Everything had gone exactly as Glory Braddock had hoped it would. She had her match against Asher Hayes with both his Television Championship and her Adrenaline Championship on the line. Winner would take home both championships and for Glory this match would be a match of redemption. The last few times they had met in a wrestling ring ended with controversy, largely caused by The British Bombshell herself. Braddock knew she was good enough to take on and inevitably take down Asher Hayes but she wanted to prove it to the world. On Breakdown she had drilled Asher with Gloria In Excelsis Deo and was preparing to cap it off with a Beautiful Insanity; at least, she was going to do all of this until she was suddenly stopped by one man…
...Tommy Valentine. His knee strike which decked Braddock ended the match immediately because the referee saw the whole thing. Glory Braddock would pick up the victory but by disqualification, thus she did not become SCW Television Champion. Once upon a time she would have tried to look at the bright side; at least she remained Adrenaline Champion and at least she could somehow manage to say she gained some measure of redemption for herself because she did not cheat. She did not take shortcuts. And she seemed to win over the fans as the match progressed. But taking a consolation prize isn’t in the nature of The British Bombshell. The right thing would have been a clean outcome one way or the other but Valentine ruined that for herself, Asher, and the fans.
The SCW Adrenaline Champion will get a chance to get payback for everyone involved, herself included, and maybe even pick up another trophy along the way. On the November 11th edition of Breakdown from her hometown of London, England Glory Braddock will compete against Ravyn Taylor and Tommy Valentine in a triple threat match, part of a world championship series. If this series will lead Glory to another opportunity at the SCW World Championship that’s icing on the cake. As far as Breakdown is concerned, she’s going to make Tommy pay for ruining what she had hoped would be her redemption.
Redemption is a word that is ringing loudly in Braddock’s mind lately. Not only does she want to redeem herself in the wrestling world but also in her private life as well. The British Bombshell understands all too well about how the decisions impacted her family. Her quest for unlimited power over her company and over any potential corporate rivals has put her entire family in jeopardy. Glory Braddock now finds herself entangled in the dark underbelly of organized crime.
It all began when she sought to take advantage of the arrest and subsequent federal charges against Matthew Alan, the former owner and founder of the company she now owns and operates, Global Wrestling Enterprise aka: GCW. The Alan Family had strong connections and influence over Glory’s Board of Directors. She hired a private investigator named Seth Rogers and a woman with deep connections to organized crime named Meagan Collins to assist Glory in wiping out the influence the Alan family had over her Board of Directors. While they were successful, the questionable tactics they chose to use has now made Glory and her family a target of none other than Jennifer Alan, Matthew’s sister and a woman who also has deep connections to organized crime.
Braddock and her friends and family have already been targeted for assassination on multiple occasions. None have ended in a death, luckily, but already both Glory’s husband Kurt and her mother Mary have been injured as a result of these assassination attempts. Jennifer Alan has ceased the attacks temporarily but she has already told Braddock in no uncertain terms that the violence will begin again if Glory Braddock does not sell the company back to the Alan family.
What should she do? Glory is torn. She wants to protect her family and thus part of her feels that the right thing to do is just sell the company back to the Alan family. But her own pride doesn’t want to quit. Glory Braddock was raised to be a fighter and to never submit in any situation. This attitude has led her to very rarely losing via submission in a wrestling ring. This attitude has been carried over into her private life as well. She does not want to just simply give up to Jennifer Alan. Glory’s best friend, Matthew Taylor, also tells her that giving in to Jennifer will not solve the problem.
Matthew Taylor...now there’s another problem Glory knows she will eventually have to deal with. Braddock has been cheating on her husband Kurt with Matthew. This is very unusual for Glory but she knows that this is her twisted, corrupt self...what she calls the monster...fighting to maintain control over Braddock’s actions. She knows she will have to deal with all of this soon enough, but the priority lies right now with the ongoing blood feud with the Alan family and Glory Braddock believes that she may have a solution.
The British Bombshell is looking forward to Breakdown on November 11th, because she will be competing in front of her hometown fans. Braddock is a hero in London, England and is excited about giving her fans a performance they will never forget. Unfortunately she cannot travel there quite yet. She has business to take care of in Raleigh, North Carolina. Braddock is no fan of North Carolina but the decision to do business here was not hers. North Carolina is the home of the Alan family and it is here where Jennifer wants to meet. She wants to have homefield advantage when meeting Jennifer Alan.
Braddock sits in the waiting room of Jennifer Alan’s small office building. The lovely blonde is wearing a simple attire of denim jeans, black flats, and a floral print silk purple colored blouse. Her long blonde hair hangs straight and unrestrained to below the shoulders.
The waiting room in this office is impressive but not elegant, assorted chairs, some comfortable, some upright with padded seats and carved backs, prints of country landscapes, magazines neatly arranged on a large central cherry wood table. A picture of a beach was sprawled on each wall, each depicting beautiful scenery: rolling waves on idyllic sand. Across from Glory was a tiny black wooden coffee table holding health magazines. Underneath it was a dull grey carpet that covered the whole room. A television hung in one corner displaying boring commercials.
The British Bombshell was too anxious to read any of the magazines or watch TV, so she just tapped my foot impatiently, her eyes never leaving the door. Glory knows that no one is here except for herself and Jennifer. Jennifer has a very small staff as it is and she has given her staff today off specifically for the purpose of this meeting. Yet despite the presence of no one else, Glory is still made to wait. This is no doubt a mind game being played by Jennifer Alan. Braddock will not let her win. Not this time. She will not be intimidated. She will do the right thing, no matter the consequences.
Braddock just hopes that this IS the right thing…
The SCW Adrenaline Champion waits a few more anxious minutes, stopping to check the time on her iPhone every little bit, before finally she hears the door unlatching. Glory steels herself as she watches the door open. Jennifer Alan steps out through the door. She is wearing a black pencil skirt, black patent leather high heel pumps, a white silk blouse, and a black suit blazer. A confident smirk is etched across her face as she takes appraisal of The British Bombshell.
“Sorry to keep you waiting, Glory.”
“No, you’re not.” Glory says with venom dripping from her voice. Jennifer chuckles.
“What’s with the hatred, Glory? I thought we were both businesswomen. This is professional. Just business.”
“Cut the charade, Jennifer. Let’s just be honest with ourselves. You don’t like me and I don’t like you.”
Jennifer’s smirk goes away. She stares stoically at Glory. “If that’s how you want it; but if you want honesty then let me say that I never wanted this war with you. You started it by targeting my family.”
“I know…” Glory’s voice trails off. As much as Glory hates to admit it, Jennifer is right. Glory started all of this. Now it is up to Glory to finish this.
“While we’re being honest, you look like trash.” Jennifer motions for Glory to stand up. Braddock sighs and does as she is told. “I liked your old style. What’s with this drab mess?”
“Are we here to do business or for you to criticize my fashion sense?”
“Both?” Jennifer says with that smirk returning to her face. Jennifer clearly believes that she has Glory over a barrel. Braddock just shakes her head.
“No, lets just get this over with.”
“Fair enough. I mean, you have obviously been through a tremendous amount of stress lately, what with all of your recent string of failures. You failed to capture the SCW World Championship. You failed to protect your family from those unfortunate attacks. You failed to capture the SCW Television Championship. And now you’re about to fail as a businesswoman by selling your company to me.” Jennifer pauses momentarily and then shrugs her shoulders. “Then again, come to think of it, failing as a businesswoman isn’t necessarily anything to be ashamed of, especially when you consider your business rival was me.”
“I wouldn’t exactly say my career as a businesswoman was a failure. Your family lost GCW due to corrupt bargains and bad business deals. The company your family then built went under. I bought it and brought it back from the brink and rebuilt it into the powerhouse it is today, rebranding it as Global Wrestling Enterprise.”
“That was my brother’s mistakes, not mine.” Jennifer says with a nasty scowl on her face.
“And you think you can do better than him?”
“I know I can do better than him.”
“All I hear is a bunch of arrogance. That’s the same arrogance that caused Matthew to not only lose his company but also to get caught by the federal government.” Glory smirks knowingly. “Has he been convicted yet?”
“Not yet but he will be. I admit my brother made many mistakes. But therein lies the advantage I have over him; I am the middle of three children and Matthew was the oldest. I grew up watching him and how he did business. I learned about business from him but most importantly I learned from his mistakes and will not repeat them.”
“That’s one thing we have in common, Jennifer. I, too, learn from my mistakes.”
Jennifer smirks. “I take it you’ve come to your decision then? The right one, I hope?”
“Yes.”
“Then let’s go and finalize this in my office, shall we?” Jennifer motions for Glory to follow her as she turns and walks towards her office. Jennifer enters first followed by Glory. Jennifer shuts the door. She motions to a seat by a large oak desk. “Take a seat, Braddock.”
Glory Braddock is beginning to feel somewhat uneasy about all of this. Everything she learned about the cutthroat world of business is telling her that this is a trap, that this is a bad decision on her part. But The British Bombshell also knows that she has few alternatives available to her. Jennifer will no doubt carry through her threat to continue the bloodbath and the assassination attempts if the company is not sold. Braddock sighs as she sits down in a chair. Meanwhile Jennifer walks over to a mini fridge and produces a bottle of red wine and a small glass.
“You like red wine, correct?”
“Yes.”
“Then I’ll treat you to some fine wine.” She winks as she pours Glory a glass of the wine and hands it to her. Braddock reluctantly accepts the glass. Jennifer then puts the wine back in the fridge. Braddock furrows her brow curiously.
“Aren’t you going to drink the wine?”
“Oh I will, but not the red.” She reaches back into the fridge and produces a bottle of white wine. “I prefer white.”
Braddock shrugs and takes a sip of her wine. Meanwhile Jennifer pours herself a glass of the white wine. She sets the wine back in the fridge and then sits down in front of the wood oak desk. Jennifer takes another sip of her wine and smiles.
“I love this...the sweet taste of victory.”
“Enjoy it while it lasts, Jennifer.” Braddock says nastily. Jennifer chuckles.
“Oh I will, don’t worry. And I will enjoy watching your star continue to plummet.”
“Let’s just get this over with.” Braddock snarls. Jennifer nods her head.
“Fine. Cut to the chase then.” Jennifer reaches inside of one of her desk drawers and produces a document. She slides it across the desk to Glory who takes another sip of her wine before taking the document. She looks it over and sees that it is a contract. She looks up at Jennifer and narrows her gaze.
“It’s a contract.”
“Yes, it facilitates the sale of Global Wrestling Enterprise to my family...or more specifically to me.”
“I thought this was a sale to your family. Instead you want me to sell to you and you alone?”
Jennifer nods her head triumphantly. “Well who else can run the place? My brother is about to go to prison, probably for the rest of his life.”
“What about Aurora? Have you forgotten your own sister?”
“Aurora is a nice girl but that’s the problem with her; she’s too nice. I think you and I both know that it takes a nasty streak to be successful. You, Glory, you’re losing that nasty streak and as for Aurora? Well she never had it.”
“Betraying your own sister, then?” Braddock quips. Jennifer just chuckles as she finishes off her wine.
“Don’t talk to me about betraying my own sister when you did the same thing yourself.”
“Yes, and I’m not exactly proud of it.”
“This is what I’m talking about, Braddock. You lost your touch.” Jennifer motions to the contract. “Now sign it and we can end this.”
Glory looks down at the contract and then back up at Jennifer. Braddock then smirks knowingly at Jennifer as she shakes her head. “No, not this time.”
“You’re refusing to sell?”
“No, I’m not refusing to sell. I’m just not selling on YOUR terms. You said this war would end when your family had ownership of the company again. I’m prepared to do just that. But not here and not now and definitely not that contract. My attorneys have already written a contract of my own design, one that will sell 49% share of the company to your sister, Aurora Alan. Furthermore the contract will name Aurora Alan as the new chair of the Board of Directors, putting an Alan family member in charge of a body that wants the nostalgia of the Alan family influence.”
“This was NOT our deal!” Jennifer is enraged as she stands straight up, towering over Braddock.
“I gave you exactly what you wanted; your family has its influence over the company again. It’s just not you. And that’s really the problem isn’t it? You’re no different than your brother, you are both corrupt and power hungry. Aurora is different, I can sense it, and that’s why I chose her. She is honest and truly wants what is best for the company.”
“You won’t get away with betraying me, Braddock.” Jennifer growls. “I hope you realize this.”
“I am pretty sure I will. I have done my homework, Jennifer and you’re right, you are far more careful than your brother. You won’t get your hands dirty in organized crime. You just put the bug in the ear of your supporters who are more than happy to get organized crime involved. But your supporters just wanted the Alan Family to have its influence back and the contract I had drawn up will give them that. It just needs Aurora’s signature and I am pretty sure your organized crime contacts will no longer come after me and my family.”
Jennifer stares coldly at Glory Braddock. Then a chuckle escapes her throat. “You’re right, I cannot control them. I am not like some mob boss who tells them what to do and so they will probably be satisfied with what you’ve done. But I am not satisfied, Glory. And I have also foreseen your betrayal and have come prepared for it.”
“What are you talking about?”
A sly smirk forms on Jennifer’s face. “You will never see it coming, Braddock.”
The British Bombshell stands up and points a finger in Jennifer’s face. “Look, threaten me all you want, but the fact is that you have no more leverage over me and you cannot and will not ruin a company I have grown to care deeply for. Now unless we have any further business to attend to I shall take my leave?”
“Fine…” Jennifer growls angrily “...but like I said, your betrayal was anticipated and I am prepared to exact my revenge.”
“Bring it on, Jennifer. I’ll be ready.”
Glory turns and walks away, storming out of Jennifer Alan’s office and slamming the door shut behind her. A smile forms upon Glory’s face as she does so, for she begins to feel good. She feels as if she is truly doing what she was meant to be doing; the right thing. She expects Jennifer to retaliate; Jennifer won’t take what Glory did lying down. But Braddock will be ready to handle whatever comes her way.

Miami, Florida

The bathroom had an earthy feel. The walls were large format tiles of white honed travertine and the floor was made of dull brown tiles. The vanities were of a dark wood and the counters were a brilliant white quartz. There was no bath but instead a huge walk in shower with two shower heads. Standing there in the bathroom was the honey blonde haired beauty Glory Braddock. Her form-fitting nightgown was a pristine white. It pooled around her like liquid silk. The silk caressed her skin like a cool autumn breeze. The British Bombshell stands before one of the vanities, staring at her reflection, checking herself over again and again, making sure everything is perfect. Is Glory Braddock perfect? No, far from it. She recognizes that now, especially after her own questionable judgment calls and actions led to her family being put in danger, being caught in the crossfire in a war between Glory Braddock and a powerful woman with connections to organized crime.
Did Glory have the best of intentions? Of course, but then again some of the worst things in human history have been done with the best of intentions. Glory’s crimes led to her company, her life, and her family’s lives all being put into jeopardy.
Greed is what twisted and corrupted Glory Braddock. She wanted it all; the company, her family, everything. But she nearly lost her family in her quest for ultimate power within the company and then she came to the brink of losing that as well when Jennifer Alan, the woman responsible for the recent string of attacks on Glory’s family, threatened to continue the violence if Braddock did not sign over the company. Greed is what got Glory into this mess and she knew that it would take a sacrifice to get herself and her family out of the crisis. So a few days ago, Glory Braddock signed away nearly half of her company, but not to Jennifer Alan.
Instead she signed it over to Jennifer’s sister Aurora Alan. The beautiful blonde can hardly believe that she actually did it. She has performed many courageous actions in the past, but she was scared to let go of the company she bought in 2012 and helped rebuild. Yet she did sign it away, a portion of it at least, and now she feels a great weight lifted off of her shoulders. And doing so has now removed her family from the danger zone. The criminal elements that wanted the Alan family in a position of power within the company will be satisfied and will no longer target her.
There now remains one last thing to take care of…
Braddock turns and exits the bathroom, stepping into the bedroom. She quickly removes the nightgown, tossing it aside. Braddock stands there in just a lace pair of matching bra and panties before walking to her closet. She opens it and reaches inside to find a plain purple blouse which she slips on over her head. Braddock walks over to a drawer and pulls out a pair of jeans which she pulls on. The British Bombshell walks over to the edge of the king size bed that she and her husband Kurt share. She picks up a picture on the nightstand and stares at it. The picture is of herself and Kurt during happier times, before any of these attacks happened, before Glory had this unhealthy obsession with power.
It is that unhealthy obsession with power, that greed, that corrupted Glory and turned her into a monster. That obsessive monster wanted more and more, including more than just Kurt Logan to make her happy. This monster wanted Matthew Taylor as well and had Glory cheating on Kurt as a result. Selling the company isn’t enough to fully get rid of the temptation, the greed. It may never fully go away. But to fully heal herself she knows what else she must do.
KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!
The knocking at the bedroom door indicates the arrival of a visitor. Braddock puts the picture back on the nightstand. “Come in.”
Glory listens as the door slowly creaks open. She stands up and turns around and spots Matthew Taylor entering the bedroom. Matthew himself has an uneasy look on his face as he enters this environment. It has been strange for Matthew, because while part of him desperately wants to be with Glory as her lover, he also does not want to ruin what Glory has built for herself with Kurt. He knows that any romantic relationship between the two of them will inevitably destroy the progress Glory has made in healing herself. Matthew does not want to do that. And therein lies the sacrifice he is willing to make; he can have Glory if he wants her and he knows it. But he wants to just let her go.
He hopes that is what this is about.
“So where are Kurt and Melinda?” Matthew asks nervously, hoping to go ahead and get the elephant in the room addressed right away. Glory, instead, avoids the subject altogether.
“I met with Jennifer on Friday.”
“How did that go?”
“As well as you said it would.” Glory says with a smirk on her lovely face.
“So we were right about Jennifer’s lack of control over her criminal element?” Matthew asks with an excited look upon his face. Glory nods her head.
“Jennifer has no control over them. They are loyal to the Alan family in general, not specifically to Jennifer herself. Handing Aurora Alan a sizable portion of the company was enough to make them happy.”
“I bet Jennifer wasn’t happy though.”
“Not a bloody bit!” Glory and Matthew share a hearty laugh as Matthew and Glory meet in the center of the room and embrace in a tight hug.
“Do you expect Jennifer will retaliate?”
“Oh I am sure she will. But it’s like you said, Matty, even if I had sold Jennifer the company that would not have protected me from her. She would have found some way to ruin and hurt me and my family simply because she’s spiteful.”
“Well, in her defense, Meagan Collins did strike her first. Acting on your behalf.” Matthew says with a stoic gaze on his face. Glory sighs and nods her head.
“I know. It’s all part of the consequences I am still dealing with. And I will deal with any and all consequences that come my way. I suppose it is all part of my path of redemption.”
The British Bombshell slowly approaches the king size bed, turning her back to Matthew. For his part, Matthew resists the temptation to embrace Braddock again. Glory walks over to the bed and sits down on the edge. Matthew stares at Glory longingly before speaking.
“You ok, Glory?”
“I’ve made terrible mistakes, Matty.”
“And you’re working hard to fix them.”
“That’s right, but one thing I did is going to sit on my conscience for a long time to come. And I think you know what that is.”
Matthew sighs deeply and nods his head. “Yeah…”
Glory motions for Matthew to come and sit down next to her on the bed. He walks over and sits down. He turns and gazes deeply into her eyes.
“Where’s Kurt?”
“He is with Melinda at my private gym in Miami training.” Glory smiles warmly. “Kurt was a rather successful professional wrestler himself. He may not be Melinda’s biological father but he treats her as his real daughter and he is a damn good father.”
“I bet he knows a few things to teach her about the wrestling business.”
“Hell yeah,” Glory says with a chuckle “that’s the great advantage Mel has, she has two parents, both of whom are professional wrestlers. Both Kurt and I can pass on our knowledge, and she can learn from Sophie [O’Brian] and Randall [Williams] at her grandfather’s wrestling school in London.”
“So I take it she’ll be ready for her big debut?”
“She will be, no doubt.” Glory states definitively.
“I bet this upcoming SCW tour is going to work well for you. The very first show is in London. You get to compete in front of your own hometown.”
“Yeah, it will be great. I love competing for my own nation, my own home fans; it is what my dad loved best and what I love best too.”
“And I can’t wait to go back there, myself.” Matthew says with a smirk. “It’s been too long since I’ve seen the old home place, y’know? My sister has me busy working here in Miami all the bloody time.”
Braddock sighs deeply and shakes her head. “Matty, I’d rather you not come.”
“Seriously?” Matthew asks, furrowing his brow out of curiosity. Glory nods her head in confirmation.
“That’s part of why I wanted to talk with you today. Maybe you can come to Germany but that’s probably a bad idea too, you definitely shouldn’t come to London, though. During this tour we need to spend time apart. This thing between you and I has to end. You do know this, right?”
“Yeah, I do…” Matthew says, his voice trailing off and the pained expression on his face suggests that he does not like this news very much.
“This doesn’t mean we’re no longer friends. I do want you to be my friend, but that’s the extent of our relationship; you are my friend. It cannot be anything more than that.” She casts a guilty gaze upon the picture of herself and Kurt. “I have cheated on Kurt, the man I love, my husband...and it is eating me up inside…”
“You’re feeling guilty?”
“Of course!” Glory exclaims loudly. “Why wouldn’t I feel guilty?!”
“Because the person you were becoming had no conscience. The person you were becoming would have done anything to get whatever she wanted, regardless of whether it was right or wrong.” Matthew smiles warmly. “The fact that you are feeling guilty is a sign that you’re back, Glory. It’s a good thing that you feel guilty.”
“Sure as hell doesn’t feel good to me…”
“It doesn’t feel good, I know. But trust me when I say that in the end this is for the best. Like you said, you have some consequences heading your way. This guilt you’re feeling is just part of that.”
Braddock nods her head. “I know…”
Matthew does still want Glory Braddock and the news that he cannot have her is tough to bear, but he also recognizes that this is what is best for everyone involved. Still, even as a friend he can be there for Glory. He wraps a comforting arm around Braddock’s shoulders.
“You’ll pull through it, Glory. I know it.”
“Will I?” Glory seems unsure of herself. “Julia still doesn’t trust me, I can expect more retaliation from Jennifer Alan, and I can’t help but worry about my company now that I handed some control over to Aurora Alan.”
“Aurora isn’t like Matthew or Jennifer. She is trustworthy and you know this. You did the right thing by handing the company over. Jennifer may not like what you did but she’ll just have to get over it.”
“What about Julia?” Glory asks.
“You will earn her trust back. It may take time but I know you will. The two of you have been through so damn much and it will take much more than a little spat like this to tear you apart.”
Braddock arches her brow out of curiosity. “Little spat? Mate, we’ve been feuding damn near all our lives.”
“And you two will fight through it and your relationship will become stronger than ever because of it. Just like yours with Kurt.”
Braddock sighs and lowers her head again. “Yeah, Kurt…”
“You do know that you have to tell him, don’t you?”
“I don’t know if I want to.”
“You have to deal with this. It will come out eventually.”
“No it won’t.” Glory says defiantly. “No one knows, no one but the two of us.”
“Glory…” Matthew’s voice trails off as he prepares to caution, warn his friend. But Braddock shakes her head.
“No one knows about it except us, Matty. And we’ve ended it. So we’re good. The two of us are good and this stays secret. Never again will this see the light of day. Are we clear?”
Matthew stares into Braddock’s pleading eyes. He senses this is a mistake but gives in to his friend’s longing gaze. He nods his head in agreement. “Yeah, fine.”

Berlin, Germany
On Camera
==========
It is dark at night with just a few lone spotlights shining down, including the natural spotlight of the moon, which in reality is just a reflection of the suns rays off of the moon’s surface itself. Still creates for a brilliant spectacle outside of the Mercedes-Benz Arena in Berlin, Germany where Supreme Championship Wrestling just capped off the one of its stops on its tour. It is still and silent out here, eerily silent; but that all is put to an end when the clicking of heels across the hard pavement are heard. A few moments later the source of the clicking presents itself; it is none other than Glory Braddock, who steps into view from stage right. The British Bombshell is wearing denim jeans, black high heel boots, and a purple silk blouse. Her long blonde hair is left straight and unrestrained to past the shoulders. Her SCW Adrenaline Championship title belt is draped over her right shoulder. A confident grin is etched across her lovely features.
“What you saw earlier tonight was called a receipt. Some call it payback or revenge but as a wrestler born and bred in this business and its traditions, I prefer the name the old school grapplers use; the receipt. And what you saw tonight when I cracked Tommy Valentine in the skull with the Adrenaline Championship belt…” she proudly pats her title belt that rests over her shoulder “...well that was a receipt.”
Braddock points a long slender finger at the camera, as if pointing at Tommy himself. “And you only have yourself to blame for this, Tommy. It’s also your fault for what happened to your little gal pal Kandis. I hold no grudges against her, personally. She was just in the wrong place at the wrong damn time. Also, there is an old saying and it has something to do with lying down with dogs and waking up with fleas. Now in the past people would say that to Tommy in relation to Kandis being the dog. But there’s no need to insult Kandis in that manner when the real bitch in that relationship is Tommy Valentine.”
“And you’re not only a bitch but you are an insult to professional wrestlers everywhere. You look at someone like me and I bust my ass each and every time I set foot inside that ring. Every time that bell rings I give it my all. Every match I compete as if my own damned career is on the line. But what about you? What is the Tommy Valentine philosophy?” Braddock shakes her head. “No, far from it actually. Your philosophy is work hard only when it benefits you. You only bust your ass when you feel it is worth your time. Your team with Kandis seemed to motivate you but it wasn’t the thrill of competition or the love of the sport, you were motivated by Kandis’s ass or the prospects of her spreading her damn legs for you. And then there’s only one other thing that motivates you and it happens to be the same thing you and I both are chasing right now; championship gold.”
Braddock nods her head. “You chase gold. You are a gold digger and that is all. When you are in the championship discussion you finally decide to act like the badass competitor you are truly capable of being. When championships or some other accolade is on the line you give it your all. But if you’re just on the midcard, if you’re just in any other normal match with nothing special on the line, you half-ass it. You act as if it isn’t worth your time and you deny the fans, you deny this sport, and you deny the company.”
“Funny thing is, you had your opportunity and it was a golden opportunity; one on one against Bree Lancaster but what happened?” She smirks. “In typical Tommy Valentine fashion you screwed up. As per the usual for you, you squandered your opportunity. And that’s why you attacked me, isn’t it? You lost, you failed, and in all honesty you should not even be in this position. And you know it, you know in your heart and soul that you do not belong in the title conversation any longer because you had your shot and you failed. A true competitor would work their way back to the top and earn their opportunity. And that’s what I look forward to in this title series. I look forward to beating the best SCW has to offer and earning my SCW World Championship opportunity.”
She shakes her head. “But not you, you’d rather go about things a sneaky way. You wanted to make sure you were still in the conversation, you wanted to make sure Sasha, Katya, or whoever the hell gets to make the decisions keeps you in the title hunt, and you did that by attacking me. And now lucky you, you’re in a position to potentially claim a world championship match. Congratulations you spoiled little, brat.” Braddock sarcastically claps for Tommy.
“But you have a problem and that problem isn’t Ravyn Taylor, because I’ll whip her ass too. Your problem is me and I am The Best in the World. You have made an enemy out of me, Tommy, and that is a mistake that you will regret. You want to get a world title opportunity? You want all that gold around your waist? Well I’m going to be the bitch that denies you of your opportunity. You cost me the SCW Television Championship, you cost me a clean win over Asher Hayes, and so now I will make you pay, I will get my bloody receipt by costing you the SCW World Championship. I guarantee it. Sic Semper Tyrannis, bitch!” Braddock turns and walks off screen stage left. The camera fades to black.
