YEAR 1 - TOUR 1 – WEEK 1
(CARD 1)
(CARD 1)
Show opens with an aerial shots of flying over the Missouri River, Omaha and then over the cornfields. As the shot crests a large hill, we get the first shot of a large imposing building in the middle of an acreage. As the drone crashes into the building, four words take over the screen.
WELCOME TO THE TEMPLE!
Camera’s pan the voracious crowd, chanting H-C-W! H-C-W!
“Welcome, believers to my temple! My name is Dario Cuerto and I am the proprietor of Heartland Championship Wrestling and this beautiful temple.
Tonight we start the pilgrimage to greatness. Our temple doors are open to any competitor that thinks he has the moxy to excel in the ring. Each week our wrestlers will have “unique opportunities” to climb that stairway to greatness …. and the HCW Championships.
All I ask of them is to bring the violence and the desire to reach out and grab that golden ring!
Tonight, we start the quest for the HWC gold. Now, if the Melissa Santos will call our first competitors to the ring, I must excuse myself to take care of business!
“The Bass God” Gringo Loco vs Jacob Fatu
If the first match of HCW is any indicator of what is to come, We are in for something special. Loco showed no fear going up against the Samoan monster. They traded blows back and forth with Loco getting a few quick pin-fall attempts in early. Fatu’s frustrations mounted and the match was then taken to the floor where the two men brawled all over the Temple. The end came when Fatu powerbombed Loco through the announcer’s table.
WINNER BY COUNT OUT: JACOB FATU
6-Man tag team match: Jay white & Undisputed Era vs PCO & Briscoe Brothers
Little preview match of what is coming up on our next card. Match started off slow with all participants tagging in and showing off what they bring to the table. The end came when PCO ‘crashed and burned’ after a missed senton from the top rope and Jay White hit ‘switchblade” for the 1-2-3.
WINNERS BY PIN-FALL: Jay White & Undisputed Era.
“The Belt Collector” Kenny Omega vs Beer City Bruiser
Very one sided affair. Omega was just two quick for the Bruiser, putting him away with ‘One Winged Angel’.
WINNER BY PIN-FALL: KENNY OMEGA
Omega arrogantly walked to the back, but stopped and made a beeline for Darrio’s office.
KENNY OMEGA (pushing one of Cuerto’s men through the door) El Jeffe, hope I am not intruding, but as you just saw, I am YOUR superstar.
DARRIO: Please, come in … unannounced … interrupting me.
KO: There is one spot left in the tag team tournament. I want it.
DC: Kenny, but you are in the tournament for the heavyweight championship?
KO: I am the belt collector. Everywhere I go, I win championships.
DC: That is why I brought you here to my Temple. Only the best can perform here.
KO: I will be YOUR champion. I want both belts.
DC: Well then, I guess I will have to give you a unique opportunity. I am going to give you that spot. However, I am going to choose your partner.
KO: I don’t think so.
DC: Don’t interrupt me again! You will form a team with your fellow countryman … “Unbreakable” Michael Elgin. You are a superstar and deserve a partner of equal talent. You will be MY team. The ‘Alpha and Omega’ of the tag team world, if you will.
KO: Do I have a choice?
DC: NO! Since I am being so generous with you; pairing you with a great partner. This is a very unique opportunity for you. When I call in my favor, I’ll let you know.
KO: Nobody controls me!
DC: Get out of here before I change my mind.
KO: (Staring at Darrio)
DC: I didn’t stutter. Now if you will excuse me, I need to take this call. (picking up the phone) Hola.
Back to ringside with Vampiro and Matt Striker
MS: Vamp, did you believe what we just saw there. Our proprietor just made a team and put them in the tournament.
V: This is getting gnarly. But what is the price Omega is going to pay for making a deal with the boss .. el jeffe.

Walter vs Aleister Black

V: this is why Darrio built this Temple. To give the believers .. the fans … the best wrestling in the world.
MS: Let’s get things going. Melissa Santos, take it away!
TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP TOURNAMENT – ROUND ONE: Young Bucks vs Rush & Bandido
Spectacular match with a ton of high spots. The crowd was deafening as they shook the rafters cheering and jeering the participants. Rush clobbered Matt Jackson with a chair and followed it up with ‘Rush Driver’. As the referee about hit the mat for a third time, Nick made the save and a wild brawl broke out. The Bucks won the brawl and hit ‘Indytaker’ on Bandido to get the victory.
WINNERS: YOUNG BUCKS
HCW HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP TOURNAMENT – ROUND ONE:
Michael Elgin vs Killer Kross
Unbridled violence. These two men brutalized each other inside the ring, and out.
12 tokens had been handed out when Elgin nailed Kross with a spinning backfist for the win.
WINNER: “UNBREAKABLE” MICHAEL ELGIN
TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP TOURNAMENT – ROUND ONE:
Powers of Pain vs Mustache Mountain
In three moves, Tent Seven hit his lariat on Barbarian and made a cover. From there is was just four men showing off their power. After several minutes, Catarina came down to the ring and began directing the Warlord and Barbarian. Warlord power slammed Seven and Barbarian drilled him with his flying headbutt for the 1-2-3.
WINNERS: POWERS OF PAIN.
****MAIN EVENT****
HCW HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP TOURNAMENT – ROUND ONE:
Walter vs Aleister Black
During the introductions, Black grabbed the microphone from Santos.
BLACK: I am the leader of the darkness that fills this Temple. I am hatred. I am sorrow. I am war! Walter, you are a man who loves a good fight, what do you say that we make our match a NO DQ match! Let the believers revel in our bloodshed. Send a message to the locker room that we are the most dangerous men in the world of wrestling.
WALTER: Aliester, I have know you for years. We have waged wars in rings just like this all across Europe. I –
CUETO: Wait just one minute. (exiting his office) I am el jeffe ...THE BOSS. I decide the types of matches. You two want to wage war!?!? Then war you shall have … only your match will be a BELIEVERS WITH A STRAP MATCH! (several masked men began handing straps to those in the front row) Every time you two leave the ring, my believers, you may strike these men with your straps!!!!
The match of the night. They showed why these two men were the favorites to win this tournament. Black with his martial arts strikes and kicks. Walter with his brute power. Both men were covered in welts from the whippings they took from the believers. With each strike the crowd became hotter and hotter; calling for blood to be spilled.
The pin came when Walter power bombed Black in the middle of the ring.
WINNER: WALTER
