Few Weeks Ago
The Monday After The Climax Control Where Crystal Was Jumped
It was a scary time for the Zdunich family as they surrounded Christina’s bedside. Finally something caught their eye when Christina started to twist and turn around in the bed. Christina was in severe pain as she started to open her eyes. As soon as she did she was surrounded by her closest of friends and family. Seleana and Aurora both quickly stood up to get a better look at the woman. Meanwhile Charlotte and Mackenzie hovered by the door keeping a look out for a nurse. A yawn escaped Christina’s eyes as she finally met eyes with that of her wife.
“Where am I… What’s going on?!”
Seleana just shook her head with a sigh as she looked down at her wife. Aurora smiled as she leaned down and tried her best to hug her mother.
“Mommy you are awake!!!”
“You really don’t remember anything do you chickie?! You have been out for twelve hours. You weren’t responding to anything that the doctors tried to do for you. The only thing we could do was wait things out…”
Christina was lost for words as she really didn’t have a clue at what to say. She shrugs her shoulders as she tried to sit up but she didn’t make it that far as the pain kept her in bed. Christina let out a long drawn out moan as she looked back at Seleana.
“I was out for twelve hours?! I still don’t understand what happened…Why did I pass out?! None of it is making sense to me…”
“You were in the middle of doing your Rose Garden and Maki decided to knock you out. The beating was very badly. She shoved your head against a wall multiple times. She sent you crashing down against a chair. I know Brittany tried to get involved to stop her but Maki kicked her in her the face. I didn’t have time to make it to your rescue. By the time I got there security had gotten involved. You might have a hard time remembering things because it was very brutal. Doctors say you suffered a bad concussion…”
Christina just let’s a sigh escape her lips as she looks over at Mackenzie and Charlotte walking over to where she is in her bed. Mackenzie cracks her knuckles as she replies back to her.
“Sorry we weren’t there…Had we known what was going on you know we would have knocked her out…”
Charlotte nods her head as well.
“You are Golden Ring Casino which makes you family. You know we will always be there for you. Maki made some comments on social media that she might try to finish what she started in this hospital. We are here to make sure it doesn’t happen…”
Christina quickly shakes her head as she turns her attention over to Aurora who seems to be a crying mess. The little girl won’t let go of Christina as she reaches out to her.
“Mommy it is so scary seeing you like this… I don’t like it when you are in a bed especially when you sleep for a very long time. I just want you to be healthy so we can have fun and play video games. I love you mommy and I just want you to feel better…”
Seleana takes a moment to grab Aurora and holds her passionately in a tight hug. Christina just nods her head in return as she keeps an eye on everybody in the room. She struggles for a bit but she finally manages to bring some words out.
“Thank you for really looking out for me. Honestly all of you are my angels and I am thankful to have some strong women in my life. I can’t explain why Maki did what she did. Honestly I can’t think straight right now but whatever her reasons are I probably deserved it. I have made a lot of mistakes throughout my career. I have committed so many sins especially if you ask somebody like Christian and it was bound to catch up with me. Call it Karma. One thing I don’t want any of you to do is to look at me like I am a victim. I don’t want to seem weak. Let’s just admit I have made a lot of enemies and no matter what nothing will ever change. However what is more valuable is the way I bounce back from this. It’s how I rise up out of this bed and showcase how I will still fight to the very end…”
Christina begins to struggle as she slowly starts to move about but the moment she does is the very moment that Seleana quickly grabs her and looks down into her eyes.
“Estrellita don’t try to move. You need to save your strength. You just suffered another concussion in a two month span. You should take it easy. You don’t have to prove anything to me. I know you are strong and the world should as well. The only thing that matters is that you get better. Eavan heard what happened and she plans to visit you just to have a talk about what concussions mean. I know she wants for you to see her doctor just to make sure everything is okay…”
Christina once again tries her best to sit up as she keeps her eyes fixated on her wife. She finally manages to sit up as she lets a small grin escape her lips.
“Wow Eavan actually wants to visit me?! I guess I really am in pain and it must be serious. It’s fine though… I might as well try to repair all of those relationships that were broken before they really could get a chance to go well… If Eavan wants to help me out I will take her advice. Now is not the time to be arrogant. It has to be better than constantly being in a hospital bed right?!”
Christina tries to crack a grin but nobody seems to be giggling as she looks at everyone.
“Oh come on not one of that finds that funny?!”
Seleana shakes her head in disapproval.
“No chickie… It isn’t funny at all… We just want you healthy is all…”
All of them keep their eyes locked on Christina and it isn’t long before somebody else enters into the room. This other person is wearing a pair of blue scrubs with a white robe. The name badge reads Dr. Stevens. She is a blonde woman who looks to be in her early thirties. The woman enters the room holding a folder s she looks down at Christina.
“Hello my name is Dr. Stevens. I am the resident Neurologist here and I am very happy to see you awake and being reactive to all of your closest friends and family. You really gave us a scare by blacking out for twelve hours…”
Christina nods her head in return as she looks back at the woman.
“I know but at least I am awake now and that should be the only thing that matters right… I can’t wait to get out of this bed and leave the hospital. It’s the sooner I can get back to doing what I love the most and I can focus on making that evil English woman pay for what she tried to do to me…”
The doctor slowly nods her head in agreement as she looks right at Christina before moving her eyes to everybody in the room.
“If you all don’t mind I would like a chance to speak to Mrs. Zdunich alone. I have some things I wish to discuss with her and it is a very personal matter. You all should understand…”
Seleana quickly nods her head with a grin as she begins to exit the room.
“No problem we all understand. If you need anything we will all be outside of the room Estrellita. We love you and we will talk later…”
“Love you mommy!!!!”
“Alright Christina we are going to go for a walk make sure Maki is nowhere in sight. If things come up you know Charlotte and I will be right there…”
With that the four ladies exit the room just leaving Christina alone in the room with the doctor. Dr. Stevens closes the door behind them as she walks over and hovers over Christina.
“Okay Mrs. Zdunich I just wanted to take this time to really give you an update on what’s going on. Now when you were unconscious I had the hospital run some scans on your brain and your head to make sure you were fine. Now it is true you did suffer a concussion…”
Christina nods her head as she looks back at the doctor.
“Of course I suffered a concussion. This seems to be the trend right now. I am always in and out of here. I know Amber gave me during our last match with one another, not to mention this one chick basically blindsided me. The concussion was bound to happen but as long as I dust myself off I can get back up and fight again…”
Christina forces a smile out as she begins to giggle back in return but the doctor doesn’t have the same energy for a smile. She just sighs in return as she begins to Christina the scans of her brain.
“I don’t know how to break this to you but it looks like your brain has developed some major injuries. Right now it’s not a big deal but there is cause for concern. From the looks of the scan you are showing early signs of CTE… These constant attacks to your brain aren’t good. If the constant attacks keep up not only will you eventually have full blown CTE but you could develop something as severe as dementia. Your entire mind could go. You will forget things and might end up forgetting important things like your spouse or your children… I am sorry to break this news to you…”
Christina quickly sits up as her eyes meet with the doctor. She didn’t know what to say as she tried her best to plead her case.
“I DON’T WANT TO LOSE MY FUCKING MIND!!! How can I stop things from worsening?! I don’t want to be one of those people who went crazy or be in a position like somebody like the American football player Aaron Hernandez who self-destructed because the CTE got to him. There has got to be a way that I don’t end up in that type of situation…”
“Like I said right now your injuries are at their very earliest stage. If you don’t receive any more major injuries you won’t have anything to worry about. However if you want my personal opinion now would be the time to basically walk away from wrestling. I know it’s something you like to do but your health should be what you value the most and you have a future to think about…”
Christina quickly shakes her head as she looks back at the doctor in shock.
“Give up wrestling?! You have to be kidding me… That can’t be the answer. I love doing what I do… There has to be something else I can do… Please tell me there’s another option?!”
The doctor however shakes her head with a sigh.
“I am afraid I don’t have anything else to see… The scans are what are law around here… Anyway I just wanted you to know what was going on… Anyway take care and I know you will make the right decision. Think about your future and your children. That should be the most important thing on your mind… Anyway I will bring your family in now… Sorry to give you bad news…”
With that the doctor leaves the room as Christina looks at the scan. She shakes her head in disgust as she slowly moves the scans under her body. A few moments go by and that is when her closest loved ones are back in the room. They all seem befuddled as they run over to her. Aurora smiles passionately.
“Mommy is everything okay?! What did the doctor say?!”
Seleana nods her head with a grin as well.
“Yeah chickie… We are all worried what did she say?!”
Christina thinks about it for a few moments before she forces out a wide grin. She looks right into the eyes of her daughter before gazing up into her wife’s eyes.
“She said that I am going to be fine… I am going to make a complete recovery. I know I scared you all but I will be in top notch shape in no time! All I need to do is take it easy and I will be right back to where I was!”
They all begin to jump around excitedly especially her little daughter.
“That’s amazing news… We are going to throw a big party for you when you get out of the hospital. We have to celebrate big time and think about how we are going to beat up that stupid meanie Maki…”
Christina giggles in return.
“Take it easy sweetie… Let’s just take things one day at a time… As for now let’s just focus on me getting out of here right?!”
They all nod in agreement. However deep down beneath everything Christina didn’t know what to say. What the doctor just told her was a lot to handle. Right now she knew she wasn’t ready to quit wrestling and throughout everything she would find a way to make it work. She just needed time…
Hello SCW nation… Can I just say that it feels good to be competing on the 300th edition of Climax Control. I know it sounds crazy that we have reached the 300th mark but it makes me realize that SCW is definitely among the premier wrestling companies. Okay if I can be blunt it is honestly the best wrestling company that I have ever competed in. I have been competing as a professional wrestler for the past seventeen years. It has been a long hard fought journey and I have definitely experienced my share of highs and of course low points.
However nothing has ever been as exciting as it has being a member of the SCW Bombshell roster. I feel like I have been in a place where I have thrived in this division. I have done so many insane things and I really don’t know where I would be if I didn’t have Christian or Mark in my life. I know I can sit here and really talk up how I have competed in like twenty companies and people might try to claim that what I am saying might be a bunch of horse shit but that’s not the case at all. This is my home…
No matter how messed up things might be for me… Despite how much I drive everybody crazy by changing my personality on a dime, while trying to be their friend but quickly become their enemy in the very next breath. There has been no greater joy than it there has been by wrestling for SCW. This is my home and will do everything to take care of home. Now when I first came to this company I guess you could say I was very green. Granted I might have held a reputation but I was definitely still wet behind the ears. I knew I just couldn’t get by on my namesake alone. Hell I didn’t even want to expose that side about myself when I came here. I hid behind a mask and I tried to live up my father’s legacy by being the daughter he wanted me to be.
I tried to live out being that dove AKA La Paloma… I was going to take Lucha Libre to a new level and I was going to make it meaningful here. However when I got here I realized I was confident with myself. I could free myself of the mask and I could make my name really stand out. It was seven years ago when I came to this company?! In that time I feel like I have done so much. I won woman of the year along with most improved in the same year. I became a Roulette Champion, an Internet Champion, a Blast From The Past Winner, and even a Hall of famer. I have even shattered the record for capturing the most World Championships by winning the top prize a stunning five times.
As much as I accomplished it just never seems to be enough in my eyes because I feel like I want more. I feel there is still much to achieve and that is why I had my eyes fixated on other things. There are three names that I wish I had the chance to fight in my career. It’s honestly the only thing missing from my resume.
I just wanted to be able to step into the ring with three women who I consider the best of the best bombshells to ever grace the ring. I just wanted to prove I belong in the ring with women like Vixen, Misty, and Odette Stevens.
Now I can’t be in the ring with Misty and may she sleep in peace, and I know last year I had basically tried to do everything in my power to get into the ring with Vixen but nothing could ever move that match into motion. Things just didn’t work out and it really is a shame.
People might think it’s about my ego but it has nothing to do with that. I just want to face the best competition and see how I would stand to them. However what I will finally get on this anniversary show is the chance to step in the ring with Odette. Now I know people will probably try to call out my initial reaction as not really loving this match or being disappointed but that couldn’t be further from the truth.
The truth is I am extremely happy to be in the ring with Odette. Out of the three women I named she is the one who I can probably most identify with and that scares the living hell out of me. When she came to this company she relied on being a spot monkey. She did things for the big spot and to show that she could soar higher than anybody else. She wanted to make sure that people could keep up with her and that she picked up the speed at all times.
It’s funny because isn’t that me in a nutshell?! Granted as I got older I cut back on some of the over the top high risk maneuvers but it has always been about putting on a show. It has always been about the thrills and doing whatever it took to get people talking. As long as they had their eyes on me that’s all that ever mattered and I know the same could be said about Odette. However it pains me that she doesn’t get the proper respect that she rightfully deserves.
Like it was last year when Tommy Knox came out with that stupid list about expressing who he felt was the top five bombshells in the history of this sport. I know names like Delia, Alicia, and Mikah were dropped. However how can you disrespect somebody such as Odette Stevens?! I feel like that is a huge sign of disrespect for the things she has accomplished.
Just really sit down to look at what she has done in this company. She was the 2012 rookie of the year which means she came into this company unstoppable. She was an instant attraction and gained the attention of others. If memory serves me right doesn’t that mean she was the first person to receive that award?!
If that wasn’t enough she is the first woman to win the bombshell tag team championship on four different occasions. I guess we have a lot in common seeing as I was the first woman to win the World Championship four times and now the only one to hold ANY World Championship five times.
She was also part of the match of the year, best couple of the year, most popular, and won the very first Blast From The Past.
She is a former World Bombshell Championship and is a hall of Famer.
She has completed a lot of FIRSTS in this company and people either forget what she has accomplished or they tend to just no sell it. That’s a bunch of bullshit because I know that Odette is better than the credit that she has earned and what she is given in return. She should definitely be considered a top five bombshell and if you don’t have her on your list it’s a bunch of bullshit. She also paved the way for many Aussies to come into this company and to accomplish so much.
People like Evie, and Kale… Krystal Wolfe….
I feel Odette’s presence made her an inspiration to people who journeyed over from that side of the world. It is an absolute honor to be able to share the same ring with her. I know there will be people in the world who would be quick to under sell somebody or scream how they suck and how they are going to destroy somebody. However that’s not what I am going to do because I feel I was misunderstood when this match was first announced. Let’s not forget that I did suffer a concussion a few weeks prior and there are still some lingering issues from it so my reactions might not be all there.
Don’t mistake anything from me because if I am misunderstood I might as well drive the point home on how I feel about her by putting her over in the things I said. She deserves that much from me. I feel like being in the ring with her is going to feel like I am wrestling my reflection. It is going to be full of excitement and I don’t see how anybody can lose in a match like this.
If she beats me people will say she still has it and she should perhaps come back so she can pick up where she left off.
If I win people might question what might have happened if I was around when Misty, Vixen, and her were fighting at their very peak.
Although in the same breath people might undersell an Odette win by saying I threw the match or if I win that Odette is washed up. There’s so many negatives and positive perspectives that can emerge from a dream match such as this.
There is only one perspective that SHOULD matter and it is from that of the fans who will attend this big anniversary show because I think they are going to be the ones who will be the real winners of the night. They will be in for a treat as they see one of the best from the past meets one of the best from the present. It’s like a dream come true and it doesn’t get any better than that. Odette you can talk me down if you want too but honestly I think we both will be winners in this match. I feel like we are going to give the fans a classic and that is something to smile about.
Don’t take my respect for granted though because as much as all of this might be a dream come true the fact is I am going to do whatever it takes to win. I still have some stuff that needs to be resolved. I know people have questions that they want answered and I plan to give it to them.
Yes I am here for the long haul…
Yes I want to get back MY WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP!!!
I need to keep on being better than everybody else. I need to constantly prove myself and showcase I am deserving for whatever comes my way. I can’t afford to slip up now and I know somewhere Maki is watching and she is ready to see me lose my edge. I can’t afford to miss on a step now. I have to step up and show that I am more focused than ever and am ready for whatever lies in my future.
The future can be unclear at times but right now I plan to just take things one day at a time. As it stands you are what is in front of me and I need to do everything in my power to beat you. I know it will tough and it definitely isn’t easy. It doesn’t matter… I can’t crumble under the pressure. I need to persevere and more importantly I need to be better than you.
So bring that Hall of Famer to this match on Sunday. Let’s make CC 300 memorable and let’s put on a match that nobody will ever forget. I know you have a match of the year in you because I damn sure do. It probably has felt like an eternity since you been in the ring but none of that matters to me. The only thing that matters to me is beating you. I have to prove a point, and show the world that even though I might get beaten down, I still have the ability to pick myself up.
Rocky Balboa lost his edge after he lost his world title to Clubber Lang. His manager Mickey passed away and he was left with nothing.
That is when he got back up.
That was when he clawed to getting to where he was and he became even better, and even more hungry than what he was. He gained that eye of the tiger and right now I plan to get that back. First I need to get through you, then Maki, and finally take what Amber took from me.
I am focused and I won’t let anything break me now.
So bring your very best because I plan to give you my all plus some. It’s all or nothing, and if you didn’t realize it by now IT’S SHOWTIME!!!! Let’s make a movie shall we?! See you soon… Take a bow because this will be your FINAL CURTAIN…
