Supercard Archives / Re: ROYAL PURPLE (c) v SAMANTHA MARLOWE - ROULETTE CHAMPIONSHIP
« on: March 20, 2021, 11:49:36 PM »Colton Myers wanders around the backstage area where he peeks into different areas before stopping one of the crew backstage.
“I’m lookin’ for Sam Marlowe,” he says to the crewperson who looks around then seeing the redhead, he smiles and points her out for Colton.
He mutters his thanks and moves down the hallway to where Sam Marlowe is sitting with her hands between her knees, a white piece of paper held there. Colton moves towards her and then leans against the wall beside her. “Hey darlin’,“ he says as Sam continues to look at the paper in her hand. “Ready to head home?”
“Mmhmm,” offers Sam as she glances upward then back at the paper.
“What’s that Sami?” asks Colton as he nods toward the paper. He nudges at Sam’s shoulder as he pushes his hands into his jacket pockets.
Not looking up, Sam shakes the paper. “It’s a contract Camo. It says I get a title shot at the Roulette title at Blaze of Glory,” she answers. “It was what was in the briefcase. And once I sign it, I get to face Royal Purple for the Bombshell Roulette title.”
“That’s great isn’t it?” wonders Colton as he doesn’t hear any excitement in the voice of his girlfriend. “I think you stand a good chance of winning that match, don’t you?”
Sam nods slowly as she sighs and brings the paper up to wave it in front of Colton. “The odds seem to look that way. Although I am not so sure that it should be me facing Royal Purple.”
Surprise crosses the face of Colton who can’t believe what he is hearing. Lowering himself in front of Sam he puts his hands on her knees and raises an eyebrow in confusion. “Where is this coming from Sam? You won that ladder match for the briefcase and now that you see that it is a contract for the Roulette title, you are talking like this? Are you all right?”
Sam looks at Colton and brings her now empty hand to his cheek and smiles at him. “You know I am darlin’ but from hearing how Christian was talking earlier, I get the hint that he really didn’t want me to win this contract. But I did…”
“And he knows that when you got into that ring and won that briefcase that you would be the one to take advantage of this opportunity,” he states angrily. “Besides Sami, you know what you are capable of and you shouldn’t pay any attention to his talk. You got the match to focus on and if you let this get to you, it is going to not help any. Him not wanting you to win is not going to be your built-in excuse for losing, because between you and me Sami, you aren’t going to let this make you lose.”
He turns and nuzzles his lips against the palm of Sam’s hand as his own reaches up and caresses against her hand. Sam giggles softly at the tickle of the stubble on Colton’s chin rubbing against her wrist. “You’re right as always Colton,” she states as she once more turns to the paper. Straightening up, she helps Colton up and the pair move towards the sound table. A crewman is there and Sam asks for a pen. Taking it in her hand, she turns to Colton and then motions for him to turn around.
Colton turns and bends over enough for Sam to lay the paper on his back and then sign at the bottom of the contract. She picks up the paper and offers the pen back to the crew. The pair them move down the hallway and reaching Christian Underwood’s office, Sam knocks and hears a muffled voice calling for her to come in.
Opening the door, she steps in only a few feet as she calls out. “Hi Christian, here is the contract, signed and delivered just in time for me to start getting ready to challenge for the Roulette title.” She moves further into the room and without waiting for Christian to say anything, she puts the contract in front of him and then leaves the room. Colton holds out his arm for Sam who with a smile tucks her hand into the crook of his elbow.
“Let’s go home Colton,” she says. “I have a match to get ready for and win.”
The pair moves along the hallway softly speaking before disappearing around a corner.
Sam Marlowe moves into view, dressed in a pair of dark tights and a long silvery shirt that is open at the neck and cap sleeves. On her feet are black cowboy boots and her hair is pulled up to cascade in a long ponytail down over her left shoulder. She looks calm as she stops and then begins to speak.
“Royal Purple…it is quite interesting that you are wearing a belt that I am very familiar with. A belt that I haven’t worn in a while but it is like an old friend. Not like a comfortable old shoe or a shiny new toy. That belt you are wearing is something that I know intimately and trust me when I tell you that I know what it is capable of doing to someone who wears it,” offers Sam in a thoughtful voice. “I mean I know that when you win it, you feel ten feet tall and bulletproof. I know because I have lived that. But being ten feet tall and bulletproof is all just a feeling and a false one at that. Just because you win a title doesn’t mean that you won’t lose that same title.”
Sam sighs as she looks to the side. “I bet you are thinking Purple that you have this in the bag. That you are going to be the one to retain that title at Blaze of Glory because you trained with Mark Cross and that you are some kind of champion that no one can beat. Sure, you are someone that no one should take lightly because of the fact you were trained by Mark Cross. Hellfire, I would be crazy to discount that. Mark Cross…he is a man that has the ability to make champions. As a matter of fact, he made you a champion. But can he help you retain that championship when faced with someone that has been there, done that?”
Sam ducks her head as she tosses the ponytail over her shoulder. “I bet you don’t know it Purple but I was trained by people who have made me a double World Bombshell champion and a four-time Bombshell Roulette champion and a one-time Mixed Tag champion. You might have heard of Vixen Staggs? She is the one that trained me when I first signed with Sin City Wrestling. It was her and her husband that made me the champion I was and after Blaze of Glory, will be again.”
Sam moves closer to the camera and we see that she is standing in front of a wheel that looks very familiar. Matches are showing on it as Sam’s fingers move along the side of it before she yanks downwards after catching the handle. The click click of the wheel spinning provides a backdrop to Sam as she begins to speak again.
“I am sure Purple you know that being the Bombshell Roulette champion means that your fate is decided by the spin of this wheel of matches that dictate just how you are going to be defending your title against me at Blaze of Glory. And don’t get me wrong, I know just how fickle the finger of fate is when it comes to deciding how the belt will be defended or won. It could stop on an inferno match…” says Sam as she watches the flame colored match spin by. “Or it could be a ladder match…just like the one that I won to earn my shot against you. It could be a bra and pantie match although, I am pretty sure that is not going to be what we will be competing in.”
“This roulette wheel will spin us into a match that neither of us are really ready for. If I am honest, no one is really ready for the unknown. But if you ask me, I think you are ready enough to step into that ring and put up a fight,” muses Sam as she puts her hands behind her back and rocks back and forth from heel to toe. “I am counting on it Purple. I don’t want to step into the ring at the supercard with someone that isn’t ready to give it their all to keep a title that I want back.”
“I have been in your shoes Purple and I can tell you that I know just what you can be capable of. Heck, you beat Joanna Kreiger for that title and took a chair shot to the face during that match. And I would be remiss in not telling you that I was impressed. Beating someone like her makes you a dangerous opponent,” offers Sam. “I mean actually, I have been watching a lot of what you have done here in the company and I have to say that you are someone that is fast, dangerous and very ring capable. You are a high flyer that seems to know her way around a ring. Most probably wouldn’t be able to prepare for you.”
Sam crosses her arms over her chest as she half turns away before turning back. “Most aren’t me however. See, I know what I have to do in that ring to take that title away from you. I know that I have to take you as seriously as a heart attack. So, I can’t be SCW’s sweetheart when I step into that ring at the supercard. No, I have to be the Sam Marlowe that set records with the Bombshell Roulette title. I have to be the Sam Marlowe that holds the longest combined title reigns in Sin City Wrestling. I have to be the Sam Marlowe that beats you at your own game to add to that legacy I have created. I want you to know Purple, that Sam Marlowe is coming for her title and there will be nothing you can do to stop me. You are not going to have a way to prevent me from doing what I want with yourself to win back my title. Yes, you are champion now…” says Sam with a determined look. “But after Blaze of Glory, you will not be. That is a simple truth that I am sharing with you. I am coming to the supercard with a burning desire to once more wear that belt around my waist and over my shoulder. I am ready to reclaim the belt and title of Bombshell Roulette champion and at the supercard you will have two options. You can either step up and give me the fight of the night for that belt or you can step aside and let me once more be the Bombshell Roulette champion that belt deserves. I hope Purple that you choose the first option because when I beat you, you will have no option left.”
With that, Sam stops speaking and moves out of view leaving the now slowing wheel spinning, the continuous click clack of the pegs hitting the arrow covering the soft click of Sam’s bootheels as she leaves.
