We see Stephen Callaway. He's recording himself using a phone.
Stephen Callaway "
This is how crazy Covid has made Gotham!
So what do you think? This enough to get me some Tic Tac followers? Maybe stand in front of a wind machine and call it an Only Fans account?
No.
What I wanted to show you was this."
He turns the camera round and we see the SCW ring set up in the Gold Coast Casino. He runs his hand over the ring apron and the bottom rope before turning the camera back to face himself.
Stephen Callaway "
Full disclosure. I found out a little something something recently."
He doesn't say what. Not yet anyway. Instead we see him make his way up the steel steps with loud footsteps on metal that echo through the empty arena, The ropes squeak slightly as he enters the ring.
Stephen Callaway "
I found out that the rules of travel have been a little laxed. I found out that anyone can travel from the US to the UK for a holiday but it would mean self isolating for two weeks.
I'll be honest, the idea of spending two weeks at home doesn't sound bad. Even if it is two weeks in my own bed where the only contact with my wife is through a wooden door that must remain shut at all times.
And I'll be honest, I thought about it.
There was a gap of two weeks between coming out of High Stakes and going into this upcoming Climax Control where I could easily have said to management 'that's it. I'm done. I'm going home now'
Instead I didn't.
I don't know why.
Maybe I felt the need to see this year out. Maybe I never found the ideal moment in the first week and by the start of the second I was booked on this show. And you should know by now that I don't back out of a show I'm not booked on.
It was the perfect time too. I had gotten a big win at High Stakes and it was the best way to go, literally on a high.
But I didn't.
And who knows? Maybe some hower power has decided that I should be here a little longer.
I'll be honest, I don't see me being here long. In fact, I don't envision my being here in 2021. If there is a gap, however small, anywhere close to Christmas here in Sin City Wrestling, I'll say it now, I'm gone.
But I could take a parting gift with me.
The currently vacant Roulette Title.
That damn thing has been a bane to me for the best part of 2020. I've fought for it at pay per views for what feels like most of the year.
Mac Bane decided to piss of after winning and, let's face it, there's every chance I could do the same.
But I don't want to go getting ahead of myself. On Sunday night I stand in this ring..."
He turns the camera again and we see the empty ring
Stephen Callaway "
.....and I fight in a four way. I go up against Kedron Williams, Brother David Shepherd and my old friend Bulldog Bob.
I win that and I become the new Roulette Champion. I could walk out of 2020 as Roulette Champion, I could walk out of Sin City as Roulette Champion.
Or I could walk out with nothing. I mean I've got previous.
But I came here because this Sunday could be my last in a ring like this. My last time to stand on the sacred ground in a competitive environment. My last time to stand within the ropes and hear a crowd, however small compared to what it was, cheering me or booing me. The high I get when I come down an isle and compete in the ring is a high that nothing can replace. Not that I've tried to. I've had a lot of highs and a lot of lows between these ropes. I've won championships and suffered injuries. It's been a wild ride and a hell of a rollercoaster.
But it's slowing down.
But who knows? Maybe there's time for one last Roulette Title themed loop d loop.
Only one way to find out."
He taps his head with his index finger in salute before the screen goes black.
