Not only did Steve’s words of wanting to forge his own way to the top of the food chain by way of becoming a Triple Crown Champion when he did win the SCW World Heavyweight Title fall on deaf ears again but Steve lost the Triple Threat Match to determine who would face Dmitri for a shot at J2H’s World Title at Violent Conduct II when Connor pinned him to move on, Connor’s match with Dmitri was taking place this week but his opponents weren’t off the card.
This week there was a Battle Royal to determine who would be Rage’s next challenger for the SCW Internet Championship and Steve was in it alongside Samuel Devereux, there were eight men in total so who were the other six men in the match? Casey Williams, Kain, Ryan Keys, Chris Shipman, Alex Rush and Despayre, several men who had either faced Rage in the past or held titles and a few wild cards thrown in for good measure but despite all of this Steve was determined to be Rage’s next challenger as his repeated challenges for the belt have shown but can Steve finally get his wish?
Kaylee’s uncle’s home, Montreal, Quebec, Canada
Friday the 2nd of September 2016, 18:00pm
There are advantages to having Kaylee as a girlfriend, and no I don’t just mean the amazing sex that we get to have most nights!
You see, Kaylee and her sister might live in Vegas but her family’s Canadian, granted they are a bit stretched out throughout Canada but Kaylee has told me that her family originates from Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, and yeah, the fact that her family is from the same place as one of my opponents is not lost on me! Hell to be honest I was surprised that her family was so accepting off her line of work, at least until she told me that she just tells them that she’s an actress and since none of them watch porn or wrestling except for her she’s been able to keep up the ruse.
At least for now.
Anyway when Kaylee found out that the next stop on SCW’s Canadian Tour was Montreal she called up her uncle and asked if he could lend us a room explaining that me, Cyrus and Andreas were fellow actors and in my case her boyfriend, like I said the rest of her family doesn’t watch wrestling (which is odd because I thought wrestling was Canada’s national past time but that’s beside the point) so he fell for it with her telling him that we had a big show this weekend.
Good thing he’s got a decent sized house to boot, besides, that’s not the only thing on my mind right now.
Technically I have three things on my mind right now, my ongoing divorce case where I hope to turn the tables on Charlotte when we return to Vegas after the Supercard and most importantly the Battle Royal for a shot at the Internet Championship which, if Rage had a single brain cell in his head, I’d already have and we’d probably be doing a contract signing for said match this weekend but no!
Instead we have me competing in a Battle Royal against Samuel Devereux, Kain, Alex Rush, Ryan Keys, Casey Williams, Despayre and Chris Shipman, in other words, James Tuscini’s three failed Summer XXXTreme Challengers, one of the three men I competed against last week, a guy who never should’ve gotten a shot at Rage to begin with, a midget and a one man Ozzy Osbourne Tribute Act!
Really, do I need to point out how I’m the only one in this Battle Royal who’s actually worthy of a title shot?!
I’ll get into more detail about the biggest injustice in wrestling history later but for now I’ll set the scene, I’m sitting out in the garden talking to a private investigator I hired whilst we were in Vegas following Summer XXXTreme to dig up some dirt on Charlotte that I can use during the divorce hearings, really the only thing that he’s specified is that he doesn’t want to testify but my divorce lawyer is confident that we can use his info in court without his testimony, whether it helps my case is another story.
“She slept with how many guys during the World Tour?” I asked as I sat down on a swing chair in the back garden, I was on the phone like I said and had gone out the back for a little privacy. “At least tell me that she didn’t do it with Sophie in the house? Oh good! Only thing is that this brings up the issue with Marcus’s paternity.”
“More Charlotte drama?” Kaylee asked as she walked up to me with a drink in her hand, this might shock you but she was dressed modestly for once namely in a Gojira shirt that she brought from Bloodstock and blue jeans but then again that was more to do with the fact that she was trying to keep the nature of her acting work a secret from her family, anyway I motioned for her to give me a moment to finish talking and she sat down next to me.
“I’ll call you back to discuss your payment later.” I told the Private Investigator before hanging up and pocketing the phone, I shared a quick kiss with Kaylee before continuing. “Remember all the bullshit she gave me for cheating on her? Turns out she’s a hypocrite, she was sleeping around with a few different men during last year’s World Tour and the PI thinks that it even dates back to the end of 2014.”
“So in other words, her claim that this whole divorce business started when you started to show your true colors is bullshit.” Kaylee summarized and I nodded in response, she frowned as a thought hit her. “Wait, wasn’t Marcus conceived around that time?”
“Yeah, he was and as soon as we return to Vegas I’m ordering a DNA test on him.” I responded with a frown as I ran a hand down my face. “If she was being that unfaithful for that long she could’ve at least cut the bullshit and just say it rather than try to take the moral high ground.”
“Women will lie a lot if it means sole custody of their kids, I’ve seen it happen enough times in my own family.” Kaylee responded as she shook her head before taking a sip of her drink. “I’m guessing you couldn’t convince the PI to testify at the hearings next month?”
“Most he would agree to do was an affidavit that will get his testimony sworn in, according to him he has a lot of high profile clients that prefer privacy and him revealing his occupation in court, divorce or criminal court, would pretty much be career suicide.” I responded with a nod as I leaned back. “My divorce lawyer isn’t worried he thinks that the testimony is more than enough to crush any hopes Charlotte has of getting sole custody of his kids but we’ll see what happens next month.” I added before shaking my head. “September already, fuck me!”
“Was that an invitation?” Kaylee asked with a grin and, as amazing as the sex is, I shook my head and pointed to the neighbor’s back garden where we could hear kids playing. “Right, right, almost forgot that their kids aren’t old enough to learn about the birds and the bees yet.” Kaylee admitted as she shifted her weight. “At least I only have to put up with my ultra-consultative extended family for a couple of more days before we leave for the next stop on the Canadian tour.”
“Yeah I was wondering about that.” I commented as I glanced inside the house and saw her uncle preparing dinner, namely something called Poutine. “How did you end up in your line of work with a family like that?”
“Well, I wanted to be an actress but didn’t have any money for lessons so I figured that I may as well use what nature gave me and turned to porn.” Kaylee responded with a shrug as she leaned back, “As it turned out, I made a lot more money doing porn than the regular acting jobs that I took up briefly and enjoyed it more so I kept doing it, sure having to lie about my profession to my family sucks more than I do when I’m doing a sex scene but it’s that or get disowned.”
“Yeah, I can see why you chose to keep the lie up.” I responded with a nod. “So I’m guessing you haven’t come out as bi to them either?”
“If I did, I wouldn’t have to lie to anyone because they would’ve disowned me, the only person I’ve told is my sister but she’s more open minded about it than the rest of the family.” Kaylee responded before standing up. “I’m going to see if Uncle Joe wants a hand cooking dinner, you coming in or do you have a promo to do?”
“You know about the Battle Royal, what do you think?” I asked her and Kaylee nodded in response.
“Got it, I’ll give you a shout when dinner’s ready.” Kaylee responded before entering the house and going into the kitchen, I didn’t even bother hiding the fact that I was checking out her ass as she walked off but she told me herself that she’s used to that kind of attention and doesn’t mind it, with that said I decided to get started on my promo.
“Once again, I have to jump through hoops to get what I deserve and this week’s hoop is a Battle Royal against seven other men for the right to face Rage for the SCW Internet Championship, a right that should’ve been mine from the moment I sent in that promo from the Premier Inn Hotel Room in England but no, apparently it’s Mark Ward’s way or the highway and no amount of blowjobs from his new secretary have convinced him otherwise!”
Did I say that last part out loud?
“And who am I facing in this match? Kain, Samuel Devereux, Chris Shipman, Casey Williams, Despayre, Ryan Keys and last but not least Alex fucking Rush! Ignoring the fact that Alex Rush has done nothing to earn a spot in this match and that Kain never should’ve gotten an Internet Championship Match in the first place, why should I have to go through all this trouble to get the one on one match that should’ve happened at Summer XXXTreme? Because Rage said no? Err, excuse me, since when did the bosses lose the power to override the decisions of the reigning champs? That would’ve been really fucking useful during my Roulette Title Reign earlier this year!”
But I digress, first up is Kain!
“And that’s not even getting into the biggest insult of them all! The fact that Kain not only got another shot at the Internet Championship which, surprise, surprise, he bombed at but he’s getting another shot at the belt through this match! You want to know where Kain really belongs? The Roulette Division, because that’s the only title that he can fucking win! And before the smart asses point out that he’s a former World Heavyweight Champ, does anyone actually remember his reign? No? I thought not! And when I eliminate him his string of failures will continue!”
Next up is Sam!
“Another recent opponent of mine is next and his name is Samuel Devereux! Last week I said that you had no business being in the World Title Qualifying Match, this week? I’m saying the exact same thing about this Number One Contender Ship Battle Royal except there’s an even bigger elephant in the room as far as guys who don’t belong in this match but I’ll get to Alex later! Sam, you lost the Triple Threat Match last week and this week history will repeat itself with one major difference, I’ll be the winner!”
Next up is Despayre!
“I have to wonder how Rage will feel about facing Despayre if, by some miracle that could only happen if Jesus came down and intervened in the match, he won, for one thing, Rage has got to have some issues with fighting a midget! Anyway, Despayre your reign as king might have ended almost as quickly as it began but in this match I’ll prove what I was saying during those two weeks where your name was relevant to the wrestling world, that you’re a pretender to the crown and thanks to those fantastic matches with J2H your time in the spotlight is over!”
Next up is Chris!
“Going even further back as far as my past opponents go, Chris Shipman! I’m pretty sure that the last time we faced off in a match was during that Chris Shipman’s House of Fun match and I pray to god that SCW never brings back that match type again! Bonus points if you’re in it! After all, you invented the damn match! Anyway Chris, your return might have drummed up a lot of hype but has that really gotten you anywhere? The last title match that you were in was back at Summer XXXTreme and if you had your leg choke on James a bit tighter that thief’s title reign would’ve ended and whilst I shudder at the thought of you with the Roulette Title I’m here to make sure that you don’t get a shot at Rage either and I’ll do so by eliminating you!”
Next up is Casey!
“And speaking of competitors in that match, Casey Williams, my first ever opponent in SCW! How did that match end again? Oh yeah! I kicked your head off and hit the What Fear for good measure! The only thing that’s stopping history from repeating itself in this match is the fact that pinfalls and submissions don’t count in Battle Royals but who knows? Maybe I’ll still make history repeat itself by drppkicking you over the top rope! And unlike Ryan I won’t be dumb enough to hang around waiting for you to eliminate me as revenge! Casey, whilst we have faced off against each other since then I remember each occasion ending in me as the winner and guess what? This time will be no different!”
Next up is Ryan!
“And speaking of that dumbass, Ryan, the last time we faced off was in that bullshit Fatal Four Way Match that should’ve been a one on one match between me and Tuscini for the Roulette Title but I digress, you lost that match and you lost the match for the SCW Roulette Title at Summer XXXTreme IV as well so what makes you think that this match will be any different? Spoiler alert, it won’t be and I’ll go on to win the title just like that”
Last but not least is Alex!
“I swear to god the only reason this idiot is in the match is because they wanted an even number of participants for whatever reason! I’d like to see you come up with a legit reason why Alex Rush deserves to be in this match over someone like Markus Reeves or someone who has actually challenged Rage! Bonus points if you are able to state your reason without dying of laughter in the process! Look, all that matters is this! Alex is a joke and he will probably be the first to be sent flying over the ropes whilst I move on to glory! Enjoy continuing the whole one man Ozzy Osbourne Tribute Act Alex because it’s the only work you’ll ever get after this match!”
And with that I decided to wrap things up.
“If Rage had any brain cells whatsoever I wouldn’t be in this match! Hell this match wouldn’t be taking place because I’d be the number one contender and moving on to the title I should’ve won at Summer XXXTreme! Instead I’ll have to kick ass, take names and eliminate Sam, Kain, Despayre, Chris, Casey, Ryan and Alex along the way! This message has been paid for and delivered by “The Fearless Champion” Steve Ramone, the champion the fans deserve!”
I went into the house as the scene fades.
