Hello fans and welcome back to another installment of the HCW Wrestling Newsletter. We have a lot of great action tonight that will include two title matches and an appearance from the Ladies Champion.
The show begins
with pyro going off and the fans in attendance popping huge for the show
tonight. Music hits and we hear “KORBI
KONG SMASH” blast from the loudspeakers and the crowd explodes as the Ladies
Champion Korbi Kong makes her way out.
She stands on the stage soaking in the applause from the fans. She finally begins the trek to the ring
shaking hands with fans and making a pit stop at her new fan club Clan
Kong. The fans here are extremely loud
as their leader shakes hands with almost everyone there and then continues her
trek to the ring. Once in the ring, she
gets on the mic. She thanks the fans for
attending tonight and backing her as she made her way back to the Ladies
Champion. She says she is addressing
Luciana’s challenge. The crowd boos as
the mere mention of the former champion.
Korbi says that Luciana has to be given credit where credit is due. She was a very dominant champion but her
reign of terror is over and now, it’s the year of the Kong. The crowd pops. She says that she officially is accepting
Luciana’s rematch challenge for the Saturday Night Showdown show in a
week. She promises to show the fans not
only why she was able to defeat Luciana but will be THEIR champion. They pop again. Korbi climbs the corner turnbuckle holding
her title high and then she leaves. Upon
heading behind the curtain, we are now ready for our matches to get underway.
Match #1: The
Freedom Fighters vs the Snake Pit
The Snake Pit
(Leiton, Niven, and Tobias Snake) make their way out first. The fans boo as the trio does a fist bump on
the stage and Tobias and Niven head to the ring. Leiton heads to the back. Next, the Freedom Fighters (Flash and
Justice) make their way out to a decent pop from the crowd. Once the match began, both teams held the
advantage for different portions of the match.
Once we got to the 23 minute mark, Tobias hits Flash with a Hook and
Ladder facebuster and goes for the pin but Justice barely makes the save in
time. Tobias hits a running crossbody
before tagging Niven in. Flash nails a
Reverse Spike Hurricanrana and hooks the leg for the 1-2-3 before Tobias even
noticed what had happened. The Freedom
Fighters get the win and the fans pop for them.
The Snake Pit heads to the back.
The Freedom Fighters celebrate the win before heading back on their
own. (25 min)
Backstage, Owen ‘Orange
Fury’ Zestwell is cutting a promo for him match against Evan Stockwell for the
TV title. He tells Evan not to
underestimate the power of the Orange Fury Force.
Match #2: Adam
Jameson vs Negropolis
Negropolis makes
his way out first to massive booing from the crowd. He flips them off and continues on his way to
the ring. Adam Jameson makes his way out
and receives a solid pop from the crowd.
He makes his way into the ring and is immediately attacked by
Negropolis. Adam immediately fought back
and actually dominated the entire match.
At the 25 minute mark, Adam hits a gut buster but Negropolis hits a snap
suplex. He goes for the pin and puts his
feet on the ropes but the ref sees it and stops counting at 2. Negropolis complains to the ref. He hits Adam with a Dragon suplex and then
showboats. He turns around only for Adam
to connect with another gut buster and rolls Negropolis up for the 1-2-3. Adam Jameson gets the win and the crowd pops
for him. He makes his way to the back. Negropolis continues to argue with the ref
but eventually leaves. (27 min)
Backstage, TV
Champion Evan Stockwell is with his manager Ruth Heartles and cuts a promo
degrading Owen Zestwell as an old fogie who has no reason to be in a wrestling
ring. He then reminds us he single-handedly
sent the Banker packing from HCW and the world is a better place for it.
Match #3: The
Wicked Prophet vs Outback Oscar
Outback
Oscar came down first to a pop from the crowd.
When it was the Wicked Prophet’s turn, the crowd went negative on
him. The match was intense from start to
finish with Prophet not realizing the challenge he was up against. Despite
Outback Oscar's resilience and crowd support, The Wicked Prophet maintained
control with several punishing moves. The Wicked Prophet repeatedly locked in
the Crucifix Clutch, but Outback Oscar refused to submit each time. Outback
Oscar fought back with moves like the Swinging Neckbreaker and Full Nelson Face
Smash, keeping the audience on the edge of their seats. The Wicked Prophet's
relentless attacks, including Prop 8 and Baptism of Fire, wore down his
opponent. Even when Outback Oscar managed to kick out of multiple pin attempts,
the heel continued his onslaught. Towards the end, The Wicked Prophet executed
the Unrighteous Dominion, setting up for the final pin along with a fast count
from the referee, "Fast Count" Frank. The match ended with The Wicked
Prophet's victory, much to the dismay of the fans. Outback Oscar's valiant
effort earned him admiration, but the night belonged to the devious Wicked
Prophet. (20 min)
We head backstage
with the US Champion Dennis Marshall. Dennis
says he’s the #1 contender for the World Title and once he defeats Jack Lumber,
he will be the first dual champion in years.
Match #4: TV
title match: Evan Stockwell w/the Banker
vs Owen ‘Orange Fury’ Zestwell.
Owen made his way
out first to a solid pop from the home crowd.
Owen shook hands with the fans as he made his way to the ring. He climbed in and after climbing the second
turnbuckle, the fans began an “Orange Fury” chant which brought a smile to his
face. What didn’t was when his music was
abruptly cut off and the TV Champion Evan Stockwell and his manager Ruth
Heartless made their way out. The fans
booed heavily and the dastardly duo just soaked it in before beginning the trek
to the ring. Evan climbed in and held the
TV title high as Ruth stood next to him holding the briefcase. Evan looked at Owen and scoffed at him
before shaking his head. He handed the
title to the ref and the match began but not before Evan demanded this be a no
DQ match. Owen quickly agreed and Ruth
smiled her devious smile.

[Scene: The backstage area is buzzing with
activity. The camera focuses on ‘The Commando’ Zack Brown, who is standing
confidently, his eyes burning with determination. The interviewer approaches
him.]
Interviewer: Zack, tonight you face the US Champion Dennis Marshall. He’s
been vocal about looking past you and on to the World Champion Jack
Lumber. He said he would make you regret
stepping into the ring with him. What’s your response to that?
Zack
Brown: [Smirking] You know,
Dennis Marshall has a big mouth, and he’s been running it non-stop. He thinks
he can just walk over me, like I’m some kind of stepping stone on his path to
glory. But let me tell you something, Dennis. You might be the US Champion, but
tonight, you’re stepping into the ring with ‘The Commando.’
[Zack’s expression turns serious, his
voice filled with intensity.]
Zack
Brown: You see, Dennis, I’ve been
through battles that would make most men crumble. I’ve faced opponents who
underestimated me, just like you are right now. And every single time, I’ve
come out on top. You think looking past me is a smart move? It’s the biggest
mistake you’ll ever make.
[The camera cuts to Dennis Marshall, who
is watching the promo on a monitor backstage. He scoffs and shakes his head,
clearly unimpressed.]
Zack
Brown: Tonight, when that bell
rings, you’re going to realize that underestimating ‘The Commando’ was your
first and last mistake. I’m not just here to compete; I’m here to win. And when
I do, you’ll be the one regretting ever looking past me. So, Dennis, get ready,
because tonight, you’re in for the fight of your life.
[The camera zooms in on Zack’s determined face as he
walks away, ready for the match.]
[Scene fades out.]
Match #5: The
Main Event: US Title Match: Dennis Marshall vs Zack Brown.
‘The Commando’
Zack Brown comes out first to a massive pop from the crowd. He takes the time to shake hands with the
fans as he makes his way to the ring. He
walks around the ring acknowledging the fans and then enters the ring. He doesn’t have to wait long as Dennis
Marshall’s music hits and the fans go sour on the US Champion. Dennis flips them off as he steps on stage
and continues to do so as he makes his way to the ring. Each step is met with higher levels of
distaste. He wipes his feet before
entering the ring and steps through the ropes.
He walks by Zack and climbs the turnbuckle holding his title high. The booing intensifies. He steps down. The ref asks for the belt and Dennis refuses
visiting each corner and doing the same thing.
Finally, he hands the title to the ref so our match can begin.

Zack Brown gets
the win via submission and becomes the NEW US CHAMPION!!! The fans pop huge for him. This was a very hard fought victory and he’s
clearly exhausted. The ref hands him the
US Title and he holds it proudly high and the fans pop HUGE. Just then, he is blindsided by the Rich
Athlete who stomps and kicks the newly crowned Champion not giving him a chance
to defend himself. The Rich Athlete
picks Zack up and nails him with the Fortune’s Fist before locking in the Luxurious
Leglock. Zack couldn’t get free even
though the ref was trying to help. The
ref did get shoved down by Ruth Heartless who joined them in the ring. The Rich Athlete finally let up and demanded
a mic.
The Rich Athlete
grabs a mic and raises it to his lips, waiting for the boos to subside.]
The Rich Athlete: [Laughing] Oh, you all thought this was Zack Brown’s big
moment, didn’t you? You thought this was his fairytale ending. Well, guess
what? Fairytales don’t exist in my world!
[The boos grow
louder, and The Rich Athlete revels in the heat.]
The Rich Athlete: Zack Brown, you might have fooled these idiots into
thinking you’re a hero, but to me, you’re nothing but a stepping stone. You
see, I don’t care about your hard-fought victory or your little moment of
glory. You caused me to get my first loss in HCW and now all I care about is
making sure everyone knows that The Rich Athlete is the true star of this show!
[He points down at
Zack, who is struggling to get up.]
The Rich Athlete: Look at you, Zack. You’re lying there, clutching that title
like it means something. But let me tell you, it means nothing when you’re up
against me. I am the future of this business, and I will not be overshadowed by
a nobody like you!
[The crowd’s boos
are deafening, but The Rich Athlete continues, undeterred.]
The Rich Athlete: And as for you people, you can boo all you want. It doesn’t
change the fact that I am better than each and every one of you. I have the
money, the talent, and the looks. I am the total package, and there’s nothing
any of you can do about it!
[He turns his
attention back to Zack, who is now on his knees, still holding the title.]
The Rich Athlete: Zack, enjoy your little moment while it lasts, because I’m
coming for that title. And when I do, there will be no fairytales, no happy
endings. Just cold, hard reality. The reality that The Rich Athlete is the best
there is, and there’s nothing you or anyone else can do to change that!
[He drops the mic
with a smirk, and the camera captures the furious faces of the fans as the show
fades to black.]
That was intense! How do you think Zack will respond to this
brutal attack and harsh words from The Rich Athlete? I guess you’ll have to stay tuned to find
out.
