Hello wrestling fans and welcome to another installment of the HCW Wrestling Newsletter. Today, we are on the road about 90 miles north visiting Charlotte, NC. We have back to back shows, one here and one tomorrow back down in Columbia to give members of the roster more time to showcase their skills.
Based on their
past interactions, the match pitting the Dynamic Duo vs the 5th
Column has been added to the Meltdown PPV on July 4th.
As pyro goes off
kicking off tonight’s festivities, we immediately go backstage for a promo from
the Wicked Prophet.
"Listen up, you pitiful
mortals! The Wicked Prophet has descended from the cosmic abyss to grace you
with my malevolent presence. Former HCW World Champion? Oh, that’s just a
footnote in my dark saga. I held that title like a serpent grips its
prey—tight, unyielding, and venomous.
Jack Lumber, you lumbering oaf! You
think you earned your spot in the Fatal Four Way? Ha! The gods themselves
must’ve been drunk on mead to allow your axe-swinging, tree-hugging carcass
into that match. But fear not, Jack, for I’ll chop you down like a rotten oak.
Your fate is sealed, and the prophecy foretells your demise. The Wicked Prophet
doesn’t play favorites; I play for keeps.
And then there’s Mr. X, the enigma
wrapped in a riddle, shrouded in mystery. What’s your game, Mr. X? Are you a
shadowy assassin, a cosmic traveler, or just a delusional fool? It matters not.
When our paths intersect, I’ll reveal your secrets to the world. Your mask
won’t protect you from my revelations. Prepare for enlightenment, Mr. X, for
the Wicked Prophet sees all.
Ah, the Banker, our illustrious
World Champion. You sit atop your throne, counting your ill-gotten gains,
oblivious to the cosmic balance shifting. Your vaults overflow with gold, but
your soul? Empty as a black hole. You’re a parasite, Banker, feeding off the
masses. But I’ll bankrupt you, not in dollars, but in spirit. When the Wicked
Prophet claims his rightful place, your reign will crumble like a house of
cards.
So, heed my words, HCW universe: The
Wicked Prophet is no mere mortal. I am the harbinger of doom, the cosmic
reckoning. When the bell tolls, the heavens weep, and the stars align, know
this: your fate rests in my hands. Bow before the darkness, for the prophecy
unfolds, and the endgame begins."
Match #1: ‘The Wildman’
Jax Brenner w/ Molly Mason vs Azrael w/the Ambassador in a non-title
match.
Azrael and the
Ambassador come out first and were booed heavily. Azrael flips off the fans and threatens to
hit a couple on his way to the ring. He
gets in the ring and continues to taunt the fans until the music changed and
out comes the Hardcore Champion Jax Brenner for this non-title match. Jax flew to the ring which was amazing to see
from a man his size. He got right in the
ring and the match began. Azrael had the
upper hand early on but Jax took over and then it was all him. We join the match at the 12 minute mark.

Jax Brenner gets
the win and the fans pop but it’s short lived as ‘Perfect Pecs’ Stoddard came
out and attacked Jax. The two brawled
until security broke it up. These two
are meeting tomorrow with the title on the line. Pecs may have thought he was taking a cheap
shot at the champ but all he did was enrage the giant. Eventually, everyone made their way
backstage.
Backstage, Kroman
the Barbarian attacks the Commando. It
appears that Col. Flagg put out a hit on Zack Brown before their Meltdown PPV
trying to take him out. Security came
and broke it up.
Match #2: Wilber

Guerrero.
JR Fargo and
Alejandro Guerrero came out first to a loud pop from the crowd. The shook hands with the fans as their made
their way to the ring. Shortly thereafter,
US Champion Wilber Townsend and his nephew TNT came out and the fans
booed. Wilber smiled an evil smile as
they made their way to the ring. Once in
the ring, the ref notified everyone that Wilber & TNT’s placement (in the
top 10) was on the line in this special challenge match. If JR and Lee get the
win, they move up in the rankings.
This one was weird
as the lights kept flickering during the match which was very distracting for
everyone. Finally, whatever it was
stopped by the 8th minute of the match so that is where we join.

The team of JR
Fargo and Alejandro Guerrero get the win and the fans pop huge for them. The masked person on the stage removes his
mask and it’s…DENNIS MARSHALL! Dennis is
playing mindgames with the Eaters of Worlds and it made an impact. Wilber was stewing in the ring while Dennis
stayed on the stage pointing to Wilber and then his own head (showing he can outsmart
the mind-games expert). Dennis
left. JR and Lee also went to the
back. Wilber and TNT eventually left
while the fans taunted them.
Match #3:
Kroman the Barbarian vs Rex Rampage.
Our next match
starts off with newcomer Rex Rampage coming to the ring. He gets a decent pop from the fans as he
makes his way to the ring. Next, Kroman
the Barbarian comes out to a huge negative reaction from the crowd. Wow, this guy is really unlikable. The match began and Kroman dominated the

the win in his debut match but he leaves the ring quickly as Zack Brown enters
and he and Kroman duke it out until Kroman had enough and left the ring. Zack gets on the mick and challenges Kroman
to a ‘Loser Leaves HCW’ match tomorrow night in Columbia. Kroman makes his way to the stage and begins
laughing. Just then, Col. Flagg shows up
and hands an envelope (presumably with money) to Kroman for goading the
Commando into the match. Col. Flagg
mouths that he will do whatever it takes to ensure Zack is out of HCW and their
match at Meltdown never happens.
Match #4: Luna
Shadow vs Lavender Gooms
Lavender made her
way out first to booing from the crowd.
Luna came out next to a nice pop from the crowd.
Just as the match
began, Chloe Parker came out and went to sit at ringside. Both Lavender and Luna had words with her for
disrupting the match. Lavender went
right on the offensive taking Luna down with a hurricanrana. She then locked Luna in the Lavender
Lock. Luna made it to the ropes but
Chloe ran over and hit her hand with what looked like a pipe to get her to
release the ropes. Lavender cinched in
the Lock with her hand in extreme pain, Luna tapped out. Lavender Gooms gets the win in 2 short
minutes due to outside interference from Chloe Parker. Lavender left after having her hand
raised. Chloe got in the ring and stood
over Luna who was holding her hand gingerly.
Chloe grabbed it and immediately stomped on it. Luna screamed in pain. A few refs rushed out and got Chloe out of
there and tended to Luna. They helped
her to the back.
We head backstage
for a promo from the TV Champion ‘the Financial Maverick’ Evan Stockwell and
his manager the diabolical Ruth Heartless.
Evan ‘the Financial Maverick’
Stockwell: (adjusting his tie) Ruth, my dear, do you see this? The HCW TV
Championship—a symbol of power, prestige, and, most importantly, cold, hard
cash. Tonight, Outback Oscar steps into the ring with the Financial Maverick,
and he’s about to learn a valuable lesson: money talks, and Evan Stockwell
walks.
Ruth Heartless: (smirking) Oh, Evan,
you’re positively dripping with financial finesse. Oscar thinks he can
outwrestle you? Ha! He’s a kangaroo-loving dreamer, hopping around like he’s
got a chance. But we know better, don’t we?
Evan ‘the Financial Maverick’
Stockwell: (leans in) Ruth, my dear manager, remind me—how many zeros are in a
million? Because that’s how much I’m worth. And Oscar? Well, he’s worth about
as much as a rusty boomerang. Tonight, I’ll show him the true meaning of
wealth: dominance, dividends, and dollar signs.
Ruth Heartless: (whispers) Evan, remember
our strategy. Play dirty. Use those expensive cufflinks to your advantage. And
if things get hairy, slip a few bills to the ref. We’re not here to win hearts;
we’re here to win matches.
Evan ‘the Financial Maverick’ Stockwell:
(winks) Ruth, you’re a genius. Oscar won’t know what hit him. By the time I’m
done, he’ll be begging for a loan just to cover his medical bills. And when I
lock in the Profit Margin Submission Hold, he’ll tap out faster than the stock
market crash of '29.
Ruth Heartless: (holds up a briefcase)
Here’s your secret weapon—the Golden Ledger. It’s filled with unpaid debts,
shady investments, and compromising photos of Oscar with a koala. Use it
wisely.
Evan ‘the Financial Maverick’
Stockwell: (snatches the briefcase) Ruth, you’re a treasure. Tonight, Outback
Oscar becomes a footnote in my financial legacy. And when the bell tolls, the
only currency that matters is victory. Woo-hoo! (flashes a hundred-dollar bill)
Ruth Heartless: (smiles) Evan, go
make it rain. And remember, we’re not just wrestlers; we’re financial titans.
Let’s bankrupt Oscar’s dreams and invest in our own future.
(They exit, leaving a trail of
metaphorical stock market crashes and smug grins.)
Match #5: The

Outback Oscar

title high as the fans boo. Ruth holds
the briefcase up and the fans boo even louder.
