Well look what we have here. Once again it’s the tale that never seems to end in the never ending story between myself and Andrea Hernandez. To be honest there are so many thoughts that goes through my mind when I think about Andrea Hernandez. When the two of first met I really saw something within her. There were traits and qualities about her that drew me close to her. We both came from strong Mexican wrestling family backgrounds. We both are multi-generational athletes and we loved what it meant to be something bigger. I honestly saw parts of me in her. I will admit I was a little overbearing but I just wanted her to know that I was here to give her a helping hand.

She did not want to hear it though. She quickly pushed me aside and didn’t hesitate to beat me to become World Bombshell Champion. Even though she was mean and she wanted to drift away from me I tried my best to keep on reaching her. I even went as far as to show her that our two families were connected in Mexico but even that didn’t matter.

She just wanted to see the world in through her own lens and I had to come to respect that. As much as we have been at war with one another I felt it to be super amazing when I finally got over the hump and I made this Bitch scream I Quit for all of the world to see. It felt amazing and it was what I enjoyed.

It’s an image that I won’t ever forget and that’s all that really mattered. I know after I won that match it felt like a weight had been lifted off of me. I then went on to be even more successful but that felt like it was so long ago.

Those days are definitely a long time ago and I feel like I could do so much better than that day.

We have been through a lot and honestly it wasn’t that long ago before the two of us fought one another. What more could I really say?!

I just need to get past Andrea so I could focus on Queen for a Day.

Once I get to that match and win I could focus on how I really plan to shape my career for the better. So bring it on, give me the fight of your life and I will answer whatever she plans to bring to the table.

See you soon.

Crystal had made the trip over to Iceland for the big tour. The Mexican American found herself in a local gym where she was working out by herself. It wasn’t that long until she was joined by that of Mackenzie Page. Mackenzie was the more violent woman of London Underground. Crystal was working on doing some squats when the blonde British woman walked over to her.

“I am glad you found yourself into a gym, I didn’t know if you were going to take things seriously or not?!”

Crystal slowly turned her attention over to her friend as a sigh escapes her lips.

“That’s not what I want to hear Kenzie… All of this is just so frustrating to me. I thought I was really a big deal. I thought that SCW respected me. I poured so much into that company in the same way I poured just about everything I had into helping the Golden Ring Casino with the expansion and getting a casino but it just seems like nobody respects me…”

Mackenzie just rolls her eyes as she looks deeply into Crystal’s eyes as the Hispanic turns around to face her.

“You know that’s all in your head right?! Daniel respects you. All of us at the casino respect you. We just want you to respect yourself?!”

Zdunich just places her hands on her hips as she gazes deeply into Mackenzie’s eyes.

“That’s easy for you to say when you aren’t the one that SCW refused to book. It’s like I wasn’t good enough. Ever since I dropped the ball to Mercedes and then to Harper the company doesn’t see anything for me, and…”

Mackenzie just shakes her head as she looks back at Crystal.

“So you need to figure that out… Don’t say anything, just prove to them that you deserve to be here and let everything else do the talking… Do that and nobody can take anything from you…”

Crystal just nods her head as she goes back to working out.

Las Vegas, Nevada
Golden Ring Casino
Present Day

Crystal couldn’t help but smile as she stood outside of the Golden Ring Casino. A crowd of people had gathered around as there was a huge ribbon stretched across a brand new building that was attached to the casino. It had taken many months but it was finally done. Behind Crystal stood a building just as tall as the casino, Crystal wasn’t alone as her bodyguard Charlotte Elliot was beside her. Crystal stood confidently clad in her business suit. She walked in her red bottom Louboutin heels. She ran her hands through her long blue hair as she started to speak.

“Welcome everyone and thank you for joining me on this special day. I am so grateful for Daniel J. Morgan for taking a chance on me. I am going to be honest I never expected to be standing in this position as the acting director for the Casino. I came a long way from being the personal assistant to Mark Ward to eventually making my way over to this casino as a waitress in the restaurant area. Since that time I have worked as hard as I possibly could and Daniel promoted me to become Events Coordinator…”

The crowd all begin to cheer as Crystal takes a long deep breath and continues to speak.

“I know I excelled in that role as an Events Coordinator and honestly it’s how I came to know my little daughter through her mother and it’s a blessing that I was able to help that little girl out and adopt her when her mother passed away. Aurora is my entire world and I wouldn’t have come to know her if it wasn’t for this establishment and the position that Daniel has put me in. With that being said while he is off handling some important business back in London he has left me in charge as the director of this establishment and business has been booming…”

The people begin to clap their hands together as he speaks some more.

“With that being said today is a monumental day for the Golden Ring Casino. In addition to the extension that we have made to our gaming floors adding in a big section for our highest rollers, it is my pleasure to finally introduce the expansion of the casino to finally incorporate a hotel. You will see ten floors of one of the finest establishments in all of Vegas. We hope that all of you will choose us to your gambling or as least accommodation needs. Today I present to you the rebranding of our Casino. Welcome to the Golden Ring Casino and Suites. It is officially open for business…”

Crystal smiles as she takes the scissors and she cuts the huge ribbon that is behind her. This draws a huge pop from the crowd. She smiles as she looks around and continues to speak some more.

“Anyway take it for what you want but I just have a feeling this is going to be one of the most premier places to stay in all of Vegas…”

Charlotte looks over at Crystal and nods her head at her.

“That went insanely well. Daniel is going to be proud of this. You don’t have any idea at how long he has waited or wanted to expand on the casino. This is definitely a milestone in the right direction and he is going to be so proud of you…”

Zdunich just grins in return as she looks back at her friend and just agrees.

“Honestly it just feels good being able to really pour my best into something. Daniel does so much and I am happy that I could at least make one of his dreams come true. I still can’t believe this is all coming true Charlotte. We are actually going to have a hotel at the casino…”

Charlotte nods her head as she looks back at her friend.

“Exactly, and if you play your cards right you might end up being the hotel manager. I know you are acting director now but Daniel might have bigger plans for you… Have you decided who the first people will be to stay into this hotel?!”

Crystal nods her head before she glances over at her phone. A long deep breath emerges from out of her lips as she begins to speak.

“Hello everyone, now I know the question that is on everybody’s mind. Who is going to be among the first people to actually stay in this hotel?! That in itself is very simple to ask. As much as we as a hotel love to strive to make money the truth is our main concern is on everybody’s safety. There are parts of me being a special events coordinator that will never leave me and with that being said our hearts go out to those in California who are affected by the wild fires. A lot of people are being asked to evacuate their home and it’s been tough on so many people. While we are another state away what we can offer is offering our hotel as a safe haven and a shelter for those seeking refuge. We take what’s going on in California very seriously and we want to help all we can. All are welcomed, thank you and enjoy your night…”

With that Crystal blows kisses as we slowly fade out on this image.

4 Months Ago
Las Vegas, Nevada
Golden Ring Casino

Ever since Crystal was embarrassed at the hands of Mercedes and then Krystal, Crystal Zdunich had decided to take a leave of SCW. The main reason being is that things back at the Golden Ring Casino had been extremely busy. The events coordinator for Golden Ring had now been acting as the bar manager with the disappearance of Danielle Weston and due to a shortage in help she even went back to double in her old role as a waitress. This might have seen like a demotion for the longtime actress and Hall of Fame wrestler but she really loved that she could keep herself busy. Crystal was clad in her waitressing attire as she stood by the kitchen and spoke to all of the workers.

“Chef Jean-Luc please make sure to keep the food rolling and get the cooks in the kitchen working! Table 5 is waiting on two burgers, I have table 9 waiting on a porterhouse steak, and table 19 wants that Salmon well-done. Let’s go!!! Everybody work hard we are going to get through this!”

Crystal spots different waitresses coming in and out of the back. There is a plate of stuffed shrimp and calamari that is placed in front of the blue haired vixen, and she doesn’t hesitate to pick it up and place it on a huge tray. She quickly exits the kitchen and presents it in front of two customers.

“Sorry about the wait, if you need anything else at all by all means I will be there to help you, and if there’s anything that I can do for you personally please let me know and I will accommodate you…”

Crystal couldn’t help but run around like a chicken with its head cut off. She walked over to the bar as she shouted to the barmaid behind the counter “Samantha I need those drinks to keep on rolling. I know it’s busy and we are short staffed but I just need your best…”

The blonde just smiles as she begins to mix a margarita. She smirks as she winks back at Crystal.

“Don’t worry about Christina, I am all over it. Girl you could definitely use a drink. I don’t even want to know how many steps you have done today…”

Crystal just giggles before she plants her head on the table.

“I doubt you even WANT to know but this is exhausting. I forgot how it was to be a waitress. Seems like it was forever since Daniel hired on at the casino and I worked my way up into being the Events Coordinator. This is so far away from my office but honestly I enjoy it…About that drink… I totally would but you know… The whole recovering alcoholic thing and I rather not break my sobriety…”

“I can respect that… Just keep pushing girl. As long as you are running things you know I would walk to the ends of the Earth for you…”

Crystal grabs a hold of the two drinks and she brings them to a different set of customers. Crystal keeps moving and moving until she is approached by the two female members of London Underground. Mackenzie and Charlotte just stand in front of Crystal as they cross their arms together. Mackenzie gives Crystal a look that kills before she starts speaking to her.

“Christina, Daniel wants to have a word with you…”

Crystal looks around before she looks back at her friend.

“Wait he wants to talk to me?! I am sure it can wait. Don’t you see how busy everything is at the bar? This is like the busiest night we have had in a long time. We got a major boxing fight on tonight and I don’t think it’s a good idea for me to step away…”

Charlotte just shrugs her shoulders as she glances back at Crystal.

“We really weren’t asking for you to come, we are telling you he wants to have a word so you know what that means. Just come with us. It would be much simpler if you didn’t overreact…”

With that Crystal follows the two women as they lead her to Daniel’s office. Crystal steps inside of the office and she has a seat in front of Daniel J. Morgan. He leans forward and stares directly into her eyes before he crosses his arms and begins to speak.

“First and foremost I just want to say that I am proud of you Christina…”

Crystal rolls her eyes before she leans back in the chair.

“Wait a minute, I thought you were going to say something bad to me…”

“Not in the slightest. On the contrary I would be a fool if I didn’t just come out and say that. All of your hard work is definitely being noticed. When Dani left the bar I didn’t know you would be the one to step up but I am so happy that you are. On top of that you been pushing forward with your own job of being events coordinator and it seems like you have been pouring your all into this casino…”

Crystal just nods her head with a grin.

“Thank you. I just want to do my best. I remember when I was just a waitress and how busy things got. So when Danielle stepped away I just wanted to help out so nobody would get overwhelmed. Most of the staff seems to be new so it just felt natural to try to assist where needed. I am appreciative for you shouting me out but the restaurant is very busy tonight and I really need to be out there…”

Daniel nods his head as he looks back at Crystal.

“The real reason why I wanted to call you into the office is because I have a family emergency going on back home in England. I need to go back and I have no idea on how long I am going to be gone for. I have noticed the way you have run the bar area and I thought you could do things on an even bigger scale. With me gone somebody is going to need to step in and fill my shoes and I just think that you would be the perfect fit for that role…”

Crystal is taken back.

“Wait, you think I could do your job?!”

“Of course you can do it because I believe in you. So with me going away and going back to England consider yourself the acting director of the entire casino. You have the full say of everything that is going on within the casino. I know that everything will be in good hands and I am not going to leave you alone. I am leaving Mackenzie and Charlotte to watch your back and to make sure that everything runs smoothly and nobody threatens you. Other than that I trust in you and I have full confidence that you are going to take things to an even higher level…”

Crystal cracks a grin before she shrugs her shoulders a bit.

“This all sounds like a wonderful idea although do you really think I am in a position where I should be trusted?!”

Mackenzie looks as she steps forward.

“That was my thoughts exactly. I trust in Crystal but she is a recovering alcoholic, she is a recovering drug addict. Do you think that putting her in charge of an establishment in the heart of Sin City is really a good idea?! There is just too much temptation in this city and I don’t want her to falter when she gets backed into a corner.”

Crystal just puts her head down as she looks away with a sigh.

“Mackenzie does have a point…”

Daniel smirks.

“I know she does but that’s why I am also leaving both you and Charlotte to look over Christina. You are going to make sure that she doesn’t place herself in a situation or a position that she has no business in being in. I trust that as her body guards you would look out for her but more importantly than that as friends you wouldn’t let a fellow member of this casino to do something that she isn’t supposed to be doing. So as much as Christina might have a troubled past I am of the full confidence that she is in perfect hands.”

Charlotte and Mackenzie both nod their heads as Daniel looks back at Crystal.

“Anyway everything is in your hands now. I know you are going to run this efficiently and effectively. I don’t know when I will be back but one thing that I am not worried about is if things are in great hands or not…”

Crystal smiles as she nods her head in agreement.

“Thank you so much Daniel, I won’t fail you. I am going to do my best…”

“That’s all I want. As long as you do your best that’s all anybody could ever hope for…”

With that Crystal just grins as we leave this image.






It’s been a long time coming but from the bottom of my heart can I just say that it feels so good to be back in SCW?! Honestly words cannot express how I feel about being in this company and being able to wrestle for a company where I am a Hall of Famer and a five time World Champion. I know the question that is on everybody’s mind. Why did I want to come back?!

This question could be answered in so many ways?! Yes I do eventually want to become a six time World Champion because I know that has never really been done before especially for a woman. I do wish to become a Tag Team Champion just so I can finally accomplish my dream and say that I was a Grand Slam Champion.

There are so many different reasons on why I want to be back and why I want to compete here. it definitely isn’t about the money, or even the fame because at this point I would just be stat pad chasing. This isn’t an attempt to pad my ego or to get caught up and people looking at the same old Crystal that you are all used to seeing. To be honest the real reason why I wanted to come back to this company is for the simple fact that I love being here. I love SCW… It’s my heart and soul. I will be the first to admit that in my last two outings in this company they weren’t in the way that I wanted it to be. I remember getting decimated and sent packing by Bella Madison and in this last outing I got destroyed by Mercedes Vargas, and got humiliated by the other Krystal.

It seems like a huge fall from grace for me but that’s not the narrative I want to push, and it’s especially not the type of image I want to portray to my soon to be 14 year old daughter. If you are going to do something, you are going to do it with excellence. You are going to put your all into everything and I just want to put on a performance that my fans are going to love.

I also get a chance to step into the ring and team up with my wife and that brings a smile to my face.

Anyway Bobbie and Harper you better bring your best because the Zdunichs are coming.
 

The cameras come into focus and as they do we are treated to the sight of Crystal Zdunich with a wicked grin on her face. She smiles as she stands next to a cardboard cutout of Tempest before her face meets with that of the camera.

“Ladies and gentlemen can we all just wish one of my new BFFLs a very happy birthday. Tempest is amazing and she is like the best Internet Champion to have ever stepped foot inside of an SCW ring. I am happy that I am her friend and seeing what went down on Climax Control when Mercedes Vargas stole a win over my AMAZING friend has pissed me off and I am not going to take it lightly…”

Crystal sighs as she shakes her head in disgust and continues to share her heart.

“Nobody and I mean should do that to Tempest especially not Mercedes Vargas. Vargas what has honestly gotten into you?! At one point I used to consider you a friend. You and I have brought that Argentinian and Mexican attitude to this company and we both have shown that Latinas can indeed do it so much better. it didn’t matter if we had to shout our Spanglish at people but at the end of the day we both proved that we are belonging and that everybody should take us seriously.”

She nods her head as she smirks and speaks some more.

“That is where the two of us were and I know you would be the first to constantly remind everybody that you have among most of the matches that a bombshell has ever had. You would throw yourself down at people’s throats and tell them how you were champion among champion. You did a lot to really throw yourself out there. I know you had the ability to beat Tempest fair but you had to resort into being a dirty little Bitch. You just had to use a pair of brass knuckles to take a cheap shot at her and that’s not right. I can’t even respect the way that you got to this title match because this so isn’t you but then again I remember that you are a woman who is way past her prime. You are at 44 years of age and are slowing down. I doubt you have it in you anymore to actually be a relevant star so these are the methods you have to resort to in order to bring yourself back to the spotlight…”

Crystal shakes her head as she crosses her arms.

“It’s ridiculous and I definitely don’t approve of what you did. It doesn’t sit well with me and it’s time for me to stand up and be that amazing friend to Tempest. I don’t know if you know this or not but I am the one who asked for this match because I felt it was in my interest to teach you a major lesson in ode to my great friend Tempie… You see Tempie and I are like super Biffles… Her daughter totes sees me as this hero and as the Winter Rose I need to showcase that I am always in full bloom and it really doesn’t matter the season that we are in. The only thing that does matter is that I need to go down to that ring and get your butt because that’s all that matters…

Let’s face it don’t Mercy you have talked yourself up. You have done so much in this company but you know fully well how much friends mean to me. You were there when in 3WL when Veronica Valiant had gotten the best of me. It was supposed to be your little team of VVMV but I had to get involved because I became an obsessed fan. I started to dress like Veronica, I started to think like Veronica. I even teamed up with you and carried you to tag team championships because I thought it would make her happy. When I am locked in on somebody that I appreciate I would do anything for them. So seeing as it’s my amazing friend’s birthday I plan to give her the best present that a girl could have ever asked for.

She is going to get the gift of me delivering a major butt kicking to you. I am going to show you that one shouldn’t have to cheat in order to get what you want. Honor and class still exists in the wrestling world and it’s going to be those things which elevates me to gaining a massive win over you. After I beat you I could talk to my newfound BFFL about more important things such as…”

Crystal smiles widely.

“CAKE FLAVORS… I mean I forgot if she liked butter cream or whipped cream, I forgot seeing as she sent me through the cake but surely it was a mistake at the time. I am sooooo show if we go back in time… Like Tempest!!! Yes in a totes David Carradine way. SHE TOTES WOULD NOT PUT ME THROUGH THE CAKE BECAUSE WE ARE SUPER DUPER AND AMAZING FRIENDS…. We can discuss other important things such as makeovers, the notebook, Twilight and maybe bond over BRIDGERTON… OMG this friendship will be amazing!  Anyway bring it on Mercedes, I will be waiting for you.

Off Camera
Present Day

Crystal tossed and turned in bed before she rose up out of bed screaming at the top of her lungs.

“NOOOOO… This can’t be the end of my career… I can’t stop… I love wrestling and I need to get back out there!!!”

Crystal opened her eyes and was surprised to realize that she was in the comfort of her own bed. Seleana slowly sat up beside her as thirteen year old Aurora came into the room. The teenager jumped into the bed as she gazed into the eyes of her mother.

“Are you okay mom?!”

Seleana could see that sweat was dripping down the forehead of Christina. She grabs a thermometer and uses it against Crystal’s forehead and the temperature read 101.6. Seleana opened her eyes in amazement as she slowly got out of bed and grabbed a towel to press across Crystal’s head.

“Babe… You are burning up with a fever. Is everything okay?!”

Both ladies just glanced over at Crystal who couldn’t help but glance back at her daughter.

“…To be honest not really. Ever since this match was announced I have been having PTSD thinking about what Bella did to me last time. She put me in the hospital. I couldn’t even walk out of the arena on my own two feet. I had to be stretchered out. I keep having visions of doctors surrounding me telling me that maybe I shouldn’t wrestle anymore. How I can’t afford to take any more head injuries and I am putting my livelihood at risk every time I step out into that ring…”

Aurora is very concerned at this point as she just rests her head against her mother.

“Mom… I remember what Bella did to you and it was really bad. I don’t want her to ever do that to you ever again…”

Crystal slowly nods her head.

“I know pumpkin and I definitely don’t want to feel that happening to me again either. It has only brought the worst of nightmares but I have to admit that I was a different woman back then and I deserved everything that came my way…”

“Mom…”

Crystal slowly looks down into the eyes of her daughter.

“Yes pumpkin?!”

Aurora quickly shakes her head as she looks firmly at her mother.

“You aren’t that woman anymore! I don’t care if the entire world refuses to believe in you or they think you are a phony and a fraud. In my eyes you aren’t the woman that they say you are. I know you have done a lot of bad stuff in the past but I don’t think it is your entire fault. You were sick and were dealing with an addiction. Maybe the drugs took a hold of your life and caused you to act a certain way…”

Crystal looks at her daughter and can’t help but smile. Even when crystal felt like she was the worst woman in the entire world Aurora made her feel as if she was still a hero. Seleana nods as well as she looks at her wife.

“Ja…All that matters is you are doing well now and this is what we care about. None of that stuff from the past even matters…”

Crystal just shrugs her shoulders as she looks back at the two of them.

“I appreciate all of your love. It means the entire world to me but I don’t want to get caught up in thinking that drugs are the excuse for everything because honestly it’s not. There was a part of me that was pulling the strings and I have to be respect that some of it was me. I take ownership for the shortcomings and can only vow to do better next time…”

Aurora hugs her mother even tighter as she keeps looking at Crystal.

“Mommy… Let it go… I forgive you…. I forgive you of your mistakes. I forgive that you got drunk in me. I just want you to ever do those things ever again…”

“I won’t pumpkin… I want ever try to hurt you ever again, and I won’t be in a position where you see me get hurt either… Seleana…”

Crystal looks at her wife as the tears slowly begin to stream down her face.

“…I am sorry for the lies. I am sorry for putting my hands on you two summers ago and throwing a fit when things didn’t go my way…”

Seleana remains very focused as she looks as deeply as she can into her wife’s eyes.

“Chickie… I have always forgiven you and none of that matters, I know you feel like you are one big failure but I have never seen things that way. in my eyes you are my everything and always do what is best for our family. Marriage is an ongoing work in progress. Some days are going to be good days and there will also be bad days. As long as we come together at the end of those days that is all that really matters…For better or for worse, but honestly it has always been better days…”

She holds Crystal as tightly as she can, Aurora joins in as she refuses to let go. Both women are really making Crystal feel how loved she is. The blue haired vixen just wipes her tears as she looks at the both of them.

“I love you both so much. You have no idea how much you all mean to me…”

Aurora just hugs her back as those little brown eyes look back at Crystal.

“Mommy can I ask you a question?!”

“Of course… You know I am always willing to answer whatever question you might have…Fire away…”

“Are you afraid to fight against Bella Madison?!”

Crystal sighs.

“Do you want me to be honest…”

“Of course I do. That’s why I am asking you….”

“Truthfully I am a bit nervous. I just don’t want the same thing to happen in this match that happened during our last one. I want to actually walk out of the arena and I want to be in a position when I can safely come home to the both of you, and of course Alexandra as well…”

Aurora however quickly shakes her head as she looks deep into her mother’s eyes.

“You don’t need to feel like that though. Regardless of how you feel you aren’t the same woman that walked into that original match. You have changed since that day. You are taking things more seriously and I know the result will be different…”

“Oh?! You are that confident in me?!”

Crystal slowly nods her head.

“Of course I am… After all this time you actually decided to show up. Don’t get me wrong Bella seems pretty cool. Juliet’s aunt Dawn constantly talks up Bella so much but I know for a fact that my mom is way cooler. It’s hard to beat up on the coolest woman in the entire world. As long as you focus nobody could ever stop you!”

Crystal is finally all smiles as she looks right back at her daughter. She gives her the thumbs up as she begins to giggle.

“You know what Aurora?! You are right… You do have a really cool mother. I have nothing to be afraid of. I am going to do my best and let my actual ability do all of the talking… This match is going to be for you sweetheart…”

With that Crystal couldn’t help but hug her loved ones as tightly as possible as Aurora smirks.

“Good now good beat Bella and showcase why you are a Hall of Famer and nobody could touch you…”

“I promise… Bella better be ready because as soon as I get into that ring she isn’t going to know what hit her. I guess with your support I can’t ever fail…”

There is laughter in the room. What looked like nightmare has turned into one of the biggest happiest moments in Crystal’s life. The only thing that remained was for Crystal to walk into her match and do the unthinkable. If she could get that horrible lost to Bella off of her back nothing would be able to stop her. It is on the three women just laughing and having a good time with one another that we fade out and we go to elsewhere. The road to recovery was never meant to be easy but it seemed like Crystal was being sincere in every step in its journey.

Hoia Forest, Romania
April 17th, 2023
 
As soon as Climax Control was over the Warren siblings as well as the Chavez siblings made their way over to Romania. It was told that all of the SCW roster housing arrangements were to be in the outdoors in the most haunted place on the planet. However, for our young heroine she didn’t mind having to camp in what might be an eerie situation. She thrived in being in situations like this not to mention as a gold award winner as a former Girl Scout Dawn was ready to handle whatever was thrown at her. Dawn smiled as her and her brother Teddy had finished setting up one tent and their focus was trying to set up the other one. Dawn giggled as she looks right at her brother.
 
“OH MY GOSHIE… I really can’t believe we get to camp out! Isn’t this sooooooo cool and amazing?! We are going to have such a great time together. I packed us some stuff to make plenty of s’mores on top of that I made sure to pack us some ponchos so that we don’t get wet by the rain. This is going to be such a fun time…”
 
Teddy just shakes his head as he looks back at his sister with an uneasy expression on his face.
 
“…Right… You call camping outside fun?! You know I don’t do well being outside. I am an inside individual. I need my electronics, I need my computer, hell I could use my king size bed. On top of that bugs and I don’t really agree with one another. Mosquitos shouldn’t be blessed with tasting this sweet blood of mine…”
 
Dawn rolls her eyes as she shakes her head.
 
“You are such a dweeb and a punk. Had you let mom and dad enroll you into boy scouts like they put me in girl scouts you would be prepared for moments such as this. Not to mention you are missing the most important thing about being outdoors. Don’t you think it would be a good luck for you to be snuggling up with Michelle around a camp fire?! How about kissing her under some moonlight, or better yet making love in the outdoors in the tent. That could be something unique for the relationship…”
 
Teddy thinks about it as he forms a slight grin.
 
“You know I really didn’t about it like that. That definitely sounds doable but they say this is supposed to be the most haunted place on Earth. Aren’t you afraid of all the paranormal activity that might exist out here. So much can happen and it might freak me out…”
 
Dawn just places her hands on her hips as she looks right up into his eyes.
 
“There is no such thing as ghosts. On top of that as a woman who idolizes Scrappy Doo and the entirety of the Scooby Doo Franchise monsters, ghosts, and things like that aren’t real. There is no reason to psyche yourself out over nothing. If anything I am looking forward to when Seleana arrives with Crystal. I can’t believe she has this huge prank set up to scare the hell out of her wife. I just wonder if it is going to work on the woman who feels she is wrestling’s final girl?!”
 
Teddy thinks about it for a few moments as he laughs in return.
 
“I don’t really know but it does feel fun to pick on Christina a bit. She has always made things about her so trolling her and pulling such a prank seems funny. Seleana coming up with this idea makes it even better. Crystal wouldn’t even see it coming…”
 
Dawn nods her head.
 
“I am all for it but I just hope that it doesn’t come across too mean. As much as I love Seleana and I will do whatever or my mentor I really want to know how are you feeling?! It’s been a few weeks since you have been eliminated from the Blast from The Past Tournament and there still hasn’t been any announcement if you are part of the roster or not…”
 
Teddy just sighs shrugging his shoulders as he really doesn’t know what to say. He looks away from Dawn as he turns his attention over to his girlfriend Michelle who could be seen gathering firewood with her sister Melissa in the distance. He slowly moves his head back over to Dawn.
 
“To be honest it’s been weighing heavily on my mind since I lost. I really want to showcase I have the ability to be a full time wrestler again. Everything is going perfect in my life right now. I have the support of my daughter, obviously my little sister looks up to me, and I have found love again. Michelle thinks the world of me and I want to showcase how passionate and focused I am when my mind is on something. I can’t show Chavy that I am a weak man that gives up when things don’t come his way. That’s not me…”
 
Teddy shakes his head as he smiles right at Dawn.
 
“But that’s my struggle, that isn’t your issue Dawn. I can’t help but be proud of you. I spent my entire life trying to protect you. It started when we were in the orphanage and when we went through the foster care system. I wouldn’t let anything happen to you. Little did I know that you were the one that was actually looking out for me. Just look at you Dawn. You decided to step into the world of wrestling and you have been dominating…”
 
Dawn quickly replies back.
 
“That’s only because I had an amazing brother to look up to. I know it gets tiring to see you challenge J2H over and over again, and come up short. It’s embarrassing to see a grown man wet himself and it may look like I am laughing at you along with the rest of the world. That isn’t the case at all though. The reality is watching sometimes becomes frustrating not because I think that you are this embarrassment but because I know that there is so much potential within you. You just don’t seem as focus as you should be. You give up too easily and that shouldn’t be the case. I know that you have all of the power to beat J2H just like you have the power to beat a Ben Jordan, a Fenris, or even a Michael Harris. The only thing that can stop you from doing your best is you…
 
I thought that if I lived my life as a go getter and being an over achiever at everything that you would see how I always strive to do my complete best and for that to rub off on you. Sometimes it just seems like it’s not registering and that disappoints me. I just want to see that brother who protected me when I was young to have that same fire inside of the ring. “
 
Dawn looks at her brother and Teddy can’t help but embrace her into a big hug.
 
“Dawn… I didn’t know that’s how you felt about me. Rest assured if things work out and I do get on the roster as a full time superstar you are going to see the best Teddy that you have ever seen. You don’t have to worry about that. What I do want from you is to win the Blast from The Past. Show the world that the Warren family is World Championship material. You came this far. You have worked hard being undefeated. You have poured everything into getting into the Semi-finals you just need to get past Bobbie Dahl and after that you are in the finals. You have the power and the ability. You know what you need to do…”
 
Dawn nods her head as a grin escapes her hips.
 
“I will do my…. You know what forget doing my best. For the entire Warren family, I am going to go out there and win. It’s all or nothing, and I am going guarantee my way into the finals.”
 
“Good… Because if you make it past this round you have officially surpassed me because the Semi’s is as far as I got. I have a great feeling about where you are at Dawn. Just keep your head up and there’s no telling how far you are going to go in this world…”
 
The Warren siblings just smile at one another and it isn’t long before their significant others the Chavez sisters walk over to the two of them carrying firewood. Melissa drops the wood in a pile as she walks towards Dawn and plants a kiss on her cheek as she smiles at her.
 
“Here is all of the wood we found my little girl scout. Please tell me this is what you were looking for…”
 
Dawn gazes at all of it before she smirks in return.
 
“I am sure it will do. You don’t want me to get too picky because that wouldn’t be pretty and I rather not hurt anybody’s feelings. Any way you look super cute in your hiking shorts and boots. Although I would have recommended wearing some longer pants. The weather isn’t supposed to be that good and pants will at least prevent your legs from getting bitten. It’s better to be protected than to look like some fashion icon…”
 
Michelle on the other hand is the complete opposite as her long hair is wrapped into a tight ponytail. She pulls out a Swiss Army knife as she cuts up a tarp and places it over the wood. She looks up at the sky as she sees the sky.
 
“We should really hurry and tarp off the area. I know we have some tents set up but I would prefer if we kept our entire dry.”
 
It isn’t long before she takes a tarp along with some rope and climbs up into the trees. Teddy looks up at his girlfriend as he places his hands on his hips and shakes.
 
“I didn’t know you were excellent at climbing at trees…”
 
She smiles as she ties part of the tarp up in a tree as she looks down at her boyfriend.
 
“I am used to the outdoors. I am not just proficient in treating wild animals. I know how to survive if push comes to shove. Not to mention the Rose Wrestling Academy taught me to be adaptable to anything. I don’t know what The Wild Cat Wrestling Academy is teaching my sister and your sister but you know I am ready for this. Rain is going to be coming soon so let’s get things in order…”
 
Dawn is nimble as she proceeds to climb a nearby tree. She is standing within one as she helps placing a tarp over their tent. Michelle and Dawn both work their magic as they use their skills to protect their camp site area. It isn’t long before they both jump out of the tree as they turn their attention to everybody that is on the ground. Dawn smiles as she looks at Michelle.
 
“We make a great team… I can’t wait until we are sister in laws…. Or should I say DOUBLE SISTER IN LAWS!!!!”
 
Melissa looks around as she hears the loud sound of thunder.
 
“Oh EM GEE do you really think this place is as haunted as they say it is… I don’t know how I feel about staying in the most haunted place on Earth. Why can’t we just go to a hotel and stay at a Four Seasons or something?!”
 
Teddy is just as scared as he runs over to his girlfriend Michelle.
 
“I mean a good bed sounds good right now… I really don’t want to be outdoors. Not to mention do you know how much of a disaster it will be if this hair gets wet? Black people and their hair getting wet isn’t a pretty sight especially when you are sporting an afro like this…”
 
Michelle just rolls her eyes as she just hugs her boyfriend in return. Dawn smiles as she looks back at her brother.

“Seriously, it’s just hair… It’s not a big deal. If there’s anybody who should be worried about getting their hair wet it’s me. It’s not like you constantly dye your hair pink or blonde like I do!”

Teddy snaps back.

“And it’s not like you put the amount of products in your hair like I do! There’s the afro sheen, of course when I get it straightened, or even relaxed. There is so much that yours truly can do to this hair. I just think it’s best if we don’t put ourselves in any position to get wet. Not to mention we have to camp out until SUNDAY! That’s ridiculous!”

Dawn smirks.

“Stop being a baby. You need to grow up. This is a great chance for us to try something new. On top of that it seems like Chellz is enjoying it so let’s just go with the flow. I wouldn’t worry about getting wet too much. That is why Chellz and I climbed up in the trees. We set the tarps so that our area would be protected.”

Out of nowhere we can see a flash of lightning hitting the ground about twenty yards away. Melissa grabs unto her fiancée as tightly as she can as she refuses to let her go.

“OH MY GOD LIGHTNING!!!! CAN’T WE JUST GO TO A HOTEL… I TOLD YOU IT’S HAUNTED OUT HERE!!!!!!”

Dawn rolls her eyes as she looks back at her fiancée as she pushes away from her.

“Babe if I told you once, I am going to tell you again. There is no such thing as ghosts, goblins, monsters or any of that. It’s all inside of your head!!!!!!”

Teddy nods his head laughing.

“Yeah.. Melly… You need to relax because there is nothing in this…”

“….howllllllllllllllllllll…. Shoosh!!!!”

Random howling and noises could be heard as Teddy takes us in a hurry.

“Yeah… I WOULD LOVE TO STAY BUT I GOTS TO GO!!!!”

Teddy sprints right off into the distance as he begins to get soaked and wet from the rain. Melissa nods her head as she runs away screaming out at the top of her lungs.

“I NEED TO GET OUT OF HERE!!!!!!!!!!”

They both run away in a hurry as the rain begins to overtake them. Dawn stands there dumbfounded as she looks back at Michelle.

“But that was only the wind… Are they really going to be able to go through with this prank on Crystal?!”

“I don’t know… They will return at some point… They won’t go far without their personal belongings under the tent… Why don’t we try to start a fire and warm up. We could probably start a fire on this dry ground…”

With that Dawn and Michelle work their magic as they make the most out of their time outdoors.

January 16th, 2023
Stockton, California

It had been an eventful day the night before but Crystal Zdunich had managed to accomplish everything that she had set her mind on. Not only did she shock the world by showing her face in a company that nobody expected her to show back up in but she also managed to win the Roulette Championship on her first night back. Life was definitely good as the Zdunich couple were racing back to Los Angeles in a fully customized 2023 Pink Corvette. Crystal sat in the passenger’s seat as Seleana sat proudly in the driver’s seat. Crystal won her ECWF World Women’s Championship around her waist, her Splat Multiverse Championship was against a shoulder but in her hands was the SCW Roulette Bombshell Championship. A huge smile escaped her lips as Seleana was going 85 miles per hour with the sun rising behind them. Crystal flicked her hair back as she looked back at her wife.

“OMG SELEANA… CHICKIE… MY LITTLE SWEDISH FISHIE… I DID IT!!! I CAN’T BELIEVE IT… I GOT MY JOB BACK IN SCW!!!!!!! NOT ONLY DID I GET MY JOB BACK BUT I AM ALSO A CHAMPION!!!!”

Seleana smiles as she looks back at her wife. She just shakes her head as she giggles in response.

“I know… You are very excited ja?! Wait until we get back to Hollywood. I have a big celebration party lined up for you. Chloe put the whole thing together. Alexandra and Aurora are both excited. Brittany seems happy and Halo is also keen to celebrate with you. I am proud of you…It’s good to see you smiling again…”

Crystal nods her head as she slowly turns her attention back over to her wife. She nods her head as she looks back at Seleana speeding and flying by random cars.

“Thank you so much… I know I am happy but to be honest I need to thank you for all of this. I don’t know where I would be without having you as my wife. I know I put you through so much Seleana and I am tired of hurting you. I am tired of not being able to express my emotions or to hide who I really am from you. I should never be like that. Being in that hospital after Bella attacked me made me do some serious soul searching, and I don’t ever want to be in that situation ever again. I don’t want people to look down at me for being selfish and that I don’t care about anything…”

Crystal shakes her head as she looks back at her wife.

“Truth is I have always cared about everything. Even when I try to act like I don’t I am very appreciative that you are the one who has stayed the course and been by my side. I don’t deserve you but I am happy that I have you. You are my forever and words can’t express how much you mean to me. I am happy that we get to raise a daughter together…”

“Not just a daughter chickie… Two daughters, a son, and a granddaughter…”

Crystal nods her head back at Seleana as another smile escapes her.

“Exactly, and I am happy that you have made my kids your very own, and I know they respect you and call you mom. I have been in like twelve relationships but yours is the authentic one. I can be myself and you have really brought the best out of me. You have also helped me gain the courage to bring the woman that people don’t see to the surface, and gave me confidence to be that woman in front of the cameras. I love you and I can’t thank you enough…”

Seleana keeps driving as her blonde hair just blows in the wind.

“Estrellita I will always tell you the truth. Life is what you make of it but main important thing is that you always can’t please everybody. As long as you are sincere and are yourself that’s all that matters. Just love those who really love you. To those who hate you, just pray for them. One day they will see that you are sincere. You can’t force it though you just need to let things happen naturally…”

Crystal nods her head as she lets a long sigh in return.

“I know… I feel like people still won’t take me as being real. I know it’s a long way to fix things with Kat Jones. Part of me feels like forcing it because I don’t really have many friends. I gave her that black leather jacket out of love but when I was acting at my worst I didn’t help the situation. She ignored the warnings of everybody else and tried to see beyond what people told her about me. In the end all of them were right… I guess I can’t be trusted…”

“No Star… That’s not true at all. Aurora trusts you with everything. Before that her mom trusted you to raise her as her very own and you didn’t have any problem standing up to her criminal father. On top of that our entire family supports you so that’s all that matters. Now isn’t the time to feel depressed though. You have a lot of reasons to be happy. After all you just won the Roulette Championship so let’s celebrate that shall we?!”

Crystal looks at her championship as she a frown emerges from her face.

“Should we really be celebrating it though, after all I only won this title because Ariana hit me with a super kick and I managed to fall through the door with the title in my hand. That’s how anybody and everybody is going to take me winning this title. It’s not how I wanted things to go…”

“Ja… That may be true but important thing is you have job. You now have more opportunities to showcase that you deserve to be employed and champion…”

Crystal shrugs her shoulders.

“I guess so unless SCW makes an announcement that they will strip me of the championship. Now that I got what I wanted I want to work my ass off to prove that I like being in SCW. I want to wrestle alongside you and be among the best of the very best. That is my one dream and it’s what I want to do more than anything in the world.”

Seleana grins as she keeps her eyes on the road.

“Christina… Just relax. You are already the best of the best. At least that is how me and Aurora view things, and honestly that is all that matters. Now celebrate this win. You are Crystal Hilton! Scream it for the world to hear, give the people something to see. Show them who you are…”

Crystal grins as she looks back at her wife.

“Good point… Although it’s Crystal Zdunich and I am happy being your wife. I think now is the perfect time to showcase that I am a champion!!!!”

“Wait Christina what are you doing?!”

With that Crystal takes her seatbelt off and she stands up. She holds her Roulette Championship proudly in the air which draws the attention of nearby cars. Some of the cars passing her give her a wave while men driving huge tractor trailer trucks sound their alarms proudly. Other cars pass her and we can see men rolling their windows down. Crystal grins as she looks at them and flashes them her boobs. This results in horns sounding loudly as Seleana looks over at Crystal and sighs in return.

“Christina sit down! When I said celebrate I meant when we get back to Los Angeles! It’s a five hour drive to get back home and it is going to look really bad to see a woman of color acting crazy in a flashy car like this. They are going to think we are drunk and…”

Crystal just shakes her head as she cuts her off and proceeds to flash her boobs to her wife.

“Lighten up! It’s all about the fun. Just go with the flow my Swedish Fishy. Besides you watch too much television. We aren’t going to get pulled over by the cops and if we do it’s because you are speeding. It won’t be because of me…”

Seleana swerves into a different lane. She immediately focuses back on the road as she turns her attention to Crystal.

“You can’t do that! I need to focus to drive! Let’s save all of that for when we get home. Once we get there we can have all the fun we want…”

Crystal however isn’t one to listen as she stands up on her chair. She begins to twirl her championship proudly in the air. She spins it around and around which draws the attention of nearby drivers. One driver gets close to the car and that is when Crystal lifts her shirt off and flashes the man behind the wheel.

“I AM THE ROULETTE CHAMPION OF THE WORLD… I AM GOING TO CELEBRATE!!!”

Crystal raises her title up and she points at it passionately. The man smiles back in return and it isn’t long before she sees red and blue flashing lights from that same vehicle.

“….Fuckkkkk….. It’s an unmarked car Seleana… Drive… Drive…. Get away from them!!!!”

“But I don’t want to go to jail chickie… I am going to pull over…”

Despite what Crystal wants for Seleana to do the blonde pulls the car over. Even though the damage has already been done Crystal decides to put her seatbelt on. She places her hands on the dashboard so that they are in clear view. Crystal looks at her wife as she shakes her head.

“Seleana just put your hands on the steering wheel so they can see them. Don’t make any sudden movements and let me do most of the talking. As long as we do that things are going to be fine. Trust me baby I promise I won’t let anything happen to you…”

A few moments go by and it is at this moment that we can see somebody walking up to the car. They walk towards Crystal’s side of the car and take a long glance at her. Crystal just sighs as she shakes her head in response and quickly speaks.

“Officer just to let you know my hands are on the dashboard. I am NOT making any sudden moments. My wife is innocent and I am sorry for any trouble that I might have caused…”

The officer looks at Crystal as he glares at her with daggers in his eyes.

“Do you have any idea at why I pulled you over?!”

Seleana is very nervous as she has never been in this situation before she looks over at the officer and has tears in her eyes.

“I am so sorry! I tried to get her to stop but she just wanted to have fun. I am sorry policeman. We didn’t mean to break any rules. My wife is just…”

“SELEANA!!! Be cool… Remember what I said…”

She turns her attention over to the officer and smiles.

“I can’t recall officer, please enlighten me. Just give us the ticket so we can be on our way…”

The policeman just shakes his head with an evil grin.

“Oh so you want to be a wise one?! Step out of the vehicle…”

Crystal exits the car and Seleana is all tears as she begins to scream. The officer looks down into Crystal’s eyes as he begins to speak.

“There is so much I have on you. Showing off public indecency, you are a distraction on the road. This vehicle was swerving, and of course speeding. You didn’t have your seatbelt on. There are so many infractions and laws that you broke…”

“…Yes officer… I am sorry… It is all my fault. My wife had nothing to do with this so if you have to punish somebody…”

The officer just keeps his eyes locked on Crystal as a wicked grin escapes his lips.

“But out of all of the crimes you committed the biggest one that you did was being part of the heist of the century. I am a huge fan of yours and last night you walked into Inception and stole the Roulette Championship. It is exciting to see you back on SCW programming and you brought a smile to my little girl’s face…”

Crystal opens her eyes in amazement.

“Wait a minute you are a fan?!”

“Yes… And she is one of the biggest ones… I know you are excited and I am going to let you both off with a warning…”

He grins as multiple police cars pull up beside the Zdunich vehicle. Crystal is confused as she looks at him.

“And what is this all about?!”

“I called some backup. Consider this a motor parade to make sure that you get home safely. California state troopers are going to escort you home. Enjoy your win, I am happy to see you back in SCW, and please don’t ever leave us again…”

With that Crystal smirks as she gets back into the car. She blows a kiss to the cop.

“Don’t worry whatever autograph you want I am going to make sure I give it to you so that you can give it to your little girl. Thank you for being a fan and I won’t ever forget this…”

With this in mind Crystal stands up as she raises her championship high into the air. She looks at her wife as a wicked grin escapes her lips.

“Everything is going to be alright my Swedish Fishy… Please hit the gas…. LOOK OUT WORLD THE NEW ROULETTE CHAMPION HAS ARRIVED!!!!”

The sirens could all be heard going off one after another. Crystal smiles warmly as she spins her championship around in a circle. Seleana hits the acceleration as the police escort lights blink back and forth. It was definitely going to be a great day for the Zdunichs.





Wow…

I am going to be completely honest with all of you. I have certainly come a long way since I debuted for SCW back in 2015. When I first came to this company I was in a place where I truly hated the woman that glanced at me in the mirror. I was unhappy with myself and I wanted to hide behind a mask. I put on the identity of La Paloma and it was something that I carried when I used to wrestle over in Mexico. I know to everybody it might have seemed like I was doing it for my father. I wanted to bring the tradition of Lucha Libre to SCW and I wanted to live up to his legacy.

As I made my debut in SCW I realized that I wasn’t really doing it to honor him or what I grew up with. I wanted to run away. I was hiding and I was uncomfortable with being Crystal Hilton. I didn’t like that I had left NCW and I had made many enemies on my way out. I guess being allied to one of the most hated women in wrestlers in my best friend Zelda Knite had caused hatred to be aimed at me. I remember being in SCW and having to hear Amy Marshall tell horror stories of how she was happy to be free from Crystal Hilton.

Deep down I wanted to cry on the inside because that wasn’t the image that I wanted to portray. I didn’t want to be remembered for being a bully. I wanted people to look upon me as being a great wrestler but that never seemed to be the focal point when it came to me. I sat under the mask of La Paloma for a few months and I knew that deep down I wanted to have my name back. I wanted to be myself and that’s when I tossed it to the side so that Crystal Hilton could emerge.

Amy hated that I was on this roster but I didn’t care. I just built myself up and I vowed to be the best wrestler that I could possibly be. It was then in one of my very first feuds within SCW that I ran into a woman named Jessie Salco.

Back then Jessie Salco could only look at me as being who she thought was a member of the mean girls. I guess my friendship to Mercedes Vargas had automatically made me part of the group in her eyes but I was never in the group nor did I ever want to be in it. It was part of the notion of how she viewed me and it made me sad because I thought that SCW was going to be the place where I could escape the notions of how people viewed me in the past. We have had that conversation about eight years ago and here we are in the present and the story is still the same.

I know that the entire world wants to point the finger at me to push this narrative that I am this Bitch, and I will be honest I can admit that I did act in that way. I acted in that way because I felt that it gave me power. I felt like it was the only way to get respect, and if people couldn’t love me for who I was I didn’t mind hiding behind a character.

Obviously with my actress background I could always portray the role of anybody that I had put my mind of. I shocked the world when I beat Natalie McKinley and I became the Roulette Champion. I defended my title against those who I felt weren’t in my league and I gained a level of cockiness. I felt untouchable and I never saw myself coming down from that high I was riding. Little did I know that it would all come crashing down when Keira decided to cash a contract on me!

Not only did she beat me but she managed to take the Roulette Championship from my grasp. With that one lost I was no longer relevant and had to subject myself to losing to women like Melanie Gabrielle, Lucy Seraphina and so many others. It took me a while to pick myself out of that funk but eventually I did so and we know how things picked up from there.

5 World Championships later which I might add I am the ONLY one to ever accomplish that in this company. I unified the Internet Championship with the World Championship, and I even have a Blast From The Past win under my belt. My career has gone in an amazing direction and it has all blossomed into being a Hall of Famer. It just doesn’t get any better than that.

I have done it all and now eight years later here I am as the Roulette Champion.

A lot of stuff is running through my head. I could be upset because here I am as the entry level champion, and I know people are probably expecting for me to just get into the notion that I feel I am above a championship but to be honest I don’t feel like that at all. I was without a job… I was fired not because of what I did wrong but because of what I didn’t do.

I didn’t put in the effort that everybody has been accustomed to seeing from me and I know quite often it had felt like I was a waste of a roster space. Bella might have decimated me inside of a wrestling ring but to be quite honest my career had been long dead before that. It was dead because I didn’t care anymore. I had no passion and something was lacking.

It was in that hospital when I finally realized what was important to me. I love my family, I love my wife, but most of all I love wrestling. When it was taken away from me I lost control of myself. I could only think of trying to do everything in my power to get it back. That invitational match presented me with my one way ticket in and I took advantage of the situation.

Everything paid off and I am happy to have a job again. I know people will look at me and try to question how I won the match and that I got lucky. They might call me a fake champion but I have now come to the realization that words never mattered. What does matter is what one does in the ring and your actions speak volumes.

My actions show that I want to be here and I won’t let anybody tell me any differently. So now that brings me to this match and it seems like I will be in the main event on Climax Control against Jessie Salco with the winner going on to face Georgie Robertson. A lot is at stake here but before anybody can even look at Blaze of Glory I have to look at the current situation.

How is it going Jessie?! It seems like things have come full circle and I now have to step into the ring against you. I want to give you some credit before beating my sister-in law Eavan Maloney was no easy task. She is one of the toughest women I know and you ended up beating her. Congratulations on that. I respect you a lot because I know you are one of the pioneers who have put your entire all into SCW.

I am happy that you have finally got into the Hall of Fame because you have had quite the successful career. You have been a big pioneer of the Roulette division, and you have also had a great tag team run with Amy Marshall. Nobody will ever argue about what you bring to the table.

However this is my issue with you Jessie. You are quick to jump on the band wagon when people start talking me down you want to talk me down. You want to act all buddy, buddy with Eavan when she was saying bad things about me. You then feel you want to add your two cents in that I am fake, and that nobody will believe that I am for real or what have you.

I thought you would be in a place where you would actually formulate your own thoughts but I see that things haven’t changed in eight years. Back then you were lashing out at me for being a Mean Girl and now you are just following the crowd in trying to talk me down. In your eyes I might be the worst person in the world but maybe that is your biggest issue.

You spend too much time trying to be a follower or trying to be in a position to have wishful in thinking that good things are going to happen. Everybody in the world has sins and it’s quite foolish for you to look at the dirt in my eyes when you have a plank in your own. You constantly bring up bad stuff that I did to Seleana…

Yes I did turn my back on Seleana like four to five years ago and since then I moved on from that, but you want to rehash that shit over and over again like that’s been my biggest sin within the last year.

Hell Despy’s dad even said I cost his son a chance at winning the Blast at the Past tournament which is more relevant. I did throw a big temper tantrum when I lost to my own wife and thus I hurt Chloe in the process. I done some messed up stuff and I won’t run away from what I did. I will own that shit because it’s part of character growth and it’s who I am.

You however are stuck like a mouse in a maze and you keep running in the same path over and over again. You done some messed up stuff as well. You are the same woman who betrayed one of your closest friends and stable mates in Kate Steele because you couldn’t compete for a championship. Did you forget that?!

Or how about the fact that you were banned from competing in championship matches for a long time so you tried to find loop holes in order to be a champion. You were happy when Honor merged with SCW because that meant you got to keep your title and that put a smile on your face.

I used loopholes as well and when Christian fired me I did wrestle under Rosa Ardiente. It wasn’t because I wanted a title or anything to do with it. I just wanted to keep my job because I love being in this company so much. I was willing to do whatever it took to be in this company.

So when I walked into that invitational match and I fell through the door, as much as I don’t really like how it went down I can’t help but be ecstatic. It’s not because I am champion but it’s for the mere purpose that I have my job and I have my livelihood back.

You haven’t experienced that pain so before you sit on your high horse and try to talk me down. Why don’t you refocus and actually look at things from another angle. Jessie you are a very talented woman. Hell on multiple occasions you have managed to beat me and I will say that you have had my number. I won’t deny that.

However what you haven’t done is when it mattered the most and when a championship was on the line you have never beaten me. I have always been the favorite in situations like this and you don’t come close to what I bring to the table.

Besides here I am eight years removed from when I debut in this company and I am happy to be the Roulette Champion. You on the other hand are here because this is ALL you have got going for you. You are a woman who is content with being the gatekeeper in SCW. You are the one that people need to go through in order to prove that they can make it in this company.

However when people look at me they acknowledge me as being the absolute standard. I am the main event measuring stick and I am the one that people are chasing after. Do you understand how important it is being a five time World Champion?!

Oh… I forgot… YOU WOULDN’T KNOW because you have NEVER built yourself up into being that. You were practically here from when this place came to fruition and during all of that time you couldn’t win one World Championship?!

Misty, Vixen, Roxi, Electra Styles, myself, Mikah, Melody Grace, Alicia Lukas, and Amber Ryan.

The list goes on and on with so many great people that have held that title and yet your name isn’t mentioned on any of the lists. It’s a damn shame really because all that means is that you really aren’t as good as you might think yourself to be. Hell even Mercedes Vargas was a World Champion and she happens to be a woman that everybody makes fun of all of the time but she can at least say she has accomplish her biggest of dreams.

You can’t say the same thing.

You are a hypocrite Jessie and the world doesn’t revolve around you. It doesn’t and it never did. Your biggest wins happened in the Chamber of Extreme matches. You beat me before and you even beat a lot of other women who are legit Hall of Famers.

What’s the point of those wins when you beat somebody at the end of their career or when they don’t care anymore?!

It’s like you are just Floyd Mayweather… You spend all of that time ducking real challenges and real fights, and when people really don’t care anymore or when opponents seem like they are regressing that is when you are quick to want to look for a challenge.

It’s pathetic and I thought you were better than that. In my eight years of being in this company I have definitely been through some shit. I have won so many World Championships, I practically had about eight or so name changes and I have tried my best to be successful. I have definitely been through a lot and have been in the main event of a High Stakes or two, or hell maybe even three.

How many times can you honestly say you have been in the main event of a Super Card?! How many times can you say that you have been the focal point of the entire division or even the entire company?!

While you are sitting there to contemplate an answer I can say with all of my heart that I have been that Bitch. I have been in that position multiple times and it is something that I can say that it is bound to happen more times than often within a given year.

That has always been me and it will always be me. I am the Roulette Champion and I am going to defend that title with everything that is beating inside of me.

For you the title is just another trinket… It’s your way to showcase you are this bad ass metal chick who can rock out and what have you. However for me being the champion is the way that I am able to keep my job. There is no telling that Christian and Mark might try to fire me as soon as I drop the belt. I don’t ever want to be in a position where I can’t wrestle for SCW ever again. It would hurt me in so many ways and I don’t want to do that to my fans.

The SCW fan base has started to build their trust in me and I can’t afford to lose their faith. They love me and I love them so much. I will go out to that ring and give them the entire world plus more. This is my second run with the Roulette Champion and this is my chance to prove that I am a fighting champion.

I want to showcase why I am SCW’s workhorse and this is my clear cut way to prove that I am worthy of being a woman who gives a shit about what she is doing.

I could try to be like you and live in the past Jessie. I can harp on shit that is old and things that might not be relevant anymore but left isn’t about what happened yesterday. It’s about looking towards tomorrow, and it’s about what the present holds.

I always felt I was too good to be in the Roulette division again. However I am reminded of what Sam Marlowe put into this division. I thought she was crazy for never wanting to move her way back up to the World division again but this division of Roulette rules aren’t for the weak of heart.

It’s for women who are workhorses and for women who live their life trying to be unpredictable and ready for anything. I want to be that woman. I don’t want the same old, same old. At Climax Control I will be the best Roulette Champion I possibly can be.

I will beat you Jessie and I will go on to make a new legacy for myself. Best of luck Jessie but on Sunday you will see that this Rose will always blossom.

I am the burning rose… FLAME ON…. IT’S SHOW TIME.

Mexico City, Mexico
La Paloma’s Gimnasio

The inside of Crystal Zdunich’s wrestling room was booming with so much talent. Wrestling hopeful after hopeful was giving everything they had in order to be noticed by a big time wrestling organization. It was there where we can see the COO for Rose Corp Chloe Martin walking through the rundown gym. Standing next to her wearing a full covering face mask is La Rosa Ardiente. Rosa just took everything in awe as she glanced at students giving their all into the ring. Chloe cracks a wicked grin as she runs her hands through her long blonde hair. The French Canadian just crosses her arms as she looks into the eyes of the woman.

“Rosa let me just be the first person to welcome you to La Paloma’s gym. I know it looks like a hole in the wall but you can trust me when I say that a lot of history has been poured out into this building. There has been a lot of blood, sweat, and tears from the Lopez family. Crystal’s father Pedro built this gym and has had so many students wrestling under him. Being a Mexican and a Luchadora you might be aware of his most prized student Crystal Hilton.”

Rosa is all smiles as she quickly shakes her head in excitement. She gives a thumbs up as she tries her best to speak English but it is apparent that isn’t her first language.

“Si!!! Christina es very good, she my inspiration! Sorry I no speak Ingles well…”

Chloe cracks a grin as she looks back at the masked woman.

“It’s okay you don’t have to say anything. The best thing about being signed under Rose Corp is that we are going to do everything in our power to make sure that you are taken care of. Mrs. Zdunich has taken a special interest in you and she only wants the best from you. What that means is we are going to have only the best dealing with you. Myself and Todd Williams will oversee your career and on top of that you will get to train in the same way that Mrs. Zdunich trained. You should feel honored to walk in her shoes…”

The woman nods her head with a smile again as she looks back at the blonde.

“Si!!! I will do my best…”

Chloe just stands there and it isn’t long before a Hispanic man with a large afro walks over to where the two of them are standing. He seems befuddled as he looks at Rosa and places his hand on his chin.

“There’s something familiar about you. Anyway I don’t believe we met. My name is Jamal Lopez and I am co-owner of this gym. It is a pleasure to meet you…”

Chloe just crosses her arms as Jamal looks back at her.

“Oh and I guess it’s nice to see you as well Chloe. It’s a shame that you step foot in this gym more so than my sister does. It’s like she doesn’t even care about any of these students that are working their asses off so they could one day walk in her footsteps. It feels like such an honor that you could grace us with your presence. I guess things at Rose Corp must not be going too well considering the public relations nightmare that my sister has caused. She violently assaults a woman with a concussion; she becomes the world’s biggest prick, and gets herself fired. I thought she was better than that…”

Rosa stomps her feet as she begins to size up Jamal. She looks up into his eyes as Chloe laughs in return.

“You better watch your mouth. My client here takes offense to what you said about her hero, and she won’t hesitate to put you down if she really needs to do so…”

Jamal just shrugs his shoulders as she keeps his gaze locked on Rosa as he shakes his head.

“It doesn’t matter though. As her older brother I can say what I want to say and she isn’t going to do anything about it. 17 years ago she came to this school because she wanted to find herself. She didn’t know anything about this family and yet my father took her in. He gave her everything and even treated her better than me and Maia. Despite the favoritism and everything he poured into her he eventually gives her this school. It’s bull crap because she left this school. She promised to bring the spirit of Lucha Libre to the world, and to really build up being La Paloma, and she threw the entire legacy away…”

Rosa however keeps her eyes locked on Jamal as she speaks to him in fluent Spanish.

“You really shouldn’t talk about your sister like that. It just sounds like you are being extremely whiny and are ungrateful that she has made you relevant. It’s not her fault that she has become a huge star and gets to travel all across the world. She had become bigger than the art of Lucha Libre and why promote a type of wrestling when she could build up herself?!”

Jamal is taken back as he looks at her.

“Christina…?”

He says to ask a question but the woman just snickers as she quickly shakes her head in return.

“No… The name is Catalina Garcia and I am just a proud fan… Although in other parts of the world they called me Cat the Gat because…”

Jamal shakes his head and folds his arms as he wasn’t impressed.

“Oh let me guess because you got a top marksmanship award from the FBI and graduated at the top of your class back at Quantico… Are you seriously going to go down this route… I thought that the entire Catalina Garcia ordeal went down the drain when the Firm went out of business. I appreciate your acting skills but you are being too cliché at this point…”

Chloe raises her eyes as she looks at the two of them.

“This conversation seems a little heated. Do you both mind talking in English so I can understand what’s going on?! Don’t make me speak in French just to be obnoxious.”

Jamal turns her attention to Rosa as he continues to speak to her in Spanish.

“Why did you bring her along, have you ever thought about maybe firing her and replacing her with somebody who can actually do your company good?!”

“I know she seems ditzy but to be honest she does really good work. You think I have time to be in multiple places at one time?! You already know the answer to that question is no. I know there are some things that you really don’t understand about me. Hell I don’t even know what I want at times. The truth is when Seleana fought Crystal at Summer XXXtreme something woke up within Crystal…”

Jamal places his hand on Rosa’s shoulders as he looks into her eyes.

“What exactly happened?!”

“To be honest I really don’t know. What I do know is that Crystal felt like she was being tugged in so many different directions. She felt like she was being forced to hold up a certain image. If she acted one way people would lash out at her and if she acted a different way people would say something else. It was always going to be a lose lose situation. So in order to get away from it all she just snapped. Do you think she really meant to seriously hurt Chloe in the way she did?!”

Catalina shook her head.

“Of course not because at one point Crystal was that woman, Crystal was always picked on in high school and it was so bad that she came all the way out here to Mexico because of it. On top of that as soon as she got into wrestling she was nothing more than an interviewer who always got jumped. Do you know how much she had to go through?! I know that Chloe was only trying to look out for her but it couldn’t be helped. It wouldn’t have taken much for Crystal to snap and to be honest she doesn’t regret anything she did…”

Jamal raises his eyes.

“Are you sure though?! Because on top of that she lost a lot of friends on the way down, nobody ever wants to see someone fall so hard…”

Catalina stands there as a smile escapes her lips.

“It definitely was worth it. If Crystal had the chance she would do it again in a heartbeat. Now she is in a state where she can’t even wrestle under her own namesake because Christian wants to take things too far. It’s whatever… Crystal will have the last laugh and she will get everything she wants and when she wants it. It is as simple as that…”

Jamal sighs in return.

“So how long is Crystal going to be like this… How long until she can get her name back?!”

“I have no idea and to be honest it really doesn’t matter. You know your sister is a fighter and as long as she is ignited there is nothing to stop her flames from burning passionately. There is a reason why she is the burning rose right?! Flame on…”

“Okay Catalina… I got your back and I know will support you as well… If there is anything you need let it be known that we all will have your back…”

With that Rosa just cracks a wicked grin as we slowly leave on this image.










The cameras come into focus and as it does we are treated to the sight of the masked woman La Rosa Ardiente and standing next to her is Todd Williams. Todd cracks a wicked grin as he looks at his client and offers a smirk as he begins to speak.

“What’s up all of you haters out there, it is apparent that a lot of you might be confused as to why I am standing here right now but allow me the chance to elaborate. My name is Todd Williams and I am the official spokesman and voice for La Rosa Ardiente. You see Rosa here is a woman who speaks very little English and no burning rose deserves to be left stranded on an island. So seeing as I am quite the gentleman and I would do anything for Rosa I am here to proudly speak on her behalf. At Climax Control Rosa will walk down that aisle and she will step into the ring with a certified scrub in Char Kwan. I mean are we honestly serious right now?! Is this the best that SCW could find to go up against?!

My client is a woman that should be respected. She is a woman who proudly loves to fight on behalf of Mexico and is the epitome of what a Luchadora should be. She will bring on the pride of her heritage and she will take out all of her frustration out on Char. Now let me against you something Char because this is nothing but an honest question. Why should my client take you seriously?! What have you accomplished that should make her question that this match won’t be a walk in the park for her?! You can go ahead and think about it because I definitely have all day…”

Todd smirks as Rosa claps her hands excitedly as he continues to speak on her behalf.

“While you sit and think let me address something that is bothering me. I know somewhere Mercedes Vargas is going to talk that shit on how Rosa can start up some insane streak for a rookie. She could go out and win match after match, and go into the history books. Before you even attempt to put my client over I will be thrilled to tell you along with Char, and the rest of the world why my client is going to win on Sunday! My client is no stranger to the wrestling ring. She was born in this business, she lives for the business, and she is this fucking business…

If my entire motto is to go out there and MEAN BUSINESS her motto is to be the best fucking bombshell to have ever stepped foot in this company and it’s not like she has much to prove when she can already claim that. I mean how many times has Char won last year?!

One match… She literally won one match last year and only won three matches in her entirety of being in this company. She has lost twenty one matches since being in SCW and that’s just absolutely pathetic. If I didn’t know any better I would say that Char is definitely not ready for prime time. She’s not ready to be in the spotlight and she definitely has no right to say anything. Winning 3 matches and dropping 21 makes you the Glass Joe of this company. I know that they say Jessie Salco is the gate keeper in this company but at least she knows what it is like to at least be relevant. It just seems to me that Char isn’t even a has been, she is pretty much a never was.

How is she going to stand in front of a camera and say anything when she has that horrible past haunting her?! You really think you are going to make your big return to this company and get a win at the extent of my client who wants to make a debut?! I highly doubt that. Debuts are about first impressions and if I didn’t know any better I would say that Rosa is about to go out there to that ring and GET BIG!

She is going to beat this Bitch senseless and Char has no idea…”

Todd laughs as he looks at Rosa and continues to speak.

“So much can happen in that ring, and anybody can be behind the mask. However I am going to be truthful with Char. You aren’t ready for this ass whooping that is about to come your way. What I can you for a fact is that my client has won more titles in her career than you lost matches in this company. She is a multiple time hall of famer and when it comes to SCW… Well….”

Rosa smirks as she looks into the camera as she finally begins to speak.

“Christian Underwood really thinks he is so smart but little does he know that I will do whatever it takes to compete on his roster. This might be my “debut” but the fact is you can’t erase me, and you shouldn’t treat your biggest stars with the utmost of disrespect. You think lining up a Char Kwan to face me is really going to make that much of a difference?! No it’s not going to do anything.

No because I am going to beat the living hell out of her. She will find herself embarrassed by the Burning Rose… Ahem… La Rosa Ardiente and I am going to show the world that there is a reason why you have to respect SCW Hall of Famers, 5 Time World Bombshell Champions, and give all of you people a reason to hate me by the end of the night.

Through hell and high water nothing will ever stop this rose from blossoming. For my name is Cry….Catalina Garcia and after Climax Control Char will be an afterthought. I am in the mood to hand out concussions. Perhaps a DDT to the dome would do the trick, maybe I should end Kwan’s career before it even has a chance to begin. Show’s over Char and mine is getting renewed. See you soon… Time to feel the Fuego and light this entire shit on fire… Flame on Bitch!”

With that Rosa showcases her blue hair as the masked beauty smiles to the camera as Todd grins in return.
