RP Title: "One way or another I’m walking out as champ!â€
My Bloody Valentine was this weekend and Steve was officially working two matches that night, first he was competing in the opener against Casey Williams, Joshua Acquin and Travis Nathanial Andrews for the vacated Men’s Roulette Title but at the end of the night he will also compete in the Gauntlet to determine the new World Championship.
Alongside Steve the confirmed participants for the World Title Match are as follows, Sean Jackson, Goth, Casey Williams, J2H and Despayre and with another week to go before the event there was bound to be more competitors signing up for the match but knowing Steve he would not back down.
As for the opener Steve was the last to promote the match with neither Josh nor TNA being heard from for the rest of the week but there was still a week to go and Steve had a long week ahead of him but can he win both of his matches?

Yeah things have been pretty rough over the past few weeks.
Granted Charlotte was always against the actions I’ve been taking since I kicked Shane in the head last year but I didn’t actually think that it would result in her wanting a divorce, it’s not like she could’ve blamed SCW’s World Tour for it either because that was out of my hands and she did come with me for the initial leg before returning to Las Vegas following the Superkick incident and in my defense I was loyal to her and was there for Marcus’s birth.
And then the midget comment happened, and then the incident at the Karaoke club happened, and the rest is history.
So you’re probably wondering what my thoughts are heading into the Fatal Four Way for the Roulette Title and the Gauntlet Match for the World Title, well my thoughts are this: WHERE IS EVERYONE?! I mean yeah Casey promoted the match but his promo went up before mine did and aside from him there hasn’t been a peep from TNA or Joshua all week, granted I’m not complaining about not hearing TNA’s annoying voice but still! This is for the Roulette Title and these guys can’t be bothered to promote the match?
Yeah, I know, it’s still early in week two and there’s still a whole week to go before My Bloody Valentine goes on the air but that’s beside the point.
You probably remembered that Charlotte mentioned our babysitter for the kids whilst we were otherwise occupied during my promo last week, a seventeen-year-old local girl called Sally, we met her through her parents at a party early in my SCW run and they mentioned that their daughter was looking for work, Charlotte suggested that she work for us as a babysitter and the rest is history.
Why do I say that? Because it’s my turn to pay her and me and the boys just got back from the gym.
“Sally, are you in here?†I called out to her as we entered the house and I got my wallet ready, Charlotte was off at a salon getting her hair done and since we figured out that I’d be back before Charlotte was we decided that it was my turn to pay her and, of course, Dio was there to greet me as always..
“I’m in the kitchen.†Sally called out and Andreas and Cyrus sat down at the dining room table to chat whilst I entered the kitchen, Sally was a short girl but only just taller than Jessie with long red hair that went down to her waist and green eyes, she was pretty but like I said, she’s seventeen and even if she was of legal age I’m in enough trouble with Charlotte without adding “cheating on wife with teenaged babysitter†to her list of grievances with me, that and she’s a lesbian. “Dog’s fed, Marcus is fast asleep and I’m just preparing Sophie’s dinner.â€
“Good to know, what are you making for her?†I asked as I leaned against the counter, her dad was a former chef and he had taught Sally everything she knows about cooking, she had even mentioned to us that she wanted to become a chef herself one day and was using the babysitter gig to save up enough money to get her into culinary school.
“She’s six years’ old so I’m keeping it simple, burger and fries.†Sally responded as she showed me the contents of the oven and chip pan fryer, then I realized that she was also cooking two steaks, a ribeye and a sirloin. “The steaks are for me and my girlfriend Lori, she had another fight with her parents so she asked if she could come over.†Sally explained before I noticed the other woman who was sitting at the table, a raven haired girl around Sally’s age with short hair and brown eyes and judging from her choice of clothes she was definitely more of a tomboy than Sally was.
“Yeah, that’s fine, I know you mentioned to Charlotte before that her parents didn’t exactly approve of her dating another woman.†I commented with a nod before waving to Lori who waved back. “I won’t have to pay her for babysitting as well, right?â€
“Sally did the babysitting stuff, I just lounged around and played with Dio.†Lori responded as she shook her head before grinning. “I wouldn’t exactly complain if you did pay me though.â€
“Nice try but I only withdrew enough money from the account to pay Sally.†I responded and Lori sighed to herself. “You could always split the bill between yourselves.â€
“Yeah and I’m sure ten bucks will get me much.†Lori said as she rolled her eyes. “Besides, based on what Sal’s told me you’ll be doing the same for your misses at the rate you’re going.â€
“Lori, they’re not getting a divorce, they’re just having marriage problems!†Sally reminded her before I could tell her off for her below the belt remark and she just rolled her eyes.
“Sal, my mom went through three marriages before I even hit puberty and she’s currently on husband number eight, and yet she considers gay marriage to be destroying the holy sanctity of marriage, trust me, I know the signs.†Lori responded and I went to respond to her comment but it gave me pause.
“Sally, can I ask you something?†I asked her and Sally turned to me. “You’ve known us for two years now, do you think I’m a good dad?â€
“That’s kinda out of the blue, isn’t it?†Sally asked with a look of surprise on her face but the look on my face told her that I was serious. “Considering that you’re a professional wrestler I’d say so, Sophie’s polite and well-mannered considering her age and all and I’m sure Marcus will turn out just fine, however she is taking the whole situation between you and Charlotte pretty hard.†Sally responded before frowning. “You’re worried that Charlotte will try to say that you’re a bad dad if it does get as far as divorce, aren’t you?â€
“Well Sophie won’t say a bad word about me, I do frequently take her with me to England’s Bloodstock festival and that’s just for starters.†I responded as Sally finished off the food and plated it up, she put Sophie’s food on the plate first before turning to the doorway leading into the kitchen.
“Sophie, dinner’s ready and your dad’s home!†Sally called out and Sophie came running grinning when she saw me in the kitchen and sat down before Sally even had a chance to plate the rest of the food. “Steve I know this is awkward but could I have my payment now? Me and Lori are going off to the Cinema to see Deadpool after I’m done here.â€
“Aren’t you a little underage for that?†I asked and Lori laughed.
“We can both pass for being in our early twenties and we’ve done a lot of stuff we’re a bit underage for, besides, we’ve seen plenty of……†Lori stopped herself when she remembered that a six-year-old girl was at the table. “Love scenes on the internet.†She added and I quickly got the idea.
“Sure, I’m going to be playing Cards against Humanity against the guys anyway.†I responded before getting out my wallet and checking the notes, I realized that I had taken out twenty bucks when I already had another twenty in my wallet and I almost dismissed it before getting an idea. “Okay, here’s twenty for the babysitting…...†I trailed off as I handed Sally the money. “And another twenty to get Lori something nice for Valentine’s Day.â€
“Sweet! Thanks Steve!†Lori said with a big grin on her face as she continued to eat her food. “I’d almost ask what you were doing for Valentine’s but……well, you know…….â€
“Yeah, we’ll be seeing Deadpool as well and then it’s off to My Bloody Valentine II, that reminds me actually, I’ll be in California over the weekend for My Bloody Valentine, will you be available to babysit the kids whilst Charlotte’s not here?†I responded as I motioned to the boys and Sally nodded.
“Yeah, we don’t really celebrate Valentine’s anyway, well unless you count having sex but aside from that.†Sally responded and I nodded.
“Just don’t make out in me and Charlotte’s bed, I’m in enough trouble as it is.†I responded and the girls grinned. “We’ll be leaving for six so try to be there for five, after that before they started eating, I left the kitchen planning to cook my own dinner later and joined the boys at the table.
“I could’ve sworn you only had one babysitter.†Cyrus commented as I sat down and I shook my head.
“Remember Sally’s girlfriend Lori? She had another fight with her parents over her lesbian status and Sally invited her over for a few hours.†I responded as I sat down at the table. “Well, she didn’t say that that was the cause but knowing her parents…..â€
“Yeah, I understand.†Cyrus responded with a nod as he started shuffling the Cards against Humanity deck. “So what time are we booked to see Deadpool again?â€
“Six o’clock, after that it’s straight to the arena for My Bloody Valentine.†I responded and they nodded. “Sophie’s not taking the arguments between me and Charlotte well.â€
“I’m not surprised as the relationship has really gone downhill in recent weeks.†Andreas responded and I gave him a “not helping†look. “Just saying.â€
“You can “just say†whatever you want, it won’t change the facts.†I responded with an annoyed sigh. “Anyway Sally cooked Sophie’s dinner and, assuming Charlotte isn’t back by then, I’ll be cooking ours, anything you guys want?â€
“I could go for some chicken I think.†Cyrus responded with a shrug and I nodded, Andreas said the same thing (more or less) which made my job easier. “What’ll you have?â€
“I think I’ll play it by ear once I’m cooking.†I responded as we got ready to play the game, about twenty minutes into the game Sally and Lori came by to let us know that they were leaving and by that point I had almost won the game, problem was that I was the Czar. “In the distant future historians will agree that blank marked the beginning of America’s decline.â€
“Oh I am going to hell for this.†Cyrus said with a grin as he played the card and considering that we were tied for first place that made me worried.
“Same here.†Andreas responded as he played the card and I picked them up.
“Okay, In The Distant Future Historians will agree that Barack Obama marked the beginning of America’s decline.†I read the card out getting a hearty laugh out of Cyrus and Andreas, that almost won but…... “Oh my god.†I said as I face-palmed. “You guys do remember that I’m from New York, right?â€
“That makes it even funnier!†Cyrus responded with a knowing grin and I shook my head with an annoyed sigh.
“In the distant future historians will agree that 9/11 marked the beginning of America’s decline.†I read the card out and Andreas immediately left the table knowing that he had lost laughing all the way. “You son of a bitch, Cyrus.â€
“And proud off it!†Cyrus responded with a grin as he took the black card and the win. “Honestly it was that or Police Brutality.â€
“You think that’s bad? I had “A Vague Fear of something called ISIS†in my hand.†I responded as I turned the card around getting a laugh out of them. “Do you want to play another game or should I get started on my promo?â€
“Do your promo first, we can wait.†Cyrus responded and I nodded before I stood up. “By the way, are we still up for Dungeons and Dragons later?â€
“Yeah after we’ve had dinner and Sophie goes up to bed.†I responded before walking off and out of the room, Sophie was currently out in the garden playing with Dio so I went into my D&D Room so that I could at least do my promo in peace.
“Since I made the fact that I’ll be participating in the Gauntlet for the Gold known last week the following guys have followed suit, J2H, Despayre, Sean Jackson and Goth join me and Casey as the competitors in the Gauntlet so far but at the same time there hasn’t been a peep from certain people including my other two opponents Joshua Acquin and TNA, come on! I at least expected TNA to jump on the opportunity to win the World Title knowing his ego, also someone, somewhere is about to make a pot calling the kettle black joke at my expense but I don’t care, I’ve already said my peace on the Gauntlet and there’s only one thing left to do, talk about how I am your next SCW Roulette Champion!â€
Well that and world champion but I already talked about that last week.
“Normally I don’t like to repeat myself but on the other hand Casey is the only other guy to promote the match and announce that he’ll be in the gauntlet out of the four competitors so yeah, I pretty much have to start with him for the second week in a row! Casey and I have a rather storied history up to and including my debut match three years ago but do you remember what happened when we faced off Casey? I beat you!â€
And I’ll beat you again!
“It’s often said that those who don’t learn from the past are doomed to repeat it and from what I’ve seen Casey has definitely NOT learned from his past mistakes! Hell if this match was just between me and him, which it may as well be seeing as how TNA and Acquin are missing in action, I’d still kick his head into orbit and hit the International Space Station whilst I’m at it! What I’m getting at Casey is this, whenever we face off you lose and this won’t be any different.
Next up is Josh.
“You know I’m almost tempted to skip over TNA and Acquin seeing as how they haven’t been seen anywhere near a camera, nor normally I wouldn’t complain about not seeing their ugly mugs on TV especially with Rage set to compete in a match with Ethan Alexander, come on, there’s only so much ugly on a card that people can handle! Aside from that though, what’s there left to say about Josh?â€
Not a lot.
“The last time that me and Josh were in a title match together he left me high and dry for no reason! What’s that? He was eliminated?†I proceeded to make a mock buzzer sound with my mouth. “WRONG! He threw the match because he knew that he couldn’t compare to my greatness and I’m beginning to think that the same thing is happening with the Roulette Title and potentially the World Title Match, even if Josh does do a promo for either match it won’t matter because even if he signs up for both he won’t win!â€
Last but not least is TNA.
“Like I said, I was almost tempted to skip over TNA and Acquin due to their lack of promos last week but I didn’t want to look like an idiot in case either of them did promote the match in time for the Supercard, and I can’t wait to see my opponents jump on that comment!†I said with sarcasm dripping from my mouth. “But it’s not like it really matters because it’d take a miracle for TNA to last five seconds with me!â€
And that’s a fact!
“Do you remember what happened the last time we were in a ring together Travis? I do, I kicked your head off for the three count and got suspended the same day because apparently I’m not allowed to defend myself against a guy who’s coming after me just because he’s not a trained wrestler, granted Shane was almost a trained wrestler but that’s beside the point, it’s like I said to Casey Travis, history has a funny habit of repeating itself and whilst I doubt that I’ll get suspended again, unless being too good in the ring is a suspendable offense, I’ll beat you again!â€
And with that I decided to wrap things up.
“First the SCW World Roulette Title and then the SCW World Title itself! I’ll be walking out of Long Beach, California with not one but two titles that I have yet to hold in SCW and that’s a fact! Casey, TNA, Josh, Sean, Goth, J2H, Despayre, whoever else decides to sign up for the Gauntlet between now and Friday it doesn’t matter because one way or another I’m walking out as champ! This message has been paid for and delivered by “The Fearless One†Steve Ramone, the champion the fans deserve!â€
I left the room to get started on dinner as the scene fades.
