Alexandra sat at her computer having found out her opponent was going to be none other than Laura Phoenix, in her second defense of the Bombshell Roulette Championship. Laura Phoenix, a legend in the industry, just as she herself was. Seeing their little match blurb she shook her head. She couldn’t be bothered with all that mess. Letting it bother her would only prove a weakness. She needed to focus all her energy on facing Laura. Not a lot of women had the staying power that Alexandra, Laura, and Jessie had. Those who did were few and far between. Those who couldn’t, walked away from the industry, to pursue other things, other careers, families or due to injuries and burning out.Those whose hearts were truly in it, stayed strong in the face of all that.

Blood and Guts
San Francisco, California
9/29/23
The camera focuses on Alexandra Calaway, the Bombshell Roulette Championship glinting ominously in the dimly lit room. Her piercing gaze remains locked on the lens as she begins to speak, her words filled with both respect and determination.
“My path to the Bombshell Roulette Championship was a tumultuous one, marked by a series of grueling and unforgettable matches that showcased my unwavering determination, tenacity, and unquenchable thirst for success. But it was not an easy one, no. It all began with a fateful decision. I, a seasoned veteran of the wrestling world, made the choice to step into the chaotic realm of 2 out of 3 falls, hardcore matches. This was not a decision taken lightly, for such matches are a true test of a wrestler's physical and mental fortitude.”
She remembers back just a few weeks ago to when she claimed the Bombshell Roulette Championship from Jessie Salco.
“My first challenge came in the form of Jessie Salco, a formidable opponent with an impressive track record. The stakes were high: the coveted Bombshell Roulette Championship was on the line. I knew that to secure this championship, she would have to push her limits, go beyond her comfort zone, and confront the brutality of hardcore wrestling. The match was a relentless, back-and-forth brawl that saw both of us push ourselves to the brink. Fall after fall, we battered each other with unforgiving weapons, our bodies absorbing the punishment. The crowd was on the edge of their seats, witnessing a clash of two titans who refused to yield.”
That was one of the hardest battles she had faced since joining Sin City Wrestling. Even more so than fighting anyone else she had faced. Now she had a new challenger.
“As the falls accumulated, it became clear that our resolve was unwavering. We demonstrated an uncanny ability to adapt to the hardcore environment, wielding chairs, kendo sticks, and tables with precision and ferocity. Each fall I secured was a testament to my versatility as a wrestler and my unrelenting pursuit of victory. In the end, I emerged victorious, having secured two out of the three falls. I had conquered Jessie Salco in a grueling, epic battle that left both of us battered and bruised. The Bombshell Roulette Championship is now firmly in my grasp, a symbol of my unrelentless spirit and willingness to embrace the chaos of hardcore wrestling. Which many cannot do.”
She moved around, thinking about everything that brought her there.
“But there was no time to rest on my laurels. My championship reign had just begun, and my next challenge was already looming on the horizon. The Bombshell Roulette Championship is unique in that it required its new champion to defend it in 2 out of 3 falls, tables matches. It was a stipulation that added an extra layer of complexity and danger to my title defenses.”
Then there was Seleana, the wife of one of Alexandra’s greatest opponents.
“My first defense would be against Seleana, a skilled and ruthless competitor who was eager to dethrone me as the new champion. I knew that I couldn't afford to underestimate my opponent, especially in a tables match where victory demanded not just athleticism but strategy and cunning. The battle that followed was nothing short of brutal. Tables were shattered, bodies were launched through wood, and the intensity reached a fever pitch. Fall after fall, we fought tooth and nail, neither of us willing to yield an inch. The sheer physicality of the contest was awe-inspiring, a testament to the lengths we were willing to go to secure victory.”
Even then there was another battle that she had to face, another 2 out of 3 falls and again she held title in her hands.
“In the end, it was me who emerged victorious, once again securing two out of the three falls. I had successfully defended my Bombshell Roulette Championship for the first time, proving that my first win was no fluke. But the toll of these matches was undeniable. My body bore the scars of battle, and my spirit had been tested in ways I had never imagined.”
She stopped facing the camera and looked into it. Now a challenge stood in front of her.
“As I prepare for my second title defense, the weight of my journey is hanging heavy on my shoulders. I have faced two formidable opponents in two grueling stipulation matches, and now I am on the cusp of another monumental challenge: defending my championship against Laura Phoenix, a respected veteran of the wrestling world.”
She nodded her head, feeling the excitement building up inside her, but she maintained her cool.
“The road to the championship has been paved with pain, sacrifice, and unwavering determination. My resolve has been tested in the crucible of hardcore wrestling, and I have emerged as a champion who refuses to back down, no matter the odds. But the ultimate test awaits me in the form of Laura Phoenix, and the wrestling world will watch with bated breath to see if Alexandra Calaway can continue her reign as the Bombshell Roulette Champion or crumble at the feet of the Phoenix.”
She smirked, looking into the camera again.
"Laura Phoenix, I want to make something clear right from the start – I respect you. I respect the years you've poured into this industry, the sacrifices, the blood, sweat, and tears that have brought you to where you stand today. Your name is synonymous with excellence, and for good reason. You've earned the admiration of fans worldwide, and that's something that can't be fabricated. It's something that's forged through time and experience."
She takes a brief pause, allowing the weight of her words to linger.
"But here's the thing, Laura. I'm not here to diminish or disrespect your legacy. I'm here to challenge it, to push it to its very limits. The Bombshell Roulette Championship," she gestures to the title, "it's more than just a piece of gold to me. It's a symbol of my dedication, my sacrifices, and my unwavering will to fight for what I believe in."
The room is filled with an almost palpable tension as Alexandra continues.
"I know, Laura, that you're coming for this championship with that same fire, that same dedication. You want to prove that you're still at the top of your game, that you can outperform anyone who steps into the ring with you. And I respect that ambition, I truly do."
She takes a step closer to the camera, her voice growing more intense.
"But let's not kid ourselves. This match, it's not just about titles or prestige. It's about our love for this business, our respect for each other. It's about the countless hours we've spent training, the pain we've endured, and the sacrifices we've made to stand where we are today."
Her eyes seem to burn with an unyielding determination.
"I won't deny it, Laura – I'm willing to go to extremes to defend this championship. I'll push myself to the very brink and then some. Because I understand that to pry this title from my grasp, it's going to take more than just skill; it's going to take almost killing me. And I'm ready for that. Are you?"
She pauses, giving a moment for her words to sink in.
"In that ring, when the bell sounds, it'll be more than just a wrestling match. It'll be a battle of wills, a testament to our shared passion for professional wrestling. It'll be brutal, intense, and unforgettable. And unlike other certain individuals, I won't have to threaten the safety of your family in order to win."
She clenches her fists, her resolve crystal clear. As Alexandra continues her impassioned promo, the weight of the impending match hangs heavy in the air.
"You see, Laura, it's not just about championships and accolades. It's about the legacy we leave behind. The history books of professional wrestling are filled with names of great champions, trailblazers, and icons who've paved the way for future generations. And I have the utmost respect for those who came before us."
She paces back and forth, her words flowing with a blend of reverence and intensity.
"I've always been drawn to the stories of legendary women. Women who broke barriers, who shattered expectations, and who proved that they could excel in a male-dominated industry. They set the standard, and now it's our turn to carry that torch, to add our chapter to that storied history."
The Bombshell Roulette Championship rests on her shoulder, its presence a testament to her journey.
"You've been a part of that journey, Laura. You've left your mark in this business, from the PWSWF to SCW and beyond. Your name is etched in the annals of wrestling greatness, and I respect that. But I also recognize that our paths, though they've never crossed in the past, we will truly collide in a clash of titans unlike they have ever seen in this company.”
The intensity in her eyes never wavers. She takes a moment to pause, soaking in the salt filled air of San Francisco at night.
"It's almost poetic, isn't it? Two women, each with her own legacy, her own story, her own unique style will meet to do battle in the middle of the Sin City Wrestling ring. We together bring a mixture of styles to showcase for everyone just what we are still capable of, for a battle that transcends time. This is more than just a wrestling match; this is a building of legacies, our legacies. Our time is not yet over and it’s time we prove it to each and every one of those ladies in the back."
Her voice takes on a near-preacher's cadence, her words carrying a deeper meaning.
"Laura, I respect you not just as an opponent but as a symbol of what this industry can achieve. You've shown that hard work, dedication, and an unwavering spirit can take you to the highest echelons of wrestling. And I have no doubt that you'll bring all of that to the ring when we face off."
She gestures toward the title on her shoulder, a silent reminder of what's at stake.
"But you must understand, the Bombshell Roulette Championship represents more than just my personal success. It's a symbol of the challenges I've overcome, the obstacles I've conquered, and the sacrifices I've made. I've been to the highest peaks and the darkest depths in my career, and this my Bombshell Roulette Championship, it's a testament to my resilience, my willpower."
Her eyes glisten with a fiery determination. She places a hand on it, looking at it for a moment, soaking in the time she’s having with it.
"In that ring, we'll not only be competing for a championship; we'll be battling for our very legacies. The outcome of this match will be etched in history, and it will be talked about for generations to come. This is our opportunity to carve our names deeper into the annals of wrestling, to inspire the next generation of competitors who look up to us."
Her voice rises, echoing with passion.
"So, Laura, when we step into that ring, let's do more than just wrestle. Let's create a masterpiece, a clash of titans that will stand the test of time. Let's show the world what happens when two warriors, each with her own unique story, collide with the weight of history on their shoulders."
She takes a deep breath, her eyes locked onto the camera.
"This isn't just about winning or losing. It's about forging a moment, a spectacle that will be long remembered. And as we stand face to face, as competitors and as women who've dedicated our lives to this business, let's make this match a testament to our shared love for professional wrestling."
With those resolute words, Alexandra nods, her eyes filled with determination.
"So, Laura Phoenix, bring your A-game, your best moves, and your indomitable spirit, because I'll be doing the same. Let's give these fans a match they'll remember for a lifetime, a match that will solidify our places in the annals of wrestling history. May the best woman win."
With her final words, Alexandra nods, the unspoken challenge clear in her gaze. The room is filled with an electric tension, a sense of anticipation for a match that promises to be nothing short of legendary.

The dim glow of the evening cast long shadows across Alexandra's form as she settled into the wooden bench looking out over the bay. Her Bombshell Roulette Championship, gleaming in the lamplight, rested on her lap, a testament to her recent triumphs. The atmosphere, however, bore an unexpected weight, a tension that lingered like a storm on the horizon.
The soft chime of her phone interrupted the silence, and she reached for it with a sense of anticipation. John's name illuminated the screen, a beacon in the encroaching darkness. With a swift motion, she answered the call, the faint echoes of hope coloring her voice.
"Hey, John. What's going on?"
Instead of the familiar cadence of his voice, a prelude to warmth and familiarity, a voicemail notification punctuated the air. Her brows furrowed in confusion as she tapped to listen, a subtle sense of foreboding settling in her chest.
The voicemail played, his words reaching her like distant echoes, carrying the weight of unspoken burdens.
"Hey, Ally. It's John. I, uh, I needed to head out to Canada for a bit. There are some things I need to handle, and I just... I need some time to think. I'll contact you soon; I promise. Just need to clear my head. Take care, Ally."
The room seemed to contract around her, the ambient sounds of the city outside fading into an indistinct hum. The warmth that usually radiated from the lamp now felt feeble against the encroaching shadows. The weight of John's words settled in the air, a heavy silence stretching between the seconds.
Questions, concerns, and a whirlwind of emotions stirred within her. Alexandra, accustomed to standing resilient against the storms of life, found herself navigating uncharted waters. She replayed the voicemail, parsing each syllable for clues, for a hint of the turmoil he might be facing.
The championship belt, once a symbol of triumph, now lay against the table like a silent companion. In this moment of uncertainty, she felt the cold reality that even champions grappled with challenges beyond the ring. As she stared at the city lights dancing beyond her window, Alexandra braced herself for a storm, both within and without.
With a steadying breath, she whispered to the emptiness around her, "We'll weather this too, John. Together." In the distance thunder rumbled and she turned towards the oncoming storm.
