Hudson was attacked by Raab, Minerva, Kandis and Valentine several weeks back. A fight with Kandis was only the start, but add the Taking Hold of the Flame battle royal on the horizon, and Raab and Hudson both entrants into it, although likely for different personal reasons, this could be a match both look back to as being a turning point in their personal goals going forward.

Is Syren starting to reconsider Infamous plans? Will Ravyn Taylor care? And what do they make of someone like Kat Kelly who likely is familiar to members of Infamous but for a number of very different reasons. Regardless, the tag partner of CHBK’s illegitimate daughter Lexy Chapel, and member of LEXY CHAPEL PRESENTS LEXYCORP’S LEXILICIOUS LEXY’S ANGELS, will be looking to quickly make more waves for the group. What will happen with CHBK and Lexy both at ringside? And will Ravyn Taylor still be business as usual even while there may be some disagreements behind the scenes?

Gavin Taylor had a big win on Breakdown. He also has a big task in front of him at Taking Hold of the Flame, but before then, he faces someone who has beaten him with gold on the line before. Glory Braddock meanwhile has her own goals and this likely has something to do with her discussion with Mr. D a few weeks back. We know she has her eye on more SCW gold, but she’s not fully told us what that is. What we can assume is that this match, win or lose, will be a big one for both competitors.

SCW Television Championship

Bison Jones is the new TV Champion, although the celebration could have been much different if Adam Allocco was in any degree of sobriety. Meanwhile, he faces Jessica Lasiewicz. Some insiders have been curious about this decision. Rumours have it that Jessica herself asked for it. Why? Some believe it’s a way for them to return to the tag ranks and Jessica is trying to refocus Vengeance heading into Rise to Greatness season. We’ll see what happens with TV Gold on the line!

Breakdown Card – May 27, 2021
Selena Frost vs. Holly Adams
Selena Frost faced Asher Hayes in what turned into a mugging by Hayes and his life coach, Holly Adams. Holly also managed to blindside Deanna at ringside, adding a level of personal vendetta to this contest. Selena Frost will now go one on one with Holly Adams, but the A/C Unit will likely be at ringside, as will Deanna.
 
Minerva vs. Jordan Majors
Minerva was yet again up to her old tricks, threatening those close to David Helms and Chris Cannon. Jordan Majors said she’d make sure Minerva would not win Taking Hold of the Flame. But there’s a lot more to come until then and on Breakdown, Majors will stand up for her friends against Minerva, while we hear this match was booked intentionally to limit Minerva’s movement to keep her predictable. Will that work out?
 
Josh Hudson vs. Konrad Raab
Hudson was attacked by Raab, Minerva, Kandis and Valentine several weeks back. A fight with Kandis was only the start, but add the Taking Hold of the Flame battle royal on the horizon, and Raab and Hudson both entrants into it, although likely for different personal reasons, this could be a match both look back to as being a turning point in their personal goals going forward.

Waiting on a couple of matches to be submitted and then a handful of finishing touches. Hopefully tonight or first thing tomorrow for BD and BD cards until THOTF.

Hi all,

I've been giving some things some thought. There are a couple of things I should emphasize as to why I'm considering this:

1) The roster is aging but also has a lot of greater responsibility outside of the fed
2) A number of people have noted the growing issue of finding time to properly commit their characters or they suffer from burn out.

I've already made some changes to the schedule, namely adding an extra week off before pay per views. At the same time, SCW is a relic. I've made no secret that I am stubborn, having run SCW a certain way now for nearly 18 years. This includes a lack of word limits on roleplays and an encouragement for people to write as they wish (within certain parameters). But hearing that others are turning to other feds (for completely legitimate reasons) and that SCW hasn't recruited much fresh blood as of late, despite our reputation for being a strong, competitive fed with a lengthy track record, I've started to think very seriously about SCW's future. Simply put, for it to continue, it needs to rejuvenate in one way or another. Either it needs new fresh handlers to provide an influx of new ideas, stories, etc. or it needs to be friendlier to existing handlers in our circle to be able to commit to roleplaying and, I hope, enjoying SCW...or it needs to be both (and ideally, this would be the case).

As a result, I've debated changing the roleplay rules in SCW, but with a twist. For those of us who have been in the game a long time, pay per views were traditionally seen as the show people went all out for. Why not reaffirm the classic parts of the hobby we fell in love with while making the week to week less onerous?

So I propose the following option:

- Word and rp limits for Breakdown (2000 to 2500 words per RP, with 2 RP limits for singles is what I would propose - this allows enough room to tell a story, and also write a strong promo);
- PPVs only have a RP limit (allowing roleplayers to focus more on ppvs);
- Non-TV title title matches (so World, US, Tag and Adrenaline) would also operate under PPV rules, thus emphasizing their importance.
- TV Title would only be defended on Breakdowns and operate under BD rules, making it unique by emphasizing this new format.

My hope is that this would allow handlers to still be involved week to week, with less commitment, be friendlier to new handlers who may want to join SCW but are turned off by the lack of word limits, while allowing still an emphasis on storytelling and strong promo writing broadly-speaking, and especially for more important matches and events.

Thoughts?

From Associated Press: We have just learned that Monday afternoon, SCW Wrestler and former World Champion Bree Lancaster was attacked while at a photo studio in downtown New Orleans. Jude Nelson, a photographer based out of New York City, had leased the studio for the month while in New Orleans for several gigs. According to the NOPD, Nelson - a former associate of Lancelot Crane, fashion photographer currently in prison for murder - lured Lancaster to his studio under the premise of being interested in photographing she and actor Dominic Teller's upcoming wedding. Instead, he allegedly confessed to Lancaster that he was the person behind the recent partially-nude photo leaks, in retaliation for lost business following the Dior photo shoot scandal nearly two years ago. In the attack, Lancaster was assaulted with a knife, resulting in a minor laceration on her neck. Other than some minor bruising from being pushed around, she is otherwise okay.

Bree Lancaster has been cleared to compete at tomorrow night's SCW Breakdown event in Mexico City, where she faces World Champion Cid Turner, with the championship on the line.
