Steve had finally done it, he had dethroned James Tuscini and won the SCW Roulette Championship at High Stakes VI ending James’s second title reign in the process, Steve spent the next two weeks celebrating his win on a Tropical Island with Kaylee and a bunch of other women and yes, he was celebrating in the same way that you are thinking off! He wasn’t at Climax Control last Sunday but he did send a video message to SCW HQ to announce the Steve Ramone Open Invitational, however the bosses had other ideas.
Out of the blue they announced Steve’s on again, off again rival Ryan Keys as the Number 1 Contender for the Roulette Championship in a match that would presumably take place at the first Supercard of the New Year but before that would happen the two men would meet this week on Climax Control in a Non-Title Match, Steve hasn’t said much about the match but apparently he’s against Ryan Keys getting the shot in the first place but that hasn’t stopped the bosses before but now they were set to face off, can Steve continue his winning ways?

It’s great being champ again! Something that Ryan Keys will never experience.
If you’re an SCW fan and missed High Stakes VI for whatever reason, go back and watch it before you continue my promo because I don’t want the fact that I have won back the Roulette Title from James Tuscini avenging my earlier loss in the process and basically meaning that I was going into 2017 as a champion for the first time in years.
Add in the fact that the bosses completely ignored my open invitational announcement and went ahead and announced Ryan Keys as the number one contender and I’ve had a mixed couple of weeks! I mean seriously, what has this punk done to deserve a shot at my title? Sure, it’s been argued by idiots that Jessie didn’t earn her recent shot at the World Bombshell Championship but I can easily point to the body of work she’s put into her SCW career and tell you to shut it! Ryan on the other hand?
Okay, yeah, I cost him his title match against James Tuscini during the lead up to High Stakes VI but I did that for his own good! The only way Ryan would be on the same level as a champion in any division is if Despayre’s fucking teddy bear somehow won a belt!
Then again considering that one of my allies in a Steam Game I’ve been playing recently called Maize is a grumpy, foul mouthed, high tech Russian teddy bear nothing surprised me about those things anymore! And no, that’s not the weirdest thing about the game and I don’t know what drugs the developers where on during the game making process either!
Anyway, why am I at a restaurant? Why the fuck not? It’s capping off the celebrations we’ve been having ever since the Roulette Title win, we got back from the tropical island and after making sure the other women who you saw in my segment got home safely (they were Kaylee’s friends in the porn industry, you get no prizes for guessing what their jobs are) we traveled to Reno for this week’s Climax Control, and if you’re wondering, no, Christian didn’t give me an earful for missing last week’s show, why?
1: I still sent in a pre-taped segment 2: I had booked my time off for the trip as soon as my rematch with James was confirmed, that’s right, I was so confident that I was going to win back my title that I booked my celebration trip in advance, the fact that my game of tempting fate worked just makes the great time we had all the better!
“So, have we decided on the starters yet?” I asked as I looked up from my menu, Kaylee was sitting next to me whilst Andreas and Cyrus where sitting across from us. “I’m thinking either the Seared Scallops or the Salmon and Crab Cakes.”
“Scallops, really?” Cyrus asked as he lowered his menu. “Steve, do you remember what happened the last time you ate scallops?”
“I got food poisoning, yeah, I know.” I responded as I rolled my eyes. “Thankfully it wasn’t during a week that I was competing on Climax Control.”
“Wasn’t that during the Supercard break for Summer XXXTreme or am I thinking about Into the Void?” Andreas wondered out loud and I shook my head in response.
“It was during the break for Into the Void, trust me, I have not so fond memories of spending most of the night puking my guts out all over ensuite.” I responded with a wince. “I’m still not sure what was worse, explaining it to the 911 operator or the cleaning ladies when they came to investigate the noise because they thought I was dying, definitely felt like it.”
“Even more reason to skip the scallops and go for the crab and salmon cakes, that’s what I’m going for.” Cyrus responded and I shook my head.
“When we ate the scallops last time it was in a dingy seafood restaurant.” I responded before looking around the place. “This place on the other hand? I feel confident ordering scallops from here.”
“Fine but you’re paying the hospital bill.” Cyrus responded as he shook his head. “And whilst we’re on the subject, what are you guys having and are we ready to order our main course as well?”
“Yeah, I’d say so.” Kaylee responded with a nod. “For my appetizer I’m having the Seared Pork Belly and for the main I’m going for the duck breast.”
“They do sound good, as for me I’m going for the steamed mussels as my appetizer and the grilled pork chop as my main.” Andreas decided as he set down the menu. “That just leaves you two.”
“I haven’t had ravioli in a while so I’ll go with the Wild Mushroom Truffle Ravioli.” Cyrus decided once he looked at the menu before turning to me. “That just leaves you Steve.”
“I want something big and hearty so that I feel ready for my match on Sunday.” I responded before looking at the steak section. “And for that reason I’m going for the Rib-Eye.”
“Steve, your logic is so backwards that it makes the average Trump Supporter look like Einstein by comparison!” Cyrus responded with n annoyed sigh as he ran a hand down his face. “You should go for something lighter instead, yeah I know the match isn’t until Sunday night but we’re talking about a 14oz Ribeye here and there’s also the fact that your match is the fifth one on the card!”
“Cyrus, it’s Ryan Keys we’re talking about, I could eat enough food to feed the entire continent of Africa before this match and still beat him.” I responded as I rolled my eyes getting a laugh out of the others in the process, the waitress arrived a few seconds later to take our orders and once she did that and walked off I turned to the others. “So we’ve agreed that we’re all chipping in on the bill, what about tipping the waitress.”
“I think she’d complain about being tipped upside down.” Andreas responded with a deadpan expression on his face and we laughed. “Seriously though, she’s treated us all right since we got here, I say we tip her at least ten dollars.”
“Sounds good, I’ll take care of that myself.” Cyrus responded after he quickly checked the contents of his wallet. “Speaking of restaurants, isn’t Hell’s Kitchen returning tonight?”
“You mean from the second sports related delay of the season?” I asked and Cyrus nodded. “I’ve got it DVRed back at the hotel so we should be able to watch it tomorrow at some point, any idea who’ll be eliminated?”
“Hard to say at this point, if Johnny had somehow avoided being eliminated last time around I’d say him which sucks because I had him pegged as a Black Jacket based on his early performances.” Kaylee responded before she took aa sip of her drink. “Then again that was before he got exposed as the biggest asshole since Season 8’s Russel, just not as talented.”
“Yeah, he lost all support from me the moment he started bullying the Red Team.” Cyrus responded as he shook his head. “I can understand getting a little competitive, hell I’m sure me, Steve and Andreas can understand it since we are all wrestlers, but being a chef is a lot different from being a wrestler, I can’t believe I just said that out loud being still.”
“Well if nothing else we were right about Ryan and Heidi making it to Black Jackets, Paulie I’m not so sure about unless he ends up in a similar situation to Manda from Season 15 and Josh from Season 14.” Cyrus responded with a frown. “As in a consistently mediocre performer at best gets to the Black Jackets because the only competition stopping them from doing that was even worse.”
“You mean like Frank from Season 15.” I responded and Cyrus frowned.
“All I’m going to say about that moron if that I’m glad that his comments cost him his job with the marines since that means he can’t go around giving the Armed Forces a bad name,” Cyrus responded just as our appetizers arrived, once we finished those (and before you ask I don’t feel sick, yet) and we continued chatting along until the entrees came, naturally I devoured the steak in a few minutes and once we were done and received the bill from the waitress Cyrus started adding it up. “Okay, Steve your meal comes to $46, mine comes to $35, Kaylee, yours also comes to $35 and Andreas, yours comes to $36, so $152 in total.”
“Good thing I just got my paycheck from High Stakes VI.” I responded before putting fifty dollars down and the others did likewise. “Speaking of SCW, any objections to me leaving early to do my promo?”
“Go ahead, we’ll explain to the waitress if she sees you outside.” Cyrus responded and I walked out of the restaurant, the waitress did try to stop me but she backed off when I told her that the whole group was contributing to the bill and we were ready to pay her and once I was outside I got ready to do my promo.
“You know, when I had set my sights on the Roulette Title again, I had done a lot of shit in the months leading up to it, challenged the then Internet Champion Rage to a match that had Kain shoehorned in? Check! Competed for a chance at the World Championship? Check! Defeated Ryan Keys in a Triple Threat Match by outsmarting him? Double check, so why the fuck has management decided that Ryan Keys is the Number One Contender for my Roulette Championship?”
Didn’t they get the message last time I was in a ring with that idiot?
“And before you say anything about the fact that he also has a pin-fall victory over me and that I cost him the Roulette Championship when he challenged James the following week, come on! Do you think James would’ve been pinned by Ryan’s weak-ass finisher? That thing’s just one step above the various claw holds that have been used throughout wrestling history and the only reason he has a pin-fall win over me in the first place was because I was toying with him.”
Not this time.
“Ryan, I’d make a joke about what favors you gave Christian to get the Number 1 Contendership in the first place but considering his recent temper tantrum that would be asking for trouble! But on the other hand, I honestly can’t think of any other reason why you got this shot so I’m here to set the record straight, you are not on my level Ryan! You’re not even in the same league as me! All you are is a male stripper and the reasons Christian hired you in the first place are as obvious as the reasons he hired Justin back when the company opened, difference is? Justin knows better than to compete in a match!”
And no, the one match against J2H a few years back doesn’t count.
“You may have some flashy moves Ryan, no pun intended, but you are all flash and no sustenance! You are like that Asian Masterchef contestant from Season 4 of the US Version who consistently plated beautiful looking plates that lacked seasoning! How he got past the Auditions is anyone’s guess but my comparison still stands! This week you will be exposed and not in the way you are used too or the way Christian and numerous female fans would enjoy, you’ll be exposed as the bad wrestler you are when I kick your ass!”
And with that I decided to wrap things up.
“The world is full of kings and queens, who blind your eyes and steal your dreams! That line is from my favorite Black Sabbath record, the title track from the Heaven and Hell album and I can’t think of a more fitting description for our current situation, can you? No, off course not! Ryan, this Sunday I will be the king who’ll blind your eyes and steal your dreams when I kick your ass so hard that you won’t be able to sit down for a week, something I’m sure your used to by now! This message has been paid for and delivered by “The Fearless One” Steve Ramone as I show the world why Christian’s eye candy doesn’t make worthy challengers!”
I was joined by the others and we got in the car as the scene fades.
