Steve’s been on a roll as of late having defeated The Flying Jets in his tag team match alongside Jeremiah Hardin at the Halloween Special all though the Jets where attacked by the mysterious druids that have been plaguing SCW ever since after the match.
This week he hoped to continue his roll when he took on Eric Steel in the opening contest off the night, Eric has been very impressive since his debut but so has Steve and both men obviously want a win, can Steve’s veteran instincts help him get the win?
On a tour bus around Hollywood, California
November 19th, 2013, 10:00am
Hollywood, home of the stars, movies, the greedy assholes who make those movies and as of this Sunday the last Climax Control before the last SCW Supercard of the year, 2013 has been a hell of a year for me as it’s the year that I made my return to wrestling and now I’m in one of the best independent wrestling promotions in the country, maybe even the world.
Yeah, I’m feeling pretty good right now.
Good enough to win the match against Eric Steel on Sunday? Off course I am! Eric Steel is a guy who I haven’t seen much off but from what I’ve seen I’m impressed with the kid and he’s held his share of titles, not as many as mine mind you but still two titles is pretty impressive.
That said I have one goal this week and that’s to go into the Supercard with the win!
So, what am I up too? Well I’ve always wanted to go on a tour of Hollywood and since the GWA never came here during the two years that I was in that company I never got the chance to do so until now, I’m not alone either as Charlotte and Sophie are with me with Sophie sitting on Charlotte’s leg, the tour is going pretty well and in between stops I’m checking Bloodstock’s Facebook page since they announced that they were announcing bands today at 10:00am, so in other words they should be announcing bands any moment now.
“And if you’ll look to your right.” The tour guide said and we looked up as we passed a famous person’s home, couldn’t tell you who it is if I tried and I turned back to my phone. “You’ll see the home of Robert Downey Jr.”
“YES! YES! YES! YES!” I yelled out suddenly making the older couple in front of us nearly jump out of their wrinkly skin and the rest of the tour bus to give us odd looks.
“Err, sorry folks, my husband loves the Iron Man movies.” Charlotte apologized as she blushed like a mad-woman, fortunately that seemed to work as the tour continued. “Steve, what the hell was that?!” Charlotte whispered to me once everyone else had stopped looking.
“Oh nothing, just the Bloodstock announcement!” I responded with a massive grin as I showed her the announcement, her eyes lit up when she saw who the Special Guests on Sunday where.
“They announced Amon Amarth, Hatebreed and Prong? Holy shit, I’ve wanted to see Amon Amarth live for years.” Charlotte added whilst, somehow, keeping her voice to a whisper. “The other two bands though?”
“Hatebreed are a great hardcore band who are even better live.” I responded as I shifted my weight. “Prong, well all I know about them is that they did that song, “Snap Your Fingers, Snap Your Neck” that was used by some ECW guy back in the 90s, can’t remember who because I wasn’t into wrestling at the time.” I added as I pocketed the phone. “Maybe we should give them a listen when we get back?”
“As long as you don’t embarrass me publically again I’m not complaining.” Charlotte added and I shook my head, I just know that I’m never going to live this incident down.
“Well, you didn’t have to lie about my taste in movies, that’s a good thing!” I pointed out and Charlotte just grinned at that.
“Anyway we should be stopping for lunch soon right?” Charlotte asked once she checked her watch, I leaned over for a better look and the time read 11:50, man time flies.
“According to the schedule, yeah we should be.” I responded once I checked the schedule. “I just hope that they drop us off at someplace other than McDonalds, I don’t think my stomach’s fully recovered from the last time I ate at that place.”
“You mean when Sophie practically black mailed you into eating a Big Mac?” Charlotte asked and I nodded reluctantly as the bus came to a stop, fortunately they weren’t stopping at a McDonalds rather a small bar/grill that looked nice, the tour guide told us to be back in an hour and we nodded before getting off the bus and entering the bar. “Steve I have an idea, why don’t you find us a place to sit and look through the menu with Sophie? I’m going to grab a drink, want anything?” Charlotte asked as Sophie walked over to me.
“You got it.” I responded before leading my daughter through the bar, we found a place to sit and sat down at a booth, I was about to start my promo but then realization hit me, Sophie was within earshot and Charlotte was at the bar, fortunately I had a solution. “Hey Sophie, don’t tell your mom but….” I trailed off as I got her 3DS out and her eyes lit up. “And yes, it has Pokémon X in it, now if you’re a good girl throughout my promo, which means leaving it on Mute, I’ll let you keep it for the rest of the tour, deal?”
“Deal daddy.” Sophie responded and I handed over the 3DS and muting the sound, now that she was enthralled by her game and Charlotte was at the bar I started my promo.
“The wrestling year is almost at an end and to say that it’s been an interesting year for me is an understatement, I won’t go into too much detail because, well I’d be here all day, but I intend to end 2013 with a bang and by that I mean beating everyone in my path, that starts with my opponent this week Eric Steel.”
This should be good.
“Eric, I saw your debut match against John Dough and whilst you did lose the match you impressed the higher-ups in the process to the point where they decided to test your skills against a veteran, namely me, now like you my SCW career has had its ups and downs, and frankly I was happy to start any run of mine with a win for once, but I managed to impress the SCW officials as well, difference being that they put me in not one but two Roulette Title shots practically back to back.”
I lost both shots but still!
“The way I see it Eric is that we both have something to gain from this match, for you it’s getting your first win and beating a veteran but for me it’s more along the lines off end the year with a win, now I don’t know if I’ll be booked for the Supercard or not yet but what I do know is that I’m not taking any chances one way or another, I’ll win this match and there’s not a damn thing you can do about it.”
Thank god the music is too noisy for Sophie to actually hear me say that, thankfully the SCW Cameramen can hear me just fine.
“I know what you’re going to say, you’re younger, more agile and you have a fresh body, first off buddy I may be a veteran but I’m still twenty-five years old! Second, more agile? Come back when you can do a Corkscrew 630 Splash and NOT break your neck and THEN we’ll talk! And lastly, your body may be younger but you know who I’ve beaten who had healthier bodies than me? Casey Williams, The Flying Jets, okay The Flying Jets are too a lesser extent and that’s not even counting my GWA, my two AWA runs and all my short lived comebacks in between but still! As far as I’m concerned Eric, age is only a number!”
And with that I decided to wrap things up.
“Eric, you’re young, hungry and ready to take on the world whilst I am old, hungry, took on the world once and had such a blast that I want to do it again! The point is Eric that age doesn’t matter to me as long as I can kick ass! As for you, you have nothing to fear but fear itself and no one to fear but “The Fearless One” Steve Ramone!”
I picked up the menu as the scene fades.
