Jessie’s attempt to win the Bombshell Tag Titles ended in failure as the Metal and Punk Connection where eliminated early from the Tag Team Battle Royal, after that Jessie found herself sitting idly by waiting for her next match as the rest of the New Zealand leg of the Down Under Tour wrapped up, that is until Mercedes Vargas won the World Bombshell Championship from Polly Playtime during the Climax Control that was deemed to be the Night of Champions.

Jessie wasted no time in trash talking the new champion who Jessie has more than a few wins over, however the bosses refused to give her the shot because they felt that she had had enough title shots during the year of 2017 prompting Jessie to take matters into her own hands by sending her step-brother Jake and husband Shane out into the streets of Auckland, New Zealand to do a survey of the local SCW fans, the result was unanimous, the fans wanted the match between Jessie and Mercedes for the World Bombshell Championship before the year ended.

Jessie’s gamble paid off as she was booked to compete against three other Bombshells during a Climax Control that had been dubbed “Contenders” in a Fatal Four Way to determine the first challenger for Mercedes’s World Bombshell Championship but they didn’t make it easy on her to say the least putting her up against three former World Bombshell Champions, Polly Playtime, Evie Baang and Mikah, and made it clear that this was Jessie’s last chance, can Jessie move one step closer to achieving her dream?

XXXX Brewery Tour, Brisbane, Australia
Wednesday the 4th of October 2017, 16:00pm

Yeah, I know, three metalheads walk into a brewery, I’m sure that you have a lot of funny jokes in mind already.

But yeah, this week we’re at the XXXX Brewery Tour during our stay in Brisbane for the second to last stop on the down under tour of Australia and New Zealand which is, appropriately enough, being used to set up the title matches for this year’s High Stakes Supercard with it being dubbed “Contenders”, because apparently “Night of Contenders” doesn’t have the same ring to it as “Night of Champions” but I digress.

Most of my friends in SCW are in action to boot, Sam’s defending the SCW Bombshell Roulette Title against Melanie Gabrielle, Amy’s in the Number 1 Contender’s Match for the Bombshell Internet Championship and Valora is having her first title opportunity against Devona for the Internet Championship and considering what happened at the end of the Triple Threat Match last week we might get Amy/Valora for the title in a few weeks’ time which will be interesting to say the least.

But those matches aren’t my main concern and honestly? If you watched last week’s Climax Control you would’ve seen the stunt I pulled to get back in the World Bombshell Title Picture and saw the bosses’ response, honestly? I thought they were going to put me in a hardcore handicap match against Twisted Sister and the Iron Maiden for calling them idiots but I guess biting the hand that signs your paychecks works, who knew? As for my reaction to the actual match…….

*flashback*

By the time you’re jumping into the story Climax Control is about to end and I am waiting for the boys to join me after they get their ears chewed off by the bosses for helping me with my stunt earlier, by now most of the Bombshells and Superstars have gone back to their hotels so that they can get a good night’s sleep ahead of the flight to Australia tomorrow but I still haven’t learned how to drive meaning that I must wait around for a bit.

“There you are!” I heard Amy’s voice rang out and I saw her walk up to me, I grinned and gave her a fist bump once she was in range. “You never could take no for an answer, could you?”

“You have seen who’s holding the World Bombshell Title now, right?” I asked with a grin as I folded my arms. “I know I can beat Mercedes, I’ve done it before and I can do it again and if I have to resort to extreme measures to get my point across then that’s exactly what I’ll do!” I added before taking a sip. “The bosses wanted a little chat with Jake and Shane about their involvement but I shouldn’t be here much longer.”

“I’m not surprised.” Amy responded with a grin before taking a sip from the water bottle she was carrying. “So, what was with the production quality of the video? Or lack thereof.”

“I originally tried to get a SCW cameracrew to help us out but half of them were busy with promos and the other half said that they’re job is to tape promos and film the shows, not follow me or my friends around during their to day lives.” I responded with a shrug before frowning. “I didn’t think there was a difference between that or a wrestling promo but that’s beside the point, I think what they really wanted to say was that they didn’t want to risk their jobs.”

“Makes sense to me.” Amy nodded in response before grinning. “Besides, I think it helped the video, gave it a nice grassroots feel.”

“Yeah, once I saw the footage for myself I said the same thing.” I nodded in response before frowning. “By the way, it sucks that your match ended the way it did.”

“Yeah, I thought Evie had just been knocked silly by Valora’s kick, didn’t realize that she had been knocked the fuck out.” Amy responded with a frown before shaking her head. “It wasn’t until I saw her leave the arena in an ambulance that I realized that Jasmine was right.”

“Yeah, well, to be blunt I’ll be surprised if she’s able to wrestle before the tour ends, getting knocked out is no joke.” I responded but before I could say anything else a stage hand came up to me. “Next week’s card?”

“Yep, and the bosses wanted me to tell you that Shane and Jake are waiting in the parking lot and that this is your last chance.” The stage hand responded before walking off and we read the card, after skimming through the first few matches we found the ones that we were interested in.

“Okay, you’re in the Internet Championship Number One Contender’s Match against Diamond and Crystal Millar.” I commented as I read the card before my eyes locked onto my match. “And I guess I was wrong about Evie taking some time off.”

“Yep, you and she are up against two other old friends of yours, Polly and Mikah.” Amy responded with a nod before glancing up at me. “I guess it’s a question of who wants it more, three former World Bombshell Champions or the only Bombshell in the match to not hold that title who has been after it like there’s no tomorrow.”

“I think we both know the answer to that, my ascension to the ranks of the Grand Slam Champions is well overdue.” I responded before kicking off the wall. “I’d better go meet up with the boys in the parking lot, meet up in the week for training?”

“If I can find a kickboxing gym in Brisbane, sure, until then, it’s a date!” Amy responded with a nod before I walked off.

*end flashback*

My male companions may have gotten told off for helping me defy the bosses orders but you know what? Mission fucking accomplished! I got what I wanted, one last chance to win the World Bombshell Championship before the end of the year but to get my foot in the door I must beat three former World Bombshell Champions including the two women I faced for the title at Violent Conduct IV, so the question is, can I win the match?

What do you think? Don’t answer that, because I just know that certain bitter ex-employees are going to answer “no” almost immediately!

As I said earlier we are on the XXXX Brewery Tour here in Brisbane except the tour’s over, we weren’t allowed to show anything inside the brewery itself on TV unless we signed a waiver and that would’ve eaten up valuable promo time so here we are in a nearby café planning our next move.

“I say we go to one of the nature parks next.” Jake commented as he looked at Trip Advisor on his iPhone. “After the tour through the brewery I’d say that it’ll be a good pallet cleanser.”

“Maybe we should avoid any forests in that case, else we run into any Black Metal Bands filming videos.” I joked as I leaned over and looked at his iPhone getting a laugh from the boys. “That will largely depend on what time I finish my training with Amy however.”

“True, hell who knows? Maybe we can ask her if she’s interested in coming with us.” Shane suggested and I shrugged my shoulders in response, it did sound like a good idea but I don’t know if Amy’s really an out doorsy type. “So, are you planning or responding to Crystal’s parody of you?”

“That depends, are you guys willing to cross dress?” I asked and the boys shared a look before shaking their heads. “Yeah, I thought not, it was a piss-poor parody anyway, I might see if Amy or Caleb’s girlfriend Katie are willing to help but I’ve got my seg planned already, building off the people power thing I had going on last week.”

“We’re not helping you with that again.” Shane quickly asserted and I turned to him. “I don’t want to get chewed out again just because I’m trying to help my wife achieve her dream of being the top champion in a company.”

“You guys don’t have to worry about that, my plan will be taking place during the show itself so I’ll be using an SCW cameracrew.” I explained and the boys nodded in response before our food arrived, it was nothing more than a light snack but after the tour we felt it was needed and besides, we grabbed a bite to eat before we left the hotel earlier, once we were done eating I got out my purse and put down my contribution towards the meal. “I think you guys know what I’m about to say.”

“Promo time, right?” Jake asked and I nodded in response. “We’ll meet you by the rent car, I’m guessing its straight back to the hotel after this?” Jake asked and I nodded in response before walking out of the café and into a nearby alleyway so that I could do my promo.

“Anyone else would’ve sat back and did what they were told by the idiots signing their paychecks but come on, did you really think someone as passionate for metal as I was going to listen to them? Hell no! I’m a metalhead! I’m supposed to anti-establishment and I showed that with my segment last Sunday and as the old saying goes, the squeaky wheel gets the grease and I got what I wanted, a chance for the World Bombshell Championship as I get ready to fight Polly Playtime, Evie Baang and Mikah for the right to challenge Mercedes Vargas at High Stakes in just a few weeks, however this is also my last chance!”

Not like it matters.

“But you know what? One last chance is all I need! I’ve beaten Mercedes Vargas so many times now that it’s a sick joke that she won the World Bombshell Championship before me but it’ll be me who has the last laugh, first I’ll get passed three former champions and then? I’ll beat Mercedes once again and this time? Well the name of the Supercard couldn’t be more appropriate if they tried because the stakes are high!”

And I’m starting with Polly.

“Surprise, surprise, I’m starting with the women who cut my last attempt at winning the title short, went on to win the match and on top of all that lost the title in her first defense, tell me Polly, is it starting to feel like déjà vu yet? It should because I remember your first World Bombshell Championship reign ending under similar circumstances yet you got thrown to the front of the line ahead of me! Not this time Polly because you may wish that it could always be playtime but this Sunday, playtime is over!”

Next up is Evie.

“And now onto the women Polly beat to win the title in the first place, that’s right it’s Australia’s favorite bitch Evie Baang! And frankly? I’ll be surprised if she remembers that she’s an SCW Bombshell after that kick she took last week! So, Evie, how’s your head? Sore as hell? I hope so and who knows? Maybe Valora’s kick knocked some much-needed sense into your head but I doubt it, besides if you thought that your head was rocked by Evie’s kick then just wait until you see what I have in store for you this Sunday!”

And finally, Mikah.

“I’m surprised that Mikah was even considered as a contender for any title, let alone the World Bombshell Championship after she forfeited the match for the Bombshell Internet Championship to Devona at the Night of Champions show a few weeks ago and when I called her out for it on Twitter the only response she gave was that it was a title match that she didn’t want! Cry me a fucking river Mikah, I didn’t want to be put in that Tag Team Street Fight at last year’s Violent Conduct show whilst the World Bombshell Title Shot went to someone who didn’t deserve it but I still competed and I won! You know what else I’m going to win Mikah? This match and if I have to drive your empty head through the matt to win then I will!”

And with that I decided to wrap things up.

“On paper I’m the odd one out in this match being the only Bombshell in the match who isn’t a former World Bombshell Champion but I’ll soon be correcting that! I’ll show the world that Polly is the biggest choke artist in wrestling today, if Evie can remember what her name is I’ll show the world why being the biggest bitch around doesn’t make up for a supreme lack of talent and I’ll show the world why Mikah should’ve been fired long ago! But most importantly, I’ll show the world why I belong at the top of the Bombshell Division when I win this match! This is the heavy metal angel Jessie Salco signing off, this may be my last chance to achieve my dream but I’ll do everything in my power to make it a reality!”

I left the alleyway and headed towards the parking lot as the scene fades.
