LOCATION: MIAMI
MANY WEEKS AGO

(Over the course of the past couple of months, and especially since Taking Hold of the Flame, Bekah and Owen’s relationship had grown closer, as the two of them put aside old grudges, and worked on making Bekah battle ready for the moment her dream was realized and an SCW contract was in her possession. Her performance in the battle royal had opened a few eyes to her, but SCW still hadn’t come forward, which had disappointed her. Owen had made it clear; she’d made an impact and to be patient. Over the course of the weeks, she had picked things up quickly, and as far as Owen was concerned, she was ready to at least compete on a playing field that would make her competitive. The issue was, she was stepping foot in a company where competitiveness wouldn’t be enough, especially with the buzzards circling around her name. At the end of a session with one of the Next Level coaches, Owen calls her over, throwing a bottle of water in her direction and asking her to take a seat which she does. After she had caught her breath and taken a drink, Owen opens the conversation with a smile.)

Owen: So, how are you feeling… I know Matt hasn’t taken it easy on you so how’s the aches and pains holding up?

Bekah: I feel great, stronger and faster by the day.

Owen: It shows, you’ve got some movement out there. Fast, elusive… you remind me a lot of myself.

Bekah: Yeah.

Owen: For sure. Shaun went more down the power route like Dad, though he was more than capable technically. Like me when I started, the plan was to not let anyone catch me. Reckon it will work for you too.

Bekah: If I get the call.

(Owen smiles as reassuringly as he can.)

Owen: Look Bekah, these things take time and now might not be the right time for SCW to take a chance on you. I mean, there are other options…

Bekah: No, it’s got to be SCW. I’m not interested in competing anywhere else, and SCW is the best of the best. If I’m going to make it, it must be there.

Owen: OK, I hear you. But in that case, you must be patient and let things pan out. CHBK is aware of you, and he deals with all the hiring and firing. You performed admirably at Taking Hold of the Flame and that will put you in good stead. Once he finds a spot, he’ll call you up, and when he does, you have to be ready.

Bekah: I will be

Owen: Good. It’ll happen Bekah, you’re too good for it not too. And I cannot wait to see how far you go. Apart from Kloe in IWC, there’s never been a female Cruze really established themselves unless you count Taylor when she was married to Dad and it would be nice to see it happen.

Bekah: I won’t let anyone down, especially the name.

Owen: My advice to that?

Bekah: Sure

Owen: Try not to get hung up on the name too early. You’re not trying to be Dad, or Shaun or even the exceptional Owen Cruze…

Bekah: Dick

Owen: No, but seriously. It’s easy to get hung up on something you are supposed to be and forget about who YOU are. You are a Cruze and there is no denying that… but who is Bekah? That is what you should concentrate on more than anything. Do that, and everything else will fall into place. And if you see anyone talking about rabbit holes… stay away from them.

(Bekah didn’t fully understand the reference, but it was Owen harking back when his name was put fully into the spotlight by Giovanni, a time that so very nearly destroyed him.)

Owen: When it happens, it’s all about taking it one match at a time. CHBK won’t be signing you because you are a Cruze, he’ll be signing you because you impressed him. Keep impressing him, focus on who you are, and the opportunities will follow. And keep close to Shaun, because no one knows this business and how it works better than he does.

(She understood the logic, but all Bekah wanted was to feel that adrenaline pumping again like she had at Taking Hold of the Flame, and drink in the reaction once more that she received as she had headed down to the ring, not knowing what was to happen next. Even her elimination had felt like something special, her inexperience cost her at the crucial time. Another piece of learning she would never forget. She wanted to be patient, does as she was told, but at the same time, all she wanted to do was compete regularly.)

Bekah: Talking of Shaun, has he said anything to you.

Owen: What about you?

Bekah: No, I mean I know you guys are close, I thought he might have talked to you about SCW, and how it is right now.

Owen: Delarosso?

Bekah: Yeah

(Owen sighs, he had spoken with Shaun at great length, Owen although younger seen as an ideal sounding board to the elder Cruze.)

Owen: It’s a story as old as time to be honest Bekah. In Dad’s Day, all the way through to present, there has always been people that think they can do better than the established order. Frank is no different. He has his own ideas about the way things work. He thinks that by tricking people to side with him, he’ll take over the company and mold it in his own image. But the thing is, people like that, they are blinded by their own egos, and they don’t see the build up within their own little groups. Take Delarosso for instance… he’s put Bree and Gavin in the same group as Polly, three names that undeniably only want the spotlight for themselves. They don’t care about Frank, only what he can apparently bring them, and yes… for a short while, perhaps they will find some success. But eventually, those egos get the better of them, someone is put out, and the whole group implodes. That is EXACTLY what is going to happen here. Shaun knows that and that’s why he had nothing to do with Frank’s bullshit. He’ll ride it out and take them all down one by one till they topple like a line of dominos.

Bekah: But…

(She hesitates, not wanting to talk out of turn.)

Owen: No, it’s OK, what do you want to say?

Bekah: He’s not… I hate saying this.

Owen: Go on.

Bekah: He’s not the Shaun he once was.

(Surprisingly, Owen smiles and doesn’t seem upset with the comment at all.)

Owen: No, he’s not the same Shaun that won the World Championship over a decade ago. And you know what, he hasn’t reached the standards he did back then.

(Owen points to his temple.)

Owen: But up here Bekah, I promise you that there is no one better. And there isn’t a single person in that company that can tolerate pain or have the heart he does to succeed. He’s been through a lot with Angyalka, and his finances and this business right now are all he has. And you know what? Watching him, he is still more than capable of beating anyone on that roster, and I include the World Champion in that. If he starts getting that momentum… well, you’ll see how he got the name ‘Impact Player’ in the first place.

Bekah: But he can’t fight off everyone can he? No matter how good he might be

(This was a comment that the Cruze family had received on many occasions. They’d been told so many times that the odds where unsurmountable, only to come out the other side.)

Owen: Well, when we’ve got you on board, he won’t have to will he? Until then, he’s more than capable of holding the fort.

(She wasn’t sure, and even from talking to Shaun himself, Shaun wasn’t certain that eventually, Frank and his minions wouldn’t overpower him. She knew that it was frustrating for Shaun because all he wanted to do was compete, and yet like always he had been brought into this battle for so-called morality. It had been the core of what his career had been built on, and it seems that this kind of trouble always managed to find him.)

Bekah: What if he didn’t have to?

Owen: What do you mean?

Bekah: What if he had ALL his family behind him?

(The realization of what she was saying hits home almost immediately.)

Owen: Bekah, I…

Bekah: No, just hear me out for a minute. Recent events have got me thinking, over the years whether it be IWC, ULW or SCW, which family has always been there, trying to do what is right for this industry? Dad, Shaun, you… besides a few moments here and there, you all fought the good fight, and built this ‘legacy’ that I’m expected to now uphold. You three all won titles, claimed your accomplishments, took the applause, but if you asked yourself the truth, it was never really about that was it? It was because all three of your fought for this business, sometimes to the detriment of your personal lives… especially Dad. What if, we went to CHBK and told him that we wanted the Cruze family legacy not to be about what we won, but instead what we accomplished. And one more time, cleaned up this business so that true competitors can find their own way instead of needing a handout from someone like Frank Delarosso. With the whole family there, watching each other’s backs, we would have the numbers.

Owen: The problem is Bekah, I’m done. I promised Jennifer that as far as I was concerned, I would never compete again. I mean to keep that promise.

Bekah: But can’t you see, you wouldn’t have to compete, you’d just have to be there, once a week, in the background just in case it all went south. I’m sure all Jennifer wants is for you to be happy. Are you really going to be happy seeing Shaun and I being handed our asses every week trying to do the right thing, and you unable to do something about it?

Owen: You’ve really thought this through, haven’t you?

Bekah: Dad always told me it’s not always about being the best at something, it’s about how you are remembered. And isn’t that what legacy really is? I know Shaun would love you by his side, and I know I would. Let’s give the fans something to REALLY remember, the sight of us all standing there together. One family. One legacy.

Owen: If I do this, Jenni will have to give her full approval. I’m not doing this without her being on board.

Bekah: Totally understand that

Owen: And I’m only there… a presence.

Bekah: Absolutely.

Owen: OK, I’ll see what she says and then speak to Shaun. If both are ok with it, I’m in.

Bekah: YES!!!

Owen: You’re very persuasive do you know that?

Bekah: You met my Mum, right?

(Owen chuckles)

Owen: I most definitely did. But you are still forgetting one thing… you still need that contract

Bekah: Like you say… I just must be patient. And anyway, how could he resist having all the Cruze’s under one roof at the same time. The ratings will skyrocket.

Matt: BEKAH… come on, breaks over.

(Bekah nods, turning back to Owen.)

Bekah: No rest for the wicked.

(She heads back, leaving Owen alone with his thoughts, a smirk forming on his face.)

Owen: She’s just like you Dad.

(Scene fades.)

ON CAMERA
/RECORDING

“It’s been a hectic couple of weeks. What with me running out to help Shaun when Gavin got the hired help to bail him out, and then Owen surprised the world with his return. To last week, me confirming that my contract to compete is now in place, thanks CHBK, and Owen making it clear he is back as well. No denying, it’s been an ‘impactful’ start to the new season. And the best bit, we have only just gotten started.”

(Bekah nods her head and she considers her next words.)

“See, over the last few months you have heard Shaun talk a lot of legacy with regards to the Cruze family. And there is no doubt, that name harks back to so many times when my dad, Shaun and of course Owen had so much success. But even though I’m new to this whole experience, that doesn’t mean to say I was blinker to what truly builds a legacy. What you are remembered FOR.”

(She pauses to allow that sentiment to sink in before continuing.)

“If you look back through history, there are no doubt individual that are remembered for winning things. Individuals that made their mark. If I asked that question right now, an open question to anyone listening, I’m sure you would all have your opinions. But when you break it all down, why are they remembered? Is it because they were plastered all over your television screens as a champion? Or was it because they actually did something that legitimately helped this industry? Most people take the plaudits, but they never give back. It’s all about them, and nothing else. Owen tried, you all remember the Perfect Pack right? But he was way too young to be burdened with that responsibility. Legacy, is what you are remembered for. The Cruze family want to be remembered for not only giving back… but also cleaning up the mess.

This is where you come in Fred.

Now OK, you’ve been here a while now, and are a part of the Konrad Raab brain trust, but believe it or not, I’m not going to hold that against you. I’m not even going to comment on any of your friends who saw fit to do Frank’s bidding the other weeks because his own hired hands had proven incapable. I’m not even going to say you are a shitty wrestler, with a shitty name and an even shittier name for your little band of brothers that was no doubt compiled using Konrads single brain cell he had left. No Fred, what I am going to do is focus on something you said a few weeks back that caught my eye when you were facing the Glimmer Sisters. I quote, the fact is women in wrestling to be honest make me sick the most because I've legit never ever seen any female wrestler that takes the wrestling business seriously, not one. You said that right? Seeing as there is video footage, I’m going to move on with my point, assuming that you wouldn’t make yourself look even stupider with denial. Because not only is it one of the most chauvinistic comments that I have ever heard, which totally flies in the face of what Konrad wanted to achieve, seeing as one of the people he respects more than most is Kimberly Williams. But secondly, it’s probably one of the most incorrect statements to come out of 2026 so far, when you consider you can look over the current roster, and probably the top five successful competitors this year would be female barring a couple of exceptions.

Need a bit more to get it through your thick skull?

Syren, is probably the most successful competitor to walk these corridors. Selena Frost would be right up there as well. The current World Champion is female. The competitor she won it off, was female. I could go on and on, but I’m hoping that it’s starting to sink in now. If your comments were true, and women didn’t take this business seriously and just thought about their looks, they wouldn’t consistently achieve as much as the men. If all they were, was about their appearance, then you would see them carried out on stretchers every week. Now don’t get me wrong, you’re probably much stronger than most of the women I have mentioned. You’re proud of your physique, and no doubt hit the gym most days yeah? But tell me, where has that got you? The ‘Only Person in EFN to win a match at a PPV’ award? I mean, you might have done something spectacular that I’ve missed… this is my first match and all. But from where I sit, just like most of your group, you flap your gums A LOT but consistently fail to back it up. I know someone else like that, his name was Konrad, so I guess it figures.

But hold on…

You are accompanied by Ginny Raab? Does she not take wrestling seriously either? Is she only concerned about her looks, because from where I see it, she is legitimately trying to turn to guys into more of a force and less of a joke. Fact is, it has nothing to do with wrestling, and you are just a chauvinistic asshole, simple as. You got a girlfriend right? Olivia? Where is she? Tied to the kitchen sink? Or, as I believe, is this individual you are presenting me, just a character trying to stand out in this company? And making himself look like a walking, talking contradiction?

(A shrug of the shoulders breaks up the narrative.)

“Let me bring you fully up to speed Freddy, because I want no excuses when this little princess walks into Boston and shows you that a decent physique doesn’t necessarily mean victories against someone with the poise and speed that I possess. How’s it going to look when the rookie on her maiden voyage puts you categorically, and emphatically in your place? I take this business VERY seriously, because like Owen, I was born into it. I am only speaking to you now, because I am contracted to do so. You’re going to find something out about me on Thursday, something that I want others to take notice of. That being, I don’t use my words to prove points, or my surname to get credibility. I do that, quite simply, by putting assholes like you to the sword. Now I understand you’re a bit stupid, because your experiences in this company so far should have taught you differently, and you should be speaking to me with respect. But I think we both know that isn’t going to happen, and so instead I’m going to beat you. Or alternatively, laugh in your face when you have to send the entire Fiery fuckups to do your job. Either way Freddy, you come across as pathetic.

All this considered, and the misogynous bullshit out the way, I am going to enjoy my first foray into competition as a fully fledged member of this roster, stepping into an SCW ring for the first time, just like my family have all done in the past. I want to make one thing abundantly clear before I go. I know, I’m a Cruze. I’m proud to be a Cruze. But if you think you know me simply because of that fact, I advise every single person in this company to think again. I know I have so much to learn. I know I have so much to prove. But unlike Freddy’s beliefs, I have all the desire in the world to do both those things and do myself proud. And be a part of a legacy that never stops loving this industry, and always, ALWAYS gives back. With that in mind and with all due respect, last words for you Frederick. I’m nobodies pretty little thing dude. I am pretty, for sure, but it’s not going to define me. What will define me is kicking your ass all over Boston, over the state line and all the way back to whenever in Europe you came from. Italy isn’t it? So let me finish with this. You’re a real ‘Pisa’ work. There is more than enough ‘Rome’ for females in this industry.”

(She chuckles to herself.)

“All funny stuff, but when I hit that ring, ‘Amore’ than capable of beating you. So ‘Penne’ for your thoughts?

(A final smile, the smile of someone really enjoying themselves, though the time for joking was almost over.)

“The time for talking is over, the time for joking also over. I won’t be joking around on Thursday, you’ll see. You know what, actually I think I’ve got time for one more.”

(She chuckles one more time.)

“Pasta la Vista, baby.”

(Scene fades.)

[Federico Gasperoni]

Atlanta, Georgia. Sunday 11th October. (Off-Camera)

Another day in the gym after having an important meeting with another wrestler yesterday about plans for Wednesday in another company, but today, it was European Fiery Nation training day and well, lets say things needed to be discussed. Sure, they got in trouble with Dean Black about Frank stating the team aren't living up to their standards because of results lacking, but in reality, it wasn't in the case of Federico Gasperoni who was the only one who has won matches in the entire team. Strange for them to think about, but people can say they need to step up their game, but there wasn't anything they can think of to step their game farther other than being generic and boring selves to be like the rest of the roster.

That was never going to be the plan of European Fiery Nation to be the same and they stood out on being a bunch of thugs beating on people, that's what they were known for. Just as much as Federico Gasperoni was known for working his body out with perfection as he was posing in the mirror as he usually does in his own gym because all Federico does was work on his body. He was so decided to his body that his social life is pretty much non existent outside of taking Olivia to dates.

As he was posing in the mirror for his instagram videos, there was a man that he said for not to come yesterday because of a meeting that a wrestler that they don't get along with. The guy known as Oskar who like Federico also had a match this week and quite frankly, Oskar didn't really know Federico that well compared to the other members as he hadn't had the time to himself with Federico.

Their wrestling styles were the complete opposite as Federico wants to be a big wrestler and Oskar was all about the speed and high flying moves. At times, they can clash heads because of their contrasting wrestling styles, but that's what made European Fiery Nation unique that they aren't based off one wrestling style. Anyway, Federico moves onto lifting weights and Oskar came next to him to run the treadmill to talk.

Oskar Theron: “Man, I know we have different styles of how wrestling works, but we are a team at the same time.”

Federico Gasperoni: “But that's what people miss about us that sure, we have different wrestling styles, but we are a team still regardless and one style makes the other stronger. But I do think we got the wrong opponents here.”

Oskar Theron: “I agree with that actually, big time when you compare the wrestling styles of both female wrestlers.”

Federico Gasperoni: “Sick of these bloody nepo babies coming in just because their family made a success out of the wrestling business. What a joke this business is becoming that these nepo babies take over just because of the family bullshit. Shows how lazy they are.”

Oskar Theron: “At least me and my brother didn't even know each other and didn't leech off each other's wrestling styles as we're so different.”

Which was true as Oskar was the high flyer and Dakon was more like Federico of being a powerhouse wrestler, but all of the team were violent wrestlers and it was a thing that Federico hadn't showcased yet and it was something Federico was craving, especially Oskar knew it from seeing him wrestle matches in Atlanta Wrestling Alliance.

Federico Gasperoni: “Heck, you guys didn't even know each other until years later so no nepo baby methods with you. Unlike this Bekah Cruze opponent who got into the business because of her father and her uncle, even her brother as well. It's a freaking joke how entitled these wrestlers are entitled to be in the business because of their family.”

Oskar Theron: “At least Syren actually takes wrestling seriously and made it in the business on her own without leeching family members off each other.”

Federico Gasperoni: “Also at least she isn't a traditional female wrestler that relies on fast speed.”

Oskar Theron: “I agree there, but we know how much we dislike each other when it comes to wrestling as a whole.”

Federico Gasperoni: “But here's the thing I do respect about you Oskar, at least you're willing to become bigger by working out, not many high flyers do that you know, they give up and feel they accept being small wrestlers that can never be bigger.”

That was at least something that Federico could appreciate with Oskar at least was the workout ethic side of things of Oskar trying to get bigger, but still maintain a high flying wrestling style and Oskar knew he had to speak positivity about Federico, especially the fact he was trying to get bigger everyday, but that isn't what he complements him on.

Oskar Theron: “While I admire that you actually stand out to the rest of the wrestlers. Sure, you're so against high flying, but you want to bring back the eighties wrestling and not many young kids want to see that kind of wrestling you know. I actually don't know any young wrestlers in the business that are like you, that's the truth.”

Federico Gasperoni: “I always want to be the bodybuilder that the eighties wrestling fans can admire, I want to be the sculpture of my body and be a wax statue of my body because there's nothing wrong with being the bodybuilder and wrestler of the world. I dislike nepo babies being in the wrestling business, thinking they are all that and quite frankly, they are lazy.”

Oskar Theron: “Yeah, like Bekah could've done something different than leeching off her families success, even with her brother, but I hate this being the norm myself. I don't get why they can't actually think of their own goals to chase than leeching family members to gain their own success. It's such the norm in sports nowadays.”

Federico Gasperoni: “Sure, OK, my dad was a bodybuilder, but I also told him that I wasn't going to just do that, you know, my father was never a wrestler because he never wanted to be a wrestler, but I was only doing bodybuilding because he was. It was all I grew up doing and then I take wrestling a step farther. I doubt of Bekah even had the chance to explore other things beyond wrestling like I did.”

Oskar didn't even know much of the family story either about his father being a bodybuilder, but it wasn't like he was taking up his father, especially he wanted to be a professional wrestler to get back into the eighties wrestling once again that Federico admired and it was something else Oskar wanted to be positive about. Oskar decided to lift weights also, but Federico was also on another machine that lifted his entire body up like doing chin ups with weights on.

Oskar Theron: “Another thing I admire is I've never seen you take steroids whatsoever, like you work and build your body naturally.”

Federico Gasperoni: “Because I know how much steroids can kill someone. I have been asked a few times to take steroids, but I said no because I wanted to build my body naturally and so far, things are going just fine for me. Also there's another reason why I'm doing professional wrestling as well as the bodybuilding contests. Because to find my mum.”

Oskar Theron: “I wondered if you had a mother.”

Federico Gasperoni: “She left when I was a kid because she got sick and tired of my dad being nothing, but a bodybuilder and she saw very quickly that I was taking an interest in what my dad done fast. So she left us and I don't know where she went, but I'm dying to know where she is, dying to know that if she saw me on TV one day, she knows where I am and come to meet me.”

Oskar felt bad on how lucky he and Dakon were when it came to families that they were really the only ones that had a very close family of having both parents, Ginny even didn't have a close family relationship with her uncles, Kemal's entire family were dead in the earthquakes and Federico as Oskar learned didn't have a mother around him and he didn't know anything about Ludvig's family if he had parents that support him or not.

Oskar Theron: “I admire that. I wish I could help you out here, but other than Shaun being Bekah's uncle and Owen being Bekah's big brother. There's not much I can help you out with as I don't know what she's like in the ring, other than being a high flyer from the looks of things, but you can crush her down to a few pegs and make sure she doesn't start flying.”

Federico Gasperoni: “Oh, I got that all hands down of keeping her being thrown around like a ragdoll. Her as a wrestler disgraces me with the family leech and the high flying side of things. I don't understand the women in wrestling that never want to be wrestlers in the eighties again like surely, some have to take an interest in building their bodies, right?”

Oskar Theron: “There should be more in my opinion as personally, all female wrestlers are all the same, that's what makes us guys better is we're way more varied in wrestling.”

Federico Gasperoni: “All these girls are good for is showing how attractive and pretty they are and I know, you have that attitude as well, but you do it for the men as well. I will have no problems handling Bekah Cruze who all I can say about her is a nepo baby, wrestlers like that need to stop following their family's footsteps and actually think of their own goals and do something else with their careers. If I ever had a kid, I make sure they want to do something else beyond what me or Olivia does.”

Oskar Theron: “Same and I wouldn't even want them to be professional wrestlers to be honest with you, they should seek their own goals and do what they want to do, not because we're wrestlers or bodybuilders.”

That was something Oskar and Federico would agree with to remove the family legacy being in one thing crap and to evolve beyond wrestling and bodybuilding that their parents do and they were working out pretty hard and then, they stopped to drink some water.

Federico Gasperoni: “I'm going to make sure my customers are alright as I do offer some help towards them and even give training sessions to the public should they need extra encouragement gym work. It's always a good thing when I can give some extra training sessions to push them forward as a trainer.”

Oskar Theron: “I absolutely agree. Anyway, I take off as I got some business to attend in New York to hang out with my friends after this workout and you do whatever it is you'll do and hope you beat the living hell out of the nepo baby. I got goals for the current SCW champion more than you think because it works with what my nickname is and what their nickname is, you'll find out in my video this week.”

Federico Gasperoni: “Same with you with another entitled former world champion that she cares about more than anything in the world and her stupid manager making conspiracies all the time, make sure she's crushed and stop thinking about the SCW title being the only goal you want.”

Now they went their seperate ways, even if the relationship was weird between them, mostly because they had different opinions how wrestling should work and it was the thing that made EFN a threat and more so that Federico was going to continue working out and he does until Tuesday where he had to get going to wrestle in another company and then wrestling in SCW the next day.

---------------------------------

Not another stupid nepo baby getting a spot on the roster instagram video (Online)

“While I go on about disliking women for not looking like bodybuilders to take the wrestling business seriously and I still stand by that by the way, but rather I dislike something else in wrestling or sports and entertainment places in general that's becoming more known, these stupid nepo babies and that totally includes you Bekah Cruze that you aren't in the business because you want to be.

You claim you want to be and shall we go on about the brain cells crap, seeing that you share the same brain cells as the Cruze family because you're just as stupid as them, trying to leech of their success. Instead of doing another sport or doing another entertainment thing that you could've done to actually put in the work yourself, you the nepo baby just like your brother wanted to join SCW because it's what they've done. Also I'm nothing like Konrad at all whatsoever. Does it look like I preech about violence and want to destroy people? No I don't and I barely even know Konrad.

People like you and Owen are another reason why I dislike this business and what exactly what have you done to even have the right to talk that mouth like that? Nothing and you're already a complete joke to speak of because who the fuck are you to know who Konrad is? Because you're brain cells idiotic family you share with told you so? Oh, the irony and the hypocrisy of your entire family. No wonder since you're such a nepo baby.

Yes women as world champions makes me sick because they were handed those belts that they don't deserve and I allow Oskar to talk about the Frost family because well, there's reasons for that and being who I am gets me farther than showing all that talent and have only titles and wins to fall back on. Whoopie, nobody gives a fuck, that doesn't make you all special, makes you all dull. Women wrestlers are on top because they were handed titles, that simple and it's an complete utter disgrace that men aren't doing better to knock these women down. None of these women want to be big and strong, none of these women want to be bodybuilders and I wait to see if any of them want to be powerhouses and show strength, but we won't because they are so generic.

Something else that's missing with you nepo babies and young wrestlers is none of you have personalities to speak of and right now, you are essentially just as boring as your brother, uncle and your father is, there's nothing to invest in you other than you trying to leech off their success because you're dumbass can't do anything else, seeing that you all talk the same bullshit. Where's the personalities of wrestlers gone? Why are EFN the only ones that bringing the personalities back into wrestling?

Bet you're only here in SCW as well because you know that you can't succeed anywhere else. All of us in SCW except for Dakon and Ludvig have another company to wrestle for to promote this team, the wrestling soon and soon a racing team too, can you believe this is the only team in sports history that's going to be known for more than one sport? Heck, even I do as I speak to face the guy who loves pink tomorrow, but I also got to deal with a nepo baby who just like everyone else, cares so much about what other people have done. I don't give a fuck what other opponents say about me, I don't give a fuck about their success and I certainly do not give a damn about your family success either because sure, all of them have been world champions, but doesn't mean you will be. I highly doubt you even wanted to be a wrestler.

While me on the other hand, none of my family members were ever professional wrestlers, my dad was a bodybuilder, but I'm not leeching off his successes by just doing that, in fact, he was only a European bodybuilding champion, I'm going to go farther than just that. I made myself to be a wrestler because this was the only other sport for it apart from weightlifting but that would be too easy for someone like me, that I do pretty much what Dexter Grant does, except instead of being anti social media, I'm very anti high flying and anti wrestlers that look like shit which even fans complain about at times that there's many wrestlers that look nothing like how wrestlers should be.

Even Oskar knows my opinions that about the state of professional wrestling today that high flying wrestling is nothing special anymore and nor are you female wrestlers being champions in male title divisions and nepo babies coming in the sport and act you don't have to do shit to get into the sport. I really don't know why you nepo babies won't break the mold and say you know what, I want to make my own business by doing another sport or entertainment system to make my own name or even going to another company to make my own name.

It makes me ill thinking about I have to face a nepo baby who had family success and doesn't do anything to be in the business. Sure you were trained by your family, but mostly because they forced you into the business as most nepo babies are and I'll be proud to throw you around the ring and showing you what a real wrestler looks like, a real wrestler should be in the eighties and wanting to be all big and look like they can kick my ass, Selena Frost couldn't, nor can you and realistically, eighties women wrestlers would be only in the women’s division.

Oh no, Frank isn't happy with us because of our performance, I don't care, I'm not changing for anyone because I have the idea of the business and nepo babies don't because you all are successful and nobody stands out, I mean I can't tell if you're Shaun, Owen or Orlando underneath you because you're using their name after all to be in the business since you honestly don't want to be here, you truly don't. Anyway, you're another ass I got to kick this week and destroy the living shit out of you for purely sharing the same brain cell since you brought it up as Cruze family.”

BOSTON
THURSDAY 15TH

(Bekah sits on a couch, doing some publicity shots for her upcoming in-ring debut, and enjoying the experience. This was a part of the job that Owen never really relished, but for her it was second nature. She had always enjoyed being the center of attention, even since being a child, and now wasn’t any different and with the camera on her, she didn’t feel out of place. The crew call for a break, and one of them, Debbie, comes over with a smile on her face.)

Debbie: Have you seen?

Bekah: Seen what?

Debbie: Frederico spoke… and it’s a doozy

Bekah: Really? You got it there?

Debbie: Yeah, one minute.

(Debbie opens the Instagram app, and scrolls to his post, loading it up and the two of them watching it together. Bekah never stops smiling, even chuckling at points, until it ends.)

Bekah: Wow… Debbie, do you reckon you can do me a favor?

Debbie: What’s that?

Bekah: Can we do a live stream, right now?

Debbie: Sure… you don’t want to prepare?

Bekah: Nah, just make sure you tag in SCW yeah? I want everyone to hear this.

Debbie: No worries, give me a minute.

(She prepares before pointing the camera at Bekah.)

Debbie: OK, shoot.

ON CAMERA

“Hey guys, Bekah here. Doing some publicity shots for Breakdown and just taking a break to comment on what Freddy had to say about me a moment ago. Was going to leave, but sometimes, things gotta be said you know and this is one of those moments. Freddy, I do want to congratulate for doubling down on the whole ‘females in wrestling’ thing, because although your arguments didn’t make a great deal of sense, at least you stood by your beliefs. But the main thing I want to congratulate you on is basically doing my job for me and showing the world that you are every bit as stupid as I thought you were. See, you are right… as a rookie, I shouldn’t have the right to come on here and disrespect you in the way I did. You think I should know my place, and usually, you’d be right. In fact, if it had been probably 95% of the rest of this roster, my attitude would have been different, but it wasn’t them Fred, it was you. And you sir, have done NOTHING to earn my respect. See, when you come out with the sexist bullshit, no female on this roster is going to respect you, and you don’t care, I get that. But the reason I spoke to you in the way I did was simply because that is what you deserved. You don’t think I belong here, and that’s fine, that’s your prerogative, but if you think I’m going to play nice of the back of it, you are sadly mistaken. The worst part of it all though, is that I wasn’t surprised by this response. Not in the slightest.

Obviously, because I’m a ‘nepo baby’, I’ll come back to that in a bit, I spoke to those that had seen, and done it all in this company, as to how to approach what I was about to do. I spoke with Shaun, and I spoke with Owen and amongst all the pearls of wisdom there were three things that they told me to expect. One, they are going to come at you and tell them you are cashing in on the Cruze name. Two, they are going to call you generic. And three, they are going to say you are boring. Check, Check and Check, because those were the basis for your defense, even though your comments could have been thought up by a second grader, and your whole physique makes you just about as generic as they come. It’s obvious to me you didn’t listen to a word I said, and you’d already drawn your conclusions without even stepping into the ring with me. My comments should have at least formed the possibility of other conclusions, but no… you’d already made your mind up. Konrad Raab lite, just like the rest of the Fiery knob heads, each one of you from different countries, but still somehow sounding the same.

So, nepo baby, a term I’m guessing you only learned in the last couple of weeks and felt the need to use it about a thousand times in one promo. Don’t get antsy, that’s an over-exaggeration, it wasn’t that many, but it was a lot. Tell me, do you think that Shaun and Owen didn’t face the exact same allegations? My Father was the Icon, a bona fide legend, someone who define this industry for years to come. Of course, the Cruze family are all going to have this huge broad shouldered shadow looming over us. But guess what Freddy, that is what inspired Shaun and Owen, to break from that shadow and form their own career. You call Shaun and Owen the same term as you have given me, and yet both were World Champions, have you even come close to that? You say I’m only here because of who my dad was, totally ignoring what I did in one of the toughest matches in SCW, Taking Hold of the Flame, a match that your mentor always avoided. My whole narrative, which wasn’t as convoluted as yours, focused on one ideology. Not talking but doing… and yet YOU are with the generic rhetoric. Not even giving me a chance. Tell me, Freddy, what are you going to do when I beat you? What excuses are you going to bring to the table when the EFN must bail you out? If us ‘Nepos’ get all the opportunities given to them, why the hell am I facing you in my first match and not someone much, MUCH more talented? Simple, just like Shaun, and just like Owen when he was competing, the Cruze family never needed anything handing to them on a plate. And you can rewrite history if you wish, but it isn’t anything that the archives wouldn’t show anyone who dared to educate themselves.

Those that are not like you.

Now, for someone who doesn’t know Konrad much apparently, you certainly went in hard to defend him. To even ask a question like ‘How do I know Konrad?’ is a ridiculous notion, seeing as his whole life has been a constant share. I didn’t need Owen or Shaun to tell me the kind of person he is, I saw. I saw how every word he spoke was about violence, blood, and how little he cared about others. Unlike you, who by the looks of it doesn’t give any thought to what he is saying, and prefers to just hope something sticks, I do my homework… because I want to be a success. Getting to know who the EFN is means I had to understand who Konrad was.

Simple really, isn’t it?

Look Fred, I’m going to level with you now. I listen to you, and it’s clear you don’t have the first clue of how important this first match is to me, and how important I know it is to lay down a marker for everyone else I will face this season, as I try to make it, in one of the most talented rosters in the world. I lose to you, and I understand more than most that the locker room chatter is going to intensify, and every word you have said is going to look like the truth. It’s also clear that you have no idea of my family history, and how important it was to finally be known as a respected member of the Cruze family, and how much I know want to solidify the legacy that my dad, Shaun and Owen built. You’ve dismissed me as a woman. Mistake number one. You dismissed the legacy I am a part of. Mistake number two. And you didn’t recognize me as a talent. Mistake number three. All this, whilst having NO accomplishments to speak of, and having the narrative and physique of someone who belongs to the eighties when powerhouses were all the rage. My strength isn’t in my size, or power Frederico, it’s in my intelligence and will to succeed. You don’t get that now, and there is every chance you’ll never allow yourself to learn the truth. Syren, Selena, Glory, Amelia… I could go on and on, all of them faced these same statements from the uneducated. Those man that did make it, like my family, did so because they understood what you do not. Size and strength are fine attributes, but it’s got you nothing more than a probable pencil dick. And when I put you away this week, it’s going to be far more than your ego that is bruised. Go be a ‘two sport’ competitor, my guess is just like Konrad, you’ll be better at racing than you’ll ever be at wrestling. The funny thing is everyone knows this… but you. I may never be a World Champion, that is just about the most truthful statement you made. But you know what, having listened to you, and seen you in the ring, knowing the competitor you are, I reckon I stand more of a chance than you, and I’ve not even debuted. That, whether you like it or not, is very damning towards you.

But, unlike you, I’m not going to take you lightly, and am going to be giving no less that 100% when I step into that ring. I know that if I allow you to overpower me, it’s going to be a very short night for me, and that’s why I am not going to allow that to happen. By mentioning your bodybuilding background, you have basically told me how you are going to compete this match, so I’m going to live by one adage.

You can’t kill, what you can’t catch

Because there is no true way to how a wrestler should look Freddy, and I think my brother, who you hold with obvious disdain, proved that more than I ever could. He was probably the smallest guy on the roster but became the youngest two-time World Champion of all time. Did he look like your ideal competitor? The facts are mate, you live in a fantasy world, a bygone era that has passed you by. Yes, you probably would have been a success back in 1985 when your mentor was in his forties… another joke, but now, it takes MUCH more than just power. And the fact that I, the debutant, am preaching that to you isn’t disrespect. It’s because I was born in this business. You say that none of your family have been in the business as if that’s a good thing, and yet I have generational experience on my side. Athletes in this business now look after themselves better than ever, THAT is the primary reason why women compete on the level playing field. Everything you claim, even the nepo baby bullshit, it’s far from an hinderance. In fact, it’s my greatest strength.

So, if you feel sick now having to face me, I can’t imagine how you are going to feel when you lose. But truthfully, I reckon right now, you are the only one that will be surprised. Usually, I’d be earmarked for a defeat on my opening match, because that’s how it should be, a learning curve. I’m going to be getting plaudits for winning my opening match, but I won’t have earned them, not really. Not because of my performance, but because of you. The guy who already believes he’s won this match, and knows exactly who I am.

But doesn’t have the first clue

No one forced me to be her Freddy, I’m here to be a part of something special with my family. I’m here to be a part of a Legacy that when we are gone, will never be forgotten by this industry, in comparison with yourself who seems to have been forgotten already. Like I told you in the beginning, I don’t need words to make my point. I’m happy to make people understand in the ring. I’m going to show you, and everyone else who might think it, that I’m not Orlando, Shaun or Owen. I’m Bekah. I’m the new girl in town, ready to make good on MY name, and establish myself as part of something amazing. I chose SCW, because the best in the world is a part of this company. If you want to be absolute, this is the place to do it.

Laugh it up, play the big MAN, none of that was ever my concern.

Now sit down and know your place… as I embarrass you in front of the eyes of the world. And show everyone what a pathetic little boy you truly are. Frederico... you don't know me.

Bye guys, see you soon.”

(The stream is cut, and Debbie puts her phone down.)

Debbie: You meant that didn’t you?

Bekah: Every word.

Debbie: He won’t be the only one that says that you know

Bekah: Yeah, I know. But with what we have planned, they will soon have something else to talk about, and I will be the least of their concerns

Debbie: Ohh, spill the tea.

(Bekah laughs)

Bekah: You’ll see…
