Caleb was successful in his quest to beat Joshua Acquin at Six Flags over Georgia but his hunt to reclaim the title? That was a different story as he was constantly being ignored by the bosses who considered him “boring” and unworthy of a title, naturally Caleb disagreed and aired his grievances Sunday Night going on a rant about the bosses and especially Equinox who had been chosen to get a title shot in his place.
Well, Caleb’s rant must’ve rubbed the bosses the wrong way as this week he was taking on former SCW Roulette and World Heavyweight Champion Tommy Crimson in singles competition, a man who was well known for being mentally unstable and absolutely brutal in the ring, Caleb had a lot to prove if he wanted to get back in title contention and whilst his win over Joshua Acquin was a step in the right direction a win over Tommy would silence the doubters but can Caleb win?

I open my big mouth, and this is what I get in return!
That’s basically how I’m looking at my match against Tommy Crimson this Sunday night on Climax Control because, well, how else can you explain it? I started last week by openly criticizing the decision to have Equinox challenge Jon Dough for the title instead of me (and not because I was channeling Jessie Salco, just look at the segs I’ve been putting out since Into the Void!), got called boring by a boss who clearly doesn’t know what he is talking about and then I decided to wait until last week’s Climax Control before I addressed the comments.
Not to mention point out Equinox’s history of abusing steroids.
And that brings us to my match against Tommy, why else would they book me against a known psychopath who won the Roulette Title in a manner straight out of a slasher flick (only, you know, without the opponent’s death) and went on to win the World Title on the last pre-reboot show only for Kris to win both titles back? I’m not normally the kind of guy who goes around spouting conspiracy theories, but this theory has a lot more weight to it than most of the others I’ve seen.
Still, I would be lying if I said that I wasn’t excited about facing a former World Champion like Tommy even if he only held the title for a few minutes at most! Hell, before this match, my only interaction with Tommy was when I interfered in his second to last title defense to get one up on Samuel McPherson who likely would’ve won the match otherwise considering Tommy put himself through a table to eliminate the only other remaining competitor in the match!
Then again, Tommy likely didn’t know that I interfered in his match until he came too once the show was over but that’s beside the point.
I’ll talk more about Tommy later when I get started on my trash talk but, in the meantime, me and Katie have just got off the Rajin Cajun Roller-Coaster and our hair was all over the place as a result, still we had a good time on the Roller-Coaster and were currently trying to decide on what ride we should go on next.
“Okay, so the Water Park’s off limits because someone forgot to pack our swimming gear.” Katie said as we looked at the sign whilst giving me a significant look as she said the last part. “And there’s only two other coasters, I could’ve sworn there was another.”
“I think you mean the Xtreme Coaster, that thing’s been defunct ever since a woman fell to her death back in 2010.” I responded after thinking for a moment, I had heard something about that when I was talking to a friend about the theme parks that SCW had announced as part of their Fatal Attraction’s Tour, but it wasn’t until Katie brought it up that I remembered about it. “I’m sure there’s somewhere we can grab a bite to eat if you can’t decide on a ride to go on.”
“Yeah but I’m starting to get sick of theme park food, that’s what we’ve been mostly eating since the tour started and I feel like I put in like a hundred pounds since the tour started.” Katie responded, and I may as well have had a bottle of glue handy because that’s how tightly my lips were sealed, what? Do you want me to get kicked in the balls by my fiancé? “At least there’s only one theme park show after this one and then it’s the Summer XXXTreme show.”
“Yeah, a little over a year since I attended last year’s Summer XXXTreme as a fan, not to mention the show that convinced me to sign my first contract with the company two months later.” I nodded in response as I thought back to that day, off course SCW would end up going on hiatus just a couple months after my debut but that’s neither here nor there. “Tommy Crimson’s going to be my biggest test in my wrestling career but if I can pull off an upset then who knows? Maybe the bosses will get their heads out of their asses long enough to realize “hey, we never really gave him a chance to draw by making him defend the title right away so our argument that he never drew money is bullshit!”.” I commented as I ran a hand through my hair.
“They are just another pair of wrestling promoters who are more concerned with keeping the status quo than giving younger wrestlers a chance, ignore them.” Katie responded as she shook her head before she felt her stomach rumble. “You know what? Grabbing a bite to eat sounds good right now, you can get your promo done whilst we’re walking to the restaurant anyway.”
“Sounds good.” I responded before we started heading towards a place in the park we had found earlier in the week, as we did I decided to get started on my promo.
“Looks like I ruffled some feathers because after my rant about Equinox last week I’m finding myself in singles competition against one of the most psychotic men on the roster in Tommy Crimson and I can only imagine the chaos that would ensue if Chris Shipman decided to return and either feuded or teamed up with Tommy but that’s a nightmare for another night! I’m not going to lie here, Tommy is going to be the biggest challenge of my wrestling career but if, no, WHEN I beat him, maybe people will start to take notice?”
But I digress.
“Tommy, you and I signed up for the company at around the same time last year but outside of that? We haven’t interacted much, in fact, if you want to be pedantic I made my debut first and on top of that, we’ve had different career paths but I’m not about to let those facts stop me from showing Mark and Christian just how wrong they were when the slated me on Twitter last week and trust me, I have a lot to say about one particular subject but I’m saving that for the appropriate match!”
But here’s some other facts instead.
“Words to describe Tommy Crimson, a psychopath, a champion in his own right, a guy who won his first title using strategies straight out of a slasher flick, seriously the only thing missing from that match was Tommy holding up Kris’s severed head, and my opponent this week, am I just a bit nervous? Yep but I’m not about to let that stop me from doing the best I can in this match and going on to, hopefully, win it or at the very least prove certain people with more power than brain cells wrong!”
And no, I’m not talking about the Donald Trump administration!
“Honestly Tommy, I think you are the first wrestler that I can remember where everyone else on the roster was scared to face you in the ring but not me! Am I nervous? Yep, but I’m not about to let that stop me from putting my best foot forward in this match and more importantly going on to win the match, as for what happens after that? Who knows but there’s one thing I do know, beating a former World Champion will raise my stock in this company and once that happens? The sky’s the limit!”
And I just so happened to be walking past a Roller-Coaster as I said that! Anyway, I decided to wrap things up.
“I’ve already my piece on why I think this match was booked in the first place and I’m not about to repeat myself, what I am going to do though is focus on one thing going into this match and that’s showing the haters what I can really do in the ring and if that means beating a psychotic former World Champion like Tommy Crimson? Then so be it! As for Tommy he had better brace himself because there’s a storm brewing, otherwise he’ll be blown away by “The Metal Storm” Caleb Storms!”
We finally reached the eating area as the scene fades.
