Fear….
Is this what it has come down to in recent weeks, matter of fact in the last two years to be exact? Are we so afraid to see me succeed? Watch The Hellcat claim she is the very best that even the boss will blatantly abuse his power to try and knock me off my pedestal? When is enough simply enough? When will Mr. Drachewych stop being a constant asshole and just accept that I am the one wrestler who for the last six years has been the model of consistency even if he will never give me a World Championship match which I honestly do not need considering I have beaten every single former holder of that belt worth of note in the last five years while being United States Champion alone, we don’t even need to mention those before this title reign started and here I am shaking my head at what he continues to do all to try and get his way?
How did it work out for the boss trying to do the “right” thing?
What exactly is the right thing these days, huh? Has the SCW become this posturing society where everyone wants to pump out their chest by speech alone, throw my name out there, drop it like it’s hot in hopes to get some recognition and hope for a chance to get me in the ring? Or maybe if you wait long enough they will just gift you something that none of my opponents have earned. 2017 for me was an up and down year, now, don’t get me wrong, I suffered two key losses, one put me on this track, then a less than a year later I proved I could win at any cost against that bitch who was lucky to survive and for half a year felt the beating I gave her. The second was an outright fluke at Taking Hold of the Flame last year which had me thrown out of the battle royal, losing my chance to Main event, Rise to Greatness. The Trios Tournament was a guarantee into the that match but yet again I get to the finals only to come up short so am I a bit upset?
Annoyed is more like it.
What did I do when I lost those matches last year?
I came back like a true Champion wrestler I am and defeated them, took this title and the rest is history. So now what? Like Breakdown a few weeks ago, I defeated a former World Champion in Thirteen, look at the fallen since I have had this belt, the names who tried and failed and suddenly now after the insult of Retribution last year where I had to face Kara Abheri in some match of revenge because she wanted to defend the honor of her best friend, Amy Chastaine in a complete waste of my time, kicking her ass and breaking her as she is now sitting somewhere prego with her douchebag who I beat to a bloody pulp also pretty much summing up the first half of my 2017 and now once again, the little people want to use me to gain their notoriety like Marie Jones and Stacy Kissinger tried to do and failed?
Retribution isn’t about the United States Championship, Mr. Drachewych…..
It’s about ME.
PAST, PRESENT & FUTURE: BORDERS IV
Regan Street has taken great pride in being the United States Champion, The Hellcat has defeated former World Champions and some of the best the SCW is known for. After the last Breakdown in Colorado, it was Regan who once again defended her Championship and this time against the dangerous Thirteen who she witnessed last year after Taking Hold of the Flame choking out her cousin, Kennedy Street. Regan was ready for the challenge, arguably one of the hottest wrestlers in the company and has been since Rise to Greatness last year, she looked to continue that success against her next challenger and she did, leaving still champion but the night didn’t get any better for her and se didn’t have much of a celebration as Mr. Drachewych announced a Triple Threat for the United States Championship against Ikiro Yoshida and Samantha Raine….
Regan was insulted.
Here is a woman that wants to fight and wrestle the best, this is a trap match, she has lost these types of matches before to inferior talent lie Taking Hold of the Flame last year or so Regan thinks, Marie Jones and Tyler Tucker are two top stars but not in Regan’s case. She wasn’t happy with the announcement, found it to be an embarrassment to her United States Championship and in many ways started to think that Sienna’s little moments with Ikiro were to blame. After what Regan saw a few weeks ago with Sienna after Valentine’s Day, Regan was going to get to the bottom of it all.
Denver, Colorado
The Morning After Breakdown
Regan waited outside the studio where Sienna was taking some promotional pictures for her latest spread. The Hellcat was in jeans, black boots, a t-shirt and leather jacket, her nails a glossy finish and long brunette hair hanging down, Laura Steinbeck walked out, she saw Regan standing there. The Fashionista wore a blue suit and black pumps, no polish on her nails….
Laura: “Regan? Is everything alright darling?”
Regan: “Everything is fine, I didn’t get to see Sienna last night so I wanted to chat with her real quick about a couple of things if you don’t mind.”
Laura: “She will be done shortly, is there anything that I can help you with?”
Regan: “Is she okay?”
Laura looked a bit derailed by that question, she wasn’t expecting it, quickly changing tones….
Laura: “Oh yes, she is just fine, staying busy and you know that entails some long hours and heavy work days, the price you pay for being the top model in the world, I can assure you darling, Sienna is on her game, we wanted to disrupt Selena a little with the video package, I think it did the trick.”
Regan: “Great stuff, I thoroughly enjoyed it. I didn’t agree with Selena handing her that match, it’s what Frost wanted but I get it. I just worry about her is all. She hasn’t been acting strange lately?”
Laura: “No, not that I noticed.”
Regan: “Okay, I’ll wait for her out here.”
Laura: “Darling, please, you’re her best friend, you can walk in anytime. Just be quiet while she is shooting, I’m sure that she will be done soon and when she is, talk to her, express your concerns, she looks up to you, listens to anything you tell her, please, be frank.”
Regan: “I will.”
Laura: “Starbucks, would you like some?”
She nods….
Regan: “Yeah, I would, thanks Laura.”
Laura: “You’re quite welcome. I’ll be back soon.”
As Laura leaves, Regan walks into the studio where Sienna is posing in some summer bikini’s coming out, Regan watches, crossing her arms and seeing her beautiful bestie pose as the flashes pepper the Heavenly Angel. Regan brushes her hair back, a serious look on her face as Sienna pauses for a moment and steps down, she is wearing a black bikini and nothing more, her nails polished white….
Sienna: “You never come to my shoots sweetie, I should either be honored, or this means you are about to go Bitch Mode and yell at me for something I didn’t do.”
Regan: “You weren’t there last night.”
Sienna “I was filming my promotional video; how did you like it?”
Regan: “It was great, I mean seriously it was, but you and I need to have a chat.”
Sienna: “About?”
Regan: “Ikiro Yoshida and Samantha Raine.”
Sienna makes a face of disgust at the sound of their names….
Sienna: “Samantha Raine? Please, she’s a pushover.”
Regan: “I don’t care about Raine, I never cared about Raine, matter of fact I never mentioned Raine even after all the shit talking she had done this last what? Year? She is getting a title shot which is bullshit but what I need to know is the story between you and Ikiro.”
Sienna: “Ewww bitch, please.”
Regan: “Sienna, I found you passed out in your room wearing his fucking socks and you can’t remember how it happened. Did you fuck him!?”
Her eyes widen, just the thought of Regan even mentioning that made her sick to her stomach, Sienna had to step away for a moment, the stress alone of not remembering that night had already taken its toll…..
Sienna: “No! I mean…. I don’t know…. But No! I didn’t, why are you drilling me about this here?”
Regan: “Because that asshole has a title shot and I think your “relationship” with him or lack thereof maybe the reason behind all of this. Raine is fodder, he wants to take the title from me, handing out charity to any peddler. It’s bullshit but you and I? We need to be on the same page, Sienna.”
Sienna: “We are, sweetie.”
Regan: “Are we? He clearly wants to put me in a situation where I can lose this belt, he doesn’t care about prestige, this is what he did last year, and I put a stop to it. Listen to me, you need to remember what happened that night and I cannot have any games or what have not between you and him. He said he was done, then he called me a bitch, I’m going to murder Ikiro Yoshida and I will shut Sam Raine up once and for all until she understands this is not 2010. I am sick of this shit, Sienna.”
Sienna: “Why do I get this feeling it is more than this with you?”
The Hellcat shakes her head, looking away for a second….
Sienna: “I know the issues you are dealing with when it comes to Jenni, you asked me to befriend her, I have done that. I can help out anyway I can but do not take this out on me, Regs.”
Regan: “Take it out on you? Sienna, why did you challenge Selena? Why did you give her the satisfaction to possibly get the last laugh? Why would you even think that was a good idea?”
Sienna: “I want to beat her; besides, she is hurt.”
Regan: “She will find a way, she always finds a way to be ready. You gave her back control, I know you want that one big win, you want to show off and tell the world that you can beat former World Champions in a brutal match like that and after what happened with Ravyn last year, I get it….”
Sienna: “Apparently you don’t. Did you make a career of backing down? Did you ever not accept a challenge or even make them when you knew it was the only option left? If I don’t stand up now, if I don’t wrestle for sixty minutes and show the entire world that I can go toe to toe with Selena Frost then what does that make me? Bree is challenging for the World Title, so is Kennedy, what about you? Sooner or later they have to give you the shot, you earned it. Me? What have I done to show anyone that I deserve a chance? I need this Regan, it’s not about giving her back control, it’s about eliminating all excuses.”
Regan is obviously frustrated, the decisions made by Mr. Drachewych have her infuriated, it doesn’t help what she is going through in her personal life, she just doesn’t want to see Sienna make that mistake and put herself in a no-win situation. She never doubted her ability, Selena just always finds a way to win…..
Regan: “Listen to me, I understand what you are trying to do. Past. Present. Future is the hottest thing in wrestling right now, but I see what that douchebag is doing, he wants to knock us down a few pegs after I have beaten all his major players, now he wants to sneak one on me with Yoshida and Raine. I see the writing on the wall, I won’t let that happen. I need reassurance from you there is nothing going on between you and the Wet Noodle. Jacob dumping you has been pretty hard, I just worry is all because I don’t want to find myself in a position where there is a conflict of interest.”
Sienna: “Regan, I would never. He left me on a date, the same night I was dumped by my fiancé. I was upset, I drank too much and blacked out, I woke up the next morning with his stupid socks on, I don’t remember those slipping on my feet, I don’t wear socks to bed but I was not naked so that is a plus. I don’t know, I will confront him if that makes you feel any better?”
Regan: “No, Sienna you stay away from him. I don’t want you getting anywhere near Ikiro, are we clear on this? The last thing I need to start worrying about is what happened and then laser focused on kamikaze the fucker.”
Reluctantly Sienna nods, she looks down, embarrassed that happened on Valentine’s Day, it was not a good day for the Heavenly Angel and she knows what Regan is going to drill about her next…..
Regan: “You are working way too much. You’re taking pills and drinking more.”
Sienna: “I’m not my parents.”
Regan: “No one ever said you were Sienna, I just worry about you is all. I have a right to be concerned over my best friend. Laura doesn’t seem to think anything is wrong, but Ms. Steinbeck is not a very good liar. If you can’t trust me? Who can you trust, Sienna?”
Sienna: “Regan, I’m fine. I may pop a sleeping pill here and there to help me get my 8 hours, I need it to stay beautiful. I may drink it with a glass of wine or two, it helps me relax.”
Regan: “I don’t want an accident to happen, I don’t want to get a phone call one day and they tell me you’re in the hospital or even dead, I have seen it thousands of times over. I care about you and I want to make sure if there is anything going on, that I can help you. Since that plane crash…..”
Sienna cuts her off….
Sienna: “The plane crash is no longer an issue sweetie. Just trust me on this, please? There is nothing going on with Ikiro Yoshida, I am not some addict and I will be fine in my Iron Woman match. I appreciate that you care and all, I am okay. Please believe me?”
Regan: “Fine…”
Sienna: “Thank you.”
The Heavenly Angel hugs Regan. The Hellcat is not entirely convinced but she must worry about her own problems in her personal life and at Retribution…..
Sienna: “I’ll catch up with you later, so we can ride together to Boulder.”
Regan: “Yeah, sure. Sounds good. Finish your little photoshoot, I’ll see you later.”
Sienna: “Love you, mean it.”
Regan: “Love you too, babe.”
Sienna gets back to the shoot, Regan starts to walk out as Laura walks in with coffee in hand, she gives one to Regan….
Regan: “Thanks.”
Laura: “Anytime darling, everything okay?”
Regan: “Can I ask you something, Laura?”
Laura: “Of course, anything.”
Regan: “How much do you care about that woman right there?”
Laura: “Like my daughter, why?”
Regan: “Then don’t lie to me about her not having issues, I can see it in her face every time she tries to convince me others. She maybe your bread and butter, she’s my best friend and I worry about her. You are the closest person she has who takes the time to look out for her. All I am asking is that you tell me what the fuck is going on with her.”
Laura closes her eyes and takes a deep breath, she opens them back up and looks right at Regan with a very stern and direct expressions….
Laura: “She is fine Regan. You worry, I am sure she appreciates that, so do I but you need to stop worrying about her. I have a handle on things darling, she will be just fine. She will be ready for Retribution, she will be well rested and what I need from you is to have a little faith in me and her. Can we do that?”
Regan: “Yeah, we can do that. Thanks for the coffee……”
Laura: “My pleasure….”
Regan: “…. Oh and Laura? If something happens to her? I will hold you directly responsible. Have a good day.”
Not another word was spoken, instead Regan walked out with her coffee as Laura watched her leave with narrowed eyes. Now that Regan was suspicious of something, she would do good on her threat, it was time for Laura to make sure that from this moment forward? Sienna was past all this, the last thing she wants is the Hellcat’s wrath.

A Few Days Ago
After the fiasco in January where Jennifer Williams, the young woman that Regan and David are trying to adopt, ran away after shop lifting and not accepting the punishment handed to her by Regan decided to try and get married in Las Vegas and failed as they were caught but for Regan Street, it was her anger issues that once again came to the forefront. The past few years she has dealt with it, admittedly getting better each time but still far away from staying calm and handling situations better than most. Regan knew that she screwed up, she understood that what she did was wrong and how I had become not only an overreaction, but it also damaged the relationship between her and Jenni. They hadn’t talked much since, Jenni had kept to herself, she continued to go to school, live her daily routine, it seemed like there may have been a corner turned but at the same time it showed that she was willing to accept this punishment of not able to see Christian anymore. Regan wanted her to concentrate on her training now, maybe that could be a way to bond again, she didn’t know if that would work or not. For Regan though she had a lot on her mind, Retribution was one of them, after all that talk and the things she’s done in the ring with the title, the last thing she needed was to falter to two wrestlers she felt didn’t deserve it….
It was time that she started to put the pieces back together again.
Wearing work out gear and sneakers, and tank top, her hair slicked back in a ponytail, standing in David Helms office, looking down at Jenni in the ring sparring with another trainee, she had just recovered from her sprained ankle and was her first set of action in a while. Her husband was filling out some charts, he had on warm ups and sneakers…..
Regan: “How has she been doing?”
David: “She’s been okay, did her exercises earlier without any issues. Looks like she has recovered from the ankle injury. Luckily it wasn’t worse.”
Regan: “She won’t even talk to me, how the hell am I supposed to train her on her first day back?”
David: “She will listen, trust me, she wants this. Much as the hate has been going on lately, she’s a kid, she will hold a grudge.”
Regan: “I hold a grudge and I’m not a kid, what’s your point?”
David: “Well, not all of us are Hellcats Regs. Give her a chance, I think this will help out, a lot. Maybe what you need is some baby steps, training her will cause her to open up more in my opinion, keep it professional, stick to the wrestling, I think you will see her slowly come out of it especially with a ton of encouragement. Be patient, do not rush this, that is the last thing you want here.”
Regan nods, her green eyes locked on Jenni who is running the ropes and trying out some moves with another student….
Regan: “Who’s the other kid?”
David: “That is Nava. She’s cute, very nice and friendly. Had a tryout match for SCW a few years ago at 18 years old, she wasn’t ready. I like her, she has a huge future ahead.”
Regan: “Yeah, Jenni sparring with someone like her will only make her better. Fuck David…. I just want this to blow over. I have too much shit on my mind right now with Retribution, I fucking hate matches like this, seriously I don’t know how you can stand the prick.”
David: “You have to give it to Olek, he’s a bastard at times but he knows how to push your buttons and you are letting him. Regan, you are a better wrestler and athlete than both Raine and Ikiro. Yes, they are highly skilled, yes they can even be seen as Champion wrestlers but you have beaten the best, they have not. Just do your thing in the ring and keep it at that. Raine was able to get a few licks in, so has Syren, Alexis, Blake, Thirteen, Selena and so many others and you answer right back. Do your thing, what you teach her? Do it yourself.”
Regan knows that David is right, the situation with Jenni is just weighing heavily on her mind since the day she picked the up from Las Vegas and hasn’t talked to her much since, that is now almost six weeks. She continues to watch Jenni….
Regan: “I know you are right, I just wish she would talk to me.”
David: “Give it time babe…. Give it time.”
Regan: “It seems like that is all I have given it, babe…..”
She closes her eyes for a second and thinks back to the day after the incident in Vegas happened. It felt like it was yesterday…..
1.17.18
Santa Monica, CA.
Regan had woken up early, she was the first up and had decided to make something that she knew Jenni liked, French Toast. She was in sweats, flip flops and a tank top, no makeup on and her hair in a bun and toe nails polished a matte navy blue. She stood in the kitchen and made breakfast, Jason came down and sat on the stool…..
Regan: “Morning kiddo….”
Jay: “Good morning.”
Regan: “Hungry?”
Jay: “Yeah. Where did you, dad and Jenni go last night?’
Regan: “We went out to see the city, how was time with your mom?”
Jay: “It was good. Mom let me watch The Avengers.”
Regan: “How exciting. I bet that was a lot of fun.”
Jay: “It was.”
Regan smiles, it was forced, she was stressing over what happened yesterday, Jenni’s ankle being sprained after back handing her was not cool at all on her part and it bothered Regan more than anything. She didn’t want to take away her time and sacrifice Jay for what was going on with Jenni though, as a mother she needed to balance the time….
Regan: “French Toast?”
Jay: “Yum!”
Regan: “Hey, do me a favor? Go get your dad up, tell him I am making him breakfast. I’m going to take this upstairs to Jenni.”
Jay: “Is she sick?”
Regan: “No munchkin, she hurt herself yesterday, clumsy me was at fault, so I don’t want her to do much walking. So, go get your dad up, pounce on him, make him jump out of bed.”
Jay giggles a little as Regan smiles….
Regan: “Okay?”
Jay: “Done!”
The seven-year-old runs up the stairs, Regan takes this opportunity to make her way to Jenni’s room with a tray in hand, she has orange juice, milk, French Toast and maple sausage. She doesn’t knock on the door, instead she opens it, Jenni is still asleep, her bright green eyes slowly open, her ankle taped up and elevated. She sits up….
Regan: “Hey, sorry to wake you, I wanted to try out this new recipe for Breakfast and well, after yesterday I figured you could use something to eat, I made your favorite, French Toast.”
Jennifer doesn’t say anything, instead she just looks away defiantly. Regan figured she wouldn’t want to speak to her anyway, it would be a long shot, but she at least had to try with this gesture showing Jenni that she does indeed still love her and wants the young woman to be a part of her life. Regan places the tray comfortably on Jenni, she walks over and turns on the TV, then hands the remote to Jenni who doesn’t take it. Regan places it by her hand and sits on the bed, Jennifer never turns to look at her…..
Regan: “What happened last night, was my fault and I am sorry for that. I never meant to hurt you Jenni. I sometimes get out of control and I said this to you in the car, I will say it again, you don’t have to talk to me right now, I understand why you are upset and possibly hate me, I get it Jenni. We all make mistakes, I made one and I will do everything that I can to fix it, that much I can promise you. A lot of things went wrong, we were both at fault, I should have handled it differently, I didn’t and that falls on me and only me. I just need you to know that I do love you and I hope I didn’t ruin this between us and if I did I will do whatever I can in my power to fix it at any cost. Enjoy your breakfast and if you need anything, holler.”
Regan stands up, she keeps her eyes on Jenni for a moment who is still defiantly looking away. Regan sighs and walks out of the room. Jenni sits there, staring at the tv before grabbing a fork and knife and cutting into the French Toast. Regan makes her way down the stairs where David and Jay are playing around in the living room, a vision that brings a smile to her face even if things are not as perfect as they once seemed….
Ante Up Academy
A Few Days Ago
Regan closes her eyes for a moment and takes a deep breath, it has been that way with Jenni since then. She hasn’t said much, Regan has also been away on the road, wrestling so there has been only a few days where she has been home. Jenni with David was fine, she hadn’t been ibn trouble, was very respectful and still showed a desire to be adopted by the Helms but the grudge she had for Regan still ran deep and it was killing The Hellcat…..
David: “Regan….”
Regan: “Huh?”
David: “You blanked out for a second, everything alright?”
Regan: “Yeah, yeah everything is okay. Just thinking about things is all. David, I did something yesterday.”
David: “What’s that?”
Regan: “I went to go see Cannon’s.”
David sits up, a bit surprised that Regan would actually take the initiative and go see the Cannon’s especially Christian. She turns to David who stands up and walks over to her….
Regan: “I went and talked to Christian. I felt like I needed to after all that had happened in Vegas. I don’t know, it was just eating me inside, I didn’t know what to think about going to see them, I didn’t know how I would be received. I had to talk to the kid though, it was the only way I felt I could ultimately fix this whole mess that I am sick and tired of. I have so much on my plate, I need this, David.”
David: “What happened?”
Regan turns and faced David, she takes a second before she starts speaking…..
Regan: “Yesterday, I decided to…..”
Yesterday
Hermosa Beach, CA.
Since nothing had really changed for Regan after she had repeatedly tried to talk to Jennifer and she tried to avoid her at every cost and rightfully so, Regan understood that most of the angst shown by Jennifer was directed at her not only for the strike and sprained ankle that came from it but most importantly stopping the relationship she had with Christian Cannon, bluntly put, those two were in love. Regan had put a stop to it, she felt Christian was being a bad influence on her after first thinking he was actually great for her especially during her transition time…..
He was and still is, up until now, she didn’t see that but watching how down she has been and quiet, not even taking the time to speak with her, Regan knew that she had to do something. The Hellcat in jeans, thong sandals and a t-shirt, baseball cap with her toe nails polished silver and long hair hanging out from the back of the cap, had called ahead and asked if she could come over and talk to Christian. She knocked on the door, Kelcey opened it wearing a purple sundress and flip flop, her nails a glossy finish with her cropped hair hanging down…
Kelcey: “Hey.”
Regan: “Hey, thanks for letting me come over, are you sure it’s cool I talk to Christian?”
Kelcey: “Yeah, he’s a grown man, he can handle himself. He doesn’t know you are coming, I think it’s better that way. He’s out back on the beach with Chris.”
Regan: “Thanks…”
Regan walks in, she seems a bit quiet around Kelcey, the retired wrestler knows why. The last time they were together, Regan broke down an emotional mess and is probably humiliated by it, Kelcey leads her to the back-sliding glass door where she opens it. Regan gives her a half smile and nods, stepping outside…
Kelcey: “Listen… We all have our moments of weakness Regan, you shouldn’t be embarrassed by them.”
Regan: “Yeah… right. Easy for you to say, you’re not a cunt.”
Kelcey smirks as Regan walks out to the beach, she takes off her sandals and walks barefoot in the sand. She sees Chris kicking a soccer ball to Christian, he swains and falls at Regan’s feet, she picks up the ball and looks up at a very surprised Christian. Chris walks over to her and places his hand on her shoulder….
Christian: “What is she doing here?”
Chris: “She came to talk, son.”
Christian: “Talk or slap me?”
Any other time or person Regan may have taken them up on the offer, but she bites her tongue knowing that she probably deserved that…
Chris: “Oka-“
Regan: “It’s okay, I can take it from here, Chris… thanks.”
Chris: “Alright, if you need anything, I will be right over there.”
Regan: “Will do.”
Chris grabs the soccer ball and walks off, Regan turns back to Christian who is shaking his head and walks away from her toward the water, he has on shorts and a tank top….
Regan: “Please hear me out, Christian…”
Christian: “Hear you out? Why? Does what you did to Jenni and how you reacted toward us not have any bearing on this and my decision to simply not want to talk to you right now?”
Regan: “It does, you can tell me right that you want nothing to do with me or this conversation, tell me to piss off and I will. I am a woman of my word Christian, but I want you to consider this, I came here to talk to you, that in itself, should warrant a few minutes of your time at the very least.”
He pauses for a second, she does make a valid point. He sighs and turns to her, waiting for Regan to speak….
Christian: “Okay, talk.”
Regan: “Thanks. It was very hard for me to come here today. I didn’t separate you two to be a bitch, I did it to help her, I felt that was the best course of action for the time being. I am running out of things to do with her and maybe taking you out of the equation would make things better because let’s face it, lately you have been there when she’s been in trouble and you can’t deny that so how am I supposed to feel?”
Christian: “Maybe you could have started by trusting me? Not instantly assuming the worse because I’m a guy? I thought that after the summer last year, we were on the same page. I helped you find Jenni and without me? She could have been in a lot of trouble, a lot worse than any police station.”
It was Regan’s turn to say nothing with the young Cannon continuing…
Christian: “Whether you want to accept it or not Regan, Jenni is a very emotional person who rides on her impulses. She understands right from wrong Regan, but to put it bluntly she reacts to you.”
Regan: “To me? She’s the one driving me mad!?”
Christian: “Is she? Maybe if you were not so hard on her. All you try to do is control her and this was no exception. You hit her, Regan!”
Regan: “And you don’t know how much I regret that.”
Christian: “Actions speak louder than words Regan. Why did you come here to talk to me then? The person you should be fixing things with is her.”
Regan: “I disagree. The person I need to be fixing shit with is you. Why? Because when I look at you I see a kid who isn’t even old enough to buy alcohol, which Is why I found it I hated admitting to myself you were right, you are good for her, I see that now. It took me some time to get it, I don’t want to alienate her, I am trying to make her my official daughter, David and I are trying to adopt her. You’re just a kid and maybe you just don’t get it.”
Christian: “I don’t get anything about adoption? Hello, you’re looking at an adopted kid here. He might be my dad, but…”
Regan: That isn’t what I’m talking about, I don’t want her to be like I was, what she is doing, that was me….”
Regan turns to the side and looks down the beach crossing her arms… There is a silence for a moment until Christian speaks up…
Christian: “Well all things considered I think you turned out just fine, Regan.”
Regan: “You think so? Being a natural bitch is okay? Getting satisfaction out of hurting people is okay? Being the biggest cunt in professional wrestling is okay? Having this anger and rage which at times I cannot control is okay? No… it’s not okay Christian.”
Regan turns back to face Christian who is continuing to look out at the ocean…
Regan: “Jennifer is a very loving and sweet girl, but I know she’s in a dark place, I’ve seen it in myself, so I know those signs… I was lucky to find David, he grounded me, he taught me so much on how to be a decent human being because I was so fucking mad with the rest of the world. The love he gave me is the love I want to give her.”
Christian: “Sounds like you have all the answers you need.”
Regan: “I don’t have all of them, I don’t think I ever really will not with this parenthood stuff… I just get so angry and controlling when I feel like she isn’t listening to me. When I found out that you two were about to get married I lost it and you wanna know why? I felt it was being done out to spite me.”
Christian sighs, shaking his head, he looks back at Regan, he can see her point of view, at the same time, he is madly in love with Jennifer and is bias to the matter….
Christian: “To spite you, you think we’re that petty? I can see how It might have seemed that way, but we didn’t do it to spite you.”
Regan: “Then why then, help me to understand?”
Christian: “We did it out of fear that you would never let us see each other again or at least until Jenni left the house and moved out on her own. We were afraid Regan, so that was our idea, our way to “beat” the system best we could. We didn’t have any ill intentions, we only want to be together, that is all.”
Regan looks down and sighs she is learning things that she didn’t expect or think she would, she just wanted to talk…
Regan: “So you’re telling me you two were willing to go that far to prevent separating you two?”
Christian: “Cliché I know, very Romeo and Juliet of us… You can be safe to know we weren’t looking to kill ourselves like them though.”
Regan: “I bloody hope not…”
A small smile crept onto the face of Regan when saying that, she could tell he was trying to lighten the mood a little which showed she had to be making some progress with this talk to him….
Regan: “Look, I was angry, mad even at the whole thing. I ran away too once and thought I was going to be a renegade, break some rules and almost died doing so. I was never a drug addict and shit, but I did other things to survive that I am not proud of Christian, being a runaway does that, it’s not fun at all.”
Christian: “I understand that…”
Regan: “Of course you do, you’re a smart kid, smarter than I was at that age. But all the same I’m not telling you this to lecture or come off as the snarky know it all though many times I can be. What happened no matter how you sugar coat it and even what I did? It was wrong, you encouraged her to skip town and stole money from your parents….”
The conversation felt like a rollercoaster to Regan, there was up’s where it looked like they were getting onto the same page and then moments like that would shift instantly. She wasn’t sure what he would say to any of that but was going to find out….
Christian: “And I regret it every single day. I can’t go back and change that now, all I can do is win back their trust just like you need to do with Jenni. They told me you were physically abused by your dad, I was sorry to hear that but not shocked, I could see it in your face and eyes. I had a friend back home who suffered like that, I wanted to help but couldn’t, I was only a kid.”
Regan: “They shouldn’t have told you that…”
Christian: “Don’t be mad at them, they wanted me to understand that’s all… But I had seen the expression, someone who has been hurt before. Is that what you want Jenni to experience?”
Regan: “No…. God no, the last thing I want is to hurt her, don’t be a shit, I’m not that big of a bitch… Okay maybe I am to others but not her, I don’t want that.”
Christian: “Then talk to her.”
Regan: “That’s just the thing she is not talking to me or acknowledging I even exist. We don’t talk anymore, I cook something to eat and she takes it to her room, she won’t tell me how her day was, we don’t laugh and cry together anymore, tell jokes or hear her giggle when I’m trying too hard to be a mother. I do not get any of that and I fucking missing it all man… I don’t want to lose her and I’m not the type of person who comes begging or asking for forgiveness, but this is different. It’s bigger than me, I want her back.”
She sighs, placing her hands in the jean pockets and walking down to the water, dropping her sandals and soaking her feet….
Regan: “I want for her to have everything I didn’t. I want her to not be me, Christian. She deserves so much more than I. Do you think I like hurting people? Even my old friends? Okay, there are a few exceptions where their pain brings me joy but that is for another day… I love her and I hate to admit this but I was wrong about you, okay. I tarred you with the wrong brush. I was wrong about Kelcey, Chris…. This is a good family, you are a good kid and I don’t want to be your enemy.”
Christian is surprised at Regan’s confession, she turns to him and brushes her hair back, she begins to second guess herself which isn’t like her but extends her hand to him…..
Regan: “I went over the edge, I crossed lines I never should have, that was my mistake. I blamed you for everything when I know that Jenni was in the wrong with that matter of shoplifting, she knew better than that and instead of listening to her reasoning, I chastised her for it. I made a lot of mistakes Christian, this was one of my biggest ones. I want you to be a part of her life, she needs you, you need her, and I need for both of you to need each other if that makes sense.”
He looks at her hand, he starts to laugh a little before he hugs Regan who is caught by surprise. She hugs him back and breathes a sigh of relief while Chris and Kelcey watch from afar….
Chris: “She’s a real cunt in front of that camera, love. But I’ll give her credit where it’s due. I’m actually kind of shocked she is here apologizing to Christian, I didn’t see this coming.”
Kelcey: “She is…. But that’s because you don’t see the loving woman she is. I did see it coming, I knew she would come to her senses and try to fix this, she is smarter than she realizes it just takes her a little while to put the pieces together. I know, I have been on the other side of her anger but that doesn’t outweigh her motherly instincts which I know she has whether she wants to admit them or not. She wants to raise Jenni, she is learning, we have all been there, even me.”
Chris: “We both have.”
Chris smiles while he places his hand on Kelcey’s stomach, she looks down and smiles, then back at Chris…..
Kelcey: “Not yet.”
They kiss each other while Regan and Christian stand by each other. Regan grabs her sandals and starts to head back….
Regan: “I won’t tell her we talked, instead I’d like you to come over to the house before I head out for Retribution, come see her, I think she would like that.”
Christian: “I will, thank you Regan.”
Regan: “No, thank you Christian for being a smarter person than me. I’ll see you around, kiddo.”
Christian: “Yeah, you will… mom…”
Regan: “Don’t push it.”
She smirks and shakes her head before heading back toward the house. She feels much better about what she has done, a huge weight has been lifted off her shoulders as she heads back, this was the first of many steps to fix things with Jennifer and show that she can too admit when she is wrong…..
Ante Up Academy
A Few Days Ago
Regan: “… and that’s it. He’s coming over tomorrow night, we’ll surprise her, maybe this will gap the bridge between us, at least for the start. I didn’t know what else to do and at first, I felt like I could possibly be wrong, honestly, I do not feel wrong about making this and instead I felt pretty damn good about it. I just hope that she can see that I am trying.”
David walks up to her, proud of his wife and embraces Regan….
David: “I’m proud of you babe, to take that step was a huge leap because I know you were pretty stern about that position. I am happy you decided to act, just don’t be disappointed if at first she isn’t all warmed up to you, she may think this is to get her attention back, I don’t know.”
Regan: “That motivated me, yeah I’m not going to stand here and lie, say it had nothing to do with my decision, it does but at first that was the motive behind it yet as the conversation progressed, I realized that I was doing the right thing and she deserved to be happy.”
David: “Agreed, it will take time, but she will see that effort you put forth and really try her best to make this work. She is a smart girl that loves us both and we will try the best we can to get that adoption finalized.”
Regan: “She still wants to go through with it?”
David nods and smiles….
David: “Yeah, she does and…..”
The phone suddenly rings in his office, he stops and grabs it as Regan turns to look back down at Jenni’s sparring match. Her eyes widen…..
David: “Yeah Matty?”
Regan: “David!”
He looks up as Regan runs out of the office and down the stairs, he drops the phone and follows her, Regan runs to the ring and pushes everyone out of the way as Matty is trying to get in the ring, Jenni is kicking an unconscious Nava repeatedly in the corner screaming at her…..
Regan: “JENNIFER!”
Regan slides in the ring with cat like quickness, the rest of the students were watching, they quickly drag Nava out of the ring as Matty was on the other side of the gym. Regan brings a kicking and screaming Jenni and throws her in the corner…..
Regan: “What the fuck was that!? That girl was unconscious! What did you do to her!?”
Jenni: “I did the exact same thing you would do!”
Regan’s eyes widen, she slowly backs up realizing that Jennifer has been watching her actions the entire time in the SCW and never realizing the impact it had on the young one. David checks on Nava who hasn’t moved, Matty calls 911, he slides in the ring…..
David: “What the hell was that!? She is a trainee! She is a young woman like you trying to make it here!?’’
Jenni: “I don’t see you yelling at her for doing the same thing!? She can go around breaking spraining ankles on me, Selena Frost and hurt others and that is praised but this bitch slaps me in the face and that’s okay!? I am here to wrestle! I am here to be your protégé! You think I’m weak!”
Regan: “No…. Jennifer I never said that….”
Jenni: “No, you just slap me around like a bitch!? I thought you would be proud of me for what I did, follow your lead, ruthless! That is what you told me right? Never to follow anyone’s path, make your own? That is what I am doing! I am your daughter now! I’m going to start acting like it!”
Regan’s eyes stay widened, she doesn’t even know what to say as Jennifer rolls out of the ring, Regan just stands there not knowing what to say, completely shocked. David looks over at her…..
David: “Regan?”
She says nothing, watching Jenni head back to the locker room…..
David: “Regan!?”
Her green eyes turn toward David who tries to calm her down….
David: “Are you okay?”
She just nods, looking away before dropping to the mat and rolling out of the ring, she heads toward the door as David looks on, he heads to the locker room to speak with Jennifer after getting the okay from Matty that Nava is starting to move, all while his wife simply leaves.
Santa Monica, CA.
A Few Hours Later
Regan and Mikaela were not exactly on the same page when it came to Dylan Howell, their half-brother who was injured by none other than Andrew Raynes causing him to be out of action, possibly permanently. It was no secret that Dylan had indeed become unstable, Mikaela was shocked that Regan didn’t try to kill Andrew Raynes herself and take what she felt was a measure of payback, instead she seemed to have let it go and it angered Mikaela, she was expecting them to get at least some sort of revenge for what happened….
Regan never acted on it and when asked if she would help and support Mikaela with Dylan, Regan had seemed to brush it off. Regan was always a big proponent of Dylan, always there for him, she fought alongside her brother many times, their bond was tight but for Mikaela, it was about family and those who supported the,….
Regan was not.
Mikaela kept quiet about it, with Retribution coming to town and the chance for Regan to continue making history with the United States Championship, Mikaela had tried to steer clear from the subject but enough was enough. Regan drove home, Jennifer was going to ride back with David and help close the place down and after the fight they had, it was best Regan drove back alone. As she pulled in she noticed Mikaela’s car sitting there, she wondered what her sister was doing, pulling in, she shuts off the Mustang and gets out….
Regan: “What do you want Miks, I’m not really in the mood.”
Mikaela: “I thought you were training at Ante Up? I called up there and David said you left. Regan, you can’t take Ikiro and Raine lightly. They got the best of you at Breakdown.”
Regan: “Please, that was two on one. I can handle them both when it counts.”
Mikaela: “I know that, is everything okay?”
Regan: “No, it’s not and it is what it is. What’s up?”
Mikaela: “I need your help.”
Regan: “Help? For what?”
Mikaela: “Dylan.”
She shakes her head and starts to make her way inside…..
Mikaela: “I can’t afford all his bills and his money is tied up with alimony and other things. Regan he is your brother!”
The Hellcat stops, she turns back to face Mikaela….
Regan: “What did I say when you decided to even entertain that? I told you it was a bad idea to take care of him. You can’t do it alone Mikaela, let mom do it.”
Mikaela: “I hadn’t planned on doing it alone, I thought you were going to help me.”
Regan: “You thought wrong, Miks. Before making decisions about Dylan who is a grown ass man that can take care of yourself, maybe you should have thought about asking me first. I can’t do it.”
She turns to start walking away, Mikaela again tries to stop her….
Mikaela: “You are afraid?”
Regan: “What?”
Mikaela: “You’re afraid. At what has happened to Kelcey and now Dylan. You can’t stand to see Dylan like that because that could happen to you? Yet we try to hurt people all the time, you can’t do it, you can’t help Dylan because the reality is you could end up like that someday.”
Regan: “Don’t be ridiculous! I love my brother!”
Mikaela: “Then show it or wait, I guess Jenni is more important than your own blood!?”
Regan is about to back hand her sister, Mikaela braces for the hit that never comes as The Hellcat stops herself, shaking and trembling in anger….
Mikaela: “Really!? You’re going to hit me!? Over Dylan!? Over Jenni!? Do you know what mom is going to do with him!? She will live off his disability until it runs out and then, he will end up in some fucking alleyway!? Our brother!? Regan… don’t do this. Please….”
Regan: “I can’t Mikaela…. I can’t. I don’t want to fuck that up too.”
Mikaela’s eyes widen as Regan tries to fight off some tears and instead storms into the house, slamming the door. Her younger sister stands there for a moment finally understanding why Regan won’t take the responsibility of taking care of her brother….
She just doesn’t want to mess it up….
And Mikaela knows in her heart….
Regan never would but it is her job to convince her….
If that is even possible.
SCENE FADES
My world can feel like it is falling apart. One thing I have learned on how to deal with it is in the ring, that is my platform to let out some steam, to show that when I am in the squared Circle I am THE BEST. The United States Championship might be a secondary title to the eyes of many, to me it is THE title because of it’s champion. My personal life and the things I deal with can be shit at times, drives me insane and yet it makes me a stronger person. To know my road here has been marred in whiners, complainers and controversy they like to start and spread, for me the most important aspect of my job is what I say, I do, and I can’t get in trouble for it. Does the boss like to punish me? Yeah, he gets off watching me squirm but guess what? Everything finds a way to work itself out and he may get a couple of minor victories here and there, come Retribution he will once again sit there and pick his brain again trying to figure out who is next to send out to me after I destroy his two little comeback stories….
As for being a mother, a sister and a wife?
There is still so much to grasp and before you know it?
I’ll be everything that I say I am and no one can tell me different.
THE CAT’S PAW
THE GREAT, THE PATHETIC & THE BUFFOON
The Scene Opens….
Franciscan friars established Mission Nuestra Señora de la Purísima Concepción de Acuña also Mission Concepcion in 1716 as Nuestra Señora de la Purísima Concepción de los Hainais in East Texas. The mission was originally meant to be a base for converting the Hasinai to Catholicism and teaching them what they needed to know to become Spanish citizens. The friars moved the mission in 1731 to San Antonio. After its relocation most of the people in the mission were Paialats who spoke a Coahuiltecan language. Catholic Mass is still held every Sunday.
On October 28, 1835, Mexican troops under Colonel Domingo Ugartechea and Texian insurgents led by James Bowie and James Fannin fought the Battle of Concepcion here. Historian J.R. Edmondson describes the 30-minute engagement as “the first major engagement of the Texas Revolution.”
Mission Concepcion consists of a sanctuary, nave, convento, and granary. When originally built, brightly painted frescos decorated both the exterior and interior of the building. Traces of the frescoes still exist on the weathered facade of the building. Experts restored some of the artwork on the interior ceilings and walls of the convento in 1988. The Archdiocese of San Antonio completed another restoration of the mission’s interior in 2010 which exposed more frescoes in the sanctuary and nave. Here is where we find the beautiful and fiery United States Champion, Regan Street, the resident Hellcat of the SCW and a woman who has been on a roll since winning the Championship back at Rise to Greatness and will continue to step forward hoping to make it to the big even still the champion. In recent months, Samantha Raine had been talking about Regan, who has practically ignored her for many reasons. Ikiro Yoshida is another who has been infatuated with Regan’s best friend, Sienna Swann and has shown interest in her Past. Present. Future partner which Regan has taken much exception to. Now going into Retribution, one of the bigger events of the year, we see Regan a bit annoyed, here she was hoping to get another former World Champion and instead she has been put in a situation where Mr. Drachewych has placed her in a very dangerous situation, a triple threat where she doesn’t have to take the fall. The worst part is the last time she was in a match like this she lost….
It also triggered her to get the match at the biggest PPV of the year where she capitalized and won. Now she finds herself once again trying to keep her championship and not lose it by another fluke to two individuals she feels do not deserve it. Wearing designer jeans and a black halter top with wedge sandals, her toe nails polished silver, with her long brunette hair hanging down holding her United States Championship. Behind her is Mikaela Street, her younger sister. She has on jeans, a white halter top and thong sandals, her nails polished white and long blonde hair hanging down. Mikaela gestures for the recording to begin….
REC:
Regan takes a second, looking up at the Mission before turning back and addressing the camera, her beaming green eyes focus as she starts to speak in her sexy yet very direct voice….
“Everything is BIGGER in Texas is what they say? Rachel Tatum Lee’s ass is big. Daisy Lee’s boobs are big, Ace Marshall’s……
Never mind we will stop at the Lee’s.
Texas, behind me is a Mission, ran by Friars as a place of peace, a sanctuary while wars raged, and travelers sought shelter. People come here to die, okay, when their journey is over, this is the place where they spend the rest of their dying days reminiscing about all the shit they never accomplished. Is that going to be me? Ask Thirteen. Ask Jake Starr, Ask Alexis Quinne or our World Champion Syren. Ask Selena Frost who all came for one reason, what I hold in my arms and each of them FAILED miserably. What did the names I mention all have in common? Former or current World Champions. I have made this claim time and time again, that I am the BEST wrestler in the SCW by far, no matter how many LITTLE bumps I have hit on the road, I come back stronger than ever this title is why no one talks about Syren.
Let me explain something to you all so that we can easily understand, I elevated this belt to a higher standard and status than any other Championship in the company so this is why I am pissed off, why I stand here shaking my head and scratching my ass wondering who in the fuck thought putting me up against Ikiro Yoshida and Samantha Raine in a Triple Threat match for MY United States Championship was not only a good idea but a Main Event worthy match on one of the BIGGEST PPV’s of the fucking year!?
Where did we go wrong?
This time last year, I was being put up against Kara Aberi?
Do you know how insulting that was to me? The caliber of champion and athlete I am to basically walk into that PPV knowing I was going to win and dominate that little bitch? Maybe it was the fact the SCW treated this belt like a mid-card title where hacks like Tyler Tucker, Jinn, Stacy Kissinger and Craig Thomas were constantly being looked to be a part of this? I didn’t include Marie Jones because she is a former World Champion, I didn’t include Amy Chastaine because that royal cunt has been ducking me since Rise to Greatness 2016. I took this belt and made it something again. I hold the title and look at the challengers that come and try to take it. Was Syren or Selena or Jake vying for the belt in 2017? Were they contenders, no, if anything this title was on the same lines as the Women’s and that is defunct now.
Ladies and gentlemen, I’m a straight shooter, I won’t sugarcoat anything, you want that, go watch Dark Fantasy promote or Selena Frost. I am going to tell not only how it is but how it should and how it WILL be. Since 2012 when I stepped foot here there has been a hierarchy. Groups of wrestlers who always find themselves in the Main Event. Some are good, they earned that spot through time and a great win and loss record, they carry the prestige card on them, a novelty act at times, look at Jake Starr, some are great ass kissers and brown nosers, they know how to play the game, look at Selena Frost. Finally, there are those who have busted their asses since the minute they stepped foot in the ring, taking their licks from the likes of Marina Trent, Shilo Valiant, Rachel Foxx, Katie Steward and Brittany Lohan to name a few. I earned my spot here by kicking ass and never once conforming to the machine of the SCW….
And that is why I go through hell here.
Last year was BULLSHIT.
Unlike so many others, I took a loss to Selena Frost for the World Title and they buried me in mid-card Hell while she couldn’t breathe properly for 4 months, I watched every single hack that came through the pipe get a shot at this prestigious title that has so much rich history, it became a throwaway, a Pre-Show attraction and since they were not going to give me the chance to be a World Champion again, I was determined to take this belt and MAKE it what it once was and even a step further to be on the same line as the World Title…..
I have beaten your last TWO World Champions, that makes me THE Champion of Champions. So, I ask….
Samantha Raine?
Ikiro Yoshida?
Are you fucking serious?”
With a scowl formed on her face, the beautiful Hellcat rolls her eyes and paces a little in front of the Mission. Mikaela looks on, loving the fire of her sister, knowing that after the last Breakdown she is not very happy about how things went down. Regan is passionate about being a champion, she takes great pride in the United States Title hence why she has held it since RTG 2017. She stops and sighs, looking back at the camera and speaking….
“Past. Present. Future….
Oh, I bet you get a kick out of that don’t you Samantha? See, I have followed your career or what it has been since the GDW. I know you like to harp and sing your praises from eight years ago, you age well by the way. As I was saying, reminding us all the 16 stages of Hell match and all the great nobodies you beat because you see, if they never stepped foot in the SCW? To me they are nobody. I will give you credit where it is due, you punch hard and caught me by surprise at the last Breakdown, of course that Japanese fool gave you the assist but whatever. Samantha, there is a reason I have been quiet the last few weeks since this match was announced, there is a reason why I never really responded to your constant threats and jabs, there is a reason why your bitching, moaning and grunting about us and my family has gone unanswered…..
We don’t care.
Do you know how many people come into this company and call me out? I know you have had issues with the Streets since the days of Twitter and IWC, GDW though I was in college back when you were Hall of Faming it up and winning all these matches and making a name for yourself in the annuls of….
Who gives a shit.
You know what you are? A small fish in a big pond, hell you are not even a small fish, you are bait, chum, get the picture. You have talent, some amazing moves depending on your mood or sweat levels, hulkifying when you can and mixing it up with all the different entrances and music to go with it, that’s called OCD bitch. Thing is Sam, you have wanted this match with me for so long, looking for that one big win outside your GDW dream bubble so that you can claim that you’ve arrived. Problem is you have the talent to be a champion….
You’re just a fucking idiot.
Past. Present. Future.
Look at those words for a second Sam and what do you see? The Past? Yes, we all know you live in it, nothing that you did back then has any bearing in the here and now, my history came from here, I have bled SCW since the first day I slipped on some wrestling boots. Everything I have done in this company is the reason I stand as United States Champion. I have been building my legacy while you have been frolicking yours. Take time off, going on vacation, telling the world one day you will be back, the model of inconsistencies though lately you picked up a few big wins…. Hooray…. Bravo, you beat Ace Marshall, Former World Champion and lost in Wonderland right now, here’s a newsflash, unlike ACE, I don’t look past anyone. He’s a clown that wrestles when he feels like it, a World Champion when given the chance, always fighting to the level of his competition, I hope you don’t think I am Ace Marshall who I have beaten at his very best because even at my worst you don’t stand a chance.
I’m not Ace, I am fucking Regan Street, THE Hellcat of the SCW. I have been beating bitches like you since I started here, always coming into MY company telling us how great they are or will be because XYZ was better here or there, shut up Raine. Tell the truth, tell them all exactly why you hate me so much, why you have been calling me and my family out since the day you arrived….
Tell them!
No, okay, I will. It’s not because I’m such an insufferable bitch, it is because you WANT to be Regan Street.”
She cracks a smirk, brushing her hair back and glancing over at Mikaela who winks. Regan chuckles again, taking the threat of this match very serious for one reason, it is a Triple Threat and Regan doesn’t even have to be pinned for the Championship to change hands. She gets her posture back, looks back into the camera and continues to speak….
“What I find hilarious in all of this is you actually believe in that little peanut brain of yours that I am not ready for you? That I don’t know how to beat you? Is that how you are coming at me? Approaching this match like you are some unbeatable force, “Storm” whatever shit you spill that will turn out to be nothing more than a few rain drops? I have beaten the best this company has to offer and here you are so happy that you beat a former World Champion…..
We can look at every title you have wrestled for and why you lost. From Sienna Swann to the Adrenaline Championship, those are levels and now you are at the highest and with failing grades all the way up to the top, your heart and desire?
Mean nothing to me for in the end it is about one thing Sam, the real, never need to prove to the phonies! Results is what matter and I get them every single time I go out to the ring! You want to be me. My stature, the respect I get eats you up inside because no matter how much they hate me Sam? They all respect me in that ring. They come with their A Game, like you are right now and when they see me on the card? I make that match a Main Event no matter the talent level. You can’t stand that the spotlight isn’t on you and it hasn’t been in years, it’s on me some much I get tanned from it. There is a reason we never faced Sam…..
I’m on a whole different plain than you.
I AM THE PRESENT, YOU live in the PAST and the FUTURE does NOT include YOU as United States Champion. I don’t need podcasts, I don’t care about answering fans, I do it all in the ring. You are jealous of the Streets, wanting what Past. Present. Future represent and when Sunday rolls around and I end your little charade to become United States Champion….
No storm, it ends in a CATastrophe, Sam.
See, though, you’re not the only one and this is why the match can suddenly change course and one of you two monkeys could walk out as Champion and I wouldn’t even be involved in the decision. Ikiro Yoshida, you called me a bitch and then baseball slide kicked me last week. I wrestled you and won by count out not too long ago, you have spirit, unlike Sam who’s a fucktard, you have a good sense of what is going on, not some dreamer who thinks she is going to swoop right in and take my belt after I have defended this against the top talent here. You are in this match because of Sienna Swann and my relationship, let’s not lie to ourselves. Both of you were gifted this opportunity after Mr. Drachewych tried to soften me up against Thirteen in hopes I would lose but that didn’t happen so Ikiro, now we go for another round and this time, I don’t give a damn what anyone wants, this is about my title and when you come after something that is mine? I will do whatever it takes to keep it. Sienna doesn’t want you, having the chance to impress her, what did you do instead, jackass?
You left her in the middle of a date that to this day I don’t get why she did it. Charity? Maybe she felt sorry and sacrificed her engagement and lost her fiancé due to your meddling. What is it with you man? First it was Brittany Lohan, not in a million years did I ever think anyone can break yet you did? Now Sienna Swann? Or maybe it is other pretty women in the SCW and Sienna was only the next stop? You are a popular guy, people flock to you, they think you are funny, I do too, a real comedian, the court jester of the SCW, even being voted in to wrestle for the World Championship against that puissant, Jake Starr……
Well now Ikiro, let me ask you what you plan to accomplish?
This isn’t Karaoke and after I kick you in the mouth, you’ll be lucky to sip water.”
She bites down on her jaw, Regan Street doesn’t not like Ikiro Yoshida at all. She thinks he is a pest but respects his ability in the ring. She has been in the ring, taken some of his best punches and kicks, he is a tough bastard, so she knows what to expect. Both wrestlers bring a different style and she can see that they could even work together to eliminate her and then go after the belt themselves, either way Regan will not go into this match halfheartedly. She looks up with narrowed green eyes….
“I don’t like you and what you have tried to do with Sienna. Your cute little jokes, your whole Golden Triangle fiasco, there is NO place for that in wrestling. Sienna Swann is a FUTURE World Champion, she is wrestling in the biggest match of her career against Selena Frost in a 60-Minute Iron Woman match, the last thing she needs is distractions so you see, not only am I coming to defend my title, I am going to beat you within an inch of your life so there is no way in hell you will be a factor in that match. Past. Present. Future, we stand for the three eras of wrestling, I hate circus clowns, I hate people who do NOT take this sport serious! I will not tolerate it one bit! Josh Hudson is a pioneer for this sport, he was the past who built the foundation for people like me Yoshida! Like Sienna Swann! We are not comedy acts!
We don’t chase Lizard Kings, we don’t call ourselves after facial hair, we aren’t fat, talent less love struck and oily fucks that only care about getting laid! We are wrestlers! You want to tweet your shit, make remarks and post GIFS, got for it, we don’t care and while you are doing that? Surfing and looking like a dumbass, I am in the gym training, I am planning out my next move and I will be damned if I will talk about you two like this is something you earned!
Thank Mr. Drachewych that his hatred for me supersedes what a real wrestling promoter should do! I am the standard bearer here Ikiro and I will protect my friend with my life, do you understand me!? We both know what transpired behind closed doors, I will not air dirty laundry, instead I will simply go down to the ring like I always have and do my job, win my matches and leave Champion until Drachewych finds another “suitable” wrestler to challenge me?
No, for when this is over Ikiro, I will have killed two birds with one stone….
Then?
The Past will stay intact!
The Present will stay intact!
The Future will stay intact!
And all that is left around me? Is two pathetic people who were sold the dream and lived the nightmare.”
Regan holds up the United States Championship, staring right into the camera with her narrowed green eyes…..
