San Diego, California
Gem Stone Manor
It had been a long time since we had seen any members of the Gem Stones. In the time away from SCW a lot had been discovered about the family band mainly over the fact that Kate and Phoebe “Sapphire” were half-siblings. It was ironic considering the two would often get into fights over Ruby Steele and forcing the youngest member of the band to choose between them. Sapphire and Diamond being related added a different dynamic and recently they were as close as could be. Kate smirked as the two of them were downstairs in their recording studio. Sapphire held an electric guitar in her hand as she slowly started to strum away as Kate wasn’t any paying attention to anything. She sat down in a chair and opened up her pocket mirror. The longtime blonde SCW wrestler applied tons of make up along with lipstick as she smacked her lips together and smiled at her reflection.
Sapphire:Are we going to record music or not, I know Ruby is expecting us to make some magic in the studio so that we could bring some ideas to the band. It’s been a while since we recorded something and the longer we wait is the more time that I know the Magnificent Metals are going to create an album that’s going to go platinum.
Kate just blows it off as she just continues to look at her reflection before she slowly turns her attention over to her younger sister.
Kate:Nobody gives a shit about the Metals. Goldie, Silver, Copper, and Platinum have NOTHING on our band. I know Goldie loves to position herself as this ultimate front woman but let’s be honest her vocals don’t come anywhere close to what I can do on a microphone. We could talk about the rival band but we should celebrate. We are Gems. I am a Diamond and I know I am the most expensive thing in the entire planet. Besides why focus on them when we could be talking about something better.
Sapphire raises her eyes as she looks back at her sister.
Sapphire:And what exactly is better than trying to come up with an album?! We thrive off of music and sounding good.
Kate offers a chuckle as she finally puts her pocket mirror away and she stands up she looks deeply into the eyes of her sibling as she begins to speak.
Kate:I would think being the most beautiful woman on the face of the planet is definitely something that is much better than music at the moment.
Sapphire:I get it, you love being beautiful…
Kate:I am more than just beautiful. I am GORGEOUS, I am a PERFECT TEN, and I am GOD’S GREATEST CREATION and am the epitome of possessing drop dead SEXIFIED appeal. So whenever we mention beauty I know it’s only right to think about me.
Sapphire just rolls her eyes as she looks back at Kate and shrugs her shoulders.
Sapphire:Okay Kath-Lyn, you are beautiful and deserve all of the praise but what exactly makes all of that special that we can’t just sit and focus on our music.
Kate:You ever stop and think that maybe I have worked things out and am officially finding my way back to SCW. I know it has been a long time coming but after months of trying to speak to management, I have finally been approved to return back to the company that I love. It’s to show up and showcase that I have what it takes to not only rise up like a Phoenix but to be the best damn thing that the company has to offer.
Sapphire:Wow, so after all of this time they have decided to let you back. I am really surprised to be honest that they are going to let you walk back through the doors. You know things really haven’t worked out that well for the Steele family in recent memory. Ruby’s return to SCW hadn’t set the world on fire and everybody considered her a joke. I mean last time she fought she was getting submitted by Bea Barnhart and it doesn’t get any lower than that!
Sapphire just sighs as she looks back at her sister.
Sapphire:And what’s going to be different when it comes to you. You know they don’t want you there. Hell I doubt they will even recognize you with all of the plastic surgery and of course the boob job that you got. You would be a shell of your former self. There will be women who are gunning tot ake you down or to make a mockery of you at your expense…
Kate just rolls her eyes as she crosses her arms.
Kate:And if that’s how people want to feel about me so be it. It takes time to look as beautiful as me. On top of that I don’t like leaving things that are unfinished Phoebe. It took a long time for me to get my contract back in SCW. I know I am not wanted. I already have a return match back and in the hype it’s already being looked upon that there was serious debate when it came to me being welcomed back to the company.
Sapphire:Well can you blame them questioning if they should roll the welcome carpet out for you?! It’s not like you have been setting the world on fire as of lately. You know I love Prue, she is the heart and glue that keeps our band together but she had returned back to SCW to prove a point and ended up being a joke. She wasn’t the same threat who had worked her ass off and proved herself in that first Blast from the Past. She was so far removed from those days. You happen to be looked upon in the same way because people are questioning if you have loyalty, and the heart and soul to be in the company.
Kate raises her eyes in return.
Kate: We all know that’s POPPY COCK! I know at times I can miss the mark but me not having loyalty to the one company that believed in me is truly OUTRAGEOUS! I conquered everything for that bloody company. I won the Roulette Championship on two separate occasions, I won the Internet Championship on two separate occasions, hell I even was a finalist for the Blast from the Past and a former Mixed Tag Team Champion for that damn company and you want to question if I have loyalty to SCW?!
Sapphire:I am not personally questioning anything but just think about it from the perspective of everybody that works in that company. People know you to be a flake. They know you won’t commit and will just be around for a paycheck it’s the same thing that Prudence did and she’s related to us. So what makes you to be any different?!
Kate rolls her eyes once again as she finally forms a serious expression on her face. She stands face to face with her sister as she begins to reply back.
Kate:You want to personally know what makes things different?! It’s the simple fact that I have unfinished business. I have something to prove. This time it’s not about collecting a paycheck. It’s about establishing an identity to be an absolute threat. When I left I will admit I didn’t have the drive. I didn’t have the desire to be anything other than somebody who would show up for the sake to show up and go through the motions but what I want more than anything is to finally finish the pages of my unfinished chapters of my SCW.
Sapphire:And what chapters are you talking about?!
Kate:I want to be World Champion… If I go out and win a World Championship I will finally become a Grand Slam Champion. Not many women have accomplished that feat but I want to be one of the women who can say that they actually achieved it. It pains me that I haven’t managed to do so yet. When LAW closed down I was happy that I made it into the Hall of Fame and I went in as a woman who won three separate singles championships but it’s not the same as being called a Triple Crowner or a Grand Slam winner. I want to have that attached to my name.
Kate takes a breather as she continues to speak.
Kate: More importantly than that I want something more than that, I want to be go into the SCW Hall of Fame. I have accomplished so much for the company and to not have that on my resume is driving me to the point of insanity. I have done it all. I was head teacher for Jet City South. It’s ironic that Courtney Pierce can go through the school and make it to the top. It’s crazy that my baby cousin Ruby can win the Blast from the Past and at least had a position to put herself in that spot but when it comes to me the only reason why I got into a position is because I held a gold briefcase or I fought Roxi Johnson on a random edition of Climax Control…
Kate is disgusted as she raises her voice.
Kate:That’s BULLSHIT.I am much better than that! I am better than what the world thinks, and I am certainly better than what some in management think about me. I have a feeling it was Christian that didn’t want me back in SCW.
Sapphire:And why do you feel like that is the case?!
Kate:I don’t know but I have a feeling, on top of that Hot Stuff is from London like I am. We think alike and I know that he knows deep in his heart that if I get pushed to the edge there is going to be a woman who will step up like her life depended on it. I know it has been a long time but now is the time to step up and to show the fuck up. It’s time to prove not only to the world but to myself that I am the best woman that the company has to offer.
Sapphire:And as you would say the most BEAUTIFUL one at that, go out there and show everybody what you are about.
Kate: Oh don’t worry I plan to do so. It won’t be that long until I make the trip to Arizona and I have a Bea Barnhart that will be standing in front of me, the last time that a Steele was in the ring with her she made Prudence tap out in front of the entire world, and I know that in itself is a joke. I won’t make the same mistake that Ruby made. I will beat her and make an example out of her. I will send a message to the rest of the company that a Diamond will always shine bright.
Kate nods her head as she remains all grins.
Kate:More importantly than that I will prove a point that I should be taken seriously, I might look different, I may come across different but in that ring it’s going to be me going back to the basics. Once I conquer over this thing that is wrestling than we could get back to the ultimate goal.
Sapphire:Which is to put the Gem Stones on the map as being the best all girls rock band in the entire world, and I can’t wait until we go back to those days. It’s been a long time since we were respected but I think its times that you made people respect us… More importantly you should get people to respect you!
Kate:hat is the end goal, Phoebe go pack your bags because we got some traveling to do and by the end of it all I will get what I want. I will get my respect and I don’t give a damn if I have to earn it or take it by force. People will get a feel for who exactly I am.
With that the two siblings just smirk at one another and it is on this image that we slowly fade out on.
Isn’t this just lovely?! Yours truly is officially making her return to the inside of an SCW ring and can I just say that it feels amazing to be back to the company where I have had the most success at?! Last Sunday on June 1st I officially turned 34 years old and I received the best birthday present that a girl like me could ask for. Now I know what you are thinking, sure a trip to the tanning salon would have been amazing. Sunbathing in the sun on some exotic beach in the Caribbean would have been superb as well or getting a fully paid off trip to a spa to get the best treatments in the world would have been exciting.
That’s not what I am talking about though, the type of gift that I received came in the simple form that my contract to SCW had officially been reinstated which means that all of you people out there would have the special pleasure of seeing my beautiful face all across your television sets. Isn’t that so amazing?! I know if I was in the shoes of the SCW fanatics I would have my panties become all wet because that’s the type of effect I have on people.
Now a lot has happened since the last time that everybody has saw me. In the past I was simply that little Emo bitch who thrived on being the little engine that could. I was a woman who had always left her heart and soul in the ring and as long as she gave it her all that’s the only thing that mattered in the ring. I went even as far and was the third member of the Metal and Punk connection just living in the moment and being completely content on being friends of Jessie Salco and Amy Marshall.
Oh how I was so naïve in those days and I know for a fact that I was young and dumb for putting myself in a position such as that. Kate Steele is nobody’s third wheel but I was always destined to be a star and with this return to SCW you are going to see that part of me starting to emerge to the surface. I am a mega pop star. I have albums that top charts and I have sold out venues across the world. I could have stayed away because to be honest the type of money that SCW is offering is peanuts to the value that I know I am worth, but then again it’s not about the money.
It’s about the respect, and it’s about proving to every single one of you ingrates who wish to take me for granted that I am not good or that I am washed up to make you eat your words. You will be eating crow because I know for a fact that I am the MOST BEAUTIFUL AND GORGEOUS THING IN ALL OF WRESTLING.
I mean just look at me, it’s not that hard to figure out that some of you are jerking off at the mere sight of me.
I can hear the comments, Kate what did you do?! Why change yourself so much?! Why get the plastic surgery, why get the boob job, why become the very thing that you hate?!
Maybe it was needed because by looking like this is how one gets attention and truthfully as long as all eyes remain on me I really don’t give a damn on how you feel about me because you aren’t the ones who have to walk in my heels. I don’t care what steps I have to take and if a shortcut is needed by all means so be it but as long as I get to the destination that I wish to go to. It’s all fair in my eyes at the end of the day.
To the haters who are watching this promo and are questioning if I even wish to be here or if this is simply about a paycheck you can go kick rocks. I would say you can kiss my arse but I don’t want you to get off on something that you would actually enjoy. It’s not like I would even GIVE any of you an opportunity to be in that position to begin with. Sorry but I am just not interested.
Now I know what all of you are thinking. Why return Kate. Yes I mentioned it’s about respect but most importantly it’s about grabbing a hold of the World Championship. It’s about being a Grand Slam Champion, and it’s about being in that Hall of Fame. It’s a three step process but completing that step of being a World Championship is a clear cut path to the other two things. Being World Champion is the only thing I haven’t managed to do and I will do whatever it takes to get to where I wish to go.
Now I know it’s rude to stand up here and share my heart. After all I should be looking at my return opponent at this upcoming show. I get to step in the ring with Bea Barnhart so surely I should be working my ass off in the gym because somewhere deep in her heart she truly believes she has what it takes to beat me.
Spoiler alert, she’s not going to beat me. If she does beat me it would be mainly due to the fact that I decided to take a night off or if I didn’t show up to the fight giving a care in the world. You could say that’s what happened when Bea and I fought one another with the Mixed Tag Team Championships on the line. I will openly admit her and Bill did beat me and Teddy.
Wow, yes I know it was the upset of the century but to be honest they shouldn’t have been in a position to beat Teddy and I especially after the way that Teddy and I beat the Black Sheep. You want to know the reality of everything?! They only won because Teddy and I’s relationship was starting to fade away. It was coming to an end and we just didn’t care about anything anymore.
It didn’t matter who was going to step up next but chances are they would have beaten us. You can claim that to be an excuse but those are the facts.
Maybe just maybe I should take Bea seriously because she beat up on my little cousin Ruby. She made her tap out in front of the entire world and that should be feather in your cap correct?!
No, it’s rubbish and I will even go as far to say that it’s bollocks as well. You didn’t beat the Ruby Steele that I know who worked her ass off trying to be the very best she could be at everything. You beat a woman who was trying to rewrite the past of being embarrassed by Krystal Wolfe, and later on was too consumed with being the wife of Courtney Pierce instead of just emerging as her own individual. Yeah you beat Ruby but don’t assume that you are going to waltz into our match and do the same thing to me.
I will wrestle light years around you simply because you aren’t shit. Too be honest you should be ashamed to be in the position that you are in. You haven’t grown as a wrestler or an individual. The company doesn’t take you seriously you are simply used as fodder to make people look good.
I know I should be grateful because after all I am on the show and God forbid if I complain about opening the show. Opening the show SHOULD be a privilege it’s how the night gets started off on a high note. The fans have been waiting in anticipation to see some action and they finally get to see some with the opening bell. Normally that could be said with any other wrestler…
But let’s be honest here, I am wrestling Bea Barnhart there is nothing interesting about that. I think I rather watch paint dry or watch a Bill Barnhart promo…. Both are pretty bad and boring for the record. So if the company wants to me to show up and beat a Bitch so be it but I think the real fun is going to come after the match I will have to have my own fun.
Perhaps I will show up in segment after segment just to show case that I am back, and drive the point home that you are going to get more than your fill of me. Maybe I will call somebody out or maybe I will drive management crazy by being annoying but surely all of that is better than being in this situation.
You want to know the sad reality is Bea?!
The truth is you aren’t good, you were never good. Some people live on the hopes of mediocrity and there’s a saying that you can live in the hype of being mediocre at best but you are much further below that. The only reason that you could ever find yourself winning anything is if somebody decided not to come through and show up to wrestle.
It’s going to take little effort to beat you but I rather bury you because sadly I am here to make a statement, a statement that I should be taken seriously and when I get pissed off I plan to take all my anger out in the ring.
On top of that I hate it when people tell me that I can’t do something and I don’t like having to sit on the bench and be told to wait or to see my contract being disputed just to finally get the phone call to be told that I am actually going to get the chance to start.
Let’s get something clear, I am not a bench warmer, I am not an injured reserve, I am an all-star, I am a future Hall of Famer, and I am a striker who puts up four goals a night. Call me the Marta of Women’s wrestling and you know that I am indeed as good as I say I am.
I know it’s been a very long time since you saw a Kate Steele as fired up as this. It’s been a long time continuing but there’s been one Bitch who has been on my hit list. This has been a year in the making and I will be damned that I have returned and to see this Bitch is still in the same spot that she was in when I left.
I am talking about the woman who made me out to look like a jester when she was named Queen for a Day last year and because I refused to take part in doing something she had ordered me to do it was like a big deal. Yes I am talking about Victoria Lyons and if I have to beat every single Bitch in this company to get to her so be it.
If she happens to be the platform I springboard into the main event so be that as well but you all need to know that I am back and it won’t be the same as last time.
I could just see the reaction of just about everybody after they see me wrestle and beat the unholy hell out of Bea. Oh my Gosh Kate Steele is back?! Oh my God she’s serious?! Oh my God she’s actually good?!
Rubbish…
I have always been good but nobody was ever paying attention or around the time when I was actually doing stuff nobody respected me enough to give me what I wanted. I don’t need you applause I am content with being my own biggest fan and admiring that I have perfect hair, the perfect tan, and of course the perfect body.
The only thing I need from anybody in this company is just to praise me for being God’s greatest creation and finally acknowledging that I am a main event talent who deserves who shot. That may not sit well with some people in this company but to be honest I don’t give a damn.
I just care about taking what’s mine and being a star.
To the haters who ever doubted me go to hell, and to whoever ended the contract dispute and decided to take a chance on me? I am going to show you personally I am your biggest and brightest star. Sometimes you just need to take a chance on somebody to see what they are really capable of.
I am indeed who I claim to be and come Sunday the Kate Steele you thought you knew will have been officially burnt to the ground, but in her place and from out of the ashes a major star will have been born. One who isn’t a joke! One who is a threat, and one who is happy to take her rightful place.
Watch out world, but yours truly is officially is back and the world is so ripe for the picking.
The Phoenix will rise again… Time to feel the flames…
