Syren vs. “The One” Kirsten Scott

[TheOne]

{PROMO}

Kirsten Scott is seen on the riverbanks of the Midwest walking under the moonlight, with lightning bugs illuminating themselves around her.  Her demeanor seems much less "angered" than before, as she still wears her traditional dark clothing, but isn't trying to hide her face in the shadows of a hoodie.  Her gait is much more relaxed as she listens to the water flowing downstream from her, and feeling the presence of a camera, she just allows herself to begin talking.

And now... The world knows...

For a year, I shrouded myself in a thick layer of secrecy.  I kept my name, my identity, my story, everything, in the shadows, along with myself.  I did so because I didn't believe that I had a right to open my eyes and feel free, as The Oracle had given me the permission to do.  I felt there was still a layer of "finality" for "The One" before "Kirsten Scott" could ever breathe her first full breath again, and I feel I accomplished that.

It wasn't a championship...

It wasn't some transformational change...

But it was the beginnings of a new time in a place that had seen the same challenges and darkness that I had...

It was the new beginning of Supreme Championship Wrestling...

For many, things may still look and seem the same.  But to that, I say, look at the past 5 to 7 years in their totality, and tell me if you see the same thing today as you did back then.  Tell me if you HEAR the same things you did back then.  Tell me if people are just pissing and moaning themselves away, running away when they don't get their way, and making threats when they disagree with another.  Tell me if you see the same political structures of individuals cavorting around with specific people to give themselves an edge in the eyes of the masses.  Tell if you truly believe nothing has started fresh and anew, because I would be the first to tell you that you're wrong...

Now I alone couldn't have done anything like that.  I've always said I wasn't "The One" in that regard.  It could never have take ONE PERSON to transform SCW back to a place where it NEEDED to be to reclaim its former glory, it would take the hearts and souls of the masses telling those piss-ants who ruined it for many to get lost and stay away.  It would take managerial changes, and people adopting their talents to them, in order to make those changes.  And it would take the masses knowing that, in the end, they would be part of the greater solution than just one person standing on their high horse and shouting.  That's why I never professed to be the "Savior" of SCW, but merely the catalyst who lit the flame, and stoked the fire, while everyone else, those stronger and more adept, fought the good fight.

Now we are here, one year later, another showing at Taking Hold of the Flame that NOBODY anticipated for me.  Many thought I was putting my eggs in that infamous "transformational basket" that many do for Taking Hold of the Flame, and using that crutch to make myself sound more believable, but instead, I lived in the moment.  For over an hour I went in there and I stood my ground against some of the best of SCW's past, present, and FUTURE, and I did so in a fashion that made people take notice.

And this year... Final five... Year before, top 10...

At this rate the inevitable seems written in the tea leaves for 2024, because at that pace, if my math doesn't deceive me, there really is only ONE PLACE left for me to finish, and when I do, it will be, at that point, because I have become the best SCW has to offer, hands down...

Kirsten smirks as she continues to walk down the banks.

Bold claim, I know... Bold assertion... I know... But that's what I've learned in only one year of being in this business, it takes a bit of boisterousness to really set yourself apart, and while that may have not been the full on persona of "The One," that personality, that seriousness, that focus, that is just a mere part of who Kirsten Scott is, and I am here to tell you that what you're going to see going forward is a fresh, albeit similar, persona to "The One," but one who is a little more... Herself...

And if I were everyone... I wouldn't like that...

You see, people who put on a mask and act differently never are acting at their true potential.  They still have something left that they are not including in whatever the situation is.  I don't have that anymore.  I still may have a nickname of "The One," for now, but no longer is it DEFINING who I am.  DEFINING ME is my name, MY... FUCKING... NAME!  Kirsten Scott is someone who has been held back and held down her whole life and told that she couldn't amount to anything, and if "The One" did accomplish it, the guess what, Kirsten Scott did, too.  And guess what that means, it MEANS I ACCOMPLISHED IT!

To a degree I gave everyone a glimpse on what to expect, rather than coming in full throttle from the start.  I gave people a year to see what I could accomplish at LESS than 100 percent of what I have to give.  So people should thank me.  People should appreciate me for that.  Because what I am out to do now is improve on that exponentially because now I have nothing left in the tank or the reserves.  It's ALL going to be left inside the ring, no matter the cost.  Why?  Because I have no reason not to.  I have nothing to hold me back.  I have nothing left to hide.  What you're all going to get is me at my fullest potential, and if in two years, I'm four spots away from main eventing Rise to Greatness, well you damn well better believe it's a sign that this bitch is someone who should be taken seriously from here on out!

Kirsten stops and turns toward the camera.

Which brings me to you Syren...

Again, our paths are crossing.  Again I tangle with a legend of the rankings of SCW.  Again, I suspect you will be coming into this match with absolutely no expectations of me standing a chance against you.

Why?

Because I'm not dumb, Syren.  You don't respect anyone in SCW who isn't in your clique and inner circle.  Nobody can EVER be as good as you or your friends, and if they are, it's a fluke.  You don't give anyone a chance to argue that they truly are a superior talent to you because you shrug them off, even if they prove they can beat you time and time again.  Your wins and losses and the pissing and moaning is the EPITOME of what I say led the dark days of SCW, and I say that still to this day because, I can promise you this... History means nothing to you, and our history will conveniently slip out of your mind...

SO BECAUSE I'M A NICE GIRL... And I've read a lot, seen a lot, and done a lot, in my few years on this planet, let me give you a little history lesson... And the best part, it's recent history, only going back to March 3 of the year 2023 in the name of our Lord... As they say... It was Breakdown... Matches were had... Titles were on the lines... It was a Breakdown like many others, honestly... But with one match standing out among them all, to me...

Syren versus The One

That's right, dear.  As I said our paths are crossing again, and again it's on an episode of Breakdown in 2023.  But back to the history lesson, because I don't want you not getting the moral of the story, was the result.  You see, it featured the legendary Syren against this nobody who had been mediocre at best, and yet, when the final bell rang, Syren hadn't shown her prowess.  She hadn't shown her greatness.  She hadn't shown her SUPREMACY.  She has shown herself to have not had what it took to beat the mediocre newcomer, and tasted defeat at MY VERY HANDS!

Not a lot of people can say that, can they, Syren?  Not a lot can say they beat you in their first match against you?  Hell I know some of your fiercest foes in history can't say that, but I can.  I will always be able to say that.  And I will never acknowledge an excuse of yours as to why because I did it, and you can't deny it.

But this time, it's going to be different, right?  I mean Syren doesn't let the same person beat her twice in a row, does she?  She tries harder the next time.  She tries to prove it was a fluke, and she's really the dominant force in SCW, like she's been since Infamous first made their way onto the scene as a whole, right?  That's the storyline we are supposed to believe and anticipate aren't we?  We aren't supposed to believe that someone who isn't primed for a major opportunity or on a massive hot streak could outdo the great Syren TWICE IN A ROW, are we?

The answer is simple and straight forward... No...

Syren, unlike the past years in SCW you don't control the narrative around here.  You aren't the voice that represents what IS and IS NOT the factual basis of reality.  You aren't who you used to be and that grinds at you on the inside.  It makes you ache.  It makes you angry.  It makes you WISH you could turn the clock back and prove you weren't letting the reality of Father Time sink in, but unfortunately, you let a mediocre little girl do better than you one on one and EVEN MORE SO during Taking Hold of the Flame.

How is that possible?

How is that feasible?

Where is this Syren of old?

Like I said the narrative isn't yours anymore.  It's no longer your story to tell because you've gone from the protagonist and antagonist to the supporting cast.  You've moved from the front of the line to back because THAT Syren does not exist anymore.  You've lost your touch and it kills you inside, and I don't blame you.  I'm sure you've watched your greatest foes and opponents go through the same thing, and now, it's just your time as well.  Luckily for you, I show pity on the weak.  I put them out of their misery.  I take them out of the realm of being a shell of who they once were so they don't have to sit there and woe in their sorrows.

And I will do that to you at Breakdown...

I will put the final nail in the coffin of the one legendary Syren, and send her off into the sunset...

It's not because I can predict the future, no, it's because I control the narrative now.  I control myself and everything that surrounds me.  And I've already taken this staple of SCW's past out once, when I didn't control that narrative and now, I'm exponentially more dangerous, more vicious, and more willing to do what it takes in this business to get ahead and do what I want, when I want.

It's a mentality Syren once had herself... She once was that person who had the hunger, had the drive, had the WANT to prove everyone wrong about what she was capable of and how much of a badass she was.  And she accomplished that time and time again, and MADE herself THE FACE of this place, but now, look at her... Look at what's left... It's a shell of what once was.  It's sad, but unfortunately is what it is.

And that's where I come into play.

That's where I do what someone who actually BELIEVES in the future should do, and that's put Syren out of her misery once and for all.

Syren, we have danced before.  We have shown one another what we can do, and behind the age and tired attempts to rekindle what once was, I see that Syren COULD still exist.  But I also looked into your eyes and saw the desperation.  I saw the woman who had lost the confidence in herself and lost the DRIVE to show the world what she could once do.  And I saw it as "The One," when I wasn't at my best... If I see that as ME... If I see that as Kirsten Scott... All nomenclatures aside, you'll be forced to accept that the greatness of Syren is gone.  You'll be resorted to accepting the reality that Syren is no more, and all that is left is the remnants of Zoe Sperling.

That's when you'll have to ask yourself if that is the legacy and final memory you want to leave?  Do you want the world to see you as just a name of what you once were, or someone who went out on her shield, like the CHAMPION she was all along?

Syren... I will be honest, and truthful... You're the last of the last generation of newcomers that made SCW special.  You're the one person, and maybe Ravyn, but I know nothing of her minus her affiliation with you, who didn't LEAD SCW into the dark ages.  You, and several others, emerged from it.  Let THAT be your legacy.  Don't let it be Zoe Sperling going out there and playing dress up as a character she once embodied.  Because if you do that... If you allow yourself to play dress up and I'm in the ring, I will destroy your legacy.  I will destroy everything you've ever embodied.  I will make Infamous, well, Insignificant.  And I won't hesitate because, unlike you, I am emerging from the shadows of a name that didn't define me, and I have become better because of it.  You've allowed that name to define you for LIFE.

So the decision is in your hands...

What do you do?

Do you come to the ring and play dress up again, and have your legacy tarnished in front of everyone who supported you?  Or do you fight one last time, and go our on your shield like a true hero and true CHAMPION would?

I can't make that decision for you.  All I can do is guarantee that I will put the beating to you in the same way, whether it look easy, or look like you're making me try.  Because at Breakdown, I begin a new quest in SCW because after ONE YEAR I've completed my first.  I accomplished my goal of turning the page away from the shambles this place had become... Now it's time for Kirsten Scott to go out there and show the world who she truly is, and has been all along.  Not some mediocre, unnamed, individual who came out of left field, but instead, a fire that finally burned itself to complete ashes, creating a perfect environment...

This year marks the dawning of a new era, Syren... MY ERA...

From ashes to GLORY... The new SCW PHOENIX rises...

With those final words, Kirsten returns to walking into the night, her silhouette being seen along the banks, and the camera stopping in its tracks.  Now marks the new phase of the woman SCW has grown to know over the past year.  No longer wearing her person "Scarlet Letter," she is free to express herself in ways she feels best suits her, and in whatever means necessary.
