Breakdown – January 6, 2021
 
Giovanni Aries vs. Blake Mason
After months of focusing on Kelcey Wallace and the Perfect Pack, Giovanni Aries returns to action on Breakdown to face off against Kelcey Wallace’s fiancé, Blake Mason. Blake Mason is looking to get a big win to start 2021, but not just that, fighting for his fiance’s honour. Giovanni Aries meanwhile has only enhanced his reputation as someone to be watched and Sienna Swann will undoubtedly be looking to see Aries humiliate Mason.
 
Syren CHBK vs. James Evans
Syren normally has the contracts, but apparently this is what James Evans was referring to at the End of the Year Special. CHBK will return to the ring for the first time in what feels like forever. James Evans will be able to get some revenge against one of the most decorated wrestlers in SCW history and Syren will be forced to stand back and watch.
 
Minerva vs. Maria Salvatore
Two newer stars in SCW look to start 2021 with a win. Minerva is someone people see a big future for in SCW, but Maria Salvatore has shown an ability to do whatever is necessary. One of them will look to start off the new year on the right foot in SCW in 2021.
 
The Light in the Darkness in action
The highest anticipated debut of Amelia Blythe and La Paquena Luz on Breakdown. They will show off why SCW coursed them for months.

Owen Cruze and Aaron Blackbourne need to keep their winning ways alive to win the bloc; will Playtime and Adams come together to play spoiler? And then one of the most anticipated matches of the Tag League, Frozen Hell will face Majors and Dreams.

January 13 card coming up shortly.

Everyone,

I started to write this in the 2021 goals thread and quickly realized it wasn't appropriate there. That is a thread that is all about hope, and this one is about confusion. 2020 ends today and with it 25 years of efedding for me. I love this game. I love the fact that when times in my life get rough, I can create a world and then get lost in it. Most of all though, I love all of you, my friends I have made in this game. My online family, a family that I will never walk away from. The trouble is though I am just trying to find the motivation to write for my characters. Instead I want to get a job in my career field. That is what excites more than I ever imagined. I have filled out including yesterday 15 job applications in my career field in less than two weeks, and that is knowing that right now, colleges and universities are on holiday break and so I know that I won't hear anything till at least for another week. I am looking to be a academic advisor, which is something that I know that I am going to love because it means my job will be to put other people first by assisting students in finding the path they want to choose for themselves academically and in life. I also want to help my Mom get her first home in her life, something that I know that I will need more income coming in for and I am helping my sister plan her wedding in a little less than 9 months.

So, I have a lot on my plate right now, and maybe that is why my motivation to write for my characters is so lacking at this point. I will write for the matches that I am already scheduled for. That's just how I am, I try desperately not to no show. I have been trying to get the creative juices flowing too. I have taken two ideas to Olek in discord, 1 concerning a new character and 1 concerning a current character, but when I think writing them out it just feels like too much work, and I have always told myself that when this stopped being a game and started becoming work...

My SCW goal for 2021 is something that should be easy: Desire- I want a reason to want to play this game again. For 19 months I was chasing my Masters Degree, and I had to be online all the time. It worked. I graduated with a 3.84 GPA. When I wasn't working on school, I was writing role plays just for something to get my mind off from school for a bit. Now though, I thought with my time freed up, I would want to play more, and I just don't. I want to want to, but I would be lying if I said that is the case currently, and I don't know where that leaves me. It's not the characters, I love my characters. I just don't have the motivation to write, and I don't know how to get it back right now.

Yep, it's that time of the year again guys and as you know, I love threads like this. Tell us what you guys and girls got in mind.

Entrance Description:

(The entire arena turns into a crimson red color as "Crimson Bow & Arrow" by Epica begins to play.  The  crowd boos loudly as Anastasia Ivanova steps out onto the stage.  She is dressed for action and a sadistic grin is on her face as she ponders what she is about to do. She playfully and somewhat maniacally skips down to the ring almost like a child. She rounds a corner and begins to ascend the steel steps, steps onto the ring apron, and poses for the fans.  Finally Anastasia steps into the ring and steps to the center where she spins and twirls around several times before posing one final time. The music slowly dies down and Anastasia heads to a corner and waits for the match to begin.)

Anastasia is psychotic, sadistic, and very violent.  But she is surprisingly controlled inside of a wrestling ring and can mat wrestle with the best of them.

Biography:

Anastasia Tatyana Ivanova is the daughter of Nicola Ivanova, a Russian prostitute that once worked for the Bratva, the Russian Mafia. Bart Jones, father of future wrestling stars Angelica and Kayla Jones and an agent for the FBI, was overseas on a rogue trip to assassinate a member of the Bratva that he felt was responsible for his wife’s death.  While overseas, Bart met Nicola and felt moved to adopt her child, Anastasia, as his own and bring her back to the United States, away from the dangers of The Russian Mafia.

Anastasia Ivanova debuted in Global Championship Wrestling at the Extreme Prejudice pay per view under the name Crimson as part of Mason Van Stanton’s Genesis faction.  Her fist match was as part of a six person tag against The Disciples of The Dragon.  Anastasia and her Genesis teammates picked up the win.  She was defeated by Yuri Bryzgalov on the following Shotgun.  She also lost to the Knock Out Champs in tag team match the next Shotgun.  Anastasia would get a Television Championship Match against Rocky O’Reilly but instead of trying to win, she used it as an opportunity to lure the champion into a trap, allowing Genesis to gang assault him.  The following week Anastasia and her Genesis teammate Leviathan won a tag team match for the group.  At All Hallow’s Eve, Anastasia and her Genesis crew fell in defeat to a team led by Isabella Harker.

The Genesis group fell apart shortly after All Hallow’s Eve and Anastasia was allowed to manage her own career.  After destroying her former master, Mason Van Stanton, at The End of Year Bash, Anastasia knew it was time to move on.  Mason Van Stanton had been her master, but this time she merely got the assistance of an agent; Donovan Cunningham.  She defeated Alan Shields in a tournament quarter finals but fell to Travis Vessey in the semi-finals.  In what would be an ironic twist of fate, she would team with her new allies in the Donovan Cunningham camp and defeat her former Genesis allies in a six person tag.  She failed to become number one contender to the X Division Title via battle royal but she moved forward, teaming with Cailey Carter to defeat Chantelle Chambers and Pierce Manning.  They lost a rematch two weeks later.

Eventually the secret got out that Anastasia was the adopted sister of Angelica and Kayla Jones. A family feud erupted and Anastasia got to face off against the matriarch, Angelica Jones, in a losing effort.  Anastasia would seemingly fall off the radar for a few weeks until resurfacing to attack her adoptive sisters again. Anastasia fought Kayla in the weeks leading up to Civil War but fell in defeat.  In another tag team effort, Anastasia and Cailey Carter defeated Wrestling Purity.  At Resurrection, Anastasia failed to capture the X Division Championship in a Global X Match.

Anastasia would get traded to the Livewire Brand.  In her first match as a member of the Livewire Brand, Anastasia defeated Richard Zane.  In a Lethal Lottery Tag Match she and Eric Chambers lost to Jason Redfield and Drake Dillon.  Anastasia lost in an eight person tag elimination match and in a singles match to Timothy Myers but rebounded in a tag match with her Donovan Cunningham partner, Rex Sanders, against Trenton Snow and Timothy Myers.  She defeated Matty Graves and Meagan Collins to earn a shot at the GCW International Championship but failed to capture the gold.  She fought the champion again in a non-title match but still got defeated.  Anastasia would face Loretta Inglewood and lose again.  In a tag team match she teamed with Brittany Kayl to defeat Blood Rose.  This would lead to a tag team match pitting her and Kayl against Jessica Lasiewicz and Loretta Inglewood for the International Championship.  The first person to pick up a pin or submission would be the champion.  Jessica retained the title.

She participated in a four way contender’s match but lost to Olivia.  At Resurrection she accepted an open challenge to face Hannah Myers but lost.  She did battle against Jazmyn Rain but lost.  Anastasia bounced back and defeated Hannah Kristiansen.  She accepted a pay off from Jenni Anderson to forfeit the match to her.  She lost an Inter-Brand Battle Royal at For Glory & Gold.  Anastasia would get traded back to Shotgun and defeated Destiny Skye in one on one action.  Anastasia would form an alliance with Ginger Nation exile Karina Lysenko, they called themselves The Soviet Gingers.  Immediately they found themselves at odds with Hannah Myers and Destiny Skye.  Controversy won their first one on one match.

Sophie O’Brian and The Soviet Gingers would defeat Controversy and JaMarcus Avery in a six person tag.  The Soviet Gingers would face off against Anastasia’s family, Angelica Kayla, in a tag team match.  The Sisterhood prevailed.  The Soviet Gingers would have the last laugh as they would win the Any Given Night Tag Team Gauntlet at Survival of the Fittest to become the Undisputed GCW Tag Team Champions.  The Soviet Gingers successfully defended their titles against Total War.   In a six person tag Nate Lawson and Twin Magic defeated Casey Holiday and The Soviet Gingers.  The Soviet Gingers defeated Controversy to retain the tag team championship at End of the Year Bash.

Controversy would not quit.  Hannah Myers defeated Anastasia Ivanova one on one.  Controversy would pick up another win over the Soviet Gingers in a six person tag team match.  The Soviet Gingers defended the tag titles successfully in a joke of a gauntlet against opponents they hand selected.  The Soviet Gingers defeated Revelations to retain their tag titles.  Then at Civil War, Controversy would face Soviet Gingers one more time in a ladder match for the gold. It ended, appropriately enough, in controversy when Hannah Myers turned on Destiny and took possession of both belts for herself.  A high priced lawyer from the faction known as Apocalypse allowed The Soviet Gingers to overturn the decision and keep their belts.

This also marked the beginning of Anastasia’s allegiance with Apocalypse and the point at which she finally made peace with her adoptive sisters Angelica and Kayla.  The Soviet Gingers, though, would lose their next match to Brooklyn Smith and Victoria Salinas.  Apocalypse would win an eight person tag team match, showing their power.  Anastasia attempted to capture the GCW X Division Championship but failed to defeat Julia Braddock.  The Soviet Gingers defeated Glory and Julia Braddock to retain the Tag Team Championship.  Apocalypse won another eight person tag, defeating the formidable stable of Britain’s Best.  Unfortunately, the Soviet Gingers lost the Undisputed Tag Team Championship to Twin Magic at Resurrection.  They Soviet Gingers immediately invoked their rematch clause but lost again to Twin Magic at the GCW Draft Show.  It was there that Anastasia got drafted back to Livewire.  At Livewire  Presents Purgatory, Anastasia failed to capture the GCW North American Championship from Andrea Hernandez.  The following Livewire it was supposed to be Karina’s turn but she faked an injury to put Anastasia back into the match in her place.  Karina revealed her deceit and helped Anastasia to defeat Hernandez to become the new GCW North American Champion.  The following Livewire, Anastasia would participate in a War Games Match along with her Apocalypse stable mates and Aubrianna Powers and Casey Holiday.  Anastasia’s team prevailed.
