[Amy Marshall]

 Climax Control #200
Live from:  Gold Coast Casino, Las Vegas, NV.

Battle Royal = #1 Challenger to World Bombshell Championship.

Alice Knight vs. Mercedes Vargas vs. Amy Marshall vs. Kira Phoenix vs Jessie Salco.</Center>

Climax Control 200 has kicked off the usual pomp and hype as everyone seemed to be buzzing backstage are they focused on making sure that the very last Climax Control would go out with a bang not focus on where they will be going next.  With several matches already completed with Chris Crippler and The Fallen winning their matches and several segments in between with the usual pointless bullshit from Motor City Maidens.  Up next though were one of four important matches of the night… the number one contender match for the Bombshell Championship, which featured Mercedes Vargas, Metal and Punk Connection tag team partners Amy Marshall and Jessie Salco and then add in a couple of random nobodies to fill the gaps.

This match started well with everyone going for someone and battling and fighting to stay in the ring and battling to become the last woman inside the ring as Amy and Jessie tried to avoid each other much of the match, until they were the last women in the ring and this is where the gloves came off and it would be a battle of tag partners and friendship put on the line…

…Jessie manages to get Amy in a headlock, whipping her in the ropes and sets her up for a superkick, but Amy sidesteps and kicks Jessie in the midsection following with an Irish Whip over the top rope, but Jessie manages to land on the apron. There Amy follows it up with a flying forearm like she did earlier, but Jessie saw it coming and sidesteps and kicks her partner in the head with a stiff kick. This causes Amy to stagger backwards as Jessie gets on the top rope and jumps forward for a flying cross body block. Only to be caught by Amy as she staggers backwards to the other side of the ring. There she lifts Jessie up on her shoulders before trying to toss her tag team partner over the top rope. But Jessie manages to grab hold off the ropes and then tries to go for the same hold that she used on Kira earlier to dump her over the top rope. Amy manages to wrap her legs on the middle rope as she starts to deliver heavy blows to the midsection of Jessie. Causing her to let go off the hold. This causes Amy to stagger backwards, trying to catch some breath as Jessie slowly tries to regain her composer and a vertical position on the ring apron. But turns around just too late to see that Amy has delivered another flying forearm smash to her head. This sends Jessie to the canvas hard as this causes the ring bell to ring and the match to end.

Justin: The winner of this match and the NEW number one contender for the SCW Bombshell championship!! Amy Marshall!!!!

As soon as Jessie disappeared over the top rope and onto the mat below... it took me a moment to realise that I had won. Looking down at Jessie and then turning to see I was the only person in the ring I screamed out in surprise as my music hits over the p.a system, the ref raised my arm in victory as the biggest smile appeared on my face as I climbed the ropes to celebrate forgetting that I had just eliminated a friend. Jumping off the turnbuckle, I slipped out of the ring and celebrated up the ramp and into the backstage area.

Once backstage I was greeted by Joey who picked me up and spun me around and kissed me on the cheek, as several others congratulated me.

“You did it!”

“I did... I can’t believe it.”

Joey put me down as I looked part way down the hall to see Jessie kick a large travel box in maybe anger or maybe in frustration. I pull away from Joey as I cautiously approach Jessie.

“I’m sorry.”

I said.

“Its fine... no need to be sorry. I just should have tried and fought harder.”

Jessie let out a heavy sigh.

“No hard feelings?”

“I queried hoping that our friendship would survive this.”

“Maybe... I don’t know. Look congratulations... you were the better woman. You deserve this.”

Jessie said as she shook her head and walked away. I knew that she wasn’t ok with the result but in fairness she had so many maybe undeserved shots at the Bombshell championship that it was about time that someone else had a shot. I turned to see Pussy Willow talking to Joey... I look back towards Jessie’s direction before walking back to where Joey and Pussy were.

“Hi pussy... I’m guessing you are here to interview the final number one contender for the Bombshell championship?”

“Correct.”

“Well fire away...”

I said with a smile as I grabbed Joey’s hand.

“Thank you.”

Pussy nods at the camera man, who turns the camera on before starting.

“Ladies and gentlemen... with me at this time the new and final number one contender to the Bombshell championship.... held by Mikah. First things first how are you feeling?”

“I feel amazing... I called the result of this match and look what happened... I won and now I get to face for the first time ever in singles competition Mikah.”

“It was a great result for you... but as we all saw it came down to you and Jessie Salco... your tag team partner as the final two. Is there any remorse or regret?”

“To be honest... I feel neither regret or remote. Battle royals are every person for themselves and Jessie knew if it came down to us then we would have to fight. And guess what... it came down to us and we fought but I was much hungrier, and I had to eliminate her. I know that Jessie was seeking another legitimate chance at the Bombshell championship, but it wasn’t going to be. She knew that it was going to be a hard fight especially with myself and Mercedes inside the ring... and unfortunately it was me who eliminated her to end any chance.”

“Well you now face Mikah for the Bombshell championship in your first ever singles match together. Do you have any thoughts about this match.”

“Just one...”

“What’s that?”

“I’m winning and taking her title.”

I smile and say nothing else knowing that I should save it all closer to the time.

“That’s it?”

“It is. Thank you, Pussy.”

I smile again and then walk away with Joey, leaving Pussy to wrap things up and for me to return to locker and perhaps leave Jessie alone for a bit.

Las Vegas, NV
+ Day before Hen Party +</Center>

The scene opens inside Las Vegas residence of Amy Marshall, where we see Amy sorting out what to wear for her hen party, however, she was disturbed by the doorbell. Placing down the items of clothing Amy headed down the stairs to the front door, where she opens it to reveal Lori and a couple of friends from previous a previous employer, whom she hadn’t seen for a while.

“Surprise...”

Shouted the two women, as Lori smiled and shrugged.

“Oh my god you came.”

Amy smiled and moved in and hugged the three women.

“Yeah... well. I wouldn’t miss it for the world even though we all live in different parts of the country.”

Said the red headed woman.

“Of course... come in. You guys want anything to drink? I got tea, coffee, water... champagne?”

Amy queried

“Champagne.”

Lori said with a smile.

“Everyone want a glass?”

Amy queried as she disappeared towards the kitchen to glasses and the champagne, as she listening to some of the conversation and grabs a water.

“I would love to but I’m sober now.”

The brunette says.

“How long has it been Mia?”

Lori asked.

“About a year”

“What made you go sober?”

The red head named Carly asks, as Amy returns from the kitchen and hands Mia the water before placing the champagne and glasses down.

“I made it a new year’s resolution last year after ending up in the ER with my stomach being pumped after drinking and taking too much. I realised I needed to sort my life out after that.”

“Congrats on being 1 year sober.  You sure coming to my hen party won’t lead you into temptation?”

Amy asks worried that she might make her friend fall off the wagon, as she hypocritically poured opened the champagne and poured it into the three glasses.

“It’s cool… I go running to starve off any cravings and I will just take a long run tomorrow morning.”

Mia shrugged.

“Don’t wear yourself down too much tomorrow otherwise you will crash way too early into the night.”

Carly said.

“I’ll be fine.”

Mia said with a smile.

“Let move on… lets toast Amy and her pending marriage to.”

Lori picks up her glass, which Carly and Amy follow suit with Mia lifting her water bottle up.

“To Amy and to a happy marriage.”

Carly says and then they toast clinking glasses and bottle before taking a sip.

“Now what you guys been up to?

Amy motions to Carly and Mia as she goes to find out what they have been doing since they have last seen each other.  The scene soon fades out as Mia, Carly, Amy and Lori talking about life, men, careers and family as they share a few laughs.

All Pro Wrestling
Wednesday Semi Pro Boot Camp
Pacifica, CA</Center>

“Today we have a slightly different class for everyone. As you can see in the ring, we have a very special guest and if you don’t know her. Her name is Amy Santino aka Amy Marshall from Sin city wrestling. Amy is here today train with you guys and as bad as this sounds test some new moves on you. But just a word of warning for you and her request. Do not hot too hard... she doesn’t want bruises showing on her wedding day.

Over to you Amy.”

The main head trainer kicks things off and explains why Amy is there.

“Hi guys.”

Amy smiles

“Hello…Hi… Hey”

Everyone says at the same time.

“Now everyone is thinking... why am I here to test moves when I have a tag team partner and I can train with the big boys. Truth of the matter is... everyone is enjoying their Christmas. I have been enjoying my Christmas but have got a little bored and I need to forget about certain things. Anyway... how many of you follow SCW programming?”

Out of the 10 people in the class, only 4 raise their hand.

“You four then know that I am facing Mikah at full circle for the Bombshell championship. Now I am planning to surprise Mikah with some very different moves aside from high flying moves that I usually do, and I need a sparring match to test these.

So first things first. Has everyone warmed up?”

Everyone shakes their head in a no fashion.

“Good. Neither have I. So let’s do a few stretches and a jog around the ring.”

Amy days as she climbs out of the ring and begins to stretch for a few moments as the trainees look at each other and find this all a little surreal before joining Amy in stretching. Once everyone is stretched out, Amy begins s little jog around the ring to get her heart and adrenaline going. Doing several loops around the ring Amy climbs into the ring and bounces to her feet.

“Who’s first?”

A young woman raises her hand before climbing into the ring and stands in the centre of the ring, as a ref climbs in behind her. Amy then gets ready to face off this woman. She and the female wrestler then lock up in the centre of the ring, where they briefly jockey for position before Amy manoeuvres the female wrestler into a headlock, where Amy cranks on the move a few times as the female wrestler pushes Amy away and into the ropes and as Amy comes back, she pushes the female wrestler down to the mat. Amy looks down at the female wrestler and smirks before grabbing the female wrestler’s foot and turning her over as the female wrestler pushes herself up to one foot, however, before Amy can do anything else the female wrestler yanks her foot back and as Amy comes towards the female wrestler, the female wrestler throws an elbow backwards surprising Amy.

Amy stumbles back on holding her jaw… the female wrestler steps back in shock.

“I am so so sorry.”

Amy checks for blood, which she finds none.

“It’s cool”

Amy moves towards the female wrestler and they lock up once more as Amy manages to manoeuvre the wrestler into a headlock and cranks on the move, however, the wrestler backs up into the ropes, which Amy pushes the wrestler away and as the female wrestler bounces off the ropes and comes back at Amy, Amy ducks and kicks the female wrestler in the stomach stopping.  Amy grabs the female wrestler and picks up her up onto her shoulders and hitting a Fireman’s Carry gutbuster, which knocks the wind from the female wrestler and who rolls out of the ring.

“You alright”

No answer, as Amy looks over the ropes to the floor to see the female wrestler sitting up holding her stomach, as Amy turns happy that move turned out well, she sees that someone else comes into the ring.

“Milly here has a muay Thai background… is that ok with you?”

“Yeah… perfect.”

Amy smiles as she stretches some as she watches Milly and although her background was muay Thai, she is expected to wrestle and maybe incorporate the muay Thai into her wrestling later.  Amy approaches Milly where they briefly lock up but Milly counters with a go behind and locks her hands together around Amy’s waist, as Amy throws an elbow backwards, which forces Milly to release the hold and step backwards.  This gives Amy an opening and she turns and get into position and hits a kick to the side of Milly’s body.  Milly gives a look of surprise at Amy, who hits another kick to the side of Milly.

Milly backs away and looks at the trainer unsure…
“Just go with it.”

Milly nods and right away refocuses her mind as she and Amy then begin to feign kicks and punches towards each other, but the punches and kicks soon connect and getting harder and harder, until Amy kicks Milly in the gut before grabbing Milly and hitting an exploder Suplex. Milly lays on the mat a little confused, as Amy approaches Milly and drags her to the centre of the ring, where she begins to tie up and then locks in an Indian Deathlock Crossface on Milly. The scene quickly fades as that said wrestler taps out, she releases the hold allowing the wrestler to roll out of the ring, as Amy smiles with satisfaction of testing out some of her new moves as she slides out of the ring to allow everyone else continue their training.

Vintners inn, Santa Rosa, CA
John Ash & Co Restaurant
+ Day before wedding +

The scene opens inside the Vintners inn but more precisely the John Ash & Co restaurant, where we see the restaurant filled with visitors and guests. As the camera pans around we see Amy, her mom and two sisters Mary and Katie, where they are talking and eating their meal except for Amy who pushes some of food around and taking small bites.

“Are you not hungry?”

Katie asked looking at Amy.

“Not really.”

Amy said slightly distracted.

“Nervous?”

Mary asks as she continues eating her meal. Amy put down her fork and sat back picking up her wine, as her mom begins to speak.

“Being nervous is natural. You are probably thinking the wedding will get ruined, is everything ready, is everyone coming, will my fiancé be there, am I making a mistake etc... there are so many what ifs, but you can’t think like that. I had these doubts when I married your father, but I had this same conversation with my mother in law...it helped but also throwing up twice helped a little.”

“Twice!”

Katie said

“Yep. First thing in the morning and then outside the church.”

Amy chuckled a little.

“I bet the minister wasn’t too impressed.”

“Apparently I wasn’t the first person to do that… he was used to it.”

Amy’s mom shrugged, Amy shook her head.

“I have never been this nervous before and scared.”

“Scared?”

Katie queried.

“I don’t know why.”

Amy shrugged.

“STOP! You will be fine.  Once you get that dress on tomorrow morning the nerves and doubts will disappear, and you will become the happiest woman as you walk down the aisle. Now finish your meal and we will return to your room and watch some films or something.”

Amy’s mom said putting her foot down on the talk of nerves and being scared etc…  Amy nodded as picked up her fork and began eating again although the nerves still there, as Katie, Mary and their mom finished up their meals.

“Shall we order room service… more specifically dessert?”

Mary queried.

“Sure.”

Amy smiled, as a waitress comes over and collects their plates.

“Would you like any desserts?”

“I hope you don’t mind but we are going to order room service and get desserts sent to our room. Is that ok?”

“It’s is fine.  We look forward to your requests.”

The waitress smiles before walking away, as Amy, her mom, Katie and Mary stand to their feet, as Amy grabs the desserts menu before leaving the dining room.  The scene soon fades out with Amy, their mom, Katie and Mary taking the short walk to Amy’s hotel room.

When Amy turns around and yells at Mercedes, Mikah takes advantage by nailing Amy in the back with a double axe handle, followed up by a Face Plant into the mat.

Baltimore, Maryland
+ Amy’s office in 3-X Productions +

Amy closes the laptop and looks into the camera…

To be honest there wasn’t much interaction as we were in a four corners survivor match. Those few highlights were the only time we stood in the ring together and fought. We have never gone one verses one in the all the time that you have been in this company. Surprising really considering how big the bombshell roster is as I have faced Mercedes, Jessie, Crystal several times. Back then it was to become the number one contender for the bombshell championship match... effectively it has come ironically full circle that I had won and just become the number contender for the bombshell championship held by you.

Did you realise that we have spoken9 backstage.... never met up... nor even properly tweeted each other.... perhaps a good thing maybe bad... I just don’t know. But what I do know is that I called the outcome of the match at Climax Control 200... I called the fact that I would win that match and I am going to make another big call and another big prediction.

I am going to win. I am going to walk away as the last ever bombshell champion of this company. It’s something not to be happy about but its making history, which I am all about.

- First ever grand slam champion in any division
- Second ever bombshell triple crown
- First ever three-time tag team champion.

So going into this match... I am confident, and I am prepared and 100% fucking ready to bring this battle to you and take away a title that you don’t deserve. Those times you have won the bombshell title and in fact any other title... you have just been disappointing and a let-down and just a dull champion... kind of like your life and marriage to Drake.

But I am not going to take shots at your marriage or even Drake as Drake and I are friends and I don’t want to upset him and well as recently married myself... I can’t really comment.

Anyway... let’s go back to the match at hand.

Going into this match it appears that I am the underdog… that I have no chance and you will walk over me with relative ease…. It may be the case, but the thing is, I defeated Mercedes, Jessie, Kira and Alice in the number one contender match… Mercedes is a highly accomplished wrestler and could have easily walked that match… but her heart wasn’t in that match, just like in your match with her.  But that doesn’t mean I’m expecting an easy fight… I will be expecting a tough fight, which you will use every single tactic dirty and clean in your arsenal.  

But I am ready to expect the unexpected. Having faced Veronica too many times to count I am ready for anything dirty coming my way and for tough fights... I beat Delia when it counted, and the odds were stacked against me... I will use that win as inspiration to beat you.

With this company unfortunately closing and this as my one and final shot... I am going to channel that win... I am going to put my body on the line and I am going to make damn fucking sure that I am going to walk away as champion... I have nothing to lose unlike you.

All the pressure is on you... you have to win... you have to make sure you are at the top of your game, you have to make sure you are ready and prepared. You have to make sure that you have done all the training that can do, watched every single wrestling video and promo that I have ever done... because if you haven’t... I will be there exploiting your lack of preparation. I will be there in your face saying bring it before kicking your ass over the ring.

Full Circle... the very last show of Sin City Wrestling is where a NEW Bombshell world champion will be crowned. I will be walking away with that title because i earned it because i want it and because everyone wants to see me leave with it.

Mikah... you better be ready for a fight of your life because I am taking the title and there will be nothing that you can do about it.

See you soon.

[Mikah]

DREAM SEQUENCE

Her eyes open and she’s sitting on the beach, watching the waves hit the sand and she frowns, not really remembering going to to the beach.  She glances down to see that she was wearing a simply turquoise bikini and had seemingly done well with working on her tan.  She glances around and frowns, noticing that the beach was empty and that she was the only person on the beach, sitting on a large beach towel that was printed with pineapples.  She was confused and that was lightly stating it.  She reaches out and grabs a handful of sand and slowly lets it fall back to the ground through her fingers, trying to decide if this was real or not.  She shrugs her shoulders, figuring that there wasn’t much else that she could do but enjoy it.  She situates herself and is about to lie back down when she sees somebody sit down beside her to her left.  She jumps before turning to face the person and the shock hits her face as she sees him.

;;MIKAH  â€œWhat...this isn’t possible…”

She was left dumbfounded or at least, that is how she felt.  He smiles at her and reaches over and pokes her stomach and she looks down, looking at the place where he had poked her.  She looks back over at him, the shock still on her face.

;;MIKAH  â€œThis….cannot be possible…”

He smiles at her and she wants to smile back at him, but the only thing she can feel is a wave of sadness.  And like normal, he picks up on that feeling and pulls her over to him and wraps her in a hug.  He was the only person who knew her better than she knew herself.  She lets him hug her and it takes her a hot minute, but soon she wraps her arms around his neck, hugging him close to her and doesn’t seem to want to let go of him.

;;MIKAH  â€œI don’t know how this is possible...you’re dead.”

He doesn’t say anything, just hugs her and lets her hug him as long as she wants to and doesn’t let go until she’s ready.

»»CHRISTIAN OTHNIEL  â€œMaybe…”

She just looks at him and hugs him again, wanting to feel his arms around her in that embrace that she knew so well.  And missed so much.

;;MIKAH  â€œI miss you, so much.”

He smiles at her as he hugs her again.  She knew that this couldn’t be real, that something was off but she didn’t care.  It had been almost two years since she last got to feel his skin underneath her fingertips and two years since she last heard his voice.

»»CHRISTIAN OTHNIEL  â€œI know.”

She smiles at him as she moves back a bit to look at him, trying to remember everything about him.

;;MIKAH  â€œI wish you were still alive…”

She looks at him, a slightly vulnerable look in her eyes as she does.  He smiles at her, trying to offer her something in return.  She was starting to realize that this was just a dream and that it wasn’t real.  But she didn’t care.  She at least got to see him and hug him.

»»CHRISTIAN OTHNIEL  â€œI know.”

She didn’t know what else to say to him so she sits back down on the towel and stares out at the ocean.  She had never understood why he had loved California so much but if she was to fall in love with California, it’d be the ocean that would do it for her.

;;MIKAH  â€œI wish you were still here.  There’s so much that I want to tell you and now, you’re not.”

She flinches when his hand reaches over and carefully wipes a tear away, a tear she hadn’t known had spilled from her eyes.

»»CHRISTIAN OTHNIEL  â€œYou can still tell me.  You can tell me right now.”

She looks at him, the sincerity in his eyes touched her and she smiles softly.  She wanted to tell him everything but she didn’t know where to start.  She wanted to tell him how much she missed him and how mad she was at him still from dying.  But was it fair to be mad at a dead person?

;;MIKAH  â€œI was so mad at you.”

Her voice was low, almost as if she didn’t want to say it aloud.

;;MIKAH  â€œI didn’t even want to talk about you for a long time.  I couldn’t...I couldn’t face the fact that you were gone and not going to come back.  It was so hard for me.”

He doesnt’ say anything, letting her talk and he was just listening to the words that were coming out of her mouth.  She closes her eyes and takes a deep breath, inhaling the scent of the ocean and the sand before she reopens them and looks over at Christian.

;;MIKAH  â€œAnd now, I’m so close to what could be the end of my career…”

He reaches over and tucks her blonde hair behind her ear and she leans into his hand, relishing his touch for a second.  He watches her, the admiration in his eyes.

»»CHRISTIAN OTHNIEL  â€œWhat are you going to do after you might be done?”

She looks over at him, the uncertainty in her eyes as she looks at him.

;;MIKAH  â€œI don’t know…”

The honesty in her answer was real and now that she said the words out loud, it was harder to take them back.  She honestly wasn’t sure what her life was going to be without wrestling in it; without SCW in it because she’d been there for three years now.

;;MIKAH  â€œI always kind of had a thought in the back of my mind…”

She stops talking for a minute, as if the thought was too hard to talk about.  Too hard to think about, even.

;;MIKAH  â€œThere was always this thought that you and I would end up together, you know?  After I was done wrestling, done traveling all around the states for the shows and was just done, that you and I would be together. I know we played with the idea before but I always thought that we’d end up together and that would be our life.  I never pictured a life where you weren’t in it, Mase.  Somehow, you were always there for me.”

The emotion in her voice was raw.  He obviously caught the emotion in her eyes and in her voice because he reaches over and pulls her over closer to him.  She moves with him, helping him so he didn’t have to do all the hard work and she moves in between his legs and leans back against his chest.  He wraps his arms around her torso and she lets him.

»»CHRISTIAN OTHNIEL  â€œI am so sorry that I can’t be there for you.”

She didn’t know what to say or what she could say, really.  She couldn’t change the fact that he wasn’t here and she couldn’t change the empty feeling she felt when she felt about him being dead.  She had tried to work through her emotions about his death but it had always ended up worse than before.

;;MIKAH  â€œI just am not sure what I’m going to do when I’m done wrestling.  It’s all I’ve known.”

He continues to hold her, pulling her closer to him.

»»CHRISTIAN OTHNIEL  â€œYou’ll be Leighton’s mother and Drake’s wife.  It will be easier than you think, Miks.  Right now it seems hard to step back but you’ll be okay.  It’s fun being retired; you can even go on vacations without worrying about having to be anywhere by a certain date.”

She knew he was trying to reassure her that the impending future that she couldn’t see was going to be okay.  But his words did not help her to calm down any.

;;MIKAH  â€œBut what if it’s not okay, Mase?  What if I go insane with all this time that I’m going to have?”

He chuckles at the question and rubs her shoulders for a minute or so.

»»CHRISTIAN OTHNIEL  â€œYou’re not going to go crazy, Miks.  You will be okay, I promise.”

She doesn’t say anything for a moment or so, leaning back against him and just staring at the water.  She didn’t know what she was supposed to feel about her impending retirement or what could be her retirement.  She smiles as she remembers their time in the IRX.

;;MIKAH  â€œDo you remember when we were in the IRX?”

;:Christian Othniel  â€œWhich time?”[/color]

There had been multiple times that they were both in the company at the same time.  But there was only one time that they had actually worked so closely together.

;;MIKAH  â€œThe one when we were in that storyline with Misterio.”

He nods his head.

»»CHRISTIAN OTHNIEL  â€œI remember.”

She smiles at the memory as it plays in the back of her mind like a movie would.  She remembered most of their time together.

;;MIKAH  â€œEverybody thought you hated me, you know.  The way you treated me on screen was the way they were sure you treated me off screen as well.  They’d have never guessed that it was the opposite.  That you are my best friend.”

He smiles, listening to her talk about the golden days of their time in the IRX.  He wraps his arms around her again.

;;MIKAH  â€œI miss that.  I miss working with you.”

She was being completely honest with him.  She knew that working with him was something she had enjoyed so much but that wasn’t a possibility now.  She takes a deep breath and slowly lets it out between hers lightly parted lips.

;;MIKAH  â€œThe last match that I have is against Amy Marshall...for my Bombshell Championship.”

She forces a smile as she says the words aloud.  She couldn’t have imagined that she would be the Bombshell Champion in her very last match with SCW and with the possibility of being the very last Bombshell Champion ever.

;;MIKAH  â€œI never could have imagined…”

She pauses as she takes a deep breath.

;;MIKAH  â€œI could have never imagined that I would be at this part of my career, Mase.  I never imagined that one day, I’d want to be done with wrestling.  But you...you always knew that you wanted to be done; you never hesitated with your retirement, Mase.  I admire that about you, you know.  You were never worried about anything.”

She smiles at the thought and the reminder of how things were with him and how he just easily did things without worrying about the consequence.  He squeezes her closer to him.

»»CHRISTIAN OTHNIEL  â€œI might have been more worried than you knew.”

She shakes her head at him.  She turns her head and pecks his cheek with a kiss.

;;MIKAH  â€œI wish you were really here.”

She was enjoying her time with him, even if she knew that it was only a dream and not actually real.  She didn’t care and was savoring it.

;;MIKAH  â€œYou were the one person I could tell anything to, you know.  You knew all of my secrets and you didn’t judge me for them, only pushed me to get better and get past my demons.  You knew all about my eating disorder and instead of pushing me to go get help at some center, you just helped me with telling me that I was going to be okay.”

She smiles.

;;MIKAH  â€œYou never wanted anything for me but the best.”

He kisses the top of her head and she relaxes back against him.

»»CHRISTIAN OTHNIEL  â€œYou deserve nothing but the best, Mikah.  As the mother of my child, you deserve the entire world.”

Tears prick at her eyes again as he brings up the fact that he’s Leighton’s biological father.  She loved that she would always have a piece of him in her life but it still hurt to know that Leighton wouldn’t get to know her biological father more.

;;MIKAH  â€œShe is an amazing kid, Mase.  Even for a pre-teen, she is amazing.”

She relished in the fact that Leighton was a good kid, a better kid than Mikah had been.  She was thankful that she didn’t get a child that was like she was because she wasn’t sure that she could have dealt with that.

;;MIKAH  â€œI am sure she gets it from you.”

She glances back at him before they both just look out at the water, watching the waves hit the sandy beach.  She relaxes again, letting herself get comfortable and more attached to him.

»»CHRISTIAN OTHNIEL  â€œYou are always insisting that you are a bad egg, Mikah.  You are her mother, she gets a lot of her qualities from you too, you know.  Don’t sell yourself short.”

She rolls her eyes at him and just stays quiet for a minute or two.  She just takes in the ocean and the feeling of his arms around her.

;;MIKAH  â€œYou always say that, too.”

She chuckles softly at him before leaning back against him.

»»CHRISTIAN OTHNIEL  â€œYou’re going to wake up soon, we don’t have much longer…”

She feels the panic inside of her and she didn’t want this dream to be over but she too could feel it, the restlessness of it all.

;;MIKAH  â€œI don’t want this dream to be over..”

The tears were pooling in her eyes now, a few managing to spill down her cheeks as she turns to look at him, her eyes meeting his.  He looks at her and he reaches out, his thumbs wiping away his tears.

»»CHRISTIAN OTHNIEL  â€œPlease don’t cry…”

She didn’t want to cry but she couldn’t help it.

;;MIKAH  â€œThis is probably the best dream I’ve ever had…”

She places her hands over his, feeling his fingers underneath hers.  She wanted to remember this dream for as long as she could and she desperately wanted to remember the way his skin felt on hers.  She looks at him before launching herself into his arms, hugging him tightly.  She didn’t want to let go and she didn’t want to wake up; she wanted to stay in this dream for forever.

»»CHRISTIAN OTHNIEL  â€œYou will be okay, Miks.”

It was the last thing she heard him say as she watches him and everything else fade away as she opens her eyes.

END OF DREAM SEQUENCE

She lies in bed, her husband’s arm around her side, holding her close into him.  She takes a deep breath as she blinks away tears as the dream lies fresh and engraved into her memory.  It had all felt so real and she swore that she could actually feel his skin underneath her touch but it was only a dream.  She turns to face her husband, moving closer to him.  He opens his eyes as he feels the sudden change in position from his wife.  She smiles at him.

::DRAKE  â€œSomething wrong, babe?”

She just looks at him, reaching her hand up and stroking his face for a second before resting her hand on the side of his face.  She leans in and kisses his lips softly.

;;MIKAH  â€œNo.  Just a vivid dream.”

His baby blue eyes look into hers before he kisses her again and pulls her body into his.  She smiles into the kiss and soon, she was on her back and he was on top of her, teasing her a bit.

::DRAKE  â€œWe should make the most of this...maybe practice for what’s to come after your last match in SCW…”

Mikah giggles a little bit before leaning up and pressing her lips against his as well.  They had talked about making babies before but with her career, she couldn’t seem to just get pregnant and quit.  But with the impending end of her career just on the horizon, they could actually plan for a baby if they wanted to.

;;MIKAH  â€œHow would you feel about starting a family?  For real this time?”

She reaches up and touches his face as he smiles down at her.  He leans his head into her hand before he smiles down at her.

::DRAKE  â€œI’d love it...just a week and a half longer, right?”

She nods her head and he leans down, pressing his lips against hers, kissing her firmly.  She couldn’t imagine what it was going to be like to have a family with him and she couldn’t wait.  She kisses him back, running her fingers through his hair as she does so.

;;MIKAH  â€œNot much longer…”

She pulls her own top off, smirking at him.

;;MIKAH  â€œHowever, we can do all the practicing we want right now…”

He smirks at her before he works her panties down her legs as his eyes stay connected with hers.  She smiles at him, wiggling a bit to help him remove her panties.

::DRAKE  â€œWe’re good at that.”

She smiles at him as he leans down and kisses her again, his lips against hers.  She tries to forget the dream or at least for the time being because her husband deserved her attention and her focus.  Every fiber of her being wanted to be there with him, and not lost in the past and what could have been.  She loved her husband, there was no doubt about that.

REC•

SATURDAY, JANUARY 6, 2017
11:30 A.M.

The room was dimly lit and had just one hanging lamp that was set over a stool.  On the walls were random pictures of previous matches of Mikah’s.  She walks into the picture and she sits down on the stool.  She was wearing a pair of distressed skinny jeans and her Bombshell Championship t-shirt that was new to SCW stores.  It was modified and showed her flat, toned stomach and her championship was slung neatly over her left shoulder.

;;MIKAH  â€œEight more days.”

She holds up eight fingers before looking at the camera.

;;MIKAH  â€œThere are only eight more days left until SCW closes its doors.”

She holds a solemn look on her pretty face as she sits there, carefully crossing one leg over the other.  She sits there in silence for a minute before she looks around.

;;MIKAH  â€œI have been apart of SCW since November of 2014.  That’s three years in this company.  Three years that I have been exclusive to the company and have not gone anywhere else.”

She holds up three fingers.

;;MIKAH  â€œThe only time I have been away from SCW was when I took time off.  But I didn’t go to another company, I stayed signed with SCW.  I didn’t go elsewhere because that is not who I am.”

She shakes her head no.

;;MIKAH  â€œBut do I ever get credit for being loyal to the company?”

She raises her eyebrows.

;;MIKAH  â€œNope.   Nobody ever brings up the fact that I’ve only been signed with SCW for the past three years or that I’ve never even looked elsewhere.  No, everybody in this company likes to talk about how I’m a bitch or how I didn’t deserve anything I ever achieved here in SCW.  Trying to discredit everything I did because they were jealous or they felt that they deserved what I had.  But why?  Why did any of them deserve what I had?”

She raises an eyebrow and shrugs her shoulders.

;;MIKAH  â€œNope. But you know, that’s not what this is about.  This is about the fact that this is going to be my last match.  Maybe ever.  But it is definitely my last match in SCW and I couldn’t imagine going out any other way.”

She smiles proudly at the camera.

;;MIKAH  â€œI’m walking into Full Circle as the reigning Bombshell Champion.  A feat I never thought I’d reach again because I just didn’t think I had another run in me but here I am, the Bombshell Champion once again.  And how fitting….”

She smirks, tilting her head to the side for a moment.

;;MIKAH  â€œHow fitting it is that I’m going into Full Circle as the Bombshell Champion and I will be leaving Las Vegas as the last Bombshell Champion the company’s ever seen.  I think that will work well and go along well with the fact that I am the Bombshell that holds the record for holding it the longest.  Almost 9 months and that is where the record is going to stay because I am the best Bombshell that SCW has seen.  I may not be in the Hall of Fame but I deserve to be.”

She smirks at the camera before shrugging her shoulders simply.

;;MIKAH  â€œBut let’s talk about my opponent….Amy Marshall.”

She rubs her lips together for a second, thinking.

;;MIKAH  â€œShe’s been in SCW longer than I have and has a longer list of matches than I have myself.  She is a decorated veteran in SCW and she is in the Hall of Fame.  A feat I will never get to achieve, even though I do believe that I deserve to be apart of such an elite team.”

She looks at her nails before looking back at the camera.

;;MIKAH  â€œBut since SCW is closing, clearly that is not something that is going to happen.  So I’m going to have to settle for walking out of the company with the Bombshell Championship in my hands.  Does Amy Marshall really think she’s going to be the one to dethrone me?  Because that’s more hilarious than Veronica Taylor thinking she’s smart.  Because it’s never going to happen for her.  Ever.”

She smirks arrogantly at the camera.

;;MIKAH  â€œNow I may understand why she wants to be the one to walk out of SCW as the last Bombshell Champion because that’s one hell of an accomplishment but does she really think that she can beat me?”

Mikah raises an eyebrow again.

;;MIKAH  â€œMaybe she should think back to when I was the Bombshell Champion the first time; I was untouchable for almost nine months.  The only person besides Sam Marlowe that could beat me was Roxi Johnson and that was because I was on the downhill slope of my championship run.”

She moves a bit, trying to find a more comfortable position on the stool.

;;MIKAH  â€œI still wish that I could avenge my loss to Roxi but however, I don’t think that’s going to happen.  Because I’m not about to go compete wherever she is.  Or if she’s even competing because I don’t keep up with people I don’t like.  And Amy Marshall?  She’s one of them I don’t particularly care for.”

She simply shrugs her shoulders.

;;MIKAH  â€œAmy used to star in porn.  But does anybody seem to care about that?  Nope, not at all.  Because she’s been here since 2012 and has done so much for the company.  And blah blah blah.  But do you think if that had been me that it wouldn’t have been used?”

She raises her eyebrows and puts her hands out to her sides.

;;MIKAH  â€œOf course it would because when it comes to me, most of the people in the back hold me to a double standard.  I can’t even drink in my personal time with it becoming a problem for my opponent.  I can barely do anything with my husband without that becoming scrutinized.  Or if I’m talking with my friend Chels, that too becomes scrutinized.  There is nothing that I can do that will make everybody happy, so keep holding me to that double standard because it seems to help me be the best Bombshell that I can be.”

She smirks again.

;;MIKAH  â€œAlso, Amy you probably should have stuck with the tag team wrestling because that seems to be all you’re good at lately.  However, your choice of a partner isn’t exactly….the best.  But on August 9, 2015, your partner wasn’t much help either, now were they?”

She smirks as she looks into the camera, that look in her eyes.

;;MIKAH  â€œDo you remember that date, Amy?  Do you know why that date has any importance to our match next Sunday?”

She pauses, as if she was actually waiting for Amy to respond.  She purses her lips together and to the side.

;;MIKAH  â€œNo?”

Again, she raises her eyebrows.

;;MIKAH  â€œWell, let me remind you, Amy.  On August 9th, you and Veronica Taylor teamed up against myself and Roxi Johnson.  Do you remember how that ended?”

Again with pretending like she was waiting for Amy’s answer.

;;MIKAH  â€œYou lost for your team.  I got the win for me and Roxi, not that Roxi was much help.”

Mikah rolls her eyes in sheer annoyance.

;;MIKAH  â€œI pinned you in the middle of the ring, Amy.  One...two...three.  And even though that was a tag team match, it counts as a loss for you.  It’s on your win-loss record for forever and you can’t erase it and it’s kind of a shame because I fucking hate tag team matches but yet, I managed to win that match.  How did that make you feel?  And then you had to deal with Keira Johnson attacking you after the match, which in hindsight was kind of hilarious even if Keira was or is mentally unstable.”

She chuckles before shrugging her shoulders.

;;MIKAH  â€œAnd then of course, there was the fatal four way number one contenders match that saw you, me, Mercedes Vargas, and Jessie Salco compete in.  Who won that match, Amy?”

She smirks again, the look more sinister than before.

;;MIKAH  â€œOh right, that was the first win that would jumpstart my career in SCW.  I then went on to win the Bombshell Championship from Raynin and hold it for a long, long nine months.  Do you ever wonder would have happened if you had been the one to win that match?”

She tilts her head to the side for a second.

;;MIKAH  â€œDo you ever wonder if the landscape of SCW would have been different if you had won?”

She smirks again.

;;MIKAH  â€œI think it would have been vastly different.  I do not think you could have beaten Raynin but then again, that would be hypocritical of me to say because everybody in the back didn’t think that I would have beaten Raynin for the championship.”

She shrugs her shoulders.

;;MIKAH  â€œThe whole company would have been different if I wouldn’t have won the championship from her.  But that didn’t happen because I did win and I set the bar for what should be acceptable for a Bombshell Champion.  I am still the measuring stick for what a Bombshell should want to be.  Not somebody like Amy Marshall.  Do you think Amy Marshall could have been the one to be the backbone for the Bombshell division for almost nine months?!  Do you think she would have even held the championship for a month?!  With her fucking track record, I highly doubt it.  However, she is no Mercedes Vargas though.  So she could have held it longer than she did.”

She just looks at the camera, a mischievous glint in her eyes.

;;MIKAH  â€œSometimes I feel as if a lengthy championship reign isn’t as important as multiple reigns or that’s how I think SCW feels because this championship has play hot potato since I lost it in February of 2016.  I have held the Bombshell Internet Championship as well.  A championship most people say that I didn’t care about but I defended it every time I was booked.  But apparently that wasn’t enough.  It was good enough for the scrubs in the back.”

She rolls her eyes and shrugs her shoulders.

;;MIKAH  â€œBecause nothing I ever do is good enough for those scrubs in the back.  They pick apart every little move that I make because they have nothing better to do with their lives and Amy Marshall is one of them.  Because why wouldn’t she be?  All of her friends like spouting off lies about me and my career, so why shouldn’t she?  Maybe she doesn’t think what they do but a lot of them are sheep and follow whoever seems to have the most popular opinion of the day but I’m not one of those people.”

She holds a sincere look on her face.

;;MIKAH  â€œI have been apart of two different groups here in SCW.  The first one was a complete and utter joke and I am glad that I made the decision to leave that group when I did because it wasn’t going anywhere because the leader wanted it to be all about him and I’m not about that.”

She shakes her head.

;;MIKAH  â€œThe second group I was apart of had all the potential in the world.  We had a lot of talent in that group but it was talent that never got pushed so where could we go?”

She shrugs her shoulders softly.

;;MIKAH  â€œI wanted that group to be successful because of who was in it.  But it didn’t but that is still apart of my career.  And I wouldn’t change it.  Are there things that you would change, Amy?  Things you’ve been apart of that you’d love to change?”

She slowly tilts her head to the side.

;;MIKAH  â€œYou have more accolades to your career.  To your name, Amy.  But you will never be better than I am.  You will never have done what I have in this company.  You might be a Grand Slam Champion but I am the best Bombshell Champion this company has seen.  You have only held this championship once before and I get it, you want to hold it another time but I’m not about to let some scrub like you take it from me.”

She moves her championship down into her lap and stares at it.  She doesn’t look up for a moment as she begins to talk again.

;;MIKAH  â€œThis is MY championship.  This championship is the reason we’re all in SCW, the reason we all compete and try to outdo one another in the ring and I ama not going to give it up.  I will do whatever it takes to ensure that I walk out of Las Vegas as the last ever Bombshell Champion.  I don’t think you should doubt me, either because I have done some things before that weren’t exactly…legal in a match to win.  This isn’t about my ego or my pride remaining intact, this is about me wanting something more than I’ve ever wanted in this company.”

She continues to look at the championship as if she was studying it and trying to burn the image into her brain.  She looks up at the camera, a serious look in her eyes.

;;MIKAH  â€œI’ve watched some of your matches, Amy.  And while I don’t agree with some of your choices that you’ve made, you’re decent in the ring.  But your dedication needs work.”

She pauses for a moment or two.

;;MIKAH  â€œBut being decent in the ring isn’t enough.  Not when it comes to facing me and some people might find that statement cocky, but it’s not if I can back it up.  And I have proven that I can back what I say up.  Can you Amy?  Can you honestly say that you can back up everything you have said?”

She raises an eyebrow.

;;MIKAH  â€œSince I won this championship, I have not lost a match.  I may have only held this championship for a little over two months, but I have won every match that they’ve thrown at me.  When I faced that weirdo, Alice Knight, I beat her too.  Fair and square.  When they gave Mercedes Vargas yet another rematch that she didn’t deserve, I beat her too.  Do I need to keep listing what I have done since holding this championship?  It doesn’t matter because everybody will focus on the things I haven’t done or the things that I’ve done on my time off.”

She rolls her eyes and takes a deep breath and slowly lets it out.

;;MIKAH  â€œI think you should be taking me seriously, Amy.  You should look at this match and think about how you can make yourself better because well, it’s the last time that you’re going to be in a SCW ring and the last opportunity you’re going to get for this championship.  You should cherish the fact that you actually won a challenge and halfway earned your right to face me at Full Circle.  You should be proud of yourself and pat yourself on the back because that’s a feat in itself.”

She smiles at the camera.

;;MIKAH  â€œHave you noticed something, Amy?  While I’ve been talking up our match and doing this…”

She moves her arms around.

;;MIKAH  â€œI have not brought up your marriage.  I have not brought up your husband or your personal life with him.  I would hope that you would do the same for me and my marriage to Drake Green but I’m sorry if I’m a little pessimistic about that happening.  It’s a fun topic for the Bombshells in SCW to talk about when they face me.  They love to pick apart my marriage but I’m not like them.  I believe our marriages shouldn’t be brought up.  Because what we do with the men we love is on us.  And it shouldn’t be used against us.  Or if we have an argument with them, it shouldn’t be used against us.  So consider this a gift to you, because I’m not going to stoop to their level.  Or possibly yours.”

She just smiles at the camera.

;;MIKAH  â€œI don’t know what you plan on doing after Full Circle is over and SCW’s doors are officially closed.  I don’t know if you’re going to a different company to compete or if you’re just going to enjoy married life but I do know that I’m going to just be with my husband and my daughter.  I’m looking forward to staying in one place for longer than a week at a time and I’m looking forward to letting my body get used to not taking bumps.  I hope that you have a plan because well, it will look pathetic if you don’t.”

She takes a deep breath and closes her eyes as she slowly lets it out.

;;MIKAH  â€œBut before either of us can do whatever it is we want to do, we have to get in the ring with one another.  We have to beat the shit out of one another because we both want this championship.  I want it more than you do and I’m better than you.  I’m not a nice person, Amy.  In that ring, I am not nice person.  I will make you you bleed through your mouth if I have to.  I will do whatever it takes to make sure that I walk out of that arena with this championship in my hands.”

She places her Bombshell Championship back on her shoulder and rubs the front plate, cleaning off a smudge.

;;MIKAH  â€œI’m not kidding when I say that, you know.  I may not have made any of my previous opponents bleed through their mouths but I will you.  This is my last chance to prove that I’m the best Bombshell that this company has to offer.  I know that you’re looking forward to Sunday but I can’t imagine that you’re looking forward to losing.  Because whether I pin you, or make you tap out like the bitch you are, it’s not going to happen for you.”

She stands up and adjusts her shirt.

;;MIKAH  â€œYou’re not facing the Mikah that was present in SCW a year ago, Amy.  You’re not facing the girl who couldn’t decide if she wanted to be a wrestler or if she wanted to be a movie star’s wife.  You’re facing the Mikah that is more focused than she’s ever been.  You’ve faced her before...in those two matches before but this time?  It’s a one on one match and there is nobody else that is going to help you lose or help you win.”

She smirks arrogantly at the camera.

;;MIKAH  â€œSo do whatever it is that you have to do to try to prepare for this match, Amy because in the end it’s not going to matter.  I’m going to prevail and going to hold the record for the longest Bombshell Championship reign and I’m going to hold the record for being the last ever Bombshell Champion.”

She adjusts her shirt.

;;MIKAH  â€œCiao.”

[Amy Marshall]

 Wednesday 3rd January 2018
Okazaki Jinja Shinto Shrine
Kyoto, Japan.

<Center></Center>

The scene opens outside the Shinto shrine, where we see Amy dressed in a traditional white kimono with Joey next to her wears a montsuki (black formal kimono), haori (kimono jacket), and hakama (kimono pants). They slowly walk down the covered walkway they followed by six people, who Amy had met a few times though wrestling and porn and she classed as friends.  In front of them a few members of the Shinto Shrines lead them towards the entrance of the shrine.

Entering the shrine, Amy and Joey are ushered to the front, where there is two chairs and a small table with a box on them as the priest waits for them but also Amy’s and Joeys guests who are ushered to their seats.   Amy and Joey sit down as the doors are closed, moments later the head priest gives Amy and Joey a blessing before giving a report to the Hachiman Deity about what is going to happen and request his blessing.

Once the blessing is complete, it is followed by a dance by the shrine maiden to please the deity and to ensure that they are in a good mood. Once the dancing is done… the priest approaches Joey and asks him take sips of sake, which he does, although with Amy providing a little help with what is being said.  The priest then asks Amy to sip the sake, which she does three times from three separate cups.

Once she and Joey finish sipping the sake, it was time for the groom’s pledge.

Joey: Our pledge is love and cherish each other and work together to ensure this marriage lasts.

Amy smiles and nods, knowing that Joey’s words at the alter during the wedding were much better.  Amy refocused as she and Joey then offered a ritual offering to the deity in the shape of branch of sacred tree decorated with paper strips.

Once the offering is taken, Amy and Joey were given the option of exchanging ring, but they declined as they were already wearing the ring they exchanged in the official ceremony at the Vintners Inn in Santa Rosa.  With that being skipped, it was time for the family and relatives toast, however, since there was a small group of friends… they would still toast them and help support them through thick and thin.

Once the toasts and formalities were complete, the ceremony was complete and from there Amy and Joey shared a kiss before taking the opportunity for a few photos for their album and for memories.

“Thank you for this.”

Amy says as she moves to the courtyard.

“Anything for you.”

The scene soon fades out with Amy moving to her Japanese friends and thanking them for coming and sharing their special moment.

9th January 2018
Las Vegas, NV
24hr Gym.

The scene opens inside a local gym, where we see Amy and Jessie sitting in the gym as they warm up for their possibly final gym session ever.  As the both stretched, Jessie began to query about Amy’s honeymoon.

“How was the honeymoon?”

Jessie asks as she stretched her legs.

“Amazing. I loved the ceremony in Kyoto and I loved Tokyo. You should really visit Japan not just for wrestling but the amazing sites.”

Amy suggested with a smile on her face.

“Hmmm maybe. I’m glad you enjoyed your honeymoon… marriage really suits you.  I must thank you for inviting me to the wedding.”

Jessie said with a smile.

“No problem.  After all you are a close friend.”

Amy smiles, as she moves to her feet with Jessie doing the same.

“How is the preparation going for your match against Mikah?”

Jessie asks as she moves to the weight rack and picks up some weights and begins to do a workout.

“To be honest… I am mentally ready… but I’m not so sure physically. Do you think adding new moves into my repertoire is a big mistake?”

Amy asks concerned, as she moves to the weights also and picks up just the one and begins to do squats.

“Absolutely not… you are wanting to grow and evolve and there is no better time to do that against Mikah.  You are not making any mistakes… just have to practice a lot.”

Jessie said giving reassurance to Amy.

“How about you… are you ready to become Miss Sin City Wrestling?”

“As ready as I can possibly be. But anything can happen in this match especially with Raynin and Mercedes in this match.”

Jessie said keep her visions straight ahead in the mirror.
“You can beat them.  We can walk out of Sin City Wrestling with our heads held high even if we do lose because we were part of the biggest and greatest wrestling company in the country.”

Amy said adjusting her stance and continues her workout.

“Would be awesome to walk out with titles to our names and make history.”

Jessie said with a glint in her eye.

“Definitely… but to do that… we will need to workout hard. Let focus and after we can find something to eat and talk and catch up some.”

Amy said with a smile.

“Sure.”

Jessie nodded, as the scene soon fades out on Amy and Jessie working out as they prepare to face the biggest battles of their career.

12th January 2018
Vlog

It’s scary that there are only a few days left of my Sin City Wrestling career… I’ve had so many memories good and bad in this place it’s crazy, especially considering I never thought in a million years that I would be so successful in becoming a grand slam champion and a hall of famer. Now I am not going to think about what is going to happen next… I am going to think about this Sunday and how I am going to walk away as the NEW and FINAL Bombshell Champion of Sin City Wrestling.

But to do this… I will have to prize it away from Mikah hands.

Now Mikah…  after watching your promo, I have a slight indication that you think that you should have everything handed to you onto a silver platter... that you are better than everyone else... and your above everyone else... kind of reminds me of the mean girls. It’s sad that you think that you never ever contemplated leaving the company and that you are 100% committed to Sin City Wrestling.

BULL FUCKING SHIT!

Can I remind you of this little incident....

Mikah: You know, I forgot to talk about you before Devona. And some people would like to say that I just forgot but I didn't forget. Not even once because who forgets such a .... typical champion like you? Or a handpicked favourite like you? That's right nobody. However, I thought I would save this for right before our match. You think that you deserve that championship because you beat me fair and square. And yes, you did but did you ever think that I didn't want the championship anymore? I know you don't like to think I let you win because well, you're too proud to think it. But I've been saying that I was thinking about letting you win for weeks and it finally happened at Violent Conduct. It may not have seemed that way but I'm not going to make it easy for you because my fans don't deserve that. But they do deserve a handpicked favourite like you. So, there's not going to be a match between us tonight, Devon. Because I'm not coming to the ring because I'm not wasting my time with such a petty, insignificant championship or a small, insignificant person who believes they're worth more than what they are. So, have fun standing in the middle of the ring, Devona and looking like an idiot. I'm leaving to go back to my husband. Ciao.

So much for commitment there.... basically, you threw a big tantrum because you did get what you wanted and left the show and went back to Drake… in Chicago.

You are so full of shit its unbelievable.

You aren’t entitled to anything... you damn well know that you have to earn stuff... just like you earnt the title shot Bombshell championship the first time you captured it.... just like I did at Climax Control 200. Which also reminds me... you aren’t going get that little grand slam accolade because…

Mikah: Fuck tag team wrestling.

This is why that grand slam accolade will haunt your fucking dreams for the rest of your life... you will wish you had won the tag team titles but nope you said fuck it and opted to stick with single titles.

It’s also that fact that no one wanted to tag with you... harsh but true. The only female friend you had left so bang goes that chance.

Sucks to be you eh Mikah…. But this hard done by act you need to drop. Nobody gossiped about you… I certainly didn’t… nobody cared about who you drank with or even if you drank… nobody cared about your friend. I certainly didn’t care if you drank or not who you hung out with because we never had to face each other properly.

You may have fond memories of that tag team match… but that was tag team action… and perhaps a scary night for me as I was worried that my ankle was broken and damaged and couldn’t finish off beating Roxi in our little feud.  Instead I remembered the little battle royal we had those few years ago, which you were successful then. But as I stated in my last promo that we never truly come face to face in singles action.

So I don’t care what you did then… but I do care what you do now.

As long as you turn up Sunday night and not have a tantrum or cry off because you are too scared about the possibility of losing… then we are good. But the thing is Mikah you can keep going on about the past and what could have been and what have been etc… etc… but I want to focus on the now and focus on the future as in Sunday.

I worked hard in this company… i fought everyone that was put in front of me, I never backed down from a challenge and I never quit any match no matter how bad the beat down was.  I did the impossible when I beat Delia for the Bombshell Championship and I can do it again… I will walk out of this match champion and there is nothing you can do.

I work hard inside the gym and outside the gym day in and day out… I am 100% focused on taking this title. It’s perhaps no secret that I have made alterations to my move set and you have no doubt found ways to combat these moves… but I don’t care because its my final match in Sin City Wrestling and I am going to do everything in my power to take the Bombshell championship away from you and claim it as my own. Sunday night will go down in history as not only the final Sin City Wrestling show, but I will be walking out as the final Bombshell Champion.

See you Sunday and good luck.

[Mikah]

MONDAY, JANUARY 8, 2018
2:45 P.M.

She pushes her hair out of her face as she walks into the bedroom from downstairs and looks up to see her husband lounging on their bed.   She smiles at him before walking over to the open suitcase that was sitting at the end of the bed.   She puts the clothes that she had brought upstairs with her in the suitcase before walking into her walk in closet and comes back out and puts more clothes into the suitcase as Drake watches her from the bed.

::DRAKE   “Where are you going this time?”

Mikah looks over at him and offers him a smile.

;;MIKAH   “Vegas.   That’s where the last show of SCW is and well, I’m hoping that you will come with me to Vegas so we can spend some time together there again.”

He raises an eyebrow before looking at her suitcase.   She smiles at him as she walks back into the closet and pulls at her jeans a bit as she does so.   Drake watches her until her figure disappears into the closet completely.

::DRAKE   “I’ve been to Vegas with you several times, babe.   What more can we do?”

Mikah grabs a few dresses and then some shoes before walking back out into the bedroom.   She gives him a smile as she puts the clothes in the suitcase along with the shoes.   Drake watches her, his eyes never leaving her.

;;MIKAH   “I know, but this is the last time for a while and I just thought you’d enjoy it.   Or you’d be the loving, caring supportive husband that I know that you are.”

She winks at him.   He smiles at her and watches as she walks into their bathroom.   He leans back as she gathers her things that she would need for the bathroom in Vegas.   She places them in a zip up bag that would ensure nothing would spill out before walking back into the bedroom and putting the items in the front zipper part of the suitcase.   She looks over at Drake and tilts her head to the side before pouting her bottom lip out before walking over to him and easily climbing onto the bed and straddling his lap.

;;MIKAH   “Go with me.   Come on…”

His hands instantly go to her hips and he looks at her as his fingers play with the waistband of her jeans.

::DRAKE   “Why?”

She looks at him and pouts her bottom lip out at him once more.

;;MIKAH   “Because you love me…”

He smiles at her before leaning in and kissing her softly on her lips.   She smiles and kisses him back and pouts when he pulls away.

::DRAKE   “I do love you…”

She smiles at him before leaning into him and pressing her lips firmly against his, kissing him once more.   He smiles at her and she smiles back.

;;MIKAH   “It’ll be fun.   Plus, if you’re really serious about us having a baby together, it could be our last little vacation before we have to prepare for a little baby.”

She wiggles her eyebrows at him and he chuckles before running his hands up her sides.

;;MIKAH   “Plus, don’t you want to be around for the last show for Sin City Wrestling?”

Her eyes peer into his bright baby blue eyes and he just shrugs his shoulders as he starts to remove her shirt.

::DRAKE   “I don’t know…”

Mikah sighs and leans back a bit but lets him take her shirt off, revealing her lacy purple bra.   His eyes go to the clothing item and he runs his hands over the cups of her bra.

;;MIKAH   “It is where we met, you know…”

Drake nods his head, his hands sliding around to her back to possibly unhook her bra.   She bites her bottom lip, her eyes on him as he takes her bra off of her.

;;MIKAH   “If it hadn’t been for SCW, we wouldn’t have met.   We wouldn’t have fallen in love and we wouldn’t be married right now.   They are the reason there is even an us.”

He doesn’t appear to be listening to her as he looks at her, his eyes on her topless form.   She frowns at him and crosses her arms over them, covering them from his view.   He looks at her, a smirk on his face and she shakes her head at him a little bit.

;;MIKAH   “Dra-ake!   Listen, I’m serious.   I want you to come to Vegas with me.   And not just for SCW, for me as your wife not wanting to go there alone.   Please.”

Drake sighs as he tries to playfully tug his wife’s arms away from her chest to see what she was hiding.   She doesn’t let him and he sighs before looking at her.

::DRAKE   “Fine, I’ll go to Vegas with you.   But first…”

He smirks and pushes her off of him and onto the bed, moving on top of her, hovering above her a bit.   She looks up at him, biting on the corner of her bottom lip as he pushes her hands away from her chest, revealing it to him.   She smiles at him before squirming a bit to get comfortable.

;;MIKAH   “First….this?   We could join the mile high club instead…”

She winks at him and he leans down and places a kiss on her exposed collarbone.   She closes her eyes and relishes in the feeling of her husband’s lips against her soft, supple skin.   She couldn’t imagine that she’d ever love him as much as she did.   She couldn’t have imagined that two years ago when they first hooked up in secrecy that it would lead to this, a marriage where they loved each other and were almost always on the same page.

::DRAKE   “We can do that too.   There’s enough of me to go more than once.”

He winks at her and she can’t help but to blush as if she was a teenager.   She leans up and captures his lips in a kiss and he smirks against her lips, kissing her back.

;;MIKAH   “I’ve always wanted to join the mile high club…”

He grins at her as he works her jeans down her legs, moving himself just enough so that he could without it being awkward.   She smiles up at him.

::DRAKE   “Let’s do it then…”

She nods her head, agreeing with him.

;;MIKAH   “Okay.   Today, when we get on the airplane…”

He nods his head, dipping his head down to plant kisses on her body.   She relaxes a bit, trying not to think about the weekend that was coming.

LATER THAT AFTERNOON IN LAS VEGAS.

They had already checked into their hotel room at the Bellagio and Mikah was scouting out the mini bar already but hadn’t decided on anything.   Drake was in the bathroom and Mikah wanted to hurry him along.   She enjoyed being in Vegas and couldn’t wait to go somewhere that would entertain her.

;;MIKAH   “Babe, are you almost done in there!?   I want to go to New York New York!”

She hears him mumble something but she couldn’t quite make out what he was saying.   She just shrugs her shoulders before pulling her phone out and sending a text to Alphonso.   She did not do Cabs or Uber drivers very well and since it was the last show and she most likely wouldn’t be needing Alphonso for a while, she wanted to make sure he would get paid that would last him until he found a job for somebody else.

;;MIKAH   “Babe!   Seriously!”

She walks over to the door and has her hand up to knock on it when he opens the door, a smirk on his face.   She sighs and offers him a smile.

::DRAKE   “Somebody’s impatient today.”

She shrugs her shoulders and leans in and kisses his cheek before stepping back.

;;MIKAH   “I just want to get there.   Is that wrong?”

He shrugs his shoulders at her and he makes sure he has his wallet and his key card in his back pocket before he takes her hand so they can go.

::DRAKE   “What’s even in New York New York?”

She smiles at him as they walk out of their suite and head in the direction of the elevators.   She has a skip to her step as she walks and she looks at him, studying the side of his face.

;;MIKAH   “The Hershey Store is there…And there’s a roller coaster…”

She wrinkles her nose at him as they press the down button on the elevator and wait patiently.   She moves closer to him and wraps an arm around his waist and rests her head against his shoulder.

;;MIKAH   “I am so glad you agreed to come to Vegas with me, babe.”

She leans up and kisses him full on the lips as the elevator doors open.   Some people walk out and Drake pushes her inside, still kissing her and presses the casino button before pushing her up against the wall.   She giggles against his lips as his hands slide up the front of her torso, feeling her up against the wall of the elevator as it moves.

::DRAKE   “Never done it on an elevator either…”

;;MIKAH   “You are so naughty.”

She giggles but he pulls away when the doors open at the casino and he straightens himself out, grabs his wife’s hand, and leads them out of the elevator.   She just smiles confidently at the people they pass.

;;MIKAH   “Alphonso is gonna take us up to New York New York.   I would walk but my heels would kill my feet and I like them too much to break them.”

Drake shakes his head as they wind themselves through the people before following the signs that lead to the front of the Bellagio.

::DRAKE   “Tomorrow you’re wearing tennis shoes so we can walk, deal?”

He looks at her and she smiles and nods her head, agreeing with him.   She didn’t mind walking but she also enjoyed dressing up and well, tennis shoes didn’t go with the black, short dress she was wearing.

;;MIKAH   “Okay. Jeans and tennis shoes it is, captain.”

She mock salutes him as they walk through the turn about doors and she smiles when she sees Alphonso waiting patiently for them.   She smiles at the bellhops before she is the one tugging Drake in the direction of the limousine.

;;MIKAH   “Thank you, Alphonso.   Take us to New York New York, please.”

He nods his head as he opens the door for them to climb into the back of the limousine.   Mikah smiles at Drake as they get comfortable.   Mikah immediately grabs two glasses and puts three cubes of ice in each and makes them a drink.

;;MIKAH   “To Vegas.   And my last week of wrestling.”

They clink their glasses together as Alphonso begins to drive.   Mikah moves closer to her husband, leaning into him as they sip on the alcohol.   She relaxes a bit, trying to rid herself of the nerves that were riddled up inside of her.

::DRAKE   “Calm down, babe.   You’re going to win on Sunday, Amy’s got nothing on you.”

He kisses the top of her head.

;;MIKAH   “I know that.   I’m not nervous about that.   I’m nervous about what comes after, you know.   The unknown has always been terrifying for me.   And now that we actually have the opportunity to actually have a baby, what happens if we can’t have one?   What if...what if I’ve messed my body up that I can’t have another baby?   Your baby?!”

She looks at him, the worries that she was voicing in her eyes.   He smiles at her and tucks her hair behind her ear.

::DRAKE   “You’re thinking too much, babe.   You’ll be able to have another baby, I promise. You had no problem getting pregnant with Leighton, this won’t be any different.   Your body will get used to not being knocked around in a ring and will probably feel better.   Don’t worry about the unknown, you have me to help you wade through it.”

She smiles at him and leans up and kisses him again.   Somehow, he knew exactly what to say to her.

;;MIKAH   “I can’t wait to have your baby.”

She grabs his hand and slides it onto her flat, toned stomach.

;;MIKAH   “I can’t wait to feel him or her grow inside of me and I can’t wait for you to feel him or her kick.”

She looks into his eyes, the sincerity in her voice and in her eyes.   He rubs her stomach a little and leans down and kisses her again.   She leans more into him, enjoying the feeling of his lips against hers.

::DRAKE   “You’ll be amazing.”

She smiles again.

;;MIKAH   “You are amazing.”

He finishes his drink before setting it down and she does the same as they sit back up in their seats, waiting to arrive at New York New York.   They sit in silence.   It was a comfortable silence and not a tense one that sometimes happened when Mikah felt anxious.   She grabs his hand and links her fingers with hers, smiling at him once more.

;;MIKAH   “I love you.”

::DRAKE   “I love you too.”

TUESDAY, JANUARY 9, 2017
10:00   A.M.

The room had two soft cushioned red chairs chairs and a small table in between them with a lamp behind the table to light the room up.   On the small table was a vase of brightly colored flowers to brighten up the rooms with some color.   Two bodies are seen walking into the camera’s frame and one takes a seat on the left and the other on the right.   On the left, is Mikah, the SCW Bombshell Champion and on the right is her assistant, Ruby Appleton.   Ruby hadn’t been seen on SCW television in over two years and it was a surprise to see her there, with notecards in her hands.   She was wearing a pair of black leggings and grey boots that she’d paired with a burgandy t-shirt like dress with a grey leather vest.   Her red hair was styled in beautiful curls around her face and her thin framed black glasses were sitting perfectly on her face. Mikah on the other hand was sporting a skin tight, short red dress with black louboutin stiletto heels.   Her long legs were on display and her cleavage was there too.   Originally, she hated the color red but it worked for Vegas.

⌂⌂RUBY   “Welcome Mikah and hello to the Sin City Wrestling universe.   I am the Bombshell Champion, Mikah’s personal assistant and I am going to be asking her some questions about SCW today and her upcoming match against Amy Marshall.   Mikah, welcome.”

Mikah looks a bit perplexed but smiles at Ruby none the less.

;;MIKAH “Thanks for doing this for me, Ruby.   I couldn’t have found a better person for the job other than you.   So, thank you for doing this and for being there for me for almost my entire SCW career.”

Ruby smiles appreciatively at the blonde bombshell before clearing her throat and straightening up the cards.

⌂⌂RUBY   “Shall we just dive right in, Mikah?”

Ruby looks to the blonde bombshell and Mikah takes a breath before slowly nodding her head.

;;MIKAH “Let’s get to it then.   Why make small talk?”

She shrugs her shoulders before carefully crossing her right leg over her left leg.   She turns her body just so that she’s half way facing Ruby and half way facing the camera.

⌂⌂RUBY   “You started your career in Sin City Wrestling on November 11, 2014.   Your first match was against Cynthia Warren.   Do you remember that match?”

Mikah tilts her head to the side, thinking back or at least trying to think back to when Ruby was talking about.

;;MIKAH “Vaguely.   I remember I was a ball of nerves because even though I had been in the wrestling business for seven years at that point, it was my first match ever in SCW and well, the first match always sets a tone for how the management is   going to see you.   I remember I won the match but it also didn’t seem like Cynthia really cared about being in that match.   It didn’t seem to me that she really wanted to win that match.   But I did.   I wanted to prove how good I was and how good I am.   And here I am, three years later.”

She beams proudly at the camera, a slightly arrogant look in her eyes.

⌂⌂RUBY   “Now when you first joined SCW, you were aligned in a group with three other men: Andrew Watts, Alex Kaelin, and your ex husband, Gavin Stephens.   How do you think that impacted   your career?   Do you think it helped you or do you think it was a big mistake on your part?”

She takes a deep breath and slowly lets it out.

;;MIKAH “Obviously it happened and it’s been dead and over for three years almost to the day.   But I don’t think it helped my career in SCW.   Because Andrew Watts wanted it to be all about him and he wanted Alex, Gavin, and myself to take a back seat to him.   He thought his talent should have been showcased more than the rest of us and well, when you have an ego that big, there’s not enough room for three other egos, no matter the size of the others’.   And I don’t know if it hurt my career, per se, but I wouldn’t view it in a good way.   I do think it’s a mistake now.   However, they are the reason I ever came to SCW.”

She shrugs her shoulders at the truth.

⌂⌂RUBY   “How do you think it felt for them when both you and Gavin took a break?   You were gone from February of 2015 until April of 2015.   That’s two months, almost two and a half months.   How do you think your absence impacted the group?”

Ruby looks to Mikah and Mikah takes a deep breath and slowly lets it out.   It was a loaded question or it at least felt like one.   She had taken a long break.

;;MIKAH “I don’t know, really.   Both Gavin and I had voice our opinions at the time, stating that we wanted out of the group but Watts didn’t want to hear it.   So we took it upon ourselves and took a break and that was how it fell.   Clearly they didn’t have any problems because they tried to recruit other members to the group.   Andrew Watts just couldn’t let it go and do his own thing.   The break helped me though, it helped me gain a clear head and a view of what I wanted to do in the company.   So while it might have been not-so-good for them, it was good for me.”

She simply shrugs her shoulders.

⌂⌂RUBY   “When you came back in April, you seemed to have a fresh view on the company and you took the company by storm.   Nobody could have predicted what you were going to do in the Bombshell division.   Because how could they?   When you had taken your break, you had seemed unfocused and it seemed as if you were done with wrestling but when you returned, you had a new sense of passion for the business.   What do you think happened in those two months that you took off?   Why do you think that when you returned, you were able to take the Bombshells division by storm?”

Ruby looks over at Mikah and Mikah takes a deep breath and she slowly lets it out through her lips.

;;MIKAH “Honestly?   I don’t know what changed.   Maybe I just needed that break.   Or maybe I actually felt like I needed to prove myself.   I wasn’t tied down in a faction that was all about Andrew Watts and I could just be who I was always meant to be.   I could prove myself to the bosses that I was capable of being a worthy Bombshell and a worthy contender for that Bombshell Championship.   And it was just like a fire ignited inside of me and I was able to climb to the top of the mountain and take the championship from Raynin.   It wasn’t something I had planned either.   I hadn’t gone to Mark or Christian and asked for that opportunity in that fatal four way match.   I didn’t ask for that and when I saw the line up for that card, it was a shock to me too.   Most people think I asked for the shot or sucked Mark Ward’s dick to get that shot in the fatal four way number one contender’s match but I didn’t.   I didn’t even know that they were planning to give me that opportunity because I had just come back from a two month hiatus.   But they must have saw something in me that I didn’t, because they booked the match and I won it.   Then the next week, I won the Championship from Raynin.”

She smiles at the memory and at the feeling that she had felt when she had won her first Bombshell Championship.

⌂⌂RUBY   “How did it feel to win that match against Raynin?”

A dreamy sort of look slides into Mikah’s eyes as she thinks about it.

;;MIKAH “It felt...nothing like I’d ever felt before.   I don’t know how to describe the feeling but it was amazing.   And to prove everybody in the back that I could do what they said I couldn'tt?   That was an even better feeling.   Raynin is not an easy Bombshell to beat, either but I did it and I felt like I was on top of the world that nothing could knock me down.   It was so surreal that I was the face of the company’s Bombshell division.   Of course, there were still the people that said it was just a fluke win and that I would go on to lose it back to Raynin at the next Super Card.   But there’s always those people; they’re always there.”

She shrugs her shoulders loosely.

⌂⌂RUBY   “But you didn’t lose it to Raynin at Into the Void IV: Arabian Nights, did you?”

Mikah smiles and shakes her head.

;;MIKAH “Nope, I retained.   That was maybe the first time that some people were starting to realize just what I could do in that ring.   Not everybody was on board, because well, they don’t like change but they were starting to see it.”

She beams proudly at the camera and over at Ruby.

⌂⌂RUBY   “Would you say that your first Bombshell Championship reign, set the pace for the rest of your career in SCW?”

Ruby holds a look on her face that was unreadable.

;;MIKAH “Oh most definitely.   You don’t go onto hold the championship for a record breaking 267 days and it not set the pace for your career.   But that first reign, it’s always going to be the thing that set the pace for my career.   Always   And sometimes that’s not a good thing, either..”

She shrugs her shoulders as Ruby raises an eyebrow.

⌂⌂RUBY   “How is that not a good thing?   I would think that holding that record is something that should make you feel good about yourself and your talent.”

Ruby looks to Mikah and Mikah shrugs her slender shoulders.

;;MIKAH “It’s daunting.   Like, there’s always this pressure on you to perform at the same level that you did when you were achieving such a record.   I know that’s silly of me to think that way but that’s how I felt every single time that I competed in a ring after I lost the Bombshell Championship.   I felt that f I didn’t win, I was letting somebody down.   But there was a time that I just….I just didn’t care about the company.   I didn’t care about competing and I didn’t care about how I looked in the bosses’ eyes.   I was going through some stuff and I just didn’t care.   I think Mark and Christian knew that too and were slightly disappointed but they never asked me about it or pressured me about it either.   But you know, things happen.”

Another shrug rolls off of her shoulders.

⌂⌂RUBY   “Let’s talk about the months that led up to the end of your Bombshell Championship reign.   There were accusations of you drinking on the job and being drunk when competing.   Is there any truth to that at all?”

Mikah shakes her head no.

;;MIKAH “Absolutely not.   And I don’t care if they don’t believe me, because that’s their prerogative but I wouldn’t endanger people’s lives like that.   Would I lead them to believe that I did?   Of course, it’s all about manipulation and how you can get ahead in the game.   I was getting all the attention I could and I was very good at twisting things I did to make it appear as if I was drinking when I was booked in a match.   But I never was.   I did drink backstage at the Climax Controls that I wasn’t booked in a match.   And I caused nobody any harm.   But the strike the petty little skanks had will have most people think differently.”

She smirks a little at Ruby.

⌂⌂RUBY “If you could pinpoint the moment when you knew that your reign was on a downward spiral, when would you say it was?”

Ruby looked over at Mikah.   Mikah was quiet, the silence filling the space between them for a minute or so.

;;MIKAH   “Definitely my match against Roxi Johnson in January.   It was my last match before My Bloody Valentine and the last match before I stepped into the ring with Sam Marlowe.   I just felt so much immense pressure to be perfect in the match.   And it was the same show where I think the tramps went on strike or at least threatened to.   So, there was a lot going on in my head when I actually stepped into the ring with Sam Marlowe.”

Mikah smiles at Ruby.

⌂⌂RUBY “Do you think that the fact that Gavin had asked for a divorce at about that time had anything to do with your loss to Sam Marlowe?”

Mikah frowns but shakes her head no.

;;MIKAH   “No.   My marriage to Gavin Stephens was over way before we actually filed divorce.   I couldn’t stay with a man who didn’t support his wife.   Or deal with the fact that his wife was better than him.   It never would have worked out.   So the divorce had nothing to do with my loss to Sam Marlowe because my marriage was over before it was officially over.”

Mikah just simply shrugs her slender shoulders.

⌂⌂RUBY “Why do you think you lost to Sam Marlowe?”

Mikah again takes a deep breath, the question not seeming to rattle her but she does take a moment or two to respond.

;;MIKAH   “Honestly?   I think I was just ready to be done with being the top Bombshell.   I just didn’t want to deal with that insane amount of pressure I felt every time that I stepped into the ring.   It got in my head and I just couldn’t shake it out.   So I wanted to give it up and I wanted to just be able to breathe without worrying.   I didn’t know my whole World would crash down around me in the following week.”

She tries to hide the emotional pain that she was sure was written on her face but she didn’t seem to do it well.

⌂⌂RUBY “What happened just a few short days after My Bloody Valentine?”

Mikah just looks down at her lap, wringing her hands in her lap.

;;MIKAH   “My best friend died of an overdose.   I’d like to say it was an accidental overdose but I don’t know.   He had a problem with drugs and...I...I wasn’t there to make...sure of anything.”

She reaches up and brushes a tear away and closes her eyes, not wanting the other tears that were threatening to spill out slip down her cheeks.
⌂⌂RUBY “Do you think that’s why you didn’t care about your career for a few months after My Bloody Valentine and why you didn’t want your slated rematch?”

Mikah looks at Ruby and shrugs her shoulders.

;;MIKAH   “I don’t know.   Probably.   Christian Othniel was the best person I had in my life.   He was there for me before anybody.   He supported me in every decision I made except for in my marriage to Gavin Stephens.   He had tried to warn me that Gavin was trouble and that he was a douchebag but I wouldn’t listen to what he was saying.   However, his death impacted me for months.   It took me a long time to want to do better-to be better.”

She shrugs her shoulders and takes a deep breath, trying to relax.

⌂⌂RUBY “In July of 2016, you married Drake Green on board the cruise ship that SCW hosts their annual Summer XXXtreme show.   How did that feel?”

Mikah smiles and looks at Ruby.

;;MIKAH   “It was amazing, really it was.   I never imagined that I would’ve enjoyed such a fancy wedding but it was great.   I never imagined that just six months after my divorce, I’d have been a married woman again.   It was probably one of the best things to come from being apart of this company; meeting my husband.   This company has done some great things for people and given so many people opportunities that they might not have gotten in other companies but for me?   The best thing that SCW did for me was to introduce me to my current husband.   I could never thank them enough for them.”

Ruby smirks a little bit.

⌂⌂RUBY “But you didn’t really like Drake when you first met him, did you?”

Mikah chuckles to herself and shakes her head no.

;;MIKAH   “That’s true.   Drake and I didn’t quite get on the same page for a while.   It was about four months but there was always that sexual tension between us.   Anytime that we were around each other or doing something for the show together, it was there and finally, we couldn’t deny it and well, here we are. We’ve almost been married for a year and a half and things couldn’t be better.   We’re actually thinking about starting a family after SCW closes its doors.”

It didn’t seem to surprise Ruby.   But Ruby was one of those on the inside of Mikah’s life; she knew what Mikah was thinking about for the next step of her life.

⌂⌂RUBY “Let’s fast forward a little bit.   Let’s fast forward to March when you won the Bombshell Internet Championship from Polly Playtime.   Was that something you actually wanted?   Or did they just book you in the tournament?”

Mikah shrugs her shoulders.

;;MIKAH   “I don’t know.   I didn’t ask for it but it happened.   I was the Bombshell Internet Championship for a good solid six months.   I think that’s a decent reign for a championship that is not considered a top tier Title.   And I know, a lot of people weren’t expecting me to hold that very long and will say that I wasn’t a worthy champion and blah blah blah.   But yet, I held it for that long.   I did everything that was asked of me.   And I chose when I wanted to lose the championship.   Do you think I would have let Devona beat me if I didn’t want her to?   No.   I wanted rid of that championship so I could set my focus on the Bombshell Championship.   I wanted it back.   I needed it back, so the Bombshell Internet Championship had to go.   And Devona seemed like a worthy opponent to give it to.   But look how that turned out.   It’s whatever, I clearly don’t care about that championship anymore because I have my baby back.”

She shrugs her shoulders.

⌂⌂RUBY “How did you feel when Mark Ward told you that you couldn’t just have a shot at the championship?   Especially when so many other Bombshells were just granted shots that you were not given?”

Mikah smirks at Ruby.

;;MIKAH   “I didn’t actually want them to just hand me the match, Ruby.   I wanted them to put me in a number one contender’s match because that’s how it should be.   I wanted to be able to say that I actually fought for my right to face the champion.   And I can.   I can honestly say that I earned my shot against Mercedes Vargas on October 29th.   And here I am, still the Bombshell Champion.   I won that match and I won the rematch she believes she deserved.   But did she really deserve it? She didn’t earn the shot at my championship in the first place.   Well, it wasn’t mine when she had the shot but still.   She never earned any of the opportunities she got for this belt.   It’s like there was a parade and Mark and Christian were just throwing opportunities out right and left like they were candy.   Tell me one match that Jessie Salco actually earned.   ONE match for the Bombshell Championship that she actually fucking deserved. You can’t.   So don’t even try.”

She rolls her eyes a bit before looking over at Ruby.

⌂⌂RUBY “Why did you want the championship back, Mikah?”

Mikah meets Ruby’s eyes and she raises her eyebrows.

;;MIKAH   “Because.   It was time to show them and everybody else that the championship isn’t just a toy you pass around at a party.   It’s something that deserves honor and none of those girls in the back seemed to be able to handle it.   Do you actually think that Petty Polly handled being the Bombshell Champion well?   She is a bigger joke than Mercedes Vargas when it comes to being the Bombshell Champion.   It was also time to prove that I am the best Bombshell in the company.   The best bombshell that they have employed and I’m going to prove it on Sunday.”
Ruby smiles at her boss before she moves to get comfortable in her spot.

⌂⌂RUBY “How do you feel about SCW closing its doors?   Before we get to Amy Marshall.”

Mikah hesitates because it was hard to put into words.   She wasn’t sure how she could put what she felt into words.

;;MIKAH   “It’s bittersweet.   It’s the first place I have felt at home in since the IRX.   I have not felt this way anywhere else.   It’s hard to put into words because they didn’t have to take a chance on me.   They were the ones that pushed me to be the star that I am today.   Or at least, the star I am in SCW.   Do I think that this success can travel into some other company?   Most likely but I still owe it to them because they gave me the right set of mind.   Them closing their doors is like a family walking away and it will be hard for a while.   It will be hard remembering that I don’t have to book a hotel on the west coast somewhere or somewhere in Las Vegas but I think it will be okay.   Maybe SCW will be back one day.   Who knows.”

She shrugs her shoulders, smiling at the camera.

⌂⌂RUBY “Amy Marshall is your opponent on Sunday.   How do you feel about that?”

Mikah pauses, pursing her lips together.

;;MIKAH   “At least she earned her shot.   She had to compete in a number one contenders match just like I had to for my first match.   It’s not like this match is out of the blue and doesn’t make sense because it does make sense.   It’s a good last match to have for the Bombshell Championship.   Amy and I have never stepped foot in the ring with one another.   In a one-on-one match, that is.   It is something that the fans haven’t seen and it will be a good match to send them home with for the final time.”

She looks at Ruby before looking at the camera.

⌂⌂RUBY “How do you think Amy is handling the match?   It’s just in a few short days...”

She again shrugs her shoulders.

;;MIKAH   “I don’t know how she’s preparing for the match.   I’m sure she is taking it just as seriously as I am because this is the very last match for my Bombshell Championship.   I’m sure she is doing everything in her power to try to ensure that it goes home with her but it’s not going to happen.   I don’t hate to be the bearer of bad new but the Bombshell Championship is not going to be leaving my grasp.   I am going to be the last Bombshell Champion that Sin City Wrestling sees.   Why?   Because I deserve it more than Amy Marshall does.   She only wants it so she can add it to her pitiful list of accomplishments.   I want it because I’ve held this championship since October 29th and I vowed to go a year without losing it but I’m not going to get that chance so this, this is the next best thing.”

She takes a deep breath and slowly lets it out again.

⌂⌂RUBY “Have you watched Amy Marshall’s promo from last week yet?”

Mikah smirks and slowly nods her head.

;;MIKAH   “Yes, I have.”

Ruby raises an eyebrow as she sets the cards down on the table.

⌂⌂RUBY “And what did you think?   What were your thoughts after watching it?”

Mikah has a blank look on her face for a moment before shrugging again.

;;MIKAH   “She’s all talk and she thinks that my marriage has something to do with the match when it has nothing to do with it.   Her opinion of mine and Drake’s marriage is nothing because it means nothing to me.   She doesn’t matter and she will never matter when it comes to me and Drake.   The problem I have with her little...”

She uses her fingers as quotation marks.

;;MIKAH   “Promo is that she had the audacity to compare me to the likes of Veronica Taylor.   Like what even?   It doesn’t even make sense to compare me to Veronica Taylor because unlike Veronica Taylor, I can actually win matches and I have a brain.   Does she think that I don’t have a brain?   Because she is sadly mistaken. Veronica Taylor has to resort to cheating to win, I do not have to cheat to win and I’m going to prove to Amy on Sunday when I beat her cleanly that cheating is not the only tool I have in my arsenal.”

She smirks before looking over at Ruby.

⌂⌂RUBY “She said that she Delia Darling when it counted.   Is that something that you wished that you could do?”

Mikah raises an eyebrow over at Ruby.

;;MIKAH   “Beat Delia?”

She looks over at Ruby and Ruby nods her head and looks back at Mikah.   Mikah raises an eyebrow.

;;MIKAH   “No.   I think that Delia Darling was talented when she was focused but when Amy Marshall beat her, she beat her when Delia wasn’t focused.   She wasn’t the same Delia that took the Bombshell division by the throat, she was a shell of her former self when she and Amy stepped into the ring.   So how much does Amy Marshall’s win over Delia count?   Because if I was her, I wouldn’t even be thinking about Delia Darling because Delia isn’t the person she’s stepping into the ring with.   Uh-uh.   She’s going to be stepping into the ring with Mikah fucking Green.”

A smirk crosses her face again.

⌂⌂RUBY “And what does that mean for Amy Marshall?”

Mikah tucks her straight blonde locks behind her ears.

;;MIKAH   “That means she’s going to get the person that everybody used to be scared to face.   The competitor that they couldn’t beat.   The Bombshell that caused almost every Bombshell threaten to go on strike because they couldn’t beat her.   She’s not facing the Bombshell that didn’t give a shit about her career.   Oh no, she’s facing the Bombshell Champion.   The Bombshell who holds the record for holding the Bombshell Championship for 267 days.   The Bombshell that beat everybody that came at her and tried to take that championship away from her.   She’s got a rude awakening heading her way Ruby because what she wants to happen isn’t going to happen.   She’s not going to be leaving Las Vegas as the last ever Bombshell Champion.   That’s going to be me and it’s going to break her heart.”

She tries to act as if she actually cares but doesn’t seem to pull it off.   So she lets the confident smirk cross her face.

⌂⌂RUBY “Do you have anything you’d like to say to the fans?”

She thinks for a moment before smiling at the camera.

;;MIKAH   “Thank you.   Thank you for being there for me and cheering me and for booing me when I was in that ring.   You make everything worth it because we all really do this for you as much as we do it for ourselves.   You are the reason that SCW has lasted this long.   So thank you.   Thank you for being awesome.”

Another smile crosses her face, a real genuine smile.

⌂⌂RUBY “I do have one last question for you Mikah, before we
go.”

Mikah looks over at Ruby, raising an eyebrow.

;;MIKAH   “Okay….”

She seems almost nervous about what Ruby is going to ask.

⌂⌂RUBY “Is there anything you regret you haven’t done in your career in SCW?   Is there something you wished that you would’ve done before the company closed its doors?   Like being a Grand Slam champion?”

Mikah makes a face.

;;MIKAH   “I have said it over and over again.   I do not want to be a grand slam champion because that would have required me to be a part of a lackluster tag team.   I am content with what I have accomplished in SCW and while Amy Marshall can enjoy being a Grand Slam Champion and whatever other accomplishments she likes to spout off about, I will enjoy being the only Bombshell that held the Bombshell Championship for 267 days.   The longest reigning Bombshell Champion and the last ever Bombshell Champion.   Those are the only two accomplishments that I need on my resume.”

She holds another confident look on her pretty face.

⌂⌂RUBY “There you have it.   The last words you will hear from the Bombshell Champion, Mikah.”

Mikah waves at the camera.

;;MIKAH   “And one last time just for the fans...”

She stands up and fixes the skirt to her short dress before leaning down for the camera to get a good view of her pretty face.

;;MIKAH   “Ciao.”
