Two weeks ago Steve superkicked Simon Jones after he cost the team of Jessie and Steve the mixed tag team match against Simon and Natalie McKinley, as if that wasn’t bad enough Steve ended his NXT membership by unleashing a vicious verbal attack on his teammates including Misty who was currently suffering from amnesia but really sealed it by hitting his patented superkick on Jessie’s fiancé Shane.
This week on Climax Control Steve had two things on his mind, Christian Underwood promised Jessie that Steve would be punished for his actions last week whilst he anticipated a match against the man who knocked his team out of the Blast from the Past Tournament Travis Nathanial Andrews in the opening match of the night, can Steve win?

I did what I had to do.
From now on its business first, friends last! I’ve been held back by my allies in SCW for too long and from now on I’m my own man as I said earlier, my comments about my former teammates? 100% true, up to and including Misty! My Superkick to Shane?
What can I say? I needed to punctuate my point.
That was a couple of hours ago and the show is about to end as Alex Kaelin is currently celebrating his well-deserved title defence against Sephiroth Du Lac and Joshua Acquin and I’ve been laying low since my seg ended, you get no prizes for guessing why, as for how I managed to avoid the rest of the roster for the rest of the night, well that’s simple, I’ve been hanging out in the parking lot.
Think about it, everyone else is in the main part of the arena getting ready for their segs and the Salcos are too busy helping Shane lick his wounds to hunt me down, as for what I would’ve done if the main event was determined to be a Parking Lot Brawl, well you’d be surprised at how many hiding spots there are in an arena parking lot.
It didn’t stop my wife from finding me unfortunately.
“Steve, what the hell was that?!” Charlotte demanded as she stepped out of her car, I had told Charlotte and Sophie to stay at the hotel because I didn’t want Sophie to see/hear what I had to say tonight or see my actions for that matter but I must’ve forgotten that the hotel has TV and it’s not that hard to find a channel that broadcasts Climax Control, especially when Climax Control is taking place in that town. “Sophie is crying herself to sleep over what you did tonight!”
“Did you have to drive to the arena to ask me this?” I asked as I pinched the bridge of my nose in annoyance. “Besides, you’re pregnant, you don’t need this kind of stress!”
“I know I’m pregnant Captain Obvious!” Charlotte retorted with an annoyed sigh. “And trust me, compared to overseas travel whilst pregnant this is a walk in the park and you still haven’t answered my question!”
“Neither did you.” I answered simply and Charlotte frowned.
“I wanted to confront you face to face for this, like Jessie, Jake and Shane did.” Charlotte responded as she folded her arms. “Does that mean you’re going to Superkick me too?!”
“Off course not! You know me, I’d never hit a woman not even a Mean Girls member no matter how annoyed I get at the Mean Girls!” I responded and Charlotte frowned. “You may not agree with it but it needed to be done.”
“Hitting a guy who’s never wrestled before with your finishing move had to be done?!” Charlotte demanded and I rolled my eyes. “The guy’s a life-long wrestling fan who’s going to live the dream of many other male wrestling fans by marrying a Bombshell this summer, is that how you treat your fans?”
“Fans? Look at where they got me!” I countered as I shook my head. “Back in the GWA I couldn’t care less about the fans only doing the PR Work to stat in the bosses’ good graces and I held nearly every title in that promotion including one they created in time for the last show, in SCW I took the opposite approach and look at where it got me!”
“You had a one on one match for the top title in SCW, something you never got in the GWA, that’s where it got you.” Charlotte retorted before shaking her head. “You know what? I can’t do this anymore! I and Sophie will continue to accompany you on the road but as far as shows are concerned you are on your own!”
“That’s fine by me!” I responded as she got back in her car. “I’ll be just fine on my own for my next match!”
“Oh yeah, that reminds me!” Charlotte said before handing over my IPad, then it hit me that I had left it back at the hotel room. “You got an e-mail whilst the stip for the Main Event was being decided, you’re wrestling next week!”
“Thanks for letting me know in a timely fashion.” I responded with a sigh as she drove off, I read the e-mail and saw that I was opening up the show against Travis Nathaniel Andrews, good, I can show him what I’m capable off with no one holding me back, I decided to get the promo done right there and then and started looking for a cameracrew, luckily I found one and called out to them, once I explained to them that I was doing a promo for the next show they got set up allowing me to start.
“You may disagree with what I said and did tonight, it doesn’t matter to me! I’m sick of following someone else’s lead and from now on I’m going it alone as far as SCW is concerned! Now do I care about what repercussions will come my way for my actions tonight? Hell no! But here’s something that I do care about. Travis Nathaniel Andrews!”
And beating him.
“Travis, the last time we met was during my tea break of a Blast from the Past tournament participation! And you only eliminated me because Delia Darling is a god damned prima donna who would go into a coma over a broken nail, this time there’s nothing that’ll hold me back from kicking your head clean off your shoulders, no idiotic partners, no walkouts, just out, me and my foot!”
Not to mention my first win of 2015.
“I may have been about pleasing the crowds with high risk offence but not anymore! From now on I’m about one thing and that’s doing whatever’s necessary to advance my career, will that involve underhanded tactics? Off course but let’s be real for a second here! I have a wife, a daughter and a second child on the way, I have to provide for them any way I can no matter what the cost and that starts next week in Sweden!”
It’ll be that simple.
“You know what? This new attitude of mine is kind off refreshing! I haven’t felt so alive since my heyday in the GWA and you only need to look up my accomplishments in that fed to know just how well that ended for me! It’s a new era for me folks and guess who’s first in the cross-airs? That’s right! It’s Travis!”
And what that I decided to wrap things up.
“Last time I took on Travis I lost because of a moron, I have no such worries going into this match because it’s one on one and no one is going to stop me from winning this match! Just remember that there’s no one to fear but The Fearless One when he’s on a mission to revitalize his career through any means necessary!”
I entered the car and drove off, mostly because I heard Jake and Jessie approaching with some EMTs with Shane on a stretcher, as the scene fades.
