Jessie wasn’t in action last week due to representing SCW at the Super J Cup being hosted by ACW, however she will get her chance at the SCW Bombshell Roulette Champion Alexis Morrison at Blaze of Glory but that’s not all as the Bombshell who pinned Alexis on the last addition of Climax Control has been added to the match, the Bombshell known only as Faith, can Jessie win her first single’s title?

Jessie’s hotel room, where ACW’s hosting the Super J Cup
February 18th, 2013, 3:00pm

“So you had no idea that Mark and Christian would add Faith to the match?” I asked Jake over Skype, it was the week of the Super J Cup Tournament and I obviously couldn’t be in Las Vegas for Blaze of Glory, my hotel room was fairly big, big enough for two sisters at least, and to ACW’s credit they had set the foreign competitors up in a nice hotel, I had just received word of the match being changed via Jake and the message that sent to my phone whenever the new card’s put up.

“Yeah, I didn’t expect to be made a Special Guest Ref either.” Jake shrugged his shoulders in response. “Oh and Jess, do me a favor and remind me to never to date one of your co-workers, even if you hook me up with one of the hottest Bombshells on the roster.”

“Yeah, that kick to your nutsack did look painful.” I admitted with a wince and Jake grimaced. “You need any therapy sessions?”

“Cute, besides believe it or not, I’ve met women scarier than any SCW Bombshell whilst I was serving in the army.” Jake admitted earning a curious look from me. “Yes, that includes Necra Octavian Kaine.”

“Yeah, remind me never to join the army.” I said with a shudder. “You’ve been in the ring with her and I haven’t anything you can tell me about Faith?”

“Well obviously I’m not the biggest expert in the world when it comes to this stuff.” Jake shrugged his shoulders before thinking for a moment. “But from what I saw, she’s a brawler who’s not afraid to get dirty and really struggles with the high flying stuff.”

“Not afraid to get dirty huh?” I asked with a cheeky grin and Jake blushed when he realized what he had just said.

“That’s not what I meant and you know it!” Jake responded and I tried my best not to laugh my ass off at the look on his face. “Speaking of the army, after Climax Control I bumped into one of my old buddies from the army.”

“Oh, really? Who was it?” I asked and Jake grinned.

“Remember the guy I told you about? You know the one who had to drop out of boot camp due to an injury?” Jake asked and I nodded. “Yeah he was in attendance for Climax Control and I bumped into him as I was leaving. We had a good chat, you know catching up and stuff, he called me the luckiest bastard in Nevada for getting to ref a Bombshell Match.”

“Up until you got kicked in the balls.” I pointed out and Jake winced.

“Thanks for the reminder.” Jake grunted before shaking his head. “Anyway I mentioned that you’re looking for love and I think your search might be over.”

“You’re hooking me up with one of your old army buddies?” I asked and Jake shook his head.

“Nah, besides he’s married and has a kid, he thinks you and the other Bombshells are hot, don’t get me wrong but he isn’t about to cheat on his wife.” Jake told me and I nodded in understanding. “But he has a younger brother around your age who’s into Heavy Metal, wrestling and is looking for love as well, he figured that he could set up a blind date between you two once you get back from Canada.”

“Sounds good, it’ll be something to take my mind off of my problems in wrestling anyway.” I shrugged my shoulders and Jake grinned at that. “Did you book the Bloodstock Tickets by the way?”

“Yep, they just arrived as well.” Jake said as he held up the tickets. “Just gotta get Christian to give you some time off for the festival but that shouldn’t be too hard.”

“Yeah, and with any luck he’ll schedule the August Supercard for the week after Bloodstock.” I responded with a grin. “Let me know if Faith and Alexis have taped any promos, the hotel doesn’t have the channel that SCW is on unfortunately.”

“Yeah, Kate mentioned that when we talked on the phone yesterday after my first match, said you were disappointed as you wanted to see what Amanda had to say.” Jake nodded in response. “If they do I’ll have them recorded for when you get here.”

“Thanks.” I responded with a grin. “So what’s the plan now?”

“Me? I’m going down for breakfast, I don’t know what time it is up in Canada but it’s coming up to the later morning/early afternoon over here.” Jake responded and I checked the time on my computer clock which had been adjusted for the Canadian Time Zone.

“It’s coming up to Half Three over here so that sounds about right.” I responded and Jake grinned. “Try to call me again before I go to the Super J Cup okay?”

“Will do, just mention on Facebook when you’re leaving and I’ll contact you.” Jake responded and I nodded. “You’re coming back Friday right?”

“Yeah, Katie wants to see the sites.” I said with a grin. “I’m guessing you’ll be meeting us at the airport?”

“You got it.” Jake responded and I grinned. “By the way, they did air the promo tape you sent but there’s speculation that you’re trying to take the blame for that prank on Misty.”

“Seriously?” I asked and Jake nodded. “Oh for fuck’s sake, I only said that encase Misty decided to blame me once she figures out that Odette couldn’t have done it!”

“Hey I’m just the messenger.” Jake responded before shaking his head. “Don’t worry about that anyway, no-one important believes that otherwise you’d be speaking with Christian again, well I’m off to catch breakfast, by.”

“By.” I responded as Jake disconnected, I removed my headphones just as the door opened and Kate entered the room with bags of shopping in hand. “Need a hand Kate?”

“I’m fine thanks.” Kate responded as she started packing away the stuff. “Is that Skype? Who were chatting with?”

“Jake, he updated me on what happened at Climax Control and sent me the card for Blaze of Glory via an e-mail.” I responded as I opened up the e-mail. “Just as I thought, Faith’s been added to my match against Alexis.”

“Wait, really? Why was she added? I know she was taking on Alexis and Amy in that warm-up match.” Katie responded before it hit her. “She pinned Alexis?”

“And Amy.” I corrected her as I looked over the card. “Apparently the bosses thought that was good enough for Faith to be added to the match. Oh and Jake ended up reffing the match in question.”

“Yeah, but what do you think?” Katie asked as she finished packing away the stuff and sat down next to me. “You won’t even need to be pinned in order to lose your chance at the title.”

“And that’s if Amanda doesn’t make her presence felt.” I responded with a grunt. “As for the match, I appreciate the extra competition and if I can win this match and my first singles title then it’ll be all the better.” I added before smirking a bit. “At least I have a date to look forward too next week.”

“Yeah that true I guess…….wait what?!” Katie asked and I blinked before realizing that I hadn’t told her about the date.

“Jake bumped into one of his old army buddies after Climax Control, long story short he has a younger brother who has similar interests and is looking for love so they set us up with a Blind Date.” I explained and Katie frowned. “Is there something wrong?”

“No, just worried about how things could turn out.” Katie said before shaking her head. “Anyway the cameracrew are waiting for you to start your promo for the match so I’ll wait outside.” Katie said before standing up and leaving the hotel room, once I knew that I was alone I turned to the camera.

“It’s been a long time coming but I’m finally getting a chance at single’s gold, in this case it’s the SCW Bombshell Roulette Championship, a chance that I earned last month at High Stakes II where I defeated Tiami Tyler, in the weeks leading up to this match I was expecting it to be just a match between myself and Alexis Morrison but due to her win over Alexis last week on Climax Control Faith has been added to the match, am I complaining? Hell no, in fact I’m looking forward to it more than ever!”

Be honest, who saw that coming.

“I enjoy competition and having to fight off two other Bombshells to win the title? That sounds like a great time to me! I already have history with Alexis dating back to my debut match with Sin City Wrestling but Faith is someone who I haven’t had the pleasure of facing before, obviously that’ll change in two weeks’ time but let’s get the trash talk started! First up is off course Alexis!”

This will be fun.

“I know Alexis has been wanting revenge against me ever since I accidentally cost her team their Blast from the Past match only for karma to bite me in the ass a week later, that coupled with the fact that I’m the Number 1 Contender for the SCW Bombshell Roulette Championship means that a match between us was pretty much inevitable, so Alexis, how does it feel to get your ass kicked by another metalhead?”

It must feel pretty shitty.

“What’s that? I have no way of knowing how the match ended due to me being in Canada? Err, news flash, my brother was there, hell he was the ref for the match! So yeah he told me what happened and I couldn’t help but laugh at the mental image of you being picked up by him only to eat the Bad Girl once you were released…..okay that sounded way more sexual than I thought it would!”

Blame Amy for calling the name that!

“Long story short Alexis, I know your pissed about losing what was supposed to be a warm-up match and the fact that you have to face the woman who pinned you again alongside me, and don’t even think about blaming Jake as he was just doing the best job an inexperienced referee could do, hell it’s not his fault that you couldn’t help but check him out at every opportunity! That said I will win this match and I will walk away the SCW Bombshell Roulette Champion.”

And now for the other woman in this match.

“Next us is Faith, a woman who I haven’t had the pleasure of facing before now and, well, that’s about to change, honestly ever since I saw you compete Faith I wanted to face you in the ring, I know it’s a weird thing to say but if this was one on one then I’m sure that we’d have a great match together, however with Alexis in the mix that complicates things a bit.”

Yeah, just a bit.

“Will that stop me from winning? You should know the answer by now but I’ll tell you anyway, hell no! I earned this spot last month at High Stakes II and I’m not about to let it go to waste! Sure you earned your spot as well by beating Alexis in that match last week but for me this is something that I’ve been eagerly awaiting for a long time, much like my match here in Canada against Misty in the Super J Cup.”

Obviously that’s a different match all together but you get the idea.

“That said Faith, you may be the third woman in this match but I fully intend to beat you and Alexis in this match, sure you two may say the same thing but as much as I’m anticipating a great match I intend to bring in more SCW Bombshell Gold into NXT, you two may try to stop me but I won’t let you and most importantly I’ll win my first ever single’s title.”

I wish it was that simple.

“These next two weeks will be pretty big for me, I’m finally getting my rematch with Misty this week and I’m getting a chance to win singles gold the week after, Faith, you may be a great wrestler but we’ll see who the better metalhead bombshell is, Alexis, you and I have a long history going all the way back to our first SCW match but this is our first one on one match, I hope you’re ready for a fight because I sure as hell am!”

And with that I decided to wrap things up.

“Faith, Alexis, I know you intend to walk out of Sin City with gold around you waist but so do I and I’m not going to let anyone get in my way, Alexis, like I said we have a storied history but I’ll be happy to close the book on this chapter of our history, Faith, you may have been a last minute addition to this match but I won’t treat you any differently from Alexis and I will win, this is SCW’s Heavy Metal Bombshell Jessie Salco reminding the SCW Universe to make it metal and Alexis and Faith to be ready to fight for the title!”

I turned to the laptop as the scene fades.

 Jessie won her match against Angel the Malignant pinning him after hitting the Circle Pit on him and sending her through to the next round, who was next out of the other competitors in the Super J Cup Tournament?

None other than the woman who tried to put her on the injured list a few weeks ago Misty, both women had a tough time getting this far and now they’ll go head to head for the second time! Can Jessie make up for her loss?

“So I see your training session with Spike went well.” Jake commented as I entered the room, I grinned at him as I took a sip from my water bottle.

“Yeah and I’ll need it going into my match against Misty in the next round of the Super J Cup.” I responded as I finished my drink. “I did manage to pin down Spike though.”

“……I thought it was a training session, not sex……” Jake trailed off and I blushed like a madwoman once I realized my mistake.

“I meant in a wrestling sense!” I responded as I brushed a strand of hair behind my ear. “He let me finish early anyway…..no, wait that sounds even worse!”

“How about we change the subject before Vixen comes a knocking?” Jake offered and I quickly nodded in agreement. “Do you think it’ll be enough?”

“Who knows? Spike said it himself that he taught Misty every trick he knows.” I shrugged as I sat down on the sofa. “And that’s if Amanda doesn’t decide to get involved like she did in my Blast from the Past match.”

“Yeah, shame about that, especially since you would’ve faced her team if you had beat Karina and Despayre.” Jake agreed with a nod. “Still Christian promised a one on one match between you two under Roulette Rules once the schedule clears up so you have that to look forward too.” Jake added and I grinned at that.

“Yeah but I still want to know what he’s going to do about Amanda’s interference in my match.” I said with an annoyed grunt. “Let’s focus on one rival at a time though; besides I still don’t know when the match between me and Amanda will take place, at least my match with Misty has a set date.”

“And then there are your problems with Kain, Alexis, and Angel if he holds a grudge over being beaten by a girl…..” Jake trailed off and I rolled my eyes at the last one before cutting him off.

“I get it, I’m a popular girl when it comes to feuds.” I said with a laugh before shaking my head. “Besides given how open the NWA are about promoting intergender matches, hell if I remember correctly Misty lost the Cruiserweight Title to WCCW’s Zak Phenom, I doubt he’ll hold a grudge.”

“Good point.” Jake agreed with a nod before checking his watch. “Kate should be done with the shopping now so I’m off to pick her up.” Jake added and I nodded once I remembered that Katie had trouble getting a rental car for one reason or another, once Jake had left the room and I was alone I decided it was time to start addressing my next NWA opponent.

“It was a tough fight but I was able to clip the wings of Angel the Malignant and most importantly I’m through to the next round of the Super J Cup Tournament, unlike Angel however my next opponent is someone who I’ve faced before and someone who I’ve wanted to have a rematch against for some time now, ever since that bitch tried to put me on the injured list after our first match, her name is Misty.”

I said as I frowned.

“I faced her in the last few weeks of 2012, at the time she had volunteered to take out NXT’s Bombshells on Mark Ward’s behalf but in the end all she succeeded at was injuring me and putting my chances of winning back the SCW Bombshell Tag Titles at risk, ever since then I’ve wanted a rematch with her for one reason, I had her beet, I was this close to hitting her with the Circle Pit before she reversed it into her submission finisher, this is my chance to rectify that and I intend to do just that!”

I’d like to say it’s that simple but I know from experience it’s not!

“Misty, I know from past experience that I’m in for a hell of a fight in this match but I’m not going to back down from this! I didn’t back down from you in our last match and I won’t back down in this match! In fact there’s only going to be one major difference between this match and our last match, you want to know what that difference is? I’ll hit you with the Circle Pit, I’ll pin you and the referee will administer the all-important count before declaring me the winner!”

I know it’s not going to be easy but that never stopped me!

“If there’s one thing I learned from our last match Misty it’s this, your nothing but a bully! Sure you’re a talented wrestler but when the odds are turned in the opponent’s favor you either cheat or beat them down after you win or they win, either way will establish why your called the Queen of the Damned right? Well I’ll be damned if I even think about letting you win this match!”

I just know that bitch is laughing her ass off right now.

“You may not hear it but I can, I know Misty is laughing at the thought of little Jessie Salco beating her in a match! Why wouldn’t she? She’s held more titles than I can count and I’ve only held the SCW Bombshell Tag Titles for a total of two weeks! That’ll change soon though, I’m next in line for a shot at Alexis Morrison’s SCW Bombshell Roulette Championship but most importantly, even if I beat you only to be beaten by my opponent in the next round, my stock in the wrestling world will rise quickly!”

Whilst Misty’s will hit rock bottom, just like her sanity did after her match against Roxanne.

“Do I expect an easy match? No, do I expect a hell of a fight from Misty? Yes, will this match end the same way that our last match did? Hell no! As my old theme song, In Ashes They Shall Reap by Hatebreed, said, I was born to bleed and I fight to succeed in every match that I’m thrown in, I don’t care if it’s against you or Mark Ward I won’t back down from anyone and I will win this match!”

And with that I decided to wrap things up.

“Misty, our last match ended with me on my back hurt from a beating inflicted on me by you and your little minion Ruby whilst those idiots you drag along with you to every match you compete in kept my NXT stablemates busy, this time I will win this match and I won’t end the match in the same fashion, in fact I’ll be sure to wipe out your friends with a Suicide Dive at the earliest opportunity, this is SCW’s Heavy Metal Bombshell Jessie Salco reminding the SCW Universe to make it metal and Misty to expect a humiliating defeat at the Super J Tournament.”

I turned to my laptop as the scene fades.

 It was time for the NWA’s annual Super J Cup and this year it was being hosted by ACW, naturally several competitors where representing SCW including “The Heavy Metal Bombshell” Jessie Salco who would be making her first appearance with the NWA apart from SCW, unfortunately for her she was facing stiff competition in the form off PRA’s Angel the Malignant, can she win?

“Still looking through dating sites Jessie?” Jake asked as he leaned over my shoulder, I sighed as I glanced towards him as my search for dating sites hadn’t been very successful.

“Yeah well, since Ryan Kidd was taken I figured I’d make do with dating outside the company.” I said before holding up a piece of paper which had a list of dating sites on it. “Katie was kind enough to research some dating sites for me but most of them require payments and I don’t make enough money wrestling for SCW to pay for it.” I said with an annoyed sigh.

“You tried meeting guys or girls through Facebook?” Jake asked and I nodded.

“Yeah, set up an account and everything, unfortunately all the people I tried contacting didn’t believe I was, well, me, and refused my friend requests.” I responded as I folded my arms. “On the plus side I did have the foresight to call the other members of my family and tell them that I’ve finally joined the damn site!”

“Yeah, remind me to send a friend request to you later.” Jake responded and I grinned at that, I went back to Google and I could practically feel Jake’s jaw drop as he saw one of the links. “Is…..is that…..”

“An Odette Ryder/Jeff Hardy fanfic, I made it halfway through the first chapter before quitting because the spelling and grammar was so bad!” I added with a frown before scrolling down, this time it was my jaw’s turn to drop. “Oh…..my….god…..”

“Someone wrote a Fanfic featuring you and Odette making out?!” Jake asked and I shook my head.

“Some people look for anything in their fandom to fap too, that includes me and Odette apparently.” I said before quickly closing that tab. “Let’s just forget I was even searching for Dating sites in the first place and move on to something else?”

“Agreed, so what do you plan to do about Amanda?” Jake asked as I closed the laptop lid, I sighed in annoyance as I turned to him.

“I don’t know, maybe I’ll join commentary for Amanda’s match in the Blast from the Past Mixed Tag Tournament and figure things out from there.” I responded with a shrug. “In the meantime I want to focus on my match in the opening round for that Super J Cup Tournament ACW’s hosting.”

“So we go from one tournament to another.” Jake said with a frown. “At least you know who you’re facing in that tournament.”

“Yeah, PRA’s Angel the Malignant, I know he’s a great wrestler and a former champion in PRA but I’m sure that I can give him a hell of a fight.” I responded with a grin. “It may be my first intergender match ever but I’m not letting that stop me.”

“Are you sure about that? He’s got 80ibs on you and is taller as well.” Jake pointed out and I rolled my eyes.

“Hey I’m used to handling things bigger than me, I’m the shortest active Bombshell on SCW’s roster remember?” I pointed out and Jake shook his head. “Besides me and Angel are both high flyers so I should be able to keep up with him in that department.”

“Just be careful out there okay? You’re still a bit tender from your Hardcore Bra and Panties match against Tiami Tyler.” Jake said before he stood up and I rolled my eyes.

“Jake, my match against Angel is next week, I think I’ll be fine by then.” I called out to him and Jake smirked before leaving the room, now that I was alone I decided to address the elephant in the room, namely the NWA camera crew. “Hello NWA universe, you probably don’t recognize me but I’m SCW’s Heavy Metal Bombshell Jessie Salco and this Monday I’ll be making a trip up to Canada to compete against PRA’s Angel The Malignant in the opening round of the Super J Cup.”

I said with a grin.

“I’ve been with SCW since last summer but this is my first appearance with the NWA despite appearing on the rankings for several NWA Championships since my NWA debut, does that mean that I’m not familiar with Angel’s work in PRA? Yes and no, I’m familiar with his work but I haven’t been able to watch PRA since I’ve been busy trying to improve as wrestler, in fact that’s one of the main reasons I signed up for the tournament.”

This is going to take some explanation, isn’t it?

“I’ve only been wrestling for a few years but I haven’t backed down from any challenge yet, I didn’t back down from Misty when I faced her a few weeks ago and I’m not backing down from Angel either, you may be a great wrestler Angel but so am I, hell I’ve been called a future SCW Bombshell Champion by wrestlers with at least ten times my experience and I’m the current Number One Contender for the SCW Bombshell Roulette Championship, that should give you an idea of the fight you’re in for Angel.”

And with that I decided to wrap things up.

“Angel, I never back down from a fight no matter who it’s against and you will be no exception, I look forward to our match Angel but I also look forward to winning the tournament, this is SCW’S Heavy Metal Bombshell signing off.”

I picked up my guitar as the scene fades.

 SCW’s first show and Supercard of 2013 was drawing near and with it came Jessie’s shot at winning a chance at the SCW Bombshell Roulette Championship but first she had to go through the veteran Tiami Tyler, can Jessie win?

“So……what’s this I hear about you signing up for the Super J Cup?” Katie asked as she approached me, like last week I was getting some guitar practice in though this time I was practicing a different guitar riff, namely the Black Sabbath classic “Iron Man” and I looked up before shrugging.

“Yeah, I figured it would be a great way to get noticed.” I shrugged as I continued to play the riff. “Especially since wrestlers from all over the NWA will be competing.”

“And Misty competing had some impact in your decision I take it?” Katie asked and I frowned, I knew she would be asking that the moment I saw that Misty had also signed up for the tournament and I knew what my answer would be.

“Katie, Misty signed up after I did, I had no way of knowing that she’d sign up for the tourney.” I reassured her with an annoyed sigh. “And if she had signed up first I definitely would’ve signed up.”

“Jessie, aren’t you forgetting what happened the last time you faced Misty?” Katie sighed in annoyance. “If Odette hadn’t stopped Misty when she did then who knows what would’ve happened? Whose idea was it to suggest you to sign up for that thing anyway?”

“You can blame me for that.” Jake commented and we turned to him. “I found out about the tournament before Jessie did and I told her about it, it didn’t exactly take much persuasion to get her to sign up.”

“Why do I even bother?” Katie sighed before walking out of the room, once she had left Jake sat down next to me.

“Ignore her Jess; she’s just being her usual overprotective self.” Jake reassured me and I smirked as I set the guitar aside.

“Way ahead of you.” I responded with a smirk getting a laugh out of Jake. “Any word from Tiami since her promo last week?” I asked and Jake shook his head.

“Well, if there was you wouldn’t have asked that question.” Jake answered and I nodded in response. “She seemed pretty hung up on the fact that you made a few mistakes about her past.”

“First off, those weren’t mistakes, I was making guessed based on what I knew at the time.” I answered as I folded my arms. “Besides that if she keeps focusing on what I got wrong in my last promo then this will be in the bag.”

“Are you sure? She is a veteran.” Jake pointed out and I nodded.

“I’m sure, besides no-one’s perfect despite what Matthew Kennedy thinks of himself.” I pointed out with a shrug. “Tiami may be a veteran but she’s bound to be rusty due to the years she’s spent away from the ring which will definitely give me a fighting chance.”

“If you say so Jess, I’m going out to the shops, you need anything?” Jake asked and I shook my head, Jake left the hotel room and once he had left I turned to the camera.

“One more week has passed and things are heating up in SCW, will that stop me from winning my match at the Supercard? What do you think? Tiami, I may have gotten a couple of facts wrong but I don’t care, mistakes happen and considering that I basing my information on what your SCW profile said I didn’t exactly have a lot to go on so I just made wild guesses, don’t like it? Well that’s too bad!”

I said before shaking my head.

“Hell if you want to even further than that then why don’t we bring up the fact that I’m a rookie as well? A rookie making mistakes pretty much comes with the territory when you’re a rookie after all even if it has to do with your history! You may be a veteran but I’ve held my own against women with more experience than me and I’ll continue to do that at the upcoming Super J Cup being hosted at ACW.”

Why am I bringing this up?

“As for why I’m bringing that tournament up well it’s simple, and I don’t mean to offend Tiami in anyway by saying this but as far as I’m concerned this match is basically a warm-up in preparation for the tournament and who better to warm up against than a veteran? Just as I thought, no-one, I’m not saying that I expect an easy match out of this but I don’t want it to be easy anyway.”

And with that I decided to wrap things up.

“Tiami, your kid may have kept you away from the ring but that just means that you’ll be rusty going into out match this Sunday at the Supercard and that means that I’ll have an easier time defeating you and going on to the Roulette Title match, this is SCW’S Heavy Metal Bombshell signing off reminding you to keep it metal!”

I picked my guitar back up as the scene fades.

 Jessie and Vixen lost the tag title match via count out due to Misty’s interference, this week however they had a bigger problem as they were both competing in the Bombshell Battle Royal on the last Climax Control of 2012 against Karina Koji and Amy Marshall, can Jessie win and end 2012 with a bang?

“Okay, Christmas plans are set in stone!” Jake said as he got off the phone, the reason I’ve been so late with my promo this week was because we were putting our plans in motion for Christmas and New Year’s Eve, otherwise known as my 23rd birthday, so I was relieved to hear that.

“Okay, what are the plans?” I asked him and Jake turned to me.

“We’ll be spending Christmas and New Years at mom and dad’s place in Florida and we’ll be leaving the day after Climax Control.” Jake answered and I nodded. “I know how hard it is but it’ll be a long trip to Miami so try to get an early night on Sunday Jessie.”

“I’ll try but you know from experience how long the shows can run for.” I pointed out and Jake nodded. “Don’t be surprised if I end up falling asleep on the ride over.”

“Good thing I’m driving then.” Katie answered before frowning. “Speaking of Climax Control, I know you’re feeling better Jess but are you sure about stepping into the ring for the second week in a row since your beatdown at Misty’s hands?”

“I am and don’t get me wrong, I appreciate the concern.” I answered confidently. “But it’s obvious that this match is another excuse for Mark to try to drive NXT apart, he tried that last week but pitting Spike and Casey together for the Heavyweight Title and he’s trying it this week by putting me and Vixen in the Battle Royal.”

“Wait, isn’t Mark Ward suspended?” Jake asked and I shrugged.

“He probably booked this match behind Christian’s back like Christian did with Matthew Kennedy and Marty McFarge’s contracts a couple of weeks ago.” I answered and Jake nodded once he realized I had a point. “Christian probably didn’t realize it until it was too late to change it.”

“Maybe, but what matters is that you can team up with Vixen to eliminate Karina and Amy and then the two of you can put on a great match before either of you are eliminated.” Jake answered before checking the time. “Speaking of Christmas, we’d better get that Christmas Shopping done, I know you did yours online Jessie but some of us like doing it the old fashioned way.”

“By old fashioned you mean searching through the city looking for the right gifts for your relatives despite half the shops being sold out so close to Christmas.” I teased him and Jake smirked before leaving the room.

“If you need anything give us a call Jess.” Katie said before grabbing the painkillers and putting them in her purse, I nodded in response and once Katie left the room I turned to the camera.

“You know what would’ve been a killer Christmas Gift this year? Besides tickets to next year’s Bloodstock Festival off course.” I asked rhetorically before frowning. “The SCW Bombshell Tag Team Titles, but no, Misty just had to inject herself in NXT business again and cost us the match, why am I bringing this up?”

Do I really need to answer that?

“Because this week in the Bombshell Battle Royal I am facing Amy again alongside Vixen and Aleksei’s sister Karina, since Karina is the only one to date to tape a promo for the match I’m starting with her but first a little something for Vixen, we may be stablemates but in this match it’s every woman for themselves, I won’t back down from the fight and I know you won’t either.”

And now it’s time for me to address Karina.

“Karina, I don’t know how you know that I’ve been a victim for most of my life because it’s not exactly something that I like to talk about but you know what? I don’t care, if you choose to tell me after the match be my guest but in the meantime I have this to say, you think you can out-wrestle me just because I haven’t been wrestling that long?”

Yeah, I don’t think so.

“That’s not happening, I will defeat you in the Battle Royal and I won’t let my lack of experience get in my way, you may be Aleksei’s sister and I may be friends and stablemates with your brother but I won’t let that stop me when we face off in the Battle Royal.”

Next up is Amy.

“And once again I find myself in a match involving Amy Marshall, you like holding the SCW Bombshell Tag Titles Amy? I hope so because if it weren’t for Misty’s interference last week those belts would be back in NXT and back around my waist, you may be a veteran like the other Bombshells in this match but I won’t let that stop me from giving it my all and defeating the three off you.”

I sighed in annoyance.

“I’m well aware of the fact that it’s the last Climax Control of 2012, in fact it’ll be my last Climax Control as a twenty-two year old wrestler because I’m turning twenty-three at the end of the month, what am I getting at? It’s simple, I have a New Year’s Resolution this year and that is to win the SCW Bombshell Championship, I came close before when I competed in that tournament a couple of months ago but now? I’m making it my goal for the new year.”

And that’s not all.

“What does this have to do with Karina, Vixen and Amy? That’s an easy question for me to answer, my three opponents are all veterans and have held numerous titles in their careers, if I can beat them and end 2012 with a win I can focus on achieving that goal even more because I will have defeated three women with at least twice as much experience as me between them, encase you can’t tell that will give me a lot of momentum going into the new year!”

And with that I decided to wrap things up.

“Vixen, Karina, Amy, I don’t care if Misty or every member of Mark Ward’s stable tries to interfere and eliminate me and Vixen from the match because as far as I’m concerned nothing will stop me from winning this match, this is the Heavy Metal Bombshell signing off for the last time in 2012.”

I turned to my laptop as the scene fades.

 Jessie had a big test ahead of her this week as she was facing Misty in singles competition, the rookie bombshell was in for a hell of a fight but knowing Jessie backing down from the fight was the last thing on her mind, can she beat the Queen of the Damned?

Jessie’s hotel room, San Bernardino, California
December 5th, 2012, 4:00pm

“Who the hell does Mark Ward think he is?!” Katie demanded as she stormed around our hotel room, we had finally shown her the next SCW card, even taking the time to highlight my match, after figuring out how we were going to calm her down, needless to say she isn’t thrilled about the prospect of me facing the woman who’s match was so violent she stopped coming to SCW shows all together as a direct result. “Putting you against Misty?! There’s no way in hell you’re ready for someone like her.”

“Katie, I’ve improved a lot since my debut match, you know it, and we all know it.” I responded as I turned to her. “And for the record, I asked to be Misty’s first opponent in her little crusade.”

“Oh, that makes it all better then.” Katie said before leaving the room.

“3……2……1…..” I whispered to myself as I waited for it to hit Katie.

“WAIT, YOU ASKED FOR WHAT?!” Katie yelled out before storming back into the room. “Jess, I know you love competition but this is going too far!”

“For once this has nothing to do with competition.” I answered as I looked her dead in the eye. “The way I see it, if I can beat her before her crusade begins I can cut off her crusade against me and the other female members of NXT before it even begins; besides she’s clearly not the same woman who practically ended Roxanne’s career a few months ago.”

“That’s true Jess but that doesn’t make her any less dangerous, hell she barely beat Necra in her first match back.” Jake answered and I turned to him. “That and Misty will have her disciples with her.”

“I talked to Spike about that, he agreed that the rest of NXT will accompany me and you to the ring for the match encase they try anything.” I answered before turning to Katie who clearly was unconvinced. “Even if that doesn’t work a quick Suicide Dive should be enough to take them out for a short while.” I added and Katie sighed.

“Jess, I don’t approve of this but I know how stubborn you can get, I still remember the argument we had before we left for the Bombshell Party the week before your SCW debut.” Katie sighed in resignation. “Obviously the match has been signed and short of either you or Misty getting attacked before the match I doubt it’s going to be cancelled, Jake, I want you to train her extra hard for this match.”

“We already have that covered.” Jake answered and Katie nodded. “Spike’s been helping as well; obviously he realizes how big a threat Misty is to the Bombshells in NXT.”

“Not that that helped Vixen when she faced her a few months back.” I sighed as Katie left the room; I waited for her to close the door behind her before shaking my head. “Misty obviously doesn’t know what to expect from me since I’m the only NXT member that she’s never faced before.” I added and Jake sighed.

“Yeah but she’s a former NWA Cruiserweight Champion and SCW Bombshell Champion, there’s a good chance that she’s faced wrestlers with a similar style to yours.” Jake pointed out and I frowned. “Yeah, I know your bummed Venom and Vice didn’t make it onto the tag rankings, didn’t help that I was the only one to vote for you two.”

“Don’t worry about it, me and Becky will get another shot of making it onto the rankings.” I answered before frowning. “Kind of wish Misty had taped a promo by now though.”

“Actually she has, I have it recorded on TV.” Jake answered and it didn’t take me long to make my way over to the sofa facing the TV so that I can watch the promo and Jake sits down next to me so that he can watch it as well, once the promo ends I shake my head. “What does she take me for, a rookie fresh out of wrestling school?”

“Apparently, then again it’s like you said, you never faced her before.” Jake answered with a shrug and I frowned. “Look, it’s obvious that Misty’s main focus isn’t on you, it’s on sending a message to Vixen and Odette.”

“I won’t let her make an example out of me.” I said determinedly. “I may be one of the youngest Bombshells on the roster but I’ve held my own against girls with at least ten times my experience and Misty will be no exception.”

“Yeah, I get that.” Jake responded with a nod. “But Misty…..she’s something else, she was already fucked up before her match against Roxanne but since she returned? She’s like some kind of cult leader.”

“I always said that deluded idiots who surround themselves with equally deluded minions to do their bidding are nothing but cowards, Misty is no exception to that rule.” I answered before frowning. “Bro, you mind give me a few minutes so that I can tape my promo?”

“Sure, call me if you need me.” Jake answered before standing up and leaving the room, once I saw sure that I was alone I turned to the camera.

“I’m going to say this right now Misty, the day I’m a sacrificial lamb is the day that the world ends…..which would be oddly fitting given the latest end of the world conspiracy theories.” I trailed off before shaking my head. “You want to make an example out of me? Too bad, not only will I beat you at Climax Control but I’ll make sure that your crusade against the female members of NXT ends before it begins.”

Seriously, why do people think I’m the weakest NXT member? Jamie Staggs is a member of the stable for crying out loud!

“And another thing, if you expect me to bow to you then forget it, I don’t bow to anyone let alone some crazy Goth bitch in fact my goal going into the match is to make sure that you never even get started on your crusade against NXT, if it weren’t for NXT excepting me into their ranks so early in my SCW career I don’t know where I’d be right now, for all I know I probably would’ve relapsed by now if it weren’t for the older members of NXT helping me so no, I will not and cannot let you destroy NXT.”

That’s going to be easier said than done.

“Does that mean that I’m expecting an easy fight? Hell no, I know what championships you’ve held, I know who you’ve beaten I’ve seen your match against Roxanne about a million times since it first aired on TV, you get the idea, I know exactly what I’m getting myself into and I look forward to forcing you to put your money where your mouth is, anything to shut you up!”

I said before shaking my head.

“What you don’t understand Misty is that the moment I saw your segment on the last addition of Climax Control I pretty much volunteered almost immediately to be your first opponent in your crusade, I may be a rookie but I don’t back down from anyone on the roster whether it’s you, Hope Heelcum or Argento there’s no-one on the roster that I’m scared to fight and you are no exception!”

Yes, I’d fight men if Mark and Christian allowed it, hell I could probably take the Roulette Title from the current champ!

“You may see this as a message to my friend Odette but I see it differently, I see it as a stepping stone for me and as a way to prove my loyalty to the other members of NXT, you may see me as a stepping stone to the other female NXT members but I don’t care one bit because I will stop you from getting any closer to Vixen and Odette.”

And with that I decided to wrap things up.

“Spike’s training may have failed to help Vixen but it won’t fail to help me defeat you next Sunday at Climax Control, Christmas is coming up and I know the only thing Mark wants for Christmas is to see NXT destroyed well I have bad news for him, we’re here to stay and sending Misty to do your dirty work won’t help either, as for you Misty I’m no sacrificial lamb and I will prove it this Sunday because I’m born to bleed and I will fight to succeed in this match!”

I turned to the TV as the scene fades.

 The ragtag team of Jessie Salco and Becky “Ragdoll” Jones managed to score the upset victory over Bei Combatenti in a Pumpkin Juice Match, yes you read that right, and in two weeks at High Stakes II Jessie and Becky will team up again to take on Bei Combatenti and this time the titles where on the line, will Jessie and Becky win again? And if so what will that mean for Ragdoll and NXT?

Backstage at Climax Control
October 28th, 2012, 11:00pm

“Ugh! I can’t believe our segment got cut for time!” I said as I sat down in my locker room, the Main Event was happening in at the time which meant that most of the camera crew where heading home besides the guys taping the match, I was in the Pirate Outfit that I brought at the Costume shop and Jake was in an outfit that can only be described as “Dreaddy Krueger”, it’s exactly as it sounds. “I spent fifty dollars on this damn thing!”

“Relax; we’re attending that Halloween Party on Wednesday so we can show off our outfits there!” Drea…..I mean Jake reassured me as he removed the Freddy Krueger glove. “Look on the Brightside, you won against Bei Combatenti.”

“Yeah, should be a matter of time before me and Becky get a rematch for the titles.” I responded before there was a knock at the door, Jake answered it and grinned.

“Your right there, you and Becky are fighting the champs at High Stakes II!” Jake told me and I grinned at that. “At least it won’t be a pumpkin juice match.”

“Ugh, don’t remind me! It took me two hours to get that shit out of my hair!” I responded with a frown. “Jake, see if you can grab a camera-crew, I want to get my promo done.”

“What, already? You sure you don’t want to wait until tomorrow?” Jake asked and I shook my head. “Suit yourself if you can’t get promo time we’ll book you some promo time tomorrow.”

“Fine by me.” I responded with a shrug and Jake walked off, it was a five minute wait before Jake returned with a camera crew. “That was quick.”

“Not as quick as Hawkes’s time in the Roulette Title Match.” Jake responded and I grinned. “By the way, how did you get roped into Odette’s boy band segment?”

“Odette said that she had stolen Hawkes’s porn stash and was going to screen it to whoever went through with the seg.” I responded with a shrug. “Needless to say I got curious.”

“Fair enough……wait, Hawkes has a porn stash?!” Jake asked and I shuddered.

“I don’t know what’s more disturbing, that or he’s apparently into the nastier side of Hentei Porn.” I answered and Jake shuddered before nodding. “Then again this is coming from the woman who looks like she stepped out of a One Piece Porno Spoof.”

“Okay, well I was able to grab these guys just as they were loading up their equipment, they agreed to tape a promo since they didn’t get much work tonight, yeah I know how strange that is considering the number of segs.” Jake responded before going to leave the room. “I’ll be waiting by the car, before you ask the Main Event ended during your wait.” Jake added before leaving, I turned to the cameramen and smirked.

“Bei Combatenti, I bet you girls weren’t expecting a ragtag team like me and Ragdoll to not only do as well as we did but defeat you earlier tonight, weren’t you?” I asked before grinning. “But the truth is, Becky was absolutely right in her promo earlier this week, we have a lot in common when it comes to wrestling. We both do whatever it takes to win in the ring and more often than not we put our bodies on the line in the process, and you know what else? That was our first match together, how do you think we’ll do at High Stakes II where we not only know each other and our styles but we have actual experience working together? Yeah you may as well just hand over the title belts now and save us the trouble.”

First up is Bianca.

“Bianca, you may not have been the Bombshell that got pinned in the match but you know what? This order worked out so well in my last promo so why mess with it?” I said with a massive grin. “If you or Trish think for one second that you’ll get the jump on me and Becky the second time around then your sadly mistaken, we are wise to your tricks and we won’t fall for them the second time around, the first time was a lucky shot that ended up backfiring anyway, the second time? There won’t be a second time! Bianca, it’s like I said, you’d better get the nameplate on those titles changed to Jessie Salco and Becky “Ragdoll” Jones ahead of time!”

Next up is Trish.

“Oh boy, Trish, the so-called “Best of the Best” got defeated by a Spinning Heel Kick, an Enziguri and a roll-up by two women who have never even teamed up before!” I said as I fiddled with the toy parrot on my right shoulder, no matter what that thing just won’t come off! “If that doesn’t destroy your reputation then then losing to us a second time and losing the titles in the process definitely will, hell after this match you may as well change your nickname to “Worst of the Worst” because that is a much more appropriate nickname for you and I’m sure Becky will agree there! Trish, call Bianca and tell her that the two of you had better shine those titles up nice and clean for me and Becky because after High Stakes II I’ll be holding my first ever championship.”

What’s that? I’m being arrogant? Nah! It’s confidence.

“Face it girls, you were in control for most of the match, the match practically being Jason Addams’s wet-dream aside, and what did it take to put you girls down for the three count? Like I said before, one spinning heel kick, one Enziguri and a roll-up! We didn’t even need our finishers to win the match! Then again I doubt I would’ve been able to pull off the Wall of Death or the Circle Pit in that pool……oh crap, I revealed the name of my new finisher before debuting it! Fuck it, I’ll debut it in this match!”

And now it’s time to wrap things up.

“Bei Combatenti, you may have underestimated me and Becky going into our match earlier tonight but unless you’re the dumbest pair of Bombshells on the roster you won’t be making the same mistake again! Then again it doesn’t matter if you underestimate us or not because we are walking out of High Stakes II with the Bombshell Tag Team Championships around our waists because we are born to bleed, built to endure what the world throws at us and we’ll fight to succeed and win those titles!”

I left my locker room as the scene fades.

 In recent weeks the Bombshell Division has been pitted against each other for a chance to win the SCW Bombshell Championship that was vacated my Mercedes after Into The Void, this week it was the turn of three more Bombshells, Odette Ryder, Laura Jackson and the Heavy Metal Bombshell herself and Odette’s teammate in NXT Jessie Salco, obviously the two NXT Members where entering the match with clashing feelings something that Laura could take advantage off.

Jessie’s hotel room, Laughlin, NV
October 15, 2012, 11:00am

“Well Jess, I’ve got some good news and some bad news.” Jake said as he approached me with a copy of the new Climax Control card in his hand, I was at my laptop and moments ago I had been blasting out Testament’s The Legacy album. “Good news is that you’re finally in one of the Bombshell Championship Triple Threat Matches.”

“About damn time!” I said with a grin as I turned to him. “What’s the bad news?”

“Bad news is you’re finally in one of the Triple Threat Bombshell Championship Matches.” Jake said and I looked at him as if one of his dreadlocks had started speaking. “And Odette is one of your opponents.”

“Oh please tell me this is a joke!” I groaned as I leaned my head back, I knew I’d had to face her eventually in the tournament but I was hoping to face her in one of the later rounds. “Who’s the other Bombshell in the match?”

“Laura Jackson, one half of the Tattooed Goddesses.” Jake said before handing me a copy of the card so that I could see for myself. “You may remember her as the member whose random drug test cost the Tattooed Goddesses the Bombshell Tag Team Titles?”

“Oh yeah, I’m still pissed off about that.” I groaned as I thought back to the press release. “When I was waiting for the results of the drug test I thought I’d be fired from the company after one match if I failed it, now she fails one and she gets a slap on the wrist?”

“You call being suspended without pay a slap on the wrist? Then again it probably is compared to being fired.” Jake shrugged his shoulders. “Look I know you were looking to face her later on in the tournament but you’ve seen enough of Odette’s matches to be pretty familiar with her wrestling style.”

“Yeah and it’s similar to mine.” I pointed out before sighing. “But Laura on the other hand, she’s got the advantage going in, she’s a brawler and has at least ten pounds on both me and Odette in terms of weight, and that’s not even considering the possibility of her girlfriend Amanda interfering on her behalf.” I added with a frown.

“True enough.” Jake shrugged before pausing. “Wait, Amanda as in Laura’s tag team partner Amanda Cortez? You mean to tell me that two of the Bombshells are in a Lesbian relationship?”

“I don’t know the details but they’re not exactly in the closet about it.” I said with a shrug as Jake started rubbing his chin. “I’m not saying I have any issues with that off course, hell I’ve been with a few women myself.”

“True enough, but I still think we should grab a camera and tape Marty McFarge’s reaction to the news.” Jake added and I groaned.

“You do that, the further I am away from that creep the better.” I responded and Jake nodded in understanding. “Just give me the footage so I can put it up on YouTube later, okay?”

“You have a deal.” Jake nodded in agreement before walking off, I sighed in annoyance before turning to the camera so that I could get ready to tell the SCW audience my thoughts on the match.

“My first shot at the SCW Bombshell Championship and I have to beat one of my friends and stablemates and one half of the tag team who’s stealing my tattooed bombshell gimmick in order to qualify for it, yeah, I’m pretty conflicted about this match.” I said before sighing. “I’ll start with Odette since I have the most to talk about her to talk about but I’ll get to Laura in due time.”

I am not looking forward to this.

“Odette, you were the first Bombshell I talked to in SCW, hell your decision to host the Bombshell Party the week before I made my debut helped me get noticed……and unintentionally led to me having to do a drug test but that’s not important, when you talked about forming a team with me a few weeks back I got excited about the possibilities but I guess the SCW higher ups saw that and decided to show for the second week in a row that they have a sadistic sense of humor.”

Seriously, I think Christian and Mark have a meeting every week to discuss how to piss off certain SCW Superstars.

“Does that mean I’m not looking forward to the match? Hell no, this is my first possible shot at the SCW Bombshell Championship and making Spike’s prediction of me being a Bombshell Champion come true, I was just hoping that it was against anyone but you Odette, I’m sure we can put on a great match but at the same time it would suck if either of us was eliminated this early from the tournament.”

And the award for biggest understatement ever goes too.

“Odette, no matter who wins this match we’ll still be friends but that won’t stop me from winning this match, and if I can debut the new finisher that I’ve been perfecting with the help of some of Spike’s trainees then that would make things a lot better, even more so if I hit it on Laura and not you, especially since I know this isn’t an elimination match.”

Speaking of Laura it’s time I talked about her.

“Next up on the chopping block is Laura Jackson, one half of the Bombshell Tag Team with the shortest Bombshell Tag Title Reign in SCW history The Tattooed Goddesses.” I said before shaking my head. “I realize that you were probably not hoping to hear that from one of your opponents in your first match back but you know what? Tough shit, the reason you lost the title in the first place pisses me off!”

I’ve been waiting for this.

“Encase you didn’t hear Laura, I’m a recovering drug addict, that’s pretty much widely known across the SCW fanbase ever since my debut match, like you I was forced to take a drug test and the wait for the results was torturous for me, why? Because I thought that I’d be fired for failing the drug test obviously I tested negative so that brings me to the question your probably asking yourself, what does this have to do with you? You failed your drug test but they suspended you and stripped your team of the Tag Titles so yeah, I’m more than a little upset about that fact.”

Seriously, did they give me special treatment because I basically admitted to using the hardcore stuff on air?

“Besides that I don’t really have any reason to be upset with you, hell I should probably be more upset at Christian for showing you bias but I’m not about to go on a rant about the guy who signs my paychecks, what matters is that you’re here now in this match and your one of my opponents, I intend to make it through to the next round one way or another and if you get in my way you’ll regret it big time.”

And with that I decided to wrap things up.

“This match has me conflicted for obvious reasons, I’m facing Odette in her first match since losing the Bombshell Championship and I’m facing Laura who’s lax punishment for failing a drug test still leaves a bitter taste in my mouth however no matter what I am going to win this match and go to fight for and hopefully win the SCW Bombshell Championship, in the meantime Laura and Odette you’ll learn why the first words spoken in my theme-song fit me perfectly, I was born to bleed and I’ll fight to succeed in this match and win!”

I turned to my laptop as the scene fades.

 Five years ago, when I was training to be a wrestler, if you had told me that I would be in the same stable as not one, not two but several champions and former champions because their leader thought I had potential, I would’ve laughed my ass off.

I mean yeah, I know older wrestlers see a lot of potential in me but back then I was far more interested in making up for past mistakes through wrestling, but now look at me, sure I’m 2 and 0 in the win/loss department but I can thank my smug bitch of a tag team partner for that, last I heard she was sulking in her cabin somewhere and that suits me just fine, the further away I am from her the happier I am.

So where am I exactly? Well I’m still on the Summer XXXTreme cruise ship, everyone is really the cruise doesn’t end until tomorrow, and Christian and Mark are throwing a post Supercard party on the deck bellow me for fans and wrestlers alike, I’d be down there except I’m not really a social events kind of person and growing up in foster care did not help that fact one bit, right now I’m just resting my arms on the railing and admiring the view.

“Ah, there you are.” I heard a familiar voice ring out and I turned around to see Odette standing there. “I would’ve thought you’d be downstairs with the others.”

“I would be if I were a Social Events kind of person.” I sighed as I turned to the new Bombshell Champ; it was a casual wear party so most of the wrestlers had thrown on their outfits for it. “Truth is I’m not though, growing up in foster care didn’t exactly help.”

“I can imagine.” The Australian Bombshell said sympathetically as she approached me. “You sure you don’t want to hang out with your new stable-mates though?”

“Yeah that’s the other thing, I couldn’t be happier to be in NXT don’t get me wrong but next to all those champs and former champs I can’t help but feel just a bit intimidated.” I said honestly and Odette smiled at my honesty. “Congrats on winning the Bombshell Championship by the way, at least it didn’t end on interference this time.”

“Thanks and I couldn’t agree more.” Odette said with a grin before noticing my earphones. “What you listening too?”

“My new theme song, Redemption’s a great song but I never intended it to be a permanent theme.” I said with a shrug before showing her my IPod which showed the Hatebreed song “In Ashes They Shall Reap. “Personally I think this fits me a lot better.”

“I’ll have to give it a listen.” Odette said before motioning me to come with her. “Come on, your new stablemates won’t bite; besides this may help with your social events problem.”

“Yeah I guess you’re right, besides it’s not like I can hijack the DJ Booth again since they put it on a raised platform.” I said with a shrug and Odette grinned.

“Honestly if it was up to me you’d be the DJ for the party, the current one’s crap.” Odette said with a smirk and I laughed at that, I followed her down to the party and saw many of the wrestlers either chatting among themselves or with the fans, most noticeable was Matthew Kennedy and Marty McFarge and not because they were checking out the Bombshells, Marty was making no secret of that fact as usual, but it was the fact that they were talking in hushed voices and anyone who saw their seg knew why.

“Whoever let Burnside onto the boat is probably fired from his next five jobs.” I whispered to Odette who shuddered.

“I think your being a bit generous.” Odette said before shaking her head, I followed her to where the other members of NXT where hanging out as were my four siblings. “I found her guys.”

“Excellent.” Spike said with a grin before inviting me to take a seat. “No need to explain yourself, your siblings told us how awkward you are at parties.”

“It’s fine, I’m honestly still getting over the shock that you’d even consider me for this group but I’m glad I accepted.” I said honestly and Casey turned to me.

"Hey Jessie, I am glad you joined the New XTremes.” Casey greeted me with a smile which I returned.  “I know what it is like to see people like you struggle with their demons.  My first tag team partner here in SCW was a big alcoholic, and he was stubborn and wouldn't let me help him get on the straight and narrow.  I hope that you will let us in NXT, as well as Jake and Katie, help you stay clean." Casey added and I nodded.

“Yeah, I’ve seen that happen a few times since I became a wrestler myself.” I said with a frown before shaking my head. “Let’s change the subject before things get too depressing.”

“Yeah, that does sound like a good idea.” Casey agreed before motioning to Spike. "Since I joined forces with Spike, I have had a whole lot of success, winning the Tag Team titles and the Roulette Championship.  He sees potential in you like he saw in me, granted we have different styles, but he sees championship material in you like he did in me."

“Thanks, I appreciate that.” I said before grinning as Craig affectionately ruffled up my hair.

“Look at that Johnny, our baby sis is finally moving up in the world.” Craig said with a grin and I shot him a mock glare. “Seriously though it’s been a rough road but with any luck it should be all uphill from here for you Jess, I’m happy for ya.”

“Thanks Craig.” I said with a grin before ordering a non-alcoholic drink, it was then that I noticed that Jake and Vixen where having a long, involved conversation. “Chatting up my stablemates already Jake?” I asked with a grin and he turned to me.

“Nah not really, it just that once we found out that we’re both ex-armed forces we just kept talking and talking about it.” Jake said as he took a sip off his drink. “I don’t know about you Jess but I have a great feeling that this is going to do wonders for your career.”

“Couldn’t agree more.” I replied as the waiter brought over my drink.

“Yeah, well, take my advice Jess; just don’t expect something big to happen straight away, potential or no potential.” Vixen said as she drank her drink. “As a member of this group I’ve been overlooked but with my win tonight that’s going to change.” Vixen said determinedly and I nodded. “You’ll get out of your current rut at some point, even if your team was doomed from the start.”

“Tell me about it, it was fun to punch Evangelista though.” I added and the NXT members laughed, Aleksei turned to me with a smirk.

“Sounds like you’ll have no trouble fitting in with NXT after all, not to mention the Party Hoarde.” Aleksei added and I turned to him. “Johnny mentioned that you where the Queen of pranks growing up?”

“Oh god, that!” I said with a laugh as I took a sip. “I’m still a bit of a prankster but considering that Katie was for the longest time the only person I could prank without getting my ass kicked I got old pretty quickly.”

“She’s not lying about that.” Katie confirmed and Aleksei smirked at that. “Speaking of the hoarde where are Giani and Jamie?”

“I don’t know; they ran off a while back to pull some pranks on people.” Spike shrugged his shoulders and Katie looked at him surprised. "Without sounding insensitive to your sister's situation he doesn't need my constant supervision, he may act like it but he doesn't, anyway enough of this, I propose a toast, to our new members, our new champions and to the future!” Spike raised his glass and we all did likewise with our glasses meeting in the middle, being the shortest I had the most difficulty but I got there in the end.

 Even though Jessie wasn’t in action this past week on Climax Control she did end up being taken out on a stretcher due to her being whacked in the head with a Steel Chair by Carly Athens whilst trying to save Odette Ryder.

At Summer XXXTreme she was in the biggest match of her career so far as she was facing not one, not two, not three but four opponents as she was taking part in a Triple Threat Bombshell Tag Team Match for the Bombshell Tag Team Titles against the newly crowned champs The Party Girls and The Freekettes, only problem? Her tag team partner was Miss Evangelista, a women who Jessie had no kind words for in her debut promo and had cheated to beat her in Jessie’s debut match, would they be able to set aside their differences?

Dominican Hospital, Santa Cruz CA
July 30th, 2012, 11:00am

Ugh, my head, this is making my hangovers seem pleasant!

I glance around my surroundings and quickly realize that I’m in a hospital bed, though the bleeping noises from the machines probably should’ve alerted me to that fact first! Another thing I realize is that I’m still in my outfit from the show minus the denim jacket which is hanging over the back of one of two chairs.

“Ah good, your awake.” I looked up and saw a doctor standing nearby with a much younger nurse nearby, I noticed that some of the younger male patients where checking out the nurse but I ignored that. “Jessica, I’m Doctor Phillips, how are you feeling?” I groaned.

“My head hurts like hell for one thing, and I prefer to be called Jessie by the way.” I told him and the doctor nodded.

“As you wish Jessie, well you’ll be pleased to know that you only suffered a minor concussion and minor blood loss as a result of Ms. Athens’s attack on you,” The doctor added and I breathed a sigh of relief. “You should be free to compete at the Summer XXXTreme wrestling event that you’re employers are hosting in a couple of weeks.”

“That’s a relief.” I said with a grin. “Are my siblings here?”

“Yes, they are waiting in the waiting room; do you want me to send them in?” He asked and I nodded before he and the nurse walked off, it was around that point that I realized that I still didn’t know who my opponent was or what kind of match it was, my thoughts where interrupted when my siblings came into view and sat down.

“Jess, I think you’re taking the metalhead label a bit too literally.” Jake said as he sat down and I groaned as did Katie. “Oh come on! It wasn’t that bad!”

“Jake, trust me it was.” I told him before shaking my head. “Did my match for Summer XXXTreme get announced?” I asked them and they nodded.

“Good news is your competing for a title, namely the Bombshell Tag Titles.” Jake said as I turned to him. “Your opponents are the new champs and The Freekettes.”

“Guess I’ll have to end The Party Girls’ reign as champs early.” I said with a broad grin. “What’s the bad news?”

“Bad news is who you’re teaming up with.” Katie chimed in and I turned to her. “You remember Miss Evangelista from your debut match?”

“You mean that bitch that had to cheat to beat me? Hell yeah I remember her.” I said with a look of annoyance on my face. “Why do you……oh no, please tell me this is a giant prank you’re playing on me?!” I asked once it dawned on me.

“Sorry, I’m not the pranking type, that’s more your area of expertise anyway.” Katie said with a grin which I returned. “You’re teaming up with Miss Evangelista.”

“You have got to be kidding me?!” I said with an annoyed growl. “Did Christian and Mark even watch my debut match?”

“Hard to say but if you want to win you are going to have to set aside your differences with Miss Evangelista, I know that’s asking a lot but still.” Jake told me and I shook my head. “The rest of the card was announced as well, they didn’t let me bring my laptop in so I’ll show you when you get discharged from the place, I have to say though, and it’s looking like a stacked card.”

“Doesn’t surprise me, it is a SCW Supercard after all.” I pointed out with a shrug. “Actually I think I know why they put me and Evangelista together for this match, because The Fallen are too busy fighting The Logan Boys for the NWA Titles.”

“Makes sense to me.” Jake shrugs as Doctor Phillips returned.

“You seem to be pretty popular Miss Salco, a woman just turned up wanting to see you, and I believe she’s one of your co-workers.” The doctor told me before pausing. “A Miss Odette Ryder I believe.”

“If she wants to see me send her in.” I shrugged and the doctor walked off to fetch Odette. “We’re going to need a third chair for Odette.”

“Good point, I’ll see if anyone has a chair that they aren’t using.” Jake said with a nod before walking off. “And no Jess, I’m not volunteering because I happened to find Odette and Carly hot.”

“Sure you’re not.” I responded with a grin and Jake rolled his eyes before walking off, I shook my head as I lay back in bed. “God I hate being cooped up in here.”

“That’s what you get for not going in there with a plan.” Katie shrugged and I glared at her. “Yeah, I know you didn’t really have time to plan for it but still.”

“Yeah and any planning I would’ve done would’ve jut given Carly enough time to have her way with Odette using that chair.” I pointed out with a frown. “Katie, just do me a favor and save the nagging just this once, I’m really not in the mood for it.”

“Sure, you did save Odette from a world of hurt anyway so I guess I can’t fault your decision.” Katie nodded just as Jake returned with a chair for Odette.

“So, I guess this is kind off a stupid question but you guys looking forward to Summer XXXTreme?” I asked them and my siblings grinned.

“Are you kidding? Before the event was announced the closest I got to a Cruise Liner was when I was shipped to Iraq when I was in the army.” Jake said with a grin which Katie returned. “We had a chat with Christian and Mark by the way and they agreed to let Craig, Johnny and our parents stay on the ship as fans.”

“That’s great news, I can’t wait to see them.” I said with a grin just as Odette showed up doing her best to ignore the wolf whistles. ”Hey Odette, what’s up?”

“Not much, besides losing my title no thanks to Carly.” Odette answered with a hint of annoyance in her voice. “How are you feeling?”

“Besides the splitting headache and the stitches in my forehead I’m fine.” I shrugged as I leaned back. “Still that’s the price I pay for saving you from a world of hurt.”

“True enough and you don’t hear me complaining.” Odette shrugged and I grinned at her. “I’m guessing you were told about your upcoming match?”

“Yeah, I’m not exactly looking forward to teaming up with Miss Evangelista after how our last match ended.” I said with an annoyed sigh. “Honestly this is probably one instance where I wouldn’t mind losing the match because then I wouldn’t have to put up with her for more than one match.” I added and Odette nodded in understanding.

“Sorry if I don’t seem that talkative, the whole Carly situation has me on edge.” Odette apologized and we nodded in understanding. “Thanks for the help anyway, if it weren’t for you taking the hit for me I’d be in your spot right now with a lot more than a busted lip.”

“Don’t worry about it, I’m still trying to wrap my head around why she turned on you to be honest.” I responded and Odette shook her head. “Well whatever the reason was you’ll get revenge on her soon.”

“You got that right.” Odette said with a smirk as Doctor Philips returned.

“Sorry but visiting hour is up; Ms. Salco will need her rest if she wants to recover.” The doctor said and the siblings and Odette left leaving me alone.

*the next day at the Salco Siblings hotel room*

I was discharged from the hospital earlier today and as a result I’ve finally seen the whole card for Summer XXXTreme, Jake wasn’t kidding, it’s a stacked card from top to bottom and I can’t wait to compete in it even if I’m teaming up with someone I hate.

I’m back in the hotel room that I’m sharing with Katie and Jake, Katie left about an hour ago to get food and Jake is busy working out at a local gym, he did invite me to come along but I told him that I wasn’t up for it as I just wanted to rest up and promote my match, and speaking off which…..

“I may be hurt but as my next opponents will soon find out it takes a lot to keep me down for any extended period of time.” I said as I sat down on my bed. “The Party Girls, The Freekettes, you may have a lot more experience than me but that won’t stop me from ending the reign of the Party Girls before they’ve even held the titles for a month, that said there’s pretty much only one person in this match that could possibly stop me from winning, my partner.”

I shook my head in annoyance.

“I don’t know whose idea it was nor do I care, teaming me up with Miss Evangelista is a disaster waiting to happen and if you want proof of that just look at our debut match! Evangelista, if we are able to put aside our differences, which is highly unlikely, there’s a good chance that we’ll win this match but like I said it doesn’t seem that likely and for once it seems that losing this match seems like the lesser of two evils because at least then I won’t have to team up with someone who had to resort to cheating in her first match!”

I sighed before moving on.

“As for my actual opponents, I’ll start with the ones whose last match I watched from the commentary booth with Jake, that’s right I’m starting with the Party Girls, Cookie may be a lot bigger than me and Evangelista and Brandi may have more experience but that won’t stop me from trying to beat you in our match at Summer XXXTreme, even if I don’t exactly like the idea of teaming with Evangelista if we win this match then I guess we’ll just have to set aside our differences.”

All though that sounds about as likely as Metallica ever releasing a decent album again right now.

“That just leaves two more opponents, the Freekettes and too be honest I’m not sure if Rochelle is even a woman based on those muscles, anyway those two may have been in SCW far longer than me or Evangelista but, and as much as I hate to admit it, we are the wild card in this match and we have that fact working to our advantage, with or without my partner’s help I will win this match!”

I guess it’s time to wrap things up, I think Katie should be home soon anyway.

“Injury or no injury, shitty partner or no shitty partner I will walk off that cruise liner with one of the SCW Bombshell Tag Titles in my hand, back at the start of the year I made a New Year’s Resolution to win a Woman’s Title in a major company by year’s end and even if I have to share that glory with Evangelista it’ll be worth it, just remember Party Girls and The Freekettes, when I’m soaring through the sky ready to hit you with my 450 Splash you’ll know that Air Salco has passed you by.”

I heard the door to the hotel room open and I went to see who it was as the scene fades.
