As the woman walked down the hall of the hospital. Those heels she had on clicked off the floor with a rhythm to them. She found herself stopping just right outside her office door where her secretary was seated. Quickly the secretary got the attention of the woman just before she could walk through that office door.
LARKAN YOUNG
Oh! Dr. Wynn!
DR. WYNN
Yes, Larkan?
LARKAN YOUNG
I know you had an appointment set up at two.
But I had a gentleman walk in a few minutes ago and demand that he be penciled.
DR. WYNN
Well that’s not how we operate around here. . .
LARKAN YOUNG
I know, I know. But he insisted.
Claimed he was in a bad head space. Said he is a former patient of yours and quite frankly. . .
Something about his demeanor scared me.
I just felt like I didn’t have a choice but to give him what he wanted.
The look on the secretary's face said it all. She truly looked terrified. All that did was really raise a red flag for the blonde doctor. Wynn’s eyebrow raised in a very concerning manner.
DR. WYNN
Uh. . . okay?
So when did you pencil them in for?
LARKAN YOUNG
Well he’s actually inside your office waiting for you.
DR. WYNN
In my office? Right now?
LARKAN YOUNG
Yes ma’am.
She looked right over her shoulder at the office door. Right away she felt like her stomach dropped. Her heart beat picking up. Slowly turning her head back to the woman behind the desk.
DR. WYNN
If you don’t see me.
Come back out this door in the next five minutes.
Call the police!
She turned herself around and slowly took a few steps towards the door. Her hand was trembling and shaking when she reached out for the handle. Twisting it slightly and pushing the door open. Finding the courage deep to walk into the room. Taking a look around and instantly realizing her office chair was spun around. Not how she left it. Again fear started to strike her as she slowly started to close the door.
DR. WYNN
Listen. I don’t know what’s going on here but. . .
Before she could even finish her statement. The chair spun itself around with a bit of quickness. Revealing that sitting in that chair was Kevin Carter. Yes, a former patient but also one that almost ruined her entire life with everything he had put her through. Dr. Wynn’s entire facial expression changed. She went white as a ghost. Carter smirked at her.
KEVIN CARTER
Long time no see Doc.
She instantly found herself reaching for the door, but before she could do anything else. He slapped his hands down on her desk before him and stood up from the chair.
KEVIN CARTER
If you know what’s best for you.
I’d back away from that door very slowly.
Her hand left the door right away, finding herself backing away, but not keeping her eyes off of him. Not when she was crippled with fear.
KEVIN CARTER
Look how far you’ve come in such little time.
No longer working in that awful mental ward.
Out from under that awful human being none as your boss.
Got your gig going. Seemingly still trying to help people like me.
DR. WYNN
I have never come across anyone else like you.
These people actually want help. They want to get better.
You just wanted to watch the world burn.
Now I suggest.
KEVIN CARTER
I am no longer your patient Doc.
Your suggestions don’t work for me anymore.
Not that they ever did before.
It was almost like he just had to take that jab at her with the little smirk that crossed his lips following those words.
KEVIN CARTER
And I don’t think you’re being very fair here Doc.
You don’t even know me to pass that kind of judgement on me.
Now when it comes to Entity. You knew him.
DR. WYNN
You’re the same goddamn person, psychopath!
KEVIN CARTER
Ah for someone that spent all that time studying to be a doctor.
You sure are one of the dumbest people to ever walk the planet.
Shaking his head a little. Carter then started to make his way from behind the desk and step towards her. Of course the woman tried to keep the distance between them. Only way out was the door that he made her get away from. So things weren’t going to end well for her. Carter stepped right in front of her and made the woman look at him.
KEVIN CARTER
Entity and myself are two different people.
I admit that I created Entity in my head during my darkest times.
When I had lost myself and didn’t believe in myself.
But that all changed a few months ago. I got rid of Entity,
And I did something you said I couldn’t do.
I did something you said just let go of and move on from.
I got my revenge. Oh did I get my revenge on Mark and it was the greatest thing ever.
His smirk only seemed to grow. This self satisfaction he felt and had felt ever since High Stakes just put him on a different level.
KEVIN CARTER
I knew I was never in the wrong for holding onto things the way I did.
But I needed you to know that you were wrong in telling me to move on.
I needed you to know you were wrong for not helping me the way you should have.
Yet at the same time I also needed you to know. Now that it’s behind me.
I can take one piece of advice you did offer me.
DR. WYNN
What. . . what are you even talking about?
KEVIN CARTER
You said I needed to be more in tune with my emotions.
I needed to “feel” more often and I needed to let those “feelings” out.
All in order to become the person I wanted to be. And I realize that you were right.
But I don’t think you realized the monster you were going to create with that advice.
DR. WYNN
You cannot blame me for your actions or feelings, Kevin!
KEVIN CARTER
I’m not blaming you.
I’m not blaming you at all.
But I am thanking you for that advice.
Because now I can be who I want to be and not fear what is coming.
No need to hide behind a mask. I don't need to create a persona in my head.
Just to get by. No. because of that advice all those years ago.
I now get to be the violent man I have always craved to be deep down.
His words were making her skin crawl. She finally made an attempt to dash towards that door, but she didn’t get far. His tattooed hand slamming against the wall to block her and keep her right there in front of him. Again those fear riddled eyes being forced to find his.
KEVIN CARTER
It started with Mark. Giving him the beating of a lifetime.
It transferred over to breaking Carter’s nose. Watching the blood just gush from it.
Gives me such a sick satisfaction that I cannot even put into words.
And now it’s going to lead to me snapping Miles' neck like a twig.
In front of a live audience.
He couldn’t contain that almost demonic like chuckle from escaping him.
KEVIN CARTER
A whole company, a whole business.
They will all get to suffer from what I’m about to do.
But it’s all thanks to you Doc.
Thank you! Thank you for helping me become who I needed to be.
Even if it took me a while to understand that violence is what I needed.
This is all going to be worth it for my own pleasure.
Again, he couldn’t help himself with that laugh. Although at that moment he pushed himself away from the blonde doctor. Turning his back to the woman and walking right for the door. Opening it up to make his exit without another word or look in her direction. Almost like this was all done for a scare tactic and to cause the woman grief.
It appeared to have worked as she slowly started to slump to the floor with tears in her eyes. Not only had he made her life hell before, but now he was blaming her for what he had become. Blaming her for what he was about to do. There was something wrong with Kevin mentally. Something that had been wrong for a long time. If she couldn’t fix him and seemingly made it worse. How could it ever get better?
Henderson, Nevada was the next stop for Sin City Wrestling. Climax Control was set to take over Lee’s Family Forum. As one would have expected it was the talk of the week. Every fan you ran into was going. Fans all across the country were flying in. For no other reason than it was the Go Home show right before Inception and history went on to show that the Go Home show were not ones to miss.
There was nothing wrong with a last minute push for bringing more fans to the show. Sadly for the likes of the man that called himself the Entity of Sin City Wrestling. He was being tasked with a media appearance to do just that. With a hateful expression plastering his face, Kevin walked down the hallway of the KVEG radio station. Being led by one of the staff members along the way.
Only a few steps were taking down that hall before they were stopped right outside of a door. Above the door a neon sign was flashing the words: “On Air” over and over again. Kevin just peeked through the see through glass to see a man and a woman chatting back and forth with their headphones on. Hios eyes rolled as he looked over at the staff member.
KEVIN CARTER
How long is this stupid shit going to take?
STAFF MEMBER
Oh, well uhm. . . according to my notes.
You were scheduled for about a fifteen minute interview.
With Mike P and Lady G of the Morning Show here at Hot 97.5.
KEVIN CARTER
And I’m being forced to wait why? Time is money.
STAFF MEMBER
We are just waiting for a small commercial break and I’ll take you right in.
KEVIN CARTER
This is why I do things on my time!
His words were just filled with venom. However almost as soon as they were spoken the On Air sign went off. Right away the staff member opened the door for Kevin. He stepped through those doors and found himself glaring right at the two sitting behind the desk. The woman and man both took their head phones off and stood up with smiles to greet him.
MIKE P
Hey man! It’s a pleasure to have you here!
LADY G
We’re huge wrestling fans.
We just couldn’t pass up a chance to speak with one of the biggest stars in this area,
Thanks to SCW!
MIKE P
Got my family front row tickets and everything for this show in Henderson!
Both of them stood there with their hand extended in his direction. Kevin just glared at them as he took a seat. Finally breaking his own silence.
KEVIN CARTER
I couldn’t give a shit less about your likes.
Or if you’re going to be at the show with your family.
I despise people like you.
Let’s just get this thing over with.
LADY G
Oh, well that’s not what I expected.
KEVIN CARTER
Learn to keep them low next time.
Then maybe you won’t be disappointed.
MIKE P
Uh, let’s just keep things peaceful.
We’re back on the air in five... four... three... two...one...
Both of them took their seats back in their chairs and like clock work went right back into their radio personas like it was no big deal. Kevin sat there still glaring.
MIKE P
Aye! We’re back for the Morning Show.
It’s your boy Mike P.
LADY G
And of course, Lady G here too.
Today, we’ve got ourselves a special guest in the studio.
MIKE P
Anyone that’s a professional wrestling fan,
And especially a fan of pro wrestling in the area.
We have Sin City Wrestling’s own Kevin Carter here.
Kev, welcome to Hot 97.7 my man.
KEVIN CARTER
Yep. On with the questions.
LADY G
Wow, not much of a talker are you?
Well, I do have a question to start things off.
You’ve been back with SCW almost a year now.
But you also had a stint with them several years back.
Can you tell us what the difference is from then to now?
KEVIN CARTER
There isn’t a difference.
MIKE P
Come on now.
There has to be a little bit of a difference.
KEVIN CARTER
Oh, I’m sorry. I forgot you worked there.
And that you had some kind of experience.
No need to even ask me then right?!
That sarcasm could be sensed right away. Kevin just glared across the table at both of them. Clearly not happy with them even questioning his answer.
KEVIN CARTER
I said what I said. There is no difference.
It’s still the same corrupt place it was back then that it is now.
If you don’t kiss ass. If you don’t play by their rules.
And if you don’t give them what they want.
They treat you like trash and aim to screw you over.
I’ve seen it. I’ve dealt with it.
But now I’ve found a way to stop them.
And that’s what makes them hate me that much more.
MIKE P
There is no denying that you are one of the most hated men there.
My son and I watch all the time.
And last week you finally put him on the hate train.
After that confrontation with Miles Kasey.
One of -- if not the greatest wrestler SCW has on the roster.
KEVIN CARTER
Excuse me?
MIKE P
Hmmm?
KEVIN CARTER
You want to repeat what you just said?
MIKE P
Are you talking about Miles?
Yeah, the man is super talented in the ring.
Hands down in my opinion. He should be the World Champion.
He’s that good.
KEVIN CARTER
Is this some kind of fucking joke to you?
LADY G
Woah! We can’t use that kind of language on air!
KEVIN CARTER
Is it a joke?
Or did you just bring me on this show to embarrass me?
To mock me?! To have fun at my experience?!
With those words coming out of his mouth. Kevin found himself stepping up from the chair he was sitting in and walking around the table. Getting right in the face of the radio host.
KEVIN CARTER
I asked you a question.
You better answer me!
LADY G
Kevin, let’s take a seat.
My co-host didn’t mean anything by it.
MIKE P
We’re all entitled to our opinions.
You’re good at what you do. A really good hand for SCW.
But you’re no Miles Kasey. He is the definition of pro wrestling.
Something to inspire to be. Even you can admit that.
KEVIN CARTER
You’re right.
You’re very right. I am not Miles Kasey.
Nothing like him at all. . .
Before the radio host knew what happened. Kevin swung his right hand forward and PUNCHING him right in the mouth knocking him out of the chair he was sitting in. Putting him down on the ground. As soon as the slap connected the female host went running out of the room. Kevin standing over the male with the audio picking everything up.
KEVIN CARTER
I’m better than Miles Kasey.
You fucking hear me?! Better than him in every way!
People like you are the reason I have to hurt him on Sunday!
Don’t you ever hold that piss ant above me.
Don’t you ever fucking disrespect me again!
If the slap wasn’t bad enough Kevin took it upon himself to spit on the man that laid on the floor holding his face in pain. Those intense eyes remained locked on the radio host for a moment. That was until security came rushing into the room and started to yank at Carter to pull him out. That evil glare still featured as it was clear this man was not right in the head. That created for a very scary and dangerous situation for the Climax Control right around the corner.
The shot found itself slowly starting to fade in. As it did so it didn’t take long at all to reveal a familiar face. Sitting right there with his hands behind his head was none other than Kevin Carter. That signature sour look covered his expression while he leaned back slightly in the chair he sat in.
“Miles. I have to ask you a serious question.”
He leaned forward in his chair. The metal of it slamming against the floor and echoing throughout the room for a brief moment. Carter’s eyes narrowed while keeping them forward.
“As much as people are going to accuse me for being a prick.
Something I won’t shy away from. I am indeed a prick.
I’m an asshole. I’m selfish. So on and so forth.
But this question isn’t meant to highlight those features.
No, not at all. It's a genuine and legitimate question.
What makes you think you have a chance against me?”
For a couple of seconds that eyebrow of his arched in a questioning manner. To go along with the question he had laid on the table.
“Because I did some research. Did a little bit of a deep dive on some things.
Looking at the end of 2023 and then looking at the entire year of 2024.
There’s not a single fight, match, or moment that took place to make me feel threatened.
Nothing to make me sit there and go, Wow this Miles kid might be the truth.
And sure that might get under your skin. It might even get under the skin of your supporters.
But I’m not lying.”
“The last victory you had that meant anything was in October of 2023.
You defeated a man with a broken ankle to become the Internet Champion.
And even then that’s questionable to bring up.
Because that clown was pretty much easily forgettable by that point anyway.
He had no real stock around here. Not like he did once before.
And bragging about beating someone that was injured would make you a bitch.”
“But like I said that was the last time you had a victory that meant anything.
Every title defense you had going forward was laughable at best.
Then the moment that 2024 rolled around. You became Peter Vaughn’s personal punching bag.
Something I am sure is such a sore spot for you, even after all this time later.
However facts are facts Miles. That’s one thing about me is that’s all I speak.
Sure it pisses people off, but so be it. You can’t run from facts.”
The smirk that crossed that man’s lips. Although it was brief, it told quite the story. A story where he took pride in getting under someone’s skin. Something he was without a doubt trying to do with Miles.
“Peter slapped you around silly style and took your championship with ease.
And thank god for him doing that.
Thank him for putting an end to that reign.
For it will go down in history as easily one of the worst
And the most embarrassing reigns of all time.
Though, I will admit your significant other is closing in on taking the cake.
How many times is he going to defend the title against Justin Smith. . .
Just to have a successful title defense to his name?”
“Anyway. Back to the point at hand.
You very quickly found yourself in a last chance situation.
Again only for Peter to clean your clock and send you packing.
Ensuring you never got shot at the Internet Championship as long as he was champion.
And that was ultimately a nail in your coffin for 2024 wasn’t it?
Everything you did from that point on was forgettable.
It wasn’t worth mentioning. No real shine or spotlight on you.”
“Only time people heard from you was the occasional match that didn’t matter.
Or the mind numbing tweets that you and Carter engage in on a day to day basis.
You two do realize you’re fucking adults right? Maybe it’s time to act like it.
Not everyone needs to know every little detail about your relationship.
When in reality most people don’t give a damn if your marriage fails or survives.
Simply put Miles. You were a ghost in 2024.
But for me? When you look at the year I had.
Something spectacular. I was always the subject of conversation wasn’t I?”
He kept that smirk plastered across his lips.
“From the moment I showed up in SCW until now all eyes have been on me.
Sure, at first my identity was a secret. But that was a conversation starter.
It led to J2H and I putting on one hell of a match.
Just for the sake of duping you idiots into believing there was an issue.
All for the sake of the bigger plan.”
“And when that plan came together. I was one of the biggest acts of 2024.
J2H, Myself, and Alexander Raven were a very dark cloud over the company.
We caused havoc and chaos everywhere we went. It didn’t make people happy.
Very much aligned with what you said last week.
Everything we did had people wanting to punch us in the face.”
“Yet, none of those people stepped up, did they?
Most of them shied away like the pussies they were.
Sure, they liked to sneak diss like some bitches.
But they never said anything to my face. They never took a swing at me.
In fact the only man that did was a man that signed y’all’s paychecks.”
“And that does nothing but make this roster look pathetic.
When the owner has more balls than his talent. That’s saying something.
Might be time to close up shop and send you people into the unemployment line.
2024 was a big year for me, Miles. But 2025? It’s going to be even bigger.
More fulfilling and will involve a lot more self satisfaction.”
“I have goals. I have yet to achieve,
I’ve got a direction that I want to go in.
And there’s not a single person on this roster that is going to derail that.
That includes your husband.
And you can bet your ass it includes you.”
For a moment there was just this arrogant chuckle that fell from his lips. Carter at this point was more than aware of what he was doing. Pushing that line again and again. Knowing there was going to be a breaking point for the man he was set to face.
“Now of course with me telling you that.
I already know it’s something that you’re doing to deny.
And you’re going to be quick to bring up that last moment you had just before 2024 ended.
You’re going to boast about how people talked about it.
How people were invested. For better or worse.
You know that one moment where you showed your desperation.”
“That moment where you thought it would change everything for you.
The moment where you thought you came up with a brilliant plan. . .
That would finally make you a main event player and a World Champion.
And we all saw how that turned out for you.
You shit the bed and made yourself an enemy for life.”
“Now there’s no real point in beating a dead horse in this matter.
I just know how you think and how you operate Miles.
You did what you did and it ultimately meant nothing.
Which aligns with your career, as it means nothing.
And at the same time aligns with everything I am trying to tell you.
I’m trying to get you to see this thing called reality.”
Finally, Carter stood up from the chair that he was sitting in. That once sour expression that had crippled his face had disappeared. Only to be replaced with one of arrogance. His tattooed arms folded across his chest with his eyes finding their way back to the red light.
“And the reality is... You don’t stand a chance Miles.
You’ve never stood a chance. And you’re never going to stand a chance.
Might be a bitter pill to swallow, but that’s just how the world works.
There are people that exist that are able to be as good as they want to be.
They’re able to accomplish every goal they set for themselves.
They are able to live out their dreams and live them out to their fullest.”
“Then there are people who aren’t as good.
They’ll never even reach half of what they believe they could be.
At every single turn, they'll be constantly shut down and stopped in their tracks.
They will never be able to achieve a single goal.
They will never be able to live out a dream. They turn out to be failures.
You are quite literally the embodiment of someone like that, Miles.”
“Again, it’ll be a bitter pill for you to swallow.
It won’t be something you want to hear.
It isn’t something you’ll want to accept.
Especially not with everything that’s come to light as of late.
Or after everything that you said last week.
But again you cannot run from facts and reality catches us all one day.”
Allowing himself to just shake his head a little bit.
“But you know something Miles.
The more and more I have thought about this match over the last week.
My opinion began to change a little bit.
Sure, the fact remains that I took the match to beat the hell out of you.
Teach you a lesson in respect and send a direct message to your husband.
But then it dawned on me.”
“I’ve got the chance to do something that should have been done a long time ago.
I am being presented with a chance to make Sin City Wrestling better.
Not just make the company better. . .
But I am being presented with a chance to make all of wrestling better.
By simply putting you on the shelf and making sure you can never get off it.
No one truly wants you here anymore.”
“And I can read you like a book, Miles.
I know the moment you hear those words.
You’re going to rattle off a bunch of names that have tried to do the same thing.
Throughout your career. You’ll hype them up on how big and bad they thought they were.
Just for you to end up putting them down.
And it won’t be impressive when I hear you say it.”
“Not when those people and names you bring up will be just as irrelevant as you.
I am unlike any man you have faced before. I am unlike any competition you had before.
And you got just a small taste of that back on April 28th.
Only difference between then and now is that my head space was a lot different.
I was focused on something much bigger than you. I just looked past you. . .
And still won with ease.”
“But this time out.
You’re getting every bit of my attention.
Every bit of my focus. Every single bit of what I have to offer.
Each time I punch you in the face. I’m aiming to crush your jaw.
Every single time I kick you. I’m going to aim to make sure it crumbles you.
I’m after blood and I’ll promise you. I’ll have it.”
“I am a man of my word always, Miles. Fucking always.
This company doesn’t need you. This business doesn’t need you.
Only real purpose you provide is being the resident punching bag.
And we’ve got Bill Barnhart for that. So you can get put on the shelf.
And never come back down.
This is ultimately what you deserve.”
Cameras found themselves zooming in right then. The look in his eyes really helping sell the story that he was trying to tell. There was no denying he believed in what he was saying, but it wasn’t going to be easy to get others to buy into it. Then again it was likely something he didn’t care about when it came to those other people.
“Speaking of deserving. SCW deserves to be in a better place.
A level where this company is viewed as a place to be.
And not a laughing stock. No more looking at SCW as the small fish in a big pond.
Being a place where people want to be in order to test themselves.
But the only way these things can be accomplished is by seeing people like you and Carter go.
It has to be done and while I’ll have great pride leading this company down a better path.
I’ll take greater pride in ending your careers on the way!”
Arrogance oozed out of Carter every time he spoke. This was no different with the last shot of that smirk of his being seen. There was no denying that a match between Carter and Kasey would be historic. Due to no other reason than how hard hitting it would end up being, but if the man was able to achieve everything he said. Then the company was going to end up missing one of the greatest stars that it has ever seen and put Carter on a level of being untouchable that no one would ever want to see.
