The Wrestling Spirit: A Weekly HCW Review
By: TheSpirit88 Date: June 8, 2015, 10:14 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
FADE IN:
We see a studio with fancy decorations and a panel on the
center. More importantly, we see sitting behind the panel is
former HCW wrestler: David Otunga. To his right is Renee Young
and to his left is Matt Striker.
Welcome ladies and gentlemen, this is The Wrestling Spirit: A
Weekly HCW Review. Now, if you just happened to incidentally
stumble upon this and have no idea what the hell you are
currently viewing, fear not. My name is David Otunga. I am a
former member of the HCW roster. At one point I was a valued
constituent of this promotion but a series of unfortunate events
and a combination of some personal issues led to my departure
from HCW. I was gone for quite a while but now I am back and
better than ever.
To my right is Reene Young and to my left is Matt Striker.
These two individuals will join me tonight and with our
collective expertise on HCW we will discus some of the hottest
ongoing events in HCW today. Exactly what is "The Wrestling
Spirit?" Good question.
"The Wrestling Spirit" will be a regular analysis of the events
that transpire over the week. Every Monday a new analysis will
air, live. In many ways this analysis will be somewhat like a
PPV Pre-Show except more frequent and not nearly as specially
long. We will utilize this time to examine some of the top HCW
rivalries and competitors and every week the show will culminate
with an exceptional Power 25.
So, without further ado, let us begin. Matt, if you would be
kind enough to head over to the Social Media Lounge. Renee,
please head over to the Telephone Room.
Matt Striker stands and heads over to the Social Media Lounge.
Renee heads to the Telephone Room.
Great. This week on the very first edition of TWS, I will run
down over the current HCW roster and I will voice my opinions on
each competitor. This week I will focus on the Collision
roster. Now, before I do so, please keep in mind that the
following are simply my views which may not mean much but at the
same time do remember that I am a former piece of HCW. I was,
as mentioned, a very valued member at one point. That makes me
an insider. However, due to my departure I am also an outsider.
In consequence, I'm the best of both worlds, baby. Let us
commence:
I'll be going over the Collision roster...
[center]--OTUNGA'S PERSPECTIVE ON COLLISION--[/center]
Mick Foley- He has seen better times. He remains the CEO of HCW
but ever since his defeat at the hands of Dolph Ziggler he has
not been the same man he once was. It would appear that "The
Reverend of Relevance" truthfully conquered the former GM.
Ted DiBiase Jr.- Another CEO of HCW. It is my understanding
that he was at one point the most hated individual in HCW and
now he somehow finds himself in a position of power. Makes you
wonder who's making all the top decisions in this company.
Coachman- From what I can tell he's a competent GM. He gets his
work done and tries to schedule what the fans want to see. He
gives power to the people in many ways and overall he does a
good job is a position of power.
Daniel Bryan- My man! Matt Striker will be interviewing him
shortly in the Social Media Lounge, don't miss that. They are
currently setting up, but yeah, the guy's great. I've hung out
with him on a couple occasions and he's real cool. Not to
mention talented. He appears to be edging his way as the
company's top face and that's a great sight to see.
Dean Ambrose- Alongside The Shield, this man is unstoppable.
His wrestling style and unpredictability are a huge advantage in
every match he competes in. He has now earned a spot on the Pot
of Gold match. He will make a huge impact in that match. Don't
rule him out to win the entire thing.
Roman Reigns- Alongside Seth Rollins, Roman has held the Synergy
Tag Team titles for a while now. In fact, I believe they are
the longest reigning tag champs in history. That's impressive.
If The Shield eventually splits, there is no doubt in my mind
that this man will hold some singles gold around his waist.
Drake Younger- The man has been around for a while now. He was
very successful in the independent scene and is a pleasure to
see in the ring. Looking forward to see what the future holds
for this young man.
Batista- To be honest with the audience, I have not heard this
man say one word. Although, maybe I'm just not paying
attention.
Cody Rhodes- Oh boy, where do I start? I used to love this guy.
He was hands down the most loved wrestler in the world. Nobody
compared to him. He had a loyal fanbase all around the world
that mostly consisted of females and young children. They
supported him through thick and thin and they were always there
for him. How did he repay them? He turned his back on them.
He betrayed his followers and was the result of endless
nightmares for children. Now he has affiliated himself with the
Golden Generation. It may not be my place to say so but that's
just despicable. He is hands-down the most hated villain in
HCW, at the moment.
Seth Rollins- Arguably the most talented member in The Shield.
He has Universal champion written all over him. The guy is
seriously talented. In the ring, he usually stands out the
most. Even on the microphone, he usually does so, as well.
He's one of a kind.
Jeff Hardy- Probably the nicest guy in all of HCW. With Cody
Rhodes defecting to the dark side, Jeff Hardy (alongside Daniel
Bryan) is filling a void in the hearts of many loyal fans. The
best thing about this competitor is that as nice as he is
outside the ring, he is ruthless and brutal inside. Definitely
not someone you want to mess with.
Kofi Kingston- Very talented individual. He is not playing
around in HCW. From his interview with my Interviewing
colleague, Renee Young, we can tell that he means business.
Dolph Ziggler- He is one of HCW's top guys. Like him or hate
him, you have to respect him. His story is a special one. He's
a former world champion but was forced to vacate the belt due to
a bogus drug test result. At the time of those occurrences we
all felt bad for him but ever since, the guy has been a thorn in
the side of many. His alliance with Triple H is perhaps the
strongest in wrestling since The United Coalition. Everybody
better watch out for this guy because something tells me he's
just getting started.
Triple H- The guy is holy grail of bad guys. He is the ultimate
heel, if I may utilize that language. All the young competitors
that are not too fond of kissing up to the crowd, take notes on
how to succeed from this individual.
The Undertaker- It is not my place to opiniate about this
individual. I value life too much.
Kane- See above.
Matt Morgan- One of the most dangerous competitors in HCW today.
Also, I feel like he's one of the most underrated, too. One
Carbon Footprint from this guy and you might stop breathing.
He's fire on the mic when he wants to be and he could very well
be the next big thing.
Edge- When I think of "The Rated R Superstar" I think of only
one word: constant. He has been around for quite some time
which means that he is a veteran. He is an expert of many
fields and even though I do not necessarily like his line of
family, I do respect the man.
Sin Cara- This kid is no joke. The things he can do in the ring
combined with his dark affiliations and he is a threat to be
reckoned with.
Sami Zayn- He is the upstart in HCW. He displays huge promise
for things to come in the future. He could very well be the
future of the company. He has all the tools.
Randy Orton- Without a doubt, hands-down, no questions asked the
hottest thing in wrestling right now. His performance at
Survive If I Let You and his recent form are only part of the
equation when it comes to this man. One has to take into
account his history and general attitude towards the world.
We're talking about the man who can strike at any given moment,
any time, any place, on anybody. The last guy you want to mess
with. I am intrigued to see what is next for "The Viper".
Rick Steiner- Rick's relationship with HCW has been a tumultuous
one. He's been here, left, came back, left again, and once more
he has returned. Ha he ever made more of an impact on a return
than this time, though? During the Collision Survivor Series
match, he attacked his own brother. I still don't know what to
make of the situation but if this is the beginning of
something... it has potential to be the biggest feud on TV right
now.
Kevin Owens- One of the most skilled competitors of today. His
involvement with the Golden Generation is an impactful one. So
much so that I would go as far as to say that without him, the
Golden Generation would not be the same.
Taz- At last... the new Universal champion! He is, in every
way, the most dominant current wrestler in HCW, if not the
world. Having that championship around his waist was something
that many of us could not wait to see. More impressive, he
ended Cody Rhodes' historic championship reign. Of the last 24
months, Rhodes was champion for 22 of them. Taz is a future
Hall of Famer for sure, let's just hope that things line up
correctly for him in the future and by that I mean, let us hope
Cody Rhodes does not regain the championship any time soon.
And now, let's join Matt Striker who is in the Social Media
Lounge with the International champion... Daniel Bryan!
We switch over to the Social Media Lounge where Striker sits
with Bryan.
[center]--THE SOCIAL MEDIA LOUNGE--[/center]
Matt Striker: Hey Daniel, we understand that as International
champion, you have a very busy schedule and we appreciate you
taking time for us. Thank you for being here.
Daniel Bryan: Thank you for having me.
Matt Striker: The way this will work is as follows: the HCW
Universe has been on social media all day long using the
#AskDBry. We have selected a few questions that the fans
themselves want you to respond right here live on The Wrestling
Spirit. Ready?
Daniel Bryan: Yeah.
Matt Striker: Great. First question is from @Pat7002: "What
inspired the Yes! Movement? #AskDBRY #HCW"
Daniel Bryan: I simply think the fans needed a way to remind
management that they also have a voice... And they are seeing me
as their guy lately, which I truly appreciate.
Matt Striker: Moving on to recent events. You were involved in
the Collision Survivor Series match. The next question is from
@YoMomma: "Of all Golden Generation members, who gets under your
skin the most? #AskDBry"
Daniel Bryan: While I hate the group a lot... There's not a man
that gets under my skin than Hunter Hearst Helmsley... The guy
is a cancer... Plain and simple... As good as his career has
been... His mouth spits poison every single time he talks.
Matt Striker: The next question is from @DeezNuts: "#askdbry HHH
has been in multiple rivalries in HCW. Most notably the one
versus Mick Foley. How close are you to Mick?"
Daniel Bryan: Mick is in management. We have good conversations
but he has a job to do just like me. We do have a good
relationship, though.
Matt Striker: Now we move on to the personal questions... from
@AwesomeMr: "Of all the wrestlers in HCW, who can you call your
"best friend"? #AskDbry"
Daniel Bryan: Jeff Hardy. It's already well-known that despite
the fact that we fought for the International Championship just
a week or so ago... We still consider ourselves as good friends.
Matt Striker: Along those lines, from @CornHub: "What do you
consider your best HCW moment? #ASKDBRY"
Daniel Bryan: Simple... Winning the International Title at Birth
of Destruction VII... After how I was when I was CDM champion,
this title win was my own moment of redemption. And the match
was one of the best I ever had the pleasure of competing with...
Matt Striker: From @HCWIsAwesome: "Favorite match in HCW that
you weren't a part of? #AskDBry"
Daniel Bryan: Oh man... Asking me like that... Shawn Michaels
against Ted DiBiase Jr. inside Hell in a Cell... BOD VI, I
believe... That feud was one of the most personal this company
has ever had.
Matt Striker: Great match, indeed. Next, from
@StraightEdgeBlondie: "HCW has had many people come and go. Who
do you most admire of all former members? #AskDBry"
Daniel Bryan: CM Punk.... He is the guy that gave me my first
chance... He took me under his wing and made me part of who I am
today. I owe it to him.
Matt Striker: Interesting. Final question, from @AskDBry
"#AskDBry what is next for DBry?"
DBry: Defending the International Championship against whoever
Coach decides to have me defend it against. Trying to make this
belt improve his legitimacy by having the best matches and the
best reign I can deliver.
Matt Striker: Cool. Thanks so much for being here Daniel.
Daniel Bryan: No problem.
Matt Striker: We now join Renee Young in the Telephone Room.
We switch over to the Telephone Room where Renee Young sits with
a telephone on front of her, hence "The Telephone Room."
[center]--THE CALL--[/center]
Renee Young: Hello ladies and gentlemen, welcome to this week's
segment of The Call. Every Monday I will telephone a member of
the HCW Universe completely selected at random and get a couple
of opinions from the audience of HCW! Let's go ahead and
begin...
Renee Young presses a button on the telephone in front of her
and The Call is underway. After a couple rings, the phone is
picked up on the other side.
Random Dude: Hello?
Renee Young: Hello, good evening, this is Renee Young. I am
calling from-
Random Dude: OH MY GOD! I know exactly who you are! Hi, how are
you?
Renee Young: I am fine. Thank you. What is your name?
Random Dude: My name is Brahiam R. Dorado
Renee Young: That is a beautiful name. I love it.
Brahiam R. Gutierrez: Thank you. I love you!
Renee Young: HaHa. Thank you. Well, Brahiam, would you be
interested in answering three questions concerning HCW
programming?
Brahiam R. Gutierrez: I'd love to.
Renee Young: Great. Thank you. The idea here is that with the
use of random sampling, we can get an idea of what the HCW
Universe thinks of the current events in this promotion. First
question, who is your favorite HCW competitor?
Brahiam R. Gutierrez: Oh, that's easy. Seth Rollins. He's
soooooo amazing. I love him... no homo.
Renee Young: Of course. Who is the most hated HCW competitor in
your opinion?
Brahiam R. Gutierrez: Hmm... I dislike Triple H for his
arrogance, but would have to say I hate Cody Rhodes even more.
He's a backstabbing son of a bit-
Renee Young: Okay... last question, if you could change anything
in HCW what would you change?
Brahiam R. Gutierrez: I would break up The Shield.
Renee Young: Why's that?
Brahiam R. Gutierrez: Seth Rollins has too much talent. Way too
much. The things that he could accomplish by himself are
unfathomable. Ambrose and Reigns are only holding him back.
Renee Young: Thank you very much for your opinions Brahiam.
Brahiam R. Gutierrez: Thank you.
Renee Young: Bye.
Young hangs up.
Renee Young: You could be the next member of the HCW Universe
receiving The Call. All you have to do is sign up at
HCW.com/TheWrestlingSpirit and starting next week, you could win
$100,000. David, back to you.
Thank you, Renee. Now, do not miss TWS next week where I will
be running down the Fusion roster with some personal opinions
and expertise. Matt Striker will be interviewing a different
HCW competitor in The Social Media Lounge and Renee Young will
host another edition of The Call. Now, we will leave you with
this week's Power 25, following Survive If I Let You. The
competitor that lands the coveted Number 1 spot will have earned
"The Golden Interview" hosted by me. Thank you very much for
watching and have a great rest of the day.
[center]--POWER 25--
-Week 01-
June 08, 2015[/center]
25.) Shamrock
Despite being the captain of his own team, he didn't really do
much in the Fusion Survivor Series match.
24.) Sami Zayn
He was the first member of Team Daniel Bryan eliminated.
23.) Brodie Lee
Didn't have much of an impact in the Fusion Survivor Series
match. Although, he did serve his purpose in distracting the
referee while Jimmy Jacobs got the job done.
22.) "Stone Cold" Steve Austin
He has the opportunity to earn a spot in the Pot of Gold match.
21.) Goldberg
At Survive If I Let You, he Speared Elijah Burke out of his
boots. Other than that, he didn't do much. He does have an
opportunity to earn a spot in the Pot of Gold match, though.
20.) Scott Steiner
Backstabbed by his brother.
19.) Drew McIntyre
He is not allowing his dark past to stop his momentum. He is
back and he means business.
18.) Jeff Hardy
He had a somewhat decent performance at Survive If I Let You.
17.) Dolph Ziggler
He was outshined in every possible way by his mentor, Triple H.
A good performance by "The Game," however, is beneficiary for
both men.
16.) Kevin Owens
He eliminated the hell out of Sami Zayn.
15.) Umaga w/ Alejandro Estrada
Dominant performance at Survive If I Let You. He eliminated
Jimmy Jacobs, who went on to make the biggest impact in the
match.
14.) Elijah Burke
He had a strong showing. Arguably, he had the best spot in the
Fusion Survivor Series when he delivered a Flying Elbow Drop
onto Goldberg through the announce table.
13.) Vader w/ Bobby Heenan
His dominance is obvious. The way he manhandled Elijah Burke
was something special.
12.) Shane Douglas
The former Universal champion made his presence felt at Survive
If I Let You by making sure Cody Rhodes didn't try anything
funny during his encounter with Taz.
11.) Prince Devitt
He actually eliminated "The Mastodon!" If it wasn't for Bret
Hart's sneakiness, Devitt might have never been eliminated and
we could be having a different story.
10.) Daniel Bryan
While he definitely did not have he best performance of the
night, he captained his own team to victory and even managed to
eliminate Rick Steiner.
09.) Edge
He had tremendous influence in the Collision Survivor Series
match and even managed to get two eliminations. Impressive.
08.) Rick Steiner
The reasons behind Rick Steiner's betrayal on his brother remain
unknown but still he shocked the world and made the biggest
impact yet in his HCW career.
07.) Cody Rhodes
The former Universal champion finally lost the belt. About damn
time.
06.) The Rock
Plain simple... The Rock was robbed. Jimmy Jacobs robbed him of
the opportunity to get ultimate revenge! Instead, he had to
suffer humiliation by passing out to "The Traitor's" finishing
maneuver.
[center]-TOP 5-[/center]
05.) Jimmy Jacobs
Despite being the first man eliminated in the Fusion Survivor
Series match, he still made the largest impact in that same
match.
04.) Triple H
Triple H showed that he still has it. He got a whopping three
eliminations! Not just any eliminations, either. He managed to
take out Daniel Bryan, Jeff Hardy, and Edge! The guy is a
living legend.
03.) Bret Hart
He was the sole survivor for his team. On top of that he got to
beat his nemesis, The Rock, with the Sharpshooter. Doesn't get
much better than that.
02.) Randy Orton
Hands-down the best performance of the night. He is the hottest
thing in the wrestling world right now. That's not only David
Otunga's opinion, that is a fact.
01.) TAZ
New Universal Champion! Duh!
