The lights are barely lit inside of a studio. Some clapping could be heard before a very familiar song began to play through the speakers inside the studio. Gaining the attention of the live audience.

So no one told you life was gonna be this way
Your job's a joke, you're broke
Your love life's DOA
It's like you're always stuck in second gear
When it hasn't been your day, your week, your month
Or even your year, but...

I'll be there for you
(When the rain starts to pour)
I'll be there for you
(Like I've been there before)
I'll be there for you
('Cause you're there for me too) 🎵🎵

By that time the studio lights came on. Revealing a suit and tied dressed up GUY. Sipping from a coffee mug with the logo “Behind the Cape w/ GUY” placed on it. For great advertisement purposes. Of course there were some more claps and some cheers from the studio audience. The music started to fade out leading to the cameras zoom in on GUY sitting at the desk.


● thecapecrusader; GUY: Huzzah! Welcome to Episode One of Behind the Cape w/ GUY!

A big flashing sign pointing towards the crowd was directing them to cheer and make some noise. Doing just as they were encouraged. GUY beaming still with a bright smile.

● thecapecrusader; GUY: Before I continue. I was told that I must inform networks and the band The Rembrandts. Sin City Wrestling was in no way shape or form involved with choosing or airing that song. All lawsuits that may come from it. Should have my name and my name on them only.

He turned to the right of him. Looking at someone that was off camera.

● thecapecrusader; GUY: Happy?!

His expression twisted up like he was making fun of someone. Leading to some laughter from the audience. GUY allowed himself to come back to the cameras to address the people there live.

● thecapecrusader; GUY: Being the creative genius that I am. I’ve come up with such a brilliant idea to get my face on SCW programming more a week. By coming up with this concept. My goal is to discuss what is going on in the SCW world. Each week while attempting to bring on a SCW Superstar or Bombshell on the show. Peel back the curtain to their lives. Get to know them. I just might end up being the smartest man alive!

His grin was growing a little more on his face. Sure enough there were more cheers coming from the live audience. Showing their support for the man and his concept.

● thecapecrusader; GUY: We’re coming off Violent Conduct ... where I would like to point out I was screwed out of my chance to be King and no. I will never let that go Christian!

GUY found himself spitting his tongue out in shape. Before picking up some of the papers that were sitting in front of him. Looking over them.

● thecapecrusader; GUY: Violent Conduct ended up with fourteen incredible -- well most of the matches were incredible matches. And it’s going to be almost impossible to cover all fourteen of them. Or, better yet... I’m just lazy and don’t have enough water up here to keep me from getting cotton mouth covering all of that. So we’re going to discuss some of the more important matters. Starting with the SCW Heavyweight Championship match.

The live audience found themselves booing right away. Didn’t seem like that match was interesting to the people sitting there before him.

● thecapecrusader; GUY: Sheesh! What a rough crowd! That being said in that match. We saw Michael Harris challenge Popstar J... J2H. Well, dude looks like a popstar. Do they let anyone wrestle nowadays?

He peered to the right of him once again to someone off camera. Nodding his head a second later.

● thecapecrusader; GUY: Apparently, that’s a thing. They let anyone wrestle. But this match took place in a Barbed Wire Steel Cage match. We all saw violence from both sides. J2H more shockingly violent than I would have inspected. You’d assume he wouldn’t want to ruin his man makeup or do any damage to his vocal chords. In the end the singlest biggest piece of [beep] won... Hey! Wait a minute! I am funding all of this. You can’t let me say [beep]?!

Throwing his hands up in the air some. Looking off in the distance, some small laughter coming from the live audience.

● thecapecrusader; GUY: This is some bull[beep]! Whatev... point is we all have to sit through another boring run of Michael Harris as champion. With his monotone voice, his empty threats, and those sanderson witch sisters hanging around here. I apologize in advance folks. The main event isn’t going to be watchable for a good little bit.

There was a shrug of his shoulders. All of the sudden someone could be seen walking across the stage to GUY with a quecard in hand. Handing it over to him.

● thecapecrusader; GUY: What the frick is this?!

Briefly reading over the card. Shaking his head.

● thecapecrusader; GUY: Nope! Nope! Nope! That’s a negative!

GUY peering off to the right once again while continuing to shake his head.

● thecapecrusader; GUY: First you make me take on any potential lawsuit from the greatest TV show song ever written. Then you won’t allow me to cuss on my own show that I’m funding. And now you’re getting stuff from the office telling me to talk about that abomination of a match?!

His eyes were a little narrow.

● thecapecrusader; GUY: That’s where I’ll be putting my foot down and letting my cape fly high. We will not be endorsing anything, Krystal Wolfe on this show. Giving no clout to her or that match whatsoever. If I had brought a ticket to see that. I’d be asking for a refund for the entire supercard. For that garbage! Only one allowed to be oofy around here is me!

Following that comment GUY proceeded to toss the card that had been handed to him. Continuing onward with how he wanted to do things.

● thecapecrusader; GUY: One match we can talk about is the Bombshell World Championship. SCW’s biggest crybaby, Ariana Aneglos taking on the champ Courtney Pierce. I can say I’m not surprised by the fact it ended in some [beep]ery! It’s like everyone from Jet City is the same. Can’t win on their own. Gotta bend the rules. Gotta cheat. No honor. No dignity. But then again how could any of you believe in Ariana when she’s done nothing but cry for months?! Cries about not being featured. Cries about losing the matches. Cries about being named an opponent for a match. Cries when she loses again. At this point, she’s got to go out and get herself a sponsorship with Kleenex. While Courtney is meant to be hated. It’s the deal. It’s the gimmick. She’s more lovable than Ariana. We don’t need a crybaby for a champion!

His comments had the live audience split down the middle. Some were cheering as if they agreed with him. The others were groaning a little bit at his take. Showing that they didn’t agree with him.

● thecapecrusader; GUY: And then there was a great match for the SCW Internet Championship. My bestest friend in the whole wide world Calvin Harris defended his shiny toy against what I am pretty sure was a giant garbage disposal. No other way to describe Braddock other than being illiterate and surviving somehow with just a third grade education. That dude is one big motherlover though. Tossed the champ around quite a bit. Made me feel for my bestie. But of course Calvin does what Calvin does. Digs deep. Pulls it out. Hits like five moves of doom. Never Back Down, Never Quit... I think I’ve seen that somewhere before.

A little smirk crossed the lips of GUY while he gave a little wink. Getting a great reaction out of the crowd when it came to laughing.

● thecapecrusader; GUY: In the end Calvin walked out with the Internet Championship just like I knew he would. And because of that, I couldn’t think of a better guest for the first ever episode. So ladies and gentlemen. Boys and girls. Children of all ages. Put your hands together for the BA Double Crooked Letter, CALVIN HARRIS

Following the words of GUY, the studio began to play “Save Yourself” by One Ok Rock. The live audience began to cheer and clap. A sharp dressed Calvin came walking out onto the stage. It didn’t take long for him to take a seat next to GUY’s desk as he waved out to all the fans in attendance. Calvin briefly waved to the audience as his music faded out.

● thecapecrusader; GUY: My man! Thanks for being the first guest tonight!

● thehighlightofthenight; CALVIN HARRIS: ... I didn’t have much of a choice did I? You left me sixty seven voicemails. Forty two text messages. You even sent a pigeon with a message. And then when that didn’t work. You got my wife involved.

● thecapecrusader; GUY: Calvin! Sidebar!

GUY attempted to cover up the microphone as he leaned in towards Calvin. The Internet Champion doing the same and leaning in some himself.

● thecapecrusader; GUY: We talked about this. I gave you a script!

● thehighlightofthenight; CALVIN HARRIS: I wasn’t going to say anything you wrote for me. Are you out of your mind? I’m not even sure any of that was english. And this is behind the cape right? You want to be authentic. Not scripts!

● thecapecrusader; GUY: Dude, you’re busting my balls here!

GUY shaking his head from side to side a bit. Taking his hand off the microphone, but every single one in the audience heard everything he had to say. Snickering could be heard.

● thecapecrusader; GUY: Well although, you had quite the match at Violent Conduct. Here at Behind the Cape w/ Guy. We sway away from the wrestling aspect a bit. Try to figure out who you are. Find out more about the person instead of the wrestler. You made mention to your wife, who is very pretty by the way.

● thehighlightofthenight; CALVIN HARRIS: Stop while you’re ahead. I don’t want to have to break your face on your own show.

● thecapecrusader; GUY: Hey! The violence was last Sunday! Point is, you made mention of your wife. Why don’t you give us insight on your marriage?

● thehighlightofthenight; CALVIN HARRIS: Oh god. That’s putting me on the spot. My wife is pretty much out of the limelight of professional wrestling now. You may see some banter with us on twitter every now and then, but our life is pretty private for the most part. Uh, I’m not even sure where to start. I met Alessandra in late two thousand and ten into early two thousand and eleven. We worked for the same company. We kind of just clicked. We had a lot of the same likes as far as alternative music goes. We were both smartasses. We had a very dark sense of humor. We started dating quickly, but we know now. That was probably a bad idea. We split up towards the the middle of two thousand and twelve.

● thecapecrusader; GUY: Oooh splitup? It’s about to get real juicy y’all!

● thehighlightofthenight; CALVIN HARRIS: Not as juicy as you think.

Sitting there shaking his head a bit. Calvin wasn’t going to give in too much.

● thehighlightofthenight; CALVIN HARRIS: There’s just some things I won’t talk about. The reason we split up isn’t really anyone’s business other than our own. But I will say we were both young and we both made some mistakes. Fast forward to the spring of two thousand and sixteen. We crossed paths again. At the time I was dealing with the death of my girlfriend at the time. I had a very troubling and concerning cocaine addiction. Something I don’t talk too much about but Alessandra came into my life as a friend. Someone that knew what addiction was like. Set out to help me, get me right, and things just happened man. I became a big part of our daughter’s life. VP, she was so little then. Not so little anymore. Over the time, our relationship grew. I adopted VP, we found out we were pregnant with Oliver, and eventually we got married. Been married over six years now. Time has flown by but that woman is everything to me. Literally everything. If it wasn’t for her, I don’t think I’d be here today. That’s the God’s honest truth.

● thecapecrusader; GUY: What a sweetheart. Wouldn’t everyone agree?!

There was some clapping from the live audience. Calvin kind of just rolled his eyes a little bit. Clearly catching on to what GUY was attempting to do.

● thehighlightofthenight; CALVIN HARRIS: Ain’t sentimental about a whole lot in life. My wife and kids though, that’s a different story.

● thecapecrusader; GUY: All I’m hearing is that you’re letting the world know that you’re a big soft teddy bear. BUT HUZZAH, we must move onto the next question. What’s it like being a dad? Is that something you ever envisioned for yourself?

● thehighlightofthenight; CALVIN HARRIS: Well to answer the last little bit. Is it something I had ever envisioned for myself? No, not at all. I had grown up in a pretty toxic family environment. As a young child, my mother walked out on me. God rest her soul now, but it’s the truth. She walked out on me. Drugs and alcohol were way more important to her than I was. That’s hard to understand a child ya know? And then my father, he was always on the road with my uncle.

I saw him one day a week for a really long time. Also something that is hard to understand as a child. So the other I got. I didn’t really feel that love from my parents that I should have and it made me feel some type of way. Made me feel like I never wanted to be a father myself. As I didn’t think I’d have that love to give. Since, I didn’t experience myself. That and I was so wrapped up in wrestling. I didn’t want to be an absent father myself.

Nodding his head just a little bit.

● thehighlightofthenight; CALVIN HARRIS: However when Alessandra and I reconnected again. She had Vanellope or as she called VP at home. I already said that, but yeah. That little girl was just turning three when I met her. Her father wasn’t in her life. Alessandra was doing an amazing job as a single mother, but there’s something about a child having a connection with a male father figure. I was the first one that Vanellope ever had or could remember. I was just as much attached to her as she was to me. Teaching her things, taking her to her first day of school, seeing how much she grows each year, and everything in between. It’s a second to none feeling. I love that little girl.

I was so honored to get a chance to adopt her and for her to call me dad. Our bond at times is tighter than the one she has with her mom. I get a lot of heat for that, but it blows my mind she’s about to turn ten. And she’s got the attitude like her mom. It’s rough some days in the house. Haha, can’t deny it. But then Oliver or Ollie as we call him came along. My actual first born. You know when you find out you’re having a boy. I think all men go through this mindset of how much their son is going to be like them. Seeing big things for them like being a football star or even taking after me as a pro wrestler. Not that it was something I would’ve ever pushed on him. But it’s things we think about. Only for Ollie to turn out to be the exact opposite of me. It isn’t a bad thing at all, but we are very different.

He’s so intune with his emotions at six. He knows how to communicate what he wants. Without having a tantrum. Hell, even when he was a baby. He was so peaceful. Rarely ever cried. Was very much happy as long as he was fed and changed. As he’s getting older, it’s cool to see the interests he’s starting to develop. At the age he is right now. He’s such a fantastic artist. The things he draws, the things he paints, and even the things he comes up with in his head. So creative. So original. He like VP makes me so honor for them to call me dad. I can’t wait to see what those two end up doing with their lives. Whatever it is. I’ll be there every step of the way. Helping out wherever I can. Making sure they achieve their dreams and their goals. Being a Dad is right up there with being a Husband. It’s the greatest thing I’ve ever done. Screw the wrestling stuff. That’s what matters to me.

● thecapecrusader; GUY: Oooh I’m going to start calling you Papa Calvin from here on out.

● thehighlightofthenight; CALVIN HARRIS: Ew for the love of God. Don’t start doing that.

● thecapecrusader; GUY: Oh it’s a thing... ANYWAY as the great Rick James once said. Cocaine is a hell of a drug. Gotta give us the dirty deets on that addiction!

● thehighlightofthenight; CALVIN HARRIS: I was a junkie man. It was bad. But I guess if you want the story of how it came to be. I have to go all the way back to the year two thousand and twelve. It was maybe three or four months after Alessandra went out separate ways. I was involved in a very-very bad car accident. We’re talking so badly that I was given a ten percent chance at living. I was super messed up for a long time. After getting out of the hospital. I was reliant on painkillers just to get me through the day. But I knew I wanted to get back into wrestling.

However being drugged up on painkillers to mask the pain wasn’t ideal. It did its job, it made living manageable. But it wasn’t going to make me feel motivated to wrestle or in the early stages get back and want to train to get back at it. So, a friend of mine - who I will not name. Suggested trying cocaine. Now I know that it sounds stupid now. But he sold me on the fact, it was a stimulant. It would make me hyperfocus. It would make me feel alive again. And it would help with pain. So, I could do the things I wanted to do. The goal was of course just to get me back into training, but as people know. It’s considered a hard drug for a reason. It continued, and it continued, and it continued.

Even though it sounds silly when I say it outloud. At first I had a handle on it. I could do a little each week. Then I’d get through all the training. I finally made it back to wrestling some almost a year later, but being on the road and beating my body up again. It led to me taking more and more. To the point I craved it more than food and water. But I was very good at hiding it. Especially considering now that I was back in wrestling. I didn’t want to get fired. However, it was when I lost Chasity or better known to the wrestling world as Shady Layne. That I just went off the rails. The company I worked for was shutting down. She was no longer with me. I became a heavy-heavy user.

Something, I couldn’t hide very well when Alessandra made her way back into my life. After all they do say at times it takes an addict to see an addict. She had her own hardships and things she went through. It’s not my business to talk about her life like that. But she had gotten herself clean and she saw all the signs in me. After a lot of screaming, a lot of yelling, and at one point even threatening to walk out of my life again. She let me stay with her for a weekend. So I could detox. I felt like it was better that way than going to a rehab facility and letting it be all over the wrestling world headlines. That was the toughest weekend of my life but I made it through. I battled those windrawls and those demons. I made it through the other side and never looked back.

Letting a little more of himself shine through than what people get to see on weekly programming. It was well received by the live audience. Lots of them clapping and cheering for him for his progress. Calvin simply waved to the crowd as if it didn’t seem like that big of a deal to him.

● thecapecrusader; GUY: That’s right. This is a true American hero! You clap for this man!

● thehighlightofthenight; CALVIN HARRIS: Hero? Not even close bro. I am no different than anyone else. We all have our issues. We all have our problems. I’m just someone that learned how to deal with mine.

● thecapecrusader; GUY: Huzzah! Like I said, a hero, but this brings me to my next question. It takes a hero to be so brave as to wear some of the things you do. Looking like you've been shopping inside HBCarter’s closet! Tell us where do you get these ... er outfits?

● thehighlightofthenight; CALVIN HARRIS: Well first of all. Nothing against Carter. He’s got some great taste. But, I highly doubt there is anything in that man’s closet that is going to be in my size. And secondly as far as some of the outfits go... You know there’s just some things in life that certain people do that no one can control or contribute to, and because of that. You just have to roll with the punches even if it seems ... totally not you or your character!

As soon as those words came out of Calvin’s mouth. He and GUY both looked right at the cameras, really staring at them with sarcastic grins on their faces. Letting the camera get a close up. Before GUY continued on.

● thecapecrusader; GUY: Shifting gears just a little bit towards wrestling. Out of all the promotions that exist out there. Some are big. Some are small. And some are just in between. The moment you decided to come back to wrestling in Sin City Wrestling was the choice you made. Care to tell us why? It’s been alluded to. But I feel like you are hiding something.

● thehighlightofthenight; CALVIN HARRIS: Brother, you’re just trying to get me fired huh? There’s a small chuckle. Mark, Christian. If you hear this. My apologies. But to make a very long story short. From the time I started to make it big in this business. I had constantly worked for promotions that I truly felt were set out to hold me back. World Elite Wrestling. Carnage Wrestling. Pure Amusement Wrestling. Although, there I was finding my footing... but suddenly, I’m in the main event and they close doors out of nowhere. Felt like it was more than a coincidence. And then I came here to Sin City Wrestling, the first time. I really tried to give this place a chance. I tried to leave the past in the past. It was just harder and I was paranoid if we are being honest with each other.

Yes, I won the SCW Heavyweight Championship. Like three or four months into being here. I had done it twice. Then the shift takes place where I’m being put up against someone I hate to name but it was Tommy Crimson. He almost felt like the shiny new toy. Felt like he was the one everyone was backing. It felt like I was old news real quick. Despite me giving my best efforts. And look, I get it. It was all a me thing. It was all something I had cooked up in my head. However, it was clear what Tommy was doing with some of the things he was saying. Some of the lines he was crossing. Yet, no one batted an eye. I started doing it and I was being singled out for it. To the point I just snapped. I broke every rule you could think of. I was the most unprofessional person ever. I mean I really crossed the big no-no line in this business and didn’t care. I was like what are they going to do? At the time SCW was closing up. They couldn’t punish me for it.

Needless to say Crimson ends up being me at Full Circle. Like I had expected, I said it was shady at the time. However, he beat me because I beat myself. I had truly gone off the rails. I was mentally unstable and it led to me losing. However, when Kristopher Ryans came in directly after the match and beat Crimson for the championship. Someone that wasn’t even part of the active roster at that point. Least, I don’t think he was. That really set off some emotions. It all looked fishy as hell to me. And I felt like I was constantly living in a business that was set out to make sure I didn’t succeed. And I didn’t understand, I’ve never been a bad wrestler. But again that comes back to the paranoia thing and just being mentally unstable. At the time I left the business. I really and I mean really hated wrestling. Wanted nothing to do with it and never thought I’d ever come back.

But they do say that time heals all wounds. Over time I fell back in love with wrestling, but that had a lot to do with the fact I was training this new generation. Seeing how eager they were. How much they wanted to learn. How much they care about the business. It made me feel something again after talking with my family. I decided that one last run wouldn’t be that bad. It’s a lot harder now at nearly thirty five after having five years off. But the reason I came back to SCW specifically is. I didn’t want that to be the last image of me. Even if I came here and ended up being nothing more than a job guy. I did not want people to remember me in wrestling and remember me in this company as someone that was the most unprofessional human being possible. I’ve had conversations with Mr. Ward, and I’ve apologized for my actions. Same thing with Mr. Underwood, but words don’t speak nearly as loud as actions. I can only hope that after seven months of being back. I’ve gotten a little credibility back.

● thecapecrusader; GUY: They’re better men than me. I’d brought your back just to tell you... YOUUUURRRREEE FIIIIIIREEEEEDDD!

His voice had picked up extra heavy and raspy. As it was followed up with a cheeky little grin from GUY. All while Calvin just sat there rolling his eyes a bit more.

● thecapecrusader; GUY: I know you’ve likely been asked a lot since the concept has come about and I’m sure you’ve discussed the match a few times. However, I’m curious to hear it for myself. How did this Internet Championship come about? And how did you feel the match with Braddock went back at Violent Conduct?

● thehighlightofthenight; CALVIN HARRIS: I am assuming you’re talking about the concept of the stipulations and opponents being decided by the Internet aka the Fans? Well, it’s simple. Because the wrestling world is an ever-revolving door. We see all kinds of things happen. Multiple times but with a new twist. I remember when the concept of the Television Championship was created many years ago. The entire concept was that it was the one championship you’d be seeing defended all the time on a weekly program. Since the World Champion was all over the world doing their thing. Couldn’t always be there and constantly having that championship defended was going to make it feel cheap. And then you look at SCW. They’ve got the SCW Roulette and Bombshell Roulette Championship. It has an entire idea, gimmick, and concept behind it.

Then there was the Internet and Bombshell Internet Championship. They were just there. How can we name them the Internet Championship and then have it have nothing to do with the Internet? It seemed a little silly to me. And to top it all off. I was wanting to see more people stand up and show out. I wanted to see people start bringing their best. No more just random title matches because people were too lazy to actually do anything more than the bare minimum. So, I sat down with Mark and Christian. Pitched the idea to them. They thought it was a little out there at first. A little strange, but they were down to try it out. And here we are. So far it’s worked. After all the fans let their voices be heard when they voted for Braddock to be the man my first title defense was against.

From the sounds of it. There were a couple of BRADDOCK fans in the live audience. Cheering pretty loudly for the mention of the man’s name.

● thehighlightofthenight; CALVIN HARRIS: It’s no secret. I’ve talked about it before. I was very thrilled that Braddock got his shot. I like taking on the new talent and being the measuring stick as far as seeing what they’re capable of. I think the fella is a little misunderstood at times. And I can say that because I feel like I misunderstood him. Heading into the match, I didn’t think he was as focused as he could have been. I felt like he wasn’t truly understanding of the situation he was in. But man as soon as the bell rang. He blind sided me with that sheer power and made me realize very quickly. The man was focused and that he did understand the situation he was in. Made me have to dig deep in myself to turn things around.

I know it’s been a bit of a viral moment following that match where I told Scott Oliver. The man hit me so hard I hit myself. It sounds funny, but man. I was not joking. That first time he hit me in the gut. I immediately regretted not wrestling on an empty stomach, haha. Dude is just a powerhouse, but on that night. It wasn’t his night. That’s not a shot at him. I just feel like right now. I’m starting to hit my stride. Getting into the groove now that I’ve been back in the ring now going on seven months. I’m sure there’s going to come a time and a situation where Braddock and I will meet again in the ring. I look forward to it, but for the time being. I’m focused on the future. Had a banger of a match at Violent Conduct, but now it’s time to look forward to what’s right around the corner.

● thecapecrusader; GUY: Braddock don’t want none of me. That’s for sure. Ya don’t get to toss my friend around like that and not deal with me. I was so close to coming out there that night.

● thehighlightofthenight; CALVIN HARRIS: And that man would’ve eaten you alive!

● thecapecrusader; GUY: Psht, that’s all cap! But... we’re starting to get to the finishing part of our show here today. However, I do have one last question before we transition into that.

● thehighlightofthenight; CALVIN HARRIS: Go ahead and shoot. What’s on your mind?

● thecapecrusader; GUY: We all know that no one truly ever retires. I mean look at you. You did it once and already came back. We’ve seen some Old Timer get a big send off. Just to show up in another promotion like three weeks later... WOOOOOO! Once again a cheeky grin crossed his lips. But, if you were to have a retirement match. Truly, it was the end of the line. That’s it for you. No more. Who would it be and why?

● thehighlightofthenight; CALVIN HARRIS: Unlike some people GUY... I don’t want my entire legacy ruined. So, I damn sure wouldn’t be showing up in a dump like Orlando three weeks later. If I had a retirement match. His grin was shining through as well. However, this question is a difficult one. Because there are so many variables involved. Is it a situation where I’m working with a company that would allow me to choose anyone? Would they want me to face one of their guys? Is that retirement here in SCW? Like I said, there are so many variables.

But if anything was on the table. It would be two situations for me. I am a firm believer that when you retire. You should go out on your back. It’s the ultimate sign of respect. So, I wouldn’t mind putting over a young guy. Someone that needed that extra push. Someone that would do something with beating me. Or, as crazy as it seems. Facing Michael one last time. We’ve done it twice in our careers. As much as he’s an old prick. He’s good at what he does. He’s had a hand in training me and helping me become who I am. So if his ticker was still beating at the time I call it quits. I could see that being a retirement match.

● thecapecrusader; GUY: Woooow! Just Woooooooooooow!

● thehighlightofthenight; CALVIN HARRIS: What? You asked the question. I gave the answer.

● thecapecrusader; GUY: It’s just crazy that’s the person you’d name. It’s not like you don’t have your best friend in the whole wide world right here before you. Who would no doubt give you the best match ever!

● thehighlightofthenight; CALVIN HARRIS: First of all. I don’t even know where you get off on calling us best friends. Have you ever heard me say that ever? No. And secondly, you claim to be a wrestler. Yet, there’s like zero footage of you anywhere when I look you up!

● thecapecrusader; GUY: Most people have never seen Batman, but he exists.

● thehighlightofthenight; CALVIN HARRIS: Batman is a fictional character!

Calvin was about ready to tear his hair out of his head. The live audience getting a quick out of what they were seeing right before their very eyes.

● thecapecrusader; GUY: And now this is the final segment of the show. We’re going to play a little game.

● thehighlightofthenight; CALVIN HARRIS: I’ve seen those movies and they all suck. Certainly not good enough to be having a tenth installment of their shitty franchise coming out.

● thecapecrusader; GUY: Silence! This is the game... I am going to name off a couple things. It could be a place, a person, a thing, so on and so forth. I want you to just say the first thing comes to mind. Like a word association game. Ready?!

● thehighlightofthenight; CALVIN HARRIS: Ready as I’ll ever be I guess.

Just off the grid and enjoying what I have around me.

There was some clapping from the live audience once again. It had appeared that they were loving the answers and the more of a behind the scenes look to the Highlight of the Night’s life. GUY restoring order as he spoke up.

He reached across the table to extend a handshake. GUY promptly leaned over and grabbed his friend for a tight hug. Calvin didn’t look exactly thrilled, but once the embrace was broken up. The Highlight of the Night stood up from where he had taken a seat and began to walk off the set. Of course the live audience cheered for him as he did so. Cameras then found themselves zooming back in on the host.

● thecapecrusader; GUY: If you ask me. This was quite the episode one huh?!

More of the live audience’s cheering could be heard.

● thecapecrusader; GUY: Huzzah! Well folks, I also want to thank you for joining me here today. I am looking forward to this new role I am taking on... as my quest to be SCW King continues in the background. Cannot wait to have more guests on the show. Peel back the cape and let you see what’s behind it. Until the next time a big purple dinosaur once said: I love you, you love me, we’re a happy family!

Following his send off message. The lights dimmed down in the studio as the theme song began to play once again. The live audience let it all out. Cheering and clapping as loud as they could. The cameras turned to show everyone in attendance while the credits rolled across the screen putting an end to the very first episode of Behind the Cape.

 

● LIVING UP TO A LEGACY ●

Los Angeles, California was such a beautiful city. It was a city where there was always something to do and a city where there was always such much life. Granted a lot of people that didn’t live in LA didn’t get the appeal. Even some people that did live in the city had grown tired of it. Though it could be said that those people were simply people that were negative and didn’t know how to enjoy what they had. Cadence Carter wasn’t one of those people and she enjoyed every aspect of Los Angeles. Even days like today, she still found joy. She found herself walking up a hill.

She had flowers in her hand and her Roulette Championship slung over her shoulder. As soon as she reached the top of that hill. Her eyes were gazing on an entire cemetery. A place where loved ones of people have been put to rest for years. Cadence found herself beginning to walk in a specific direction. The way she stepped and the way she had a direct direction in which she was heading made it known she had been here before. Not once, but quite a few times. After a few more steps Cadence found herself coming to a stop. Stopping directly in front of a rather large headstone to say the very least.

As she stepped forward for a brief moment, she place the flowers that had been in her hand on top of the headstone. Only for her to take another step back and then she proceeded to take a seat in front of the headstone. Folding her legs up in a bit of an indian sitting like formation. Removing the championship from her shoulder and placing it down in her lap. Looking at the headstone before her with a slight smile on her face. Despite this being a bit of a sad situation. Cadence was always able to find the positive in everything. Finding herself speaking up at that moment.

“ It’s been quite sometime since I’ve visited. ”

She lowered her head for a brief moment.

“ Kind of makes me feel like a bad person. It isn’t like there’s anything more important. It’s just that things are really starting to take off for me. So much in fact that I’m doing less and less with modeling. Doing more and more with wrestling. I know that will make you proud. Speaking of making you proud... ”

Cadence found herself reaching down into her lap where the Roulette Championship was sitting. She held it up and turned the front plate towards the headstone.

“ Everything is starting to take off because of this. I’m starting to make people see that I am much-much more than just a pretty face. I’m starting to force people to see that I can hold my own in that ring and that I’m going to be around for quite sometime. I’m starting to force those people that were haters to become believers in me. Sure, I know that I’m not going to convert everyone and I know that there’s going to be a lot of people out there that are still going to have bad things to say about me. That’s never going to change. That’s simply how the world works. I’ve come to understand that more than ever with being in this business. Point is, I’ve made it. There’s not a single person that can take this away from me. I just wish you were here to enjoy it with me. ”

Her face found itself starting to scrunch up into a little bit of a frown. It was sad for anyone to lose someone that they were close to. It seemed to be even sadder when they lost someone before they could share a big moment that happened in their life with them. Cadence slightly shook her head as she placed the championship back down in her lap.

“ Matter of fact I wish you were around for more than just being able to enjoy this championship victory with me. I felt there was so much still to learn from you. Professional wrestling was your life. From the time you were little until the very day you left this earth. You could have given me so much information on the ins and outs of the business. As a man that had been to the top of the mountain. You could have helped me mentally prepare for what I am going to have to deal with.
You’d give me tips on how to deal with the pressure.

How to continue to improve in the ring, as a champion, and so forth. There was much knowledge I could have gained from you to make sure that I did justice to the family name. But as much as you could have taught me as a wrestler. I know there was much-much more you could have taught me as being my other brother. I really wish we would have met sooner. I wish we would have a longer relationship than we did. I wish that you would have been around my entire life. Maybe that’s selfish of me. I’m not really sure, but I just know that I really-really wish we would have had more time together. ”

Nodding her head in a bit of a somber manner. Cadence found herself continuing to peer at the headstone that was before her. Deep down there was so many layers to this girl that no one knew about. No one in wrestling knew much about her personal life. There were even things that her girlfriend didn’t know about her. With those bright eyes still locked before her, she spoke up again. Submerging herself in this world that was just her and her deceased brother.

“ Kind of an example of just how unfair life can be at times. You grow up your entire life thinking you’re an only child. Then eighteen years later, you find out that you aren’t. That you have an older half brother and everything changes. Of course, I wanted to know everything about you. I wanted to know what you did for a living. I wanted to know if we had similar looks, if we had similar tastes, if we had anything in common, and if we didn’t what made us so different from each other. Boy, did we find out we couldn’t have been more different than each other.

However the one real similarity we had with one another is the fact we didn’t give up on our dreams or our goals. No matter how unrealistic they seemed and no matter how hard it would appear to get there. Nothing and no one ever stopped us from achieving our goals and our dreams. Not many people in life can say they’ve made everything they’ve ever wanted to happen to actually happen. We’re a special breed. I guess that’s why during your time, you had a lot of people that disliked you. More than people that liked you and makes sense why some people dislike me. But at the end of the day, I’m really glad we had that in common.  â€

That smile starting to cross back over her lips. Again finding that small amount of joy that she could in an otherwise pretty sad and depressing situation.

“ If you aren’t here to enjoy this with me. If you aren’t here to give me the proper advice going forward, and if you aren’t here to be that big brother I’ve always wanted. Then in my opinion I am left with no real option but to make sure that your legacy is remembered. Only way I know how to do that is to keep the name alive in the wrestling business. I need to make sure that as long as I’m wrestling. I never shame your name or the legacy you built for yourself. I have to be as good as you were. Which, I’ve got a long-long way before that’s ever going to be the case. But at the same time I refuse to give up. I’m going to keep getting better. I’m going to ensure that I am one of the best women’s wrestlers to ever compete in SCW. I’m going to be one of the best women’s wrestlers to ever compete in the business. A goal that might seem too hard. A dream that might seem impossible. To which means nothing to people like us. ”

Keeping that smile spread across her lips. Cadence found herself starting to get up to her feet, slowly pushing herself up. Once she was fully in a standing position. She reached out and placed her petite hand on the headstone looking down at it. Her gaze still looking at the engraving on the front of it.

“ In the end all I can hope for is that you’re looking down and watching everything that I do with a big smile on your face. As long as that’s the case then I know that I’ve done your memory and your legacy the right kind of honor. And when we see each other again. I hope to hear the words: “I’m proud of you” for they would mean the world to me. For now though, rest easy big brother. ”

Patting her hand gently on top of the headstone. Cadence then found herself turning around and starting to walk down the same path she had walked up to reach the headstone of her deceased brother. Bringing her hand up to her eye. Using her thumb to wipe away a small tear that had formed. There was so much in her life that she had already had to deal with at the age of twenty one that it should have broken her. Yet no one knew it and no one would ever know it as long as she kept fighting the way she has been. As long as she kept going forward and as long as she kept giving it all that she had. Going forward is what she would do, right back to the Arizona on Sunday. For all eyes would be on her once again as people would see if she was truly ready with her first title defense taking place.

● SLAYING THE DRAGON ●

Less than twenty four hours from now Sin City Wrestling would find themselves invading Tucson, Arizona. It would be the first time in two weeks where Mark Ward and Christian Underwood were back in control after the Queen and the King for the day had a chance to show what they were capable of. That being said in their first match back it seemed that they decided to give the fans a treat by having two title matches taking place. In the main event Crimson was scheduled to defend the SCW Roulette Championship. Then when it came to the other title match the SCW Bombshell Roulette Champion, Cadence Carter would be putting her championship on the line for the first time since winning the title back at High Stakes.

It was one of the matches that were becoming one of the most talked about matches of the week and it was a match that many people wanted to see. For the obvious reasons. That being said a lot of people were wanting to know how the champion was going to respond to the news of her defending the championship. Well that being said it wasn’t going to be too long at all before those people got a chance to hear from their champion. Cameras found themselves rolling in at that particular moment. Cadence found herself standing right outside of the very building she was set to compete in a day from now. She had that championship displayed on her shoulder and a bright smile on her face. She wasted no time at all beginning to speak and address SCW.

C A D E N C E ● C A R T E R

“ I am twenty eight days into my reign as the Sin City Wrestling Bombshell Roulette Championship. Twenty eight days in and I find myself set to compete in my very first title defense. To which I’ll be honest with you. I am a little surprised by this title defense. For a couple of reasons exactly. The first being that I am surprised that it took the company twenty eight days before they decided to have me defend the championship. ”

Taking a brief moment to pause. Letting it register that all of this was a surprise to her.

C A D E N C E ● C A R T E R
[ scw roulette champion ]
“ I’m surprised because I figured that there were people within the company that didn’t see me as a valuable champion. Maybe not so much the men in charge, but I figured that there was someone on this roster that didn’t see me as much of anything. Let alone as a great Bombshell Roulette Champion. Therefore I figured that that person would eventually get in the right ear which would then lead to me defending my title right away. Not that it would have been a problem for me. The moment I won this title from Samantha Marlow. I had every intentions of being a fighting champion.

I’ll defend the title every single week if that’s what it came down to. Did not make a difference to me because I want to prove just how good I am. Against whatever talent that SCW wants to throw at me. Whether they’re better than me, as good as me, or not so good as me. I’d been down to face anyone at any given time. To which kind of brings me to the second reason I was shocked when it came to my very first title defense as the Bombshell Roulette Champion. For the person I’ll meet in the middle of the ring at Climax Control this Sunday is the self proclaimed Dragon herself, Trinity Jones. ”

Cadence nodded her head a little bit. Trinity Jones was slowly but surely starting to make a reputation for herself. It was a slow build in getting her name out there, but at the same time it was happening. Right away it was a given that Cadence was going to find herself in a challenge. However at the same time it was a challenge that Cadence would accept and take on without a problem at all.

C A D E N C E ● C A R T E R
[ scw roulette champion ]
“ Now like I said, I’m down with facing every single woman on this roster. There isn’t a fight that I won’t take. But at the same exact time this came as a surprise. I figured that before Samantha Marlow chose to ride off into the sunset. That she would capitalize on a rematch. After all she is technically owed one after being the former champion. Not to mention when you look at the times the two of us had each other in the ring. It was a bit of an instant classic if you will. For whatever reason Samantha and I just clicked. In clicking the two of us ended up putting on one hell of a show.

The very first time we met in the center of the ring for the championship. I wasn’t as ready as I could have been. Now, I won’t make excuses or take anything away from Samantha. Like I’ve said before she’s a great talent and there is a reason she held the championship for as long as she did. But the truth was, I was not as ready as I could have been. Therefore because I made that mistake. Samantha made sure that I paid for it. She showed me how good she was and then made sure that my goal of being champion was stalled. She defeated me and showed me that I had a lot to learn.

That loss though did prepare me for the next time that the two of us did face each other. In which I made sure was sooner rather than later when I pulled out all the stops to win that contendership. Only to march myself into High Stakes and showed Samantha what I could truly be capable of. In the end it didn’t matter the stipulation and it didn’t matter what Samantha tossed at me. I was far too much for her to overcome and the gold went home with me. That left us at one win a piece. That’s a tie and to some people that wouldn’t make one person over the other better. To some people that leaves a lot of questions unanswered.

I happen to be one of those people. I have to question, what would happen if the two of us faced off one more time? Would I be the winner? Would I still keep this championship? Or would this be a situation where Samantha was the one that walked out with her hand raised in victory and the title right back around her waist? Is it a situation where I got lucky? Was my win a fluke? All of these questions with no answers. Which is why I expected that the two of us would be seeing one another in at least one more match. But it seems that retirement and riding off into the sunset is way more important to Samantha. Good for her. ”

Those few words that came out of her mouth was show casing the amount of respect that Cadence had for her. Granted there was a lot going on with he said/she said kind of stuff in regards to Samantha and Cadence’s last time in the ring together. At the same time based on what people were saying. It didn’t appear that Cadence felt the need to have anything to say about that situation. Seemingly moving right along.

“ That being said though, as much as I might have been shocked. I realize now what the goal is and what I am up against. You see for the most Miss Jones. You’re a little bit of a mystery. Not that there is anything wrong with that, but because you’re a little bit of a mystery. It’s kind of heard to judge what I am up against. But after doing the right thing and doing a little bit of research. I’ve come to understand that you’re not that much different from me. By that I mean, you’re a lady on the roster that is doing her best to find her way. In the sense that you’re trying figure just exactly where you fit in around here. Trust me as someone that has been in that exact spot. It’s not easy and it’s not very fun at all. To be quite frank, it sucks. ”

Cadence spoke with some real emotion in her voice. Nodding her head just a little bit as she spoke.

C A D E N C E ● C A R T E R
[ scw roulette champion ]
“ At the end of the day though as I am sure you’re starting to understand. That’s part of the business. You’re going to struggle more so in the early stages of coming into a company than you will in the later stages. Because by then you’ll have your feet up and under you. You’ll have thousands upon thousands of fans and you will have showcased your talent a numerous of times. Right now it’s just rough. I have seen some of those matches you’ve had Trinity and there’s no denying that you’ve got quite a bit of talent. You’re going to one day have a very-very bright future here in Sin City Wrestling. Heck, even if you choose to leave one day. You’re going to find a lot of success outside of the company.

However from an outside perspective Trinity. Allow me to give you a little bit of advice and that advice is simply this. In the year two thousand and seventeen. In today’s world of wrestling, it takes a lot more than being a great wrestler to go on to be one of the best and to become a champion. Allow me to elaborate on that. I get it, you’re this bad ass woman that is just a beast in the ring. But what are you doing to connect with the fans? What are you doing to make yourself more approachable by those fans? What steps are being taken for the company to put more stock behind you? What is that you’re doing to make yourself more marketable to Sin City Wrestling? Because from what I can see, you’re not doing anything at all. ”

She went from nodding her head to shaking her head. It was a shake of disappointment more than anything else. Her eyes remained locked on the cameras. It was like she was speaking directly to Trinity at that moment. Based on that Cadence was sure there would be some type of response to it, but she was far from done when it came to speaking her mind.

C A D E N C E ● C A R T E R
[ scw roulette champion ]
“ Now don’t sit there and think for a second that I am carrying myself to be better than you. Or that I am sitting here pretending that I’ve got all the answers. That’s not the case at all. I never consider myself truly better than anyone. Especially not when I’ve only been wrestling close to two years and I know that I’ve got so much more to learn. By no means at all do I have a grasp on everything. I myself and still learning quite a bit with every night that I step into that right. But at the same time what I have understood is that there is much more to wrestling than the actual wrestling part.

Like I said you’ve got to be approachable, you’ve got to make a connection with the fans, and you’ve got to put yourself in a position where you’re very marketable. That’s what the higher ups are looking for in SCW. Someone that can without a doubt help build SCW to that next level. The company is always in search of their next big star. Right now, I wouldn’t consider myself a star. I however would say that I’ve made a connection with many of the fans that show up. I would say that I’ve made myself as marketable as I can be. And I would say that I am one of the most approachable people on the roster.

But there’s also one other thing about me that I would say that does stand out compared to you. Every single time I touch a microphone or every single time I step between the ring ropes. I can draw emotion out of every single fan that is sitting in that seats. Speaking a couple of words and I can make an entire crowd cheer for me. By just a couple of moves in that ring, I can make people get behind me and root on my success. Even if things aren’t going my way. Even if I’m out there getting my behind handed to me. My connection with the fans is so deep. You can hear them chanting, rooting me on, and wanting me back in it. ”

There was a small trail of goosebumps starting to form on the back of Cadence’s neck. It’s like she could hear those people cheering for her at that exact moment. Truth be told there was nothing like having an entire crowd cheer for you. It was something that couldn’t even be put into words. It was one of the best feelings one could get out of the professional wrestling world.

C A D E N C E ● C A R T E R
[ scw roulette champion ]
“ Can the same be said for you, Trinity? And of course, I’m not being sarcastic when I say that. It’s a legitimate question to which I want an answer to. Because from an outside perspective and from what I’ve seen by standing outside of the picture. I’ve never seen the entire crowd in unison get behind you. Every match you have. You’ve got a few fans that will cheer for you and a few chants that are pulling for you to win, but those are the fans that appeal to your style of just being a wrestler. However the majority of fans don’t know what to make of you. The majority of fans are sometimes cheering for the wrong person. All because you’ve never made a connection with them or gave them a reason to support you.

And maybe in the end that’s your goal. Maybe just maybe Trinity, you don’t want a connection with the crowd. Maybe just maybe you don’t want them cheering for you. But at the same time I’ve got to be honest with you. Those fans that are in the stands every single night. They are what makes and breaks us. For a lot of people that is a very hard pill for them to swallow. But I realize things for how they are. If those fans like you, you can have one great career and one that might seem easy. But at the same time if those fans hate you. It’s going to be a lot tougher than anything else you’ve experienced and it will cause your career to stall at moments. Then it’ll depend on just how good you are to overcome all of that. ”

Letting those words come out of her mouth was a way to get Trinity to think about everything that Cadence was saying. She was doing her best to put things into perspective and doing her best to possibly get her opponent to think outside the box a little bit when it came to what she was going to be faced with in twenty four hours. Then again people weren’t going to listen if they didn’t want to listen. That’s something that Cadence herself had began to understand. Not everyone wanted to hear the truth and not everyone wanted to be helped.

C A D E N C E ● C A R T E R
[ scw roulette champion ]
“ Trinity, I am not telling you how to go about your business or how to go about your career. That’s not me at all, but all I am doing is pointing out the facts of life. Or more so the facts to how things work around here. If you don’t want to make a connection with the crowd and you want to take the hard road. Then by all means you go ahead and do just that. Though once again playing devil’s advocate here. I just got done saying that if you take that road. It’s going to be a tough one and you’re going to have to be pretty damn good to be able to overcome things.

And like I said you’re good. You’re a very good wrestler, but are you that good? Because as I’d like to point out. Your win loss record here in SCW hasn’t been the best. I don’t know how many matches you’ve won or how many you’ve lost. But at the same time I do know that you’ve lost way more than you’ve won. Sure, you’ve given it quite the efforts. You fight hard and you fight with everything you’ve got. In the end though it’s lead to a lot more losses than wins. So, the question I have for you is are you sure this is the path you want to go down? Are you sure that you really want to take the hard road over the easy one?

And in case just mentioning that isn’t enough to paint the picture for you Trinity, then I do have one last thing to get off my chest. One last little tid bit of information. I’m the Bombshell Roulette Champion for a reason. I’ve obviously proved that I’ve got some of the talent between those ring ropes. I can also prove that my win-loss record is just a tad bit better than yours. I’ve won more than I’ve lost. Then of course there is the fact that I do have those fans firmly behind me. The moment the two of us are in the middle of that ring with each other. Hundred to thousands of people are going to be cheering for me.

They’re going to want me to win. Nothing that you do when we step into the ring with each other is going to be well-received. By making yourself not approachable and not having a connection with the crowd has prevented us from being able have an instant classic. It has prevented the two of us from having the crowd rooting both of us on and has prevented us from having a possible five star match. It isn’t going to be even. It’ll be one sided. So, do you think you’re ready for that? Do you think you’re ready to have an entire arena rooting against you? And do you really think that you’re truly prepared to be in the ring with me? ”

That was a question that Cadence was asking, but it was also a question that a lot of other fans were asking. This was going to be Trinity’s first shot at the championship. It very well might even have been the biggest match of her career. Therefore was this a moment that she had taken the time to prepare for. Was this a moment in which Trinity had saw coming and did what she could to make sure she made the most of the opportunity. That was very much in the air and no one would know the answer to it until the two of them stood in the ring with one another.

C A D E N C E ● C A R T E R
[ scw roulette champion ]
“ If it were me and I had to answer for you. I don’t think you’re truly ready for any of that. It’s a different ball-game when you’ve got an entire crowd against you. I’ve dealt with that one time. In my very first match before I signed with SCW. Hearing an entire arena be against you and want you to fail is not something that is fun to deal with. It certainly does play a role on your mindset. They did get inside of my head and it did make me question myself. On that night, I had one of the worst matches I’ve ever had. Even if I did win that match. It was crap. It was sloppy and it made me never want to wrestle again. All because I let the crowd get to me because they didn’t like me. This goes back to what I said before. Those fans decide on a lot of things. Those wrestling fans have a lot of pull and they decide on a lot of things with this business.

Therefore being in that position before Trinity. I don’t believe that you yourself are ready to have an entire arena truly against you. I don’t believe for a single second that you’re going to adjust well to having those fans booing you all the way and cheering for me the entire time. That’s going to play a role on your mindset and it is going to beat you up in a mental aspect. It’s going to wear you down and it’s going to make you question a lot of things. Therefore proving my point that you weren’t ready for this situation just yet. Much like I think it’ll be a matter of time before you learn first hand that you weren’t truly ready to be in the ring with me just yet. Like I’ve said before. You’re good and I’m sure you’ll give it everything you’ve got, but will it be enough? In the end, I don’t think that’s the case at all. You’re not ready to be the SCW Bombshell Roulette Championship. ”

Standing there looking right at the cameras. Cadence began to shake her head from side to side. There was a very good chance Trinity might not have liked what she heard. There was a chance that she might have considered that to be disrespectful. There was even a chance that some fans would think that way too. At the same time though as Cadence had said in the past. She knows she can’t please everyone and she wasn’t going to try. Not to mention she shouldn’t have been sorry for what she believed in. Holding her head up high as she lifted the championship from her shoulder.

C A D E N C E ● C A R T E R
[ scw roulette champion ]
“ This is something I’ve worked hard to achieve. This is something I’ve wanted ever since I got into the wrestling business. And most of all this is something that I don’t want to let go of anytime soon. Therefore I’m going to fight with everything I’ve got to ensure that it stays with me. That’s not the type of fight, you’re prepared for. You think this is just another match and you think this is just another chance to prove yourself. But that’s not the case, Trinity. Instead this is the real deal. This is the big time and you aren’t ready for that. That’s why I can say when Climax Control comes to an end. I’ll not only be known as the SCW Bombshell Roulette Champion, but I’ll also have a new name. It’ll be the Dragon Slayer, because rather you believe it or not. You’re getting slayed on Sunday! ”

That confidence in Cadence’s voice seemed to stand out more now than ever before. After all she had told SCW several times before. She had to have confidence in herself. Because if she didn’t believe in herself then no one else would believe in her. It was that confidence that was making her a star in her own right. It was that confidence that had helped her secure a victories It was that confidence that helped her become the SCW Roulette Bombshell Champion. It was also that same confidence that could in fact play a role in her match against Trinity Jones. With the cameras fading to black, it left everyone wondering what was going to happen when the two of them did meet. It was going to be a match no one wanted to miss.

 

● BECOMING FED UP ●

“Get back up Cadence.”

That voice echoed throughout the old building as Cadence found herself lying flat on her back in the middle of the ring. She had just been shoulder checked by a large woman. On the outside of said ring stood Cadence’s girlfriend and trainer, Jasmin Marquez. The very woman that was parking orders at her. Despite her lower back being on fire. Cadence rolled herself over and started to make her way to her feet. This large and very tall woman standing in front of her. Proceeded to grab a hold of Cadence’s hair and finished yanking her up to her feet. Cadence’s tiny frame being lifted off the ground for that brief moment as she was in the grasp of this larger woman.

“Fight back, Cadence.”

Seemingly on cue Cadence found herself delivering a stiff kick right to the large woman’s thigh. The leg of the large woman buckled for a brief second. Right away Cadence brought her foot up and connected with another stiff kick to the massive thigh. That larger woman released the hair of Cadence for that second. With the spare moment where she had the upper hand. Cadence turned and sprinted towards the ropes. She hit them with force and came rushing back towards. The moment she got within distance. The larger woman reached out and snatched a hold of Cadence’s throat. Before the blonde beauty knew what hit her. This woman lifted her up into the air with ease. Attempting to connect with what looked to be a chokeslam.

In one final attempt to avoid a move that was surely going to put her down. Cadence swung her foot forward and delivered a nasty stiff kick to the shoulder of the larger woman. This proceeded to cause the woman to loosen her grip on Cadence’s throat as she dropped down to her feet on the canvas. Cadence wasted no time delivering another stiff kick but this time to the woman’s gut forcing her to double over. Spinning herself around Cadence charged to the ring corner. Lifting herself up onto the second rope. By that time she got in position the larger woman was starting to rush towards her. With one fluid motion Cadence leaped from the second rope, floating over her opponent’s head, and hooking her neck to bring her down for her signature blockbuster known as “All or Nothing”. Cadence was quick to roll herself over and pin the woman. Hearing Jasmin shout from outside of the ring.

“Stop there.”

A very exhausted Cadence rolled herself off her opponent. Breathing heavy as she pushed herself up to her feet. By that time Jasmin had rolled herself in the ring. Cadence was doubled over a little bit sucking wind in. The woman serving as Cadence’s opponent proceeded to roll herself out of the ring and began to walk away from the ring. Jasmin took a few steps towards Cadence, the blonde finding it in her to stand up again. Putting both hands above her head trying to control her breathing.

J A S M I N ● M A R Q U E Z
“And there’s the typical response I get when you know I’m right.”

Cadence just shot a slight glare in the direction of Jasmin. Course there was a small chuckle that left Jasmin’s lips. There was something about when Cadence got annoyed that made her laugh. She was such a sweet girl and barely let her attitude show, but when it did it seemed to be adorable. Then again there also might have been a tiny part of Jasmin that might have gotten a kick out of annoying Cadence. In that moment Cadence rolled out of the ring and started to walk over to her phone that sat on a bench.

t h e d y n a m i t i c b o m b s h e l l
J A S M I N ● M A R Q U E Z
“We’re not done here.”

t h e f u t u r e h e a d l i n e r

“I think all your social media followers can deal with you not posting sixty photos a day. We’re out here trying to accomplish something and make you even better.”

“Hush, it doesn’t have anything to do with social media.”

t h e d y n a m i t i c b o m b s h e l l
J A S M I N ● M A R Q U E Z
“Oh yeah. I believe that one.”

Cadence had began to ignore Jasmin as she lifted up her iPhone and unlocked her screen by tapping her passcode in. She was true to her word, her attention didn’t go to any social media account. It did however go to the notification that read “Sin City Wrestling” and had the email sign next to it. Tapping on the notification it brought up her email account and in that email it revealed just what she was going to be looking forward to in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia for the week. Her facial expression said it all, whatever she had just been told it wasn’t good news. Her nose scrunched up in irritation.

t h e f u t u r e h e a d l i n e r
C A D E N C E ● C A R T E R
“Ughh!”

Her frustration finally coming out in a verbal phone. Cadence proceeded to toss her phone down in her bag that sat there on the bench. Her facial expressions being consumed by that irritated look. Course her attitude was picked up on by Jasmin and just about everyone else that was in this gym. Sighing in sheer frustration, Cadence flopped herself down on the bench. Meanwhile Jasmin had rolled herself out of the ring and approached her a slight confused look on her face.

J A S M I N ● M A R Q U E Z
“And this is a bad thing how?”

The little details that Cadence was giving was surely going to confuse someone. Jasmin’s eyebrow was arched up and that confused look on her face seemed to intensify. Cadence’s attitude was still very much there. More so with Jasmin questioning everything, but it was clearly a matter of just being concerned and trying to piece it all together.

t h e f u t u r e h e a d l i n e r
C A D E N C E ● C A R T E R
“It’s a bad thing because of who they’ve decided to put me in the ring with. Amy-Jayne and Alice Knight.”

t h e d y n a m i t i c b o m b s h e l l
J A S M I N ● M A R Q U E Z
“Babe, I don’t really follow the product. No offense. I don’t really know who either of them are and I’m not sure why being in the ring with them would be a bad thing. You’re going to have to catch me up to date.”

t h e f u t u r e h e a d l i n e r
C A D E N C E ● C A R T E R
“First and foremost. Amy-Jayne is nothing more than a freaking mooch. She sucks money out of Sin City Wrestling week in and week out. She gets paid to just be a pretty face and doesn’t actually have in any ring talent. Maybe that’s wrong of me to say for someone that’s still a rookie, but she’s complete garbage. Not to mention, she no-showed against me. I know that people try and play it off as something different, but it isn’t. In our first one on one confrontation. She was nowhere to be seen. And the two men running the company thinks that should be rewarded? They think that she’s worthy of being in a contenders match? People that don’t work hard just get rewarded? Meanwhile someone who does work hard like me was overlooked for a few months!”

t h e d y n a m i t i c b o m b s h e l l
J A S M I N ● M A R Q U E Z
“Alright, well in that case I can understand your frustration with the girl and the situation at hand. If that’s a hundred percent factual then by no circumstances or reason at all should this lady be considered for a contenders match. That would send the wrong message to people that do work hard. It would send the wrong message to people that are giving it everything they got between the ropes.”

t h e f u t u r e h e a d l i n e r
C A D E N C E ● C A R T E R
“Week in and week out. I see them both mocking people on social media or they’re backstage mocking people. They seem to be fed up with everyone and their mother demanding a title shot, but doing very little to deserve it.  Then they turn around and do the exact opposite to what they’re complaining about. It makes no freaking sense!”

A very irritated sigh left the young girl’s lips. Each moment she spent speaking about the situation she was going to find herself on Sunday. She became more and more annoyed. She became more and more upset. She became more and more frustrated. Jasmin stood there for a moment slightly shaking her head.

t h e d y n a m i t i c b o m b s h e l l
J A S M I N ● M A R Q U E Z
“Cadence, I warned you when I started training you that in this business there were going to be things that didn’t make sense. I warned you that there would be things that were unfair. I warned you that there were things that were going to get under your skin, but I also told you that you couldn’t let that be shown. This is a situation where you just have to ignore what’s happening. Then go out there to do your own thing. Make the most of it. And if it goes the way you mentioned. Sounds like the girl might not even bother to give a crap enough to show for the match.”

t h e f u t u r e h e a d l i n e r
C A D E N C E ● C A R T E R
“First of all I can’t help that I get passionate. I can’t help that I’ve let this become something that irks me and gets under my damn skin. You see where I’m at. You see where I’m at every off day I have. You see me working hard, you see me busting my ass, and you see me doing everything I can to get better. I’m the epitome of what they claim they want. Someone that works hard, someone that gives it their all, and someone who doesn’t ask for handouts. But obviously, none of that really matters. And honestly Amy-Jayne being in this match is just part of the problem. Alice Knight is the other half.”

t h e d y n a m i t i c b o m b s h e l l
J A S M I N ● M A R Q U E Z
“Why is she such an issue?”

t h e f u t u r e h e a d l i n e r
C A D E N C E ● C A R T E R
“Because as far as I am concerned, she isn’t worthy of this position either. This is her first match. Yes, her first freaking match under the company’s brand. Her first match is a gosh darn contenders match. Like what the hell? I signed my name to a contract back in May. I went the whole summer taking on match after match. Before I was finally given a title shot opportunity, just last month. I was on this roster for three and half months before I was deemed worthy of a title shot. And this chick is here at max three weeks, and her first match she gets is a contenders match for a championship?! That’s complete and utter bull!”

t h e d y n a m i t i c b o m b s h e l l
J A S M I N ● M A R Q U E Z
“Well maybe...”

t h e f u t u r e h e a d l i n e r
C A D E N C E ● C A R T E R
“No, stop. There’s no way to justify this. It doesn’t matter where Alice might have been. It doesn’t matter what she’s accomplished elsewhere. Doesn’t matter if her name was selling out shows in other venues around the world. Much like it doesn’t matter who she is or isn’t affiliated with. When you walk into a new company. You start fresh. You go back to the bottom and you prove just how good you really are in a new setting. And if memory serves me correctly, you’re the one that taught me that.”

Sitting there on the bench. Her eyes shifted up into the direction of Jasmin’s looking her right in the eyes. The fire and the passion was very clear in Cadence’s own eyes. She was downright annoyed with the situation at hand and it fired her up maybe more than any other match that she had ever gone into before. However it didn’t fire her up for all the good reasons, but instead all the bad reasons and reasons that might end up blinding her when it matters the most.

t h e d y n a m i t i c b o m b s h e l l
J A S M I N ● M A R Q U E Z
“You’re right I did. And truth be told Cadence, I don’t know what else you want me to say about this situation. It isn’t right. It’s unfair in a lot of ways. Does seem like some favoritism is being shown. But at the end of the day, you’re only left with two choices. You either deal with it and prove them wrong about you. You go out there and make sure that you’re the one that takes the contendership. Or you just choose not to deal with it and be done, but I know that you’re not a quitter.”

t h e f u t u r e h e a d l i n e r
C A D E N C E ● C A R T E R
“No, I’m not a quitter. But I can tell you that each week that passes by. Each week that I see this stuff taking place. Each week that I see all this bull go down. It makes me start to believe that HE was right about SCW.”

t h e d y n a m i t i c b o m b s h e l l
J A S M I N ● M A R Q U E Z
“Wait what? He? Who the heck is He?!”

Cadence didn’t seem to engage in that question. She stood herself up, snatching her phone out of her bag right along with an all white towel. Placing it around her neck as she started to walk away from Jasmin. Based on that action alone, it would have appeared that she was done with today’s workout. Jasmin stood there looking more confused now than ever with her hands on her hips and looking in the direction Cadence had walked off in.

t h e d y n a m i t i c b o m b s h e l l
J A S M I N ● M A R Q U E Z
“Cadence, you know damn well you heard me!”

She had called out to the blonde beauty once again. Yet Jasmin was met with the same response in the sense that Cadence didn't have anything to say. She didn't so much as even bother to look back at her. Cadence found herself disappearing into the shower room. Over the course of the next few days, she was going to find herself feeling bitter and frustrated, but at the same time when Climax Control did take place she would have a platform to get all of that out of her system.

● IN FOR A LONG KNIGHT ●

It was exactly four eight hours until Sin City Wrestling would be taking over Australia with a special edition to Climax Control. It was going to be a night all about contenders. All night long matches would be held in order to name contenders for championships. A match was scheduled to take place to name a number one contender for the Roulette Championship, the World Tag Team Championships, the Bombshell Internet Championship, the World Bombshell Championship, and even the Bombshell Roulette Championship. Needless to say it was going to be a night where a lot of lives could change for the superstars on the roster. Not to mention, it was going to be a night that the fans of SCW didn’t forget. History making in some aspects.

In that being said at the request of a particular superstar. An official SCW camera crew was on hand. With the cameras finding themselves opening up and beginning to film. There was one person that the entire focus was on. That person just so happened to be the woman that referred to herself as a Future Headliner. Yes, that’s right the focus was on Cadence Carter herself. In her true form, wearing a belly shirt, yoga pants, and her snapback hat turned backwards. Her pink lips curled into a smirk when she realized the attention was on her. At the same moment she began to speak in an attempt to keep everyone’s attention and on this particular day, it was going to be for a good reason.

t h e f u t u r e h e a d l i n e r
C A D E N C E ● C A R T E R
“Ladies and Gents. Boys and Girls. Dogs and cats alike. We’re all here today, because I have something important to say. I think it’s something that you guys are going to want to hear. After all you’ve supported me all this time and I think no matter what in the end you’re going to continue to support me. That being said I’ve got a few things I need to get off my chest as it refers to this Sunday Night’s Climax Control. I am sure at this point. Everyone already knows that ya girl, Cadence is going to be involved in a Triple Threat match for the number one contender spot for Bombshell Roulette Championship. Yes, the very championship I competed for at Violent Conduct just a few weeks back.”

Pausing for that brief moment. That was a little painful for her to bring up. Deep down Cadence wasn’t over that loss and it might be a long time before she was ever over it. However it was in the past and she did need to look forward to the future. In fact the future was facing her just two days from now.

t h e f u t u r e h e a d l i n e r
C A D E N C E ● C A R T E R
“I can tell you right now as far as I am concerned there’s a lot of unfinished business between myself and Samantha Marlow. Therefore I don’t see myself coming up short. I don’t see myself not walking away with this number one contendership when Climax Control comes to an end on Sunday. But at the same time folks, I feel the need to be honest with you. I feel the need to not be fake and not to hide behind some ill-informed logic. Because despite what some of you might have heard or might have been told. When it comes to this actual match for Climax Control. I’m not the least bit excited for it. As a matter of fact when it comes to this match. I’m actually quite disappointed and I’m quite disappointed. You see my opinion is my own opinion and I get that, but in my honest opinion. Amy-Jayne and Alice Knight have no business being part of this Contender's match. They’ve got no business whatsoever competing for a championship, let alone a contenders match. The fact that they are is what disappoints me and is what frustrates me like you wouldn’t believe.”

Looking right at the cameras. For a brief second that bubbly attitude that she was known for having wasn’t featured across her expression. Instead, the sheer look of disappointment and frustration was there. There might even have been a small amount of shame in her face. Needless to say Cadence was driving home her point fairly early.

t h e f u t u r e h e a d l i n e r
C A D E N C E ● C A R T E R
“Now before people get bent out of shape and start assuming. By no means am I the type of girl to stand here and say that the number one contender’s spot should have just been given to me. By no means am I the type of girl to say that I should have just been handed a shot at Samantha Marlow and the Bombshell Roulette Champion. That’s not me at all. As a matter of fact I am someone that hates handouts. I firmly believe that no matter what it is in life. If it’s a dream or a goal of yours to be something, to have something, or to accomplish something. The only way you’re going to get it is by putting in the work. Giving it all you got until you’ve accomplished that dream or goal. I want to be a champion one day. I want to be a champion under the Sin City Wrestling brand, but it’s only going to happen if I put in the work to make it happen. However at the same time when it comes to this match. I feel like I should be in there with people that deserve this opportunity. I feel like I should be in the match with people that work just as hard as I do and people that are just as passionate as I am. I shouldn’t be in there with Amy-Jayne and Alice Knight whom, let’s be real shall we? They’re just getting a hand out. They’re just being given something without properly earning it.”

For a brief moment Cadence stood there shaking her head about to back up the statement that was coming out of her mouth at that moment. A statement that people would agree with, but also one people would disagree with.

t h e f u t u r e h e a d l i n e r
C A D E N C E ● C A R T E R
“And you see it’s situations like this why people don’t respect Mark Ward and Christian Underwood. You know I can name time after time where I saw Mark or Christian mock a member of their roster on twitter for demanding title shots or for demanding things without deserving them. They seem to be so annoyed by it. They seem to hate it. They seem to want to make SCW mean something and have proper structure, but they always end up backing down when they book trash like this. Please gentlemen. Tell me what has Amy-Jayne done to deserve a spot in this match? Because the last time I checked. You two had to hire a stunt double to actually go forward with the match with me a few weeks ago. And why is that? Well, that’s because Amy-Jayne decided that she didn’t want to show up and do her job. The job that she signed on for and put her name to the contract. Yeah, she decided to no show. Not only disrespecting the company, but disrespecting me and disrespecting the two of you. Why do you do about it? You reward her by putting her in this match? You reward her by giving her a chance to possibly earn a championship match? Are you guys just not paying attention or is there a lack of common sense going on?”

For a brief moment Cadence was showing a little bit of attitude to her. It was rare that this side of her came out, but it was starting to come out more and more as of late when it came to expressing herself. There was the mindset that insulting the boss's intelligence wasn’t going to do her any favors.

t h e f u t u r e h e a d l i n e r
C A D E N C E ● C A R T E R
“Trust me gentlemen. I’m not out here to slander your name or out here to be like others in the company showing a complete lack of respect, but instead I am trying to be the voice of reason and get the two of you to open your eyes up a little bit. Amy-Jayne couldn’t be bothered to show up to work to take me on in a match. What makes her qualified for this type of match? And on top of that you’ve giving her a basic freebie by putting her in this match that she didn’t deserve. Of course someone that’s all about glory, but not about doing the work to get there is going to show up and be part of it. Truth be told though, the moment Amy-Jayne was in violation of her contract she should have been handed her papers. Told to never come back and SCW would be clean of one more leech. They would be clear of one more person contributing to weighing this company down. But then again at the end of the day, what do I know right? I’m just some gal that’s been in wrestling little over a year and happens to work for you. My words, my opinions, and my thoughts when it comes to trying to make SCW a better place are overlooked because apparently I’ve got no idea what I am even talking about.”

She rolled her eyes for a brief moment. Now Cadence knew there was a slight chance that she was overreacting a little bit. There was a chance that she was wrong, but at the same time what she was seeing right now made her only see things in one light. However maybe now that she was speaking up and trying to do so in the best way possible, that it was going to be a situation that made people open their eyes and start to look at things from a different angle.

t h e f u t u r e h e a d l i n e r
C A D E N C E ● C A R T E R
“That’s just one of my gripes. The other being Alice Knight. Could you enlighten me? Could you inform me? Could you please tell me what it is that Alice Knight has done to deserve a contenders match of any kind? Because from what I’ve established. Miss Knight is brand-spanking new to our roster. What I’ve established is that Miss Knight hasn’t had a single match under her belt yet when competing for SCW? What I am beginning to understand is that Miss Knight is being handed - yes, that’s what it is. She’s being handed a contenders match in her debut match. But there’s not a reason for why this is happening.”

With her gaze on the camera Cadence proceeded to lift her eyebrow in a very questioning manner. Seemingly at this point questioning every decision that was made when it came to the match that she was set to take place in.

t h e f u t u r e h e a d l i n e r
C A D E N C E ● C A R T E R
“I take exception to this for a couple of different reasons. First and foremost, I take exception to it because I signed my contract for Sin City Wrestling in May of this year. For three and half months, I was put in match after match. Sometimes I did well and a picked up a win. Other times I did poorly and I ended with a big fat L. For those three and half months, I did everything that I could to build a foundation for myself and to show you guys what I was capable of. Something that I didn’t have a problem with. Like I already said I’m all about hard work and proving myself, but I take exception to it. Because I was put in that position and showed what I could do before I was ever given a true opportunity at gold. Meanwhile on day one this girl is just being put in the spotlight and that’s disrespectful to me. Heck, that’s disrespectful to every woman on this roster. Former champions and even the legends that paved the way for this division. Basically what you’re telling me and every other woman on the roster is that you don’t care about the hard work we’ve put in, you don’t care about how much we’ve proven ourselves, and you don’t care what we’ve done when you guys have a new pet project that you’re firmly behind after signing them that they’re literally more important than anyone and anything else. Honestly, that’s just a slap to all of our faces.”

Those eyes of hers were starting to fill up a little more with passion in them. Each word coming out of her mouth made Cadence sound like a woman that was bitter, but also made it sound like she was a woman that was trying to express concern. Her love for what she did and her love for the company was there, even if she didn’t like the way that things were being handled at this particular moment.

t h e f u t u r e h e a d l i n e r
C A D E N C E ● C A R T E R
“Now truth be told Mark and Christian. I believe that the two of you are legitimate good guys. I don’t believe for a single second that it was your goal to disrespect the entire Bombshell division. I don’t personally believe that you guys set out to disrespect me in any way, shape, or form. Instead what I believe is that the two of you were excited about a new signee and in being excited for that new signee you made a mistake by putting her in a match that she didn’t deserve to be in. But at the same time Alice, this kind of makes me wonder what type of woman you are. You should be able to see that this was a mistake. You yourself should be able to see that this isn’t right nor is it fair. Therefore you should have been the one to speak up. You should have been the one to say that you didn’t deserve to be in this match. You should have been the one to say that you actually want to prove yourself around the company. But that’s not what happened. Instead you decided to take the match despite the obvious and because of that. It makes me have a complete lack of respect for you. Because in taking this match in light of everything. That tells me that you’re okay with a handout and it tells me that you don’t have any respect for anyone that was here before you.”

Like the snap of the fingers Cadence’s direction changed. At this moment she was speaking directly to a woman that she was going to be in the ring within a few days and it sounded like she was going to get it all off her chest at this very moment.

t h e f u t u r e h e a d l i n e r
C A D E N C E ● C A R T E R
“Maybe because you’ve been elsewhere and because you’ve been champion elsewhere that you think it’s okay to just walk into this company with that mindset. However newsflash sugar, it’s not okay. And none of us care about where you’ve come from. None of us care about where you came from. None of us care about what you did before. None of us care what accolades you might have. All of that goes away when you came to SCW. It’s like a blank page and now you have to write a new chapter to your career. Way things should work around here is you have to earn your spots. You have to prove your worthy and you have to give respect to get respect, but sadly those values aren’t put forward which is why you’re in the position you’re in and it’s likely why you think the way you think. A mindset that’s going to eventually lead to problems for you, Miss Knight. See disrespecting this entire division is just going to gain you enemies and those enemies are going to eventually want to split your wig.”

That serious nod of hers came from her head. If anything those words came off as a warning more than anything. Something that Miss Knight might have be looking forward to the future.

t h e f u t u r e h e a d l i n e r
C A D E N C E ● C A R T E R
“At this point Miss Knight there’s nothing that can be done about the situation at hand. The two of us are going to be in the ring with each other on Climax Control. Amy-Jayne might be there, depending on if she decides to show up or not. But the fact does remain that the two of us are going to see each other and when that happens. I am not going to be talking. Nah, I’m not going to be venting about how you’re unworthy of this spot. I’m not going to be talking about how you don’t deserve this opportunity. In fact not a single word is going to come out of my mouth. Instead you’re going to have to deal with a woman that’s going to be out for blood and you’re going to have to deal with a woman that’s going to lay it on real thick. All for the chance of becoming the number one contender. Sure, I know that I might not have the experience you do. But at the same time I also know that I am going to put your back against the wall regardless. You’re going to be forced to actually prove how good you are in your first match. And I hope for your sake that you don’t come in their slackin’ cause if you do. I’m going to expose your fake ass. Not only am I going to expose you, but I am going to make Mark and Christian jump off the Knight train right away if you slack for even a second. So for your sake I hope you’re smart about this situation and I hope that you’re actually focused on what matters. Don’t look too far into the future cause that will certainly be your downfall.”

Once again the words that came out of the Los Angeles native’s mouth was making her sound more and more like she was warning Alice. Not that it was a bad thing, it did appear like it was solid advice. At the same time though it was showcasing just how much that Cadence actually believed in herself, even when everyone else didn’t seem to do so. Nodding just a little bit, Cadence let her eyes focus on the cameras once again as she spoke.

t h e f u t u r e h e a d l i n e r
C A D E N C E ● C A R T E R
“Sunday Night... You don’t need to be worried about winning the match. You don’t need to be worried about becoming the number one contender to the Bombshell Roulette Championship. Nah, the only thing you need to be worried about is catchin’ these hands. Cause I promise ya girl. Your in for a long K-night.”

Once those words came out of her mouth, Cadence offered a little wink towards the cameras as it appeared she drove the final nail in the coffin. In everything that she had just said, she had made it known that she believed what was coming out of her mouth and she let it be known that she was a woman that was not going to back down from her beliefs. Without another word said Cadence exited the view of the cameras leading to them fading to black. Those words were the last thing that the fans had to hold onto and it would make their interest in the match increase that much more. In the end someone was going to crowned the number one contender, but the question on everyone’s mind is who was it going to be.

 [ OUT OF CHARACTER: Trust and believe. It isn't ideal. I had ideas and wanted to do so much more, but I had to work later than expected tonight. Not to mention our schedules are about to be changed back next week, so I'm going to be working more. I wanted to get something up. Something is better than nothing in some cases. Apologize to staff and my opponent, but we all know real life comes first. ]



● BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR ●

The days were drawing closer and closer to Climax Control. Once again it would be Sin City Wrestling taking over their city of Las Vegas, Nevada and giving their fans a show they were never going to forget. That being said it was the first show that Cadence Carter was going to find herself on in the last couple of weeks. It seemed like she caught the attention of management after what she said last week right before the World Bombshell Championship match. Well that and the fact that she was on this so called list of girls Polly Playtime wanted to mix it up with.

Needless to say this was going to be an interesting match up and did put the young rookie in a position to see what she was capable of against a well known name on the roster. That being said thanks to social media. More specific thanks to the live feature on Twitter. Cadence found herself with her iPhone walking down to strip of Vegas. Taking in the sights but obviously at the same time a setup for hyping up her match.

C A D E N C E ● C A R T E R
the future headliner
“In the small amount of time that I’ve been part of the Sin City Wrestling roster. I can honestly say that I don’t have a true issue with anyone. Now I’ll openly admit that there are a few people on the roster that might grind my gears. There are a few people on the roster that might get under my skin. There may be a few people that do things that I do not agree with. At the same time I’m not one to judge and therefore I don’t allow myself to become annoyed or upset with other people’s actions.”

Her dark eye shadow really made her eyes pop out while looking right at the lens of her camera.

C A D E N C E ● C A R T E R
the future headliner
“In that being said it sounds like there might possibly be a small issue between myself and Ms. Polly Playtime. Why that would be the case? Well, that’s the question I’ve been having ever since it came out that Polly had this list of girls. From what I understand Polly had this list of five women that she wanted to get in the ring with. She had a list of five women she wanted to display her talents against. She had this list of five women she wanted to go through, in order to prove that she’s worthy of challenging for the World Bombshell Championship.”

Cadence gave a small little head nod. Almost like she was wrapping her mind around the whole idea and concept of this “list” that Polly had. Yet at the same time it was widely known that it was a big confusion why her name was even on that list.

C A D E N C E ● C A R T E R
the future headliner
“Trust me when I tell you, Polly. I’ve got no issues with you wanting to prove yourself to be worthy. I’ve got no problems with you trying to progress and to advance your career in Sin City Wrestling. After all I just said last week that I think the women’s division is pretty much a bunch of complacent girls that are just comfortable with things and aren’t going out of their way to try to reach great success. Therefore if you’re out here doing the grind girl. Go ahead and do you. If you’re out here attempting to step it up, then do you. I’m not going to be one to throw salt in your game. Go on, be great. Step it up and put the champ on notice. But with that being said putting me on a list of people you want to go through is just a tad bit offensive. It kind of almost gives me this mindset that you feel like you’re better than me. Which isn’t something that’s going to fly with me sugar.”

That last statement alone kind of made Cadence sound as if she was little offended by the situation she found herself in. Up until now it didn’t seem like there was another side to the Future Headliner aside from that bubbly hyperactive side. Though now it did appear that she could have a not so positive side, especially if someone had offended her.

C A D E N C E ● C A R T E R
the future headliner
“I’ll be the first to admit that maybe I’m jumping the gun here a little bit. For all I know this isn’t a situation where you’re being cocky and this isn’t a situation where you’re thinking that you’re better than me. Maybe, it’s nothing more than a situation where you want to have a great and friendly match. There’s nothing with a little bit of friendly competition. Yet at the same time this isn’t a situation where you’ve made that clear. Instead you made this list which you tossed my name down on it. With the purpose of going through me just to prove you are worthy of the title shot. Well, I’m not someone that’s just going to lie down. Hell nah, pardon my language here but mama didn’t raise no bitch. Therefore this isn’t going to be a situation where you’re gonna run straight through me sweetheart. Oh heck nah, instead this is going to be a situation where you’ve got quite the fight on your hands. A fight that just might be the one fight you didn’t want.”

Letting her eyes narrow a little bit while keeping them focused on the camera in her hand. Cadence was sure enough a feisty woman that didn’t lay down for anyone. That fight in her is what was making her one of the more popular women on the roster.

C A D E N C E ● C A R T E R
the future headliner
“And there’s a reason that I say that, Polly. It has been brought to my attention that on that list of women you wanted to be in the ring with them. You’ve faced four out of five of them. Also from what I’ve gathered, you’ve been rather successful in those matches aside from last week. You did end up losing the match to Sammie, but at the same time it could easily be said and argued that you had a decent matchup. You did hold your own. You didn’t win, but you did show what kind of competitor you were and what kind of competitor you can be. Then there’s this match with me and when it comes to this match with me. I’m the last person on your list. In being the last person on your list. There’s a lot of speculation going around that being in the ring with me is kind of the make or break for you. There’s a lot of speculation going around that if you don’t happen to win this match against me. Then Christian Underwood might just decide that you’re not worthy of challenging Evie Banng for the World Bombshell Championship. Losing this match very well could result in you losing everything you’ve been setting yourself up for. Meaning that this fight with me wasn’t one that was truly worth it in the end. Honestly, you should be careful what you ask for or wish for in some cases, cause when you end up getting it. You might not really like the outcome of it all.”

Pausing for that moment. It appeared as if Cadence was trying to be logical with everything that was being presented to the table. Polly was a woman that wanted the spotlight and wanted a shot at that championship. Each and every week she showed that with her courage and her own fighting spirit. But there was a good chance it was all coming down to this. If she failed the one thing she wanted the most might have been pulled away from her.

C A D E N C E ● C A R T E R
the future headliner
“You seem like a sweet girl Polly, you really do. So, I hope that what I said isn’t going to cause you to turn into a sour patch kid. Trust me when I tell you, it wouldn’t be a good look for you. But with that being said I don’t want you taking offense to what I said about this fight. I don’t want you to think that for a single second that I’m implying that I am better than you. That’s not what I am saying at all. In fact I’ve got no reason to ever imply that I am better than anyone. I am still new in the business. I’ve still got a bunch of things to learn. I don’t have a specific craft down yet, but in due time all of those things will be conquered. If anything I am going into this match as the underdog. A role that I understand and role that I’ve learned to embrace. Yet at the same exact time there’s a reason why I’ve been called the hot up and coming rookie of the women’s division. People see a lot of potential in me. People see a lot of promise in me. Something I take to heart and something that I take seriously for the simple fact that I don’t want to let anyone down. Which is why I can confidently say you’re going to have a fight on your hands.”

To back up her statement there was a small confident smirk that crossed the lips of Cadence at that particular moment. Many might say for a young up and comer to be confident meant that they were arrogant or even egotistical. That was not the case with Cadence, instead it was just the case of a young girl that was believing in herself when no one else would.

C A D E N C E ● C A R T E R
the future headliner
“It isn’t a guarantee by any means I’m going to walk out with a victory. All it guarantees is that when you knock me down. I am going to get right back up until you clean my clock and I can’t get up. Trust and believe that I know that you’re going to be hitting me with everything you’ve got. I know that you’re going to try your hardest to knock me down and keep me down, Polly. After all you’ve got it all hanging in the balance. You want a shot at that championship. Matter of fact you want a shot at Evie Banng so bad that you can taste it. You’re fighting with everything because of what’s on the line, but in the same token. I’m fighting with everything I have because I too have something to prove. I have to prove that I belong here. I have to prove that within time I’m going to live up to the hype of being a future headliner. I have to prove that one day I am going to be in the position to be facing the likes of Evie Banng. I have to prove that in time I am worthy of challenging for the World Bombshell Championship myself. More than anything I have to prove that one day I am going to be one of the greatest to ever step foot in the ring. That’s definitely going to be remembered way more than winning one match to get a title shot. No offense when I say that, but sometimes your goals need to be higher.”

With her free hand Cadence held it above her head. To indicate where the bar should be placed when it came to goals. Now there was a chance with each word that was coming out of her mouth now. It was going to upset Polly, it may have made her feel some type of way towards Cadence. At the same time though this was what Polly had set herself up for by basically indicating she wanted a challenge with the LA model turned wrestler. Cadence found herself locking her eyes a little more on her camera.

C A D E N C E ● C A R T E R
the future headliner
“Let’s be real shall we Polly? When the two of us step into the ring with each other. Fists are going to be thrown and we’re both going to be reaching down deep just to pull it out. We are going to give Sin City Wrestling a match that’s not going to be forgotten. Matter of fact Polly, we are going to give Sin City Wrestling a match that they rightfully deserve when it comes to this division. We’re not going to go out there and crap the bed time and time again like Crystal Millar. We are going to give the fans exactly what they deserve as well. We might be looked at as heroes to this division when it is all said and done. But with that being said I would like to leave you with some parting words. There was once an icon by the name of Babe Ruth and he was quoted saying: “It’s hard to defeat a person that never gives up.” Keep that in mind headed into this match. Cause you’re about to find out, just how true that quote really is.”

As soon as that last word came from her lips. She tapped the button on her phone that ended the live video for her twitter viewers. It was those final words that were going to stick out the most. Only a few days from the match happening and this video would be shared enough times that Polly Playtime would see it. Which would then in return make her ask herself the question of was it worth it? It would even make herself ask the question of what she truly got herself into come Climax Control. After it was done made more than clear she was going to have a fight on her hands. It was a fight that was going to put Polly in a position where she was literally going to have to fight with everything she had in her. If she wanted the shot at that title, because as far as Cadence was concerned. It didn’t matter if Polly got the shot or not. She herself had something to prove and she was going to do just that.

 

● GOT THAT CAKE ●
scene one

The sun was starting to beat down over the Los Angeles land. In fact the sun was at the highest point of the day which made it the hottest part of the day. Most people would have wanted to be inside where it was cooler and enjoying watching a TV or something along those lines. On the other hand that wasn’t the case for Cadence. She found herself outside in her sports bra and skin tight spandex shorts. She had her hair tied up in a messy bun. Her skin was glistening with sweat from her forehead to her arms to chest and back. Now from the looks of it she was in the middle of her work out.

She had her back turned to the back door of her house. Getting her form down, she proceeded to start squatting down. Being sure to keep her back straight and keep her behind pushed out with every squat she had made. Although Cadence had no idea she was being watched. She wasn’t being by just anyone though. Instead she was being watched by Jasmin Marquez. Although for those that knew anything about her life. Would have known that Jasmin was her girlfriend and partner in crime. There was a small smirk on Jasmin’s lips as she made sure to be quiet.

Taking a couple of steps behind Cadence as slowly and as quietly as she could. When she managed to get herself in position, Jasmin reached out and proceeded to give the blonde’s butt a firm smack just as she bent down for the squat. Despite those spandex shorts firmly fitting over her behind. The smack of her flesh sure did make it jiggle. Of course it took Cadence by surprise and made her jump. She was a little angry as well as frightened for that brief moment. Though the moment she turned around those two feelings went away as she saw Jasmin’s smiling face.

“Oh stop.”

J A S M I N ● M A R Q U E Z
the partner in crime
“Nah, it’s too late for that. You going to cut me a slice of that or am I going to have to just take it myself?”

Cadence’s face turned bright red over the words coming from her lover’s mouth. She just lunged herself forward at that moment wrapping her arms around Jasmin’s waist and gave her a squeeze. Course, Jasmin returned to embrace followed by giving the blonde a small peck on her lips.

C A D E N C E ● C A R T E R
the future headliner
“This is a pleasant surprise. I thought you were spending the day with the little one. Whatcha doing here?”

J A S M I N ● M A R Q U E Z
the partner in crime
“Giant Aussie came by to take him for a few hours. So, I figured I’d drop by as a surprise and ask if you wanted to go get some lunch. You know that is if you aren’t too busy for me...”

C A D E N C E ● C A R T E R
the future headliner
“Hey now. Don’t even start that. I’m never too busy for you.”

J A S M I N ● M A R Q U E Z
the partner in crime
“Oh, I don’t know if that’s true. Off being a big time wrestler now in the Vegas!”

C A D E N C E ● C A R T E R
the future headliner
“Shush your mouth! I would hardly consider myself a big time wrestler in SCW. I am basically unknown if we’re being completely honest. I’ve had one match and it ended in controversy. Wasn’t exactly enough to gain the attention of everyone or anything like that.”

J A S M I N ● M A R Q U E Z
the partner in crime
“Controversy or not. You won. That turned some heads. Believe me.”

C A D E N C E ● C A R T E R
the future headliner
“Maybe.”

Cadence shrugged her shoulders a little while walking on past Jasmin. She was walking towards the door that Jasmin had just come out a few moments ago. With Jasmin close behind, the moment Cadence opened the door. That blast of cool air hit her thanks to her central air. Jasmin had shut the door behind them both. Cadence’s journey carrying her on into the kitchen.

C A D E N C E ● C A R T E R
the future headliner
“Well those winning ways might be over as soon as this Sunday anyway. Might be back to the drawing board for me.”

She had reached for a glass out of her cabinet as she turned to her fridge to retrieve water. When she turned around Cadence made eye contact with Jasmin who leaned against the door frame of the kitchen.

J A S M I N ● M A R Q U E Z
the partner in crime
“And what gives you this impression, babe?”

C A D E N C E ● C A R T E R
the future headliner
“Rumor has it. I am up against a former multi-time champion. Therefore as the rumor goes, she’s pretty darn good and it definitely sounds like I’m out of my element. Sounds like my back is going to be against the wall.”

J A S M I N ● M A R Q U E Z
the partner in crime
“So? Who cares if she’s held championships before? That doesn’t mean for a single solid second that you’re not capable of climbing into the ring with her and holding your own? I’m the one that helped train you. I know how hard you work. I know you better than anyone else. There’s nothing that tells me for a single second you couldn’t do well.”

C A D E N C E ● C A R T E R
the future headliner
“Eh, it might be more to it than that sugar. It isn’t like it’s actually going to be just her and I out there. I’m basically in a handicap match all night long without it actually being a handicap match.”

J A S M I N ● M A R Q U E Z
the partner in crime
“Huh?”

C A D E N C E ● C A R T E R
the future headliner
“From what I understand. My opponent has this group called the Mean Girls.”

J A S M I N ● M A R Q U E Z
the partner in crime
“Mean Girls? Yeah, that’s real original.”

For that brief moment Jasmin just rolled her eyes. Really driving home the point that she wasn’t very thrilled with the name of this group of people Cadence would find herself.

J A S M I N ● M A R Q U E Z
the partner in crime
“So help me god. If you tell me your opponent’s name is Regina George. I’m going to withdraw you from the match myself.”

C A D E N C E ● C A R T E R
the future headliner
“Nah fam, it’s not. You need to take a chill pill, haha. But the point I was making is apparently my opponent has this group and it’s common knowledge wherever one of them goes. The rest of them follow. I’ve managed to put two and two together. It sounds like I’m going to be fighting more than one person all night long. That is eventually going to catch up to me.”

J A S M I N ● M A R Q U E Z
the partner in crime
“From the sounds of it. You need some backup. I’ve got no problem taking a Sunday off from being a Mom and coming in to watch your back. I might actually manage to release from stress by being able to punch a couple of superficial girls in the face.”

C A D E N C E ● C A R T E R
the future headliner
“Appreciate the offer love. Truly do, but I honestly think this is something that I have to go through on my own. I feel like this is going to be a test to my ability to fight and it’ll be a test to see just how much heart I truly do have.”

J A S M I N ● M A R Q U E Z
the partner in crime
“And you expect me to just be okay with you going into a situation where the fight might not be fair? Have you lost your damn mind?”

C A D E N C E ● C A R T E R
the future headliner
“Never said you had to be okay with it, but here’s a newsflash babe. In this situation there’s isn’t much you can do about.”

A cute smile formed over Cadence’s lips as she took a small sip from her glass of water. Course the look on Jasmin’s face said it all. She really didn’t too much care for the words of her girlfriend.

C A D E N C E ● C A R T E R
the future headliner
“So, yeah about this food thing. We going to make that happen or nah?”

J A S M I N ● M A R Q U E Z
the partner in crime
“You’re lucky I love you.”

C A D E N C E ● C A R T E R
the future headliner
“How could anyone not love me?!”

J A S M I N ● M A R Q U E Z
the partner in crime
“Trust me you make it hard sometimes.”

C A D E N C E ● C A R T E R
the future headliner
“Pfft!”

Cadence rolled her eyes a little bit at the comment. She placed the glass of water down on the counter before walking on out of the kitchen. Jasmin watched as she walked away from her with such sass in her step. Obviously, Cadence wasn’t going to go to lunch looking like a hot mess. Along with that it would have appeared as if the woman didn’t want to focus too much more on a situation that involved her match coming up until it actually happened. Least she was able to acknowledge the fact that she was going to be in for a challenge and a challenge she was ready to take on.

● BOO, YOU WHORE ●
scene two

Two weeks ago there was a young woman that made her debut to the Sin City Wrestling roster. A young woman that was full of life and had ambitions. A young woman that was very much focused on having a bright future. This young woman had actually had a successful debut match and came out with a victory, despite there being some controversy around said victory. That woman just happened to be none other than the so called “Future Headliner” herself, Cadence Carter. After her successful debut, there were a lot of people that were saying that Cadence did in fact have a bright future under the SCW banner.

As long as she remained on track and never lost focus. Now just two weeks later SCW and the rest of the world is about to see if  Cadence had some beginners luck. Considering that she is going to be put to the test in just her second match with the company. On Climax Control, she is going to be put in the ring with Veronica Taylor. A former multi-time champion and one of the staples to the Women’s Division. Needless to say it was going to be a long night for her, but it was a challenge she was willing to take on for Cadence wasn’t one to back down.

On this particular evening Cadence found herself in her hotel room. She was out in Long Beach, California and it wasn’t that far from home. Sitting on the bed of the room and her eyes were glued to the television. The iconic movie known as “Mean Girls” was playing. Thing was as much as she was enjoying this movie. There was a reason for it and she wasn’t exactly alone. Thanks to a personal camera crew being on hand and recording what the young woman was doing. On the TV the words: “I can’t go, I’m sick.” could be heard. Then just as the next line was set to come out of the infamous Regina George’s mouth. It was Cadence that spoke up and could be heard.

C A D E N C E ● C A R T E R
the future headliner
“Boo, you whore!”

That very next moment Cadence had turned her head around and allowed her eyes to lock on the cameras. Her sweet and yet very innocent smile starting to form on her lips.

C A D E N C E ● C A R T E R
the future headliner
“You know when I signed my name to the dotted line I had been hearing a lot about the so called “Mean Girls” that were part of the Sin City Wrestling roster. I had heard about the awful things that they have done, I had heard about the horrible things they’ve said, and it was described to me that they were known to make people’s lives hell. Specifically the women that were on the roster that decided not to be apart of this Mean Girls’ revolution. In knowing that I knew that there was going to be a time and a place, where my path was going to meet one of theirs and when that day came. I knew that a decision was going to have to be made on my behalf.”

Pausing for a very short moment. She let those words seem to register with all of the fans that would eventually see this video. Although it was more so to let it register in the mind of the Mean Girls for she had no doubt in her mind that they too would be seeing this video and paying extra close attention to what would come from her mouth.

C A D E N C E ● C A R T E R
the future headliner
“I would be in a position where I would have to decide if I wanted to be with the Mean Girls or if I wanted to be against the Mean Girls. Now, I don’t mean that I would actually be with the Mean Girls. Don’t mean joining the group or anything like that. I just mean I would have to decide if I wanted to be with them in the sense that I would believe in what they believe in. Support what they support. Be someone that kind of just hangs out and agrees with whatever decisions that they make. If I went that right, there was a very good chance I’d be safe. There was a very good chance that the Mean Girls wouldn’t mess with me, they wouldn’t target me, and they wouldn’t make fun of me or have bad things to say about me. It also meant there was a chance I wouldn’t be on the end of a very unfair beatdown. But then at the same time if I chose to be against them, then I knew that all hell would break loose and I’d forever be an enemy in their book.”

She stood there nodding her head a little bit. Honestly not too many people would give her much credit because she wasn’t as experienced in the ring as others, but there was one thing she did have working for her. Her intelligence, her mind, and her overall ability to use what most people didn’t use: common sense.

C A D E N C E ● C A R T E R
the future headliner
“And here I am now in that situation. I openly admit that I didn’t see myself being in this situation so early on, but none the less this is what it is and therefore a decision has to be made. It has to be made as I gear up to climb into the ring with Veronica Taylor. One that many would call the original Mean Girl. Well, with that being said and being in a situation where a decision had to be made so quickly. I went with what I felt was right. I went with my gut feeling. I went with who I am. Therefore I proudly announce that when I get in the ring with Veronica Taylor. I will not be WITH the Mean Girls, but instead I’ll be AGAINST the Mean Girls and I’ll be aiming to TAKE the leader down!”

Sure enough there was a smile on the young woman’s face that resembled her proudness. Course in her mind she was doing the right thing, but to others she was doing the wrong thing. However Cadence wasn’t one that based her decisions off others, but instead she based her decisions of her own thoughts.

C A D E N C E ● C A R T E R
the future headliner
“I have prepared myself to go ahead and be an enemy for life when it comes to the Mean Girls. That is something that I am perfectly okay with. I have always been a woman that did what she felt was right. I’ve always been a woman that has always went with against the grain. Often times I have gone against the popular decision, which is exactly what I am doing here. So with that being said Veronica Taylor, allow me to address you and allow me to address the situation that we’re going to find ourselves in come Sunday Night. I do not support anything you do. I don’t support anything that your so called friends do. I don’t support the Mean Girls in any capacity. In fact I see what you do as pathetic, weak, and petty. To which is going to upset you, as well as make you want to paint a large target on my back. I welcome that Veronica. Much like I welcome anything that you’re going to bring to the table when we face off. Because as you’re about to find out there is no quit in me.”

What had come out of Cadence’s mouth at that particular moment was in fact the truth. In her debut match it showed that she was a fighter. No matter how many times she got knocked down, she got back up. Cadence had heart and she would never quit. That was going to provide quite the issue for Veronica soon enough.

“Now as much as you will point out that I am not as experienced as some of the women you’ve been in the ring with. As much as you’re going to say, think, and believe that I am naive. You’re not as on point as you might think mama. I might not be very experienced in the ring, but you’re not going to just walk all over me. Much like I am not as naive as you think I am. I am more than aware of what I am dealing with. I am more than aware that you’re a woman that has achieved a lot of success here in Sin City Wrestling. After all you’ve held the Bombshell Roulette Championship. You’ve held the Bombshell Tag Team Championships on two different occasions. That tells me what I am up against Veronica. I’ve done the research that needed to be done. I’ve prepared myself for what I could be against. Now granted you have held a championship in a little while. As well as it seems that the Mean Girls are slowly starting to decline. But the fact is you are capable of some impressive things. Including finding a way to beat me.”

Again there was a pause from the woman. For it did appear that Cadence was giving credit where credit was due. Not that it was much of a surprise for she was a woman that was respectful.

“I am no fool, Veronica. I am more than aware of what you’re capable of in that ring, but at the same time. I also know that when the two of us step into the ring with each on Sunday night. You’re not going to be out to prove that you’re better than me. You’re not even going to be out to defeat me... at least not in the right way. See, you’ve got all the ability in the world to make it happen. Yet, you aren’t going to do it. Instead what you’re going to do Veronica is you’re going to depend on every single woman in the Mean Girls. Instead, you’re going to make sure that they’re at ringside. You’re going to make sure that that they’re going to have specific instructions to distract me or distract a referee any time an opportunity presents itself. You’re going to give them specific instructions that anytime the opportunity presents itself for them to hit me from behind. To attack me, to weaken me, and to do everything that they can in order to give you the upper hand.”

Cadence found herself shaking her head from side to side at that moment.

“Which to be honest with you, Veronica. That’s a little disappointing as far as I am concerned. You’ve got all the tools in the world on your own to be good or to be successful, but in the end you’re going to want to cut corners. I won’t sell myself short, because I know I have a ton of heart and I know I’ve got a lot of fight in me. But by all statistics and by all technicalities, basically on paper, it would say that you would have no problem beating me. On paper you’re the one with the upper hand. On paper, people would place more bets on you going the distance and winning than they would put on me. Although I get that. It’s the whole logic with me being a “rookie” as so many would put it. Yet even with me pointing that out to you, Veronica. You’re going to cut corners. You’re going to cheat. You’re going to do everything you possibly can to end up with a win in the most under handed way possible.”

Once again Cadence stood there shaking her head from side to side. It was obvious that she was truly disappointed about the situation at hand.

“At the end of the day though, because I am more than aware of how you’re going to carry yourself and how you’re going to do business. That has given me the time to prepare. That has given me the time to understand what I am going to be up against. That has given me the time to come up with certain strategies for our matchup, Veronica. Now while I won’t be foolish and tell you what my plan is. What I will tell you is that what I’ve come up with in my head is eventually going to lead to the two of us being in the ring by ourselves. It’ll eventually lead to every last Mean Girl being non-existent for the closing moments of the match. It will lead to you being put in a position where you’re going to have to show what you are capable of on your own. Yet at the same time it’ll also put me in a position to take you down. It’ll put me in a position to show Sin City Wrestling what I am capable of and it’ll put me in a position to pull off the single biggest victory of my career to date!”

That smile started to form over Cadence’s lips once again. Seemingly enjoying herself at that particular moment. At least enjoying herself in the sense of being able to get this all off her chest.

“It is obvious that Veronica, you like to play the role of Regina George in SCW. You think you’re just the biggest and baddest bitch that has ever hit the ring. But if you ever watched the movie Mean Girls, you would know that eventually in the end Regina George gets exactly what is coming to her. Eventually all the people that hurt Regina, she got a little bit of payback from all of them in one way or another. So, allow me to say it here first. Pay close attention to what comes out of my mouth. Come this Sunday at Climax Control, You’re going to get what’s coming to you, Veronica!”

Sure enough those words were going to be words to pay attention to. They were words that were going to stick out and they were words that were going to make Veronica Taylor wonder what was coming to her at Climax Control. Now while Cadence wasn’t exactly malicious or anything of that nature. She on the other hand was a woman that was all about proving herself and she was all about showing what she was capable of doing when everyone else was willing to sleep on her. With the cameras fading out at that moment. It left everyone else to wonder what was going to go down.
