Hello Wrestling
fans and welcome back to the next installment of HCW’s Tacoma Thunder. We have a great show for you today with a
totally awesome lineup. There was a mess
up with the shows posted and the Phoenix rostered show was posted for Tacoma so
I guess for this week, we will have members of the Heat roster on the Tacoma
show.

The show kicks off
back in GM Max McGillicutty’s office and in walks the Duchess with Lady Hermann
in tow. The Duchess questions why she
and Lady Hermann aren’t given a bye as they are royalty and feel they should be
getting a “pass”. Max tells her that
she, like the rest of the Ladies roster, has to pay her dues in THIS type of
match if she wants to become Queen of HCW.
She says she’s practically there and says she’ll eliminate anyone who
gets in her way. Lady Hermann gives her
a quizzical look but the Duchess backtracks and says “Of course not you” but
quickly looks away with an odd expression on her face. The two leave. Before
Max has a chance to take a breath, Candice Charisma walks in and says she wants
a match tonight. Max tells her it just
so happens that she’s already on the card against the Duchess. Candice snorts in derision. “I thought I was going to be challenged
here.” Max tells her “Don’t count your
chickens before they hatch. You have to
make it through the match first. Candice
turns to walk out and says “Like there’s any question…” Max shakes his head.
Pyro goes off and
we’re ready to kick this one off. Making
his way out first is Outback Oscar and he is accompanied by his tag team
partner the US Champion the Crocodile Hunter.
Croc wishes his partner luck and Oscar heads down to the ring to a pop
from the crowd. Next, Otto Ruthess comes
out and as he heads down, he glares at Croc and motions that he will take
Croc’s belt (although he not even a contender for this title so whatever) and
he heads to the ring and the fans boo him.
He of course flips them off and climbs in. The bell rings pretty quick and these two go
at it however it was slow going as both men continued to nullify each other’s
moves. Finally, it started to get
interesting when both men went to the outside but after smashing Oscar’s head
into the steel steps, Otto rolled back in just beating the 10 count. Otto gets the win via countout. Otto takes a mic and demands that, since he
beat Oscar, he wants his spot in the top 10.
GM Max McGillicutty comes out and says that it wasn’t a stipulation for
this match however, he thinks that Croc vs Otto would be a good match so he
makes it so. Oscar is moved to the top
10 for the hardcore title.
We go backstage
where Red McNulty is being interviewed.
Red says that Rad Gumbo is a wannabe Cajun who thinks he actually makes
a difference to the world. He calls
Gumbo a glorified jobber with a manager who just stands there. Tonight, in the steel cage, he will beat
Gumbo within an inch of his life and Rad will run home to his mommy and will be
gone from HCW for good.
It’s time for the
next match. An explosion rings through
the speakers and Bob “Powder” Keg makes his way out to the ring to a mixed
reaction from the crowd. Next, Talon
McFrost comes out also to a mixed reaction.
Both men have a stare down in the middle of the ring before the bell
sounds kicking this one off. The two men
were pretty evenly matched and with the exception of a couple of high spots,
they kept the action mostly on the mat.
Talon kept his eye on the clock and as it neared completion, he began to
try and get more aggressive. He
viciously eye raked Bob and when he tried to go for a quick pin, the bell rang
bringing this one to a draw. The two looked
like they could keep going but actually ended up shaking hands before separating
in the ring. (20 min draw)
The Duchess is
backstage with Lady Hermann and is told about the comments made about her from
Candice Charisma. The Duchess laughed
saying Candice pretends to want to run with the big dogs and she’ll prove it
tonight. Also, once she becomes the one
true Queen of HCW, she will snuff out anyone who disrespects her…Anyone.
The next match is
ready to go. Wendell Hammerschmidt comes
out and the fans boo him as he walks down to the ring. Next, El Chango comes out first and the fans
pop for him. He shakes hands with the
fans as he makes his way into the ring.
Wendell tried for a cheap shot but El Chango dominated the match totally
schooling Wendell. El Chango hits the
ropes and nearly takes Wendell’s head off with a flying spinning heel
kick. El Chango makes the cover and gets
the 3 count. El Chango wins and
celebrates with the fans as Wendell makes his way to the back. (8 min)
“The Ragin Cajun”
Rad Gumbo is backstage with his manager MJ.
Rad says that tonight, many things will change. Steel Cages are not forgiving structures and
take a measure of pain, suffering and blood as part of the willingness to fight
within its four walls. He will show the
Irishman what a pissed off Cajun is like and he promises he will NOT like what
he sees.
The Duchess makes
her way out to a mixed reaction from the crowd.
Lady Hermann follows closely behind like her bodyguard. The Duchess gets into the ring and tries to
rile up the crowd but they’re pretty lackluster. Next, Candice Charisma comes out and the fans
pop and as she makes her way down to the ring, the Duchess looks flabbergasted
at how the fans are reacting to the ‘little-miss-special’. Candice gets into the ring and Lady Hermann
goes to stand outside the ring. The
match was pretty even between the two ladies with Candice matching the Duchess
move for move which infuriated her. The
Duchess began to panic and locked Candice up with the All Hail Her Majesty
trying for the submission but Lady Hermann took it upon herself to interject
herself into the action by blatantly attacking Candice which prompted the ref
to ring the bel and call the match disqualifying the Duchess for outside
interference. Candice gets the win and
laughs as she leaves. The Duchess glares
at Lady Hermann who shrugs and the two of them leave. (6 ½ min)
Brick, TNT and the
Axe are backstage and they say they’ve waited for this moment since Scooter J
cost them the championship. Axe says
that tonight, they will prove they are the superior team when they take the
titles home tonight.
As we pan back to
the ring, the crew are assembling the steel cage. Upon completion, the match is started and Red
McNulty makes his way out and down to the ring. The fans boo as he enters the
steel structure. Next, over the loudspeakers
blares “Gumbo 7:30 says its suppa time, bitch!” and out comes manager MJ and
the Ragin Cajun Rad Gumbo. The fans pop
for Gumbo as he makes his way down and he’s all business. The structure will prevent MJ from providing
any assistance to Gumbo. Gumbo enters
the ring and McNulty backs into the corner.
The bell rings and this one is off and running. The first minute of the match had the two
measuring each other up. Gumbo hits Red
with the Bourbon Street Blues. Red
shakes it off. Gumbo then crushed Red’s
fingers against the cage and then hit him with the Onion Lock. Red catapults Gumbo into the cage but Gumbo
locks in the New Orleans Crab. McNulty
almost immediately taps out. Gumbo then
easily made it to the door and exited the cage and this one was over. Rad Gumbo gets the win in only 4
minutes. It seemed like sort of a
letdown after the buildup of this one.
GM Max McGillicutty comes out and says that Gumbo will go down in the
record books as the winner of the match but says the fans here wanted to see a
FIGHT. Max says that the two of them
will continue in the cage until one of them can no longer stand or 30 minutes
passed. Gumbo seemed ok with that and
re-entered the cage. The bell rang
again. This time, the fans got a real
treat. The ref left the ring as there
would be no pin or submission attempts…just a good ol’ ass beating. And Red McNulty got his ass handed to him
solidly (148 to 89). Gumbo busted McNulty
up early on and Red wore a crimson mask and that may have led to his lack of
offense. 8 minutes in, Gumbo climbed to
the top of the cage and connected with a B-52 kneedrop and the fans popped
huge. Throughout the match, Gumbo locked
Red in the New Orleans crab and even though Red was slapping the mat trying to
tap out, there was no one to make the call.
21 minutes in, Gumbo locked in the crab again and McNulty pulled out
some brass knuckles and busted Gumbo open with them. This one went all the way to 30 minutes and
the match was called while Gumbo had McNulty trapped in the Onion lock (Muta
lock). Gumbo wins this one decidedly and
walks out to the back with MJ and his head held high. McNulty had to be stretchered out.
The 6 Man Tag team
Champs the Steel Curtain and Biceps Bannerman are backstage and they say that
the Axe, Brick and TNT are all good competitors but they are not them and as
much as Axe and his team may want it, the champs will retain tonight.
It’s time for our
main event. The Axe, Brick and TNT all
make their way down to the ring to a pop from the crowd. Next, the 6 Man tag champs Buzz and Starbuck
Steel and Biceps Bannerman come out to what seems like one of the loudest pops
of the night (tied with Gumbo). They get
into the ring and after holding the titles high, they went over to shake the hands
of their competitors. The battle begins
and after 4 minutes in, Axe was dropkicked out of the ring by Biceps Bannerman
(yes that was a sight to see) and Axe fell out of the ring. In from the crowd came Scooter J and he
picked up the Axe and threw him through a table getting injured and being taken
out of the match. Scooter J took off
through the crowd. While that was going
on, Brick hit Buzz Steel with a piledriver and went for a pin but got a 1
count. Buzz tagged out to Starbuck but
then all three of the champs entered the ring.
Biceps hit Brick with a Full Nelson lift and slam; Buzz hits Brick with
a reverse neckbreaker and then Starbuck threw Brick out of the ring. Brick was in no shape to make it back into
the ring and got counted out. The Steel
Curtain and Biceps retain their titles much to the delight of the fans. After the match, they went out to check on
Axe and Brick. The champs helped their
opponents to their feet and helped them to the back. The show ended as the champs turned to
acknowledge the crowd before going backstage.
Thanks for
reading. Our next show continues the
action so be sure to tune in.
