Olympia Gym - Nevada
Monday, May 14

It is a bright, sunny afternoon in Las Vegas, Nevada. Our hero, Ty West is not out enjoying it, unfortunately. He is stuck inside a smelly gym, training with his mentor, Kahlan “Bliss” Fischer. He has been there since early, first getting in some cardio before hopping into the ring with a few of Bliss’ other students.  Bliss is on the apron, shouting out instructions. Mostly they are to her new recruits but occasionally she had to shout a command at the very imposing Ty.

Bliss: “Try not to kill my students, West. Kinda need them to be able to use their arms and legs.”

Ty lets go of an arm of a newb who has been wincing in pain as Ty had held him in an armbar that he just couldn’t seem to gain any leverage from. Ty is grinning to which Bliss rolls her eyes and sighs.

Ty: “What? You want them to have a real ring feel, they gotta know that it is not going to be easy.”

Bliss is not a patient woman

Bliss: “Yes, but no need to break his arm. Not much good to anyone if that happens. Why don’t you take a break and let these guys practice on each other for a while.”

Ty shrugs, but the two other men in the ring give sighs of relief. She slides through the robes and jumps down to the floor.  Bliss goes back to shouting commands and Ty decides to take a seat on a nearby bench. He hardly notices the woman sitting there. She has a dark grey hoodie pulled up over her head, obscuring her face in shadows. There are two bright blue wires hanging out, obviously from her ear buds as they plug into the jack on the bottom of her phone. She is tapping away, and for a brief second, Ty is interested in why this girl was here. He opens his mouth to say something when the girl puts up her hand as if to silence him.

Girl: “I am not here to make small talk with anyone, especially useless meat sacks like you so save whatever you were going to say to try and flirt with me for the next dimwitted blonde, alright?”

Ty’s eyes go wide. He was not expecting that at all.  He stays silent for a moment before trying to get another word in and she once again interrupts him.

Girl: “Who I am is not really that important to you. I don’t want to make small talk or try to be friendly. It’s probably best to just sit there, silent.”

Ty is starting to get annoyed now at how rude this woman was. (I  mean who does she think she is? Does she know who she is talking too?)

Girl: “And yes, I know who you are and that you are the next big thing in the SCW Men’s division. Great. Do you want a cookie?”

Ty didn’t understand why this girl was so angry at him and he hadn’t even been able to utter a single word to her.

Girl: “No. I don’t bake cookies, or wear dresses or prance around and giggle. Just not who I am. So anything you were thinking of to try and break the ice in this situation is futile.”

Ty once again tries to say something when Bliss turns and shouts.

Bliss: “Effie... get your ass in the ring and stop bugging Ty, he’s not cut out for your banter.”

Ty felt the sting of her words too. He was almost sad at the lack of faith either woman, especially when one of them knew him well after a year of being in this gym.

Effie, so we have learned is the rude girls name, pulls out the ear buds and strips off her hoodie. She had a slim, muscular frame. Not particularly well endowed in either the chest or rear but she was attractive in a ‘girl next door’ sorta way. She is quick on her feet, diving in under the ropes and immediately squares up with the guy that Ty just had in the hold only moments before. As Ty watches, his mouth drops further and further open. She was impressive. She could stand her own against those two big guys. Bliss has been watching him out of the corner of her eye and smirks.

Bliss: “Hey big guy, how do you like my new girl eh? Pretty impressive. She’s been training with me for about eight months.”

Ty is confused. He had never seen her here before now and he had been here for almost a year.

Bliss: “She usually works during the day so I was training her at night and on weekends. I think I may just have another success on my hands. What do you think?”

Once again, Ty could only nod his head. (If we didn’t know better, we would think he was attracted to this girl.)

Bliss: “Don’t gawk. She’ll kick you in the balls for it. You’ll never guess where I found her either. I was doing my mentoring program with the IED workshops and there she was. Bad attitude and all and I thought... she is just like I was at twenty-three. Spunky, angry, looking for an outlet to get rid of all that rage. Only I didn’t deny her training like my family did me. I took her in and now, she’s shown she is born to be in this ring.”

He watches intently as the girl gets the same guy down to the ground, pulling his arms back behind him and yells out, “Say uncle you asshat... say it!”

Bliss: “She still needs some work controlling that anger though... but that will come.”

Bliss turns her head back to the ring, breaking up the submission hold before the guy cries out as Effie was insisting he do. He rubs his arms and shakes his head, sliding out of the ring.

Effie smirks and makes her way to the corner, climbing the turnbuckle.

Effie: “Hey pretty boy, next time, that will be you.”

She laughs before jumping down. She was spry, definitely built to climb and jump off those ropes. Ty immediately gets up, he looks at his phone, searches the contacts finding the name of the woman he had been trying to talk to for the last month and hits delete. It asks him to confirm and he changes his mind, hitting the back button and letting the contract remain where it was.

Bliss: “So you think she is ready to join SCW? I was thinking maybe June. She can go in there and make all those bimbos wish they were never born. I love it.”

She laughs and Ty merely nods his head, still in shock. Effie raises an eyebrow in question.

Effie: “Take a picture, it will last longer next time.”

Ty immediately adverts his gaze and Bliss immediately notices how intimidated Ty is of Effie’s big personality.

Bliss: “I had an idea...”

She jumps off the apron, coming to stand in front of Ty.

Bliss: “What if I paired the two of you up?”

Ty shakes his head.

Ty: “For the mixed tag division? No. Not interested.”

Bliss reaches out and hits him on the side of his head.

Ty: “Ow! You are so violent Kahlan! This is abuse!”

Effie is hanging over the top rope. She lets out an amused snicker. Bliss shots the younger girl a look over her shoulder and she immediately stands up and her whole demeanour changes. Bliss looks back to Ty.

Bliss: “What I meant was having each other’s backs for a while. Just looking out for each other. There are some pretty fucked up people on both rosters, having an extra set of eyes around. Think you can both do that?”

Ty opens his mouth to speak and once again Effie is interrupting him.

Effie: “Yeah. Whatever. I don't need a babysitter though.”

Bliss: “Yes, you do. Your anger is both a weapon and a curse. It is going to get you in trouble. Ty here is pretty passive...”

Ty pouts. It was a direct hit to his ego. Bliss turns back to Effie.

Bliss: “But it benefits him, He played his cards right and got himself into a title match against two assphats that no one gives a shot about. It is pretty much an easy win. You compliment each other.”

Effie rolls her eyes.

Effie: “Yeah. Fine. Whatever.”

Bliss: “Good. It’s settled then. Effie is going to shadow you for a few weeks until I think she is ready to join the bombshell division.”

Effie climbs out of the ring. She purposely shoves past Ty, actually causing him to sidestep a little to catch his balance before she picks up her hoodie nad phone. She disappears into the Ladies’ locker room without another word. Ty looks at Bliss.

Bliss: “Look, I know that you are still trying to build your own presence around there but the bombshells are ripe for the picking and since I can’t do it myself, Effie is my next best option. She is spry and quirky. She also has a thick skin when she has control of her anger. We’re a team here.”

Ty smirks at his trainer.

Ty: “A team? There is no ‘I’ in team Miss Fischer. Not something I thought I would hear from you.”

Bliss waves him off with a disgruntled look on her face.

Bliss: “Yeah well, trying to set a good example for my kid, you know. He’s whiny like his Dad. I want to break him of that.”

Ty nods.

Ty: “Does he ever come and see his kid at all?”

Bliss: “Not really. As soon as we split, he went back to Texas and I barely hear from him. It’s like having a kid never really mattered to him. He has a penchant for attractive women. Settling down is not something he is good at. I was wife #3.”

Ty: “Think you’ll do it again?”

Bliss shakes her head.

Bliss: “Nope. In all honesty I have had so much bad luck with significant others in my years that I think I am pretty much better off not getting married again. I thought Chris was going to be the one to change all that because he was different that the others. Drake, Adian, Jackson... yeah... they were all bad boys. But anyway, we aren’t talking about me here. You better win this match Tyler. You are up against two fucking lousy choices. Jon had to cash in a briefcase to get his shot and Caleb only won with you distracting his competition. I’d say that neither of them are really great options to represent a company like SCW. I am not going to say you got this in the bag because cockiness will only get your head lopped off, but you have a pretty damn good chance. “

Ty smiles. Bliss rolls her eyes in response.

Bliss: “That Smile means that all of that just went in one ear and out the other.”

Ty: “What?”

Bliss sighs deeply, obviously a technique to quench a building anger. Ty bursts out laughing.

Ty: “I’m kidding. Of course. I am not going to let another opportunity slip through my fingers again.”

Bliss: “Good boy. And keep an eye on Effie. She will probably get into trouble.”

~The following is an interview that didn’t make it on to the show from last sunday~
RINGSIDE - Henderson Pavilion - Henderson, Nevada
(Before the Main Event)

The camera pans out from the ring to the fans sitting just behind the concrete barriers and then to interviewer, Pussy Willow.

Pussy Willow: “I am here at ringside because earlier tonight, I got word that one of our own was sitting with the fans.”

She walks a few steps before coming to stop at none other than Ty West himself. He has a large bag of popcorn. The shirt he is wearing is rather tight, almost looking as though it might rip over his large biceps.

Pussy Willow: “Ty... why on earth are you out here?”

Ty hands his popcorn to the guy sitting beside him and stands, walking over to tower over the petite reporter.

Ty: “Well Miss Willow, I am not booked on the show tonight so instead of taking advantage of my position, I paid for a ticket, just like everyone else here tonight. Just another fan enjoying the show.”

Pussy smiles, seemingly a little impressed with the actor-turned-athlete.

Pussy: “So are you going to be watching the main event closely? In one of your video logs last week, you challenged Jon Dough to a title match at Into the Void, but yet Caleb Storms is first to get a shot.”

Ty rolls his eyes.

Ty: “Caleb Storms is a punk. He took my joke about Jon’s alter ego and tried to regurgitate it as his own. The man doesn't have a creative bone in his body. If I wasn't such a nice guy, I might just get him for plagiarism. I am not worried. Even if Caleb manages to squeak out a win, I can beat him with one hand behind my back, however my challenge is to Jon. Title or no title, it is about integrity, something Jon has none of. It wasn't just about losing a title. There is always going to be opportunities for that.”

He smiles.

Ty: “And I love how Joshie-poo just switched gears. Diving right into the mixed doubles... a lot of people trying to get a foot in that pond it seems...”

He taps his chin

Ty: “I mean he obviously recognized that he would have to face me if he pursued this any further. So he tucked tail and ran. Just too bad it was straight to that racist chick who incidentally also demands a title shot in every breath. I mean they are meant for each other. Neither one can see how sad and pathetic they truly are. They can inflate each others egos for a while and we can move on to things that matter.”

Pussy nods, she seems to be staring at Ty’s impressive pectoral muscles which are very easy to see in the tight shirt. He smiles seeing where her gaze is.

Ty: “So are YOU excited for the show Miss Willow?”

She shakes her head.

Pussy: “Yes... muscles... I mean Ty... oh...”

She turns red. Ty just chuckles at her.

Pussy: “Thank you so much for your time Ty. Enjoy the show!”

She practically runs away as Ty returns to his seat, taking his popcorn back from the guy beside him

***OFF CAMERA***
The Las Vegas Condo of Ty West.
Monday, May 14 - Evening

Ty heaves the gym back over his shoulder. He had spent another hour or so talking with Bliss about his strategies and promo ideas when he arrives just outside his door only to see the door is ajar, the door frame is splintered open. Ty drops his back in the hallway, takes a deep breath before pushing the door open slowly while standing to the side. He wasn’t going to be stupid and just walk right in. He listens but hears no noise except the very loud clicking of his wall clock. Walking in, he sees that his entire apartment is ransacked. The leather couches are ripped open and stuffing has piled around the room in little piles. Tables and drawers are knocked over and emptied. Moving along into his bedroom, his mattress and sheets have been pulled off the bed and his mattress is cut open in different places. His clothes are strewn across the room. Whoever came here, knew it was his place and they were looking for money. He almost had no clue why until the conversation with his father from two weeks ago comes back to him like a giant light bulb above his head.

He sighs heavily and looks to his landline phone which has been shoved off the side table. The answering machine, surprisingly is still plugged in and blinks with ten new messages. (We know, having a landline phone and an external answering machine seems like something out of the 90’s but Ty didn’t trust phone companies with his messages by making them digital)

He picks up the table and the equipment and rights it on the table before hitting the play button.

“Tyler... it’s your Dad. Where are you? I really, really need your help. They are going to kill me if I don’t at least get them half of the that money. Call me back... please...”

Ty hits delete. And the next message plays.

“Dad again. It’s been an hour. I am scared to leave my motel room. I am here in Vegas. I thought maybe if I saw you in person I could convince you to help out your dear old dad. Here is the address... “

Once again Ty deletes it.

“Tyler. Dad again. Look... I had to give these guys your address or they were going to hurt me. Just please, give them something. Anything.”

Ty is actually angry by this point. His father had given his bookie his address and told them he was going to pay for his debt. It explained why his condo had been broken into.

He deletes the next few messages which were pretty much all the same sort of message until he gets to the last two.

“Tyler West. My name is Robert Rustavsky. I am a colleague of your father’s. AS you know, your father is a bit of trouble with me. Now I know that a son should not have to pay for his father’s mistakes but I think as a good will gesture you should allow my associates the chance to talk to you at your residence. All we want is a quick chat and maybe a bit of a small donation. Just something to take a chuck out of your father’s debt with us. We will be seeing you again, Son.”

Tyler punches the drywall beside the phone. He leaves a pretty big hole in its’ wake and there is a smidge of pink from where he had gotten some tiny cuts along his knuckles. THe last message is from his mother though and it instantly calms him.

“Ty! It’s mom. I just heard that you were doing this wrestling thing now... what is going on with you? All our hard work and you have let that deadbeat agent convince you to do this? First it was that stunt work stuff... Please call me. I’m worried about you. Love you.”

Ty sinks down into his ruined leather armchair as the machine declares that it is the end of his messages. He couldn’t let his personal life do anything to influence this winning the title this coming weekend.

However, having his condo broken into and all his things ruined, that was not something he was okay with.  He knew the motel where his father was and he was going to have a little chat with him. He was done getting involved with his father’s shit. It was time to cut him off completely, as much as it hurt to do so. In all his years, he had tried to impress that man that had walked out on him and only came around when it served some ulterior motive. But he was too stupid to see that Teddy Ricci only ever cared about one person in his life, it was never nor ever would be Ty.

The West-Ward Blogicles
Season 2, Entry #4 -- “Dumb & Dumber”

Ty: “When I first started watching professional wrestling I was only nine or ten. To me it was all exciting and heart wrenching, especially when my favourite guy wouldn’t come out on top, but I was never disappointed completely because I knew that he would eventually get his shot again and he would make a big production out of getting the job done.  Now, I’m that wrestler and somewhere out there is another nine year old boy... or girl... who is waiting for me to prove that I am going to be their hero.”

Ty sits facing the camera. It was once again time for his blog. It isn’t anything fancy but then again, his blogs usually weren’t. He had been advised by Chester, (who is great at PR) that it should be about the impact of his words, not whatever display or theatrics he presented.

Ty: “Now, I am not saying that I am striving to be anyone’s role model, I mean heck, the guy I cheered for was hated by the most of those ones that went for the typical “Drink your milk and eat your vitamins” goodie-two shoes. No, I liked the guy that had grit. Who wasn’t afraid to talk bad about his opponent. Who would sneak into the ring and do whatever it took to get his advantage but overall, was just trying to earn his shot at being that next name in lights.  Speaking of which... I find it very interesting that in all of this, Jon is still trying to pander to the crowds saying they wanted this.  Really? They wanted someone who abandoned them to come in and screw over a bunch of hot new talent (and I use that term loosely for everyone but me) and on top of that, he purposely ignores everyone and wants to take the title to Ben Jordan. A practical legend in SCW. You really think he still wants a shot at the Roulette title when he can get Heavyweight matches? Against bigger and better guys? Naw. Man. Give it up. There is a reason he is ignoring your ass, it’s because #BENDESERVESBETTER.”

He chuckles, shaking his head as he does.

Ty: “And he does. He has been around SCW for years. He shouldn’t be mingling around down here amongst us little fish in the big pond. And what I actually find the most interesting is that you had a briefcase. A free shot at ANY title in the men’s division and you chose the Roulette title... when you should have gone straight for the top tier? That is insanity. It may have seemed like a bold choice for you, but really it was pretty damn stupid. You worked your ass off  to get that briefcase and the best you can do is wait months and then cash it in while you are not even on the roster anymore? Look, I get it man. Your career was probably so far down the shitter that you had to wait for that plunger to bring you back up but it has cost you. Not only do the fans hate you... yeah those noises they make when you speak... those are not because they like you... they are boos. They literally hate your guts.  But also, nobody wants you around anymore. You have zero respect in the locker room. You had 6 men who had you on their hitlist and you acted like they were all small potatoes and then have the nerve to say they had to “earn their shots?” Excuse me? WE DID! We were all selected for a rare ladder match. So not only did you chicken out by coming out at the last possible minute but you chose a match where you basically didn’t need an ounce of actual skill to come out on top. You didn’t knock down any of us. You didn’t contribute to the slobberknocker fest we all were. You just come skipping down in your mask (although you can cut out hte act now, we all know what you look like) and just climb right up and take it. Sure. I get it. Which one of us wouldn’t have done the same thing, right? True. But until I actually had that opportunity I cannot truthfully answer that, however, I bet, everyone would hate me just as much as they do you right now, if I had.”

There is obvious passion in Ty’s voice. (We like when he’s like this)

Ty: “And you wanna know the best part about Sunday’s Climax Control? It wasn’t just you losing the title in an epic fashion, it was that it took literally zero effort from me to distract you into losing it. That’s the hilarious part and you know, we all laughed about it after the show. That’s right. The locker room laughed at you. You are a washed up joke trying to ride on the coattails of others. First you come out saying you did it so you could face Ben. Because you know that without a title, Ben wouldn’t even sniff in your direction. Then you come out still trying to get his attention like a little kid pulling on his mom’s skirts for attention, even after he blatantly pretends you don’t exist. ‘OH OH mommy look at me... look what I did... will you love me now?’ And well, honestly, he didn’t really win against Kris did he?”

Ty smirks but he rolls his eyes.

Ty: “You are not a little kid. And if you wanted the attention of anyone, pulling that shit is not the way to do it. Which is why I did what I did. To prove that you wouldn’t have actually lasted three seconds in that ladder match if you had participated like the rest of us.  You wanna talk about Nick quitting? Sure... the kid couldn’t take the heat so he got out of the kitchen. And Quinton?    Quinton was managed by Crimson and his gang... I am pretty sure that if he hadn’t of been made into a human pretzel he would be here, fighting for his chance just the same as us. Joshua? I am not even going to waste another second on him. I have said all there needs to be said.  Chris Crippler is a ghost.  And then we get to Caleb.”

Ty is still smirking.

Ty: “Oh Caleb. I bet at this point you are celebrating your cheap win. And you will probably say that it doesn’t matter because a win is a win and if Jon got that distracted than it was his fault for losing. True. If you get that easily distracted you are a moron that deserves to lose however... you are a hypocrite if you are happy with that win. You know why? Because you were one of the ones that stood up and said that Jon didn’t earn his shot and he got a cheap victory. That we all did and that the rest of us were chumps for not getting a shot first. Listen kid, the only reason you have that belt right now is because of me. Deny it all you like. Hey even go talk to your girlfriend who incidentally knows shit about wrestling because all she does is blindly cheer you on. Has she ever told you that you were a loser for actually losing? NO. I bet not. No matter how much bad shit you do she is always going to be there, patting you on the head and telling you what a good boy you are and how you did an awesome job. So typical of people in this generation.  It’s not realistic. It’s not a form of encouraging you, it’s giving you a false ego filled with air. I have said it before Caleb... balloons filled with air... well, they easily pop. There is no substance to it. Kinda like your ability in that ring.  For as shitty as Jon is, he’s probably still better than you are. So go fig... I had to pick someone to mess with and I chose Jon this time. I proved my point with him and come Into the Void... I’ll easily make my point about you. I am not going to say that you have no chance. Sure you do. You could find some loophole. You could take advantage of one of my weaknesses... but those chances are pretty low. But who knows. However, I know all your little quirks, Caleb. I know that having a title is the thing that makes you feel relevant. See, If I do lose then hey... I lost. But I am still new in my career. This is only my what... 4th match in my entire career? If I lose it’s just typical of a rookie. But if you lose... mister two time title holder... what does that say about you huh? And Jon... if he loses, especially to a rookie? What does that say about him?”

He taps his chin in thought (It is a very nice chin don’t you think?)

Ty: “I won’t give away my secrets because well they wouldn’t be secrets anymore but I may be new to wrestling, I am not new to life. Wrestling is only part physical. You could be the biggest, baddest guy in that locker room but if you have no wits about you... then all that strength and imposing stature is going to mean nothing. I implore you to actually do some digging. Let me know what you think you know about me. In the meantime, I’m going to be making room in my condo to display that title. Could be a real conversation piece I think. Ladies will probably love it.”

He winks.

Ty: “Talk to you next week guys... sweet dreams.”

He blows a kiss to the camera as it fades to black.

***OFF CAMERA***
Ty’s Las Vegas Condo
Monday Evening

There is a knock at the door, just as he’s getting ready to leave. Ty doesn’t even look in the peephole. He as so furious that even if it was one of Rustavsky’s ‘associates’ he was in no mood to play. But instead it’s a skinny guy wearing a courier uniform. He has a white square box that looks like it’s from some bakery.

Courier: “Ummmm Tyler West?”

Ty’s demeanor changes. This guy looked scared for some reason.

Ty: “Is that for me?”

The courier nods. Ty takes the cake and the man scurries away. Ty closes the door with his food and brings the box to the counter. He thought maybe he would open it once he got back, but instead, curiosity gets the better of him.  He carefully opens the box and when he sees what’s inside he quickly backs up into the fridge, digging the handle right along his spine. It hurt but the shock of what he saw distracted him from the pain.

Sitting in the middle of an otherwise delicious looking red velvet cake was an index finger, cleaned but the bottom was still dripping blood, staining the cream cheese icing pink around where the finger was wedged. There was an envelope stuck inside, probably to prevent couriers from peaking.  He rips it quickly off and looks at the card inside.

If I don’t get my money, you will slowly receive pieces of your father for every week you falter. I trust I have your attention now. I will be in touch.

~TO BE CONTINUED~

[Caleb Storms]

 RP Title: “Holy shit!!!!”

Going into Jon Dough’s Roulette Title defense against Caleb Storms at the go-home show for Into The Void VII everyone thought that Jon would retain the title and Caleb would be placed in a filler match on the card to give him something to do, however Caleb, with some help from fellow Roulette Title contender Ty West, proved them wrong by ending Jon Dough’s Roulette Title reign on his first defense and winning the title.

However, Caleb’s reign may end up being ended the same way at Into the Void VII as his first title defense was on that show, his challengers? The man he beat for the Roulette Title Jon Dough and the man who many say Caleb owes his win too Ty West, defending titles was hard enough in SCW but defending them in a multi-person match was on a different level entirely but if Caleb’s promo for his match against Kai Katona this week on Honor Wrestling’s Showdown show was any indication, the youngster was confident that he would win, can he do what Jon couldn’t and hold onto the title past the first defense?

Local music store, Huntington, West Virginia
Wednesday the 16th of May 2018, 14:00pm

I still can’t believe I did it.

In fact, I’m still buzzing from my Roulette Title win last Sunday on Climax Control as I stand in this music store here in Huntington, West Virginia where tonight’s episode of Showdown is taking place and guess who happens to be in action on that show? That’s right, its me and a mere three days removed from my Roulette Title win I’m scheduled to go one on one with Kai Katona tonight, but I did my promo for that match on Monday, no I know why you’re here!

My first Roulette Title defense!

In all honestly, I had a feeling that it wouldn’t be that long before I had my first defense, I mean hell, I won it on the go home show for the first Supercard of SCW’s reboot! And I had a feeling that Jon Dough and Ty West would be in the running for a shot as well, Jon was the guy I beat for the title at Climax Control 205 and many have argued that I wouldn’t be Roulette Champion right now if Ty hadn’t decided to provide some assistance from the crowd (which is total bullshit by the way).

What I didn’t expect was that they would both be challenging me for the title at Into the Void VII, I thought Jon was going to cash in his rematch clause with Ty banned from ringside but instead all three of us are opening Into the Void VII with my Roulette Title on the line but honestly? I welcome the challenge, especially if winning this match proves that I’m no fluke champion and that I’m the real deal.

“So, did you find any CDs that you liked?” Katie asked as she walked up to me carrying a small handful of albums in one hand, I took a quick glance at them from the side and recognized the albums as being of the Death Metal variety, both old school and new school. “I’ve already picked up a few.”

“I know, I wasn’t expecting to see such a varied collection in the bible belt.” I commented as I glanced back at the albums and then checked out a couple of albums that were in front of me. “I thought the bible said something about not being judgmental assholes and yet we’ve been getting funny looks from the locals ever since we got here.”

“At least we’ll be back in Las Vegas tomorrow.” Katie nodded in agreement before I decided on a few albums and picked them up. “Then again, you’re not exactly helping matters by wearing your At the Gates Slaughter of the Soul t-shirt!”

“Give me a break, we both know that that’s the tamest band shirt in my wardrobe, besides the other t-shirts I wanted to wear were in the wash, so I had to make do.” I defended myself and Katie grinned before we went up to the counter to pay for the CDs that we had picked up, the store clerk rung up the total and I paid from my CDs in cash whilst Katie used her card to pay for hers and as soon as that was done we headed out of the store. “So, where next? I know you want to give the CDs a listen in the car so I’m all ears.”

“I’m not sure, I guess I’ll just play it by ear.” Katie shrugged her shoulders in response before she opened the car door and put the CDs in. “No pun intended off course, in the meantime, don’t you have a promo to do? If you want to do it in the car, that’s fine by me, just let me know if the CDs are too loud and I’ll turn down the volume.” Katie added before we and the cameraman hopped in the car, Katie started driving off to god knows where and I took the opportunity to do my promo.

“Three days ago, I made good on my promise and became the new SCW Roulette Champion!” I said as I patted my newly won belt which I had been wearing around my waist this whole time. “And since then, I’ve been hearing the same thing, I’m only champion because Jon Dough kept getting distracted by Ty West, first off, if Jon is that easily distracted then its no wonder he needed the Golden Briefcase to win the title in the first place! Second, at Into the Void I’m getting the chance to shut up the haters and prove that I am not a fluke champion in my first title defense as Jon Dough and Ty West challenge me for the title in the opening match!”

And I’m starting with the former champion.

“Funny how you’ve been so quiet since I beat you for the gold last Sunday, huh Jon? There you were, saying how you did it so you could get a shot at Ben Jordan who clearly has better things to do than waste his time with you, like producing the most boring t-shirts ever! I mean seriously, who takes a Twitter hashtag invented to keep him relevant and puts it on a t-shirt? Would it have killed him to just put Ben Deserves Better on a t-shirt without the hashtag? Anyway, it didn’t take me long to dash those hopes of yours, did I?”

Nope, it didn’t.

“With or without Ty’s help I would’ve won that match and the title, the fact that you are so easily distracted by a wrestler in the crowd was just the icing on an old cake! If you couldn’t handle me in a one on one match with Ty distracting you from the crowd, then how are you supposed to handle both me and Ty at the same time, in the same match? I already know the answer to that question and there’s a good chance that you’re not going to like it Jon: not well at all!”

But what else is new?

“Whilst I was watching Ty’s promo earlier this week there was one thing I agreed with him on, the rest I’ll get to in a bit, and that’s that your over the hill and past it, last week on Climax Control I said that if you were a real man you would’ve cashed in your briefcase at the beginning of the match and fought alongside the rest of us but after wrestling you one on one I’ve come to realize that the only reason you didn’t do that was because you knew that you were going to be outclassed by five younger guys and Chris Crippler and at Into the Void VII you’ll be outclassed yet again by me and the next guy on the chopping block!”

That’s right, Ty’s next!

“Did you think I forgot about you Ty? Kind of impossible for me to do really, everyone’s been saying that I owe my title reign to you ever since I won the title from Jon Dough but that’s beside the point, you know, I can’t help but find it hilarious how pretty boy wrestler number 69,122 is accusing me of being unoriginal because I basically said the same thing about Jon’s alter egos, first off Ty, there’s no such thing as an original idea, don’t believe me? Go ask Hollywood! And second? I didn’t need you help to beat Jon on Sunday.”

Despite what everyone else is saying to the contrary.

“If anything, Jon needed your help more than I needed yours! Or did you not notice how he kept cheating to keep the upper hand? And to answer your point about me being a hypocrite if I’m happy about my win despite it being tainted and everything I said about Jon Dough’s win a couple of weeks ago, I would be if the circumstances were the same but they’re not, you never got directly involved in my match against Jon instead leading a bunch of chants and even doing the wave, if that’s your idea of interference then I think you need to stop looking at yourself in the mirror and start looking up the word interference in a dictionary! Hell, I’ll even send you a copy of the Oxford English Dictionary once I’m back in Vegas!”

But back to my point.

“At the end of the day Ty we’re both young, hungry competitors eager to make a name for themselves, only difference? I’m holding the gold and I would be if you hadn’t interfered at all but I would be lying if I said that I didn’t understand why as we both have a common enemy in Jon Dough but come Into the Void any potential alliance we had over our mutual hatred on Jon is going out the window and it’s every man for themselves but at the end of the day I’m walking out of Into the Void the Roulette Champion!”

And with that I decided to wrap things up.

“Was my win tainted? That’s up for debate but what isn’t up for debate is that in two weeks’ time it’ll but put up or shut up time for me and my title reign as I head into my first defense and once my initial burst of excitement with my thoughts going “holy shit!!!!” over and over has worn off I’ll be all business in that ring as I set out to prove why I’m a worthy champion, as for Jon Dough and Ty West, they had better brace themselves because there’s a storm brewing otherwise they’ll get blown away by the reigning SCW Roulette Champion “The Metal Storm” Caleb Storms!”

Katie pulled up to drop off the cameraman at the airport as the scene fades.

 On Camera
Climax Control 205

Jon Dough leaves the ring and walks up the rampway. The fans could be cheering or booing, Jon Dough cannot tell the difference as he just lost his Roulette Championship. Everything he hoped to accomplish was put to a halt before it can start. The title length was short, very short. He sees everything in slow motion as he walks the ramp way that seems to never end.

Jon walks the ramp shocked and in disbelieve. The camera can pick up a very disappointed face, something he can’t hide even though the mask. Jon finally reaches the curtain after what seems to be a forever of a walk…

Off Camera

Jon Dough quickly changes to his normal look now that he walks to the gorilla position.  Jon walks past Mark Ward, Christian Underwood, Pussy Willow, Stoner Scott, and other personal like the company agents and producers.

Someone says…

“Good match Matt Spears!”

Jon says back as he keeps walking refusing to top and or turn around to make eye contact.

Jon Dough:  Just doing what I get paid to do!

“Smartass”

Jon keeps walking as he says to himself.

Jon Dough:  Oh trust me, you don’t want me to be a smartass, it’s how I won my championships after all.

Jon says as he turns to his right and winks at the off[/COLOR] camera, camera. Jon turns to his left to look straight again and gets started as now Song stands just 3 feet from him.

Jon Dough:  Holy hell Song, you and your ninja steps.

Song: What are you doing? Just wondering you know.

Song asks as she raises her left eyebrow.

Jon Dough:  The camera is off. You can drop the you know shtick. But I’m going to the locker room to get my bag and head to the hotel.  

Song: No, I mean right now, right just there?

Jon Dough:  Oh nothing.

Song: You sure the camera is not on?

Jon Dough:  Yes, I’m sure, but, is the camera ever really off?

Song’s eyes lights up in joy.

Song: Are you going to 4th wal…

Jon cuts her off

Jon Dough:  Shh!!! We don’t talk like that.

Song: Oh yeah, I meant, are you about to break the glass ceil…

Jon cuts Song off again.

Jon Dough:  Shh!!! We don’t talk like that.

Song: Oh right, right… So um, I, well…

Jon cuts Song off for a third time.

Jon Dough:  If you promise not to go overboard you can be a part of it all.

Song yells with excitement.

Song: YES!!! Let’s do it!

Jon Dough:  Shh!!


Everyone turns to look at the two as they start walking away. They hear a chair squeak as if someone from the gorilla position has jolted off their chair.

Song: Sorry.

Song says in a low tone of voice. The two walk towards the locker rooms so that Jon can get his belongings.

Jon Dough:  We can’t give them any hints or that bitch over there will bitch and moan to put a stop to it.

Jon says as he points towards, the gorilla position.

Song: Which one?

Jon Dough:  What do you mean which one… Oh I see, No not Pussy Willow. What’s the deal with you two anyways, why don’t you like Pussy Willow?

Song: It’s not that I don’t like her, I don’t know her but who is she to judge us wrestlers to the point that she feels she should only be talking to some and not all. Main event or not she should be willing to speak to everyone.

Jon Dough:  you do realize she probably would be wanting to talk to anyone especially now since the company is still trying to figure out who is Main Event and who is not.

Song: She is still useless unlike Stoner who is the best in the company.

The two reach the locker room, Jon walks inside as Song waits at the door. Song waits a few minutes, while waiting she gets a phone call. She takes the call as Matt Spears comes out the locker room with his bags.

Matt Spears:  You ready?

Matt asks Song as she puts a pinger up to signal for Matt to wait. Matt leans on the wall as he waits for Song to finish. Song speaks in Cantonese while nodding, Matt looks on wondering what is going on as Matt can tell it’s someone from the dojo.

Matt stops leaning on the wall as Song waves at Matt to walk with her. Matt walks with his duffle bag in his left hand ashe stays a few steps behind Song. they walk the long hallway towards the back doors for the wrestlers use use to get in and out the building.

Song turns around and sees Matt alone, she whistles at the camera man with the off camera on his hand. Song waves for him to come as well. Matt sees this and questions her.

Matt Spears:  What’s going on?

Song: Oh, um, Jon said I can be apart of his promo.

Matt Spears:  So why is he coming with us?

Song: Jon agreed to allow me to be part of his um, promo.

Matt knowing how Song and Jon can be shakes his head.

Matt Spears:  No, the deal was none of those 4th wa…

Song: Shh! We don’t talk like that.

Song gets back to her phone call.

Matt Spears:  Damn it Song!

Song hands the phone over to Matt.

Song: She wants to talk to you.

Matt grabs the phone not knowing who it is.

Matt Spears:  Hello!?

Matt listens to the reply.

Matt Spears:  Oh hello Lin Tin Lu.

Song: Why can’t you just say Master Lilly?

Song asks as he brushes her off listening to Lin Ting Lu.

Matt Spears:  I agree with you 100% but for that to really work you will have to find something for Song to do.  

Song smiles as she shakes her head as she is not going anywhere, she has been waiting for this.

Matt Spears:  Well I was going to head to the hotel, are you sure it can’t wait. You know Jon didn’t win tonight so there is nothing to celebrate, why go to China?

Song raises her left eyebrow at Matt as she gets closer trying to listen in on the call. Song pulls the cameraman with the turned off camera in to listen in as well.

Master Lilly: This is something beyond wrestling. I am not requesting you come to China, I am telling you I need you to fly here right away. [/COLOR]

Song leans back confused as this is not a tone of voice she is used to hearing from Master Lilly.

Matt Spears:  Okay, you have the plane ready for us?

Song looks at the camera man who just shrugs at her not knowing what else to do.

Matt Spears:  Okay, we’re on are way, goodbye.

Matt hangs up the phone and hands it back to Song.

Song: What’s going on?

Matt Spears:  We’re going to China.

Song: You mean we right?

Song says as she points and herself, Matt and the cameraman. The cameraman takes a step back looking lost.

Matt Spears:  No, You me, Alana, Blasted Monk and Orchid.

Song: And the camera… what Monk, Alana and Orchid?

Matt Spears:  Well Monk is there already…

Song: That can’t be, I was just with him yesterday before I took the plane to Chicago to go get you.

Matt Spears:  Will I’m just telling you what she said.

Song turns to look at the cameraman.

Song: Hey, you coming with us?

Cameraman: They don’t pay me for that and won’t cover that cost.

Song: Oh, I see. Okay then, let me try this again.

Song smiles at the cameraman.

Song: We have a plane, I will have Master Wong pay you for your time, going to China is a lot of travel time so I will make sure it is worth it for you. You will even get a day to yourself to explore my wonderful city of Foshan, the real Foshan, not what you see here when we show you all the dojo.

Cameraman: You sure I will get paid for this?

Song: Yes I am sure, I will pay you myself if I have to. $5,000 for everything, your time traveling back and forth with us and when you actually turn the camera on for my…

Song cracks her knuckles

Song: For the beautiful work I will be giving the SCW smartmarks to jizz to.

Cameraman: We are talking US Dollar and not Yen’s right?

Song looks at Matt.

Song: I like this guy.

Song looks at the cameraman

Song: What the fuck do you think stupid?

Matt Spears:  Song knows Yen’s will do you no good. You walked in to that one.

Song: So what’s the plan, Matt?

Matt Spears:  We have a chopper here waiting for us to fly us to the Hanger, Master Wong has a plane waiting for us.

Song: But I had one of the planes, why can’t we just take that one.

Matt Spears:  That one left to go get Alana.

Song: And Orchid?

Matt Spears:  With the plane waiting for us at the hanger.

Song: What the hell is going on?

Matt Spears:  That’s what I didn’t get for her.

Song: Okay.

Song looks at the cameraman

Song: So you coming?

Cameraman: Sure but I need to get my stuff from my hotel room.

Song: Sounds like we have no time. Just extend your stay and I will cover the charge, you have my word you know.

Song says working the cameraman.

Cameraman: The hotel is just across the street from here though.

Song: Well then hurry up, why you waiting around for. We will meet you outside.

Song turns to looks at Matt

Song: Why don’t you have a room across the street?

Matt Spears:  Why does it matter, I have everything I came with in this bag?

Song, Matt and the cameraman walk outside.

Cameraman: Just give me 10 minutes and I’ll be ready.

15 Minutes Later

The Cameraman returns with a large suitcase on one hand and his camera on the other.

Song: You ready?

Song asks the cameraman as Matt opens the trunk for him to throw his bag inside.

Cameraman: Yess I am.  

The camera puts the camera in the trunk.

Song: No, you keep the camera with you sir.

Cameraman: It’s about to die, I need to recharge the battery.

Matt closes the trunk


[/COLOR] [/COLOR] [/COLOR]

About 20 minutes later

We see the cameraman holding his luggage in one hand and a camera in the other. Matt has his duffle bag on his left hand Song opens up back door behind the driver seat and pull out her book bag. The three start walking towards the plane in which they can see orchid hanging out a few feet away as she talks to one of the pilots.

As they walk towards orchid, Orchid turns around with a smile and runs towards Song and Matt Spears. Orchid bows at them before speaking.

Orchid: You guys ready?

Song: Yes.

Matt Spears:  Sure, but do you know why where going to China?

Orchid: No but do we need reason?

Matt Spears:  Maybe you don't need a reason but for me to get told that I'm needed over there, tells me there must be a reason.

Orchid: Well if there is a reason I know nothing about it Matt, sorry.

Matt smiles at Orchid and nods as he knows Orchid is telling him the truth.

Matt Spears:  It’s okay, Orchid.

Orchid: Well, come on, least get your bags in the plane and lets go.

Orchid turns around to face the same direction as the rest of them. They all start walking towards the plane. Song talks to the same pilot Orchid was talking to as seen before as Matt and the cameraman board the plane.

Matt Spears:  Now cameraman, make yourself at home, were in for a long flight.

Cameraman: Is there somewhere I can charge up the battery?

Matt Spears:  Orchid! We need an outlet. Where is one at?The cameraman needs to charge his camera battery.

Orchid: Come over to the mini bar I see one open to use.

The cameraman gathers his equipment and walks over towards the minibar. He places the battery on his charger and then plugs it in out to the outlet that's sits just below the mini bar.

Song and the pilot finally board the plane after about 3 minutes. The Pilot it lets them know that I'll be about 5 more minutes as the co[/COLOR] pilot has just arrived to the hanger and it will take a few few minutes for him to get cleared and be able to take off.

Orchid: Okay.

Matt Spears:  So cameraman, want a drink?

Cameraman: You got a beer?

Orchid: Hell No.

Orchid says in her version of a American Redneck from the south. Song, Jon, and the Cameraman all say at the same time. “No!?” [/COLOR]

Orchid: No we don’t have A beer, we have a case of beer so drink up boy!

Orchid says, again in her version of a American Redneck from the south. Song goes over to the mini bar and opens up the cooler. She takes out two beers and hands one to the cameraman and one to Matt.

Song then pulls out a bottle of wine and shows it to Orchid. Orchid signals just one glass as Orchid really does not feel like drinking but doesn’t want to feel like the odd one by not drinking.

Song pours one glass for Orchid. As she starts pouring herself a glass of wine, the co pilot boards the plane. The four of them says hi as he says hello back and head straight to the cockpit where the main pilot is waiting for him so that they can take off.

Song leaves the mini bar with her glass of wine as she an orchid take a seat next to each other as they takes the two seats facing the bar. Matt and the cameraman also go to take a seat as they sit next to each other across from Song and orchid allowing the four of them too faced each other.

The co[/COLOR] pilot get on the intercom and let some know they are about to take off sort of that way everyone can make sure they're in their seats and put seatbelts on for their safety.

Once in the air Song raises her wine glass up.

Song: Cheers!

The rest do the same as they all then take a drink.

As they quietly the cameraman can't help but break the silence has he begins asking a few questions.

Cameraman: So doesn't all of this traveling back and forth to China take a toll on you after a while? I mean the jet lag alone is got to be rough.

Matt Spears:  This is my first time going to China in about a year.

Orchid: I tend to just sleep the whole way there. When you get tried, these seats recline all the way back to make single beds.

Cameraman: Oh nice!

Song: I moved to L.A. about 2 years ago, I travel to China often but not like before. It’s not so bad when you are used to it I guess.

Cameraman: Have you ever been so jet lagged that it ended up showing in your performance in the ring after a long flight like this?

Song: Not me, I always made sure to arrive at least 24 hours before the bosses what us to report to the building too make sure I’m adjusted.

Orchid: I have, funny enough it was only when I was in tag team matches so it was so obvious.

Cameraman: How was it when you call first won championships?

Matt Spears:  I wouldn’t know, Jon screwed me over and took my briefcase.

Song: It was cool, I mean, it meant a lot that SCW would trust me to be the tag team champion with Alana but I really wish they would had gave it to Orchid and I when we fought Vixen and Misty. The titles were at their peak and seeing how they just went hot phato with the titles back then with injuries and one retiring. I feel like they should have gave the titles to a tag team that was built just for tag team matches, not to a pair of super great singles stars that really didn’t care for the titles.

Orchid: as proud as I am to being the longest ever LAW Breakout Champion,  I would have to admit that I would take all of that back just free chance to have been the SCW Tag Team Champions with Song even if it would have been just for one day.

Don't get me wrong, I was proud to be the champion, I was proud to represent the company for that long. Song and I however had always talked about, have always dreamed about being Champions together it would have meant so much more in a personal point of view for myself. Professionally I am happy that law trusted me the way they did to represent them for as long as I was able to.

Cameraman: Now Matt help me understand this because I have been curious for a while and I can't think of a better time to ask but now since I'm going to be with you guys for the next few days. Matt you said you don't know how it feels to be Champion but Jon has been. So what is the difference between Matt and Jon other then a green mask.

Matt Spears:  Well I don't know if I'll be able to explain this correctly but here goes. The dojo named me Jon Dough after they found me in the forest Left 4 Dead. I was in a coma for months after waking up I had no memory of anything. the only thing I was able to remember was how to fight and how to spot trouble however I cannot explain how and why I knew this.

I started wrestling as a way to pay the dojo back even though they didn’t want my money. After I insisted that they take some money I was able to pay them back with just a few matches. I left the company I was with back then. I then went back to China trying to figure out what exactly am I going to do as I was a man with no plans. I cannot begin to explain to you what it feels like do not remember your past, not knowing who you are, where you belong, if you even have anyone looking for you.

I tried to go back to that old company but right away was remembered as to why I have not. I spoke with someone there who happened to work at a SCW and they told me about the company and as far as wrestling goes the rest is history because you've been here since I started.

As you can probably remember when we were in Norway I was arrested for being in the country. My arrest in the band of me not allowed in Norway has everything to do with the past in which at the time I had no memory of. While I was detained during that year I gained my memory back, while something are still blurry I remembered who I was where I am from and what led to this whole thing.

somehow when my memories all came back to me Jon Dough between a voice in my head. I started to go crazy figuring out why I had a voice in my head all of a sudden. I soon realized that it is more than just a voice in my head as he has the ability 2 take control of my body to the point where I Matt Spears will be in a comatose state.

The two of us have come to a agreement and which I get to be me and not be bothered with this voice in my head, the exchanges I let him perform as the wrestler and he lets me live a normal life the best ways possible giving my circumstances.

Cameraman: Everyone says that it is just an alter ego.

Matt Spears:  Which is fine for me, I have no problem letting people sell it that way and I have no problem selling at that way it's just easier that way.

Cameraman: So when the company talks to you about anything are they talking to you or Jon?

Matt Spears:  That depends, if the camera are rolling then of course they are dealing with Jon. It were in private then it depends if the mask is on or not. If not then it’s me but Jon is always alert and listening. If the mask is on it is just Jon and I’m in sleep mode. As fucked up as that sounds.

Cameraman: Well, that is a bit to take in and hard to believe but I can believe it as I can see how such a thing is possible, maybe. I think another beer or two or 5 will help.

Matt Spears:  I can go for another beer. Let’s go to the mini bar.

The two men get up as Song and Orchid sit back zipping on there wine. They walk over to the mini bar, Matt sees the battery on the camera being charged.

Matt Spears:  Where the camera?

Cameraman: Over there on the table being held down by a bungee cord to help keep it in place.

Matt Spears:  No battery?

Cameraman: Of course it has one, fully charged, I just told Song tha so I didn’t have to hold it on the car ride.

Matt Spears:  Wait, turned on?

Cameraman: No, I have it off, well you know what I mean.

Matt opens the cooler and takes out two beers. HE opens them both and hands one to the cameraman.

Cameraman: So since you weren't able to win a title how did it feel winning the briefcase?

Matt Spears:   to be quite honest with you, he really didn't matter to me. At the end of the day I'm just doing my job at least that's how I used to be John does it all now… What about you, you work as a cameraman but did you ever think about getting in the ring?

Cameraman: I always wanted to  but I suffered a career ending injury in my sophomore year of college football that I can never do any physical activity Of that nature again.

Matt Spear: That sucks, sorry to hear that. [/COLOR]

Cameraman: Yes it does but I love what I do and I’m happy so it all worked out at the end for me.

Matt Spears:   I like that, that's a good attitude to have.

Cameraman: Agreed.

The to tap their beer together as a toast before taking a swig. Matt turns and sees that Song and Orchid have reclined their chairs all the way back. Matt then excuses himself to head back to them. He takes a sheet and expands at 2 cover the 2 to give them a bit more privacy and to help block the lights around.

Matt heads back to the mini bar to continue chatting with the cameraman.

Matt Spears:   So were you filming at ringside during the main event match?

Cameraman: yes, I was the one that walked up the ramp with John and walk with him towards the backstage area before turning off the camera.

Matt Spears:   So tell me, how was it, how was the match?

Cameraman: it was a great match for what it was, so you really going to sleep mode during the match?

Matt Spears:  Yes, I knew what was supposed to happen and everything but I am not conscious when everything's happening life so I don't get to see it until I watch the replay myself.  trust me there's nothing more trippy watching the match your body was just involved in but have no idea what happened.

Seeing how there's nothing I can do about it I just look at it the best way I can and I get to see your match for the first time every time and it's always myself in that match. It's kind of cool and unique in that regard but that is just me looking at it with the most positive attitude that I can think of.

but it would be cool if I can actually experience the match when it's happening live.

Cameraman: Then  Why not return back to the ring as yourself?

Matt Spears:  because even though I do not know what happens in the match, once it is over and I take over again trust me when I tell you I can feel it,  I can feel my body sore the next day I'm not sure if John can as well.

Cameraman: so even though you have yet to see the match what did you think about the match when you were told how it was going to go?

Matt Spears:  I and indifferent about it as it makes no difference to me what they want done. How John feels I do not know as I am yet to speak with him. I can assure you he may be a bit upset.

Camerama:  and to be clear John can come and go At any time?

Matt Spears:  Yes, did you want to speak to him?

Cameraman: Sure.

Matt Spears:  With or without the mask?

Cameraman: Without is fine

Jon Dough:  What! Not a fan of my mask?

Cameraman: Is it Jon?

Jon Dough:  Yes sir.

Cameraman: That was fast. So sorry about tonight’s loss but I seen you get a rematch at Into The Void, I’m sure you can’t wait for that match huh?

Jon Dough:  It's set up for Ty to win it, They should have booked me against Ben Jordan as he agreed to a match title or not so I could have been in a one on one match with him wow Ty takes the title from Caleb.

Cameraman: Yes, I seen Ben agreed, I thought you would be facing Ben defending your title.

Jon Dough:  Some don’t believe in great bookings, they just go with okay bookings.

Cameraman: That’s a bit harsh

Jon Dough:  Hey, the triple threat will be good but Ty vs Caleb and Jon vs Ben would have been a lot better on the card.

Cameraman: What about your rematch?

Jon Dough:  Why should I get a rematch to a title I was not able to defend it once, plus they have went with not giving others a rematch. Instead of having two great matches they have me in this match to get Ty over. Wait, you sure that camera is not on right? I don’t mind giving the smartmarks what they want but not in such detail.

Cameraman: The camera is off don’t worry.

Jon Dough:  Okay, just making sure. I don’t want anyone all butthurt for exposing the business to the ones who think wrestling is real. Not yet anyways, Song is sleeping.

Cameraman:  Personally I think you are looking at it wrong. I mean sure I understand your logic of how they might be going about this match but there is a possibility that you win this match and then you and Ben Jordan go on to have that roulette championship match.

Jon Dough:   Wow, that is so very wishful thinking. Sure it would work out in the long run for a good story but that is not how things go at times.

Cameraman: well I understand what you're trying to say but I think the triple threat match was a great booking. I think you 3 opening the show would be a great way to start this pay per view.

Jon Dough:  I'm not going to say that it's not great booking, I just call it a good booking because the one on one match between those two and the one on one match between Ben Jordan and myself would have been better is all I'm saying but I guess that's neither here or there as the match-ups are final.

Every match that is booked for this card will be a good match I will not take anything away from any of the matches but I know what could have been better.

Cameraman:  well hey don't tell me that why don't you explain it to the fans I mean I have the camera right over there with a battery ready to go all I gotta do is hit record.

Jon Dough:  But Song is sleeping. I told her she can be in it.

Cameraman: Do you really need her to help plug your match or to push some buttons?

Jon Dough:  Well I don't need her for anything but I know how much she wants to be apart of it. She goes out of her way to be all nice that when she is able to say fuck it then she she's all in and makes for a entertaining time.

Cameraman: Well, we will be here for a while so how about a little something without her in which you plug the match before the two of you get together and start shitting on everything.

Jon Dough:  Well okay, but we can’t wake up Song or she will kill us both.

Cameraman: We won’t be any louder then what we already are.

Jon nods and finishes his beer as the cameraman drinks his while walking over to his camera. The cameraman removes the camera from the bungee cord so he can hold on to it instead.

Jon Dough:  Wait, I can’t do it without my mask.

Jon goes to his duffle bag to get his mask out and puts it on.

Jon Dough:  Okay, I’m ready

On camera

The scene opens up inside of a dim lit luxury airplane as we see John Dough wearing a black shirt with yellow letters that spell out SCW. He stands behind a mini bar with a bottle of RC to the left and A RC logo to the right.

Jon Dough:  well as everybody knows I am no longer the champion. So now everybody who got their feelings hurt when I cashed in the briefcase can all breathe easy and I'll find something else to talk about. Outside of Ty, as plenty of what happened tonight with set up perfectly for him to talk about. It was as if, wait never mind.

The match was a good one just as I said as it was going to be. Before I lost the title Ben Jordan announced that he will indeed face me in a one on one match for the title or in a non title match it did not matter. He just looks forward to getting in the ring with me. Unlike what others want you to believe, there is no jumping on his bandwagon.

You see, some would rather jump to conclusions then to go back and watch all the episodes of the company they work for as they will see that there is history between the two of us. While others will go out of their way to try to be clever and talk about how garbage I am and how great he is clearly don't remember when he was the Tag Team Champions and lost the title to me so everybody can see how great he is and how garbage I am but then you look at that match and figure something there doesn't make sense.

And it never really make sense to me how others will try to go out of their way to bad mouth an opponent because if you lose what does that say about you and if you win what did you really accomplish. Yes, that may be a cliche in this industry but it holds true rather others want to admit that or not.

The match I had earlier today before I had to fly out to China for some thing I'm not sure yet as Master Lily has yet to explain why I'm heading over there. The match was a great main event, and now the next show here I am opening the card.

Now earlier today you all heard me when I was saying that there's nothing wrong with opening a show. You set the bar for everybody else, now I get to prove just that with two up and coming rookies that are clearly hungry for gold, hungry to get their careers started on the right path. And found it since they're now in a match with a former roulette Champion / former 3 time tag team champion. So yes being in a match with me is a big deal rather they want to look at it or not.

Caleb who is supposed to be someone people cheerful couldn't wait to Glow the he won the match to the point that once the show aired live within 50 minutes he already tweeted that he is the new roulette Champion only when he did that we were still in the third match of the card. Our match hadn't even started yet but he just couldn't wait, he had a throw out of spoiler for everybody to see.

Then went on to want to crack a few jokes at my expense but wasn't man enough to tag me in those tweets. The lack of respect he has lets me know he won't make it far in this business in a respectable way he will just be like the rest that he shares his Twitter account with nothing but jokes who people get title matches to as easy defenses for everybody else. Are they good at winning titles sure they're also good at losing them just as soon as they want. History will show that if you go back and watch them last 6 years where of film. Caleb will just be the recent person to be in that list.

Don’t get me wrong we all lose matches not one of us is perfect however I can congratulate my opponent when he beats me just as much as I can also congratulate them for a good match when I come up Victorious.

Did my appointment do that?

Of course not that would have been to respectable and wouldn't make too much sense for somebody who comes off as someone that supposed to be cheered. Instead he came off as a typical person that prefers to be booed somebody who wants to act like his opponent wasn't worth his time which is sad see how he will lose the title just as fast as I did.

The difference would be that, he will cry for a rematch while I was ready to move on and to the match that was agreed upon between Ben Jordan and myself. You see title shots come and go something that a rookie like him will soon find out even with all of the complaining he'll be doing to be put in these matches. I see him having more title matches and anybody else in the company by the end of this year and I guarantee you he would have asked for about half of them while the rest of us just sit back and let the bosses but the matches how they feel they should be booked.

I know Ty has been the loudest, he has made it clear how he feels about me and this whole situation. To that I applaud him and thank him, you see he at least can acknowledge the situation and what's been going on and address it in a way that makes sense.

He has himself in that position in this company in which he says what he wants when he wants and doesn't care how the fans feel and because of this he doesn't well. Now if Caleb came to this company under the same pretenses then I wouldn't be looking at Caleb the way I do. Clearly one man in his match is confused while the other one knows exactly how to go about his way in the business.

I can see why a guy like him is looked at as the favorite to win this match. He as well as Caleb have the capability of being a champion only one is going to rely on his scale while the other one is going to rely on his begging skills. As for me I'm in this match solely because I guess that was their way of giving me a rematch.

Now this rematch will not be anything near the same type of match I was in what I was defending the roulette title. You see it's clear that no one wanted me to be the champion and somebody who makes decisions really feels that way. Why else would I had to defend the roulette title and a standard match not under roulette rules. You see someone back there knew that had it been roulette rules the results of this match would be different.

Let's look at history here, I've won the roulette title by climbing a ladder, I want my first to tag team titles by climbing a ladder, I won my third tag team title with the use of a steel chair. Clearly I am more of a hardcore kind of a wrestler then a standard wrestling match type of a competitor. I've been in plenty of standard matches but it's the hardcore ones in which I tend to stand out so it would make sense for somebody back there to make sure I don't defend a hardcore type of a title under hardcore rules.

Of course knowing where I stand with this company I just nodded my head and said okay because it was not much more I can do. However if any fan what a bother asking the owners into why the ruler title was not offended appropriately they're not going to provide you a logical answer.

But you see I'm okay with that, they wanted to throw me in a match they felt they felt will give the best odds to somebody else to beat me. Of course now that I made that public I guarantee you the triple threat match will be contested under roulette rules the way my match should have been.

I mean it was only right that they treated me that way after all I'm part of the same group that Orchid is a part of you know the only wrestler in the history of this company to lose a match against Evie Banng which then allowed for Lord Raab to become the Internet Champion.

Yes for those that forgot a woman got pinned by another woman to Crown a man a champion and of course the victim of that is somebody from my stable so no it does not Shock me that something like this what happened to me and my first roulette title defense. Clearly somebody who makes decisions there it's not in favor of the stable that I represent but yet they still keep me around which makes no sense. It would be a lot easier for them to not resign me so they don't have to be bothered. But hey I'll keep getting paid to do what I love to do while the fans still get up to cheer for The Elders.

Because at the end of the day while other sit here and cry about a title match, cry about how someone cashes in the briefcase, cry about how I am asking somebody I have history with for a match in which they agreed to have. You all keep doing that why I keep help you put asses and seats because there are fans out there that don't care if I win or lose they just like to see what I can do in the ring which then makes my opponent a must-see Superstar because it takes two to tango, so I helped Elevate those who get in the ring with me regardless of the outcome because the fans get to watch them seeing how they're there to really watch me.

And if you think I'm lying then explain the Big Pop I received when I sat there and did exactly what some of you guys have cried about. I cashed in the briefcase and the way that a ”bad guy” would have done it but yet I ain't got cheer there's a reason for that clearly I want the one they wanted to see become the champion + let's face it there was also a shock value because no one saw it coming so of course it was going to get a pop so I know that helped the situation but anybody else would have got booed right away.

Now you guys can go ahead and try to find a way to spend that but the facts are facts so good luck with that.

That said I do owe an apology to my fans who felt the day got screwed when I lost my title a few hours ago. Look guys don't be upset it's not the end of the world, sure they made me not defend the title the correct way, sure that also irritates those who are not my fan but or fan of the roulette division but those things are out of my control.

All I can do is move forward and I hope that you all can too, feel free to bug the owners with why they did it this way but understand they're not going to give you an answer, they're not going to respond to none of you guys because they're going to claim they're busy but the reality is they have no reason to tell you guys why because there is no reason why. It's just one of those it is what it is and you just have to deal with it just like I did but in two weeks time you guys will get the match you guys wanted all along a roulette title match under roulette rules until then let's just sit back and relax as I prepare for this match.  

Off Camera

Jon Dough: We’re good?

Cameraman: Perfect.

Jon Dough: Good because I am getting a bit tried and will like to crash.

Cameraman: Yeah man. That sounds like a good idea.

The two will go on to have two more beers before they get into their seats and recline them back and go to bed for the night.

 SCW RP 2 vs. Ty vs. Jon AKA “Old man yells at cloud!”

Into the Void VII was this weekend and Caleb’s first title match as champion was opening the show as he was taking on the former champion Jon Dough and the man who many claimed that Caleb would not be champion without his presence at ringside “Pretty” Ty West, the words between the three men have been fierce since the promo periods began but Caleb was riding a seemingly unstoppable wave of momentum as of late including a win over Honor Wrestling’s Kai Kitona at last week’s Showdown TV Show but can Caleb continue this streak and retain the title?

Century Cinedome, Las Vegas, Nevada
Wednesday the 23rd of May 2018, 18:00pm

My fiancé felt like I needed a break from all the training I’ve been doing for my title match this Sunday and I had been meaning to go see Deadpool 2 anyway, so it was a match made in heaven!

Besides, I’m riding high on a wave of momentum right now and I feel like I can’t be stopped! You already know about my recent title win on Climax Control 205, and I’m not here to discuss whether I would’ve won the title with or without Ty’s help because I went over that last week, and this past Wednesday I picked up another win, this time against Kai Kitona over at Honor Wrestling! Granted I’m facing an even bigger challenge next week on Showdown where I’m going one on one with Alex Jones but that’s not who I’m focused on right now!

And no, you don’t get any prizes for guessing who I’m focused on!

That’s right, its my first challengers for the SCW Roulette Championship “Pretty” Ty West and “so ugly he has to wear a mask” Jon Dough because that title match is this Sunday at Into the Void VII! We’ve all said our peace and I have already addressed Ty’s comments, as for Jon? I’m not even going to bother watching his promo because I just know what he’s going to say, in fact I could do an impersonation of what he’s going to say but I won’t so I’m just going to reference one of my favorite Simpsons jokes.

Old man yells at cloud!

Fits, doesn’t it?

“Man, that movie was so good!” I said to Katie as we walked out of the theatre, the film had just ended, and we were heading out of the theatre and to the car, however as I had promo time scheduled for 18:00pm and had told the SCW Cameracrew to meet us at the theatre for this time knowing that we were going to be at the movie theatre for 4:00pm and that the film had a two hour running time we had opted to not discuss the plot until after I did my trash talk, why? Because I don’t want death threats from nerds angry that I spoiled Deadpool 2, simple! “I can’t wait for Deadpool 3!”

“Caleb, I would point out that looking forward to a sequel already is tempting fate but considering how the MCU basically turned Comic Book Films into a license to print money I think it’s a safe bet that they’ll be a third installment!” Katie responded with a grin before kissing me on the cheek as we walked down the long hallway. “And now all that’s left is to wait for Captain Marvel to come out next year!”

“That movie has to follow on from the ending to Avengers Infinity War, all I’m saying is that I’m glad that I’m not the director for Captain Marvel.” I responded with a shudder and Katie quickly nodded in agreement. “Then again the same can be said for my match on Sunday, with all the drama going on with the Mixed Tag Team Division i would not want to follow that match up.”

“True enough, I’m definitely glad that I’m not in Cat Riley or Kira Phoenix’s shoes on Sunday.” Katie nodded in agreement before we reached the lobby. “So, what’s the plan? You want to do your promo in the car again?”

“And come off like a broken record? No thanks.” I responded as I shook my head before checking the time on my watch. “Besides, we’ve got plenty of promo time left!”

“Yeah but a promo that mostly consists of us driving around Vegas sounds like the most boring promo in the history of wrestling!” Katie pointed out and I quickly realized that she had a point there. “Anyway, before you make your mind up, what do you want to do now? Head back to the hotel for something to eat or get a meal out?”

“I don’t think we’ve had a meal out in a while, off course finding a place that isn’t booked up is the problem but even if we end up eating at a small eating establishment and not a five-star restaurant I’ll be sure to treat my fiancé.” I responded, and Katie grinned in response.

“Well in that case, I’ll see if I can get a table for two booked whilst you do your promo.” Katie responded as we headed out of the movie theatre and into the car park, once we reached the car Katie entered the passenger side and I sat on the boot of the car as I got ready to do my promo.

“It still feels just like yesterday that I won my first title in SCW and yet here I am, on week two of the Into the Void VII Supercard Period getting ready for my first defense of the SCW Roulette Championship against “Pretty” Ty West and the former champion Jon Dough in the Supercard’s opening match! Me and Ty have one goal in mind, aside from winning off course, heading into this match and that’s shutting Jon up! And as for Jon, as far as I’m concerned, he’s just an old man yelling at a cloud at this point.”

And once again I’m starting with Jon.

“Jon Dough AKA Matt Spears AKA the former Roulette Champion AKA Old Man Yells at Cloud, otherwise known as his Indian Name! And before you point out that you’re not much older than me or Ty Jon what I’m talking about is simple, you see me and Ty as two younger and better wrestlers trying to end your time in the spotlight and that’s been eating you up inside ever since the Six Man Ladder Match for the Roulette Championship was booked!”

And it all makes sense now.

“The truth is Jon, you didn’t cash in the Golden Briefcase because you wanted a title match against Ben Jordan, no, you cashed in the briefcase because you couldn’t stand the possibility of someone who’s been in SCW for a short time holding the gold before you and Ben Jordan’s temper tantrum provided the perfect excuse for you to cash in your briefcase! Except no one’s buying it! Not me, nor Ty, nor anyone else on the roster and the same goes for Ben himself because he clearly has better things to do!”

But what else is new!

“Once I get past my first defense, something you couldn’t do Jon, I will defend the Roulette Championship against any and all challengers, even guys from Honor Wrestling if the two companies work out some kind of arrangement and most importantly, I will let you sit back and seethe as I hold onto the belt for far longer than you could’ve! This Sunday at the Into the Void history will repeat itself as I will defeat you in a Roulette Title Match only with me walking in and out as champ!”

Next up is Ty!

“As I said early Ty, I’m not here to debate whether your help was needed or not, that dead horse has been beaten so many times these past two weeks that it no longer resembles a corpse, instead its just a pile of blood and guts, instead I’m going to focus on one thing going into this match and that’s how contrasting our styles are and how it will lead me to victory in my first title match! Don’t get the connection yet Ty? Don’t worry, you’ll get it soon!”

As in, right now!

“I’m a high flyer and you’re a brawler/submission expert and you can say that you will slow me down and force me to wrestle the match at your pace as opposed to mine but there’s just one problem with your idea, can you keep up with me in the ring? You’re not the only brawler or submission artist I’ve faced in my career Ty and I was always one step ahead of them from bell to bell until I scored the pin with either the Metal Storm or the Painkiller!”

And you will be no different!

“We’re both young and hungry guys looking to make their mark on the wrestling world, but I’ve already made my mark with my first title reign, sure people will say that I had your help to begin with, but what will the history books remember? They’ll remember that I retained the title against Jon Dough and Ty West at Into the Void VII and went on to have a longer, memorable reign whilst Jon’s reign is only remembered by a handful of people and those same people will remember you helping me out, and how I beat you at Into the Void VII!”

And with that I decided to wrap things up.

“Jon, Ty, we’ve all said our pieces, but I felt like there was more things for me to talk about, will you guys respond? Who knows but here’s one thing I do know, there’s only one way I’m walking out and that’s with the Roulette Championship whilst Jon and Ty had better brace themselves because there’s a storm brewing, otherwise they’ll be blown away by “The Metal Storm” Caleb Storms, your SCW Roulette Champion!”

I entered the car as the scene fades.

Red Roof Inn - Just West of the LV Strip
Monday, May 14, 2018

Ty sits in his car, parked in the lot adjacent the motel his father was staying at. He is still trying to build up the nerve to go. He may very well find the man cut up in pieces. He knew for sure that he would never again be able to eat red velvet cake (which was his favourite, thanks stupid bookie guy!)

His phone dings with notifications. People were viewing his vlog. It was a much higher view rate than the number of subscribers he had. He momentarily forgot the dire circumstance surrounding his current location. He smiled as he scrolled through all the encouraging comments left. But once he was done, he was once again weighed down by the fact that he might just be responsible for the death of his sperm donor.

With a heavy sigh, he exits the car, a green audi that was a few years old. Despite his lifestyle, he was actually quite thrifty.  In no time, he passes by the pool and notes that for a motel it was actually well maintained. A surprise for a seedy character such as Teddy Ricci. His father was on the ground floor. He knocks with two quick knuckle rakes before the peep hole darkens. The locks turns and the door opens.

The years had not been kind to the man standing in front of him. His skin was dry. Ty notices right away the large pores and yellowing of the skin around his eyes, an indication that there was some form of liver dysfunction. His blonde hair was more silver than gold and his eyes seemed to have dimmed to a dull grey rather than the identical sapphire his son used to share but it could have been the dim lighting inside the room. He gives Ty a tight lipped smile, obviously forced as Ty steps into the room.

Ty immediately looks at his father's hands to see the ring finger on his right hand is missing, confirming the one he had been delivered was indeed Teddy’s. The stub is black and he suddenly realizes they cauterized it with something hot to not only stop the bleeding but to prevent re-attachment.

Teddy: “I’m glad you came son.”

He closes the door. He then moves to a table in the room where a unlabelled decanter, half full with amber liquid, sits. He pours some into a paper cup.

Teddy: “You want a drink?”

Ty shakes his head. He was never much of a drinker.  Ty takes an envelope from his back pocket and throws it on one of the double beds.

Ty: “That is five thousand. Do with it whatever you want but this is the last time I will be helping you out. I have tried for years to find a way to bond with you but the only time you come around is when you need money. But I am done now. I will deny I know you if your bookie friends come around again. You know they broke into my apartment? The damage was into the thousands. I can't keep hanging onto this unreachable dream. I am done Ted.”

Ty turns to leave. Teddy doesn’t say a word. Ty gets all the way to his car, sliding into the driver's seat and resting his head on the steering wheel. After a few minutes, he  turns the key and is gone. He hoped this was it, but deep down he knew Ted would try again to extort money from him.

The West-Ward Blogicles
Season 2, Entry #5 -- “Endgame”

Ty: “This is the endgame for Caleb Storms & Jon-Matt. The thing is, Jon-Matt had the common sense to recognize it. Maybe it was a bit too Martyr-ish for my liking... but I will take his words to mean he is not even going to try to take back the title. It just proves what I said... he was never cut out to have the Roulette title. And I didn't even have to get him to the ring to defeat him. Who knew he would easily bend to the words of a rookie.”

Our hero and favourite to win this match, Ty West, is once again providing his fans with a view of his lovely face.

Ty: “Sorry bro, can’t respect a guy that won a title just to get the attention of someone better than him for a match, we all know he would lose in spectacular fashion. Would have been a match worthy of a piss break.”

The blonde hunk shrugs his shoulders.

Ty: “Maybe he should just lay down in the middle of the ring and let Caleb and I duke it out. Although I can’t honestly say that I think Caleb will be much of a challenge.”

Not much can be made out of the background as most of the camera view is blocked by his beautiful chiseled features.

Ty: “I gotta know though bruh... Why are you wasting money on ancient technology? No one buys CDs anymore. Everything is digital nowadays, but I guess we really can't expect much from a guy that signs off his promos like some cheesy cartoon superhero... then tries to condemn me for being an actor... Boy please...”

He adds a chuckle.

Ty: “But let's not dwell on what’s already been said. To be completely honest, I fast forwarded most of both my opponents promos since they were both the same boring shit they always produce. Caleb’s trying to pretend he’s something he’s not and Jon’s riding hard on Ben Jordan’s Gentleman’s Sausage. Blah.”

Ty closes his eyes and then feins snoring before pretending to wake abruptly.

Ty: “What? What I miss? Just the same old thing with a couple names changed here and there? Glad I didn't watch the whole thing! Would have been twenty minutes of my life I couldn't get back.”

There is a rolling of eyes. (Even when they are rolling they are still beautiful, don’t you think? Like two sapphire orbs on a bed of satin.)

Ty: “Neither of these guys brings anything new to the table. No wonder the fans are bored. One guy demanding title shots and winning via distraction. Distraction, not interference, as someone confused has suggested before. Remind me later to send out a thesaurus for those that don't know the difference... and make it Oxford instead of Webster’s. A cheap pretender... for a cheap pretender.”

He gives a wink. (Cue all of us swooning). He is obviously mocking Caleb with this and not just stealing his ideas like Caleb did to Ty in the past.

Ty: “While I am at it, let's talk about the difference between vanity and self-confidence. Vanity is when all someone does is admire themselves with no consideration for the skills and attributes of others. Self-confidence is recognizing your self-worth and owning it but still acknowledging that others have value-add.  I suppose that Caleb’s value-add would be that every class has a clown to add a little comedic relief between the good stuff. And Jon? Well I guess the world could always use an extra crash test dummy.”

He flashes the screen a smirk that turns up just the corners of his lips. As if he were trying to hold back how much he wanted to laugh at his own joke.

Ty: “Look, I’m not saying that I am perfect or anything. But, I have always owned up to the fact that I am arrogant in some ways... and I should be! I have more than a handful of reasons to be. The problems only come when you are in denial of these things. Then you deserve to be made an example of. Especially when someone ignorantly and blantlantly denies facts!”

He shakes his head.

Ty: "..and there is no better poster child for denial than Caleb Storms. He needed my help to carry the Roulette Championship to ‘Into The Void’. But hey, you know what man? If pretending you won that title on your own merit helps you sleep at night... so be it. At the end of that match, it will be me walking out with that gold. Denial is not just a river in Egypt!”

(Dad Jokes aside, he is pretty funny... and smart, and strong and oh so sexy.... *Coughing*)

Ty: “Caleb is almost too predictable. The most entertaining thing about him is waiting to see what lame location he is going to pop up in. I mean are those sketchy, hole-in-the-wall metal bars some kind of chain thing? I wasn’t even sure that shady record stores were still even a thing until he went through babbling about artists that nobody cares about except fifty year old cougars and guys trying to relive their glory days during the 80’s before they peaked and became useless. Overall, I guess it’s a fitting reflection of man trying to call himself a legitimate champion. I honestly think this guy is a glue sniffer who doesn’t realize he repeats himself and believes people actually still think this emo shtick is cool.”

The man takes a deep sigh of disappointment.

Ty: “I had hoped that when I won my first title it would be against someone who would land me a match a little further up the card then opener. I had a mental image of my name in lights across from a name that actually meant something. I wanted the Roulette Championship that meant something. Instead Sin City got stuck with a mediocre champion that I have to put out of our misery as soon as the show kicks off. I mean, what about the people who come later? They are going to miss me rolling this guy into a stormy pretzel, who incidentally has so much salt it makes you gag!”

He takes a swig from a water bottle.

Ty: “I just got dry mouth thinking about it.  I get it though, not everyone is naturally blessed with good genes such as yours truly. I don't fault him for his obvious jealousy and resentment. I trained for less than a year and I am in the same position he is after the years he struggled for recognition. Nature can be cruel, but that is why only the strongest survive. The ones with the ability to adapt and evolve into something better rise to the top while the others are unfortunate victims of natural selection.”

He gives a big pout. (O.M.G. swooning here!)

Ty: “I learned at a young age never to have doubt in myself. With the right attitude, you can do everything you want. Yeah, setbacks happen, but I never give up. I’m always pushing forward. Never complaining. Never being a martyr and best of all, owning my shit. I wasn't fast enough to get up that ladder first, but neither was Caleb. He thinks he’s going to just take down two opponents just as easily as his girlfriend slips it into him.”

(*Wide eyed stares of disbelief*)

Ty: “Come on, you were all thinking it, I just had the balls to say it.”

(No comments regarding Ty’s genitalia. *blushes*)

Ty: “Regardless of the outcome of this though, My career is only beginning and I know I have made an impact. One that has both the bosses looking in my direction. Titles don’t make people buy your merch and put their butts in seats. Plain old fashioned Charisma does that. Something I just so happen to have in abundance. But I do hope that Caleb learns something from our encounter as he makes his way back to his dom... I mean girlfriend... I hope he learns that little shits like him are meaningless to me and if he really wanted to try and dent my armour, he should have dug a little deeper than admitting that I am much prettier than he is. Sorry Cal, you are just not my type.”

He blows a kiss as the vlog comes to an end.

***OFF CAMERA***
Olympia Gym - Nevada
Monday, May 21, 2018

Ty is not practicing in the ring today, but rather sitting in Bliss’ office waiting for her to return. He had been waiting an hour when the door opened but it wasn't the blonde he was expecting walking in.

Even at thirty-five, Electra Styles looked gorgeous. Time had been her friend. When she sees Ty, she offers a smile.

Lexi: “Oh... I was hoping Kahlan was in...”

Ty stands. The woman was only four inches shorter than him and it kind of took him for a loop. He knew she was tall for a woman but he thought people were exaggerating that she could look up to meet his gaze.

Ty: “Nope. You must be Electra...”

He holds out his hand. She takes it.

Lexi: “And you are Ty West. Kah described you perfectly.”

A smile tips the corners of her lips.

Lexi: “Nice to finally meet you.”

Ty: “I hope everything she said was good...”

Electra shrugs.

Lexi: “More or less, but you know her, she can’t give a compliment without adding a insult somewhere.”

He knew that Lexi was Kahlan’s mother figure since her own mother had abandoned her only hours after birth. He didn't expect Kahlan to only offer a glowing review of him. In her eyes, he fucked up by not getting the roulette title the first time.

Ty: “True. I can tell her you stopped by...”

Lexi: “I can wait.”

She takes a seat opposite him and immediately crosses her long legs, one hanging over the knee of the other.

Lexi: “So I hear you are in a match for the roulette title this coming weekend. That is pretty exciting.”

Ty can’t help blushing. It wasn't based on attraction. When he met someone in a relationship he tried to turn off the part of his brain that viewed them as potential bed mates. Instead it was due to the fact that he had heard nothing but good things about this woman from many different people in the locker room, as well as from Bliss herself.

Ty: “I do and it is. I am not going to fail this time.”

Lexi nods and then takes the seat next to him.

Lexi: “From what I remember, the roulette title is a tricky one to not only capture but hold on to.”

Ty offers a shrug.

Ty: “Kris Ryans made it look easy.”

Electra smiles again.

Lexi: “A distant family member to Kahlan. Her sister is married to his brother.”

Ty seems shocked by this. He hadn't known this information before now.

Lexi: “And Kris’ wife is sister to Kahlan’s enemy.”

Ty is quick to answer.

Ty: “Violet Cooper?”

Lexi nods.

Lexi: “It’s a small world when it comes to this industry. Almost akin to interbreeding.”

She gives a little chuckle.

Lexi: “Wrestlers marry other wrestlers or relatives of other wrestlers. My husband was a wrestler too. Do me a favour though, don’t date your co-workers. It only leads to trouble.”

Ty’s hand tightens on his phone, knowing that his text screen was open to the woman who refused to acknowledge him.

Ty: “I don't mind a bit of trouble. Makes life interesting.”

Lexi shakes her head, smiling softly.

Lexi: “Already bitten by the bug, I take it?”

Ty: “I wouldn't go that far. It is completely one sided thus far. You would think I would take the hint.”

He sighs before locking his screen.

Lexi: “Just focus on the match. All the other stuff... well if it is meant to happen, it will.”

He nods, although he was still not convinced, nor did he understand why he felt so drawn to the woman who had refused to acknowledge his communication attempts.

The door opens and both look up as the petite, fiery blonde enters, not expecting to find anyone in her office, let alone one of her best friends.

Bliss: “Lex? What are you doing in Vegas?”

Electra stands, crossing the distance to hug her.

Lexi: “Ryan wanted to check out some indy places.”

Bliss raises an eyebrow.

Lexi: “Not for himself. He has been training some really great potentials in Toronto. Thought he might send them out into the wild to test them.”

Bliss finally notices Ty and shakes her head.

Bliss: “What were you doing in here?”

Ty is used to her harsh tone. One could even say the worse it was, the more she cared about you.

Ty: “You wanted to go over strategy? For sunday?”

Bliss: “Right... Right. Well can we raincheck until tomorrow?”

Ty nods and he is all but forgotten as the two friends start catching up. He slips out of the door and knocks straight into the rookie that is supposed to shadow him this week.

Effie: “Watch it, you turd.”

Ty: “About Sunday...”

She interrupts him by putting her finger on his lips.

Effie: “No one tells me what to do. I am not some first lady to your president. I do what I want, when I want. Got it?”

Ty nods against her finger.

Effie: “Good. Glad we got that clear. Let’s make this as painless as possible.”

She then turns and walks away. There seems to be a funny feeling in his stomach again. He was attracted to her but for the wrong reasons.

~END SCENE~

[Wong Fai Hung]

 Off Camera

A long trip to China part 2

A few hours pass as Matt Spears wakes up and sees the curtain still covering Song and Orchid, the cameraman is passed out on the chair next to were Matt was sleeping on. Matt goes to check the GPS on the plane to see where they are at when all of a sudden the plane starts to descend. Matt nods as that means they must be stopping to get gas which tells Matt that they arrived to Hawaii as that puts them halfway to China.

He goes back to his seat and buckles up to be safe. Just in time as seconds later the plane descends about 15% leaning downward. The safety light turn on to buckle up as the plane is just 90 seconds from landing.

Once landed, the safety light turns off and changes to a countdown of 40 minutes to take off.

Matt unbuckles and get up to head back to the mini bar for a bottled water. Matt turns around only to see Orchid now sitting at a store at the mini bar. This started Matt at first.

Matt Spears: Holy shit Orchid, you and Song with your damn ninja steps.

Orchid: hee-hee

Matt Spears: Water?

Orchid: Yes please, but put it in the coffer maker to make it hot so I can have some tea instead.

Matt turns around to get another bottle from the cooler, he sees the coffee maker to his left, he puts the water into the machine and hits the on button as it will do the rest of the work.

Orchid: So, Matt, sorry Jon lost tonight.

Matt turns to looks at Orchid, Matt places his left arm on the mini bar just inches away from were Orchid is sitting. Orchid looks deep into Matt eyes.

Orchid: Jon?

Jon Dough: Yes, I was just about to answer you but you all in my face girl.

Orchid: You leaned towards me Jon.

Jon Dough: Don’t be sorry because I lost the title. I did my job, the fans had a great time, nothing else matters.

Orchid: Jon,  you cashed in the golden briefcase in a way to secure your chance at being the champion. I know better, I know you did not want to lose it on your first title defense.

Jon Dough: Or hid, at the end of the day we doing were told by the boss nothing more so sure what I had like it of course. But at the end of the day That's not up to me. All I can do is follow the instructions that are given to me so that I can keep my job.

Orchid: Please stop that, you know I hate when you and Song get on that mood.

Jon Dough: What mood?

Orchid: Mode, not mood!

Jon Dough: Well, you side mood.

Orchid: No, I said mode, you just heard mood.

Jon Dough: Okay, if you say so Orchid.

Orchid:  you know what I am trying to say, now rebound from your loss and do what you do.

Jon Dough:  Oh trust me Orchid that's exactly what we plan on going.

Orchid: Who is we?

Jon Dough: Song and myself.

Orchid; No Jon, you better not, that's not what I meant!

Jon Dough: Hey, don’t worry Orchid, I know what I’m doing.

The coffee maker beeps to let them know the water is ready.

Orchid: Oh! Tea time!

Jon turns around, he grabs the coffee pot and turns back around almost dropping the pot when he jerks back after seeing Song sitting next to Orchid.

Jon Dough: Damn it Song!

Song: What, I want some tea.

Jon Dough: Not that, your damn ninja steps, warn someone when you walk into a room, gesh.

Song and Orchid turn to look at each other and giggle. Orchid leans in to the bar and opens a drawer on the side. She grabs a few packs of tea and places them in the coffee pot.

Song: So, Orchid, why we all going to China for?

Orchid: I didn’t ask, Master Lilly said she needed me in China and I said okay.

Jon Dough: She said that to me and Song as well.

Orchid: Cool, well, we will be there soon enough.

Song: Good because I’m hungry.

Orchid: I got you Song.

Song: Oh, you have food?

Orchid: I went to McDonald and picked up a bunch of grilled chicken salads.

Song: It’s something.

Orchid: Okay, I'll go to the fridge in get them, you want one Jon?

Jon Dough: I’m never hungry but I’m sure Matt would want me to eat something.

Orchid and Song shake their heads as Orchid gets up and heads to the back of the plane. Song looks at Jon Dough with a smile.

Song: I can’t wait to get started for real, like when the camera is on.

Song says as she starts to crack her knuckles licking her lips.

Jon Dough: You a bit to excited there Song.

Song gives Jon a cheesy smile as she nods at him.

Jon Dough: You better not go to far to the point that I get fired Song. I don’t care if they bury me but you better not get me fired is all I am asking for.

Jon says twice to make sure it sinks in Song’s thick head.

Song: Don’t worry, I wouldn’t say anything you wouldn’t.

Jon shakes his head at Song’s comment. Song smiles and changes the subject.

Song: Tea should be ready soon.

Jon Dough: Cool, well…

Orchid arrives with 3 salads. She hands them one each along with a package that has a napkin, fork and knife.

Jon Dough: Thanks Orchid.

Song: Thanks.

Orchid: You are both welcome.

Jon looks at Song and Orchid one last time before he leaves. Matt opens up the package to get the fork out, he then opens up the container holding the salad.

Song grabs the coffee pot and glasses to pour the three some hot tea. Song and Orchid bow before opening there containers to chow down.

15 minutes later, they clean up after themselves and go back to there seats. Matt Spears buckles as Song pulls the curtain for privacy.

Matt Spears: You going back to bed?

Song: Maybe.

Orchid: No, Song is…

Song: Don’t worry about what I am doing.

The countdown hits zero and turns off. The plane slowly backs up as it sits half inside a hanger. After backing up and heading to the rampway they take off.

10 minutes later, now up in the air at the right latitude, Matt unbuckles as he smells Song’s smokes. Orchid coughs and opens the curtain to leaves the room.

Song: I'm trying to bake in here, close the curtain!  

Orchid closes the curtain and heads over to the otherside of the plane. Matt decides to put his seat back and just go back to bed.

6 hours later  Matt wakes up and sees nobody around. He unbuckles and goes to the Isle to see Orchid, Song and the cameraman playing cards. Matt turns to looks at the info feed and sees the timer of 55 minutes until they arrive in China.Matt walks over to the three.

Matt Spears: Hey. What you playing?

Song: Nothing yet, we were about to play poker.

Orchid: Yeah we just went through the whole International Date Line thing as the cameraman thought he slept for 20 hours when he saw what day and time it is on his phone.

Matt Spears: Cool, well the plane is landing in about 50 minutes. I’ll gonna go lay back down.

Song: Okay, well be there shortly.

Jon walks back to his seat and relaxes. He grabs his phone and a pair of headphones to jam out to some music to help kill the time.

One hour later they land at a private airport in Foshan, China. They get off the plane and get in a helicopter that will fly them over to Master Wong’s dojo outside the city.

Once at the dojo Lin Ting Lu shows the cameraman the room set up for him and a student to drive him around to go sightsee whenever he liked. Song goes to the main kitchen in the dojo to prepare roasted duck.

Orchid takes off to the blacksmiths room so she can check on the students there. Lin Ting Lu walks with Matt as she walks him down a short hallway to get to a set of stairs leading up a floor. They take about ten steps up and walk right into one of the meeting rooms.

Matt walks in before her and looks around to see Master Wong, Wong Fai Hung, Eyesnsane, Blasted Monk, a male and a female figure in ninja outfits and another master Matt has seen at the dojo but never met. they sit around a huge round table with room for Matt, Lin Ting Lu an one more chair.

Matt turns to Lin Ting Lu.

Matt Spears: What’s going on?

Master Lilly: I’m not sure.

Lin Ting Lu says as she kind of shrugs her shoulders. Matt turns to Master Wong.

Female ninja: Have a seat Matt.

Matt Spears: What’s going on?

Eyesnsane: We’re just waiting for Song before we can get started.

Matt takes a seat as does Lin Ting Lu. A few minutes later Song walks in the room and looks around. She quickly picks up on that something has happened. Song knows whatever it is that it concerns Matt as the sit next to him is sit for her and he sits next to Lin Ting Lu on the other side. Song takes a seat as Eyesnsane gives Song a look, Song moves her mouth to speak without making a sound. Eyesnsane nods which gets Song to crack her neck to get ready to grab Matt if needed.

Master Wong: Welcome Matt. I need you to relax as what I am about to say will be a lot to take in.

Matt Spears: Okay.

Matt says unsure what else to say.

Master Wong: 7 and a half years we found you left for dead. You woke up from the coma 7 months later. You couldn’t remember anything, not who you were or who hired you to kill King Edwards.

Matt Spears: Yes, I since then remembered and told you everything I knew, I wasn’t there to kill him. I was there to save him then a ninja looking dude like him came from nowhere and all hell broke loose and I got caught.

Master Wong: That was because a group was hired to protect the King as he was aware of the hit. This group was unaware of your presence there and took you for the assassin.

Matt Spears: Okay, why you telling me this now?

Master Wong: As you know, these people that wanted the king dead went after you and your family.

Matt starts to get mad as he is aware of what happened and wishes not to talk about it.

Master Wong: I must admit to you Matt, I asked you everything I could because I have been on a mission to find out who called the hit n the king.

Matt Spears: Why?

Master Wong: Because that group that was hired that mistook you as the intruder was my people.

Matt Spears: So you are responsible for all of this?

Matt says as he gets up. Lin Ting Lu and Song each grab his shoulders and force him back to his sit.

Master Lilly: Sit and relax, hear him out first.

Master Wong: I have found the men responsible for the hit on the king and you and your family.

Matt Spears: Good, so who was it so I can kill him like he killed my wife.

Female Ninja: You’re to late for that.

She says as she turns to look at the male ninja.

Matt Spears: What was that?

Master Wong: Matt, understand that everything has been taken care of. You have no one to go after.

Matt starts to shake, he feels angry, sad, relieved all at the same time.

Matt Spears: I wished to have done this myself, I wanted them to suffer not no quick death. I wanted the to feel like I have!

Female Ninja: Never question my work or you may find out yourself what it was like to be him when I was done.

Matt Spears: Did you really make him suffer?

Female Ninja: Enough for you to be okay with what you are about to hear.

Matt Spears:What more is there?

Master Wong: We felt bad and never wanted to see anyone innocence dying. They went after your wife but the truth is, they been looking for her as they were told she dead by the same group that stopped you.

Matt Spears: But you just said that was your students.

Master Wong: Matt, we didn’t kill your wife. However what we did do was kidnapped your wife and placed her under protective custody while we investigated who the perpetrator was. Matt, your wife is alive.

Matt starts to flip out in his seat as Lin Ting Lu and Song hold him down.

Matt Spears: I’m all for jokes but this is fucking to much.  

Matt struggles as he tries to get free from the kung fu grips of Lin Ting Lu and Song.

Maeter Lilly: Matt, try to calm down and take a second to take this ll in.

Matt Spears: Calm down!? Calm down!? Are you fucking kidding me. Let me the fuck go!

Master Wong: This is no joke, but matt, there's more.

Matt Spears: What!

Matt says with anger.

Master Wong: Your wife agreed to work with us to lure them in. We were able to capture them all but your wife took a bad bump but is okay. she like you as lost her memory and doing what she can to live life normally.

Matt Spears: What the fuck does that mean?

Master Wong: It took us a year to find the man in charge. We let her live her life while she watched out for her. We were able to get to the man in charge. Now that we know you both are 100% safe to live your lives together, we did not want to waste anymore time. We have sent for her to meet you here at the dojo. She will be arriving in a few days.

Matt Spears: I don’t believe you.

Master Wong: Well, I will prove this to be true on Saturday.

Everyone but Matt, Eyesnsane, Lin Ting Lu and Song get up nd leave the room. Matt looks at Eyesnsane.

Matt Spears: Is he for real?

Eyesnsane: Yes.

Matt Spears: And you knew about this?

Eyesnsane: Yes.

Matt turns to look at Lin Ting Lu.

Matt: You know about this as well?

Master Lilly: I found out recently Matt.

Matt Spears: Please let me go.

Song: Just don’t do nothing stupid.

Song and Lin Ting Lu let his shoulders go. Matt gets up and starts to pace around as he is really Unsure how to feel or react over what he just learned. So many questions are running through his mind right now the main one being if this is a joke or not.

Matt has a hard time believing that something like this can be going on for the past few years. Too many questions on how this just doesn't make sense.

Master Lilly: Eyesnsane, Song, can you please allow me and Matt to have some privacy.

The two nod and get up from their chairs. They leave the room leaving Lin Ting Lu alne with Matt.

Master Lilly: Matt, I'm really sorry that this has happened. I myself am not pleased at how I found this out. I cannot imagine how you must feel, and I know that this may not matter to you but you must believe me that this was. With the best interest of everyone involved whether you can believe it or not. At the end of the day you're both alive, and if you're thinking that you just lost years of time that you could have been spending with your wife understand this. It could have been during that time and which these men would have gone after you both and had that happen neither one of you two would be alive right now.

Matt Spears: so this was all done to protect a woman you are never met? And then you create a plan in which you use my wife as bait to lower these men and to the point where she gets hurt loses her memory in the process understand that is a lot to take in with a whole bunch of information that really doesn't make any sense.

Master Lilly: There is more to it however he just wanted to explain to you the logistics of everything that is going on. More details will be given to you within the next few days. Master Wong knows there's only so much one person can take at one time. He just felt the need not to hold that part of the information from you any longer.

Matt Spears: please forgive me if I don't see thankful for keeping my wife alive, heading from me this whole time, and then use her as bait which could have killed her. Then to top it off you guys tell me I have to wait a few more days to see her because she's not around. Please understand that there are reasons why I'm not just here jumping with joy over this.

Master Lilly: I completely understand, believe me when I tell you Matt, this is not the way I had hope everything will go down. But I can assure you that once you are back with your wife you will be grateful for everything Master Wong has done. But at this very moment I can completely understand the level of frustration you could be feeling.

Matt Spears: I don't know where to begin. I'm not sure how to take this entire thing right now. I understand you're saying this was done to protect us however I feel like there's a lot more to it than that it definitely cuts deeper than that.

Master Lilly: I understand.

Matt Spears: with all due respect, I would like to be alone for a while.

Master Lilly: would you like for me to scored you to who your room?

Matt Spears: no thank you, as of right now I don't even want to leave this room. So if you don't mind I would please like to be alone right now.

Lin Ting Lu gets up and leaves the room. She closes the door behind her and puts a do not disturb sign on the door so others don't enter the room.

The cameraman meets Lin Ting Lu down the hallway. He explains to her that he is there because Song and Jon want to push buttons in there promo and want him to film it all. The cameraman fears that he may get in trouble for his part in the whole thing as while he is not encouraging the behavior he is doing nothing to stop it and feels that he can lose his job for not the bosses know ahead of time what was going on.

Lin Ting Lu assures the camera man not to worry about anything because she feels after the information Matt found out the last thing he would want is to push buttons. She walks with the cameraman down the hallway, opposite of where Matt is keeping himself lock away i private.

Lin Ting Lu explain to the cameraman that it might be a few days before he is needed as Matt was just given some information that is personal and will take some time for him to adjust to. While the cameraman is confused he just nods and says okay.

Four days later, Friday May 18 2018, 2 am

Lin Ting Lu walks the halls to go check on Matt Spears who has yet to come out of the meeting room this whole time. As shewalks the hallway she sees a bosy on the floor. Lin Ting Lu runs overto see what is going on. Once at the door she realizes that it is working laying on the floor sleeping by the door.

She realizes work it is sleeping there so that would Matt is ready to come out he will see Orchid first. Orchid was left in the dark and was not aware of anything that was going on. Like Matt, Orchid feels a bit betrayed by the dojo, but deep down she also understands that had she been aware of this she may had said something to Matt at some point which could have ruined everything.

Master Lilly: Hey Orchid, why don’t you go to bed, Matt will be alright.

Orchid sits up not looking happy at all.

Master Lilly; Look Orchid, you’re not the only one upset about this whole thing. But right now…

Lin Ting Lu stops talking as she and Orchid turn their head as they hear the door crack open. Matt Steps out the room, Orchid jumps up to her feet and leans in to give Matt a hug.

Orchid: I am so sorry Matt, I swear I didn’t know anything.

Jon Dough: Matt’s not doing so good Orchid.

Orchid: Jon?

Jon Dough: Yes.

Orchid: Tell Matt I am so sorry.

Jon Dough: I will.

Jon hugs Orchid back, the let go and he turns to look at Lin Ting Lu.

Jon Dough: Matt is not doing so good. He is flipping out as he stress is starting to get to him.

Master Lilly: His wife is be landing very soon. Just try not to let him hurt himself in a way, I mean that mentally as well as physically Jon.

Jon Dough: I know. Where is Song?

Master Lilly: I found out the little plan you and Song were up to. I have given her a list of things to do so that I can make sure she is busy and not around you if you choose to do any promo  filming for your upcoming match. You do not have much time to do a promo for the first week unless we get started now. You're not going to have much time next week for your other promo as Matt will be too busy trying to square his life away.

Jon Dough: I already did my promo hours after my match against Caleb Storms. The cameraman had explained to me that he was going to edit what we did on the plane and then send it to the company on Friday. Or giving our in China I guess Saturday our time.

Master Lilly: Oh I see.

Jon Dough: Don't worry, I did it without Song, so you don't have to worry about anything I didn't do anything stupid.

Master Lilly: That is great news.

Jon Dough: In fact, I already seen my opponents handy work. I can start one up now and get it out the way. That way I can focus on helping Matt threw out the week.

Master Lilly: . I will get that set up for you as I have the cameraman occupied right now.

Orchid: You do?

Master Lilly: Yes, he us with Song,  she is fourth walling her little heart out to a audience of 0, as I said I have her occupied so that you can do what needs to be done without you and her causing any trouble.


Jon Dough: I just need to get my mask…

Orchid hands him the mask with a smile on her face.

Jon Dough: How many of these do you carry with you?

Orchid: That’s the only one you own that I am aware of.

10 minutes later

On Camera.

We Jon  wearing his mask along with a plain black T-shirt hand jean shorts. He looks at the camera and waste no time as he Paces back and forth beginning to speak.

Jon Dough: the day that I lost the roulette Championship was also the same day and which Ben Jordan Agreed to having a match with me. Title or no title she was more than happy to get in the ring with me as he knows the history between us. You see Ben Jordan is a man that understands that this match is something fans have been waiting for While others who haven't would still love to see the match play out.

Funny thing is, Ty said last week. That Ben was ignoring me and therefore I should give it up. I had hoped he knew better then to be like Caleb and not talk out are ass as if he doesn’t watch the product. Sure, Ty can say I watch but not when you on but it was Ben Jordan on so he didn’t bother to watch that part of last week’s program. Instead he assumed Ben has been ignoring me when in fact Ben has been vocal about the match.

Ty must really hate the fact that I a trying to get in the ring with someone I have history with because he said a few weeks ago when doing a promo vs Maxin that I was only doing this to get attention. You know, ignoring the history between us. The best part was when he said that I should not ride his coattails. But then the very next breath Ty rides the coattails of Kris talking about how great of a champion he was.

So in Ty’s head, I should not ride the coattails of someone I have feuded with but he gets to ride the coattails of the champion why? You Ty, others have jumped on Kris’s bandwagon and guess what, without naming names, they all left here. I guess riding his coattails was not enough to get them far. They even started a stable together that went nowhere. You want to be just like the rest of them then be my guest.  You see unlike you I will not contradict myself, you want to ride someone's coattails so be it, but don't tell somebody not to rise the coattails off of someone and then in the same breath ride someone's Coattails.

Caleb, you know on the other hand never mind as Ty was right about you,  you just repeated what Ty had said and he called you out on it. The issue with you Caleb is that in the little the time you been here you have had others talking about you, some good, some bad. But no one looks  at you as a threat just a good wrestler that is up-and-coming nothing more.

Title or no title I get a match I been wanting for a long time. I know Ben does not care if this would be for the title, however, if I can make it for the title then great. At the end of the day that just falls on one person to accomplish that.

Jon snaps his fingers and points his two thumbs at himself.

Jon Dough: That person is me. And while this makes Ty angry that I moved on to Ben. understand that you did challenge me to a match title or no title. And like Ben taking my offer. I will take your offer of a one on one match. You see you did, what I did with Ben. You won’t admit it but you see a great match up. Therefore you want to capitalize on that, I don't blame you and I look forward to that match regardless if there's a title on the line or not.

To the fans.

The fans already know that I go out there and I give them my all no matter the outcome of the match and this will be no different. I plan on going out there and raising the bar in this Opening match up, making everybody else on the roster have to step it up a notch. It’s what I do and I bo it better than the rest.

Off Camera.

Jon removes the mask.

Orchid: You okay?

Jon Dough: No, something's not right. I need to run to the bathroom.

Jon runs out the room and down the hallway to throw up, Matt has been locked in a room with no fresh air, water or food. A few days of that has made Matt Spears sick. Song will end up making him some food as Orchid will make sure he gets the right bed rest....

That said.

We end the story here for now, catch us next time as Matt meets his wife for the first time in 7 years!
