Heartland Championship Wrestling proudly presents:
February 2, 2019
Fogelman Arena, New Orleans, Louisiana
The show opens with the tune, "Calm Like A Bomb" by Rage Against The Machine playing overhead. EPICDAVE enters the arena to the cheers of the fans. He is joined by RANDY 'MACHO MAN' SAVAGE.
EpicDave: Hey, fans! Welcome to Heartland Havoc XC: Calm Like A Bomb.
Savage: Calm is my middle name, brother. Calm like a bomb... yeah! That's me... DIG IT!
EpicDave: It's a big night here in New Orleans, fans! We have four title matches on the card, and lots of NWA action. Randy Savage is the NWA Heavyweight Champion- and we're going to kick things off with an NWA Throwback Match. Later on, we'll crown our inaugural NWA Tag Team Champions, and of course in the Main Event, it will be MOOSE vs. MICHAEL ELGIN for the Ring Of Honor Heavyweight Championship. In the words of my good friend ~KB~, we have a loaded card- so relax, grab yourself a cold one, and enjoy the show!
NWA Throwback Match
LARRY ZBYSZKO vs. THE GREAT MUTA
Muta and Zbyszko battled all over New Orleans! Muta was on point with his rapid-fire kicks and strikes, causing the wily veteran Zbyszko to exit the ring on several occasions. Zbyszko manuevered Muta into the Larryland Sleeper in an effort to slow things down. Muta struggled, but finally escaped with a spinning back kick. Zbyszko rolled out to the floor again with Muta in pursuit. The two foes traded blows, and Muta let fly with the Green Mist! Zbyszko was ready, and ducked away from the toxic shower unharmed. But as the mist cleared, the referee completed the ten count and both men were counted out.
RESULT: DOUBLE COUNTOUT
EpicDave: Zbyszko had his opponent scouted well tonight.
Savage: The Living Legend is a smart cookie. YEAH!
Heartland Ladies' Tag Team Championship
THE BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE (c) vs. NICOLE SAVOY & SHAYNA BASZLER
The challengers were at their brutal best. Early in the match, the MMA Squad isolated Madison and went right to work. Savoy kicked the stuffings out of Madison, then tagged in Baszler. Shayna quickly locked Madison into the Arm Bar and forced the submission!
WINNERS: BASZLER AND SAVOY
NICOLE SAVOY & SHAYNA BASZLER CAPTURE THE HEARTLAND LADIES' TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP
EpicDave: Wow! A dominant performance by Nicole and Shayna. They took those titles with authority!
Savage: That's a couple of bad mamas. They could hold them championships for a long, long time.
ZACK SABRE. JR. vs. CHUCK TAYLOR
The elegant grappling of Sabre was no match for Chuck Taylor and his uninhibited violence. After enduring Zack's Cross Arm Breaker, Taylor tossed Sabre out of the ring and beat him to a pulp on the arena floor. Sabre took a lot of punishment, but when Taylor executed the Cross Crab around the ring post, Sabre was reduced to screaming in pain! By the time Taylor unwound the hold, Sabre was a broken man, And Taylor put Zack away with the Awful Waffle.
WINNER: CHUCK TAYLOR
Savage: What a ruthless dude! I think I like this kid.
EpicDave: I think Taylor surprised a lot of people here tonight. Chuckie T and DREW GALLOWAY have made a big name for themselves here in 2019.
NWA Special Challenge Tag Team Match
KERRY & DAVID VON ERICH vs. THE ROCK 'N ROLL EXPRESS
Action was fast and furious between these popular teams! The Rock 'N Rolls were all over Kerry, bringing the crowd to a frenzy as Ricky and Robert pelted him with dropkicks. Kerry survived several near falls, but it looked like trouble when Robert locked in the Gibson Leglock! David Von Erich had seen enough, and he finally stormed the ring. Morton tried to intercept him, but David hammered Ricky with a running knee smash! The referee was caught up with Morton, allowing David to nail Robert with a huge boot to the head! David rolled his brother on top of Robert and slid out of the ring, and the referee made the three count!
WINNERS: THE VON ERICHS
EpicDave: What a move by David Von Erich! The Texas boys pick up a surprise victory in a match where they were clearly getting beaten.
Savage: None of them Von Erich boys have ever been known for their brains. But outsmarting Robert Gibson ain't actually a tough task, ya know.
EpicDave: Wow- controversial comments from the NWA World Heavyweight Champion. All right, fans- we have three more matches tonight- and titles will be on the line in all of them!
Queen of the Indies Championship
TESSA BLANCHARD (c) vs. SARAYA KNIGHT
Two of the toughest ladies the sport has ever seen threw down in a battle that didn't disappoint. Both competitors gave as good as they got, and fought to the point of exhaustion before Saraya trapped Tessa in the Knightmare to force the submission!
WINNER: SARAYA KNIGHT
SARAYA KNIGHT REGAINS THE QUEEN OF THE INDIES CHAMPIONSHIP
EpicDave: Ladies and gentlemen, history has been made here in New Orleans! Saraya Knight is once again the Queen Of The Indies! The intensity between these two rivals is unbelievable- but tonight Saraya prevailed and once again she is the Queen!
Savage: Yeah! Not only did Saraya beat Tessa tonight- she made the champion tap out! I ain't easily impressed, EpicDave- but it takes a heckuva fight to make a world champion submit. Dig it?
EpicDave: Without a doubt!
NWA Tag Team Championship: Tournament Final
TULLY BLANCHARD & ARN ANDERSON vs. THE STEINER BROTHERS
Steinermania comes to New Orleans! Rick and Scotty were in perfect form tonight, and they decimated the Horsemen! Tully fell prey to a barrage of double-team moves, capped off by a Steiner Dog that nearly left Tully in a coma. Arn saved his partner, only to eat a Steinerline from Scotty. The fans came to their feet as the Steiners set up Arn for a Super DDT and the pinfall victory!
WINNERS: THE STEINER BROTHERS
THE STEINER BROTHERS WIN THE NWA TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP
Savage: Feel the madness! Them Steiner Brothers can knock the stuffin's out of anybody!
EpicDave: You got that right, champ. Congratulations to Rick and Scotty for winning the tournament and capturing the NWA Tag Team Championship! The Steiners mowed down every team in their path and they have earned the right to be crowned the Heartland's first-ever NWA Tag Champs. Good job, guys! All right, fans- it's time for your Main Event- and the Ring Of Honor Heavyweight Championship is on the line!
Main Event: Ring of Honor Heavyweight Championship
MOOSE (c) vs. MICHAEL ELGIN
The battle of the behemoths! Moose and Elgin beat the living daylights out of each other for nearly twenty minutes. Elgin delivered two crushing Buckle Bombs to Moose in the early going, and Moose was shaken. Moose took the fight to the floor, risking a countout, but Elgin smartly pitched Moose back into the ring to keep the match going. Elgin rolled into the ring, but Moose came off the ropes with a Pounce and nailed Elgin! Both men were a little loopy, but Moose got to his feet first and drilled Elgin with a Spear to score the pinfall!
WINNER: MOOSE
MOOSE RETAINS THE RING OF HONOR HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP
EpicDave: What a slobberknocker! Congratulations to MOOSE for coming out on top and retaining the Ring Of Honor Heavyweight Championship! Moose and Elgin have been battling it out for months- both these men are powerhouses and they have developed a mutual respect. Both men put it all on the line tonight, and it is great to see the display of sportmanship as these two gladiators share a handshake in the center of the ring. All right, fans- we're done here. Thanks for joining us for Heartland Havoc XC: Calm Like A Bomb. Three new champions tonight! Congratulations to SARAYA KNIGHT, THE STEINER BROTHERS, and SHAYNA BASZLER & NICOLE SAVOY for bringing home the gold tonight. Heartland will be back in action next Saturday night with more exciting action. That's our show, and I AM OUTTA HERE!
