This episode was supposed to air last week but due to the venue being shut down, it was postponed until tonight.
Hello fans and
welcome to another installment of the HCW Wrestling Newsletter. Pyro goes off and J9 makes her way out to the
stage. “Welcome one and all to HCW
Tacoma Thunder. Tonight on the card,
we’ll see Violet Valkyrie challenge Lady Hermann for her spot in the ladies top
10. The US title will also be on the
line as champion ‘The Ragin Cajun’ Rad Gumbo defends. Our main event is headlined by a defense of
the World Tag Team titles with the Steel Curtain defending against the 5th
Column. All this and more so let’s get
the show on the road.” The fans pop
again and J9 leaves to her logo flashing on the Omegatron.
Our first match
begins with Ghee Buttersnaps making his way out to a nice pop from the
crowd. He gets into the ring and then
the music changes and out comes ‘the Bounty Hunter’ Jake Montrose. Montrose makes it to the ring and the match
begins pretty quickly. The match goes to
9 minutes and Ghee hits the Ghee, hee, hee for a one count. After that, Jake kicked it up a notch
smashing Ghee’s head into the corner turnbuckle. Jake ends it with a forearm sledge to the
back knocking Ghee out on his feet.
Montrose goes for the pin and secures the 1-2-3. The Bounty Hunter secures the win much to the
chagrin of the fans. He smirks as he
makes his way to the back. (14 min)
J9 is backstage
with the Masked Banana. MB says there’s
a time for drinking margaritas (as his theme song suggests) and there is a time
to be serious. He says the King of HCW the
Wicked Prophet is making his life impossible by continuing to suggest that they
are one in the same. He says he will
continue to prove that statement wrong for as long as it takes.
We head back to
the ring for our next match. First, the
former King and now ‘Luke Warm’ Lucas Johnston comes out to a…luke warm
reception from the crowd. He makes his
way down and into the ring. Next, the
music changes and out he comes:
Peach,
Pomegranate, Lime Margarita
Green,
orange, purple margarita
Salt,
rocks, frozen margarita
Hey
Margarita!
The Masked Banana
comes out to a pretty loud pop from the crowd.
He stops by his fan club the Banana Boat, pets someone’s version of
Nannie and makes his way to the ring.
The bell rings once MB got into the ring. For the first 8 minutes of the match, it was
pretty evenly matched between the two.
Lucas turned up the heat and began stunning MB with continued dropkicks. Lucas hits his famous Flying Dropkick and
goes for the pin but MB kicks out at 1.
MB battles back a few minutes later hitting the Banana Hammock and he
went for the pin but Lucas got his foot on the bottom rope to stop the
count. At the 16 minute mark, MB went
for the Banana Cream Pie but Lucas reversed it hitting a flying body
press. He went for the pin but MB kicks
out at 2. Lucas picks him up and hits a
bridging back suplex. With MB’s
shoulders on the mat, the ref counted 1-2-3.
Lucas Johnston gets the win and for the first time in a long time, the
fans became vocal about it. Lucas has
his arm raised and the fans began to boo; not much but just at a ‘luke warm’
level. Lucas leaves. The Masked Banana gets some nice applause for
a good try. He stops once again at the Banana
Boat before heading to the back. (17
min)
Back in the office
of the GM, Master Bull is hard at work until Wilber Townsend bursts in. “I demand the title shot tonight for the US
title.” Bull stands up. “Do you now?” Just then, ‘Mountain Man’ Junior Huber,
Wilber’s cousin, comes in and also demands tonight’s title defense. Bull sits back down. “Tell you what. Tonight, I’ll make the US title match a
triple threat HOWEVER, unlike other triple threat types of matches, you MUST
pin the champion in order to win the title.
You cannot pin each other.”
Wilber and Junior stare at each other and then agree to the rules. “Now get out.
I have work to do” Bull exclaims.
Wilber and Junior leave but then the lights flicker. Bull looks up only
to see the creepy version of Wilber standing in front of him. The lights flicker and Bull shakes his head
and it’s all gone….or was it even there at all?
We head back to
the ring for our next match. The
loudspeakers blare as the Omeagatron lights up:
APOLLO GYZE DON’T
APOLOGIZE
Out comes Apollo
to massive booing from the crowd. He
flips them off as he doesn’t give a rat’s ass what they think. He makes his way to the ring as the booing
continues. Apollo mocks the fans from
the ring until the music changes and out comes ‘the Hoff’ Davis
Hoffmeister. The fans do a 180 and Davis
gets the loudest pop of the night so far.
Davis makes his way out and interacts with the fans before making his
way into the ring. Apollo doesn’t care
for the pop Davis is getting so he attacks him before the bell. This match is a challenge match for Davis’
spot in the US title top 10. Apollo
controls the pace of the match until Davis got his groove but that was short
lived after Apollo threw Davis out of the ring.
Apollo then hit the ropes and hit a suicide dive through the ropes
colliding with Davis and both men crashed into the ringside barrier. Both men were down for almost the 8 count but
Apollo got to his feet first and after punting Davis in the head, he rolled
back into the ring just before the ref counted to 10 beating the count. The ref calls for the bell and awards the
match to Apollo via count out decision.
Apollo grabs the mic and says he’s now officially next in line for a
title shot after Wilber and Junior flunk out.
He says that once he defeats Rad to win the title, he will never have to
apologize to anyone ever again. (6 ½
min)
J9 is backstage
again with the Ragin Cajun the US Champion Rad Gumbo and his manager Miss
Alexandria. Rad says that it doesn’t
matter if it’s one on one, 2 on one, the roster against him; he will walk out
with his title. He then looks at the
camera and tells Apollo “Mon Ami, you will wish you didn’t win dat match. You’re about to experience a whole world of
Cajun hurt.” Rad and his manager walk
off.
We are back at the
ring.
This is another
challenge match; this time Violet Valkyrie is challenging Lady Hermann for her
spot in the top 10. Violet comes out as
fog fills the stage and explodes like a rocket as she rushes down to the ring. She slides under the bottom rope. She climbs the corner turnbuckle and the fans
pop loud for her. She steps down as the
music changes and out comes her challenger Lady Hermann. Her Ladyship makes her way to the ring and is
all business. The fans boo her but she
ignores them. She climbs over the top
rope and stands nose to nose with Violet in the center of the ring. The bell rings and Violet hits the ropes and
tries for a shoulderblock only for Lady Hermann to barely budge. She motions for Violet to try it again but
this time, it was like hitting a brick wall and Violet bounces off falling to
the mat. She looks concerned. Lady Hermann tells her to try it a third
time. Violet hits the ropes and ducks a
clothesline and hits a flying dropkick that takes her Ladyship off her
feet. The fans pop huge. Violet started off strong but then Lady
Hermann used her power and started to dominate Violet but Violet’s speed kept
things mostly even between the two. At
the 19 minute mark, Lady Hermann executed a swinging neckbreaker but Violet
managed to grab her arm and lock her into a triangle choke. Lady Hermann stood up with Violet still
attached and not letting go. Lady
Hermann dropped to her knees and finally to her back with Violet not letting go. Eventually, she had no choice and tapped
out. Violet Valkyrie gets the win via
submission and is back in the top 10.
She stands tall and motions around her waist that she is coming after
the Ladies title. She leaves to a pop
from the crowd. Lady Hermann follows
shortly thereafter. (19 min)
J9 is with the 5th
Column. Baron von Blood, Karl Braun and
Oswald Zimmerman walk into the pitcutre.
J9 asks which of them will be wrestling tonight. Baron says that it doesn’t really matter who
wrestles tonight as they will enact the ‘Freebird’ rule and they all will be the
champions. Karl says he and Baron will
wrestle tonight but Oswald will be in their corner. Oswald says that the 5th Column
will defeat the “American cowards” the Steel Curtain and the ‘real’ champs will
take over.
We head back to
the ring for our triple threat match for the US title. The rules are that the belt will ONLY change
hands if the champion is pinned. First,
Junior Huber makes his way out to booing form the crowd. Next, the lights go dim and Wilber Townsend
makes his way out to booing from the crowd.
He gets into the ring and he and Junior stare at each other. Finally, the champ makes his way out.
“GUMBO 7:30 MEANS
ITS SUPPA TIME, BITCH” and out comes the ‘Ragin Cajun’ Rad Gumbo and his
manager Miss Alexandria. The three men
instantly begin slugging it out and for a whopping 25 minutes the 3 men beat
the holy hell out of each other. Each
person hit their specialty move only for the saves to be made. We join the match at the 26th
minute mark.

J9 introduces the
World Tag Team the Steel Curtain. Buzz
and Starbuck Steel walk into the camera shot.
Buzz begins. “5th
Column…Baron von Boredom, Mr. Braunny,
and Oswald the Zipper. You think your
extra muscle is going to help you win the belts? Let’s see how you’ve done so far…Nope, can’t
think of it. You bunch of yahoos are not
in our league and tonight, we prove it.
Tell em Buck.” Starbuck steps
up. “We have proven that we are one of
the best if not the best tag team around.
Everyone wants a shot at us and each time we shut them down. Doesn’t matter if it’s the Column, the Hubers
or Scooter J and TNT. Step up and we’ll
set you down.” Both men take a step
towards the camera but then turn to look at J9 who says “WORD”.
It’s time for our
main event. First, the challengers the 5th
Column come out – Baron Von Blood, Karl Braun and Oswald Zimmerman. They are booed as they make their way to the
ring. The music changed and out comes
the World Tag Team Champions the Steel Curtain.
The champs come
out and the fans pop huge for them. They
stand tall on the stage holding their titles high. They make their way to the ring and after
interacting with the fans at ringside, they entered the ring and climbed the
turnbuckles holding the belts high. The
match begins and this one is off to the races.
The Column gets the early jump on the champs but it doesn’t take long for
them to take control of the match. About
19 minutes in, Oswald tried to get involved by sneaking his teammates a foreign
object but was cut off by the ref and sent Oswald to the back much to the
dismay of his teammates. We now join the
