HCW Wrestling Newsletter 2017 #597

Hello fans and welcome back to our newsletter.  Well, it seems that both the card for our Supershow on 8/20 and then our PPV ‘Reign of Champions’ a week later are starting to take shape.  We’re confident that before the week is out, we should have the card almost 100% ironed out. 

The show begins backstage with Drew the Canadian Love Machine approaching Sonic Blade.  Drew tells Sonic that as a former World Champion, it should be he challenging Wilber for the World title at the PPV as his track record speaks for itself.  However, he’s not the top contender so tonight, he is challenging Sonic to a match for that spot at the PPV.  Sonic says Drew had his time in the spotlight now it’s time for him to step aside and let someone else enjoy it.  Drew says that their match later tonight will prove who the better man is.  He walks off.

We go to the ring for our first match which will be a mixed 6 person tag team match.  Figaroa ‘Figgy’ Newton comes out and introduces his team – Hoff n Spicy (Davis Hoffmeister and DJ CJ Spice) along with Taylor Bella.  They all head down to the ring to a pop from the crowd.   Next, their opponents come out.  It is Adam Jameson, Billy Robbins and Scarlett Phoenix.  Taylor started out against Scarlett but it didn’t take long for Davis and CJ to join the fray.  Figgy had his team working as a well-oiled machine.  At the 16 minute mark, Taylor made the hot tag to DJ CJ and Scarlett made the tag to Adam.  Adam hit the ropes but DJ CJ caught him in a handstand headlock.  He quickly turned it into a pin and with a hook of the leg, got the 1-2-3.  Figgy’s team gets the win and continues their winning ways.  After the match, all 6 people shook hands in the ring much to the delight of the fans.

Texas Wildfire wants another match against the Hollywood Star.  After some pressure from GM Max McGillicutty, Star reluctantly agrees.

Next on the card is a rematch between Texas Wildfire and the Hollywood Star.  TW came out first to a huge pop from the crowd followed by the Hollywood Star who got a mixed reaction.  This match went pretty much the same way their last encounter went with TW controlling the majority of the match.  Once again, Star tried to get TW counted out but this time it didn’t work.  TW kept the match pretty much on the mat until he decided to risk a move.  He went to the top rope but Star knocked him down and he hung upside down after his leg got caught in the ropes.  Hollywood pulled him back up and attempted another senton but TW reversed it and nailed a beautifully executed superplex from the top rope.  He made the cover and got the 1-2-3.  Texas Wildfire gets the win and walks around the ring trying to get the blood flowing to his leg again.  Both men eventually leave.  (19 min)

We cut back to Max’s office and he has both the Muscles Trio and 5^th Column in there.  Max says that the Column keep using a countout to get their win but if that rule is cancelled, the Trio reign supreme.  Max says that starting with their 5^th encounter tonight and moving forward, the countout rule is being thrown out and all will be no CO matches.  The Column protest but Max ends up kicking everyone out of his office.

We go back to the ring for more action.  Smasher #2 comes out for some singles action.  Next, his opponent the Crocodile Hunter comes out to a huge pop from the crowd.  Smasher #2 goes right on the attack but Croc was expecting it.  Croc was controlling the entire match until in from the crowd came Angry Jack Lawson.  Croc got tossed out of the ring and Smasher #2 distracted the ref while Jack nailed Croc with an angry chokeslam.  Jack then left yelling “that’s what you get for sticking your nose in MY business” and the ref started the count and reached 10 counting Crocodile Hunter down and out and awards the match to Smasher #2.  Smasher laughs at Croc and then leaves.  (12 min)

Backstage, World Champion King Wilber says that neither Drew nor Sonic are worthy adversaries and tonight, he takes on one he considers at the top of his game – Ice Dagger.  He then laughs saying that he really isn’t all that good and tonight’s win will be an easy one.

It’s time for the #5 match between the Muscles Trio and the 5^th Column.  Both teams eventually made it to the ring and they wasted no time getting this one started.  The Column had a lot to prove in this match (that they can win without it being a countout victory) and they were the more aggressive and it paid off for them,  Both teams triple teamed the other a few times in the match but it was the Column who did the most damage.  At the 16 minute mark, Baron von Blood caught Muscles McGuire with a Nuremburg backbreaker and after Oswald and Karl knocked Thorpe and Weasley off the mat, Baron hooked the leg (and the tights for leverage) and got the 1-2-3.  The 5^th Column get the win and now are only one win away from getting a shot at the 6 man titles. 

Ice Dagger is backstage and says that King Wilber is so focused on the fight between Sonic Blade and Drew that he is totally overlooking him and that will be his downfall.

In a different area backstage, manager ‘Honorable’ J C Dykes and the Unknown Assassin stand staring at the camera surrounded by their escort.

Dykes:  "It’s time we get a title shot! I have wrestling companies begging for my champ's presence. You decide the belt. Just pick one. At this time I will reveal more of the deadly skills my Champ has. Show them Assassin!" (Assassin comes forward and karate chops 3 1 inch boards, followed by 3 rows of cinder blocks, followed by 12" ice block.)

Dykes: "He's more deadly and dangerous than the worst tornado ever to hit the state of Texas. I had cows end up in 4 different counties and started giving chocolate milk. My man is barred in 13 countries because of his killer expertise. Shaq O'Neal wants him as a bodyguard. I would say you better follow my demands or ELSE!!" J C Stomps off with the Unknown Assassin in tow along with their police escort.

Drew the Canadian Love Machine comes out first to a huge pop from the crowd.  Next, Sonic Blade comes out to an equally loud pop.  Sonic enters the ring and he and Drew go nose to nose but shake hands before the bell rings.  The match doesn’t even get started before King Wilber makes his way out.  Wilber attempts to trip Sonic but gets caught by the ref and is thrown out from ringside.  Drew begins a comeback but tosses Sonic to the ropes who hits him with a Brazilian Press.  Drew tried to roll through it but Sonic kept the momentum going and rolled it back into a pin and got the 1-2-3.  Sonic Blade gets the win and keeps his spot at the PPV.  Drew was upset but eventually shook Sonic’s hand much to the delight of the fans.  (7 min)

GM Max McGillicutty is backstage with Master Bull and they are working on the plans for the split that will be taking place after the PPV.  Max and Bull seem to be satisfied with the way things are working out. 

We go back to the ring for the next match.  Sarona Reiher makes her way out to the ring first and is mostly booed.  Next, former Ladies Champion Starr Vixen comes out to a pretty huge pop which surprises even her.  She gets in the ring and climbs 2 of the turnbuckles before Sarona asks if they’re going to wrestle or get cheap pops from the crowd.  Starr had the match pretty much locked up until the final minute of the match:

===== In the 14th minute of the match: =====

Starr Vixen (f) rolled DC

Sarona Reiher (f) rolled OC.

Sarona Reiher (f) executes a SUPERFLY SPLASH....

Starr Vixen (f) reverses the SUPERFLY SPLASH!

Starr Vixen (f) executes a FLYING FIVEARM…

Sarona Reiher (f) reverses the FLYING FIVEARM!

Sarona Reiher (f) executes a SUPERKICK....

Starr Vixen (f) attempts to defend against SUPERKICK but is unsuccessful.

Sarona Reiher (f) is attempting a pin (and hooks the tights blatantly)!!!

1...2...3

Starr Vixen (f) was pinned by Sarona Reiher (f)!!!

Sarona Reiher (f) wins with a SUPERKICK over Starr Vixen (f)!!!

Sarona steals a win over Starr and she proudly flaunts it.  Starr then hits her with a flying dropkick that sends her flying out of the ring over the top rope.  The fans pop for Starr while Sarona makes her way grumbling to the back.  Starr leaves moments later.

A montage airs highlighting King Wilber’s history in HCW.  It shows him defeating (then King) CJ to claim the title of “King” and shortly after that, his winning the World title.  At the end, Wilber basically threatens the entire roster saying that they’d best get used to what they’re seeing as he’s not going anywhere and his title is staying put.

It’s time for the main event.  The music “Ice Dagger Baby” plays and Ice Dagger comes out to a mixed reaction from the crowd.  His music is abruptly cut off and King Wilber Townsend comes out on his throne carried by his lackeys.  Wilber holds the World title high as he’s brought to the ring.  He steps off his throne and into the ring as the fans boo him.  Wilber laughs at them and calls the fans sheep for following blindly.  He is the one true person who can save them all.  This one was really no contest as Wilber wiped the map with ID.  Wilber hit a lifting sideslam right off the bat and almost got a 3 right then and there.  Dagger got in a few good shots but nothing that did much damage.  Wilber connecting with a running senton that pretty much folded Dagger up into a neat little package.  He made the cover and got the 1-2-3.  King Wilber is victorious in his title defense.  (7 min).  Then, Sonic Blade came out and rushed to the ring where he and Wilber traded blows with neither getting the upper hand.  Sonic whipped Wilber into the ropes and hit the Alhambra Attack.  Wilber then hit him with a low blow and followed it up with the Go To Sleep.  Wilber stood over Sonic and put his foot on Sonic’s chest and held the title high and laughing as the show came to an end.

Thanks for reading.  Stay tuned as things are really heating up.

HCW Wrestling Newsletter 2017 #596

Hello fans and welcome back to our newsletter.  For now, it seems like we’re back on track so without further ado, let’s get this party started.

Pyro goes off as we get ready for our first match.  First, Figgy Newton comes out and introduces ‘the sensation that is sweeping the nation’ – Hoff n Spicy.  Davis Hoffmeister and DJ CJ Spice come out to a huge pop from the crowd.  Figgy tells us they are challenging the Huber Clan for their spot in the Tag Team line up.  Hoff n Spicy make their way down and high-five the fans as they get in the ring and do a little showboating to get the fans engaged.  Next, Ferb and Butch Huber come out and the fans boo them.  They don’t care.  Ferb gets on the mic before entering the ring and says they will be the first team in HCW history to give Hoff n Spicy their first ever loss.  They laugh as they get in the ring.  The Huber’s appeared to be living up to their claim by beating down and almost beating DJ CJ on a few occasions but once he made the hot tag to Davis, things turned around.  Davis beat the Clan silly for almost 10 minutes until DJ CJ was recovered enough to re-enter the ring.  CJ then took the Clan to town but they began battling back.  As we started to get close to the 30 minute time limit, Davis gets tagged back in but falls victim to double teaming.  Davis manages to reverse a spinning side slam and then locks Ferb in the Hollywood (camel) Clutch.  He cinched it in but Ferb wouldn’t tap.  In the final seconds, Davis reared back even more but Ferb still wouldn’t tap.  The bell rang about one second before Ferb would have tapped but this one ends in a draw.  Hoff n Spicy look to be ready for their inevitable showdown with the Tag Team Champs - the Steel Curtain.

The Duchess is backstage and she’s complaining she hasn’t seen in-ring action in some time.  GM Max McGillicutty tells her that she missed the memo from today and her match is up next.  He suggests she head to the ring now.

The Duchess makes her way out for the next match on the card.  Once in the ring, her opponent Madame Jade comes out to a pop from the crowd.  Jade gets in the ring and the Duchess wastes no time and starts this off with a bang.  However, the bang backfired when Jade caught her with a springboard dropkick practically taking all the wind out of her sails.  Jade controlled the entire match until she tossed Jade out of the ring.  She then went on to distract the ref.  This gave Court member Lady Hermann time to come in from the crowd and chokeslam Jade right on the hard floor taking her breath away.   Lady Hermann then took off through the crowd.  The ref didn’t see anything and he began to count.  He reached 10 and Jade was in no shape to return to the ring.  The ref then awarded the match to the Duchess via countout.  The Duchess paraded around the ring for a moment before leaving.  2 shirts from the back came out to help Madame Jade to the back.  (8 ½ min)

Backstage, the Ryzing Storm (Travis and Terra Ryzing) say that they finally get a shot at the tag team titles.  Travis says that the Steel Curtain have gone on for too long and it will be up to them to shut the champs’ mouths and take their belts.

We’re on to our #4 match between the 5^th Column and the Muscles Trio.  It seems that when the countout rule is in effect, the Column seem to take advantage of it.  However, when it’s a no CO match, the Trio does much better.  Max decrees that tonight’s match will in fact be no countout.  The Muscles Trio (McGuire, Thorpe and Weasley) come out first.  They are serious and there is no goofing around.  Next, the 5^th Column (Baron von Blood, Oswald Zimmerman, & Karl Braun) come out and they each flash 3 fingers supposedly stating tonight will be their third win.  For 13 minutes, the Trio had a slight advantage but it wasn’t until they triple teamed the Column that they took off.  At one point, the Column tried to get counted out but it didn’t work.  After triple teaming Karl, Muscles Thorpe caught him with an overhead suplex and he immediately rolled him up for the 3 count.  The Muscles Trio have just tied the series up 2:2.  They celebrate in the ring as the Column makes their way to the back.  (22 min)

Dr. Red Fang’s manager Ant Graham reviews the segment from last show that had Max telling the Fiend something about “neutering a vampire” and says that Max is up to no good and has it in for the Dr.  Graham says he’ll sue if he so much gets wind that Max is setting his guy up for a fall.

It’s back to the ring for more action.  Already in the ring is ‘Mountain Man’ Junior Huber.  His opponent Ivan Dragovich comes out to booing from the crowd.  Ivan dominated the match but it took him almost the entire match to secure the win.  At the 18 minute mark, Ivan locked Junior in the Accolade but the Mountain Man wouldn’t tap out.  Fearing time was running out, Ivan quickly dropped him and rolled him up to get the 1-2-3.  Ivan Dragovich gets the uncontested win.  (18 min)

The Tag Team Champion the Steel Curtain are backstage and they laugh at the thought where the Ryzing Storm thinks they can be considered any viable threat.  The Ambassador steps forward saying that “These guys are the future of the sport and NO one, not some petering storm or converted cowboy and his disc jockey friend are going to be any threat to the champs.  Buzz and Starbuck lean in and collective say “Word”.

The Hollywood Star makes his way out to a mixed reaction from the fans.  Next, Texas Wildfire comes out and gets the second loudest pop of the night.   The Star didn’t care for that and attacked TW before he entered the ring.  Wildfire quickly battled back and owned the match.  Fearing of getting his ass beat any more, Star dragged TW out of the ring hitting a DDT on the floor.  He then rolled into the ring to break the count and then back out again.  He picked up TW and set him up on a table.  He then went back into the ring, climbed to the top turnbuckle and then hit a falling star senton to the floor on TW and both went through the table.  HOLY SH*T chants rang out.  Star managed to get to his feet and make it to the ring.  He then slid right in beating the 10 count.  The ref then awarded the match via countout to the Hollywood Star.  He left the ring and limped to the back while a few refs came out to help TW.  Once he shook it off and showed the fans he was ok, they popped even louder than before.  (9 ½ min)

GM Max McGillicutty comes out and says that on 8/20, HCW will be hosting a SUPERSHOW which is honoring the 600^th edition of the wresting newsletter.  Then on 8/27, HCW will be having it’s Reign of Champions PPV.  He encourages everyone to get their tickets now or order the event live on PPV.

It’s time for our main event.  Just before things could kick off, Davis Hoffmeister and DJ CJ Spice came out and went to sit at commentary.  Then the Ryzing Storm (Travis and Terra Ryzing) came out and were booed.  Next, the tag team champs the Steel Curtain (Buzz and Starbuck Steel) came out with their manager the Ambassador and they too were booed.  Buzz and Starbuck flipped off the fans as they made their way down to the ring.  Seeing that Hoff n Spicy were sitting at commentary didn’t sit well with the champs and they tried to argue with the ref who told them to just get over it and get the match started.

Buzz and Starbuck retain their titles but Hoffmeister and DJ CJ were complaining to the ref that Starbuck used an illegal object.  Starbuck discarded it before the ref could find it and the Curtain played coy.   Hoff went around the ring and found the object but before he could show it to the ref, Starbuck lauched himself over the top rope and onto Hoffmeister taking him down.  DJ CJ tackled Buzz in the ring but ended up eating the Buzz Cut.  Buzz goes out to help Starbuck up and hands him his title and the two (with the Ambassador) make their way up the ramp as the show comes to an end.

Thanks for reading.  Lots more to come.  Stay tuned.

HCW Wrestling Newsletter 2017 #595 (08/02)

Hello fans and welcome back to our newsletter.  A fan had inquired “Was there a bloody match that network sponsors required you to edit from the program, causing the extra delay?”  To that, we respond with no.  The process of shifting operations to Tacoma, WA has hit a few speed bumps and that is why the posting of our shows has been a little off.  GM Max McGillicutty commented on reporter abuse though saying that reporters are not wrestlers and moving forward, any wrestler, manager or HCW talent who aggressively puts their hands on a reporter will see their careers cut short.  “This isn’t Fox where some congressman attacks a reporter…this is PROFESSIONAL wrestling with the emphasis on Professional.  Do your job, be a professional or get the hell out!”

We will strive to bring you the action in a timely manner but please bear with us if we’re late in our postings.

Our show kicks off with our Ladies in action.  Madame Jade comes out first to a mixed reaction from the crowd.  Next, fan favorite and former Ladies Champion El Gato Negro comes out to a huge pop from the crowd.  This one only went 4 ½ minutes because Jade was tossed out of the ring and she landed awkwardly on her ankle.  She wasn’t able to make it back in.  El Gato gets the win.  Afterwards, she went out to check on Jade.  After ensuring she would be ok, El Gato extended her hand to Jade who shook it gladly.  After Jade left, El Gato addressed the fans saying that after the PPV, she will be taking time off to heal some nagging injuries.

Hardcore Champion the Fiend walks into GM Max McGillicutty’s office and says he’s fed up with Dr. Red Fang and wants him gone.  Max says the only way to do that is to give him his rematch.  Fiend says his career is not worth Fang’s.  Max tells him there’s always one way to neuter a vampire.  He leans over and whispers something to the Fiend.

We head to the ring for some tag team action.  First, two members of the Huber Clan – Ferb and Butch – make their way down to booing from the fans.  Next, Figgy Newton comes out and introduces everyone’s favorite duo – Hoff n Spicy – Davis Hoffmeister and DJ CJ Spice.  HnS make their way to the ring to a huge pop from the crowd.  Davis walks by a fan wearing a mask who doesn’t return the high five as he makes his way to the ring (ah well, you can’t have every fan like you).  Davis and DJ CJ controlled the match until a mistimed intervention from Figgy almost gave them their first loss.  The duo quickly got back into their groove and continued to hand it to the Clan members.  Just before Hoff was going to hit a piledriver, the Tag Team Champions Buzz and Starbuck Steel ran out and attacked Hoff n Spicy causing a disqualification on the Huber’s part.  Buzz and Starbuck beat down Hoff n Spicy but Davis hits Buzz with a monkey flip sending him flying over the top rope.  DJ CJ hits Starbuck with a flying dropkick that also sends him flying.  Hoff n Spicy are joined by Figgy in the ring and they stand tall as the Curtain backs off muttering and cursing at them.  (20 ½ min for the match; 5 extra for the aftermath)

We go backstage where Magnum Kone, once again bloodied, is being helped up.  He says that it was Covfefe who attacked him and tonight, he’s going to end it.

Music plays (“Ice Dagger, Baby) and Ice Dagger makes his way out to booing from the fans.  Next, we hear “Gumbo 7:30 says it Suppa Time, Bitch!” and out comes the Ragin Cajun Rad Gumbo accompanied by his manager MJ.  Ice Dagger attacks Rad as he enters the ring and this one starts off right away.  Dagger was killing it in the ring but Rad began a comeback with the assistance from MJ.  It didn’t go too long as Covfefe ran out like he was being chased and hit the ring.  Gumbo tried to stand in his way but ended up getting hit by a tackle and that caused this one to end in a DQ also.  The lights went out for a few seconds but when they came back on, Magnum Kone was at the ring and Covfefe was taking off through the crowd.  Magnum apologized to Rad for the interference.  Magnum then took a mic and challenged Covfefe to a match at the Supershow.  Magnum tells GM Max McGillicutty to make sure it happens.

The Honorable J C Dykes and the Unknown Assassin pull up in a limo outside.  Security is lined up.  Dykes tells security that they better make sure there is no interference in the Unknown Assassin’s match or they will end up feeling the wrath of UA.

We head back to the ring for the #3 match between the 5^th Column and the Muscles Trio.  The series is tied at 1:1.  The Column make their way out first and are booed pretty heavily.  Next, the Muscles Trio make their way down but they are not wearing their rainbow colored bull horns.  I guess they expect this match to mean business.  The Column wasted no time in going on the offensive.  Only 3 minutes in, the fight spilled to the outside of the ring.  Karl set up a table while Oswald and Baron fought off Weasley and Thorpe.  Karl then hit a low blow on McGuire and then nailed him with a Blitzkreig stunner right through the table.  Karl, the legal man, rolled back in and sat in the corner.  The ref ended up counting to 10 and counted McGuire down and out.  Karl steals the CO win for his team and that puts them at 2:1 in the best of 7 series.  Thorpe and Weasley tended to McGuire as the 5^th Column walked up the ramp laughing.

US Champion El Chango is in the house and he says that tonight, he is defending his title.  He knows he’ll be in for a tough match against Angry Jack Lawson but he’s confident he will retain.

Tobias Snake makes his way out to the ring for singles action.  Once in the ring, security comes down lining the ramp.  The Honorable J C Dykes comes out and introduces (in his words) the greatest champion to ever live – the Unknown Assassin.  The two of them walk down to the ring as debris pelt them.  Dykes grabs a mic and tells the fans to “settle down you trailer park trash or we’re out of here”.  The fans continue and Dykes tells UA to just leave but all of a sudden, Dude USA Mick Rude shows up on the ramp and prevents UA and Dykes from leaving.  They turn around and head back to the ring.  Tobias took advantage of the distraction that Rude was using against the Unknown Assassin and began to dominate the match.  UA would battle back but Mick Rude would run down to the ring to inform the ref about illegal conduct.  The Unknown Assassin was pushed back by the ref after illegally choking Tobias in the corner. Dykes used that time to nail Tobias in the head with his loaded canteen.  Mick Rude ran over as UA was making the cover but Dykes grabbed Rude’s leg preventing him from getting to the ring (and sacrificing himself in the process).  The ref counted to 3 just as Rude was asking the crowd if they wanted him to pop Dykes right in the mouth.  Dykes squirmed and pleaded just long enough for the Unknown Assassin to come to his aid and take down Rude.  UA hit Rude with multiple knee strikes blooding him up.  Dykes then grabbed UA’s arm and they left as security surrounded them (like a bubble) and got them to the back.  (11 min for the match; 5 for the aftermath)

Angry Jack Lawson is stopped on his way to the ring and he is asked if he is done with Outback Oscar and he says that he’ll be done with him when he’s good and ready.  Jack then storms off heading to the ring

It’s time for our Main Event.  First, the challenger Angry Jack Lawson heads down to the ring.  Just as he enters, he looks at ringside and sees Outback Oscar and the Crocodile Hunter sitting there in the front row.  Jack becomes infuriated.  The US Champion El Chango makes his way out to a pop from the crowd.  He heads down to the ring and upon entering the ring, nods his head in acknowledgement to Oscar and Croc.  He enters the ring only to have Jack immediately attack him.  El Chango sends Jack right out of the ring and Jack slams him hands repeatedly on the ring apron before re-entering.  Jack then rams El Chango right into the ringpost.  The champ shakes it off and keeps Jack on the defensive for the next few minutes.  Jack is then hurled out of the ring by El Chango and he lands right in front of Oscar and Croc.  Oscar throws his drink into Jack’s face (he was trying to help revive him – that’s his story) and Jack’s eyes go all wide and Oscar and Croc take off through the crowd with Jack chasing after them.  Jack ends up getting counted out and El Chango retains his title.   He celebrates with the fans as the show comes to an end.

Thanks for reading.  Stay tuned for more action.

HCW Wrestling Newsletter 2017 #594 (07/30)

Hello fans and welcome back to our newsletter.  We start off with the news that GM Max McGillicutty and newly promoted (to) GM Master Bull have collaborated and come up with names for the respective shows they are going to manage.  Max says that his show in Washington he will manage will be called “Tacaoma Thunder” and Bull will manage “Phoenix Heat”. 

The show kicks off with a ladies match.  Sarona Reiher comes out first to a mixed reaction from the crowd.  Next, Jazz Emmett comes out and she receives much of the same.  Sarona had control for the majority of the match but only barely.  Jazz stayed with her till the end.  The match ends up hitting the 20 minute mark bringing this one to a time limit draw.  Both ladies left without any other incidents.

Covfefe is backstage.  ‘The Ragin Cajun’ Rad Gumbo sneaks up behind him and yanks off his mask.  Covfefe takes off like a scalded dog.  Rad, frustrated, throws the mask on the floor.

We head back to the ring for a challenge for a championship spot.  First, Drew the Canadian Love Machine comes out to a HUGE pop from the crowd.  Drew is challenging Superstar Chic Monroe for his spot in the World title lineup.  Chic comes out next and the crowd boos him.  I think this crowd is biased towards the CLM.  Drew and Chic went toe to toe for 6 minutes but after getting a near fall from hitting the Lover Bomb, Drew took off like crazy.  Drew keeps the offense going and nails a corkscrew pescado for another near fall.  Drew then bodyslams Chic and before the Superstar knew what was happening, Drew had rolled him up for the 1-2-3.  Drew wins the match much to the fans delight and is once again back in the World title hunt.  (13 min)

There is a confrontation backstage between the Muscles Trio and the 5^th Column.  Baron von Blood taunts Muscles Thorpe with the fact that the Column is standing one step closer to regaining the 6 man titles.  Muscles McGuire steps in between them and says the only reason the Column has a win was they used a count out to their favor.  If they really want to see who the better team is, they should make this a no countout match.  Karl Braun agrees and says it will go to reflect the dominance their team brings.

We go back to the ring for our next match.  First, Pete (the former PUN-isher) Punsher comes out to little reaction from the crowd.  Ever since he gave up the puns, the fans have been pretty “meh” over him.   Next, 1/3 of the 6 Man champs comes out and it’s the Axe!  The fans pop for him and that just causes Pete to fume in the ring.  Pete tries to attack Axe before the bell but Axe just sends him over the top rope to the floor.  He laughs causing Pete to become even more irate.  Unfortunately for Pete, this was not his night. The Axe was all over him owning the entire match (scored 166 to 77).  Axe brought this to a close after he nailed Pete with a power punch and getting the pin at the 18 minute mark.  Pete rolls out of the ring and leaves as Axe celebrates in the ring before departing.

Angry Jack Lawson is backstage being interviewed and he is asked if the second match between him and Outback Oscar is going to be another quickie and chuckles. Jack looks at him and asks if he knows what it’s like lying on a slab in a morgue.  The reporter gulps and says no.  Jack says he best shut his trap unless he wants to find out.  He says the match between him and Oscar was a fluke and he’ll prove it tonight.  Jack shoves the reporter as he storms off.

Next up is match #2 in the Best of 5 between the Muscles Trio and the 5^th Column. The Column are up by 1.  The Muscles Trio (McGuire, Thorpe and Weasley) come out first dressed in flashy attire and wearing their rainbow colored bull horns.  The fans (and kids) pop as they make their way down to the ring. The setting becomes more somber and the 5^th Column (Baron von Blood, Oswald Zimmerman and Karl Braun) make their way down and mock the fans as they enter the ring.  This time, the Muscles Trio had the Column’s number and the Column (after the first few minutes of the match) had trouble keeping it together.  The Trio triple teamed their opponents multiple times.  Karl Braun and Oswald Zimmerman tried to walk off and get counted out but the ref told them to get back in the ring.  While that was going on, Muscles McGuire hits Baron von Blood with a Pendulum backbreaker and with no one to make the save, he scored the pin.  The Muscles Trio tie this one up 1 to 1.  (17 min)

Backstage, Ladies Champion Southern Belle is approached by Lexy Flexx.  Lexy introduces herself as the #1 contender and tonight, she goes from being a contender to the champion.  Belle tells her that words are useless unless backed up by something else and by looking at Lexy, she has nothing to back those words up.  Lexy slaps Belle and the two begin to scuffle until Max and security intervene.  Max tells Belle that he is giving their match a 30 minute time limit and making it a no DQ/CO match. Lexy smiles before walking off.

We go back to the ring for the next match.  Angry Jack Lawson storms out to the ring amidst the booing from the fans.  He paces in the ring as he waits for his opponent.  Outback Oscar comes out next and the fans pop huge for him.  He hi-fives with the fans as he makes his way down.  Jack doesn’t want to wait and rushes out to attack him.  The two brawl briefly before taking in into the ring.  Oscar was in control of the match for the most part until Jack hit him with a low blow that the ref didn’t see.  After that, Jack hit Oscar with practically everything but the kitchen sink.  Oscar began mounting a comeback and tried to lock in the Outback stretch but Jack powered out of it and then grabbed Oscar by the throat and hit a huge Angry Chokeslam.  Jack folded Oscar up like an accordion and got the 1-2-3.  Jack stands up and screams in victory.  Oscar recovered slowly and got to his feet.  He then mustered up some intestinal fortitude and hit Jack from behind with a dropkick that sent the angry one flying over the top rope.  Jack slammed his hands repeatedly on the mat but Oscar celebrated in the ring even though he lost.  (17 min)

‘The Ragin Cajun’ Rad Gumbo and his manager MJ are backstage watching the action on the big screen when Covfeve rushes in and attacks Rad.  MJ tried to help but ended up eating a big foot to his face.  Covfefe then picked up Rad and powerbombed him through the snacks table.  Security ran in but they were too late as Covfefe ran off.

It’s time for the main event.  First, the challenger Lexy Flexx makes her way down to the ring to a mixed reaction from the crowd.  Next, the Ladies Champion Southern Belle makes her way down and the fans pop huge for her.   Belle gets into Lexy’s face and holds the title inches away taunting her opponent.  Belle schooled her opponent teaching Lexy a thing or two.  Belle however, didn’t try to go for the pin or submission very often as she was forcing for Lexy to beat her.  Try as she might though, Lexy wasn’t able to keep offense going and it was all Belle.   Lexy finally got something going in the final moments of the match.  She hit the ropes and caught Belle with a front missile dropkick but had nothing in the tank to try to make a pin.  The bell rang bringing this one to a 20 minute draw.  Belle was handed back her title and celebrated her retaining the belt with the fans as the show comes to an end.

Thanks for reading.  Stay tuned for more.

Hello fans and welcome back to our newsletter.  The show begins with the camera in the back watching a limo pull up.  Manager J C Dykes gets out first as security lines up protecting the way in from passersby.  The Unknown Assassin gets out, looks around and looks disgusted before entering the building.  The approach the match layout board and they notice that Unknown Assassin is not the main event.  Dykes storms into GM Max McGillicutty’s office demanding to know why his man is not in the main event.  Max laughs at him saying that once UA picks up a belt, MAYBE then he can be the main event.  Dykes says that once UA is done with Mick Rude, they are putting all champions on notice and UA will plow throw them one by one.  Dykes and the Unknown Assassin storm out of Max’s office.

Pyro goes off and our first match is ready to get underway.  Lexy Flexx makes her way out to the ring first to a pop from the crowd.  Next, manager Figgy Newton comes out and introduces Taylor Bella.  The ‘other’ Bella sister makes her way down to the ring but is booed the entire way.  Figgy gives her some words of wisdom as she climbs into the ring.  Lexy had control of the match but Taylor stayed right with her.  Finally, Figgy got involved hitting Lexy with his megaphone knocking her out.  Taylor then made the cover and hooked the leg to get the 1-2-3.  Taylor Bella gets the win and continues with her winning streak.  Figgy raised her arm in victory and the two left.  (9 min)

Dude USA Mick Rude is backstage and he’s pumped and ready for tonight’s match.  Clarkus Kentus asked him about J C Dykes running around causing trouble but Mick said he hopes Dykes sticks his nose in so he can tear it off.

We head back to the ring for the next match.  Hangman #3 comes out first and is booed.  Next, one third of the 6 Man Champions ScooterJ comes out to a pop from the crowd.  He holds his belt high over his head as he makes his way down to the ring.  He enters and just when Hangman #3 tried to attack him, ScooterJ pulled down the top rope and sent the masked man flying over and crashing to the floor.  ScooterJ took the next minute posing on the turnbuckle before the match finally kicked off.  ScooterJ controlled the latter part of the match barely allowing Hangman #3 to get any offense in at all.  Hangman #3 tried for a body press but ScooterJ caught him and held him (show of strength) before bodyslamming him to the mat. He made the cover and got the 3 count.  ScooterJ wins the match and takes his title all the while celebrating up the ramp.  (15 min)

Angry Jack Lawson storms into Max McGillicutty’s office and demands another match against Outback Oscar.  Max tells him tonight’s card is full but he can be on the next show.  Jack violently kicks a file cabinet before storming out. 

In-ring action continues as manager Ant Graham makes his way out and introduces Mason the Mangler.  They head down to the ring as the fans throw whatever they could find at Ant.  Ant flips off the fans as Mason parades around the ring.  Next, music changes and Billy Robbins comes out to a pop from the crowd.  Once Billy got going and the crowd behind him, he really beat the tar out of Mason.  Ant, of course, tried to interfere but Billy got ahold of him and popped him a good one effectively taking him out of the rest of the match.  Billy then snapped, stunned and just plain overwhelmed Mason to the point where it was practically out on his feet.  Billy began to get frustrated when Mason would keep going to the ropes to break up the pin attempts.  Billy hit the ropes and came off with a flying body press.  This time, he hooked the leg securely and in the middle of the ring, got the 1-2-3.  Billy Robbins gets the clean win over Mason.  Billy celebrates and leaves.  Mason eventually goes to gather up Ant Graham and help the disoriented manager to the back.  (19 min)

Texas Wildfire is backstage and says that the talent in HCW continues to grow and he’s happy to be part of such a great organization.  He says that he has still quite a bit to accomplish in HCW so it’s only a matter of time before he’s in the hunt for SOME title.

Dude USA Mick Rude comes out to a pop from the crowd.  He gets in the ring and wastes no time yelling for the Unknown Assassin to get his ass out there.  The Honorable J C Dykes comes out and tells Rude to cool his heels.  Security comes out lining the ramp.  Debris starts to be hurled down towards the ramp.  Dykes takes a mic and says the Unknown Assassin won’t come out until the sheep settle down.  They don’t.  The security guards then hand sets of poles to the guards on the other side and they extend the poles extending a makeshift canopy.  The canopy deflects a lot of the debris.  Dykes motions for the Unknown Assassin to come out and he’s (relatively) protected from flying cups, pretzels with mustard on them and assorted leftover nachos.  UA comes out and makes his way down to the ring.  He stops short as the ref pleads with the fans to cease their junk throwing so that the match could get underway.  They finally relent and the match begins.  The two battle and it’s like a war.  The Unknown Assassin beats Mick Rude down but like the USA he represents, he battles back with such ferocity.  The two do this for the entire 20 minutes of the match not even taking time to go for pin or submission attempts.  Finally, the bell rings bringing this one to a draw finish but neither are through with each other.  They continue to fight until the locker room empties and the wrestlers try to get and keep the two competitors separate. They mostly fail.  After catching Rude with an eye poke, UA hit Rude with some hard forearm shots.  The roster finally gets UA off of Mick and out of the ring.  Only 3 people remained in the ring with Mick while the rest of the roster got UA out of there.  (20 min for the match; 10 additional for the aftermath)

A beat up Ant Graham is backstage with Dr. Red Fang.  Graham tells the Fiend that Fang will continue to unleash hell on earth until he is given a rematch.  Fang looks at the camera and screams “VAMPIRE LUNGES FOR EVERYONE!”

We head back to the ring for the next match.  Otto Ruthless comes out first and walks down to the ring while the ring crew are still trying to clean up from the previous match.  Next, Texas Wildfire comes out and the fans pop really loud for him.  He shakes hands with many of the fans as he heads down to the ring and slides under the bottom rope.  He then climbs the turnbuckle as the fans continue to pop.  He finally jumps down and the match is ready to begin.  For about 11 minutes, Otto and TW went toe to toe with neither giving the other any headway.  TW started to pull away after he went for two pin attempts after locking in a standing armbar.   After eating a vertical suplex from Otto, TW nailed a superplex.  TW got up and motioned for Otto to get to his feet.  After struggling to get upright, TW hits Otto with a snap powerslam.  He makes the cover and gets the 1-2-3.  Texas Wildfire gets the win and a pop from the crowd.  He shakes hands with more fans as he leaves.

The Hardcore Champion the Fiend is backstage and says he’s moved on from Dr. Red Fang.  Tonight, he takes on Mr. Wrestling #5.  When asked about the threat from Ant Graham earlier, the Fiend called them attention whores and reiterated he is through with Fang.  “It’s time for new challenges and challengers.”

It’s time for the main event.  Mr. Wrestling #5 comes out first to a decent pop from the crowd.  The Misfits music plays and the Fiend comes out to the second loudest reaction of the night.  The Fiend enters the ring and holds the Hardcore title in the face of MW5 before climbing the turnbuckles to pose with his belt.  He finally hands it over and is asked what rules he wants for tonight’s match.  He responds with “ECW Rules”.  After two minutes of the Fiend controlling the match, Ant Graham comes out and stands on the stage.  MW5 then hits two consecutive belly to back suplexes and took control of the match.  7 minutes in, the Fiend connects with the Last Caress but only gets a 1 count.  MW5 battled back and nailed a suplex onto thumbtacks.  Ant makes his way down to the ring behind the back of the ref and then cold cocks him from behind incapacitating him.  Once the ref was back awake, the Fiend hit the Project 1950 but didn’t have it in the tank to go for a pin.  The Fiend goes for the Project 1950 again but it’s reversed into a front chancery and a pin attempt from MW5 getting a 2 count.  The Fiend gets his hands on an empty chair and blasts MW5 with it. He goes for the pin but MW5 makes it to the ropes at the last moment.  We join the match at the 22 min mark.

HCW Wrestling Newsletter 2017 #592

Hello fans and welcome back to our newsletter.  Today’s show will be a bit shorter due to our main event being such a big deal.  World Tag Team Champions the Steel Curtain (Buzz and Starbuck Steel) defend their titles in triple threat match against the Smashers and Hoff n Spicy.  GM Max McGillicutty states that if the Curtain lose the belts, they will be out of the title picture for a whole YEAR.  The person who gets pinned (who is representing the other teams) and his partner will be removed from the title picture until he (Max) feels they are ready to represent again.  It seems Max has it out for the champs but wants to make sure to bring out the best in all teams.

Our show kicks off with a match to determine who gets the next shot at the 6 man tag team titles.  First, the 5^th Column (Karl Braun, Oswald Zimmerman and Baron von Blood) come out and get booed.  Next, the Muscles Trio comes out (Muscles Thorpe, Weasley and McGuire) and they are wearing their rainbow colored bull horns running around acting all goofy.  They make it to the ring and the Column attack them kicking this one off right away.  The Muscles trio fought back and were beating the tar out of the Column until Baron tripped McGuire and he fell face first on the bottom turnbuckle.  Oswald then tossed McGuire out of the ring and while the Baron and Karl knocked Thorpe and Weasley from the ring, the ref counted to 10 and counted McGuire out.  The 5^th Column get the win and appear to be going on to get a title shot at the 6 man titles.  Muscles Thorpe stops them from the ring with mic in hand and challenges them to a best of 5 match to see who REALLY gets to go to the PPV.  Braun says they beat them fair and square but then GM Max McGillicutty comes out and says that a countout is a pretty lousy way to win something important so he tells the 5^th Column that they can either restart the match tonight or they can agree to the best of 5.  After some complaining, they finally agreed.  The 5^th Column then stormed off.  (13 ½ min).

Max remains on stage after the Muscles leave and announces that once HCW officially expands into Tacoma, WA, he will take over managing that show and Master Bull will once again resume his former GM duties and will remain behind and manage the Phoenix part of the show.  It was determined that once WA is confirmed, he and Master Bull will hold a draft and draw names for their respective shows.  The champs will continue to defend the titles across both shows (one will be Sun and the other on Wed). 

Our next match is ready to kick off and MJ comes out first.  Over the loudspeakers blares “Gumbo 7:30 says it’s suppa time bitch!” and the Ragin Cajun Rad Gumbo comes out to a mixed reaction from the crowd.  He and MJ head down to the ring.  Next, Ant Graham comes out and introduces his new guy – Covfefe.  The towering giant comes out masked and dressed in all black.  He makes his way down to the ring slowly, as if he was building up suspense for his entry into the ring.  He immediately attacks Rad who fights back.  Covfefe executes a wrenching armbar but Rad tosses him out of the ring where he paces stalling for time. He gets back in the ring and locks in another wrenching armbar.  Ant Graham climbs on the apron like he was going to give Covfefe something but MJ grabbed him preventing him from doing whatever dastardly feat he was trying to pull off.  The ref came over to separate the two managers and MJ took a swing at Ant but Ant ducked and MJ popped the ref good.  The ref immediately disqualified Rad for managerial interference awarding the match to Covfefe.  Rad was not happy and he jumped Covfefe and locked in a cottonmouth clutch.  Covfefe thrashed around swinging Rad all over the ring.  He ended up getting free enough to hit a black hole slam.  He then nailed Rad with a Big Splash.  Ant laughed at the carnage and he escorted Covfefe to the back.  (2 min for the match; 5 additional for the segment)

Dude USA Mick Rude returns backstage and meets with Max and demands a match against The Unknown Assassin again.  Max says he will make it happen again. 

We’re ready for the next match.  First, Wendell Hammerschmidt comes out to a pop from the crowd.  Next, the rowdy Russian Ivan Dragovich who is booed as he makes his way down to the ring.  Wendell was in control for most of the match but after Ivan connected with a sickle sending Wendell out of the ring, things got a little dicey.  Wendell made it back in at 9.  Ivan then rushed the ropes going for another sickle but Wendell ducked and went for the Red Arrow but Ivan reversed that and went for a release german suplex but Wendell reversed that and hit a german suplex of his own.  He made the cover and got the 3 count.  Wendell gets the win in 18 minutes.

Backstage, The Steel Curtain speak out against the injustices by the tyrant Max McGillicutty.  Buzz says that the GM has had it in for them since the very beginning even when they pandered to the fans.  Starbuck adds that Max can continue to put them in the Kobayashi Maru all he wants but they, like a certain captain, will find a way to win. 

We head back to the ring for the TV title defense.  First, Phat Sol comes out to a huge pop from the crowd.  Next, TV Champion Biceps Bannerman comes out and he’s in a foul mood.  Biceps starts off with chops to the chest of Phat (WOOOOO!) and Phat hits him with a jaw jacker that stunned the big man.  Biceps then accidentally (or purposely) then whipped Phat into the ref taking him out.  Biceps then went and grabbed a chair after fighting with a fan to take it from them.  Finally, he gets back in the ring only to see the ref begin to stir.  He then tosses the chair to Phat who catches it just as the ref looks up.  He sees Phat with the chair and calls for the DQ.  Phat tried to say he didn’t use it but the ref says “I know what I saw.”  Biceps takes his title and leaves but not before Max comes out.  Max says the ref didn’t see what transpired but he did.  Biceps can have this win but he’s not through with Phat Sol.  Max says Phat will get a rematch in one month at the Reign of Champions PPV.  Biceps tries to complain but Max walks off.  (2 min for the match; 5 additional for the segment)

Manager Figgy Newton is backstage with the team of Hoff n Spicy (Davis Hoffmeister and DJ CJ Spice) and Davis says they are excited to finally to take out what was perceived as the two top teams in HCW.  Once they take the titles, they will be the dominant team in all wrestling.  DJ CJ adds in that no team with any real competition can’t match them on their record.  They will continue to dominate the tag team scene and before you know it, they WILL be wearing gold.

Starbuck is backstage and his way is blocked by Smasher #1.  S1 starts to get mouthy and begins to push Starbuck. Starbuck sucker punches Smasher #1 but ends up getting pushed into DJ CJ who was walking by.  “Watch what you’re doing you moron.”  Starbuck says “blow it out your pie hole”.  The three begin to scuffle and Max breaks it up.  Max says that the three of them are OUT of the match tonight and it will be Buzz, Smasher #2 and the Hoff representing their teams.  The stipulation still stands that whoever is pinned is out of future title contentions and if the champs lose, they do not get another title shot for a whole YEAR.

It’s time for our very unique main event.  Representing the Smashers is Smasher #2.  Representing Hoff n Spicy is Davis Hoffmeister.  Finally, representing the tag team champions is Buzz Steel.  Max comes out saying it will be a no countout 60 minute match.  Each person in this match beat the crap out of the others.  It was crazy what all three men brought to this match.  Each person got injured during the match but each recovered and continued to fight.  Also during the 60 minute iron man match, each person’s tag team partner came down to provide “support” for their teammate.  Starbuck came down and hit Smasher #2 with a slingshot suplex.  Smasher #1 dropped Davis with the Fall of Man and DJ CJ took out Starbuck with a bulldog.  After the teammates were all removed from the ring, Buzz, Davis and Smasher #1 continued to fight…all the way to the 60 minute time limit.  As time was running down, Smasher #2 was getting his offense going and Buzz dropped to his knees offering friendship.  Once Smasher #2 was distracted by this, Buzz poked him in the eye.  Right after that, the bell rang bringing this 60 minute war to an end.  GM Max McGillicutty came out and said that he “scored” the match but with no pin or submission, the belts won’t change hands so the Steel Curtain are still the champs.  He now has to decide is it the Smashers or Hoff n Spicy that are out of the tag team picture.  Max thought long and hard and said that Davis did better than Smasher #2 so he’s allowing Hoff n Spicy to remain in the title picture whereas the Smashers are out…for now.   Smasher #1 joined Smasher #2 in the ring to confront Max but DJ CJ and Starbuck Steel came out and hit double dropkicks on the Smashers sending them tumbling out of the ring.  The champs and Hoff n Spicy then had a face off in the middle of the ring as the show comes to an end. 

Stay tuned for more action.

HCW Wrestling Newsletter 2017 #591

Hello fans and welcome back to our newsletter.   Well, this has been a very busy week for GM Max McGillicutty and the HCW owners as they dig deeper into the expansion of HCW into the Tacoma, WA market.  Because of all that, only one show was able to take place this week.  Hopefully next week will get back on the 2 show schedule but Max has his hands full and things may prove to be a challenge over the next few weeks.

The show starts off with a backstage vignette.  Master Bull is sitting in a room by himself singing “Nobody knows the troubles I’ve seen”.  Bull enlightens us with a story about how, at the age of 13, he would be an energetic teenager and while playing on the softball field, he would work up a thirst.  His dad would happily feed him beer.  He’s been hooked ever since.  He takes a swig of his beer and goes back to moping. 

After that depressing moment, the show kicks off with a bang with pyro going off.  First, Talon McFrost comes out to a mixed reaction from the crowd.  Next, over the loudspeakers blares “VAMPIRE LUNGES FOR EVERYONE!” and out comes the hated vampire bot Dr. Red Fang along with the even more despised manager Ant Graham.    Fang snarls and growls at the fans as he makes his way down and into the ring.  Graham tells Fang to attack and attack he/it does.  Talon didn’t put up much of a fight and in just 3 minutes, Fang trapped Talon in a spider web lock and McFrost had no choice but to tap out.  Dr. Red Fang gets the win but he doesn’t let up.  He continues beating Talon down and hits him with a Vampire Lunge followed up by a Transylvania Piledriver.  Graham takes the ref out and Fang locks Talon back in the spider web lock and as Talon screamed in pain, Graham gets on the mic calling out the Fiend telling him that this will continue to happen until the good Dr gets his rematch.  Fang takes the mic and in a creepy but slow voice, says “Vampire Lunges for Everyone.”  Fang and Graham leave.

King Wilber says he’ll deal with Sonic Blade all in good time but tonight, he is defending his title against family…real family in the shape of the giant Mountain Man Junior Huber.  Wilber tells Junior he needs to do what is right for the family and expects Junior to do the ‘right thing’.

It’s time for our next match.  Terra Ryzing comes out first and is booed.  Next, Leon Teremoto makes his way out and he surprisingly gets a pop from the crowd.  Terra took the match to Leon for 12 minutes but after Leon nailed a powerbomb, the match turned into his favor and he just began to annihilate Terra.  Terra wasn’t able to get much in the way of offense.  Leon locked Terra in a Gorilla Hug and almost got the submission but Terra eye raked him and made it to the safety of the ropes.  Just as the time was getting ready to run out, Terra locked in a hammerlock and Leon hit him with a spinebuster.  He tried to go for the pin but the bell rang bringing this one to a 20 min draw.  Terra took off not wanting to deal with Leon anymore.  Leon celebrated with the fans before departing.

Backstage, Figgy Newton is with Hoff n Spicy and says that they are going to continue their winning ways when they continue to move up the tag team rankings until the Steel Curtain have no choice but to give them another title match.  Hoff and DJ then lean in and say “WORD” and then have a laugh.

We go back to the ring for our next match.  Outback Oscar comes out first to a pop from the fans.  Next, Angry Jack Lawson comes out next to a reverse reaction from the crowd.  Jack starts off with a scoop slam but Oscar reverses it going for knee lifts to the midsection but Jack reverses that and hurls Oscar out of the ring.  Oscar is back in by the 8 count.  Oscar ducks a clothesline and locks in the Outback Stretch.  Trapped in the middle of the ring and nowhere to go, Jack taps out.  2 minutes in and this one is over.  Oscar celebrates but then is blasted by Jack from behind and hurled out of the ring.  Jack storms off.  Oscar eventually makes his way to the back.

Phat Sol is backstage and runs into his former tag team partner ‘Red Hot’ Lucas Johnston.  They talk about the old days of them teaming and Chic Monroe and Bishop Ripley walk over and call them old and has-beens.  Phat ask Lucas if, for old time’s sake, they want to team up to teach these two a lesson and Lucas says “Sure, why not.”  Bishop curls his lip at them and he and Chic walk off.

Manager MJ comes out first and then introduces Perfect Pecs Stoddard and Red McNulty.  They collectively head down to the ring.  Next, Figaroa Newton comes out and he introduces Hoff n Spicy and the fans pop HUGE!  Davis Hoffmeister and DJ CJ Spice join their manager on stage and then head down to the ring.  Typically Davis starts off but DJ CJ insisted.  Right off the bat, he locked Red in a guillotine choke but Pecs made the save.  Davis then gets tagged in and nails Red with a piledriver.  He goes for the pin only getting a one count and tags back out.  Davis and DJ CJ did this for the match and it frustrated MJ and his team.  8 minutes in, Davis locks Red in a camel clutch but he doesn’t tap.  He then hit a monkey flip and rolled Red up while DJ CJ hits Pecs with a forearm shot knocking him from the apron.  The count is made and Hoff n Spicy add another win to their impressively growing winning ways.  Figgy, Hoff and DJ CJ all left the ring while MJ confronted his team in the ring.  MJ tells them that this isn’t working and that he has to let them go.  Pecs and Red push MJ down and then laugh and walk off.

Backstage, Junior Huber is with his siblings Butch and Ferb and asks what he should do about cousin Wilber.  Butch tells Junior that blood is thicker than water but obtaining GOLD is worth every drop of blood.  Ferb says that Wilber told him to do what is right (presumably to lay down without lifting a finger) but says that no Huber has ever held a World title and tonight, that becomes a strong possibility if Junior can win. 

We head back to the ring as Chic Monroe and Bishop Ripley make their way out to the ring.  Even though Prestige Inc is dead and it was they who dumped Master Bull, the fans still didn’t like them.  Next, Phat Sol and ‘Red Hot’ Lucas Johnston come out to a huge pop.  The match was a true wrestling show like none other.  All 4 men gave it their all with Chic and Bishop being in control for most of the match but once Phat and Lucas figured out how to work again as a team (they’ve been doing the singles scene as of late), they really took it to Chic and Bishop to the point where they almost turned the tides.  Just as the time limit was getting ready to run out, Lucas nailed repeated dropkicks on Chic but he managed to hit a diving headbutt.  He went to make the cover but before he even got a 1 count, the bell rang bringing this one to a 30 minute draw.  Chic and Bishop left while Lucas and Phat celebrated with the fans before departing.

Master Bull makes his way to Max’s office and knocks on the door before entering.  Master Bull, with no one left to manage, asks Max if, once the split happens, if he can stay and run the Phoenix show while Max runs the Tacoma show.  Max agrees but Bull has to sign a ton of documents to ensure he doesn’t go power hungry or skim profits again (he said those days were over).

It’s time for our Main Event:  King Wilber vs Junior Huber with the World title on the line.  First, Junior Huber, a mountain of a man, comes out first and is mostly booed.  Next, King Wilber Townsend comes out and is 100% booed.  He walks down the ring to his creepy music and enters the ring.  Wilber walks over to Junior and tells him to do what is right and then steps back.  Junior looks around and then lays down in the ring.  The bell rings and Wilber makes the cover.  The ref counts (really fast) 1..2…KICKOUT!  Junior POWERS out of the pin with such force.  Wilber is astonished and can’t believe it.  Wilber asks what Junior is doing and Junior begins to just blast Wilber much to the delight of the fans.  The match then officially begins.
