“Do you ever watch TV? I mean seriously sit down for a moment, take fifteen minutes out of your day, during lunch break or while baking cookies, I don’t know and closely pay attention? The world is fucked. We have become a desensitized society, allowing for corruption and violence to become the norm. People wait for bad news to happen, if there isn’t some killing or bombing it’s a slow day. The planet we live in now is a cesspool of debauchery and skullduggery that even I who am one of the biggest bitches you will meet that is not above wishing death on certain people would never allow her kid to watch that shit. I’m starting to feel the same about the SCW. What we have is a roster full of liars, self-entitled and smug fucks who are in it for one thing, themselves. They disguise as heroes, play to the crowd, pretend to like the kids who by their merchandise, take precious time out of their day to sign autographs and take selfies…..
All to get you on their side.
Those wrestlers do not want anything to do with you, matter of fact they rather have the fans emulate them, like lemmings and yes, it’s sad. See, I don’t sugarcoat anything and if I’m going to speak, I don’t carefully choose my words, I say them with no filter whatsoever. That is why I have been successful, and the United States Championship proves that. Look what this company is putting up in front of me? Syren, who suddenly wants a World Championship Title match she HAS NOT earned. Blake Mason, a man that for the past year has been the villain you hate while I am the one you always needed. Selena Frost, Ace Marshall, Amy Chastaine, Kennedy Street, Ravyn Taylor the list goes on and on, yet the same constant has always been, me. The Hellcat has always been in the thick of things, standing in the mix and never once did I do anything to be accepted by you or anyone else out there, I did it for one person and that was Regan Street.
Look at Jake Starr?
Is this a challenge or an ego trip?
This is what happens when you hang on to the last knot on the rope while hanging over the abyss that was once known as your career. A chasm which most think has no end but instead of just trying to graciously bow out and admit your time has come, like these idiots and extremists on TV, Jake Starr wants to take as many people he can with him. Selena is the same, the Snowflake wants you to believe in fairy tales, sell you on this dream to believe in what exactly?
How to pander to her needs?
Jake, Selena, they are all the same, every action serves as a self-fulfilling prophecy to boost their already inflated arrogance? Well, they will both have one thing in common….
Their little “quests”?
Will be taking a little CATnap.”
PAST, PRESENT & FUTURE: THE GRIM REALITIES OF LIFE
When Regan Street said she hated Syren, she meant every word of it. After the break-up of Mikaela Street and CHBK, Regan’s younger sister really took it hard. Regan wasn’t even aware of what was going because to her, everything was okay. Regan had her attention focused on working with her mother skills for both Jason and Jennifer Williams, the young woman that Regan has become her guardian and very close too. The Hellcat has tried to become a good wife, separating her business and personal life, it has worked wonders in her career, someone that has been on a roll since last year. Regan had one smudge on her record so far and she was looking to rectify it. After Under Attack she felt satisfactory, beating Syren and dedicating the win to her little sister spoke volumes…
They didn’t know what Mikaela was going through and neither did Regan.
After finding out, she was crushed. Regan loves her sister, for a while both were separated from one another, they had a huge rift splitting the two, it all fell to the men they were involved with, David Helms and the legend, CHBK. Regan hated Alex Sr., She never felt he was good enough for Mikaela. Regan always stood her ground but for her sister’s sake, she was willing to let things go until he pulled this stunt and sided with Syren and Ravyn, the two women that Regan probably despises the most in wrestling. That drew the lines in the sand, from that moment forward Regan was on a mission and after she dealt with Dark Fantasy there was one more woman that she was going to deal with and that was Selena.
Things is Regan needed to concentrate on her life outside the ring and up until a month ago, she was doing just fine but the cracks in the armor started to show, it was at that point that even she was a bit scared, frightened at just how much she loathed people to the brink she wished they were no longer here. That wasn’t the message Regan wanted to send but that was what was happening. After trying so hard to be a good person and go out of her way to change her ways, it was up to Regan herself to finally recognize that this was going to be a true test. For her, the family and even her friends…..
The Hellcat needed to be tamed or else, a repeat of last year would happen.
The Black Dahlia
Los Angeles, CA.
11.19.17
It was David Helms 37th Birthday and for Regan, she needed to be on her best behavior. It was hard for Regan, she is not the kind of person that puts on facades though many would think that is exactly what she was doing with Jennifer Williams and Christian Cannon. She had even set up a curse jar to keep her well aware of the mistakes she was making around Jason, it was no secret that Regan was indeed a potty mouth. The beautiful Street sat in the corner, David hung out with many superstars and family that were there while she sipped on her Vodka Tonic with lime. Wearing ripped jeans and open toed heels, a red halter top with her long hair hanging down and nails polished a matte black, her green eyes watches while Mikaela sat next to her in jean, white peep toe pumps and a black halter top, her long blonde hair hanging down and nails polished white. With her arms crossed she could tell that her sister was quite bothered….
Mikaela: “You’re making it obvious.”
Regan: “What?”
Mikaela: “That you hate more than half of the people at this place right now. You have been playing Suzy Homemaker for how long now? I suggest you put on that mask and pretend you’re at least having a good time for your husband’s sake.”
Regan: “It’s hard.”
Mikaela: “I know it is hard Regan, no one ever said that life was not hard. You know better than anyone there are times to pick and choose battles, I have been telling you that since day one and finally you started listening to Josh Hudson and I.”
Regan: “Yeah, yeah whatever Pippy Longstockings.”
Mikaela: I won’t even dignify that with a response, especially with you sitting here with a pouty face and the stink eye, Bad enough you’re murdering everyone here on looks alone? Come on, that is attention right now we don’t need.”
Listening to her sister, Regan focuses on the people there to see David, she takes a firm grip of her drink and takes a sip. Her green eyes glaze over at Amy Chastaine and Wyatt….
Mikaela: “Regan….”
Regan: “Can I just loathe here for a second? I have been working overtime trying to be a mother to Jason and Jenni, do you know how hard it is to be a baker at home and most of all suck it up and have to by an SUV that is pretty much a Mini-Van and drive your kid to school in the mornings then get invited to PTA meetings oh and a Pampered Chef Party come tomorrow, so excited…”
Mikaela: “I sense sarcasm.”
Regan: “That’s because it is. I am trying here Mikaela.”
Mikaela: “Try harder.”
Regan: “That bitch took Kennedy over me as a tag team partner.”
Mikaela: “Oh My God, seriously? You hate her!”
Regan: “You’re right, I do hate her, doesn’t mean I’m still not pissed.”
Mikaela: “Look….”
Regan slowly turns her attention toward Mikaela….
Regan: “Hate drives me, Miks. It gives me a purpose. I’m going to be honest with you, had you not been cutting yourself….”
Miks eyes widen, she quickly steps closer to Regan and jabbing her in the arm…
Mikaela: “For the love of God, Regs, can you say that a little louder!?”
Regan: “Sorry…. Like I was saying. Had you not taken to breaking up with Alex so hard, I don’t know if I would have beaten that cunt. She came to fight, she kicked my ass….”
Mikaela: “… and you kicked hers.”
Regan: “Yeah, I did but had hate not been the motivator, I don’t know. That’s why I want to face Selena next, I also want that alcoholic Jinny Weasley at some point too… Amy I’m talking about Amy, she’s a witch or something and…”
Mikaela: “I knew what you meant I was just amazed at the Harry Potter reference.”
Regan: “Blame Jenni… She loves that shit… Ugh I really am getting housebroken, aren’t I?”
Mikaela: “Anyway you know in time you will get both, in time you can have your revenge tour. Now though? You need to focus on Jake Starr and not the people here. Tonight, is about your husband, NOT you. It’s his 37th Birthday, I thought he was a lot older than that.”
Regan: “I’m married to a dinosaur, you were dating the fossil.”
Shaking her head, Mikaela takes a sip of her green drink….
Regan: “What the fuck is that anyway?”
Mikaela: “Midori Sour.”
Regan: “Could you not have picked a bigger bitch fufu drink?”
Mikaela: “Blow me. Seriously, listen to me….. forget about these people.”
Regan: “Kind of hard to Miks, they all love to flock to my husband, they all are so respectful, kind and sweet to him. Then they insult and talk shit about me and the family, yet these fucking hypocrites are going to come here and act like they care for David? AJ blew up on me in a plane over the same shit. People I associate with, but I’m demonized if I do it? Or are they doing it to rub it in my face because I’m sitting here?”
Mikaela: “Syren and Ravyn aren’t here.”
Regan: “They better not show up, I won’t be able to control myself then. I see where you are coming from, I really do but I wish these people would stop leeching off my husband’s success and the power he holds in the business. He has stroke Miks, they know that. All they want to do is schmooze him over, get David on their side……”
Mikaela: “It hurts you.”
She turns back to Mikaela, tilting her head in a bit of confusion….
Regan: “What?”
Mikaela: “It hurts, watching your husband be nice to them, talking on Twitter, encouraging the same people you wish would drop dead, good fortune and luck. Same reason AJ was mad at you, except he actually said something, you’ve kept your cool.”
Regan: “Drop dead? That’s a bit harsh….”
Mikaela: “Syren? Selena? Amy? Ravyn? Ace? Jak….”
Regan: “Okay…. When you put it like that I get your point.”
Mikaela: “It hurts, you want him to stand side by side with you, publicly that is. I used to feel the same way about Alex. He would show support for people that I didn’t like either and that made me question his loyalties. You see Selena wishing him a Happy Birthday and act so smug, makes you cringe, Amy being here? I just want you to know that I do understand, I really do.”
The Hellcat sits silent for a moment knowing that what Mikaela says is factual. It does get to Regan, it bothers her beyond belief. Sometimes she wonders what he is thinking when showing support to her enemies but that is the charm behind David Helms…..
Regan: “You’re right, it bothers me. I try not to let it, he sleeps in my bed not theirs. He’s my husband, not theirs. We have a life together not with them. It does get to me at times, I try to let it go, main reason why I am here though I didn’t think I would make it at first. We can’t control who we fall in love with, that shit just happens.”
Mikaela: “I know.”
Regan: “Mikaela, look, I know I was hard on you because of Alex, it was insensitive of me to thrown him through the fire. What he did was bullshit, it was unacceptable. It pissed me off and I didn’t think anything of it but seriously, I know what he is trying to do now, ignore him.”
Mikaela: “Maybe he meant it.”
Regan: “Damn it Mikaela, stop for a second and think about the state he put your through? Me for that matter. Is that what someone who loves you do? Run to the enemy?”
Mikaela: “I….. no… they don’t.”
There is a momentary pause, before sisters sit in awkward silence. Regan couldn’t help but think that this is a situation which has slowly started to boil over, Past, Present & Future have made their mark but there is one thing that could break it all apart….
Trust …
Breakdown
New Orleans, LA.
One Week Ago
Regan saw what had happened, between CHBK and Mikaela Street, a small altercation which Josh Hudson was involved in. For Regan, it was a sign that her sister was going to take some time trying to get over the old bastard and it grinded her at the core. The Hellcat hated the idea of he even speaking to her, she in her mind was thinking that Alex Sr. was playing with her emotions, trying to get the best of her at a time of weakness which would hurt Past, Present & Future. After Breakdown, last week in New Orleans, Regan exacted some revenge on Selena Frost after the previous week in Germany. Her and Josh Hudson had been talking, when she was attacked by Selena, Regan had lost it afterwards, Hudson watched it unfold like he has many times over….
This time he was pleased.
Regan grabbed her things, ready to leave, wearing jeans, boots, a t-shirt and leather jacket. She turned to see Josh in the entrance way in jeans, sneakers, a hooded sweater and hoodie….
Regan: “Come to gloat?”
Josh: “Why?”
Regan: “Because you were right?”
Josh: “I’m always right Regan.”
Regan: “Not always, Josh. I was right about Under Attack, I went in there with one purpose, destroy Syren. I accomplished that and so much more. Selena is next.”
Josh: “No, she isn’t, Jake Starr is.”
Letting out a sigh, Regan shook her head still trying to believe herself that Jake Starr had the audacity to put all the Champions in a Chamber and try to beat them one by one and take a belt. Rolling her eyes, she packs the rest of her stuff….
Josh: “Attitude again? I figured after last week when Selena was able to get the drop, you would have learned and why this week went well all because for the first time in a long time you actually took to heart what I had to say. No bullshit, no arguments. Yet, I bring it up and I get the typical Regan Street catty response.”
Regan: “What do you want me to say?”
Josh: “Thank you Josh?”
Regan: “I could’ve handled her my way.”
Josh: “Your way was to jump her right off the bat, my way actually has Selena scrambling, it puts her as the aggressor and that bodes well for you. Problem is, this faction is called Past, Present & Future, you seem to forget all too well the future part as in think ahead of the curve and instead allow your opponent to telegraph their next move giving you that opening you need. You stood back and waited, look what happened after that? We knew exactly where Selena would be.”
Regan nods and begrudgingly turns to Josh and finally admits it….
Regan: “You were right, is that what you wanted to hear?”
Josh: “Do you mean that?”
Regan: “Yes, I do.”
Josh: “Then yes, that is what I wanted to hear.”
Regan: “Then it’s settled, thank you. I put that bitch in her place tonight.”
She zips up her bags and hoists it over her shoulder, smirks and starts to head out the door….
Josh: “Wait Hellcat, we have one more concern.”
Regan: “What’s that?”
Josh: “Your sister.”
Regan: “There is nothing to be concerned about when it comes to Mikaela, I can vouch for her, Josh. She is my sister and we are on the same page.”
Josh: “Didn’t seem that way a few weeks back when Alex was talking to her backstage until I decided to intervene and trust me, it wasn’t pleasant. I saw her facial expressions, her googly eyes? She still loves him.”
Regan: “My sister is fine, I’m not going to talk about this anymore Josh, please drop it. I know how much you hate CHBK, so do I. I don’t think either of us would shed a tear of his pancreas and liver gave out. When it comes to Mikaela, I will handle my sister.”
Josh stands in front of the door just as Regan is ready to walk out. She stops, biting down on her jaw…..
Regan: “Josh, get out of my way.”
Josh: “I know that she is your sister, you love her very much, believe in her but I have seen her arms, Regan.”
Regan: “I’m going to say this one more time, get out of my way. You were right about the approach against Selena and in general, I admit that, but my sister has suffered enough, she doesn’t need to anymore. She’s had it rough, Mikaela will be fine, have a little faith in her like I have.”
Josh: “You weren’t there.”
Regan: “I didn’t have to be. I believe in her and if Rachel just got up and left you, guess what? You’d be hurting too. Do not demonize my sister, she doesn’t deserve that. I draw the line when it comes to her now.”
Josh: “I’m saying it now, if I continue to see her talking to CHBK, we will have a problem. We cannot allow this to crack, do we agree?”
Regan: “My sister is off limits, Josh. I will handle her.”
He steps to the side and nods, she slowly walks past him, turning to Josh quickly…..
Regan: “Mikaela took this really hard and it was because of her I beat Syren. It will be because of her I beat Jake Starr and Selena Frost. She is my blood and my responsibility. We wouldn’t be here right now if it wasn’t for Mikaela. Don’t you ever threaten my sister…..”
Josh: “You just make sure she is on the right side.”
Regan: “…. I never doubted her for a second.”
She doesn’t say anything else and storms past Hudson who just looks on and cracks a smirk….
Outside
Mikaela is at the rental, she loads up the bags, a few are heavy when she hears a voice behind her….
Voice: “Let me help you with that….”
She quickly turns around and sees CHBK standing there in jeans, a button up untucked shirt, cowboy hat and boots. Mikaela in jeans, wedge sandals and a white halter top, her long blonde hair hanging down and nails polished white. He picks up the few suitcases and loads them into the trunk…
Mikaela: “Dude…. What the hell do you think you’re doing!?”
CHBK: “Helping you out, why?”
Mikaela: “Helping me out? No, you tried to talk to me last time and Josh nearly killed you. Go away.”
CHBK: “I meant what I said Mikaela, when we chatted last time. This was something that I felt I needed to do, it had nothing to do with the relationship we had per say though yes, I do understand there was going to be consequences to it all. I just needed you to understand that. It may look like this, but it actually is….”
Mikaela: “Stop. You never once discussed this with me. Besides, Ravyn has always been something of an obsession with you so how does that look? I’ll tell you how it looks, you dropped me for her, not to manage Syren and Ravyn, but to hop back in the sack with Ravyn and hope Syren joins?”
A chuckle slips from the mouth of CHBK, shaking her head….
CHBK: “Miks, you have it all wrong. I always believed you were one of the smartest women in the SCW, definitely in the Street family. Regan has always been about anger and rage. She is not at the maturity level that someone like you is at. I think that if your sister would grow up a little, she is exactly what this business needs. Her fire, tenacity, talent and charisma cannot be denied…..”
Mikaela: “You talk about Regan, yet you side with a self-absorbed, transparent fake bitch like Syren and a woman who basically cheats herself to everything she has ever earned in Ravyn? Who at one point was the biggest slut in the SCW? Exploiting your sexual relationship? Comer on Alex, don’t bullshit me okay.”
CHBK: “You have it all wrong.”
Mikaela: “No, you do. You could have worked with us, this is about Regan and Josh, that’s why you went to Dark Fantasy. You know the special talent that Regan Street is, she has beaten the best and no Chamber match with Jake Starr and no PPV Match with Selena Frost is going to stop her from ending this year as the United States Champion. You could have worked with us instead, mold Regan, teach her instead of chastising her at every turn like Syren and Ravyn do. They are not the future of this sport. You think it’s okay what Ravyn did to Sienna?”
CHBK: “Sienna and her management team put themselves in that situation. We just capitalized.”
Mikaela: “Two wrongs don’t make a right Alex.”
He nods, backing off a little….
CHBK: “Okay, I will give you that. You’re right, fighting fire with fire isn’t always the answer. Regan won’t listen to me. She sees me as the antichrist.”
Mikaela: “Because right now? You are.”
CHBK: “I have tried to get it through her head, even let her beat me to a bloody pulp all to make a point. She doesn’t get it and I don’t know if she ever will. I have been around this business for a long time, there is no denying your sister has IT. She just needs to understand how to use IT.”
Mikaela: “Use, good choice of words.”
CHBK: “Mikaela, I never used you. If I had talk to you about my desire come back and manage Dark Fantasy what would you have done?”
Mikaela: “Kick you in the balls.”
CHBK: “I mean besides that.”
Mikaela: “I don’t know, bite your dick off.”
CHBK: “I mean besides all the obvious…..”
Mikaela: “Dude, what do you want me to say? Punch you in the mouth, kick you in the ass, dropkick you in the chest, break a vase over your noggin?”
He stands there for a second with his arms folded….
Mikaela: “I would have probably kicked you out of the apartment and broken up with you.”
CHBK: “You had that already in your mind so there was no explanation, had I gone through with it, what do you think would have happened? This exact same thing. It was never about not loving you Mikaela, this was something I needed to do.”
Mikaela: “You could have talked to me. I loved you so much Alex.”
CHBK: “I still love you, but I want you to understand I ha….”
Voice: “HEY!”
CHBK closes his eyes for a second, recognizing the voice coming up from behind him, he turns to see Regan storming out with her bag over her shoulder that she drops in the parking lot, ready to lunge at him when Mikaela wedges between the two….
Regan: “You stay the fuck away from my sister! You don’t get to talk to her anymore, you two-timing son of a bitch!”
CHBK: “Regan… not here.”
Regan: “Oh fuck you, man! I’ll drive your head into the fucking concrete right now and watch your brain matter spill all over this parking lot!”
Mikaela: “Regan stop!”
Regan: “Not after what he did to you! Not after what happened before Under Attack! Not after what I fucking saw you do to yourself!”
CHBK: “Do what to yourself? Mikaela?”
Mikaela: “It’s nothing!”
Regan: “Nothing!? Nothing!? Go ahead Mikaela, tell him exactly what he drove you to do! Ask him why I kicked his precious Syren’s ass all over Under Attack and made her my bitch! Tell him!”
CHBK looks a bit confused, he backs off a little, trying to figure out what exactly Regan is talking about. He again tries to ask Mikaela….
CHBK: “Miks?”
Mikaela: “It’s nothing, just fucking go!”
Regan: “No, it’s not “nothing”! She started to self-mutilate herself because of you, asshole!”
His eyes widen, embarrassingly Mikaela throws her arms in the air and walks away…..
CHBK: “Mikaela…..”
Regan then jumps right in his face…..
Regan: “You put my sister through hell and I swore to her that I would avenge that Hell first on Syren, then on Ravyn and finally on you. I can skip Ravyn and go straight to you right now and that would make it just fine with me Alex! You stay the hell away from my sister, you made the choice and it was the wrong one.”
CHBK: “You don’t understand, and you probably never will but my intentions were never to hurt her.”
Regan: “You made your choice. You want to try and embarrass us, her with the way you just dropped the relationship and me when I wrestled Blake and everything moving forward? Fine. Just remember ONE thing, we were your family when those two cunts, dropped you like a bad habit.”
He doesn’t say another word and backs off, walking away. Mikaela is by the car, leaning against it with her arms folded. Regan grabs her bag, throwing it in the trunk…..
Regan: “Get in the car.”
Mikaela: “Why did you tell him that?”
Regan: “He’s a fucker and needed to know what his selfish actions did to you. Now come on, get in the car.”
Mikaela: “You shouldn’t have told him.”
Regan: “Yeah? Well maybe I wouldn’t have had to tell him if you were not standing here talking to that prick!”
Mikaela: “He came to me.”
Regan: “Mikaela!? I don’t give a shit about the details! I had Josh in there questioning me about your loyalties and feelings. I defended you, but had he walked out here with me!? What would have happened!? You would have made me look stupid and confirmed his concerns! You shouldn’t be talking to him in the first place Mikaela, he IS the enemy now! I don’t care what you guys had in the past, I really don’t! These are not those times, he has made a choice, he didn’t choose you, he chose Dark Fantasy instead let that sink in for a moment! If he loved, you as much as he claims!? This would have never happened! Looks at you!”
Regan grabs Mikaela hard by the wrist, turning her arm upwards and lifting her blouse sleeve to show the cuts…..
Regan: “Look at these! This was him that did it Mikaela, no one else and you are going to stand there and talk to this fucking jackass and actually give him the time of day!? Really!? You need to look at yourself in the mirror for once Mikaela and start asking yourself a few questions! We are family, let that guy go!”
Mikaela yanks her arm away from Regan…..
Regan: “Whatever, get in the fucking car! I am not going to keep defending you to Josh if you’re going to act like this, go the fuck back home and get out of SCW, I will do it myself.”
Regan bumps Mikaela and heads to the car…..
Mikaela: “Don’t talk to me like that.”
Regan: “Get in the fucking car, Mikaela!”
Mikaela: “Don’t talk to me like that!”
Regan: “Fine, you can fucking, stay here!”
Before Regan can turn to get in the car, Mikaela pushes her causing The Hellcat to stumble back and fall on her ass. Eyes widened, Regan glares up at Mikaela who is seething in anger standing over her sister….
Mikaela: “I am sick and tired of you always trying to control my life! You had NO RIGHT telling him what had happened! I didn’t want him to know! I don’t need his pity or yours! I am so sick and tired of you always trying to but in thinking what is good for me!”
Regan: “You need to calm down….”
Mikaela: “Why!? Because you said so!? Did you even think of the implications of your actions right now!? No, you did not! Instead you go full speed ahead not caring about consequence which is why Josh pulled you to the side and told you to let Selena bury herself! Well, now!? Much as I appreciate you fighting for me Regan and beating the hell out of Syren, this whole situation is bigger than wrestling! I am trying here, I really am….”
Regan: “And I am trying to keep your head on those shoulders before Josh or even Sienna and her entourage start questioning your god damn loyalty! You think I want this!? I told him because he needs to know and understand what a douchebag he is!”
The younger Street shakes her head and starts to back up, scoffing at the words coming from Regan’s mouth. Mikaela didn’t want that kind of information out….
Mikaela: “No…. what you were doing was satisfying your anger by using me as a means to an end for him Regan! This was about you and the part which upsets me the most, you never care what I think!”
Regan: “All I care about is what you think Mik….”
Mikaela: “Bullshit! I tried to stop you and what did you do!? Completely ignored me then demanded I get in the car and suck it up!? Stop BULLYING ME!”
Regan’s eyes widen the moment Mikaela practically just called her a bully, the word she has fought so hard against this past year where multiple people called her that on her quest to the United States Championship. Mikaela’s eyes start to tear up, she backs away, throwing her arms in the air in frustration. Regan, still on the ground sits up, resting her arms on the knees…..
Regan: “Mikaela…. I’m sorry.”
Mikaela: “You have no faith in me.”
Regan: “That’s bullshit.”
Mikaela: “Is it? That why you came roaring over here when you saw Alex?”
Regan: “I thought he was going to hurt you, maybe try to take you away from me.”
Mikaela: “Is that what it’s about? Am I the prize to whom gets what? You want to protect me or you want to protect Past, Present & Future?”
Regan: “You damn well know!”
Mikaela: “No, I don’t! I….”
Mikaela stops, she sees Sienna walking out in jeans, a gold halter top and matching pumps, she is accompanied by Laura Steinbeck and the Truelove Twins. Sienna sees what is happening. Regan quickly gets up and wipes her butt….
Sienna: “Bitches…. What’s going on here?”
Regan: “Nothing, we were just talking.”
Sienna: “Sitting on a nasty concrete lot, you know the water here in New Orleans is contaminated.”
Regan: “I was tired.”
Sienna: “Right…… Mikaela?”
Mikaela: “We are fine Sienna, seriously. We’ll see you on Bourbon Street in a bit, I’ll buy you a Hurricane.”
Sienna: “You can’t carry me back to the hotel, sweetie, my legs alone weigh more than you. Are we sure everything is okay?”
Mikaela nods….
Mikaela: “I promise.”
Sienna: “Regan?”
Regan: “Go bitch, we’ll see you later.”
Sienna: “Did you just call me bitch?”
Regan: “You called us bitch and so….”
Sienna brushes her hair in Regan’s face and winks, walking away leaving Regan standing there, her eyes slowly shift toward Mikaela. Once Sienna and company are gone, Regan lowers her head…..
Regan: “Mikaela….”
Mikaela: “Save it.”
Without another word spoken, Mikaela gets into the passenger side of the car and slams the door. Regan takes a second to calm herself down before letting out a sigh before getting into the car herself and driving away……
Black Dahlia
11.19.17
Regan twirls her drink with a straw. Mikaela can see that Regan is deep in thought. Mikaela remembers well that same night, since then things hadn’t been the same between the two sisters. They still talk but it has been more of being cordial and professional, neither one of them really have taken to anything more after the argument. She turns to see Amy Chastaine talking to David, both are laughing. A little while earlier Dominic showed up with Bree Lancaster as his “date”. There were a few people not happy about it. Regan could care less, Bree and Sienna became tight, long as Bree didn’t cross her she was fine though AJ Helms’ reaction was just a tad more severe. Regan also saw her cousin Kelcey mingling, drinking and having fun…..
Mikaela: “What are you thinking about?”
Regan: “All of this, if it’s even worth it. I look Kelcey over there and she doesn’t want to hang up the boots. She loves this sport and is trying anything and everything to go out her way. Her mother, my aunt just passed a few weeks ago, and she hasn’t skipped a beat, she hides it well. As for me? I wonder if I have overstayed my welcome. Maybe I should walk away too, take a break…. Have a ki….”
Mikaela: “Stop, the person talking isn’t you right now. The person talking is an emotional Regan who is upset with something. Look, last week….”
Regan: “Forget it, you were right. I am only trying to protect you. I guess I was being a little overbearing.”
Mikaela: “We both made mistakes, I just want you to know, you can trust me.”
Regan: “That has never been in question Miks…. Ever. Josh may think otherwise but we are stronger than ever. I probably shouldn’t have said anything, thing is, I’m getting tired Mikaela.”
Mikaela: “Tired? Of what?”
Regan: “All of this. The mask I wear especially right now. This is about my husband’s birthday and yet all I want to do is bust this glass over Chastaine’s head or super kick half these people into the window in front of the lounge. I can tell Jennifer thinks I’m an idiot because I am trying to bake, I have a curse jar that I think I’ve already put in over a thousand dollars. I’m the US Champion and this company isn’t going to allow me to coast like it has its previous champions, they get Stacy Kissinger, I get former World Champs. At this point, Mikaela, I just don’t know. I look at this and it doesn’t change anything, they think I’m a bully, you think I’m a bully, if I dropped dead tomorrow none of these people here would care….”
Mikaela grabs her hand…..
Mikaela: “Please stop talking like that. That is not true at all. You are loved by many people. Who cares what these people think and I for one was angry, I am very emotional right now and going through a hard time, it’s easy for me to just lose, I have a quick trigger, I’m a woman I have an excuse. Your husband is popular, people love him, what’s most important though? That he loves YOU. He doesn’t love them, he’s married to you. I can see you’re upset, have another drink.”
Regan: “I’ve already had three… fast. I’m not going to get drunk and make an ass of myself in front of David, I refuse to. He deserves this. You saw how I was when D. took away his Hall of Fame nominee.”
Mikaela: “You drank yourself unconscious.”
Regan: “Yeah…. I’m not doing that again. I need to take a trip to the loo.”
Mikaela: “Okay.”
Regan stands up, she fixes herself and walks into the restroom, David looks over at Mikaela who gestures by shaking her head. David looks a bit concerned still midway through conversation….
Inside the Ladies Room, it is a singles bathroom, Regan locks the door and stares in the mirror for a moment. She is questioning herself on whether she should even continue with this or not. The gorgeous Hellcat looks down at her wedding ring, tilting her head……
Helms Home
Santa Monica, CA.
A Few Hours Earlier
Regan was dressed and ready to leave, David had gone ahead to make sure everything was set up, Regan was waiting for Sienna, so they could ride up there together. The two friends were going to enjoy a night out until she received the call. Jason was at his mother’s, Jenni was on the couch watching TV in black jeans and a t-shirt, barefoot with her nails polished black and hair down. She was using her iPhone….
Regan: “You cannot be serious? Who cares if she is there?”
Sienna: “Sweetie, I think it is best if I don’t go. I didn’t know that he was going to be there?”
Regan: “You are my ride and yes he will be there so are a bunch of people we both dislike, who gives a shit. Come on.”
Sienna: “It’s complicated. Besides I face Kelcey at the PPV, I don’t want it to be awkward.”
Regan: “Awkward for who?”
Sienna: “I can’t come sweetie, I’m sorry.”
Regan: “Wait, hold on a second… Are you talking about Chris Cannon!?”
There is silence on the other end…..
Regan: “Sienna you are engaged.”
Sienna: “I know, I’m a whore.”
Regan: “No, you are not a whore, maybe a little confused but not a whore. I mean he’s hot….. okay he’s like really hot but come on Sienna, you love Jacob…. Right?”
Sienna: “I do. Sweetie I really don’t want to talk about this now, I just think it is best that I do not go. Can you please just support me on this. I supported you when that lame prank on Selena happened at Kelcey’s Halloween party even if I didn’t agree with it.”
Regan: “Nobody knows I was behind it so you better shut the fuck up about it.”
Jenni: “Tip Jar!”
Regan covers the phone…..
Regan: “Oh stop you’re not 6!”
Jenni: “Doesn’t matter, it’s still bad influence on a minor.”
Regan: “Why you….”
Sienna: “Pay up sweetie, stop being a prude.”
Regan: “Don’t you chime in on this too Swann.”
Sienna: “I’m just looking out. Anyway, I must go, I’m sorry, I just can’t go.”
Regan: “Sienna….”
Sienna: “Bye…..”
Regan: “Don’t hang up on me bit….”
*CLICK*
Regan: “… She hung up on me!?”
Regan puts her phone away, digs into her purse and throws a $5 bill into the Curse Jar, grabbing her keys…..
Regan: “Unbelievable…”
Jenni: “Where are you going?”
Regan: “David’s party, don’t even ask, you’re not old enough.”
Jenni: “I thought Sienna was driving?”
Regan: “Yeah well so did I, something came up.”
Jenni: “Oh… I figured she’s the more responsible of the two… I remember she told me while under contract to Victoria Secrets, if she were to get a, DUI she would lose the contract, that’s pretty good incentive not to drink.”
Regan: “True, you can trip on acid, smoke crack and snort coke in SCW and that helps you win championships. Doesn’t matter, I won’t drink, I’ll be good I promise…”
Regan sarcastically salutes Jenni…
Jenni: “Let me drive you and I can pick you up?”
The Hellcat shakes her head….
Regan: “Hell no, I am not letting you drive the Mustang.”
Jenni: “Oh come on, I can be your Uber, it’ll be fun?”
Regan: “We are not exactly hurting for money, Jennifer.”
Jenni: “Don’t you trust me?”
Regan: “I have been asked that a lot lately. Yes, I trust you.”
She extends her hand, Regan after a few moments of thinking about it and contemplating if this was a good idea in the first place finally gives in and hands over the keys to Jenni which brings a huge grin and smile to her face…..
Regan: “If anything happens to my car, it’s your ass.”
Jenni: “Nothing will, I promise….oh and Curse Jar…. Money?”
Regan: “I swear to fu….”
Regan stops herself and places the money in the jar, she grabs her things, Jenni smirks, slips on some sandals and walks out with her. The two smile at one another as they get in the car….
Regan: “Be careful with her, Jenni, I’m serious.”
Jennifer: “I will, promise.”
She starts up the car, puts in reverse and peels out, hearing as gets further and further from the house Regan screaming from the top of her lungs…..
Black Dahlia
11.19.17
Regan looks down, her hands firmly placed on the marble sink. Closing her eyes, all she can think about is the things she does to make the people around her miserable that even when it is something cute and nice like the ride over, it is overshadowed by all the negativity. Regan has put all her efforts in making a change, this was a reminder of just how rotten she feels inside….
The door knocks….
Regan: “It’s busy!”
David: “Babe… it’s me.”
She turns and opens the door, David Helms walks in and closes it behind him….
Regan: “This isn’t a uni-sex bathroom.”
David: “It is now, what is going on?”
Regan: “Nothing, I just drank too fast and had to pee.”
David: “In the sink? I know you’re talented but that’s a stretch even for you…”
Regan glares at his reflection in the mirror, he flashes a smile…
David: “Okay… I never heard the toilet flush.”
Regan: “How long have you been standing outside?”
David: “Long enough. I could tell something was up and when Mikaela signaled me over here, I came as soon as I could. You’ve been kind of quiet and distant since New Orleans, what’s going on?”
Regan: “Nothing babe, go enjoy your party, this is your day, Happy Birthday. Go out there with your friends, you and I can spend time tomorrow alone.”
David: “What about tonight?”
Regan: “I don’t think either of us will be in any condition to be doing anything tonight. David, the last thing I wanted to do was ruin your birthday, I feel I’m doing that this very moment and I personally can’t handle that right now because you are the only thing….”
She starts to tear up….
David: “Regan, what is wrong….”
Regan: “You are the only thing right in my life and I feel like when all this happened with Mikaela, everything that I worked for and tried to change meant nothing, I reverted back to my vengeful and catty way. I can’t pretend anymore, I am trying so fucking hard right now and I still find myself wondering if I can do it or not. I can’t out there. I hate half those people, it drives me insane when they talk to you, wish you a happy Birthday then try to kick me in the face. I….”
David: “Regan, babe don’t tell me that you’re questioning why I am nice to them? This has nothing to do with you, I try to keep personal and professional separate.”
Regan: “When does professional become personal? AJ ripped me up for the same thing. What about Under Attack? When they drive your sister to self-mutilation? When they bury me in lies and insults then turn around, hug you, play darts and share a beer like nothing happened? It was different when you were active, now you play both sides and I have tried. I even tried at home with Jason and Jenni. I still am trying every single day to be the best mother figure I can….”
David: “And you are.”
Regan: “Yeah…. Yet people like me are looked upon as bullies and pariah’s. This Chamber, they want me to lose the US title but everyone else, they hope win….”
David: “Starr apologized to me by the way.”
Regan: “He did?”
David: “Yeah, he did.”
Regan: “Awesome, I’m still going to kick his ass in the Chamber for the inconvenience.”
David: “Never thought anything less babe.”
Regan: “Back to what I was saying, I never cared about anyone else’s opinion of me but yours and when I see you surrounded and praised by the same people that cut down your wife like she is the fucking devil? Well, that gets to me. I love Mikaela, I love Jenni, Jason, AJ and especially you but I don’t know how much more of this I can take……”
She starts to go for her ring, David quickly takes her hand….
David: “Wait a second, what are you doing?”
Regan: “Go out there, enjoy your birthday. I’m going to call Jenni to pick me up.”
She tries to turn and walk out until David still grabbing her by the hand, holds her for a moment before bringing her in closer to his chest…..
David: “I don’t know what you were thinking just now, but never. I sure do not want you to go tonight but I will respect if you do. Regan, some of these people are colleagues, nothing more. You will always be you and that’s why I fell in love with The Hellcat. What you have done at home is the reason I never want to leave and with my tenure in UWA over with, all of my attention is now on one thing… my wife and family. You know where my heart lies. I’m a liaison for the SCW and professional wrestling as a whole, in many ways it’s my job… you are my life.”
She starts to tear up….
Regan: “I love you Dave… that was never in question.”
David: “I know it wasn’t, I love you too. Hey, don’t be upset…..”
Regan: “I’m not ruining your birthday, old man.”
David: “You could never ruin my birthday….”If you want to leave, I will understand babe, I will never put you in a position where you feel uncomfortable.”
Regan: “We can celebrate later.”
David: “I know we can.”
The two share a smile before she leans in and kisses him. It leads to a more passionate kiss until she finds her legs wrapped around his and David presses her against the wall….
David: “Are we….”
Regan: “Shut up and fuck me…..”
David quickly shuts up and continues to kiss her, quickly opening her shirt….
Thirty Minutes Later
Regan stands outside as Jenni pulls in. Regan is pretty drunk, she gets in and takes her heels off, throwing them on the backseat. Regan paces her bare feet on the dash and leans back against the chair….
Jenni: “David?”
Regan: “He’s going to party with the boys.”
Jenni: “Mikaela?”
Regan: “She already left…”
Jenni: “Wha….”
Regan: “You ask too many questions.”
Jenni makes a face….
Jenni: “You smell like vodka and sex… like dirty bathroom sex.”
Regan: “Okay first off, how the hell do you know about dirty bathroom sex, wait, never mind, do not answer that.”
Jenni: “Just stating a fact.”
Regan: “Caught red handed.”
Jenni: “Oh my God! TMI! Did you really!?”
Regan: “Just drive.”
Jenni shakes her head and starts to drive, Regan hasn’t said much, she looks out the window thinking about all that has been going on the last few weeks, it has become a burden, too much even but she still was able to weather the storm. After about ten minutes, Regan points to an exit…..
Regan: “Pull into this road.”
Jenni: “Huh?”
Regan: “Pull into the road, just trust me.”
Jenni: “Okay.”
Jenni takes a hard right into a dirt road, they drive for about a mile before arriving to the edge of the canyon overlooking the ocean. She parks the car and looks out, amazed she never knew it was there. Regan pushes for the convertible top to come down, she goes into her purse and takes out a small bottle of Vodka….
Jenni: “That is totally illegal.”
Regan: “Yeah it is.”
Jenni: “Why are we here?”
Regan opens the bottle and takes a swig, passing it over to Jenni…..
Jenni: “I’m driving.”
Regan: “No, you’re not. Drink.”
Jenni: “But I….”
Regan: “I protect you from everything that I can physically. For once, I’m asking you to have a drink with me.”
Jenni: “Okay.”
Jenni takes a swig, coughs a little as Regan chuckles….
Regan: “Jenni, I maybe hard on you and I may even come across as trying too hard. Honestly you scared the shit out of me….”
A few tears start to roll down Regan’s eyes surprising the young woman. She never really knew how emotional she was after all that happened around Rise to Greatness…..
Regan: “I thought I lost you and I never really had the chance to apologize for what I said. Instead I tried to kill you with kindness and in oddly enough, I liked being that way. It felt natural and right. Tonight, I almost took my ring off and gave it to David….”
Jenni: “Oh my God, no why!? Do you not love him!?”
Regan: “No Jenni, the complete opposite, I love him so much that I think he could do better.”
Jenni: “How? No… why!? How can he do better, you two are made for one another, you are like… my hero!”
She turns to face Jenny, her eyes blood shot….
Regan: “You mean that?”
Jenni: “I do. I may have made some bone head mistakes and I blame myself for you feeling this way. I was angry with you, but I get it, I do. You don’t want me making the same ones you did, you are just trying to protect me.”
Regan: “Jenni, I know how you feel sometimes, when the world is crashing around you, I get it. See that over there, I almost jumped right into the rocks when David had left me, but I promised myself I would pick back up and keep going, THAT is exactly what I did. I just want you to be happy…. For David to be proud of his wife, for Jason to smile when I take him to school. For you to accept me as your guardian…..”
Regan takes another swig of the bottle and puts it down by the seat, her bare feet kicked up on the dashboard hanging out the car door, she lays her seat back, looking up at the clear sky….
Regan: “…. I just want to be me and not have to ever worry about the consequences toward the people I love. I used to come out here alone and stare at the sky.”
Jenni looks up, putting her seat back as well, slipping off her flip flops and placing her feet on the door like Regan…..
Jenni: “Regan?”
Regan: “Yeah kiddo….”
Jenni: “I’m sorry. I’m sorry for everything that I did. You’re like a mentor to me, a sister and a best friend. I don’t know where I would be or who I would be if it wasn’t for you….”
Regan: “…. You called me a hero…..”
Jenni: “You are.”
Regan: “You made my night…..”
Jenni: “I…..”
As she starts to speak, she can hear some snoring coming from The Hellcat who passed out. Jenni turns and sees here there sleeping peacefully. She takes her hand and kisses it before cuddling up next to her….
Jenni: “Just sleep now…..I love you…. Mom.”
SCENE FADES
It’s hard to wear a mask in life when you’re someone like me who dares to be real as they come. It’s a burden though, it can affect those you love most so it becomes a game, one where the odds are against you, the consequences fall on the laps of your family, not the individual. I made my mistakes but in doing so I also learned I will never be something I am not no matter how hard I try….
I must embrace it and hope they love me for who I am….
And that is hard to do.
HELLCAT SPEAKS
STARR LIGHT, STARR BRIGHT….
The Scene Opens….
The Iowa State Capitol, seat of the Iowa General Assembly, is located in Iowa’s capital city, Des Moines, and houses the Iowa Senate, Iowa House of Representatives, the Office of the Governor, and the Offices of the Attorney General, Auditor, Treasurer, and Secretary of State. The building also includes a chamber for the Iowa Supreme Court, although court activities usually take place in the neighboring Iowa Supreme Court building. The building was constructed between 1871 and 1886, and is the only five-domed capitol in the country. Here we find Regan Street, the current United States Champion and resident Hellcat of the SCW. She has been on fie for most of the year seeing just a few mishaps that haven’t gone her way including losing to Selena Frost at Hazardous Envy in January of this year. We can even say that from post Rise to Greatness 2016 on she has been on a roll and probably one of the most successful wrestlers with an almost spotless win/loss record, a loss she would like to avenge and defending the United States Championship successfully against Selena would be exactly that vengeance. Selena is the only person she has yet to beat that she’s faced in the SCW but with her plans heading in The Future Is Now and being part of the stable, Past, Present and Future, Regan thought everything was set and ready it suddenly changed and now she finds herself in a Chamber Match with Jake Starr where every champion must defend their titles?
Regan is clearly annoyed.
For Street, this is another attempt by Jake Starr to save some face in 2017, he won the Trios Tournament with Gable Winchester and Ace Marshall, the first of his team to use it in an unprecedented match much like Greg Cherry did a few years ago putting his career on the line. Of course, Jake’s isn’t but Regan is going to make sure that one way or another it is. Regan had a plan, she had this all worked out and with the possibility of Starr ruining them, taking her title before she gets to Selena Frost only angers the Hellcat even more. For Regan Street this cannot be a spoiler, she cannot choke and after everything she’s done this year so far, beating Selena in the final PPV of the Year and defending the United States Championship would be a huge turnaround for Regan after opening the PPV year with a loss to the Snow Queen….
Regan has matured, endured so much and Jake Starr will be no different. Wearing ripped jeans and black boots, a white halter top and leather jacket with her long brunette hair hanging down and nails polished a matte black, the fiery Hellcat is more than just prepared to face Jake Starr….
She’s ready to beat him into a bloody pulp. Looking into the camera she nods…
REC:
The recording begins, Regan takes a moment before speaking, holding the United States Championship over her shoulder, Mikaela Street, her younger sister behind her in jeans, a white jacket, matching boots and black halter top. Regan talks in a very direct and aggressive voice….
“In this profession you are either given things or you earn them. There are the good, the bad and the lucky. For the last year since Hazardous Envy, I had to claw, scratch and climb my way back from a hole that Selena Frost put me in after she barely and I mean by the skin of her teeth barely beat me and still, she was feeling the after effects of that match for months to come. She went on to Main Event, get multiple World Title opportunities, I was relegated to wrestling Adrenaline Rush on a weekly basis, teased to hell and back I would get a United States Championship match watching everyone and their mother leap frog over me and get what I had earned. I challenged Amy Chastaine, she hands out matches to Tyler Tucker and loses, I challenge Tyler Tucker and he hands out matches to Marie Jones and he loses, then I challenge Marie Jones who decides to hand out matches and is beaten by Jinn who was then FORCED to wrestle against me in an elimination match at Rise to Greatness and guess what?
I beat them all.
What did I learn on my way to winning this United States title, the MOST prestigious Championship in the SCW today bar none, just look at my challengers lately and argue with that?
Humility.
That’s right, I was humiliated, threatened to be fired, drank myself into unconsciousness that even a Mexican bed actually was comfortable. Watched my husband for a while get taken out of his rightful Hall of Fame ballot due to a personal vendetta against me, I was labeled a bully. That’s right, in the last year this is what I’ve had to go through to hold this belt. I have defeated every single wrestler since Rise to Greatness LAST year bar one that you’ve put in front of me including JAKE STARR. Before I even address Jake, this was about one thing, at The Future is Now PPV, Regan Street versus Selena Frost for my Championship. Did you see what happened to Syren when she decided to step in the ring against me? I remember hearing everyone talking down to me, acting like she was already going to be the US Champion and what happened at Under Attack?
She was beaten like the bitch she is.
I hate Syren more than anyone in this company and that’s saying a lot, but I did what I said I would do so that Selena Frost would be next and instead while I’m addressing Jake Starr for the buffoon he is, she is coming up from behind and trying to take me out. This whole ploy that I am a part of is ridiculous. See, I don’t mind the challenge, I don’t care if I walk into a Chamber match, I’ve been in them before, I didn’t win, that’s okay, I survived. This is a little different. Jake Starr wants to make this memorable for his hometown, this place, Des Moines. I stand here in front of the State Capital as a symbol to what I think of this city and especially you Jake Starr….”
Regan turns and flips the bird toward the Capital. Mikaela shakes her head and smirks. Regan is not amused in the slightest right now that she must face Starr in the Chamber right before she can get her hands-on Selena Frost. It upsets her, it is just another in a long line of instances she’s had to deal with this past year in the SCW. The Hellcat takes a deep breath and turns back to the camera to speak….
“Jake Starr is a person, much like Syren that wants you to believe this is an act of entertainment, showmanship and integrity. No, this is just another example of greed, self-indulgence and desperation. What kind of an egomaniac puts himself in a Chamber and goes after every belt in the SCW and what kind of a company allows it? Joking around a few months ago when he started teasing this garbage, I mentioned on Twitter he would pull a Greg Cherry, you remember that lowly, fat ass hat who tried the same thing and miserably failed? Jake should know, he was his tag team partner and someone from that era which no longer is relevant in this company. The class of 2009 like Ravyn, Syren and Jake Starr still hold a grip here, Ravyn is a champion, Syren is under Drachewych’s desk again because she may wrestle Allocco that fucking joke for the World Title that is of course if Jake isn’t the champion. Jake can talk the talk, I mean honestly that was some pretty moving stuff and unlike the other competitors who may applaud and sing your praises, I will do no such thing.
I’ll spit on it.
Jake, you’re a fading “Starr” and for the last few years you have somehow stayed afloat. History speaks for itself, Jake Starr was never a humble man, he says he loves this sport, that maybe true but he loves the recognition this sport gives you even more, she’s like a drug. Jake is in this for Jake. There is no other reason why he would put himself in this predicament. Could it be because he has been successful in the Chamber before?
Sure…
One problem Jake…
In a normal Chamber there are six people trying to kill one another, here you have all champions trying to prevent you from winning anything. Usually I am the type of person that would ask to be first, beat you down, finish my night early, walk out with my belt and leave you to the rest of the wolves. This time, I hope I’m last and I’ll tell you why, this nonsense is over. I’m going to finish this, like a wounded Champion horse, I’m taking you out to the pasture and leave you beaten, bloodied and most of all?
Forgotten.
Ask Greg Cherry how he’s doing these days. Jake, you’ve had an illustrious career, winning every title, even challenging Sienna Swann when she was Women’s Champ to her belt, a move that was both comedic and sad. Jake Starr even after admitting to all of your flaws in that presidential speech you gave, there is one you forgot….
Being late to the party.
You think you’re the only one who loves this sport or has a passion for it? For the last nine years Jake Starr’s career has been defined by his gold. When Red Rayne beat your Adrenaline Tile record, you were crushed, going on Twitter and acting like a little kid. When you didn’t get your way, which was at the time you were teaming with Syren, an idea I knew was a failure from the start when the two biggest fragile egos in wrestling are in one room, you grabbed a chair, threw a temper tantrum and started hitting everyone with it including my husband and me. This was NEVER about honor for you man, this was about self-gratification and just like now you want to take away the spotlight from the talent that have EARNED their titles, much as I hate almost every other champion here and make it your own….
Because Jake Starr needs the spotlight, or he means nothing.
When I first came to the SCW Jake, did you pay me any attention? No, matter of fact I remember our first match, you slammed a chair in my face and stated that you had no idea who I was, that I had no business being in the same ring as you, THE World Champion. The words to this day resonated. It was the same ones Syren said to me, she would say to Rachel Tatum Lee and so many others who turned around and beat her ass to a bloody pulp. You put me down, you tried to discredit me every chance you had and what happened when I faced you at Rising the Lightning?
I won my first World Championship.
That’s right Jake, I shut you up that day and ruined the little Trios plans then you had with Syren and come tonight? I will do it again but this time Jake, the roles are reversed, what 5 years makes….
And that’s the reason why you are trying to commit professional suicide.”
Rolling her eyes, Regan can only shake her head, turning from the camera. Mikaela looks on, she crosses her arms as Regan’s approach to this has actually been a lot calmer than she first originally thought. Regan had an altercation with Jake back in Germany. She was blindsided by Selena Frost, that still doesn’t matter to Regan, she is just ready to get this over with and move on with her life. She turns toward the camera….
“This has always been your game, nothing and I mean NOTHING has ever changed with you Starr. You speak about evolution, yes the sport is a revolving door and if you do not adjust then you will end up buried in the heap with the rest of the forgotten superstars who were once the kings and queens of this fortress. When did you finally decide that a change was in order? Do you think signing a few autographs, being nice to your fellow wrestlers and retweeting their hip-hip hooray Tweets suddenly makes you a cool dude? It makes Jake Starr so 2017 instead of 2009? No, it doesn’t asshole. Jake, I am not the same woman I was when I entered the SCW. Sure, I had a chip on my shoulder, there was pressure for me to succeed, to live up to the Street Legacy. ALL of us have had our ups and downs, when I beat you for the World Championship at Riding the Lightning: Night One, I was on top of the world, I beat a pompous ass like you when no one ever gave me a goddamn chance! I celebrated, I thought I had it all….
The next night I lost it, suddenly I was a forgotten, the wrestling world moved on to its next program, Syren versus Brittany Lohan, nobody gave a shit about me, the girl with the 24-hour reign and for FIVE YEARS after that all you ever said to me Jake was I was NEVER going to be good enough to beat you! For five years all you said was that I could never lace your boots! For five years that I will NEVER be the wrestler you were! Riding the Lightning was a fluke, I lost it the next night, I sucked!? The Kitty-Cat this and the Kitty-Cat that always putting me down any chance you had! Calling me irrelevant all the way until last year! Do you think I forgot those things you said and yet I’m the one everyone demonizes when you have been the biggest piece of shit since I started here, and that accolade speaks volumes for who you are because trust me there have been some turds who have come through this company…?
Some gone, some still here and you’re the biggest one of them all!
This match is bullshit, it’s a farce, it’s a cheap attempt at salvaging what is left of your career. See, Jake, the shoe is on the other foot now, no longer am I that girl who is beneath you, who will never be a World Champion like Jake Starr! All I have done in my five years since and especially in the last two is beat the former World title holders and stake my claim as THE VERY BEST wrestler in this company!
Ask Ace Marshall!
Ask Shaun Cruze!
Ask Ravyn Taylor!
Ask Blake Mason!
Ask Amy Chastaine!
Ask Syren!
Ask Kennedy Street!
Ask Selena Frost!
Ask them all and it doesn’t matter if I won or I lost I am what you once were THE VERY BEST and that is what eats you up inside more than anything! No longer can you stand in front of a camera and brag, you can’t claim what you once could! Even Roeper knows that this is all one big, final ego trip to add to the rest of your impressive accolades. During that time when you climbed to the very top of this business, there were heads you stepped on getting there, I was one of them as a young rookie trying to make a name for myself and you couldn’t bear it so instead like a scared veteran, protecting his “spot”?
You buried me.
I took it, I listened while you ran your mouth and slammed your chair on my back; all I did with it was motivate me to climb higher and higher to the point where I quietly started breaking records, I never once bragged about, I went on streaks not even Kelcey Wallace could compare to and still, I was quiet allowing my wrestling to speak for itself. For this past year the booking committee decided to throw me in the back seat, they thought it would be fun to watch me squirm in the lower midcard and watch the undeserving who couldn’t beat me on my worst night and in no time Jake, I climbed out of that hole and right back where I belonged….
At the top, United States Champion and to HELL if you think for ONE second you are going to take it from me in some concoction to garner more attention for your fledgling career!”
She backs up for a second, trying to calm down. Mikaela walks up to her and says something, whispering in her ear. Regan nods, listening to whatever it is her younger sister is telling her. This is a very emotional match for Regan, probably more than anyone else involved as the history between her and Jake Starr is very deep including her husband, David Helms. She wants to go into that Chamber and not only put on a show but beat Jake Starr within an inch of her life, no matter the ties he has now to David and company. Mikaela finishes talking to her, Regan looks back and speaks….
“You talk all this piss about how honored you are to fight in your hometown, for the people, for the love of the sport, for the chance to once again be the Shining Starr of the SCW, the Five-Starr Chamber and all that shit, you really had the marketing guys working overtime for that one. Well, Jake I called you out on this stunt months ago, I had a feeling you’d pull something like this. The last Trios Contract you hijacked Kelcey Wallace and Shaun Cruze’s RTG Main Event match when anyone with a little more intelligence and a Trios Contract could have cashed in the Breakdown after but again your ego wouldn’t allow that, had to be the Main Event, just like now? What are you going to do with all the titles Jake? This is absolutely the most idiotic thing I have ever seen in my life. Greg Cherry tried the same at least that fat shit had the sense to leave but you want to carry on after this?
There is NO Hometown advantage here. This isn’t going to be some glorious night for you Jake when somehow you can turn back the clock and have a night so special all to make all of us envious and for one single moment the entire SCW is talking about you? That time is OVER! I earned my spot, always listening and getting berated by megalomaniacs like you. People want to point fingers, they easily say I’m some fucking bully, public enemy number one when all I have ever done is punching you in the mouth after I jumped in your face when I wanted something and it was guys like yourself who disrespected and threw me to the side instead of trying to help me and when that occurred, I realized I didn’t need any of you, all I ever needed was my heart, my determination fueled by people like Jake Starr. I know that you apologized to my husband for all the years of shit you gave him.
How nice….
Bravo Jake, how about you kiss my ass because that won’t fly with me. They call me a bully, yet I was harassed and bullied by you for many years and I didn’t complain, I didn’t whine or cry, instead I elevated myself and surpassed Jake Starr. So, now you had a means to make something happen because on one night you had Ace Marshall on your team and suddenly this match is deserved? No, what you are doing is the same thing you’ve been doing for the last few years….
Making an ass of yourself.
This is how you want people to remember you by? On the same night I wrestled in a Chamber so did you and you lost to Kelcey Wallace so don’t tell me the Chamber is your friend, that you love it…..
No, you love the attention.
Well Jake, you have it, every single bit of it is on you right now. The SCW Universe is talking about Jake Starr, Hashtag Jake Starr is trending on Twitter, everything that is Jake Starr is hot right now, the flavor of the week and come tomorrow Jake?
It’ll be over, and NO ONE will be talking about Jake Starr, sitting back and wondering what the hell you have done and where to next. At some point EVERYTHING ends for all of us. Your time has already come and gone, you’ve just ignored it. For all the actions throughout the years, this Social Misfit crap, fighting against the SCW management like I have, walking around with a chair when shit doesn’t go your way, everything and anything including taking credit for the demise of Silas Mason when it was I that ran him out of here has been for one thing…..
Jake Starr.
Well tonight, I’m going to do something for Regan Street. I will walk into that Chamber and whenever I come out, I will bleed you. I survived Tactical Warfare and started the two times I was ever in that match and it will be nothing compared to what I do to you. I hate you Jake, no….
I loathe you, I have waited for a moment like this. Some people think I’m going to choke? You have no fucking idea how bad I want Frost with this title on the line and so with that said, I will make sure I get her by running over you.”
Biting down on her jaw and a scowl forming on her face, Regan lifts the United States Championship and holds it right in front of the camera. She pauses for a second, allowing Jake to look at the title once last time….
“This isn’t a comeback or some return to glory. There will be no parades and no more talk about Jake Starr. I personally could care less what happens between you and the rest of the Champions but this title here is going nowhere! I have beaten you each time we faced after 2013 reminding every wrestler here and especially you that this is no longer your ring….
This is mine.
And in that Chamber?
I’ll do the SAME. I’m bringing HELL with me Jake for the inconvenience and to this shit of a city and we’ll see how sharp these Kitty’s Claws are when your night ends in a FIVE-STAR CATastrophe.”
She backs up and slowly says…..
“Meow Bitches.”
Regan brushes her hair back and holds up the United States Championship and Mikaela is also in view with a smirk on her face….
FADE TO BLACK
