Blaino VS The Grim Creeper!

Float like a butterfly, sing like a bee, this boxer looks to get a 1-2-3. But instead of three cheers, will there be a funeral march?

The bell rings and Blaino puts up his dukes. Blaino and Creeper circle, Blaino throws some testing jabs, but Creeper keeps his distance. They continue to circle, fans rally up, and Blaino fires off a flurry! Creeper guards and backs up to a corner, and the ref has Blaino back off. Blaino eggs Creeper on, Creeper gets out of the corner, and the two reset. Fans rally again as they circle. Blaino throws more hands but Creeper stays back. Creeper ends up on the ropes, but he ducks a haymaker to get a leg! Roll-up, TWO! Creeper stays low, goes for another leg, but Blaino throws down some punches!

Fans rally as the two reset again, and Creeper is staying low. Creeper wants after the leg again but Blaino is wary. Creeper shoots in again, Blaino throws some quick hands and he ROCKS Creeper! Blaino fires off fast hands and he has Creeper stumbling to ropes! The ref has Blaino back off and Creeper bails out of the ring. Blaino waits while the ref starts the ring count.

The ref reprimands but fans fire up as Creeper brings Blaino around and throws him into more railing! The ref starts another ring count as Creeper stomps Blaino against the railing. Creeper leaves Blaino behind at 4 of 10 and slides into the ring. Creeper soaks up the cheers and jeers while Blaino drags himself up with the railing.

Blaino staggers over at 6 of 10, leans against the apron, and rolls in at 8. Creeper is right on him with stomps! The ref counts, Creeper drags Blaino up and whips him to ropes. Creeper then scoops Blaino, but Blaino slips free to ROCK him with another right! Fans fire up while both men stagger. Blaino storms up but Creeper THROAT CHOPS!

Fans rally as Blaino endures! Creeper tells the ref to ask Blaino if he quits, the ref does ask and Blaino shakes his head. Creeper reaches out to hold ropes for more leverage! Fans boo, but Creeper lets go before the ref sees. Creeper digs his elbow into Blaino’s ribs, the ref asks Blaino again but again Blaino shakes his head. Creeper reaches out again, for more leverage with the ropes! The fans boo, and the ref almost catches Creeper!

The ref suspects something and talks with Creeper. Creeper defends his innocence, but then Blaino powers up to hip toss free! Fans fire up while Blaino staggers back. Creeper gets to his feet, Blaino JABS! And JABS! A one-two, then another one two! Blaino fires off body shots and fans fire up as he backs Creeper down! Blaino fires up and reels back, but Creeper STOMPS Blaino’s foot! Blaino clutches that leg and Creeper shoots around to waistlock, for a DANGEROUS SAIDO! Creeper stalks Blaino while fans are torn. Blaino staggers up, into a REAR NAKED CHOKE! Creeper drops back to have body scissors! Blaino fails, but he’s caught! Blaino taps, Creeper wins!

Winner: The Grim Creeper, by submission (advances to Clash of Fates)

The #CreeperSleeper puts away the punchy Blaino, but he isn’t letting go! The ref tells him to let off, Creeper lets off about five seconds after that. Fans boo as Creeper heads up the ramp, soaking it all in as he goes. Wait, who’s that on stage now? Ted Beedle Ossi? What’s he doing here? Creeper wonders, too, and then Beedle holds out an UnderWorld Order shirt! Fans are torn again, and Creeper accepts! Creeper is now UWO! Beedle raises Creeper’s hand in victory, and the two head out. Will the UWO take over HPW through the Clash of Fates?

Avalaunch VS Thunderbird!

Big, blocky and bulky, #Dekudon promised to “crush, smash, mash, bash and otherwise break whoever” he is up against! Will he start doing just that here tonight? Or will El Pájaro Enmascarado, The Masked Bird, fly high overhead?

The bell rings and the two circle. They tie up, Thunderbird waistlocks but Avalaunch wrenches to an ELBOW BREAKER. Thunderbird rolls and gets away and fans rally up. The two tie up again, Avalaunch wrenches the arm but Thunderbird headlocks to a takeover. Avalaunch headscissors but Thunderbird kips free and the two stand off. Fans rally as the two circle again. They feel things out, tie up, and Avalaunch is after the arm again. Avalaunch wrenches to clamp onto the shoulder, steps over, and hooks Thunderbird down with a leg. Thunderburd endures, fights around, kips up, but Avalunch wrangles Thunderbird down.

Thunderbird rolls, bridges, breaks free but Avalunch deflects the dropkick! Avalaunch headlocks, Thunderbird powers up but can’t power out as Avalaunch holds tight.

Hot and cold, fire and ice, it is a battle as old as time, and now it happens here in the ring! Will the cold-blooded Freezlord bring an early Winter? Or will the Lava Lord start a second Summer sizzle?

Yunobo VS Dinalfos!

A third generation Goron wrestler takes on a physical specimen who set a new standard at the Training Center. This is truly a big way to end the Stampede, who will be the final Dark Horse heading to the Coliseum?

Yunobo is a bit shy as he makes his entrance, and also slow rolls into the ring. Dinalfos gets in Yunobo’s face, and Yunobo gulps before putting on a tough face.

Yunobo’s rage is getting the better of him as he drags Dinalfos up. Yunobo whips but Dinalfos reverses, and Yunobo goes crashing into steel steps! The steps go tumbling away! Fans rally up as hard they can and Yunobo staggers up to his feet. And then Dinalfos SPEARS him through railing!! Fans lose their minds and even commentary is completely stunned by it! But the ring count is still climbing! The ref hits TEN, it’s a DOUBLE COUNT OUT!!

Double Count Out Draw

Fans are going nuts again, and some are upset! What does a draw mean for the Dark Horse Stampede? Speaking of upset, Dinalfos and Yunobo get up and keep throwing hands! Did they not hear the bell? They go around commentary and Dinalfos RAMS Yunobo into the apron! Yunobo CLUBS and hammers Dinalfos, security rushes out to stop this! Wait, here comes HPW COO, Humpback Hook Halibut! Hook’s very involved in the HPW Training Center which many of these Dark Horses pass through. Hook talks with the ref and the ring announcer. And as the announcer tells us, Hook has decided this draw means BOTH men advance to Clash of Fates!!

Fans cheer again and this news helps calm Dinalfos and Yunobo down. So now we have five Dark Horses entering the Hyrule Warriors match despite the field only being eight. Then will Dinalfos and Yunobo be able to settle this fight within the massive battle royal? Will any of the Dark Horses make it to the end?

My Thoughts:

I did my best to get this done a bit quickly, in anticipation of Clash of Fates being a bigger endeavor because of the Hyrule Warriors match, but also because my schedule’s rather busy and I wanted to make sure I didn’t wait until the last minute. It was a bit trickier to really give these matches what felt good to me, but at the same time, these “Dark Horses” are supposed to be newer/younger wrestlers, they aren’t at the top of the card, so none of these matches should be matching championship caliber stuff. Also full disclosure, I changed up my choice on the final match as I was putting it together because I felt it’d be a shame for one of them to lose.

The Clash of Fates is on the horizon, and a stampede has begun. But some lowdown barrel boarders had to barge in and bully their way into things.

Will Mr. Eventide already have the edge on the Hero of Hyrule? Or will we see that The Studly Don’t Quit? HPW Dark Horse Stampede 3 starts now!

Mixed 10 Person Tag: The Arrow Club VS Link & TSDQ!

From Ruto retaining the Goddess Championship to Fin Balure & The Young Ducks retaining the World Trios Championships, to #YunoBro winning this year’s Eventide Challenge, Arrow Club seemingly has it all. But that means they also have beef! Will Arrow Club still be feeling Too Sweet? Or will The Hero of Hyrule, The Thief Girl & The Studly Guys show Arrow Club isn’t ready for the Clash of Fates?

Both teams have great coordinate ring gear, Arrow Club wearing black and gold because they have a lot of gold, while Link and TSDQ went with green and white. The teams sort out, and while Fin wants to start, Yunobo pushes forward and calls out Link! Link steps forward and the fans fire up for this Triforce World Championship preview! The bell rings, the two circle, and the fans rally up. They tie up, and Yunobo powers Link right to an open corner. The ref counts, Yunobo lets off at 4 but he doesn’t step back.

Hyrule Warriors Qualifier: ??? VS ???

The Faces of Evil may have ruined things for Freezlord, Avalaunch, Blaino & The Great Boomerang, but they will be facing the repercussions in the ring! However, neither side knows who is facing who until the music hits! Who sets the pace for this race between the FOE and the Dark Horses?

First out for The FOE is… Harlequin! The boisterous Bokoblin and de facto leader of The Faces of Evil looks to lead off, but who will he be facing? The barking theme song reveals it is Rod Wyler! Will The Greatest Wossler in the World whip respect into this joker? Or will Harlequin be laughing all the way to the bank?

The bell rings and the two circle. They feel things out, going for knuckle locks, but Harlequin keeps switching hands, left then right and back again.

Harlequin then runs up to CANNON-BOAR! Harlequin rolls back from the inverted cannonball, reels Rod in, and DDTs! Rod is stuck with butt in the air! Harlequin pushes him over to cover, TWO!! Rod survives being spiked and the fans fire up! Harlequin SLAPS Harlequin on the back of the head! The fans boo, but Harlequin talks trash on Rod. Harlequin pie faces Rod, and Rod gets mad. The fans rally as Rod stands up.

Harlequin pie faces Rod again, shouts “You suck!” then SPITS at Rod! Rod glares at Harlequin and fans tell Harlequin he messed up! Rod rushes Harlequin and fires furious fists! The fans fire up while Harlequin can barely guard! Rod has Harlequin in a corner, hammers away on him, but the ref counts! Rod won’t listen so the ref has to pull him away. The fans boo, Rod jukes past the ref, but Harlequin throat chops him! The fans boo more as the ref misses that, and Harlequin grabs Rod in a dragon sleeper! TWISTED SENSE OF HUMOR! Cover, Harlequin wins!

Winner: Harlequin, by pinfall (advances to Clash of Fates)

And another Dark Horse falls! Harlequin leads the way for his league of lunatics, will they start to take over the Clash of Fates?

Hyrule Warriors Qualifier: ??? VS ???

Round one goes to the Faces of Evil, but there are still more matches to be had. Up next for the FOE: Militron! Who will the Armored Annihilator look to annihilate? It’s… ARMOS KNIGHT! A fitting match-up here, but who proves they are the better behemoth?

The bell rings and the fans rally as the two circle. They feel things out, knuckle lock, and have a Test of Strength. They go shoulder to shoulder, and the fans rally as they end up in a deadlock. Militron starts bending Armos back, but Armos powers up to stand up! Now Armos starts bending Militron back! The fans fire up, Militron looks a bit panicked, and he drops back to MONK- NO, Armos is a bit big to flip! They teeter back, and Militron goes up to then fall back again! MONKEY FLIP!

Armos digs his shoulder in, the ref reprimands, but Armos lets off to whip corner to corner. Militron bounces off buckles, and Armos whips him back the other way! Militron again bounces off buckles, and Armos fireman’s carries for a GORON DROP! Cover, TWO! Armos is annoyed but he drags Militron up. The fans rally as Armos wrenches an arm, CLUBS the arm, then wrenches again. Militron ROCKS Armos with a right, but Armos holds on to wrench the arm again.

Armos CLUBS the arm, whips Militron, but Militron holds onto ropes. Armos storms up but Militron BOOTS him! Militron runs up, and he TACKLES Armos through the ropes! Both big men tumble to the floor while the fans fire up! The ref checks, and Militron is already back up on his feet. Armos is still in this and the fans rally up. Militron drags Armos up, and he whips Armos hard into the barriers! Armos slumps down while fans boo Militron. Militron tells them to shut up, then he takes aim at Armos. Militron runs to CANNONBALL Armos against barriers! The front row has to move back a bit, and the fans boo more.

The ring count is climbing, but Militron refreshes it. Militron goes back to Armos, drags him up and in, and fans rally for Armos as Militron looms over him. Militron slaps Armos on the back of the head and taunts him. Militron keeps slapping Armos, and Armos slowly sits up. Militron scuffs Armos, and Armos is getting mad.

The fans boo but Militron kicks low. Militron reels Armos in, but Armos fights the lift! Armos wrenches out, ducks Militron’s punch, and clinches for an URENAGE! And SENTON! The fans fire up with Armos as he rises! Armos waits on Militron to get up, pumping up an arm as he waits. Militron slowly rises, Armos runs and builds speed, to LARIAT! Cover, TWO!! Armos can’t believe Militron is still in this! The fans fire up for Armos as he thinks of what else to do. Armos drags Militron up, brings him to a corner, and hoists him up top. Armos climbs, the fans rally, and Armos brings Militron up, only for Militron to throw body shots!

Armos steps down to the second rope, and Militron HEADBUTTS him! Armos wobbles, Militron brings him back in, and hooks a leg! SUPER FISHERMAN BUSTER!! The fans lose their minds while both big men are down! Militron slowly rises, and he goes over to Armos. Militron drags Armos up, reels him in, and suplexes, for the PILEDRIVER!! Cover, Militron wins!

Armos is hit by “The Devastator,” and the fans are devastated that another Face of Evil has won! The FOE improve their odds, will the remaining Dark Horses be able to stop the others?

Hyrule Warriors Qualifier: ??? VS ???

Two down and two to go, The Faces of Evil are winning 2-0! Will they make it three in a row? Or can the Dark Horses turn the tables?

The third FOE is… GLUTKO! And for the Dark Horses, it’s… CRAGMA! As if the previous match-up wasn’t beefy, this one is bulky! But which hoss will suffer loss while the other advances to the Clash of Fates?

Cragma roars, the fans fire up more, and Cragma aims at Glutko again. Glutko rises up, Cragma runs in, but Glutko stifles his spear with his massive gut!

Hyrule Warriors Qualifier: ??? VS ???

It all comes down to this! By process of elimination, we know that the final Face of Evil is Lupay, and the final Dark Horse is the returning Lad from Labrynna! Will the Wild Wolfos put FOE on top? Or will we Ralph-a become the Alpha?

The bell rings and the fans rally for Ralph as he and Lupay circle. The two tie up, Lupay headlocks, but Ralph wrenches, hammerlocks then headlocks. Lupay powers up and out, but Ralph runs him over! The fans cheer, things keep moving, and Lupay drops down to then DROPKICK! Lupay handsprings up and the fans fire up! Lupay stands Ralph up to ROCK him with a forearm, then CHOP him at the ropes.

Direct hit and down into the chairs!! The fans are thunderously losing their minds and referee Tiger Sahasrahla hurries to check on both men. The chants for “LU~PAY!” “RALPH! are at their loudest as Lupay rises from the floor! But Ralph also stands, and staggers his way back to ringside. Lupay catches up and puts Ralph in the ring.

Lupay coughs from how hard he landed! Lupay has to crawl back to cover, TWO!!! Ralph survives and the fans are electric!

Winner: Ralph, by pinfall (advances to Clash of Fates)

An absolute epic that no one knew these two had in them! What a way to end the Stampede! And now, two Faces of Evil and two Dark Horses are heading towards The Clash of Fates! But are any of these four fated to go all the way to the end and become a Hyrule Warrior?

My Thoughts:

Finally getting one done before the last minute, but it was still tricky deciding who would go over in each match-up. I knew Ralph would from the start to make up for his time away, but I wasn’t sure if FOE should have a dominating 3-1 or let things be even. I hope I captured some of that Brock Lesnar VS Goldberg kind of feeling for Glutko VS Cragma. Y’know, hard hitting yet short match between two massive opponents. Now, on to the fifth Clash of Fates, which is going to again be big time.

Musical Chairs S4: E5- Alice In Chains & Rainbow [091724]

Musical Chairs returns for Episode 5 of Season 4. This week, the guys cover Alice In Chains and Rainbow!

Published

3 days ago

September 17, 2024

David Ungar

Patrick returns to Musical Chairs as the guys cover two more epic bands from the pages of rock’s history book. For several weeks now, Patrick has made it known that he planned on covering Alice In Chains for his next band, and that would come to pass with this Episode. Formed in the late 80s, Alice In Chains rose to rock prominence in the early 90’s with some of the most iconic songs from that entire era. Despite losing one of the most recognizable frontmen of that time frame (Layne Staley), the band has forged on and is still making great music to this day. Dave, on the other hand, covers Rainbow. After leaving Deep Purple, Ritchie Blackmore created Rainbow, and despite an ever-changing lineup of singers and band members, Rainbow certainly left its mark and became a staple of the early days of MTV. It’s another great installment of Musical Charis that you won’t want to miss.

Today’s hosts: Dave Ungar (@AttitudeAgg) and Patrick O’ Dowd (@WrestlngRealist)

Episode 5 of Season 4 of Musical Chairs focuses on Alice In Chains & Rainbow
