BD card for next week will go up tomorrow, hopefully in the morning. I'm barely keeping my eyes awake - second last week of full teaching so the light is at the end of the tunnel. I hope to get BD up tomorrow and then should be in better shape next week before finally back to a schedule that can allow me to get on top of things again.

I know it's a broken record, but again, I need to thank everyone for their patience. I know late shows are a pain and can be discouraging. I just hope the quality makes them worth the wait.

Been thinking about holding off until Monday to see if it would change how I feel, but the more I think about it the more I believe it won’t make much of a difference. I said to myself and to a couple others privately in the run up to Retribution that if I wasn’t successful I would be re-evaluating the time I’ll be spending with SCW on a whole or at the very least reduce the number of Characters I run. I still have plenty of ideas for my characters and I have enjoyed writing a lot lately, and felt it’s been the best I’ve done in quite a while personally.  One of my goals was to get the World title with Chris which I have now done although would have liked to keep it longer if I’m honest. But I never thought I’d reach that goal in the first place and I owe that to Doug, so thanks again.

But with my new Job on the horizon as well as having been off work which feels like an eternity due to this pandemic, I need to get back into a far more stable routine and staying up all hours to write isn’t really ideal. Which is the reason for this post,  I know I could give it till Rise to Greatness like we usually always say, but at the moment I don’t think I want to, so won’t prolong the inevitable this time like I did last year after Taking Hold of the Flame.

That said I do want to thank Olek for all he has done personally, without him this place wouldn’t exist at all and everything he does put into the place is appreciated. Especially lately with how busy he’s been himself due to teaching. The same goes to all of you who contributed to help with the shows as well, you’re all legends.

But we're now at that point of the post where I tell you all I won’t be an active writer going forward here in SCW. I made friends during my time here and look forward to staying in touch as always as well as hang out on discord. But that is about all I can and want do right now. 

Thanks for everything.

Jon.

I lost and it meant nothing. God was dead, died a long time ago. Time, the only God that matters made sure of this.

It used to be when it happened I would see people smiling in the back. Tonight it happens and no one cares. The mission was simple. For as much as I am just the so-called petty, vindictive piece of shit, I meant every word I said. It was my job to make it evident to the man that he was going to be nothing more than a minor stepping stone in a game just not meant for us anymore.

I tried. I really did. My body isn't what it used to be, I am not anywhere near as agile as I used to be. These wounds, they aren't going to heal like they used to. Everything was done in vain. Cid would one day get his rude awakening but it wouldn't be from me. It would be up to time to now prove me right when the inevitable would occur. It wouldn't be because he wasn't once good enough. It would just happen because Time is a mother fucker, a spiteful God with no cares for futile attempts at reliving past glories and nostalgia.

As the medic attended to my cut open forehead, I question what was even the point. I couldn't do anything.

Looking up as the main event started, I smile. At least I robbed us both of the indignity of him having to make the feeble attempt here. He could watch his f***** partner get massacred by a real man. The smile is short-lived I cough and holy shit does it hurt. Leaning down, I break into a coughing fit and just wish the medic would do the right thing and put me out of my fucking misery.

The medic glances at me and tells me to lay there for a bit. Then she goes back to her phone. It was just another day for her.

I watched the match a bit longer, already growing bored of it all. It wasn't until the crowd began to roar I assumed things would end and it would all be-

It was then looking up I could see the crippled idiot coming down the ramp.

Just, why?

Why?

Fucking why?

I wish I could say he achieved something going through me but he didn't. I am nothing more than a used old bitter old man. We'd both be better off dead. Watching him get into the ring, I try to remember him for what he was. This poor imitation, this weaker, slower depressing form, driven by nothing more than will alone. It was a tragedy waiting to happen.

Just let him be happy. Even if it's just for a minute.

Maybe that's the only way to look at it. I don't know. It'll end horrifically but sure.

Something strange begins to unfold as I am watching this though, trying my damnedest not to cough. For some reason one of the retarded blondes comes out of no where. Just as the match seems ready to end as it should, Cid and his handler being handily crushed-

Are you serious?

...

The crowd boos as the ending comes to be and then all I feel is pain. I ignore it, I can't help it now. I laugh.

"Haha- Aahh- hahahahhahahahahaha! HAHAHAHAHA! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

It hurts. It fucking hurts to laugh and I don't care. The medic looks at me briefly, clearly annoyed and I give her the finger. She looks upset and that's her problem. I begin to cough, interrupting this and it doesn't matter. What a cruel, silly, joke that was.

Cid Turner is the new World Champion through sheer idiocy brought on by random dumb luck. Which has always been a fascinating attribute to possess in the wrestling industry as a whole.

He's a walking tragedy waiting to happen but he wanted his five minutes of fame back. I wasted all efforts just as I've wasted everything else. My talent, my looks, my time. There would never be a reemergence of my bright shiny star. I guess Cid just got his wish. By sheer happenstance.

He was a pathetic mockery of the man he used to be. I'd never admit it but I still felt something coming on. I bet he was going to have a great fucking week. Better than everyone else's.

I need a drink and a noose.

I need this show off please. I will be out of town the weekend before (8th to 11th), and I'm getting my 2nd dose vaccine shot the 12th, so I may not be up to writing if it makes me feel bad. They can appear of course, just please don't book me. Thanks.

I've been taking some of this weekend to think - Long story short, for those who don't know, I teach. And while normally I've had a lot of this figured out and be much more on top of it, the shift to remote learning has meant a lot more screen time and just a lot more work.

This past week, in particular, despite my best efforts, I've hit my wall. I find myself just forcing myself through everything. To put it another way, I've not taken a true break in a long, long time. And it's caught up, especially when virtually everything I do, from work, to my professional development, to this hobby, is all online, all using very similar skills.

Simply put, while it sometimes feels like that end to my time in the game may be faster and faster approaching, I also still enjoy writing the shows and coming up with the content. I just don't have the time and while it's easy for me to blame it in the guantlet match, I not only agreed to it but looked forward to writing the match. I also still think that's the best Breakdown I've written in years. It however, because of the effort I put into it, only served to snowball the fact that a year into this pandemic, I can keep brute forcing my way through my schedule, hoping that I'll get my chance to rest at the end.

So, after much though, I'm going to do something for myself. Retribution will be up, I hope, in the next couple of days, but I'm going to push the schedule back a week - so the March 25 card will now be for April 1 and so forth. I'll probably shave a week from the RtG build. But this is done to allow myself to take the time to frankly get on top of my work and also take some time for myself, reset, and then I can get back into the swing of things. Helping matter is that the term is over in three weeks and I'll have much less week-to-week work to worry about. I realize this may annoy some, but at some point, I need to make the best decision for myself.

• Chelsea Smile: Kat applies an inverted face lock before transitioning the hold into a double knee backbreaker, aka the back cracker/lung blower.
  

• #SuperkickSoiree: Superkick. A nod to her former tag team in IWC, w/ Lexy Chapel. This is definitely a move that can be done from nowhere, or it can be teased for the majority of the match. It was a large part of the gimmick of Wicked Intent in IWC and Kat treats it as such to this day. 
  

• Trinitas: Kat grabs her opponent's arm and first twists underneath it to apply pressure, before then jumping and dropping back with a double knee armbreaker, which she then transitions into an armbar for the submission victory.
  

• Shining wizard
  
• Snapmare, followed by dropkick to back of head
  

• Japanese Arm drag
  
• Hip toss
  
• Dropkick
  
• Dragonscrew Leg whip
  
• Back body drop
  
• Running headscissors
  
• Hurricanrana
  
• European uppercut
  
• Hesitation dropkick to seated opponent in corner
  
• Spinning heel kick
  
• Savate kick
  
• Moonsault
  
• Shooting star press
  
• Ankle lock+leg drop onto said ankle after applying pressure
  
• Snapmare driver
  
• Baseball slide
  
• Mule kick
  
• Corkscrew senton to a standing opponent
  
• Sitout jawbreaker
  

• Well trained by her sister, Trinity Street
  
• Kat is incredibly fast and nimble inside of a wrestling ring, so unless her opponents can catch hold of her and keep her grounded, they are going to struggle to contain her. 
  
• Fast learner. Kat picked up her in-ring knowledge much quicker than what is to be expected, and has developed an impressive ability to think on the fly or adapt quickly. She rarely makes the same mistake twice as a result. 
  

• Cocky. Kat has a big mouth and is overly confident, which can often lead to her taking a blase approach to matches, which can work to her detriment. 
  
• Hot headed. Kat has a bit of a temper when things don’t go her way, and has been known to allow that anger clouds her judgement
  
• Small size. While this allows her to be quick and nimble inside of a ring, against larger opponents, there is a limited amount of damage she will be able to do to them.
