Harpin’ On With Harper, Wondering Around the Ruins of Troy, Turkey
Monday the 13th of May 2024, 14:00pm
(on camera, start vlog)
The vlog starts with Harper checking out the ruins of Troy, wondering around the area.
”The ruins of Troy, a UNESCO World Heritage Site open to the public, you know I don’t think the folks at UNESCO ever envisioned that this place would be the site of a wrestling event but then again, same can be said for Hastings, Normandy and Arras, France.” Harper shakes her head before folding her arms. ”But enough about the present day because Troy is easily the most ancient of the battle locations SCW is visiting on this tour, to the point that the story of Troy is almost Mythological really! And if you don’t know the story then what rock have you been under? The story of Achilles alone invented a whole trope.
Which is fitting I guess, because this Sunday I’ve gotta find the Achilles Heel of none other than the World Bombshell Champion!”
Harper lets out a deep breath.
”Let’s get right down to brass tacks, this match against Kayla is the biggest of my career to date! Yeah, it’s non-title but it’s still a Main Event against the top champion of the Bombshell Division and I have faced former World Bombshell Champs before, Courtney, Mercedes, Sam, Crystal, I’m sure they’ll find a way to book me against Seleana at some point but until then? That’s a pretty impressive list of Bombshells I’ve beaten, isn’t it Kayla?” “Granted a few of those wins were tainted, my first win over Mercedes, the wins over Courtney and Sam, and off course my loss to Bea Barnhart which I’m sure Kayla is just dying to bring up!
I said it once, and I’ll say it again, Bea is not better than me! That old bitch had to cheat to get the win over me and I’m still waiting for a return match! But more to the point, people already have me pegged as the underdog heading into the match with Kayla, she’s the top champion, I’m the premier rookie of the Bombshell Division, the one who’s racked up some impressive wins in the months that followed her SCW debut, the one who has only ever challenged for a title once in her SCW career and it’s Kayla’s favourite title, the Bombshell Roulette Championship! And yes Kayla, that was sarcasm!
So what’s the deal Kayla? Are you viewing this as a glorified warm up for your rematch with Julianna at Into the Void? Are you annoyed that the bosses couldn’t throw you one of the names I listed above? If the answer was yes to both, tough shit! You’ve instead got a rookie bombshell who was trained by Team Hero, was a standout high school wrestler and a black belt in taekwondo! I know you incorporate Martial Arts into your wrestling style Kayla and I guess it boils down to one question at the end of the day.
Can the rookie who’s not even twenty and has just over a year of experience under her belt score the upset of the year and beat the World Bombshell Champ? One way to find out!”[/color][/b]

Harper’s Hotel Room, Hissarlik, Turkey
Tuesday the 14th of May 2024, 14:00pm
We see Harper sitting in her hotel room browsing the internet on her laptop, the upcoming match against Kayla Richards was on her mind.
”I entered the Blast from the Past Tournament to get experience and I was pinned in my one and only match.” Harper muttered to herself as she checked her Facebook page. ”How the hell did that qualify me for a non-title match with Kayla? I guess it’s better than running Kayla vs. Ariana for the millionth time which they’ve already done.” Harper shook her head before something caught her eye. ”Lorna Shore are touring the US with Whitechapel, Kublai Khan and Sanguisugabogg and there’s a Las Vegas date in October?! God I hope SCW doesn’t have a tour planned for that week! Then again I can fly back and forth easily with my EWC pay check so maybe it won’t be that bad? What’s the likelihood of SCW doing an interdimensional tour?”
Harper’s musings were cut short when she got a Facebook messenger call and checked it, it was one of her trainers Keira and she immediately answered it. “Hey Harper! Enjoying your first international tour with SCW?” Keira greeted her when the call started and Harper grinned. “I know your Blast from the Past plans didn’t work out but this is a good opportunity to wrestle in front of international audiences.”
”At least until SCW returns to the US! But yeah, I’ve been loving it.” Harper responded as she leaned forward. ”Getting to wrestle on the beaches of Normandy was cool and I learned a bit more about my family’s history, and getting to spend time in France was cool.” Harper let out a deep breath. ”And then we have this week’s match.”
“Yeah, I saw the card, and I’m sure you have more than a few thoughts about this match with Kayla.” Keira nodded in response and Harper sighed. “On one hand, it’s a Main Event non-title match, and I believe your first ever in SCW.”
”Yeah, it is, I’ve opened shows twice, once in my debut match and again at the start of the year, I’ve never even been in a Semi-Main Event! The closest I got were my rematch against Crystal and my match against Tempest.” Harper responded as she let out an exasperated sigh and Keira nodded. ”I don’t know Keira, it kinda feels like I’m being thrown to the wolves here, and I don’t mean Kayla’s tag team with Finn either.”
“I can see why you feel you feel that way Harper but me and Roxi have trained you for moments like these, Kayla will view this as a walk in the park, it’s up to you to prove her wrong win or lose.” Keira added as she leaned back. “Off course there’s my history with Kayla as well.”
”Oh yeah, you beat Kayla to achieve the grand slam right after she won the Internet Title for the first time.” Harper remembered with a nod as she thought back. ”Kayla got the title back at that year’s Violent Conduct but you were ready to call it a day then and there, until that whole business with Krystal last year.”
“In wrestling only two things are certain, egos are gonna get bruised to hell and back and retirements rarely stick! Off course, this time I’ve got my pregnancy to keep me out of the ring.” Keira nodded in response and Harper grinned a bit. “Kayla is brutal in the ring, literally anyone who’s wrestled her could tell you that, I beat her yes, but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t battered and bruised afterwards.”
”Trust me, I’ve seen her matches, I know.” Harper responded with a grunt as she let out a deep breath. ”But how am I supposed to beat her? Math Kayla’s brutality? You know that isn’t my style in non-hardcore matches Keira and unless the card’s been updated when I wasn’t looking? This is just a regular match.”
“That might be your only chance, I told you that not everyone was going to treat you with respect when you joined Hero Academy Harper and Kayla definitely won’t.” Keira advised Harper and Harper hesitated. “I know you don’t like the idea but you have to get out of your comfort zone sometimes, especially if you plan on challenging for the Roulette Title at some point, you’re one of my best students Harper, you’ll figure it out.”
”Yeah, maybe, until then all I can do is focus on figuring out how to counter Kayla’s offence.” Harper responded with a nod before she got a text and checked it. ”Josh wants to meet me in town for some training so I’ll have to call it here Keira.”
“Off course, but just try to remember what I said Harper.” Keira nodded before she ended the video call and Harper closed her laptop before leaving the hotel room.
Harpin On With Harper, wondering around Hissarlik, Turkey

(on camera, start vlog)
As Harper starts her second Vlog the young Bombshell clearly has a lot on her mind.
”Kayla? I don’t know if you’re going to watch my Vlogs or nots because it’s pretty clear to me that you see this as nothing but a warm up match before your highly anticipated rematch with Julianna.” Harper commented as she sat down on a bench with her iPhone in hand. ”I would’ve thought you’d have learned to stop underestimating the other women in the division by now but I digress! I know you’re a brutal competitor in the ring and I’m beginning to worry that I might have to become something I’m not just so I can beat you.
In other words? I might have to try to match your brutality with my own, I’m not even sure if I have it in me but I can see no other way I can win this!”
Harper lets out a deep breath.
”I mean, in theory I should be able to pull this strategy off, I’m a martial artist with a black belt in Taekwondo and in high school I was a high school wrestling standout, on top of that, I was trained by a woman who’s beaten you Kayle, the one who ended your first Internet Title Reign, I’m sure you remember it.” Harper added as she brushed some hair over her shoulder. ”Who knows? Maybe the premier rookie who happens to be Keira’s top student will be the one to deal you your first loss of the year Kayla? And with only a few weeks to go before Into the Void? How will that help your chances of retaining the title in the match with Julianna I wonder?
Let me make one thing clear though, at this stage of my SCW career I have no aspirations for the World Bombshell Championship, hell I haven’t even won the Roulette Title yet, it’s like I said, I entered the Blast from the Past Tournament to get experience, if I won? Great! But that’s off the table now, isn’t it? I can at least take solace in the fact that the team that beat me and LJ got knocked out in the Quarter Finals but I still found myself in a non-title match with the champion!
Yeah, I have impressive wins over former champions, keyword there is former, against current champions? Well Bobbie just lost the title but it’s not like my title match against her went as planned! But who knows? Maybe a miracle will happen?”

Turkish Countryside
Tuesday the 14th of May 2024, 15:15pm
Harper was busy training in the Turkish countryside with Josh ahead of her huge match.
“Keep at Harper!” Josh encouraged her as Harper did some light jogging around the area. “Remember Kayla wears her pants the same way as everyone else.”
”Yeah and no matter how many times you repeat that phrase it’s never not gonna sound weird!” Harper responded as she shook her head before she came to a stop next to Josh. ”And I know we’re a couple of thousand miles away from your gym but how is jogging supposed to help me prepare against Kayla? There’s gotta be at least one gym in the city.”
“It still keeps your fitness level up and works on your stamina, which will be vital in a main event match.” Josh responded with a nod as Harper took some deep breaths. “Have you talked to Keira?”
”About the match? Yeah, right before I headed out to meet you out here.” Harper responded with a nod as she sat down on the grass. ”She thinks my best shot at winning is to try to match Kayla’s brutality but I don’t know.”
“She has been wrestling a lot longer than you and has wins over Kayla.” Josh responded as he knelt down next to Harper. “But that isn’t like you Harper.”
”I know but it’s not like I haven’t gone that far before, remember my rematch with Mercedes?” Harper pointed out and Josh nodded as he got the idea. ”But this isn’t a No DQ Match, and hell even the regular matches can get brutal, just look at last week’s Main Event!”
“Alexander and Alexandra and Peter and Bobbie were fighting for a title though; this is a non-title match.” Josh reminded her and Harper nodded. “I’ll help you prepare for the match off course but in the end it’ll be up to you.” Josh added and Harper nodded before she resumed training.
Harpin On With Harper, Turkish Countryside
Tuesday the 14th of May 2024, 16:00pm
(on camera, start vlog, promo time)
As Harper prepares for her last vlog for her match with Kayla she clearly still has a lot on her mind.
”And here we are Kayla, me wondering how exactly I got thrown into this mess and you thinking that I’m a lamb being fed to the slaughter.” Harper said as she shook her head. ”Are you really so arrogant that you’ll dismiss any Bombshell sniffing your precious title for the first time, I’m not even competing for this title and unlike what Jessie would’ve done in her younger years, I wasn’t actively campaigning for a shot either.
Hell the only thing I’m really actively campaigning for is a return match with Bea and I’ve already gone over the reasons why your itching to use that against me!”
Harper shakes her head.
”I mean, if we’re going to use our darkest moments against each other, why don’t I bring up how your first title match in SCW ended? You had the Roulette Title won after you eliminated Mercedes but because you were so busy gloating you didn’t see Melissa’s foot coming until it had an intimate meeting with your face, costing you the Ultimate X Over the Pool Match! That wasn’t your brightest moment was it Kayla? Sure you bounced back in the Indian tour but considering all the success you had since then? Not a great start is it, oh wait, you hate the Roulette Division don’t you? Even though there’s plenty of evidence that the girls in that division go even harder than the Internet and World Bombshell Divisions.
Is it because it’s the one division you never succeeded in? Or do you prefer to ignore the black eye on your otherwise impeccable title record? Don’t answer that Kayla, we both know the answer.”
It’s that simple.
”The long and short of it is Kayla is that it’s about damn time someone took you down a peg and losing potentially your last Climax Control Match before Into the Void? Yeah, that’ll do the trick and I’m happy to be the one to serve you a taste of the humble pie!” Harper said as she stepped forward. ”Go ahead Kayla, try to find something original to use against me because I’ve heard it all by now, “oh she lost to Bea” big fucking deal! Everyone and their mother has used that bullshit decision against me, “oh she’s just a younger Jessie” how many times do I have to say that that’s not true?! Even when that one quote about the Roulette Title got twisted to make it seem like I was already making noise about a return match after I lost to Bobbie I was quick to shoot that down! Give me something new because I’m sick of hearing the same old bullshit being thrown at me by other wrestlers who know fuck all about me!
Or don’t, either way I’ll make you eat your words on a silver fucking platter.”
And with that Harper decided to wrap things up.
”I’m the underdog here Kayla, you know it, I know it, the Turkish crowd will know it, everyone knows it! But either I score the biggest upset win of the year or I go down fighting, or hell, maybe I’ll score my first ever draw in SCW?” Harper shrugs her shoulders as she folds her arms, ”This may seem like an easy win to you Kayla but if you head into this match thinking that then you’ll have your head so far up your own ass that I’ll have to kick your backside to give you a concussion! Until then? I’ll shock the world at “Wasn’t Built In A Day Part VII: My Greatest Challenge?” because the world needs a new hero and her name is “The Slaytanic Avenger” Harper Mason!”
Harper turned off her camera as the scene fades.
