“Supreme Championship Wrestling...”

 

A shot of Kelcey Wallace nailing Bree Lancaster with the Perfect Ending, followed by a shot of Steve Griffin hitting the Decimator off the top rope on CHBK at the first Rise to Greatness, before turning a shot of Jake Starr pumping up the crowd on his way to the ring, before turning into a shot of Ravyn Taylor sitting in the corner, waiting for the start of a match. We then see a shot of Katie Steward holding the Women’s Championship before cutting to a shot of Selena Frost hitting Vixen Cain with the Defying Gravity at Supreme Saturday: Just Desserts.

 

“The leading force in sports and entertainment today....”

 

The scene opens up as we start to hear an instrumental of “Auld Lang Syne” playing as we open up to see a shot of Kelcey Wallace posing on the stage at Rise to Greatness before cutting to a shot of Vixen Cain backing up, holding the SCW World Championship, laughing. We then see a shot of Amy Chastaine and AJ Helms looking across from one another. A few moment pass before we see Sienna Swann kneeing Ravyn Taylor on the stage. We then cut to see Syren and Regan Street fighting through the crowd at Under Attack. Alistaire Allocco is shown at ringside with Ace Marshall holding the SCW World Championship is shown as Selena Frost looks on from inside a steel cage. We then cut to show Tyler Tucker hitting the Caffeine Crash on an opponent. We then see Donovan Kayl holding Simon Lyman’s arm high in the air at Rise to Greatness after their match as the crowd cheer. The scene cuts to then show Selena Frost catching Kelcey Wallace with the Frost’s Bite before showing Blake Mason and Bree Lancaster celebrating at they leave the roofed cage. This is followed by a shot of Dante McCaffery nailing Alexis Quinne with a pipe inside the Tactical Warfare cage at Retribution. The scene cuts again to show Lexi von Aaron locking in an armbar on Stacy Kissinger and pulling back. This is followed by a shot of Selena Frost diving off the top rope and hitting the Defying Gravity on Vixen Cain. Amy Chastaine and Kennedy Street celebrating with the SCW World Tag Team Championship follows as the crowd cheers them. We then cut to a shot of Syren swinging a steel cage at Josh Hudson at Taking Hold of the Flame, causing Hudson to bail. We then cut to show Jake Starr leaning on the bottom ropes inside the Chamber, holding the SCW World Championship as the crowd cheers. The scene then cuts back as a computer generated ball hits a roof and we see firework shoot out as the camera spins up to show the SCW End of the Year Special logo.

 

A few moments pass before we open up inside the Centre Bell in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The crowd cheers as sparks go off from the ceiling as the camera pans across the crowd. The crowd cheers as we then cut to the entrance way, where we see a podium set up. A few moments pass before the crowd is silent as the sound of a woman climaxing is heard "OH OH SHHAAAWWWNN!" "I'm So Paid" by Akon follows. A few moments pass before Shawn Winters walks out from the back, wearing a suit. Jason Phillips introduces him.

 

Phillips: “Ladies and gentlemen, your host for the 2017 SCW End of the Year Awards…the One Man Scandal…Shawn Winters!”

 

Winters looks around and throws his arms up as the crowd cheers. He walks over to the podium and looks around. His music fades out.

 

Winters: “Well it’s another year….another5 year of history being made. Another Supreme Champion joining the ranks. A year where women dominated for most of the year. A year where we saw God himself return and manage to make Lexi von Aaron the most dangerous competitor in SCW….A year where the Women’s Championship came to an end….a Year where Kennedy Street stopping being a royal bitch!”

 

The crowd roars.

 

Winters: “A year where Ace Marshall actually made it to every show!”

 

More cheers.

 

Winters: “A year where the Lizard King has struck fear into everyone’s hearts….where we found out even you can do it if you have money, right Blake and Bree? And a year where anything can happen. And tonight, we may look back at some of that.”

 

The crowd applauds a bit.

 

Winters: “And tonight, we have plenty to get to in that ring. Adam Sharper and Jonathan Knots…yes he’s back…”

 

The crowd cheers as a “Knots!” chant breaks out. Winters pauses for a moment.

 

Winters: “And they’ll get through all that, but first, we have our first award of the evening. It was a year where we saw a lot of old faces return and show that they were ready this time, but some new faces to SCW. Our first award, the SCW Rookie of the Year!”

 

Winters then grabs an envelope from the side as we then notice Paris Truelove standing with London Truelove. Paris hands Winters the envelope. He then opens it and pulls out the card inside.

 

Winters: “And it looks like he may need to take up drinking to celebrate just like his old man…your Rookie of the Year….Alistaire Allocco!”

 

A timer begins to run on the screen, counting down from five to one. A momentarily pause in darkness as “Fire It Up” by Thousand Foot Krutch begins to play. London Truelove steps forward with an SCW award in her hand and we then see Alistaire Allocco walk out from the back. He looks genuinely touched by the awards as he walks over and takes the award. He thanks London and then Paris and then turns to Shawn Winters who just turns away, shaking his head. Alistaire looks around. His music fades out.

 

Alistaire: “This…It’s good to be recognized for what you do and I am honoured that I am the Rookie of the year. Winning the World Title….getting a taste for the top. I can only hope to top it as any legitimate competitor always looks to better themselves. Hopefully…in the contendership series, I can keep the momentum…Bree. I know you’ll be a tough fight, but I am better than you and well, I have to see it that way. It’s how the best look at it. Something that puts me above most of you here in this crowd…”

 

The crowd boos. Alistaire stops and looks around. He then puts his hand up to quiet down the crowd.

 

Alistaire: “And tonight, tonight, maybe, I’ll be able to win the Adrenaline Championship. But that’s later….for now, I’m going to enjoy this as I look back to a year where I broke into this business and Cassidy, Ace…I hope you’re proud. Thank you!”

 

Alistaire holds up the award and then brings it down and kisses it before nodding, a tear almost forming in his eye as he turns and steps back before returning to the back. Shawn Winters walks back over to the podium and shakes his head.

 

Shawn: “Just think, he came from Adam Allocco’s loins. His mother must be a nun.”

 

Shawn shakes his head.

 

Shawn: “Anyway, let’s go down to the ring. Adam Sharper, take it away!”

We cut to the announce table as the crowd roars as we see Jonathan Knots standing up and waving to the crowd as Adam Sharper turns to him.

 

Sharper: “Well, welcome to ringside…Jon…we’re on.”

 

Knots sits back down.

 

Knots: “My fans needed me!”

 

Sharper: “I’m sure they did. Adam Sharper here with Jonathan Knots. Welcome back partner and tonight, we have a unique night to say the least.”

 

Knots: “Damn right I’m back and we get to say goodbye. Goodbye to 2017, but also to Kelcey Wallace. Tonight, it’s a career.”

 

Sharper: “She’ll face Blake Mason in her final match before she hangs up her boots. It should be an emotional night. But along with that, two titles on the line. We’ll see the World Title on the line. Jake Starr defends against Ikiro Yoshida.”

 

Knots: “These fans picks Yoshida. The KABLAMA Sutra must be big. Yoshida has the biggest match of his career. In a few moments, he’s going to face off against a grizzled veteran. Jake Starr who is hoping to enter 2018 on top.”

 

Sharper: “And we’ll the yearly tradition, the Open Invitational will take place. But with a big difference. Yes, the money will be there. Yes, a new car…there you see it…a new 2018 Mercedes Benz AMG C Class. A hell of a car…”

 

We cut to show the Mercedes-Benz AMG C 63 S.

 

Sharper: “…but also the SCW Adrenaline  Championship on the line, thanks to Ace Marshall and his Trios Tournament.”

 

Knots: “With sexy costumes and hot damn, this could be interesting…even if Ace Marshall and Cassidy Carter are idiots.”

 

Sharper: “That, the end of the year awards to come and CHBK will face Josh Hudson. Plenty to come here tonight.”

 

The camera remains on them for a moment before we cut backstage.

We open up backstage to see Alistaire Allocco walking through the backstage area, holding his award. He smiles as he looks at it and takes a few more steps before we see Katelyn Buehler walking up to him.

 

Katelyn: “Hey, Alistaire. Just wanted to quickly say congrats. Hell of an honour.”

 

Alistaire: “Thanks Katelyn.”

 

Alistaire smiles a bit as Katelyn keeps walking as Alistaire keeps looking at the award before turning down one hallway and then going over to one locker room. He steps inside and walks forward.

 

Alistaire: “Hey guys! Look!”

 

Ace and Cassidy Carter are then shown in the room and Ace looks up.

 

Ace: “Oh good. Something with the same personality as you!”

 

Cassidy: “We’re busy, jackass. Important business.”

 

Alistaire: “Oh….sorry…”

 

Alistaire turns and heads off to a corner of the room.

 

Cassidy: “So, since we can’t have people out there with no clothes on.”

 

Ace: “Damn buzzkills. I was going to make that a necessity.”

 

Cassidy: “Apparently that is not allowed because we’re not a porn company, nor are we risking the harassment charges….”

 

Ace: “Listen to a Selena Frost or Regan Street promo and tell me that’s not pornography.”

 

Cassidy: “Sad…really sad. Then again, we do have Katelyn in this company and well, she showed everything regularly, so…”

 

Cassidy sighs. Alistaire looks up at this.

 

Cassidy: “Let’s just go over our rules and remember. My decision is final.”

 

Ace: “Yeah, yeah, yeah….”

 

We then cut away.

We open up backstage to see Sophie James walking backstage. The crowd cheers. She then turns around.

 

Sophie: “Come on Dave…we’re trying to make a good first impression.”

 

David Callahan then runs over, wearing his costume, presumably for the Open Invitational, that of a British Admiral from several centuries ago.

 

David: “Okay, okay…but they took away my ostrich!”

 

Sophie: “Well, apparently, they don’t want you using an ostrich for your own purposes.”

 

David: “Damn you PETA!”

 

Sophie: “We’re trying not to rock the boat.”

 

David: “Then why am I in this match? They’ll run in fear with how good I am.”

 

Sophie: “You know why.”

 

David: “Then why aren’t you in it?”

 

Sophie sighs.

 

Sophie: “They wanted to make sure I’m clean and I don’t blame them. My history is what it is. But come on.”

 

David: “But I need an ostrich, damn it!”

 

Sophie rolls her eyes and walks off as David Callahan follows her.

Ikiro Yoshida vs. Jake Starr

SCW World Championship

 

We then open up in the ring to see Jason Phillips standing inside.

 

Phillips: “Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for onefall, with a thirty minute time limit and is for the SCW World Championship!”

 

The SCW World Championship logo comes across the screen before fading to the bottom corner. Red and white lights begin to flash wildly when the opening to “Smooth Criminal (Violin Instrumental)” by David Garrett begins to play over the P.A System. The SCW fans rise to their feet casting their eyes to the stage where the curtains part. A sudden pause befalls the arena until a man walks out with a confident swagger in his step, Ikiro Yoshida… He wears his trademark red eye patch with a gold dragon emblazoned onto it along with his long sleeved jacket. A smirk appears on the Japanese superstar’s lips before he spins around once and drops down to one knee, both his arms outstretched while he looks down at the ground.

Phillips: “Ladies and Gentleman, coming out first, he is the challenger, hailing from the Fukushima prefecture, Japan, he is The King of Karaoke, Ikiro Yoshida!”

The fans pop for the Japanese superstar, he leaps back up onto his feet and reaches into his jacket to remove what looks to be a pink plush Yoshi doll. He raises it up above his head with a grin before lowering his arm and walking down towards the ring with that same confident swagger from before. Ikiro quickly runs to the ring and slides in, following that up with a quicker roll to a knee. Ikiro sits the plush doll in front of him as he appears to talk to it… After kissing the tip of his index and forefinger, he places them on the forehead of the doll before picking it up and taking it to the corner where he sits it. Once removing his jacket, he hands it to the ring crew and begins to stretch before the bell.

 

Sharper: “Big opportunity for this young man. He has an opportunity to shock the world to end 2017. It’s been a year of shocking new champions. With all due respect to Ikiro Yoshida, I’d say he’d be the most shocking.”

 

Knots: “His buddy Derek Adonis, Master of the KABLAMa Sutra, won the TV Title on the final Breakdown. Yoshida may be a bit out there, but he can go in the ring. Jake Starr we know is worried as hell.”

 

Sharper: “Starr thinking back to 2010 when he lost the World Title to David Helms. He knows that the End of the Year Title shot can be a trap match. We’ve seen some surprisingly upsets. Dillusion defeating Greg Cherry in 2006 is the most clear example.”

 

The arena goes dark, with just the sounds of the crowds and the flashes of the cameras. A heartbeat begins to sound throughout the arena...

THUMP THUMP... THUMP THUMP... THUMP THUMP

The beating slowly morphs into the beeping of a hospital monitor, while the screen of the heart monitor follows the beeps on the jumbotron...

BEEP... BEEP... BEEP...

The beeps begin to speed up, faster and faster, before ultimately flatlining.

BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP...

As the ominous sound of the flatlining heartbeat echo through the arena, it's quickly interrupted by another heartbeat, but an irregular one. This one, on the screen, shows a star right in the middle of it. That beat continues, and begins to speed up as well. As it reaches an inhuman speed, the opening chord of "Sandstorm" by Darude blasts through the loud speaker, along with a blast of pyrotechnics.

With the blast, Jake Starr emerges from behind the backstage curtain. The SCW World Championship is over his shoulder. The crowd erupts, and Jake is taken aback by the energy being pumped in his direction. He pauses, and looks from side to side, cocking a smile, and an eyebrow. He slowly nods before beginning his walk toward the ring. As he walks, he pounds on his chest, points at members of the crowd, toward the ground, and toward himself, and slaps the occasional outstretched hand of some of the fans, while mouthing phrases like, "this is why I do this shit!"

As he reaches the ring, he quickly ascends the steps, and enters the ring. After getting fully into the ring, he walks to the opposing corner and climbs to the middle turnbuckle. He looks around at the members of the crowd all standing, and acknowledges a couple signs in the audience with smirks and more cocks of the eyebrow. After his initial scan, he beats on his chest twice, and raises his "Misfit Revolution Fist" high into the air, keeping the title over his shoulder, a gesture mimicked by many fans in the crowd. He repeats this gesture on the remaining three turnbuckles, occasionally mouthing this words, "this will ALWAYS be MY HOUSE!"

After interacting with the fans, and completing his tour of the turnbuckles, he finally goes to the corner he initially started in, and leans back into the turnbuckle. The referee comes over and Starr hands him the title. The referee, Steve Hollinsworth, steps back, holding the title over his head. Ikiro looks at Starr as the crowd roars. Hollinsworth hands the title off to Jason Phillips and the bell sounds.

 

Sharper: “And here we go. Jake Starr making his first SCW World Championship defense since winning it at his Chamber Challenge back in November.”

 

Knots: “Tag Team Titles on the backburner, same for Resurgence. Just has to focus on making sure the King of Karaoke doesn’t walk out wanting to celebrate too hard here in Montreal. You know, I know a place that he’d like.”

 

Sharper: “Really?”

 

Knots: “Just a couple of blocks here. Great place. Remember meeting a cute girl in a poncho there a few years back. Like a flower child. Shared a few drinks.”

 

Sharper: “Alright there, Jon.”

 

Starr and Ikiro circle the ring. Ikiro walks by stepping one foot in front of the other, his hand behind his back. He watches Starr who, in return, keeps watching Ikiro. The two lunge and lock up in the middle of the ring. Starr turns and moves into an arm wrench. Ikiro lets out a yell.

 

Sharper: “And right to the arm. Starr was watching on Breakdown. Bill Barnhart doing damage and Ikiro trying to hide it. Starr immediately tested it.”

 

Knots: “Yeah and Ikiro yelling in pain. So that’s a big issue for him.”

 

Ikiro winces and Starr turns and wrenches the arm again. He jerks on it. Ikiro falls to a knee. Starr then pulls up on it, pushing Ikiro back to the ropes. He then turns and whips him across. Ikiro bounces off and Starr goes for a hip toss. He hits it. He goes to grab Ikiro. Ikiro pushes off with his boots. Starr rolls back. Ikiro nips up and Starr turns and goes for a clothesline. Ikiro ducks and spins under. He goes for a backslide. He winces and twists around and kicks Starr in the ribs. He turns and whips him into the corner. Ikiro runs after and Starr gets an elbow up. Ikiro staggers out and Starr steps out and wrenches the arm again. Ikiro drops to a knee and Starr turns into a side headlock.

 

Sharper: “And Starr back to the headlock. Using the arm to regain leverage and then take control.”

 

Knots: “Ikiro’s night may be a long one if Starr keeps doing that. May be annoying as hell, but he’s damn experienced.”

 

Starr keeps hold of Ikiro. Ikiro reaches around before pulling him back into the ropes and then pushing him off. Starr bounces off and Ikiro steps forward and Starr shoulders him down. He steps to run into the ropes. Ikiro rolls towards Starr, but Starr stops, jumps over and hits a jumping elbow drop to the back of Ikiro. He rolls him over and hooks the leg.

Sharper: “Starr keeping this slow. He knows that if Ikiro can get this crowd behind him, he could give Ikiro the momentum to get back into this.”

 

Knots: “He’s not rolling die. He’s not playing rock, paper, scissors. He’s not hawking books. He’s right now needing to survive through this.”

 

Starr instead pushes him into the ropes and whips him across. Ikiro bounces off the ropes. Starr scoops him up on the rebound, but Ikiro spins through, landing behind him. He pushes Starr into the ropes and goes for an Okana roll. Starr holds on. Ikiro rolls back and he gets up and Starr runs at him and Ikiro drops back, ducking a clothesline.

Starr starts to get up. Ikiro gets up and lets out a yell before running over and jumping up and hitting a running chop to the chest. He hits an overhead chop to Starr.

He looks at them before smiling and nodding before running back at Starr and jumping up and hitting the broncobuster. The crowd roars.

 

Sharper: “Ikiro with the broncobuster.”

 

Knots: “Ironically, page 35 in the KABLAMA Sutra, but I doubt Jake wants to know that!”

 

Sharper: “The impact hurts, but it also a bit humiliating. Ikiro just wants any edge at this point though.”

 

Ikiro pulls himself out as Starr rolls over. He stirs and Ikiro grabs him from behind and hits a back suplex. He turns and hooks the leg.

Sharper: “There was no redo of 2010. Jake Starr is still the World Champion and will be when the clock strikes midnight. Sienna Swann however coming down and taking some of the shine off that.”

 

Knots: “Yeah. Coming down for some reason. She’s happy now, so many she just had an issue with Ikiro. I don’t know! I don’t care! She just joined us!”

 

Sharper: “Did Sienna stop the pin? Did Starr kick out? It doesn’t matter.”

 

Knots: “The referee confirmed the two count.”

 

Sharper: “That’s true, but what was a hard fought match, now with a bit of controversy and maybe that’s what Sienna wanted. The spotlight.”

 

Starr holds the World Title over his head and looks around. He celebrates for a few moments before bringing the title down and looking at it. He goes to the corner, climbing up to the middle turnbuckle and holding the title up. Ikiro starts to stir as we then cut away.

The SCW End of the Year Special Awards logo comes up on the screen. A female voice can be heard.

 

“The 2017 SCW End of the Year Awards….Shocking Moment of the Year…”

 

We open up inside the Chamber match at Under Attack 2017. Selena drops back behind Ace Marshall. Ace then turns and runs into the ropes. He bounces off and Selena goes for the Glass Shard, but Ace catches it. He then pulls her in and goes for the Aces’ Wild, but Selena jumps up and turns into a sunset flip, hooking Ace’s legs.

Phillips: “Ladies and gentlemen, here is your winner…and NEW SCW World Champion…Alistaire Allocco!”

 

The crowd looks on stunned as Ace does too. Simon Lyman, the official, then asks for the World Championship as it  is passed through the main entrance to the Chamber. Simon turns and walks over to Alistaire Allocco who looks surprised, but a bit disappointed himself. He then takes the title as Simon has his arm raised.

 

Sharper: “Unbelievable….in his third match in SCW, he has become World Champion!”

 

Knots: “He doesn’t look happy!”

 

Sharper: “Ace doesn’t look happy! Alistaire Allocco is World Champion! What a way to cap off a hell of a night in Providence!”

 

The crowd continues to look on stunned as Alistaire Allocco keeps looking at the belt before the turning to Ace who just looks stunned. Cassidy Carter starts to walk out from the back too as Selena is then checked on by Simon as she stirs. Alistaire and Ace continue to just look at each other as the camera cuts to the World Championship as the scene slowly fades to black…

 

“The SCW Shocking Moment of 2017….Alistaire Allocco wins the SCW World Championship, Under Attack 2017.”

 

The End of the Year Special logo comes up on the screen.

We return to the stage to see Shawn Winters at the podium.

 

Winters: “We almost saw it replaced with something more stunning with Ikiro Yoshida nearly beating Jake Starr, but this was a year of shocking moments, some shocking title changes and Alistaire Allocco, along with his stunning ability to be completely nothing like his father and piss everyone off…he’s a former World Champion.”

 

The crowd boos a bit as Shawn Winters pauses.

 

Winters: “But next, we crown the Star of Tomorrow. Who is believed to be the next big thing in this business? Who is believed to be on the verge of their breakout year and will make 2018 their bitch?!”

 

The crowd roars.

 

Winters: “Well let’s find out!”

 

London Truelove hands Winters the envelope. He then stops and turns and leans on the podium.

 

Winters: “Wait…since you’re here…any of you know why Sienna Swann decided to show up here in that title match?”

 

London turns to Paris. Paris shakes her head no. London just shrugs.

 

Winters: “Just checking…”

 

Winters then turns to the envelope and opens it up, looking at the card inside.

 

Winters: “Your 2017 Star of Tomorrow…Hide your wives, hide your kids, hide the Lizard King…it’s Giovanni Aries!”

 

The crowd roars as "Mad Hatter" by Melanie Martinez plays. A few moments pass before we see Giovanni Aries walk out from the back. He looks around, wearing his fur coat. He has the SCW Adrenaline Championship over her shoulder. He walks over to the podium and London hands him the trophy. Aries looks at it and then sniffs it before looking around.

 

Aries: “Is this some sort of way to spy on me for the Lizard King?!”

 

Aries looks at the eyes of the statue.

 

Aries: “No camera….well…”

 

Aries then looks right at it, talking into the microphone too.

 

Aries: “You will watch tonight as the TRAITOR, the traitor who gave into your mindnumbing ways, Ace….as Ace has his head ripped off and left for you to feed on. Along with him and all of those you have found to do your bidding…Because tonight, the LIZARD KING…YOU will not take the Adrenaline Championship from me and the WONDERLAND will live on FOREVER!”

 

Aries then throws the statue down off the stage before backing away. He then looks around as the crowd cheers. Aries backs away to the back before we cut away.

We open up backstage as Sienna Swann is seen walking through the backstage. The crowd boos seeing her as we then see Jessica Winters walking over to her.

 

Jessica: “Sienna! Can I get a word?”

 

Sienna stops and turns to her.

 

Sienna: “What do you want? I have to return to getting prepared to ring in the…Perfect New Year.”

 

Jessica: “I’m sure. But you just got involved in the SCW World Championship match-“

 

Sienna: “Now, now…didn’t change anything.”

 

Jessica: “Then why?”

 

Sienna smiles.

 

Sienna: “There just in case Jake choked again. Because Jessica…and frankly, had they sent Spirit to speak to me instead of you, she’d know…that World Championship will be mine. And I don’t care how good Ikiro Yoshida may be in that ring…with how he acts, he’s not touching that title. Plus, he and Selena are friendly….that should disqualify him outright. Now if you excuse me…”

 

Sienna Swann then walks past Jessica Winters. Jessica watches her leave. The crowd boos.

We then open up to another area of the building to see Ace Marshall walking backstage before we see someone running up to him.

 

???: “Hey! Ace!”

 

Ace stops and turns before turning and seeing a seventeen year old kid, one fans should recognize as Owen Cruze.

 

Ace: “Uh…damn…okay, I’m not your dad. Trust me, I may have had a few rough years where I looked older, but that was just because I was tired. Nothing else. NOTHING…okay…so go find your mom-“

 

Owen: “Actually I doubt my mom would want me here.”

 

Ace: “Oh dear….one of the ones who hates me…okay.-“

 

Owen: “I’m not looking to be your son. You don’t know who I am?”

 

Ace: “D have a son now?”

 

Owen: “I’m Owen….Owen Cruze.”

 

Ace: “Cru…Cruze…Oh hey, you’re the little bastard Blake piledrove. Well that’s great. Your legs still work. Even better-“

 

Owen: “I want to be in the Open Invitational.”

 

Ace: “Oh…that, well…”

 

Ace sighs, suddenly being serious.

 

Ace: “How old are you?”

 

Owen: “I’ll be eighteen in a month.”

 

Ace: “Not close enough. Not with what we plan to have out there. And trust me, I don’t want those lawsuits. Maybe next year when I when Trios again. I’ll need to to keep Cass’ habits in check. Just…take notes or something. Okay?”

 

Owen sighs, shaking his head. Ace turns and heads off.

 

???: “Owen!”

 

Owen then turns back as Shaun Cruze walks over to him. The crowd roars.

 

Shaun: “Owen, where’d you go?”

 

Owen: “Tried to get into the ring. Show mom that I can actually do this.”

 

Shaun: “Well, nice try. But I’m with Ace and your mother for tonight…You deserve your shot here when you’re eighteen, but until then, I’m not risking Taylor having more reasons to come from me. Listen to her until then. Got me?”

 

Owen pauses and then smiles.

 

Owen: “Alright…alright.”

 

Shaun: “Let’s go.”

 

Owen and Shaun head off as we cut back to the ring.

Josh Hudson vs. CHBK

 

“Fall Into Sleep" begins to filter through the sound system and out from the back steps none other than Josh Hudson. He stops atop the entrance ramp, and looks out into the crowd and shakes his head, before heading down to the ring.

 

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for one-fall and has a twenty minute time limit. First, on his way to the ring, from New York City, New York, he is representing Past, Present, Future, he is Josh Hudson!”

 

He embraces the negative reaction with outstretched arms before walking down the ramp with a smirk on his face. He continues to slowly make his way to the ring, a look of determination on his face as he slides underneath the ropes. He climbs to the top rope and stares out into the crowd, smirking, before dropping down and sitting against the turnbuckle, waiting for the match to begin.

 

Sharper: “This is a match of many facets. A long history. Josh Hudson and CHBK have been rivals in some way since 2004. But now, it takes a different dimension with Past, Present, Future and Dark Fantasy.”

 

Knots: “Hudson could’ve beat Syren at Rise to Greatness! CHBK screwed that up!”

 

Sharper: “That’s one possibility. But CHBK has stood by Syren and Ravyn. Hudson stands by Regan Street and Sienna Swann and Hudson has been in particular ready for this to get CHBK out of his and their way.”

 

“This is How a Heart Breaks” plays throughout the arena and the crowd immediately starts to cheer. The music plays for a few moments before we see CHBK walk out from the back with his arms outstretched and pyro shoots out from the sides of the entrance way. He stands at the top of the entrance way and just looks out, still with his arms out and just looking down to the ring. He soaks in the cheers for a moment before starting to walk down to the ring with his arm in the air.

 

Phillips: “And his opponent, from Toronto, Ontario, Canada, he is the Canadian Heartbreak Kid!”

 

The cheers continue as CHBK reaches the ring and walks up the steel steps. He then walks along the apron before stepping through the ropes and he gets in before Hudson runs at him and CHBK, still in his entrance attire, braces for impact as Hudson spears him into the corner. The crowd ohs.

 

Sharper: “It’s his first match in over a year and a half. He’s not what he was, but Hudson doesn’t care! Here we go!”

 

Knots: “Back into the corner! Oh yeah!”

 

Hudson rears back and spears him again. The referee gets involved and tries to get Hudson back. Hudson is forced back and spins around before nailing CHBK with a hard right. CHBK falls to a knee and Hudson is forced back finally. He paces as the crowd boos. The referee, Jackson Kohl, checks on CHBK. CHBK nods and starts to get up. Hudson steps forward. Kohl stops him. Hudson steps back, rolling his eyes and CHBK gets up. The bell then sounds and Hudson storms past Kohl, but CHBK nails him with a hard right. The crowd roars. CHBK nails him with a left jab and then another and another before dropping Hudson with a hard right hook./

 

Sharper: “CHBK with a volley back! This match now started and CHBK using the reprieve to great effect!”

 

Knots: “Caught him coming in!”

 

Hudson gets back up and CHBK kicks him in the ribs and chops him. He grabs him and whips him across. Hudson is sent into the ropes. CHBK nails him with a back elbow. He then spins into the ropes. CHBK winces a bit and turns back as Hudson starts to get up and Hudson hoists him up and turns, forcing him down with a Greco-Roman takedown. He then mounts CHBK and nails him with a hard right and then another and another and another. CHBK covers up as the referee calls for the break. Hudson gets up and walks around the ring. CHBK rolls over and starts to get up and Hudson runs at him and drills him with a clothesline, sending him up and over the top rope to the floor.

 

Sharper: “Hard shot. Hudson back in control, sending CHBK to the floor.”

 

Knots: “And that’s the big question. How many shots can CHBK take? Hasn’t wrestled in nearly two years. Age too.”

 

Sharper: “Hudson doesn’t care. He wants to get CHBK out of his way.”

 

CHBK rolls over. (1) Hudson drops down to the floor. (1) He then walks over and nails CHBK with a hard right. CHBK falls to the barricade. (2) He nails him again. He then hoists him up and turns and drives him into the ring apron. (3) Hudson then scoops him up and slams him on the floor. CHBK grimaces and slowly rolls over. (4) Hudson pulls CHBK up and then turns and rolls him into the ring. Hudson rolls in after. CHBK starts to get up and Hudson nails him with a clothesline. CHBK hits the mat. He slowly rolls over and Hudson shakes his head. He then grabs him and clubs him hard in the back. CHBK drops to his knees. Hudson clubs him again. CHBK drops again before Hudson pulls him up. He then looks around and goes for a belly to belly suplex. CHBK however blocks it and rakes the eyes of Hudson. Hudson turns back. He shakes it off and turns towards CHBK and CHBK hits a dropkick, knocking him down.

 

Sharper: “CHBK with the dropkick, but you can see, he can’t take the beating he once did.”

 

Knots: “Yeah, Hudson going for the back too. The book hasn’t changed there. Only thing is that it’s now a must after what Trinity Street did to him.”

 

CHBK gets up and Hudson slowly gets up. CHBK hooks him up and hits a snap suplex. He rolls over and goes for the pin.

Hudson kicks out. Both men start to get up. Hudson slowly turns and CHBK chops him. The crowd woos. He chops him again. He then pushes him into the ropes. He fires him off and Hudson bounces off. CHBK hits a hip toss on the rebound. He then bounces off the ropes behind him and hits a running knee drop. He rolls through.

Hudson kicks out. CHBK rolls off. He then turns and exits to the apron before climbing up to the top rope. Hudson starts to pull himself up and CHBK waits a moment before diving off with a double axe handle smash. Hudson hits the mat.

 

Sharper: “CHBK showing he’s still got that agility. Hard shot. Double axe, takes down Hudson.”

 

Knots: “And he’s just doing what he needs to. I hate it, but he’s actually doing exactly what he needs to do.”

 

Sharper: “All experience playing a role here.”

 

CHBK then walks over and stands next to Hudson and hits a sloppy standing moonsault. He turns and hooks the leg.

Hudson pushes him off. CHBK turns and looks around before turning and grabbing at the leg of Hudson. He kicks at it. He then kicks at it again. Hudson then boots him in the ribs. Hudson rolls back. CHBK winces and steps forward and Hudson lifts him up and places him forward before then throwing him overhead with a release belly to belly suplex. CHBK rolls over in pain. Hudson then turns and looks at him before starting to pull himself up. CHBK starts to stir and Hudson then pulls him in and hits a second belly to belly suplex.

 

Sharper: “And a second belly to belly suplex.”

 

Knots: “Looks like Hudson had the exact counter in mind!”

 

CHBK slowly rolls over, wincing in pain and Hudson gets up and pulls him up before hoisting him up in a gutwrench and powerbombs him down. He sits out.

CHBK kicks out. He turns and Hudson turns with him, locking in a single leg crab. CHBK yells out and Hudson sits down. CHBK reaches out. He then starts to move a bit as Hudson pulls him back. He looks around and CHBK starts to drag him forward toward the ropes. Hudson holds on, trying to pull him back, but sitting down to keep the pain. CHBK drags himself a bit more. He then reaches for the ropes. Hudson steps up and turns around before dragging CHBK back. CHBK looks up and then grabs Hudson and rolls him up with an inside cradle.

Hudson kicks out. Both get up and CHBK promptly goes for the Bittersweet Ending, but Hudson ducks. CHBK stops and turns and Hudson scoops him up and hits a backbreaker. The crowd ohs and boos. CHBK arches is back in pain. Hudson just smiles.

 

Sharper: “CHBK tried to end it suddenly. Hudson had it scouted.”

 

Knots: “Not just that, but countered it by going right for the back!”

 

Sharper: “I think CHBK realized that back’s not as stable as he thought!”

 

Knots: “The crab didn’t help that either!”

 

Hudson turns as CHBK rolls over, holding his back and starting to get up. Hudson then scoops him up and drops him with a second backbreaker. CHBK grimaces in pain again. Hudson then smiles before pulling him up. He drags him up and locks in a waistlock from behind. He looks around and then smirks before CHBK elbows him in the jaw. He elbows him again and then a third time. Hudson staggers back and CHBK turns and kicks him in the ribs and hits a double arm DDT. The crowd roars.

CHBK staggers forward and Hudson then scoops him up for a back suplex before spinning around and driving him down onto his knee. CHBK rolls over, arching his back.

 

Sharper: “And back to the back!”

 

Knots: “CHBK tried for that choke, but no luck there.”

 

Sharper: “Hudson’s just too much here!”

 

CHBK drags himself towards the ropes, trying to get to them as Hudson turns and walks over to him. He then stomps him in the small of the back. CHBK winces and Hudson then turns and grabs his legs. He crosses them over. He then steps into them and falls back and grabs CHBK’s neck. CHBK winces as Hudson bridges up, pulling on the neck of CHBK. CHBK winces and reaches out. Hudson pulls back, twisting himself for more torque. CHBK continues to reach out as Hudson wrenches over and over, showing his own neck and back strength here. CHBK tries to bridge up to get to the ropes, but can’t. The referee keeps checking and CHBK tries to hold on before tapping out on the mat. The crowd roars and boos. Hudson holds on for a moment. The bell sounds as the referee tells him to let go. Hudson holds on for a moment before letting go and rolling over. He then smirks.

 

Phillips: “Here is your winner, via submission, Josh Hudson!”

 

Sharper: “I don’t believe it.”

 

Knots: “I do and we’re going to hear about it forever!”

 

Sharper: “Josh Hudson has made CHBK tap out!”

 

Hudson looks at CHBK. He just smiles as he see CHBK crawling to the ropes. Hudson just looks at him as the crowd boos. Hudson then turns and exits to the apron. He drops down to the floor. He then looks around before suddenly rolling back into the ring. He gets in and promptly grabs CHBK by his legs. He steps through and then turns him over into a sharpshooter. The crowd boos as Hudson sits down. CHBK yells out, clearly in pain. The referee tries to get Hudson off of CHBK, but CHBK actually taps out some more. The crowd boos more as Hudson grits his teeth, smiling as he pulls back.

 

Sharper: “Come on! Get off of him Hudson!’

 

Knots: “This is what he wants. CHBK is submitting more. He’s tapping out. For years, no one could. One man did, Donovan Kayl. Josh Hudson has tried so many times!”

 

CHBK’s tapping becomes less frequent. Hudson keeps pulling back. Officials start to run out from the back as the bell sounds again. The referee tries to Hudson off, but Hudson shakes his head no, continue to sit down. CHBK starts to fade, his arm not moving anywhere near as much. Hudson just smiles before the referee starts to waive it off. He turns and goes to Phillips, saying something to him.

 

Phillips: “Ladies and gentlemen, the referee for this match has decided that since Josh Hudson will not release the hold, he has disqualified Josh Hudson. Therefore, your winner, via disqualification, CHBK!”

 

The crowd cheers a bit as Hudson just scoffs, letting go.

 

Hudson: “Fine!”

 

Hudson just looks back at CHBK. We then see Syren running down from the back. The crowd cheers as Syren runs down to the ring. She reaches the ring. Hudson drops down and slides to the floor. Syren looks at Hudson as she goes over to CHBK. CHBK rolls over, wincing.

 

Sharper: “The referee reversing the decision.”

 

Knots: “Hudson I doubt cares. He got what he wanted. He got CHBK to submit to him and repeatedly. No mistake there.”

 

Sharper: “CHBK is not the same as he was in years past. It’s a moral victory for him to win this by disqualification.”

 

Knots: “But it’s a huge victory for Hudson. Everyone knows what happened here!”

 

Sharper: “Syren coming out. Officials checking on CHBK….”

 

Hudson walks around the ring before starting to head to the back. The crowd continues to look on as we cut away.

We open up with a shot of darkness. We then hear footsteps before the sound of industrial lights turning on with loud clicks. The camera focuses on the lights as they each come on, one set at a time. We then hear more footsteps before we cut to an old dusty ring, illuminated. The camera slowly shows the ring, showing the turnbuckles with the old SCW logo before cutting to the ring canvas and then finally the ring skirts, showing the old SCW logo again. We then see a figure stepping into the ring. He steps forward and looks around as the camera pans out to show Mr. D as he stands in the middle of the ring. He just sighs and nods. He then looks around before snapping his fingers. The scene then cuts to a shot of last year’s Rise to Greatness before cutting to a shot of Rise to Greatness in the Rogers Centre. We see Mr. D standing in the middle of the ring, as the images of past opening segments of Rise to Greatness flash all around him.

 

Mr. D: “Been a hell of a journey…A lot of history…”

 

Mr. D then smirks.

 

Mr. D: “Let’s see what we can do back at home…”

 

The scene then cuts to a shot of the Rise to Greatness logo with “XV” behind it.

 

“Rise to Greatness XV, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, July 22, 2018”

 

The logo remains on the screen for a few moments before slowly fading to black.

We open up back on the stage to see Shawn Winters looking around.

 

Shawn: “Welcome back to the End of the Year Awards and up next, we start seeing who were the cream of the crop and we start off with the SCW Tag Team of the Year. A year that was certainly interesting for the tag division with some new teams coming up, with some old teams coming back and a whole lot of controversy in the middle. But, without further ado…”

 

Shawn Winters turns to Paris Truelove who hands him the envelope. Shawn opens it and slides out the card. He then looks around.

 

Shawn: “This is going to make one person unhappy…your SCW Tag Team of 2017…Shaun Cruze and AJ Helms…Honour Code!”

 

The crowd roars. The lights flicker in the arena, before going off fully, a single spotlight shining on the entrance way as it's fills with smoke. The spotlight then starts to strobe, as the opening riff to ‘Rise’ by Sixx: Am hits over the PA system. We then see Shaun Cruze and AJ Helms walk out from the back, both in their street clothes. We see Owen Cruze also with them as Shaun Cruze walks over and AJ Helms takes one award from London, Shaun his award from Paris. They walk over to the podium. Shaun turns to AJ. AJ steps up.

 

AJ: “After the year that I had, standing here with this feels good. A good way to look back on what was one of the most trying times of my career, but just like I stood by this man, knowing that despite that one horrible moment, knowing he was a genuinely good person, we were able to stand and give it a good run and now…I just hope this is a fitting end to the career before you go and make millions in Hollywood?”

 

Shaun chuckles a bit and steps up to the microphone.

 

Shaun: “I think this will bookend it well. It’s an honour that despite a year where I showed horrible judgment that in the ring, I was able to still show that I could still go. I may be calling it a career. That Chamber Match was it for me, but I will always remember this year for both the positives and negatives and I hope, AJ, that I was able to teach you more right from wrong.”

 

The crowd cheers some more.

 

Shaun: “And all of you wondering about what wrestling is going to be like without a Cruze, you don’t have to worry for long because in due time, the next generation is going to come here. This…this is Owen Cruze. Lando’s son. And Owen, he’s coming to SCW. It’s just a matter of when and when he does….he’s going to kick ass! Thank you for this…thank you for this honour…now AJ…Owen…take it from here.”

 

Shaun Cruze steps back and “Rise” starts to play again. Shaun Cruze and AJ Helms back up, holding up their awards. Shaun turns to Owen and places him in front of him before pointing to him. Owen just looks around, throwing his arms in the air too before they start to make their exit as the scene fades to black.

The SCW End of the Year Special Awards logo comes up on the screen. A female voice can be heard.

 

“The 2017 SCW End of the Year Awards….Feud of the Year…”

 

We then open up to see a shot of Rise to Greatness before we see Lexi von Aaron with her hair in front of her face, glaring at AJ Helms. We then see a shot of Lexi von Aaron standing over Scarlett Pearson, celebrating before showing Lexi von Aaron walking out from the back. Lexi pulls the robe open and points to her breasts and screams "PROPERTY OF AJ!".

 

Phillips: “And her opponent, from Orange County, California, she is Lexi von Aaron!”

 

Lexi stops and looks up and storms to the ring, immediately stopping her entrance. She heads down to the ring and looks up at the ring. She starts to yell at Jason Phillips.

 

Lexi: “That’s not my name! It’s Helms! H-E-L-M-S! I am AJ’S! A! J’S!”

 

We cut to show a shot of Lexi snapping at Shaun Cruze before we see AJ Helms shaking his head.

 

AJ: “Get it through your head Lexi, I don’t love you!”

 

We see static before cutting to a shot of Lexi in bed with pixilation all around. Lexi leans back, presumably arching her back and leaning back. We then hear shuffling before some obviously cut audio of AJ’s voice.

 

AJ: “Lexi…I DON’T…believe that….YOU ARE DOING THIS…I DON’T LOVE….Scarlett. I- LOVE YOU!”

 

We then have another sudden cut before we hear AJ mumbling as Lexi is audible moaning in an over the top fashion as we see a moving blurred out mess on the bed. The moving continues.

 

We cut to the ring to see Lexi von Aaron fanning herself as Shaun Cruze just shakes his head.

 

We cut back to see more moving and over the top moaning before we get another quick cut.

 

AJ: “I…..TAKE YOUR VIRGINITY!- *sound of slamming door abruptly cut off* GOD….that…WAS....”

 

We see AJ Helms shaking his head before we cut to shots of Lexi von Aaron wheeling AJ Helms in an office chair, taped to it. This is followed by AJ Helms being forced to watch Lexi von Aaron doing a striptease in an empty strip club. We cut to see Angyalka Cruze about ready to attack Lexi at one point before we see Lexi von Aaron backstage at Broken Beliefs, clearly angry. We see Lexi von Aaron, wearing a t-shirt that says “Lexi is under the ring (and AJ).” She is holding a pipe in her hand.

 

Lexi: “Let me go! Where is she? Where is the woman who has forced AJ to make her demonseed!”

 

Security: “Lexi! You’re not being rational!”

 

Lexi: “Rational! I am being rational! MY MAN HAS BEEN VIOLATED!”

 

We see a shot of Blake Mason talking to Lexi von Aaron backstage as we see shots of Lexi going from fawning over AJ Helms to pure anger.

 

Lexi: “I’m not excited. I’m just happy I’m a day closer to making AJ feel all of the hate I have for him. He was supposed to be mine and he turned it away. Tonight, I will give him one final reminder….This could have all ended very differently…and I thank Blake for giving me this chance here tonight.”

 

We then see AJ Helms holding the SCW World Tag Team Championship with Shaun Cruze and Angyalka Cruze before seeing the tweet regarding Scarlett Pearson’s pregnancy and Lexi von Aaron letting out a yell. We then see Lexi von Aaron entering the ring and nailing AJ Helms with the SCW World Tag Team Championship belt at the End of the Year Special before showing The F-Ups celebrating with the titles.

 

Dave: “New Champions!”

 

Knots: “And with no cheating! Champions we can be proud of!”

 

We then cut to Rise to Greatness to see AJ Helms walking to the ring, shaking his head. This is followed by showing Lexi von Aaron sauntering out from the back, dressed in a black cloak. She has a scythe in her hand as her hair covers her face

 

Sharper: “He would love for something else to end instead and that’s this issue with Lexi von Aaron. He would love to get some normalcy and an opportunity to enjoy, and celebrate, the birth of his newborn with Scarlett Pearson.”

 

Knots: “Something that is only going to irk Lexi von Aaron more.”

 

We see shots of Lexi von Aaron brawling with AJ, going for the face and kicking at the leg before showing her trying to scratch and claw, going for the eyes, followed by a kick between the legs. This is followed by a shot of Helms hitting the Wake Up Call as Lexi drops in a heap.

 

Sharper: “Lexi moving though. Helms trying to compete like this is a regular match, but he can’t. Still trying to take that high road, despite everything! Lexi von Aaron however is just trying to maim him. To hurt him. To take something from him as she’s gone on this downward spiral!”

 

This is followed by showing Helms hitting a T-Bone suplex on Lexi and then showing Lexi striking him with a kendo stick. We cut to show Helms hitting the GFAP on Lexi and then AJ Helms celebrating.

 

Sharper: “And the GFAP finishes it off. Helms definitively, he hopes, has put the final point on this. Lexi von Aaron tried to fight. Tried to scrap. Tried to take something, but Helms managed to stop her.”

 

Knots: “And I said that may have been a last gasp. The question is whether Lexi will move or not. If she doesn’t, or if she doesn’t find something to get her back on path…her career is in doubt.”

 

Sharper: “Not an issue for AJ Helms. A newsworthy weekend, but with a good moment for him. Hopefully the end of his time with Lexi von Aaron.”

 

The scene slowly fades to black…

 

“The SCW Feud of 2017….Lexi von Aaron vs. AJ Helms.”

 

The End of the Year Special logo comes up on the screen.

We return to see Shawn Winters at the podium.

 

Shawn: “And AJ survived and Lexi von Aaron is going to be challenging for the World Tag Team Championship. Wrestling folks.”

 

The crowd roars a bit.

 

Shawn: “But it’s time now for our first of our final two awards of the year. And this year as it is every year, to pick a Female of the Year in SCW is difficult. So many women showing that they can kick ass as well as anyone else in history? From history being made, to dominance at the top, to Perfection…to setting new records. So…who is it?”

 

London and Paris both don’t hand anything over.

 

Shawn: “Come on…”

 

London rolls her eyes and turns and extends the envelope. It’s been opened.

 

Shawn: “Really? It’s not Sienna is it?”

 

The crowd cheers.

 

Shawn: “Oh, well then.”

 

Shawn opens the envelope. He turns to the Truelove Twins.

 

Shawn: “I get what you’d probably be annoyed. Not a fan of some people affiliated with Sienna, because your Female of 2017 is….Amy Chastaine!”

 

The crowd roars. Blue and white lights flash in time with the music and the words:

"Tear me down, it won't build you up"

 

We then hear “Relentless” by New Year’s Day play as a few moments pass. We then see Amy Chastaine walk out from the back, looking a bit surprised. She steps forward and London just holds out the title, looking around as Amy turns and looks at her. She shakes her head, taking the award before turning back and watching them before turning to the podium.

 

Amy: “This has been a long year. While it’s easy to stand here and look at the titles I’ve won, I also had two friends betray me, one many irreparably. I’ve been sent to rehab. I’ve seen phantoms from the past return. My best friend went off the road….and I’ve also started a partnership with someone who is as impressive and anyone else in Kennedy Street and trust me when I say she is going to be someone to watch this year. She’s paid her dues, SCW…trust me there.”

 

Amy pauses for a moment.

 

Amy: “And despite that, I was able to stand here and do history. Being the first female to be a Supreme Champion. I head the US, Adrenaline, and Tag Team Championships all this year. But I look at this roster, from the Syren’s and Ravyn Taylors, to the Selena Frosts, to Bree Lancaster yes…and even the Regan Streets and Sienna Swanns…with Kennedy and I right there too….having this title when all of them were forces in this federation this year. That’s the most humbling of all. Thank you…and to Resurgence and Chad Evans and Lexi von Aaron…B.A.E. are going to come right for you and we’re just getting started!”

 

The crowd cheers. Amy backs up and poses for the crowd for a moment before then backing up and turning to the entrance way.

We open up backstage to see Mr. D standing backstage, talking to one of the officials. We then see Ravyn Taylor walking up to him wearing her wrestling attire. Mr. D excuses himself from his conversation and turns to Ravyn.

 

Mr. D: “Ravyn?”

 

Ravyn: “Just curious…you normally are not one to spend forever making decisions. I think this is a rather simple one.”

 

Mr. D: “It’s never simple in these situations. Plus, I want to hear what the investigation turns up before I do anything. Otherwise, it may hamper the investigation, preventing the justice you deserve. We have time.”

 

Ravyn: “Except that it’s also quite insulting to someone who has done plenty for this company.”

 

Mr. D: “I understand it’s not a popular decision-“

 

Ravyn: “Popularity has nothing to do with it. As for justice, Syren is the one who deserves it. I…I don’t wait and I will create my own opportunity. Focus on her. I don’t need anything. Neither does Alex. Zoe deserves it.”

 

Mr. D: “Convenient that you’re trying to take yourself out of any thought process given that frankly, I should not want to give you much of anything.”

 

Ravyn: “And if you do that, you’re doing just as much to screw Zoe over as it would to me. Keep her separate from me. She’s not me.”

 

Ravyn turns and walks off. Mr. D watches her leave before turning back to the official he was talking to.

End of the Year Open Invitational

SCW Adrenaline Championship

 

A countdown starts on the big screen in fast progression from five to one before "Adrenalize" hits the speakers and the spotlights start to spin and focus in on the stage. The fans erupt in mixed reactions as on stage Ace Marshall steps out with Oakley shades and a black robe on. Cassidy Carter comes out to join him by his side, holding a clipboard.

ADRENALIZE ME

He pauses before raises his arms up for the crowd as strobe lights break out throughout the arena for the crowd in different shades of red, blue and green in rapid succession. Smoke erupts from underneath them and along the ramp way.

 

Sharper: “Here we go. The Open Invitational…”

 

Knots: “Are we ready for this?”

 

Sharper: “Probably not. It’s an open invitational, with one big proviso. You need to meet the requirement of wearing a sexy costume as determined by those two.”

 

Knots: “I’m not sure what to think here.”

 

Ace Marshall walks over to the podium, strutting a bit as Cassidy looks around, smiling as she wears an Ace Marshall t-shirt and jeans. She looks around before placing the clipboard on the podium.

 

Ace: “We ready for this….Open Invitational time! Woooo!”

 

The crowd cheers.

 

Cassidy: “Yeah, yeah…save your applause. We’re just getting started. And to speed this up, we did a bit of prescreening in the back for about ten or so people until I got board and Ace gave me a foot rub. So…could those ten individuals please come on out and join us in the ring!”

 

Cassidy moves her arm, doing a really bad impression of a showgirl as she backs up. A few moments pass and “ “ plays. A few moments pass before we see Calvan Greene walk out from the back, wearing his fur coat, shades, and standard leopard print wrestling trunks. He shows off his abs and turns to Cassidy who just smiles and gives her a thumbs up.

 

Sharper: “Well starting off with a former World Tag Team Champion.”

 

Knots: “I can give a couple of reasons why Cassidy approved him!”

 

Calvan continues on his way to the ring. We then see Gunner Wayne walk out from the back, shirtless, but wearing black spandex tights. Cassidy turns to Ace, making a hand gesture referring to his size. Ace rolls his eyes. Gunner Wayne looks around and cracks his knuckles before starting to make his way to the ring. We then cut back to the entrance way as a man in a rabbit suit, The Rabbit, runs out and looks around. The crowd roars. He jumps forward a bit before starting to hop down to the ring.

 

Sharper: “And that ended quick…I haven’t a damn clue.”

 

Knots: “White rabbit Sharper. Shots fired at Giovanni!”

 

Sharper: “I’ll take your word for that. But that’s not exactly uh…”

 

Knots: “Look at him! He’s got no clothes on!”

 

The Rabbit continues to hop down to the ring. We then see Memphis Cade walk out from the back, shirtless again, and with his arms outstretched. We then see Chubbs come out with him. Cassidy turns back to the microphone.

 

Cassidy: “No! No! Chubbs! You get the hell out of here! Get to the back! You fail! Out! SECURITY!”

 

Memphis ignores Chubbs as he continues to make his way to the back. Chubbs looks around, also shirtless and showing off his rather hairy chest. He walks up to Cassidy and Ace and Ace steps forward before we see a couple of security guards grabbing Chubbs. The crowd cheers as Chubbs drops to his knees and is dragged to the back.

 

Sharper: “Chubbs didn’t make it. Memphis Cade, former challenger to the Adrenaline Championship, did.”

 

Knots: “Again…I sense a trend!”

 

Cade continues on his way before we see Lord Jaxx run out from the back. He looks around and poses, wearing a latex suit with fake abs on it. He looks around before turning and flashing a light at Ace Marshall who turns back, trying to block it. Cassidy grabs him, preventing him from falling off the stage. He staggers forward as Lord Jaxx jogs to the ring. We then see Asher Hayes walk out from the back. Cassidy Carter extends her hand and high fives him as he gingerly starts to walk to the middle of the stage. He then starts to make his way to the ring. The crowd cheers. Hayes holds his arm up and walks to the ring.

 

Sharper: “Some interesting history there. Hayes used to be Rachel Foxx’s boyfriend and well, Cassidy Carter I guess recognizing that.”

 

Knots: “He’s wearing normal tights, so I guess that’s it. Either that, or Cassidy knows something we don’t know.”

 

We then see Leviticus walk out from the back, wearing a singlet with Cassidy Carter painted on it. The crowd cheers as Leviticus looks around. He then smiles before throwing his eyes in the air. He then starts to run to the ring. Cassidy turns to the microphone.

 

Cassidy: “Best wrestling attire in wrestling.”

 

We see E.S. Cormier walk out from the back as he shows off his black spandex and turns and points to Cassidy and winks. Cassidy winks back. Ace looks around before saying something to her. Cassidy waves him off. He continues on his way to the ring. This is followed by a shot of Sterling Hero walking out from the back, wearing all black. He looks around nervously before waving at Ace and Cassidy. Ace turns to Cassidy.

 

Ace: “Really?”

 

Cassidy: “Don’t worry. He’s not sexy. We just need to get him beat up.”

 

Ace: “Oh.”

 

Sterling Hero turns, shocked before turning back around and heading to the ring. Just then, we see Dylan Howell walk out from the back. The crowd erupts in cheers. Dylan Howell looks around, wearing a mankini. The crowd ohs and we cut to show some fans turning away as Dylan Howell runs over to Cassidy and hugs him before backing up and turning and heading off. Cassidy starts to rubs her shirt, trying to get the Dylan off of her.

 

Sharper: “Dylan Howell made that cut.”

 

Knots: “He wants Addy!”

 

Sharper: “I wish he wasn’t wearing that…just…uh…”

 

Knots: “We know he has nothing to hide! Nothing to hide! Nor is he packing?! Just saying.”

 

Sharper: “Good lord…That’s the ten pre-screened so…uh…here we go.”

 

We cut back to the podium.

 

Cassidy: “Alright….come on out. Get judged in front of the world!”

 

“I Love You Baby” by Frank Sinatra starts to play as we then see Gigi Steward and Maddy Steward walk out from the back, wearing a sexy devil and sexy angel costume respectively. The crowd cheers some as Cassidy starts to size them up. Ace meanwhile immediately responds.

 

Ace: “And you’re in.”

 

Cassidy: “Whoa…wait…”

 

Ace: “Do you want to deal with a formal protest?”

 

Cassidy: “Fair point. Carry on.”

 

Gigi and Maddy then start to head down to the ring. We then see Andrew Raynes walk out from the back and the crowd boos. He looks around and just shakes his head. Noticeably, he’s also just wearing his normal wrestling attire. Ace goes to stop him, but Cassidy quickly evaluates.

 

Cassidy: “And you’re in.”

 

Ace turns back.

 

Cassidy: “You see that treasure trail.”

 

Cassidy winks at Andrew Raynes who just ignores Cassidy and continues to the ring. We cut to the ring to see the ring filling up, as everyone but Lord Jaxx has chosen to be in the ring. We then cut back to see Glory Braddock walking out from the back. The crowd roars as she wears a lingerie style outfit. She looks over at Ace and Cassidy. The two talk to one another and Cassidy nods before Glory starts to walk to the ring. She looks around as the camera follows her down the rampway. We then cut back to the stage to see Cookie walking out from the back, wearing a Mrs. Claus outfit and looking around before jumping up and down, causing her cleavage to bounce.

 

Ace: “And you’re in.”

 

The crowd cheers as Cassidy just shrugs as Cookie runs over and hugs Ace. Ace just smiles before Cookie hugs Cassidy, who looks more disgusted before Cookie runs down the rampway. We then cut to see David Callahan walk out from the back in his English Admiral costume. Instead of his ostrich, he has taken a cardboard box and slides out on it, having drawn an ostrich on it. The crowd boos.

 

Sharper: “Well…that’s not an ostrich.”

 

Knots: “No…no it’s not. Good to know you’re paying attention.”

 

Ace: “What in the hell….”

 

Cassidy puts her head in her hand.

 

Ace: “Really, Dave? That’s what you did.”

 

David gets off the box and walks over.

 

David: “They took my ostrich!”

 

Cassidy: “Just go to the back....no…just….no.”

 

Ace: “Tell Sophie to beat some sense into you. What the hell, man?!”

 

David Callahan looks back with a snarl before turning and storming to the back.  Cassidy wlaks over and kicks the box at him.

 

Cassidy: “And take your damn box with you!”

 

Ace leans to the microphone.

 

Ace: “Just a warning…Cassidy will kick you right in the box if she’s angry. Just saying.”

 

The crowd roars as Cassidy smiles and bows. A few moments pass. We then see a masked female, El Angel del Cielo, wearing a short skirt and a tight top, showing off her ample breasts, dressed in pink and black. The crowd cheers. Cassidy looks at her and turns back to Ace. Ace and her talk a bit. Ace nods. Cassidy turns to microphone.

 

Cassidy: “That’s more like it. Go on through.”

 

El Angel makes her way to the ring, smiling through her mask as she heads down. We then see a dishevelled man stagger out, with a box on his waist. He holds it up. The crowd roars as we notice the man is otherwise wearing a pair of briefs and nothing much else.

 

Cassidy: “You take that gift on in there!”

 

The man jumps up and then nearly loses the box before grabbing it, keeping it there. He looks around before starting to head to the ring.

 

Knots: “What in the…”

 

Sharper: “Some interesting figures entering. Some big threats. Glory Braddock. And at least we have some wrestlers. We have some people who at least look the part. El Angel del Cielo being one.”

 

Knots: “Andrew Raynes in there. The Stewards. Some names in there.”

 

Mitch Sanders walks out wearing tight jeans and tight shirt. He takes a deep breath and struts forward and Cassidy just bursts into laughter. She then keeps waving and waving. Mitch Sanders just looks at her. Ace motions for him to keep going. Sanders then bolts down to the ring. We then see Beard walk out from the back and let out a yell. The crowd roars seeing him. Imogen Reed runs out with him and runs over and leans on him. We then notice that Beard is wearing just wrestling trunks, while Imogen has a body suit that’s selectively cut out. Imogen points to him and winks at Ace.

 

Ace: “And you’re good.”

 

Cassidy gives her the thumbs up.

 

Cassidy: “Remember who let you in!”

 

Beard gives a thumbs up back as Imogen jumps up in celebration before they head to the ring. A few moments pass before we then see Jason Helms walk out from the back, wearing a set of trunks with a lizard head on the front and the back. He also has a tote bag with him. He starts to walk forward. Helms turns to them. Ace and Cassidy talk.

 

Sharper: “Jason Helms now out. Beard down to the ring. Imogen celebrating already.”

 

Knots: “She just heard sex, not sexy costume.”

 

Sharper: “And Helms has that damn lizard picture on him. Clearly antagonizing Giovanni Aries!”

 

Cassidy turns to him and nods as Ace nods back. Jason smirks as he continues to the ring. The music fades out before cutting to “Work Bitch” by Britney Spears. The crowd cheers the music choice before we see the Gothfather walk out from the back, wearing leather pants and a see through shirt. He then walks over to Cassidy and Ace and leans over before whispering something to Ace. He backs up and Ace immediately motions to Gothfather to head to the ring. The crowd roars a bit as some boos come from the crowd.

 

Sharper: “And the Gothfather. One of the new signees. Making his debut here tonight.”

 

Knots: “He’s embraced this a bit, but he said something to Ace and Ace immediately told him to go to the ring.”

 

Sharper: “My guess is he made him an offer or something. I don’t know.”

 

Knots: “And he couldn’t refuse!”

 

We then see Scott Burnside run out from the back, wearing leather pants, no shirt. He takes a deep breath and jogs forward. He then stops and points to himself, sizing himself up. Ace just looks unimpressed as Scott drops to his knees, clutching his hands as if praying. Cassidy just shrugs.

 

Cassidy: “Alright…you can enter.”

 

Scott jumps up, thanking Ace and Cassidy before then running down to the ring. A few moments pass before Akira Kimura walks out from the back. The crowd cheers, remembering him. He takes a few steps.

 

Ace: “Daddy!”

 

Akira stops and looks confused.

 

Ace: “Go on in! Let’s kick the Lizard King’s ass together!”

 

Akira shakes his head, rolling his eyes and just focusing as he heads to the ring. The camera follows him for a few moments before the crowd roars and we see Scarlet Grey walk out from the back. She steps forward, wearing a rather revealing bra and panties set. She just leans over. Cassidy just turns to Ace, rolling her eyes. Ace just points to her.

 

Ace: “It’s sexy, isn’t it?!”

 

Cassidy: “Fine….fine…”

 

Scarlet just smiles and winks before starting to seductively walk down the rampway to the ring. The camera focuses on her. We then cut to the entrance way as Alistaire Allocco walks out from the back in his normal wrestling attire. He starts to stretch out.

 

Cassidy: “Whoa…whoa…what the hell are you doing?”

 

Alistaire stops and turns to Cassidy. He mouths “Entering the match.”

 

Cassidy: “Well where’s your sexy costume?|”

 

Alistaire looks around before pointing to his wrestling attire.

 

Cassidy: “Just get out of here. To the back! Get back!”

 

Alistaire just looks around. Cassidy gets up and swings the clipboard at him. Alistaire jukes back.

 

Alistaire: “Hey!”

 

Ace laughs as Cassidy swings again. Alistaire disappears to the back as the crowd cheers. As he goes to the back, we then see MV walk out from the back, half-dressed a bear, half….we don’t know. He looks around as the crowd responses, cheering and an MV chant begins. He looks around. Ace just shrugs and Cassidy turns to the microphone.

 

Cassidy: “Not hung like one, but whatever. To the ring!”

 

MV claps his hands and jumps up and heads to the ring. The crowd cheers. Just then, the music abruptly cuts. All of a sudden, the lights go out, prompting a surprised pop from the fans. Slowly, the sound of a beating heart begins to echo over the sound system, accompanied by heavy breathing in the background that definitely doesn’t sound anywhere close to human. Deep red lights slowly begin to illuminate the stage as a heavy cloud of smoke has begun to engulf it while the heartbeat gets faster in tempo, soon hitting a point where it’s so fast somebody would actually have a heart attack if it belonged to them. On the Tron, we see a pair of glowing red eyes before the shot slowly backs away, and it’s revealed that the heavy breathing belongs to a massive cerberus surrounded by a blood red abyss. Finally, the heartbeat stops, and this is when the cerberus lets out an ear-splitting roar that can be heard and felt by everyone in the arena. Ace and Cassidy just look around.

As the cerberus roars, a massive wall of flames erupts from the stage, and this is when the distorted sounds of “10 Inch Nails” by Audiomachine begin to play, the cerberus lingering on the Tron as it glares down at the ring with pure malice. Through the smoke, we see a figure crawling along, almost in rhythm with the pounding music. As he reaches the edge of the stage, he slowly rises from the smoke and reveals himself as the one and only Aaron Blackbourne, sharing the full extent of his creative mind for the very first time to an SCW audience. His black tights, black knee pads, black arm sleeves and black wrestling boots with kick pads all have bloody claw marks designed into them, and the tights also have the cerberus designed onto the right side of the back. His body is also painted for the occasion: a cerberus painted on where the top half of the roaring middle head takes up his face as the other half consumes his throat and upper chest, and the other two heads are painted into his arms and end right when their teeth meet the arm sleeves. Painted onto his back is a scene that resembles the gate to an underground prison, or perhaps even a world. Cassidy and Ace just watch him as Blackbourne ignores Cassidy and Ace and heads to the ring.

The demonic-looking Blackbourne slowly and erratically makes his way down the ramp, cautiously eyeing the fans who are simply in awe of what they’re seeing as he almost looks ready to strike at a moment’s notice. When he reaches ringside he squats down and takes a moment to glare around ringside before it settles on those already in the ring. In the blink of an eye, he suddenly leaps onto the apron and quickly climbs so that he’s got one foot on the top turnbuckle, arms raised an outstretched as he rears his head back and lets out a primal roar of his own, white spotlights suddenly coming on and converging on him in this moment. Blackbourne leaps from the top and into the ring as the lights return to normal, crouching down along the ropes as he carefully eyes those around him, ready to strike at a moment’s notice and make them regret picking a fight with the Cerberus. The crowd roars and the music ends before we then hear “Work Bitch” continue playing exactly from where it cut. Cassidy and Ace look around.

 

Knots: “Hey…he didn’t get vetted.”

 

Sharper: “You going to stop him?”

 

Knots: “No.”

 

Sharper: “Well then let him be. That man is Aaron Blackbourne and I was talking to some people backstage and when they saw him here, they got excited. Apparently, he’s a very unique individual and could have a big future.”

 

We then see Roxi walk out from the back, wearing booty shorts and a white t-shirt, tied up. She steps forward and the crowd looks on as Ace and Cassidy look to each other.

 

Ace: “Alright then…uh….well…that’s a bit more like it.”

 

Cassidy: “Head on down. Keeping it classy.”

 

Roxi just smiles as she starts to head down to the ring. We then cut to the stage as the crowd erupts as Giovanni Aries steps out from the back, holding the SCW Adrenaline Championship. We also notice that he’s wearing rabbit ears, his robe, and wearing what appears like a thong, just from the side. Aries walks forward and looks right at Ace. Ace gets up and backs up.

 

Cassidy: “Alright, sir…could you turn around.”

 

Ace: “Cass?!”

 

Giovanni Aries slowly walks towards them.

 

Cassidy: “Okay, okay! Go to the ring. Sir…you need to go to the ring!”

 

Ace: “Yeah…Get! GET!”

 

Giovanni Aries looks to the ring before stepping away from Ace. He clutches the SCW Adrenaline Championship as “Lizard People!” chants break out. Giovanni Aries continues to keep his eyes on Ace and Cassidy before starting to make his way down to the ring.

 

Sharper: “The SCW Adrenaline Champion now to the ring.”

 

Knots: “Thought about going right for Cassidy or Ace. But he needs to be entered into this to actually defend it.”

 

Sharper: “Giovanni Aries continues to glance back to Ace. Obviously, Giovanni Aries blames Ace for it.”

 

Knots: “Not the Lizard King?!”

 

As Giovanni Aries heads to the ring, we then suddenly see Ikiro Yoshida step out from the back. The crowd cheers. An “Ikiro!” chant begins as Ikiro looks around. Cassidy and Ace immediately start to let him go to the ring as Ikiro starts to dance a bit before heading down. The crowd cheers for him. We then see Angelica Jones walk out from the back, wearing black lingerie style of wrestling attire. She steps forward and looks right at Ace and Cassidy. Angelica meanwhile points to the ring.

 

Sharper: “Ikiro Yoshida joining us. I guess he wants a second title match.”

 

Knots: “Came so close earlier. Wants to try again!”

 

Sharper: “And now Angelica Jones and Angelica wants to get down there!”

 

Knots: “No more room in the ring. Jesus. How many people do we have?!”

 

Ace and Cassidy nod as Angelica turns and starts to head to the ring. The crowd cheers. Angelica gets towards the end of the ramp as she’s stopped by people like Ikiro, Gigi and Maddy who have gone to the floor and Akira Kimura who has stayed on the floor too. Glory Braddock just watches her. We then cut to the top of the stage as we see Torsten Voigt walk out from the back, wearing his normal wrestling attire. Ace then steps forward.

 

Ace: “Oh no…this is not going to wor-“

 

Torsten immediately just nails Ace right in the throat with a hard right. Ace falls to the stage, choking and coughing. Cassidy checks on him as Torsten ignores them and just starts to head down the rampway. Cassidy waves him off as Cassidy keeps checking him.

 

Sharper: “Well that’s one way to get past it. Torsten resorting to violence.”

 

Knots: “Sometimes it’s the best way to deal with things.”

 

Sharper: “Kids…don’t listen to Knots.”

 

Knots: “Hey! It worked for Torsten!”

 

The crowd then erupts in cheers as we see Selena Frost wearing a variation of her wrestling attire, complete with selectively removed parts. She just looks over at Ace and Cassidy and smirks as she steps forward. Cassidy gets up and goes to stop her, but Selena backs up on her back foot. Cassidy jukes back and then motions for her to go to the ring. Cassidy just watches Selena as Selena smirks as she turns and continues to head down to the ring. The crowd cheers for Selena.

 

Sharper: “And how about that?! Selena Frost entering.”

 

Knots: “Oh God!”

 

Sharper: “And she threatened Cassidy. Cassidy elected to let her go!”

 

Knots: “She’s probably got something planned! I hope so!”

 

We then cut back to the stage to see Ace starting to get up. Cassidy starts to help him up as we then see a woman with an ample sized posterior walk right up to them and place her ass right next to Ace’s head. He looks up and the camera pans back to show Kandis. We see Ryan Watson with her. Ace then notices Ryan before turning and grabbing at the microphone, staggering to his feet.

 

Ace: “Damn Autumn! You got back-“

 

Cassidy shakes Ace and smacks him.

 

Cassidy: “Snap out of it.”

 

Ace: “Oh…you’re not Autumn….okay, you’re in…”

 

The crowd roars. Kandis walks down to the ring with Ryan Watson. The crowd cheers her before we then see Bill Barnhart walk out from the back, wearing a pink, we hope not, thong. He then steps forward. Cassidy’s eyes widen. As she does, “Lollipop” by Lil Wayne starts to play.

 

Cassidy: “Just go…don’t stop. Just go. GO!”

 

Bill Barnhart: “Damn right!”

 

Bill Barnhart starts to head to the ring as the crowd boos him. Meanwhile, we cut to the Gothfather who looks at him. We then notice Torsten Voigt in the ring too as several people have separated from Voigt in the ring. We then cut to the stage as we see Damon Cage and Mr. Casey carrying Jerry the Lawn Gnome out from the back. The crowd erupts in cheers. A “Jerry!” chant begins. Cage and Casey look at each other. Casey snaps at Cage as Cassidy turns to the microphone.

 

Cassidy: “Jerry’s in!”

 

Ace: “Wait…it’s a lawn gnome,”

 

Cassidy: “But it’s so hard…and big….”

 

Cassidy leans on the podium, clearly for effect, pounding on it, while looking at Ace, eye to eye.

 

Ace: “Take the lawn gnome to the ring!”

 

Casey and Cage then start to speedily head down, electing to not ask questions about themselves either. We then see Kimberly Williams run up behind Ace and smack him in the eyes with a dominatrix whip. She then backs up, wearing all black leather and holds up her whip. Cassidy high fives her and Ace nods. He gives a thumbs up and Kim backs up and holds her whip up. The crowd cheers. She then starts to make her way to the ring. We then cut to see Ravyn Taylor walk out from the back, wearing her normal attire of all things. She just steps out and looks at Cassidy and Ace as the crowd erupts in cheers.

 

Cassidy: “Oh you….please spin.”

 

Ravyn spins around.

 

Cassidy: “Again.”

 

Ravyn spins again.

 

Cassidy: “I don’t know.”

 

Ravyn then leans in as both look at Ace and particularly his lower half. Cassidy smirks.

 

Cassidy: “Okay, you’re good.”

 

Ace: “Whoa, wait. What are you talking about?”

 

Ravyn leans in.

 

Ravyn: “Nothing to be too worried about, Ace.”

 

Ravyn backs up and starts to make her way down the rampway.

 

Sharper: “Ravyn Taylor into this and if she wins, she could be a Supreme Champion tonight.”

 

Knots: “Yeah, but some more big names. Kimberly Williams. We’ve seen her before. And Jerry! Jerry is back.”

 

Sharper: “Don’t start!”

 

Knots: “Former Underground Title contender!”

 

Ravyn heads to the ring. We cut back to the entrance way to see Sam Raine walk out from the back, wearing cut up jeans and a white short tube top. The crowd roars. Sam Raine looks around. She then smiles looking at the crowd. She turns to Ace who looks at her stunned before turning to Cassidy. Sam Raine then steps forward.

 

Cassidy: “Okay…okay…you can go.”

 

Sam Raine starts to make her way down the rampway as the crowd cheers too.

 

Sharper: “And Sam Raine now. She wants to see if she can get it done.”

 

Knots: “Hoping to finally win SCW Gold!”

 

Sam Raine heads down to the ring. We then cut to the entrance way to see Velociraptor Blue, what appears to be someone in a raptor costume, wearing a bra and panties, stagger out. He looks at Cassidy and Ace. Ace just laughs as Cassidy chuckles too.

 

Cassidy: “Done!”

 

Velociraptor roars to Ace and Cassidy before turning and starting to head to the ring, scurrying, if we can call it that. Just as he gets half way, we then see Dalek Street roll out from the back. The crowd roars.

 

Sharper: “Oh no.”

 

Knots: “The greatest murderous death robot in history!”

 

Dalek looks at Ace and Cassidy.

 

Dalek: “KENNEDY STREET IS MY WIFE!”

 

Cassidy: “Ah…damn. That’s a disqualifying factor. Being related to that wench is completely unsexy.”

 

Dalek just remains on the stage as the crowd boos.

 

Ace: “It’s true. Casual sex. Just fine…but permanent…that’s just….well, roll out of here!”

 

Dalek: “KENNEDY STREET IS MY WIFE!”

 

Ace walks over and kicks Dalek, causing it to fall down. The crowd boos as Ace backs up. Just then, it suddenly sparks and Ace backs up. He looks around. He looks at it before looking around before we then see a cat walked out, on a lead. The crowd cheers.

 

Sharper: “Oh no…”

 

Ace: “We finally have some pussy in this ring! Mr. Wuffles Jr.! Bless us with your greatness!”

 

Ace points to the ring. Mr. Wuffles starts to be lead forward before suddenly, we see a couple of officials running out from the back. Mr. Wuffles’ handler stops as Wuffles looks around before dropping down, sitting politely as we see Dean Black and another official talking to the handler.

 

Sharper: “Mr. Wuffles Jr….I don’t know if he’ll be allowed.”

 

Knots: “Well we had an ostrich ruin one person’s night. Now maybe Wuffles can’t show us his greatness.”

 

Ace and Cassidy glance back.

 

Cassidy: “Anyone else?”

 

Ace: “Come on out!”

 

Cassidy looks at the clipboard and turns to Ace saying something. Ace sighs. He walks forward towards the entrance before we see James Evans of all people running out from the back and nailing Ace with a hard right and then another before kicking him in the ribs. The crowd roars before booing. James Evans then clubs Ace in the back and then again. Cassidy turns to the microphone.

 

Cassidy: “Start it! Just start it!”

 

Cassidy backs off as James Evans clubs Ace again and Ace lifts him up and turns. Cassidy looks around as the crowd roars and the bell sounds. We then see the three officials on the floor and one in the ring. We then see Cassidy run over to James and Ace and shove both and both go off the stage and through two tables on the floor. The crowd roars as James and Ace roll over onto the floor. Cassidy looks around.

 

Sharper: “This match has started and immediately, James Evans and Ace Marshall fighting and Cassidy just sent them to the floor!”

 

Knots: “Someone should just go and pin them!”

 

Sharper: “I don’t know if people have noticed. This war has just begun!”

 

Knots: “So many people in the ring! And look at Torsten Voigt!”

 

Sharper: “Voigt and Gothfather doing damage in the ring and wait…”

 

Knots: “Jerry!”

 

Cage and Casey hold onto Jerry before Kimura kicks Cage in the ribs and then kicks Cassey before looking at Jerry. He then grabs him and turns and drop kicks the lawn gnome. It flips in the air and flies to the area by the stage. Wuffles meanwhile starts to be taken to the back as Lord Jaxx has run over to the Dalek and is flashing a random flashlight at it.

Sharper: “You have people running after Jerry. I don’t know if some have noticed that James Evans and Ace Marshall have gone down by the stage. We have Gothfather and Voigt just dominating the ring right now.”

We go to a fully screen briefly as we see Giovanni Aries nailing Kandis and then Ryan Watson for good measure before trying to push his way past some individuals.

We then see the camera turn to show Aries is going right for The Rabbit. Velociraptor Blue meanwhile is actually taking cheap shots on Aaron Blackbourne as Raynes kicks at him in the ribs. In the ring, The Box looks around before turning and noticing the Gothfather. He just smiles as Box then turns and runs into the ropes, the box bouncing back and forth.

Ravyn turns back as Selena starts to get up and Selena jumps up with a sudden dropkick. Ravyn rolls over and starts to get up. Ravyn holds her jaw before rolling over and reaching into her bra. She starts to pull something up before starting to get up. Selena gets up and grabs at Ravyn before Giovanni Aries climbs up to the top rope and with both just barely bent over, Aries dives off and hits the Down the Rabbit Hole on both Selena and Ravyn. The crowd erupts, jumping to their feet in awe.

 

Sharper: “Giovanni Aries! Down the Rabbit Hole on both Ravyn and Selena! A boot for both!”

 

Knots: “Oh my God!’

 

Sharper: “And he’s covering both!”

 

Aries throws himself on top of both as they roll over. We then notice Ravyn had a chain in her hand.

Sharper: “And we’re down to three!”

 

Ravyn Taylor and Selena roll over before Giovanni Aries Ace kicks Howell, knocking him down before Ace runs over and nails Giovanni Aries from behind. Cassidy smacks the mat on the apron, trying to will Ace on. Ace nails Giovanni with another hard right and then another. He then pushes Aries into the ropes and whips him across. Giovanni bounces off and Ace hits a back elbow. Giovanni starts to get up and Ace turns and grabs him and pulls him up before double underhooking him. The crowd roars. Aries however struggles out of it and back drops Ace down. Ace rolls over and gets up. He turns around and Aries pulls him down by the legs before hoisting his legs up. The crowd roars. He then starts to spin around as the crowd cheers. Ace tries to grab at the ropes. Cassidy goes to enter, before starting and backing up, dodging Ace’s errant hand as Aries swings Ace around and around for the Peyote Experience.

 

Sharper: “Around and around. Aries expending a lot of energy to give Ace an discombobulating experience!”

 

Knots: “Cassidy was going to save him and just bailed. She wants nothing of that.”

 

Aries swings him around and around before throwing him down. The crowd cheers and Aries staggers bit before suddenly Dylan Howell grabs him from behind. He hits a German suplex. Howell swivels his hips and Aries tries to grab at the ropes before Howell pulls him up and hits a second German suplex. The crowd roars.

Sharper: “Dylan Howell has just eliminated the Adrenaline Champion! We will have a new champion!”

 

Knots: “And it could be Giovanni’s newest enemy in Ace Marshall or Dylan Howell could finally get Addy!”

 

Sharper: “Look at Howell. He’s as focused as I think we’ve seen him in years!”

 

Ace starts to pull himself up and Dylan Howell waits as Ace staggers up and turns and smiles seeing Aries. Cassidy yells at Ace.

 

Cassidy: “Come on! It’s only Dylan!”

 

Ace laughs a bit before Dylan suddenly lunges and kicks him in the ribs. He kicks him again and again and again. Ace covers up and Dylan pulls him in and hits the Undo Influence. Cassidy throws her arms up. Dylan exits to the apron and then climbs up to the top rope. The crowd roars. Dylan Howell looks around, clearly getting excited.

 

Dylan: “Addy! I’m coming!”

 

Dylan goes to steady himself, but Cassidy jumps up and grabs his boot. Dylan turns and tries to shake her off. Cassidy however holds on and just then, Cassidy nails him in the ribs with a shot. Dylan winces. Ace starts to get up and Ace staggers over.

 

Sharper: “Cassidy finally getting involved. And right when it matters most!”

 

Knots: “That’s why she’s his brain! I guess…or something.”

 

Sharper: “Dylan so close, but Ace back up. This could be it!”

 

Ace then grabs Dylan and nails him again. He then starts to climb up and pushes Dylan up to a seated position. He steps up and just then, Dylan moves his foot, kicking out Ace’s leg as he climbs up to the top rope. The boot catches Cassidy in the eye and she falls back. The crowd roars as Ace struggles to stay on top, grabbing Dylan. Dylan then nails him in the ribs before shoving him back. Dylan then stands up as Ace hits the mat.

The crowd cheers some more. Aaron Demitra, senior official, grabs the SCW Adrenaline Championship and turns back to the ring. He walks over to Dylan Howell and extends it to him. Dylan Howell then grabs it and immediately embraces it. The crowd cheers. We cut to the stage to see Giovanni Aries glaring at the ring as he looks down. Ace Marshall is still down in the ring as Cassidy Carter can be seen just looking at Dylan, saying “Him?!” repeatedly, in disbelief.

 

Knots: “I don’t effin’ believe it.”

 

Sharper: “Dylan Howell is the Adrenaline Champion! He is the Adrenaline Champion! He and Addy have come together…and legitimately, Dylan Howell is the Adrenaline Champion!”

 

Knots: “Giovanni Aries pissed off. The Lizard King I guess succeeded. Does this mean Howell is working for him?”

 

Sharper: “I don’t even want to figure that out, but Dylan Howell, after years of wanting to hold that title, he’s done it here to close out 2017!”

 

Knots: “A better love story than Twilight…just sayin’.”

 

The crowd continues to cheer as Dylan Howell starts to get up and we see Derek Adonis, Manvel, Cookie and Ikiro Yoshida running down from the back. Dylan Howell continues to hold the SCW Adrenaline Championship, starting to even dance around the ring with it, in his Mankini. The members of Golden Triangle enter the ring and immediately start to celebrate with him. The crowd cheers as Dylan Howell can be seen even crying.

 

Sharper: “Along with the Adrenaline Championship, he’s won that new Mercedes and $250 000 dollars.”

 

Knots: “I don’t know if he knows or cares. He’s got Addy!”

 

Sharper: “That may be true.”

 

We cut to the Mercedes by the stage briefly before we go back to see Dylan Howell continue to celebrate with his allies as we cut away.

We open up with a shot of Bree Lancaster making her entrance on Breakdown, before showing Marie Jones in the ring, followed by Alistaire Allocco doing stretches, Ace Marshall and Cassidy Carter walking to the ring and finally Christy Matthews posing in the crowd.

 

“What is going to happen when Breakdown returns to start in the new year? The Contendership Series continues as the winners from the final Breakdown clash as the losers do as well, but what’s the catch?”

 

We then see a shot of Lexi von Aaron and Chad Evans as Lexi laughs and Chad Evans stoically walks off from the ring. We see Kennedy Street yelling at the camera.

 

Kennedy: “You’re God’s Gift too….well come on and prove it. I’ll give you a match with me right here, right now! Come on!”

The Breakdown logo comes up on the screen.

 

“All this and more when Breakdown returns, THIS Wednesday, live. Check your local listings!”

 

The scene fades to black.

We cut to the podium to see Shawn Winters looking around.

 

Shawn: “Well Dylan Howell was quite the happy guy. Didn’t even grab the cheque or check out the car? Guess he really wanted to be alone with Addy!”

 

The crowd cheers some as Shawn turns to the crowd.

 

Shawn: “It is time for our last wrestler award. The Male Wrestler of 2017. A lot of interesting options and some people who had strong years and poised for great things. So…without further ado…”

 

Shawn turns as Paris hands him the envelope. Shawn takes it and opens up the envelope, sliding out the card.

 

Shawn: “Well how about that….your Male Wrestler of 2017…Ace Marshall! And Ace Marshall, Cassidy Carter and Alistaire Allocco also won the Stable of the year as well!”

 

The crowd boos as “Adrenaline” starts to play. Shawn backs up. A few moments pass as his music plays. We then see not Ace Marshall or Cassidy Carter or even Alistaire Allocco. Instead, Thirteen walks out from the back. The crowd roars. Shawn turns to him.

 

Shawn: “This isn’t for you.”

 

Thirteen steps over and looks right at Shawn before motioning for the award. Paris reluctantly hands it to him. Thirteen grabs it and turns to Shawn.

 

Thirteen: “If he cares about this at all, which I doubt he does, but I suggest he start taking things seriously. Just look at what happened. Making enemies every day…and I’m one of them. He wants this. After I test Kayla Jones, I will be ready to speak with him and he can convince me he deserves this, no matter what the record books say.”

 

Thirteen then takes it and backs off. The crowd buzzes. Shawn Winters watches Thirteen leave as the scene fades to black.

The SCW End of the Year Special Awards logo comes up on the screen. A female voice can be heard.

Regan rolls off and turns. The crowd boos. We see Selena and Regan now starting to fight in the rampway before getting to the stage. The referees try to pull them apart as Starr remains in the ring.

 

Sharper: “Our officials trying to separate Selena Frost and Regan Street. These two hate each other and are happily continuing to scrap with one another. Add that Hudson, who has been a calming influence for much of the last couple of weeks, he’s in the hospital!”

 

Knots: “You know what. I’ll fix this!”

Knots: “Oh God…”

 

We see Dean Black enter with scissors to cut the title off before Aries grabs them to ge the title before he starts to hold the Adrenaline Title. We see Starr down, hurt, bleeding, as Alistaire talks to the referee.

 

Sharper: “Meanwhile, Alistaire Allocco hasn’t even started to fight. He keeps pointing at the face of Starr. I think he wants him bandaged up!”

 

Alistaire: “He should be bandaged! This is civil competition after all!”

 

Starr: “Come on you son of a bitch. Come at me.”

The scene slowly fades to black…

 

“The SCW Match of 2017….Jake Starr’s Chamber Challenge – Breakdown, November 22, 2017.”

 

The End of the Year Special logo comes up on the screen.

Kelcey Wallace vs. Blake Mason

 

Sharper: “Main Event time and we are about to see the end of one of the greats in the SCW the last five years, a storied career and only at 29 years old, saying goodbye to her in-ring career, Kelcey Wallace, The Perfect 10.”


Knots: “She is one of the best, no question about that and fitting, she wrestles Blake Mason in her final match to end 2017 and her career.”

Sharper: “Let’s watch The Perfect Ten compete…. One last time.”

“When Money Comes, When Money Comes”

The lights go out as “G.O.A.T.” by CFO$ featuring Will Roush starts to play. The crowd boos. A spotlight shines down on the stage as we see Blake Mason walk out from the back wearing a bejewelled robe. He looks around, smiling as he looks around, posing on the top of the stage. A woman then walks out from the back. They head to the ring.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for one fall and it is the Main Event of the evening! Introducing first, from Boston, Massachusetts, weighing in at 230 lbs…. he is The BME…… Blake Mason!

Blake Mason walks arm and arm with his mystery escort down to the ring. The escort runs up the steel steps and holds the ropes open for Blake as he walks up the steel steps. Blake Mason walks up the steel steps and steps into the ring. He looks around and smiles before walking to the middle of the ring and undoing his robe. The escort walks over and slides the robe off. Blake just smiles. He turns to the escort, hands the robe to her. She walks over to the ropes, Blake cuts in front of her so he can open the rope so she can make her exit. As she walks down the steel ropes with robe in toe, Blake leans against the turnbuckle looking all smug. He remains there until the match starts.

Sharper: “Blake Mason and Kelcey Wallace is personal. We all remember Retribution and everything leading up to that. We heard what Wallace said, there is a reason this is the last match, it’s about closure.”


Knots: “Well, Blake Mason we all know for weeks has been teasing about he leaving as well, he’s not retiring, for Kelcey, we may see a different Wallace tonight, only thing is this, is she physically capable, we saw her lose the last two matches, is that a sign?”

Sharper: “We’re about to find out.”

The lights in the arena go out. Suddenly a lone spotlight is in the entrance way as a man wearing all grey suit with a white shirt walks out and looks out into the crowd with a microphone in hand. He is "The Perfect Mind" Shawn Mason.

Shawn: “Ladies and Gentlemen, I proudly present to you from Newport, South Wales, weighing 8 ½ Stones……”THE PERFECT “10”….KELCEY WALLACE!”

The trumpets sound as the chorus for “Exodus” by Ernest Gold & Henry Mancini begins to as the crowd roars. Suddenly Kelcey Wallace rises from the floor standing on a stone pillar covered in a gorgeous white and gold cape with a hood, looking down and on one knee until the pillar completely rises to the top that is where she stands up and lifts her head….

Spreading her arms and unhooding herself revealing her perfect face with makeup and her hair slicked back in a ponytail, the camera flashes light up the arena when she then then drops her cape showing off her Perfect physique in new white and gold trim vinyl short tights with the cut off top and only her right arm sleeved, knee pads and boots with shin guards and “Perfection” written on her buttocks. She poses for a few moments while the crowd cheers, slowly she steps off the pillar with the help of Shawn Mason and stands in front of the four mirrors admiring her Perfection…

After a few moments, she is then lead to the ring by Shawn Mason as Kelcey slowly walks down to the ring looking at the fans and then focusing back to the ring at Blake. She walks around ringside where Chris Cannon is standing along with his son Christian. She kisses both and walks back to the ring where she hugs Shaun Cruze where he sits watching as well with his wife Angyalka. Shawn gets on the apron and holds the ropes open for her as Kelcey steps in then holds them open for Shawn as he follows...

Kelcey climbs the turnbuckles and raises her arms as fireworks rain down from the rafters like a curtain of lights. Shawn claps and watches on; she looks on nods and again poses for the fans and the arena whole the camera flashes are blinding. Shawn claps the entire time until she drops down. Shawn and her talk a second and he leaves to go outside to her corner as Kelcey lifts her knee pads up over her knees and stretches in the ring ….

Sometimes turning around as Shawn talks strategy prepping Kelcey for the match in hand by keeping focus as they listen for the referee to call for the bell…..

Waiting for the match to begin…..

Sharper: “Chris Cannon sitting at ringside along with his son Christian, so is Shaun Cruze and his lovely wife, Angyalka, we have had a tremendous night of action and it all comes down to this. The end, the final match and how fitting if she were to beat Blake Mason after he took a victory from her thanks to a mishap.”

Knots: “Mishap or not, that changed Kelcey Wallace, she went on to win the World Championship, but you can tell that it indeed affects her. Blake though Sharper already started playing the mind games. You know Blake, he has a trick up his sleeve.”

Kelcey readies herself, stretching, looking out at the crowd and soaking up these moments as Blake looks on across the corner. He smirks a bit waiting for the referee to call for the start of the match. The crowd roars as Shawn claps, the referee calls for the bell as Kelcey circles the ring, Blake extends his hand for a shake, she looks down at it, then back at Blake, looking out at the fans as they scream no. Kelcey for a second, thinks about it then goes to shake but instead brings Blake in and forearms him a few times as the crowd roars. She backs him up to the ropes and whips him across the ring but Blake quickly reverses and delivers a back drop but Kelcey lands on her feet, he turns for Kelcey to kick him in the stomach buckling him over, she runs against the ropes and goes quickly for the Perfect Fate but Blake jerks back and falls to the mat, rolling out of the ring….

Kelcey smirks and shows her fingers stating… “This close”. Blake walks around for a bit as the referee starts to make the count but Kelcey stops the ref and shakes her head, instead she sits on the ropes and opens them for Blake to get back in the ring. He nods and steps back in. Kelcey circles the ring again as Blake and her lock up, she drops to one knee to get leverage, turning behind Blake and driving her foot into the back of his leg dropping him to one knee, quickly flipping over Blake and snapmaring him, kicking him stiffly in the back as he yells in pain, she runs to the ropes and dropkicks Blake on the chest as he falls on his back, Kelcey then hits three leg drops in a row before going for the cover….

Blake Kicks Out!

Kelcey gets to her feet and waits until Blake gets to his feet but instead he crawls to the corner and asks for a minute to regroup. Kelcey walks up to him and talks to the referee taking her eye off him for a second as he grabs her tights and pulls her in ramming her face into the turnbuckle, she stumbles back and Blake delivers a Russian Leg Sweep floating over on top of Kelcey for the pin….

He rolls out of the ring again but Kelcey grabs his leg and starts trying to pull him back in, he holds on to the ropes as the referee starts to count but before he does, Blake kicks Kelcey off, she stumbles and gets back to her feet being met with a thunderous clothesline by Blake Mason turning her upside down as the crowd oh’s. Blake stands up and leans against the ropes looking down at the fallen Kelcey who stirs on the mat, he looks out at Chris Cannon and Shawn Mason, shaking his head….

Sharper: “A great match so far, a lot of back and forth but Blake nearly took Kelcey’s head off with that clothesline. Everyone in the SCW watching this match and Blake just looked at Chris Cannon and Shawn Mason, almost taunting them?”

Knots: “That or feeling sorry for doing what he did to Kelcey. Everyone knows that Bree dumped him because he was always infatuated with Kelcey, Sharper.”

Sharper: “She’s not whiny and annoying.”

Knots: “She’s classy, take it back!”

Blake walks around Kelcey as she tries to get up, Blake sits her up paces a minute before kicking Kelcey as hard as he can to her upper back. Kelcey screams in pain as Blake shakes his head and runs against the ropes hitting a Shining Wizard on Kelcey. She lays motionless as he drops on top of her for the pin….

Blake turns and grabs Kelcey, he pulls her in and locks in a figure four leg lock, Kelcey screams in pain as Blake sits up adding more pressure. The fans cheer “10! 10! 10!” as Kelcey drops to the mat and tries to fight the pain, her shoulders are down as the referee makes the count…

Kelcey Sits Up!

Kelcey tries to get to the ropes, Blake screams for her to quit….

Sharper: “It seems to me like Blake wants to end this quick. He keeps telling Kelcey to quit or stay down. She is in a lot of trouble right now and how much more can she take? Kelcey knows this is her last match, we saw the disappointment in her last Breakdown, she will allow Blake to break her leg before she taps.”

Knots: “I agree but Blake wants to end this why? He doesn’t want to hurt her? Nah, I heard he has his yacht ready to sail the seas and has breakfast already reserved in Bermuda tomorrow. He probably wants to take Kelcey with him, she has been on that yacht a few times, maybe this time she will be conscious.”

Sharper: “You’re terrible.”

Kelcey tries to reach the ropes, she starts to pull Blake but finds it hard. He continues to scream at her to quit and she just flips him the bird as the crowd roars. Instead, Kelcey starts to turn to her side, Blake shakes his head and tries to stay grounded, but she slowly starts turning the figure four leg lock over. Blake tries to fight it, but she finally does and Blake screams in pain, the referee asks him but he quickly breaks the hold. Kelcey holds her leg, using the ropes to slowly help herself up.

Meanwhile the camera cuts to the back locker room where many of the wrestlers in the locker room are watching the match on monitors. It shows Taylor Chase standing next to Bree Lancaster, Sienna Swann, Regan and Mikaela Street. Others show Donovan Kayl, Amy Chastaine, Selena Frost and Kennedy Street. Back to the ring, Kelcey starts to stir, Blake picks her up by the hair, frustrated, he puts her head between his legs as the crowd starts to boo….

Sharper: “Oh come on damn it, Blake not like this! He wants to piledrive her and send Kelce y to the hospital on her last night like he did Sienna Swann a year ago! Don’t do it!”

Knots: “He can’t pin her, he wants to end this now! Look at Cannon and Cruze!”

Chris Cannon is ready to jump the barricade as is Shaun Cruze. Kelcey tries to wiggle free, Blake is about to hoist her up, but he doesn’t.

The crowd boos as Kelcey lies motionless…..

Knots: “He hit the BME and Kelcey ends her career a loser to Blake!”

Kelcey looks shocked, again turning to the referee and holding up three fingers but he shakes it off and holds up two fingers. Kelcey backs up some, she takes a breather, running her fingers through her hair now. Shawn Mason is talking to her, she nods, clearly in pain and exhausted. Blake is slowly starting to stir. He turns to his side and starts to get up, Kelcey helps herself up by the ropes, she stomps her foot looking as if she is ready to charge at him….

The crowd roars. Shawn Mason slams the mat, Chris and Shaun cheer, the wrestlers watching in the back some cheer, others watch intently. Kelcey helps herself up, barely able to stand and walks to the other side of the ring, she waits for Blake Mason to get back up signaling at her open hand….

Sharper: “Blake Mason was caught right in the face! He is down, and I don’t even think he knows where he is at! Kelcey is hinting for the Perfect Ending! Will we see it!? This could be it Jon!”

Knots: “She can barely stand! Can she even get the force to execute this!? Blake is out of it!”

The bell sounds as Kelcey lets go of Blake’s leg and rolls off lying on her back, staring up at the lights, covering her face as the referee raises her hand in victory. The arena erupts as Chris Cannon and Christian hug each other. Shaun Cruze and Angyalka jump up and down, in the back Kelcey and Selena hug each other as others look on, Sienna claps in a show of respect as does Bree…..

Phillips: “Here is your winner, via pinfall, Kelcey Wallace!”

She slowly sits up, tears in her eyes, hurt and exhausted, the crowd cheers on. Shawn Mason slides in and hugs her…..

Sharper: “She did it, in her final match she defeated Blake mason and it must feel really good! These two had so much history that is documented, what happened at Retribution, it all culminated into this and Kelcey Wallace strikes last! Give it to Blake though, he fought a hell of a match!”

Knots: “His mistake is he wanted to end it quick, Kelcey was ready for the challenge and she came out the winner, it was an incredible match to an a Perfect career, Sharper!”

Sharper: “That was very nice of you Jon.”

Knots: “Don’t get used to it, besides, soon she will be family.”

Sharper: “I thought so.”

Kelcey is helped up by Shawn Mason as Chris Cannon jumps the barrier, he helps Christian, Shaun Cruze also slide into the ring to help her up, Blake starts to stir and slowly sit up as the referee checks on him. Kelcey hugs Chris, Shaun, Christian, they make sure she is okay before Blake gets on his feet, he starts to make his way out of the ring when Kelcey grabs his arm much to the surprise of everyone in the ring. He stands there for a moment as they stare each other down, he can barely stand. After a few tense moments she extends her hand…..

Blake with tears in his eyes nods and shakes her hand as she pulls him in and whispers a few things in his ear. He nods and as they separate, he lifts her arm in victory as the crowd roars…..


Sharper: “I don’t know what Kelcey said to Blake but this is why she is loved, that woman is not just Perfection, she is all class.”

Knots: “Hey now….. Bree…..”

Sharper: “Oh stop it, this is her moment! After everything that Blake Mason has put her through, she shook his hand, said something to him and now they leave on good terms, the mark of a champion.”

Kelcey watches Blake roll out of the ring, Kennedy, Selena, Donovan Kayl, Simon Lyman, Amy Chastaine and a few others walk out, they get into the ring and start to celebrate with Kelcey, hugging and congratulating her. The Perfect Ten is overjoyed, who asks for a mic….

Sharper: “It looks like Kelcey has something to say.”

Knots: “She’s going to tell Blake he’s an ass!”

She clears her throat as the arena gets quiet….

Kelcey: “I knew coming into this night that it was going to be a fight. It wasn’t going to be pretty but what made it all worth it was you out there. I’m never going to forget any of you, the cheers, the boos, the support you have shown me throughout the years is like no other. The people in this ring, those in the back that are watching, every single wrestler that had a stake in my career whether friend or foe…. THANK YOU. The SCW is the absolute best and they are ready to take 2018 by storm with those standing here with me and the talented men and women in the back ready to take the next step in their quest to be the World Champion. I couldn’t ask for anything else, this was the Perfect Ending I always wanted. Remember that every single one of you can reach Perfection, it is that moment that you can smile at your life and know that you made it!”

The crowd cheers, the wrestlers all clap while Kelcey nods. Blake stands on the rampway listening to her speech…..

Kelcey: “Tonight was going to be hard emotionally because I love this sport. Mr. D., please come out here for a second…..”

After a few moments Mr. D walks out and stands in the rampway…..

Kelcey: “Thank you for making my dreams come true. Thank you for being a father figure to me and thank you for running the greatest wrestling promotion the world has ever seen!”

The crowd erupts in cheers. Mr. D smiles and nods. Kelcey turns to the fans and stands on the second turnbuckle……

Kelcey: “And now I leave you in the great hands of the talent in the SCW. Stay true! Stay positive and damn it… Stay Perfect!”

She flings the mic as the crowd cheers. “Exodus starts to play throughout the arena as the fans chant “Thank You Kelcey” CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP….. “Thank You Kelcey” ……

She drops down and receives a bunch of hugs and embraces….

Sharper: “Ladies and Gentlemen, Kelcey Wallace has wrestled her final match, what a career, taking a lot of ridicule for her beliefs but never wavered. Whether you loved or hated her, you always respected what she could do in the ring. She broke barriers, was the first woman to win Taking Hold of the Flame, was a Main Event wrestler with three World Championships and most of all…. A perfect ten.”

Knots: “I have praised her and I have insulted her but one thing I never did was doubt her. There was a time when she struck back at us but in the end the true Kelcey Wallace came out. It won’t be the same in SCW without her that is for sure….”


Sharper and Knots both stand up and clap as does the rest of the arena when Shaun and Chris both hoist her up on their shoulders…..

Sharper: “Thank you for the Memories Kelcey….. they were perfect.”

Knots: “2017 ends and what a great year it was for us Sharper, I think 2018 is going to be even better!”

Sharper: “I think so too. For Jonathan Knots, this is Adam Sharper, thank you for another year of SCW, Happy New Year and we will see you on Breakdown in 2018!”

The continue to clap as Kelcey with tears in her eyes blows kisses with both of her hands to the fans before raising her arms one last time…..
