Steve’s bad luck streak continued at Summer XXXTreme V where he was the last one eliminated from the Golden Briefcase Battle Royal by Matt Spears who is now the holder of the prestigious Golden Briefcase which allows him to challenge for a title whenever he wants and as if things couldn’t get any worse for Steve there was a hashtag going around on Twitter calling for the ban of his fiancé Kaylee from SCW which, though unsuccessful, clearly rubbed Steve the wrong way, however Steve now had a chance to get the last laugh.

At the last Climax Control J2H, who had won the Internet Championship from Lord Raab at Summer XXXTreme to become a Grand Slam Champion, vacated both the World and Internet Champions feeling that there was nothing left for him to do and whilst the new Internet Champion had yet to be determined the bosses wasted no time in announcing how they would determine the new World Champion as a Battle Royal would main event this week’s Climax Control with the winner being awarded the title, the competitors? James Tuscini, Dmitri, Calvin Harris, Matt Spears’ partner in the Elders Eyesane, Samuel McPherson and Steve himself, pretty much everyone expected the winner to be someone other than Steve but stranger things have happened in the wrestling business and this could be the biggest way for Steve to end his losing streak yet but can he win?

Backstage at Climax Control, Las Vegas, Nevada
Sunday the 23rd of July 2017, 11:50pm

I call out the morons and they run and hide, typical.

Encase you’ve been living under a rock since Blaze of Glory back in March, well for one thing I’m not sure if I can think of worse living arrangements than that but more importantly, I’ve been on a losing streak that started with me losing the Roulette Title in a title match that never should’ve happened! And to make matters worse, they left me off the post Summer XXXTreme Climax Control card despite all the bullshit controversy surrounding Kaylee.

The only thing worse to have a controversy about it is the Twilight Franchise in general!

But yeah, I wasn’t happy about that and I issued that statement during the show for a good reason, that was several hours ago and there hasn’t been a peep from the morons calling for Kaylee’s ban, not that Mark Ward was ever going to listen to them off course, why would he pass up on an opportunity to play sexy secretary with a porn star? The only boss complaining is Christian but no one gives a shit about him and he’s too busy drooling over his boy toys to really do much these days other than give then underserving title shots!

And as for Erick, he’s still in the company?

But yeah, aside from the controversy surrounding Kaylee which will die down in a few months guaranteed the biggest news to come out of this week’s Climax Control came in two forms, the debut of Griffin Hawkins and J2H vacating the Internet and World Heavyweight Championships without much fanfare, off course speculation is rife about how they are going to handle the fact that two major championships are now vacant but knowing the bosses they won’t waste any time on the matter.

“So, any word on any challengers?” Cyrus asked as he entered the room with a few drinks in hand, we were still in the room we had used for our promo earlier in the night and where watching the main event between Amy Marshall and Evie Baang for the World Bombshell Championship which was currently wrapping up, I shook my head in response and Cyrus chuckles. “They were so quick to call for Kaylee’s firing yet when you call them out they go silent.”

“What do you expect from the guys behind a Twitter Hashtag? Besides, my hashtag is much better.” I responded before opening the can and taking a sip off my drink. “We’re not going to listen to those idiots either, if the bosses aren’t going to stop us than neither are some idiots behind a twitter hashtag!”

“They’ll find a way to stop you, don’t forget, they still write our paychecks at the end of the month.” Andreas responded and I shook my head. “Besides, we need to focus on next week’s Climax Control because I think it’s clear that if someone does answer your challenge it’ll be booked for next week’s show.”

“Speaking of next week’s show, have they announced the card yet Cyrus?” Kaylee asked and Cyrus shook his head and he leaned against the wall.

“Some stage hands were waiting outside the bosses’ offices for next week’s card as I walked by on the way to the vending machine but there was no change on the way back.” Cyrus responded before sitting down in front of the TV. “How far along are we in the main event?”

“I think it’s going to end soon, match has been going on for a good twenty minutes or so.” I responded with a shrug before there was a knock at the door and Cyrus got up to answer it, after a brief conversation with one of the stage hands he closed the door and tossed me the card. “They just announced next week’s card, the guy said that you should pay extra attention to one of the matches but he didn’t say which.”

“Either a rival of mine has a match next week or I do.” I responded with another shrug before going over the card, I read out each match mentally whilst wondering if I had the week off that week before I spotted my name in the Main Event. “Well, that escalated quickly!”

“What do you mean?” Andreas asked before he, Kaylee and Cyrus leaned in for a better look and I pointed to the Main Event Match. “World Heavyweight Championship Battle Royal, Dmitri, Calvin Harris, Eyesane, James Tuscini, Samuel McPherson and you.” Andreas said before grinning broadly. “Your right, that did escalate quickly and what better way to shut up those morons than to win the top prize in the company?”

“And just think of our celebrations when you do win!” Kaylee added causing me to grin broadly and just as she did the bell rung again signaling the end of the match, we looked up and saw, mostly thanks to the replay, that Evie had won the match with the Toxic Mad to retain the title. “Speaking of celebrations, we should probably clear out whilst Evie is celebrating her successful title defense.”

“Agreed, the card said that the next show is over in Reno so we had better get going.” Cyrus added before my entourage stood up ready to leave. “You want to stay behind and do your promo Steve? We’ll wait for you in the parking lot.”

“See you there.” I responded with a nod and they left without another word, I turned off the TV and wasted no time in getting started on my promo.

“At Summer XXXTreme I thought the Golden Briefcase Match was going to be my best shot at turning my fortunes around and improving my stature here in Sin City Wrestling, what actually happened? Well, I lost obviously but now I find myself with an even bigger opportunity to do just that just two weeks removed from Summer XXXTreme and ironically, I have J2H to thank for it because his vacating of the Internet and World Heavyweight Titles opened this door for me! All I need to do is beat Dmitri, Calvin Harris, Eyesane, James Tuscini and Samuel McPherson in a Battle Royal, easy, right?”

Off course it is! And I’m starting with Dmitri.

“Dmitri, you have your own problems in this match because you are facing your tag team partner James Tuscini in this and you can only work together for so long before it becomes every man for himself and once that happens, I’ll be there to pick up the scraps whether it’s you, James or both guys at the same time, something my fiancé has plenty of experience with, neither of you are walking out the new World Heavyweight Champion!”

Ah fuck it, may as well address James whilst I’m at it.

“You are a persistent thorn in my side James! I can’t seem to escape you and it’s not for lack of trying on my part! But this time James, there will be no highway robbery going on because you’ll be too busy either trying to screw your own partner over or working with him to notice me creeping up on you guys until it’s too late and I’ve already eliminated the two of you! You’ve stolen title opportunities from me so many times that I’m beginning to think that you’re a wrestling kleptomaniac but this time? I’ll be the one stealing your opportunities when I eliminate you!”

Next up is Eyesane.

“The Elders have one member in this match whilst another member holds the Golden Briefcase, if that doesn’t send up so many red flags that it could cover the entirety of Texas then you are either stupid or naïve and knowing the brain trust that usually occupies the SCW main roster I’m going to take a stab in the dark by saying that the other competitors are too dumb to realize this but it’s no matter, I’ll eliminate Eyesane and if Matt Spears tries anything he’ll just run chin first into my Superkick!”

Last up is Samuel and Calvin.

“You know there are two guys in this match that I have to sit back and wonder just how they were even considered for this match and their names are Samuel McPherson and Calvin Harris, two guys who stick out like sore thumbs for all the wrong reasons and for that reason I’m lumping them together because the thing is, the rest of the guys in the match at least have credentials but these guys? Samuel spent so long living in Lord Raab’s shadow that I’m surprised that he hasn’t been called a loyal dog by this point and Calvin has only a handful of matches in SCW to his name! This match won’t be the one where you guys break out so you may as well do us all a favor and eliminate yourselves to save us the trouble!”

And with that I decided to wrap things up.

“Six men, one title but at the end of the day, I’m ending my losing streak in grand fashion when I win the vacant World Heavyweight Championship in this Battle Royal and it’ll be a cold day in hell before the likes of Dmitri, James Tuscini, Eyesane, Samuel and Calvin walk out of this match the World Heavyweight Champion and I have it on good authority that hell is a lovely place this time of year! This message has been paid for and delivered by “The Fearless One” Steve Ramone, the World Heavyweight Champion the fans deserve!”

I exited the room as the scene fades.

 Steve’s hopes at taking the Roulette Title from Kris Halc were dashed as Kris would go on to win what ended up being a “Mystery Box Match” to retain the title in his first defense but did that mean that Steve would get the week off from competition? No, instead Steve was competing in a Triple Threat Roulette Rules Match against Travis Nathanial Andrews, who made his presence known at the end of the match, and Ryan Keys who can’t seem to stay out of Steve’s hair lately but can he win?

Andreas’s farm, Fort Defiance, Arizona
Wednesday the 7th of June 2017, 11:00am

I bet you forgot that Andreas owned a farm out here, didn’t you?

But yeah, since we’re in Arizona for this week’s Climax Control Andreas suggested that we spend the week at his farm rather than at a hotel which we agreed, really the only problem we had was telling the bosses because they had forgotten that Andreas owned some farmland in Arizona as well but we’re here for the whole week and we may as well make the most of it, even if I can’t get good reception out here due to us being in a rural area.

Yeah, I’m already regretting not staying in a hotel, can’t you tell?

But you know what I won’t be regretting? Kicking Ryan and Travis’s ass in the match on Sunday because there’s no way in hell no one else on the roster is getting a title shot ahead of me especially not two of the three men I beat to win the Roulette Title in the first place!

I don’t care if I’ve had my rematch already because certain people have gotten shots at titles without ever earning it and by certain people I mean Ryan Keys and Kris Halc the two men who have robbed me of my SCW Roulette Championship and this Sunday I at the very least get to exact revenge on one of those men and show the world why letting Christian be in charge of booking talent is a bad idea!

Honestly, a blind howler monkey would do a better job than him!

“Another day and another day with next to no internet connection.” Cyrus sighed as he tried, and failed, to get on Pokémon Go for the 50th time this week and no, that’s not an exaggeration, me and Kaylee were watching TV on the couch whilst Andreas was out in the fields tending to the crops and feeding the animals, you have no idea how much I’ve been holding back the urge to make an Old McDonald joke. “Is it too late to go into the city and stay at the hotel that the other SCW wrestlers/on-air talent are using?”

“Already tried that, they gave the rooms that we would’ve had to a family of four which includes a teenage son and daughter and the hotels fully booked.” I responded before glancing back at the TV which had the International News on with the top story being about the upcoming election in England and the recent terrorist attack over there. “Tried several other hotels and no luck there, it seems that fans are coming from all over for this week’s Climax Control.”

“And as annoying as that is, I can at least understand it.” Kaylee commented before yawning. “Huh, I just realized that it’s almost been a year since I first made an on-screen appearance.”

“And my first appearance on the Jeremy Kyle show.” I grunted in annoyance as I leaned back, for those who don’t remember it that was the show the led to the end of my marriage to Charlotte and whilst I have gotten married to Kaylee since then it’s still a painful memory, especially considering that Charlotte would be exposed as a cheat herself when I made my second appearance on the Jeremy Kyle Show. “I’m still surprised Jeremy never invited you out.”

“Yeah, I think he just wanted to get that over with.” Cyrus shrugged his shoulders before Andreas entered the house in his overalls and was about as dirty as one might expect. “Everything all right on the farm?”

“Some animals got lose but we rounded them up.” Andreas responded before he started making his way upstairs. “I’m going to have a shower and get changed, I know Steve has a promo to do so if he can get that done maybe we can go out into the city for a Pokehunt?”

“Sounds good to me, anything’s better than watching the news.” I responded and Kaylee and Cyrus nodded in agreement before they left the room to do something else, now that I was alone I decided to get my promo out of the way, mostly out of boredom but still.

“No one kicks out of the Fearless Shot, NO ONE! I don’t know how much Jacob was paid to screw me over but considering that his incompetence led to my first Roulette Title Reign being cut short by that thief known as James Tuscini I am THIS CLOSE to starting a Change.Org petition to have that idiot fired from Sin City Wrestling for gross incompetence because it’s clear that that moron does not know what the fuck he’s doing as a referee! Fact is that I should be the first four-time champion in SCW history right now and because championship shots aren’t earned these days Travis Nathanial Andrews has stuck his nose in my business!”

And that’s not even the worst part!

“And you know what’s worse? They have booked me in a match against Travis and the other thieving thorn in my side Ryan Keys with Roulette Rules attached for good measure, to put it bluntly I don’t care what the Roulette Wheel stops on because I am entering this match with a mission, screw Travis out of whatever shot he thinks he’s owned for his five minute title reign because hey, if I have to wait several fucking months to get my rightful one on one Roulette Title Shot then so should he!”

And I’m serious!

“Who do you are Travis? Huh? The only reason you are a former Roulette Champion was because I interfered in Chris Shipman’s title defense against you and then you went on to lose it to me at this year’s Blaze of Glory! The only way you could have less of a claim to a title shot is if you went up to the bosses and demanded a title shot on your first day with the company but that’s beside the point! The point is that this Sunday I’m going to kick your ass from pillar to post for interfering in my business.”

And speaking of interferers, next up is Ryan!

“And in Christian’s never ending quest to make his man-crush a future Hall of Famer here’s Ryan Keys potentially getting his twentieth undeserved Roulette Title Shot this year! Only this time I’m not going to let it happen! Instead I am going to beat up Ryan so badly that he will be unrecognizable to his own mother and maybe then that idiot known as Christian will stop putting him in championship contention but to be honest, I’m not holding my breath on that one!”

And with that I decided to wrap things up.

“Back in my day title shots were earned and I mean ACTUALLY earned and not given to random wrestlers on the roster just because they worked hard and this Sunday I’m going to kick the asses of two special snowflakes who have no business being in title contention! Travis, you were a failure as a champion and this Sunday I’ll show the reason why that is a fact and Ryan? I’ve said it before and I said it again but just because the boss finds you cute doesn’t mean you should get title shots and I’m going to prove that this Sunday! This message has been paid for and delivered by “The Fearless Champion” Steve Ramone, the champion the fans deserve!”

I went off to find the others as the scene fades.

 This past month has been rather interesting for Steve, opting not to compete in the Blast from the Past Tournament for the first time since his debut Steve would go on to lose the Roulette Championship to Ryan Keys in a Tuxedo Match in the Main Event of the first Climax Control since Blaze of Glory, Steve, off course, claimed that the match was rigged but he got a chance to put his money where his mouth is two weeks later when he would take on James Tuscini in a match where Ryan would serve as ref.

However that match would never happen as during the week Steve and Kaylee where involved in an accident where Kaylee bit down on Steve’s penis during a blowjob forcing him to miss that week’s Climax Control due to needing a hospital stay, despite several people, including the Metal and Punk Connection, thinking that Steve was either faking the injury or exaggerating it the injury was apparently legitimate as the bosses were handed a doctor’s note at that very Climax Control, the following week Steve would return to officiate a match between Ryan and James and he, off course, got up to his usual antics throughout the match which was ultimately won by James, later that night Mark dropped a bombshell when he announced that not only was former SCW Tag Team Champion Kris Halc getting a shot at Into the Void but Steve would face off against Kris at Climax Control 179 which he was medically cleared to compete in, that show was this week and was the go home show for Into the Void but can Steve finally reverse his fortunes?

Boston Brewery Tour, Boston MA
Thursday the 27th of April 2017, 18:00pm

Why am I out drinking just days before I’m scheduled to compete in a Roulette Rules match that also happens to be the opening contest of the last Climax Control before Into the Void? Because I fucking need a drink!

For those who have been living under a rock this past month has been hell for me! First I lost the Roulette Title to Ryan Keys again in my first defense, why? Because he’s Christian’s latest boy-toy, that’s why! Then again from what I’ve heard they are interested in signing some Samoan Wrestler who might replace Ryan as Christian’s boy-toy so that favoritism might not last much longer with any luck, anyway back on topic, two weeks later I was scheduled to compete against James Tuscini in a match where Ryan Keys was the ref and what happened?

You know what? I’ll show you what happened (and no, I’m not going to flash you, I’d like to avoid being arrested for indecent exposure thank you very much)!

*flashback*

It happened the Thursday morning and I had scheduled promo time for that evening, but since I had a few hours to go before that Kaylee decided (and I readily agreed) to have sex with me in my hotel room so I quickly kicked out Cyrus who was in the room playing Pokémon Go at the time.

“Anything good?” Andreas asked as he approached Cyrus, they were on the opposite end of the hallway from my hotel room and Cyrus shook his head.

“The hotel’s too far away from the nearest Pokestop and so far, all I’ve seen around here is the common stuff from both gens.” Cyrus responded with a frown on his face little knowing what was going to happen next. “I’m thinking we should go out into the city and see if we can have any luck, since it’s early morning traffic and all we should be okay to drive around.”

“And what about the lovebirds?” Andreas asked and Cyrus nodded knowing exactly who he meant.

“I’ll send Steve a text before we go but I think he’s going to be a little busy with Kaylee.” Cyrus responded as he folded his arms. “And as long as nothing goes wrong……...” Just as Cyrus said that they heard my high-pitched scream coming from the hotel room I shared with Kaylee. “Was that Steve?”

“Had to be, I’ve heard him attempt high pitched vocals at karaoke to know what he sounds like high pitched.” Andreas responded before frowning. “Aren’t we on the other side of the hallway from his room though?” Andreas asked and Cyrus’s eyes widened before they ran towards our room, before they could reach it the door opened and Kaylee emerged using the bedsheet to cover her naked body and looking a little flustered.

“Err, guys, you’re going to need to call an ambulance.” Kaylee said upon seeing them approach. “I was going down on Steve, everything was going well until…….” Kaylee trailed off before motioning to my naked form in a fetal position clutching my balls in pain.

“You bit him?!” Cyrus asked with a look of disbelief on his face. “Kaylee, your day job is to fuck people on camera, you must’ve sucked thousands of dicks in your time, hell the how did you forget the “no biting” rule?!” Cyrus asked before pausing. “And that is not a sentence I expected to say today, or ever.”

“I don’t know, it just happened!” Kaylee responded before grabbing the door with her free hand. “Look, just call for the damn ambulance and try to think of a way to explain this to Steve’s insurance company! In the meantime, I’m going to get dressed!” Kaylee added before slamming the door shut, it was well timed as well as Steve’s scream had woken up several other hotel guests, including some kids, and they were coming out to see what the noise was.

“Andreas, tell the guests who don’t have kids what happened, as for ones who have kids, tell them to cover their ears or something, I’ve got an ambulance to call.” Cyrus told the Swedish man who nodded before going over to the guests. “Miranda is going to laugh her ass off when I tell her about this, until I clarify that yes, it actually happened.” Cyrus muttered under his breath before walking off.

*end flashback*

So yeah, I ended up missing that week’s Climax Control and by extension my match, officially it was said that my match was rescheduled for this week’s Climax Control but “Card Subject to Change” is at the bottom of every card that gets posted so here I am, facing Kris Halc on this week’s Climax Control in a Roulette Rules Match and just to make my month even worse they added Kris to the match as an extra big “fuck you” to me!

I’m beginning to wonder just who I pissed off in a past life.

Obviously, I’ve recovered from the “mishap” with Kaylee and right now I’m using this brewery tour thing as an excuse take my mind off of things, the tour is just about over and we’re just chilling out at the moment.

“Steve, when you said that we should go on the brewery tour, I thought you were kidding.” Cyrus commented as he leaned forward on the bar we were at. “I know you’ve had a stressful month but couldn’t this wait until after Into the Void?”

“Considering that Into the Void will be the first show in the month of May? No, it couldn’t.” I responded before I took a sip from my drink, the tour was over and most of the guys on the tour had gone back to their hotels/homes but us? We just headed for the nearest bar. “Besides, the mid-west tour is ending at Into the Void so we won’t get another chance like this.”

“We could’ve gone to a bar back in Vegas.” Andreas pointed out with a smirk and I shook my head in response. “Not like the city is lacking in terms of bars.”

“It isn’t lacking in bars but finding a good metal bar is another problem entirely.” I responded and the others nodded in agreement. “Right now, my focus is on becoming the first four-time Roulette Champion in SCW history in front of my home city of Queens.”

“That reminds me, are Corey and Sarah going to the event?” Kaylee asked as she turned to me off course referring to my brother in law, former tag team partner and retired wrestler Corey Steele and my younger sister and retired wrestler Sarah, they aren’t that much younger than me but they retired for the same reasons, catastrophic injuries ending their careers at their peaks. “You haven’t mentioned them that much since Into the Void was announced as taking place in New York City.”

“You never asked.” I responded with a nod before taking another sip. “They called me on Skype after Into the Void was confirmed at be taking place in New York, they said that they had brought front row tickets the minute they went on sale.” I added before grinning a bit. “They also called me to tell me that I was going to be an uncle.”

“Wait, seriously?” Cyrus asked and I nodded before they gave me a congratulatory pat on the back. “Why didn’t you say so earlier?”

“They wanted to tell the family members themselves and wanted me to keep quiet about it until they posted about it on Social Media.” I responded before getting my IPhone out and looking for the post in question, once I found it I showed it to them showing them Sarah posting a pic of a UV scan of their baby. “Once I saw this post I know it was okay to start telling people.”

“Congrats man.” Cyrus added with a grin as I put my IPhone away. “So, do they know what gender their kid will have?”

“Sarah got pregnant in mid-March, didn’t confirm it until early April which was right before they called me.” I added as I turned to them. “In other words, too early to tell, Sarah’s hoping for a girl, Corey’s hoping for a boy, I’m just hoping that they want to be a wrestler when they grow up.”

“Either way, we’re happy for you, though I don’t think Sarah will be that willing to have me around the kid because of my profession.” Kaylee commented with a frown on my face. “I mean, Corey liked me well enough when we trained with him for Blaze of Glory but let’s face it, the only person who’s a worse role model for a kid, regardless of gender, than a pornstar is a prostitute.”

“We’ll cross that bridge when we come to it, namely when we arrive in New York next week as Corey’s letting us stay at his home.” I responded and they nodded in agreement, the rest of the night went by quietly and two hours later it was time to go. “You guys go on ahead, I’ve got a promo to do and I’m pretty sure that I’m in no shape to drive,”

“Yeah, you’re not, we’ll get the rental car ready.” Cyrus responded before the three of them exited the bar, the bar staff weren’t paying attention to me so I started my promo.

“This was supposed to be my month, I was supposed to hold onto the Roulette Title for a long time and end the trend of it being hot potatoed and what happened? Christian awarded Ryan Keys a shot for no other reason than “man crush”, I lost the title in a Tuxedo Match, I had to miss a Climax Control because my fiancé took a bite out of my dick and now that I’m finally cleared to wrestle again the bosses said, “screw Steve’s rematch clause, we’re adding two underserving jackasses to the match just because!”, said jackasses before James Tuscini and Kris Halc and to add further insult to injury I am facing Kris Halc in this week’s opening match which just so happens to be a Roulette Rules Match!”

Seriously, what have I done to the bosses?!

“Doesn’t matter anyway because I’m going to kick Kris’s ass so hard that he’ll have to sit out of the match and miss Into the Void! Kris, I don’t give a shit what stipulation the wheel stops on, it could stop on “evening gown match” for all I care because I am going to fucking destroy you in this match because according to Mark’s logic being a former tag team champion and showing up to work every week means that you deserve a Roulette Title Shot!”

The double standards are sickening.

“Now I don’t know if you know this about me and I don’t give a shit either way but I am also a former Tag Team Champion and I show up to work every week! The only reason I missed that one Climax Control was because I was in hospital but apparently that is enough reason for Mark to screw me over in terms of my rightful title shot but like I said, it doesn’t matter because I’m going to enjoy eliminating the competition one by one until I get my rightful rematch!”

It’s that simple.

“Kris, you are an undeserving challenger, James is an undeserving challenger, Ryan was an underserving challenger who got lucky with the god damn Roulette Wheel! I’m sure that whoever makes the names plaques for SCW’s title belts is sick of having to create new ones for the Men’s Roulette Title but I don’t give a shit because after I kick your ass Kris I am going to win back my title and I swear to god, if Christian finds some excuse to give Ryan another fucking chance then I am going to scream!”

And with that I decided to wrap things up.

“I am going into the next Supercard with one goal in mind, leave my home city as the first four-time Roulette Champion and I’ll be damned if Kris Halc gets in my way! The fact that you are a former champion who shows up to work every week doesn’t make you a worthy challenger Kris, hard work does and I put in a lot of hard work in the lead up to Blaze of Glory to ensure that I would be the Roulette Champion again and at Into the Void I will repeat history but first I’m going to kick your ass, this message has been paid for and delivered by “The Fearless Champion” Steve Ramone, the champion the fans deserve!”

I left the bar as the scene fades.

 Well, Steve was true to his word because as soon as Ryan had his first title defense since Inception II Steve stuck his nose in and cost Ryan the title, this was bad enough but the man who took the title from Ryan was none other than Chris Shipman, yes, the Original Psycho was now the SCW Roulette Champion and we could all thank Steve Ramone for it, add in the fact that Travis Nathaniel Andrews had made it known earlier in the show that he intended to challenge for the Roulette Title and things where quickly becoming a convoluted mess.

But before he could address any of that Steve had his own problems, this week on Climax Control he was taking on another former SCW Roulette Champion in the form of Jeremiah Hardin, Jeremiah had recently returned to SCW minus his bigger brother Sebastian and he seemed set to make a name for himself in single’s competition once again, not if Steve had his way and given the fact that he had just ensured that the period of time where he couldn’t challenge for the Roulette Title was a very short one Steve was on high spirits but could he win?

Local café, Santa Barbara, California
Friday 17th of February 2017, 11:00am

All I want is some god damn peace and quiet!

But no, try to put an end to a stipulation that stagnates my current career path and suddenly I’m the bastard child of the devil and Hitler! And here I thought that the result of that unholy union for Donald Trump! But yeah, encase you missed Climax Control for whatever reason I ended Ryan’s title reign by having Kaylee and two other women interfere in the match leaving Ryan open to from Chris Shipman ultimately costing him the title.

And yet, the world wants to know why? I’d almost say that people can’t be that stupid but then I look at the Brexit and the fact that Donald fucking Trump is now the US President!

Why should I have to explain myself? The SCW brass made it clear that they were out to sabotage my career when they made it so that I couldn’t challenge for the Roulette Title as long as Ryan was champ if I lost the match at Inception II and believe me, if all my attempts had failed I would’ve sent my lawyers to SCW HQ faster than you can say “this is bullshit”!

What’s that? It’s unfair that Ryan didn’t enjoy a long title reign? BOO FUCKING HOO, neither did I but people aren’t out for Ryan’s blood, aren’t they? Then again if they were he left a lot on the arena floor so yeah, there’s that.

Anyway, as you know I usually come to local cafés to relax and plan things for the following week, not this week because of the issues and it’s gotten to the point where Andreas and Cyrus are here with me and Kaylee not so much as guests but more so actually doing their jobs and bodyguarding me! I know, crazy, right? Next thing you know is that we’ll show an uncensored version of Kaylee’s day job!

And that promo would be taken down quicker than you can say “she’s a porn star”.

“You know Steve.” Cyrus said as he and Andreas acted as a wall between us and the angry fans. “If you had just let Ryan’s reign end on his own we wouldn’t be here!”

“And let that idiot tarnish MY TITLE? Never!” I responded and the crowd booed. “You guys are even bigger idiots for thinking that he was even worthy of my title in the first place!”

“Never thought I’d be this airtight with three men with my clothes on.” Kaylee muttered under her breath as she continued to eat her food, once she swallowed her latest bite she turned to me. “I told you we should’ve laid low back in Vegas.”

“And I told you that we barely have enough fuel in the car for two back and forth trips from Vegas to Santa Barbara, let alone three!” I responded as I rolled my eyes. “And don’t even get me started on air travel costs.”

“Okay, maybe not Vegas but we could’ve stayed in the hotel for the whole week before we had to get to Climax Control!” Kaylee suggested before grinning. “And I definitely would’ve found ways to make that worth it!”

“As much as I like the thought of that, I’d still get bored.” I responded before shaking my head. “How did you get Rachel and Sarah backstage in the first place? Taylor, I could understand since she is a former porn star training to be a wrestler but they are porn stars who happen to be wrestling fans.”

“Remember what Kelly said back when I had sex with her on camera for that promo?” Kaylee asked and I nodded enthusiastically. “Same applied to the guards working last week’s show, though I think at this rate the bosses might start hiring either gay men or straight women as security guards.”

“As if the bosses didn’t have enough eye candy.” I muttered under my breath getting a laugh out of Kaylee, as we finished our meal the crowd finally seemed to disperse and I let out a sigh of relief. “Good, maybe now we can leave without being lynched.”

“You might still be jumped in the parking lot so let us go out there and make sure the coast is clear, besides you have a bill to pay.” Cyrus pointed out and we nodded in response before Cyrus and Andreas headed out and Kaylee stood up and got her purse out in the meantime.

“I’ll go cover the bill and give her a nice tip for putting up with a crowd of angry wrestling fans for so long.” Kaylee said as she motioned to the waitress who had been serving us and seemed just as relieved as we were that they had left. “Just saying, if you want to do your promo, do it now.”

“Good idea.” I nodded in response and Kaylee grinned before going over to the waitress, now that I was alone I got started on my promo.

“Why did I cost Ryan the title? I did what I had too, Ryan is an unworthy champion and whilst Chris is a lunatic I’ve faced him enough times to know that he’ll do the title justice but whilst I brace myself for the fallout from that match I have a match of my own to deal with and wouldn’t you fucking know it? My opponent is a former SCW Roulette Champion himself! Give it up for the “Dark Tiger” Jeremiah Hardin! Yes, seriously!”

I said as I shook my head.

“First the Fallen, then Ben Jones and now Jeremiah Hardin? If I didn’t know any better, I’d say that SCW’s annual mixed Tag Team Blast from the Past Tournament was coming up and former SCW wrestlers were coming out of the woodwork to compete in it! And for the record, I refuse to participate because of how bad my partners in recent years have been! Well Jeremiah, if you are back for the tournament then you are already on a bad path with your recent loss to Despayre and I’m here to continue you down that path!”

You can probably guess where it leads.

“It won’t matter in the end, once the tournaments over you’ll fade back into obscurity alongside all the other washed up SCW stars back for the Tournament! And besides, the companies moved past you Hardin and I’ll prove it when I kick your ass! This Sunday will be the point where pretty much every former star will start to regret their decision to return after I kick your ass so hard that your steroid freak of a brother won’t recognize you.”

I could go on but I won’t.

“My point is Jeremiah is that you are washed up and I’m here to prove it once and for all, ROAR was a good tag team, you had a good run with the SCW Roulette Championship but that was several years ago and a lot can change in that time, this Sunday night I’ll show you that a lot can change in a single night as well after I kick you so hard that the upper half of your body will land in the goddamn cheap seats leaving me free to pin you with absolutely no fear of you getting the shoulder up!”

And with that I decided to wrap things up.

“Everyone wants an explanation for why I screwed Ryan out of a title, my answer is this: why do I have to explain myself to idiots who don’t understand what it takes to succeed in this business? I did what I had too and this Sunday I’ll do what I must to win the match against Jeremiah Hardin and send a message to all the pretenders to my title! This message has been paid for and delivered by “The Fearless Champion” Steve Ramone the true Roulette Champion!”

Once Cyrus gave the all clear we left as the scene fades.

 2016 was coming to an end in just a couple of days and for many they were happy to see the year end what with all the celebrity deaths, political turmoil and other stuff that had happened over the past year or so, however as far as the wrestling career of Steve Ramone was concerned 2016 was his best year yet as he was finally able to win singles gold for the first time since the GWA closed seven years ago,

Whilst we would later lose the title on his second defense he would later reclaim it at High Stakes VI and since then he’s been very protective off the title, however the bosses want to see him as a fighting champion and they didn’t have to look far to find an eager challenger in the form of Ryan Keys who came within an inch of winning the title from James Tuscini only for Steve to screw him over by proposing the Kaylee, the week before the Christmas Special Ryan managed to get a win in singles competition over Steve and now, on the last Climax Control of the year the two men would clash in the Main Event with the Roulette Title on the line but can Steve win?

Set of a Christmas themed porno, Las Vegas, Nevada
Thursday the 29th of December 2016, 18:00pm

The sooner this god damned year can be over and done with, the better.

Oh sure, this year has been my best in SCW yet even if it started with me being paired with Alexis Edwards in the Blast from the Past Tournament, after all I won the Roulette Title twice and came within a hair of taking the Internet Championship from Rage only to have that ruined the moment Kain was added to the match but between the Electoral College flushing this country down the shitter with the election of Trump and all the celebrity deaths I’m just ready for this year to over with!

And wouldn’t you know it? My first opponent of 2017 is Ryan Keys and to make matters worse he’s challenging for the Roulette Title, not since the OJ Simpson Trial has there been such a massive miscarriage of justice!

I’ll go into more detail about Ryan later but first I think I know what’s on your mind, I’m at the set of another porno? And why are they filming a porno based on Christmas just after Christmas? Well, in order: 1: yes, 2: filming started just before the holiday season but there were minor delays due to Kaylee being on the road with me and SCW and besides, the film, titled “Mrs. Clause’s Naughty List”, is set for release next holiday season.

So no, the holiday rush doesn’t apply to anything other than video games and toys!

“Just when I thought I saw it all.” Cyrus commented as he shook his head, like last time Kaylee was off filming a scene though this time it was a solo scene in Santa’s Sleigh, yeah. “Then I see a woman pleasuring herself with a candy cane vibrator in Santa’s Sleigh, I’m seriously tempted to just tell my daughter that Santa isn’t real once she’s old enough to understand Christmas.”

“Oh, come on, it’s not that bad!” I protested as the scene continued. “And yeah, we’ve seen other Christmas Themed Sex Toys in action.”

“And we haven’t even gotten to the candy cane butt plug. I can’t believe I just said the words “candy cane” and “butt plug” in the same sentence.” Andreas commented as he read through the script that Kaylee had left on her chair, it was then that he noticed the odd looks he was getting from us. “You haven’t read that far into the script?”

“I haven’t read the script full stop, mostly because I’m not a performer.” Cyrus pointed out as Kaylee finished her scene. “Also, two things: one, this movie has officially ruined candy canes for me, two, I’m not even going into the health risks of getting naked when it’s snowing.”

“Really? This film is set in a world where Christmas Themed Sex Toys are a thing but your latching onto Hypothermia caused by sex as the most unrealistic thing in this film?” I asked with an amused look on my face and before you ask, no it’s not being filmed on location, rather at a sound stage, any scene that marked as “outside” is being done in front of a green screen and props but the indoor scenes are taking place in a Santa’s Workshop that the director had built for the film alongside the props and the sex toys, no prizes for guessing where most of the budget went. “And besides, complaining about the lack of realism in a porno is like complaining about getting vegetables in a salad!”

“Yeah, I know, porn isn’t exactly known for realistic plots, or any plot for that matter.” Cyrus responded as he shook his head. “But still!”

“Is he still complaining about the plot?” Kaylee asked as she walked over having just gotten dressed into the outfit she was wearing for the films non-sex scenes which was an even more revealing version of the outfit she wore for the Christmas Special and the show before it. “How many times do I have to say this? A realistic porno is a boring porno.”

“Yeah and I never thought I’d hear the words “boring porno” in my life.” I nodded in agreement as Andreas passed Kaylee her script. “But even so, Christmas Themed Sex Toys?”

“What can I say? The director went a little overboard with the concept of “Mrs. Clause and her harem of horny men and women make sex toys for all the naughty couples”.” Kaylee responded with a slight laugh before checking her script. “Okay, my next scene is a lesbian one but there’s a couple of scenes before that and both of threesomes, one features a guy and two of the other girls, other features three of the girls, after my scene there’s just the orgy to go.”

“I still can’t get over how casual you are about these sex scenes.” Cyrus commented as he shook his head. “Or sex in general.”

“It’s like I said before, in this profession sex is just another part of your work hours.” Kaylee shrugged her shoulders, the scenes continued until we reached the first of the two threesome scenes, just before it started Kaylee turned to me. “Okay, things are about to get a bit noisy in here and I know that you have a promo to do, luckily I asked the director to secure a room for you.”

“Thanks Kaylee, at least this time I won’t have to miss your next sex scene.” I responded before standing up and, after a production assistant pointed me in the right direction, I went off towards the room that would’ve gone unused otherwise and I entered it just as the scene began, though once I closed the door I realized that the noises from the scene (you know the ones) couldn’t be heard from the room which made it perfect for my promo.

“The new year is upon us and compared to how I ended 2015 this year hasn’t been too bad, setting aside all the non-wrestling shit that’s happened this year.” I said as I hoisted the Roulette Championship over my shoulder. “The fact that I have a 50/50 chance of going into the New Year as a two time and current Roulette Champion just drives that point home! However, to start the New Year, the right way I have to make sure that history doesn’t repeat itself twice as I face Ryan Keys in the first Main Event of Climax Control in 2017 with the Roulette Title on the line!”

I said with a grin.

“Beat me once, shame on you for getting lucky, beat me twice, shame on me for failing for your tactics for the second time, beat me three times? Excuse me a minute.” I said before laughing hysterically for a good few minutes. “Normally I’d say lightning doesn’t strike twice but as I’ve already pointed out that’s not the case with this match! Ryan, you may have gotten lucky twice against me but now that my Roulette Championship is on the line and Tommy Knocks isn’t around to make his idiotic predictions I am that much more fired up to beat you, retain the Roulette Title and have a live sex celebration with Kaylee as Climax Control goes off the air!”

Okay, maybe not that last part.

“New Year means New Year’s Resolutions but as far as I’m concerned Ryan your New Year’s Resolution should be to survive this match! Now as we both know we won’t find out what the stipulation is until after Ms. Rocky Mountains gives the Roulette Wheel a spin but no matter what the wheel stops on I’m going to destroy you in that ring in pretty much the same way that I destroy Kaylee’s sweet, sweet ass whenever I have sex with her!”

And then I realized what I just said.

“AND JUST TO CLARIFY, I AM NOT IMPLYING THAT I WANT TO HAVE SEX WITH RYAN KEYS! I mean for fuck’s sake, I have nothing against gays but I’m as straight as a straight man can be! As I was saying, this match will be the shortest Roulette Title Match and Main Event in SCW History, the only way it could possibly be any shorter is if me and my bodyguards attacked you before the match began and hit you with all our finishers before the bell rang but considering how pissed off the fans would be if I did that and I don’t want to get on the bosses bad sides I won’t be doing that, what I will do is demonstrate just how unworthy you are of challenging me!”

It's that simple.

“What’s that? I screwed you out of winning the title from James Tuscini? Boo hoo, go whine about it on Twitter! You have three victories over me? Congratulations, have a four-leaf clover because with the amount of luck you have you might win the state lottery and retire from wrestling for good! It would make my job easier but at the end of the day we both know that there’s only one way this match is going to end, with me pinning your shoulders to the matt for the three count and securing not only my first win of 2017 but also my first Roulette Title defense.”

And with that I decided to wrap things up.

“The truth is Ryan, you’re not worthy to shine my fiancé’s dildos, let alone challenge me for the Roulette Title and I will demonstrate this fact at the first Climax Control of 2017 where I kick your ass to the curb and prove to the world that your previous victories over me where all flukes! Not only that but I’ll also prove that the only reason you had a shot against me in the first place was because Christian has a crush on you! This message has been paid for and delivered by “The Fearless One” Steve Ramone, the Roulette Champion the fans deserve!”

I left the room as the scene fades.

 Going into James Tuscini’s Roulette Title defense against Ryan Keys last week on Climax Control everyone expected Steve Ramone to watch the match from his dressing room fuming as he did, that wasn’t the case however as, thanks to some setting up by Andreas and Cyrus earlier in the night and a mysterious blackout happening just as Ms. Rocky Mountains spun the wheel to determine the match type the wheel landed on Steve’s Rules, a ruleset that Steve had created when he was SCW Roulette Champion earlier this year.

And as if that wasn’t bad enough for Ryan and James Kaylee was introduced as the Ring Girl for the match and (off course) Andreas and Cyrus were introduced as Steve’s enforcers, needless to say hijinks ensued ranging from Kaylee getting involved twice, a pornographic clip staring Kaylee playing for thirty seconds in the middle of the match and ultimately culminating in Steve proposing to Kaylee just when it seemed that Ryan was about to win his first title in SCW, this gave James the chance he needed to make his comeback and successfully retain the Roulette Title but not long after the match ended Steve laid him out with the Fearless Shot before staking his claim to a Roulette Title Shot.

Those actions were apparently enough for the bosses to propel Steve up the rankings and gain a shot at the Roulette Title but before that match could happen he found himself in a Fatal Four Way Match with three of his old enemies, Chris Shipman, Travis Nathanial Andrews and Andrew Garcia of the recently returned Dying Breed, not only that but it was the weekend before Halloween which meant that it was time for SCW’s annual Halloween Special where all the matches would have Halloween themed stipulations attached to them, the other matches on their own would be good enough to Main Event a regular edition of Climax Control which only made this card all the more special but can Steve win?

Evangeline’s Costume Mansion, Sacramento, California

Don’t you love it when a plan comes together?

I had been racking my brain trying to think of a way that I could get involved in the Ryan Keys vs. James Tuscini match for the Roulette Championship ever since last week’s card was announced and it wasn’t until Wednesday when inspiration hit me whilst I was binge watching episodes of Climax Control from earlier this year and the episode where I was the Special Guest Referee in a Roulette Rules Match came up, from there the plan was set in motion.

And then we realized that there was no way in hell that the same tricks would work twice and since Mark wasn’t around to add the stipulation to the Roulette Wheel at the time we had to be sneaky about it, the porn clip? Kaylee’s idea, she originally wanted to use a clip from Ride Her Cowboy AKA the porn film that she filmed earlier this year but the DVD wasn’t coming out for another month and most of her work for Internet Porn Sites had bad video quality, at least the stuff not done for Brazzers and she eventually settled on Jungle Sex Party.

Then we had to pick a clip and then we had to censor Kaylee’s tits and vagina for obvious reasons, turns out the only pornographic clip in the whole movie where her face was directly facing the camera was the anal sex clip you saw on the titentron for thirty seconds, basically it was the most fun I’ve ever had editing a clip but as for the proposal towards the end of the match? Not only was it my idea but Kaylee was just as surprised as everyone else, plus just to rub salt in my ex-wife’s wound I used the same engagement ring as I did when I proposed to Charlotte on the last ever GWA PPV.

I am looking forward to when I return to Vegas and not for the reasons you may think!

As for my match against Garcia, TNA and Shipman, I can’t help but think that this is Christian’s way of getting back at me for ruining the Roulette Title Match because, as anyone who’s followed my post GWA career will tell you, I’ve had plenty of dealings with all of these men and as far as Shipman and TNA are concerned I have at least one victory over both of them, not only that but I competed in the first ever Shipman’s House of Fun match in SCW to boot so if anything I should know these guys like the back of my hand!

As for Garcia, I don’t have any wins over him but I have plenty of wins over his mentor Casey Williams!

I’ll get into more detail about that later but for now I’ll set the scene and besides, it does have some relevance to the Halloween Show! More specifically we are choosing our costumes for the show and like in previous years we are going for somewhere local to get our costumes for the sake of convenience, that and I just really like the name of this place so it’s a win-win situation for me.

Especially considering that Kaylee has her mind set on wearing a Sexy Halloween Costume!

“Seriously Kaylee, why aren’t you going for a Harley Quinn from Suicide Squad costume?” Cyrus wondered out loud as Kaylee searched through the women costumes the place had on sale and Kaylee rolled her eyes in response. “It’s practical, at least as far as female supervillain costumes go, and aren’t you a natural blonde?”

“First of all, I’m a natural redhead, you must have me confused with someone else.” Kaylee responded with an annoyed look on her face, Cyrus and Andreas had already chosen their costumes going as Michael Myers and Leatherface respectively whilst I was still undecided. “Second, because that movie fucking sucks and DC can’t make a decent Superhero Flick to save their lives!”

“Yeah I’m not getting into that argument again.” Andreas said as he put his hands up defensively referring to an argument they had when they realized that Doctor Strange was coming out this year, all I’m saying is that it got so heated that the police had to be called because our neighbors thought that there was a domestic violence incident going on. “Besides if she wants to wear a Sexy Halloween Costume, let her! I mean we both know that she’s worn skimpier outfits than that in her movies!”

“That’s not the problem, wearing a Native American Costume is not only racist but culturally insensitive and don’t get me started on some of the other costumes.” Cyrus responded and Kaylee rolled her eyes again. “I mean, look at these soldier uniforms, are they trying to promote violence?”

“That, coming from a guy who chose, willingly, to go as one of the most iconic serial killers in movie history not to mention the fact that you are a former marine.” Kaylee pointed out and Cyrus went to respond. “Ring, ring, hello is that SJW Pot? This is Kettle and I would like to inform you that you are black and need to grow some balls.”

“I don’t even have an answer for that, well put.” Cyrus admitted with a laugh as Kaylee grabbed a Police Officer Costume. “But I don’t need to be a Social Justice Warrior to realize that wearing a Police Officer Uniform after all the Police Brutality Cases in recent years would be a bad move.”

“Yeah, I can’t really argue with that.” Kaylee admitted with a frown which was when I decided to chime in.

“Get it anyway, it’ll come in handy for when we decide to do a bit of roleplaying for our sex sessions.” I responded and Kaylee grinned apparently loving the idea. “Well, officer I’ve been a bad boy, I think you need to punish me.”

“And I’m going to cut off Kaylee before I head over to the nearest bar to purge that thought from my memory.” Andreas quickly chimed in as he and Cyrus shuddered in response, Kaylee set the Police Officer Costume aside before settling on a Sexy Grim Reaper Costume. “Wow, that might be skimpier than some of your porn outfits, not counting the scenes that you are naked for off course.”

“I didn’t even think that that was possible.” Kaylee responded with a laugh before she headed into the dressing room to try it on, a few minutes passed and she emerged with the outfit on and our jaws dropped to the floor. “So, thoughts?”

“My wife is going to kill me for this.” Cyrus responded and Andreas quickly nodded in agreement whilst I just sat there dumbfounded, she returned to the dressing room to get changed out of the costume apparently happy with her choice and once she returned she put it with the Police Officer Costume. “So that just leaves you Steve.”

“Honestly I can’t decide.” I responded as I looked around. “Come to think of it don’t you have special zombie makeup from when you went as, well, a zombie for Halloween one year Cyrus?”

“Yeah, I brought it with me encase I couldn’t decide on a costume.” Cyrus nodded in response and I made my decision right there and then. “Well, if that’s everything I’ll go pay for the costumes.”

“Go ahead.” I nodded in response and Cyrus picked up the costumes to take up to the counter. “I’ll meet up with you guys in a bit, I’ve got a promo to do.”

“Got it, we’ll let Cyrus know.” Kaylee nodded in response and I got up and left the store, I headed into a nearby alleyway hoping that it would give me some privacy as I got ready to do my promo.

“Last week I couldn’t sit idly by and let James Tuscini and Ryan Keys compete for a title that I never should’ve lost to begin with so I did the right thing by making an otherwise boring match much more exciting with the Steve’s Rules Stipulation and once I helped James retain I made it clear that I wasn’t done with him! Apparently the long overdue rematch for the SCW Roulette Championship between me and James will have to wait a few more weeks but until then I find myself in a huge match!”

And I’m not going to lose it.

“Hell a one-on-one match between me and any of my three opponents would’ve been huge on its own but when you throw myself, Chris Shipman, Travis Nathanial Andrews and Andrew Garcia into the same Fatal Four Way Match with the Halloween stipulations attached there’s no telling what will happen between the opening and ending bell but there is one guarantee, that I am going to walk out the winner once the bell rings again!”

First up is Travis.

“I’m starting with Travis for one reason, he’s the man who I faced the most recently out of the three opponents and on top of that he was one of three opponents that I beat to win the Roulette Title to begin with back when it was vacated at the beginning of the year! Well, Travis we find ourselves in yet another Fatal Fourway Match and whilst there isn’t a Battle Royal at the end of the night which I’ll also be competing in the end result will be the same, I will beat you again!”

Next up is Shipman!

“Chis Shipman, the original psycho, competing at a Halloween Event, what next? Are you going to give a Cannibal a cooking class taught by Gordon Ramsey? Actually I’d pay good money to see that but that’s beside the point! Shipman over the last summer you waged your own campaign against James and guess what? You lost your only shot at Summer XXXTreme, you may be thinking, among all the twisted thoughts you have in your head, that this will be a perfect opportunity to propel yourself to a shot at James so when I do beat you I’ll personally tell you to get back in line!”

Last but not least is Garcia.

“Who the hell was calling for a Dying Breed return? Aside from Garcia’s brief Roulette Title Reign and their even briefer Tag Title Reign that was ended by the motherfucking Surf Boys they never did much of note and it wasn’t long before Casey came out of retirement and they disappeared off the face of the Earth, well as the old saying goes those who don’t learn from history are doomed to repeat it and on Sunday I’ll do to you what I did to your mentor almost every time we were in the same ring for a match, kick your ass!”

And with that I decided to wrap things up.

“Travis? Doesn’t matter, Shipman? Terrifying but irrelevant, Garcia, do I even need to say anything other than his name? What I’m getting at is that this match is a glorified workout session for me as I move towards my long overdue rematch with James Tuscini for the Roulette Championship and unlike Shipman I’ll actually succeed in taking the belt from him, unlike Travis I’ll actually get close enough to touch the title and unlike Garcia I’ll hold it for a lot longer than two weeks! This message has been paid for and delivered by “The Fearless One” Steve Ramone, the champion the fans deserve!”

I went off to join the others as the scene fades.

 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.

 Steve’s night at Into the Void V didn’t go as planned as he lost the chance at the Roulette Championship though he wasn’t pinned or forced to submit as James made Matt Spears submit to his torture rack, on top of all that Steve’s troubles at home with reached a fever pinch as Charlotte not only knows about his mistress but one of the women he spent a night with back in January, namely Sophie, has come forward claiming that he impregnated her, however he will have to put that aside this week on Climax Control.

For starters the show was a benefit show for the American Humane Society so the Superstars and Bombshells had to bring their pets in if they had any, Steve’s family owned a Golden Labrador called Dio, named after the legendary metal vocalist Ronnie James Dio, so that was covered but Steve was also in action against a man who made his surprise return at Into the Void V by attacking Rage following the Internet Championship match Kain, it was a battle of the veterans but right now Steve was desperate for a win but can he pull it off

The Jeremy Kyle Show (US Version)
Thursday the 16th of June 2016, 11:00am

I know what you’re thinking, who the fuck is Jeremy Kyle, why does he have a show and why am I on it? And whilst I’m still clueless as to the answers behind the first two questions I can at least answer the third question and yes, it has everything to do with my divorce.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock since Blaze of Glory you know that SCW has just completed a tour of Japan and has returned to its home city for the latest edition of Climax Control where I’m set to face the returning Kain in singles competition and I’ll get to Kain later but until now here’s what you need to know about my current situation, long story short Charlotte found out about my mistress whilst I was in Japan after she sent her a friend request on Facebook not long after she was bragging about banging a married man, Charlotte asked her over and over if it was me and whilst she was defiant at first she admitted it.

Needless to say, my mistress makes every member of the Mean Girls not named Mercedes Vargas look like Albert Einstein!

To be fair I did some research during the week off to prepare for my appearance on his show, mostly through watching clips on YouTube and looking up the guy on Wikipedia and yes, I know, Wikipedia’s about as reliable as half the guys who sign up for SCW but still! Anyway here’s what I was able to find out, he’s a posh, arrogant British asshole who hates wife-beaters, cheats, drug addicts, benefit cheats and Facebook, yeah, I know the last one doesn’t really fit in with the rest but that’s beside the point!

How this guy managed to get a transatlantic equivalent of his British show here in the states is beyond me.

Anyway me, Charlotte, my mistress, Sophie (not my daughter, the woman claiming that she got me pregnant) Cyrus and Andreas are on first with me going out first, I haven’t really paid attention to the other guests but from what I’ve seen we’re easily the oldest guests here, some look like they’re on some kind of drug but I wouldn’t be able to tell you what drug, not that I care too anyway.

“Good morning and as ever a big, big welcome to my show!” Jeremy greeted the audience as he walked on stage with some cards in his hands as the audience applauded him, Cyrus and Andreas were in the audience as well and they probably towered over everyone else in the show. “Now our first guest tonight, Steve, is here to prove to his wife of seven years that he hasn’t cheated on her or impregnated another woman, he is adamant that nothing happened between him and the women in question and wife wants answers, big day for this guy! Steve is on the Jeremy Kyle Show!”

As soon as Jeremy finished his intro I marched on stage with a forced smile as the crowd applauded me, as I approached Jeremy he stuck one of his hands out for a handshake which I accepted. “Hi Jeremy.”

“Hello.” Jeremy responded before we sat down. “You look like an old rocker, don’t you?” He joked upon noticing my hair, Megadeth T-Shirt and jeans and I just smirked. “Right, let’s get down to the basics, how did you meet Charlotte?”

“Well it wasn’t through Facebook, I’ll tell you that much.” I commented with a smirk getting a laugh out of the audience and Jeremy. “Seriously though, I guess you could say that we met through work, the wrestling company that I worked for at the time was hosting a show in my home city of New York and we met through a mutual friend, we hit it off, she joined me on the road……”

“Wait, wrestling company?!” Jeremy asked with a bemused look on his face. “Are you a professional wrestler?”

“Yeah, I’ve been wrestling since I was nineteen.” I responded with a nod and Jeremy did a double take. “That company’s since folded and shortly afterwards Charlotte announced that she was pregnant with our first daughter so I took a hiatus from wrestling for a few years making the occasional comeback before I was signed to my current employers.”

“Well, at least you work.” Jeremy muttered under his breath which I ignored. “When did the problems start because you told my producers that you were happy for a few years.”

“And it was, I mean things were tough because I had trouble getting steady work and my initial plan to open a wrestling school fell through but until last year things were great!” I responded as I shifted my weight a bit. “The company I work for did a yearlong world tour just last year and during that tour I started taking matters into my own hands.”

“What do you mean?” Jeremy asked and I grinned.

“What I mean is that I’m twenty-eight years old, I know for regular people that is no big deal but wrestling takes a toll on your body and most wrestlers around my age usually plan for retirement at the age of thirty-five minimum.” I responded as I leaned back. “And whilst I have held a few titles during my time as a wrestler I’m not getting any younger and I have yet to hold a world title in any promotion, my time’s running out and I needed to do something drastic, unfortunately Charlotte took exception to that fact and things were tense for a few months until the New Year hit.”

“She told my time that you called a fellow wrestler a midget just because you were taller than him.” Jeremy responded getting a laugh out of the crowd. “Just for reference, how tall are you.”

“6ft, the guy I called a midget is five foot eight which is tiny by male wrestler standards but he’s barely taller than Charlotte.” I responded with a shrug. “Look, long story short, she implied that she wanted a divorce, things were pretty much made official when she walked in on me in bed with two younger women.” I responded before earning a round of boos. “I know how that sounds so just to set the record straight, I was dressed as David Bowie from Labyrinth and they were naked.”

“I don’t know if I want to know why you were dressed up like David Bowie.” Jeremy responded as he buried his face into his hands.

“It was the week he died and I wanted to pay tribute to him at a Karaoke club, costume and all.” I responded getting some more laughs out of the crowd. “Unfortunately my costume was the only thing they appreciated.”

“Gee, I wonder why.” Jeremy said as he tried to hold back laughter. “Let’s try to get some form of normalcy on this show, Charlotte’s your wife, right?” Jeremy asked and I nodded to confirm what he was asking. “Charlotte’s on the Jeremy Kyle show!” Jeremy called out as he got out of the chair he was sitting on and Charlotte walked on stage with a frown on her face before picking up the chair Jeremy was occupying, walking across the stage, setting it down and sitting on it. “Charlotte, welcome to the show, now you’ve been with Steve since he was twenty-one, right?”

“Yeah, and like he said things where great.” Charlotte responded as she folded her arms. “But he conveniently left out the reason why I took exception to his actions last year, you see Jeremy there’s this female wrestler on the roster by the name of Jes…...”

“Don’t say names of people who aren’t here.” Jeremy interrupted her and Charlotte stopped herself.

“Sorry about that, anyone who watches the company he works for will know who I’m talking about anyway.” Charlotte responded before shifting her weight. “As I was saying, he Superkicked a female wrestler’s fiancé, at the time, who, I might add, isn’t a trained wrestler.” Charlotte explained earning more boos for me.

“Funny how you leave off that that action got Steve suspended for the first few months of the world tour!” Cyrus chimed in from the audience and Jeremy turned to him in order to address him but did a double take when he saw how big he and Andreas were. “He basically had to be smuggled into the arena to get the suspension lifted!”

“Who are the tall blokes?” Jeremy asked as he turned to me.

“The dark haired one is Cyrus, the one with the epic beard is Andreas.” I said as I pointed them out to him. “They are my bodyguards.”

“Okay then, would you two like to come on stage so that the people behind you can see what’s happening?” Jeremy offered and they shrugged before joining us on stage and some stage hands got them some chairs. “Right, so, what’s your take on this Cyrus?”

“My take? Things were great for the first few months of the tour but when that Superkick happened Charlotte chewed him out before returning to their home in Vegas where she stayed for the rest of the tour.” Cyrus responded after he and Andreas sat down. “All I’m saying is that absence makes the heart grow fonder, I’m not excusing Steve’s actions but Charlotte’s not exactly innocent here, she didn’t even listen to his side of the story.”

“When did I not listen to his side of the story?” Charlotte asked as she leaned forward. “I was supportive of him but even I have my limits!”

“I’m not saying you don’t but Steve’s frustration with his place in the company means that it was only a matter of time before he snapped, Charlotte didn’t realize this because she’s an outsider to the wrestling business.” Cyrus responded and Charlotte rolled her eyes. “But that’s beside the point, even if Steve didn’t snap long distance relationships don’t work and, I know I’m not helping Steve’s case, but the women in the wrestling company he works for are all hot babes and younger than Charlotte, quite frankly I’m surprised Steve hasn’t cheated on her until know.”

“Gee, thanks for all the help Cyrus.” I responded through gritted teeth. “Even with that in mind, a majority of the women on the roster are already taken! Hell there’s at least one lesbian couple on the roster that I know off and I’m pretty sure that they aren’t bi so even if they were single I’d have a better chance at you not annoying me!” I responded as I motioned to Jeremy.

“Right, I’ll just pretend I didn’t hear that!” Jeremy responded as he shook his head. “Back on topic, who’s Sophie?”

“That depends because that’s my daughter’s name.” I responded and Jeremy sighed in annoyance.

“Last I checked there’s no one who’s six years’ old backstage.” Jeremy responded and I nodded in response.

“Sophie’s one of the women I spent a night with back in January.” I responded and Charlotte frowned. “And despite everything I tell her Charlotte still isn’t convinced that nothing happened between us!”

“Okay, Sophie is on the Jeremy Kyle show!” Jeremy called and the pregnant woman came out, Charlotte quickly got in her face and security stepped in to prevent a fight breaking out. “Sophie, welcome to the show, now you claim that Steve got you pregnant.”

“How could I have gotten her pregnant when I prematurely ejaculated before Sophie and the other girl could get my clothes off?!” I asked before quickly covering my mouth upon realizing what I had just said. “Any chance you could edit that part out?”

“It’s live Steve so no.” Jeremy responded before turning to Sophie. “Is there a point to you being out here now that that’s out of the bag?”

“Err, not really……” Sophie responded sheepishly before leaving the set, Jeremy sighed to himself before being handed a card.

“Let’s get the lie detector results done before this drags on any more.” Jeremy said before reading the card. “Note from the lie detector expert, Steve admitted to sleeping with at least three different women when the relationship began.”

“I know about those.” Charlotte responded with a nod. “We had an open relationship when we began dating but we stopped that after I got pregnant.” Charlotte added and I nodded to confirm it.

“Okay so they changed the question, Steve since the beginning of the relationship with Charlotte, aside from the three times you’ve admitted too, have you had any sexual contact with anyone else, which is anything from a kiss to intercourse, you said no.” Jeremy said as he turned to me. “Why did you say no?”

“Because I was telling the truth.” I said confidently as Jeremy stepped forward.

“This test says you’re a liar.” Jeremy responded and Charlotte glared at me. “In fact, I’ll save you some time, he failed every question on the test!”

“It’s over Steve, you had better start house hunting soon!” Charlotte said before standing up and storming off towards the backstage area, I stood up and followed her backstage with Jeremy, Cyrus and Andreas following us. “How could you do that to me Steve? We have two kids!”

“What can I say? Actually being around beautiful women for most of the day raised my standards!” I snapped at her and Charlotte stormed off. “I don’t need you! Any woman would want me!”

“You’re nearly thirty and you believe that?” Jeremy asked and I nodded without hesitation. “Here’s a reality check Steve, when this gets out no one will touch you with a barge pole!”

“Yeah because I trust the opinion of an annoying twat like you!” I snapped at him before storming off ignoring the other staff members and heading towards my car with Cyrus and Andreas behind me. “I suppose I’d better wait for the divorce papers now, I knew this was a mistake.”

“It can’t get any worse Steve, let’s head back.” Cyrus responded as we got into the car. “Well, if nothing else you can take out your frustrations in this promo.”

“You know what? I will!” I responded as the cameraman from SCW hopped in and Cyrus started driving us home, it was going to take a few hours but we had plenty of fuel in the car so I got started on my promo!

“Encase you haven’t noticed, I haven’t had a great couple of weeks, I failed to take back my title, Casey Williams is currently fighting in a spot I should be fighting in as he is challenging for the SCW Roulette Title and my wife just divorced me on TV! But what am I doing this week on Climax Control? I’m taking on the returning “King of Kings” Kain in singles action but that doesn’t matter, what matters is the fact that I’m going to kick the king’s ass right off the throne and move on to better competition!”

There, I said it.

“Funny how you chose now to return to action Kain after missing out on nearly the entire World Tour and Japanese tours but that’s beside the point, you obviously haven’t wrestled in a long time whilst I have been stealing the show every single night win or lose! This match will be no different to all of my other recent matches with one notable exception, I’m walking out the winner of this match and I will end my recent losing streak!”

I said as shifted my weight.

“Don’t know if you’ve noticed this Kain but a lot has changed since you took your little vacation but the most important change is that there’s nothing I won’t do on the way to the top of the mountain! It’s like the AC/DC song says, it’s a long way to the top if you want championship gold and I’ve already held gold this year, however whilst my Roulette Title reign was far too short I aim to rectify that by moving up in the ranks and my sights are firmly set on the Internet Champion!”

You heard me!

“That’s right, I want a shot at Rage and you’re the only one in my path to that gold! You may have attacked Rage at the end of his title match at Into the Void but as long as I have my sights set on the Internet Championship that’ll be the closest you’ll ever get to holding the SCW Internet Championship because that gold practically has my name written all over it! Just face the facts Kain, the wrestling world has passed you by! It’s time to retire Kain, whether you like it or not!”

And with that I decided to wrap things up.

“And hell, even if you don’t want to retire I could always force you to change your plans! Right now I’m a man on a mission and that mission is championship gold following the title reign that I was robbed off during the Japanese tour, you may not like what I’m saying Kain but I’m just speaking the truth and that’s that! This message has been paid for and delivered by the “Fearless Champ” Steve Ramone, the champion the fans deserve and I will make SCW great again!”

The car drove off as the scene fades.

 Last week Steve’s quest to win back the SCW Roulette Title from James Tuscini began, first he introduced his own custom championship known as The Fearless Championship which is literally a title with a picture of Steve on it then he tried to steal the Roulette Title from James following an interview which resulted in James’ uncle Pinkie being taken to the hospital and to top it all off he stormed right into Mark’s office and demanded a rematch with James and whilst a rematch at Into The Void V was promised by Mark it wouldn’t exactly be the first time Mark screwed over Steve in some way.

On top of all that this week, in what could only be retaliation for everything Steve did at Climax Control, Steve and James where teaming up to take on the monstrous duo of Lord Raab and Samuel McPherson in tag team action in a match that would serve as the semi-main event for the evening! Steve was livid when he heard that he would be teaming up with a hated rival for the second time this year but with the status of his rematch up in the air (not to mention Matt Spears’s shot at the Roulette Title as he was taking on Ryan Keys in a Roulette Rules match earlier that evening with the winner earning the shot at the Roulette Title) he had a lot on his mind going into this match but can he and James (somehow) win?

Backstage at Climax Control, Okayama, Japan
Sunday the 8th of May 2016, 11:00pm

Well, tonight was eventful to say the least!

First I introduced the best looking title in the history of the sport to open up the show and then tried to steal back what’s rightfully mine from James Tuscini and then I demanded my rematch which Mark agreed to. In a sense, all he said was that me and James would be in the same ring again for the third time (not counting match interference or the time I was the special guest ref) in James’s SCW Career, but you know what? That’s good enough for me!

Don’t get me wrong, I’ve been around the guy long enough to know that he has something else up his sleeves as the title match between Melody Grace and Jessie Salco just proved but I digress.

At the moment I’m backstage at Climax Control waiting for the Main Event between J2H and Connor Murphy to start, ever since the theft attempt I’ve been restricted to my locker room until the end of the show but because Mark, and I quote, has a match for me next week and wants me to do my promo for it whilst I’m backstage a cameraman has been allowed in, he’s also posted several security guards outside with instructions to only let me out if I need to piss and the same goes for my bodyguards.

Gee, it’s like I attacked a fake champion or something!

“Man, what happened to Melody is just wrong on so many levels.” Cyrus commented as he shook his head and watched the action unfold on screen including Despayre kicking Mark Ward in the shins for the incident with Melody. “And if I was Despayre I would’ve aimed a little higher.”

“If you’re trying to say that you would’ve kicked Mark in the balls for what he did to Melody, just say it.” I responded as I rolled my eyes, on screen a brawl between Amy Marshall and Natalie McKinley aired in a continuation of an earlier brawl that also featured Jessie and Melody before it transitioned to the main event. “Thank god, one last match and I can get the fuck out of here!”

“You think there’s any truth to Jessie’s steroid accusations towards Natalie?” Andreas wondered as he turned to Cyrus who shook his head.

“Andreas, ever since I graduated from college I’ve lived by one simple rule, if a woman is ripped, don’t piss her off.” Cyrus responded as there was a knock at the door and one of the security guards opened the door for a stage hand. “Otherwise you might end up with your head shoved firmly up your ass.”

“I don’t do Yoga.” Andreas responded and Cyrus shook his head.

“That wouldn’t matter.” Cyrus responded before noticing the stage hand who had a card in his hand. “Hey, that wouldn’t happen to be next week’s card, would it?”

“Err, yeah, it is.” The stage hand responded and before either man could say another word I stood straight up from my chair nearly causing it to fall over in the process, marched over to him and snatched it from his hands. “Hey, I need that for the other wrestlers!”

“I’ll give it back after I’ve read it.” I responded before going over the card, at first I frowned when I saw the Ryan Keys/Matt Spears match but that was quickly shoved aside when I saw the semi-main event. “IS THIS SOME KIND OF SICK FUCKING JOKE?!”

“I……I……I’m just the messenger, please don’t shoot me!” The stage hand, who was a good few inches shorter than me and almost as skinny as the average bombshell, stammered before gulping nervously. “C……c……. can I have the card back?”

“TAKE IT!” I responded before shoving it into his hand, opening the locker room door and sending the punk flying out of the room with a kick up the backside for good measure. “Hey, rent-a-cops, I’m not in the mood for company right now so don’t bother me until the Main Event’s over and don’t let any visitors in!”

“But we’re under orders from Mark Ward……” The security guard trailed off before I shook my head.

“Mark Ward can go have rough sex with a crocodile for all I care!” I responded before slamming the door shut. “FUCK!”

“Okay, you just physically assaulted a stage hand and told Mark to have rough sex with an apex predator, can’t believe I just said that sentence out loud.” Cyrus commented with a sigh as he pinched his nose in annoyance. “I take it you don’t like the match Mark booked for you?”

“This week I’m in tag team action and my tag team partner might be the worst one I’ve had since Alexis Edwards.” I responded as I sat back down, I tried to watch the main event but I was too distracted by how pissed off I was that I turned off the TV halfway through. “Fuck it! I’ll catch the replay during the week! I’ll be blunt here, Mark booked me and James in a match together, as tag team partners!”

“You’re kidding?!” Cyrus asked with a half amused, half shocked look on his face. “Well, it could be worse.”

“Our opponents are Lord Raab and Samuel McPherson of the Monstermimals, the only way it could get worse is if Alexis Edwards was the Special Guest Referee for the match!” I responded and my bodyguards winced in response as it dawned on them. “On one hand it would be fun to abandon James to get mauled by those two monsters, on the other hand I need a win after I was robbed of an easy title defense last week!”

“Yeah if this no-win situation isn’t retaliation for, well, everything you’ve done tonight I’ll eat the Fearless Championship with a side of fries.” Cyrus responded and I shot him a dirty look for even suggesting that. “I wasn’t serious Steve!”

“Good, now keep it that way! I’ve got trash talk to do so I’m…….” I stopped myself from saying “heading outside once I remembered about the security guards and quickly turned on the TV. “Fuck! The Main Event is still going! Fine, you guys watch the Main Event and let me know when it’s finished! I’ve got a promo to do and I’m going to use it as background noise!”

“Fine, we’ll let you know who wins.” Cyrus responded and I nodded before getting started on my promo.

“I swear to god the maniacs are running the asylum in this place because that’s the only explanation I’ve got for all the shit that’s happened over the past two weeks! First I lose the title to James thanks to an incompetent referee who didn’t do what he was supposed to and call it a draw once he saw that both me and James where knocked out! And just tonight Mark responded to my invoking of my rematch clause, you know, the thing in my contract, with vague wording before restricting me to this room for the rest of the show and then I get this lovely piece of news and if you don’t pick up on the sarcasm there then congrats! You’re as smart as Jacob Summers!”

Don’t celebrate, that’s like having a Dragonball Z power level equivalent to Yamcha!

“What news is that? I’m glad you asked! Not only am I teaming with the thief known as James Tuscini in the penultimate match of the next card BUT I’m taking on The Monstermimals also known as Lord “I hate women” Raab and Samuel “I’m only here for tag team matches” McPherson, that’s right, I’m teaming with someone I hate to take on two monsters! And you know what James? It’s VERY tempting to just abandon you in the middle of the match, grab a bag of popcorn from the stands and watch you get mauled in the middle of the ring but I won’t!”

Trust me, if I didn’t need this win James would be screwed.

“Oh believe me James, if it was up to me you’d be more thoroughly screwed than a hooker after a gangbang featuring twenty guys, in other words the average weekend for Alexis Edwards, but I need to get back on the winning track and to do that I need to win this match! Hell if it wasn’t suicide I’d Fearless Shot you right at the beginning of the match and take on Raab and McPherson on my own but last I checked this show was called Climax Control and not 1000 Ways to Die so let’s get started with the trash talk!”

First up is Raab.

“Lord, we have something in common in that we’re both former Roulette Champions but more importantly that’s another reason why I can just leave James to the lions known as Raab and McPherson because whoever gets the pin might get a shot before me! Anyway Raab I don’t know how your still employed after you nearly attacked Sam Marlowe following your defeat in the first round of the Blast from the Past Tournament a couple of months ago and yet here you are! In the meantime, I get suspended for attacking a punk who had no business being in the ring in the first place but that’s a rant for another day!”

I said before shaking my head.

“Regardless there’s only one way this match will end and that’s with me winning! It doesn’t matter if I win by Fearless Shot, bodyguard interference, James somehow winning for the team, you being hit with either the Fearless or Roulette Championships because one way or another we will be the David to your Goliath and whatever bullshit scheme Mark has in store for this match goes right out the window!”

I noticed that the Main Event seemed to be nearing its conclusion so I continued.

“Raab, you may be a monster but I’ve doubt with bigger, scarier monsters throughout my wrestling career and you are no different! You may specialize in dealing lots of pain to your opponents Raab but I specialize in knocking monsters like you and McPherson down to size and in the end the only purpose that mask of yours will serve will be a cushion for your face as I kick it as hard as I can!”

“Pretty sure masks don’t work that way.” Cyrus chimed in and I shook my head in response.

“Doesn’t matter!” I responded before moving onto Raab’s partner.

“You know, I was almost tempted to just ignore Samuel McPherson because he’s by far the least interesting guy to ever wrestle in SCW and, well, just look at the competition for that title, pretty sure that list circles Japan twice, there’s also the fact that he was hired just for tag team matches, let me reiterate that, he was hired to compete in a scene where at least a quarter of the past champions where thrown together teams! I can’t make that up!”

Trust me, I wish I could!

“Other than that, I don’t have much to say about Sam, all I see him as is Lord Raab’s big, scary sidekick and that’s never a good sign, especially when the sidekick is two inches taller and thirty pounds heavier than the guy he’s the sidekick to! But that’s beside the point because it’s not like size matters, at least that’s what any woman who sleeps with Mark Ward has to tell him each and every time, what matters is speed and skill and I have that in spades!”

I said with a grin!

“Obviously I can’t speak for my partner because he’s a talentless hack who only holds MY TITLE because he happened to land on top of me but I should be more than enough to carry this team on my shoulders to victory! Long story short Sam, this match won’t end well for you or Lord Raab and it doesn’t matter if Raab has to bail out his sidekick or not because I’m winning either way.”

I heard Justin announce that J2H had retained and let out a sigh of relief before continuing.

“Oh trust me, I’ll deal with Tuscini myself when I get my rematch for the Roulette Title but in the meantime I get to prove why I was the best Roulette Champion of all time by beating the guy who was one of the most dominant champions in recent history, the website known as TV Tropes has a Trope for this called The Worf Effect named after the character from Star Trek, the series with Patrick Stewart in it, where a previously established tough guy character gets their ass kicked by someone new on the scene and that’s what’ll happen to you Raab!”

The show ended and the doors opened with the security guard telling us we could go, before I did I decided to wrap things up.

“I don’t know what Mark’s game is with this match but for my money it can’t be good for me but in the end I’ll just Fearless Shot my way to victory and move on to reclaim what’s rightfully mine! And to reiterate what I said earlier……” I said as I hoisted the Fearless Championship over my shoulder. “We all know this would’ve happened sooner or later, I just sped up the process by paying for it myself.” I said as I pointed to the Fearless Championship with my free hand. “As for this match, it’ll end one way and that’s with the unlikely pairing of me and James Tuscini on top! This message has been paid for and delivered by “The Fearless Champion” Steve Ramone, the champion the fans deserve as I will make SCW great again!”

I left the locker room as the scene fades.

 The unthinkable happened two weeks ago as Steve and Alexis where not only able to cooperate but they managed to beat Ben Jordan and Raynin and move on to the second round of the tournament and whilst it is true that Steve helped Alexis pinned Raynin at the end of the day the unlikely pairing was on to the second round.

That was a few weeks ago and, aside from a scary situation for Sam Marlowe after she scored the win for her team in the Blast from the Past Tournament Match against Lord Raab and Gothika in which Raab tried to attack her, nothing much has happened, Joshua Acquin stepped forward trying to get a title shot against Steve at Blaze of Glory and the newcomer James Tuscini had called out Steve (alongside Casey) looking for a match and whilst he has addressed that by basically saying no, you have to earn your shot Steve had bigger issues on his mind heading into this week’s Climax Control.

Once again the team of Steve Ramone and Alexis Edwards were Main Eventing the show and to say that this Blast from the Past Match was a big one is an understatement, Alexis’s opponent? Melanie Gabrielle of the Angel Clan, Steve’s opponent? Connor Murphy of the Nobodies, that’s right, the Nobodies where about to implode and with Tim Staggs already knocked out of the tournament, and by his own father no less, this could only spell disaster for The Nobodies regardless of the outcome but the question remained, can Alexis and Steve win again or was the first time a fluke due to Steve assisting in Alexis’s pin?

I may have had the week off this week but that doesn’t mean that I can’t find something to do, even if it’s at the expense of potential rivals for my belt!

For those of you wondering, yeah, I knew exactly what I was doing when I came out in the middle of Josh’s match against Matt Spears, I could’ve run down to the ring and Superkicked him into the middle of next week but I didn’t, why? Because I figured that a clean loss to a nobody like Matt Spears would be more humiliating for him and lo and behold, Josh got distracted, let go of the Sharpshooter and it cost him the match.

Okay so it wasn’t completely clean but it’s not like I put my hands on Josh or anything!

As for this James Tuscini guy, give me a break, he’s been in this company for what? Two weeks and he’s already asking for a shot at me? My Labrador Puppy has a better claim to a shot at me than any of these losers and that’s because I haven’t been around to take him out on walks! Hell it’s usually either Sally, Charlotte or Sophie (with supervision from either Sally or Charlotte off course) that take him out on walks when I’m not around.

But I’m getting off topic, at the moment me and Cyrus are watching this week’s Main Event for the Bombshell Internet Championship between Mercedes Vargas and Melanie Gabrielle on the monitor whilst Andreas is trying to find out what the card for next week’s Climax Control will entail and, more importantly, who Team PMS and Steve will face next week.

I still can’t believe that that team name was Charlotte’s idea!

“Well, it looks like Mercedes is retaining!” Cyrus commented as we watched the action unfold on the monitor and sure enough Melanie fell victim to the Black Rose Overdrive and since there was no one around to put her feet on the ropes it was pretty much inevitable at this point. “And Mercedes retains! You owe me ten bucks!”

“Just don’t forget to collect your winnings from Andreas.” I commented as I handed over the ten-dollar note which Cyrus happily pocketed. “I thought for sure that we’d see a new champion after what happened in their Blast from the Past Match.”

“Let’s face it Steve, if Connor hasn’t been there to put Melanie’s feet on the ropes Mercedes and Derek would’ve advanced instead, just saying.” Cyrus responded before the door opened and Andreas entered the room with an amused look on his hairy face. “Andreas, you owe me ten bucks!”

“Melanie lost?!” Andreas asked and we nodded in response, he shook his head in annoyance before paying the bet. “Then I guess I came at the right time, Mark just gave me the card for next week’s Climax Control and he was laughing like a maniac, I quickly discovered why.”

“What do you mean?” I asked as Andreas handed me the card which had been printed out, I quickly read through the card but once I saw the main event I started laughing. “Holy shit, is he serious?!”

“As serious as a heart attack.” Andreas responded and I laughed some more, Cyrus leaned over to get a look at the card and as soon as he saw what had amused us he grinned.

“Team PMS and Steve are teaming up to take on Connor Murphy and Melanie Gabrielle in next week’s Main Event? And it’s in Alexis’ home state as well, are we about to see an implosion of The Nobodies?” Cyrus asked as he gave the card back to Andreas and my grin grew wider as I thought of the possibilities heading into this match.

“You know I’m almost tempted to go track down and talk to Alexis about it but even if she was here I’d still rather be a hundred feet away from her when we’re not in a match together.” I commented and my bodyguards nodded in response. “Anyway what time are the arena staff expecting us to clear out?”

“By midnight at the earliest really.” Andreas responded before checking his watch. “And it’s half eleven now so I say that we’d better get going.”

“Agreed.” I nodded in response once I checked the time on my IPhone before we stood up and made our way to the parking lot. “Come to think of it, isn’t your farmland in Arizona?”

“Yeah, I’m hoping to pay it a visit before this mini-tour ends so that I can see how it’s doing.” Andreas responded with a nod. “From what I’ve heard it’s doing well but it still pays to see it with my own eyes.”

“True enough.” I responded as we entered the parking lot and we approached our car, I opened the car with my keys and the bodyguards hopped in the back whilst I got in the front alongside the cameraman as I intended to do my promo in the car.

“Err, Steve are you sure about doing the promo whilst driving?” Cyrus asked and I turned to him. “I’m just saying, I don’t want to be the one to explain to the bosses how one of their cameramen are in the hospital, or worse dead, because you got in a car crash.”

“You know what? You’ve got a point, you guys get in the front and we’ll get in the back.” I responded before pausing. “I really should’ve worded that better.” I added getting a laugh out of the bodyguards and the cameraman.

“Could be worse, you could’ve said it to Charlotte, Sally or any of the Bombshells!” Andreas responded and I shook my head in response before we swapped places with Cyrus taking the front seat, Andreas taking shotgun and me and the cameraman got in the backseats so that we could do the promo without the possibility of a crash, speaking of which…….

“You know, sometimes the stars align, prophecies come true and other cliché fantasy bullshit happen and it means that certain things happen to certain people, I mean just look at me!” I said as I showed the SCW Roulette Title. “And this week it happened again! There she was, Alexis Edwards complaining to anyone who would listen about being teamed with me for the Blast from the Past Tournament and how she wanted to team with someone like Connor or Tim instead but NOPE! Instead not only is she teaming with me but we are taking on Connor’s team next week at Climax Control in the Main Event and it’s the last Quarter Final match in the Blast from the Past Tournament!”

This is priceless.

“You saw my reaction earlier and all I can say is this, holy shit! This is priceless! I would love to be the fly on the wall for when Alexis finds out just who we are taking on next week because I’m pretty sure that the resulting swear jar would solve the debt crises for America and several third world countries and still have enough money in it to buy tickets to every stop on the Iron Maiden Book of Souls World Tour including air travel and accommodation! But enough about that, let’s start on the trash talk!”

And I’m starting with Connor!

“Connor, you may have cheated your way into the second round but are you really willing to try that against your own stablemate? Alexis is angry enough as it is but do you really want to get on her bad side? Oh who am I kidding? The only person not on her bad side is Tim Staggs and even that’s debatable! But that’s beside the point, I’ll kick your emo haircut so hard that it’ll turn into a fashionable haircut before you know it.”

“Do I even need to point out the irony of the guy with the mullet giving fashion tips?” Cyrus chimed in and I rolled my eyes in response.

“Shut up!” I responded and Cyrus laughed in response, I nearly lost my place but quickly got back on track. “As I was saying Connor, there’s only two ways this can end, I defeat you and I defeat you in a humiliating fashion, the card may have played you up as a top contender to my belt and if you somehow beat me in this match I’ll consider it but until then I’m going to tell you what I told Josh and what I’m going to tell James, I don’t do charity cases!”

Next up is Melanie!

“As for Melanie, well she just lost her shot at the Bombshell Internet Championship so she’ll obviously want to bounce back from her loss but honestly, I may hate Alexis but she does have talent in the ring, as much as I hate to admit it, and she won’t let you beat her that easily, as for whether or not I’ll provide my assistance again, well considering that Christian apparently threw a hissy fit when I did it last time I think I might be a bit more discreet.”

And that’s if I decide to help out.

“The rest of you may follow the rules to your heart’s content but me? I’m in it to win it by any means necessary! And no, I’m not dumb enough to send the angel’s head flying with a Superkick, do I look like I want to commit career suicide? What I will do, if I decide to assist, will be a lot more discreet like I said but in the meantime all I will say is that Team PMS and Steve are going on to the Semi-Finals!”

And with that I decided to wrap things up.

“The Nobodies implode! Honestly I can’t think of a better way to describe this match, one team contains a female nobody and the other contains a male nobody both doing a lot better in this tournament than their stable name would imply! But in the end there will only be one winning team and it will be Team PMS and Steve! This message has been paid for and delivered by “The Fearless Champion” Steve Ramone, the Roulette Champ the fans deserve!”

We dropped the cameraman off when he pointed out his house as the scene fades.
