Into the Void went about as I expected. I came, I saw, I conquered, and I had a very enjoyable flight back home. Really, that's all there was to it. That I had the honor and privilege of spoiling Seleana Zdunich's pay-per-view debut will be a memory that will last with me for a lifetime. That a capacity crowd got to see it in Vegas made it worthwhile but I don't think it compares to Crystal Hilton's blink-and-you-missed-it title reign that ended last week at Disney World.
Ouch.
"The Rose that Refuses to Wither Away", huh? Seemed like she withered away in the main event last Climax Control when Mikah put her to sleep. Just like she withered away last year at Summer XXXtreme when Evie flat-out embarrassed her and ended her second world title reign. Just like she withered away when Melody Grace won the four-way that ended her first reign.
Oh, but wait, she left "so Melody can do her thing", right? So by that logic if Mikah beats her again in the rematch, is she going to leave Mikah to do her thing? That's about believable as Crystal staging another retirement speech.
So when I say that Crystal can't compete under pressure, why she is a serial choke artist, this is exactly what I mean. Last week was another example why.
Her promo on this show didn't exactly inspire confidence either. She said the exact same thing in the exact same way, smirked the exact same smirk just the first time she won the title.
"Hi, I'm Christina ROSE! And I want to thank Mikah, and all the women in SCW, and all the little girls in the audience who will grow up to be just like me. And Mark Ward. And my second grade math teacher. Oh, and the Uber driver who brought me to the arena. And catering for making those low-fat salads...."
You know who I want to thank? I thank God I didn't buy a ticket. Instead, I lost five minutes of my life I wanted back watching that on my iPad. I felt nothing but apathy for it. I paused the show and went for a walk.
She claims that she and Mikah were better than Misty and Vixen - who, I might remind you, are Grand Slam Champions and Hall of Famers - and they were the best Bombshells on the current roster. Mikah, maybe. Crystal, not so much. Not even four out of five doctors believe that.
Then again, what do you expect from someone who had a kid at 13 and is still a kid themselves. 13? That's middle school age. You know what I was doing at 13? I was making my parents proud by getting good marks in school, doing my homework and studying for exams. Like most people. So maybe that's why Crystal's parents was so awful at their job, why she had a deadbeat for a father, and why she got a way-too-early lesson on sex ed.
And maybe nobody wants to say this, but it needs to be said: while ignorance is a disease, you can't fix stupid, whether taught or sexually transmitted.
Apparently, Brittany has it, too.
Like mother, like daughter.
Was I surprised Crystal went on one of her existential episodes on Twitter following her embarrassing loss? You really have to know her to know this isn't new. She runs her mouth, gets embarrassed, and then tries her best humbling act. The circle of life. For every "You were the better woman" excuse, there's a “Shut up” reply to any and every insult that comes her way. For every "(insert name of person) my friend!", there's her jumping into someone's conversation on Twitter. When your intention on Twitter isn't begging for a reaction yet you go on to weave a convoluted sob story, you're begging for a reaction.
Apparently, Brittany is starved for attention and thinks she's a badass.
Like mother, like daughter.
Anyone remember when Crystal said those downright mean, nasty things about Despayre during their Blast From the Past tournament run two years ago and practically the entire company gave her hell for it? It's not that the roster ate her alive so much as her apologies no one buys even to this day.
Because she topped it off by mocking Melody Grace.
Brittany mocked Evie without so much of knowing who she was.
Like mother, like daughter.
Crystal should be sued for every red penny.
Emotional distress: Sitting through her three world title reign.
Damages: Ruining the World Bombshell Championship legacy
Negligence: SCW keeping the belt on her 217 days too long (first reign)
Truth is, if it wasn't for her being outsmarted by someone half her age (her daughter) taking away her movie studio, odds are we'd probably see her continuing her godawful acting career.
I hear her movies are used as a form of torture in some countries. Now she's doing foxy boxing and playing football in skimpy clothing (not to mention once owning a football team that went nowhere fast). And we're supposed to be worried about someone that decided acting was too hard.
What is it about these third generation stars anyway?
Like mother, like daughter.
I'll say one thing. Come Sunday, another member of the Hilton clan is going home with nothing to show for it. Thanks to yours truly.
Like mother, like daughter.

You can look at this match in several kind of ways, and you would be right each time.
You can see this match as a battle of youth versus experience. The star of tomorrow versus the proven veteran of the ring.
You could see this match as a battle between the past and the future. I've won many championships and accolades since I came to SCW and I'm one of the very few women to have practically done it all.
You could certainly make an argument for this match as a battle of ultimate supremacy, the remnants of an era gone by.
All great storylines, all great ways to look at this match on a card full of great matches all around. But for me, how do I see it?
Sunday night, Crystal Hilton's little girl will be facing quite the challenge from yours truly.
A little more than two months in the company and matches I can count on a single hand and already you're running your mouth, picking fights, and calling out retired wrestlers all in a show of what exactly - arrogance, stupidity or willful ignorance, I don't know - just seems to lead me to the obvious: like mother, like daughter. Were you dropped on your head when you were a baby, Brittany? Is there something in the Los Angeles water supply? Because you must be one dumb bitch to actually believe the stuff that comes out of your mouth. Calling out Evie and putting your title on the line is one thing, the fact you didn’t even know she's won only two titles and has never won the Internet Championship yet and then tagging her on Twitter before telling her to shut up is another.
Sunday, I'll be doing SCW and the world a huge favor by shutting your mouth and after Climax Control maybe you can join your mother as you both ride out into the sunset because Sin City Wrestling is just about tired of dealing with the Hilton name for the past four years.
When I said the world hates your family, I meant it. You only need to look at Twitter to see why. No one fears the Hilton or Williams name anymore. Not anyone on Twitter, not any roster outside of SCW, or even in SCW. No one is second guessing themselves when their name appears on a given show or pay-per-view card. Bad enough your dad is thinking of joining SCW and calling out the world champion. Chances he could do worse than your brother-in-law is likely.
The day you win rookie of the year much less a world title is the day they bring back Colgate frozen dinners.
You want to parrot your mother and call be a charity case too? Don't let me stop you. Go right ahead, have fun, knock yourself out. I earned every last one of my title opportunities, including this one. For six years, over 110-plus matches, many main events, having gone through concussions and minor and major injuries, I have busted my ass in this company, laid my life on the line and loved and lost because I take my career that seriously, and I'm not about to let some insolent child walk out of Climax Control with a win at my expense, no matter how confident you are or who your parents are.
Your future stepmom lost in her first SCW supercard, your mother just lost the Bombshell Championship last week, and while she may be a three-time world champion, she's now tied with Sam Marlowe for the shortest title reign in the history of ever, so congratulations are in order there. But this month is still not done because I'll be going out of my way to embarrass your family again by taking the Bombshell Roulette Championship from you Sunday.
It's meant to be, it's going to be, and, in fact, it will be.
I live for moments like these. The pressure is on and I've never been more ready to meet it head on. It won't be long now before I make my mark and take my place in history.
You need to understand that you only hold a belt, but I hold the title. Heavy is the head that wears the crown. In this instance, though, you're just a girl wearing a paper crown and are a pretender to the throne when the real queen will be standing across the ring from you.
Chin up princess or the crown slips.

Two Sides of the Same Coin
Present Day • L A S V E G A S • N E V A D A
[REC]•
"Some things are better left unsaid, but you can bet I'm going to say it anyway. I can't help being who I am."
Mercedes offers a nonchalant shrug as the scene opens on her walking along the Vegas Strip during the daytime. The camera stays mostly in front of her as she continues.
"In a perfect world, Brittany, both of your parents would retire for good; your clueless future stepmother would realize that loving someone who's only in love with herself is pointless and end her, engagement to your mother; and Evie would accept your challenge. But she wouldn't wait until Summer XXXtreme, she'll end your career right then and there for fun, SCW will have a statue in her honor, and we'll never have to hear another idiotic thing from you ever again.
But then again, the world isn't perfect. Evie may have decline your challenge, but if I'm the person to put you back in your place, than so be it. It's a foregone conclusion that you won't be surviving this match at night's end.
I don't fear you, I especially don't fear your family. I already whipped your mother and aunt's asses in my career, and I just embarrassed your future stepmother at Into the Void, so what can you do to me, little girl? You can't do any worse than Kate Steele or the the Sullivan Sisters, and those are some of the people she trained - and who I also crushed in my career.
"You're not special, you're not unique, and you're definitely not a threat. Through these eyes, Brittany, you'll always be the pathetic loser living off of her mother's name.
Mercedes forms her hand into an "L" shape, holds the gesture a second more to emphasize this point before she goes back to speaking.
"Think about it this way - it's not about where would Crystal be without you, it's where you be without Crystal.
"...when your dad should have pulled out when he had the chance."
