November 2nd is the Day of the Dead. Catholics view this as a very solemn day of remembrance of those who have died, passed on from this earthly life and moved onto the next, a day to pray for the souls still suffering in Purgatory. Other cultures do not view the day of the dead with such a solemn view but instead look at it as a joyful day of celebration. Instead of a day of mourning they view it as a day of celebrating the honor and memory of those who have passed on. One individual focused on the past and the memory of her deceased family members is none other than the reigning SCW Underground Champion, “The Woman Scorned” Kimberly Williams. In fact, the self-proclaimed Queen of the Death Match has spent the past few years doing much research into the past of her deceased family, primarily in an attempt to gain some understanding of who she is and why she has come to be the eccentric, deranged individual she is today.

Her initial research led her to rediscovering and reuniting with her paternal family, the Williams family, those connected to her late father, Sean Williams. Those she managed to find didn’t really want much to do with her. Her aunt, Cynthia Williams, had gone as far as to change her name and move to Alaska to stay off the grid so that no one would find her. While her uncle Douglas Williams was easy to find due to the fact that he was in prison, he too did not want much to do with his niece Kimberly. Furthermore, Kim would learn that her father, Sean, was more likely than not guilty of the same crime that put Douglas in prison; the crime of murder.

Next, Kim’s research would lead her to a reunion with her mother, Angelica Jones, who is very much alive and well. This reunion also allowed for a tighter, closer bond with Kimberly’s sisters, Marie and Jessica. And while growing closer to her mother and sisters is good and while she does enjoy having a family that truly does care about her, Kimberly still feels as if she is missing something. She still craves knowledge of her past, of her family, of what makes her who she is today. It was upon the suggestion of Kim’s identical twin Marie Jones that she go and do some research into her maternal family’s deceased relatives. Specifically, Marie suggested that Kim go visit the grave of their grandmother, Kelly Jones.

Perhaps trying to learn about her mother’s family would be a good idea? The Woman Scorned knows little about her maternal family, therefore there is a lot to learn. She knows her grandfather, Bartholomew Jones, was an FBI agent and her grandmother, Kelly Jones, was a Russian whose family escaped the former Soviet Union. That’s all Kimberly knows. Beyond that is a complete mystery.

Thus Williams finds herself in the cemetery of Our Lady of the Annunciation Catholic Church, the familial church of her mother’s family. It is here that her grandmother Kelly is buried. Williams is dressed in torn denim jeans, flip flops, and a t-shirt with a penguin on the front and “Wasley” printed underneath the penguin. Tomorrow she will catch a flight overseas to London in preparation for her Underground Title defense against Sarah Wolf. But for now she has unfinished business here in Massachusetts.

“Ok, dead people! Don’t mind me!” Kim says in a happy go lucky voice as she skips through the graveyard with literally not a single care in the world. “I know today is your day, DAY OF THE DEAD, and I’m sure you’re gonna party all day long! But I gotta go visit one of my peeps!” Is this disrespectful? Some may view it that way. But Kim doesn’t mean it that way. She’s just having fun in her own demented way. She continues skipping happily and carefree through the graveyard until she makes a turn and comes to a particular headstone. She stops dead in her tracks and grins from ear to ear.

“There you are!” The Woman Scorned immediately sits down in the grass before the headstone, sitting atop her crossed legs. She begins to read the headstone. “Kelly Ford Jones, beloved daughter, wife, and mother.” Kim smirks. “Well shows what they know. Ford wasn’t even your real maiden name, now was it? It was an assumed name. Am I right, Kelly Kurinsky?” Kimberly shrugs her shoulders. “But when you consider that your parents were refugees running from the Soviet Union, hell, your first name could be in question too.”

She pats the headstone, almost as if she petting a dog or a cat. “You see, grandma, I want to find out all that I can about my family heritage. And I’ve done some great research thus far. You’d be proud of me…I think…actually, I never got to meet you so I have no clue if you’d have been proud of me or not!” She snickers. “But uh, yeah, I found out about my dad’s family…or what’s left of them anyway. One is in prison, one is trying her damndest not to be found, my dad of course is dead, and from I have learned, he was quite the bastard.”

Kimberly leans back and sighs. “I admit, I was left kinda disappointed. I felt that I was hopeless. If that murderous jerk was my father and my mom, who spent time in a mental asylum, then is there any hope for me to be redeemed? But then I found out about why my mother…your daughter, by the by…went crazy. I learned about the events in her life that drove her to the brink of madness. And like the Joker says, madness is like gravity, all it takes is a little push. So maybe my mother wasn’t just born insane. Maybe she was just pushed too far? And maybe that means there is hope for me? But to know for certain, I have to do more research.” She again pats the headstone of her grandmother. “I need to find out about you. I need to find out about my grandfather. What sort of people were you anyway?”

“May I help you?” The voice startles Kimberly. She doesn’t recognize it. She quickly stands up and turns around to find a nun in the traditional black and white Catholic habit standing there. She is smiling politely, though Kim must know how strange this must look. Kimberly also does not recognize this particular nun. This isn’t any of the sisters from the convent she visited recently.

“Oh, well I’m Kim. Kim Williams.” She says, deciding that honesty may be the best policy in this circumstance. “I’m just visiting my grandmother’s grave. That’s all.”

“I see.” The nun steps forward so she can get a closer look at the grave. “Ah yes, Kelly Jones. The Jones Family have always been such good parishioners and such generous givers to the parish.” She looks up at Kimberly. “Haven’t I seen you before at Mass?”

“You’re probably thinking of my twin sister.” Kim says with a knowing grin. “We’re identical twins. People get us mixed up all the time.”

“Oh I see, so do you not attend church?”

“No, I don’t.” Kim shakes her head. “I haven’t decided to put my faith in the good Lord yet.” There is a hint of sarcasm in her voice. The nun nods her head.

“I understand, my dear. If you ever do decide to join, we would love to have you and I am sure your family would love to have you.”

“Thanks.” Kim says quietly, uneasily. The nun smiles warmly before walking away. Kimberly watches her get smaller and smaller as she gets farther and farther away. Once the nun is out of sight, Kimberly turns back to face her grandmother’s headstone.

“Maybe this is a sign? Maybe I should dig a little deeper? Peel back the layers and see what lies underneath?” Kim pats the headstone one more time. “See you soon, grandma.” Kim turns and walks off.

London, England
On Camera
==========

The camera begins to roll. It is a bright day in London, England and the sky is a bright baby blue. Sitting off in the distance, in its imposing and impressive majesty, is the Tower of London, a place that has held many prisoners back in the day. A few seconds pass before Kimberly Williams steps into the scene from the right. The demented ginger is dressed in purple dress pants, an orange button up silk shirt, a green tie, and a purple suit coat. Her long red hair hangs straight and unrestrained to past the shoulders. Her SCW Underground Championship title belt is wrapped around her waist, the HKW Bloodlust Championship title belt is draped over her right shoulder, and the ‘Datura Invented’ Unsanctioned Title belt is draped over her left shoulder.

“Is there any doubt that this year has been The Year of Chaos? Is there any doubt that I have led SCW like a crazy pied piper into a wonderful beautiful era of chaos? I don’t mean to sound like I’m gloating. It’s just a fact. I was in the main event of Retribution competing for the world title, but not so I could win it but so I could purify it, so I could shed some light on the problems that has permeated the SCW World Championship picture. Hollywood of the South I kicked Oktoberfest’s ass then I would go on to beat him again to win the SCW Underground Championship. I competed not once, not twice, but THREE DAMN TIMES at Rise To Greatness! And Rise To Greatness, by the way, was the LAST defeat I have suffered since. Because from thenceforth I have been undefeated and I regained the SCW Underground Championship for a third time!” She holds up three fingers.

“Just look at the beautiful examples of chaos that have reigned supreme in SCW just this year! The Double Jeopardy Match for the World Title. Weapons Cage Match. A farmstead fight. Five Way Underground Rules Match. And we capped it off just this past Breakdown with Ducky’s birthday bash. You don’t get much more insane and chaotic than a brawl with everyone wearing onesies, no one is certain of how to win the damn match, and yet look who walked away successful, look at the Queen of the Death Match who successfully defended her throne of chaos…” She points at herself.

“That’s right! Me! I won and now I have a guaranteed shot at the SCW World Title.” Kimberly shakes her head. “But I didn’t do that out of some obsession over being world champion like the selfish, greedy little pissants in this company. In fact, none of what I have done this year has been out of selfishness or greed. Everything I have done, from the Underground Matches to the songs and the pure joyful chaos I have wrought, all of it has been for the people. All of it has been for the entertainment of the people because that is what this business should be about. It is about the people and if I do happen to become SCW World Champion, I won’t be SCW’s World champion, no, no, no, just like everything else I have done, I will do this my own way. I will be a champion for the people.” Williams smirks as she points at the camera.

“Just like I do what I do for the entertainment of the people, that is exactly why I gravitated towards you, Wolfie. When you debuted in SCW I gravitated towards you because you entertained me. I laughed my ass off watching you chase down Penguin and Bear in an attempt to flay them, as you so eloquently put it. It was so much fun and maybe, in an attempt to create more entertainment not only for myself but for the fans, maybe I did get a wee bit too involved in that situation. I admit that I can be a little too exuberant at times. I admit that I do lose control and just do things on a whim. Perhaps I should have thought it out a little better, because then that loser Shaun Cruiserweight would not have forced us to team together at Rise To Greatness.” Williams shakes her head.

“One agent of chaos creating a stir is enough but you add TWO agents of chaos creating hysteria everywhere they go? Well it was bound to go wrong. Our partnership was doomed from the start because we are too much alike. Opposites attract, Wolfie, and as much as you may hate me, you cannot deny that we are really much more similar than we are different. Let’s look at your recent modus operandi…you have been attacking your enemies from behind, whether it was Autumn Valentine, Penguin, Bear, whoever it was, you blindside them. But face it, Wolfie, I’ve been doing the same damn thing before you even got to SCW. Just ask Oktoberfest about how I made his damn life miserable to goad him into an Underground Title Match. Or ask the four people who I kidnapped and tormented live on Breakdown! So yeah, I have been doing this a lot longer than you and BETTER than you with more STYLE than you. Face it, Wolfie, you’re just a Kim Williams Wannabe.” She throws her head back and cackles maniacally.

“You may not see it but I do. We are two peas in a pod. Therefore our partnership at Rise To Greatness was bound to fail. Another thing you do not see and do not accept is the fact that you win as a team and you LOSE as a team. We lost to the Farmstead Friends. Big deal. It isn’t the end of the world. You could have continued in your quest to flay those children’s show stars if you wanted. But did you do that?” She shakes her head. “Nah, instead you decided to act like a child. You threw a monumental temper tantrum and took out your frustrations on the person you blamed for your own failure at Rise To Greatness.” She pats herself on the chest. “That’d be me, by the way. Instead of accepting responsibility for your own defeat, you pinned the blame for losing that match entirely on me, acting as if your shit didn’t stink, acting as if you were entirely and one hundred percent blameless. Try looking into a mirror, Wolfie. Look in a mirror and you will see the person who you should blame for your inability to beat a fucking children’s show host.” Kim points at the camera.

“Yourself. Blame yourself, Wolfie. Don’t blame me for failing to become tag champions. Don’t blame me for failing to maim Penguin and Bear. Blame yourself. But if you want to look at someone to blame for your failure to become the SCW Underground Champion at Apocalypse…” she grins from ear to ear, pausing for dramatic effect, then she poses “...TA-DA! Yeah, you can blame me for that! That one was definitely my fault because I kicked your ass, I kicked The Onesie’s ass, I kicked Autumn’s ass, and I kicked DeeDee’s ass to regain my championship! But most importantly, the one thing I want you to remember, is the fact that I kicked your ass, Wolfie. I won and you lost. Which has become a trend for you, hasn’t it? You wanted to make a big splash and shock the world at Taking Hold of the Flame…you got eliminated by a damn penguin. You wanted to get revenge on said penguin and his Bear pal at Rise To Greatness…and YOU got your ass kicked by the two children’s show hosts. You blamed me for that loss and wanted to get revenge against me, and maybe win the Underground Title in the process, but instead you got BEAT again!” Williams shakes her head. She almost looks disappointed.

“Your entire run in SCW thus far has been one of failure and disappointment. You had a chance to prove that you still had the chops, that you could still hang, you fought my good friend Oktoberfest in an Underground Rules Match. Sure, I may have got a little exuberant and involved myself in your affairs. I took advantage of the Underground Rules so that I could legally whip your ass again. But you can’t blame me for your loss, because after I kicked your ass, I knocked Oktoberfest on his ass for good measure. Chaos is fair, Wolfie. You and I both know this. And you had your fair chance against Oktoberfest. And you FAILED yet again.” The Queen of the Death Match points at the camera.

“Yet you keep coming back for more. You want another chance to get your long sought after revenge and finally make an impact here in SCW. You don’t want your run in SCW to be remembered as a dismal pathetic failure so you want this one last chance. Honestly, Wolfie, the only place you and your career in SCW belong is in a place like the Tower of London behind me, somewhere dark, damp, where careers go to die.” She chuckles softly. “Lucky for you, I am a generous giving soul. And I am not like some of those puffed up holier than thou idiots who want to decide amongst themselves who is and who is not worthy. Plus, you have been great entertainment for me! Like I said, I enjoyed watching you torment Penguin and Bear. Then after that I continued to enjoy watching you painfully and dismally fail to get any sort of revenge and look ridiculous in your attempts. All of that has been entertaining! So out of the goodness of my heart, and because you have been so entertaining thus far, I am willing to grant you this one final opportunity…this one last chance to entertain me.” An evil grin forms on her face.

“Yes, Wolfie, you will entertain me. Oh believe me, I will be very much entertained as I maim you, batter you, and completely and utterly destroy you with no limitations, no restraints, and absolutely none of those pesky rules to get in my way. I am going to enjoy taking you apart in front of the entire world, not just for my entertainment but for the entertainment of all of my Kimmymaniacs! And I promise you, Wolfie, you will be sent back to whatever hole you crawled out of…you will be sent back in many pieces…because you like to play the part of bully. What you are going to find out is that in this Underground playground there is ONE individual that even the bullies are afraid of and that person is ME! You are going to learn first hand why I am the Queen of the Death Match and that you are just a Kim Williams Wannabe.”

The scene fades to black.
