The Blast from the past tournament was well under way and so far the following teams where through to the next round, Jessie Salco and Landon Axel, Gene Burton Jr. and Amy Marshall (eliminating last year’s champion Jordan Williams in the process), Simon Jones and Brandi Shotze and Roxi Johnson and Argento who qualified in last week’s main event.
This week four more hopeful teams looked towards the second round, more specifically Vixen and Jamie Dean, Song and Ben Jordan, Derek Thorne and Diamond, Ethan Brody and Delia, Misty and the focus for today’s promo Cyrus King and Steve Ramone and the mystery Bombshell…..who were also the focus of this promo, that’s right, the unlikely alliance between Cyrus King and Steve Ramone was going to be put to the test as they were facing off in the first round of the Blast from the Past Tournament, both men were looking to advance themselves in the rankings by using this tournament but can Cyrus win?

Do you ever wonder who you get into these messes?
Not me, I know exactly how I got into this mess and that was the moment I signed up for the Blast from the Past Tournament, and then Steve decided to sign up thinking that Mark and Christian wouldn’t book us against each other in the first round.
Note to Steve, NEVER TAKE UP GAMBLING!
That’s right that was exactly what they did! Though on the other hand I can’t complain about the Bombshell that they teamed me up with, Misty, she’s a veteran of the sport and if SCW ever opened a Hall of Fame I’m sure that she’d be one of the first inductions, Steve on the other hand has no idea who he’s teaming with.
Literally, he’s teaming up with that mystery entrant!
On one hand they have the element of surprise in their corner as Steve’s mystery partner could be the returning Odette Ryder for all we know! On the other hand, they have the element of surprise in their corner as Steve’s partner could be one of the backstage interviewers for all he knows! Regardless of my friendship with Steve and the mystery behind his partner I’m more than confident that we can make it through to the next round.
If my friendship with Steve is still intact when all is said and done however is another issue entirely!
“Look man, I didn’t exactly ask for this match!” Steve said over the phone as I got changed into my workout gear, me and Miranda are at the gym getting ready for a workout and whilst I’ll be on the weights she’ll be going for a swim in the swimming pool, fun times! “If I had that kind of power I would’ve asked for a match with Max Burke’s team instead!”
“Right, you have quite the history with Burke, don’t you?” I asked rhetorically as I started doing some stretches.
“Yeah and I’m still hoping to get another shot at the Roulette Title!” Steve responded and I nodded with a frown. “At least you know who you’re teaming with!”
“Not only that but I have one of the best partners I could ask for in this tournament!” I responded as I put a muscle shirt on. “Misty’s accolades in the ring speak for themselves!”
“I know and that’s what makes me nervous about teaming with a mystery partner!” Steve added and I chuckled. “On one hand I know it’s not Jessie because her team’s already qualified.”
“On the other hand it could be her sister!” I responded and Steve laughed. “Speaking of Jessie…..”
“No, I haven’t spoken to Jessie since Climax Control, no, I don’t know if she accepted Shane’s somehow cheesier than my proposal to Charlotte proposal and no, I didn’t see any engagement rings on their fingers.” Steve responded as if he knew what I was going to ask. “They were wearing gloves on the hands where the engagement rings go.”
“Hold on, it was very hot in that arena and Long Beach in general……yet they still wore gloves?” I asked skeptically and Steve shook his head, we were chatting via Facetime so I could see his face. “What’s the big deal? We’re both married and we have no problems communicating that fact!”
“I’d say its age different but I was around Jessie’s age when I got engaged to Charlotte, you were a bit older weren’t you?” Steve asked and I nodded. “Maybe they are waiting until the right time to reveal it?”
“If they wanted to do that why not save it for the next Supercard?” I pointed out and Steve shrugged his shoulders in response. “Look, I don’t know the kid but if she said yes I’m happy for her, if not then maybe she wants to wait until she’s a bit older.”
“Yeah well, if you’re really that curious about it I’ll try to find an excuse to chat with her on Facebook, Bloodstock announcement, SCW, wrestling in general, I’ll think of something!” Steve responded and noticed that I went to say something. “I tried asking her at Climax Control and she dodged the question like a bullet!”
“You tried her NXT teammates? If anyone knows her better than her adopted family members it’s them.” I pointed out and Steve shook his head.
“I don’t know the other members of NXT well enough to ask them otherwise I would’ve done it by now.” Steve responded and I nodded. “And I’m willing to bet that they know as much as we do.”
“Speaking of bets, remember when you bet that this match wasn’t going to happen until a later round?” I asked and Steve rolled his eyes knowing where I was going with this. “Don’t go into gambling.”
“Cyrus, if I had a dollar for each time that Charlotte told me that since the match got announced I wouldn’t need to gamble!” Steve responded and I chuckled. “Speaking of whom, I gotta go!”
“Same here, I’ve got some trash talk and weight lifting to do.” I responded and before Steve could object to me using a phone-call between us in a promo for a match that featured the two of us going head-to head I hung up on him and tossed the IPhone into the locker before locking it, the locker room was mostly deserted, likely due to how early it was, giving me a chance to do my promo.
“Sorry to do that to you Steve, but when the cameracrew showed up at the gym just as we were talking it was too good an opportunity to miss up! As you know this week we will be locking horns in the ring! I have the size advantage, you have the experience advantage, and not to mention actually having wins under your belt! But then there are our partners for this Blast from the Past Tournament match! In my corner I have the beautiful and talented Misty in your corner you have a mystery woman!”
I may actually win this match! Anyway I may as well pick up where I left off and address Steve.
“Steve, we made our debuts in SCW at exactly the same time! I took on James Hawkes and you took on the local retirement home’s newest resident Casey Williams, our fates may have been different that day but we were untied by one goal, The Saviors! And we all saw what happened after their debut match, didn’t we? That was before the New Year and a lot has happened since then such as the two of us being forced to take each other on!”
I said as I shook my head.
“It takes a lot to earn my respect as a wrestler but it typically falls under one of two categories, when you’re an accomplished veteran in the ring like you and Misty or when you’re a fellow ex-army member such as “Big Tiger” Jeremiah Hardin! That said I hold nothing back in the ring and this match will be no exception! No matter whom your mystery partner is Steve I and Misty will go through to the next round!”
Next up is the mystery opponent.
“I know I can’t take on the women and as a married man who loves his wife and would never even dream of hurting her I wouldn’t do it anyway unlike “Big Money” Jimmy Ringo!” I added as I shook my head in disgust. “But Jessie Salco addressed both of her opponents in her match and that worked out perfectly for her team so who am I to deviate from what works? Granted, the fact that it’s a mystery opponent makes it significantly more difficult to do but I’ll try my best!”
Not exactly the first time I’ve faced a mystery opponent.
“The problem lies in the fact that the only thing I know about Steve’s partner is that, unless Steve got a sex change when I wasn’t looking, it’s pretty much guaranteed to be a Bombshell! Other than that I have no clue and neither does Misty for that matter! Now granted there are a lot of Bombshells who didn’t sign up for the tournament so it could be an existing roster member hoping to use the element of surprise to her advantage! On the other hand it could be Hope Heelcum using some loophole to claim that he’s a Bombshell at which point Steve will become the Bad Luck Brian of the Blast from the Past Tournament! In all seriousness though, no matter who Steve’s partner is we are ready for anyone who steps into the ring with us!”
And with that I decided to wrap things up.
“When I signed up for Blast from the Past II I wasn’t expecting to be teamed up with someone as renowned as Misty, nor was I expecting to be put up against a man who I consider a close friend! But in the ring there are no friends only enemies and when all is said and done, no matter whom Steve’s partner is they will join Steve in bowing down to the king!”
I finally locked my locker and left the locker room as the scene fades.
This week four more hopeful teams looked towards the second round, more specifically Vixen and Jamie Dean, Song and Ben Jordan, Derek Thorne and Diamond, Ethan Brody and Delia, Misty and the focus for today’s promo Cyrus King and Steve Ramone and the mystery Bombshell…..who were also the focus of this promo, that’s right, the unlikely alliance between Cyrus King and Steve Ramone was going to be put to the test as they were facing off in the first round of the Blast from the Past Tournament, both men were looking to advance themselves in the rankings by using this tournament but can Cyrus win?
