2014 is upon us as was the first Climax Control of the year coming to us from Laughlin, Nevada and not only were there three titles on the line on the show…..and “The Fearless One” Steve Ramone wasn’t competing for any of them despite forming an alliance with Cyrus King at the last Climax Control but he was in a tag team match.
Who was his partner? Newcomer Connor Murphy, his opponents? “Big Money” Jimmy Ringo and Mickey Carol who formed an alliance on the previous Climax Control, on top of all that Steve turned 26 just yesterday and despite plans to do a promo yesterday he ended up getting too drunk to actually do a promo and now that he’s recovered from the hangover he’s ready to do a promo but can he win?
Craftsteak, MGM Grand Hotel and Casino, Las Vegas, Nevada
New Year’s Day, 2014, 17:00pm
Huh, so there are plus sides to moving from New York to Las Vegas at the last minute!
As the narrator mentioned it was my twenty-sixth birthday yesterday and Charlotte booked a table here at this steak house to celebrate, why am I doing this today and not on my actual birthday? You ever tried booking a restaurant table on New Year’s Eve?
If you just shuddered in fear then you know why.
Being the steak lover that I am Charlotte took me to the best steakhouse she could find in Las Vegas and according to her it wasn’t easy, to the point that she had to consult a best steakhouse list from 2012 just to find the best possible place and I’d say that she did just that, Sophie’s with us because we couldn’t find a babysitter, I even asked Jessie against Charlotte’s advice but she said that, as much as she’d love to help me out, she was too busy training for her match), so we ended up making a last minute adjustment to our reservation but the staff where happy to help.
Now that just leaves on question.
“So many great looking steaks and I can’t decide what I want.” I sighed to myself as I read through the menu, I’m normally a Rib-Eye man but there’s so many great steaks that I may be here all night! Sophie’s already made her choice going for a New York Strip whilst Charlotte has chosen a Fillet Mingon but for me the choice is a bit tougher. “You have any ideas babe?”
“Well, you usually go for a rib-eye but if you want something different I’ll be happy to help.” Charlotte responded as she looked over the menu. “Before I continue will we bother with the starters?”
“That was easy for me to decide as I’m having a Shrimp Cocktail.” I responded before turning to Sophie. “Are you having anything for a starter honey?”
“What do you recommend dad?” Sophie asked as she showed me her menu and I looked through it before pointing to the Diver Scallops.
“You like seafood don’t you?” I asked and Sophie nodded. “Go with them, they are good!” I responded and Sophie nodded enthusiastically. “What about you babe, what are you having?”
“I think I’ll have the scallops as well.” Charlotte responded and I turned my focus back to the menu, after a few minutes I finally made my decision and Charlotte noticed it when she saw the grin on my face. “You made your choice?”
“Yep and since it was my birthday yesterday I’m going with a big one! The 32 ounce Porterhouse!” I responded and Charlotte whistled once she saw it on the menu. “The price won’t be a problem won’t it? I can cover you.”
“Steve, we’re doing this for your birthday, keep your wallet in your pocket.” Charlotte responded with a laugh. “The price isn’t a problem anyway, I still have some money left over from Christmas and my yearly paycheck from SCW, and I’m just impressed that you’re willing to put something that big and meaty in your mouth and……I just realized how dirty I made a Porterhouse Steak sound and I’m not going to continue that sentence.”
“Babe, I made worse innuendos than that in the whole two years I spent in GWA combined.” I responded and Charlotte shook her head, before I could add anything the waitress came over to take our orders and we made them, she walked off and I turned to her. “Speaking of SCW, any word from my partner or opponents this week?”
“Not a peep.” Charlotte responded and I nodded, normally I’d be worried but it was New Year’s Eve yesterday. “I’m a bit concerned about Connor since he didn’t promote his debut match against Jimmy.”
“I’m sure it’ll be fine and if not I have my alliance with Cyrus to fall back on.” I responded and Charlotte frowned as the waitress brought our drinks over, before I could thank her “Raise the Flag” by Airborne, also known as my ringtone, rang out and I frowned. “I thought I told everyone not to call me?”
“It’s probably something high priority.” Charlotte responded and I checked the phone, I quickly recognized the number as Cyrus’s and I frowned. “It’s Cyrus isn’t it?”
“Sorry babe but I have to take this and you know why.” I responded and Charlotte nodded with an annoyed sigh before I turned to the waitress. “You mind if I step out for a few minutes?“ I asked and she shook her head. “Great, can you give me a shout when the food arrives?”
“If I can’t I’ll ask the maître de to do it.” The waitress answered and I nodded before standing up and heading into the lobby of the hotel, once I found a quiet spot I answered my phone. “Cyrus, I told you not to call me unless it’s important!”
“I’d call planning our next move against The Saviors important.” Cyrus responded and I sighed in resignation. “Look, I know you said that you’re spending time with your family and I understand that, I have a wife as well after all.”
“Yeah but you don’t have any children.” I responded and Cyrus sighed. “We don’t even know if The Saviors will show up! You heard what they said after their match with the Guns for Hire!”
“Yeah, I heard but everyone didn’t think Max Burke would return either and, well, look at what happened at the last Climax Control.” Cyrus responded and I nodded realizing he had a point. “So where are you eating tonight?”
“Craftsteak in Las Vegas, it’s a steakhouse in the MGM Grand Casino.” I responded and Cyrus let out an impressed whistle. “You’ve eaten there?”
“No but I heard good things, sounds like your wife is really treating her little birthday boy!” Cyrus responded and I chuckled. “Hard to believe that we’re the same age yet you’ve accomplished more than I have.” Cyrus added and I shook my head. “Hey, you mind giving me a review of the place next time you see me? Miranda’s looking for places to celebrate our anniversary.”
“Remind me at Climax Control and I will.” I responded before checking the time. “Cyrus, I gotta go, I have a promo to do and I just ordered my food, oh and if you even think of singing Happy Birthday I’ll Fearless Shot your teeth down your throat.”
“Got it, see you at Climax Control.” Cyrus responded with a chuckle before hanging up, I pocketed my phone before turning to the camera.
“You ever hear that “New Year, new me” stuff? Most of the time they don’t follow through with that particular resolution for a number of factors but this is a New Year and it’s a new me and you know what? I mean every word of it! By the end of the year I will at the very least be a one time champion in SCW and that is my guarantee! And it all starts this week when I team up with Connor Murphy to take on “Big Money” Jimmy Ringo and Mickey Carol, or as I like to call them Douchebag Inc.!”
First up is Jimmy!
“Jimmy, it’s not often that a guy bursts onto the scene and immediately becomes one of the most hated guys on the roster but not only did you manage it but you did it Kool Aid Man style! That said your debut match against my partner wasn’t that impressive considering you were getting your ass kicked for most of it and you only won after cheating and let me tell you something kid! Try that crap with me and you’ll regret it!”
Next up is Mickey.
“Mickey, a few weeks ago I considered you to be someone I could get along with if I approached you, not only did that never happen but you turned your back on your longtime pall Ben Jordan and now your teaming up with this douchebag! Mickey, I’ve been down that road myself and trust me, it never works and all you’ll end up feeling is regret for your actions but don’t worry, after this week I’ll see you on that path immediately!”
And with that I decided to wrap things up because I’m hungry.
“2014 is upon us and I intend to start the year with a bang rather than a whimper! I may not be in the running for any titles at the moment but after this week’s Climax Control I’ll be well on the way to earning me some gold! Jimmy, Mickey, just remember that there’s nothing to fear but fear itself and no one to fear but “The Fearless One” Steve Ramone!”
I saw the matre de calling me over and once I figured out that the food had arrived I walked back to the restaurant as the scene fades.
