Dave and Busters
Catching Up
Violent Conduct had been filled with many surprises, one of them being that a lot had gone down in the ball and chain match between Seleana Zdunich and her wife Crystal Caldwell. Nobody had ever expected for Crystal to join in on a beat down with Mercedes. Seleana wasn’t in the move to see anybody especially with Crystal telling her that she was no longer in love with her. This had put a damper on a bunch of relationships and one of them being on the friendship between the teenage daughters of Kate Steele and Seleana Zdunich, with Climax Control coming to Long Beach, Diamond had arranged for their daughters to spend time with one another but mainly it was going to be a chance for Diamond to connect with Seleana. Diamond, her sister Sapphire, and Kate’s daughter Juliet Steele-Warren sat a booth as they waited for their guests to arrive.
Juliet: Mom how long do I have to wait for Aurora, all of this is stupid. I don’t understand why I can’t spend time with her like we always did.
Diamond: I know pumpkin, it’s just Aurora’s parents are having some issues and it’s having an impact on whether you two can spend time with one another. I know it sucks but things are going to work out.
Sapphire keeps her eyes locked on Diamond before she smiles at her niece.
Sapphire: I wouldn’t worry about things too much. Things will go back to normal. You just have to give it time. Look, Aurora is coming now. Why don’t we go meet her so we can have some fun and play arcade games together?
With that Sapphire and Juliet walk away as they meet Aurora in the middle of the restaurant. It just leaves Diamond sitting at the table by herself. Steele couldn’t believe it as she watches the tall blonde Swedish woman that is Seleana Zdunich walk towards her booth. She sits across from Diamond, and she lets out a long sigh as the tears begin to flow steadily down her face.
Diamond: Long time no Seleana, is everything okay with you?!
All Seleana could do in return was let more tears flow down her face. She grabs a napkin and wipes them as she slowly gazes into the eyes of the British woman.
Seleana: Hej Kath-Lyn. Sorry I late… I didn’t really feel like coming but Aurora insisted and…
Diamond: You don’t have to say anything else, I fully understand what’s going on. You don’t have to worry about the girls it sucks that our sixteen years olds are caught in the crossfire but this is not going to dampen their friendship. If anything I bet it’s going to come out to be even stronger than that. To be honest my concern isn’t about our daughters. I am worried about you and what you must be going through.
Seleana: I….I… I haven’t slept much. I haven’t eaten much. I still can’t believe that Christina would just walk out on me. I have always loved her. Even when she felt like I didn’t care, I have always cared. She is my everything and things don’t feel the same without her in my life. Alexandra walked out but I don’t know what to do. How am I supposed to explain what is going on to the kids?! How could I even bring up that me and Christina are having issues…
Diamond: I honestly don’t know what you would do in that situation. Did you even allow them to watch the wrestling match between the two of you?!”
Seleana quickly shakes her head as she looks back at the petite blonde.
Seleana: Of course not, I don’t want them to think worse of Christina. I know the world would scream for me to be freed, but when I said I do. I signed up for better or for worse… I just want Christina to know that I have only ever supported her and will have her back.
Diamond: Yes you did say I do at the wedding but with no disrespect but that doesn’t mean you are too be a punching bag. I know you are Swedish but you don’t want people to say that you suffer from Stockholm syndrome. I love Crystal and honestly she has had a big part in helping me become the wrestler that I am today. That doesn’t necessarily mean I have to agree with all of the shit that she does. She can be evil at times, and she looks like she has no qualm in trying to stomp all over your heart.
Diamond looks directly into Seleana’s eyes as she continues pouring her heart into her.
Diamond: You shouldn’t allow that. I remember when I was married to Teddy. I tried everything in my power to make it work but eventually he became too abusive. He tried to paint this picture that I was the worst mother in the world and tried to build up a case against me so child protective services could try to pry Juliet away from me. It wasn’t cool and at this point in my life Juliet is everything to me. I know it sucks to think that your wife would do this to you but you don’t need to stay in the victim role. You need to stand up for yourself and you need to show Crystal that she can seriously lose the best thing to have ever happen in her life. You been married for seven years and seven years you had to constantly put up with her shit. Enough is enough, it’s time to fight back.
Seleana nods her head with a long sigh.
Seleana: Yeah, my sister Zenna says the same exact thing. That is why she signed contract with SCW. She said if I wasn’t going to defend myself she has no problem punching Crystal in the face. She just doesn’t want me to get hurt in the process. She wants my hands to be freed from hitting on Christina.
Diamond: No! You don’t understand that you wouldn’t be beating on your wife but you are merely defending yourself. Crystal can talk all she wants but at the end of the day she values success more than she values her own marriage. That’s really messed up. As much as I agree with Zenna the truth is YOU need to be the one to put a stop to Christina. You need to put her in her place and show her that you aren’t afraid of her. You already beat her in a wrestling match so all that’s left is to fight for what you believe in. You have a daughter and a son who are looking up to you. They say children often imitate their parents when they get older. Do you want Elijah and Aurora to come out like Crystal who feel they can be self-absorbed and do whatever they want to get what they want, or do you want to be the role model that they can look up too?!
Diamond nods her head as she continues to speak more.
Diamond: Becoming a woman who stands up for what she believes in and doesn’t let others bully her, I know deep inside that is who you are Seleana. You just need to bring THAT woman out.
Seleana: I guess so….
Diamond sighs in return as she keep her eyes locked on the Swedish woman.
Diamond: No you can’t think like that. Besides I can say that because I was in your shoes when it came to Teddy. To be honest I know people question why I even went as far to change how I look among trying to be “beautiful” but it was to cover up that I didn’t really feel so pretty. I felt worthless when I wanted to cover myself up from all the abuse. I thought if I could get the makeover it would make things feel different but it didn’t. No matter how much you put a fresh paint job on something, if you never changed the shitty engine you will still run into the same problems. I don’t want that to happen with you.
Diamond nods her head as she speaks more.
Diamond: Honestly I know that part of the problem is also because of who Crystal has surrounded herself around. Mercedes Vargas is a bad influence. She has always been a bad person at heart. I find it ridiculous that they are even paired together to begin with because they both seem like they would be leeches to one another. There isn’t room for two alpha females. Something is obviously going to give and it would not surprise me if one of them turned on the other, and as soon as that happens that is when Crystal is going to come back crawling to be with you again.
Seleana: You really think so, she told me she didn’t love me…
Diamond: You are missing the point Sel, it shouldn’t matter if she does crawl back to you. You need to stand your ground and tell her that you aren’t going to put up with that shit. Grow a backbone and really show that you won’t let that happen. I love Crystal, not in the romantic way that you do but our daughters are best friends. On Juliet’s behalf I am going to make Crystal see the light. I know I may not possess the strength to strike her personally but I am going to unleash all of my frustration upon Mercedes. Vargas seems to be a huge common denominator in the midst of all your problems and I am going to free you of that problem this week.
Seleana: How?!
Diamond: I am going to beat her and free her of her Internet Championship. Let’s be honest. The only reason that Crystal is attached at her side is due to the simple fact that Vargas is a champion. Vargas is relevant and by actually being somebody Crystal feels that some of her popularity can rub off on her. We all know that’s how Crystal operates and there’s nothing new about saying that. Once I beat Vargas and make her irrelevant Crystal will jump to something else. Perhaps it might be into your arms or maybe it would be to something else. Either way I am not going to let any of this stand any more. I will take what belongs to me and you should be happy.
Diamond cracks a very wicked grin as she continues to speak more.
Diamond: I am going to give you something to cheer for Seleana. I know Mercedes pisses you off and I am going to shatter her ego. Once that happens it will put a serious dent in their armor and you might see the opening you need to fight for your wife back. It may happen, it may not but at least you must be willing to fight. Fight in the way that I am going to lay it all down to get the Internet Championship. I won’t stop fighting until I eventually get what I want and you should have that same spirit.
Seleana sits there as she takes it all in. She doesn’t really know what to say but she just let’s more tears fall from her eyes. She slowly looks back at Diamond and she cracks the smallest of grins.
Seleana: Thank you Diamond, thank you for being a friend…
Diamond: Don’t mention it. We bend but we damn sure shouldn’t break, and no matter what we have to always make sure that we always have what it takes to shine bright like a Diamond even when it hurts more than we realize… Come on Seleana why don’t we go catch up to our daughters and see if we can beat them in the Mario Kart arcade game…
Seleana nods her head as they leave the booth and go off to find their daughters as we leave this image.
What’s going on SCW faithful, you all should feel amazed and privileged because the most beautiful thing in all of SCW is once again about to invade your television sets and I will definitely will be inside of that wrestling ring once again! I am going to be the first to be completely honest with all of you when I say that Violent Conduct did not go in the way that I envisioned it going. It annoys me that I had to be subjected to a triple threat match. I knew it from the very moment that the match was booked that there was a chance that I could lose without even being pinned.
Long behold look what happened… Lilith takes the pin and Mercedes Vargas gets to live another day as the Internet Champion. Seeing Vargas with the championship is a sight that pisses me off to no end because deep down I just know for a fact that she isn’t as good or even as great as she might think she is. She is a subpar wrestler and the prime definition of being mediocre at best. I know people want to get excited because she’s out here claiming that she’s setting records gaining over one hundred victories in the company and talking about all the titles that she has achieved over her life time.
It’s honestly sickening and it’s really delusional if you ask me. If I can be blunt Mercedes Vargas is the Lebron James of SCW. I know somewhere there’s going to be some people will say doesn’t that statement make her like the best of the best, the cream of the crop who consistently rises to the top?!
No… that would be me saying that she has that Michael Jordan level of dominance who took over the NBA from the very day that he stepped foot on the court. That she is a genius of an individual who is still making money off of perhaps the most popular shoe brand in the entire world with people who never even saw the man plan going out to the store and wanting to buy a pair of shoes…
That’s dominance but Mercedes isn’t bringing that type of heat to SCW. There isn’t anybody that’s really scared of her. Instead she is Lebron in the sense that she’s only where she is because she’s been wrestling for a very long time. Longevity doesn’t really shit when you just linger around. At this point she’s just trying to pad her stats and she thinks by doing so that makes her this end all be all.
That’s not dominance… Dominance is what Kayla did when she first got to this company making an impact since day one or maybe even a Frankie who has risen to being the World Champion at a fast rate. These women don’t have to constantly talk up who they are and what they accomplished. People can see it for themselves by their actions in the ring.
However that is the story of Mercedes for you, she’s always a day late and a dollar short. She will have you think she’s this great champion but the ONLY reason why she has a championship at this point in her career is because she has her buddy Crystal so far up her ass that I am sure she can smell her shit.
Too bad that Vargas can’t smell Crystal’s bullshit because everybody knows when she loses the Internet Championship there won’t be any purpose for Hilton to stick around her. She will be off to the next thing and I am sure Mercedes is going to try to make up an excuse why she lost.
It’s really sickening and I am getting tired of it already.
The Internet division has been an absolute joke for the past few months. There hasn’t been any sort of consistency to the title. If anything it just seems like it’s playing the role of a hot potato and people are constantly passing it off to one another until a credible champion is found.
It annoys me because that title used to mean something when I held it, and when I was defending it in the Blast From the Past tournament and I was setting records and doing what I do best. Mercedes can talk herself like she’s important but she is far from being the woman that she really thinks she is. Now that I have my feet on the ground and I am now moving in the direction that I really want to move in nothing is going to stop me from claiming what belongs to me.
When I returned back to SCW I came back with one goal and one simple purpose. It’s my goal to be in the Hall of Fame and I will do whatever it takes to get what I want. I already have an amazing resume that warrants me to have that honor but it seems like I have to keep on going through the grind just to prove that I deserve it. it’s not just a bunch of nonsense emerging from my mouth but it’s how I feel.
Record setting Roulette Champion… Yeah I did that at one point in my career…
Record setting Internet Champion… Yeah I did that at one point too…
Mixed Tag Team Champion, Golden briefcase holder, I have done so much in my career but I still feel like there’s much more that I could feel the fulfillment that I am longing for.
One day I will be a World Champion and I mean I already showed signs I have what it takes to beat the current World Champion when it wasn’t that long ago when I beat Frankie Holliday in the ring.
You see Vargas if you noticed something when I talk, I always back it up with facts. Facts that showcase that I among the upper echelon of talents in this company, I know I am part of the best of the best, and if somebody doesn’t think so I will be the bitch that calls out that bitch so I can prove that I belong.

These are all names that I have built a career off of beating. I am where I am at because I earned my place here. Meanwhile you got to where you are at by riding on the coattails of different tag team partners and getting the occasional win or two. Plus it’s really ironic going back to your first World Championship in this company that you won it because Crystal interfered and basically put the title around your waist.
It makes me sick to my stomach and I don’t see you as a real champion. I just see you as a woman who knows how to be resourceful at times and are at the benefit of being at the right place at the right time. This time you won’t be so lucky because after being back in this company for a few months now.
After trying to build up myself to be part of the Roulette division just so I could have originally taken down Victoria Lyons, and trying to target the best of the best. It seems management is finally hearing my pleas and I am getting exactly what I wanted. I guess you can say Christmas is coming early because I am getting you in a one on one match with the Internet Championship on the line.
This is exactly what I have been waiting for. We get to fight in the middle of a main event and all outside interference is barred from getting involved. I know there might be something in you that will still try to find a way to get Crystal involved but I don’t care. If I have to lay that Bitch out I won’t hesitate to do that.
I am on a mission to prove to the entire world that I am better than you. I have always been better than you. You love to hang onto the past. You love to bring up how you are a Hall of Famer but nobody has time for the stars of yesteryear. As they said in the Temptations movie, ain’t nobody coming to see you Otis but they are paying good money to see the MOST BEAUTIFUL THING IN ALL OF WRESTLING.
What’s beautiful is me. I have the talent, I have the skills, and I definitely have all of the ability in the world. It’s always funny to me that it takes you a while to go on a streak and get consistent. It takes you a while to finally become something.
Congratulations for the first time in your career you have finally become something…
Granted it’s still built on the grounds on somebody else and I don’t mean you riding all the various bombshell partners you had as you coasted to different bombshell tag team championships or even the way you did the same with the Mixed Tag Team Championships.
I don’t even how you constantly rode on the Mean Girls legacy trying to build up how you are a star when you were just a background character for Delia Darling and Veronica Taylor.
It’s not like me Vargas who has the Gem Stones but I am the focal point, the band revolves around its Diamond and they make sure that I shine bright.
No you have always been in the shadow of somebody else’s spotlight and then want to claim onto that greatness for your own. Congratulations you finally got what you wanted with Crystal riding you.
A washed up Hollywood Star pairing up with your washed up Mexican Telenovela self but just like all bad Spanish soap operas this story sadly comes to an end. I am that end and I will shine brighter than you ever have in this company.
In the heart of Long Beach, I rise to the top and I won’t rest until I have that Internet Championship raised high into the air. Bring it on Vargas but you will see firsthand that your efforts just aren’t enough.
See you soon, and try not to get blinded by spotlight, there’s only room for me to shine Bright, and as they say Diamonds do last forever….
