The video opens with a blank, black screen. A male voice, with an English accent, can then be heard singing:
#Don't take me home,
#Please don't take me home,
#I just don't want to go to work;
#I want to stay here, and drink all your beer,
#Please don't,
#Please don't take me home.
After pausing to take a breath, he begins to sing again:
#Don't take me home,
#Please don't take me home,
#I just...
The song is interrupted by the instantly recognisable voice of Natalie McKinley.
Natalie: 'I'm going to punch you.'
As the man responds to Natalie, his voice can now be recognised as being that of Simon Jones. Simon is fully aware that Natalie's statement was meant to be taken in jest, but he apologises to her nevertheless.
Simon: 'Sorry.'
The scene fades in to show Cooper's Field in Bute Park, in Cardiff, on the afternoon of Thursday 16th June. Natalie and Simon can be seen stood in the foreground, dressed in the same clothes that they had been wearing a few hours earlier, when they recorded the video that would be aired three days later during the one hundred and fiftieth episode of Climax Control: Natalie is wearing a pair of pale blue jeans and a replica Wales football jersey, while Simon is wearing a pair of jeans of a darker shade of blue, plus a replica Birmingham City F.C. jersey.
In the background, there is a giant HD screen. The space between that screen and the spot where Natalie and Simon are stood is occupied by a sea of people wearing red. Having just watched Wales take the lead against England, only for them to then lose by two goals to one, everyone has been left feeling a bit disappointed - well, everyone except a certain Englishman.
Simon: 'Shall we go?'
After posing the question, Simon looks to Natalie, awaiting a response.
Natalie: 'Yeah, okay.'
The two of them then turn and make their way towards the footpath that runs around the perimeter of Cooper's Field.
Simon: 'You know, despite that result, Wales may well still finish top of the group: I expect that they will beat Russia on Monday, and I wouldn't be at all surprised if England only manage to draw with Slovakia.'
Natalie: 'I know, and it would be nice to top the group, but I don't really mind whether Wales come first or second - simply qualifying for the next round would be an achievement in itself.'
Upon reaching the footpath, Natalie and Simon begin to head in the direction of Bute Park's north gate.
Natalie: 'I'm not too down about the result - it is gutting to see your team lose to their biggest rivals, especially when the winning goal is scored so late on, but a lifetime of supporting Cardiff City has taught me how to cope with disappointment. I suppose now I know how the Swansea fans must have felt when we beat them so late on a few years ago.'
Simon: 'I remember watching that match on TV. If I recall correctly, the winning goal in that one came in around about the ninety-second minute, too. It was Michael Chopra that scored, wasn't it?'
Natalie smiles, remembering the moment fondly, and it is now her turn to sing, to the tune of "Monster," by Cardiff-based band The Automatic.
Natalie: 'What's that coming over the hill? It's Michael Chopra! It's Michael Chopra!'
After she finishes her song, Natalie's smile broadens slightly; Simon smiles too. There is then a momentary lull in the conversation, until Natalie speaks.
Natalie: 'Do you want to carry on talking about the football, or do you want to talk about something else?'
Simon: 'Like what - the other sport that we share a passion for?'
Natalie shrugs.
Natalie: 'Sure, if you want to.'
Simon: 'Okay, so, are you going to go to Las Vegas for this Sunday's Climax Control?'
Natalie shrugs her shoulders again.
Natalie: 'I don't know. I'm sure you'll tell me that I ought to be there - to show my commitment to SCW, or something along those lines - but I had thought about stopping in Cardiff until the middle of next week.'
Simon: 'You're right: I do think that you should attend Climax Control - if simply to support the new Bombshell Internet Champion.'
Natalie: 'Melody doesn't need me to look after her.'
There is a small sigh from Natalie.
Natalie: 'Although, I did tell her that I would have her back, so maybe I should be there, in case Jessie Salco, or Amy Marshall - or anyone else, for that matter - decides to take a swing at Melody.'
Simon nods his head in agreement.
Simon: 'Melody being the Bombshell Internet Champion obviously rules you two out as far as contenders for the tag team titles are concerned, so what are you going to target instead?'
Natalie: 'I don't know. I seem to recall you were the one that challenged me to set my sights on winning the tag titles - as part of your argument in favour of me agreeing to be Melody's tag team partner - so what do you suggest I do now, oh wise one?'
Simon gives Natalie a mock glare, before he replies.
Simon: 'Well, you don't have any desire to challenge Melody for her title, do you?'
Natalie shakes her head vehemently.
Natalie: 'None whatsoever.'
Simon: 'As I thought.’
Simon has a look at his watch, checking the time.
Simon: 'As for the World Bombshell Championship, I know you aspire to hold that title one day, but I can't see you being given a shot at it any time soon.'
Natalie sighs again, knowing that what Simon has just said is true.
Natalie: 'Yeah, I know what you mean. Crystal is getting a one-on-one match for the title on Sunday; then you have Mercedes Vargas, who is entitled to a rematch for the title, and Mikah, who is yet to have her return match for the title. Plus, if Crystal beats Sam Marlowe on Sunday, Sam will also be due a rematch for the title, so there are at least three or four ahead of me in the reckoning for the World Bombshell Championship - and that's before you include Keira Johnson, and anyone like her, who thinks that they should be given a shot at the title.'
Simon: 'I'm not so sure that Keira is ahead of you in the pecking order - not after your impressive recent win against Roxi and Alexis Edwards. And besides, I know Mark Ward well enough to know that he hates it when people demand title shots they haven't earned - Keira could well come to regret making such a request.'
Natalie: 'Yup, probably.'
There is a brief silence, before Simon speaks again.
Simon: 'I suppose then, there's only one championship in SCW that you can realistically have designs on.'
The championship that Simon is referring to is of course the Bombshell Roulette Championship.
Natalie: 'I know, but I don't really want to have to compete in roulette rules matches - not if I can help it.'
Simon: 'Why not?'
Natalie: 'Simon, you watch Climax Control each week, so you see the amount of blood that regularly gets spilled in roulette rules matches - I don't want my body to end up being covered in scar tissue.'
Natalie then smiles despite herself.
Natalie: 'Whoever is responsible for deciding what match types go on the roulette wheel - whether it is Mark Ward, Christian Underwood, Erik Staggs, or someone else - they must be a sadist.'
Natalie stops and grabs Simon's arm, causing him to turn round to face her.
Natalie: 'You remember what type of match I had to compete in when I the won the roulette title, don't you?'
Simon nods.
Simon: 'Yes: it was an inferno match.'
Natalie: 'Right. As pleased I was to win the title, my overriding emotion at the end of that match was relief - relief that I...'
Natalie pauses; she quickly glances around, before looking back to Simon.
Natalie: 'That I didn't get fucking burned. I have no wish to compete in a match like that ever again.'
The look in Natalie's eyes tells Simon all that he needs to know. The two of them then resume their walk along the footpath.
Simon: 'So what are you going to do then? I know that you yearn to have a title around your waist once more - and don't try to pretend otherwise - but if you’re not going to pursue the roulette title, which would be the most feasible option for you, then what are you go to do?'
Natalie: 'I don't know.'
Simon: 'You have said that a few times now.'
Simon smirks.
Natalie: 'Because it's true - I really don't know what I'm going to do. At present, all I can think to do is to keep winning matches, and see where that gets me.'
Natalie smiles meekly.
Natalie: 'I know you're right that if I want to be a champion again, then in the immediate future, the roulette title would be my best bet, but I really don't want to expose myself to the dangers of the roulette division - and by "dangers," I don't mean Kate Steele; I don't want to put myself in harm's way. For the time being, I'll forget about titles, and just concentrate on trying to win my matches - I assume I'll be back in the six-sided ring in ten days from now, so my immediate focus will be on winning that match, against whomever my next opponent is.'
Simon: 'Or opponents, possibly.'
Natalie: 'True.'
Simon: 'Before that though, there's the one hundred and fiftieth episode of Climax Control to come first.'
Natalie: 'Indeed.'
Natalie smiles more positively, as she thinks about the then-forthcoming episode of Climax Control.
Natalie: 'I hope Crystal wins on Sunday - not because I have anything against Sam Marlowe, but because I know how much winning the world bombshell title would mean to Crystal.'
Simon: 'I still find it hard to believe that you and Crystal Millar are now friends.'
Simon shakes his head in disbelief.
Simon: 'This time last year, the two of you genuinely loathed one another.'
Natalie: 'My relationship with Crystal has come a long way since then.'
Simon: 'It really has. When most of the bombshells turned on Crystal after she insulted Despayre, you were one of the few that didn't.'
Natalie: 'That's because I don't want things between Crystal and I to go back to the way they were.'
Natalie and Simon turn right, onto a short path that takes them way from Bute Park, and towards North Road - one of the main roads into/out of the city centre.
Natalie: 'I will admit, though, that if push came to shove, and I had been forced to choose between favouring Crystal or favouring Despayre, I would've come down on the side of Despayre - he was, after all, responsible for getting my suspension from SCW lifted. Just don't tell Crystal that.'
Simon: 'Don't worry - I won't.'
Simon winks at Natalie, who smiles back at him.
Natalie: 'I saw Crystal at Into The Void - following her match, I mean. She was so despondent, so crestfallen - I hadn't seen her like that before; I hope that this time, come the end of Sunday night's show, she will be at the opposite end of the emotional spectrum.'
Simon: 'Well, whoever wins, whether it's Crystal or whether it's Sam, I just want to see a good match.'
Natalie: 'I think it's bound to be a good one.'
Natalie and Simon come to a halt, as they reach the end of the path; they turn to face one another.
Simon: 'Do you want to come back to mine? You can see Jacqui and Matty, and we can watch Northern Ireland play Ukraine.'
Natalie: 'Thanks for the invite, but I think I'll go back to my parents' house, and watch the game there.'
Simon: 'Okay then. I guess I'll see you tomorrow, in the gym.'
Natalie: 'You can count on it.'
Natalie and Simon then share a friendly hug.
Natalie: 'See you tomorrow, Simon.'
Simon: 'Bye for now.'
Natalie and Simon turn to head off towards their respective homes, and as they go their separate ways, the scene changes to show Natalie now in Las Vegas, on the afternoon of Friday 24th June. Natalie - who is wearing a pair of denim shorts, a grey t-shirt, and a blue Las Vegas 51s cap - is stood outdoors, in the blazing sun.
A few yards behind where Natalie is stood, there is a wooden sign. At the top of the sign, in large white letters, are the words "CITY OF LAS VEGAS;" below that, is the name "ANGEL PARK."
Natalie takes a quick glance up at the sky. She then looks to the camera, and begins to speak.
Natalie: 'A couple of weeks have passed since the tour of Japan came to end, and while part of me wishes that it would've gone on for longer, I know that SCW had to return to its home turf eventually. This Sunday, I will be back inside the six-sided ring, three weeks on from Into The Void V, for something that has been a long time coming: this weekend, I will finally get to compete in a match in SCW's home state.'
Natalie smiles.
Natalie: 'At the start of August, it will be two years since I first set foot in the six-sided ring. In the weeks and months that have followed, I have wrestled on SCW shows in California and Arizona, as well as various places overseas, but never before have I wrestled a match in Nevada. Now yes, I did participate in the game of musical chairs that took place on the show in Reno at the beginning of this year, but that doesn't count - I joined SCW to wrestle, not to play party games, and my match this Sunday will finally bust my wrestling-in-Nevada cherry; after an unexpectedly long wait for a match in the home state of SCW, I've been training hard all week - as I always do - to give myself the best chance possible to have my first match in the Silver State be a successful one.'
Natalie turns to look behind her, over her shoulder, at Angel Park.
Natalie: 'And given who my opponent is this Sunday, I thought that this would be an appropriately named backdrop for me to use while I discuss my forthcoming match.'
She then turns back to face the camera.
Natalie: 'In the almost two years that have passed since my first ever match, I don't think I've been involved in a match that I didn't look forward to. My match this Sunday is no different: it's another one that I'm eagerly awaiting - and not just because it will be first time wrestling in Nevada, but also because of who my opponent is. You see, since I made my return to the six-sided ring, on the first day of last month, my opponents have all been people that I have had prior encounters with: Jessie Salco and Amy Marshall had both been opponents of mine before, Roxi Johnson and I had once been tag team partners, and while Alexis Edwards and I hadn't previously been in a match together, we had had at least one run-in backstage. However, I can't recall having had any sort of interaction with any of the members of The Angel Clan until now; Lucy Seraphina is a new challenge for me - a challenge that I will rise to, and one that I intend to overcome.'
Natalie sits down on the ground, crossing her legs.
Natalie: 'When The Angel Clan arrived in SCW last year, they certainly didn't waste any time making an impact: barely two months after debuting, Melanie Gabrielle won the Bombshell Roulette Championship, nearly three months to the day since I lost the same title; not to be outdone, the following month, Lucy won the Bombshell Internet Championship. Arguably though, The Angel Clan's greatest achievement came earlier this month, when Lucy and Uriella Abaddon ended Team Hero's record breaking reign as Bombshell Tag Team Champions. There's no denying that Lucy Seraphina and the rest of The Angel Clan have a track record of success, and so I know that Lucy will provide me with a stern test; I've had success of my own in SCW though, and I know this is a test that I can pass - I believe it's a test that I will pass.'
Natalie nods her head confidently.
Natalie: 'Lucy is the Wisdom Angel of the Clan. Now, if I was cockier, I might tell Lucy that I'm going to drop some wisdom on her, but the reality is that I'm twenty-three years old - well, for another six days I am - and Lucy probably knows far more about life than I do, while I still have plenty to learn. I'm aware, Lucy, that you like to observe people, and I know that you are well traveled, but I dare say that you have never come across anyone quite like me before me. I assume you have spent the past few days studying me, as I have been studying you, but no matter how much preparation the two of us do, there will still be things during the course of our match that can catch either of us by surprise, and whichever of us reacts better to those surprises could well be the one that goes on to win the match - and I'm sure I can be that one. As far as my skills as a wrestler are concerned, I'm best known for my power, and while that is undoubtedly the most prominent aspect of my abilities, there is more to me than that - I do possess the capability to adapt to different situations, and I'm confident that I will be able to cope sufficiently with whatever Lucy throws at me, so that I can come out on top in our match.'
Natalie adjusts her cap, before continuing.
Natalie: 'Some of my behaviour in the past year or so has been far from angelic, none more so than my actions at Summer XXXTreme III, which led to me subsequently being suspended from SCW for nearly five months; there have also been other instances of me displaying wicked behaviour, but that one is the most notable example. As stated ahead of my match at Into The Void though, I'm trying to rebuild the reputation that I damaged - and I would like to think that I'm going about it the right way. In a tweet a few weeks ago, Melody Grace described me as a "beautiful angel" - which I believe was her way of thanking me for helping her. And after helping Crystal Millar last Sunday, when she was assaulted by Kate Steele, I am starting to feel a bit like a guardian angel; first I saved Melody from being attacked by Jessie Salco and Amy Marshall, then I came to Crystal's aid - perhaps I'm not such a bad person after all. This Sunday, however, won't be about me being a guardian angel - it will be about me clipping the wings of the Wisdom Angel, and pinning her for a count of three.'
Natalie counts one, two, three with her fingers.
Natalie: 'Speaking of Crystal, I know that she is going to be in my corner on Sunday, while Lucy will of course have Uriella in her corner. I just want to say that I hope this match doesn't fall victim to any shenanigans: I want it to be a clean match that the fans can enjoy, with a decisive winner - ideally, me.'
Natalie looks towards the ground for a moment; she then looks back up at the camera, and continues.
Natalie: 'A few minutes ago, I mentioned the two titles that Lucy has won so far during her time in SCW, but something else that I have to mention is Lucy's recent triumph against Mikah. Now sure, some pundits would say Mikah's performance in that match was below par, but I think that does a bit of a disservice to Lucy. A win over Mikah is not to be sniffed at, whatever the circumstances, and Lucy's victory in that match just serves to emphasise what a tricky opponent she is going to be for me. I remain confident though, that following some recent good results, I can bring Lucy back down to earth on Sunday, by handing her a defeat.'
Natalie gets up from the ground, rising to her feet.
Natalie: 'My match with Lucy Seraphina will be the second sporting contest in a week to feature representatives from Wales and Russia. And just like Gareth Bale and company dismantled the Russian football team this past Monday, on their way to a comprehensive win, I plan to pick apart the Russian bombshell this Sunday, to achieve a victory of my own.'
Natalie takes a couple of steps towards the camera.
Natalie: 'This weekend could be a truly monumental one in the history of Welsh sport, and I'm ready to play my part in it, at Climax Control. Cymru am byth!'
Natalie stares at the camera, with a wide smile on her face, and after a few seconds, the scene then fades to black.
