Deanna Frost vs. Amelia Stone

The Guard Tower

Hey guys! 

So, here we are! First match into the new year! And I mean, I’ve seen enough of these kind of promos throughout the years around this time. A whole “New Year, New Me” kind of thing or maybe singing “Auld Lang Sine” like I’ve seen before. Maybe some declarations of the new year… Okay, maybe I’ll do that one a little bit, I think it’s important.

But really? I just want to say thank you again to you guys. I know, ‘again?’. I did at the End of the Year event and again on Twitter, though I wish I had the eloquence my wife had in hers – but even so, cliché as it sounds, I just… I mean this past year…

I mean, I came in thinking two things: One, how amazing it was to actually be trying to be a wrestler like my wife is – the job and place the one where I first saw her on TV years ago… I mean, that’s what I was before any of this. I was a fan of SCW. For a young girl realizing who she was and being shunned for it in a small town of Kentucky, watching SCW with all the brave men and women embracing who they were, it was like watching Saturday Morning Cartoons with all those superheroes and such – you know, before Marvel decided we needed it 24/7. 

But anyway, part of me always wanted to be like them. Like the Marina Trents, the Regan Streets, even the people like Syren – not that I wanted the whole back and forth of morality with the later but I mean, these were people that constantly embraced who they were and put it on display on a global scale. And were celebrated for it. And… it was through SCW that I first saw my future-wife, met her, married her, made a family with her- 

I’m rambling, I know. The point is that, for years, I was happy just to be part of that world of SCW as a manager. But part of me always quietly wished for more – to fulfill that dream and become a wrestler. To stand tall and take pride in who I am. And for the past year, it’s been a nonstop roller-coaster to be part of that. From the people I’ve fought, the lessons I’ve learned, the titles I’ve won, to finally becoming a world tag-team champion with Selena… 

There is nothing that can be done that will ever take all of this away from me. I’ll always have this time. I’ll always be able to say “I did it!” because all of you let me be here. You let me get in the ring and let me show you what I can do, what I am capable of and, more than anything, you all made me believe that there is more I can do! More I can learn! More I can accomplish! So…yeah… for all of that, thank you so much, guys!

Okay! Sappy stuff out of the way, right! You guys want to get back to the WRESTLING part of SCW, right?! Truthfully, so do I! Because I’ve been itching to be back full force ever since Under Attack. To be able to get in the ring and take on anyone and everyone with everything I’ve got, without an air-cast slowing me down or getting in my way!

And I’m not taking anything away from those I fought during December or parts of November. But, for me, personally, from retaining the tag-championships with Selena to competing in the Trios tournament, all I’ve been thinking about is getting back at the ring at full strength. Competing at a level that I know I can compete at.

Especially with The One watching.

And let’s face it, if there is one thing that woman has proven time and time again, it’s that she’s definitely watching Selena and I. And maybe I should be flattered at that, but when she’s attacking innocent people? Putting them in the hospital? And for what? Because she’s a walking hypocrite that isn’t doing a damn thing she’s promised all of us? That she’s too much of a coward to fight so she relies on sneak attacks and whatever? That she’s jealous that both members of The House of Frost have more spine than she ever could and can do more than she can? 

I mean, how hard would it have been to simply challenge me? Or Selena? Or the two of us together if she felt so inclined? It’s not like we run and hide from problems. No, we face them head on! That’s what we’ve always done! And, for me, personally, it’s not like I don’t want to face The One after she fractured my arm in the chamber. Are you kidding?! I was injured for over a month because of a cheap shot! But no, Selena and I have to be the ones to make the challenge, which by the way, she STILL hasn’t properly accepted.

What are you waiting for, One? Are you waiting till Breakdown to give your answer? Are you waiting to see how far along I am when I take on Amelia Stone in my first singles match since that injury? Or is this more of your little cowardice? Where you see me beat Amelia and you go back to hiding, back to the proverbial drawing board and talking about yourself in the third-person? 

Well, if seeing me in action is what it is going to take to get you to come out of your little hiding place and give me – give the SCW world tag-team champions – an answer one way or another, then I will be more than happy to oblige, as well as give you a definitive display of what you have brought upon yourself.

Which means that I’ve got to beat you, Amelia. And while that isn’t a personal thing, I just… I can’t lie and say I’m not looking forward to it. Because I just don’t get you, Amelia. I mean, you started as a fan like me and become somewhat of a manager to your idol, Glory Braddock. Now, you didn’t go all the way and marry her like I did – which I DO NOT recommend unless you are 200% sure like I was. Yes, I said 200% sure – but anyway, you were A LOT braver than I was because it didn’t take you long to become a wrestler! What was it? A few weeks of following Glory around? A few months? And you were already exploding onto the wrestling scene! I mean, you even faced your hero and beat her in a match! I don’t think I could ever do that with Selena. I mean… we wrestle in our training sure… but it’s not like we’re training to hurt each other, and if I’m completely honest, it always ends up…

NOT IMPORTANT!

What is important is that you were leaps and bounds ahead of me in the steps department. Like if I was the slow-and-steady one in my path to becoming and SCW superstar, you were the damn roadrunner! Going “Beep-Beep” and zipping away! 

Only to come back last month and going back to being a manager – oh no! It was actually worse than that! You were basically a glorified coat-rack for Glory, holding her “title” for her and – I mean, holy cats, you were just her crash mat during Trios!

What happened, Amelia? Where was that drive you showed? Where was that passion to being a wrestler? Where was that drive to excel? To be awesome? I genuinely want to know because I just don’t understand how you could go back a step like that! I just don’t get it. I mean, you’ve been back for over a month and now, finally, you’re competing in a match. After Under Attack, when everyone thought I was too broken to continue – ‘Oh! Deanna’s first injury! Now the fantasy is over! Watch her crumble!’ – I couldn’t wait to get in the ring and prove everyone wrong. I couldn’t wait to keep going.

What about you? What happened to that enthusiasm? Even now, I’m not sure if you’re facing me because you want to or because Glory is telling you too. Do you know how frustrating that is for me? That I’m one half of the world tag-team champions and I feel like I’m facing someone who’s heart isn’t 200% in it beyond a ‘Yes, Glory!’? 

I don’t want that, Amelia. I don’t want Glory’s hype-girl or belt-holder. I want the girl that beat Glory. I want the Amelia that started taking SCW by storm when she got here. I want the Amelia that was being talked about when she showed up in SCW. I don’t want the glorified cheerleader! The SCW Universe doesn’t want the glorified cheerleader. Cause I KNOW I can beat that woman. I don’t want to fight a woman I know I can beat. What’s the point in that? I want to fight the woman that could beat me. I want the woman that is going to challenge me! That WANTS to fight and beat me! That’s what I want!

Because I intend to have 2023 be bigger and better than 2022. That year was my introduction to the world of being a wrestler. The good, the bad, the scary, the painful – all of it. And I’m still here. I didn’t disappear or crumble and I didn’t walk away like you did, Amelia – for whatever reasons. I’ve been here, just like my wife has, fighting in the trenches to make SCW better, rather than just promise it like The One keeps doing. 

And I want that to be moreso this year. I want to hit the ground running and storm through SCW! I want to do bigger and better things than I did last year. I want to fight more and more dangerous people. I want to beat people that I couldn’t last year. I want to beat people that never took me seriously. I want to hold championships and fight the best of the divisions! I want to go from “Rookie of the Year” into maybe the “Star of Tomorrow” or the “Tag-Team of the Year” or be a candidate for Feud or Match of the Year – hell, maybe even be the “Female Wrestler of the Year”, who know?!

You know what isn’t missing from my voice, Amelia? What’s clearly devoid in you? That passion! That ambition! That spark that I saw in the eyes of those women when I watched SCW for the first time all those years ago. I have it! Just like they did! I have it and I refuse to lose it like you have. Because I know, somewhere, there’s a young girl that’s dealing with her own issues right now that will be tuning into tonight’s Breakdown and – darn it! – I want her to be inspired by me! I want her to be inspired like Selena inspired me! 

And I want those people to know what to do when people like The One oppress you or life holds you down! 

You fight back! You keep fighting! You grit your teeth and you show that GRIT! You show it and show the world what you are capable of and you remind the world of it every damn day!

So, The One… Amelia… get ready for the rudest reminder you have ever seen! Because 2023 belongs to the SCW Universe and belongs to The House of Frost! And tonight, you’re not just going to see it… oh no…

All of you, Amelia…and especially you, The One… will believe it!

Checkmate, bitches!
