Hello
fans and welcome to our PPV – Independence Day Beatdown! The fans are literally hanging from the
rafters and it is sold out! We have a
great show for you tonight. 6 (maybe 7)
of our titles are on the line here tonight.
Pyro goes off and as the show gets ready to kick off, Magnum Kone – the
King of Cones – makes his way down to the right to a pop from the crowd. He begins to hand out ice cream to the fans
at ringside. All of a sudden, the lights
go out and when they come back on a few seconds later, Magnum is laid out. There is a person dressed in all black taking
off through the crowd; not bothering to look to check on his handiwork. The man in black disappears. Suits from the back come out to help Magnum
to his feet. He’s a little disoriented
but seems to be ok. The suits try to take
him backstage but he refuses…until he’s given all the ice cream away. It takes a few minutes to clear his cart and
then he accepts the help and makes his way backstage.
Our
first match is ready to go. Heading down
to the ring first is ScooterJ, the Axe and TNT.
They get a good pop from the crowd.
Next, Master Bull comes out (he receives an “assh01e” chant and he looks
perturbed. He introduces the 6 Man tag
team champions Prestige Inc. and out comes Jesse California, Bishop Ripley and
Superstar Chic Monroe. The 30 min time
limit begins and it starts with all 6 men slugging it out in the ring. Finally the ref restores order and it finally
kicks off. The match was practically
even throughout its entirety. The Axe
got a near fall on Jesse after he reversed multiple jumping elbow drops and
cinched on a headlock and dropped right to the mat. Jesse, winded, managed to kick out at 2. Everyone tags in an out and it’s eventually
Axe vs Chic Monroe. Axe caught Chic with
that headlock and went for a pin but Chic kicked out at 2. TNT gets the hot tag and goes to town on his
former teammates. He beatdown on Chic
who had to tag out to get away from the onslaught. Master Bull calls to Jesse and provides some
words of wisdom (and a foreign object) that is used on TNT. Jesse tries for a pin but TNT kicks out at
2. Chic gets tagged in and is
immediately thrown out of the ring. He
makes it back in at 9. After a bit of
back and forth, Chic hurls TNT out of the ring but he’s back in by 6. Jesse is in and hurls TNT back out. TNT makes it back in only for the time limit
to expire. This one ends in a draw but
sees Prestige Inc. retain the belts. (30
min draw); (177 to 166)
We go
backstage to meet up the Fiend who is challenging Dr. Red Fang tonight for the
Hardcore title. The Fiend says this is a
long time coming and he gets Fang one on one…no manager interference. Fang will have no place to run…no place to
hide and tonight, that title switches hands.
Our
next match is for the Hardcore title.
First, the Fiend comes out to music from the Misfits. The fans pop for him as he makes his way down
to the ring. Next, over the loudspeakers
blares “VAMPIRE LUNGES FOR EVERYONE” and the Hardcore Champion Dr. Red Fang
comes out with his manager Ant Graham.
Both men make it to the ring and the Fiend requests a mic. He says that he wants this to be a Tables,
Ladders and Chairs match. The Fiend also
states that if he loses tonight, he’ll quit HCW. Both men fought harder than we can recall
with so much riding on the line. Both
men were even until the Fiend connected with a moonsault through a table. Fang would still fight on but a little more
worse for wear. Fiend nailed the Last
Caress (DDT) but only got a 2 count.
Fang would battle back hitting a Vampire Lunge but wasn’t able to make
the cover. A ladder gets brought out and
Fang tries to suplex the Fiend off of it but Fiend reverses it and bounces
Fang’s head off the ladder and he falls to the mat. We pick up the match at the 13 min mark.

The
Fiend takes a mic and says all his hard work and perseverance has paid
off. Fiend says that he’s done with
Fang. The ref reminds the Fiend that
Fang will be due a rematch. “No, I’ve
spent too much of my career chasing this fool.
He’s attacked me from behind; he’s ducked me refusing to defend this
title. Now, it is my turn to find new
challenges and challengers and move on.
If HCW brass want to have a conversation about this, be my guest but as
far as I’m concerned, I’m done with this fool.”
The Fiend takes his title and leaves. (15 min) (106 to 118)
Backstage
with Larry Morton is Dude USA Mick Rude.
Mick says that tonight, at the nation’s show of shows, he will do the
USA proud when he wins the US title from Rad Gumbo.
Elsewhere
backstage, Clarkus Kentus is with ‘The Ragin Cajun’ Rad Gumbo and his manager
MJ. Rad says that there is no way this
nobody defeats him and he is the one walking out with the title tonight.
Our 3rd
match is ready to go. “Born in the USA”
plays (I sure hope he got permission to use it) and Dude USA Mick Rude comes
out to a pop from the crowd. The music
ends abruptly when “Gumbo 7:30 says it’s suppa time, bitch!” plays over the
loudspeakers and out comes the US champion Rad Gumbo with his manager MJ in tow
carrying the belt for the champ. Rad
enters the ring and hands the title over.
We cut
back to GM Max McGillicutty’s office and he is deciding that he’s going to
grant someone a title shot for the US title after this match is over. He stirs up a bowl and pulls out a name. “Well, I’ll be a monkey’s uncle. I should go
let him know.”
We are
back in the ring just as the action is ready to kick off. Rad begins by just wiping the mat with
Rude. This wasn’t much of a match as it
was Rad showing off his skills and (the lack of) from Rude. Gumbo got cocky and MJ tripped Rude at the
ropes but somehow he fell into Rad and locked in the Surfboard. Gumbo was trapped and MJ couldn’t help. Rad ends up tapping out. Mick Rude has just defeated Rad Gumbo to
become the NEW US CHAMPION!!!! (9
min) His celebration is short lived as
someone is coming out. Wait…its El
Chango! His must have been the name
pulled. I guess he’s cashing in his shot
right here and now (stipulation is that the match time cannot exceed the
original 30 min - so he gets 21
min). This match was almost as one sided
as the last. El Chango took the fight to
Rude and both men ended up on the outside of the ring but always made it back
in. Rude then locked in the Surfboard
thinking he’d win it again but El Chango made it to the ropes to break the
hold. After a few actual wrestling
moves, El Chango jumped to the turnbuckles, climbed to the top and connected
with a moonsault. He made the cover and
got the 1-2-3. El Chango just beat Mick
Rude to win the US Title and become the NEW CHAMPION in 9 minutes. El Chango takes the title, holds it over head
and then leaves. (18 min total)
We
head backstage and Clarkus Kentus is with Figgy Newton and Hoff N Spicy. Davis Hoffmeister says that they are
undefeated as a tag team and tonight, they prove to the world they are the best
around. DJ CJ adds in that no team in
HCW has the record they have and tonight they prove their superiority to the
world. Figgy adds in “and you can take
that to the bank, baby!”
Larry
Morton is backstage with the Tag Team Champs the Steel Curtain. Buzz says that these repackaged losers are
nothing new and think that with a new name, it’s going to bring them luck. Starbuck adds in that they were dangerous
before without a manager and tonight, the Ambassador is in their corner and
they are pretty confident on how things will play out. The Ambassador leans in and says “Word” but
Starbuck and Buzz look at him funny.
The
next match is ready to go and the challengers Davis Hoffmeister and DJ CJ Spice
aka Hoff n Spicy along with their manager ‘Figgy’ Newton make their way to the
ring to a huge pop from the crowd. They
have a solid chance of winning tonight if their luck/skill holds out. Next, the Ambassador comes out and introduces
the Tag Team Champions – the Steel Curtain.
Davis extends his hand to the champs and they ignore him. He shrugs his shoulders. The champs were in control of the match but
just barely. The challengers posed a
real threat and the champs were not as prepared as they should have been. Lots of tags from both teams but Starbuck was
thrown out of the ring 3 consecutive times.
After the last one from DJ CJ, he decided enough was enough and he began
walking away. Buzz and the Ambassador
joined him and the champs end up getting counted out. Unfortunately for Hoff n Spicy, belts don’t
change hands on a count out. They win
the match but not the titles. Davis and
DJ begged for the champs to return but Starbuck and Buzz both flipped them off
and left. 9 ½ min)
Max is
in his office and tries to decide if the men’s or Ladies title goes on last. He flips a coin and the Ladies win. Their match will be last.
Backstage,
‘the Elitist’ Reid Rothchild is trying to talk his wife Ravishing Raquel out of
challenging him for this title. She
doesn’t back down and enters her dressing room closing the door in Reid’s
face. He does not look happy (also,
Master Bull and the rest of Prestige Inc. are banned from ringside).
Backstage,
Larry Morton is with King Wilber Townsend w/ Sonic Blade standing behind
him. Wilber tells us that it’s the end
of the line for Texas Wildfire and once he extinguishes the smoldering embers,
he will add World champion to his resume.
He then starts to laugh but no one joins with him.
Also
backstage, Clarkus Kentus is with the World Champion Texas Wildfire. TW states that Wilber is not to be
underestimated but then neither should he.
TW brings in Drew the Canadian Love Machine and says Drew has agreed to
watch his back in exchange for a future (his entitled rematch) title shot. Drew says that Sonic will be a non-factor and
says TW has nothing to be worried about.
Reid
shows up in Max’s office and begs for the match to be cancelled. Max tells him that he opened the Pandora’s
Box when he put out a contract to ANY HCW superstar. Max questions if Raquel is actually smarter
than Reid but Reid walks off in a huff.
The
next match begins when Ravishing Raquel makes her way down to the ring. She takes a mic and calls her husband
down. Reid comes down (minus Master
Bull) and tries to plead with her to stop this.
She tells Reid he can lay down for her and let her pin him to win the
belt or she does it the old fashioned way and takes it from him. Reid tries to walk off but Raquel dropkicks
him sending him tumbling out of the ring.
She tells him to get in the ring and fight her. He refuses.
She goes after him and slaps him across the face but still nothing. She gets back in the ring and begins to cry. Reid rushes back to her side trying to
console her but she motions to have the bell rung and then attempts a small
package but Reid kicks out instantly.
She begins to push him and he leaves the ring in an attempt to get
counted out. She goes after him and eye
rakes him. She then tosses him back in
the ring. “Fight Me!” she screams at
him. Finally, Reid, out of options, hits
the Rock Bottom. He’s hesitant to go for
a pin but ends up doing so but she kicks out and then kicks him in the
head. Raquel locks him in the Ravishing
Armbar but he makes it to the ropes. He
locks in the Backlund Chickenwing but she makes it to the ropes. Reid goes for the Rothchild Stunner and
connects. He goes for the pin but Raquel
kicks out. Raquel takes Reid out of the
ring and then throws him shoulder first into the steel post. A few choice words not appropriate for our
show came out of his mouth. Raquel takes
him back in the ring and Reid goes for a Stinger Splash but Raquel moves out of
the way and he further injures his shoulder.
She then locks in the Ravishing Chickenwing and takes Reid down to the
mat. She keeps him centered in the ring
and he has nowhere to go. He then tapped
out! HOLY CRAP! Ravishing Raquel just defeated Reid to become
the NEW ELITIST CHAMPION!!! She takes
the belt from the ref, parades around with it for a few moments and then leaves
Reid (flabbergasted) behind. (7 min)
Southern
Belle is backstage and she sees Raquel arrive with her new title. Belle congratulates her and tells her that
more titles will be changing hands tonight.
King
Wilber Townsend w/Sonic Blade makes their way down to the ring. Wilber paces
waiting for the match to begin. Sonic
waits on the outside. Next, World
Champion Texas Wildfire comes out and joining him is Drew the Canadian Love
Machine. They head to the ring and Drew
remains on the outside as TW climbs the turnbuckles showing off his gold. TW controlled the match early on but
interference from Sonic Blade turned the tide to his royalness. Drew didn’t seem to be all that into this
match as he was late in stopping outside interference. 24 minutes in, Wilber removed the covering of
the corner turnbuckle exposing the metal beneath. He then bounced TW’s head off of it and
dropped him with a short arm clothesline.
Wilber went for the cover and put his feet on the ropes to get the
1-2-3. King Wilber has done it and
defeated Texas Wildfire (24 min). Drew
then jumps in the ring saying he wants his rematch right here, right now. Wilber has no choice. Drew goes to town on Wilber who struggled to
stay on his feet. Wilber was able to
deflect some of the offense from Drew but not enough. Wilber then threw Drew into the corner with
the exposed brackets and he stopped short of hitting it. He turned around only to get hit with the Go
to Sleep. Wilber rolled him up and (both
feet on the ropes), he got the 1-2-3.
King Wilber retains the World Title.
He exits the ring before anyone else can jump in. (4 min).
Drew is pissed off and takes off after him.
Max
makes his way out and thanks the fans for attending. He says this has been a great show and will
cap off the evening with the Ladies title match. Max tells us he’s just secured a new location
that will share the duties with Phoenix as a co-location for HCW shows and that
will be in Tacoma, WA. He expects all
the paperwork to be signed off on in the next month or so. He adds on that a brand split similar to how
HWF and CSWA were is not off the table.
The Omegatron above him starts to crackle and a video airs. It’s some guy we’ve never seen before. He begins…
PRESS
RELEASE TO HCW
“The
Honorable J C Dykes would like to announce that his greatest champion has come
out of retirement to prove his SUPERIOR abilities to the lowly HCW owners and
fans. His self-induced retirement came about because of lack of genuine
competition around the world. The UNKNOWN ASSASSIN has arrived and will take on
all comers, from the lowest ringboy to whomever would call themselves the World
Champion. I, the Honorable J C Dykes, have managed World Champions in Singles
and Tag-Teams, but this is my greatest wrestler of all time. He will go through
your roster with the speed of a home-made laxative for my dairy cows back in
Tennessee. So, when we arrive, we expect to receive the proper respect worthy
of the greatest Champion ever seen. We expect extra security at every arena and
TV studios to keep the riff-raff away from my Champion. Thank you----this has
been the Honorable J C Dykes informing you of what you need to know.”
Max
looks puzzled like he wasn’t expecting this so he quickly hurried back to his
office.
It’s
time for the MAIN EVENT! Southern Belle
comes out first and gets a big pop from the crowd. She rushes to the ring, slides under the
bottom rope and then raises her arms as she stands on each corner’s
turnbuckles. Once she’s done, music
changes and out comes the Ladies Champion El Gato Negro. El Gato also gets a warm reception from the
crowd and she leans over each top rope holding her title high. She meets Southern Belle in the middle of the
ring and holds the title in her face.
Belle looks on patiently. The ref
sends them to opposite corners and then has the bell rung. The two go toe to toe slugging it out and El
Gato locks in the Wall-O-Cato but Belle manages to make it to the ropes to
break the hold. Belle caught the champ
with a well-placed dropkick. El Gato hit
a Gato leap and Belle hit a flying bodypress.
El Gato hit the Gato Paw and then tossed Belle out of the ring. Just as Belle was trying to get back in the
ring, someone reached out from under the ring and dragged Belle under. The ref looked around for her but didn’t see
her so he began his count. Belle finally
clawed her way out from under the ring only to miss getting back in the ring
before the 10 count was reached.
Southern Belle is counted out and the match is awarded to El Gato. (5 ½ min)
Before she could celebrate, Max came back out and said that this is not
the way for a champion to win so he is calling for the match to be restarted
but only with a 24 min time limit. Belle
got back in and went on the offensive but was nullified by the champ. The two slugged it out again. El Gato went for the Gato Paw but Belle
reversed it and hit a victory roll and with a hook of the leg (and a handful of
tights), she got the 1-2-3. Southern
Belle gets the win but before the ref could raise her arm, Max came back out
again and said that Belle cheated and that is not how things are done here so
he’s making this a best of 3 falls, time limit remaining. The two put on a show that had the fans on
their feet the entire time. It couldn’t
have been any closer. With the time
limit getting ready to expire, Belle offered her hand in friendship but her
intent was to kick El Gato below the belt but El Gato saw it coming and
nullified it. The bell then rang
bringing this one to an end. Max came
back out and said that Belle was the last to score a pin or submission so the
belt should go to her however, El Gato is the reigning champ and in these
circumstances, the champ would retain.
He taps his finger on his chin as he contemplates his decision. He finally decides…to hold up the belt and
next show these two will have another chance to fight it out. Everyone looked disappointed and it was
probably the first time the fans wanted to take Max out back and beat the tar
out of him. The show comes to an end.
Thanks
for reading. It looks like new things
are happening so stay tuned.
