes of Booty O’s cereal to the fans and then make their way to
the ring. Shortly thereafter, the music
changes and out comes the Snake Pit (Leiton, Niven and Tobias Snake). The Pit hit the ring and attack the Muscles
starting this one off. The Muscles
actually took control early and held it throughout half the match but after
both Weasley and McGuire got injured leaving Thrope on his own, the Pit took
turns beating on him. Finally, Weasley
and McGuire both make the return and start to take the Pit apart but it was too
little too late. Thrope laid on the
outside of the ring trying to catch his breath.
Weasley was double teamed for the final two minutes of the match and
this one ends in a draw. The bell rings
bringing this one to an official close and the two teams left without further
interaction. (30 min draw)
Backstage, Jack
Lumber and the Masked Banana are talking with people when they are interrupted
by Travis and Terra Ryzing – the Ryzing Storm.
Terra makes fun of them but then the Masked Banana shouts out “Maclunkey”. Terra looks confused and Jack tells him to go
online and he’ll be educated. Terra
doesn’t like to be insulted and challenges them to a match. Lumber and Banana agree. Looks like we have another match on the card
tonight.
Next on the card
is our ladies match. First, out comes
Lady Hermann to booing from the crowd.
She mostly ignores them and makes her way into the ring. Next, the stage fills with fog and Violet
Valkyrie runs out right down to the ring sliding under the bottom rope. She gives her Ladyship a glare and then
climbs the turnbuckle to a pop from the crowd.
The match begins quickly. Violet
hits a running double axe handle smash and Lady Hermann hits the Natural
Selection cutter. Lady Hermann begins to
lay in with some knife edge chops (woooooo).
Violet stuns her with a jumping knee smash. Lady Hermann lays in with the knife edge
chops again (woooo). Lady Hermann hits
the ropes but doesn’t do anything.
Violet jumps on her back and takes her to the mat locking in the triangle
choke. Lady Hermann thrashed around a bit but when it
was apparent she wasn’t breaking the hold, she tapped out. Violet Valkyrie gets the dominant win in 5
minutes. Violet stays to interact with
the fans before heading to the back.
Backstage, the
King of Cones Magnum Kone arrives. He is
stopped and asked about comments that Wicked Prophet made about him. “What did he say?” Magnum asked. He was shown the taped footage and Magnum
said he’d deal with Prophet in the ring and win the US title. After that, he will become the #1 contender
to the World Title and he will take that too.
Next up, the
Ryzing Storm comes out first for tag team action. They are booed as they head to the ring. They flip the fans off and pace in the
ring. The loudspeaker blares out “Ladies
and Gentlemen…the Flannelnana’s!” and out comes the Anytime/Anywhere Champion
Jack Lumber (minus his title) and the Masked Banana. Each man goes over to their respective fan
bases (Lumber to the Lumber Lounge and Banana to the Banana Boat) before meeting
back up on the ramp and heading to the ring for their first ever team up. The Ryzing Storm attacked them starting the
match off. It didn’t last long as Lumber
and Banana dominated and tamed the storm.
The fans popped each time Lumber or Banana made the hot tag. 16 minutes in, Lumber hits a huge chop to the
chest of Terra Ryzing and he went for the pin only for Terra to kick out at
2. Lumber dragged him to their corner
and tagged in the Masked Banana. Banana
psyched himself up, yelled “Maclunkey” again and hit the Simply Bananas. He went for the pin and got the uncontested 3
count. MB and Lumber are victorious in
their first outing as a team. The two
celebrated with the fans before heading to the back. (17 min)
The World Champion
the Wicked Prophet is backstage with a mic.
“Did
you hear the words? My prophecy manifested, and I am the World Champion. The
fans of HCW will be blessed. My ways are mysterious, and you will see the
light. Glory to my fans, they are deserving. They have stuck with me through
tribulation and this is their reward. The hearts of the children will turn to
their father’s and more will be brought into the fold.” (If this sounds remotely familiar, he cut a
similar promo but used less words this time so (his words, not ours) the
Phoenix fans can understand him).
It
is time for our Main Event. First, we
hear the familiar chime ring and out comes “The King of Cones” Magnum
Kone. He interacts with the fans sharing
ice cream treats with the kids at ringside.
Once the treats have been handed out, he gets into the ring and removes
his jacket. The music changes and the
lights go dim except for some spotlights.
We hear some angelic song and out comes the combined US/World Champion
the Wicked Prophet. The fans boo the crap out of him. He looks down on those booing with disdain. He slowly makes his way to the ring and takes
his time entering. He shoos Magnum from
the center of the ring and removes his title holding it high for all to
see. The booing intensifies. He hands the US title to the ref and then
steps over to his corner waiting for the match to begin.

The
Wicked Prophet gets the win but with this win, he must surrender the
title. He forcibly takes it from the ref
and holds both his titles high. He then
leans over the top rope and upon seeing a trash can, he throws the US title
into the trash. The fans go ballistic. Prophet smirks and climbs the turnbuckle to
massive booing from the crowd as the show ends.
As
soon as the cameras stopped rolling, the music changed and out coms Texas
Wildfire. TW runs down to the ring and
he and Prophet begin brawling. Prophet
exits the ring quickly. Wildfire gets on
the mic and tells the fans that on Sunday in Tacoma, he is getting his rematch
for the title. With one title now gone,
it will be one final 3 count for Prophet to be title-less. The fans pop as Wildfire and Prophet jaw jack
to send the fans home happy.
Stay
tuned as things are heating up.
