CLIMAX CONTROL 167 IS THE LAST EVENT BEFORE THE HOLIDAY BREAK. TIME FOR AN EARLY CHRISTMAS GIFT FOR JAMES TUSCINI IN THE FORM OF THE INTERNET CHAMPIONSHIP
NARRATOR: Happy Holidays! We are approaching the last Sin City Wrestling event of 2016, Climax Control 167, after which we go into the Holiday Break, James Tuscini will be facing off against Despayre, in the Main Event, for the Internet Championship. This will take place at the Gold Coast Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada, on Sunday, December 18, 2016.
James is at his home in San Francisco, California. He is alone at this time since his Uncle-Manager Pinky del Ferrando, and his Fiancée Sandy Erwin, have gone out Christmas shopping. They didn’t want James to come along as they are purchasing gifts for him. There is a nice fire burning in the fireplace in the living room. The two fancy chairs are sitting in front of the fireplace as always. Between the chairs is a table with two wine glasses on top of the table along with two bottles. One bottle is a light wine called White Zinfandel and the other bottle is not able to be identified but it contains a dark red liquid. There is a knock on the door and James walks over and opens the door. We are surprised to see Dmitri, friend and Tag Team partner of Tuscini, at the door. James invites Dmitri in and the two sit in the chairs in front of the fire. James pours the White Zinfandel into his glass and then he pours the dark red liquid into the glass of Dmitri. He hands the glass to Dmitri and Dmitri sniffs the liquid and then tastes it.
DMITRI: Blood? Thank you James! I thought you felt drinking blood was an odd thing. I admire your desire to treat me in this manner. Where did you get this blood James?
JAMES: Yeah for ME to drink blood would be an odd thing but for you it is something you need to do. It is my blood Dmitri. I had Doctor Kin, my family Doctor, draw the blood for you. By the way I hope you don’t mind but my Blood Type is AB+ is that okay?
DMITRI: Do I mind? James did you know that your blood type AB+ is one of the rarest of the normal blood types meaning the positive factor ones? About 2 percent of everyone on the planet has AB+. Most have Type O+, while the others are either A+ or B+ with the negative versions of these blood types being rarer. Let me tell you a bit more about blood James. Type O+ is classified as the Universal Donor. They can give blood to any of the other blood types but they can only received from O+ and the same goes for A+ and B+ blood types. You are AB+ and it is so rare that it can only donate to someone else with AB+. Yes, James, it is, indeed, exceptionally rare. So I’m pleased you would share that special part of yourself with me James. Cheers!
James and Dmitri clink their wine glasses and take a drink of their respective liquids.
JAMES: I’m still surprised at Ekaterina throwing in the towel to end your match with J2H for the World Championship. She comes off as treating you as her creation and her pet but that act of ending the match seems to indicate something more is going on between you two.
DMITRI: I suggest you stop there James and don’t take this conversation further. What is between me and Ekaterina is not for you to discuss. Even though I am a Vampire like she is I don’t want to cross her and for a human to cross her would be the ultimate insult.
JAMES: Oh come on! We’re friends. We’re Tag Team partners. I feel we can have an open and honest discussion here. My gut feeling is that Ekaterina sees you as more than her creation and a pet. I honestly believe she lo…
James is cut off when Dmitri, as quick as a bolt of lightning, decks James to the floor. James is unconscious and Dmitri kneels down to attend to James to revive him. When Tuscini regains consciousness he is looking into the face of Dmitri who smiles and then he grabs James by the arm and lifts him to his feet. The two men are standing facing each other.
JAMES: What in the world just happened? I didn’t think White Zinfandel had that mean of a kick.
DMITRI: It wasn’t the wine James. It was me. I tried to warn you to not discuss the relationship Ekaterina may have, or thinks she has, with me. As far as I’m concerned I’m her creation and her pet and I leave it at that.
JAMES: That’s it? Just leave it hanging without closure? I still say that there’s more going on than meets the eye. Maybe it isn’t just Ekaterina. Maybe you are also in lo…
James again gets decked to the floor by Dmitri. This time Dmitri doesn’t immediately revive him but he takes a seat in the chair to wait for Tuscini to regain consciousness on his own. James revives and he slowly gets to his feet and he staggers over to his chair and takes a seat.
JAMES: Did you just deck me again?
DMITRI: Yes I did. I apologize. But seriously don’t mention anything about myself and Ekaterina again. Your comments could endanger both our lives. You are my friend and I don’t want to see you get hurt.
JAMES: For someone who doesn’t want to see me get hurt you sure are doing a good job of hurting me. Okay no more talk about you and Ekaterina. I have a match against Despayre for the Internet Championship this Sunday at Climax Control 167 to close out 2016 and I can’t be beat down and beat up before the match even starts. Thanks for coming by and thanks for being a great friend and Tag Team partner.
DMITRI: Thanks for understanding and thanks for inviting me over and allowing me to partake of your blood. I have to get off to other appointments. I will let myself out.
Dmitri stands up, finishes his drink, and he makes his way to the door and exits to the street. When the door closes behind him we return our attention to James Tuscini.
JAMES: With Dmitri gone, and with Uncle Pinky and Sandy out Christmas shopping, I have your undivided attention so I want you to listen up.
Tuscini returns to his chair where he drinks more of his White Zinfandel wine before continuing his comments.
JAMES: Since Steve Ramone defeated me for the Roulette Title at High Stakes VI he’s been on his normal dumb ass rant that since I never “earned” the shot at him when I won the Roulette Title Belt from him in May 2016. Then he states that I don’t have the right to a re-match contract for the Roulette Title Belt he currently holds even though as the previous Roulette Champion I have the right to the re-match contract. Ramone keeps asking what right I have to demand a re-match against him. Here’s the answer. I’m the 2nd longest-reigning Roulette Champion having been beat out by only Goth and Equinox who I believe tied in the length of time they held the Title Belt. Well, Steve, being that I held the Roulette Title for the 2nd longest period of time in the history of Sin City Wrestling that’s the only justification I need to challenge you for the Roulette Championship. Although you currently hold the Roulette Title Belt you will never be able to hold it for as I did. But you need to remember Steve that I have retained the re-match contract and one day you will have to honor it and face me again in the ring. That is unless you lose the Roulette Title Belt to Ryan Keys which is very likely he owned your ass at Climax Control 166. If I get to face you again I will de-throne you again as I did in May 2016. Just remember that 1 plus 1 equals 2, 2 plus 2 equals 4, and Tuscini facing Ramone when Ramone holds the Roulette Title equals another Title reign for Tuscini.
James finishes the wine in his glass and then he carries the two wine glasses, his and the one Dmitri was drinking from, to the Kitchen where he places them into the sink to be washed later. He returns to the living room where he picks up the two bottles, one with White Zinfandel wine and one with his blood that he gave to Dmitri to drink, and he returns them to the refrigerator in the Kitchen. Done with his cleaning up James returns to the living room where he again takes a seat in the chair in front of the fireplace.
JAMES: Please allow me to highlight why I am so damn special in Sin City Wrestling. Let me highlight why I am in the top 5 percent when it comes to talented and deserving wrestlers here. I not only have a very rare blood type with AB+ with only 2 percent of the world’s population possessing it but I also have a very high I.Q. No, not the highest on the planet as that belongs to Genius types like Stephen Hawking. Even so Stephen Hawking possesses a 160 I.Q. and on the top 12 list he is listed in 10th position. I carry a 131 I.Q. which equates into the top 3 percent of everyone on the planet and that qualifies me to join the group Mensa, if I wanted to but I don’t want to be associated with them. What other accomplishments have I obtained? I held the Roulette Championship twice and I’m currently the 2nd longest reigning Roulette Champion after Equinox and Goth. I’m currently carrying a Singles win-loss record of 11-5-1, Tag Team record of 4-2-0, and Overall record of 15-7-1. For those of you who don’t know how to do math it comes out like this. I have a winning percentage in Singles of 88.2 percent, Tag Team of 66.6 percent, and Overall of 65.2 percent. I’m sure that puts me into the top 5 percent of wrestlers in Sin City Wrestling as having the highest winning percentages. Are there others with a better percentage of wins than I have? Of course there are. But there are a hell of a lot more who have less winning percentage than those who have a higher percentage of wins than I do. I know you want to know what I think of my match against Despayre for the Internet Championship this Sunday.
Tuscini strikes a pose of someone in deep though. He then sits upright with a smile on his face.
JAMES: Aha! Let’s lay this all out in the open so there will be no confusion and no room for anyone to claim something was said that was never said or that they will try to claim I didn’t say something that I did, in fact, say. Despayre I believe you are one of the wrestlers in Sin City Wrestling who has a better overall win percentage than I do. I respect that. What else I respect about you is that I faced you on July 3, 2016, at Climax Control 152 and you were one of the few wrestlers to get a clean win over me by a pinfall. Did that upset me that I lost that match? Nope. I realized I was stepping into the ring with an accomplished wrestler and I knew I wasn’t going to walk in and that you would just flop on your back and allow me to pin you. Despayre you got a clean win over me. You didn’t use anything illegal. You didn’t have anyone run to ringside to distract me or interfere in the match. I respect wrestlers who are honest and clean and fair and that’s how I describe you Despayre. By the way that was only my 2nd loss in Sin City Wrestling and when you take into consideration that I started wrestling here in February 2016 and didn’t take my 2nd loss until July 2016, you realize how great a wrestler I am.
The door to the house opens and Pinky del Ferrando and Sandy Erwin walk in carrying bags with their purchases for Christmas gifts. They put their bags down in the hallway and join James in the living room.
PINKY: Seeing the cameraman I take it you are airing a segment right now?
SANDY: We didn’t mean to disturb you James. We will back off into the dining room until you are done.
JAMES: I won’t be long. When I’m done we can ride BART over to Oakland to eat dinner at Christopher’s Burgers. It’s an easy ride from the 16th and Mission Station in San Francisco to the Rockridge Station in Oakland. From the Rockridge Station it is about a 5 minute walk. Best burgers in Oakland. You can look it up while I continue with my segment. It is at 5295 College Avenue in Oakland.
Pinky and Sandy move over to the dining room. They are far enough from James so they don’t interfere with his segment but close enough to watch and hear what he is saying.
JAMES: Despy I gotta say what a pleasure it is to face off against you again. That first wrestling match in July 2016 was a new experience for me. You are one hell of a competitor and that evening you opened my eyes. I appreciate what you’ve accomplished in the sport of wrestling and that you continue to maintain the claim of purity and innocence which is rare for wrestlers in these days. Although you claim to be nice and pure and innocent you know that you are really the naughty one. You also know that Santa delivers a lump of coal for those who have been naughty as a punishment for their rude behavior. I will be the Santa who delivers you that lump of coal in a loss to me where you hand over the Internet Title Belt to me. On the other side some people claim I’m mean and naughty but in reality I’m the innocent and pure one. Santa delivers wonderful gifts to those who are nice and polite and innocent and pure and Santa is going to deliver the Internet Championship to me this Sunday.
James chuckles.
JAMES: Now, Despayre, you must be asking how in the hell our match, for the Internet Championship, happened to get placed on the Climax Control 167 card as the Main Event, with J2H defending the World Championship against Joshua Acquin ending up being the match before our match? How can the 3rd ranked Title Belt gain that level of priority over the 1st ranked Title Belt? I have the answer. The reason we are in the Main Event, and J2H versus Joshua Acquin is not, is because I’m in this match. I warrant being in the Main Event. I’m the crowd draw. I’ve proven myself to be one hell of a wrestler and 2nd longest reigning Roulette Champion. Be happy you are facing me Despy because if you were facing anyone else you would be opening the show instead of being in the Main Event of the evening.
James stands up from the chair and he stands in front of the fire place. The glow from the flames is his backdrop and from the camera angle it appears as though he is standing at the gates of Hell.
JAMES: Despayre I hate to have to be the one to end your Internet Title reign just before Christmas. I mean isn’t that like you receiving a lump of coal from Santa for being a bad boy? Yet I get the best Christmas gift ever. I get to walk into Climax Control 167 as the Challenger for the Internet Title Belt and I get to walk out of the arena as the newly crowned Internet Champion. What a hell of a way to close 2016 with a bang eh? And just so you know, and you cannot claim you were not warned in advance, should anyone from your Stable, or from anywhere else, attempt to get to the ring to interfere in our match on your behalf, Pinky del Ferrando will be there to stop them dead in their tracks. If you somehow manage to squeak out a victory against me I don’t want it tainted with interference or cheating. However, Despy, when I defeat you, it will be clean. It will be interference free. There will be no cheating on my side of the match. My win will be honest, clean, and legal, forever in the record books as one of the cleanest victories the wrestling world has ever seen. Enjoy your lump of coal Despayre. Merry Christmas! Ho Ho Ho!!!
Tuscini is done with his segment so he walks over to the dining room table where Pinky and Sandy are sitting. He tries to peek into some of the bags to see what gifts they purchased for him for Christmas but they quickly stop him.
PINKY: No way James. You have to wait until Christmas morning to open our gifts. However it will be nice to see you get the Internet Title Belt as an early Christmas gift on December 18th.
SANDY: No peeking in the bags James! Let’s get over to Oakland to Christopher’s Burgers. I’m hungry from all the shopping and getting out of the house gets you away from the bags with unwrapped gifts in them.
The three agree and they leave the house together to head off to Christopher’s Burgers in Oakland. The cameraman follows them out the door and after they lock the door and hail a taxi to take them to the BART Station the cameraman cuts his feet and the scene goes black.
