The scene starts with Lin Ting Lu walking in a long room with a short ceiling. The room is dark with just one fluorescent light turned on hanging in the middle of the room over a pool table. As we get closer we can see a pool stick being pulled forward and then back with a left hand keeping it study.
With each step closer to the pool table we get a better view of the dark room. We see windows to the right that give us a glimpse of the sidewalk outside making it clear now the we are in a basement of some sort or at least a basement level of a building with a pool table.
As we get close enough we see that it is Matt Spears playing pool, 9 ball to be exact.
Master Lilly: Do the rest of the lights work?
Matt stops measuring his shot and stands up straight.
Matt Spears: Oh hello, this is a surprise. What brings you here.
Master Lilly: You invited everyone over instead of flying to China to celebrate Jon’s win.
Matt Spears: Well, Miss Lu, Jon didn’t really win a match, he just outsmarted everyone cashing in the briefcase. While that may have been a smart move for sure, but it was no match, it is nothing to have one of those big time celebrations you guys put on in the dojo.
Master Lilly: I understand and agree. The celebration takes place after Jon defends the title vs Caleb Storms at the next show.
Matt Spears: Okay, but for now, I see you got here first, want to play pool while we wait?
Master Lilly: Everyone is already here. Eyesnsane started your grill already as Alana left to pick up an old friend of hers. Song is upstairs setting up a camera for Jon Dough.
Matt Spears: And Orchid?
Master Lilly: She is with Ted walking Wrigley around the park.
Matt puts the pool stick on the table. and walks over to Master Lilly.
Matt Spears: Something tells me I should head up stairs before Jon gets on my nerves and Song from being… well being Song!
The two chuckle as Lin Ting Lu extends her arms to allow Matt to lead the way. Matt heads up a set of stairs on the left that leads up to the dining room as Lin Ting Lu heads out a back door heading to the backyard to join Eyesnsane to help with the grill.
Matt opens the door and blocks a leg coming at him. He blocks another kick then grabs the leg on the third kick to push away. Song catches herself from tripping over as Matt laughs.
Song: I have a camera set up for Jon to do his thing after that we eat and get you ready, no time to waste. So get to it, chop chop!
Matt Spears: Okay, okay.
Matt walks over to his bedroom that sit s just a few feet away. Song walks over to the other end of the dining room were the camera sits on a stance pointing at his living room.
Jon Dough walks over in his ring gear s he stands about 8 feet away from the camera as he gets ready to address the SCW fans and anyone else willing to watch.
On Camera
Jon Dough: Boy oh boy, I seem to have caused a bit of a stir. A few seem to be upset with me. One went as far as to look like he was about to have a stroke live during the show last when he was being interviewed. So let me just start by saying, everyone needs to relax and ask yourselfs a question.
Jon leans in towards the camera as if he was telling a secret of some sort,only he starts to talk in a smartass tone of voice.
Jon Dough: What would you have done if you had the briefcase at your disposal?
Jon leans away, he places his hands behind his back as he raises himself up in his tippy toes then back down to add a bit of a dramatic effect to go with what he is about to say.
Jon Dough: Now the 6 men in the match will say that they would have cashed it in at the start of the match. But we all know that is BS. Half the men claim to be “bad guys” so no they would not have done that. The other half, the so called “good guys”... well they are all rookies in 4 or less matches and are still green in this business. So yes, maybe they would have cashed it in at the start of a match... but then again if they had the briefcase then they have more than 4 matches under their belts and more of a higher wrestling IQ to know better then to cash in at the beginning of the match.
You see I did what all the “bad guys” would have done only I am a “good guy” it’s the reason why the fans all went crazy. You see for the first time a fan favorite pulled the same heist that a hated wrestler would have done.
The fans that always said to themselves, why don’t any of the good guys ever use there brain and cash in at the perfect time… Well Jon Dough did just that.
So while the fans loved it, I have a few coworkers scratching their heads wondering why I would have done that. Wondering why I would use logic over stupidity. Well keep on wondering while I sit back and enjoy being champion once again. Sit back and be upset over the fact that you feel you got screwed.
While you do that understand that getting screwed is part of this business. Those who bother to pay attention knows I been screwed in SCW in the 5 YEARS I been here while you rookies bitch and moan like you are should be entitled to a title shot.
It took 5 years for me to do what you all hoped to do in what match 3, 4, 5 depending on who you are. That said, thank you Joshua Acquin.
You see fans while others cried foul Joshua didn’t. Do you all know why?
Because he knows damn well he would have done the same. He knows it was the best strategy, one he wished he could have done. While he can bitch and moan about it, he instead said nothing. He knows what it is like to be a champion. He knows his time will come when he gets a title match. Yet the rookies want to cry and demand title shots, Joshua lets his skills to his talking.
That said, go find a better tag team partner then Jessie Saco as she had to be told on Twitter that SCW is doing the mix tag team division after it was said earlier that day on CC. She doesn’t follow her what the rest of of does, she pays no attention to anything that goes on but that is who you want as a partner? Good luck with that one.
As Jon starts to go off subject he gets redirected back on topic by the voice of Song who is behind the camera not being filmed.
Song: Are getting of subject you know!
Jon nods and focus back on the topic.
Jon Dough: You see that is the difference between those of us that have years in SCW and those who just came out of some training school and get hired for SCW.
FYI, if your trainers taught you how to cry foul rather than fight and earn a shot then you clearly wasted your time at that school and wasted good money as you could have learned that for free by watching all the others who come to SCW only to have a match or two as they thought bitching and moaning was the way to go about things.
I mean man, that Nick guy who wants us all to believe he is a calm and chilled guy surely showed his true colors last week. Had I known he was that upset I would have went to work but seeing how I ended up with a fever of 104 degrees last week I was force to stay in bed rest by doctors orders. But man I would have showed up, I would not had got in the ring but to be there live and watch a man get so bend out of shape as if he was the champion and lost a title.
He won’t last long in SCW, guys like him never do. I can start naming wrestlers as examples but most watching this would be confused as you all probably don’t remember 80% of them seeing how there has been so many.
Anyways, I have to fight Caleb Storms, a man who shared his anger over his my cashing in. Now Caleb is a great example of someone who bitch and cry for titles shots as his career takes off.
I don’t know him that well, I am saying that based on the fact that that if I tweet him it goes to the same account as Jessie Salco, the same account that was used by Steve Ramone. We all know what those two are known for right?
You guessed it, crying for more title shots. Notice I say title shots as they get so many but never win the match to be champion. I’m not saying they never been champion as they have but the percentage of them winning those matches are….
Jon puts his right index finger on his chin tapping it a few times as he thinks.
Jon Dough: I don’t know, I’ll text Mercedes Vargas later as I’m sure she has that figured out. However, that said, I know we will have one of the best matches in your short-lived career to date Caleb. Yes better than the ladder match you had a few weeks ago and better than the Warriors Brawl you were a part of in Honor Wrestling.
While those matches were great, they weren’t able to really showcase what you can do. A one on one match with me Jon Dough… Well my friend, be prepared to be the talk of the town. You see Caleb, I make everyone look good rather they beat me or lose to me, I have this gift in which I am capable of making even the most mediocre wrestler look like a main eventer.
I know others watching this are getting upset but don’t you all worry, there is 52 weeks in a year, so, hmm, about 35 CC and 8 PPV a year give or take. You all will get a turn at the title rather I am champion at the time or not so don’t be bend out of shape. Instead look at it as a lesson learned. Which is to always and I mean ALWAYS expect the man with the golden briefcase to cash it in at the most logical time for the one with the case not for anyone else.
Jon signals for Song to walk over towards him. We see Song wearing a red Hanfu robe with her hair in a ponytail holding the Roulette Title. She hands the title to Jon who places it over his right shoulder. Song turns with a smile as she gances at the camera for second before leaving the shot heading back behind the camera.
Jon Dough: Now as the Roulette Champion, well nothing really changes. I still plan on going out there and doing my best, I still plan on being a fighting champion as I was when holding ta team title.
The only thing different now is that I defend the title in most crazy matches. Like this week vs Caleb Storms, what kind of match will I be in? I ask because I don’t know what Mark Ward or Christian Underwood could be thinking.
What I do know is that in the 5 year time I have known the two, I may have said a few things to them, about them on air, in the back and in private in there offices. Like professionals we did are best not to… well lets just say that if they ever wanted to pay me back for things I have said then this is there chance.
You see, this is there chance to mess with me but in a legal way, in a way where they can just say…
“Hey he is the Roulette Champion, he knew what he was getting into when he cached in the briefcase for that title vs the other titles in SCW.”
Jon Dough: Well, they would be right. Now I have to dodge everything the bosses throw at me if I want to stay the champion.While other champions sit back and scout the next opponent, I have to do that and figure out what the bosses plan on throwing my way.
Jon pauses to look at the title for a second before turning back to the camera.
Jon Dough: They can say that is not the case but I know better. They let me cash the briefcase, they could have met me in the back and took the title from me and continued the ladder match but why do that when they can try to make me surfer by putting me in the most intense matches in my career.
So to the bosses, Mr. Ward, Mr. Underwood, bring it! Give me what you got!
Jon says with some excitement
Jon Dough: I will conquer it all, I will show everyone that I can be the best Roulette Champion ever. I will show the world that I have what it takes to lead the division and make all in my division the best they can be.
To me that means more than anything else, I will take much pride doing so. It is my job as after all, the bosses could have overruled what I did and not offer me a new deal.
After I pay my dues with the bosses they will see this was all worth it. They will see that allowing the veteran walk away with the title in the most expected way is the best direction for SCW as it continues to write there new chapter of the company.
You see, for all of time, everyone always, okay not everyone but like 75% or more always said the Bombshells are the better division. With Kris being the World Champion who returned and dropped the Roulette Championship only for the return 3 time Tag Team Champion to win the title, should help the men’s division be up to par with the Bombshells.
For the record, I never looked at one division being stronger the the other. To me we all sit on the same level. Not everyone can work in SCW, as I said earlier so many tried and failed. SCW is a league on it’s own. Right now SCW needs the stars they know they can count on to help build the company to be better than it ever was the first 6 plus years of SCW.
Jon shakes his head slightly to the left and right as he raises his arms as if he was doing a you got me shrug.
Jon Dough: I Know what you fans are all thinking, did Jon Dough just speak highly of Jet City Kris? The same guy that came in with his bro… I mean with a, um random person??? To be his tag team partner and in a blink of an eye he took my tag title.
A time when we were bringing back the tag team div to the eye of the masses. Now he sits as the World Champion and I sit as the Roulette Champion. Now we lead the singles div.
Now it’s my job to put these men in the most hardcore matches ever, make them stronger, make them ready for anything. Overall get them to be ready for one day to be the Roulette or World Champion. That is my job as champion and I will do it proudly.
Jon looks at his title again for a few seconds before looking back at the camera to finish up.
Jon Dough: It starts with Caleb Storms, a man I plan on seeing many, many times. When the match is over Caleb will have another match under his belt and one to look back at when he gets another shot at my Roulette Championship. So Caleb, I look forward to my first of many title defenses I plan on having as my time as champion.

Song walks back towards Jon Dough and takes the title off his shoulder. She goes over to the couch to take a seat as she stares at the Roulette title. She sits there for a few minutes alone before Matt Spears returns with a beer in his hand.
Matt Spears: Hey Song, Orchid said to stop staring at Jon’s title and join her outside.
Song: Oh sorry!
Song takes the title with her and places it in her duffle bag. Song and Matt go outside to join Orchid, Lin Ting Lu and the rest as the food is ready.
