Hollywood Hills, California
Zdunich Household
 
Crystal paced around within the Zdunich mansion. She definitely had a lot on her mind as it wouldn’t be long before she would step into the ring with Masque. However as scary as that might have been what terrified Crystal the most was the fact that she didn’t know how to deal with her wife challenging her to a wrestling match. Crystal had never been one to turn away from a challenge. It was out of character for her to run away from a fight. However Crystal really didn’t want to go down that dark path. She didn’t want to be in a position where she would become that old Crystal on her wife. She made that mistake years ago turning on her just to get a World Bombshell Championship match. People never really stopped talking about Crystal’s sin, and accepting that match would quickly bring all of those sins back up. Seleana stood in front of Crystal with her arms crossed as she looked into her eyes.
 
“Chickie are you going to keep ignoring me?!”
 
Crystal however didn’t say a word to her, and even if she wanted to reply to Seleana something else caught Crystal’s attention. Crystal’s phone started to ring which caused the Latina to gaze down at her phone. The name on the phone read “Kat Jones”. Crystal didn’t hesitate as she quickly answered the phone.
 
“Hey Kat I really wasn’t a phone call from you… Is everything okay, are you enjoying your Birthday gift?!”
 
Crystal tried her best to put on a façade but the voice of Kat really got to her as she spoke back.
 
“Crystal listen to me I just wanted to check on you. I know you have this big match with Masque coming up. I honestly just wanted to check on you… Do not give Masque an inch. Do not let her get into your head, and do not let her pry you for weaknesses…I know we just became friends but I don’t want anything to happen to you…”
 
Crystal just sighs shaking her head as she paces around while on the phone. Seleana is right there doing everything in her power to make sure that she listens to everything about the conversation as Crystal replies back to her.
 
“You don’t have to be worried about me! I know what I am doing… I know YOU didn’t have faith in me the last time I fought her…”
 
Kat quickly answers on the phone.
 
“No it has nothing to do with me believing in you or not. I just wanted to say that I am concerned… I just don’t want anything to happen to one of my friends. Be careful and take care of yourself…”
 
Crystal didn’t even bother to say anything back in return as she decided to just close the phone. She turned her attention over to Seleana who stands there with her arms folded. Crystal looks right into her eyes as she seems befuddled.
 
“Is there a reason why you keep following me around the house?! It’s bad enough you accepted my challenge but you don’t have to watch me. This is very annoying! Can’t you understand that I need space! You just don’t understand!”
 
Crystal tries to storm away and make her way towards the door but it is at that moment that Seleana actually grabs Crystal by the arm. She holds it tightly as Crystal actually seems shocked as the blonde woman speaks perfect English in order to reach out to her wife.
 
“No chickie! This time you aren’t going to walk away from me. I have been married to you for four years and I never complain or say anything bad to you. Even when you betray me I not leave you. I not trophy wife and I won’t sit by and constantly have conversations with Aurora on why you feel the need to always storm out to avoid confrontation. Real world doesn’t bend to you. For the first time in your life I need you to just listen…”
 
Crystal snatches her arm away as she instead turns around and looks right into the eyes of her wife. She sighs in return as she fires back with a very passionate response.
 
“Listen to what Seleana?! I still don’t understand why you even challenged me to a match in the first place. What is it that you WON’T FROM ME?!”
 
Seleana shrugs her shoulders as she sighs in return.
 
“What I want is for my wife to stop thinking that everybody is always against her. For three years you have been trying to find out a solution to what’s wrong with you, and you never can figure out the why. You went and got counseling and it didn’t help. You took a sabbatical from this family and it didn’t work. You tried to bring somebody else into this marriage and I am going to say that didn’t work. I love you so much but I am not going to stand around and watch you try to run around making the same mistake over and over again…You keep trying to fill in these voids but why can’t you understand..”
 
Crystal shakes her head as she looks right into Seleana’s eyes.
 
“UNDERSTAND WHAT SELEANA?! Ever since you came out and interrupted my open challenge all you have been saying over and over again is that I don’t UNDERSTAND… What am I not understanding?!”
 
Seleana points right at Crystal as she seems uneasy.
 
Let me ask you this question… What is your biggest fear?! What is the one thing that you are most afraid of?!”
 
Crystal quickly fires back a response.
 
“That’s easy… You should know that answer. It’s being alone…It has always been being alone…”
 
Seleana shakes her head.
 
“No… I don’t think that’s even the truth. If it was being alone you wouldn’t have gotten married four times. You wouldn’t push away your kids or friends when they try to get near you. You have this pattern of uncertainty among a lack of confidence.  A woman wouldn’t walk away from her wife is she afraid of being ALONE… No Chickie what you are afraid is runs deeper. You want to know why I accepted your challenge?!”
 
Crystal nods her head.
 
“Yes I would definitely like some guidance on WHY you actually did… You know I don’t want to fight you…”
 
“Do you think I want to fight you either?! I don’t want to fight you but I know that within that ring is the only place that you will listen. It’s the ONLY place where you will understand. You know what your biggest fear is Christina?! It’s not being alone, or it’s not what others say about you. Even though you will try to sway it towards being something else, the truth is what you are afraid of the most is YOU. You are your biggest critic; you are your own worst enemy. You are afraid of you, and you don’t know how to move on from having a war with yourself.”
 
Crystal crosses her arms.
 
“Myself?!”
 
“Yes Chickie… You are the problem but you want to create all of these situations to make yourself feel better. The truth is I do love you, and I am proud of the wife that you have become. However I don’t need you going to the extreme of being a Christina Rose, or a Crystal Zdunich to prove that fact. When you shift in direction it has an impact on your wrestling and that’s not healthy. I want you to love me but I don’t want you to sacrifice your very identity to prove a certain point. I want you to learn how to distinguish the difference from being inside of the ring and being at home with me, Alex, and Aurora.”
 
Crystal shrugs her shoulders.
 
“And what are you asking for Seleana, because I don’t think I like where this conversation is going…”
 
Seleana nods her head.
 
“You really want to know what I want?! What I want is for you to embrace yourself. Accept who you really are and to not run away from it… What I want is to step into the ring with the woman known as the Reflection of Perfection, the Silver Screen Queen, the Rose Goddess! I want to wrestle Crystal FN Hilton because I know that is who you were always meant to be. I want to see that confidence and I want to stand toe to toe with that woman in the ring…”
 
Crystal walks away as she is afraid looking away from her wife.
 
“Absolutely not… You don’t know what you are talking about Seleana… That’s not what you want! You obviously forgot when you stood up to Christian and you rocked him the face for me! You showcased that you were an amazing wife and what did I do in return?! I didn’t show any thanks but I came across like a Judas. Except my betrayal wasn’t worth thirty pieces of silver but came in the form of a title shot. I vowed that I would NEVER and I mean NEVER ever let that part of me come to surface. I don’t want to every hurt you again. You don’t deserve it and I refuse to put you through hell…”
 
Crystal seems to have tears in her eyes but Seleana once again grabs Crystal. This time she forces the shorter woman to look up into her eyes.
 
“No… That’s where you are wrong. Stop viewing me as I am this damsel that needs to be saved. As much as the entire world shouted Free Seleana I never responded to any of that stuff. I am not held captive and if this marriage was truly bad I would have walked away. However marriages aren’t without conflict and what I want you to learn is that we don’t walk away from things we can’t handle but instead we work together as partners to deal with those issues. Now I know you probably have thoughts of not wanting to fight me and it may sound crazy that I actually want to fight Crystal Hilton…”
 
Seleana smirks.
 
“However in my eyes it’s not crazy because what makes me smile is seeing you at your best. It is seeing you pour out everything to accomplish something. I view you as being the best Christina and even if you choose not to see it sometimes the truth is you are the best, and I want to show to you that I am not in your shadow or even a trophy wife. I am standing BESIDE you and by facing you I get to test myself against who I feel is the best of the best. Are you really going to deny me a chance to test my own limits and at the same time experiencing my wife be the best that I know she can be?!”
 
Crystal shrugs her shoulders.
 
“Because if you say no to me Christina that is as bad as you breaking my heart because that would be your way of saying that you simply don’t believe in me… You do believe in me don’t you?!”
 
Crystal thinks about it as she slowly gazes back into her wife’s eyes and nods her head in agreement.
 
“Of course I believe in you… It would be foolish to think that I didn’t believe in you… If this is what you really want Seleana of course I will face you. I thought I was doing you a favor by trying to protect you but I am starting to see that was wrong. By constantly running to your aid I am actually handicapping you and for that I am sorry… If it’s me at your best you don’t have to worry about it… I will give you what you want….I will give you Crystal Hilton…”
 
“Good…That’s all I want… Even if I am no match for you as long as I can help you gain your confidence back that’s all that matters in the end…”
 
Crystal nods her head.
 
“Yeah…I can see your point… I love you Seleana, more than you could ever realize. I am just going to take some time to visit a friend just to get clarification on all of this. I want to make sure I am making the right decision…”
 
Seleana smiles.
 
“No problem… Take all of the time you need… I am always here…”
 
 
 
How is it going to all of my blossoming roses out there?! I am going to be completely honest with all of you. I know it won’t be long until I walk into perhaps the biggest challenge of my wrestling career. I am absolutely afraid, and the mere thought just frightens me. I have never been backed down from ANY challenge. I have always been the type to just go in guns blazing and give every single bit of myself in the ring. Before anybody jumps to any conclusion and assumes that I am talking about Masque that couldn’t be any farther from the truth.
 
Masque doesn’t scare me… She might be methodical and really got people talking or left speechless after what she did last weekend to Amber. However that doesn’t scare me. What scares me more than that is the fact that I laid out an open challenge for Summer XXXtreme, and my wife of all people accepted that match.
 
It’s an image that haunts me and it may be my biggest weakness yet. I am afraid because I am reminded of what happened the last time Seleana and I stepped into the ring with one another. I did some very evil things. I turned on her just to get a shot at a World Championship. Seleana feels that there is a piece of me missing and she is welcoming me to fully embrace Crystal Hilton so I could regain my confidence in the ring.
 
The problem is I don’t know if I really want to be that woman.
 
That is when everything finally dawned on me, and I finally figured out what I am afraid of the most. For the longest I thought it was a fear of being alone and that’s what caused this unhealthy need to be accepted.
 
However when you really look at everything and view that fact that I have been married like four times and slept around with just about anyone and everyone, it never seemed to fill in that missing need. It led me to trying to force many friendships, butt my way into conversations that really never concerned me, and even ask the few friends that I do have if they were my friends over and over again.
 
When Seleana stood face to face with me I finally understood what has been my biggest weakness. In a way she has always tried to tell me but I just didn’t want to listen.
 
What haunts me the most isn’t a need for acceptance, it isn’t even being alone, or trying to be remembered. It’s an issue that goes deeper than that and I can see it for what it is.
 
That weakness is none other than me…
 
I am afraid of me, and it leads me to being my own worst enemy. I know the entire world can try to cheer me up and state that I am this great wrestler but deep down I never believed in it. Sure I have the accolades to back it up and I accomplish so much but I just didn’t buy into it because I chose not to do so.
 
I constantly build up these walls of a lack confidence, and because of such it created identity issues. I was afraid of myself that I ran off to Hollywood so I could become somebody else. At least with acting I could always be somebody new. However no matter how costumes, makeup, or even hair changes I had gone through I still never dealt with dealing with me.
 
What’s the point if one never fixed those issues will always lie underneath the surface?!
 
I guess its equivalent to having a car with a transmission that went out. It doesn’t matter if you put new tires on that car or even give it a new paint job. The truth still remains that the looks will be deceiving because underneath it is still a piece of shit that needs to be fixed so it can run again.
 
The fact is I know a lot has been going on within me. I know there has been the constant question of what should people expect out of me. You don’t have to worry about anything anymore because I have found myself. It took a while but Crystal Hilton will return and that spells trouble for whoever is standing in front of me. It just so happens that Masque is going to be the next one up but so be it.
 
Seleana has been begging for Crystal Hilton to return and after deliberation who am I to disappoint her?! I know Seleana really doesn’t know what she is asking for. Crystal Hilton is my most competitive form. It has been the part of me that has been missing for about five years but if this is what is needed to put all of the pieces together again, I know it is something I must do.
 
Masque to be quite honest I really didn’t expect to be in the ring with you so soon?! After losing to you at Into The Void I thought everything was going to come to an end right there. I thought I would have to work my way up through the ranks again and would have to focus on something else. I guess management felt like another encounter was in the works.
 
I am not going to complain or take this opportunity for granted.
 
The entire world is looking at you to be the scariest Bitch on the block. I know a lot of people are upset with what you did to Amber Ryan. So if you could take out a woman that was as dominant as she was, I know everyone will wait and see in anticipation what you could do to me.
 
Hell I know you are going to do everything in your power to take me out but I am not afraid. If anything I can confidently say that I will be waiting. So bring it Masque, give me the fight I have been waiting for.
 
 
 
 
 
Tampa Florida
Off Camera
 
With everything going on between Crystal and Seleana, Christina felt that she needed to receive some clarity of what was going on within her marriage. She knew that Seleana just kept wanting to push the two of them having them a wrestling match but she still had her doubts if going through it was the right decision. Crystal’s journey had taken her to the home of the Johnsons so she could have a heart to heart with Keira about the situation. Roxi was out and about with the kid which meant that Crystal would have alone time with Keira. An amazing dinner was on the table as today’s menu consisted of an ham, macaroni and cheese with mashed potatoes. Crystal’s plate seemed empty compared to the what Keira had made for herself. Keira immediately started to gulp down on the heavy food. To be honest it looked really disgusting and something that you would see Goku doing from Dragon Ball Z. Keira’s eyes turned to over to Crystal shrugging her shoulders at her.
 
“You should really eat Crystal…”
 
“I am not really hungry… I am on a strict diet and I love enjoying my slim waistline. I think I am going to pass…I rather focus on just talking.”
 
Keira looks at Crystal’s plate as she takes it moving it close to her as she begins to eat away at that plate as well.

“So what’s going on Crystal, how can Senpai help you. I know you wanted to talk…”
 
Crystal slowly nodded her head sighing in return.
 
“Yeah… I didn’t know where else to turn but I know you have gone through some similar stuff with Roxi so I was hoping that you could give me some good advice. Two weeks ago I issued an open challenge and I was waiting for anybody to answer that challenge. What I didn’t expect was to see my wife walking down to the ring and accept that challenge. The mere thought of facing Seleana scares me and I don’t know what to think or how to feel…”
 
“What do you mean you don’t know how to feel?! You shouldn’t even feel that type of emotion…”
 
Crystal just looks away as she speaks some more.
 
“It’s the fact that she keeps prying and prying to try to bring me back to being Crystal Hilton. She doesn’t have any idea that I don’t like the woman that I was. I don’t ever want to bring myself to a place where I openly want to be in the ring with my wife. I love her way too damn much to ever put her through what I did once before. I just want to show her how much I love her, I want to care for her, and I want to protect her…”
 
“You really haven’t learned anything have you Crystal?! What you are trying to accomplish for Seleana won’t ever work if anything it’s only going to make her weaker in the long run! I know you want to be that perfect place and you have done so much in order to try to showcase that. You won a Queen for a Day match a while ago and you GAVE her a title match. A match that she had gone on to win but it still doesn’t change the fact that you just gave it to her.”
 
Keira is passionate as she continues to share her heart.
 
“You might think you are trying to help her but it’s only going to harm her! It’s going to ruin her image. People are constantly going to perceive that she is forever in your shadow and she won’t have a chance to grow as a competitor. I know it must sound to hear me say this and it may not be what you want to hear but it is what you NEED to hear!”
 
Keira looks deeper into Crystal’s eyes as she continues to speak.
 
“The reason why I can get so passionate about what I am saying is because I was in Seleana’s shoes. I was that woman. Roxi and I did everything together. We shattered the record with the Bombshell Tag Team Championships. Nobody ever gave me an ounce of respect. Everybody just assumed that Roxi carried me to the success that I achieved. It fueled me and it definitely fired up Roxi. You remember when you won your first World Championship and they were trying to find contenders to place in that Chamber of Fate match against you at Summer XXXtreme?! We both wanted to be in that match but they made us fight each other to qualify for it…”
 
Keira just shrugs her shoulders as she continues to speak.
 
“I poured everything I had into beating Roxi. I beat her in the middle of the ring but I still didn’t get my respect. People only took my win as Roxi letting me win… It made me upset and I vowed on that day that I would do everything in my power to prove that I wasn’t handed anything. I wasn’t carried and I was able to hold my own weight… I know I might have rubbed people the wrong way when I kept trying to push a match with Roxi over and over again. I felt like I needed that match so I could beat her just to show everyone that I belong….”
 
Keira nods her head as she smiles.
 
“Since that day… I have held the Roulette Championship! I have won the World Bombshell Championship, and I showed the world that I truly do belong here. You are trying to make a big deal out of this but the truth is you shouldn’t run away from this encounter. You should welcome it! You should give Seleana exactly what she wants. If that means bringing back Crystal Hilton by all means you do that. Maybe just maybe this is what you need. I am going to be honest with you and this goes back to when you beat me for the championship and Amber was lined up against you….”
 
Crystal just listens as Keira tries her best to reach out to her friend.
 
“I told you point blank that you weren’t ready to face Amber… I told you that she would get the best of you but you just didn’t listen. I said that because you are a shell of who you were always meant to be. You have grown weaker and instead of bringing that competitive side to yourself you are complacent with going day to day by your reputation instead of having that drive to really be the place. It honestly reminds me of what happened to Gohan in the time period after he beat Cell. He was at the top of his pea but then he got sloppy. Of course he could still go SSJ2 but he had way more power in the seven years prior. That shouldn’t have been the case. He should have gotten better but he didn’t because he slacked. Being any type of super hero isn’t easy. If you don’t apply yourself the right way and train you will get surpassed by others…”
 
Crystal shakes her head as she fires back with a response.
 
“No! That can’t be what’s happening to me! I am better than that! I am Crystal Z….”
 
“And there you go always trying to scream it but in reality you need to show it! Seleana might have many reasons why she wants to fight you but from what I can see this has nothing to do with her. This is all about you. She sees what you have become and she doesn’t like it. She wants you to get back to your top form and if that means that you have to be Crystal Hilton by all means that is who you need to be. Now you know that I told you that you weren’t ready for Amber, but now you have to face Masque. You saw what she did to Amber, so what does it look like for you to step into the ring with the woman that decimated the woman I said you weren’t ready to face?! It means this is going to be a burial, but it doesn’t have to be…”
 
Keira smiles as she looks deeper into her friend’s eyes.
 
“No… You can change the entire narrative. All you have to do is bring that part of you out. I know you pride yourself on thinking you are a Vegeta with your constant talks of pride, and how you are this and that…. What you don’t realize is that you aren’t Vegeta… You are Gohan and right now I see a woman who has her true potential hidden within her. You have so much power within you… You just have to find a way to bring it to surface. Whatever is plaguing your mind just let it go… Don’t be your own worst enemy. Don’t be afraid of yourself. Give Seleana what she wants but don’t do it for her…”
 
Keira points right at Crystal’s chest.
 
“Do it for you and as long as you do it for that reason nothing will stop you…”
 
Crystal just stands there before she slowly walks away from Keira. She makes her way towards the living room and it is there where Crystal is able to take a long glance into the mirror. She glares at her reflection for a while as Keira begins to stand next to her friend. Crystal keeps her eyes fixated on her reflection as a trance is unlocked within her eyes. She forms a confident grin as she looks at Keira. The blonde nods as she reaches out to Crystal.
 
“Now who you are?!”
 
Crystal takes it all in as she cracks yet another grin.
 
“I am… I am… I am Crystal Hilton and I am the best wrestler on the planet. If Seleana really wants to fight the best than that is what she is going to get. I am not here to hand out chocolates and roses. I am here to prove why nobody else belongs in that ring with me. So Seleana is going to get more than what she asked for and if she wants to prove that she doesn’t want me to protect her she will have to show that she can stand toe to toe with me. I will be competitive and I will not go easy on her!”
 
“Good and by doing so you both are going to be winners in the end, and as far as Masque goes?!”
 
Crystal runs her hands through her hair as she is confident.
 
“Masque who?! I know she is scary and she is feared by the roster but the truth is I am not afraid. If she wants to take out women that I respect so be it but her reign of terror ends with me. I will stand up to her and I will show her what happens when somebody actually fights back. It doesn’t matter if people believe in me or not. I know what I have to do…”
 
Crystal continues to have that confident look and Keira nods her head as she smiles at her friend.
 
“Good… This is exactly what has been missing from you. This is the side that I haven’t seen for quite some time. As long as this same woman shows up on Sunday there is no doubt in my mind that you will walk away as the Internet Champion…”
 
Crystal nods her head in agreement.
 
“That sounds good but I need to believe in myself, and right now I am tired of being my own enemy. Come Sunday the entire world will get a dose of Crystal Hilton and I refuse to hold back anymore. It’s time I start striving my way into being the best again…”
 
With that Crystal has a focused look as we leave on the two of them.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
So it looks like we finally meet again Masque and to be honest I am really happy to be in this match. I have so many thoughts that are running through my mind right now but I am just going to be completely honest with you. I am not afraid of you… I don’t fear you, and I am thrilled to be in the ring with you. I know you are intimidating and are perhaps the biggest threat on the entire Bombshell roster. What you did to Amber Ryan last week was completely sadistic and it’s a known fact that Amber and I really didn’t get along with one another.
 
Hell we were bitter enemies and she is the one that took the World Bombshell Championship away from me. Despite everything that we put one another through at least on my end I gained a level of respect for her. All matters should be settled within the confines of the ring and you didn’t even give her that chance. So let me make it perfectly clear. I am not going to stand up to you to try to be some type of hero or martyr because I believe that everybody should be able to fight for themselves.
 
What I can definitely say is that I am passionate on beating you in the ring because I know for a fact that I am a better wrestler than you. The last time we fought I was too focused on what you did to Andrea and was too focused on the fact that I wasn’t going to get my Internet Championship match against the woman that constantly mocked my wife that I overlooked you. You just weren’t on my radar and I let that be my own undoing.
 
Make no mistake this time it’s not about what you did to Andrea, and it’s not about me trying to get wrapped up in trying to fight on behalf of Seleana which is why I was so focused on Andrea. No this time my attention is solely on you and I plan to get the better of you!
 
You want to know why I am going to beat you Masque?! I am going to make that answer extremely simple… It’s because this time I am not trying to cover anything up, I am not running away. I am here standing tall and ready to go toe to toe with you.
 
Who am I?! I am Crystal Hilton and I live for this moment. I live to do the unthinkable and to beat women like you. You love to stand around and try to talk in riddles. You want to live as if life is one huge masquerade but I am going to introduce you to something harsh called reality.
 
The reality of the situation is that you have only been in this company for a few months. Granted you have made some accomplishments and you just won the Internet Championship. You have ONLY had ONE defense with that title, and that was against me, but instead of trying to focus on defending that title and trying to continue to elevate it to a new level. You want to take out Red… You want to confront Roxi and place your fake hand on her World Championship because you want something else.
 
You are nothing more than a title hungry little Bitch and it fires me up because I am sick and tired of people holding that title, and immediately wishing to go for the World Champion. I am sick and tired of having to watch that Internet Championship get used as a bargaining chip in some grand scheme to make these title vs title matches because you want something else!
 
I refuse to go journey back down that road. It just happened a year ago with Myra Rivers, and now from the way things look it seems like it is going to happen again. I won’t let that happen and for the betterment of the entire company I won’t LET that happen because that title means the world to me!
 
I have always wanted that title… it has always appealed to me. When I won that title I had the sad misfortune of SCW going on a hiatus so I really didn’t have the pleasure of really being that fighting champion that I know I am. When the company reopened I was able to get one defense under me and it was revealed that I had to face Mikah in a title vs. title unification match.
 
I did beat her and I ended up winning the World Championship because of it but in doing so that meant the Internet Champion had to fade away and that really upset me. It’s not because I was the top champion but because it meant an essential part of SCW had just gone away. Now I see you and it’s like you aren’t happy. You took out Amber you only have ONE SINGLE FUCKING DEFENSE and already you want to try to claim something else?!
 
That’s absolutely ridiculous. It’s a slap in the face of the women who bled and sweat to hold that Internet title and I am not going to let you defy that belt by immediately trying to pursue something else. The fact of the matter is as many as you bullied you just didn’t get me!
 
You fought me at Into The Void, and you vowed to the world that I wasn’t worth rapturing… You had it all wrong though. It’s that I wasn’t worth it but it’s more so the fact that you just couldn’t get the job done! I wasn’t like everybody else… I wasn’t just another woman who you choked out with your fake hand.
 
I came at you… I brought the fight to you, and I tried to take the mask because I WASN’T SCARED. I was ready for a fight and was ready to take it to you. In order for you to put me down you had to hit me illegally with that fake hand in the throat followed by your suplex.
 
Guess what though, I truly am the hardest challenge you have ever been in the ring with because I am the woman that won’t stop until I beat you. It has always been who I am. It took me a few tries to finally get over Mikah, the same could be said with Sam Marlowe, and hell it even happened with Andrea and was hoping it would also happen with Amber Ryan.
 
So why should you be any different?! The fact is you aren’t… You might have the size, you might scare everybody else but in my eyes you are just like the rest and I am going to be the woman that will cut you down the size.
 
The way I see things this is like Rocky 2… Our first match you did get me but you really didn’t BEAT me or at least in the way you know you wanted too. I went the distance on you and showed the world I could stand toe to toe with you.
 
So here we are with our second encounter and just like the Duke told Apollo Creed. That he had seen Apollo beat on Rocky like he had never seen a man get beat on before, but the scary part was that Rocky just kept coming at him! So thus he didn’t know anybody like that in his life.
 
That’s me! That is why I know I am the biggest threat in this entire company to you, and that far outweighs what Amber might do when she is one hundred healthy.
 
The reason why you should be afraid is the simple fact that I actually love this! I won’t ever stop coming at you, and I will always find a way to come at you over and over again. Even if it means I get decimated in the process I have to find the will to keep on pushing on because I am better than you.
 
Behind the fake mask and the fake hand I see nothing more than a pretender, but me… I am an actually contender and I am ready to take that title to showcase that I can be a defender! I had my share of issues but my name is Crystal Hilton and if you want to know my identity it’s the woman who leaves every single bit of herself in that ring to be the best. Nothing less and nothing more…
 
Wrestling is my livelihood and I am not going to let you make a mockery out of it by thinking that you are untouchable. Other people might be afraid but I am standing tall…Maybe just maybe if this was a horror film you would be a Michael Myers. You can get beat down, shot, stabbed, and have anything done to you. None of those things will hurt you because you like to inflict pain but this is when I have to stand opposite of that and truly be that Laurie Strode…
 
I am the final girl of wrestling and even though it may not seem like it I will find a way to get the job done. I will not back down and people live to see the timeline where I get over the hump to show the entire world that you aren’t a machine or a monster. You are vulnerable and you can lose like the rest of them.
 
I get it… Sometimes I might be a hard act to follow and people might not get me but if there is one thing that people can always say about Crystal Hilton it’s the fact that she loves to hold championships. She loves to gain the accolades and will do anything to get that limelight. You are the sure way to get exactly what I want and I will win that championship!
 
I made a promise to my wife that she will get the return of Crystal Hilton, and she is going to get her in her most competitive form. However what would sweeten the entire deal is that the Zdunichs could stand face to face wrestling for the Internet Championship with all of the cards on the table. A married couple fighting for the right to be a champion…
 
That definitely would mean a lot and it is what I am pushing for. However to get to that point I need to get past you and I don’t plan to drop the ball now. I have to beat you no matter the cost.
 
When I beat you can go on to focus on Roxi Johnson and have your eyes locked solely on her but it is definitely going to be without the Internet Championship because that comes home with me.
 
On Sunday I will fight you for all of the right reasons but the main one is because I want to be the best and I won’t anymore come in the way of that.
 
It’s time to finally roll the credits of this masquerade of what you are trying to pull. Welcome to the curtain call… Take a bow because after Sunday your show is over and mine officially begins.
 
I am the Burning Rose and it’s time to set this world on fire!!!
 
 

Mykonos Greece
Suricata Villas Mykonos
May 4th

In over a week Athens would be filled with all of the SCW roster in preparations for Into The Void, and while it sounded amazing to compete in the Olympic Sports Hall something else was more appealing about staying in Greece mainly Mykonos. It would be the areawhere not one, not two, but three members of the Gemstones would all be getting married at the same exact time. It was a cause for celebration and it was definitely unique. There was only one thing left to do. They needed to find a venue for the special occasion. The three of them all had agreed that they wanted to do the entire beachfront ordeal and they had decided to choose the venue of Suricata Villas Mykonos which was a sundry of beach houses. Everything was beautiful about the area. All four of the Gems made their way to the hotel. Three of them wore ribbons that said bride to be. Emerald on the other hand wore a tiara that had the words Maid of Honor on it. The girls were all decked out in the sexiest of swimsuits as they stood by the pool of the beach front property. A man walks over to all of them as he begins to speak.

“Welcome ladies to Suricata Villas Mykonos. This is one of the most premier places to get married while in Greece. You are in for a great time. You will love our two exclusive pools along with our hot tub. Our private beach has a view that is to die for. Just take in everything as we hope to make your stay an enjoyable one.”

Diamond smirks as she looks at the friendly man.

“Thank you so much. We are definitely going to do that because we are going to celebrate an amazing wedding! I don’t believe we caught your name!”

The man smiles as he looks back at them.

“Apollo… My name is Apollo and I am happy to serve you. Which of you is the lucky woman getting married?!”

Diamond, Ruby, and Sapphire all eagerly raise their hands in the air with a howling scream as Apollo just stands there dumbfounded, glancing at all of them.

“Wow all three of you ladies are getting married?! Whatever makes you happy is all that matters. I am sure you three are going to have a wonderful relationship with one another. We hope to make your experience a magical one and it is going to be full of excitement. It will definitely be a night to be forever remembered!”

Diamond is taken back as she glances at the man. Ruby and Sapphire both turn their noses up at him as Diamond replies.

“No… You have it all wrong. You see this is my cousin and this is her sister. We are all part of a rock band, and we are just planning to all get married on the same exact day. Hence why you see three different brides. It would have been four but I doubt Emerald is ready for commitment just yet.”

“Speak for yourself…” The green haired beauty replies as she keeps her eyes locked on the rest of the girls. “I'd rather just sit here and enjoy your special night. Besides, somebody needs to be the Maid of Honor and it’s only fitting if I take on that role for all of the girls. Either way I know tonight is going to be super fun. We just have to celebrate that tonight is going to be one of the last nights of your single life so it has to be fun and over the top!”

Diamond rolls her eyes as she looks back at Emerald.

“That just sounds like it’s bound to cause some issues. I mean we are practically on our own island here. Bad stuff can happen. On top of that I still have a championship to defend the following week so let’s at least make sure that I can make it to the event!”

Emerald shakes her head.

“No…This is a once and a lifetime event. I plan to go all out so when it is time for my wedding you girls will all do the same for me! So we might as well make this as magical as we possibly can!”

Diamond crosses her arms before Ruby looks over at everyone. She raises a bottle of Grey Goose high into the air before she begins to down it with ease. Sapphire snatches the bottle away and begins doing the same as Ruby and Sapphire fight one another for the bottle,

“This party is going to be so OUTRAGEOUS!!!!”

“Stop hogging the bottle Prudence! There’s enough for the both of us!”

Emerald giggles as she just glances at both women. She walks over and grabs the bottle making sure she takes a drink as well.

“See this day is already starting off in an amazing way. There’s nothing like having some alcohol to really get the mood going. Perhaps you should take a drink as well Diamond. You could take something to take the edge off…”

Diamond shakes her head as she looks at everyone.

“As great as all of that sounds, I still think it’s too early to be drinking. We literally just got here and I don’t want to be shitfaced wasted before we can really enjoy the night’s festivities. I hope the night is planned with something exciting. I want everything for tonight to be remembered for years to come…”

Ruby nods her head as she looks back at Diamond.

“Are you really ready to be married again Kate?! You literally got divorced a year ago and after everything Teddy put you through I want to make sure you are making the right decision. I have no doubt in my mind that Phoebe is making the right decision with Paloma and of course Courtney and I have been going strong for 16 months now. You and Dawn basically just met in January and less than five months later you are already tying the knot. That is really fast and it just seems like you are rushing into things…”

Diamond looks at her cousin before she sighs in return. Sapphire is actually nice as she looks at Kate and chimes in.

“Exactly don’t let what Ruby and I are trying to do dictate your own life. Nobody expects you to just jump up and get married. How well can you really know somebody in five months?! You don’t have to compete with me and…”

Diamond quickly shakes her head as she glares daggers at Sapphire.

“I am not competing with anybody! Why can’t people see that I actually love Dawn?! I will admit it was weird for things to move so fast but after everything that Teddy put me through I just want to move on with my life. When Dawn and I went out on that first date I just knew we felt connected. We both were getting over bad relationships and just found comfort in each other. She really loves me and I really love her. When I told her about this whole marriage thing she seemed to be very eager. I just hope it’s all the right decision. I know she was dating this girl named Jordan and I don’t want her to be caught up in still having feelings for her when she should be focused on me…”

Ruby nods her head as she looks right into Kate’s eyes.

“Okay cousin if that’s how you feel I believe in you. I just want to make sure everything is okay with you. Having to fight for Juliet’s custody took a lot. It was traumatizing for all of us. So if time is what you need?!”

Maybe Ruby did have a point. Everything was moving fast but she couldn’t show her emotions. She couldn’t show how she really had felt. So to hide she quickly grabbed the bottle and she started to guzzle it down.

“Give me that damn bottle… Instead of being worried about me, I think what I need more than anything right now is to take some of that drink. I know a lot of liquid courage will make some of these feelings go away. On top of that we are all going to get married in a short amount of time. There’s no reason to plant the seeds of doubt in my head now right?! Let’s just go about life and enjoy it together as gem stones!”

All of the girls are cheering in excitement. Finally Apollo gives them each a glass and they begin to pour the contents into the glasses. The green haired Emerald smiles as she surrounds them and she cracks a wicked grin on her face.

“Good! Now that we have all of the brides on the same accord it is time for the real party to begin!”

Diamond looks at Emerald.

“Real party?! What is that supposed to mean?!”

Emerald looks out into the ocean as they can see a speed boat heading in their direction. Diamond raises her eyes in amazement.

“What the hell is that?!”

“That would be all of your brides to be… I figure why just have the Gems here, we might as well have all of the bridal parties here to make it even more interesting!”

With that the boat pulls up and that is when we see three women in bikinis stepping out of the boat. Those women are Courtney Pierce who immediately runs towards Ruby, Paloma Carbajal who runs towards Sapphire and of course Dawn Lohan who runs over to Diamond. There is excitement as they all begin to make out with their significant others. It’s definitely an amazing sight to see as Ruby looks at everyone with a wicked grin on her lips.

“OUTRAGEOUS!!! This is quite the Bachelorette Party!!!”

Diamond nods her head as she turns her attention over to Emerald giggling.

“You really outdid yourself hun… Thank you for all of this!!!!


“Don’t mention it! This is all for you girls. You are the best band in the entire world. I just wanted this to be a special night for all of you… I love you girls. I know sometimes we don’t have the best of relationships but you deserved to have a very special night. So just sit back and take it all in. The three of you will be married and…”

Emerald sighs in return.

“I just don’t want you all to forget about me!”

Diamond quickly shakes her head.

“We won’t… How could we forget our little Emerald. One day we will be celebrating you and Adrienne and I bet it’s going to be bigger and better than what we are doing right now.”

Emerald giggles in return as Diamond continues to speak.

“So what do you have in store next for us?!”

Emerald has an evil grin on her face.

“Well…”

Before she can say anything they begin to hear sirens going off in the distance. The Gems are all taken back as speed boats begin to head in the direction of the island. Diamond shrugs her shoulders as she looks at the rest of the girls.

“What the hell is going on?! Are those cops,,, or Sea police?!”

Sapphire quickly chimes in.

“I believe the term is Coast Guard… What did we do?!”

About ten men dressed as the Grecian Coast Guard pull up to the island. They walk in the direction of the Gems as they all look at them. One of the men with a bad mustache looks at the women.

“Do you all know why the coast guard was called in tonight?!”

Diamond shrugs her shoulders.

“Bloody fucking hell what did we do?!”

Each of the men walk off of the boats with handcuffs and clubs in their hands. The guy was talking before cracks a wicked grin as he continues to speak.

“You all are being extremely bad and are in need of some punishment. So it’s time to show you how we treat some bad brides!”

With that all of the men begin to strip as they are all in g strings. They begin to thrust their pelvis around and move their way towards all of the women. The Gems are all taken back as Diamond begins to scream loudly.

“Emerald did you set this up?!”

“I told you tonight was going to be special! So let’s just have fun with these strippers!!!”

Diamond just shakes her head as one of the men has a whip and tries to whip her. Another man tries to handcuff Sapphire, while one chases Ruby around with a taser.

“Bloody hell Emerald why would you call in male strippers for three women who are about to marry three other women! You could have called in some sexy nurses! Do we look like Christian Underwood?! I bet he would have loved these naughty cops!”

Emerald grins evilly. “Live a little… There’s nothing wrong with naughty policemen! DETAIN ME MR. OFFICER!!!”

Emerald screams at the top of her lungs as she is “arrested” , detained and of course whipped. It’s a wild night for the girls as they never imagined everything that would be happening to them. The night got even wilder as they consumed more liquor, and just when you thought that enough liquor was consumed they had even more. The party got crazy, the girls had gone wild. It was crazy all around. Everybody had enjoyed themselves throughout all of the hours of the night… Until they all had eventually passed out.


The next morning Kate Steele found herself asleep on the beach. She yawned as she felt a warm body next to her. She placed an arm around the woman next to her and the two engaged into a kiss. The other woman yawned as she said the first thing that came to her mind.

“Outrageous… Courtney please kiss me like that from now on, that was amazing…”

Kate continued with the kiss for a few moments until both her and Ruby finally were awake. They quickly backed away from one another as KAte screamed at her cousin.

“Why in the hell are you sleeping next to me?!”

“OUTRAGEOUS!!! Did we… NO!!!!!”

Sapphire walks towards them and she is wearing one of the officer’s “strippers” outfits. She is befuddled as she looks at her two other bandmates.

“Bloody hell what exactly did we do last night?!”

Diamond shrugs her shoulders. “I don’t remember but have any of you see Emerald?!”

All three of the girls glanced at one another. There were bodies all across the beach. They could even spot their brides to be but what they couldn’t find was their best friend Emerald. They all glanced at one another as they knew they had to retrace their steps. I guess this is what it meant to be be dealing with a hangover. They knew they had to find Emerald or else they would not have their Maid of Honor for their wedding.











Long behold it looks like Into The Void is upon us and I know that the night is going to truly be outrageous. I never saw myself being in a position where I would open the show but it looks like that will be the case when I step into the ring with the one and only Kat Jones. How is it going Kat Jones?! From the bottom of my heart can I just say that I am actually happy that you are finally in this position. Ever since you came to SCW it just seems like you have basically been second fiddle to everybody else.

You could have really showcased your ability and taken a stand in the World Bombshell Championship scene if you would have gotten past Roxi Johnson but obviously that just wasn’t meant to be because you fucked that up rotyally. Things also didn’t go so well for you in the Blast From The Past Tournament either. No worries though because at least from there you had a chance to transition to that gauntlet match at Blaze of Glory and could have cemented yourself in a great position to be the Internet Championship contender, but obviously that just wasn’t the case either was it?

No but once again just when you think you have things figured out you end up dropping the ball against one of your newfound friends this time Crystal Zdunich. It must make you feel completely worthless that whenever you have to step into the ring with somebody you bond with that you honestly just aren’t good enough?!

So finally after losing upon losing all of these matches you finally find a place where you are actually relevant. You managed to win a Roulette Championship contenders match and now you are standing right here in this position. I would offer you a congratulations but honestly you can just royally fuck yourself.

I am not going to be nice nor will I beat around the bush. You do know what happens if you do find yourself on the losing side of things right?! It means you are at the bottom of the barrel and you have nothing else to chase afterwards. I thought you were so much better than this. You came into this company with so much hype. You were supposed to bring a breath of fresh air to the bombshells division but all I see is one huge disappointment.

One big facade who wants to cry like a Bitch because she feels her friends are doing something to her that clearly isn’t true. Then again I find it very hard to take Kat seriously because in my eyes she really doesn’t give a shit about competing here. If she did she wouldn’t be so quick to leave immediately after wrestling in her match. She is quick to get on a flight and hightail it far away from the tour site.

Her mind is too busy focused on what color she should wear for a match or what type of bagel board she should eat for breakfast. Had she put in the same amount of time that she spends on in ring career and training that she does on breakfast I bet she would be so much better.

It’s okay though because we can’t really argue about her fuckups. We just need to focus on why she isn’t going to beat me and truthfully that’s really simple when you think about it. The truth is I am just that much better at this than she is. I have primed myself into being one of the most elite bombshells in the company and in my honest opinion I am building myself to be the most hated of the year. I have seen Kat Jones talk in her previous promos and she always mentions how she is going to bring her true self to the ring. She is going to show how she isn’t so nice and why she can be cold hearted and quite the Bitch.

Yet Kat reminds us again and again why people doubt her and why she is going to be this big bad. My only question is how long are we going to have to endure her saying the same old shit over and over again. Instead of boring us to death with that same old speech, why don’t you actually do the one thing that would make you relevant and that’s go out there and win.

If you win matches I wouldn’t have to give a shit on who you are sister’s with or who your friends are. I would actually take you seriously and I could see that the proof is clearly in the pudding. Sadly everyone is going to wait a while for that to happen because I will not let you for any reason take my title away from me.

Not now and certainly not ever. I know I tend to talk a lot of shit and hell I am a Bitch. I don’t have to be underwhelming because I know how to draw heat and people are envious of me. Just look at when I wrestle in matches and have to defend my title. I usually end up being chased by women holding chairs and being sneaky little bitches hitting me in the back. Hell I even had Keira chasing with me a chair and she is supposed to be a hero. Krystal wanted me and so many others.

I could sit here and cry over what they all tried to do to me but you know how I deal with everyone that comes face to face with me?! I handle my shit in the ring. I beat them where it hurts and I always have what it takes to walk away with my championship in hand. I bring a brand new meaning to the words AND STILL and that is because throughout all of the bullshit you might have heard about me. I know how to defend my queendom. I am the champion for a reason and I can beat any dumb fuck who wishes to try to beat me!

I am the fucking champion and you better bring everything you have if you think you are going to beat me! When I came back to the main roster I defeated every single person that came in my path. Whether it was Jessie Salco, Krystal Wolfe, or even Keira Fisher. I have elevated this championship into being something great and I refuse to let some pussy ass Bitch who cries over friends take this away from me.

You have to beat a woman who has been flawless and I doubt you have it in you. The truth is I don’t even need friends to keep my title because in multiple matches when my Gem Stones were banned I still was able to walk away as champion. I have completed in ladder matches, flaming tables matches, and I still have the power to walk out on my own feet. I am a beast and in most of my matches I am extremely undersized and outmatched.

It doesn’t matter because I still hold my own because I am willing to do whatever it takes to win. I know one day I will find myself on the losing side of things but it won’t be because somebody bested me!

It will be because they had to pull out every fucking resource in order to get the job done. The last time I held this title I shattered the record. It took a woman having to knock me out with chloroform to win this title from me.

That is the type of dedication I have as a champion. Are you really willing to do whatever it takes to beat me?! Are you built to withstand what I have had to do to be champion?! I highly doubt that. I await to see what you can do Kat but in my eyes I doubt it will be enough. Come Into The Void you will be in the ring with the very best and just like everybody else you will fall on your face. Spin that Roulette and let’s make it interesting, but I promise you. I will fuck you up whether you believe so or not…

I will shine Bright…

For I am Diamond Steele and this is my division!

Off Camera
Lesbos Airport
April 29th

Arriving at the Lesbos airport felt tiring. Crystal Zdunich had been away from SCW cameras for most of the Greece Tour. It was always a known fact that Crystal lived a very busy life and tried her very best to commit to her lifestyle in Sin City Wrestling this time her time away from SCW was because she was occupied by being part of Splat’s Gemini One Tag Team tournament putting her in a cross promotion event that would crown Tag Championships to be defended across many different promotions. It was a long flight from the US to Greece but Crystal knew she had a huge tag team match with her wife Seleana. The two didn’t really team frequently so this marked a special occasion. However Crystal honestly didn’t know how to feel as she had found out from her daughter Aurora that Seleana had felt a certain way about Crystal entering this tag team tournament and not even discussing it with her.

This issue weighed heavily on Crystal’s mind and she couldn’t believe that Seleana would discuss something so important with an eleven year old without discussing it with her first. The married couple really didn’t see each other that much but this was the only thing going through Crystal’s mind. Crystal had received her luggage from the baggage claim and had already gone through customs. She walked outside and could see Seleana standing there with a smile on her face. The tall blonde quickly headed towards the direction of the blue haired bombshell. She wrapped her arms around Crystal’s waist and pulled her in for a passionate kiss. She looked into her eyes smiling at her wife.

“Hey babe… You have good flight ja?! I missed you and happy you are finally on the tour…”

Crystal however just pulled away from Seleana as she crossed her arms in return.

“Flight was fine although I doubt you really care about my feelings because if you did we would have a proper conversation instead of having to hear that you are going behind my back and discussing things with an eleven year old…”

Seleana is taken back as she brings Crystal’s bag towards the taxi cab but Crystal snatches the bag out of Seleana’s hand as she begins to carry everything on her own. Crystal is struggling and has about four bags in her hand but she doesn’t care. She rather does everything on her own instead of having to rely on Seleana for anything. The blonde raises her eyes as she replies back in return.

“What are you talking about hun?! Is this how you are going to greet me after not seeing me for a while?! With the way this tour has been going and with you constantly going all across the world and wrestling everywhere we barely see one another…”

Crystal just looks at her wife trying to assist her with the bags but Crystal pushes Seleana aside.

“I don’t need your fucking help with MY bags… I am a very independent woman and I don’t need anybody to do anything for me especially someone who feels they can talk about what I do openly with an eleven year old!”

Seleana keeps her eyes locked on Crystal as she just gets into the taxi cab.

“Fine if that’s the way you wish to act so be it. Maybe if you didn’t try to run away from your feelings all of the time and constantly cover them up with your acting bullshit we could be in a really good place.”

Crystal gets into the car as she sits next to her wife and looks out of the windows. She doesn’t even bother looking at Seleana as she sighs in return.

“Right… We can sit here and do this all night Seleana but I doubt we are going to go anywhere. Why don’t you just woman up and really ask the question that you want me to answer. This seems to be the root of our issues…”

Seleana takes a long deep breath as she vents to Crystal.

“Fine I think I will ask you the question. Why is it that you quickly ran and signed up for this Splat tournament and you didn’t even considered that I wanted to team up with you?! I thought the Hollywood Angels was supposed to be our team. You made a promise that at one point the two of us would form a team with one another. I have been waiting and you never fulfilled on that promise at all. How long am I supposed to wait for the opportunity to team up with my wife?! It just seems like you push me aside. Is it because you feel I not good enough ja?! You embarrassed that you think things would go as well?!”

Crystal turns her attention to Seleana as she shakes her head at her.

“Am I embarrassed?! No I am not… I have no problems teaming with you and hell maybe you should pull your fucking weight. We have had a few opportunities of teaming up with one another and we barely even win. In SCW it just seems like every single tag team match we have been in has always ended up with us on the losing side of things.  Just look at our record against the Johnsons… They have been lost after lost. It just seems we can’t even beat them!”

Seleana nods her head as she speaks back.

“You can’t judge us losing to them as being bad Christina. They are a tough team and that shouldn’t stop us from teaming up with each other…”

Crystal cuts her off.

“Correction… It has to do with everything. I know I am an amazing athlete. I am the best woman’s wrestler in the world. I have always been that and that is why whenever for the most part when I fought Roxi and Keira on my own I have been able to beat them. I proved what I can do but can you say the same thing?! No... The only reason why you became relevant anyway is because I put a World Championship around your waist. Hell I basically gift wrapped you a Roulette Championship and where is my thanks?! I am out here handing out hallmark cards and giving you gift after gift. The least you could do is say you appreciate me…”

Seleana is taken back at Crystal’s comments as she looks at her wife.

“So that’s how it is Crystal?! You are the one who never wishes to team with me. You were fast to choose Alexandra instead of asking me!”

Crystal vents as she shares more of her heart.

“No… I didn’t choose Alexandra first. I had to sit through being in the same company such as you in multiple companies, and not once does it ever cross your mind that you wish to be on my team. You rather push me aside and team up with your sister Zenna. You rather be Wild Side and I am supposed to get thrown to the curb. I am used to feeling like that though. It’s always the same story. Eventually the world will get on me and mock me. They will say mean things and you never stand up for me. You never tell them to stop. Everybody can scream Free Seleana but you just let it happen. Sure you say that you don’t get involved but by not saying anything you are basically saying you agree.”

Crystal takes a deep breath as she continues to share more of her heart.

“I don’t mind tough love but there needs to be some type of love. You rather show love to everybody in the entire world ranging from this cousin Freja, to this sister or that sister. To this daughter in law, to this son of mine! You show my kids love, you show my extended family love, and even my mother, but what is the point of any of that if you don’t show ME that love! I desperately wanted to be a Zdunich. I take pride in being that. It really annoyed me when Andrea ran her fucking mouth about you. It pushed me to seriously want to hurt that Bitch because that is the type of love I have in my body for the one that I love…

However when the tides are turned I don’t feel the same in return…. I did everything to save this relationship. I got help and I got counseling, but after looking at everything I have come to a conclusion Seleana…”

Seleana rolls her eyes.

“And what conclusion is that chickie?!”

Crystal points right at Seleana.

“You are a trigger… I think you are a major part of the blame. I know people would say you probably suffer from Stockholm Syndrome because you take the abuse but I think I am receiving a lot of emotional abuse. You aren’t filling up my love tank and you really need to work on that… Alexandra on the other hand IS filling up that tank, and that’s why it was so easy to team up with her for this cross promotional thing. It’s because she actually wants to be in that position. She appreciates me for me, and she takes all shades of me.

I honestly don’t know if I can say the same about you. I love a lot but you always rather team up with your sister Zenna instead of trying to be on my side. Even when we do wrestle in the same place it’s like I don’t exist. We need to fix that issue or else this marriage won’t last. How can we be tag partners when we can barely manage this marriage. Aside of doing things for Aurora what do we really do?!”

The taxi finally arrives at the hotel. Crystal exits the car as she looks right at Seleana.

“You need to think about that question. As far as things go I think it would be best if we stay in separate hotel rooms until we work things out… After all Christina HILTON can do bad all by herself. You got that Seleana?! Christina HILTON!!!!”

Crystal grabs her bags as she storms towards the front desk with all of her bags.

“Christina HILTON has arrived…”

Seleana can only stand there and watch as she really doesn’t know what to make of what just happened.















So SCW nation how is everybody doing today?!

I think the first thing I wish to tell everybody is did all of you miss me?! I know it’s been a long time since I have been booked and I will be honest I really haven’t been on the Greece Tour as much as I should have been. Things were just completely hell these past few weeks. It has always been noted that I am a very busy women and when you don’t see me on SCW Television you could catch me proudly representing SCW in some type of tournament or something in general.

I won’t lie but I am honestly burnt the fuck out. This back and forth traveling has really taken a major toll on me, but guess what everybody?! All of that traveling is officially done because I am where I belong and it’s time to focus so I can get past this match and go on to face Masque so I can take the Internet Championship.

Everybody knows I am among the best of the very best in the business and certainly what I do next won’t be any different. I know me fighting Masque is on the horizon and I need to be ready for that match. However I have a huge challenge ahead of me and right now I have to step into the ring and team up with my wife Seleana to take on the team of Mercedes Vargas and Ms. Jon.

This is definitely a weird situation that we are in but let me get something off of my chest first, and I am going to direct this to my lovely wife. Are you fucking happy now?! Isn’t this what you wanted?! You get to finally live out your biggest wet dream. You get to team up with yours truly and together the Hollywood Angels are going to take flight.

I just want to thank Christian and Mark for booking this match because it definitely appeases my wife. You see in her mind she feels like I don’t ever want to team up with her. She has it in her mind that I desperately avoid her and she rather vent to an eleven year old about how I feel?!

It sounds silly I know but maybe she should realize that I love her to no end and I would do anything for her. It hurts that she often puts me on the backburner so that she could do her own thing with her sisters. I just wished she would ask me that she wants more of this. That’s I ever wanted and maybe it is what I cry out for at the end of the day.

Regardless of that though and whatever issues Seleana and I have. We have a huge match ahead of us. We need to step in the ring with the ring with Ms Jon and Vargas.

Vargas and I have a history that goes back many years. We both seem to split wins back and forth with one another but things have always been competitive. However when it comes to wrestling in SCW I for the most part have been the better woman. I have beaten her and I am always one step ahead.

So I don’t expect her beating me this time around.

Also she is teaming up with one of the toughest women on the roster. Ms. Jon has some serious size to her and I know that she is highly dangerous. None of that even matters though. All that matters is that somehow Seleana and I will be able to gel together. We will be able to pull out a win, and we will go towards Into The Void with the momemtum.

I wish you ladies the best of luck but the Zdunichs will pull ahead.

February 28th
Monday
San Diego, California

Crystal stood at a gravesite and she wasn’t along as she stood next to her best friend Stephanie Sullivan. Tears fell down her eyes as Stephanie stood by Crystal and held her as tightly as she possibly could. She hugged her and didn’t want to let her go as Crystal started to speak.

“I honestly can’t believe she’s gone…I know we have only known each other for like three years but I was honestly thrilled when I found out the truth about my family. I didn’t have any idea that I was related to this branch of the Lopez family. I didn’t even know for the longest that the man who I thought to be my father for twenty two years of life was actually my uncle. That he was actually trying to be there for me because he knew that his brother was a huge piece of shit and he wanted to make sure I had a male figure in my life…”

Stephanie nods her head as she looks right at Crystal.

“Look as far as I am concerned daddy Pedro is your father and the way he treated you makes you his daughter. So don’t get caught up in whether he is your uncle and not your father…”

Crystal shakes her head.

“It has nothing to do with that Steph… It’s just the fact that my dad opened me up to a whole new world of family I didn’t even know existed. He introduced me to Danielle and that’s when I found out about Mariah and Mariella being my biological sisters. They accepted me…”

Crystal lets tears roll down her cheek as she looks at the freshly covered grave.

“Danielle was my cousin but she treated me like a sister. On top of that how can I ever repay her for really taking a stand in the place of an older sibling for Mariah and Mariella. I had no idea that was supposed to be my responsibility. It really makes me question how life would have been if I grew up in Sothern California around my paternal family instead of being lost in the shuffle with my maternal family in Detroit Michigan…”

Stephanie hugs Crystal tightly as she tries her best to comfort her.

“I think that Pedro wanted to protect you. He basically took on the sins of his brother as if he was the man who impregnated your mother. Your real father wouldn’t have given a shit about you but Pedro made sure you slowly were introduced to the family. He brought you to Mexico so you could learn something. He taught you wrestling and in turn you were able to make a successful life out of that. You were able to get me out of Detroit and you became a household name. I know your cousin and you were able to bond and get close. She isn’t here anymore but if there is something she would want you to do. It’s definitely to be there for Mariah and Mariella…. They will need you more than ever…”

Crystal just shrugs her shoulders.

“I really don’t know… I just want to disappoint them… Dani really was that of the older sister and she stood in the gap for me. I don’t know if I am really ready for that. Just like I know Brittany and Brayden didn’t take what happened to well. Am I supposed to be strong for everybody?! How can I possibly do any of that? I just feel so weak and…”

“Crystal just stop… It’s always the same old thing. Whatever it is that is haunting you just let it go. You are a strong confident woman. You have always been the strongest woman I know. The more you refuse to let things go is the more that it is going to affect you. You remember watching Dragon Ball Z right?!”

Crystal nods her head.

“Of course I remember… As I always tell everybody I am the Vegeta of wrestling. I am the anti-hero and…”

Stephanie shakes her head.

“No… That’s just the two tons of bullshit that you cover yourself up with is saying. Deep down you are Gohan when he was facing Cell. You have tons of potential within you. You are the strongest person in the world but you just need to let things go. As soon as you let go, you can break through your limits. There’s no telling how high you can go and…”

Before Stephanie can finish her statement it is at this moment that Crystal’s phone begins to ring. Crystal growls as she looks at the caller id and sees the name Kate Steele. She looks at Stephanie sighing.

“Oh my God this Bitch keeps calling me. Would she just stop already?! I just buried my cousin, I really don’t want to deal with somebody else’s problem!’

“Like I told you before Crystal sometimes you have to step up even when you don’t want too. Answer the phone and sees what she wants…”

Crystal is clearly upset.

“This chick has called me like 28 consecutive times. I don’t understand what is so important!”

Crystal puts the phone on answer as she answers it.

“What the fuck do you want Kate?!”

On the other end of the phone we can hear a bit of noise as if Kate was somewhere with a lot of people but that’s when the British accent answers on the phone.

“Are you fine?! I was hoping we could perhaps talk, I have a lot on my mind and I think now is the time that I want to get Juliet back and bring her back home with me. It’s been heavily on my mind but perhaps something needs to happen to Teddy. You remember how Aurora’s father suddenly disappeared?! If need be I think I want to go down that route. So check with Charlotte and Mackenize, and see if they would be willing to help…”

Crystal however begins to scream at Kate on the phone.

“Are you a fucking idiot?! My friends at the Golden Ring aren’t going to help you out of the blue! The only reason why they helped me is because I WORK there! Also my two friends don’t make any moves unless Daniel gives the approval. Second I didn’t rely on them to handle the situation they just happened to show up. I had gotten a gun off the streets and I was going to deal with that shit on my OWN. London Underground just intervened because Daniel didn’t want me to have that on my conscience. On top of that I did a lot of fucked up shit that my wife doesn’t even know about. Stuff I haven’t even told her about to this day. She doesn’t need to know I had an armed gun in our house.”

Crystal pauses as she continues to speak.

“I don’t want her to see me as being weak. That’s why I had to keep Seleana far from that. On top of that Aurora’s father is or should I say WAS a dirt bag. Teddy might be a lot of things but I know he is a GOOD father. He is also my Ex-Husband’s best friend, and a close friend of mine. I am not just going to make a move because you say so. You also don’t want to do something stupid to him that Juliet will look down on you for. Don’t make the mistakes I made… Don’t be violent… Be rational and try talking things out…”

Kate is silent on the phone as a Swedish voice replies back.

“Bye Estrellita Te Amo Ja…”

“Seriously Kate?! What the fuck are you doing with my wife?! I said all of that bad stuff about her on this call and you didn’t say anything… Whatever figure things out on your own I can’t deal with this right now bye…”

With that Crystal hangs up the phone as she goes through her contacts and proceeds to block Kate Steele. She goes further and blocks Seleana as well as she looks back at Stephanie.

“The nerve of Kate why the fuck would she make me say all of that stuff and have my wife sitting right next to her?!  Like I don’t have time to deal with that right now… Whatever she’s going through she can do it on her own.”

Stephanie just shakes her head in return.

“Just take it easy Crystal…”

“I am taking it easy. I just lost a close family member. I wish people would just back away and give me some space. Is that honestly too much to ask?!”

Stephanie shrugs her shoulders as she looks back at her.

“Remember what we just discussed. Sometimes you just need to be there for other people. Playing the role of an older sister means that when the opportunity arises you need to be able to take a stand. So helping in this situation will only help you with other decisions in the future…”

Crystal thinks about it for a few moments as she smiles in return.

“Why do you always have to be right…I hate the fact that you are always right?!”

“Maybe because I am your best friend and I know you way better than you know yourself, anyway what is next for us. Whatever you want to do I will be right here by your side…”

Crystal looks at the grave as she begins to speak.

“I promise I will be a strong woman Dani. You will be missed but I won’t let your legacy go to waste. I will be a better person and I will become the woman that I was meant to be. The family will still together and I will do my part. I love you and I can’t wait until we are reunited in heaven. Take care for now Prima…”

With that Crystal lets some tears fall down her cheek as she just stands there processing it all in. she finally wipes the tears from out of her eyes as she turns her attention over to Stephanie. Stephanie looks at her and begins to question her again.

“So as I said before what is next Crystal?! Perhaps Detroit… I know there is the fifteen anniversary for our school that they rescheduled so we could hit that up….”

Crystal nods her head with a grin.

“That’s sounds like a plan although we always seem to be in Detroit. I think we should maybe take a trip out to Mexico. Talking to my dad might be really good for me and honestly there are still some stuff that I have to figure it about my life. You don’t really understand Stephanie… I am trying to figure out who I am, where I am going, and what I am doing. He might be the only one who has answers that I am looking for. Maybe after talking to him I can deal with whatever is dealt to me…”

Stephanie nods her head as a grin escapes her lips.

“Alright… Detroit here we come and right after Mexico is our next destination…We will find out what you are looking for and when you do get it. You won’t ever look back or question yourself again…”

With that the two of them begin to head towards the car. They proceed to get inside as a lot was weighing heavily on Crystal’s mind. However after this journey she will finally be able to do things in the way that she wanted, and then nothing would ever cause her to ever doubt herself ever again. The two drove off into the distance as they had a destination set for that of Mexico.

 








March 10th
La Paloma’s Gymnasio
Mexico City, Mexico

It had felt like an eternity since Crystal had visited her wrestling school in Mexico. Crystal however felt the need to visit her school. It wasn’t so much as to check on her students as all of them definitely missed her considering travel restrictions were hard when the pandemic hit. However this was a chance to finally check in and most importantly to answer the question of “Who am I?!” Crystal was here for one purpose only. She had to visit her visit. It had been a while since she had spoken to him person. Crystal was with her best friend Stephanie. Stephanie smiled as she looked around.

“Damn Crystal you should really visit here more often. All of this is awesome. I miss being here.”

“Yeah… I miss it too. I remember when this place was called Pedro’s Gymnasio that was before he gave it to me of course. He pulled me out of Detroit and he did everything in his power to make me become something. I don’t know where my life would be if he didn’t save me when he did.”

Stephanie nods her head with a grin.

“Yeah and because he saved you, you in turned came about and saved me. You created a future for so many people, and established a legacy that even people such as your children can look upon. There’s nothing wrong with a good rags to riches story Christina…Hopefully he can help you find out what’s really hurting you on the inside so you can finally put it to rest…Not to mention Kate really needs your help to get her daughter back…”

Crystal shrugs her shoulders sighing.

“…Stop saying that… I can’t save everybody. The world’s problems aren’t my issues… I…I just don’t know…”

“Crystal just take things slow… Let things play out. I assure you the answers are seeking you definitely will find… Just remember it’s not just about Kate. You have your children that look at you and of course you have your siblings. It’s all a lot but just take it all in strides…”

Stephanie nods her head before she walks away going to check some stuff out about the gym. Crystal begins to walk throughout the gym watching some of her wrestling students give everything they have in order to become bright hopefuls of the future. One pink haired woman walks over to her with a wide grin on her face. She walks all over to Crystal grinning.

“Hey Crystal been a while since you been here… I basically became head trainer while being here…”

There stood Ashley Whitmore. She was a girl in her late twenties who was Crystal’s best protégé. Crystal nodded her head as she looked back at her.

“I can see that Ashley… Who knows maybe one day you might actually go on to have just a taste of the type of ability that I have. Anyway where’s my dad… I really didn’t come here to check all everybody as much as I came here to speak to him…”

Ashley raises her eyes in return.

“Oh… He’s in the office. He is always in the office just checking paperwork and watching you on television. Why don’t you go knock or just go in there. It is your wrestling school after all.”

Crystal nods her head as she walks towards the office. She doesn’t bother knocking as she instead opens the door. That is when she sees her father sitting there. She smiles reaching out to him.

“Hey papi…”

“Mija!!!!!!!!!!!”

He says in a strong Mexico accent as he rises out of his chair as he hugs her as tightly as he can.

“O Dios Mio… It’s been a while Mija!!! I…. “

Crystal is all tears as they just fall rapidly down her cheek.

“I can’t believe she’s gone papi… I can’t believe she’s really gone!”

Pedro stands there as she shares in this emotional moment. He hugs his daughter and refuses to let go.

“I know…Had I known earlier I would have been there at the funeral and…”

Crystal just shakes her head.

“No…That would have been hard for you… Someone your age shouldn’t have to bury a niece and I wouldn’t want you to witness that…”

Pedro just nods his head in return.

“You know I am here for you right?!”

“Yes and I plan to stay here for a while. I know I have a big match in Los Angeles soon but I just want to be right here by your side. I need my daddy… Dani did so much for Mariah and Mariella. She was like their older sister but with her gone I really have to take my place. There is still so much I really don’t understand. I know I have a lot going through my head right now. Like questions that range from why you decided to enter my life and become my father covering up for your brothers mess. I want to know how I can be there for so many different people in my life. Most importantly I need to finally figure out who I am. I could never figure that question out. No matter what I do it always manages to be the same thing over and over again…”

Pedro nods his head.

“Don’t worry Mija… We will do this together… Papi will have his mija’s back…. Let’s go look at some of the students and just talk about the past. Understanding that will really help us look toward the future…”

Crystal nods her head as she just can’t stop hugging her father. More tears flow from her eyes.

“Thank you daddy… Thank you…”

“Don’t worry… This is something we will do together… One can’t figure out things on their own and that’s the first lesson in all of this…”

With that the two of them walk out to look at the rest of the students as we leave this image.

Before Inception
San Diego, California

On television Diamond Steele was definitely as tough as they came. She was the manipulative bitch who always enjoyed being the very center of attention. She wanted everything to be focused solely on her and didn’t mind doing whatever it took to make sure that people knew she was the talk of the town. It didn’t matter if her actions got her arrested or thrown in jail. As long as people were talking about her that’s the only thing that mattered. However outside of the wrestling ring the woman known as Kate Steele was desperately hurting. She had never really moved on past the mere thought of arriving at home from a day at the zoo with their daughter and finding her husband sleeping with another woman. That image kept haunting her over and over again, and as much as she tried to suppress it, nothing seemed to help. Kate knew that she had a huge wrestling match on the horizon. She had just defeated Krystal Wolfe and the future was definitely looking bright.

If she could get past Myra Rivers and Adrienne who knows what would be coming in her direction. Kate was clad in her Jem and the Holograms pajamas. In her hand was a tub of Rocky Road ice cream and she didn’t have any problem devouring it all by herself. Kate had started to walk towards her daughter’s bedroom when her blue haired cousin stood in the hallway, and she couldn’t help but scream in her direction.

“KATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

Kate rolled her eyes as she peeked into Juliet’s room before her eyes met with that of Ruby’s.

“Bloody fucking hell woman why are you yelling at me?! Can’t you see I am really busy?! I was going to check in with the daughter. On top of that there’s no reason to yell at me to begin with. I am standing right here. I can hear you just fine. So let’s work on lowering your voice and…”

“OUTRAGEOUS!!!! Besides you should put down that tub of ice cream! You have a huge match booked and you better be at your very best. You aren’t going to be ready for whatever comes your way if you are too busy eating your life away. If you turn on Twilight that’s just going to be another problem, especially if you are team Jacob…”

Kate just rolls her eyes as she slowly begins to shake her head.

“First and foremost nobody here is watching Twilight. Second it’s all about Team Edward! I know I have a huge wrestling match coming up and my mind should be focused on fighting Myra and Adrienne but I just am not feeling it right now. The only thing going through my mind right now is what Teddy did to me. Why would he even put me through any of this?! What did I do for him to cheat on me?! I thought things were going well. I have always been right by his side even if others hated the decision. I took my role as his wife seriously and…”

Ruby just shakes her head sighing in return.

“I know Kath-Lyn but beating yourself up over it won’t solve anything. Come on I have wanted to show you something, and I want to get your honest opinion about it…”

Kate raises her eyes in return as she walks towards her room but that is when her eleven year old daughter bombards her. She is the one screaming at the top of her lungs as she is on the phone as she looks at her mother.

“OMG Mommy you won’t believe it…”

Kate raises her eyes as she looks at her daughter who seems to be on a face time call with Aurora Zdunich. Kate waves her hands to the phone.

“I won’t believe what exactly and oh by the way hello Aurora. You two always seem to be on the phone with one another…”

“That’s because Aurora is my BFF mum! However Aurora is telling me that her mother got Covid so she won’t be wrestling at Inception. She has to go to Isolation and…”

Kate rolls her eyes.

“Which mommy, you know she has two mommies…”

“Oh good point! Crystal won’t be able to wrestle…. She feels very devastated because she wanted to team up with her son…”

Kate nods her head in return as she looks at her daughter.

“That has to be a bummer but tell Aurora to be careful. With her history of having Leukemia we don’t want anything bad to happen to her. Send her family my regards and I will probably check on Christina later today. I love you Juliet. Give me a few minutes and I will be in your room so we can perhaps play video games together…”

With that Kate begins to walk away as she heads into Ruby’s bedroom. Ruby is sitting at the edge of the bed just throwing a huge giggle fit. Kate is slow as she makes her way towards her cousin. She crosses her arms as she looks right into her eyes.

“So what is going on Ruby, why are you over excited. What is so important that you just had to get me to come to your room?!”

Ruby blushes as her eyes continue to meet with that of her cousin.

“Well do you promise to keep a secret?! You are the person I look up to the most. I know Sapphire is my sister but I always felt closest to you. I wanted you to be the first person to see this…”

Kate raises her eyes again.

“And what exactly are you trying to show me. Stop playing games and just tell me already…”

With that Ruby takes her arms from behind her back. She brings them out in front of Kate. In Ruby’s hand is a small box. Ruby opens the box up and inside is a beautiful ring with a huge Ruby gem stone and small diamonds surrounding it. Ruby can’t contain her blushing as she looks at her cousin.

“So what do you think?!”

Kate let’s a smile escape her lip as she looks at the stone.

“Wait a minute is this what I think it is?!”

Ruby smiles warmly.

“Yep…This is for Courtney. Isn’t it beautiful?!”

Kate is the one who keeps her eyes open wide up as she keeps her glance at the ring.

“Beautiful isn’t even the word… I would say it’s truly OUTRAGEOUS…”

Ruby keeps looking at the ring.

“I know it is probably wrong to show this to you. I know that what you went through with Teddy is terrible and it is wrong of me just to put this on you, but you just have to understand that Courtney Pierce is one of the best things to have ever happened in my life. I honestly didn’t know what to think when I meant her a year ago. Things were rough between us but to be honest I couldn’t help but fall in love with her. She is everything to me and I couldn’t think of a world without her in it…”

Kate looks at the ring before she takes a seat next to Ruby on the bed.

“Listen I know what Teddy did to me sucks. It sucks in ways you couldn’t even imagine but I don’t want what is happening in my life to affect the blessings that are coming your way. I am happy for you Prudence. You and Courtney deserve one another and I had a front row seat of seeing things blossom between the two of you as a teacher of Jet City South. True love is hard to come by and when you truly find your soul mate you need to do everything in your power to get what you want. Courtney and you is an adorable sight and there is no doubt in my mind that she will yes to you. You deserve that much…”

Ruby looks at Kate.

“Thank you so much. Now comes the hardest part. I think I am going to approach Kris and ask him if it is okay if I could have her hand in marriage. He is like the father figure for us at the gym so I figured I would try to take the old school approach to things. Once I get that out of the way you and I can plot on how I am going to pop the big question to Courtney…”

Kate smirks before she replies back to Ruby.

“That sounds amazing but to be honest. I think it would be better if you ask Sapphire. Even though she and I don’t get along the truth is she is your sister. That is a moment you should share with her and I don’t want to cause anymore unnecessary drama between the two of us. I am content with her and I going at it about who the better guitarist is but pulling you into the middle of a drama is childlike. You shouldn’t have to be in a position where you have to choose between your sibling and your cousin. I would never put you on the spot like that so I am making the choice for you. Whatever happens I have your back every step of the way…”

Ruby rises up and that is when she looks at Kate in the eyes. She wraps her arms around her and pulls her in for a tight hug.

“I love you more than you can fathom Kath-Lyn. I know things might hurt now but I promise you will rebound from all of this drama with Teddy. You will find love again and you will be on your way. You just need to give it some time…”

Kate smirks.

“I plan too luv… Don’t think I am going to let a man who pissed on himself on television get to me. I might be bruised but I will be damn if I am at the point of being wounded. Right now I am focused on me. I have my wrestling career. I have to build that back up. We also have a band that we need to work on and there are other adventures for me to put my mind on. There are plenty of distractions for me. I will get to where I need to get…”

“Good because you have nothing but time. Anyway I love and appreciate you Kate. Keep being the awesome cousin and leader that I know you are. All of your dreams will definitely come true…”

Kate smiles as wide as she can.

“Cheers… Thank you for being the best cousin in the world Prudence. Now if you would excuse me I think it’s time for me to spend some quality time with Juliet. As long as I have her in my life that’s all that really matters…”

With that Kate walks out of Ruby’s room as she walks over to where her daughter is. She smiles as she walks into the door and looks at her.

“Okay pumpkin it’s time for that special mommy and daughter time. What should we do together today?!”

“Mommy I think the two of us should….”

Before she could finish that statement that is when the doorbell to her home goes off. Diamond raises her eyes in return as she looks at her daughter.

“Hold that thought… Let me just see who it is…”

With that Diamond walks out of the ring as she begins to walk towards the front door. She opens the door and that is when she is greeted to about five people standing there. A woman is holding a piece of paper as others begin to flip their badges in Kate’s direction.

“Hello are you Kath-Lyn Steele?!”

Kate slowly nods her head in agreement.

“That would be me… What’s going on?!”

The woman shows Kate the paper as she continues to speak.

“We are with the state of California and we represent Child Protective Services. We got a tip from a Mr. Todd Warren that you have been an abusive mother, and are here to temporarily take custody of Juliet Amelia Warren from you and place her in a foster home…”

Kate was devastated as they walked into the home. It is at that point that Juliet walks out of her room with a dumbfounded look on her face.

“Mommy what is going on…”

“Pumpkin run…. I…..”

Kate tries to run towards her daughter but it is at that point that the individuals that came to the home end up escorting Juliet out of the house.

“MOMMY!!!!!!!!!!!! WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE AND WHERE ARE THEY TAKING ME?!”

“Don’t worry Juliet… Mommy won’t lose you… I won’t lose you…”

All Diamond can do is sit and watch as she watches the state take her daughter away. She is all tears as she looks at Juliet getting into a car and it drives off into the distance. Ruby runs down the stairs as she sees a hysterical Kate.

“What’s going on?!”

“They took my daughter… Juliet is gone Ruby….”

Kate dropped down to her knees as she continued to cry. Ruby looked at her cousin as she hugged her tightly.

“Don’t worry Kate we are going to figure this out entirely. We will do this together. I will call the wrestling companies you work for and tell them that you need to take emergency family leave. We will get Juliet back. I promise you that we are going to get her back. Teddy won’t win…”

With that Ruby continues to huge Kate as tightly as she can as we fade out on this image.









Bloody hell, it feels like it has been an eternity since I actually managed to speak to all of you. I am going to be honest with all of you. Missing Inception is something that totally came out of life field for me. I was prepared to step into the ring with Myra and Adrienne to simply do what I do best but sometimes for some unforeseen circumstances it doesn’t meant to be. I know I am supposed to stand in front of you all and puff my chest out. After all I am the woman that all of you don’t like. I am the spoiled brat who does everything in her power to make sure that all of the attention flows into my direction but I can assure you that the reason I didn’t compete was truly that of a personal matter.

It was something my very livelihood I wouldn’t wish what I went through on any human. It definitely has been a rough January for me but you can rest assured that I am back and it damn sure feels amazing to be in the main event which is what I rightfully deserve. After all I am the Diamond in the Rough, I am the Shining Star, I am the Sparkling Sensation, I am the Mistress of the Microphone, and the Conqueror of Catch Wrestling. In a nutshell I know I am perhaps the best female in this company to not have won a World Title. Don’t count me out just yet because I will get there. It’s not a matter of the word IF it simply comes down to a matter of WHEN.

Right now however I have one thing that is on my current to do list, and that is chase after the Roulette Championship which should be around my waist right now. However I feel like Mark and Christian expect me to be this little fucking puppet and I have to dance whenever they pull my strings. That is complete horseshit. Everybody knows that I am a legitimate challenger for the Roulette Championship. I beat the champion in the middle of the ring.

It doesn’t get any clearer than it does with a win over the current champion but it seems like I am going to be a victim for what they put wish to put me through. This week I happen to find myself into the main event against a woman who I am very familiar with and she comes in the form of Jessie Salco.

How is it going Jessie?!

I can honestly say that it is definitely a case of long time no see. The two of us have a huge history with one another and it’s one that nobody wishes to remember. At one point I was the third member of the Metal and Punk connection but it seems like all of that was forgotten. I know Jessie Salco was immediately trying to sweep that history between us under the ring like it never existed and she thinks that she couldn’t stand to be around me when I pulled the entire Diamond charade but honestly she has wronged me before I ever wronged her…

And believe me I honestly can’t remember when I actually did something to her. Maybe because in my mind she was never really worth it to begin with?!

And do you want to know why exactly that is?! It’s simple really… It’s because Jessie doesn’t know how to get shit done. Had she did she wouldn’t have been such a moody Bitch that she has been for so long. There was a point where she would try to call out a champion every SINGLE fucking week. It became disheartening and quite frankly annoying. I remember it got to a point where it had gotten so bad that she had actually gotten banned from challenging for a Championship match.

I remember as clear as day and you want to know why?! It’s because I actually was her friend. I was both her and Amy Marshall’s friend. However friendship didn’t stop her from stabbing me in the back because she tried to use me as a loophole to be the workaround into getting a title match. I had busted my ass doing everything in my power to win the Golden Briefcase. I earned that in the right way. I did it honestly but do you think Jessie was happy for me?!

Of course she couldn’t be because as soon as I was celebrating she made sure to attack me from behind. She made her intentions known and at the end of the day she was envious because I had something that she didn’t. I had an opportunity to control my own fate, and Jessie just wanted to do whatever it took to steal the briefcase from my grasps. Long behold I find myself in a position where I have to DEFEND my briefcase against her.

Something that I worked my ass into winning was then put on the line just to appease Salco. You can kind of guess what happened next because I went on to beat Salco. I ruined her chance to work around the loophole and I put her right in her place.

Salco can try to no sell me on Twitter as much as she wants too. People can try to call me out on some fluke bullshit, hell it’s even in the actual description of the match this week. Make no mistake about it though. There is nothing that is a fluke about me. I always have given it one hundred percent whenever I step into the ring. You however haven’t always done the same. I know people wish to give me shit but for what exactly, because I am actually good?!

You Jessie are the epitome of a fluke.  Your journey to being a relevant singles champion was winning a triple threat match for the Roulette Championship. You managed to pin Faith even though Alexis Morrison was the champion. So it’s not like you BEAT the champion. You simply beat the OTHER woman.

Hell in the Roulette Division alone you are like a 4 to 5 time champion and that SHOULD be impressive. However if you really glance at your record as a champion you win the title and hold it for about 2 to 3 weeks before immediately dropping it. That is as pathetic as they come and I would say that makes you a fluke. There was one reign that went for an amazing 3 months but what’s said is that I managed to win that title one time.

When I won the title I held it for an amazing six months. I set the bar, I became the standard and I became the record. What you tried to do in all of your reigns together you couldn’t even measure up to my one and only reign. However I guess at the end of the day I just am not that good in your eyes.

Spoiler alert I got that title by winning s six woman Elimination match, and guess who I eliminated last to claim the title for my own… I believe it was you…

But hey let’s not bring any of that up because that’s old news. Me beating YOU should never be brought up right?! I mean I defended my briefcase against you, I won the Roulette title by BEATING YOU but you are so good right?!

Hey there was the one time when you were Internet Champion?!  I know it might have been forgotten because it happened like six years ago. You were a champion though! It sounds great on paper and you actually managed to hold the title for like a month and a half.

It WOULD have been more impressive if all of your defenses weren’t against Melody Grace and you always managed to defend the title with some dirty dusty finish. When things were finally put into perspective she took that title away from you, and guess what makes it even better.

I end up beating the WOMAN that BEAT you so how does that make you look in the end?! It makes me look so amazing because I defended that title and then a few years later not only do I win the Internet Championship again but I tied the record. I go on to hold the most defenses as the champion and most combined days as champion. Once again I set the bar and the standard.

Hey during that second reign guess who happened to be one of the women in that ladder match for the vacant Internet Championship?! YOU WERE THERE!!!

Of course I feel like I should applaud you for you actually  managed a decent tag team career but I can also say all that means is that you were carried to greatness by multiple partners. People wish to throw my name in the mud but you are just one of those women who get handed championship opportunities. Not because you deserve them but you exist to make a champion look good. Nobody really expects you to beat a champion and when it does happen people always assume that your opponent had an off day. It’s not like you were the favorite by any mean.

It wasn’t that long ago when you actually won yourself a shot at the Internet Championship and what did you do with that title shot?! Not a damn thing… You dropped the ball just like we all knew you would. So here you are and now you get to face me.

If you haven’t managed to beat me in any big profile match what gives you any insight to thinking that you are going to beat me in this main event?! There is no hope and honestly after researching what we have been through I would like to say that I am pretty consistent at doing what I need to do in order to get the job done.

Sure I run my mouth but I back up my shit. I earn my shit. There’s a reason why I won the briefcase in the first place. There’s a reason why I was a finalist for the Blast From The Past. There’s a reason why I set the record for the Roulette and Internet Championships and that’s because at the end of the day I know what I am about. People take me seriously and I can rock out with the best of them.

You simply just suck and it would be a bloody travesty if you somehow found your way to gaining a win over me. It’s not going to happen. Not now and certainly not ever.

And now we are going to be tested by being in a Rock and Roll Death Match. On paper it sounds absolutely fun but here is the difference between the two of us. I am the woman who actually plays in a band. I am actually in two bands to be truthful.  You think Griffin Hawkins would be the guitarist for Devilition if I couldn’t rock out to hair metal?! On top of that you think I could be the leader of a band if I didn’t know music?!

This is where we differ. You are a metal chick and are just the idiot that could be seen moshing in the audience. Then again that is really what separates us. I am the star on the stage actually performing for the world to see, and you are just the idiot moshing about trying to cause a scene.

Then again I can respect you as being in the audience. It seems to be a main constant of your SCW career as you are forced to sit on the sidelines and watch the better talents wrestle in the big marquee matches.

Welcome to the main event Jessie. Don’t you dare try to mosh with me because I have already played this show before! I already came back out and did it again for the Encore. I don’t know how many times I get beat you over and over again however I guess I will do it once again.

As long as the music is playing I will be rocking and rolling all over the ring with you. We can take a dance break and I will show you footwork that you can’t keep up with. At the end of the day I know for a fact I am better than you, and you will be nothing but an afterthought.

Cheers but it’s time to show you why this Diamond will always shine bright.

See you soon Jessie and best of luck. You certainly are a woman that will need it…

Feels Good To Be Home
Zdunich Mansion
December 8thth

It had been a little over two weeks since Crystal had returned home. Despite all of the issues that the married couple had been through it definitely felt good for Crystal to be back home. Crystal smiled as it was in the early hours of the morning. She had decided to do something really nice for the family. She woke up as early as possible to make a Mexican Breakfast. The huevos rancheros had come out perfectly and she was in the preparation of making green salsa. She wanted things to go perfectly because there was a lot that had to be discussed with the loved ones in her life. It was much needed table discussion and with Aurora away at school, and the rest of the home empty with the exception of her, Alexandra, and Seleana. Today marked like the perfect day to get things off of her chest and really let them know how she felt. She was in the middle of pouring the glasses of apple juice on the table when her wife Seleana walked into the kitchen. There was a smile from the Swedish woman as she looked over at her wife.

“Something smells good Ja?! You must have spent a long time cooking…”

Crystal nods her head with a huge grin as she looks back at her wife. She kisses her softly on the cheek as she walks over to the table. She pulls out a chair and motions for Seleana to sit in it. Seleana obliges as she does what is asked. Crystal pushes the chair in before setting some silverware on the table. There was nothing but smiles emerging from the lips of the Afro Mexican as Alexandra walked into the kitchen. She stretches her arms and yawns as she looks at Crystal.

“Damn Crystal… You out here throwing down in the kitchen, you must be in a good mode…”

Crystal nods her head as she begins to place the food on the table. She walks up to both women and proceeds to kiss them. She stands in the middle of the room taking a long deep breath as she begins to speak.

“Hey ladies… I know these past two months had been really rough. I know it was really selfish of me to walk away from what I love the most but it was definitely a time of soul searching. It wasn’t easy for me to look at myself because I have lived a very selfish life. I have always been selfish especially since I had Brittany and Brayden when I was only 13 years old. I spent my entire teenage years trying to grow up far too quickly I never really got a chance to be a teenager and enjoy my youth. I was always there for somebody else and it definitely showed for the next 21 years of my life.”

Crystal begins to break down crying a bit but she regains her composure as she wipes her eyes and tries her best to speak some more.

“I didn’t do that great of a job at being a mother because of the selfishness. I know that I failed as wife and that’s because I didn’t like the woman that stared back at me in the mirror. How could I even open myself to love others when I didn’t love me?! There was also my career in wrestling. No matter the company the story was all the same. The only way I could find my identity was in trying to win championships and claim accolades. Not because I wanted to do it for the honest love of the sport and being better. No… It was more for the fact that I felt it could fill in that void. I felt it could make me happy. I felt it COULD and WOULD MAKE people appreciate me. However when you cover things with two tons of bullshit people will still be able to look at all of your bullshit. People could see right through it. People have a habit of seeing beneath the surface…”

Crystal sighs as she nods her head as she looks at both of the women.

“So when I tried to force myself to be loved. Eventually people did the opposite. I didn’t care though. I became impulsive of trying to flip flop with my emotions and my alignments. I just wanted people to have their attention on me. However as I got deeper into my selfishness I realized I pushed away those that were closest to me which included both of you. I constantly and consistently make matters worse with those who are closest to me. I know it has to be weird sitting right here now especially with the both of you…”

Crystal looks at Seleana just sighing as she holds her hand.

“I met you when I thought I was at my lowest. Jonathan wasn’t giving me the attention I deserved. I was also part of a secret relationship with one of my best friend’s sister in Jessica Jackson. I had proposed to her and we were engaged. However that selfishness and lack of really getting the time to experience my youth due to the early motherhood forced me to want something different. So I used the Angels and my friendship with Stacy Marie Jones to bring me to you. I loved how you physically look. In my eyes I honestly saw a woman who would make the perfect little trophy.”

Christina let’s more tears fall from her eyes as she begins to speak some more.

“That has been wrong and lord knows I have definitely put you through some shit. I haven’t been honest. Even though I got married once again and this time to a beautiful woman, it still never stopped me from making the same mistakes. That’s how I was led to Alexandra. Yeah I did the unfaithful thing. I slept around with Alexandra and she became my secret girlfriend. It was wrong to betray your trust Seleana especially after I broke the sanctity and covenant of our marriage…”

Crystal looks at Alexandra as she speaks to her.

“And it was wrong for me to simply use you to satisfy my own desires. You knew I was a married woman and despite your urges you wanted to stay away out of respect. However I pushed you in my direction. I brought you into this and I tried to do everything in my power to hide this secret. What I didn’t expect is that Seleana is definitely a ride or die. I never knew she was such a day one, and I love that. Eavan was right when she said that Zdunich women are loyal to the very end. I have done so much awful shit to you Seleana but you stayed right there and I don’t really comprehend it…”

Seleana nods her head as she looks back at her wife.

“I know that hurt people hurt other people Chickie. I knew you were hurt from the way you interact with everything from the way you treat your children. You are misunderstood. I love you though and even when you didn’t love the real woman beneath the surface I did… I always did. I love all versions of you Estrellita. I love even the parts that you hate because through it all I simply love you. When you told me you cheated on me with Alexandra I was heartbroken…”

Seleana looks at Alexandra before slowly moving her eyes to Christina.

“My closest friends and in laws told me to leave you. They told me that you would never change and I should get out when I could. However I didn’t get out because I knew we could work things out. I not have Stockholm Syndrome but I have belief and faith in my wife. That is more important than how others view you. Even when everybody hates Crystal I made decision to be the one to love her through everything. I live for the day you bring honesty to yourself. I waited for that day…”

Seleana keeps looking at Alexandra as she sighs.

“You were unfaithful but you were at least honest about it. I decided to take things in and bond with Alexandra. It may have been weird at first but she’s a genuine person and I love how much she has been there for Aurora. She has been a very important part of her life, and I would say our life…”

Crystal nods her head.

“And I appreciate you actually accepting Alex. Not many people would have done what you did. Alex it was wrong for me to get you involved in this mess, and for me to have you come off as a home wrecker of some sort. I might have pushed things a bit but I thank that you didn’t walk away and you have stood by my side. I know I have so many issues and that was all part of the reason why I walked away. I did so to handle life and to really fix what was broken. My time away is when I realized how much of a problem I was. I have been getting counseling and I am fixing those problems. I know I am not perfect but I am trying to be better…”

Alex nods her head with a grin.

“And we appreciate what you did. I know it hurt at first to see you walk away and I didn’t want to just wait around while you did. I wanted to do my own thing but that’s when I came to the conclusion that I can’t have a world without you in it Crystal…”

Seleana nods her head in return.

“And me too chickie… I need you in my life…”

Crystal takes a long deep breath looking at both.

“And I not only want the both of you but I NEED the both of you. I want us to all get closer together in a much deeper way and that’s why I think that during the Christmas break we should all take our relationship even further. We should have a ceremony to establish our lives with one another, a marriage with one another. It may not be legal in this country and that’s fine. We at least know what’s going on and we can go to a lawyer and work out a will and everything else. I want us to all be a happy family and to really take this journey into the new year with commitment to one another.”

Seleana smiles in return.

“I agree…”

Alexandra is crying as she looks at Crystal.

“Thank you for including me… I am lost for words…”

Crystal shakes her head.

“Don’t be lost for words… Thank you for being there for me and sticking by me. No more hiding anything. It’s time to be out in the open about everything, and for all of us to live the happy life that we deserve…”

The three just look at one another. It is definitely one big happy scene as Crystal takes a seat at the table. The three smile as they start to enjoy their breakfast together.








Hello everyone this is Crystal Zdunich here. I know it has been quite some time since I have had the pleasure of having a match. The last time I was featured was in the main event of High Stakes. It was a triple threat match for the World Bombshell Championship. It was definitely quite the match and I poured everything into that match. At the end of the day however I just didn’t win and Amber managed to retain her championship.

Granted the selfishness in me wants to look at the fact that I wasn’t the woman pinned and there is still something inside of me that feels I need to have another chance at Amber Ryan. I won’t be able to move on until she beats me one on one in the middle of the ring. It pains me knowing the fact that I have worked so hard to really become something in the wrestling world. I have bust my ass to build my reputation as being one of the best of the best.

Yet nobody ever wishes to give me their respect. They immediately look down upon me. They don’t see the Hall of Famer and the woman who has won five World Championships in this company. All they ever see is a woman who is selfish and a woman who can be a bit of a glory hog and other stuff.

I understand that I am super passionate about things. I think what I don’t like going into Climax Control is the fact that SCW wants to know how do I feel about being named as a challenger for Amber Ryan.

You really wish to know how I feel?!

Truth be told I don’t want to be named as a challenger because that’s not my style. Never has been and certainly will be. I know Mercedes can sit on her high horse and try to spew off at the mouth about my business. How about she focuses on what she does and I focus on me.

If I become a challenger for something it’s because I have earned it. It’s because I have fought through everything and really stood out as the one to fight for the next big thing. That is how I wish to be in contention for something. I don’t need anything handed to me.

I know everyone will assume that I am angry and that everything should be solely focused on me but that’s not me. If anything the only thing I am mad about is the fact that I have been sitting on the sidelines since High Stakes. I was good enough to main event a show but I have been pretty much MIA since that big event.

I simply want a chance to shine! I want a chance to stand out ahead of everybody and I want to showcase my talents. That is all I ever wanted. This week on Climax Control I know for a fact that I get the chance to do exactly that. I will be stepping into the ring with Candy and she is a woman that I respect a lot. She is one of the sweetest women in all of the company and I am not saying that to make a pun. I truly mean that. She won most popular of the year and that just shows you how much she is loved by all of the masses.

That is an award that I know I would have a hard time at winning. However I didn’t come here to be loved. I didn’t come to this company to be focused on popularity. I came focused to win and simply be the best wrestler that I can, and I won’t let anybody get in the way of my goal at being such.

Candy is a very tough wrestler and I know at one point she was in a match of the year and she was a dominant Roulette Champion. I can respect those things but she needs to understand that I am at the point in my career where I am ready to get right back on track. I am ready to get back into the fray. I am ready to stand out and be somebody that people take seriously. It starts by getting past this first match and once I do I can go onward to other stuff.

So bring everything you got Candy but I assure you that it just won’t be enough. Nothing will ever stop this rose from blossoming…


 

Off Camera
Love And Hope Support Group
Las Vegas, Nevada

It had been one week since Todd Williams had set up his ex-wife Crystal Zdunich to go to a domestic abuse and violence support group. Crystal and Todd were now here for a second session. The first session had gotten a little intense with Todd admitting to Crystal that he was sorry for all of the abuse that he had put her through. Crystal didn’t want to admit it but thinking about it all. Todd abusing her had a huge impact on Crystal. It may not have seemed like it but 17 years of abuse would only go on to affect Crystal for years to come. It explained why she was always impulsive, why she always felt the need to be accepted, and why she would hurt so many others. As the saying goes hurt people end up hurting other people and her failed 5 marriages was definitely a true sign of that statement. Today Crystal wasn’t hiding anything as she came as herself. There was no wig to hide her identity or even glasses. She sat in the middle of the group as she looked around. Lisa the facilitator of the group looked at Crystal offering her a smile.

“Thank you so much for returning Carmen…”

Crystal however shakes her head as she looks back at everybody in the group. She takes a long deep breath as she replies back.

“My name is Christina… However you can call me Crystal for short. I just want to say Todd couldn’t be here tonight. He has to spend time with his current wife and family, but I am appreciative that he was able to bring me here last week. If you don’t mind I think I would like to share some stuff with the group…”

Julie one of the other abused women just nods her head in agreement before Lisa nods in return.

“By all means you can share whatever is on your heart. Like we told you the week before this is a no judgment zone. Whatever you are going through let it be known that we are here to give you an open ear. We all have been through some traumatic events so you don’t have to feel afraid. We are all in the same boat…”

Crystal nods her head as she looks around before she looks at all of the other women and finally begins to speak.

“First and foremost I just want to offer an apology to the entire group. Last week I really was afraid to be here. I was scared that you all might have judged me. Sometimes all of this is overwhelming. I am a wrestling superstar. One of the biggest names in the world, a major actress, but I have always dealt with people coming down hard on me. I often feel like I have to put up a façade because I don’t want people to see my true feelings and how vulnerable I can be… I feel like if I don’t put up that façade people will attack me or…”

Juliet shakes her head as she places a hand over Crystal’s.

“Christina we wouldn’t judge you. In here we don’t see you as the person you might try to portray on television, wrestling or however the entertainment world might view you. We see a woman just like us. One who has been abused and has been through the same stuff that we have…”

Lisa nods her head.

“Exactly… In here you are one of us, and we are a family who have each other’s backs so don’t worry about anything. Go ahead Christina. Just share your heart and we will be here to listen…”

Christina nods her head as she looks back at the group taking a long deep breath as she shares more of her heart.

“To be honest last week was really eye opening to me. I didn’t realize that there were people out there who had gone through what I have gone through. When my ex-husband stood in front of this group and told everyone that he was sorry for abusing me I honestly never thought of anything in that light before. I never saw myself as a woman who was abused. However as he broke it down and as you guys broke down that domestic abuse has many forms I guess I had gone through my share of hurt. It took real courage for him to basically share how his life was and what type of an abuser he was to me… After he apologized to me I knew I had to forgive him. I can’t hold onto that grudge forever…”

Crystal sighs as she looks to everyone in the room as she begins to speak some more.

“However it would be unfair for me to let him take all of the responsibility of what I have been through because I feel there’s so much more than just that, especially when it involves me. I never realized it but I can finally stand here and tell all of you that I have been an abuser to just about everybody in my life. It hasn’t been physical but I have spread a huge share of emotional abuse to everybody who has been in contact in me…”

Crystal chokes up as she stands there. Tears begin to flow from her eyes as Julie begins to hug Crystal tightly. Julie speaks to Crystal.

“So why do you feel you abuse people?!”

Christina thinks about it before she looks around the room and continues to speak some more.

“I abuse people because…. Because… I guess… No… I abuse people because I want to feel a sense of power of control. If I can use people to fuel my own agenda I know that I won’t get hurt. I know that I will get what I want and it guards me from getting hurt. It was never my intention to be a manipulative Bitch. It just happened because of how much I have been hurt. All of that hurt led to me constantly changing and doing whatever to be accepted or noticed….”

Christina looks at everybody before she takes a long deep breath and speaks more.

“That’s how I always treated everybody but then there’s my current wife Seleana. I honestly don’t know what or why she chooses to stay by me so much. I feel like since we got together I have been living a lie. Did I really want to be with her when my friend Stacy introduced me to her?! To be honest no… At the time I was just upset because my husband at the time Jonathan wasn’t giving me the attention I thought I deserved. I wanted all of the attention. I wanted to be the center of attention and wanted the spotlight. Quite often I felt like he ignored me so instead of being ignored I indulged in meeting this tall drink of water. Not because I really wanted to be with her but to fit a need of being with someone just so I wasn’t alone…”

Crystal shakes her head as she can’t help but let more tears roll down her cheek.

“She had filled a need but little did I know that she would fall deeply in love with me. I promised her the world. We were supposed to be a tag team in our wrestling profession and I never really lived up to that word. We eventually got married and shortly after we did I physically abused her just so I could advance my own career.”

Lisa just nods her head as she keeps her eyes locked on Crystal.

“And why did you do that exactly?!”

“To be honest I don’t know. I guess I was just selfish. I just wanted things for myself. However despite what I put her through she never gave up on me. She never gave up on the marriage, and I just don’t know why?! She stuck it through. I have broken her heart on so many different occasions. I cheated on her, I turned on her but she always just took it. She accepted my children as her very own and at the end of the day she has been holding out for me. It’s like all she can see is the best version of me and I don’t know why…I don’t see the same stuff in me that she does…”

Lisa looks back at Crystal as she replies back.

“You ever consider it’s because through everything she really loves you… She knows that deep down beneath everything she sees a woman who is strong. Instead of trying to go about pushing her away or trying to showcase this sense of power have you ever considered that you could allow yourself to be vulnerable to her?! That same emotion that you shared with the group is what you should be showing to her…I can’t speak for her because I don’t know her but just basing off what I have seen with similar cases. She just wants you to open up your feelings to her. Have you expressed them?!”

Crystal sighs shrugging her shoulders.

“Not really… I mean I might have tried to force certain emotions or hide them. I gave Seleana some bull crap but I wasn’t really giving her sincere emotions. They were just emptiness and to be honest she doesn’t deserve it. She deserves better. These past couple of months have been the worst for me. The entire world has been clamoring for Seleana to be freed. They wanted her to walk away from her captive to shed herself from the abuser. Pride is definitely a Bitch because Lord knows I never want to agree with anyone. However after really looking at what Seleana has been through she shouldn’t be tied to a leech who will suck her dry. She deserves better than that. In my heart I know she wouldn’t walk away so that’s why I chose to leave…”

Crystal lets more tears roll down her cheek as she looks at the camera.

“I chose to step away from her and my daughter. So now she is left to be a single parent while I am here talking to all of you in hopes of trying to get better. So go on and tell me what I want to hear. Tell me how awful I am as a person! Tell me how I don’t deserve her and this is for the best…”

Everybody in the room just looks at Crystal as she begins to get even more emotional. She takes a long deep breath as she looks at everyone in return. However Julie just looks right at Crystal.

“That is just the hurt in you speaking and there’s nothing wrong with that. Let me ask you a question, and it’s an honest one at that. How do you personally feel about Seleana. If she was right here what would you say to her?!”

Crystal has more tears flow down her cheek as she replies.

“I would tell her that I don’t know how she has been able to put up with me so much. I would tell her that I am definitely not good for her. I am too self-centered and no matter how many times she forgives me it’s a cycle that never seems to stop. All I do at the end of the day is hurt her. She needs to get off of this train and really do better for herself. She has great friends who love her. Friends who give her the best advice and perhaps she should choose their opinions over my own. As far as how I personally feel about Seleana?! I love her with all of my heart. She is my entire everything. She is my heart, and without her I feel my world would self-destruct. I would give up anything and everything for things to work out between us. She is the most important thing in my life. Sometimes it is really hard to gauge that but it shouldn’t have even been a question. It has always been her…”

Crystal takes a deep breath as she shares more.

“I have been divorced five times now and in every other circumstance everybody else has always walked away. Not Seleana though… She has stuck it through and I guess that what makes her the most desirable. I want her… I need her… and I know I can’t afford to lose her…”

Christina breaks down more. All of the women stand up as they begin to hug her tightly. Julie hands her a box of tissues as she reaches out to her.

“I know it must be tough to acknowledge the truth but there’s no mistake that you definitely love Seleana and at the end of the day she loves you. I know it was a very tough decision to give up the very thing you love but you did so to better yourself. You want to become better so you can be a better woman for everybody in your life. However just keep taking these steps to do the right thing because in the long run it’s going to help you out in ways you couldn’t even fathom. Seleana definitely loves you and the fact that she has stuck by you for this long clearly showcases that. You said something earlier that caught my attention and I want to ask you a really honest question…”

Crystal nods her head.

“Sure go ahead… At this point I am willing to answer anything…”

“Okay… I know how much your career means to you before you were talking to us wearing a wig because you didn’t want this to hurt your reputation. You didn’t want it to tarnish anything close to your legacy. That tells me that it means a lot to you. Add in the fact that you told us that you basically betrayed your wife to further your career and it’s easy to tell you like the status and the reputation. If you had to choose between your wife and your career which one would you choose?!”

Crystal looks at everyone in the group as she wipes the tears out of her eyes and seems confident.

“It’s not even a question… A few years ago I would have chosen myself but that’s not the case anymore. The answer is always going to be my wife. After what she has continuously done to support me and my family, I can’t go against her. Sometimes it’s hard to figure it out. Why should I go against the one person who is always on my side no matter what?! I have always focused on doing things for the wrong people.  Why try to do things for the support of a majority that will never accept me when there is always going to be one loyal one that’s always there since day one. The same loyal one who will be there for the rainy days as well as enjoy the sunny days?! I love Seleana and I would trade the luxuries, the legacy, and everything for her. It’s not even a question in my mind and it’s not even close. My wife is everything to me…”

All of the women in the room begin to clap their hands in unison as they look right at Crystal. Lisa slowly replies back.

“Good… You know that the most important thing to you is your wife. Being able to leave your wife and your child to get better was a very hard first step but now there’s an even harder step left out there for you to do. You have to go about confronting your wife and telling her face to face what you told us here. Let her know how much she means to you. Assure her that things are getting better and that you are in it for the long run. I feel if you really have a serious heart to heart with her things are going to be better than you imagined and your relationship will be in an even better place. Share your heart and just tell her how you feel… You won’t get anywhere by locking away your emotions. Let her be part of your life. Showcase why she is loved and why you love her so much…”

Crystal just looks at Lisa giving her advice. Lisa was right. This group session was very therapeutic for her. As much as she hated being in this group she felt somewhere that she could actually fit in. Crystal looks around at all of the other women as she can’t help but smile at them.

“Thank you so much for accepting me. You have no idea how much these sessions mean to me. I never expected that I would open up quickly but I feel like it’s really helping me in the right areas…”

Crystal grins but Lisa just stands there looking back at her.

“You aren’t done though. This is only the beginning. If possible you should invite Seleana to come here. It would be good to hear her side of the story. Maybe we can even go further and get you two counseling so you could air everything out. Change is something that doesn’t happen overnight Christina. It takes time… The only reason why any of us have become strong in this room is because we all took our time in trying to get better. This is not something you want to rush. The more you invest into getting better is the more positive results it’s going to have in the long run. Trust any of us. We have been through this entire process. We are definitely here for you and we won’t go anywhere. Now that you are part of our family we will help you in the areas that you need the most. We are family and we got your back…”

Crystal could only take it all in as all of the women in here continued to hug her. They did have a point. Perhaps everything she has ever done has always been for a quick fix. This time she would actually listen to the advice. Slow and steady would get her what she wanted and she wasn’t going to fuck this up. She couldn’t mess it up because that would mean she would damage her marriage, and she was tired of doing that… She loved being part of a group. There was only one thing she needed to do. She had to confront Seleana and finally be able to share how she truly felt…










Long behold… I guess this is finally it. This is what everybody has been waiting for. We are walking into the biggest show of the entire year. It doesn’t get any bigger than that of High Stakes and honestly I am starting to feel a little better about myself. it definitely has been a long six months since I long my World Bombshell Championship. I have definitely have gone through my share of personal shit. Shit that I wish I could rewind the tape and do it all over again.

It has been a year of building myself to being at the very top of the wrestling world at the top of the year only for it to be taken away because my head wasn’t in the game. When I say not in the game it has nothing to do with my actual wrestling ability but it has everything to do with my life outside of it. I know in the past I have always told the world some type of bullshit that it has never affected it. I would put on a façade along with a costume change and a different make up job. I would slap on a new name to make me feel good about myself but it never gave me the peace of mind that I was looking for.

The truth is at the end of the day it was a case of me being the same old, same old, and it’s a mindless and endless cycle. However as I glance at things I can finally be sincere and admit that I am a self-centered, egotistical little bitch. Yes I am a Prima Donna and things should revolve around me. I won’t sit here and try to deny that because that’s who I been and it’s who I ever been.

However I realize I have a problem when I have been showcasing that attitude to everybody around me including my very own wife. It isn’t right and it only took me three years to finally figure that out. Instead of trying to fight against my biggest supporters I should have been embracing them. We should have been celebrating together and that is definitely my fault. I have treated Seleana horribly. That is why I knew I had to walk away because I had to fix this shit so I can be better.

When I look at our relationship I realize that the two of us have a relationship that is similar to that of Hamilton and Eliza. I can’t help but feel that I am the Alexander Hamilton in this wrestling company. I am always ready to take my shot. I am always ready to get my way and in order to clear my own name, ego, and legacy I am willing to tarnish my own marriage to get what I want. It’s sad because I shouldn’t be out there trying to “burn” everything for my own needs and satisfaction. I should be a team player. However Seleana is definitely my Eliza. She’s definitely the woman I don’t deserve. She won’t be quick to listen to what the world wants for our relationship.

Instead she will keep her feelings and what happens in our marriage to herself. If she has an issue she will personally showcase it to me in private because she refuses to let any outsider destroy the sanctity of our marriage. That is definitely a strength I don’t have and I love my wife for it.

However my legacy is EVERYTHING to me and I will do whatever it takes to maintain. So now that I am glaring at this triple threat match for a chance to become the World Bombshell Championship I feel like my legacy is once again being attacked. I feel I am being disrespected and that is something that I definitely have an issue with. Everybody always wishes to talk me down but I am to be respected. I have earned my rightful place in this company. You can talk as much shit as you want like I am the odd woman out, or that I am the weak link but people seem to forget that there was a time where I put this company on my back, and I will damn near always put it on back because I love being here.

After looking over everything I have come to realize that I don’t NEED the belt to be a main stay in this company. I have worked my ass off to gain that status because I am a workhorse and I am always willing to put it all on the line. The same is true especially when it comes to competing at this very event. You can say whatever you wish about my but I am always on this show. Hell this would be the third World Bombshell Championship match that I have competed in at this very event.

People tend to come and go when it comes to SCW. Some people might be a revolving door with how much they go in and out but I am consistent. Since I came here I have made this my main company and I wouldn’t trade that for anything in the world. Even when I wasn’t competing I still was around as a personal assistant to Mark because I loved every aspect of being here.

However despite what I put in people don’t seem to respect what I do?! I don’t need any of your acceptance because I know what I bring to the table and I know how good I am. Roxi ever since they were deciding what to do when it came to this match you have been saying the same thing over and over again. You are putting the blame on you for me being here. Had you been quicker I wouldn’t be in this match right now?! BULL TO THE FUCKING SHIT…

You should know by now that I definitely go down swinging to the very end. I always bring it and despite all of that bullshit you love to spew out of your mouth how I have been sitting on my ass and chasing after different accomplishments. The truth of the matter is I have ALWAYS earned my spot. I am stuck and tired of the notion that I don’t earn anything. I am the woman who earned her first world title opportunity in this very company by pinning Vargas in 2015 who was the number 1 contender for Mikah’s title at the time. Hell because I beat her right before the event I basically inserted and EARNED my way into that High Stakes main event!

Hell I earned another shot after that by winning Blast From The Past, and even after losing that Christian gave me a title shot because he said despite me acting like a total Bitch the truth was I didn’t get my rightful ONE ON ONE SHOT! Need I have to explain how me and Seleana won a strange bedfellows match to get another shot, how I earned my way into the chamber and so on?! Not everybody can have the luxury of leaving a company like YOU did and immediately being handed a world title match in their first match back despite doing anything to get that?!

But hey if the shoe fits wear it or it’s always okay to throw Crystal’s past in her face but God forbid she calls somebody else on their shit. It might get old having to deal with the past. Things might seem be the case of the same old shit but the best thing about the past is that we can learn from our previous mistakes.

So it might get irritating to be in this position but it’s also bullshit that you want to have this wet dream fulfilled of you stepping in the ring with Amber again. Didn’t you get your shit rocked before?! What difference can a year really make?! Back then she wasn’t as good as she is now. She was merely getting her feet wet in this company and she still beat you.

This year she has beaten the entire list of who’s who in this company. She has gone through everybody and she is better than she has ever been, and you think you are really that hero who is going to rise up to stop her?!

No I highly doubt that… I am going to be honest with you. I love you. You are a friend and sometimes a hard dose of the truth hurts but what makes you think you even have what it takes to make it to that championship level anymore?!

You can blame yourself for me being close to the championship but while you are at it you can also blame yourself more than just that because title reign number four came at YOUR EXPENSE SO TAKE THAT HEAT TOO… While you are at it blame your wife as well because she’s responsible for title reign number 5… I Earned that by my own merit. So for you to say that I don’t deserve to be here basically discredits anything YOU have done because YOU are the one that hasn’t been able to beat me in a while. It’s not the other way around nor has it been for quite some time.

Even if I haven’t earned a single thing as people would put it if I get one of those title defenses that the bosses like to give during the midcourse of a cycle and I end up winning, that just means I was hungry for that moment. You need to always be on your game and that is me in a nutshell. I am sick and tired of people not taking me seriously?! I have appeared on six High Stakes. Three of them championship matches, one of them inducted into the Hall of Fame. One of them I won woman of the year and most improved. One of them I was beating the hell up out of a red hot Andrea Hernandez and people wish to have the audacity I don’t deserve to be here?!

Fuck off… I earned my spot here because I am a go getter. I am always going out on all cylinders and I will always continue to do so. You Roxi are good. You are worthy of your spot but don’t try to act like I don’t belong here. I have to applaud you because I know being the hero isn’t an easy thing to do. You have to do everything in your power to worry about the entire world. You have to try to be this symbol to everybody and you do things for the greater good.

Honestly I can’t do that… I haven’t been good at that role. If I tried to be a hero it would be for the intention of wanting to be accepted. It would take a lot of sacrifice on my part and I just can’t do that. Hell I wouldn’t last a week in your shoes and I am being honest. You want to know why and I can be honest. It’s because I am too selfish for any of that.

Why worry about the entire world when I am out for one simple thing out of this wrestling business. I want to be the very best, and I want to be like no one ever was. That’s not to sound like a Bitch or anything but it’s something my wife knows. She knows that I take wrestling very seriously and in the spirit of competition I am willing to pull out every single stop.

That’s why I get so worked when people are quick to write me off like I am not good. That’s why I do walk around with a chip on my shoulder when people don’t even have me as one of the top five best bombshells ever in this company. They want to wish people like Mikah, Delia, Vixen, and sleep in peace Misty. However I take offense is because when they all wish to take their leave out of this company only to return like years later. I am the one that is still going. I am still fighting with everything I have and I will continue to do so until I physically am unable to do.

Wrestling is what I love and I might be all over the place outside of the ring. I might try to find an identity and it gets frustrating having to watch this same movie over and over. However when I step in that ring I have an identity. I have a place and in my eyes its home.

You don’t feel what I feel because your home is just about everywhere else. Your home is being a hero, the place you your warmth is behind a set of drums or constantly showcasing how much of a musical knowledge you have by drumming all types of songs. That is who you are, or maybe giving a shit about wrestling if it involves getting a potential dream match with your wife, or Amber, or whoever.

It honestly sounds like waiting on a pipe dream. It’s like you are part of some boxing commission and you are trying to hold out to get the fight that will eventually pay you.

That’s not my style and it’s crazy because you would think that being the Hollywood type that definitely would be me. It would be all about the flashiness, the star power and etc. I don’t wait on pipe dreams. I am the type that is ready to step into the ring with mandatories. It may come across as boring but I am ALWAYS fighting, and always ready to fight whoever. I don’t give a damn if it’s Seleana in that ring, a close friend, or whoever. I simply just want to fight.

People which include you always feel the need to try to bring me down about changing so much but if you really look at it. I am trying to fine craft what I do for the wrestling world. It’s all about switching it up for the ring. If that gives you more than enough ammo to take shots at me like I am a firing target at a range by all means you can thank me later. I would rather give people something to talk me down instead of acting like the actual wrestling is second nature in all of this.

The acting, the movies, the gamer girl… It don’t mean anything but what I do in this ring… That’s what I live by. Go stick to saving the world, or playing drums. I will focus on my passion of wrestling.

However it’s not just Roxi that is out there in that ring. I also have Amber Ryan to worry about and I know for a fact that Amber Ryan is gunning to take me down once again. She is ready to spill blood and she is willing to do whatever is needed to defend a title.

Good… That’s the type of energy I want you to bring. I want all of that smoke and I damn sure want you at your best because when I beat you and Roxi in the ring. I don’t want there to be any excuse on why you lost to me. Am I feeling confident right now?!

Damn right I am… Amber Ryan before you even came to SCW I always had my eye on you. I remember when you were in Carnage and you held their World Championship. I knew for a fact that you definitely a tough bitch. You were among the best of the best in the world. I wanted you to come to this company. While many were eager because they wanted to see you step into the ring to finally face Roxi Johnson, and I will admit I definitely did my share of egging that on.

It had nothing to do with you facing Roxi. To be honest I didn’t really care about any of that. I know I poked fun at Roxi and I basically was putting you over to be this huge fucking threat and it got her a little miffed because she’s my friend. Truth be told the only reason why I wanted you to come to SCW was because I wanted to face you myself. I wanted to be in the ring with the best of the best. You don’t get anywhere by fighting the same old competition because if you do that your skills won’t improve.

Instead you need to challenge people who are better than you because that’s how your own reputation gets better. The moment you finally signed with SCW I knew it would only be a matter of time before we would have our exchange in the ring.

I honestly never thought it would come at the expense of you beating me down after I won my fifth World Championship. If you wanted a title match all you really had to do was ask me and I would have been quick to give you a shot. Hell that was the plan all along. I was going to call you out anyway because I knew that you deserved a title opportunity.

That has always been who I am. When I beat Roxi for my fourth title I immediately called out Andrea because she had just beaten me on the Super Card prior. I know she felt upset when I beat Roxi but you can count on me to make it right because that’s the type of champion I am and the one I have always been.

Have I won the title on five different occasions?! You damn right I have, and quite often my reigns don’t really last long. You have some people like Alicia Lukas who will gloat over the fact that they have SET RECORDS and accomplish so much but then again when you try to stat pad your reign by trying to call out people who haven’t won matches in a while and try to put on a fake façade saying that they were tough defenses it comes across as bullshit to me.

That’s not my style, and if I win something and truly want to cement myself as the best that’s when I wish to fight the Mikahs, the Evie Jordan’s, the Amber Ryan. That is the level of competition that I wish to fight as a champion. If I can’t make it past them then that means I didn’t deserve that reign in the face place. At least I knew I went out on my sword against the best the company had and I have no issue with that.

Hell five title reigns and I lost to Melody Grace, Evie Jordan, Mikah, Andrea Hernandez, and you… I would say I definitely did my job as champion despite what people might think. Amber Ryan I respect the shit out of you and I know you are perhaps the biggest threat to the division but I also know that the last time we fought I wasn’t focused like I should have been. I know my mind was on trying to play mind games and in the end that was my own undoing.

That’s on me and I accept that but now in this encounter the roles have definitely been reversed. You are the prey and I am the hunter. Roxi wants to make this simply about the two of you, in your head you rather wish this was between the both of you. So that tells me that you are already writing me off like I don’t belong here. When I hear stuff like that it fuels me just to prove you both wrong. I will be the biggest threat to your title and this match because I know how much this means to be. Last time I had my eyes on what happened with my daughter, and it caused issues between Seleana and her friends.

How could I let my immune compromised daughter be at ringside?!

How could I do this or how could I do that?!

People kept hammering me with question after question. It was followed up by the Free Seleana tweets among other things. I was all over the place, but this time I actually stepped away from my wife and my child. My focused is on one thing.

That being to step in this match and to showcase what I have already done on five different occasions. I am out here to prove why I am the best bombshell in this company and why I should never be overlooked. You have all of the talent in the world Amber but when that bell rings you will know how dangerous I truly am. Through hell or high water I will be respected and you will know that Crystal Zdunich is definitely the woman to beat in this company.

Win, lose, or draw I know for a fact that three of us will go to war in that ring. When that bell rings the world will be treated to a main event the definitely will not be able to forget. A lot is on the line here but seeing as I have come this far I might as well take the most of this opportunity and win.

Whatever happens I am happy to be in this spot. I have earned this place and after High Stakes it will be about working things out with Seleana going into the new year.

It’s show time ladies. Let’s put on a match that nobody will ever forget…

Consider this your curtain call… Take a bow. It’s time to roll the credits on this once and for all, and to finally showcase to you both and the entire world why I am the best of the best. Nothing will ever stop this rose from blossoming… 






   





 

October 8th
4:00 PM PDT
Las Vegas, Nevada

Crystal Zdunich had finally arrived at her destination of Las Vegas, Nevada. The blue haired vixen’s makeup ran down her face as it was apparent that she has been crying for the entire trip from Los Angeles to Las Vegas. Crystal tried her best to regain her composure as she stepped out of her vehicle. She popped her trunk open grabbing her huge suitcase as she headed towards one bedroom apartment. She finally reached a door. There was some hesitation but after a few moments she decides to knock on the door. A few minutes go by and that is when the door swings open. Standing in the doorway is Zoey Madigan, one of Crystal’s best friends and former stable mates. The two just look at one anotherbefore Crystal breaks out into hysterical sobbing. Zoey quickly grabs Crystal embracing her into a tight hug as she begins to rub her back passionately.

“Everything is going to be okay Christina. Don’t worry about anything. I am here for you and know I will always give you an ear. If you need to let it out you don’t have to be shy. Just let it go and don’t hold it all in…”

Crystal keeps her eyes locked on Zoey as she lets more tears escape her eyes.

“I feel like this is the hardest thing I ever had to do Zoey. I can’t believe I walked out on Seleana like that. She is everything to me and I walked out on her, Alexandra, Aurora, and especially my granddaughter Isabella. I hope I didn’t make the wrong decision. We have only been separated for ten hours and I feellike my world is falling apart…”

Zoey nods her head as she looks deeply into the eyes of Crystal.

“I know it hurts but if you felt that giving yourself some space was the right thing to do then you shouldn’t even question it. I know for a fact that you love her. I was able to be in your wedding as a Bridesmaid so I know how much she means to you. Whatever is going on this is your choice and it’s YOUR relationship. You shouldn’t let others dictate what happens in your household or even in your marriage…”

Crystal wipes her eyes as she nods her head in return.

“I know Zoey but it just sucks that I am not allowed to make mistakes. Whenever I do make mistakes people are so quick to shove it down my throat that Seleana needs to be freed. It’s like they feel I am this kidnapper and I won’t let her go no matter what. It’s not like we are building a toxic relationship like I am the Joker and she’s Harley Quinn. I would never do that to her. In my eyes I am Poison Ivy and she’s my Harley. It’s supposed to be a fun filled relationship. Not one that’s completely one sided…”

Crystal shakes her head as she continues to share her heart.

“But when my family constantly treats Seleana badly I just can’t sit there and let her go through with it. It’s also unfair for people to assume she suffers from Stockholm syndrome so that’s why I had to walk away. I want to realign things and make everything right. Hopefully this short time away from her will help me work on the issues that are preventing me from being the wife that I was meant to be…”

Zoey just shrugs her shoulders as she forms a serious expression on her face.

“Either way whatever you do is the best decision for you. One thing I will say is you shouldn’t let outsiders dictate on what happens within the covenant of your marriage. I have noticed the bullying that people tend to do when it comes to you. Truthfully they are in no position to judge what you do when they don’t have the best choice of character themselves. I would just write it all off as being white noise. If you feel that what you are doing is going to help your cause in the long run than that’s all that matters. Don’t go through this to appease the trolls on the internet or your naysayers because you will never win that battle. Do it for yourself and simply because you know it’s the best decision…”

Crystal looks around as she slowly nods her head.

“That is definitely a good point and it is something that I will do. To be honest I think my biggest issue is that I sometimes feel like an abuser. Not in the way that I mentioned earlier but in the way where I feel that the entire relationship should revolve around me.  I have taken advantage of her and I don’t want that to be the narrative anymore. My pride is really getting the best of me but I was thinking of maybe finding a place where I could get some counseling and working on my issues…I just hope that whatever problems I finally put to rest that Seleana is still waiting for me. Me leaving wasn’t a way of me showcasing a goodbye but it was simply a way for me to see that when I come back things will be better…”

Zoey finally smiles.

“And they will be better because you are putting your mind on it. As long as you keep your eyes locked on what you wish to do there isn’t anything in this world that can stop you from taking flight and soaring above everybody else. After all you are an Angel and it’s only right that you spread your wings and fly high…”

Crystal seems uneasy shrugging her shoulders.

“I honestly don’t feel like an angel. I feel like my wings have been clipped and I am incapable of flying anywhere…”

Zoey laughs as she looks back at her friend.

“Once you become an angel you are always an angel. Besides if Farrah can be an angel I think anybody can definitely be one. On top of that we are not only friends but we are family. When you feel like you can’t fly we will be there to help you get back on your feet and to take flight. That’s what being a boardwalk angel is about. Anyway…”

Zoey looks around at the apartment before looking back at Crystal and hands her a key.

“Consider this place your home… I know you needed a place where you could get away and this apartment definitely seems like it will suit your needs. I know it’s only a one bedroom and that might not be the best accommodations for THE Crystal Zdunich but I trust it will serve all of your needs while you are in Vegas like it did for me. It is a comfortable little spot and you will love it…”

Crystal nods her head as she smirks in return.

“Honestly none of that superficial stuff even matters at this point. This place is amazing and simply because it came from a close friend who is looking out for another friend. It came from your heart and that means more to me than anything else. I will cherish this place and I appreciate your hospitality. Being in Vegas is definitely my home nowadays. One day I will have to show you the casino that I work at down the street. Maybe I could bring you in for a special meet and greet or something else..”

Zoey hugs Crystal as she looks down into her eyes.

“You don’t have to think me for anything. Like I told you once before you are family to me and family certainly needs to look out for other family. Just make sure you promise to take good care of yourself. If you have any issues or are going through anything don’t hesitate to call me. I am sure Farrah wouldn’t mind a phone call either…”
o
Crystal grins loving what her friend just said to her. She takes a long deep breath as she replies back to her.

“Yeah… I know you girls got my back. Hopefully one day Stacy Marie Jones and I could get to that level. I know that she is probably upset over the way that I constantly treat Seleana and…”

Zoey cuts her off before shaking her head in return.

“Don’t worry about any of that. You just need to take baby steps and don’t try to force anything. The most important thing that you need to work on right now is yourself. Get right for you and become the best Christina Zdunich that you could become…”

Crystal slowly nods her head in return offering a smile.

“I will Zoey. You don’t have to worry about me at all. I will get my head on straight and once I do nobody will be able to tell me anything. Thank you for being in my life and truthfully I have some of the best friends in the world.”

Zoey smiles warm heartedly. The two of them look at one another before doing a very special Angel handshake. Both women are smiling at one another as Zoey starts to back away.

“Anyway I think I will be heading out. It will give you a chance to settle in. Don’t let things get to you Crystal. I know everything is going to work out in the end. If you need anything at all please don’t hesitate to give me a call. You know I have your back…”

“Thank you Zoey. I honestly don’t know how I was blessed to have such an amazing friend as you…”

With that Zoey begins to back away before she heads towards the apartment door. She takes her leave and doing so has left Crystal all alone in the apartment. Crystal walks over to the sofa and she immediately plops down on it. Her eyes move towards Zoey’s coffee table and she spots a picture from her wedding day. It’s a picture of Crystal in a wedding dress with Zoey and Farrah beside her in Bridesmaids dresses along with Stacy Marie Jones and they all are posing for a special Angels picture. Crystal let’s tears roll down her cheek as one word came to her mind.

“Seleana…”

Her mind once again was locked thinking about her estranged wife as she sighs in return. More tears rolled down her face as she reached for her cellphone. She started dialing a familiar number and it wasn’t long before Seleana’s contact information popped up on the screen. She moved her hand going back and forth between the call and message button. She finally selected message as she began to type.

“Hey Seleana… I am so sorry for everything and…”

She immediately erased it as she decided to type something else.

“I miss you so much and…”

Once again she erased the message. It was in that moment that Crystal decided to close the phone. She knew that this situation had hurt. It hurt her in ways she couldn’t even imagine. She never envisioned walking out on her daughter, her wife, her girlfriend, or even her granddaughter. She knew that no matter how things had hurt she couldn’t go right back. She had to work on her issues. She had to make her family stronger than ever and she couldn’t return until all of her issues had been dealt with. It would be the beginning of a long separation but at the end of the day it was all for the best. Crystal would fight for her loved ones and she was hell bent on becoming a better person for her family. After what she had put Seleana through for the past three years Crystal had vowed that she would finally make things right. This wasn’t about redemption that she constantly always wanted people to accept her for. She would become the best wife she possibly could. Her only hope was that Seleana would wait for her no matter how long it took…”

With that Crystal kicks her feet up as she knows she had a lot to take in. The tears finally stopped as she closed her eyes offering a small smile as she envisioned what it would be like to finally deal with the issues that prevented her from being an amazing wife.
 

 



















Wow…

Where do I even begin?! It’s been a long hard fought journey but finally after everything it seems I am finally right back where I rightfully belong. I am smack dab in the main event of yet another Climax Control and on top of that it won’t be long until I will be walking into the biggest show of the year of High Stakes and competing in the World’s Most Famous Arena at Madison Square Garden. If I didn’t know any better I would say that it took a lot to make it here. As a matter of fact it has taken way too long and in two weeks you all will know how I really feel when it comes to Amber Ryan. Everybody will know what is going through my mind and why EXACTLY I will be walking away as the World Bombshell Champion.

However it seems that this edition of Climax Control is the final stop before we get to that point and the wrestling world will be treated to a high caliber main event when Jack Washington and myself step into the ring of Alex Jones and Amber Ryan.

Damn… It definitely has been a real long time hasn’t it?! I will be completely blunt with all of you because I have nothing to hide. For those who may not know this year has been absolutely awful for me. I had to make the hardest decision of my life. I had to walk away from my wonderful wife of Seleana. It’s definitely not her fault by any means and I know she will question if she did something wrong to warrant such an action. However I can sit here and tell everyone the cold hearted truth that it is definitely all on me. We got married on July 13th of 2018 and maybe I wasn’t in the right state of mind because I had just lost my World Bombshell Championship to Mikah a month prior to that.

I was supposed to be celebrating the day of my life and yes I might have put on a façade and said the word’s “I Do” at the altar, but the reality was my mind was still on that of my World Championship. I had fought Mikah over and over again that year. I did everything in my power to get MY title back but I never did. It was during that time period that my wife was really developing into a singles star. Hell she had defended me against Christian Underwood decking him right in the mouth and I never really appreciated that.

Simply because my mind was solely on one thing and that was being the Champion… I wanted it at all costs. One day my wife got a championship opportunity and she had won the title from Alicia Lukas. It would have been amazing had it not been for the fact that I had to get involved. I had to strike Alicia because I felt she didn’t respect me. I guess that’s what having a lack of self-confidence will do for you. Not only did I ruin the legacy of such a prestigious championship but I really dealt a hurting blow to my wife because she held something she didn’t even earn. Most people would have been happy but she didn’t even take the title out of the bag. She didn’t look at it because I tarnished that moment.

I had broken her heart before that because after standing up to Christian like she did in my honor I turned around and beat her down, and for what?! Just so I could get a title opportunity.

It really is a sad thing when I think about it. Since that day I have held the World Championship on two different occasions and just like that I have quickly lost the championship well before the reign even began. I have spent all of this time trying to find a way to redeem myself. I have done everything to FORCE it on everyone. I wanted to be accepted overnight and that’s not how the world works. Things take time. People would always talk me down and it got me worked on and so angry.

Now I know what you are thinking Amber, and you are probably questioning what all of this has to do with you?! After all it probably seems like I am just speaking a bunch of bullshit and it shouldn’t concern you at least in your opinion. However it actually all does because after glancing at everything I have come to the conclusion that all of what I have done has been absolutely ridiculous. I have been a fucking train wreck and I am not going to sit here and deny any of it.

I have been trying so hard to fix the quick issue of trying to be accepted, and trying to stop people from saying the words #FreeSeleana over and over again. However after taking a breath and really glancing at things I found out what my main issue is. The truth is I am an abuser. All I do is hurt Seleana and if it’s not me dealing the fatal blow it’s a member of my family which could include a sister or even that of my daughter.

It’s time to break that cycle once and for all. That is why I had to walk away from the thing I love the most. It’s so I can become a better person and become a better wife. If I solve that issue it will solve every other issue and that is something I know for a fact.

However this entire saga between us came to a start when you decided to take things into your own hand and you beat me down at that first Super Card of the year. I had just won the title and you struck me down but before that you decided to take advantage of my wife.

What I SHOULD have been doing what was doing everything in my power to tell you to go Fuck yourself because nobody should take advantage of my wife like you did especially considering she is one of the sweetest people in this company. You had to go too far and then you lay me out because you wanted a Championship?!

Fuck off with that bullshit… However I didn’t see it as you attacking my life like I should have… No instead I was just happy with the status of being champion. I was happy to put on a show for the crowd and make stupid decisions just to show off in only a way that Crystal Zdunich could.

It became about wearing the expensive one piece suits, the extravagant heels, and even bringing my immune compromised child to ringside and you ate all of that shit up. You took me for a ride and got under my skin. In my eyes I was supposed to be the good person but I was becoming the villain. I was attacking you backstage, destroying your motorcycle and trying to do things to take you off your game.

However you were focused on the task at hand and apparently I wasn’t because when push came to shove you beat me. I never once took responsibility for any of my actions because I was focused on just the status of being the champion. That is why when our match happened that what went around definitely came back around and I cannot fault Synn for what he did to me. I am still holding onto that because it definitely was a distraction that I should have been more than ready for.

If I wasn’t the abusive wife that I ended up becoming none of that would have happened because I wouldn’t have gone as far as I have to do all of this extra stuff. Now that she and I are separated I have time to focus on different areas of my life. One of them being on a better person, and another thing being that of having my eyes locked on you.

Let it be known the last time we fought it was about the status but now it will be about being the fucking champion and when gold is on the line you should know that I am a very dangerous woman. I will wrestle my heart out to get what I want and I will get through you.

Now that I can look at things from a different perspective I can say that I personally don’t like you attacking my wife verbally. How dare you try to call out my wife and tell her that her name doesn’t mean anything anymore?!

It still means a lot. It’s still a serious name and it wasn’t that long ago when she was a big threat to whoever stepped in the ring with her. However you want to tarnish her name like it doesn’t mean anything?! Go fuck yourself. I am not going to act like what you say doesn’t affect me because it damn sure does. She is my wife, she is an individual yes but we both are reflections of each other. The day we got married is the day that the two of us became one.   

So everything single thing you basically said about her being washed up honestly comes back at me because it’s like you are saying the same very thing to me and I am not going to take those comments likely. Maybe at one point they got to me but I know for a fact who I am, and I know who my wife is. The only reason why she hasn’t been up to par is because she had to deal with the train wreck that is her wife.

If the roles were reversed and I was in her shoes who had to be responsible for our household, who had to do all of the motherly duties, and had to basically tell my family to calm down when she does something stupid like I do on an everyday basis yes I would be in a slump as well.

It’s emotionally draining and that’s the only reason why she isn’t where she needs to be. That’s not her fault but it’s all on me. Of course she is good who do you think trained her how to do this wrestling thing?! Who do you think spent all of that time in the gym and taught her how to wrestle? Yes that was me and it’s a slap in the face when everybody tries to shove it in my face that I am a terrible wrestler and she’s better.

I taught HER how to do this don’t you understand how asinine any of that sounds?!

Anyway you can’t stand there on a high horse and try to bury my life asking questions if she is truly great or if she is like the Jessie Salco’s and Bea Barnharts of the company. Just even saying that sounds stupid when those are the type of women that have been placed in front of you for title defenses or title eliminators. That is the type of competition you have been facing to pad your win lost record and it’s bullshit. How about facing a Ruby Steele who has only been doing this less than six months. Somehow finds her way into a title match against you and can’t even cut a promo on you?!

Yeah… That sounds like a joke…

Yes you beat Myra Rivers and that was a great match and I will even say a rivalry. Let’s be honest was it really fair that she was given back to back title matches simply because she asked for it?! Maybe it’s because she was an Internet Champion and after losing her title she deserved some type of rematch even if it came at the hand of a World title match.

It’s a bunch of crap… Although I am glad you beat Myra because after you had dropped the ball against her twice it’s about time you finally got over that hurdle.

I am going to call a spade a spade though. I lost the championship to you and didn’t get anything. I was forced to go to the back burner for far too long. I wasn’t even booked at the following Super Card after that. I have just been dwelling around trying to figure out where I belong.

I know where I belong and in this tag team match you will see that I have been waited seven long months to get noticed. I don’t care if Alex wishes to claim that we are friends or if he dislikes me because the rest of his Wolfslair buddies dislike me. I don’t care if Jack Washington doesn’t give a damn that he is teaming up with me. Hell I don’t even care if Roxi has a front row seat to the action.

What I do care about is finally getting my hands on you. Win or losing this is irrelevant. What really matters is what happens in two weeks and that’s when the verbal handcuffs officially come off. As for now let’s beat the hell out of one another and you might very well get the win this week. It may give you the win to this battle but no matter what in two weeks I will win the war and that’s when it all really counts.

Now will stop this burning rose from setting the world ablaze and being what she was meant to be. The best bombshell in the company, and trust me I can back that claim up.

Bring it on and see you very soon… Prepare to get outwrestled because I damn sure will bring it and you will respect me one way or the other…
 

Local Training Facility
Las Vegas, Nevada

Brayden couldn’t help but smirked as he watched his wife Sofia wrestle a local competitor from the Las Vegas area. Sofia seemed to be holding her own without any issue and Brayden just smiled as his wife was doing everything she could to keep the upper hand. Brayden paced around the outside of the ring while holding their newborn daughter Isabella in his arms. The little girl cracked a grin as Brayden smiled in return.

“Look Bella that’s mommy in there and she really seems to be doing good if I say so myself. Don’t you agree pumpkin?!”

The newborn just smiled in return as Sofia continued wrestling the other female. Brayden nodded his head as he started to scream out at the top of his lungs.

“Okay babe now you need to finish this, just do the stuff I taught you and it should definitely be enough to put that stupid bitch away!”

Brayden looks down at his daughter before shrugging his shoulders at her.

“Sorry pumpkin… Daddy didn’t mean to say a bad word and I promise it won’t happen again!”

Inside the ring however that is when Sofia manages to continue beating on the woman. Brayden walks closer to the ring as he yells something at the individual who is acting as the referee for the match. It is at that moment that Sofia quickly punches the other woman right in the $%^&% which causes the woman to scream in pain. Sofia cracks a wicked grin as she lifts her opponent high up into the air. Without hesitation she viciously drops the local competitor right onto their head with a butterfly brainbuster. The local competitor is laid out on the floor as Sofia pins them and gets an easy count. As soon as it’s over Sofia slides out of the ring as she runs over to where Brayden is standing. She smirks looking at her daughter before gazing into his eyes.

“So how did I look?!”

Brayden nods his head with a wicked grin.

“You looked absolutely amazing. You truly were beautiful out there. Honestly I think you are ready to finally stand by my side and be my manager…”

Sofia opens her eyes in amazement as she keeps her eyes fixed on her husband.

“Do you really mean that?!”

Brayden licks his lips with a grin.

“Of course I do. Now I know you have been doing some training with your cousins the Carbajals and honestly it’s a big fucking deal to be trained under Bullet. That strong Columbian pride is definitely in your blood and I respect the ever living shit out of it. I know all of those girls want to look out for their little cousin and teach you the basic fundamentals of what you need to do. However at the end of the day I don’t give a flying fuck on being fundamentally sound. You should know the deal by now and what I represent as soon as I come to the ring. I am a third generation talent. I am the son of Crystal fucking Hilton and that alone makes me just about better than anybody else on the planet. I think the only thing better than being a Hilton is fucking one and considering I made sure to put a ring on it and you get that pleasure every night. You definitely are in for quite the ride. Doing what your cousins will show you will get you to places but if you sprinkle on what I can teach you. You will win championships. We will be a power couple and nobody will stop us…”

Sofia smirks as she wraps her arms tightly around her husband.

“And what would you have me do?!”

Brayden snickers.

“Do whatever it takes to make sure I win, and if for some reason you do find yourself in a wrestling ring. The same rules apply. Win by any means necessary. It’s only cheating if you get caught. Those who follow the rules don’t get far in the world. If there’s a shortcut you damn sure better take it. As long as we get ahead that’s all that matters. It’s all that ever mattered…”

Sofia smiles before turning her attention to Isabella with a giggle.

“You hear that Bella?! Mommy is going to be working with daddy and we might as well bring you on the road with us. It’s going to be so amazing. We will be able to take that happy family on the road and it doesn’t get better than that…”

Sofia kisses her baby before her eyes move to that of her husband. She shrugs her shoulders as she looks deep into his eyes.

“So are you absolutely sure you want me by your side professionally?! You think I am ready for that. I just don’t want my inexperience to really cost you anything…”

Brayden just shakes his head as he looks right into his wife’s eyes.

“Of course I think you are ready, and even if you weren’t I would rather have you on my side then that of that conniving sister of mine. I don’t know how she could openly betray my mother in that wrestling company. Granted I don’t have the best relationship with mom but she is still my mother no less. On top of that she puts her hands on my stepmother and for what purpose exactly?! To stroke a Fucking ego like a spoiled brat feeling that she is entitled to simply have the world handed to her. I am honestly happy that mom decided to put me up for adoption because if I came out like her I wouldn’t know what to do with myself…”

Sofia just shrugs her shoulders with a sigh.

“It really is a messy situation and because of what happened your mother has decided to separate from Seleana… It pisses me off. We are supposed to be a happy family and I didn’t ask for Isabella to be brought into a world where her paternal family is acting like they don’t have any sense. She won’t get ANY of that nonsense from my side of the family because they know family is family to the end. However everyone on your side seems to be out for themselves and its wrong…”

Brayden kisses his wife as he shakes his head in return.

“Babe I know… My father is practically a womanizer, my mother has always been all over the place, momma Seleana often appears like she suffers from Stockholm syndrome at times, and they all come across as weak. However everybody has shortcomings and its fine. At the end of the day Isabella has me. I am her father and I am going to be the one she is constantly around. As long as you and I are there for her that’s all that really matters. I know people might question the both of us but even though I have my father and mother’s blood running within me. I am not defined by what they do or their past. I am NOT a womanizer as my eyes are ONLY on you babe, and I damn sure don’t give a flying fuck on what the world thinks about me. My mom’s biggest weakness has always been worrying too much on what others think of her and not on those who value her more than those people…

However she cannot accept that and she constantly has to change herself in order to receive a type of acceptance that she will never accept. That’s on her though and I really do pray that this time away from everything will make her see what’s important and what she should focus on. She may seem rough around the edges but that’s my mother and I love her…”

Sofia’s eyes open up in return as she shakes her head in return.

“Do you really think this time away from everything will help her out?! Do you think separating from Seleana and Alexandra was the right decision?! What if she spends all this time away from her closest loved ones and they all come to the conclusion that they are much better without her?!”

Brayden thinks about it as he looks back at his wife and just shrugs his shoulders.

“What I think doesn’t really matter and we shouldn’t buy into her guilt trips either. At the end of the day this is something my mother needs to figure out and it is something she needs to do.  She has constantly been hounded by all of this #FreeSeleana stuff that she is actually giving into it all. Its bullshit and she should have never just gone down that road to begin with. If it was me I would have kept living my life and not given two fucks about what anybody thinks. However my mom always has this need to be the center of attention so it’s on her. No matter what happens though she will always be my mom and I will always respect her. The same thing goes for my father as well he will have that respect even if he wasn’t in my life. Right now what I am concerned with is being there for you and Isabella first and foremost. You are my priority. You are my livelihood and I would damn near take a bullet for my family…”

Sofia smiles as she keeps her eyes on her husband.

“Thank God because I don’t know what I would do if you came across like the rest of your family…”

Brayden smirks.

“I figured as much. I doubt it would be all that pretty. The only thing you do need to understand however is the fact that as long as we have each other nothing can stop us. We will overcome whatever comes our way. Things might be vastly fucked up in the family but it’s up to us to keep things in check. One thing I do know however is I also have to be there for Aurora. If my twin sister Brittany wants to act like a fucking tool that’s on her but I have to show Aurora what it means to be a sibling. What it means to be there for somebody in their biggest time of need. Hell I might even reach out to Haylie Jo just to make sure the sister in law is all good. I have to keep the peace…”

“I know babe… Just do what you need to do and I will be right by your side for all of it… Also remember to watch your mouth. You promised you wouldn’t curse that much in front of the baby and you constantly let the bad words come out…”

Brayden nods his head as he looks down at his baby before he slowly gazes back at his wife. She did have a point. He really needed to watch himself.








On Camera


Brayden is all smiles as he claps his hands together with a wicked grin on his lips.

“Finally it seems like I am actually getting some fucking respect around here. On Climax Control I get the opportunity I have been waiting for. I get the chance to fight for the very right to go to High Stakes and compete for some championship gold. The only thing I have to say is it’s about fucking time something came my way. this is the respect I rightfully deserved and it would be a God Damn Tragedy if I didn’t get a chance to write my name in the history books and fight for what belongs to me…

I have to go against a man who wishes to preach the good word, a man who comes from a family of Shepards. Anyway time to go out there and do what I do fucking best. Time to showcase why I am Academic, Athletic, and An Achiever… See you soon David and make sure you bring it. I’ll be waiting”

San Diego, California
Jet City South

The wrestling school used to be filled with an endless amount of students. It definitely was a place that was thriving and built the next legacy of wrestlers however with the disappearance of Kris Ryans along with Mikah’s thought of running off to Hawaii the school was definitely a ghost town. Ruby walked through the hallways of the school as she shook her head in disgust. A long deep breath escaped her lips as she walked throughout the school. She walked towards Kris Ryans office and let some tears roll down her cheek as she sees pictures of herself training with Mikah, and other photos of her and Courtney working together. She shook her in disgust as tears fell down her cheek. She sniffles and it isn’t long before footsteps could be heard coming from behind her. A brunette walks over and places a hand on her shoulder as she looks at the photos with her.

“I had a feeling you would be here. It’s okay to let it all out Prue. There is nothing wrong with you letting it all go…It would be best if you didn’t hold out it and you expressed yourself”
   
The figure behind her was her half-sister Phoebe Wentworth better known to us as Sapphire Gem Stone. The lead guitarist from the Gem Stones made sure to wrap her arms tightly around her sister into a hug as Ruby just leaned into the shoulder of her older sister and cries more.

“I honestly can’t believe this place would turn out to be like this. Where did Kris go, and why did he disappear. Who would have thought that his disappearance would lead to almost all of the students leaving and abandoning this place?! At one point this place was thriving. Everybody wanted to be here to train under some great legends and I feel that everything attached to that legacy is now gone…Like this is the place where I met Courtney and you know how I feel about her! Many amazing memories were built in this place, and just like that it’s all gone… I don’t know even know where to go from here…”

Ruby begins to cry some more as she Sapphire holds her tightly.

“Sis… You shouldn’t feel like that. You can go wherever you wish to go. There is so much for you to accomplish and…”

Ruby begins to yell out passionately as she continues to pour her heart out some more.

“No… I know for a fact that all of this is my fault. If I would have beaten Amber Ryan when I had the chance I know this school would have been thriving. Nobody would have wanted to leave and we wouldn’t be in this situation. Perhaps Kris wouldn’t have disappeared and we wouldn’t be feeling this way… I somehow think this was my fault. If I would have poured more into my wrestling ability things definitely would have been so much different…”

“Sis this isn’t your fault. You can’t take the blame for why Kris left. I am sure he has his own reasons. To be fair once he lost the World Championship he just seem to check out and if you want to be even more specific you could sort of tell that he just wasn’t into things when he was Mixed Tag Team Champion. Regardless on his reasons for dealing with his issues I know you can’t expect to take the blame for any of it. You are amazing and shouldn’t sell yourself short. You have only been doing this for less than a year and already you are near the top of your game. You won a tournament you gained a bit of fame and are developing into a great wrestler. You can’t expect to be an overnight sensation and I doubt anybody would want you to become one either. You need to take your time and really perfect your craft. Once you work out the bugs I know for a fact that nothing could stop you…”

Ruby raises her eyes in return.

“Do you really mean that?!”

“Of course I do… I am your older sister. Do you think I would ever tell you something that isn’t true… If you keep blaming yourself for things it really won’t do you any good. I know you want to take on the blame for what happened to Courtney but she made the decision to go down to the ring to say goodbye to Alicia. Anybody could have seen what Alicia Lukas was going to do. It didn’t take a scientist to figure out what was going to happen. That’s not on you though sis. Courtney is the only one to blame for that…”

Ruby quickly fires back.

“Well you have to also blame Alicia as well because she is the one that did that to her…”

“Of course but don’t try to wear all of this on your sleeve because it’s not your fault. Courtney will get better but we need to focus on what you are going to do because none of this looks good…”

Ruby shakes her head as she looks around.

“It just really seems as if the world is crumbling by the very seams. It’s not just Courtney either. Things are absolutely terrible with the school here, and who knows what will eventually happen with the Gem Stones. It just seems like a few years ago that we all made our debut in wrestling being right in the background for the ridiculousness of Kate and Teddy. I didn’t think he would really be dumb enough to cheat on her. I don’t know if Kate can even recover from that and I don’t know what this means for our band. Like what’s the point for us even being in San Diego anymore?! It’s not like anyone frequents this gym. We came here to be at this school and that’s gone…. So what’s next?!”

Sapphire just shrugs her shoulders looking deep into her sister’s eyes.

“You especially should know I really don’t care for your cousin, but what I will say is that nobody deserves to have somebody cheat on them. I can’t explain why Teddy would cheat on Kate. Maybe he’s just an idiot but we already knew that from the way he always conducted himself. I wouldn’t feel all that bad for Kath-Lyn though. She is a survivor. She will find a way and she will emerge stronger because of it. Despite the relationship the two of us might have the fact is we are all one big family and we have each other’s back. We will be there for her. Right now I am sure she is just going about getting some space and trying to figure out the situation. If a man cheated on me I honestly wouldn’t know what to do with myself. However she isn’t what we should focus on. You can’t take on everybody’s problems Prue. You can only worry about you….”

Ruby shakes her head just shrugging her shoulders.

“I know but…”

“But nothing… None of this is your fault. You can only control your actions. You might think things are rough but you are so much further from being the failure that you see yourself as. Your father was your biggest critic but after seeing how much you poured into wrestling and conquering your dream of being a musician he has become nothing but supportive. All of the girls in the band have your back. Don’t assume we came to San Diego just to follow after Kate’s lead. We all came here because you wanted to enroll in the school and you absolutely killed it being here.”

Sapphire looks around just shrugging her shoulders in return.

“I will admit this place might be a ghost town but you can’t question on why you are even in San Diego. I think you know the answer to that question. Things might seem be falling apart but maybe this is your chance to step up and make something of the school.”

“Make something of the school?! What exactly are you talking about…”

Sapphire nods her head as she looks around.

“What I mean is perhaps you should stop looking at things from a negative perspective. Yes everybody did leave this school and that’s a bunch of bollocks. However in a positive light what if you worked hard on being the reason why this place gains new life again, what if you poured everything into reviving what was once great. You were the last student standing and this is your chance to pour everything into the school to make it lively again… I know it sounds absolutely….”

Ruby stares at her sister blankly as a wicked grin escapes her lips.

“You are going to make me say it aren’t you?! But if that’s what you really want, of course that would be OUTRAGEOUS!!!! But maybe that is a good idea. The Gem Stones Wrestling School!!!! GSWG could definitely be a new venture and it would be good…”

“Damn right it would be and all of us are unique in our way. Diamond is the submission expert, you are the All Around wrestler, I am the High Flyer, and Emerald is the Technician. Together we could somehow make it work…”

“OUTRAGEOUS!!!!”

Sapphire giggles.

“It’s about time you started to get excited again. Also that’s not it. We can also continue to work on our music when you actually get to write new material. On top of that I think we all know the real reason why we are in San Diego… She might be trying to recover but I know there is a certain girl that you are absolutely in love with. You can’t really run away from your soul mate can you?!”

Ruby blushes as she looks right back at Sapphire.

“I guess not…. Stop talking about my Courtney you are going to make me blush. Anyway I guess reviving this school is going to be our first order of business maybe we can paint in pretty colours and make it so so…”

Sapphire sighs.

“Don’t push your luck on that… Let’s just take things one step at a time. For now let’s just focus on making sure you are ready. I know you got a big match ahead of you, and we might as well train you so you can stand toe to toe with Alicia Lukas. You ready to take things up a notch?!”

“As ready as I am going to be…”

“Good because I am your sparring partner for today and I won’t go easy on you sis…”

Ruby just stands there with a smirk as she looks back at her. She knew a battle was ahead of her to motivate the band, revive the school, and be there for Courtney but Ruby definitely was ready for all of it. Ruby keeps her eyes locked on Sapphire and it’s on that image that we fade out on.














On Camera

The camera comes into focus and as they do we are treated to the sight of a serious Ruby Steele. The only thing we can see is her face as she sits in a dark room. She turns on her light up jacket and the light illuminates in the darkness. She leans right into the camera as she begins to speak.

“Bloody fucking hell… Alicia Lukas I just want to say I can’t help but feel sorry for you. You truly are nothing but a spoiled, stuck up, and arrogant little Bitch. I know it would be foolish to stand here in front of a camera and state how I plan to beat you in the middle of the ring and pick up a major win. In the eyes of so many that would be an upset and it definitely would shock the entire world.

On any other day it would be about doing the unthinkable. It would be about showcasing why I was the Blast From The Past Champion and how there is still so much potential within me. Perhaps people are waiting for me to shatter my own limits and break barrier like I am some anime character who wishes to change their hair colour to a golden blonde to showcase that they got stronger but as I really sit down and think about what this match represents I have come to the conclusion that this match isn’t about winning.

Anybody could go about winning a match and being all super excited over that fact. I know a win over you would definitely be a feather in my cap and it would go a long way in the grand scheme of things. However this event is Violent Conduct and it is the most dangerous event of the year. It’s the one night where the matches are all contested under a special stipulation and people wrestle with the intention beat the bloody hell out of one another.

As dumb of a bird you might be, and as much as I think you are a stupid wanker. The truth is I plan to fuck you up. What you did to me is something that I honestly can’t forgive. You took away the one person that meant the most to me. You took out my girlfriend and its bullshit. Courtney had worked her arse off to get back onto the roster. After not being able to compete for well over a year because of an injury and having to leave her tournament prize behind her she managed to successfully come back to the ring.

She was on a slump but she shattered through her limits and things were definitely starting to look up.”

Ruby shakes her head as she looks right into the camera.

“However as much as things started to look up for her that just didn’t feel right to you. You ruined her. When you came to the ring to give your bullshit ass excuse of a speech you decided to take your frustration out on somebody who genuinely cared about you. You hurt my girlfriend and I get it. It was a chance to gain some cheap heat. A way to let everybody know that you were back, and you didn’t give a damn on who you had to step on to get to that point.

Honestly it was a great idea. On paper everything went according to plan as you thought it would go. There was one major problem though. What you didn’t realize is the fact that Courtney Pierce has me for a girlfriend and I am one crazy Bitch. I am not going to let you get away with any of this. The moment you destroyed everything she had worked so hard to return too is the moment that you should have known that I would be getting involved.

You now have to deal with the wrath of the angry girlfriend and I don’t plan to be nice. I plan to beat the unholy hell out of you across the arena. I might take an ass whopping. I might get sent through a table but I damn sure am going to make sure you know that you have been in an absolute war. Nobody strikes first and gets away with it. An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth! What goes around certainly comes back around and there’s no greater feeling than getting even.”

Ruby points at the camera as she continues to share more of her heart.

“To be honest Alicia you want to know why all of this happened to begin with?! It’s because you are a sore fucking loser. You don’t react well to losing. You can sit there and act all high and mighty saying how the state of the division went down the drain when Keira Johnson became the champion. How things got worse when Keira dropped it to Crystal, and then wish to act all high and mighty as soon as Amber Ryan gets the belt, and tries to pretend to be all buddy like with her.

That’s very asinine and at the end of the day I don’t know why you are trying to hate on Keira for making the division bad when she is the one who BEAT you. It makes you look extremely stupid to blame the person that BEAT you for killing the division. Maybe if you were a better champion Keira wouldn’t have become champion which in turn might have prevented Crystal from becoming a champion and so on. Then again that seems to be the entire deal with Wolfslair. They are all great wrestlers in their own right but their attitude just sucks.

When I was climbing through the realm of the roster I remember that super card where the entire build up was Amber and Crystal beating the shit out of one another. There was hatred all around and one of the members of Wolfslair tried to say that they were the ONLY match that people were into. I believe it was Austin and Fenris but I could be wrong. That’s such a dumb comment to say when everybody is working hard and the evidence proves elsewise.

But hey Alicia you are good. You managed to hold the World Bombshell Championship for the longest single reign ever. You had ONE… Yes ONE break out year and that was legendary. However you haven’t been able to match that one year, and after losing to Keira your star has faded. You aren’t the woman that you once were.

When you are out of the championship hunt you have to resort to coming across like a little EMO bitch who wishes to whine and cry because the focus isn’t on you. You had your chance to get back into the spotlight. You win your little Queen of the Day match. Of course you line yourself up against Amber Ryan and it just wasn’t good enough.”

Ruby shakes her head with a sigh.

“You could have vowed to work back up. You could have told everyone the setback wouldn’t get to you but of course as USUAL, and as you usually do when things don’t go your way or you lose a title match. You want to cry retirement and go on, and on with the woe is me speech. As much as people give Keira and Crystal shit for wanting titles I can honestly say they don’t really threaten retirement. They get off of their asses and they fight. You however want sympathy. You want people to look at your little emo trips, and you want people to give a fuck.

I am going to expose you for what you are and showcase that you always can’t get what you want when you want it because the world doesn’t work that way. I know I haven’t done all that much but somewhere deep inside of me is the woman who won the Blast From The Past and I plan to bring that woman out when I step into the ring with you. The question is are you going to be ready for her?!

What will you do after I beat you Alicia. Will you be the woman who claims a fluke when you lose to me or are you going to take it like a woman and try to bounce back and fight. It doesn’t really matter because I know what I am about. Violent Conduct I am going to absolutely hurt you. I am going to take great pride in beating the living snot out of you. So please give me the fight I want but I am fighting for more than just settling a grudge. This is for my school, my respect, and my girlfriend. I refuse to let Courtney down…

You might try to rise up to me. You might wish to bring your best but if you think I will ever back down that is a thought that is absolutely OUTRAGEOUS!!!! See you in the ring Luv. You will need to bring it because I am ready for this moment. Best of luck you certainly will need it.”

With that Ruby turns off her light off jacket as she is now in nothing but darkness. The scene fades to black on the darkness as the cameras stop rolling.
