(OOC Note: Mark Ward was used with Mark’s permission)
Jessie lost the Internet Championship to Melody Grace at Into the Void but as Melody made her submit rather than pin in her in the tag team match Mark has made Melody defend her title at all times, Jessie on the other hand? She had a chance of a lifetime in her sites and all she had to do was beat a former member of the Mean Girls and multiple time Tag Team Champion Veronica Taylor.
This was far from the only match these two women have had as they have previously fought against each other in tag team competition during the Mean Girls’ peak and the Metal and Punk Connection’s heyday, however that wasn’t the only thing on the line in this match as Mark announced a Six Pack Challenge Match for the SCW World Bombshell Championship not long after Crystal Millar took the belt from Sam Marlowe a mere two weeks into Sam’s second reign as champion and Jessie’s match with Veronica was one of two qualifying matches for the match, the other match being a clash between the former SCW Bombshell Tag Team Champions Team Hero as both women sought after singles gold despite the fact that Roxi had made it clear that she wanted a shot at Kate Steele’s SCW Bombshell Roulette Championship.
There were a lot of stories heading into Summer XXXTreme and the last Supercard was still fresh in the minds of the fans but for many this match was a huge opportunity especially for Jessie who looked set to be one of the youngest Bombshell Champions in SCW history at the age of twenty-four but before she could do that she had to beat her old nemesis in Veronica Taylor but can she do it?

My brother Jake always said that all it takes is one little meeting to change your life, for better or worse, well in the case of last week’s Climax Control that ended up not only being true but pretty prophetic considering that he said it to me whilst we were on our way to the Gold Coast Arena last Sunday night but that’s not important.
What is important is the fact that I have the opportunity of a fucking life-time coming up this Sunday night at Climax Control 151 and all I have to do is kick Veronica Taylor’s skanky ass to the curb, this isn’t exactly our first meeting, hell our last meeting was in another Six Pack Challenge back at My Bloody Valentine II and we’ve had several battles in tag team competition back when the Mean Girls were still a thing, the Metal and Punk Connection where a new team and Veronica Taylor was actually relevant!
Yeah, I just used one of the Mean Girls’ favorite insults against a former Mean Girl, doesn’t make it any less true!
Anyway I know what you’re thinking, just what was that meeting with Mark Ward about at CC 150? Do I really need to spell it out for you? Actually I’ll do you one better!
*flashback*
I’m taking you back to the Climax Control that went to the dogs! Yeah, I’m not apologizing for that bad pun but it’s not like I was the only one making such jokes, I was one of the only wrestlers on the active roster to not bring a pet with me but it’s like I said on Twitter, as much as I’d love to have a dog with all the traveling I do it wouldn’t be fair on the animal and I’m pretty sure Steve gets around that problem by way of having family to look after his dog.
Well, had a family at least.
Anyway I had barely even arrived at the arena before Mark called me to his office, I pretty much dropped everything to be at that meeting because, like I said, Mark’s the competent co-owner, anyway I opened the door to Mark’s office and saw him surfing the internet.
“Close the door behind you Jess and leave the cameraman outside, this meeting concerns something that I’m not ready to reveal to the fans yet.” Mark instructed me when he looked up and saw me and I did so closing the door on the cameraman. “Remind me again, how old were you when you first joined SCW?”
“I was twenty-two.” I responded as I sat down at his desk and he set the laptop screen down. “I had only been wrestling for a few years at the time.”
“Yes, I remember you said so during the job interview, but in spite of your inexperience and the fact that you held the joint shortest Roulette Title Reign thanks to that Team Erick bullshit you persevered, a lesser woman would’ve given up long ago but you didn’t.” Mark said as he leaned forward and I gave him a significant look. “And I’m the kind of boss that likes to award hard work and dedication.”
“So what? Your sudden interest in me during the Japanese Tour wasn’t because I just so happened to be the Bombshell Internet Champion at the time?” I asked and Mark nodded in response.
“You could say that, I knew you could beat Mercedes when I booked the Internet Championship Match at Blaze of Glory and I knew that you were planning to award a title match to Melody since she pinned Mercedes in that tag team match.” Mark responded as he rested his elbows on the table. “Let me put this another way, Spike Staggs was hardly the only wrestler on the roster that saw your potential when you debuted, he was just the first to take you under his wing.”
£Yeah, I know, crazy to think that we’re coming up to the fourth anniversary of my Supercard Debut.” I commented to myself before turning to Mark. “So you’re going to give me another shot at Melody at Summer XXXTreme IV?” I asked and Mark shook his head.
“I have my own plans for Melody, I can’t even guarantee that she’ll have the Internet Championship by the time Summer XXXTreme rolls around, I think you’re ready for prime time.” Mark explained and it took me a minute to realize what he meant.
“You’re putting me in the World Bombshell Title picture?” I asked and Mark nodded without hesitation, it took me a bit for it to really sink in but once it did I had a massive grin on my face. “So when can I tell the boys?”
“Wait until after the show, besides I’m not putting you straight into the title picture, I need you to prove that you can handle the pressure first.” Mark responded as he leaned back and my grin faded slightly. “It’s not exactly a secret that you hated the Mean Girls who weren’t called Mercedes Vargas, well next week you’ll get to kick a former Mean Girl’s ass, one who you’ve dealt with before.”
“That doesn’t exactly narrow things down.” I pointed out as I shook my head. “And somehow I doubt that even you can bring back Delia Darling, pretty sure she’s done with wrestling.”
“Your right there.” Mark nodded in response. “Let me narrow things down, she’s still on the roster and most of your encounters with her were in tag team competition.” Mark added and once it hit me an even bigger grin appeared on my face.
“You’re putting me against Taylor? You may as well put me into the World Bombshell Title Match at Summer XXXTreme and save me a few minutes.” I responded with a cocky grin and Mark nodded in response. “But if your holding qualifying matches then you must have something special planned for Summer XXXTreme.”
“Why not? It is our most unique Supercard!” Mark responded before shaking his head. “I’m not going to reveal all my cards yet, I still have other plans to finalize including some involving Mikah, Crystal Millar and, of course, Sam Marlowe.”
“I’ll take your word for it, for now I’ll head out so I can meet up with Amy.” I responded as I stood up and left the office only to find Ms. Rocky Mountains waiting for me.
*end flashback*
Those plans ended up being a Six Pack Challenge with four of the Bombshells already selected for the match and two qualifying matches that’ll take place this week on Climax Control, you already know about my match against Veronica Taylor but the other match? Keira vs. Roxi, that’s right, Team Hero implodes and we get to witness it on TV!
The only thing we really need now is popcorn and a six pack! This couldn’t be more perfect!
“Hey Jess.” Jake commented once he saw me enter the living room, I could see that he had the international news on TV and remembered that England was having that Brexit thing. “Have you seen the news?”
“Not really, I spent most of the time upstairs listening to Testament whilst playing Dark Souls.” I responded as I started to put my hair in a ponytail. “Why? Have they announced the result of that whole EU Referendum thing?”
“Yep and Britain voted to leave.” Jake responded quickly sensing my next question as I finished tying my hair up. “I can think of a few SCW stars, past and present, and a certain co-owner that will have some strong opinions on this.”
“Right, I’m just hoping Mark voted out in the referendum, if he found time that is.” I responded not noticing Shane entering the room with a drink in his hand. “I wonder how this will affect festivals like Bloodstock.”
“How what will affect festivals like Bloodstock?” Shane asked as he opened his canned drink and started drinking it, Jake pointed him towards the TV and he looked up. “What the hell?!” Shane asked as he nearly choked on his drink in the process. “This will definitely not be good for festivals like Bloodstock, foreign bands will have a hell of a time trying to get past border security now and there’s no way in hell I’m going to a US festival!”
“That’s not all, the British Prime Minister resigned after the result was announced and currently England’s without a leader.” Jake responded and I frowned in response. “Oh and the British Pound dropped in price, at least that will make paying for next year’s Bloodstock easier.”
“Err, Jake I’m pretty sure that’s not how stock prices work.” I pointed out and Jake threw up his arms. “Well, with any luck we’ll be able to enter England without much problems when the time does come for Bloodstock, whether or not I’ll be the World Bombshell Champion remains to be seen.”
“Yeah, that’s true, wonder if the co-owners will let you take the title with you.” Shane commented with a shrug before pausing. “On the other hand it’ll be a pain in the ass getting that thing past border security unless the border security are SCW fans.”
“Yeah, somehow I doubt that’ll come to pass.” I responded before Jake changed the channel. “Speaking of the World Bombshell Championship, I have a promo to do for what’ll probably be my easiest match all year, call me when you’re putting dinner on, okay?”
“Yeah, sure.” Shane responded before I went into the other room, after a bit of searching I decided to do my promo at the dining room table since it was the nearest location.
“A lot’s happened over the past week, England’s left the EU, SCW revealed that some of their superstars and Bombshells have the weirdest pets in one night and oh yeah, I’m fighting for a chance at the World Bombshell Championship this week on Climax Control, who’s my opponent? None other than my old foe Veronica Taylor and considering that the Mean Girls are long dead by this point……”
Yeah, she’s screwed.
“I’m actually convinced that Mark put me in this match so that I’d have an easy road to the most prestigious women’s title in wrestling! Sure, lately it’s been passed around more times than a party girl after a few drinks but that’s beside the point, my point is just like you Veronica, simple, what exactly have you done to earn this title opportunity? I know it’s a first time experience for you Veronica but I really want you to think hard on this!”
Time’s up!
“You did nothing to earn this title opportunity! And before you even think about saying that I didn’t earn it either, first off, two thoughts in a row? I guess miracles can happen! Second, when was the last time you held a title? Over a year ago and it wasn’t even singles gold, when was the last time I held a title? Just last month when I was the Bombshell Internet Champion and you know what else? Setting aside all controversy surrounding my little feud with Melody I was a fighting champion! In fact, I wasted no time in issuing a championship opportunity to Melody! Now granted Melody was a charity case but so are you! In fact, I’m pretty sure you get all your clothing from charity shops!”
Would certainly explain a lot!
“Just face it Veronica, without others to back you up your nothing in the ring! The only reason you held onto the Tag Titles with Amanda Cortez was because you needed outside help against The Fallen and just like you they’ve really fallen from grace recently! Yeah I know that pun’s terrible but it’s still not as big a joke as you are in the ring! Hell there’s only one analogy I can think off that’s perfect for you and that’s the fact that Donald Trump is not only running for president but there’s a real chance that he’ll be in office by the end of the year!”
And if that doesn’t terrify you, well I’m glad to see that SCW’s branched out to the redneck audience!
“The only difference, aside from gender and job obviously, is that you actually have better hair than Trump! Then again it doesn’t really take much to have better hair than him, also savor that moment Veronica because that’s the only compliment that you’re getting in this promo, if you can even call it a compliment off course!”
But that’s not important.
“Veronica, you need to realize that it was time you hung up the boots when the Mean Girls disbanded because every time you step into the ring you make an idiot of yourself! It happened during the Six Pack Challenge at My Bloody Valentine when I used your own tricks against you, it happened when you faced Mikah a few weeks ago and more importantly it’ll happen this Sunday at Climax Control where I kick your ass all over Laughlin and move on to bigger and better things whilst you fade into obscurity!”
And with that I decided to wrap things up.
“And as much as I hate to use one of the Mean Girls’ most overused insults, you’re a basic, plain and simple and I’m not talking about the looks department either, what I am talking about is your wrestling ability or lack thereof and that will prove to be your downfall, once again, at Climax Control, this is the Heavy Metal Angel Jessie Salco signing off, hope your bringing a box of tissues to Climax Control Veronica because you’ll need them once I’m done making the most of this opportunity!”
I left the room as the scene fades.
