RP Title: “Son of a bitch!”
It hasn’t been a good two months for Steve.
Following Blaze of Glory, the status of the Roulette Title, which was in his possession at the time, was up in the air as the Triple Threat Match between Steve, James Tuscini and Joshua Acquin ended in a draw as Steve got the pin on Josh just as James made him tap out, eventually it was announced on the first Climax Control of the Japanese Tour that a match between James and Steve had been booked for the following week’s Climax Control in an attempt to put the rivalry to an end and move Steve onto his next challenger Matt Spears, however things didn’t work out that way.
The match, determined to be an Electrified Cage Match thanks to the Roulette Wheel, ended in controversy after both men were rendered unconscious and James happened to land on top of Steve resulting in the loss of the Roulette Title and Steve was pissed, he wasted no time in calling the referee for the match, Jacob Summers, an incompetent moron for not ending the match in a draw due to double knockout and demanded that James be stripped off the Roulette Title, that didn’t happen but that didn’t stop Steve from trying.
At the following Climax Control Steve was all over the card, first he introduced the Fearless Championship, a title literally custom made in his image and insisted that he would not defend the title against anyone, then he attempted to steal the Roulette Title from James in what would be one of three attempts at title theft by Steve and finally demanded a rematch from Mark Ward who promised that the two men would be in the same ring again at Into the Void but in the meantime Steve wasn’t done being put in matches.
The following week Steve and James where forced to team up against the Monstmimals in tag team action which ended as you might expect up to and including Steve attempting to steal the Roulette Title again leaving James high and dry in the process, then Steve and James had a non-title rematch at the last Climax Control before Into the Void with Matt Spears and Ryan Keys in their corners, Steve would lose this match controversially as well as Matt would accidentally cost Steve the match, and then the match was made.
At Into the Void the show’s opener would be a Fatal Four Way Roulette Rules Match between Steve, James, Ryan and Matt for the Roulette Title, Steve was livid as he was anticipating a one on one match was James but Mark used his exact wording to book this match but Steve won the Roulette Title in the first place in a Fatal Four Way Match at My Bloody Valentine II but can Steve repeat history and take back the title that, if you ask him, he never should’ve lost to begin with?
Local Shushi Restaurant, Tokyo, Japan
May 27th, 2016, 18:00pm
Yeah, I know describing my location as a local Shushi restaurant in the Capital City of Japan is like saying I’m at a local BBQ Party in Texas but guess what? That’s exactly where I am! It’s just that, for some reason, the restaurant didn’t want to be named on camera so here I am.
Actually I know there’s another thing your confused about, way back at the beginning of the tour I said on Twitter that there wasn’t enough money in the world to get me to try Shushi, unfortunately our decision to eat out this evening was made at the last minute and every other place we tried, with Cyrus’s help, was fully booked, it was a good half-hour before Cyrus managed to get us a reservation though by that point I was looking to see if Domino’s Pizza had any franchises in Japan.
Yeah, I know, eating pizza in Japan sounds weird but by that point it was looking like we weren’t going to be getting a reservation anywhere and we had already gotten sick of the hotel restaurant by that point, unfortunately I didn’t find out until the last minute that the place Cyrus had found was a Shushi restaurant and I almost walked back to the hotel after Cyrus translated the name for us until he threatened to tell everyone on Twitter why Charlotte had sent me a ruler in the mail.
Not that it matters since you’ll be finding out once we return to the states but that’s beside the point.
“I have no idea what I want to order.” I commented out loud as I looked at the menu after Cyrus translated the menu items for me. “I mean, it’s basically raw fish, how many varieties of it are there exactly?”
“I thought you were a fan of Hell’s Kitchen?” Cyrus asked as he looked at the menu with a thoughtful look on his face. “Didn’t they do a Shushi Challenge during the second episode of season eight?”
“I didn’t start watching until Season Eleven and Season Eight is the only season that I’ve yet to watch in full.” I responded as I shook my head in response. “Sabrina’s accent and Raj’s general weirdness got on my nerves five minutes into the premier and I made it up to Antonia’s withdrawal before I couldn’t take it anymore.”
“Okay, I admit, Sabrina was definitely annoying for most of the season and Raj was eliminated four episodes late but you should get around to watching it, it’s a pretty solid season in my opinion.” Cyrus responded and all I could really do was shrug my shoulders in response. “So, changing the subject, what’s this I hear about you appearing on the Jeremy Kyle show next month?”
“Ugh, you had to remind me of that.” I responded as I pinched the bridge of my nose in annoyance. “I’m not going into detail yet because I prefer to keep that stuff private for now but all I know is that Charlotte’s dragging me onto some British moron’s TV show for a lie detector because they are always so reliable.” I added with a hint of sarcasm in my voice. “I spent most of the week watching clips from the UK version but the most I can ascertain is that it’s the British version of Jerry Springer without the brawls.”
“In other words, without the fun.” Andreas responded and I shook my head in response. “What’s the big deal anyway? You’ve been faithful to her for years and have had two children with her.”
“Not completely faithful, hell I wouldn’t be surprised if Charlotte cheated on me during tours like this one and the world tour last year.” I responded before sighing. “Again, I’m not going into detail but it ties into Charlotte sending me a ruler in the mail a few weeks ago.”
“I’m not even going to ask I think I can tell where that story is going.” Andreas responded before I got an idea.
“Hey Cyrus, you’ve eaten Shushi before, right?” I asked and Cyrus nodded in response. “Okay, since I know nothing about Shushi how about you suggest something from the menu and I’ll just go with that.” I suggested and Cyrus rubbed his chin in thought.
“Well I guess it’s better than spending the whole night here.” Cyrus responded and I put the menu down once I heard that. “What about you, Andreas?”
“I think I’ll do the same.” Andreas responded as he put the menu down. “Not a lot of Shushi restaurants in Sweden or Arizona after all.”
“Fair enough, I’ll try not to suggest something too crazy for you guys.” Cyrus responded before looking at the menu again, he made his choice fairly quickly before going through a few other menu items before we stopped him on the items that sounded the best to us, not exactly saying much because again, I’ve never eaten Shushi, but that’s beside the point. “So, are you ready to take back your title?” Cyrus asked as he put the menu down.
“Does a dog shit in the woods?” I asked before taking a sip of my drink. “Besides, we all know that James never should’ve won that match in the first place but that’s what SCW gets for hiring morons to be their refs, I’m just praying to every deity I can think off that Jacob won’t be the ref for the Fatal Four Way Match.”
“Eh, maybe the higher ups will throw you a bone and get either Jasmine or Drew to ref the match.” Cyrus suggested with a shrug before the waiter came over to take our order, Cyrus ordered the food for us off course since we can’t speak Japanese but he did make it clear which item was meant for which patron. “So, how do you want to do your promo?” Cyrus asked once the waiter walked off. “Wait until after dinner and then do it or go outside and do your trash talk?”
“I’ll go outside, if anyone asks I’m on a cigarette break.” I responded as I stood up, in truth I’ve never even considered touching cigarettes but I have a pretty raspy voice that could sound like it came from a chain smoker to anyone who didn’t know any better and besides, it was easier than explaining why I was leaving the building to do a promo, anyway I left the restaurant and sat down on an outside table that was unoccupied and there was no one else around so I got started.
“This tour was meant to be the continuation of my glorious Roulette Title reign and what happened instead? My second defense was sabotaged by an incompetent referee who should’ve called it a draw instead of counting that pin-fall and now I’m back to square one namely chasing after a title that’s rightfully mine! Not only that but that son of a bitch known as Mark Ward took my invoking of my rematch clause and used it to throw in two underserving punks into the match to make it a Fatal Four Way!”
Yeah, I’m pretty pissed about this, can’t you tell?
“Sure, Matt won the Number One Contender ship back at Blaze of Glory and he and Ryan have been going back and forth ever since but they should be waiting in the wings for their turn and not raining on my parade! Now instead of teaching that thief known as Tuscini a lesson that I should’ve taught him at Blaze of Glory I have to contend with three other competitors in a match that should’ve been a one on one match from the start!”
Do I really need to tell you who’s first on my hit list?
“Try not to act shocked by I’m started with the thief known as Tuscini and ever since the second Climax Control of the Japanese Tour I’ve refused to refer to James as a champion for one reason, he’s not the Roulette Champion, I am! His name may be on the belt but it’s not rightfully his! I was robbed by an incompetent referee whose decision should’ve been overturned by the higher ups before Justin could even finish announcing the winner but instead they decided to award James for a god-damn fluke and now here we are!”
I said as I shook my head.
“My actions since then have been an attempt on my part to see justice done, well aside from creating the Fearless Championship because that’s something that’s been in the works ever since my feud with Acquin started in the lead up to Blaze of Glory, it’s completion time just so happened to coincide with the theft of the Roulette Title, back on subject though, James are you familiar with the legend of Robin Hood? Rob from the rich and give to the poor and all that bullshit? Well in this case it was rob from the thief and return to its rightful owner, or it would be if I had actually taken back the title!”
I said before shaking my head.
“Say what you will about my actions leading up to Blaze of Glory but at least I won the title fair and square! You on the other hand had the best luck in wrestling history because we were both out cold and you happened to land on top of me! What I’m getting at James is that you have no right to call yourself a champion, I am the true Roulette Champion and I don’t care what those morons in charge say because I can guarantee that half of the SCW Universe will agree with me and in two weeks I’ll put an end to this travesty of a title reign and send you and the two punks to the back of the line where you belong!”
Next up is Matt!
“And don’t think I’ve forgotten about you Matt, after all, because of you I lost the match after you accidentally threw in the towel that was meant for Ryan’s face and don’t even get me started on the confrontation we had backstage where that old geezer foiled my most successful attempt at taking back the title before their match! And guess who was the ref for the match again? That’s right, the incompetent ref who couldn’t see that I clearly had Tuscini beat and only rung the bell due to your idiocy! In other words, if Jacob’s the ref in this match he’ll be eating at least one Fearless Shot from me!”
Yes, I know he’s a ref, no I don’t give a shit!
“Back on topic, Matt you may have won the opportunity to challenge for the Roulette Title at Blaze of Glory but I have the rematch clause which should’ve overridden your opportunity and put me in the front of the line and I’m not even getting into how I should still be the champion because I don’t want to sound like a broken record! Well, non-more so than in the weeks leading up to the Supercard but I was only telling the truth!”
Seriously, can Jacob be fired already?!
“Matt, you may have won the chance at the title last month as I said but that’s as close as you are getting to a chance at this title as long as we’re in the same ring! Maybe you’ll win the Roulette Title someday but that day won’t be on June the sixth at Into the Void because that will be the day when I set everything right with the world by taking back what’s mine! Like I said, you’ll make a fine champion someday kid but not at my expense!”
Last but not least is Ryan!
“And now onto the guy who Tommy Knox seems to have the wrestling world’s biggest man crush on, Ryan Keys! Now don’t ask why he has such a hard on for an admittedly good looking guy in Ryan Keys, for one thing I was under the impression that that was Christian’s department, but one thing’s for certain, the kids the good wrestler and has the potential to be one of the all-time greats in the wrestling business but is he good enough to beat me? No!”
Where you expecting a different response?
“It’ll be a cold day in hell before Ryan gets anywhere near my level in his current state and pigs will be flying before he beats me at Into the Void, I can’t get any simpler than that unless I start talking like a caveman and I save my Captain Caveman impersonations for when I’m taking on Casey Williams and well, I’d say that that’ll be when I move up to the Internet Championship but that titles’ been changing hands so often in recent weeks that I can’t keep up!”
And yes, there’s a point to this!
Much like how Ryan won’t be able to keep up with me in the ring! Out of the four men in this match I’m the only veteran in general and logically that should mean that I could win this blindfolded whilst walking my Labrador Puppy but Ryan is a wildcard as recent weeks have shown! However, as I said it’ll be a cold day in hell before Ryan can beat me and last I checked Hell is going through a heat-wave at the moment so your out of luck there!”
And with that I decided to wrap things up.
“I said it once and I’ll say it again, I never should’ve lost the title! James and Ryan should be competing against Josh as part of his rampage or something and Matt Spears should be challenging me for the title! But no, SCW had to hire a complete moron to take off some of the workload on Drew and Jasmine and he screwed me over in my second defense, it doesn’t matter anyway because at the end of the day I will be a two-time Roulette Champion and you three will get in line! This message has been paid for and delivered by “The Fearless Champion” Steve Ramone, the champ the fans deserve because I will make SCW great again!”
I returned to the restaurant as the scene fades.
