“There are times when I look up at the ceiling, lying in bed with my feet over the covers, trying to find the cool side of the pillow, funny how when you going to sleep you’re all nice, snug and warm under the covers and by the time the morning rolls around, you’re practically butt ass naked with the fan on high. As the fan twirls though, my eyes wandering, wanting to scream loud as I can in anger and frustration, I start to think at the reasons why. In my time in the SCW, people have called me a very angry woman, a raging bitch and some have even gone as far to call me crazy and psychotic. When a person hates failure, they loathe not being to be able to finish what they started, it suddenly starts to take an emotional toll on someone’s psyche, often finding themselves unhappy with a situation and yearning for nothing more than a little payback, revenge or simple retribution. I will never claim to be perfect at anything, sure, I have been here long enough to have made quite a lot of accomplishments and yet here I am standing around wondering what I must do to finally be at peace, take a look back at my career with a smile on my face, content on what I accomplished.
The scary part of all this, I have seen so many promising wrestlers come and go, yet I am still here wanting to win a Taking Hold of the Flame, Main Event a Rise to Greatness and finally become a Supreme Champion. Instead I’m witness to Ace Marshall, Alistaire Allocco, Giovanni Aries and James Evans being the last four winners, throw Ravyn Taylor in there too and we start to see a pattern and here I am, when I had a Trios in my hand….
And I chose family.
I don’t regret my decision, but the competitor in me is getting a little sick and tired of coming short each time, every year and with the next opportunities finally making themselves clearer, I at least have a chance to finally do something about it. The problem I have is for the first time in my life?
I feel human.
Vulnerable, not an emotion I ever felt before in my career and I think I know why….
Facing my mortality is scary.
There is so much that I want to accomplish in my life, in and out of the ring. Some of it I control, others I do not and must wait for the door to open. There is this fear that I am going to run out of time and walk away unfinished.
Never will what happened with Amy Chastaine happen again, I’m not allowing the system to dictate anything, I will go after what I want and to Hell if anyone will stop me…
And that includes the SCW Tag Team Titles.
I will not walk out those doors until my 8-year journey ends with what I want…
Dare to stop me.”
ON THE FRINGE
CHAPTER ONE
PROLOGUE: STATIC
The 2020 Trios Tournament was one of Redemption for Regan Street after winning last years and not able to cash in at RTG XVI when Datura came back. Then deciding on trading in her contract to Laura Steinbeck for the release of Jennifer Helms and her Beauty Factory Contract. Selena had chosen her to be on her team, the rules changing this year really gave the tournament a new wrinkle. Regan and Selena knew that they would have no trouble trusting one another, there was no way that anything would get in their way, the only piece missing was the third party, being Christy Matthews, one half of the World Tag Team Champions. It was interesting to note that Frozen Hell would be vying for those tag team titles but first would have to beat a game Kandis and Tommy Valentine, if they were going to get their shots at Infamous. Christy is a wrestler, a mother, a woman that understands the business and what needs to be done in order to succeed in it. The three women teamed well with each other even if there was a lot of tension between partners, showing how well the veterans could handle the pressure but falling short to the team that ultimately won in David Helms, Ace Marshall and Glory Braddock.
The Trios was something Selena wanted to win for Regan, wanting to give her another chance at the prestigious award The Hellcat ultimately traded away for Sienna Swann’s use and how she cashed in was a huge testament as to how powerful the contract is. Now that Regan must earn her Main Event spot at RTG XVI, The Hellcat will now look to win Taking Hold of the Flame, but right now the most important thing Is to stay focused on the task at hand, to win the SCW Tag Team Championships and come one step closer to the title of Supreme Champion. Regan though knew that this could ultimately be a failure for both ladies, the one comfort she had was that her husband comes home with the Trios instead. Regan did what she had to, also showing that this was about business, wrestling spouses, even her brother-in-law, Jason. She did not hold back this time and showed just how important this tournament was for her…
Even if it was not meant to be.
Now with Selena and Regan coming home without contracts, it was all about one thing, to get the shot at Retribution.
Trios Tournament
Dallas, TX.
2.16.2020
Regan watched as her husband won the Trios Contract. It was bittersweet for the Helms household, they had to face each other, one advanced, the other went home empty handed. Regan was happy for David, he hadn’t been back, a month or so and already had a contract to do what he wished, it must’ve felt really good. For Regan, she felt like it was her that let the team down, allowing Braddock to throw her out of the ring and not there to break a count or even be in the decision. Regan wasn’t aware of how Selena felt either, the Snow Queen fought her heart out, but she too couldn’t stop the other team from pinning Christy Matthews with some tension and a few other things that were quite obvious between Frozen Hell and Infamous. Regan sat in the locker, she had already showered, wearing jeans, Wedge sandals and a black blouse, her nails polished red and long blonde hair hanging down. Mikaela was in the room as well with Delilah, both had on jeans, Delilah with ankle boots and blue halter top, Mikaela with open toed heels and a white halter top, nails polished black. It didn’t take long for Regan to be happy for her husband as she watched him celebrate with a smile…
Mikaela: “He did it.”
Delilah: “That is a good thing, right?”
Mikaela: “Yeah, that is a good thing. Right sis?”
The emotion Regan was feeling was one of happiness and at the same time, a bit of sadness. If anyone was going to win a Trios that wasn’t her and Selena, then it would be her husband. She slowly stood up, a slight nod reinforced it that yes, this was a good thing. Her eyes started to slowly swell up, everything came so fast, it was happening quickly, he was unmasked just a month ago, now he is a Trios Champion. They even wrestled last match…..
Regan: “Yeah, it is a good thing.”
Mikaela: “Okay good, I didn’t want this to be all weird and awkward, last thing we need is that between you two. This sport has a tendency of breaking people up and well, you two have been through so much and….”
Regan: “We are fine, Miks.”
Mikaela: “… okay I’ll shut up now.”
Regan: “Better than Datura having a Trios, that’s for sure.”
Delilah: “I’m sorry you and Ms. Selena lost; I know how much you wanted it. Watching you and Mr. Helms fight, that was really weird, I mean like not at the house…”
Regan: “I know kiddo, it’s the breaks, shit happens and….”
As Regan was talking, the door opened, it was Selena already in plain clothing as well, she walked in with a somber look on her face yet seemed relieved that David had pulled off the Trios though neither one of them cared much for Ace Marshall and Glory Braddock since her attitude change. Selena tried to be positive, faking a smile….
Mikaela: “Alright, well I think that Delilah and I will head out to catering, it seems like a good time to get a coffee, right Dee?”
Delilah: “No, I’m okay.”
Mikaela: “No, I think this is a very good time for us to go hit catering, right Dee?”
Delilah: “You go on, I’m good and…”
Mikaela nudges her, gesturing to leave the room so that Regan and Selena can talk. Delilah finally gets it…
Delilah: “Ooooh right…. Yeah, I need a coffee. Come on.”
Mikaela: “We’ll be back ladies.”
As the two walk out, Regan has a smirk on her face, turning her attention to Selena who comes over and embraces her….
Selena: “I’m sorry, I failed you.”
Regan: “Okay, stop with that nonsense, you didn’t fail me. I let the team down, I allowed Braddock to throw me out of the ring after the DDT, I should have been more aware, and Infamous, Christy, damn it I thought we had it. I felt like it was in the palm of our hands. You didn’t fail me, if anything we did the best we could. After seeing Sienna cash in the Trios, I gave her….”
Selena: “Don’t do this to yourself, Regan. We both knew she was going to pull something snarky and unfair. She is something else, but this is about us right now, okay? This is about I made you a promise that I couldn’t keep, and it drives me insane thinking about it. I should have been better, I….”
Regan: “No, stop. You have been nothing but a sister to me. Keeping my secret with all the shit that has been going on, recently with me. We go and win as a team, lose as a team. I know it sounds so rah-rah right now but Selena, we did what we could with what we had. You and I, we brought it, yes I am beating myself up over it but one thing I know, it was an honor fighting side by side with you out there.”
That brought a smile to Selena’s face, also some tears, she slowly bent her head and nodded, this time Regan embracing her. There was so much more than this to go on, Trios was over, now it was time for the SCW Tag Team Titles, and it was about to get very personal. Her husband’s friend would be standing across from her and this would test Regan’s meddle. Selena sighed, sitting down, Regan resting her hand on the Snow Queen’s shoulders…
Regan: “Selena, I am already beating myself up over this, we don’t both need to be doing it. Honestly, I was just glad you picked me to be on this journey, we did the best we could but at the end, it was out of our hands.”
Selena: “Do you really believe that Regan?”
Regan: “Fuck…. No, I don’t. Look, I want to scream from the top of my lungs, I want to throw shit right now, get pissed, have an excuse to beat the shit out of someone, anything to unleash this anger I am feeling right now but I can’t. David is too important, he is everything to me that no title, no Trios, no accolades are going to ever be prioritized over him. Do you know how upset I am that we had to wrestle each other out there? That my kids are watching this? Lil Jay is wondering why we are beating the piss out of one another!? I fucking hate it Selena, but I need to accept it. His team won, they beat us, and I am happy for him. The hardest thing now is watching him with a Trios I had and gave it away for my daughter’s freedom, that is something I live with throughout the rest of my career. It was not your job to win me a Trios, Selena. It was mine. You gave me the chance; I will be indebted to you for it.”
Regan finally sat down next to her tag team partner and friend. Running her fingers though the long, strands of blonde hair, the gorgeous Regan didn’t know what else to say. It was a moment of awkward yet much needed silence. Feeling Selena’s hand on her thigh, Regan smiled, placing hers on top when David Helms walked in without notice, in his wrestling gear, all sweaty…
David: “Sorry, I didn’t know you were here, Selena.”
Selena: “It’s okay, I was just leaving.”
There seemed to be some tension between the three. Regan stood up, shaking her head at Selena…
Regan: “Stay.”
Selena: “I think I should g….”
David: “Don’t be ridiculous, stay. Regan…. I……”
Regan: “No….”
The Hellcat cupped her hands on his cheeks and smiled, kissing David….
Regan: “I am so damn proud of you.”
David: “Not at the expense of….”
Regan: “No, don’t you dare feel guilty or upset about winning Trios. Use it to the best of your ability. You’re a very smart man who knows what to do. What happened here tonight was competition and your team won it all, at least Datura didn’t get it.”
David: “Thank God. This was ours though, okay bae?”
Regan: “Okay, it was ours. I’m good with that.”
David: “Selena, you guys were awesome out there. I just wanted to say, thank you for all you have done for Regan. I didn’t know about coming back, I thought maybe I would embarrass myself or upset you in some way, the last thing I wanted was to stunt my wife or take away any opportunities she had and right now, I feel that way since the adrenaline rush has kind of subsided.”
Regan: “Babe… no.”
Selena: “Honestly David, up until February of last year, the few prior years before that were hell for me. I thought I lost my sister forever. The battles we waged, the wars we fought, the matches we had, beating each other up, the pure hatred I saw in her eyes and the spite she saw in mine, it is a time I don’t ever want to relive. I love her so much, as she does me. I know how important you and the family are in her life, there is nothing that compares to it, just like me and my family. Those trying times are over now, and I can’t think of anything better than fighting alongside your wife tonight, and for as long as she will have me. Tonight, was your night, Regan and I had our share of moments, cherish it, seriously and I would like to celebrate, let’s go out, my treat.”
David: “Selena… no…”
Regan: “Yeah you don’t have to do that. Seriously….”
David: “Yes, because it will be my treat.”
Regan turns to David and smirks…
David: “Frozen Hell deserves some time to celebrate too, you two have a huge match coming up and some tag titles to win no matter how much I love my boy.”
Regan: “I told you earlier, it’s not him per say, it’s his girlfriend. Tommy is not the same around her, David.”
He knew that Regan was right, it didn’t mean he had to admit it. All he could do was nod, then look at the two beautiful blondes and wait for a response. Regan and Selena turned to each other and smirked…
Regan: “Okay… you’re on.”
Selena: “Definitely.”
David: “Alright, let me shower up and we’ll go.”
Selena goes to open the door, Mikaela and Delilah both fall forward almost face first on the ground. They quickly try to play off that both were in the process of walking in. Regan tilted her head, Selena giggled some….
Regan: “Really?”
Mikaela: “Yeah….. so uh…. Where are we going?”
Delilah: “Totally.”
The Hellcat glances over at The Snow Queen and smirks.
Later That Night
Regan and David arrived back after hanging out, The Hellcat had drunk quite a bit and fast, taking off her heels and slowly unzipping her pants, she turned to David who was all smiles seeing his sexy wife with a strip tease. He though knew how much Regan had drank so he took off his shirt and started to undress, ready for bed. Regan was down to her underwear and tank top; she grabbed a bottle of water as David sat next to her…
David: “Are you okay, babe?”
Regan: “Oh, I am fine, a little drunk but happy for you.”
David: “Really? Tell me the truth.”
Regan: “I am… okay? I am happy that you went out there and won, if not me, then you, not Jason for sure, that asshole.”
David: “Yeah, gotta love him though.”
Regan: “Next time, I’m fucking up his perm like he did my hair. I actually wanted to kick his ass, but you know how that is. He gives me a good reason to fuck him up.”
David: “Listen, about us fighting in the ring…..”
She places her index finger on his mouth….
Regan: “Shhh…. No. It was all business, while I hated it, I’m glad it happened, it shows that we were both willing to stay true to the profession and the team. I don’t hate you if that is what you are implying.”
David: “Not at all. I love you babe.”
Regan: “I love you too. Go get ready for bed, I’m feeling a little frisky.”
David: “Yes ma’am.”
As David stood up and made his way into the bathroom, Regan laid down, her green eyes stared at her purse for a moment before finally they started to get heavy. Regan while out took one of her mother’s sleeping pills, drinking was a way to guarantee that she slept well tonight so that she couldn’t have any nightmares. She wanted to make love to her husband tonight but knew that was not going to happen…
Instead as her eyes slowly closed, she was fast asleep.
David walked out and noticed Regan’s eyes closed, he nudged her a bit on the thigh, she didn’t wake up. As he grabbed the blanket to cover his wife, he leaned in and kissed her goodnight. Walking over to the other side of the bed he noticed her purse open, there was a small bottle of pills, where he reached in and saw were prescribed to her mother, Giselle. Slowly looking over his shoulder at Regan, he took a deep breath, with a slow forming sense of concern.
THE TRUTH HURTS
There were a lot of things going on with Delilah that bothered Regan, she seemed so sweet and innocent and yet there was this anger and rage building inside of her when she unleashed it on Jesse McCain, another student at Ante Up Academy. Regan had taken the responsibility to watch over her when Richard, the eldest statesmen of the family asked if she would be willing to take the venture. Knowing how full her plate was, Regan had to deal with not only her daughter in EMERGE, her sister with the excess problems she had and all the responsibilities of being a mother, a wife and a Champion Wrestler. Regan was not going to turn family down but one thing that needed to happen was Kelcey Wallace finding out that she indeed had other family, as the young woman was kept away from everyone until they finally told Regan.
With Regan already dealing with her mother’s battle on cancer and finally the night terrors she was experiencing after the ordeal with Lancelot Crane, the last thing Regan wanted to do was neglect Delilah. She was concerned, and while the young protégé assured her that nothing was going on, Regan wasn’t exactly convinced. She felt that maybe meeting Kelcey would help, they could bond and the more family she was around the better it was for her. Regan had called Kelcey and asked to come over, it wasn’t a far drive, it was a trip that needed to be taken.
Scott Cannon Home
Hollywood Hills, CA.
2.18.2020
Regan was in the car with Delilah, the Hellcat had on jeans, thong sandals, a white halter top, with her long hair hanging down and nails polished red. Delilah was in a sundress, sandals with her long brown hair in a ponytail and nails polished black. She sat quietly as Regan passed the corner of the hill, opening a scenic view, Delilah was amazed by it….
Delilah: “It’s beautiful out here. So pretty and mountainous, I didn’t realize you lived this far up the hill.”
Regan: “Yeah, it’s peaceful and quiet, Dave and I love it up here, apparently so does half the SCW roster but it’s cool, at least we get the chance to live how we want and there is no price tag on that. Are you nervous?”
Delilah: “About what?”
Regan: “Meeting Kelcey?”
Delilah: “I don’t even know her.”
Regan: “She’s family Delilah, your cousin. It might be a little weird for both of you at first but trust me, Kelcey is good people and she wouldn’t do anything to make you feel uncomfortable or an outsider. She’s been through a lot of shit lately. Seems like maybe you have to?”
Her questioning was a way for Regan to pry a little into Delilah’s history. She wanted to know what the young girl had been through, since she couldn’t get any answers from her grandfather. Regan was very good at picking up things, she had a knack for it, especially reading other people. Delilah had elected not to answer right away, there as a moment of silence…
Delilah: “I’m not a bad person, Regan.”
Regan: “Dee, I never said that.”
Delilah: “You didn’t have to say it Regan, I can sense it. I know what I did was wrong with Jesse. I was angry because I couldn’t get the move right. You are spending so much time training me that I want to make you proud, but it seemed like she was making fun of me…. I don’t like it when people make fun of me, I know I am weird, they look at me funny, everyone treats me different, they think I am stupid or fragile.”
Regan pulls to the side of the road where there’s a look out, she puts the Jeep in Park, turning to Delilah….
Regan: “Dee, I want you to listen very closely, okay?”
Delilah: “I am.”
Delilah seemed a little frazzled, nervous that Regan pulled the car over. She starts to slowly squirm to the door, Regan saw that and tried to ease her….
Regan: “Hey, hey, hey, hey…. Dee, what is wrong?”
Delilah: “You’re mad at me, are you going to hurt me, please don’t.”
Regan: “Delilah… stop it. I’m not going to hurt you, all I want to do is talk, okay? I am very concerned about what is happening and I want to make sure that we have an open relationship and understanding, right now I don’t feel that way and it concerns me. Delilah, we are family, I told you already that I have taken responsibility to care for you and that is exactly what I will do but we need to be honest with each other, you need to tell me what is going on.”
Delilah: “Nothing is going on, people just don’t like me, they think I am strange, or I don’t know, naïve and stupid. I am not that at all. I didn’t attack Jesse on purpose.”
Regan: “Can I ask you something and please do not take it the wrong way.”
She shrugged her shoulders, Delilah didn’t know what to think, feeling that maybe she was being cornered by Regan. The Hellcat again needed to walk on eggshells with her which she hated because Regan is the type of person who is blunt. She takes a deep breath and asks anyway….
Regan: “Do you think that Jesse deserved the attack?”
Delilah didn’t know how to answer the question, deep down inside there was some remorse but at the same time, she felt that maybe Jesse did bring that upon herself. Delilah turned to Regan where their eyes locked and met….
Delilah: “No.”
Regan: “That’s good, at least you see the err of your ways. Jesse is a nice girl, I don’t think she would do that to you Delilah, make fun of you, she was probably frustrated too, she is learning also, remember that. All I am asking is that you’re open with me so we can avoid a situation like that again. I want you to succeed here, but outbursts like that, and some of the mannerisms you have, they worry me.”
Delilah: “I swear there is nothing wrong, I’m just weird, eccentric, whatever you want to call it. Trust me, please.”
Regan had no other choice but to take her word for it. She had a bad feeling about the mental stability of Delilah, a bit fragile and temperamental. The only thing she could do now was end the conversation and hope this meeting with Kelcey was better. Regan nods and smiles…
Regan: “Okay, I trust you, but you also need to trust me. Deal?”
Delilah: “Deal.”
That was enough for her right now, Regan wasn’t going to push the issue, one that she still felt her grandfather was avoiding or at least was trying to not be so truthful and honest and about it all. Regan decided that she would stop prying but another outburst or incident like that again and things were going to change, she would have no choice in sending Delilah back. She wanted her to learn from Regan, she was athletically gifted, she worked out all the time, fast and quick on her feet. Putting the Jeep in gear, they drove off, taking them only about another five minutes to arrive at Kelcey’s. The wind blowing, top down, it was a nice soothing ride. Once they pull into the driveway, Regan is pretty impressed with the house, it is the first time she has ever been there….
Regan: “Ready?”
Delilah: “Yeah.”
Regan: “Nervous?”
Delilah: “A little.”
Regan: “Come on.”
As a good gesture of faith, Regan gently holds Delilah’s hand, leading her up to the door. As Regan is about to knock, the door opens, it’s Kelcey Wallace in jeans, flip flops and an O-Cru t-shirt. Her long sandy blonde hair, wavy hung down, nails polished a matte hot pink. Regan was so impressed with Kelcey’s physical appearance, she was incredibly fit, she looked absolutely amazing….
Kelcey: “There she is!”
Regan: “Hey you!”
They embraced, Delilah looked on and smiled….
Regan: “So Kelcey, this is Delilah, I know you saw her around backstage at SCW events, but I wanted to properly introduce you two. I have been mentoring her for an in-ring career and adjusting to life out here in the states from London. She was with Grandpa for a while.”
Delilah: “Hi, it is an honor to meet you.”
She extends her hand for a shake, Kelcey shakes her head smiling and hugs her instead….
Kelcey: “I’m a hugger. You are so beautiful wearing that cute dress. I don’t think many had seen you casual, you have it, girl.”
Delilah blushes….
Delilah: “Thank you.”
Kelcey: “Come in, please. Scott isn’t here, he’s on business. He said that you guys need to come over and he’ll grill out someday soon.”
Regan: “We would love to. “
As the women enter the luxurious, beautiful home, Kelcey already has some Strawberry lemonade she made fresh at the coffee table and some snacks, they all sit down, Kelcey crosses her legs and smiles…
Kelcey: “I was so happy you called, wanting to come by, I don’t get a lot of visitors these days, things have been pretty tense and since waking up from a coma, it has been a roller coaster ride. I am feeling a lot better now, just have a war ahead of me.”
Regan: “I know, we are all here to support you in it, I told you already that I had your back, I would always be there for you no matter what.”
Kelcey: “I have my plan in place in SCW, now if I could have my son here, everything would then truly be Perfect, I’m working on that now, so let’s hope for the best, you know?”
Regan: “I know, Kels, I’m not even going to pretend to understand what you are going through right now, I can’t, I know it would drive me crazy. I would hope Sienna is better than this, I keep thinking she will snap out of it, then doesn’t.”
Kelcey: “It’s alright love, I have faith when this is all over, they will get theirs.”
Regan: “They will…. And I must say, you look great, I mean better than great, perfect dare I say, better then when you were in the ring. We love seeing you around backstage at Breakdown, I am ecstatic that you’re back in some capacity.”
Kelcey: “Thank you, so am I and I hope that I can really contribute to the youth in SCW and mold them best I can. Please, enjoy some lemonade and those are organic Oatmeal Raisin cookies and red velvet cupcakes.”
Delilah: “Yum.”
Kelcey: “Don’t be shy.”
Delilah takes a cupcake, biting into it, she’s not shy, about her enjoyment of the snack. Tucking her summer dress between her legs, a bit nervous around the two ladies. Regan smirks, Kelcey is glad she likes them, she was feeling a little self-conscious, Kelcey maybe perfect in the ring but not in the kitchen….
Kelcey: “Oh good, I didn’t know how they would turn out, was a little nervous but whew, dodged a bullet. So, how’s the family?”
Regan: “We are good, Kelcey, we actually came here because I needed to tell you something, you don’t know it yet and I figured it was better that I told you in person.”
Kelcey: “Is everything alright?”
Regan: “Yeah, everything is totally fine. I learned five months ago about this and the right time to tell you never really materialized. I wish it did, I would have loved to tell you sooner, but it was one of those situations that no matter how many times I tried to wrap my head around, it really was odd.”
Kelcey: “What is it, Regan?”
Regan’s green eyes glance over to Delilah eating the cupcake. She quickly wipes her mouth and swallows quickly. Clearing her throat, Delilah sits up straight…
Regan: “Did you want to tell her, or should I do it?”
Delilah: “Maybe I should. I don;t know if I can.”
Kelcey: “It’s okay, love. What is it, you can tell me?”
Delilah: “I…. I…..”
She looked really nervous, almost shaking when Kelcey grabbed her hand, trying to comfort her. Delilah almost automatically started to feel less pressure, the warm, soft hands of Kelcey soothed her anxiety some…
Kelcey: “Don’t be nervous, you can tell me anything.”
Delilah: “I…. I’m a Wallace.”
Kelcey’s eyes widened, slowly shifting her attention to Regan who take a deep breath, rubbing her own jeans and slowly nodding….
Kelcey: “A Wallace?”
Delilah: “Aye, a Wallace.”
Kelcey: “Wait a second…. There were only two Wallace brothers, Rory and Remington.”
Delilah lower her head, eyes tearing up some. Kelcey squeezed her hand as Kelcey asked her the question….
Kelcey: “Who is your father.”
A few tears started to trickle down her cheeks, dropping on to her summer dress. Kelcey lifted up her chin, wiping the tears with a warm smile….
Kelcey: “Who is your father?”
Delilah: “Remington.”
Kelcey’s beautiful bright blue eyes now were the ones that started to tear up a little, she didn’t know what to say, how to react to this finding, the man who was Kelcey’s father for long as she could remember had two daughters. Kelcey brings Delilah into her arms, as they share a hug….
Kelcey: “I have another cousin…. One that might as well be my little sister. A little sister….”
Delilah: “I’m sorry that nobody told you.”
Kelcey: “Not your fault, love. I want you to tell me everything and how you ended up with grandpa? I have all the time in the world.”
Delilah: “Okay…. I was conceived out of wedlock….”
There was no way that Delilah was going to tell Kelcey her life story, much as she felt so comfortable with her, if she was hiding something from Regan, she truly would be hiding something from anyone that would want to know it. Delilah though was smart, she needed to tell them something, how at least she ended up at Richard Street’s home. Regan watched and listened carefully, maybe she would get something out of the young Wallace….
But that was not going to happen.
One Hour Later
Kelcey escorted them to the door, they had a great conversation, The Perfect 10 felt a lot closer to Delilah now, she was happy to see her there with Regan, inviting her to come over anytime. Delilah acknowledged, loving the idea before leaving…
Kelcey: “Anytime I said, okay? You are welcomed into my home, I’d like to spend more time together, maybe I can swing by and pick you up one day, hang out. Go to the beach.”
Delilah: “I would like that…. Thank you.”
Kelcey: “Come here, give me a hug.”
Hugging again, Regan smiled, she was relieved that Kelcey and Delilah were able to get along, that wasn’t much of a worry with Kelcey, she is always personable and a woman that is easy to get along with….
Kelcey: “Take care, love.”
Delilah: “You too.”
Regan: “Ready?”
Delilah: “Yes.”
As Delilah climbed up on the Jeep, Regan also embraced her cousin, they kissed on the cheek before saying their goodbyes….
Regan: “I’ll call you.”
Kelcey: “Definitely and thank you for bring her by, it means a lot.”
Regan: “ knew it would and she needed this, it’s been pretty tense.”
Kelcey: “Oh?”
Regan: “She seems to be a bit bottled inside; we need to help her break out of that shell. She lost it on one of the Ante Up Students, was pretty freaky but I will talk to you another time about it, I think that bringing you into her life will help out a lot.”
Kelcey: “I think it will help us both out. I will definitely hang out with her more, have her stay with me a few nights and really get to know her.”
Regan: “Delilah would appreciate that. Alright, I have to go, take care, love you.”
Kelcey: “Love you too.”
Regan hops in the Jeep, they drive away. She heads down the hill to West Hollywood where Delilah’s apartment is. She stops to drop her off \but Regan wants to go inside and check out her place. Delilah didn’t seem to mind too much though at first wasn’t totally for it….
Delilah’s Apartment

They both walk inside, Regan sees how the place looks, it’s clean, already furnished after she had purchased it. Delilah takes off her sandals and walks to the kitchen…
Delilah: “Water? Soda?”
Regan: “I’ll take a soda. Where’s the restroom?”
Delilah: “Down the hall but it has my laundry in it, use my bedroom loo.”
Regan: “Okay, thanks.”
Delilah was fixing them a few drinks, Regan walked into the bedroom, but she didn’t need to use the restroom. Instead she quietly started to scour through some drawers, even in her closet, anything that she could find that would give her some insight on anything that she could know about Delilah. As she looked in the closet, she found a small box, opening it she saw some pictures, a few letters, taking one of them out, she noticed her grandparents standing there holding the hands of a young kid, as Regan looked closer at the picture it was that of a boy….
Regan: “What the fu…”
Suddenly she hears a noise getting closer, it was Delilah, quickly putting everything back, ran into the bathroom, flushed the toilet and walked out….
Delilah: “Everything alright?”
Regan: “Feel much better, I had to pee really bad. Now I’m thirsty.”
Regan smiles, walking past Delilah, whose baby brown eyes narrow, slowly turning toward the closet, then back at the Hellcat.
EPILOGUE: MY WORST NIGHTMARE
Being a mother was a tough job, Regan Street was not only a very good mother, a position and situation that took her a very long time to learn, she could also be very protective and overbearing, that was the case with Jennifer Helms. Regan and Jennifer had a very tight relationship. Jennifer saw the sacrifices Regan made to her daughter and the lengths the Hellcat would go to get there. Regan and David wanted what was best for Jennifer, her choices in life were that of her own but still only 19, she had so much to learn. Regan had started to back off some, especially after Ricky Octavius killer was found and she was able to leave that behind them though Jennifer somehow was able to slowly recover, Regan who was not being honest with her family on the other hand, did not, she was having Night Terrors and they were getting worse and worse. Regan was not about to tell anyone what she was going through, instead she kept it to herself, taking some of the sleeping pills that her mother gave her, helping her sleep some, what she didn’t know was David finding them the next morning after Trios while she was passed out that night, anything to stop them….
As for Jennifer though, she wanted to talk to her parents before leaving for England and spending the weekend getting ready for EMERGE in Exeter. Regan and David sat outside enjoying the weather, they both had a beer in hand. Regan was in shorts, flip flops and a “BANG!” T-shirt, her hair in a ponytail, nails polished red. David was in shorts, flip flops and a New Jersey Devils tee, he was enjoying the good life when Jennifer came home.
Helms Residence
Laurel Canyon, CA.
2.20.2020
Jennifer walked in wearing a black sundress and wedge sandals, her long gorgeous brown hair was straightened, hanging down, toenails polished a matte red. She looked a little nervous, needing to speak with her adoptive parents about an issue that had been bothering her and felt the need to speak to them about it. Walking in, Regan was always warm with her, standing up quickly and hugging then kissing her daughter on the cheek. Jennifer then walked over to David, gave him a hug, kiss on the cheek as well, sitting down right in front of her two-favorite people in the world. She cleared her voice some, feeling a little hesitant, brushing her hair back as David offered her a beer….
Jennifer: “Uh Dad, really?”
David: “Are you telling me that you’re not going to drink with your old man?”
Jennifer: “Seriously, this is important, and I don’t need alcohol, I drink enough in the UK, 18 age limit, remember?”
Regan: “Shit, that’s right babe.”
David: “Well, I guess you can’t wrestle in EMERGE then for another two years.”
Jennifer: “Really?”
David and Regan but laughed some, they were enjoying their peaceful afternoon….
Jennifer: “Hey focus, serious talk, please?”
Regan: “Okay, okay, serious talk. What is going on?”
Jennifer: “Trios….”
David: “I know, thanks for the congrats, kiddo.”
Jennifer: “No… no…. not you winning, you two fighting in the ring.”
Regan sat up, David sighed, placing his beer on the deck floor. Regan and David knew that this day sooner or later was going to happen, they just didn’t know when. Jennifer was always very direct; she took after Regan in that department which the Hellcat appreciated it. The two fighting during the Trios tournament was them being professional about it, yet they both knew that eventually the family wouldn’t approve. Regan sipped her beer before she too placed it on the deck floor…
Regan: “Jenni, it was business, just competition and nothing more. Your dad and I talked about it going into the tourney there would be a chance we may need to wrestle one another, it happened, and we are fine, see? I know that in the past I have been very against wrestling my family and still am to a certain extent, this tournament was different and trust me, we are okay.”
David: “Jenni, listen kiddo, if anything the relationship between your mom and I is stronger than ever. I really think that even though we wrestled each other it turned a page. It proved to the world that we are competitors and were not going to give each other a pass. I love your mom more than life and she feels the same, it was SCW competition at its best.”
Jennifer: “I’m glad you see it that way, tell Jay that.”
David: “What are you talking about?”
Regan: “How does Jay know?”
Jennifer: “He watches SCW now when he gets the chance, we all do and you can imagine the horror on our faces, it was like watching Owen and Peyton square off. I get it, I wrestled Peyton in the finals of the tournament, awesome. You two should not be fighting each other, it’s not right, mom and dad. He doesn’t know, look how he was with us when you took him to get a burger.”
It had come up that night after Trios and Regan chose to ignore it, they both did. Neither one of them thought of the consequences and for someone like Jennifer, she would understand it but Jason would not, it’s hard to see it through the eyes of a ten year old. Regan let out a small sigh, David could only nod…
Regan: “You’re right. David and I will talk to him.”
David: “Yeah, we don’t want him to think that Regs and I are fighting, that is definitely not a picture we want embedded in his head. Thanks for pointing that out Jenni.”
Regan: “Yes thank you.”
Jennifer: “Okay, I am glad you see that. Now….”
Regan: “Now what?”
Jennifer: “I have something else to tell you.”
David:“What’s that?”
Jennifer: “You guys have taught me so much since I came here and you two took me in, I was a terrible kid, did a lot of stupid things, drove mom mad, I mean she was ready to commit murder for me and dad, you know that I ha da very difficult time in trying to get over Becca’s death.”
David simply nods…
Jennifer: “Mom, you used your Trios contract when I was stupid signing with The Beauty Factory, I don’t know how I could ever repay you guys, giving me wrestling, a career. The one thing that you both taught me though was independence and living my life, make decisions that make me happy which is why I have always cherished every bit of knowledge you’ve given me. You guys know how much I appreciate it all and have I told you lately how much I love you both?”
Regan clears her throat….
Regan: “Okay Jennifer, enough with the sucking up and stalling ass-kissing tactics, what did you do?”
Jennifer: “Mom!?”
David: “Jenni, just tells us.”
As Regan starts sipping her beer, Jennifer takes a deep breath and finally tells them….
Jennifer: “I’m dating Owen Cruze.”
Regan immediately spits her beer out; David sits up a bit surprised and wide-eyed…
David: “Come again?”
Regan: “Please tell me I heard that wrong. Did you say that you’re dating Owen Cruze?”
Jennifer: “I…. I did.”
Regan: “The same Owen Cruze I wrestled? The same Owen Cruze that kicked me in the tits!? The same Owen Cruze that disrespected the fuck out of me until I kicked his ass!?”
Jennifer: “Yes! And he learned from that too, see, he is willing to listen and totally looks up to both of you.”
Regan: “Owen… no. Jennifer…. No fucking way! You are not supposed to be dating another wrestler that we compete with! Do you know what kind of shit that is going to stir? And Owen…. I mean really? He has a fly tattooed on his fucking chest!”
Jennifer: “It’s a moth, mom.”
Regan: “Oh for fucks sake, it’s a goddamn bug! What about his hair!? I mean his clothing line…. Help me here Dave.”
David: “I like the kid, he’s a good guy but I think your brother may not be too happy about it.”
Jennifer: “I know… I know but I cannot help who I fall in love with and….”
Regan: “LOVE!? Oh, Hell no! Jennifer, you don’t love Owen, it’s a fling, a stage, go have sex with him, don’t ever tell me about and get it out of you system.”
Jennifer: “Mom!? Oh my God, tis is not about sex, this is about to people that deeply care for each other. Owen is someone that is handsome, adorable, such a nice guy, a gentleman…. You are not saying this because he’s, you know?”
David and Regan look at one another confused….
Regan: “Short?”
David: “British?”
Regan: “Loud?”
Jennifer: “… never mind, forget it.”
David: “Listen, Jenni, long as you’re happy, I am happy, that is all I care about. If Owen is the guy that makes you feel so good about yourself, then so be it, I want what is best for you and I really don’t have an opinion on it. I’d like to talk to Owen though, while cleaning the Glock 17. I liked you and Christian together….”
Jennifer: “He’s becoming a lot like his dad.”
David: “That’s a shame.”
Regan: “I… yeah I can’t digest this right now. I can’t….”
Jennifer: “Mom, please, don’t do this.”
Regan: “Jennifer, it’d not that I don’t like Owen, he’s a good kid but I don’t know if I want you with him. He has a lot of enemies, there are people that will try to hurt you to get to him, I just don’t like it, okay? You have to see it from my point of view and whatever you do, do NOT ever get in a car with him!”
Jennifer rolled her eyes, clearly annoyed and upset. She was hoping to get her parents blessing but only David was willing to at least be at peace with the idea, Regan was not. Jennifer sook her head and walked out. David ran after her. Regan didn’t want to feel this way, she wanted to be happy for the two but she was worried about the baggage Owen brings, the people in SCW willing to now hurt her daughter because of it. She saw it in Alistaire Allocco and Peyton Rice, it had become a common practice within the company. It was also Owen; how weird would it be for her daughter to date a guy she has wrestled….
Regan simply couldn’t fathom it.
Later That Night
Regan sat at the edge of the bed putting lotion on her feet, she was already in her nightie, ready to hit the bed early. David laid in bed, staring at Regan, he brushed her long blonde hair over her right shoulder, glancing towards her husband….
David: “You gotta let Jennifer live her live babe or she will resent us for it. You know there are a lot of worse guys out there than Owen. You have a good relationship with Shaun, we both respected the hell out of Lando, he was a bro of mine.”
Regan: “I know and that is why I am having so much trouble with it right now, he is a great guy, I like him a lot and I am happy that she is falling for one of the good people in the sport. I don’t know, babe. I am still so overprotective of her….”
David: “You have been since late last year, keeping an eye on her like a hawk, why? Is there something that I should know?”
Regan: “No. I’m just an overprotective parent. Are you sure it’s not because of the Crane incident?”
The Hellcat didn’t answer right away, instead rubbing more lotion on her other foot…
David: “Babe, look at me, please?”
Regan: “What babe? Yeah, I am sure that had something to do with it, of course. I’m not trying to hate on the guy, I want to support Jenni in everything, she is my daughter now and I see her growing up really fast and maturing into a beautiful young w3oman. I can still be overprotective, I can still be concerned, babe.”
David: “You can but I still don’t understand why you’re being like this.”
Regan: “You know what? You’re right. I shouldn’t get in the way and support my daughter. I will call her tomorrow and make amends.”
David: “You’re just saying that to shut me up.”
Regan: “No, I am not. I seriously….”
David cuts her off….
David: “Why are you taking your mother’s sleeping pills?”
He bluntly came out and asked the question, Regan froze for a moment, slowly turning around to face him…
Regan: “Excuse me?”
David: “The night of Trios, you drank a lot and fast, then took one of those pills, am I correct?”
Regan: “David….”
David: “…. Don’t lie to me Regan, please. Am I correct?”
Regan: “Y… yeah.”
David: “Why, do you know how dangerous it is to mix alcohol with sleeping pills, wasn’t Sienna lesson enough? If there is something going on, I want to know about it. Please tell me.”
Regan: “David…. I don’t; want to talk about it.”
David: “Tell me.”
Regan’s fingertips slowly caress her neck, Dave sees this and gets out of bed, walking over to his wife, he sits right in front of her and takes a deep breath, placing his hands on her thighs….
David: “Does this have to do with Jennifer?”
Regan: “Y.. yes.”
David: “I am your husband, please tell me what is going on? Does anyone else know?”
Regan: “Selena, only because she saw it when we went jogging in the National Forest. I blacked out.”
David: “Blacked out? What is happening? Is it your sleeping pattern? I noticed a lot of tossing and turning, sweating and getting up really early and sitting downstairs drinking coffee. What is it?”
It took a moment for Regan to muster the courage to tell David what was happening. Taking some time, her eyes began to swell up in tears, her breathing became more shallow thinking about it…
Regan: “All I wanted to do was find her, going to Crane’s house….”
Her thoughts and memories started racing, closing her eyes, David looked on….
Regan didn’t say another word and stormed upstairs past Crane. She walked down the hallway where the light was, when she turned, she froze seeing her daughter tied to the canvas. Jennifer screamed….
Regan: “Jenni? What the fuc….”
But just as Regan was going to turn, Crane wrapped the wire around her neck. Jennifer screamed trying to break out even cutting her ankles and wrists from all the force. Regan quickly falls back into the wall trying to break the stranglehold, her eyes and tongue start to bulge out of her face. Jennifer tries to break out but can’t as Crane is about to fall backwards on Regan when suddenly Regan back headbutts him right in the nose almost shattering it, he let’s go and Regan kicks him in the groin before collapsing trying to catch her breath. Regan was on her fours, holding her neck, bleeding some hearing her daughter scream….
Tears were now streaming down her face, David held her hand….
Regan: “I was so afraid. My life flashed before my eyes and for that moment, I thought I was going to die. Seeing Jennifer in a panic would have been my last vision before darkness and then he would have killed her too. I was so scared…. For the first time in my life, even Otis, I was nervous, afraid he may do something, this was different…..this was so real and I can’t get the thought out of mind. I wake up in the middle of the night screaming, crying, all I feel is his hands wrapping the piano wire around my neck and squeezing so hard….. I wanted to tell you, I did but I didn’t want you or Jennifer to think I was a fucking coward.”
David: “You are ner a coward…. Do not say that. You are never a coward….”
Concerned for the mental state of his beautiful wife, he sat next to her, placing his arm over her shoulder and bring her in closer. To know that his wife was suffering from PTSD was not only a shock, but it explained so much as to what was going on in her mind. Regan was simply caring for her daughter in the midst of an inner war between her sanity and repressed memories….
And had she gone a little longer….
There would have been no turning back.
SCENE FADES
“Telling myself everyday that I need to be strong for my family is what gives me energy to go on, a purpose that I didn’t have once. Looking back at what I have done and what I still need to do, there is a desire more than ever to finish this road I have long traveled, where along the way I lost myself here or there, not really looking at life as a grander picture but instead in fragments. I never wanted to turn a blind eye on my past, it’s made me the woman I am today though some may disagree on the make up of Regan Street. I never came to the SCW to be popular or make friends, I came here to make money and win Championships…
I did all of that and now it seems like when I reflect on all the good times and the bad, when I see the groundbreaking wins and the hard losses, to think of a time when all I ever cared about was what the business offered and never thinking of what I could do to make it better, the process was a bit muffled, catching myself walking out to the ring, wondering why do I keep doing this?
For love of the sport?
Or is it something greater?
I know my faults now, I dream every single night the life slipping from my body, the gasping of breath, the tears forming, trying to scream yet nothing was coming out, it is a hard pill to swallow when control is taken out of your hands and given to someone else. I have never felt so helpless in my life that it haunts me to this day. Maybe I need to learn and let go. I sometimes wake up in a cold sweat thinking of Otis playing with parts of my body as I lay unconscious until finally waking up and catching him in the act, locked away in some cage. I get nervous when I hear my father screaming at me in memories suppressed before he right hooks me so hard in the right jaw, I woke up in the same spot I fell in hours later…
Then finally Crane choking me with that wire that kept getting tighter and tighter, all I could see was David, Jennifer, AJ, all the family before it almost went blank and, in the moment…
It comes right back to you…
How quickly life can be taken away in a matter of seconds.
I can’t continue living like this, in fear of losing it all and never finishing what I started, unable to protect my children, husband, parents, relatives and friends. It was probably by design for one reason, it gave me the chance to appreciate what I have more and worry less about what I haven’t attained yet it has not changed my mindset, the goals I have placed on myself or the focus to end the journey on MY TERMS…
Which is why at Breakdown….
I’m bringing Hell to get what I need, not want….
Another step to Supremacy.”
THE FALL OF TWO ASSES
Pullen Park is a 66.4-acre public park immediately west of downtown Raleigh, North Carolina. It is located on Ashe Avenue and is adjacent to the Main and Centennial campuses of North Carolina State University…covering an area between Western Boulevard and historic Hillsborough Street. Founded in 1887, Pullen Park is the oldest public park in North Carolina. The park features picnic areas, a concession stands along with several small rides including the Pullen Park Carousel, train, and kiddie boats. Pedal boats are also available for rent seasonally on the park’s small lake. The Pullen Aquatic Center, Pullen Arts Center and Theatre in the Park are also located on the park grounds. It is one of the most famous and well-known parks in the Research Triangle region. The East Coast Greenway, a 3,000-mile-long system of trails connecting Maine to Florida, runs through Pullen Park.
Pullen Park was founded on March 22, 1887 when Richard Stanhope Pullen donated farmland to the City of Raleigh expressly to be used as a space for recreational enjoyment of its citizens and visitors. This land became Pullen Park, the first public park in North Carolina, although its founder, always shying from thanks and publicity, opposed giving it his name. A “Committee on Public Parks” was formed to oversee the transformation from farmland to landscaped park and a Park Keeper was hired in 1888 to oversee these modifications. Pullen continued his own involvement by taking part in the planning and financing of bridges, roads and paths throughout the park as well as the planting of trees and general landscaping in the park and the neighboring NC State University which was built on land also donated by him. Pullen’s landscape architecture was in keeping with the times. He also financed a round Pavilion for outdoor entertainment and a Fountain located near the city’s first Swimming Pool in 1891. A member of Congress from another county donated fifty Japanese Carp for the fountain which shows the significance of the park even outside of Raleigh. In 1895 modifications to the structure and regulations of the pool allowed for its use by women. The pool remained in the same place until it was replaced by the Pullen Aquatic Center in 1992.
Here is where we find the gorgeous “Hellcat” Regan Street, fresh off an elimination in the semi-finals of the Trios Tournament to the team that had her husband on it, David Helms. It was a moment many will never forget, as they wrestled each other, just like she did the first round with her smart-ass Brother In Law, a quick turn from what Regan was about just a year or so ago where she would have taken this very personal and while she hates losing the Trios Tourney, she is happy that David brought it home. Now her and Selena Frost face a bigger test, Kandis and Tommy Valentine for a chance at the Tag Team Titles come Retribution. Regan is ready, one of two steps left to become a Supreme Champion. Wearing jeans, black knee high boots, a cheetah print halter top and leather jacket, her nails polished red and long blonde hair hanging down, we can see Delilah and Mikaela in the background looking on bundled in their warm clothes as Raleigh is still quite brisk….
REC:
As the camera starts to record, the beautiful Regan turns to face it, her green eyes behind the shades she wears narrow a little, speaking in her sexy yet very direct voice….
“As I look out at the water and see my reflection, I often ask myself under my breath if I am the person I see. This is a beautiful place in Raleigh, peaceful and quiet, it gives me a chance to think about the past and the present while setting myself up for the future. Funny, I had a stable named just that but maybe I had it all wrong, always putting labels on us, there comes a moment of clarity when we all see the world for what it is, different interpretations, most think theirs is correct because in this society, opinions have replaced facts. This is business will always find a way to test out heart and guile, a chance for a person like me to put something into someone else on my same level that I have always had a hard time doing….
Trust.
I see the woman standing next to me ready to step into battle and help me achieve what she has already in a short amount of time, putting everything that she has planned including a long overdue World Championship match to help me become Supreme, that is not just friendship folks, this is family. Selena Frost is the kind of person that put her goals and gains behind mine, which is why it was an honor to be on her team at Trios and we came close. Disappointing? Of course, for there was nothing I wanted more than a Trios. I made my bed, I slept in it too and I don’t expect anyone to truly understand why I gave up my contract from last year. All I know is I really wanted one this time, it would have made my climb a whole lot easier, but you know what?
I’m glad Dave won it, he and the team came to play, they out lasted the rest of us, I can accept it, doesn’t mean Selena and I can’t be a little annoyed or disappointed, we didn’t win the damn thing, even Glory now has two Trios in a row. Christy to my surprise was a halfway decent partner until the very end, where I sense Infamous was starting to see what kind of threat, we are to those tag team titles and forming a plan of attack. I think the one peace of mind I had sitting in the locker room after knowing that Selena and I would not be in the finals, a first for me, was knowing that Selena and I as Frozen Hell would get a chance to win a shot at the SCW World Tag Team Championship at Retribution. It was always in the back of my mind, set as a mental reminder I would take that next step to immortality, the one caveat to it is defeating the former Tag Team Champions in Jackass & Big Ass Connection, probably one of the dumbest tag team names I have ever heard BUT very fitting for this two. When I talk about the past and the present, I look back to see how so much has changed, when Tommy Valentine and David Helms were the Next Level, where here I was trying to fit in, making some noise, looking up to both of them and wondering if I would ever get the opportunity to share some of those same accolades and be a Hall of Fame wrestler one day….
Then flash forward into the future and see how it has evolved and where I stand now, shaking my head at Tommy for what he has become….
A tail chaser or in this case, a Rhinoceros ass chaser.
Tag team wrestling was always his specialty, simply admired what he could do with any partner, he is that damn good at what he does. He has been part of the future, training future World Champions at Ante Up Academy. Tommy is the epitome of what the SCW makeup is and that is something I have always respected about him, sticking to his guns, coming out every week to compete win or lose, Tommy in fact taught me so much about the SCW and this business, it made me feel empowered. Sure, I have had my feuds and matches with him in the past, but we always left it in the ring…
And for some reason I have this gut feeling this time it will be different.
Because so much is at stake and if ANYONE knows how bad I want to be a tag team champion, it’s Tommy Valentine…..
…. And now you’re going to try and stop me?
I think not.”
Delilah and Mikaela look on, as Regan speaks with some fire behind her words and passion. This match is bittersweet for Regan, on one end she faces a man she has admired, and called friend for most of her SCW career, on the other he is teaming with a woman The Hellcat has faced in an Adrenaline Championship defense, that being Kandis. She finally gets to team with Selena in a match that will determine the next challengers to the Tag Team Titles. She turns back to the camera and speaks…
“Tommy, can we still call each other friends? I don’t know man, it seems like you’re the kind of guy that loves to be around people that he genuinely cares about until a piece of ass, in this case a ginormous one walks in and suddenly you forget about everything else, like the rats following the Pied Piper and instead start acting like a 16 year old horny high school kid on Twitter like he’s never had some. Piece of advice, when the girl is in her teens and twenties, it’s part of the growing process, being promiscuous or just being wild, having fun is the normal but when you’re old as you two? Then it becomes sad, it’s not cute and funny anymore, it’s trashy and pathetic. Is that what you want your legacy to be remembered? As the guy who chose ass and the raunchy sex like a love starved child instead of credibility and honoring the legend you had become. Tommy, you are my husbands best friend, a man that I have practically lived with for a very long time. You and I were always on the same page even looking at ourselves on the opposite side of the fence. There was nothing I had more towards you than respect. I see how you loved the business, how you were having fun being a role model and someone that the kids at Ante Up looked up to. I want you to think about Ricky Octavius, that dude idolized you, man. He and Peyton Rice, two people you took the time to train and now you piss it all the way to bump and grind with Kandis, a known hater of those two I mentioned?
Is her ass worth turning your back on the people who have loved and supported you all this time?
Because you see, no matter how you feel about me right now Tommy, bad mouth, talk shit, say whatever your little Kandis loving ass heart desire about Regan Street or should I say Helms, the truth is, you’re pussy whipped and you basically sold out to a girl who if she had as many dicks sticking out of her as she had stuck in her, she’d look like a fucking porcupine. See, though Tommy, being a tag team champion is nothing to you, it’s practically a day at the office, it’s another belt among the many you held and I don’t think that you truly realize just how bad I want this and what I will do to get it all to become a Supreme Champion but most importantly, to share a title and a moment with my sister in arms, Selena Frost.
Do you remember the camaraderie Tommy between you and Dave as The Next Level?
It was untouchable, THIS was Tag Team Wrestling.
That’s how I feel now as Frozen Hell, and you will see with Selena and I. Kandis, I haven’t forgotten about you, girl. We have had our bout in the past, you are a future single champion no doubt, hitting hard as your ass, that is for sure. I get wanting something, you can taste scoring the upset, telling the world that you and Tommy beat Selena Frost and Regan Street, hey I am all for that mindset, it is the same one I have had for a very long time, but allow me to explain something to you, missy. I am on an 8-year journey, think for a second what strip club you were pole dancing at then. For that long, I have wanted to be a tag team champion, you did it in less than a year. Tommy knows that I have never had a tag team title match in my SCW career. Process that for a second, all this time and the Hellcat has never had the chance to win tag team gold and if you think Frozen Hell is going to falter?
Think Again.
There is a reason I chose Selena Frost. We are not a couple, we don’t motivate ourselves with hot, sweaty, nasty sex, I don’t expect Selena to smother my face with her ass, I leave those factors to you two. What drives me more than ANYTHING else right now is I have the opportunity with Selena to reach a goal I have never been given the chance to and take one step closer because unlike you Tommy…
I will never overstay my welcome and become what you have transformed into. I rather leave with my dignity and people remember me for what I did and not who I did.”
The disappointment in Regan’s voice is apparent when it comes to Thomas Valentine. It is tough for her knowing just how close he and David are but with Kandis around, it has changed Tommy for the worse though his transformation began long before he ever met the big ass wonder. Regan didn’t care, Kandis was simply more ass to kick and as for Tommy, she didn’t care, there were no punches being pulled, it was going to be a straight up fight because there was so much on the line. Delilah and Mikaela watch as Regan dials it in, a little more pacing….
“Kandis, you like to run your mouth, change the narrative so it fits your story. Think you’re all that when you haven’t walked ten feet in my shoes let along a mile. I have been here long enough to know that women like you need to be humbled just a little, some stay and some fizzle away. You’re too arrogant for the latter so I will take pleasure in beating a little respect into you. See, you and Tommy already had your chance to get the titles back and failed, Selena and I are only getting started. Everyone knows that we are the only true tag team that can defeat Infamous, you two asses have already dropped the ball in that aspect, which Is why I wasn’t going to wait, when I was told that we needed to prove ourselves it angered me. I don’t need to prove myself to anybody and no disrespect to your talent, I like your spunk and fire but babe, there is no BIGGER bitch in the SCW than The Hellcat and you are looking right at her, so pipe it down and go to bed. Maybe you learned something from our last encounter, when anything is on the line, its time to elevate to another level, that is what I do best. I know not only how important this is to Selena and I, I also know that if we were to falter, who knows when we would get our shot, I can’t do this any longer, I don’t want to win this match, I NEED to win this match and at Retribution that will be ours, I am not waiting anymore and Selena isn’t either!
I don’t care what you do on those “Thirsty Thursdays”, because tomorrow night is “Kick a Fat Ass Wednesday” multiple times. Tommy is a fool, falling for your shit. I personally don’t understand it and never will but maybe that is what makes him happy. In a way since we both failed at Trios, I think it is safe to say this can at least act like a band aid until March when we take those tag team titles from Infamous. Tommy, unlike Kandis who I have nothing in common with and would drop her on that noggin within seconds, I have broken bread with you brother, my kids call you uncle, they know that you are part of the family and like I had to fight David and Jason at Trios, I have no qualms about Selena and I dropping you, taking our place in history! I’m not stupid, I know you are coming to fight and she wears the fucking pants here, because the Tommy I knew would have never been sucked by that giant succubus, walking around dazed, confused and thinking about the victors spoils after Breakdown, right?
No Tommy, not in Raleigh, you know damn well why I want this, don’t act coy, you fuck. I think Frozen Hell is going to change the script on that one.
As for Selena, sister you know that I have your back, we have been waiting a long time for this, it is why we formed a tag team, the goal, the titles are right ahead of this match, we have ONE more obstacle to hurdle, ONE more fight to win and then we see ourselves standing across the ring from Infamous but it is now that we cannot let each other down, those days of disappointment and blinding ourselves from the pain of walking out empty handed…
I can’t do it again, Selena, they are over.
Not with you by my side, we are too good for that.
Tommy and Kandis? Let them sink not swim, they can’t beat us if we stay focused which I know you will be. This is OUR time, the Connection had theirs. Watching my husband out in the ring inspired me, to see him come back, I can’t and refuse to let him down. I am a very determined woman Kandis and Tommy, you two might have your little wise cracks…. “Big Cracks” I guess better explains it and little snide remarks, it’s not going to change a damn thing. You wanted to come out and interrupt us a few weeks back, talk your shit Kandis, when you do, look at my record and shut up, I already dropped you once, I’ll do it again. Please, you two, stake your claims after what happened at Day of Infamy? Fine, well we have planted our flag on those tag team, titles and NO ONE is going to stop me again from fulfilling my goals, as I see so many others in shorter times now long gone get an accolade patiently waited for, I will take every single chance I get and turn it into success and come Breakdown tomorrow night?”
Regan slowly walks up to the camera, her green eyes narrow, biting down on her jaw, angry and worked up for the fact Tommy doesn’t listen and she is forced to treat him like anything but a friend, family and with Kandis, Frozen Hell has prepared for this. She slowly tilts her head….
“Friend or foe, brother or enemy, family or fiend? Tommy, I will remember the good days we had so I don’t regret what I do and end your night along with that ass you carry?
In a big fat, CATastrophe.”
The Hellcat backs up some, brushing her hair over the shoulder, glaring at the camera with narrowing eyes as Delilah and Mikaela both look on….
“Meow Bitches.”
… and walks off.
