 WHAT IS HAPPENING NOW IS ALL THAT MATTERS

NARRATOR:  Greetings from Los Angeles, California, where Sin City Wrestling’s High Stakes VI will be taking place at the Galen Center. There is a lot of information to get out to everyone concerning the match James Tuscini has at High Stakes VI. He will be defending the Roulette Championship against Steve Ramone in a Roulette Rules match. Of course we won’t know the rules and stipulations of the match until just before the match starts when the Roulette Wheel spins and lands on a slot. I feel a little bit sad for Steve Ramone as he has gone off on Referee Jacob Summers numerous times for his call on their Electrified Steel Cage match on May 1, 2016, which is the match James won the Roulette Title Belt from Steve, and now Jacob Summers has been assigned to this match as the Referee. This could get interesting. Thanks again for sitting through my narration to open this segment but I now need to turn you over to James Tuscini and Pinky del Ferrando.

The scene shifts and we are taken to a Pink’s Hot Dogs restaurant in Los Angeles. It is the place to go where you know you are going to get great food at a great price. James Tuscini, and his Manager Pinky del Ferrando, who is also his Uncle, are seated at a table looking over the menu. Once the cameraman is set up and he gives the signal that they are live on the air the two launch into their comments.

JAMES:  I think I will get the Lord of the Rings hotdog. It says it is a 9 inch stretch dog with Bar-B-Que sauce and topped with onion rings. After all with our Tag Team, The Unholy Alliance, winning another Tag Team match, this time against Rage and JT Midas, we are like the Lords of the Tag Team Division. What do you think you will get Uncle?

PINKY:  I like this one called Jaws. The menu says it is a Cheeseburger with a grilled Polish dog, with bacon, lettuce, tomatoes, and mayonnaise. Then I will get a side of Chili fries. That sounds like a meal fit for a King like me who will be kicking ass on morons like Andreas and Cyrus.

JAMES:  Sounds like a meal made in Heaven.

The two place their order and they bring the order back to their table. While they are eating their meal they comment on the upcoming Sin City Wrestling event, High Stakes VI, where James will be defending the Roulette Title Belt, once again, against Steve Ramone.

JAMES:  I could make the statement that now is the time for me to prove, once and for all, that I am the epitome of what the Roulette Champion should be. I said that I “could” make that statement but it isn’t necessary since I’ve successfully defended my Roulette Title over and over and over again with the only exception being when I defended against Johnny Tsunami. Then you saw me quickly regain the Roulette Title back from him and here I am again defending it.

PINKY:  So now is the time to continue kicking ass and leaving a trail of broken wrestlers behind us. What’s that? You don’t like me using the term “us” when referring to James and me? We are a team and we are family. Therefore we are “us” when it comes to the wrestling career of James. At High Stakes VI James steps into the ring with Steve Ramone to once again prove why he’s the Roulette Champion and the rest of you are not. And if any of you want to pull shit like Steve Ramone did, by having your friends and thugs attack us, remember that my can of Whup Ass isn’t empty yet and I assure you there’s enough Whup Ass left to kick the ass of everyone in Sin City Wrestling several times over. Also as I’ve mentioned before if you think I’m joking then give me a try. I know you won’t be laughing when this 63 year old full-blooded Sicilian Italian beats you down so hard you won’t even know your name.

JAMES:  I can’t sit here a lie to you. Had I not lost the Roulette Title to Johnny Tsunami you would be looking at the longest-reigning Roulette Champion in Sin City Wrestling history. Yes I would have eclipsed Goth and Equinox for that honor. But things happen for a reason. The reason was a wake-up call. A reminder that I am not perfect and I can be defeated if an opponent works hard enough for the win. Am I upset that I’m not the longest-reigning Roulette Champion? Not a bit. I am listed as the 3rd longest-reigning Roulette Champion and I don’t mind taking a back seat to Equinox and Goth.

The duo dive into their food again before taking a break from eating to continue their comments.

JAMES:  Let me remind you of the match where I legitimately defeated Steve Ramone and earned the Roulette Title Belt. It was on May 1, 2016, at Climax Control 146. It was an Electrified Steel Cage match. For those of you who were not there, or were not able to watch it on television, or you haven’t yet looked at the replay of the match, I will tell you how the match ended. It was a good back and forth match with both of us getting our share of shocks from the electrified steel cage. Then we fought up onto the ropes in the corner. Both of us were up against the steel cage getting the beejeebers shocked out of us. Steve Ramone went unconscious first and he fell backward off the ropes and landed hard on the mat. I was still conscious but just as I was diving off the ropes to land on top of Ramone I also lost consciousness. From watching the replay of the match I fell forward off the ropes and landed on top of Ramone. Referee Jacob Summers saw Ramone on his back on the mat with his shoulders on the mat and me on top of Steve. Ramone continues to claim that I stole the Roulette Title Belt from him that evening. Steve you claim to be a wrestler but apparently you forgot the most basic concept of wrestling. If a wrestler is on the mat and their shoulders are on the mat and their opponent is on top of them that is what is called a “pinning combination” and the Referee who is officiating the match, in this case Jacob Summers, did his job by dropping to the mat, checking that your shoulders were on the mat, and making the three count for my win to earn, not steal, the Roulette Championship from you. I mean, come on, even if only my hand was resting on your chest the fact that your shoulders were on the mat means it was a legitimate pinfall. What part of YOU WERE LEGALLY PINNED are you failing to understand?

PINKY:  Oh, Steve, how I hope, for your sake, that Referee Jacob Summers is not the Referee assigned for the match I can only imagine how he must feel having you accuse him of being an incompetent and moron of a Referee.

James interrupts Pinky to whisper something in his ear.

PINKY:  Oh shit. Damn! Sorry, Steve, but James just informed me that Jacob Summers is the Referee assigned to your match. Sure hope you  be nice to Mister Summers okay? Now, Ramone, don’t get me wrong here as people do tend to take my comments the wrong way. I’m not saying that Jacob Summers would make bad calls against you but put yourself in his shoes and ask yourself how you would feel officiating a match involving the wrestler who called you vile things and called you incompetent and stupid? Yeah that’s what I thought.

James and Pinky finish off their dogs, burger, and fries and both let out a burp of satisfaction.

JAMES:  Steve recently you saw me defend my Roulette Championship against Ryan Keys. This was Ryan’s fourth match against me. Keys came into the match 0-3 against me and I sent him packing at 0-4. At High Stakes VI you come to face me for the Roulette Title Belt. You come into our match 0-3 against me. I will send you packing, like I did with Ryan Keys, with an 0-4 record against me. Before you whine about my comments I will give you props. You have a 10 percent better chance of defeating me than Ryan Keys did. Now doesn’t that make you feel better?

PINKY:  Thanks for joining us while we had a great meal at Pink’s. How fitting to dine at an iconic restaurant in Los Angeles and especially one that has a similar name to mine. We want to get back to the arena so we can relax for few days before James hits the Gym for his workout and sparring matches. James has his sights set on you Ramone. I have my sights set on Andreas and Cyrus. Before you get overly confident thinking it will be a two-on-one affair with me against those two remember that we also have Dmitri on our team. That evens the score. I love a fair fight don’t you?

JAMES:  Thanks for your time to tune in with us. If you are in the Los Angeles area you really need to stop into Pink’s and enjoy classic meals from a classic restaurant. After I defeat you, Steve, perhaps Pink’s will create a new dish and name if after me and Pinky. See you at High Stakes VI.

James and Pinky stand up and walk out of the restaurant to the street to hail a taxi. It doesn’t take long for one to arrive and they get in to have the driver return them to the Galen Center.

[Steve Ramone]

 RP Title: “Justice will be served!”

Seven months ago, during SCW’s Japanese Tour James Tuscini beat Steve Ramone in controversial fashion for the Roulette Championship ending Steve’s title reign on its second defense, how was it controversial? Both men were knocked out and James happened to land on top of Steve leading Jacob Summers to count the pin-fall and since then Steve has held nothing back on his thoughts on the matter calling James a thief and Summers an incompetent referee who should’ve declared the match a draw.

Since then Steve has had only one other shot at the Roulette Title alongside Ryan Keys and Matt Spears and after spending most of the summer on the hunt for the Internet Championship, held by Rage at the time, Steve was back in the Roulette Title Scene and with the last Supercard of the year just two weeks away Steve found himself in the same position he found himself all the way back at My Bloody Valentine II, challenging for the Roulette Title but since the title isn’t vacant this time around and James, aside from briefly losing it to Johnny Tsunami at the last Climax Control before Violent Conduct III, has held an iron grip on it but can Steve end the year as champion?

The Jeremy Kyle Show (US Version)
Thursday the 10th of November 2016, 09:00am

Oh, my god, I can’t believe that I’m going through this shit again!

You may remember my last appearance on The Jeremy Kyle Show several months ago right when my hunt for the Internet Championship was starting, yeah, the show that pretty much ended my relationship with Charlotte and led to me introducing Kaylee to the world just a few weeks later, I’m not exactly thrilled about my return to the show.

And like last time, this wasn’t my idea.

You may remember back during SCW’s Canadian Tour where I said to Kaylee that my private investigator had uncovered that Charlotte had been cheating on me all this time, even worse was that the dates match up to Marcus’s birth which made me think that I’m not his biological dad, well I don’t know what took Charlotte so long but she caught wind of it and contacted the Jeremy Kyle show for a Lie Detector and DNA Test only this time she’s taking the Lie Detector and Kaylee’s actually appearing on stage.

I can’t wait for this.

I’m also convinced that the timing is no coincidence, she must know that I have a huge match coming up at High Stakes VI in two weeks’ time where I’m finally getting my one on one rematch against James Tuscini for the SCW Roulette Championship and she’s doing this as a way to get back at me for throwing her plans for getting full custody of Sophie and Marcus out the window by potentially throwing me off my game.

It’s not going to work, that’s all I’m saying.

“Good morning and as ever a big, big welcome to the show.” Jeremy greeted the audience as he walked on stage before turning to the camera. “Now you may remember our first guest Steve from a previous show, watch this my friends.” Jeremy started before highlights of my previous appearance on the Jeremy Kyle Show played, mostly highlighting my conflict with Charlotte, the incident with Andreas and Cyrus being in the audience and the Lie Detector result that ended my marriage. “Now Steve is back and the shoes on the other foot! Not only is Charlotte doing a lie detector but there is a DNA Test result on his one year old son, Steve’s on the Jeremy Kyle Show!”

As soon as I was given my cue I walked out on stage and this time I didn’t even bother pretending to be happy, I just marched out on stage and sat down on a chair. “Can we just get this shit over with? I have more important things to do than put up with your pompous ass!”

“Nice to see you too Steve.” Jeremy muttered under his breath before consulting his notes. “Right, first, don’t swear.”

“What am I, twelve?” I asked as I rolled my eyes. “I know the country’s about to go down the crapper because of that idiot who’ll be occupying the White House in a few months but why the fuck can’t I swear?!”

“Because we’re on daytime TV.” Jeremy responded with a deadpan expression on his face and I rolled my eyes. “Let’s get down to business, why is your baby having a DNA Test done and why is Charlotte doing a lie detector?”

“I can answer both of those questions at once, she’s a hypocrite!” I responded as I shifted my weight. “She ended our marriage because I cheated on her with the woman I’m currently seeing, well during our divorce proceedings in September I hired a private detective to see if he could dig up any ammo I could use against her, to make a long story short, she’s been cheating on me for the past two years including around the time that Marcus was conceived.”

“Are you sure about that?” Jeremy asked and I nodded in response.

“I’d say that I wouldn’t be here if I wasn’t but Charlotte dragged me on again.” I responded as I folded my arms. “But I will say that she agreed to shared custody of the kids after I brought it up in court so there’s some truth to what I’m saying.”

“Whilst we’re on that subject, you mentioned that your now in a relationship with another woman.” Jeremy said as he consulted his card. “Her name’s Kaylee and Charlotte had a few interesting things to say about her, didn’t she?”

“If by interesting things you mean “she’s a porn star” then yes, she did.” I responded as I shifted my weight. “And before you get on my case about letting someone in that profession around my kids, before she met me she spent most of her off time looking after her niece and nephew and I’ve seen her around those kids, in my opinion she’d make a great mom.”

“Well you are entitled to it but let’s hear things from the other side.” Jeremy said and as soon as I heard that I got up, picked up my chair and moved it across the stage. “Oh dear, he’s getting ready for it! Charlotte’s back on the Jeremy Kyle Show!” As soon as he said that Charlotte marched out with an unhappy look on her face, however before she could sit down Kaylee came out and got into a shouting match with her that had to be broken up by security before either woman could throw a punch. “Get back backstage, sit down and come out when I call you.” Jeremy told Kaylee and she walked to the backstage area glaring at Charlotte the whole time. “Charlotte, welcome back to the show, now Steve’s made some damning accusations, what is your response?”

“Yes I made some mistakes whilst Steve was out on the road but as far as I’m concerned he’s made a bigger one by hooking up with that.” Charlotte responded as she pointed to the side of the stage Kaylee had emerged from. “She says that she’s STD free but she hasn’t been tested since the beginning of the year and I’m not about to let someone in that profession see my kids, I don’t care how good she is around her niece and nephew.”

“You cared enough to agree to shared custody after her testimony during the divorce proceedings and after my lawyer brought up the fact that you had been cheating on me.” I pointed out as I turned to her. “Say what you will about her profession but she’s been loyal to me ever since I moved in with her, yes she gets paid to have sex with other people on camera but sex isn’t that big a deal to her.”

“That may be true but that’s only because I didn’t want my name dragged through the mud, hell it certainly explains some of the stuff you two have been getting up too since Summer XXXTreme IV back in August.” Charlotte responded before realization hit her. “Just to clarify, Summer XXXTreme is an annual event held by the company he works for and not a porno.”

“Someone just had to clarify that a wrestling event isn’t a porno, what has become of daytime television?” Jeremy grumbled under his breath getting a laugh out of the audience. “Back on topic, what do you have to say about the DNA and Lie Detector Tests?”

“Like I said, I haven’t been faithful but Steve spent most of 2015 on a World Tour with SCW, the company he works for, leaving me alone with the kids and what can I say? I needed some company that my kids couldn’t provide.” Charlotte responded as she shifted her weight and I went to say something. “And before you say it Steve, yes I cheated on you before then and I can understand why you’d be suspicious but there’s no way in hell that that’s not your son.”

“You’ll forgive me for waiting for the DNA Test Results before I believe you.” I responded before turning to Jeremy. “Is that even any point to doing the Lie Detector Results? She just admitted it on TV!”

“I did but that’s because I did what you did last time.” Charlotte said as she turned to me. “I mentioned those incidents to the examiner and he changed the question, didn’t he Jeremy?”

“Yes, he did but we’ll get to them in a minute.” Jeremy said as he checked his notes. “There’s one last side that I want to hear and that’s from the woman who was here last time but she never showed up on camera due to time constraints, Steve’s new girlfriend Kaylee is here on the Jeremy Kyle Show!”

As soon as Jeremy said that security mobilized and Kaylee came out with a frown on her face, fortunately nothing much happened aside from some nasty glares between the two women. “You know, for someone who says that she doesn’t want her name dragged through the mud you have no trouble saying that you cheated on Steve when he was on the road.”

“At least I’m honest.” Charlotte responded and I scoffed in response. “How many men and women have you slept with as part of your job?”

“If I had to make that list Jeremy wouldn’t have a show because I’d be finished by the time the half hour was up!” Kaylee responded as she leaned forward. “But you want to know why I don’t have a problem with saying that? Because for me sex is part of my job and whenever I’ve slept with Steve I’ve always made sure that he’s wearing a condom.” Kaylee added before smirking. “You on the other hand? You’re only admitting to cheating on him to save face!”

“At least I didn’t have one of my porno clips played on the screen at an SCW event!” Charlotte responded before it hit her. “And no, I’ve never starred in a porno, unlike you I have self-respect!”

“That’s rich coming from someone who couldn’t keep her legs closed when her husband was working overseas!” Kaylee retorted getting a laugh out of the crowd and Charlotte went to respond before hesitating. “What’s the matter? Cat got your tongue?”

“You know what? I didn’t like you at first but you’ve just gone up in my estimation by pointing that out.” Jeremy admitted and Kaylee grinned at that. “Can I have the results please?” Jeremy asked and a stage hand passed him the results. “Starting with the lie detector, as Charlotte already stated she admitted to the examiner that she cheated on Steve on several occasions so they changed the question, happy with that?” Jeremy asked and we nodded. “We asked Charlotte, aside from the incidents that you admitted to, have you ever passionately kissed someone, she said no, why did you say no?”

“Because I was telling the truth.” Charlotte said confidently and Jeremy shook his head.

“This test says you’re a liar.” Jeremy said as he showed her the results and the crowd gasped in shock. “In fact I’ll cut to the chase, you failed every single question.”

“For how long have you cheated on my Charlotte?!” I demanded as I leaned forward. “Seriously, you got on my case last time about cheating on you but now this comes out? I’m glad I divorced you because I know for a fact that Kaylee will be a much better mother than you…….” Before I could even finish Charlotte lunged at me but was restrained by security. “You’re not helping your case, just saying, Jeremy, can you get to the DNA Results so we can get this over with?”

“Smartest thing you’ve said all morning.” Jeremy responded before taking the other envelope and looking at it. “I’m sorry, I only get paid to read the results, your Marcus’s biological father.”

“Son of a bitch!” I yelled out before storming offstage and Kaylee quickly ran after me, I was upset to say the least but unlike most examples I was angrier than anything else, made even worse than when Jeremy and Charlotte chased after me. “We were married for seven years and you couldn’t keep your legs closed? I wasn’t even an active wrestler for most of that time so don’t even bother trying to use my choice of profession as an excuse!”

“Steve, just listen to me.” Charlotte pleaded with me as I glared at her. “I don’t know who Marcus’s dad is, I just assumed that since he had your eyes that you were his dad.”

“That’s not an excuse for playing god with my kid’s lives when we were going through the divorce proceedings, hell I’m glad that you already divorced me because otherwise I’d take my wedding ring and flush it down the toilet!” I responded as I ran a hand down my face. “Just for this I’m going to fight for full custody, if you couldn’t keep your legs closed for anyone other than me then how am I supposed to trust you around my kids? She may sleep with other people as part of her job but at least she’s honest!”

“Good luck with that Steve, I’ll fight back with everything I’ve got.” Charlotte responded with a grin and I shook my head before storming off, I’m done with this fucking show and I just want to get back to my hotel room.

“Steve, we saw what happened in the dressing room.” Cyrus said as he and Andreas caught up to us with concerned looks on their faces. “Are you going to be okay?”

“I will be after I channel my anger into my promo, for now let’s get going.” I responded as I continued to walk down the hallway. “Oh and Andreas?”

“Yes Steve?” Andreas asked as I turned to him.

“As soon as we’re back in Vegas get the private investigator to investigate just how far back the cheating goes, I need all the ammo I can get so I can use it against her in the coming months.” I told him and he nodded in response, when we reached the car we hopped in with me sitting in the back with Kaylee and the cameraman squeezed in between us. “You guys don’t have to worry about us having sex back here, I’m not in the mood!”

“Normally I’d wonder if you were feeling alright but after what happened back there I can’t blame you.” Kaylee nodded in understanding as the car drove off and I got started on my promo.

“I was supposed to be in high spirits heading into this match against James Tuscini at High Stakes VI, I’ve been owned this match ever since that thief stole it from me during the Japanese Tour earlier this year and aside from a brief detour to fight for the Internet Championship its always been at the back of my mind especially after I watched inferior challengers fight for the title like Ryan Keys but because my ex-wife is a cheating, lying whore and I’m not the biological father of my second child more fuel has been added to the fire that’s already been lit under me!”

And that fire was raging enough already.

“Most men would be an emotional wreck after they heard news like what I just heard but me? I’m pissed off and that’s given me more motivation to end the year the same way I started it, as SCW Roulette Champion! James, you’re a thief, I’ve said that until at least two herds of cows have returned home but I will admit to you being a tough competitor in the ring, you’d have to be to survive not one but two matches where I made up the rules as I went along! Granted the second time around you only won because Ryan Keys wasn’t the one who I wanted to face for the title so I had to screw him over somehow but my point still stands!”

And Ryan Keys isn’t important right now.

“To be honest, I don’t care what match type we get thrown into but as far as I’m concerned it must be something brutal, Jamie Dean has already pointed out on Twitter that there’s a good chance that it could end up in the type of match you’d normally expect to see women who wrestle for companies who aren’t worth mentioning compete in and whilst he might enjoy that I won’t and I’m pretty damn sure that you won’t enjoy it either! But at the end of the day the only thing that’ll matter is how the match ends and we both know how it’ll end!”

Spoiler alert!

“It’ll end with my doing what I should’ve done months ago, beat you for the Roulette Championship and pick up my reign where I left off! This time James they’ll be no laughably incompetent referee around to ensure that you walk out with the gold and I’m pretty fucking sure that this match won’t end the same way that it did months ago but more importantly the world will see that the only reason that you held the belt for so long was because I set my sights higher for a few months!”

And with that I decided to wrap things up.

“James, when this is all over the world will see you for the fluke champion that you are because by the time the bell rings to signify the end of the High Stakes VI Main Event I’ll have won the Roulette Title that I never should’ve lost in the first place! This message has been paid for and delivered by “The Fearless One” Steve Ramone, the champion who never should’ve lost the Roulette Championship and te champion the fans deserve!”

The car drove off as the scene fades.

 TIME. TIME IS ON MY SIDE.

NARRATOR:  Welcome to another edition of  “James Tuscini and Pinky del Ferrando speak and you listen.” Last week James and Pinky told you why James has held the Roulette Title for as long as he has. Pinky reminded you that although he’s 63 years of age he will still kick your ass if you get in his way. I’ve said enough for my lead-in to this segment. I will leave the rest to James and Pinky to enlighten you.

As the scene changes we are given a shot of what appears to be a clock store. The camera pans around and then the cameraman pulls back and we can see that it is, in fact, a watch and clock store and there are clocks everywhere. The cameraman spins around and we get a shot of James Tuscini, Pinky del Ferrando, and the Owner of the clock store. As the three move around the cameraman keeps up with them to keep us with a clear view of what is going on.

JAMES:  We are here today at Timeland Watches and Clocks in Los Angeles. This is the Owner of the store and we are looking for a clock to purchase and put up in our home in San Francisco. You have a fantastic collection of clocks. Do you deal with new clocks or do you also take in older clocks and fix them up so they work again?

CLOCK STORE OWNER:  I can fix and repair most clocks but there are times when I get a clock in here even I’m unable to fix. What I end up with is a decoration. Since the clock no longer works it only presents the correct time twice a day.

PINKY:  How can a non-working clock be on the correct time twice a day?

CLOCK STORE OWNER:  When you have a clock that no longer works the hands on the clock remain in the same position forever. When the time reaches what is showing on the broken clock then the time is right for that specific moment in time and then it passes away. That’s why they came up with the saying that “even a stopped clock is right twice a day.” On the other hand if you have a clock that runs a few seconds slow, or a few seconds fast, then once it gets off the correct time it could be a very long time before that clock will show the right time again.

PINKY:  Oh! You mean like Johnny Tsunami? His time was off because he clock was broken but on the night he defeated James for the Roulette Title Belt his stopped clock was on the correct time. Then the next match where he had to defend the Roulette Championship against James in a re-match he lost the Title Belt back to James due to his stopped clock no longer on the correct time.

CLOCK STORE OWNER:  That’s an excellent analogy.

JAMES:  I have an analogy also. Ryan Keys is currently 0-4 against me and Steve Ramone is currently 0-3 against me. Those two are like a clock that is running slow, or running fast, so they never seem to be on the right time when they need to be.

CLOCK STORE OWNER:  Yes that is a good analogy.

JAMES:  What? Uncle Pinky’s analogy is “excellent” and my analogy is just “good?”

CLOCK STORE OWNER:  Please don’t take offense. My comments are general in nature and not intended to insult anyone. You said you are looking for a clock to place in your home in San Francisco is that right?

JAMES:  Yes that’s correct. We have a nice Living Room with a fireplace and we would like to place a clock over the fireplace mantle. We’re looking for a clock that will present nicely on a background of red brick which the fireplace is made of. We also prefer something square since a round clock wouldn’t look right on the fireplace. I would say a clock that is a minimum of one foot square up to 2 feet square would do nicely so it can be seen well from different areas of the Living Room.

The Owner of the clock store thinks for a moment and then he perks up.

CLOCK STORE OWNER:  I do have a square clock that is approximately a foot and a half square. Please come with me.

The Owner leads James and Pinky over to the back of the store and he pulls out a square clock that is approximately a foot and a half square. It is made of wood from a red barn and the dial, numbers, and hands on the clock, are such that they are easy to read from a distance so it would work well over a fireplace.

JAMES:  This is nice! I love the fact that the wood of the clock is made from the wood of an old barn and the wood was painted red. Even though there is fading it has just the right character to fit into our home, over the fireplace mantle, to give our home the perfect touch. The faded red painted wood, combined with the white streaks, and the large and easily-read numbers on the clock, means it will be easily seen and read no matter where in the Living Room you are located. Thanks!

PINKY:  Not so fast James.

Pinky gives stern look at the clock store Owner.

PINKY:  What’s the price of the clock and does it work to keep time properly?

CLOCK STORE OWNER:  I assure you this clock is exceptionally accurate. I will state on the record that I believe this mechanical clock will keep time better than your modern watches whether they are a regular timepiece or a digital one. The price is $500 but since I’m a huge wrestling fan and one of my favorite wrestlers is James Tuscini I will let you have the clock for $400.

PINKY:  What the…? No way…

Pinky is cut off when James chimes in.

JAMES:  I would have gladly paid $500 for this fabulous clock. Thanks for the discount. We will take it for $400 and the $100 we save will provide for secure shipping to ensure it arrives at our home in San Francisco without damage.

CLOCK STORE OWNER:  You’re welcome sir. Please come with me to fill out the paperwork and pay for the clock and it will be shipped out tomorrow morning.

James and Pinky follow the store owner to his office where James fills out the papers, hands the man the money, and then he offers front-row seats for the store owner for High Stakes VI.

JAMES:  As a token of my appreciation I would like to give you two tickets for front-row seats for High Stakes VI on November 20, 2016. I will be defending my Roulette Championship against Steve Ramone and I would love to have you join us.

CLOCK STORE OWNER:  Thank you Mister Tuscini. I will ask my nephew to join me that evening. Similar to your Uncle Pinky I also look after my nephew so we have that in common.

James and Pinky again thank the clock store owner for his time and the great clock. The two walk out of the store and walk down the street with the cameraman in tow. They continue their comments as they walk.

JAMES:  Ramone you amuse me greatly. You constantly call me a thief and claim I stole the Roulette Championship from you. I won the Roulette Title Belt honestly and fairly but apparently you do not understand that concept. A pin is a pin is a pin. I’ve seen matches where both wrestlers knocked each other out at the same time and when they fell to the mat one wrestler was on their back and the other wrestler’s arm flopped over the chest of the other. That’s a pin and the Referee counts it as such. If you want to have an argument with someone about whether our match should have been called a double knockout instead of a win for me I suggest you visit with Referee Jacob Summers and argue with him about it. As I said, though, be very careful as you don’t want to say mean and insulting things to Summers before our match as he has been assigned again as our Referee.

PINKY:  I would compare it to this Steve. Say you got stopped by a Police Officer for speeding. When he stopped you he was going to just give you a warning but you ended up disrespecting him and insulting him so he gave you a Citation with a fine attached. So now you are pissed off at the Police Officer. So what do you think would happen the next time you get caught speeding and it is the same Police Officer who stopped you the first time? Do you think the Police Officer would be so nice and polite to you and offer a warning instead of a Citation this time knowing how you insulted and disrespected him the first time? I would expect the Police Officer to write the Citation, with a huge fine attached to it, hand it to you, and then tip his hat and wish you a nice day.

JAMES:  I will level with you Steve. Due to how you disrespected Jacob Summers for his officiating of our match in the Electrified Steel Cage I honestly hope he’s not the type of Referee to hold a grudge. I don’t want you to have another lame excuse for why you lost to me for the fourth time. I want Summers to call this match fairly and honestly like he did in our Electrified Steel Cage match. But you know what Steve? Even if my win over you is the cleanest, most honest, so clearly visible that a blind person could “SEE” my win, you would still blame your loss on Referee Summers. But let’s hope that Summers calls our match so honestly that nobody, not even you, will have anything to whine about.

The two continue walking down the street while the cameraman keeps up with them. They stop to watch a street vendor. Unfortunately for James it is a Mime and if there is one thing Tuscini detests more than Steve Ramone it is a Mime. As James and Pinky attempt to move around the crowd to stay away from the Mime the Mime runs up to them and starts a routine with them. James and Pinky try to inform the Mime that they want nothing to do with him but the Mime believes their anger is them playing along with his skit. They make it quite clear that they are not playing a game and that they truly hate Mimes so he needs to leave them alone.

JAMES:  Listen here. I hate Mimes so I suggest you get out of my way or you might get hurt if you touch me.

PINKY:  Please do what my Nephew says. He really doesn’t like Mimes and we just want to continue our walk and not get harassed.

James and Pinky try to move around the Mime but the Mime is being pushy and acting the asshole. As the two try to get past the Mime the Mime reaches out and grabs James by the arm and pulls him hard nearly knocking him over in the process. James pulls his arm away and…

JAMES:  Game over punk! You were warned!

As Tuscini pulls away and the Mime reaches for him again James swings and lands a backhand and lands it hard on the mouth of the Mime. The Mime lets out a yelp which surprises the crowd since Mimes don’t usually get verbal in their presentations. There happened to be a Police Officer in the crowd and he saw the entire thing and he steps up to settle the incident.

POLICE OFFICER:  Okay you two stop it right now! You, the Mime, you were asked to leave this man alone and you reached out and grabbed him by the arm and jerked him nearly knocking him over. That could be classified as assault but I will let you off with a warning because I feel the backhand to your mouth by this man was justified in self-defense. I hope you have learned your lesson and that you will never do that again during your Mime routine.

The Police Officer turns to James and Pinky to talk to them.

POLICE OFFICER:  You two tried to diffuse the situation but the Mime didn’t listen. When he grabbed you by the arm and yanked you nearly knocking you over you had every right to defend yourself. Personally I thought the backhand to his mouth was a nice move and it made him transgress the Mime code by talking during a routine. Now please move along and let’s not have any further incidents. Have a nice night.

James and Pinky continue down the street where they stop on a corner to work on hailing a taxi to return them to the Galen Center. While waiting for the taxi they add more comments.

JAMES:  Well, Steve, did you see what that Mime did to us? He didn’t listen. He over-stepped his boundaries. He got a backhand to his mouth. And we were justified in our actions by the Police Officer. Is that how it will be for our match at High Stakes VI? I think it will go down just like my altercation with the Mime. If your thugs get involved in our match then Pinky, and Dmitri if he shows up at ringside, will have full authority to kick some ass.

PINKY:  Rest assured I have no intention of getting involved in this match. However if Cyrus and Andreas get involved in the match then I will go off on them like James did to the Mime. I don’t mind leaving those two with a bloody lip and maybe a few more injuries.

JAMES:  The bottom line is I’m the Roulette Champion and you’re not. You have to prove you have what it takes to defeat me in a wrestling match. To date you have failed to prove that point three times. At High Stakes VI you will fail to prove that point again for the fourth time. And, Steve the Contract we signed states that when you lose to me this will be the last time you get to face me for the Roulette Title and that you will not get another shot at the Roulette Championship until someone else is holding the Roulette Title Belt.

The taxi pulls up and James and Pinky are about to get in.

JAMES:  There isn’t enough room for the two of us and the cameraman so we have to leave the cameraman to fend for himself.

PINKY:  Thanks for spending time with us today. See you all at High Stakes VI on Sunday evening.

James and Pinky enter the taxi and close the door. The cameraman stays focused on the taxi until it speeds out of sight.

[Steve Ramone]

 RP Title: “I’m taking back what’s mine!”

Steve’s long awaited rematch for the SCW Roulette Championship against James Tuscini was this Sunday and whilst Steve would like to say that he was completely focused on the match, he wasn’t as his most recent appearance on the Jeremy Kyle Show will tell you he found out that his ex-wife Charlotte had been cheating on him for far longer than he originally thought and as a result of that he was seeking full custody of both Sophie and Markus who had been revealed to not be his biological son in what could be considered the final nail in their relationship’s coffin.

That would have to wait however as Steve had his rematch with James Tuscini that weekend and Steve was determined to end the year with the SCW Roulette Championship around his waist, it has been a roller-coaster of a year for Steve but if he can end it with gold around his waist you know that he won’t stop bragging about it but can he win?

Local café, Los Angeles, California

Old habits die hard, what can I say?

With everything that’s happened since my most recent appearance on The Jeremy Kyle Show I needed an opportunity to take my mind off things, at first Cyrus suggested a meal out at a fine dining restaurant the day after and the fact that he was celebrating Veteran’s Day by going to that restaurant helped quite a bit, at least as far as he was concerned, but as good as the food was it didn’t help me take my mind off the fact that Marcus wasn’t my biological son.

My lawyers and PI are hard at work preparing for the upcoming custody case but that’s not for a long while yet, so I spent the last week and a half working out not even taking time out of that schedule for sex with Kaylee which should tell you everything you need to know about how seriously I’m taking this match and aside from taking a few minutes to put Tuscini in his place for thinking that I was weak just because I wasn’t on Twitter constantly all I’ve been doing all week is train, either at the local gym or elsewhere.

Well aside from today, today I’ve taken a day off from training at the insistence of Cyrus, Andreas and Kaylee because they were worried that I was working myself too hard and that I’d end up injuring myself thus making all the effort I’ve put in the past few weeks pointless because I’d have to miss the match and god forbid that Ryan Keys gets another shot at James over me.

Yes, I know he’s in that filler Triple Threat Match with JT Midas and Samuel “only male member of the Angel Clan and one of the luckiest bastards on the planet for knocking one of them up” Devereux but it’s not like they haven’t changed the card before, they had to cancel two matches at the first Climax Control of this Supercard Cycle because the idiots in them hadn’t heard of a little thing called “breach of contract” but that’s beside the point.

“Can I take your order?” My inner monologue was interrupted by the waitress at the café I was sitting in, just like old times where I’d find a café near the hotel that SCW had booked me and the rest of the Superstars/Bombshells in for the Supercard and occasionally go down there for a snack and to clear my head, however before I could reply someone caught her eye. “Oh sorry, I wasn’t aware that you were expecting your wife.”

“Fiancé actually.” Kaylee corrected her before sitting down across from me. “And before you ask I’ll take a glass of sparkling water and a look at the menu.”

“Right away ma’am.” The waitress nodded in response as she wrote the order down and handed her a menu before turning to me. “So, can I take your order?”

“Still deciding.” I responded and the waitress shrugged before walking off to give Kaylee’s drink order and tend to the other customers. “What? Was the hotel restaurant not good enough for you?”

“Give me a break, I only just woke up a half hour ago and it took me that long to find the place, figured I may as well grab some breakfast whilst I’m out here, or brunch since it’ll likely be closer to lunch time by the time they finish my meal.” Kaylee responded with a shrug before looking at the menu. “Besides, you seem to have a talent for finding places like this.”

“Among many other talents.” I responded before realizing that I hadn’t even looked at the menu and picked it up. “What about Cyrus and Andreas?”

“They left us a note on our door which I’m guessing you missed, otherwise you’d know.” Kaylee responded before the waitress returned with her glass of water. “Thanks.” Kaylee thanked her before the waitress walked off. “They went off to the gym early this morning and said that they won’t be back until Lunch Time, they’ll probably be back at the hotel by the time we’re finished here but then again we both know how much a pain in the ass LA Traffic can be.”

“Trust me, as a New Yorker, we may as well be in a small town in the middle of nowhere compared to New York Traffic.” I responded as I rolled my eyes, Kaylee had never been to New York, not even for one of her films, so she wouldn’t know better. “Anyway, have you decided what you want to eat?” I asked as Kaylee looked at the menu.

“Think I might go for the Club Sandwich, I’m not that hungry.” Kaylee decided before setting the menu down. “What about you?”

“Well I don’t know about club sandwiches but I have a knuckle sandwich coming James’s way on Sunday.” I responded and Kaylee rolled her eyes at my joke before I decided on an All-Day Breakfast. “What? You know it’s true.”

“It may be true but as far as ass-kicking one-liners go “Knuckle Sandwich” is as cliché as they come.” Kaylee responded as the waitress returned and we gave her our orders, only downside was when she asked if I wanted the vegetarian version of the All-Day Breakfast which I refused almost as quickly as I’ll beat James on Sunday. “Seriously, who eats an all-vegetable breakfast, I prefer to have some meat in my mouth in the morning.”

“Vegetarians, vegans and several other hippies who think they’re saving the world.” I responded as I rolled my eyes and the waitress walked off. “If they really want to save the world they’ll assassinate the current president and every idiot in his administration.” I added getting a laugh out of Kaylee though I was completely serious about it. “Besides, we both know how much you love to have breakfast in bed with me, and I’d better cut that sentence there before we’re thrown out for my lewd comments.”

“Oh please, anyone that perverted has probably recognized me from my films my now.” Kaylee responded with a laugh as she took a sip of her drink. “And considering no one’s come over to ask me for an autograph yet I don’t think we have anything to worry about, hell that happened more often when we went to the fine dining place last week.”

“I think there’s a few perverts in here, I also think that they are too ashamed to come up to you in public.” I responded and Kaylee grinned in response before the waitress returned with our food, the food was good by café standards, not exactly up to the standards of the food we ate last Friday but it was still good and affordable. “Mind if I cover the bill since I was the reason you came here in the first place?”

“Nah, I got it, besides you have a promo to do.” Kaylee responded once she finished her sandwich and called the waitress over to ask for the bill, whilst she got her purse out I left the café and headed out to the rent-a-car that I had been using since we had arrived in Los Angeles last week and leaned against it so that I could get started on my promo.

“You see this car? It’s a Rent-A-Car, you know, something that’s pretty much essential to a wrestler for when they are out on the road or in another country, why am I bringing this up? Well in a way James Tuscini is a Rent-A-Champion, he’s been keeping my title warm for me whilst I focused on other things but this Sunday his joke off a title reign is coming to an end! Hell, you never should’ve been champion in the first-place James and I’ve been ranting about that injustice until I was blue-in-the-face!”

And if you’re still confused, where the hell have you been these past few months?

“Hell the fact that Jacob Summers is still employed by SCW is an absolute fucking joke! If he had any idea what he was doing as a referee he would’ve ended the electric cage match as a draw and I’d still be the champion but no! Because you just happened to land on me after we were both knocked out that idiot decided to count the pin-fall and if the bosses had any sense they would’ve immediately reversed the decision and fired that moron on the spot but that’s a rant for another day! James, this weekend I’m going to do what I should’ve done at that one Climax Control during the Japanese Tour and kick your ass!”

And yes, I’m still pissed about that!

“The fact of the matter is that you never should’ve been in the Roulette Title Picture to begin with! My beef was with Joshua Acquin but because you called me out just weeks after your SCW debut and I responded and then I screwed you out of your match against Travis Nathanial Andrews that same night, I thought that would be it, that you would know better than to get in my business and leave me alone to deal with Joshua and hell at least Josh has shown the one thing that you lack, common sense!”

What do I mean by that?

“Now if you ask me, common sense may as well be a fucking superpower because so few people nowadays seem to possess it, don’t believe me? Look at all the morons who injured themselves whilst playing Pokémon Go and indirectly ruined the game by forcing Niantic to impose safety restrictions just so they wouldn’t be sued rather than except their personal responsibility of keeping the players happy! But back to Joshua Acquin, because that moron hasn’t been seen since his failed run at being a badass tag team with his brother who is a bigger nobody than all the members of the Nobodies combined he hasn’t shown his ugly face in this feud and therefore he has done something that you haven’t, he’s shown common sense!”

And trust me, I could rant all day about the lack of common sense today.

“If you had common sense you would’ve turned down the title shot and just toiled away hoping to get a random shot at a random championship on a random edition of Climax Control whilst I kicked Josh’s ass, if you had common sense you would’ve surrendered the title immediately following our first match to me because I am the title’s rightful owner and the fact that the reign that started with that title theft means nothing to me! Just like how your second title reign will mean nothing to the SCW History Books!”

And that’s a fact!

“Let’s face it, the morons in charge have been out to get me ever since I was suspended last year, finally won a single’s title? Immediately put into a program with a guy who I competed with in the title match who I didn’t even pin to win the title, rookie gets involved with me? Better add him to the match just to screw with Steve and as for the rest? I refer you to my previous points! Hell, it might go back even further than that, just look at the last two partners I’ve had for the Blast from the Past Tournament, Delia Darling bailed out on me and Alexis hated my guts since day one, I know the selection process is random but I wouldn’t be surprised if I end up with Veronica Taylor as my partner for the 2017 edition!”

For the love of god, don’t take that as a suggestion!

“But despite the bosses’ best attempts to screw me I will beat you and win the SCW Roulette Championship again!” As I said that I saw Kaylee approach me and pulled her into shot. “In fact there’s only one person who’s allowed to screw me in life and you’re looking at her!” as I said that we had a brief make out session on the hood of the car before Kaylee broke it off promising to continue it off camera and in a more secluded spot before heading into the car. “But that doesn’t apply to you James because she’ll be trying to screw you at every opportunity during this match, whether she decides to do it with or without her clothes on depends on her mood but either way that title is coming home!”

And with that I decided to wrap things up.

“This title shot should’ve happened months ago! Hell if they weren’t so busy with my divorce my lawyers would have sued this company for breach of contract the moment Ryan Keys and Matt Spears were added to what should’ve been our one on one rematch at Into the Void but better late than never and this Sunday I’m ending the year the way I started it, by winning the SCW Roulette Championship, this message has been paid for and delivered by the “Fearless One” Steve Ramone, the man who never should’ve lost the title in the first place!”

I got in the car as the scene fades.
