Hello wrestling fans and welcome back to another installment of the HCW Wrestling Newsletter. Pierre Boulay started things off backstage saying how he “felt bad” that the New Sicilians DECIMATED the Muscles Duo and felt they deserved another shot but this time, it will be for the Heritage Tag Team Titles.
The Snake Pit
demanded a match against the Dark Dominion with Count Vlad agreeing to a match
against Terror Fang, the Morningstar, and Beastfang. JR Fargo and Alejandro Guerrero have agreed
to a rematch against Ethan Hayes and Rafael ‘Rafa’ Sandoval. The Commando continues to demand his rematch
for the US Title but the Rich Athlete keeps dodging him. We’ll also see the Flaggship, the Orange
Fusion Force and more in action so let’s get right to it (however, with the
full card, Mr X. gets bumped again).
Match #1: Phoenix Blaze vs Kimberly Kiccsass
Kimberly Kiccsass strutted down the ramp, her
black-and-gold outfit gleaming as she soaked in the boos from the crowd.
Unfazed by the negative reaction, she confidently made her way to the ring.
Not long after, Phoenix
Blaze made her entrance to a huge pop from the crowd, her high-energy music
setting the tone. She sprinted down the ramp, engaging with the fans as her
fiery red gear shimmered under the lights.
As soon as the bell rang, Kimberly exploded out of the gate
with a high-risk maneuver, nailing a Top Rope Leg Drop that caught
Phoenix off guard. The impact stunned Phoenix, who struggled to shake off the
blow early in the match.
Despite the rough start, Phoenix quickly turned things
around. As Kimberly moved in for more offense, Phoenix countered with a
flawless Double Underhook Suplex, sending her opponent crashing to the
mat. The crowd rallied behind Phoenix, who began to gain momentum.
Phoenix followed up by lifting Kimberly into a Capture
Suplex, executing it perfectly and keeping control of the match. Kimberly
tried to fight back, but Phoenix’s technical skills shone through.
Mike "The Voice" Johnson: "Phoenix
Blaze is starting to take charge here—she’s not giving Kimberly an inch!"
However, Kimberly was not one to stay down for long. She
countered Phoenix’s offense with a sneaky reversal, getting behind her and
locking in a tight Back Mounted Chin Lock. Phoenix squirmed in the hold
as Kimberly applied pressure, clearly intent on wearing her down.
Phoenix managed to break free, using her strength to deliver
a Fallaway Slam that rocked Kimberly. But before Phoenix could
capitalize, Kimberly retaliated with her own power move—a vicious Toronto
Slam that left both competitors down for a moment.
In the final stretch, Kimberly saw her opportunity and
seized it. She locked Phoenix in her deadly Christo submission hold.
Phoenix struggled but couldn’t break free, the pain evident as she fought to
stay in the match.
Johnny "The Hammer" Harris: "Kimberly’s
got that Christo locked in—this could be it!"
With Phoenix trapped and unable to escape, Kimberly
transitioned into a pin, hooking both legs and puts her feet on the ropes for
leverage.
Referee: "1... 2... 3!"
Winner: Kimberly Kiccsass (via pinfall after Christo)
Kimberly stood tall, relishing her victory as the crowd
rained down boos. Phoenix, clearly frustrated but determined, rolled out of the
ring after a hard-fought contest. Kimberly raised her arm in triumph, proving
that tonight, she had the upper hand over one of HCW’s most popular
competitors.
Phoenix heads to
the back and Kimberly taunts the fans briefly before heading to the back
herself.
[Backstage Segment]
The camera cuts to the dimly lit backstage area of
the HCW arena, where General Manager Max McGillicutty is pacing outside his
office. He stops as Count Vlad approaches, his black cloak flowing behind him,
eyes gleaming with sinister intent.
Max McGillicutty (smiling nervously): "Bună
ziua, Vlad... ah, I mean, good evening, Count Vlad."
He quickly corrects himself, realizing his slip into
Romanian.
Count Vlad (grinning): "Ah, Max...
your linguistic skills are impressive, but unnecessary."
Max straightens his posture, clearing his throat as
he gets straight to business.
Max McGillicutty: "Let me cut
to the chase, Vlad. I run HCW. This is my company, and I make and enforce the
rules around here. If you want to bring in any new hires to your... Dark
Dominion, they need to be vetted by me first."
Vlad tilts his head slightly, his smile unwavering,
though there's a flicker of something darker in his eyes.
Count Vlad: "Of course, Max. We
wouldn't want to... disturb the order of your kingdom, now would we?"
Max crosses his arms, maintaining his authority
despite the eerie aura emanating from Vlad.
Max McGillicutty: "Good. Just
remember, I’m the one in charge here."
Vlad nods, an unsettling grin still plastered on his
face.
Count Vlad: "Understood... for
now."
Max McGillicutty: "Lastly, what
is the deal with that cryptic promo from Dr. Red Fang?”
With that, Count Vlad gives a slight bow, his eyes
never leaving Max’s, before he silently turns and glides out of the frame,
leaving Max standing there, visibly relieved but still cautious.
Max McGillicutty (muttering to himself):
"I don’t trust that guy one bit..."
The camera fades out, the tension thick in the air.
Match #2: The
Flaggship vs OFF
The match began with Mike "The Voice" Johnson
hyping up the crowd. “Listen to this place explode for Orange Fusion Force!” he
exclaimed as Owen Zestwell and Julius Squeezer made their way to the ring, the
crowd firmly behind them.
However, Johnny "The Hammer" Harris wasn’t as
enthusiastic when the Flaggship appeared. “And here comes the Flaggship! Look
at Flagg, flipping off the crowd like the class act he is,” Johnny said
sarcastically. “These guys have no respect for anything or anyone.”
As the action kicked off with Zestwell hitting a Jersey Driver,
Mike shouted, “Orange Fury is on fire right out of the gate!” Johnny chimed in,
“Flagg’s gonna have to pull out every dirty trick in the book to get back in
this one.”
When Rex Rampage tagged in, and the double-team assault began,
Mike sounded worried: “Uh oh, here comes the cheap shots! That’s the Flaggship
for you, double-teaming Zestwell like a pack of vultures!” Johnny added,
“That’s what they do best, Mike—cut corners and break rules. You can’t trust
Flagg as far as you can throw him.”
After Squeezer turned the tide with a huge Double Underhook
Powerbomb, Mike excitedly called, “Squeezer with a massive powerbomb! This is
Orange Fusion’s chance to turn this match around!” Johnny countered, “But
Flagg’s not done yet, look at him, Mike. He’s about to load that boot like the
Iron Sheik!”
As Flagg hit the Enzuigiri to end the match, Mike shouted, “No!
Squeezer’s down! This can’t be it!” But Johnny, seeing the pin, said, “One,
two… three! Flagg steals another one with that dirty Enzuigiri!”
After the final bell, Mike could only shake his head. “The
Flaggship pulls out the win, but you can’t deny Orange Fusion Force gave it
everything they had.” Johnny added, “Yeah, they put up a great fight, but with
guys like Flagg and Rampage, it’s never a fair fight.”
The commentary closed with Mike summing up the match, “Love them
or hate them, the Flaggship are dangerous. But Orange Fusion Force will bounce
back—there’s no quit in these guys!”
Backstage,
Larry Morton stands in front of the HCW backdrop, microphone in hand, looking
slightly nervous. Next to him is the imposing figure of The Banker, his sharp
suit impeccable as always, but the intensity in his eyes reveals that something
is brewing.
Larry Morton: "Ladies and gentlemen, I'm
here with The Banker, and there's been a lot of speculation about your future
in HCW. You've been involved in some heated situations recently, especially
with 'The Financial Maverick' Evan Stockwell. What do you have to say about
that?"
The Banker adjusts his tie and glares into the camera, his voice
dripping with venom.
The Banker: "My time here in HCW may be
ticking away, Larry, but let me make one thing perfectly clear. Whether I have
one day, one week, or one year left here, I intend to make every single moment
count. And there’s one name that’s going to be permanently etched in misery
because of me—Evan Stockwell."
The crowd in the arena can be heard reacting as Banker's tone
darkens.
The Banker: "You see, Stockwell, you
think you’ve built an empire, huh? You think you’re untouchable, that your
'Million Dollar Alliance' has shielded you from consequences. But let me tell
you something. Empires fall. And I'm going to be the one who burns yours to the
ground. I’m going to bankrupt your soul, Stockwell. You think you're the
'Financial Maverick'? I'm going to make sure your stocks plummet and leave you
with nothing but regrets and—"
Suddenly, out of nowhere, Evan
Stockwell storms into the scene,
blindsiding The Banker! The force sends The Banker crashing into the backdrop,
and Stockwell wastes no time, raining down vicious punches.
Larry Morton: "Oh my God! Evan Stockwell
is attacking The Banker! Somebody get security!"
The arena crowd reacts with shock and boos as Stockwell grabs The
Banker by his shirt and slams him into a nearby equipment case. The Banker's
head snaps back from the impact, and Stockwell’s face twists into a smug grin
as blood begins trickling down The Banker’s forehead.
Evan Stockwell (mocking): "You
think you can talk about ruining me, huh? You think you're a threat, Banker? I
am the Financial
Maverick! I run this place, and you... you’re just a liability
I’m about to liquidate!"
Stockwell grabs The Banker by the collar again, slamming his face
into the ground. The Banker is now bleeding profusely, blood staining his
pristine white shirt.
Larry Morton (shouting):
"Stockwell, stop! Enough is enough!"
But Stockwell, laughing arrogantly, crouches beside the fallen
Banker, gripping his bloodied face and sneering into his ear.
Evan Stockwell: "You wanted to make my life
miserable? Well, guess what… you're the one bleeding out on the floor. This is
just the beginning, Banker. You should have stayed out of my business."
Stockwell finally stands, wiping some of The Banker’s blood off
his own knuckles and onto his expensive suit as he smirks. He walks off,
leaving The Banker laying in a pool of blood.
Larry Morton (urgently):
"Somebody get medical assistance! Evan Stockwell has just viciously
assaulted The Banker! I... I don’t know what to say, folks... but this is far
from over between these two!"
The camera zooms in on The Banker, who despite the blood and pain,
slowly begins to stir, his face a crimson mask reflecting both rage and
determination, setting the stage for their inevitable showdown.
Match #3: The Snake Pit vs the Nightstalkers and
Beastfang w/ Count Vlad
The atmosphere grew tense as eerie music filled the arena. The
crowd watched in anticipation as Beastfang and 'Shadowfang' Marcus
Black, accompanied by the sinister Count Vlad, made their way to the
ring. The Dark Dominion’s menacing presence set a dark tone as they approached
the squared circle.
Mike 'the Voice' Johnson: "These guys give me chills
every time they step into the ring. The Dark Dominion is as ruthless as they
come, Johnny."
Johnny 'the Hammer' Harris: "Absolutely, Mike. And don’t
forget Count Vlad—always lurking ringside. You never know what he has up his
sleeve."
Moments later, Leiton, Tobias, and Niven Snake entered the
arena, their cold, calculated demeanor almost daring the Dominion to test their
limits. The tension was palpable. Though both teams were known for bending the
rules, the Snakes faced an even darker, more sinister foe.
Mike 'the Voice' Johnson: "If there’s anyone that can go
toe-to-toe with the Dark Dominion in terms of ruthlessness, it’s the Snake Pit.
But this won’t be just a match—it’s going to be a war."
Johnny 'the Hammer' Harris: "You can cut the tension with a
knife, Mike. This is gonna get ugly fast."
The match kicked off with Leiton Snake squaring off
against 'Shadowfang' Marcus Black. The action was immediate and intense,
with Leiton hitting a Buckle Bomb early on, only for 'Shadowfang' to
respond with a devastating Reaper’s Scythe. 'Shadowfang' went for a
quick pin, but Leiton managed to kick out at the last second, avoiding an early
defeat.
Johnny 'the Hammer' Harris: "I don’t think Leiton Snake
even knows what hit him! 'Shadowfang' Marcus Black is an absolute
machine!"
Mike 'the Voice' Johnson: "That was pure instinct kicking
out. Leiton’s in real trouble here."
Soon after, the match devolved into chaos as Tobias Snake
entered the fray, with the rest of the competitors getting involved. The ring
turned into a battleground as the Snakes hit several brutal double-team moves,
but the Dominion struck back with even more devastating power. Beastfang
executed a jaw-dropping Deadlift German Suplex, while 'Bloodfang'
Viktor Drakov unleashed a thunderous Running Powerslam.
Mike 'the Voice' Johnson: "This isn’t a wrestling match
anymore, Johnny, it’s a fight! Bodies are flying everywhere!"
Johnny 'the Hammer' Harris: "With six of the most dangerous
men in HCW in one ring, no one is safe right now!"
The momentum shifted back and forth as Tobias Snake and 'Shadowfang'
Marcus Black battled it out. 'Shadowfang' hit a crisp Snap Suplex,
while Tobias retaliated with a vicious Lariat. However, just as Tobias
started to take control, Count Vlad made his presence felt, distracting
the referee and allowing 'Shadowfang' to land more underhanded blows.
Mike 'the Voice' Johnson: "There’s Count Vlad again! The
man’s never met a dirty trick he didn’t like."
Johnny 'the Hammer' Harris: "You gotta hand it to the Dark
Dominion—they know how to use every advantage."
The beating continued when Beastfang tagged in, punishing
Tobias with a powerful Transylvania Reverse Spin Scoop Powerslam and
following it up with a breathtaking Gachimuchi-sault Standing Moonsault.
Tobias, on the verge of being overwhelmed, managed to tag in Leiton Snake
just in time.
Mike 'the Voice' Johnson: "Tobias has got to get out of
there! He’s been taking a beating for too long!"
Johnny 'the Hammer' Harris: "Leiton’s back in, but the
momentum is still with Beastfang and the Dark Dominion!"
As the match continued, Leiton Snake tried to gain control,
attempting a Single Underhook Facebuster on Beastfang, but the
powerhouse of the Dominion reversed it. Count Vlad once again intervened,
causing a distraction that left Leiton wide open to Beastfang’s relentless
assault.
Mike 'the Voice' Johnson: "Beastfang is relentless!
Leiton can’t seem to get any momentum going with Vlad constantly
interfering."
The end came when Beastfang hit a crushing Running
Brainbuster on Leiton Snake. This time, Leiton had nothing left in the
tank. The referee counted the pin, and the Dark Dominion secured the victory.
Johnny 'the Hammer' Harris: "It’s over! Beastfang just put
Leiton Snake down for good with that Brainbuster."
Mike 'the Voice' Johnson: "The Dark Dominion has sent a
clear message to the entire HCW roster tonight. When they’re in the ring,
destruction follows."
The Dark Dominion stood victorious, with Count Vlad smugly
watching as the Snake Pit retreated. In the end, the darkness of the Dominion
was too much, even for the vicious Snakes.
Backstage
‘The Commando’
Zack Brown approaches Larry Morton for his interview. Zack says that he still deserves his rematch
but the Rich Athlete keeps ducking him.
He says that he’s going to let the process do its thing but if something
isn’t rectified soon, he will take matters into his own hands.
Elsewhere backstage,
the US Champion the Rich Athlete is with Ruth Heartless. He cuts a promo with lots of Woos and says
that he will never lower himself to wrestle the Commando – a brute who probably
got bounced out of whatever force he was part of. No, the US title will remain with Sophistication
Extraordinaire – HIM.
Match #4: Ethan
& Rafa vs JR Fargo & Alejandro Guerrero

Backstage Segment: The New Sicilians Prepare for Heritage
Title Defense
The camera cuts to the backstage area where Dirty Dick
Albano, Vicious Vinnie Albano, and their manager, Pierre Boulay,
stand confidently in front of the HCW logo. The Undisputed Tag Team
Champions, the New Sicilians, are dressed in their wrestling attire, titles
slung over their shoulders, exuding arrogance. Pierre stands between them,
holding a microphone with a smug look on his face.
Dirty Dick Albano smirks as he begins to
speak.
Dirty Dick Albano: "You know, normally
we don’t give out charity. But tonight... tonight is different. See, after we
decimated those muscle-bound buffoons, the Muscles Duo, in our last title
defense, we felt... a little bad."
Vicious Vinnie Albano chuckles, adjusting
his title belt.
Vicious Vinnie Albano: "Yeah, Dick, we
felt bad because it wasn’t even a challenge. We embarrassed them. Flattened 'em
like a pizza crust!"
Pierre steps forward, grinning as if he’s about to
deliver a sermon.
Pierre Boulay: "Ah, the Muscles Duo...
such heart, such spirit! But heart and spirit don’t win championships, boys.
You see, Dirty Dick and Vicious Vinnie here—they’re not just champions, they're
the best of the best. But because we’re benevolent champions, we thought it
only fair to give you another shot tonight but this time at the Heritage Tag
Team Titles."
Dirty Dick shakes his head mockingly.
Dirty Dick Albano: "We get it. You
guys love being gluttons for punishment. So, we figured... why not? Let’s give
you another chance to get your heads knocked off."
Vicious Vinnie Albano slaps his belt.
Vicious Vinnie Albano: "But this time,
fellas, it’s for the Heritage Tag Titles. You know, maybe that’s a prize more
on your level. Maybe this’ll help you sleep at night after we steamroll you
again."
Pierre nods and raises the microphone, as if wrapping up
their arrogant promo.
Pierre Boulay: "Muscles Duo, you may
have muscles... but the New Sicilians? We have brains, we have skill, and most
importantly—we have the gold. So, bring all the muscles you want, because once
again, the only thing you’ll be taking home tonight is disappointment."
With that, Dirty Dick and Vicious Vinnie laugh, sharing a
knowing glance before walking off screen with Pierre Boulay. The camera lingers
on the confident trio before cutting back to the action in the arena.
Mike 'the Voice' Johnson (voiceover):
"The New Sicilians clearly have no respect for the Muscles Duo, but the
question is, can the Muscles Duo prove them wrong tonight?"
Johnny 'the Hammer' Harris (voiceover):
"This is going to be a battle, Mike. Let’s see if the Muscles Duo can
finally rise to the occasion or if the New Sicilians will walk out with both
sets of tag titles still around their waists!"
We are on to our
Main Event. First, the Muscles Duo –
Weasley and McGuire come out and act all goofy and then head to the ring. They continue the silly antics until the
music changed and out come the UNDISPUTED Tag Team Champions – the New
Sicilians. Dirty Dick, Vicious Vinnie
and Pierre all head to the ring. Pierre
is carrying the portrait of Capt Lou.
They head to the ring and Pierre sets the portrait up at the commentary
desk. Vinnie and Dick show off their
dual sets of titles before handing the Heritage set to the ref and the World
titles to Pierre. The match can finally
begin.
Match #5: The Main Event: The New Sicilians defend the Heritage Tag
Team Titles vs the Muscles Duo
The match started off with intensity as Muscles McGuire and
Muscles Weasley brought the fight to 'Dirty' Dick Albano. Right out of the
gate, the Muscles Duo showed off their impressive double-team tactics, with
McGuire landing a Muscles Crush and Weasley executing a Tornado DDT. Albano
fought back with his trademark dirty tricks, including a thumb to the eye, but
the crowd was solidly behind the fan-favorite Muscles Duo.
In the middle of the match, Albano, with some underhanded
help from his manager Pierre Boulay, tried to turn the tide with a foreign
object. However, McGuire managed to neutralize it, keeping things relatively
clean, but it allowed Albano to stay in the fight. The match continued to swing
back and forth, with double-team maneuvers and reversals thrilling the
audience. Weasley’s Diving Double Foot Stomp and Flying Headscissors kept
Albano on his toes, but the New Sicilian wouldn’t stay down for long, answering
with brutal knee strikes and mounted punches.
As the match drew to a close, the Albano brothers resorted
to their dirtiest tactics. With Vicious Vinnie joining the action, they tossed
McGuire out of the ring. Despite McGuire’s best efforts to re-enter, the
referee’s count reached 10. 'Dirty' Dick Albano, ever the opportunist, picked
up the win via count-out, leaving Muscles McGuire frustrated on the outside.
As the bell rang, signaling the count-out victory for
'Dirty' Dick Albano, the crowd erupted in a chorus of boos. Vicious Vinnie
quickly slid into the ring to join his brother, and both New Sicilians held
their arms high in victory, gloating as they each grabbed one of the HCW World
Tag Team Championship belts from ringside. They weren't done yet, though—their
manager, Pierre Boulay, strutted into the ring, microphone in hand, with a
devilish grin.
“Ladies and gentlemen, what you are witnessing is nothing
short of greatness!” Boulay declared. “The New Sicilians don’t just win
matches—they dominate entire divisions! These two men,” he said,
pointing to the brothers now draped in gold, “are the pinnacle of professional
wrestling, and there isn’t a tag team alive that can take them down!”
The camera zoomed in as both Dirty Dick and Vicious Vinnie
stood tall, holding up not just their HCW World Tag Team Championships, but
also the HCW Heritage Tag Team Titles, which they had defended earlier. Pierre
Boulay continued, “You see those belts? These aren’t just titles—they are monuments
to the dominance of the New Sicilians. Heritage champions, World
champions—no matter where you look, it’s the same story: the New Sicilians rule
the HCW tag team division!”
With the New Sicilians basking in their victory and holding
up both sets of titles, left the ring after the Muscles had departed. They make their way up the ring showing off
their titles once again and then disappear behind the curtain.
Before the show could end, a new wave of boos erupted as the
arena lights dimmed and the ominous theme music of Mr. X blasted through the
speakers.
The merciless heel stormed onto the stage, flipping off the
audience with both hands, drawing even louder jeers. Mr. X sneered, relishing
the hatred, and made his way down the ramp. Fans cursed him, and he fired back
with venom, shouting, "Shut up, you morons! I'm the best thing this
company's ever had, and you can't handle it!"
Johnny 'The Hammer'
Harris was quick to chime in. "Here we go again, Mike. This guy just
oozes disrespect. He's got a real problem with everyone—fans, talent, you name
it."
"I mean, Johnny, Mr. X just can’t help himself. He’s
like a ticking time bomb," Mike
'The Voice' Johnson responded.
Mr. X slid into the ring and demanded a microphone. As soon
as Mr. X got the mic, he unleashed his frustrations, pacing back and forth in
the center of the ring.
"I’m sick of it!" he snarled. "Every damn
week, I’m being booted off shows! The HCW management’s too scared to keep me on
because they know I’m the real deal! I’m not here to entertain you idiots—I'm
here to break people and take what’s mine!”
Johnny ‘the Hammer’
Harris added, “Well, he’s not lying about that, Mike. Mr. X is a dangerous
man, but come on, he brings a lot of this on himself.”
"Yeah, but there’s something to his claim, Johnny. He's
been pushed aside from the title scene for months now," Mike ‘the Voice’ Johnson replied.
Mr. X stopped dead center in the ring and pointed toward the
entrance ramp. "And all your precious HCW champions? They’re all a bunch
of cowards—especially Jack Lumber!" The crowd roared at the mention
of the HCW World Champion’s name, but Mr. X wasn’t finished. "Lumber, I’m
calling you out! Every time I get close to that title, you hide behind some
triple threat, fatal four-way, or whatever management throws in the way! I want
you—one on one! No games, no excuses! You versus me. And no one else to
save your ass!"
Just as Mr. X finished his tirade, Jack Lumber's music
hit the speakers, and the crowd exploded in cheers as the HCW World Champion
marched down the ramp, eyes locked on Mr. X. The tension in the arena was
palpable as Jack rolled into the ring, a microphone already in hand.
"You think I’m dodging you, X?" Jack Lumber said
with a smirk. "I've fought guys tougher than you in matches worse than
anything you've ever seen. You want me one on one? You got it."
"Whoa, Jack Lumber just accepted the challenge!"
Mike shouted, "This is huge!"
But before anyone could process the weight of Jack's
acceptance, Mr. X suddenly lunged forward, throwing the first punch. Jack was
quick to respond, and the two brawled fiercely in the center of the ring,
exchanging brutal blows as the crowd erupted into chaos.
"Here we go, Mike! Jack and X going at it right
now!" Johnny yelled. "This is breaking down fast!"
As fists flew, security guards rushed down the ramp to pull
the two men apart, but neither Jack nor Mr. X showed any sign of backing down.
They shoved security out of the way, trying to get their hands on each other
again.
"This is complete mayhem!" Mike shouted.
"Security can’t even contain these two!"
With security barely managing to separate them, the final
image of the night was Mr. X screaming from the ring, "One on one, Lumber!
You’re mine!" while Jack Lumber stood defiantly on the ramp, his World
Championship over his shoulder, glaring up at his next challenger.
Johnny closed out the show, "We’ve got ourselves a
massive fight brewing here, Mike! The champ versus the most dangerous man in
HCW—one on one! I can’t wait!"
"Neither can I, Johnny. HCW management better get ready
for this one because it’s going to be explosive! Stay tuned, there is a lot more action on the
horizon!"
Once the cameras
stopped rolling, we headed quickly backstage where Larry Morton was trying to
get a word in with Count Vlad. Larry
Morton: Count Vlad! Count Vlad, a word if I may.” Vlad stopped and turned, Beastfang standing
beside him. “What is it Larry?” Larry asked “Count, that video that aired
last week from Dr. Red Fang…he looks nothing like ours. What is that all about? Who is the real Dr. Red Fang?” Vlad looked at Larry “Be cautious you don’t
meddle in matters that are not yours.”
Vlad turned and walked away not bothering to answer further.
What is going
on??? (in the voice of Matt Kennedy Gould from the Joe Schmo Show).
