HCW Wrestling Newsletter 2024 #1026 (Miami) – 8/11/24

Hello Wrestling Fans and welcome to another installment of the HCW Wrestling Newsletter.  On the card tonight, Luna Shadow takes on the Cummings Twins in a handicap match.  If she can outsmart the twins like they did in Orlando, she and Goldie will get them in a Steel Cage. We’ve also been told that Count Vlad has more announcements to make.  The US Title will be defended by Zack Brown against the newest member of the Flaggship Rex Rampage where Col. Flagg will get a shot at World Title glory when he takes on World Champion Jack Lumber.  There is a lot happening so let’s get this going.

 

Kickoff Segment

[The arena lights dim as a haunting, gothic melody fills the air. The crowd buzzes with anticipation as the spotlight focuses on the entrance ramp. Count Vlad, dressed in an elegant yet sinister suit, steps out with a confident smirk. He raises a microphone to his lips, and the crowd falls silent.]

Count Vlad: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Heritage Championship Wrestling! Tonight, I have a special treat for all of you. Allow me to introduce the newest addition to my team, a force of nature, a predator in the ring… ‘The Widow’s Fang’ Selena Blackfang!

[The crowd erupts with boos as Selena Blackfang, a fierce and imposing figure, steps out from the shadows. Flanking her is the monstrous being, who exudes an aura of raw power and menace.

 

Count Vlad: You are no doubt asking yourself who this monster is.  All in good time.  Now, it is Selena’s turn.

The trio makes their way to the ring, with Count Vlad leading the way.]

Count Vlad: Selena Blackfang is not just any competitor. She is a predator, a hunter, and tonight, she will make her mark in HCW by dismantling her opponent, Chloe Parker.  Once she is done, Selena will show you all what true dominance looks like.

[Selena and this BEAST enter the ring, with Count Vlad standing proudly beside them. The crowd’s anticipation grows as Chloe Parker’s music hits, and she makes her way to the ring, determined but wary.]

Count Vlad: Chloe Parker, you may have heart, but tonight, you face a force unlike any other. Selena Blackfang will show you no mercy, and my BEAST will ensure that no one interferes. Prepare yourselves, HCW universe, for a display of pure, unrelenting power!

 

Match #1:  Chloe Parker vs ‘The Widow’s Fang’ Selena Blackfang w/ Count Vlad

 

[The bell rings, and the match begins. Selena Blackfang immediately takes control, showcasing her strength and agility. She dominates Chloe Parker with a series of powerful moves, reminiscent of Luciana Albano’s ruthless style and Korbi Kong’s intensity. Count Vlad and his BEAST watch from ringside, their presence adding to the intimidation factor.]

[At the 13 minute mark, Could Vlad gets involved and HIT FOE WITH TRANSYLVANIA SPIKE.  Selena executes a cradle DDT leaving Chloe Parker motionless on the mat. The referee counts the pinfall, and Selena Blackfang is declared the winner. Count Vlad and his BEAST join her in the ring, raising her hand in victory as the crowd reacts with a mix of awe and fear.]

Count Vlad: Remember this night, HCW universe. The era of Selena Blackfang has begun, and there is no stopping her. Welcome to the new age of dominance!

[Count Vlad raises the microphone again, a sinister smile spreading across his face.]

Count Vlad: But that’s not all. Allow me to introduce you to the most fearsome faction in HCW history. Together, they are the Dark Dominion! First, we have the ruthless Fangs of Despair, ready to tear apart anyone who stands in their way.

[Out comes Dr. Red Fang and Nightfang to huge booing from the crowd and head to the ring.]

Count Vlad:   Next, the enigmatic Night Stalkers, masters of the shadows and bringers of chaos.

 

[Bloodfang and Shadowfang make their way to the ring to stand with their Fangmates.]

Count Vlad:  You just witnessed the deadly Selena Blackfang.  Lastly, my BEAST, the unstoppable Beastfang!  Together, we will reign supreme over HCW, and there is nothing any of you can do to stop us!

[The crowd erupts in boos as the members of the Dark Dominion stand tall in the ring.  The faction stands united, exuding an aura of menace and power.]

Count Vlad: HCW, prepare yourselves for the reign of the Dark Dominion. We are here to dominate, to conquer, and to destroy anyone who dares to oppose us. The darkness has arrived, and there is no escape!

[The segment ends with the Dark Dominion standing tall in the ring, their presence casting a shadow over the entire arena as the crowd continues to boo.]

The Dark Dominion then head to the back.  Looks like HCW may be in for some dark days ahead.

 

 

Match #2:  Luna Shadow vs the Cummings Twins in a handicap match.

 

The Cummings Twins Betsy and Felicia come out first to massive booing from the crowd.  They make their way into the ring and get no the mic.  They state that Goldie is banned from ringside which made the fans angry. They kept jaw jacking until Luna came out.  She had a mc of her own.  She said that it was ok that the twins were afraid of her and Goldie together so they would want to set as many obstacles in their way.  She then proposed that if she can go the time limit, it will count as a win for her.  Betsy responded “30 minutes against us?  If you can do that, sure, you can count that as your win.” Luna came down and jumped into the ring starting this match off. 

 

The match showcased intense competition between Luna Shadow and her opponents, Felicia Cummings, with frequent tag team interventions from Betsy Cummings. Both teams had their moments of dominance, with Luna delivering several powerful moves like the Starafall DDT and Moonlit Suplex, while the Cummings sisters executed moves like the Sitout Facebuster and Rolling Leglock.

 

The match saw both teams alternating control, with notable moments including Felicia's Leapimg Snapmare and Betsy's Sunset Flip. Despite Luna’s strong attacks, including a successful Eclipse Dropkick and Midnight Moonsault, the Cummings duo fought back with a series of well-executed offensive maneuvers and successful pin attempts.

 

Double-teaming tactics were a significant aspect of the match, with the Cummings sisters teaming up for moves like the Sitout Facebuster and Armbars, but Luna Shadow managed to counter several attempts and maintain her ground.

 

As the match progressed into its final minutes, both teams showed resilience, with Luna executing a Twilight Powerbomb and various high-impact moves from the Cummings sisters. Despite each side's strong performances, no clear winner emerged as the match ended in a draw. Consequently, this means that Luna Shadow and Goldie Locks will face the Cummings twins in a steel cage match.

 

The twins were not happy how this ended and tried to take Luna out after the match but Goldie showed up with a steel chair in hand and the twins ended up backing down; their upcoming match locked in and ready to go. 

 

 

Match #3:  US Title Match:  Zack ‘the Commando’ Brown vs Rex Rampage. 

 

Up next, Flaggship member Rex Rampage comes out to massive booing from the crowd.  Col. Flagg joins him on the stage which just gets the fans all the more riled up.  Flagg gets on the mic and says that tonight, Rampage becomes the US Champion and he dethrones the wannabe champion Jack Lumber.  Rampage heads to the ring on his own and Flagg heads to the back making this seem like it will be one on one.  The music changes and the fans pop as the Commando makes his way out.  He salutes the crowd and holds the US title high.  He then walks to the ring shaking hands with fans and then gets into the ring; never taking his eyes off Rampage. 

 

The match begins with Zack hitting a Paratrooper Plunge.  Next, Zack is thrown to the corner and Rampage charges looking to hit the Rampage Stampede but Zack moves and Rex nails the ring side post.  Rex rolls out of the ring nursing his arm and shoulder.  He starts to throw a tantrum.  He begins hurling items from ringside into the ring; one item narrowly missing the ref.  The ref, not happy, then did a pretty fast 10 count and counted Rex out.  Zack gets the win via countout.  Rampage hits the ring and goes after Zack but Zack hurls him to the floor.  Just then, ‘the Bounty Hunter’ Jake Montrose comes in from the crowd and attacks Rex from behind and they fight all the way to the back.

 

Back in the ring, Zack is celebrating his first title defense until he is blindsided by the Rich Athlete.  The two begin brawling in the ring and had to be separated.  (Editor’s note:  This part actually lasted longer than the official match).  After Zack got in a good shot, the Rich Athlete bailed from the ring and began yelling curses at Zack.  Zack motioned for him to come back to the ring but Ruth Heartless came out and stopped him telling him that there WILL be another time.  The Rich Athlete, face in a scowl, backs up the ramp and goes to the back.  Zack eventually followed.

 

Backstage, Evan Stockwell and the Banker have an altercation.  GM Max McGillicutty shows up and says he is making a match between them at the go-home show.  The winner gets the next TV title shot at the PPV.  Both men agree and separate.

 

 

Match #4:  The Snake Pit vs Steel Justice w/the Shadow Master

 

Steel Justice – Kellyn Chrisari and Alex Justice come out first to a huge pop from the crowd.  They interact with the fans and make their way to the ring.  The Snake Pit, Niven and Tobias Snake, came out next to booing from the crowd.   After threatening to hit a couple of fans for mouthing off to them, they made their way into the ring.  Before the match could begin, the World Tag Team Champions – the New Sicilians – made their way out.  They went to sit at ringside and immediately began distracting Steel Justice.  The Snake Pit took advantage of this and controlled the pace of the match.  Anytime SJ tried to get momentum going, the Albano’s negated it. At the 14 minute mark, Dirty Dick Albano threw Niven Snake a steel chair while Tobias distracted the referee.  Kellyn immediately hit Niven with a Quiver dropkick that made the chair impact Niven’s face.  He fell out of the ring.  Alex then hit the ropes and went flying hitting a Justice Dive onto Niven through the ringside barrier.  Alex made it back in to the ring but Niven did not and ended up getting counted out.  Steel Justice gets the win via countout.  Tobias left to go check on his brother and the New Sicilians attacked Kellyn and Alex in the ring.  It didn’t last long as the Dynamic Duo came out and chased the New Sicilians away.  Chris Matthews said that Steel Justice came to help them against the Albano’s so they reciprocated.  He suggested that they meet next week in a #1 contenders match to see who gets to take on the Albano’s for the Tag Team Titles at the PPV.  Steel Justice accepts.  All 4 men shake hands and then head to the back to sign a contract to make it official.

 

Backstage, Rex was apologizing to Col. Flagg.  Flagg said it wasn’t his fault and that Montrose stuck his nose in again in their business.  He said after he becomes the World Champion, he will deal with the Bounty Hunter.

 

 

Match #5: The Main Event:World Title Match:  Jack Lumber vs Col Flagg. 

 

Col. Samuel Flagg comes out first to major heat from the crowd.  He hollers slurs at the fans and threatens to backhand a few.  He gets into the ring.  “AaaaTENnnnSHUN Maggots!  On your feet and acknowledge greatness!”  The fans get even more riled up (didn’t think that was possible).  He kept egging them on until we hear “TIMMMMMBERRRRRR” and out comes everyone’s favorite flannel wearing lumberjack Jack Lumber, HCW World Champion.   Jack stops by the Lumber Lounge and then shakes hands with at least 3 dozen fans before making his way into the ring.  He climbs the turnbuckle and holds his title high.  As soon as he hands the title to the ref, the match begins.

Jack Lumber is successful and the fans pop the loudest all night for their World Champion.  Jack is celebrating in the ring when he sees a disturbance over by the Lumber Lounge.  He leans over the ropes for a better look and from the Lumber Lounge comes Wilber Townsend wearing his creepy half-melted Pennywise mask.   Wilber is holding a fan who is terrified of the Eater of Worlds.  Jack jumps out of the ring and rushes over to the Lumber Lounge but not before Wilber throws down a smoke bomb.  By the time Jack made it over, the fan was there curled in a ball and Wilber was nowhere to be found.  Jack tries to console the fan as other fans rush in to help.  Jack is pissed.

 

Before the show ended, we cut to the back where we see Count Vlad watching on a monitor.  “That was well done.   Excellent.  I may have to speak to him soon.”

 

The camera fades out and our show comes to an end.  With Wilber back to his creepy ways, Jack and the rest of HCW need to be wary.  More to come so stay tuned.

 

HCW Wrestling Newsletter 2024 #1025 – Supershow (Orlando) – 8/10/24

Hello wrestling fans and welcome to another installment of the HCW Wrestling Newsletter.  We are on the road today visiting sunny Orlando, FL for today’s Supershow event.  The TV title and the World Tag Team Titles will be on the line tonight along with some qualifiers that will help us determine who will be wrestling for the belts at the Reign of Champions PPV (or PLEE (Premium Live Extraordinary Event) if you prefer that term.)  There is a lot happening tonight so let’s get right to the action.

 

 

Match #1:  Goldie Locks vs the Cummings Twins in a handicap match. 

 

The Cummings Twins, Betsy and Felicia, come out first to massive booing from the crowd.  They blow mocking kisses to the fans and continue to the ring.  After they had their chance to get the crowd riled up, the music changed and comes Goldie Locks accompanied by Luna Shadow.  Luna is not part of the match tonight as this was set up as a handicap match against Goldie.  If Goldie can score a win against the diabolical twins, Luna gets her shot tomorrow and if she is successful, they will get the twins in a STEEL CAGE at the go-home show.  Goldie enters the ring keeping an eye on the twins.  The bell rings but Luna jumps up on the apron.  She calls Goldie over and then SLAPS her across the face right in front of the ref.  WHAT THE HELL?  The ref then immediately calls for the bell signifying a DQ against…the TWINS!  Goldie jumps out of the ring and she and Luna have a hearty laugh as they put one over on their opponents.  With Goldie’s win (even if it’s a DQ win), Luna gets her shot.  The Twins are pissed that they got outsmarted and they promise it won’t happen again.  The twins eventually left the ring.  (30 seconds)

 

 

Match #2:  Wilber Townsend vs Julius Squeezer

 

Julius Squeezer comes out first to a huge pop from the crowd.  He makes his way down and into the ring.  A moment later, the music changes but the lights remained.  Wilber Townsend comes out and stops by the Lumber Lounge looking for the World Champion.  He threatens a few of the Loungers asking for their leader and then LEAPS over the barrier and shoves people and chairs around looking for Jack who is nowhere to be found.  He leaps back over the barrier and heads to the ring.  I am not sure this writer has ever seen Wilber be this put off by mind games.  Normally, he is the master but now, he’s missing a beat.  Wilber gets into the ring and the match begins.  Wilber dominated the match hitting the Go To Sleep at the 3 minute mark but he pulled Julius up at the 2 count.  A couple of minutes later, he hits the GTS again and pulls Julius up.  He is clearly sending a message to Jack.  At the 9 minute mark, Wilber hits the GTS for a third time and Julius is practically out on his feet.  He locks in a rear chinlock and then converts it into an easy 1-2-3 at the 10 minute mark.  Wilber gets on the mic and tells Jack that he is coming for him AND the title.  He throws down the mic and walks away.  Julius makes it to his feet and heads to the back under his own power.

 

 

Match #3:  Duke Knight vs Negropolis for the next shot at the Hardcore Title

 

Negropolis makes his way out first to heavy booing from the crowd.  He flips them off uncaring if it’s directed at kids or adults (what a royal @$$).  He gets into the ring and the ref announces that this match will determine who gets the next title shot at the Hardcore title.  The music changes and Duke Knight is introduced to a huge pop from the crowd.  He makes his way down to the ring and shakes hands with the fans at ringside.  He gets into the ring.  Negropolis immediately attacks him starting this one off.  These two have no love loss for each other. 

 

The match between Duke Knight and Negropolis was intense from the very start, with Negropolis launching a surprise attack on Duke before the bell even rang. Despite the early setback, Duke Knight fought back valiantly, executing powerful moves like the Neckbreaker and Hangman DDT. Negropolis, however, was relentless, delivering devastating attacks such as the Black Doom and Thrust Kick. The match saw both wrestlers exchanging high-impact maneuvers, with Duke Knight showcasing his resilience by kicking out of multiple pin attempts. The crowd was on the edge of their seats as Duke Knight narrowly escaped being counted out twice after being thrown out of the ring by Negropolis. In the end, Duke Knight’s determination paid off as he executed a Flying Fivearm, securing the pinfall victory over Negropolis.

 

With this win, Duke Knight has earned himself a title match at the PPV against current Hardcore Champion ‘the Alaskan Wildman’ Jax Brenner.  Duke celebrates with the fans as Negropolis kept complaining of his tights being pulled.  He stares daggers at Duke as he leaves the ring.  I have a sneaky suspicion that this is not over between the two.  (18 min)

 

Alejandro Guerrero and ‘The Magnificent One’ Juan Raul (JR) Fargo Backstage Promo

[Camera fades in to Alejandro Guerrero and JR Fargo standing in front of the HCW backdrop, their HCW 6 Man Tag Team Championship belts draped over their shoulders.]

Alejandro Guerrero: Tonight, we stand here not just as champions, but as warriors ready to conquer new heights. The New Sicilians may think they have the upper hand with their dirty tactics and underhanded manager, Pierre Boulay, but they haven’t faced a team like us. JR and I, along with Dominic Marconi, have proven time and again that we are the best in this business.

JR Fargo: That’s right, Alejandro! The New Sicilians might be holding those World Tag Team titles, but tonight, we’re bringing the fight to them. Dirty Dick Albano and Vicious Vinnie Albano, you better be ready because we’re not just coming for those belts, we’re coming to show the world what true champions look like. Pierre Boulay, you can try all the tricks in the book, but nothing will stop us from walking out with those titles around our waists.

Alejandro Guerrero: Tonight, the HCW universe will witness the rise of new World Tag Team Champions. The Magnificent One and I are ready to make history. New Sicilians, prepare yourselves, because the era of Guerrero and Fargo is about to begin!

[Camera fades out as Alejandro and JR raise their 6 Man championship belts high.]

 

Match #4:  Evan Stockwell vs Dominic Marconi

 

‘The Italian Thoroughbred’ Dominic Marconi makes his way out first to a solid pop from the crowd.  He shakes hands with the fans and heads into the ring.  He does some light stretches as he awaits his opponent.  The music then changed and out comes Evan Stockwell and his manager Ruth Heartless.  The duo are booed heavily as they make their way to the ring.  They enter the ring with briefcase in hand and are ready for action. Ruth takes the briefcase and makes her way out of the ring. 

 

The match between Dominic Marconi and Evan Stockwell, with his manager Ruth Heartless, was a thrilling encounter. From the outset, Stockwell took control with a powerful Dividend Dropkick, putting Marconi on the defensive. Ruth Heartless played her part, executing a sneaky eye gouge that further weakened Marconi. Despite the early setbacks, Marconi fought back with determination, delivering a series of powerful moves like the Head First Body Slam and Power Forearms. Stockwell, however, continued to press his advantage with moves like the Liquidation Leg Sweep and Hostile Takeover. The match saw both competitors exchanging high-impact maneuvers, with Marconi showcasing his resilience by kicking out of multiple pin attempts.

With Marconi on the outside of the ring and the ref counting, he didn’t see the Banker sneak in from the crowd and BLASTS Evan with the briefcase.  Evan is stunned but not down.  The Banker then delivers a Deposit Diving DDT right on the briefcase and exiting the ring just before Dominic rolled back in beating the 10 count.  Dominic shook off the cobwebs and picked up Evan locking him in a backbreaker.  Evan, unconscious, had his arm raised once (if fell), a second time (it fell) and a third time (it fell).  The ref then calls the match in favor of Dominic Marconi via submission.  The fans pop as Dominic has his arm raised and he leaves to head to the back.  Ruth is in the ring and tries to revive Evan who eventually comes around.  She tells him what happened and Evan gets up like nothing was wrong and storms (and stumbles) to the back.

 

The New Sicilians Backstage Promo

[Camera fades in to Dirty Dick Albano, Vicious Vinnie Albano, and Pierre Boulay standing in a dimly lit room, the World Tag Team titles gleaming under the light.]

Pierre Boulay: Ladies and gentlemen, tonight is a night of reckoning. Alejandro Guerrero and JR Fargo think they can waltz in and take what belongs to the New Sicilians? They are sorely mistaken. My boys, Dirty Dick and Vicious Vinnie, have been dominating this division, and tonight will be no different.

Dirty Dick Albano: Guerrero, Fargo, you two are nothing but pretenders. You may have those 6 Man Tag Team titles, but the World Tag Team titles are a whole different ball game. We’re the kings of this division, and tonight, we’re going to show you why.

Vicious Vinnie Albano: That’s right, Dick! Guerrero and Fargo, you better be ready for a fight because we’re not just going to beat you, we’re going to humiliate you. Pierre has a few tricks up his sleeve, and there’s no way you’re walking out with our titles.

Pierre Boulay: Tonight, the New Sicilians will prove once again why we are the most dominant force in HCW. Guerrero, Fargo, prepare to be outclassed, outmatched, and outwrestled. The New Sicilians reign supreme, and there’s nothing you can do about it.

[Camera fades out as the New Sicilians smirk confidently, holding their titles high.]

 

Match #5:  TV Title Match:  Owen Zestwell vs Apollo Gyze. 

 

The loudspeakers echo with “APOLLO GYZE DON’T APOLOGIZE” and out comes Apollo to the loudest displeasure from the crowd we’ve heard all night.  He sneers at the fans and makes his way to the ring.  He motions that he will be taking the TV title and walking out the champion which incites the fans all the more.  They pop as the TV Champion Owen ‘Orange Fury’ Zestwell makes his way out.  He holds his title and then shakes his finger at Apollo signifying there was no chance in hell he is taking THIS title.  Owen makes it to the ring and enters.  The match begins as soon as Owen handed the title to the ref.  Apollo got in some cheap shots early on but the champ fought back.  After hurling Owen to the outside, we see Alejandro Guerrero come out and he’s limping.  He stops and asks a fan to borrow their cane.  He begins his walk to the ring limping and Apollo is there laughing hysterically.  Alejandro makes it to the ring and as Apollo leans over to disparage him, Alejandro WHACKS Apollo with the cane breaking it.  Apollo falls out of the ring.  Alejandro drops the pieces and disappears into the crowd.  Owen makes it back in before the 10 count.  The ref sees Apollo on the outside and begins counting.  He reaches 10 and then awards the match to Owen via countout.  Owen takes his title, holds it high for the fans, and then heads to the back.  He looks down at Apollo, tries to stifle a laugh and leaves.  Apollo eventually makes it to his feet and he heads to the back.  (5 min)

 

Backstage, Dominic Marconi is attacked by two unknown assailants backstage and locked in a dressing room before having the door barricaded.  It does not appear he will be able to help his team.

 

 

Match #6:  The Main Event:  World Tag Team Title match vs JR Fargo and Alejandro Guerrero

 

JR and Alejandro come out first to a massive pop from the crowd.  They do not know what just transpired backstage or who is responsible.  Once in the ring, the music changed and the World Tag Team Champions  - the New Sicilians with their manager Pierre Boulay – made their way out to massive booing from the crowd.  It doesn’t seem that they were behind the attack on Dominic so if it wasn’t them, who was it?   Dick and Vinnie got in the ring and held their titles high as Pierre pointed to his Champions.  The belts were handed off to the ref and the match began.

The show comes to an end with the Night Stalkers, the Fangs of Despair and Count Vlad all standing in the middle of the ring hovering over JR and Alejandro. 

 

Count Vlad’s new stable rivals any ‘bloodline’ and will prove to be a threat moving forward.  Stay tuned to see what happens next in Miami.

HCW Wrestling Newsletter 2024 #1024 – 8/3/24

Hello Wrestling Fans and welcome to another installment of the HCW Wrestling Newsletter.  We have an action packed card tonight that will see the Hardcore Champion Jax Brenner defend his title against Madman Mason.  We will see Mr. X in action as well as the Banker.  The main event of tonight’s show will see the Ladies Champion Korbi Kong defend the title against Trinity Bowman.  All this and more is coming your way so let’s get this show on the road.

 

[Scene: The office of GM Max McGillicutty. The room is adorned with wrestling memorabilia and championship belts. Max is seated at his desk when Count Vlad, dressed in his dark, regal attire, makes his entrance.]

Max McGillicutty:  Count Vlad, welcome to HCW. [He shows the Count to a seat.]

Count Vlad: “Max, it’s a pleasure to finally meet you. I’ve heard much about your leadership here in HCW. The Fangs of Destruction have reached out to me, seeking more…vicious guidance. They believe I can take them to new heights.”

[Max nods, intrigued by Vlad’s proposition. Just then, the door opens, and the Ambassador, the current manager of the Fangs of Destruction, walks in.]

Max McGillicutty: “Ambassador, glad you could join us. This is Count Vlad. He has an interesting proposal regarding the Fangs of Despair.”

[The Ambassador eyes Count Vlad warily as Vlad steps forward.]

Count Vlad: “Ambassador, I understand the Fangs have been under your management, but they have expressed a desire for a more ruthless direction. I am here to purchase their contracts and lead them to dominance.”

[The Ambassador crosses his arms, skeptical.]

Ambassador: “Purchase their contracts? The Fangs are my team. Why should I hand them over to you?”

[Count Vlad reaches into his coat and pulls out a check, presenting it to the Ambassador. The Ambassador’s eyes widen as he sees the amount.]

Count Vlad: “This should more than compensate for your investment.  I understand your attachment to the team however, in order to properly get to know my team, I need to take over immediately.” 

[The Ambassador hesitates for a moment, until Vlad presents a second check, just as impressive as the first, then nods, accepting the checks.]

Ambassador: “Very well, Count Vlad. You have a deal. The Fangs are yours to lead.”

[Count Vlad smiles, a sinister glint in his eyes.]

Count Vlad: “Excellent. Together, we will unleash a new era of destruction in HCW.”

[Max McGillicutty watches the exchange, knowing that this alliance will bring significant changes to the HCW landscape. The scene fades out as the three men shake hands, sealing the deal.]

 

Match #1: Jake Montrose vs Ivan Dragovich. 

 

The Russian Bear Ivan Dragovich comes out to massive booing from the crowd.  He curses at them in Russian, flips them off, and continues his way to the ring.  ‘The Bounty Hunter’ Jake Montrose comes out and he gets a decent pop from the crowd.  He makes his way to the ring where an impatient Russian paces the ring.  Jake was holding his own until Rex Rampage came out at the 4 minute mark and while Ivan distracted the referee, Rex plowed through Jake with a spear through the ringside barrier.  Rex then ran Jake head first into the steel post busting him open.  He threw him back in the ring and went to hide in the crowd.  Ivan then dominated the rest of the match with Jake barely hanging in there.  The merciful end came when Ivan hit the ropes and nailed a jumping side kick.  He made the cover and got the easy 1-2-3.  Ivan gets the win and immediately leaves the ring.  Rex comes back in from the crowd and attacks Jake again.  He managed to plant Jake with 3 huge powerbombs before enough refs ran out there to break things up.  Jake was in a bad way and needed to be stretchered to the back.  (16 min)

 

 

Match #2: Wilber Townsend vs Muscles Thorpe

 

Muscles Thorpe comes out first accompanied by his Muscles brothers.  They act all goofy on the stage and Thorpe makes his way to the ring solo.  He continues to get the crowd pumped until the lights go dim and out comes Wilber Townsend.  Wilber advances to the ring carrying a lantern.  He makes his way to the ring and extinguishes it as the lights come up.  Wilber looks like he’s going to attack Thorpe but just then, World Champion Jack Lumber comes out and the fans pop huge for him.  He walks down to the ring and stares at Wilber.  Wilber looks perplexed.  Jack then opens a bag he’s carrying and takes out a half-melted Pennywise the clown mask…just like the one Wilber wears from time to time.  Wilber looks on with a quizzical look on his face.  Jack is playing the mind games and now it seems he got under Wilber’s skin.  Wilber seems put off and then just ups and leaves before the bell ever rang.  Muscles Thorpe is confused.  The music changes and it seems Thorpe has a new opponent. 

 

 

Match #2: Mr X vs Muscles Thorpe

 

Mr. X makes his way out to massive heat from the crowd.   He makes his way down ignoring the fans who were hollering at him.  He gets into the ring and immediately goes after Thorpe. 

 

In an intense wrestling match, Mr. X, the heel, faced off against Muscles Thorpe, the fan favorite. The match began with both wrestlers exchanging moves, with Mr. X landing a Turnaround Sidekick and scoring 8 points, while Muscles Thorpe responded with an Abdominal Stretch for 7 points. As the match progressed, Mr. X executed a series of powerful moves, including Martial Arts and Dropkicks, often outscoring Thorpe, who retaliated with his own techniques like Knee Lifts and Muscles Crush. Despite Thorpe's best efforts, including a Side Belly-to-Belly Suplex and a Running Splash, Mr. X maintained a narrow lead throughout most of the match.

The climax came in the final minutes when Mr. X, having used his signature Bare Foot Kicks and a Polynesian Piledriver, went for a pin attempt after a Turnaround Sidekick. Thorpe managed to kick out, but Mr. X's relentless offense eventually wore him down. In a dramatic finish, Mr. X executed a final Turnaround Sidekick, pinning Muscles Thorpe for the victory.

The fans booed him unrelenting and he just took it all in and laughed as he was the last man standing.  He left the ring and make his way to the back.  (26 min)

 

GM Max McGillicutty comes out and apologies to the fans for Wilber just walking off and having to find an alternative.  He says Wilber will be held accountable.  He then says he has great news to share and lets everyone know that HCW is going back on the road…this time to sunny Florida.  He says there will be back to back shows – one in Orlando and one in Miami before they return home.  The fans pop as it will be nice to get fresh face into the arena all the while giving the wrestlers new scenery.   Max states that there is a lot going to be happening over the next few weeks as we build up to the Reign of Champions PPV in 4 weeks.  He thanks the fans again and then leaves to let the show continue.

 

 

Match #3: Alejandro Guerrero vs the Banker

 

The Banker makes his way out first to booing from the crowd.  He gets into the ring and lets the fans continue to do their thing.  The music changed and the fans pop for 1/3^rd of the Six Man Tag Team Champions Alejandro Guerrero comes out.  He makes his way to the ring but before he can enter the ring, Apollo Gyze runs down and rams him into the steel post.  He then grabs Alejandro’s arm and smashed it against the post.  The ref and security rush down and get Apollo out of there but the damage is done.  The ref asks Alejandro if he wants to continue and he says yes.  Alejandro manages a bulldog but it’s pretty weak due to his hurt arm.  The Banker hits a Repossession Rib buster and then locks in the ATM fee armbar and het gets Alejandro to tap out.  The Banker gets the win in just two minutes.  The Banker celebrates his win but Max comes out and says that Apollo will be fined for his attack on Alejandro.  Max says they can continue the match if Guerrero is up to it.  Alejandro shakes off the numbness and acknowledges he wants to start the match over.  The bell rings.  The Banker begins with a powerslam but Alejandro nails a Tornado DDT and makes the cover getting a 2 count.  The Banker comes back and locks in the ATM Fee armbar trying to get Guerrero to submit but he makes it to the ropes to break the hold.  The two go back and forth until Alejandro is thrown out of the ring.  He sees Apollo in the audience and almost forgets about the count.  He is back in at 8.  More back and forth action leads to a Foreclosure Frankensteiner but Lee comes back with the Triple Rolling Suplexes.  He makes the cover but the Banker is too close to the ropes and gets his foot on the bottom rope to stop the count.  He hits the Triple Rolling Suplex again and goes for the cover getting a 2 count this time.  Apollo hops the barricade and begins yelling at Alejandro.  The Banker looks like he was going to try something but just then, Evan Stockwell jumps in and stuns the Banker with a neck snap across the top rope.  He staggers back into the ring.  Lee turns his attention back to the ring and sees the Banker wobbily on his feet.  He nails a missile dropkick and makes the cover for the 1-2-3.  Alejandro gets the win and the fans pop.  Apollo is on the outside and is pissed.  He gets on the mic calling Guerrero a punk who can barely walk after the punishment he dished out.  He calls Alejandro weak for relying on a fan (The Crow Master) to come to his aid.  Alejandro jumps out of the ring and he and Apollo fight all the way to the back.  In the meantime, Evan grabbed his briefcase and blasted the Banker between the eyes knocking him to the ground.  Evan gets on a mic and says “This is how I finish business.  Oh, and by the way, Orange Moron, maybe you need to relinquish the TV title to me now before you break a hip or pull a quad and can’t walk without your walker.”  The fans boo the hell out out him and he laughs before dropping the mic and leaving.  (10 min for the match, 10 for the full aftermath)

 

Backstage, Col. Flagg is with Rex Rampage and congratulates him on a job well done.  Now they can concentrate on getting tag team gold.

 

Match #4:   Hardcore Title Match:  ‘the Alaskan Wildman’ Jax Brenner vs Madman Mason

 

Madman Mason made his way out first to massive booing from the crowd.  When it was the champ’s turn, the fans pop huge as the Champ Jax and his manger Molly Mason made their way to the ring.  Jax says he’s going with a concept new to HCW but a staples elsewhere (credit to TL Promotions)…A Hellhole Miner Massacre. 

 

In a fierce battle between the Hardcore Champion Jax Brenner and the heel Madman Mason, both competitors showcased their skills and resilience. The match started with Brenner and Mason trading impactful moves, with Brenner initially gaining the upper hand with a powerful Pickaxe while Mason responded with a Vertical Suplex. Brenner continued to dominate early on, delivering a Headbutt with Helmet that left Mason reeling. However, Mason countered with a Psychotic Break and a Power Bomb, coming close to a victory with a pin attempt that Brenner barely escaped.

As the match progressed, Brenner's offensive strategy proved relentless with moves like the Bigfoot Bomb and a Lung Punch with a Coal Miner Glove, pushing him ahead and attempting several pinfalls. Mason struggled to defend against Brenner’s onslaught and despite his efforts, including a late-game Power Bomb, he couldn’t secure a win. Brenner's persistence paid off when he executed a decisive Body Slam, pinning Mason for the victory. Brenner's performance solidified his dominance and retained his Hardcore Championship title with a well-earned win.

Jax gets the win and the fans pop huge for him.  Molly greets him in the ring and puts the title around his waist.  Just then, the Omegatron lights up and we see a shadowy figure taking a sledgehammer to Jax’s Hummer.  Jax, pissed off, rushes out of the ring with Molly struggling to catch up.

 

Jax makes his way into the parking lot and once he gets there, he sees a lot of damage done to his car.  As he’s looking things over, he is attacked by Tommy ‘the Morningstar’ Sullivan.  Sullivan gets in quite a few good shots before security rushes over and breaks things up.  Tommy has some choice words for Jax which riles him up but with the amount of security in between them, he cannot get his hands on the Morningstar.  The Hardcore Champion is PISSED!

 

 

Match #5:  The Main Event:  Ladies Title Match:  Korbi Kong vs Trinity Bowman

           

First, Trinity Bowman comes out to boos from the crowd (because they know who is coming out next).  The music changes and we hear “KORBI KONG SMASH” and out comes the Ladies Champion.  The fans’ pop is deafening.  She makes a stop by Clan Kong (her fan club) before she continues walking to the ring.  She gets in and climbs the turnbuckle holding her title high until the music changed and out comes Luciana Albano.  She saunters down to the ring and goes to commentary.  She mockingly waves to the champ and puts on a headset. 

 

In a highly anticipated clash, the Ladies Champion Korbi Kong squared off against the formidable Trinity Bowman. From the opening moments, Korbi Kong took charge, delivering a devastating Mile High Flying Elbow Drop that nearly secured an early victory. Trinity Bowman, known for her resilience, fought back with a fierce Bow-Flex maneuver, showing that she wasn't going down without a fight. However, Korbi's persistent offensive, including a Running Shoulder Block, kept the pressure on Trinity.

At ringside, Luciana Albano in her place at the commentary table, added mystery and intrigue to the match. Luciana, a known rival of Korbi, couldn't resist commenting on the last encounter between the two. "Korbi took the cheap way out in their last match, opting for a disqualification win," she remarked, clearly still holding a grudge. She held up her Money in the Bank contract, teasing that she might cash in at any moment but kept everyone guessing by not revealing her plans.  Eventually she sat back down.

The bout continued with both women exchanging powerful moves, with Korbi landing a significant Backbreaker. Despite Trinity's efforts to fight back, Korbi's dominance was undeniable. As the match reached its climax, Korbi delivered another crushing Backbreaker and secured a decisive pin. With Trinity down for the count, Korbi Kong emerged victorious, solidifying her reign as the Ladies Champion.

As the show neared its end, Korbi Kong celebrated her hard-fought victory, only for the camera to shift to Luciana Albano, who decided it was time to get involved.  Tensions flared as Luciana approached the ring, glaring daggers at Korbi. The two rivals locked eyes, their animosity palpable. In a dramatic turn, Luciana charged into the ring, and the two women clashed in a flurry of fists and shoves. Security rushed to separate them as the crowd roared, adding an explosive conclusion to an already thrilling show.

With the two rivals dealing blows and constantly having to be separated by security, our show comes to a close.  We hit the road next weekend so stay tuned as the drama continues.
