September 2020
I remember being at my brother’s house just days before Violent Conduct last year, sitting on his living room couch and feeling completely miserable. Much of the day was a blur, but I do remember that despite beating Keira Fisher recently, I was far from happy. I was feeling a weird sense of emptiness and every time Eddie tried to talk to me, I barely said a word back. After a couple of hours, as I was just gloomily staring at the floor and peeling off my fingernail polish in a fit of anxiety, my brother finally decided he had enough. He sat down next to me and broke the ice.
“Okay, what’s wrong?” he asked in an annoyed but sympathetic tone.
“Nothing…” I lied.
“Andrea, you know you can’t lie to me. You’ve been miserable all day. I thought winning against Keira Fisher and shutting her up after all those nasty things she said about you before that match would make you happy.”
“Like ONE win is going to erase the HELL that this summer has been for me?”
“Andrea, I know that this summer has been hell for you but…”
“But you have to push on and keep your head up because that’s what Dad would want, blah blah blah… save it…” I said, surprising my brother.
“You have to get over it at some point.”
“Look, beating Keira doesn’t change the fact that I am NOT on the Violent Conduct card this year…” I began. Mentioning that I was off the card entirely saddened me. My heart was so torn on the inside that the reality of not being on the supercard really made me want to cry. Tears came up, but I was able to hold them back. “I was in the main event of three Supercards in a row… and now I am not on a Supercard at all. Do you realize how much this hurts my pride? Do you realize that this painful reality really sums up how awful things have been for me since I lost the world title?”
“Andrea…. Look…”
Eddie wraps an arm around me.
“Just call up your bosses and see if they can get you a spot in the show. It’s at least worth a try.”
“But… they’re going to say…”
“At least TRY, Andrea…” Eddie continued, making me sigh.
“Fine…” I said with a reluctant tone in my voice as I pulled my phone out of my pocket and called the SCW offices.
“Hello?” I asked when I heard a voice on the other line. “Yeah, it’s Andrea. Hey… listen… I know I am not on the Violent Conduct card, but I’d really like to be on it. You can’t have someone main event three Supercards in a row then just leave them off the card…”
I paused for a response…
“I know that I have the Rose Garden with Christina, but that’s not enough for me! I can’t just fade away…”
Another pause as I heard their response, which suddenly saddened me.
“I know my heart wasn’t in that battle royal, but I was going through a hard time. I beat Keira though, that should be enough…. What do you mean you had the card finalized before I beat her? COME ON!”
I listened for a bit before I continued to plead my case.
“Please? Find me a match! I don’t care who it’s against! Just PLEASE find me a match! I don’t care if I have to wrestle Apple fucking Coren, just PLEASE give me a match! Don’t do this to me! Don’t leave me off the card!”
I heard nothing but a decline and an apology from the other end.
“What about the pre-show? Come on! Please? Can’t I have that? A pre-show match against someone from SCU? Put me in there against GRIME Goldenrod or SOMETHING…”
My heart sank when I was denied this final, desperate request. They were still talking, but I wasn’t listening anymore and finally, the call dropped. The tears came out of me once I had no choice but to accept that I was not going to be wrestling on Violent Conduct.
“I’m sorry Andrea…” Eddie said.
“Can this summer be OVER already?” I asked with a tearful sigh.
“Look, you still got that Rose Garden appearance with Christina. You are just going to have to make due with that.”
My sadness dissipated and my bitterness took over once I got this reminder.
“At least with that, you can solidify your friendship and your alliance with Christina and your audience is going to remember you. I think Christina can really do wonders for you, Andrea. I mean that. I think this alliance with her can really turn things around for you in SCW…”
“Yeah... sure. Being left off this card is the last straw…”
“What?”
I briefly snapped out of my anger and bitterness.
“Sorry…” I said with a sigh. “It’s just this summer, Eddie.”
“You know what you’ve got to do to turn this thing around…”he said as he stood up and headed back into the kitchen.
“Yes…” I said with my eyes narrowed in anger. “Yes, I do. I know what I must do and I am going to do it.”
I paused, looking around to ensure I was alone.
“Those two faced bitches in the back have NO IDEA what is coming. I am going to give Christina everything I’ve always wanted to give her. Then, and only then, will she know how I truly feel about her…”
I smirked knowing that the assault that I eventually carried out was a secret that only I knew. But what I didn’t know was that the moment I DID assault her and stopped giving a damn about approval from anyone else would turn my entire career around…
After all, looking out for me and me alone since then has really kept me focused.
It made me driven, motivated and determined to never have a summer of hell again.
It pushed me to ensure that I NEVER got left off a supercard again, that I was done being a pushover and that I was through with being the one that everyone trashed and written off.
It pushed me to want to become a champion in Sin City Wrestling again and truly silence ALL the haters I dealt with in the process.
It has made me BETTER as a wrestler, it has truly brought out the absolute BEST of me on all facets of the game.
And it’s about to make me the SCW Bombshells Internet Champion.
For the second year in a row at Violent Conduct? I am going to give this Bombshells locker room a REAL reason to hate me!
Climax Control - Last Sunday
After I had made my feelings heard about Dani Weston, but before my actual match against her, I was having a fun, laughing time as I was absolutely beaming on the inside about how I just tore Dani to shreds in my promo that included calling her the most overrated Bombshell in SCW history. My boyfriend Lorenzo and I were having a grand old time to ourselves as I was making some final, mental preparations for the match that was to come that night.
“You held NOTHING back against Dani…” Lorenzo reminded me. “Nothing! I bet that it’s going to ruffle so many feathers because it’s DANI and she’s LEGENDARY!”
“PFFFT! WHATEVER!”
I scoffed and let out a laugh.
“I have NO regrets about what I just said about her, because everything I said is true. It’s a fucking joke that someone like HER is even involved in this.”
“It’s stupid that she’s even held in such high regard just because she had one fluke, Cinderella run. You should be able to take her with ease.”
“Beating her is going to feel SO GOOD because I look at that overrated, overhyped BITCH and I see ME… well the OLD me. Certain people in Sin City Wrestling took great joy in either tearing my heart out of my chest and destroying my dreams or celebrating the fact that someone else did that to me. Well, tonight? I get to deliver that ‘FUCK YOU’ to those people right back when I do the same thing to that pathetic little BITCH! I’m going to make her wish she never came back. Her face fucking disgusts me…”
I suddenly see Lorenzo’s expression change from excited to annoyed. I narrowed my eyes with confusion.
“What?” I asked.
Lorenzo pointed behind me before he ultimately left me alone. I was about to feel a massive amount of hatred pour through my soul and a horrific feeling of disgust go through my stomach because the moment I turned around, I saw Keira Fisher with her arms folded and giving me a look of disapproval. My blood was already boiling.
“You just don’t get it, do you?” she asked me, causing me to roll my eyes.
“You know, I really SHOULD get a restraining order on you one of these days. Why are you bothering me? Are you going to start going off about how I complain about everything? AGAIN?”
“Actually, I came to wish you luck against Dani…” Keira said to my confusion. Through said confusion, I scoffed at the notion.
“Oh please! Not this game again! It’s already annoying enough that I have to clean up YOUR mess considering that YOU are the one that lost to her two weeks ago.”
“Do we really need to be fighting all the time?” Keira asked me.
“I don’t need luck to beat Dani Weston, okay?”
“I also wanted to see if you were interested in letting bygones be bygones…”
“I’m sorry… WHAT?”
Now I was both confused and surprised. My guard was immediately up as I did not trust Keira’s intentions whatsoever.
“After all the SHIT you’ve talked about me, after the way you have constantly treated me, after trying to be nice to me one day and then going back to talking shit to me the next day, you’re coming in here to make amends. I don’t buy it, Keira. How’s this going to work? We’re going to ‘make amends’ and then tomorrow on Twitter, you’re going to talk shit about me again? Sorry, not interested! Besides, if YOU beat Dani, you’d be facing me tonight and this conversation doesn’t even exist. This is just convenient for you, Keira. Seriously! You are without question my biggest hater in the locker room these days and I don’t trust you for ANYTHING!”
Keira just shakes her head.
“Just leave me alone, okay?”
“You really have such a terrible attitude about all of this…”
“Do you not know what the words ‘leave me alone’ mean? Of course, you can never make up your mind about me. Sorry, I’m not dealing with the one person that represents ALL of the HATE that I’ve ALWAYS had in the SCW locker room.”
“You do realize that before you assaulted Christina last year, nobody actually hated you, right?”
“SURE! And my dad’s about to rise from the grave! You and everyone else has hated me from the moment I walked in that door.”
“Not true! You really have overplayed this whole ‘hate’ thing in your head acting like everyone’s been out to get you. I know that certain people said things to you that were uncalled for and I know you were overwhelmed with some hateful nonsense from certain people, but that doesn’t mean EVERYONE was out to get you while you were the SCW Bombshells World Champion. Yes, you had a HANDFUL of people that were hating you back then, but it wasn’t EVERYONE like you’ve had in your head for far too long.”
“That hate STILL happened, Keira. I get that being on top has everyone going after you… but people like Alicia, Evie, Kate, just to name a few? They took it WAY too far! You can downplay it all you want and say that ‘it wasn’t everyone’, but it doesn’t change the fact that IT STILL HAPPENED!”
“So you’re going to just let someone like Evie who has been long gone from SCW and her words which were empty to begin with continue to force you to carry all of this anger and hate within you? You’re still going to take out your anger that you’ve held onto for more than a year because of ONE person out on everyone else?”
I let out an audible sigh.
“It’s really sad that someone of your caliber still wants to carry such anger in their heart. It hurts to see, really.”
“AW! You’re acting like you actually CARE about me! Hey, how much longer before you’re all over Twitter calling me ‘Karen’ again and turning on the camera to hope and pray that SOMEONE beats me in the tournament considering you never wanted me in it to begin with. You’re a two-faced hypocrite, Keira, just like all of them.”
“I just don’t want you to go down this path much further because it’s not healthy. You need to stop this NOW before you completely destroy yourself.”
I busted out laughing quite hard in Keira’s face as I was NOT buying her latest ‘convenience’ in my own mind of suddenly ‘caring’ about me.
“Are you trying to ‘save me’ Keira? You should’ve done that last summer when I was going through the shit I was going through. But noooo… you know what you did last year instead of ‘caring about me’? You went on camera and CONSTANTLY ran me down. Remember that? Remember how going into THAT battle royal. You blamed ME for the world title situation being in the shape that it was at the time! YOU BLAMED ME!”
Keira doesn’t say anything at this point.
“You said that people didn’t want to challenge Evie because of ME! You even said I didn’t deserve to be in that battle royal! You throw THAT shade at me and you think I can be all ‘I forgive you’? NO! Oh and then a couple of weeks later when we faced each other…. OOOOOH, how can I EVER forgive OR forget that? You think I am going to forget how YOU ran me down and wrote me off as old news? You think I am going to forget how YOU were the one that tried SO HARD to say that I FELL SO HARD after losing the world title with your BULLSHIT PROPAGANDA about me?”
“That wasn’t me trying to hate on you or hurt you…” Keira said in response. “If anything, I was trying to make you see how far you really had fallen at that point. But you took it as if I was labelling you old news and that I was labelling you as a has been when that was never how it was intended to be taken at all.”
“It doesn’t MATTER how it was supposed to be taken. What MATTERS is how I TOOK IT… and THAT is how I took it. My rock bottom was hearing someone like YOU say those words to me and even after I BEAT YOU in that match and after I BEAT YOU AGAIN recently, you have NEVER apologized to me for what you said to me, you have NEVER admitted that you were wrong about me… because you WERE! I rose up from the fucking grave, Keira IN SPITE OF YOU! The fact that you STILL try to put me down and CONTINUE to be a pain in my ass further proves that any attempts at ‘making amends’ are completely disingenuous!”
Keira’s expression showed no fear of me, nor did it show any signs of wavering. She exuded no signs of regret or any signs of cracking and this even bothered me a bit. She was taking this well, which shocked me.
“You’ve done it now, Keira. You really have. You are SO LUCKY that it’s DANI that I’m facing tonight and not you. The NERVE to come in here and try to ‘make amends’ after all the SHIT you’ve said to me in the past and after how TRASH you’ve treated me.”
“I do mean what I’ve said in that anything I’ve said about you was never meant to hurt you.”
“Is that a lie about me on Twitter that you’re going to post about me on top of all the OTHER LIES you’ve put on there about me? Seriously Keira, fuck off and get out of my face. Do yourself a favor and begin to prepare an apology speech to Dani Weston for her career being over because OH MY GOD, you have REALLY pushed my anger to a level that I didn’t even know it was capable of reaching! Don’t you EVER try to ‘make amends’ with me again…”
I turned around and quickly bolted for the locker room exit angrier than ever. I didn’t stick around to see Keira’s facial expression nor did I stick around to hear anything else she had to say. My anger and bitterness from over the last year was really sticking with me and it sure as hell carried over into my match against Dani Weston moments later.
When I went out there against Dani, it really felt like I was taking on the entire Bombshells locker room. I hit Dani harder than I anticipated as a result of the anger that had skyrocketed because of Keira Fisher and when I literally bent Dani backwards and made her tap out, I felt this amazing feeling of happiness rush through my veins.
I became one win away from being a champion in SCW again.
One win away from FINALLY SILENCING the HATERS such as Keira Fisher and making them eat a bunch of shit.
And knowing already that I was going to be going up against Mercedes Vargas?
I was REALLY liking my chances!
THE FOLLOWING MESSAGE WAS APPROVED BY ANDREA HERNANDEZ
The next campaign video cuts in on a studio shot of Angelica Romero, my media correspondent. She was in a bright mood as she began to present my latest campaign message.
“Hi, this is Angelica Romero, Andrea’s media correspondent and the official spokesperson of her Internet Championship campaign. This tournament has surely had its fair share of surprises… albeit, there have been disgusting, horrendous surprises like the return of Dani Weston and Bobbie Dahl. Heck, we just had a massive surprise last Sunday on Climax Control when Mercedes Vargas defeated Bobbie to get to the finals. But you know what WASN’T a surprise? Andrea getting to the finals.
That’s right, the same Andrea that CRYBABIES like Keira Fisher never wanted in this tournament.
The same Andrea that ALL OF YOU wrote off last summer as being old news.
Yes, THE Andrea Hernandez that made EVERYONE hate her when she brainbustered Christina last year at Violent Conduct and will CONTINUE to make you all hate her WHEN she wins the Bombshell Internet Championship. But, would the OLD ANDREA have done this? I went out on the campaign trail to find out what idiots like YOU sitting at home and eating Hot Cheetos in your mother’s basement thought… Here's my latest special report….”
The video cuts to Chelsea LeClair, Andrea’s former best friend, standing next to Angelica inside of a gym.
“Would the OLD Andrea have gotten to the finals of the Internet Championship tournament?”
Chelsea rolls her eyes.
“OF COURSE! Come on! Seriously? There was never any need for her to go through with this with the attitude that she has displayed. I’m so disappointed that she abandoned who she really is and has resorted to this dog and pony show of a ‘political campaign’. The way she handles things now is disgusting”
The video cuts to Angelica with Andrea’s brother Eddie in his living room.
“The sad thing is that the answer is yes. Andrea was always talented enough to get this far without resorting to… you know. My sister would’ve made it to the finals. No question. My father taught her everything she ever needed to be in order to be successful and just that alone was good enough to carry her through. What a shame that she spit in his face...”
The video cuts back to Chelsea…
“The ‘old Andrea’ that she runs down and writes off so much was the one that won the world title…” she reminds the audience. “She is the one that faced all of those tremendous odds that were stacked against her, despite so many people writing her off, and beat two of the best in SCW history to make it happen. She’s the rare breed that could do what she did.”
Cut back to Eddie…
“If she was capable of beating Roxi and Christina at the same time, she was going to beat Jessie and Dani one on one, two weeks in a row. It's as cut and dry as that. Not to mention that ‘old Andrea’ also overcame the unfitting environment of OCW and made THAT work against the odds, the horrible experience of the UWA locker room running her down and acting like she was nothing and… of course, the abuse in GCW that Myra Rivers put her through. How can she not see that?”
Cut back to Chelsea…
“That ‘summer of hell’ that she complains about so much… had she stayed the course, she would’ve overcome it. I’m happy for her that she did, but did she HAVE to overcome it the way she has? When she did what she did to Christina last year, I was floored. I never, ever imagined she had that in her. She has done great this year, I will give her that. But the way she’s done it makes me really sad and long for my best friend….
Cut back to Eddie.
“She went through a lot. My sister dealt with my dad dying and the locker room being hard on her. But, she did get through it. ‘Old Andrea’, ‘New Andrea’, it doesn’t matter. She was always going to overcome that. A friendship with Christina would’ve helped and then… she did what she did. It’s heartbreaking to see my sister become what she’s become…
The footage cuts back to Angelica in the studio as she just scoffs and rolls her eyes in amusement.
“It is clear that her brother and her best friend and tag partner are a representation of you LITTLE PEOPLE that were once fans of her: you know NOTHING about wrestling. You can all blindly believe that the ‘old Andrea’ would’ve made the finals in your little fantasy dreamlands where you lived vicariously through her once upon a time, but the fact of the matter is? Andrea wouldn’t be in the finals if she remained daddy’s little girl. She would’ve found some way to lose to Dani Weston if she didn’t change her ways. The ANDREA you know now is stronger, better, WAY more confident and more ready than before to be a champion in Sin City Wrestling. It would’ve taken a MIRACLE for that weakling you all knew to make the finals.
But I guess Mercedes Vargas has the ‘miracle’ quota covered in the tournament already, doesn’t she? This has been Angelica Romero with this special campaign report!
Angelica has more of a laugh to herself as she walks away and the scene cuts.
August 30, 2021
CELEBRATION TIME!
“It’s been a LONG time since I’ve felt SO HAPPY!” I exclaimed with joy as I celebrated in my living room with Lorenzo, Angelica and Regina, my superfan campaign manager. Party favors were all over the place. A “one win away” banner was hanging from the ceiling. Regina was wearing a “Dani Tapped Out” t-shirt that I was ready to market in the near-future. Lorenzo and I exchanged a passionate kiss as we all watched the moment where I submitted Dani Weston to advance to the finals.
“It’s BEAUTIFUL…” Lorenzo said as he wiped away a fake tear.
“What’s beautiful? Me or that bitch tapping out?” I asked, as my entire ‘team’ shared a laugh. “I want to thank all of you. You have been a WONDERFUL campaign team and I can not WAIT for our convention where I accept my party’s nomination for SCW Bombshells Internet Champion! You have been great with your support! Last year, I had people like my STUPID FAMILY behind me and they dragged me down! But you all have been amazing in more ways than one!”
“I am SO PSYCHED!” Regina blurted! “My all time FAVORITE WRESTLER is in the FINALS and did the division a TRUE JUSTICE by winning against someone that didn’t deserve to be in the tournament at all.”
“I don’t mean to sound like an interviewer right now…” Angelica said with a smirk. “But, I HAVE to ask you: when Dani tapped out, what was that feeling like?”
“AMAZING!” I exclaimed instantly. “Her tap out was music to my ears, y’all! When she tapped out, I had this AWESOME adrenaline rush and this WICKED feeling poured through me and when it sank in, I realized that I had shattered someone else’s dream. I felt AWESOME knowing that I took that bitch’s Cinderella story and DESTROYED IT! I never, ever imagined that ruining someone’s comeback and shattering their dream would feel this good and you know what the best part is? It is perfectly justified! You all do realize how many times and for how long I had to suffer through someone shattering MY dreams, right?”
“All those times in UWA you were denied the Cruiserweight title back in 2016…” Angelica points out. “...when you wanted to prove you could stand out on your own, but everyone took pride in shattering a dream you would eventually realize…
“OCW…” Lorenzo points out. “...when you won their Paradigm title and someone else stole it from you by cheating… and when someone that didn’t deserve to be Craze champion completely blocked you from being a main eventer there…”
“Evie Jordan…” Regina points out with a shrug. “Enough said!”
“All AMAZING examples of instances where someone else dragged me down and completely shattered a dream of mine. I was ALWAYS the one that ended up as the victim, but now I am the one doing the victimizing. That’s why beating Dani feels SO FUCKING GOOD because I FINALLY feel like I am getting YEARS worth of revenge! I am ONE WIN AWAY! GOD, it’s amazing! Anyway, I’m going to need you all to step out for a second while I prepare my nomination speech, alright?
Everyone nodded as they began to leave. As I went to sit down on the couch, I was surprised to see that Regina had come back to sit next to me.
“Can I talk to you for a minute?”
“Look, you have been an AMAZING campaign manager and the way you completely portrayed Dani when we had that ‘debate’ before my match against her was a wonderful performance. I don’t think giving you a few minutes to talk would be so bad. What’s on your mind?”
“I’m about to let you in on a little secret. I know that when you did what you did to Christina and have been what you have been since then, you have drawn all sorts of hate and criticism. The fans of ‘old Andrea’, for the most part, abandoned you. Those fans want to hang on to the past and such, but let me tell you something. I have been a huge fan of yours since the beginning.”
My eyes lit up when I heard this.
“Really? Interesting…”
“Yeah, I am talking about GCW when you and Chelsea hit the scene as Sedona Sky.”
“Wow, you really ARE a loyal fan. And yet, there is something that I am not understanding. All of these fans that I once had are stuck in the past. I saw what Chelsea and Eddie had to say about me and it is honestly quite sad. They DO represent all those stupid, annoying fans that want me to ‘go back’... all their talk about how ‘old Andrea’ would’ve made it to the finals anyway and how there was no need for me to change my ways. What those idiots fail to realize is that if I never changed my ways, I would’ve remained WEAK. I would’ve stayed a pushover and ultimately, I wouldn’t even BE in SCW right now. Selfish jerks. Those fans LOVED that smiling, inspirational IDIOT that was fragile as hell! How can you be a fan of me now when you were also a fan of THAT?”
“It’s a little more complicated than that. I was at GCW’s Resurrection event in 2018 when you went in as the North American Champion, defending your title against Jenni Anderson. It was a Last Woman Standing match…”
“One of my all time favorite matches in my career even to this day… I mean, it WAS my star-making performance!” I said with a smile. “It’s a shame that the fans that I had talk about how that inspired them to pursue their dreams… because it wasn’t about them, it was about ME! They all act like it was ‘nice Andrea’ that won that match and put Jenni down for the count. It REALLY bugs me when they say ‘well OLD ANDREA accomplished THIS… and OLD ANDREA accomplished that…’ They put the nice girl that I was on a pedestal! It’s sickening!”
“It wasn’t ‘nice Andrea’ that retained the North American title that night though…” Regina said, much to my delighted surprise. “You were anything BUT nice to Jenni that night. You dove off a freaking balcony and put her through HOW MANY TABLES 20 feet below? You didn’t win that match because you were ‘nice’, you won that match because you were willing to do ANYTHING it took to do so!”
“OH MY GOD! FINALLY!” I said with a sigh of relief! “FINALLY someone gets it! It’s the same thing with the world title. I didn’t win it from Christina nor did I retain it against her because I was SO NICE and WANTED TO BE HER FRIEND! I said and did whatever the fuck I had to do to make that happen!”
“I’m still a fan of yours all this time because unlike most of those ‘fans’, it wasn’t you being nice and sweet and innocent that made me a fan… because that’s not what wins you matches… it was you never giving up and overcoming ALL of the adversity that you go through. Even NOW, you STILL do that. That’s the one thing that has not changed about you from last year and I’m SO AMAZED by it because very few people would have been able to endure and survive having their dreams crushed again and again. What I have always admired about you is that you continue to get knocked down over and over again and you STILL keep going! ‘Nice Andrea’ or not, that has been the one thing that has stood out in your entire career… even if all the HATERS want to dismiss and overlook that just because of how you carry yourself or whatever fucking excuse they want to throw at you because that damn locker room NEVER wants to give you credit for anything…”
“I really have overcome so much in the last year, haven’t I?” I said in a slightly calm tone of voice. “You’re right though, the HATERS will never give me credit for it because they’ve had it out for me from the beginning. BUT, THEY don’t matter! I DO! I overcame so much of THEIR shit to get to where I am now and I can’t WAIT to make them cry when I win that Internet Championship. Thank you so much for the perspective, seriously… and for being one of the very few that actually get me…”
“Always!” Regina said with a beaming smile as she stood up. “I have a feeling that Violent Conduct will be the ultimate catharsis party for you where you finally conquer all of that hate that you have dealt with once and for all!”
Regina leaves me alone in the living room in one hell of a mood.
“Yes…” I said in agreement. “...it really will be my final healing from all the hell that I’ve been through….”
I stayed coy and distant for a little bit longer, reflecting on all of the adversity I have overcome throughout the year that no hater in the locker room would ever give me credit for. The lack of credit didn’t bring me down. In fact, realizing that I had overcome so much bullshit over the last year further increased my confidence and I was already beginning to feel I’d be in rare form going into Violent Conduct.
September 4th, 2021
I entered the familiar auditorium to the same piped in cheers and chants as before and I was beaming with excitement and pride. The banner now said “National Convention of ALL Things Andrea” and I looked back at it with joy. Pro-Andrea banners were littered all over the walls of the auditorium as well as some slogans such as “Down With The Status Quo”, “One More Win”, “Ready For Andrea”, “She’s a Delorian, not a MERCEDES” and “Conquer Jealousy”. I took in some of the piped in cheers from the auditorium speakers and looked out into an otherwise empty building as I began to express my thoughts.
“Thank you… thank you…”
“ONE MORE WIN! ONE MORE WIN!” the piped in chants said through the speakers.
“THANK YOU!”
More piped in cheers before I began my official nomination speech.
“I’m going to cut right to the chase and thank my ENTIRE campaign team for doing an AMAZING job through this process. Haters in Sn City Wrestling wanted to deny the inevitable. They wanted to bring me down SO hard! You had Johanna “Do Nothing” Kreiger resort to name calling on Twitter and when I responded back, she had nothing to say. You had Keira “Hater” Fischer come out and BEG and PLEAD SCW to NOT include me in the tournament. You had Dingleberry Dani call herself THE FAVORITE on Twitter only to flop just like she has for 80 percent of her career. You had Jessie Salco who was aiming SO HARD for that primary upset and who wanted to bring my campaign down SO BAD! And in the end, they all failed! The convention has begun and I am here to officially ACCEPT the nomination of the “All Things Andrea” Party for the Bombshells Internet Champion of Sin City Wrestling! Next weekend comes the election that we have ALL been striving for and to be one of the two that is vying for the Internet Championship is such an honor. I knew all along I would get here. It’s not like MY side of the bracket was THAT difficult. It may have been a LITTLE bit interesting if Keira beat Dani but in the end? I FLAWLESSLY got here. I admit, I was expecting to see Bobbie Dahl here with me. I mean, she beat Seleana Zdunich with ease and I figured she’d beat the winner of Delorian Vargas and Do Nothing Kreiger… except she didn’t. Mercedes Vargas of all people is in the finals with me. Yeah, I was shocked. There’s no denying that. But see… this is where it ENDS, Mercedes Vargas.
You think you’re going to be RELEVANT AGAIN? You think that getting to the finals of this tournament makes you RELEVANT? Nope, don’t even start with that talk. Don’t even think that just because you got to the finals and pulled a shocker out of your ass in the semifinals, that it means that you are suddenly BACK. No, you are NOT “back” and I am going to see to it that this little Cinderella run that you’re on is going to come to a screeching halt. As you saw last week on Climax Control, I ENDED a Cinderella story and while I will die on the hill that I built that Dani Weston is the most overrated Bombshell in SCW history, I will at LEAST say that on most nights, she IS superior to you. The ONLY two reasons why you even GOT this far was because you got DO NOTHING KRIEGER in round one and she just happens to be one of the few women on this roster that most people would realistically give you a chance against. If you got Seleana, Dani or Keira in round one? Forget it! As for Bobbie? Well, on top of the fact that she was most likely rusty to begin with, you already wasted your once a tournament miracle AND your once a year miracle. Whatever energy you expended for that match against Bobbie, you are not going to have the ability to achieve against ME because I am NOT Bobbie! I am NOT the biggest choker in SCW history that ALWAYS FAILS when there’s a championship at stake.
You are the one person that is now standing in the way of my retribution for ALL of the BULLSHIT that I’ve dealt with over the past year. YOU are the personification of SO much of that Mercedes. I have preached, ad nauseum, of how ridiculously bullshit it is that someone like YOU gets more frequent opportunities than I do when I am going out there busting my ass, winning every single match that was in front of me, 10 in a row and 13 of my last 14 since that fucking horrible battle royal experience by the way, and you just float around constantly losing, constantly getting opportunities that you don’t deserve and constantly dropping the ball over and over again. I mean for fuck’s sake, you’ve had HOW many opportunities despite your below mediocre record and the fact that you only seem to exude any passion for what you do when it is convenient for you? You’ve had CHANCE after CHANCE to regain relevance this year only for you to fall, and fail. You could’ve started a renaissance when you faced Alicia Lukas back on Inception. Did you fail? Of course you did! You recently had a chance against Krystal Wolfe for the Roulette Championship even though I far and away deserved an opportunity more than you did, and you couldn’t get the job done either. Hell, last Supercard, you’re tapping out to BELLA FUCKING MADISON!
SERIOUSLY?
HOW could you be a VIABLE Internet Champion when you can’t even beat someone like BELLA MADISON! Bitch, Bella Madison is someone that I defeat in my sleep on any given night and you tap to her in a blindfold match? And you have the nerve to run her down as ‘unworthy’ in the fashion that you did. I REFUSE to let someone like YOU win the Bombshells Internet Championship because someone like YOU winning it will result in the Internet Championship going back to the “GOOD OL’ DAYS” where some old, random ass nobody bitch named Joanne Canelli was the first Internet Champion and where the championship was changing hands every one to two months among the likes of Roxi Johnson, Lucy Seraphina and Amy Santino. We do NOT need to go back to the era where someone like YOU wins the Internet Championship and loses it two months later to Jessie Salco. We are NOT going back to that era, Mercedes. If by some SHOCKER you were to win at Violent Conduct, you would lose it three weeks later. You want to come in here and be a REDEMPTION STORY, Mercedes? Is that what this tournament is about for you? It sure seemed that way from the way you described your loss in that Roulette Championship match… you know, the one that you ‘couldn’t accept’.You admitted yourself that you have been ‘too easy going and lenient’.
You ADMIT your own complacency. The Bombshells Internet Championship deserves MORE than complacency. You and your “I can win a title any time I please” BULLSHIT further proves that you HAVE grown complacent and that you REFUSE to grow and refuse to evolve. You’re still the same fucking person that walked in here many moons ago without even an iota of difference. I watched you on SCW television when I was a fan and when I was coming up through the Indies and as someone that watched you on SCW television each week? You never SERIOUSLY impressed me. Sure, you were winning championships in that era and you were coming up clutch with those titles and all those big name opponents that you were beating then, but NEVER did I EVER look at you and think ‘damn, this girl is the top bitch in SCW’. I never felt that with you. Period. I never felt that you were someone that was a company flag bearer because there were so many women of that era that have had so much better careers than you. Every time you were a world champion, you always felt like some transitional holdover until someone better came along and beat you and the fact that you can’t even achieve THAT much considering you’ve only won what? NINE whole matches in the last one and two thirds calendar years COMBINED on the SCW roster? Think about that, Mercedes. In 2021 alone, I have won MORE MATCHES than YOU have in 2020 AND 2021 COMBINED! It not only further proves my superiority over you, but it shows you how far you’ve truly fallen. This little ‘comeback’ you’ve had going on in this tournament, as recent history suggests, is nothing but a mirage, Mercedes and the sooner you begin to accept that, the better.
But you’re not going to accept that. If you did, you would’ve been gone at least three years ago. If your ego wasn’t in the fucking way, you wouldn’t be throwing your legacy down the drain, hanging on for so damn long. See, that’s the problem I have with many of the OLD SCHOOL bombshells… if they aren’t leaving and coming back *cough* Dani and Bobbie *cough*, they hang around too long… just like you have, and Roxi has, and Christina has, and Sam has. You complain about respect, but why should I respect someone that’s held on for too long? You’re talking about Johanna spinning her wheels, and you’re not wrong, but isn’t that YOU too with your supercilious, airheaded ego? I mean seriously, I thought I had an ego yet here you are, in the vicinity of being 30 matches below 50/50 as far as your win-loss record is concerned, and you’re having an ego trip in that blog of yours prior to the Johanna match talking about your legacy and adding a championship to that.
WHAT legacy, Mercedes? A legacy of being a top five loser by pure win-loss record in Sin City Wrestling history? A legacy that you have long wasted by now? A legacy that slowly but surely, you’re not so sure you can even defend anymore considering that you admit that you should’ve never been in this tournament to begin with? Nobody is trying to take away your accomplishments and what you’ve done in Sin City Wrestling… at least I’m not. But for fuck’s sake, can you quit being so BLINDED by your ego that is STILL telling you to push forward? It’s one thing to keep going at the age that you are just out of pure passion and love for the business. It’s another thing to do what YOU are doing and continue to try to compete and win championships even though evidence to the contrary has been piling up for the last three years or so. Look, I TOTALLY GET having an EGO… I got one too, NO SHIT! You ADMIT that you’re ‘not the competitor that you once were’ in your blog prior to your match against Bella… and yet… you say these AMAZINGLY STUPID THINGS… among them…
“But I am still better than most of the division…” PFFFFFFFFT! Christina, Myra, Amber, Kate, Alicia, myself, Sam Marlowe, Seleana, Krystal Wolfe… and I can’t believe I am throwing her in there…, Roxi, Keira, Bella by default since she beat you at Summer XXXtreme, Ruby… have I named half of the division yet? Because those are ALL names I can think of off the top of my head that are CLEARLY better than you are. This delusion of grandeur that you have is unfuckingbelievable. I mean SHOOT, there you are calling your match with Bella a ‘piece of cake’ and she beat your ass and tapped you out. But you call BELLA the ‘conceited princess’? YOU… the woman that… IN SPANISH… called yourself the “greatest of all time” and “the record-breaking, ground-breaking, history-making, trail-blazing, name-taking, legend-beating, most winning champion of champions…”... are calling SOMEONE ELSE conceited? Bitch, get the FUCK out of here with that hypocritical, delusional nonsense. I’m not denying what you’ve accomplished in Sin City Wrestling but SERIOUSLY? You brag about having the most overall titles in the Bombshell division but what does it actually MEAN when only ONE of those reigns… ONE… of ALL the championship reigns you’ve ever had in this company, lasted longer than two months? And that ONE that did, that Roulette title run you had that went about six months? Bitch, that was six to seven YEARS ago! I mean come on! Twelve championships in SCW and ELEVEN of them lasted two months or less? THAT is the standard that YOU consider to be ‘the greatest of all time’? Now, if we’re talking about the greatest TRANSITIONAL CHAMPION in SCW history… SURE, I can see that with you!
THAT standard of PURE MEDIOCRITY is what YOU rest your laurels on? NO WONDER you’ve stagnated! Perhaps this UNBELIEVABLE arrogance of yours is why you… as you YOURSELF have acknowledged, aren’t the competitor that you used to be. THAT MEDIOCRITY of being a constant transitional champion makes you ‘better than most of the roster’? PLEASE! You take Alicia’s 280 day World title reign and Myra’s 350 day Internet title reign and both of those reigns COMBINED are better than eleven of your title reigns. I mean SHIT, it’s SO EASY to win so many championships when you’re ALMOST ALWAYS LOSING THEM IN TWO MONTHS OR LESS! Does it make sense why even when you were winning all those titles I never saw you as ‘the greatest’ or the ‘top bitch’? And yet, despite ALL of those delusions of grandeur that you’ve had about yourself, your career and your LEGACY… There is ONE that stands out to me because it is VERY personal…
It was when you turned the camera on prior to the Queen of the Day match a couple of months back, yet another opportunity that you blew by the way, and you said… QUOTING YOUR BLOG by the way…
“The Myra Rivers', Amber Ryan's and Andrea Hernandez's of the world didn't join SCW because of Alicia Lukas. Oh no, they came because of me and the bar that I've set in this company….”
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!! I’m sorry….
At this point, I just burst out laughing and on cue, a canned laughing track played over the auditorium loudspeakers.
“BITCH… HAHAHAHAHA OH MY GOD!!!
BITCH…
REALLY?!?!?!
I mean, you’re not WRONG in the sense that I didn’t join SCW because of Alicia, but to say that I joined because of YOU and the “bar” that YOU set in this company?
BITCH!
Roxi and Sam were TWO REASONS… and two BETTER reasons… why I signed with this company. Me joining this company had NOTHING to do with YOU or whatever “bar” of pure MEDIOCRITY you set. What BAR did you set? How to win a championship and lose it all within 60 days? Why would YOU be a reason to join this company? So I could be just as mediocre as you are? You don’t get to speak for me Mercedes, especially when you say something DELUSIONAL and STUPID like that. With that arrogance and delusional stupidity, you just CONTINUE to weigh yourself down and honey, that’s just explaining the reasons why YOU are going to lose and NOT why I am going to win. I ALREADY KNOW that I’m superior to you. I already know that I’ve got the killer instinct and a motivation that you could never even DREAM ABOUT. I’ve proven it by overcoming ALL of the adversity that I have over the last year and it’s funny because the HATERS were running me down last summer acting like I was another one of you but instead of staying complacent like you did, and basing my entire reputation on a world championship run I WAS NOT happy with like you would’ve with your ‘I still did it’ attitude, I did what you have NEVER been able to do: GROW, EVOLVE, ADAPT! YOU stick around because YOU still need the validation and the retribution but in the end? When I beat you?
The one getting RETRIBUTION is ME!
WHEN I beat you and become the SCW Bombshells Internet Champion, I am getting MY RETRIBUTION for all the SHIT that I’ve had to deal with since I lost the world title… for all the hate, for all the lies, for all the slander, for all the bullshit DEGRADATION of what I’ve accomplished from HATERS like Keira who posts lies about me on Twitter ALL the time and from HATERS like Bobbie who had the FUCKING IDIOCY to say tha tmy win streak means NOTHING, for all the FLAK I’ve had to take from people like YOU Mercedes, that tried SO HARD to pour dirt on the grave of my world title reign and then just made up A BUNCH OF LIES and resorted to NAME CALLING against me because I didn’t stay down the way they wanted me to…
THAT is the retribution I am getting, Mercedes! I want this FAR more than you do and there’s no fucking way you can even MATCH my motivation let alone exceed it! You just want to pad your “legacy” with that title.
Get the FUCK out of here with that.
Me? This is to FINALLY silence the critics and the fucking haters I’ve had to deal with ONCE and for all!
My name is Andrea Hernandez, and the NEXT SCW Bombshells Internet Champion ACCEPTS this nomination AND approves this message!”
I stormed off the podium full of angry motivation. Some canned cheers played over the speakers and I left the amphitheater incredibly thrilled with the words I just spoke, feeling more confident in my chances to become the next SCW Bombshells Internet Champion.
