[Thomas Valentine]

OOC: First one back in a few years. If anyone has any feedback, be gentle lol. Good luck all!

I expected boos…

I expected jeers…

I expected protests…

I even expected there would be that one poindexter that would whoop and wail from the rooftops about me showing my face again in ANY ring, let alone an SCW one… Who would claim they believed I should be given the Ol’ Yeller treatment and taken behind the woodshed to ultimately be turned into glue.

(I smirk and then shrug before applauding)

Ladies, gentlemen and creatures of the night…

You truly outdid yourselves this time after watching the reruns of the return that NOBODY saw coming…

Then I watched them again… Again… And again just to marvel at how good my wife’s ass looks on television before remembering why I was watching them in the first place. Somehow I actually managed to drag my attention from Kandis’ perfectly sculpted body for long enough for the mother of all epiphanies to hit me square between the eyes.

(Shaking my head slightly, I take a deep breath)

Perhaps I underestimated you all.

(I smirk and hold my hands up)

Yeah, yeah I know; even I make mistakes, so all the Selena Frost fans can feel a little better that a juggernaut of my stature gets things wrong occasionally too! Not as often as the Clown Queen Of Hypocrisy… But let’s be real here, it would take a HELL of a lot to top such an achievement, the likes of which hasn’t been seen in Supreme Championship Wrestling for a LONG time. So yeah, y’all should sleep easy with that knowledge.

(Winking in an almost conspirational fashion, I take another deep breath and sigh)

Now I could stand here and take needless if not rather amusing potshots at the chaff that has gathered in my company both before and after I had to leave you all… But I scheduled this time for multiple reasons and refuse to waste time crying over spilt milk for little other than venting reasons. Instead, I’m going to be straight with each and every one of you right now. I wasn’t going to come back…

(Gritting my teeth at the prospect of me finally admitting this not just to myself but to hundreds and thousands of people around the world… Including my wife that I vowed to keep no secrets from since the day that she said ‘yes’ to me… A vow I had varied success in keeping my word on, but I digress)

Yeah, yeah… I’d be utterly livid and devastated at that prospect too if I was in your collective shoes… But in seriousness, one legitimate injury led to another one, which led to a few more and I had to start thinking about my own mortality and so that’s when a little doubt set in. Clown Queen eking out a victory against me in what was billed as my last official match in SCW unintentionally, tipped me over the edge though and aggravated one of many lingering injuries I had… multiple ligaments torn almost clean from the bone after I inadvertently put it all on the line for the cattle around the world that I felt had shunned me over more conventional ‘heroes’ that I felt emulated the likes of David Helms… Jake Starr… Shaun Cruze… Aaron Rupp and the list could go on with the people that walked so the ungrateful peons on the roster of SCW could run. Not gonna lie, this stuck so much in my craw that I spiralled downwards badly… To the point that I felt there was only one solution to try and open people’s eyes. I scrubbed as many of their heroes from the canvas one by one… I made a deal with an enemy just so I could achieve this aim and yet it made very little difference, I still felt that Kandis and I were disrespected… That whatever we did, we were always overlooked and not taken in the least bit seriously… So I did the only thing I could think of at the time, something I’m not proud of.

(I buried my head in my hands for a second or two)

I mentally threw in the towel.

Even after I recovered from potentially career ending injuries, I kept up the pretence of being injured, faked hospital appointments and therapy sessions so that my nearest and dearest wouldn’t smell a rat… And then my misguided deception snowballed from being weeks to truly rehabilitate… To months and then finally to years. I figured that I could leave SCW to stagnate in it’s own filth and wash my hands of it. Let it be someone else's problem! I mean as far as I was concerned, I’d got my legacy to be satisfied with. I achieved my lifelong dream of becoming an SCW Hall Of Famer and as much as people could mock me, they couldn’t take away an achievement that hardly any of them could even dream of, let alone manage to attain. So I faded into the background and left Kandis to carry the torch for both of us, and seeing her become the World Champion after exorcising all of her own demons; I couldn’t help but feel like I made the right decision… The mind-blowing sex with the World Title around her waist didn’t hurt either… But then my son Jacob changed all of it. He came home with cuts and bruises after getting in a fight over him defending Kandis’ honour against some dumb kids chatting shit about her reputation, something I got the feeling was learned behaviour from parents that didn’t know how to raise their kids with respect. He asked me why bad things happen to people trying to do the right thing and suddenly I was hit with a massive wave of shame, mixed with guilt. I spent a massive chunk of my career doing what I believed was right and then just gave up… So how could I even begin to give him advice on such a matter?

(I ran a hand through my hair and tried to maintain my composure… Managing only after clenching my fists tightly to the point I could feel my nails digging into the flesh of my palm)

That was probably my lightbulb moment, so in a roundabout way I have my son to thank for illuminating the dark I’d been stumbling around in for the past few years… So if you’re watching this Jacob, ignore your dad’s cursing past, present and future in this promotion… And thank you for making me realise what I should have figured out a long time ago. I thought I was happy with the legacy I had created through blood, sweat and lots of tears… A legacy that has included marrying the most beautiful woman in the world, having three children that form the foundations of my world, and more wrestling accolades than you could shake a stick at! But until I saw my son in floods of tears, beaten up for doing the right thing; it never occurred to me that what I ultimately ran away from was my own doubts and fears. Because at the end of the day it showed me one thing.

(I sighed and looked at the camera with a triumphant smirk)

Supreme Championship Wrestling isn’t merely a part of my legacy…

It IS my legacy!

I didn’t carry the company on my shoulders in one way or another, fought for and against it, struck up some of the most influential partnerships and straight up relationships that I’ve ever made… All to watch it crumble like a cowardly fuckwit! And coincidentally that was around the time I saw something on television which cemented my convictions and got the cogs whirring in my head. A vital part of this legacy was being tainted by the weak… The greedy… The lack of devotion and belief. The tag division had become a joke whilst I was away, and that immediately didn’t sit right with me. So I chose to do something about it and have a bit of fun whilst doing it. Kandis planted the thought of us coming back to right the ship… And I figured that we could have some more fun with it like only the Connection could. Did you all enjoy the mental gymnastics we put you through with our cryptic clues by the way? It was hilarious watching you all scratch your heads en masse, I know that much… All the mistrust and confusion we sowed amongst the roster brought the biggest smile to my face, and I can safely say that my wife had the exact same reaction!

(I chuckled to myself at the memory)

Many of you probably had forgotten about the greatest tag team of SCW’s modern era… Hell, many of you probably didn’t know who we were! But all it took was one reveal and we tipped the tag division, OUR division on it’s head after clearing house and looking pretty damn great whilst doing it. In one night we returned to put on the crowns that are too heavy for the majority of you pissant pretenders to even comprehend, with all your bravado and bluster… And to protect our legacy that was on life support until our music hit and we resuscitated it in the nick of time. To everyone involved… How did it feel to be kicked back to the bottom of the mountain where you belong? I bet it hurt, right? You were all squabbling amongst each other and playing hot potato with belts that deserve better, and so if you think about it, we did you all a favour by intervening before you embarrassed yourselves AND us all at the same time. It felt good to be back where we belonged, the roar of the crowds that had had to suffer through years of mediocrity and finally had a glimmer of hope once more when all felt lost. Kandis and I just hope that you guys take this shit seriously now that the measuring stick to tag team wrestling is standing proud, and to all you little people that had to tumble in order for us to rise once again… For us to make our intent known that soon enough the thrones in our kingdom will be occupied once more by a team that makes those tag straps and the division relevant instead of an afterthought or time for a toilet break that it has been for so long! Who would have thought that it was going to take a dinosaur coming back from the edge of extinction, and a slut that has had more men than hot dinners; to put eyes back on the division eh? It was definitely not on my Bingo Card Of Life, I know that much!

(Chuckling, I shake my head)

But I’m good to go now, and though I have a tiny bit of ring rust, I’m sure that when I’m placed under the gun so to speak, it’ll be like muscle memory… And I mean it’s not as if any of the teams that could possibly be thrown at us are terrible per se… I think they just need a little bit of a nudge in ways of not back-flipping before they can barely crawl…I mean come on, how many times can the same old tropes about my wife be brought up before we want to bash our heads against a wall? Comments along those lines reek of amateur hour, let’s be honest… But I suppose in a way, at least with regards to tenure, that’s exactly what we’re going to be dealing with, whoever wins the vote to face us… Though it’s always nice to know that some kids have taste… and that they turn into men with at least some of that taste still intact. Here’s looking at you Alex… Hi!

(I wave to the camera)

I suppose that in many ways you’re the brains of the outfit and that knuckle dragging Neanderthal that ironically talks about any form of nonsensical speech is the brawn; given what happened when he flapped his gums, huh? So I’m your idol of sorts huh? Or in fact I WAS your idol, more accurately. I’m flattered that your dad’s simplistic thought processes only started hitting you around the time that puberty hit you and removed any doubt in my mind that to folk like you, common sense is indeed not common.

(Scoffing, I shake my head)

It’s funny in a way… That you and Isaac are indeed the “Product”, But unfortunately for Kandis and I… You’re a product of a generation that thinks mimicry of tired and boring buzz words about me is an acceptable substitute for independent thought… Something that you both obviously lack, which is cool as you’re effectively babies in this industry and so perhaps it comes down to the adults around here to inject some originality to the proceedings. Did you think of the ‘insult’ about my career trajectory going downwards after losing the World Title that I’ve held one more time than both you and Isaac combined by the way; by yourself or do you have Shilo Valiant hidden away somewhere writing your material for you, huh? Sorry, you’re probably a little too green around the gills to appreciate that joke, but trust me, if you had been around a while; that gag would have at least been hilarious for you. It’s funny though with the fact that you claim to be an ‘idol’ of mime yet it was almost like you were little more than a sheep that is more than fine with bleating along with the rest of the herd, spouting shit that many have spewed forth before you and many will regurgitate well after you fade from view like so many others that are a flash in the pan.

(Shrugging, I can’t help but admire the kids cajones for actually coming out and saying something like that about me in spite of hardly being a blip on my radar until now)

You should worry less about how me and my WIFE met, and how much your underestimation will cost you in this match Alex. You seem like you’re a bright kid… And at least with the pedigree you have, Kandis and I aren’t going to be disappointed when we get in that ring… But as your idol I ask you to do one thing… Leave all of the thinking to the Connection, yeah? As clearly it isn’t your strong point given that you seem to think that what you and Isaac feel about wrestling is even a percentage near what it takes to even be in the same conversation as us… Taking Kandis away from the equation for a second, you jabbered on about how I’m a shell of my former self, blah blah blah… But did you forget about the fact that any partner I chose, no matter how lacklustre they might have been, I’ve dragged their asses to gold? I mean Jake Starr choked in his little challenge to the roster with his Trios contract… Yeah, something else before your time that you’ve overlooked junior by the way… And yet we became Tag Champions simply because of my Midas touch? Do you see how easy it is to pick and choose which information you take on board there kid? I dig the fact that you’re wanting to make a name off the best tag team in the world… No… That you and Isaac are wanting to make your collective name off of Thomas Valentine and his legacy, but if there’s one thing I can’t allow is for you to make the same mistakes I’ve made in the past; Alex.

(Pressing my lips together I shake my head once again)

]The hunger in my very being has been put into question more times than you’ll ever know… And better men than ‘The Product’ have made the same empty and asinine promises to take advantage of my alleged lack of passion I promise you… But let it be known that as many witty and edgy comments you make surrounding putting me out to pasture… Superior athletes have had a zero success rate as my lack of passion for this business… No, this company has been vastly exaggerated. You see… What you don’t realise is that you’re in way over your head and the gutsy little display of arrogance and narcissism is going to be your undoing… And that goes for any of the teams that may be put in our way. Because I’ll give you a spoiler Huddie Junior… Whether you and the caveman triumph and get the golden ticket to face the Connection… Or whether we have to take on two deluded ‘Hollywood’ washouts… Or even if we have to give out a continental ass whooping to the European Fiery Nation and show our global dominance once again, you’ll all share one thing in common.

Just like when Josh Hudson got ideas above his station when he was facing a big mouthed upstart from North Carolina… And when countless teams thought they were on the Connection’s level… You’ll fight tooth and claw… You’ll put on a good showing, but in the end you’ll meet the same fate as Alex’s daddy…

You’ll try…

And you’ll choke

[Kandis.]

OOC: I really really really wanted to do better than this, but y'all know my week. We'll do it better next time.
I did not read Ash's post before doing this, I didn't have time. Any contradictions or repetitiveness is on me.

-----------------



Well, well, well…. Betcha didn’t expect that at Retribution, did ya?

Kandis smirks into the camera. She’s sitting on the apron of an Ante Up training ring, a familiar sight for Kandis fans, yet one not seen in quite some time.

I mean, usually ‘indefinite suspension’ ends with a quiet contract release and a pat on the head sending you along to future endeavors. But…. Not for this bitch. Nah, SCW can’t get rid of me that easily…. Or that quietly. I mean come on, did you really think I would just fade away and never be heard from again?

Hi, have you met me?

Of course you have. I’m the loudest, brashiest… and you know I have to say hottest, woman SCW has ever seen. I’ve been a World Champion. I’m a four time Tag Team Champion. And I know y’all know better than to think you’d never see me again.

I am pretty proud of how confused all those videos made everyone, though. I can’t claim it as my own idea, but man…. If y’all could have seen the looks on the faces in the crowd from my perspective that night? Well, you might have all just gotten your underwear soaked…. Because let me tell you know fucking arousing that reaction was.

Closing her eyes for a moment, Kandis seems to be recalling the night of Retribution and the moment she’s speaking of. A smile forms on her face, then she makes an exaggerated shiver through her body.

Whooo! I hope it was as good for all of you as it was for me.

She winks.

But! All of that… the reaction, the sound of the crowd, the way the screams and cheers made the air move, all of it… none of that was nearly as good as the way it felt to walk out there in front of an SCW crowd again…. Not alone.

And that was the real surprise, wasn’t it? Seeing Tommy walk out there with me? I know everyone thought he’d never do it. Never compete again. I heard the ridiculous rumors. That his shoulder was shot from that accident years ago. That he gave up after not becoming World Champion when he had to take my place against Selena when I fucked my knee up. Or… my favorite one, that I made him retire so I would get all of the attention.

Kandis laughs.

I mean come on, really? Don’t get me wrong, I am your whore after all, and that does include being an attention whore, but let me tell you something I’ve learned since being married to the man… no one can make Tommy do anything that Tommy doesn’t want to do.

So, why did he wait so long?

Not my story to tell. Tommy can speak for himself.

What is my story? We’ve already told you.

Tag.
Team.
Championships.

Kandis holds a hand up, four fingers in the air.

Four times Tommy and I carried those titles. Sometimes we even carried the entire division. I remember one time we declared that we had to get the titles back, because we had to save the division. I think we did a pretty good job of that, personally.

That’s not why we’re doing this now, though. The Tag Tea, Division? Doesn’t need saving. It’s been carried on the sturdy shoulders of Light in the Darkness for months, until recently. I may not know too much about these Fall of Man guys who beat them for the belts, Waylon Creek and Giovanni Aries… well, I know Aries a little at least… but I do know a lot about the man leading their little fan club, James Evans. A multiple time Tag Champion himself, one of those reigns ended by yours truly. So Creek and Aries absolutely know what they’re doing, even if some of their methods….

Kandis makes a ‘so-so’ motion with her hand.

Are what some people would call questionable. Hey, I’m not throwing stones, Tommy and me aren’t innocent and fuck knows I’d never claim myself as anything close to that word. I’m just stating facts. My point is… just those two teams alone show the strength of the division right now. But let’s run it back. Glory and Brittany? Solid. Cowgirls from Hell? Vicious. Hollywood? A little ridiculous, but capable. European Firey Nation? Well… do not get me started on their so-called leader, or that camera might run out of battery power. But… those guys are brutal. And I can’t leave out the newest team who might be our opponents this week… so new in fact that the shine is still on em and I bet if I rubbed their foreheads they would squeak… The Product. Alex Hudson and Isaac Stone. Another team led by a man with pedigree. Hi Josh, howya been? Busy in and out of the ring, so it seems. These kids might be puppies but I’m not naïve enough to think that they’d be let loose in an SCW ring unless they were truly ready for it.

So, as you can see, I know damn good and well this division doesn’t need saving.

It doesn’t need us.

But we need it.

What is “it,” you ask?

Kandis holds up the four fingers again…… then raises her thumb to show all five.

We already told you. Number five. We tried a while back to get that fifth reign under our names. To untie the record for most reigns by the same team, and claim that record for ourselves. Listen, there are many things we don’t mind sharing, as you all know… but that record? We want that all to ourselves.

We’re not coming in here making demands, claiming some long-forgotten and dusty rematch clause… that maybe technically exists, I don’t know, I haven’t kept track of that…. no. We’re not here to skip lines or play politics. Throw us in the lineup and let us fight our way up to where we know we belong.

That’s what we plan to do starting this week at Breakdown. It’s quite a welcome back, being put into a match where we don’t even know who we’re gonna face. The first tag team match for The Connection in years… and we already have the odds stacked against us. The fans get to choose. Do we face the brutes led by our old frienemy Konrad? Do we face the boys who seem even more enamored by their own appearance than I ever was? Or do we face the product of Josh Hudson’s loins and teachings?

Okay… that was skeevy, even for me.

Anyway… we don’t know. They don’t know. And to me? That’s the beauty of it all. We surprised SCW at Retribution, now we get surprised by who we’ll face. Seems fair to me.

I can’t promise we’ll win. I can promise that you won’t be expecting us to move as if no time has passed, but we will. I can promise that no matter what happens at Breakdown, we won’t rest until we get that number five. Y’all want to find out how good we still are, after all this time?

Kandis smirks.

Let’s fuck around.
