Hello to all of my blossoming roses out there…
I just want to say from the bottom of my heart that I appreciate each and every single one of you. I know when I first came to this company it was to be that of a hype train. I know I came in as a friend of Syren and I instantly thought that was going to propel me to new heights. I thought being friendly with Holly Adams was really going to bring me to another level. In all honesty I saw them as a meal ticket inside. If I could befriend huge stars in turn that would only make me amazing in the long run, and everything else would fall into place.
I always knew I had all of the power in the world to be legendary.
I knew I had the tools to be better than great.
I just needed to reach inside and push towards that goal. It’s sad though because as great as I know I am when I came to this company I was honestly in a terrible place. In the company that I was competing for I felt like I was underused. I had this overwhelming feeling of being underappreciated and all of my followers on Twitter started dropping.
I honestly don’t know where I went wrong. Perhaps it was a case of me putting my foot in my mouth when I would have been better remaining silent. It didn’t stop there. People really started to not give a shit about me when I made some horrible remarks when it came to race and color. I truly didn’t mean anything bad about it. I just made an opinion during the start of the NFL football season. When the Texans and the Chiefs played one another in the very first week I stated that I thought the message of Black Lives Matter was a tad overkill. This is me saying this as a woman who happens to be mixed, half African American and Half Mexican. It didn’t matter to anybody though. Instead of respecting my opinion I was labeled everything under the sun.
I was told I was a racist, I was told that I was horrible, and it really took me to a dark place. I have been called so many different things throughout my life but I know being a racist isn’t one of them. I am very proud of who I am and when people wish to tell me that I don’t have a sense of pride or anything else like that. I honestly find that to be quite full of shit.
I know for a fact that I am proud of myself, even when I don’t show it properly.
Now I know what all of you sitting there at home watching my promo are asking yourselves. What does any of this have to do with my wrestling career or even being in Supreme Championship Wrestling?! The truth is it has EVERYTHING to do with it because as a prideful person I don’t like standing in front of all of you, and not giving anything close to my very best.
Whenever I put my name on something I want people to understand that I am for real. That I am ready and willing to go above and beyond to prove a point! I want people to know that I want to do things at 110 percent and anything less than that is a failure on my part. Since I came to this company I will be the first to admit that I came here for all of the wrong reasons. I wasn’t here to be the best or to climb through the ranks. I only joined the company because I felt like this was a place where I could feel appreciated again. To be quite frank I wouldn’t you all to stroke my ego because who wouldn’t want a 17 year veteran on their roster. I thought it could be a place where I could put in little to no effort and I would immediately be rewarded.
In the beginning I did just enough to skate by. Sure I was able to pick up wins over Scarlet Grey and Konrad Raab. I showcased I had the skills but I just didn’t apply myself. As soon as I got comfortable that’s when the disappointment quickly set in. That’s when I became a walking disappointment to all of watching.
I just appeared to not give a shit anymore. I got lazy and I walked around like my shit didn’t stink. I didn’t want to bother with doing any promos or anything. I just wanted to show up for a paycheck. I know it’s sad because when you have somebody like me on your roster you expect greatness to follow suit. You expect to see something magical and what you got was simply another pretty face who wanted the world but didn’t wish to put in the work.
That’s all you ever got from me. When I started to fade away I know I showcased some small glimpses of hope by beating Kelsai. It just wasn’t enough to really showcase that I am a great wrestler though because I turned my back on everything that I stood for. I made excuses for myself and I point the blame elsewhere. Maria Salvatore is a really close friend of mine. When we first met one another years ago it was in the middle of a bloody feud between two feuding families. I was left for dead by her big brother in a hole made in the dessert of Las Vegas. However she was there to show me kindness and it’s one that has followed up by being there for my daughter, and befriending her.
She came to this company to try to be by my side but instead of trying to change the narrative of how our careers were going. I decided to abandon her because I felt like she was holding me back. I felt like I could do better all by myself…
It had nothing to do with Maria to be honest. I think I was just making excuses for why I wasn’t winning, and the reality is because I wasn’t putting in the work. I wasn’t being the Crystal Zdunich that people know me as. It was a tragedy and I should have done better but I didn’t.
However this year I have personally vowed to change the narrative, and I can say with a positive smile that things are definitely changing for the better.
Things are finally getting back to normal. From a personal life experience one of the toughest things that I went through last year was cheating on my wife. I felt terrible about it… Seleana is my entire life. She is a sweet Swedish woman. One who has the heart of an angel and has always been there for me even when I haven’t acted in the same in return.
I love that woman and I really don’t deserve her. When I told her that I was cheating on her with this chick Diamond Caldwell behind her back I honestly didn’t know how she would feel about it. However Seleana only thought of me, she was extremely selfless and recommended that my lover move in with us. She actually approved of a three way relationship and it has left me speechless… Truly don’t deserve her.
With Diamond moving in I no longer have that hanging over my head. That was a necessary adjustment that was finally made and I don’t need to sneak behind Seleana’s back because she is fully accepting. On top of that Seleana and I finally adopted a beautiful ten year old little angel named Aurora. Aurora is a sweetheart who has overcome Leukemia, and I think one of the toughest things we had to deal with was watching her mother pass away…
However it only made us stronger in the end but with Aurora in the household I guess that has brought a positive spin to my life outside of the ring. When it comes to wrestling things really have changed for the better. All of the companies that had fired me from their companies because they thought it wouldn’t be a good luck having someone everybody thought to be a racist on their roster. Each and all of those companies have HIRED me back!
Things are looking up… In Sin City Wrestling who I had felt down about, I just won their World Championship a few weeks ago. I just won a huge rumble for another company ECWF in a one off appearance which means I will get a shot at their World Championship.
Things are right where they need to be and I feel like this is 2011 all over again. 2011 being the year when TOSEW voted me as the best women’s wrestler in the world!
The fact is I truly feel like I am back and after overcoming a woman who had won multiple Supreme Championship Wrestling woman of the year awards, World Championships, and so many other accolades in the form of Katie Steward. The truth of the matter is I am going to wreck fucking shop. I don’t give a damn who is placed in front of me. I won’t stop until people know exactly who the hell I am!
As a matter of fact after I beat Katie I should have been in that World Championship gauntlet match but it’s whatever. When one door closes another certainly opens and right now the only thing on my mind is stepping into the ring with Ricky James and becoming the Television Champion. I won’t stop until I make that championship mine. What a better way to change the narrative than by winning gold.
Gold isn’t a fix but damn it when a person is holding some nobody can ever say shit about them. Also why wouldn’t I want to possibly be in a position where I could be holding three different titles at the same time?! It would be insane but then again I expect it. This is what I should have been doing from the very beginning.
Nobody what company it is, as soon as you put me in a championship match that is when you will see who the real me truly is. I know it might be hard to see who a person really is when one is an actress.
I mean as an actress life is always a façade. People are always used to you playing somebody else. They always expect you to wear a ton of makeup and life is a costume. I can assure you though that Crystal Zdunich the wrestler isn’t a costume. It isn’t something I try to make pretend to do. It is who I am and if anything the Hollywood me is the actual costume. Then again walking into this huge match this week it seems like I am up against somebody who has a habit of wearing a costume.
I am going up against a man who idolizes the Television Championship and would rather play make pretend with this Real American bullshit and hide from who he really is. It’s an absolute disgrace and I will certainly speak my share on the mater. All you need to know is that I will expose Ricky James. I will put his little mouthpiece in her place. I am not going to stop until I walk out as the SCW Television Champion. I know it might be hard to take that claim as being serious but I guarantee it will happen.
When I am at my best there isn’t anybody out there who could stop me. I certainly won’t get outclassed by a man who feels that he can’t be real. On top of that I have to give him a receipt for beating my good friend Maria. His reign as Television Champion comes to an end, and mine will officially start. I promise you that much…
For now just wait and watch, you will all see that nothing will ever stop this rose from blossoming…
Hollywood Hills, California
Zdunich Mansion
Inside of the beautiful Zdunich estate in Hollywood Hills, California it is there where we could see Crystal Zdunich walking through her house. Her wife Seleana had decided to take their daughter Aurora to the zoo that they had owned leaving just Crystal and Diamond alone in the home. Crystal smiled as she gazed out at her pool and Jacuzzi. It was about 75 degrees outside and with the heated pool it was a perfect day to go for a swim in the middle of February. However she couldn’t even go out there as something had caught her attention. It was that of her girlfriend Diamond Caldwell. The built woman from Compton could only offer a loud sigh as she wasn’t in a good mood. Crystal quickly turned her attention over to her as she spoke to her.
“Hey babe is everything okay?!”
Diamond however just shook her head in disgust as she looked back at Crystal sighing once again.
“No everything isn’t okay… I worked hard to win my championship and for it to be lost just like that… I have prided myself on trying to rise through the ranks and to build a name up for myself. For a referee to step in when I didn’t even ask him is fucking bullshit…”
Crystal just sighs in return as she looks back at her.
“Don’t worry about it… Shit happens… There was this one time when I was in this terrible women’s promotion. It was an I Quit match and I didn’t say anything. However the referee blocked me from being seen on camera and told everyone I quit. It was bullshit because they tried to show the replay if I quit or not and nobody could see it on any angle…”
“Well did you quit?!”
Crystal just stares at Diamond blankly as she shrugs her shoulders.
“That’s beside the point… The fact is it was pure bullshit. It was a controversial decision and one that never got resolved. It was fucked up because in my mind I just felt like that company just wanted to shove Veronica Valiant down everyone’s throats. There wasn’t a rematch on their list of plans and I had to sit on the sideline chasing after other stuff while others got chances at what should have been mine?!”
Diamond nods her head as she continues to speak some more.
“And how did you cope with it all…”
“I just lived with it… I built myself up. I went on to become a Grand Slam Champion for that company. I was the first person to do so and shortly after the company went under. My name will forever be in their record books and that is something that nobody can ever take away from me. I know you might feel heated. You might feel like a disappointment but don’t. if you feel sorry for yourself you won’t be able to cope with what happened to you…”
Diamond smirks.
“True that…I appreciate that… So what’s going on with you and Brittany, what are your plans for your daughter?!”
Crystal smiles wide.
“Don’t worry about that… That’s for me to know and everybody else to find out. The only thing you need to understand is that I have so many title matches on the horizon. Tag title match in WWR, World Title defense in Sin City Wrestling, World title opportunity in ECWF, but as eager and excited that I am for all of them. I think I am over excited for this Supreme Championship Wrestling Television Championship match…”
Diamond grins.
“Look at my girl being a little busy body. I am surprised that your body hasn’t given up on you. I don’t know how you can pour so much out in so many different companies…”
“Why?! It’s because I love wrestling way too much… It’s the only thing that I feel comfortable with in my life. It’s my place of refuge and the more I get involved is the more that I feel at peace with myself…”
Diamond nods her head as she walks over to where Crystal is standing and smirks at her.
“I can respect that… I will admit that when we officially were part of the same company. I had strived so much to be in the ring against you. I wanted to face you because I know you always bring it…”
Crystal laughs in return.
“Girl you just wanted to put your hands on me. That is what it has always been about. Don’t act like it’s not…”
“Okay so maybe you got me figured out, but on a serious note I do have something I want to get off of my chest…”
Crystal raises her eyes in return.
“And what would that be exactly?!”
“This Lexy Chapel girl what is the story with her?!”
Crystal can’t help but be taken back as she looks deeper into the eyes of Diamond.
“What do you mean?!”
“What I am saying is you don’t need her. She is ruining everything you stand for. Everybody knows that the world should revolve around you C. After all you have been in the wrestling business for a very long time. You always hold gold in every single company that you compete in. You have always been the star and weren’t afraid to let everybody else what type of star you are… However lately I haven’t seen you as being the one that is front and center. Lexy seems to be stealing your thunder. She is trying to steal the spotlight and you are better than that…”
“And what exactly do you suggest I do Diamond?! I know Lexy in the long run may not be the best thing for me but…”
Diamond quickly shakes her head.
“Girl NOTHING… At the end of the day you are Crystal Zdunich and if you want to be even more technical last time I checked you are Crystal Fucking Hilton. You aren’t a sidekick, you aren’t a co-star! You are the featured attraction! You are the main event! You are what everybody wants to see and I want to see everything focused on you again. I say you should kick Lexy to the curb and be the star you were meant to become. Show those people in Supreme Championship Wrestling what I have seen you do in every single company you have ever wrestled in… Be that star…”
Crystal nods her head as she listens to her girlfriend pour her heart out to her.
“Wow you really are passionate about my career aren’t you?! If you are so passionate about it why don’t you give me a reason to kick her to the curb…”
“Well you wouldn’t need Lexy to manage you if you had me at ringside. I mean who would be better than having me at your side. You know damn well I don’t mind showcasing how beautiful you are. Showcasing why you are the star of the show! Not everybody was able to get a huge role on the Wife but there you are in a big role as the Writer. There you were on the Bat Girl show. You have so many roles and have been part of so many different movies and shows but you want to know what show I love best?!”
“And what role would that be Diamond?!”
Diamond nods her head as she grins back at her girlfriend.
“The role where you rise to the top and showcase why you are the best damn wrestler in wrestling today…”
Crystal smiles in return.
“So you really wouldn’t mind managing me?!”
“Of course not and at least you know you will go home to me. I will always have your back and there won’t be any hidden agendas when it comes to me. I want to keep you honest with yourself and as long as you have Lexy you won’t ever be who I know you can be…”
“And what exactly is that?!”
“You already should know. My Queen, my Goddess, but most importantly the champion…”
Crystal smiles as wide as possible as she looks deep into Diamond’s eyes.
“It seems like I do have to change the narrative about how people feel about me but I can’t see myself going anywhere or doing anything until I make a change. I will take you up on that deal Diamond. Who better to have at ringside than my girlfriend…”
“Good… That’s what I am talking about girl. Now I know you have a lot to look forward to with this huge match upon you. Are you ready to stand in the ring with Ricky James?!”
Crystal rolls her eyes in return.
“Am I ready to stand in the ring with a fake ass man who is trying to hide from who he is?! Of course I am ready for this match. This one seems to hit a little at home and I honestly can relate to what’s going on but let’s not disappoint. Why don’t we go prepare for what’s to come. This match is going to take so much out of me. A lot is at stake. Not only am I trying to win a championship but I am also trying to gain the respect of so many different people with this match. I want to stay true to myself and as long as I got you right there I know nothing can stop me…”
Diamond smiles her head as she walks over to her girlfriend.
“Good I wouldn’t have it any other way boo. What are your plans for Lexy Chapel?!”
Crystal sighs as she thinks about it before she turns her attention over to Diamond and smiles back at her.
“As far as Lexy is concerned I figure we both could handle that situation. Nobody should ever try to take my damn spotlight. People should know that’s not how I role. Not now and certainly not ever! If she wishes to constantly put me on the backburner like I don’t matter than that just means she needs to pay for ignoring me. It should be all about me and nothing else.”
“Exactly! Nobody should ever try to act like my girl ain’t important… So let’s do what we need to do so you can go about beating up a man and taking what will be yours…”
Crystal hugs her girlfriend as tightly as she can.
“Thank you so much… I honestly don’t know what I would do without you in my life…Why don’t you come with me for a drive.”
“And where exactly are we going?!”
Crystal smiles warmly.
“Gonna take a trip to San Diego… I want to check up on some of the Gem Stones”
Diamond shakes her head in disgust.
“Seriously?! It will get really confusing… I mean it’s already a thing that you are Crystal and I am Diamond… If I see the other Diamond I swear I am going to punch her in the…”
“Relax she won’t even be there… I just want to make sure that the girls are ready. They are contracted to Rose Productions and we did finally put the final touches on the Gem Stones movie. Just holding it back until things clear up with this pandemic, honestly I just want to make sure they didn’t destroy the mansion we put them in…”
“I got you… I guess I could be your enforcer…”
“Consider it a warm up for what’s to come in our future, and if you do a good enough job. You just might get lucky tonight…”
Crystal says with a wink as Diamond nods her head with a grin.
“Bet… So when are we leaving?!”
“I was thinking that right now sounds like a great time. Come on let’s get going. The sooner we leave, the better chance we have at beating some awful traffic…”
With that Crystal and Diamond walk out of their large estate as we go elsewhere.
So I guess the time is finally upon us isn’t it?! At this week’s show it’s going to be myself taking on Ricky James. To be honest when I look at Ricky I can’t help but see somebody who is a reflection of me. I see somebody who just isn’t real. Why do I say this?! It is because I grew up being raised by my Aunt in inner city Detroit. My life was that of a mistake. My biological mother was a drug addict who got pregnant when she was on spring break to Mexico. My actual father is a Mexican man who was known for being a big piece of shit and never being involved in any of his daughters’ lives.
So when my actual biological mother found out she was pregnant she didn’t choose to raise me as her daughter. Instead she left me on the doorstep of her older sister’s home. I was adopted by my Aunt and raised in a home of 5 children and no father in the home. I hated being in Detroit. I was harassed and bullied every single day at school. I was called a half breed all because I didn’t look like my other siblings. I guess people had something against me being half Mexican.
I hated Detroit… I had very low self-esteem and I got pregnant at the age of 13. However something amazing would happen in my life. A man named Pedro Lopez came into my life. I honestly thought that was my biological father but as I found out later in life. He is my uncle who tried to take responsibility for what his brother did to me. It’s ironic that my Aunt from my mother’s side and my uncle from my father’s side would become my parents.
The best thing about Pedro however is when I was 16 years old he brought me with him to Mexico City, and I was able to train in Pedro’s Gymnasio. It would be in that school where I would become a Luchadora and I was able to excel at the craft of lucha libre.
I learned everything in that school and when my head got too big I decided to walk away from it because I felt I was above it. I had a dream that I could make it big in wrestling and I eventually did so, but on top of that because I had the pain I had from my hometown of Detroit. I refused to act like it existed. To be quite frank I didn’t give a flying fuck. I know people would be quick to say that Detroit is such a working class city. It’s an amazing city for hard work, humble beginnings and it was the happening stance of America where American made cars were being made, but I didn’t give a shit about any of that!
The only thing I saw was the hurt that existed within my life from my past there. I could only see myself getting bullied every single day, and I quickly dropped it to claim New York as my own which is where my husband was from, and later on claim Hollywood when he used his money to make my dream come true. He bought me my own movie studio, I became an actress. I felt like I could just costume on and become somebody else.
However no matter how many costumes I changed into it still never changed the fact that I left my home town. It didn’t change people’s perspective of me. They just called me a sell out and I didn’t understand until a year ago that I should have been embracing it the entire time. Instead of trying to act my way into being somebody else I should have embraced who I was.
That is the biggest issue I have with you Ricky… You don’t embrace who you are as an individual. You are trying way too fucking hard to be acknowledged as a Real American. Honestly you look like a bad form of gentrification. You could have been the proud Ricardo Jimenez along with your manager Lucia Hernandez but instead you settle for Ricky James and Lucy Huckabee.
Instead of proudly being from that of Mexico you are content with being from Florida and for what purpose exactly?! Actually don’t even answer the question because I personally don’t want to know.
I can call bullshit on it though because it’s just as bad as me being from Detroit but trying to claim another city as my own. After all of these years I am fucking proud of what I am and who I am.
It may sound like some messed up shit but I am Christina Rose Hilton Lopez de Zdunich. I know it’s a mouthful but I won’t ever deny of it. Each name I have I am proud of. It took me a long time to get to that point as there was a time where I didn’t want to be acknowledged as a Hilton or a Lopez but let me explain something. I know that the Hilton family did everything they could to make it in Detroit. My African American side is definitely one of strength. I can respect my Mexican heritage with the Lopez clan. Wrestling in the DNA and they are some serious fighters and they are persistent. As far the Zdunichs go I might have gotten that from marriage but I am proud of the Swedish women who came to America to make something of themselves!
I know it took a lot to learn the language barrier or to get involved in things but I can respect that. They are true stars and that should be honored. You on the other hand shouldn’t get any honor because you are a fucking sell out. As a woman who has always talked up her Mexican heritage I won’t let you disrespect any form of me by your asinine actions. I am better than that and most important I am better than you.
You might have been able to get one over on one of my closest friends in Maria Salvatore but here is the difference the two of us. I love wrestling. I am a veteran of the sport and whatever you have up your sleeve I know for a fact I will be one step ahead of you. I want you to get Lucy involved. I want all of that smoke and the heat. It still won’t be enough because where you might be playing dirty fighter and trying to build yourself up as being something you clearly are not.
I wrote the book on it. I have been professionally wrestling since 2006… When you were just thirteen years old and didn’t even know what to do I had already gone pro. As a matter of fact I had gone pro when I was at my father’s wrestling school.
My name was La Paloma… The Dove and I made sure I soared higher than anybody else. Nobody could ever clip my wings and now here I am standing in front of you with the chance of a lifetime. I have the chance to walk into this match with you and win my very first championship in Supreme Championship Wrestling. You think I am going to ruin this moment?!
You think I am going to let it fade away?!
No… I have put way too much into this company to drop the ball now. I know people have been waiting and pleading for the real Crystal Zdunich to show up and this week seems like the perfect spot to do so. If there is one thing that people need to know about me. It’s when a championship is involved I get really fucking crazy. I start to go nuts and nothing else ends up mattering. As long as I could walk away as champion that’s all that will matter in the long run. When we step into that ring with one another I want people to know that it was I that beat you. I don’t want this bullshit that Lexy steals my spotlight. I want to have my own spotlight. I want to be the center of attention.
This week you will see me front and center because you will have the closest seat in the house. Now as far as the Television Championship goes let’s be honest here, wouldn’t that title look better around my waist?!
After all I am already the best damn thing on television. I got my huge role on the Wife but nothing will be as huge when I walk into the ring and I take on the role of being champion.
I think that would be an amazing gig. It would actually be quite fantastic. It would be better than amazing. I think the only sad thing about the entire ordeal is the fact that you would essentially getting written out of your own show…
That sounds like it would suck doesn’t it?!
It really doesn’t matter… At the end of the day it’s all or nothing. I will win the Television Championship and there isn’t a damn thing you can do to stop it. Consider this the beginning of something new. This is my journey…
Lights
Camera
Action
It’s show time… Let’s go make a movie shall we?!
So take a bow because this is your final number, this is your curtain call, and the end of the show is coming.
It’s time to roll the credits on your reign once and for all, and time for something new to begin. That something new belonging to that of me, the Silver Screen Queen…
Crystal Zdunich…
I just want to say from the bottom of my heart that I appreciate each and every single one of you. I know when I first came to this company it was to be that of a hype train. I know I came in as a friend of Syren and I instantly thought that was going to propel me to new heights. I thought being friendly with Holly Adams was really going to bring me to another level.

I was told I was a racist, I was told that I was horrible, and it really took me to a dark place. I have been called so many different things throughout my life but I know being a racist isn’t one of them. I am very proud of who I am and when people wish to tell me that I don’t have a sense of pride or anything else like that. I honestly find that to be quite full of shit.
I know for a fact that I am proud of myself, even when I don’t show it properly.
Now I know what all of you sitting there at home watching my promo are asking yourselves. What does any of this have to do with my wrestling career or even being in Supreme Championship Wrestling?! The truth is it has EVERYTHING to do with it because as a prideful person I don’t like standing in front of all of you, and not giving anything close to my very best.

That’s all you ever got from me. When I started to fade away I know I showcased some small glimpses of hope by beating Kelsai. It just wasn’t enough to really showcase that I am a great wrestler though because I turned my back on everything that I stood for. I made excuses for myself and I point the blame elsewhere. Maria Salvatore is a really close friend of mine. When we first met one another years ago it was in the middle of a bloody feud between two feuding families. I was left for dead by her big brother in a hole made in the dessert of Las Vegas. However she was there to show me kindness and it’s one that has followed up by being there for my daughter, and befriending her.
She came to this company to try to be by my side but instead of trying to change the narrative of how our careers were going. I decided to abandon her because I felt like she was holding me back. I felt like I could do better all by myself…
It had nothing to do with Maria to be honest. I think I was just making excuses for why I wasn’t winning, and the reality is because I wasn’t putting in the work. I wasn’t being the Crystal Zdunich that people know me as. It was a tragedy and I should have done better but I didn’t.
However this year I have personally vowed to change the narrative, and I can say with a positive smile that things are definitely changing for the better.
Things are finally getting back to normal. From a personal life experience one of the toughest things that I went through last year was cheating on my wife. I felt terrible about it… Seleana is my entire life. She is a sweet Swedish woman. One who has the heart of an angel and has always been there for me even when I haven’t acted in the same in return.
I love that woman and I really don’t deserve her. When I told her that I was cheating on her with this chick Diamond Caldwell behind her back I honestly didn’t know how she would feel about it. However Seleana only thought of me, she was extremely selfless and recommended that my lover move in with us. She actually approved of a three way relationship and it has left me speechless… Truly don’t deserve her.
With Diamond moving in I no longer have that hanging over my head. That was a necessary adjustment that was finally made and I don’t need to sneak behind Seleana’s back because she is fully accepting. On top of that Seleana and I finally adopted a beautiful ten year old little angel named Aurora. Aurora is a sweetheart who has overcome Leukemia, and I think one of the toughest things we had to deal with was watching her mother pass away…
However it only made us stronger in the end but with Aurora in the household I guess that has brought a positive spin to my life outside of the ring. When it comes to wrestling things really have changed for the better. All of the companies that had fired me from their companies because they thought it wouldn’t be a good luck having someone everybody thought to be a racist on their roster. Each and all of those companies have HIRED me back!
Things are looking up… In Sin City Wrestling who I had felt down about, I just won their World Championship a few weeks ago. I just won a huge rumble for another company ECWF in a one off appearance which means I will get a shot at their World Championship.
Things are right where they need to be and I feel like this is 2011 all over again. 2011 being the year when TOSEW voted me as the best women’s wrestler in the world!
The fact is I truly feel like I am back and after overcoming a woman who had won multiple Supreme Championship Wrestling woman of the year awards, World Championships, and so many other accolades in the form of Katie Steward. The truth of the matter is I am going to wreck fucking shop. I don’t give a damn who is placed in front of me. I won’t stop until people know exactly who the hell I am!
As a matter of fact after I beat Katie I should have been in that World Championship gauntlet match but it’s whatever. When one door closes another certainly opens and right now the only thing on my mind is stepping into the ring with Ricky James and becoming the Television Champion. I won’t stop until I make that championship mine. What a better way to change the narrative than by winning gold.
Gold isn’t a fix but damn it when a person is holding some nobody can ever say shit about them. Also why wouldn’t I want to possibly be in a position where I could be holding three different titles at the same time?! It would be insane but then again I expect it. This is what I should have been doing from the very beginning.
Nobody what company it is, as soon as you put me in a championship match that is when you will see who the real me truly is. I know it might be hard to see who a person really is when one is an actress.
I mean as an actress life is always a façade. People are always used to you playing somebody else. They always expect you to wear a ton of makeup and life is a costume. I can assure you though that Crystal Zdunich the wrestler isn’t a costume. It isn’t something I try to make pretend to do. It is who I am and if anything the Hollywood me is the actual costume. Then again walking into this huge match this week it seems like I am up against somebody who has a habit of wearing a costume.
I am going up against a man who idolizes the Television Championship and would rather play make pretend with this Real American bullshit and hide from who he really is. It’s an absolute disgrace and I will certainly speak my share on the mater. All you need to know is that I will expose Ricky James. I will put his little mouthpiece in her place. I am not going to stop until I walk out as the SCW Television Champion. I know it might be hard to take that claim as being serious but I guarantee it will happen.
When I am at my best there isn’t anybody out there who could stop me. I certainly won’t get outclassed by a man who feels that he can’t be real. On top of that I have to give him a receipt for beating my good friend Maria. His reign as Television Champion comes to an end, and mine will officially start. I promise you that much…
For now just wait and watch, you will all see that nothing will ever stop this rose from blossoming…
Hollywood Hills, California
Zdunich Mansion
Inside of the beautiful Zdunich estate in Hollywood Hills, California it is there where we could see Crystal Zdunich walking through her house. Her wife Seleana had decided to take their daughter Aurora to the zoo that they had owned leaving just Crystal and Diamond alone in the home. Crystal smiled as she gazed out at her pool and Jacuzzi. It was about 75 degrees outside and with the heated pool it was a perfect day to go for a swim in the middle of February. However she couldn’t even go out there as something had caught her attention. It was that of her girlfriend Diamond Caldwell. The built woman from Compton could only offer a loud sigh as she wasn’t in a good mood. Crystal quickly turned her attention over to her as she spoke to her.
“Hey babe is everything okay?!”
Diamond however just shook her head in disgust as she looked back at Crystal sighing once again.
“No everything isn’t okay… I worked hard to win my championship and for it to be lost just like that… I have prided myself on trying to rise through the ranks and to build a name up for myself. For a referee to step in when I didn’t even ask him is fucking bullshit…”
Crystal just sighs in return as she looks back at her.
“Don’t worry about it… Shit happens… There was this one time when I was in this terrible women’s promotion. It was an I Quit match and I didn’t say anything. However the referee blocked me from being seen on camera and told everyone I quit. It was bullshit because they tried to show the replay if I quit or not and nobody could see it on any angle…”
“Well did you quit?!”
Crystal just stares at Diamond blankly as she shrugs her shoulders.
“That’s beside the point… The fact is it was pure bullshit. It was a controversial decision and one that never got resolved. It was fucked up because in my mind I just felt like that company just wanted to shove Veronica Valiant down everyone’s throats. There wasn’t a rematch on their list of plans and I had to sit on the sideline chasing after other stuff while others got chances at what should have been mine?!”
Diamond nods her head as she continues to speak some more.
“And how did you cope with it all…”
“I just lived with it… I built myself up. I went on to become a Grand Slam Champion for that company. I was the first person to do so and shortly after the company went under. My name will forever be in their record books and that is something that nobody can ever take away from me. I know you might feel heated. You might feel like a disappointment but don’t. if you feel sorry for yourself you won’t be able to cope with what happened to you…”
Diamond smirks.
“True that…I appreciate that… So what’s going on with you and Brittany, what are your plans for your daughter?!”
Crystal smiles wide.
“Don’t worry about that… That’s for me to know and everybody else to find out. The only thing you need to understand is that I have so many title matches on the horizon. Tag title match in WWR, World Title defense in Sin City Wrestling, World title opportunity in ECWF, but as eager and excited that I am for all of them. I think I am over excited for this Supreme Championship Wrestling Television Championship match…”
Diamond grins.
“Look at my girl being a little busy body. I am surprised that your body hasn’t given up on you. I don’t know how you can pour so much out in so many different companies…”
“Why?! It’s because I love wrestling way too much… It’s the only thing that I feel comfortable with in my life. It’s my place of refuge and the more I get involved is the more that I feel at peace with myself…”
Diamond nods her head as she walks over to where Crystal is standing and smirks at her.
“I can respect that… I will admit that when we officially were part of the same company. I had strived so much to be in the ring against you. I wanted to face you because I know you always bring it…”
Crystal laughs in return.
“Girl you just wanted to put your hands on me. That is what it has always been about. Don’t act like it’s not…”
“Okay so maybe you got me figured out, but on a serious note I do have something I want to get off of my chest…”
Crystal raises her eyes in return.
“And what would that be exactly?!”
“This Lexy Chapel girl what is the story with her?!”
Crystal can’t help but be taken back as she looks deeper into the eyes of Diamond.
“What do you mean?!”
“What I am saying is you don’t need her. She is ruining everything you stand for. Everybody knows that the world should revolve around you C. After all you have been in the wrestling business for a very long time. You always hold gold in every single company that you compete in. You have always been the star and weren’t afraid to let everybody else what type of star you are… However lately I haven’t seen you as being the one that is front and center. Lexy seems to be stealing your thunder. She is trying to steal the spotlight and you are better than that…”
“And what exactly do you suggest I do Diamond?! I know Lexy in the long run may not be the best thing for me but…”
Diamond quickly shakes her head.
“Girl NOTHING… At the end of the day you are Crystal Zdunich and if you want to be even more technical last time I checked you are Crystal Fucking Hilton. You aren’t a sidekick, you aren’t a co-star! You are the featured attraction! You are the main event! You are what everybody wants to see and I want to see everything focused on you again. I say you should kick Lexy to the curb and be the star you were meant to become. Show those people in Supreme Championship Wrestling what I have seen you do in every single company you have ever wrestled in… Be that star…”
Crystal nods her head as she listens to her girlfriend pour her heart out to her.
“Wow you really are passionate about my career aren’t you?! If you are so passionate about it why don’t you give me a reason to kick her to the curb…”
“Well you wouldn’t need Lexy to manage you if you had me at ringside. I mean who would be better than having me at your side. You know damn well I don’t mind showcasing how beautiful you are. Showcasing why you are the star of the show! Not everybody was able to get a huge role on the Wife but there you are in a big role as the Writer. There you were on the Bat Girl show. You have so many roles and have been part of so many different movies and shows but you want to know what show I love best?!”
“And what role would that be Diamond?!”
Diamond nods her head as she grins back at her girlfriend.
“The role where you rise to the top and showcase why you are the best damn wrestler in wrestling today…”
Crystal smiles in return.
“So you really wouldn’t mind managing me?!”
“Of course not and at least you know you will go home to me. I will always have your back and there won’t be any hidden agendas when it comes to me. I want to keep you honest with yourself and as long as you have Lexy you won’t ever be who I know you can be…”
“And what exactly is that?!”
“You already should know. My Queen, my Goddess, but most importantly the champion…”
Crystal smiles as wide as possible as she looks deep into Diamond’s eyes.
“It seems like I do have to change the narrative about how people feel about me but I can’t see myself going anywhere or doing anything until I make a change. I will take you up on that deal Diamond. Who better to have at ringside than my girlfriend…”
“Good… That’s what I am talking about girl. Now I know you have a lot to look forward to with this huge match upon you. Are you ready to stand in the ring with Ricky James?!”
Crystal rolls her eyes in return.
“Am I ready to stand in the ring with a fake ass man who is trying to hide from who he is?! Of course I am ready for this match. This one seems to hit a little at home and I honestly can relate to what’s going on but let’s not disappoint. Why don’t we go prepare for what’s to come. This match is going to take so much out of me. A lot is at stake. Not only am I trying to win a championship but I am also trying to gain the respect of so many different people with this match. I want to stay true to myself and as long as I got you right there I know nothing can stop me…”
Diamond smiles her head as she walks over to her girlfriend.
“Good I wouldn’t have it any other way boo. What are your plans for Lexy Chapel?!”
Crystal sighs as she thinks about it before she turns her attention over to Diamond and smiles back at her.
“As far as Lexy is concerned I figure we both could handle that situation. Nobody should ever try to take my damn spotlight. People should know that’s not how I role. Not now and certainly not ever! If she wishes to constantly put me on the backburner like I don’t matter than that just means she needs to pay for ignoring me. It should be all about me and nothing else.”
“Exactly! Nobody should ever try to act like my girl ain’t important… So let’s do what we need to do so you can go about beating up a man and taking what will be yours…”
Crystal hugs her girlfriend as tightly as she can.
“Thank you so much… I honestly don’t know what I would do without you in my life…Why don’t you come with me for a drive.”
“And where exactly are we going?!”
Crystal smiles warmly.
“Gonna take a trip to San Diego… I want to check up on some of the Gem Stones”
Diamond shakes her head in disgust.
“Seriously?! It will get really confusing… I mean it’s already a thing that you are Crystal and I am Diamond… If I see the other Diamond I swear I am going to punch her in the…”
“Relax she won’t even be there… I just want to make sure that the girls are ready. They are contracted to Rose Productions and we did finally put the final touches on the Gem Stones movie. Just holding it back until things clear up with this pandemic, honestly I just want to make sure they didn’t destroy the mansion we put them in…”
“I got you… I guess I could be your enforcer…”
“Consider it a warm up for what’s to come in our future, and if you do a good enough job. You just might get lucky tonight…”
Crystal says with a wink as Diamond nods her head with a grin.
“Bet… So when are we leaving?!”
“I was thinking that right now sounds like a great time. Come on let’s get going. The sooner we leave, the better chance we have at beating some awful traffic…”
With that Crystal and Diamond walk out of their large estate as we go elsewhere.
So I guess the time is finally upon us isn’t it?! At this week’s show it’s going to be myself taking on Ricky James. To be honest when I look at Ricky I can’t help but see somebody who is a reflection of me. I see somebody who just isn’t real. Why do I say this?! It is because I grew up being raised by my Aunt in inner city Detroit. My life was that of a mistake. My biological mother was a drug addict who got pregnant when she was on spring break to Mexico. My actual father is a Mexican man who was known for being a big piece of shit and never being involved in any of his daughters’ lives.
So when my actual biological mother found out she was pregnant she didn’t choose to raise me as her daughter. Instead she left me on the doorstep of her older sister’s home. I was adopted by my Aunt and raised in a home of 5 children and no father in the home. I hated being in Detroit. I was harassed and bullied every single day at school. I was called a half breed all because I didn’t look like my other siblings. I guess people had something against me being half Mexican.
I hated Detroit… I had very low self-esteem and I got pregnant at the age of 13. However something amazing would happen in my life. A man named Pedro Lopez came into my life. I honestly thought that was my biological father but as I found out later in life. He is my uncle who tried to take responsibility for what his brother did to me. It’s ironic that my Aunt from my mother’s side and my uncle from my father’s side would become my parents.
The best thing about Pedro however is when I was 16 years old he brought me with him to Mexico City, and I was able to train in Pedro’s Gymnasio. It would be in that school where I would become a Luchadora and I was able to excel at the craft of lucha libre.
I learned everything in that school and when my head got too big I decided to walk away from it because I felt I was above it. I had a dream that I could make it big in wrestling and I eventually did so, but on top of that because I had the pain I had from my hometown of Detroit. I refused to act like it existed. To be quite frank I didn’t give a flying fuck. I know people would be quick to say that Detroit is such a working class city. It’s an amazing city for hard work, humble beginnings and it was the happening stance of America where American made cars were being made, but I didn’t give a shit about any of that!
The only thing I saw was the hurt that existed within my life from my past there. I could only see myself getting bullied every single day, and I quickly dropped it to claim New York as my own which is where my husband was from, and later on claim Hollywood when he used his money to make my dream come true. He bought me my own movie studio, I became an actress. I felt like I could just costume on and become somebody else.
However no matter how many costumes I changed into it still never changed the fact that I left my home town. It didn’t change people’s perspective of me. They just called me a sell out and I didn’t understand until a year ago that I should have been embracing it the entire time. Instead of trying to act my way into being somebody else I should have embraced who I was.
That is the biggest issue I have with you Ricky… You don’t embrace who you are as an individual. You are trying way too fucking hard to be acknowledged as a Real American. Honestly you look like a bad form of gentrification. You could have been the proud Ricardo Jimenez along with your manager Lucia Hernandez but instead you settle for Ricky James and Lucy Huckabee.
Instead of proudly being from that of Mexico you are content with being from Florida and for what purpose exactly?! Actually don’t even answer the question because I personally don’t want to know.
I can call bullshit on it though because it’s just as bad as me being from Detroit but trying to claim another city as my own. After all of these years I am fucking proud of what I am and who I am.
It may sound like some messed up shit but I am Christina Rose Hilton Lopez de Zdunich. I know it’s a mouthful but I won’t ever deny of it. Each name I have I am proud of. It took me a long time to get to that point as there was a time where I didn’t want to be acknowledged as a Hilton or a Lopez but let me explain something. I know that the Hilton family did everything they could to make it in Detroit. My African American side is definitely one of strength. I can respect my Mexican heritage with the Lopez clan. Wrestling in the DNA and they are some serious fighters and they are persistent. As far the Zdunichs go I might have gotten that from marriage but I am proud of the Swedish women who came to America to make something of themselves!
I know it took a lot to learn the language barrier or to get involved in things but I can respect that. They are true stars and that should be honored. You on the other hand shouldn’t get any honor because you are a fucking sell out. As a woman who has always talked up her Mexican heritage I won’t let you disrespect any form of me by your asinine actions. I am better than that and most important I am better than you.
You might have been able to get one over on one of my closest friends in Maria Salvatore but here is the difference the two of us. I love wrestling. I am a veteran of the sport and whatever you have up your sleeve I know for a fact I will be one step ahead of you. I want you to get Lucy involved. I want all of that smoke and the heat. It still won’t be enough because where you might be playing dirty fighter and trying to build yourself up as being something you clearly are not.
I wrote the book on it. I have been professionally wrestling since 2006… When you were just thirteen years old and didn’t even know what to do I had already gone pro. As a matter of fact I had gone pro when I was at my father’s wrestling school.
My name was La Paloma… The Dove and I made sure I soared higher than anybody else. Nobody could ever clip my wings and now here I am standing in front of you with the chance of a lifetime. I have the chance to walk into this match with you and win my very first championship in Supreme Championship Wrestling. You think I am going to ruin this moment?!
You think I am going to let it fade away?!
No… I have put way too much into this company to drop the ball now. I know people have been waiting and pleading for the real Crystal Zdunich to show up and this week seems like the perfect spot to do so. If there is one thing that people need to know about me. It’s when a championship is involved I get really fucking crazy. I start to go nuts and nothing else ends up mattering. As long as I could walk away as champion that’s all that will matter in the long run. When we step into that ring with one another I want people to know that it was I that beat you. I don’t want this bullshit that Lexy steals my spotlight. I want to have my own spotlight. I want to be the center of attention.
This week you will see me front and center because you will have the closest seat in the house. Now as far as the Television Championship goes let’s be honest here, wouldn’t that title look better around my waist?!
After all I am already the best damn thing on television. I got my huge role on the Wife but nothing will be as huge when I walk into the ring and I take on the role of being champion.
I think that would be an amazing gig. It would actually be quite fantastic. It would be better than amazing. I think the only sad thing about the entire ordeal is the fact that you would essentially getting written out of your own show…
That sounds like it would suck doesn’t it?!
It really doesn’t matter… At the end of the day it’s all or nothing. I will win the Television Championship and there isn’t a damn thing you can do to stop it. Consider this the beginning of something new. This is my journey…
Lights
Camera
Action
It’s show time… Let’s go make a movie shall we?!
So take a bow because this is your final number, this is your curtain call, and the end of the show is coming.
It’s time to roll the credits on your reign once and for all, and time for something new to begin. That something new belonging to that of me, the Silver Screen Queen…
Crystal Zdunich…
