REC:
“It’s been the story of two tales in 2018. Looking back at what I have accomplished, the first half leading into Rise to Greatness XV was a moment I will never forget. In 2015 I vowed after I lost the World Championship that I would be back stronger than ever and one day, make it to the top one more time and win on the grandest stage of them all, I did that and since then?
I have watched myself plummet in every aspect there is of wrestling almost becoming a non-factor until recently. I have learned in my journey honey that no matter what I do, whether I battle an entire Network, Factory or Fantasy, the odds will always favor them. A feeling that is both sinking and frustrating is when you claw, scratch and punch your way out of a fight so much that no matter how hard you make a stance, it’s simply not enough.
That was Bound By Blood.
Now, we can talk about all kinds of different factors, what happened to our teammates, where Trinity and I ended up facing four of the toughest in wrestling and one on the outside, we almost made it, my sister and I fighting side by side was a dream come true, I was so damn proud of her and she was so damn proud of me and yet in the end, we still lost the battle….
But never the war.
I wanted to give up, walk away, leave with the little bit of dignity I had left. Maybe some don’t feel that way, know that I have fought my way through so many different challenges posed to me from the defamation of my character thanks to Syren and Ravyn to the Wonderland, I stood on my own, then with Trinity and we continued to push forward and then I realized…
I can’t give up honey, I would be quitting on all of you.
I’m a World Champion wrestler, a member of the Street Family, a Sexy Flawless Diva, the best at what I do and to have taken a backseat to Sienna Swann who rightfully so has proven she is a fighting World Champion and the Female Wrestler of the Year doesn’t make the sting feel any different, instead it makes me want to get back to that point even know and prove what I already know that I can beat her in the very ring that for the first part of the 2018 campaign I controlled, I overcame and most of all I led the charge for all of SCW which now falls on some pretty dark times thanks to Katya who has been brainwashed by three disgusting individuals who will stop at nothing to get the World Title around Syren’s waist?
Sorry honey, there is one X-Factor, that’s me and you see, I’m not alone.
I have Trinity, my family and friends, most of all my fans. Put me up against Chris Cannon and Owen Cruze, it won’t change anything because when it’s over?
I’ll still come at you as the Sexy Flawless Diva!”

NEW FLAWLESS BEGINNINGS
PROLOGUE: FOR ALL ACQUAINTANCE BE FORGOT…..
It was important for Trinity and me to end the Year on a positive note. The taste of Bound by Blood was still sitting bitter in our mouth, we worked so hard and failed not only our fans but ourselves because at the end of the day, we are better than them, I firmly believe that. After Rise to Greatness XV, things became much harder to accomplish, taking two pin falls to Sienna didn’t help, it distanced me from the World Championship and taught me a cold, hard fact, I became way too comfortable and when the title was taken? I then became too careless out of desperation. It didn’t end there, another to Paris Truelove after the fight Trinity and I put up against four wrestlers including LEO on the outside which I let distract me. I’m not going to make excuses, I’m smarter than that, I wasn’t a two-time World Champion, had one of the longest Television Title runs and three-time tag team champion being stupid, honey.
Hurt, bleeding, it didn’t matter, we didn’t get the job done.
It was actually embarrassing in a way, Paris took advantage of a situation, of course all she did was talk about how she pinned Kennedy Street, a former World Champion and wanted to rub it in, so the End of the Year show was a welcome, a chance to wrong a right with Trinity, make things known that while I stumbled out of the gates in September, the last match of the year would end in us being victorious. It wasn’t about shopping for a new dress to ring in 2019, it was too cold in Toronto for that. I was excited to be with my sister, we traveled everywhere together, along with Jon Knots, I felt like I was always with family….
But first was first….
Shutting up the Truelove Twins.
SCW End of the Year Special
12.31.18
We fought our asses off, again LEO had become a factor, we were on first which was important that we set the pace for the rest of the show. I knew Laura would be more concerned with Sienna Swann defending the title against Marie Jones, Sienna was her focus and why would she worry about us, the Beauty Factory has had our number. There were two battles going on, the other was Katya and Dark Fantasy, Trinity and I wanted to take one from the Factory and get some points on our scoreboard and we did, I must admit, it felt good kicking Paris in the face. The Battle Royal was going on, Trinity and I were still in our wrestling gear, never thought we would have matching colors, black and gold was our chosen. She sat on the bench untying her boots, my eyes were focused on the Battle Royal, thinking about everything that went wrong for me this past year and it really was only in the second half…
Trinity: “The kid has it.”
Kennedy: “Yeah he does.”
There was no doubt that Owen Cruze was going to be a star, no way he wasn’t. What had me in a flux was the other guy behind the mask, he wrestled like David Helms. I didn’t say anything though, he and Trinity had started to become good friends again, I rather she figure it out herself….
Trinity: “If that isn’t David Helms behind that mask, trying to fool us all.”
Like I was saying….
Kennedy: “Is it?”
Trinity: “Yeah… it is love. How’s your head, I know you took a pretty bad fall.”
Kennedy: “I’m fine. Never better, I guess winning numbs the pain.”
Trinity: “Kennedy, listen… I….”
I turned to her because I knew the next words coming out of her mouth were going to be ones that would put me in a foul mood. My sister has a tendency of taking all of the blame, it happened at Bound by Blood and what she never sees and tries to hide is that WE are int his together, WE triumph and fail TOGETHER even if I too have fallen into the self-loathing to a point it makes me break out in a rash and make my feet and palms sweat….
So gross….
Kennedy: “…. Lexi…. Don’t, you did this at Bound by Blood.”
Trinity: “You know why.”
Trying to concentrate on the battle royal, I couldn’t help but think back to the moment where I think everything changed for us as sisters. It was a night we didn’t win, fought until the bitter end but when Bound by Blood ended for Lexi and I….
We became stronger as sisters.
Bound By Blood
11.25.18
It was a tough night for both of us, we knew just how far we came as a duo. A year ago, I was on thin ice with my sister, we had a broken relationship that I had a hand in rupturing, honey. Breaking up her marriage with Simon Lyman was pretty low, never thinking that we would ever have a chance at a relationship again and when my sister reached out to me, when she could see what I was trying to do with my life and career, Trinity gave me the benefit of the doubt which she never needed to at all and yet, she did. When my sister and I teamed up with each other against Har Megiddo, we were triumphant but attacked afterwards by The Truelove Twins and the Network. They ruined our moment and so we were going to ruin theirs….
Oh, so we thought. I had a bad feeling about how we were walking into this match, with the Regan and Dylan Howell controversy on who was going to be on our team, the arguments and not being on the same page, it led to Lexi and I standing against practically their entire team….
And it didn’t end like we wanted.
I bled so much, I was tired, felt sick, weak and most of all defeated. Sitting in the back, my hair is soaked in blood, they wanted to see me, the medical staff was ready to close up the wound and move on….
I wasn’t.
Trinity and I were still in our wrestling gear, mine was stained in blood.
Trinity: “Medical needs to take a look at that.”
Kennedy: “I feel a little sick.”
Trinity: “Let’s get the trainers to look at it, Kennedy, please?”
Kennedy: “What happened out there…. I let LEO get to me, I tried Lexi…. Damn it I tried, and it seems like it’s not good enough. I was a World Champion just a few months ago. A few months ago and look where I am now. We fought so hard…. And it wasn’t good enough. I can beat Paris, I should have beaten Paris.”
Trinity: “It was us against them, Kennie. I am so proud of you. We fought our asses off and that’s all I could ask of anyone. I left you alone, I made the mistake and Xander took advantage. If anyone failed, you it was me. We took that whole team on basically, just you and me, backs to the wall and there was no one there that was going to stop us until I dropped the ball. Don’t you dare blame yourself for this little sister. Now, let’s get a trainer to check it out.”
She was concerned about me, I also saw how angry and disappointed she was. My sister didn’t mince words, she wasn’t going to sugarcoat anything. I can see it in her eyes the only thought running through her mind was that of Regan and some of the decisions made for our team without our input. She grabbed my hand….
Trinity: “I won’t make excuses, but we were hurt, two of us against four plus that wanker outside. They were huge odds and we went ahead and made the best of it. Damn it, Kennedy you and I didn’t go down without a fight.”
Kennedy: “Does it matter? We lost, Trinity. We may have wrestled until the bitter end but for what? We still lost and no matter what anyone says, the record books will show differently. It wasn’t your fault, remember that, I took my eye off the prize, I screwed up and I will fix this.”
Trinity: “No, we will….”
Just then the door open, Donovan Kayl and Chris Cannon walked in. I knew this was not going to go well over with the way Trinity felt. We were left alone, Chris at least was able to take out Ikiro Yoshida but that was small consolation for what had happened the rest of the match….
Chris: “We need to get her checked out.”
Trinity: “I have a handle on this, thanks.”
Donovan: “Trinity….”
Trinity: “Don’t you think it’s been enough tonight? I’m not going to harp on the past or even now, I think we rather just have our time alone, we need a little time.”
Donovan: “We understand, Chris and I wanted to tell you how amazing you two were out there tonight.”
My sister was going to take that as patronizing. The last thing she wanted to hear was how amazing we were and frankly so did I….
Trinity: “Amazing? So amazing we walked out with our tail between our legs? So amazing that Max Kane had to come out and run them off While Kennedy and I both were laid out, my sister bleeding like a stuck pig? No, we were not amazing, we tried to survive in a game that was practically unwinnable all from the result we were obviously not on the same page. Damn it, we had them, we fucking had those bloody cunts and WE let HER down, WE!”
Donovan: “We know, don’t you see that understand?”
Chris: “Don’t you think we feel the same way, love?”
Trinity: “Same way? Chris, with all due respect, you weren’t left out there practically against the whole fucking team, sunshine! You know what, I don’t even care about us to be honest, I care about HER! Hasn’t she been through enough!? Twice to Sienna Swann, constantly being attacked and barraged by the Beauty Factory and The Network and now she can’t even get a sense of revenge!? Not even an inkling of some sort of satisfaction because WE dropped the fucking ball!?”
Kennedy: “Lexi….”
Trinity: “No, Kennedy I have this!”
Kennedy: “Lexi…. Stop.”
Trinity: “No, it’s not fair to you, this was NOT supposed be this way, we should have had her on our team! We should not have been put in that predicament. It was us that did this, Kennedy you fought your ass off…..”
Kennedy: “And so did ALL of you, honey! We can’t finger point here. We all could have done better, I should have done better, and I failed miserably. We can’t fight amongst ourselves, it’s the reason we lost in the first place.”
The person who was really to blame was me. I made the mistake at the end and if I said that now, they would just smother me with sympathy and right now I don’t need that. I tried to stand up, felt a bit woozy and almost fell on my face before Donovan and Chris grabbed a hold of me. There was no way anyone was going to carry me to the trainers’ room, gently pushing them off, Trinity grabbed my arm and started to lead me out, I could see her staring back at Donovan and Chris, she was not happy….
And I didn’t blame her one bit.
Chris: “Let us help you.”
Trinity: “No, you’ve done enough tonight.”
There was no point in fighting her emotion, I didn’t have the strength in me to do so, instead I just let Trinity take me to the trainer’s room, I wanted this night over…..
SCW End of the Year Special
12.31.18
Hoping that my silence would deter her from saying anything, I should have known better from my sister. She gave me that stare, I just simply focused on the screen where Owen Cruze had just won the Battle Royal. I knew that I was going to face him next, Katya wanted to pit me the allies against one another…
Bitch.
Kennedy: “He won.”
Trinity: “You’re deflecting.
Kennedy: “Am I? I don’t want to hear it anymore honey. Bound By Blood, I will use it as a constant reminder, which is why we won tonight and that is where I rather concentrate on now. We shut up the Twins, we took one from them. It may not be the war, but the battle was ours. We have New Year’s coming up, I may not be in the best of moods because the last four months of my year have been tough, but I did get my sister back and as my tag team partner, isn’t it good enough?”
Trinity: “It’s the best decision I made, and I would go and lose a hundred times over like we did against the Beauty Network long as it was by your side.”
Kennedy: “I’m not a little kid anymore. You don’t have to defend me or take blame when something goes wrong. Out there we are sisters, whatever happens its us and tonight we WERE the Street Legacy. We were NOT going to lose. Honestly, I’m not even worried about the Beauty Factory. When we get our chance again, we’ll take it every single time. They had their one win and Sienna had my number, not anymore. There are other things more pressing to worry about now, sis.”
I had to walk away from the screen as Owen was getting his cash and new car. Trinity watched and smirked, she knew exactly what I was talking about….
Trinity: “I remember when I won that Battle Royal, they gave me a Corvette. He’s on cloud 9 right now you know? He’s beaten some of the best, the kid is on fire.”
I stopped and turned to look at Trinity, I knew exactly what she was trying to do….
Kennedy: “Yeah, he is.”
As I walked away, I could see Trinity staring up at the TV, her eyes were narrowing which means she was thinking about a lot of things. I had only one thought in my mind, I wasn’t going to lose again, not to anyone even if that included my family, friends and allies.
It was time to ring in the New Year.
LIGHTS, CAMERA, FLAWLESS!
Over the holiday break and leading into Bound By Blood, I was toying with the notion of going to Hollywood, honey. It was a venture I always wanted. I did film a silly Christmas movie once with Katelyn Buehler, it was pretty bad and more as a favor than anything, I thought I was going to be this huge actor walking the red carpet and thinking I would be the most talked about Diva on fashion Police on how Flawless I looked. Okay, so maybe I was pushing it just a little honey but give me a break, Kennedy Street could be the next Meryl Streep, right?
Just agree with me.
I really hadn’t discussed it with Jonny and Sonia, I kept the whole idea under wraps. While staying at Trinity’s during the fires after we were evacuated from Malibu, she found out about the contract, following me, concerned because of my state of mind and I can’t blame her, I was pretty upset about a lot of things and how my career seemed to be crumbling though her and I had scored some pretty big wins, the fact remained, we were beat up, heading into Bound by Blood there were questionable decisions on our team and the participants, too many distractions for my taste. I know that Trinity doesn’t have a lot of time left, honey in the ring. It’s not because she can’t wrestle anymore or is too old, my sister is 36, priorities, the same ones that I now deal with too when I have a twelve-year-old sitting at home, ready to turn thirteen soon. Our children make a huge difference in our lives.
That is Trinity’s dilemma and one day soon it will become mine.
So, I need to prepare for that future, I won’t be wrestling forever, I want to still be able to provide for my family and be a role model to young women out there especially my daughter and niece. I should have said something to Trinity and my family, I was scared, indecisive in my decisions, can you blame me when that passion for wrestling still burns inside of me and I know I can climb back up that mountain one more time and go out on my own terms?
After Bound by Blood, I took a bit of a sabbatical from Social Media, I blamed myself for failing and rightfully so and went ahead with the next chapter of my life.
Paramount Studios
Burbank, CA.
One Week Ago
It was nerve racking; all eyes were on me to succeed and make this show succeed as it was all about ratings. I didn’t know what to do per say, no formal training, it’s not like I was some actor or anything, okay let me rephrase that, I am actually very good at acting in front of a camera when I want something, maybe that is what I should do. I played a character named Carmella, a woman that was behind the murder of her father but set her brother up….
I know honey, I’m a bitch.
Janice: “Stop with the lies, Priscilla! Your father was on to you! He was not going to leave you any of the family fortune, so you had him accidentally killed!”
I felt sexy in this one-piece black dress, my nails all done up red, my make-up was that of an evil vixen. I felt powerful, strong, entitled, I mean I feel like this quite a lot honey or at least pretend to. I was a bit out of my element, that wasn’t going to stop me though from at least trying this. Janice was a young actress named Suzy Doyle, she was pretty and really good, it was hard to keep up….
Priscilla: “Please…. You have no idea what you are talking about, don’t be so ludicrous, Janice, it doesn’t suit you.”
Janice: “Suit me? Priscilla, look me right in the face and tell me that I am lying! When Robert finds out about this, he is going to make sure that you go to jail for a very long time!”
Priscilla: “Robert? He is the one that had everything to gain and nothing to lose with dad dying, how can you stand there and defend him!? I am the innocent one here and when Jackson broke up with me to go off with that Belly Dancer….”
Janice: “Jasmine.”
Priscilla: “Thank you, Jasmine, how original, I was left with nothing! Do you hear me, nothing!”
Janice: “What about Bryce? Randolf? Tyler? Glenn!? You did the same thing to all of them and left them for money, yes money! You cheated on Bryce with Tyler, Randolf with Glenn, you are a whore!”
This was the part that my jaw was supposed to drop, then I was to take my stiletto off and hit her on the top of the head, sticking to her head and killing her by mistake, I go to take my shoe off and strike her, she like falls and then I hear it….
CUT!
I turn around and look at Jorgen Rand, the director, he hops out of his chair, he’s really nice but also very Hollywood. I see him approaching me as I take off my other heel….
Jorgen: “Kennie! Can I call you Kennie!?”
Kennedy: “Of course.”
Jorgen: “Kennie, boobsie, beautiful gorgeous, you are the sunshine of my life right now. You are perfect for this role, I mean you have it all, this evil looking minx, diva-esque, just Black Widow type who is ready to take on the world and destroy her entire family. I mean, in real life I would never expect for you to understand that, trying to break apart your entire family for self-gain which is why I need you to get entrenched into this part, actually believe that you are capable of doing these dastardly deeds, most great actors become the character, you do the same, make it yours, own it Kennie. Look at this body, this face. Head to toe, you are a villainess. The center of attention. Look at Janice, I want to see the hate flowing in your eyes, when you take off that heel, give me a scream, a grunt, make it sound like you hate her guts.”
Kennedy: “Hate her guts.”
Jorgen: “I doubt you have very many people you dislike, you’re a doll so just think of a very bad moment in your life and how you would love to go back and slam it with your heel.”
Oh, I can think of plenty who deserve a heel in the skull, honey. I just smile and agree to everything that he says, no matter what it is. I’m learning at this but if he wants me to go full Bitchy Kennie mode, I can oblige. As I go to grab my heel, Suzy hands it to me and smiles….
Suzy: “You may need this for the retake. I personally thought you were awesome out there, you have a knack for this. Jorgen is the kind of director that almost likes to see overreacting, you’re okay if that is the route you take.”
Kennedy: “Thanks honey, I appreciate the advice. I hope I’m doing the character justice.”
Suzy: “You’re a natural, you were born to do this Kennedy Street, I just hope you stick with it.”
Kennedy: “Thanks, that means a lot honey.”
Jorgen: “Okay, everyone, let’s get this back on track, quiet on the set! Alright. Action!”
It was time to do the latter part of the scene again, this time I wasn’t going to hold back, honey. I tapped into my inner Keenie, trying to become the character just this one time….
Priscilla: “Thank you, Jasmine, how original, I was left with nothing! Do you hear me, nothing!”
Janice: “What about Bryce? Randolf? Tyler? Glenn!? You did the same thing to all of them and left them for money, yes money! You cheated on Bryce with Tyler, Randolf with Glenn, you are a whore!”
Priscilla: “Whore!? I’ll show you whore!”
Yeah, I did a little ad lib, taking off my heel I yelled and slapped it over her head making it look as violent and vicious as I could. Suzy played it off perfectly, she fell on the ground, I took my other heel off and threw it on her chest, screaming at her when Bryce walked in played by Marcus Hall, he was soooo dreamy…..
Bryce: “Janice!? Priscilla, what the hell have you done!?”
Priscilla: “I…. I ….. I didn’t do anything, it was self-defense, I swear Bryce, I would never do anything to hurt anyone!”
Bryce: “Janice!?”
He checked her pulse, looking back at me so flawlessly, his facial expressions said it all, I even felt the emotion generating from him….
Bryce: “She’s DEAD!”
That’s when I hear…..
Jorgen: “And CUT! Okay that’s a wrap for today, Kennie, that was fantastic sweetheart! You really brought it out of the character. Those screams, grunts, that was tapping into your inner villain! You are going to be a star. I’ll see you tomorrow to wrap it up.”
Kennedy: “Thank you Jorgen, see you tomorrow.”
As he left, Suzy high fived me, Marcus smirked and kissed me on each cheek, I guess that’s the Hollywood way, maybe not, he didn’t grab my ass. I smiled and walked toward the dressing room, there I saw Jordan Mills, the Casting Director and woman who “discovered” me. She was standing there, looking beautiful as ever, she should be in front of the camera….
Jordan: “Hey Kennedy.”
Kennedy: “Hey Jordan.”
Jordan: “Looks like it went well today.”
Kennedy: “I think so, I memorized my lines well, executed, I’m really happy with how today turned out, couldn’t have been better.”
Jordan: “That is so awesome to hear. I wanted to come by and say how much I appreciated you getting in contact with me after your PPV in November, you made the right decision to at least explore your options and do this part time, you will find it rather rewarding.”
Kennedy: “I already do.”
Jordan: “And your family?”
Kennedy: “They are adjusting, some might not agree with my decision but in the end it’s my decision. So far, so good, it’s not like I’m retiring from wrestling.”
Jordan: “Of course. Well, anyway I am glad that you are aboard. I have quite a few jobs lined up for you Kennedy, we can talk after this one is done if you are interested.”
Really, I’m super excited!
Kennedy: “That would be great, Jordan thank you so much, honey.”
Jordan: “Hey, anytime it’s my job. You have a guest by the way, Kelcey, your cousin? She’s here. I was working with her on a commercial for her Parkinson’s Charity. She found out that you were here filming a TV Show. She’s out in the soundstage.”
Kennedy: “Thanks Jordan. I’ll see you tomorrow.”
Jordan: “Of course, take care.”
Kennedy: “You too honey.”
I really like Jordan, she’s honest and true. It was dumb luck running into her while shopping for a house out here, to me it was one of those situations that I just happened to stumble upon. It was nice to know that Kelcey was staying active and doing some great things for a good cause, really proud of her. I could see her leaning against the wall texting, her bump was starting to show but Kelcey always knew how to dress, she could make pregnant into a fashion trend…..
Kennedy: “Hey!”
Kelcey: “Hey you, Jordan told me you were here, coincidence, right!?”
Kennedy: “I know, who would have thought. So, you’re making some commercials?”
Kelcey: “I am, finally getting my foundation off the ground and am really proud of the work we’ve been doing. So, she told me you’re on the set of Deceitful Tendencies? Ver since I retired, I watch that show all the time, can’t wait to see you there.”
Kennedy: “Acting is crazy, fun but in such an artistic way. It’s scary because I could see myself doing this full-time honey. I know how terrible that sounds but really, I could.”
Kelcey: “We all need to step out of the ring sometime. You’ve been doing this for ten years straight nonstop, you’ve never taken a break from the ring except to heal a few minor injuries. It’s okay if you want to do this especially with how the SCW is running these days.”
She wasn’t lying, it was one of the reasons I took on this endeavor, to get a little break from the SCW and the bullshit of Katya and Dark Fantasy. I know she was feeling the pressure, hearing what that little disrespectful brat had to say about her. It was out of line. I could tell though that when mentioning SCW something was bothering Kelcey…..
Kennedy: “I know. I’m glad that you didn’t let the things Katya say get to you.”
Kelcey: “No, I didn’t but I do see what she is doing to you Owen (Cruze) and Chris (Cannon). I don’t like it, Kennedy.”
Kennedy: “I don’t either but it’s a match.”
Kelcey: “Come on Kennie, it’s not a match, it is nothing more than a setup. After Bound by Blood, I know that the relationship between you and Chris is a little strained, he doesn’t want this. I know that Own is young, he doesn’t get it yet, he’s just a kid, you do. You understand that Katya is using Owen, he is so determined to succeed, he doesn’t see the underlining truth behind this match. She is trying to pit allies against allies.”
Kennedy: “I know but Kelcey, I don’t need to tell you that my back is to the wall right now, honey. I haven’t exactly been lighting up the boards, the kids’ stock is through the roof, he beat Selena Frost. He won the Battle Royal and Chris? He wants to prove to you that he can win a World Championship that his quest for you to be proud of him outweighs even Owen’s desire but what about me? I have a World Title match still left in my back pocket, but have I earned it? Katya can play her games, the fact remains, if I lose this match, she could use it against me and my title shot. I can’t let her get away with it.”
Kelcey: “What are you saying?”
She knew what I was saying, Kelcey wanted to hear it come out of my mouth, but I didn’t want to. Instead, I just smiled and changed the subject, it was the only way to avoid the topic and not be at odds….
Kennedy: “How far are you along, honey?”
Kelcey: “Don’t change the subject, love.”
Kennedy: “Kelcey, is it a boy? Girl?”
Kelcey: “It’s a girl and I’m in my second trimester. Kennedy, I’m not trying to put a damper on anything or tell you how to wrestle or even approach this match, all I am saying is be aware as to why this is happening in the first place. Katya is trying to sever the ties you three have.”
Kennedy: “I know but like I said, my back is to the wall and if I don’t fight, I allow someone like Owen or your husband take my spot, then where does that leave me? Outside looking in? I love you Kelcey, I think that in the last few years our relationship has grown stronger than ever but honey, you damn well know that I’m going into that match to win no matter what Katya’s plan is.”
Kelcey: “You are too hard on yourself.”
Kennedy: “No, I’m not hard enough on myself. I have to go; Can I buy you a coffee or something on the way out?”
Kelcey: “Sure, a coffee would be nice.”
Kennedy: “Good, come on honey and you can tell me about your fashion secrets because obviously I need to learn from you.”
At least I made her laugh though I could see that deep down inside, she was disturbed by the revelation of my attitude toward this match with Chris and Owen. I love them both to death and respect the hell out of those two, that doesn’t mean I’m not a competitor first. Kelcey is close to Owen, she has helped mentor him, I get it…..
And at this point I don’t care.
A Few Hours Later
Burbank, CA.
We had finally moved into our new home less than a month ago. I must admit, Jonny impressed me in his unpacking skills, I never thought this place would all be unpacked especially with everything that I have including my 3000 pairs of shoes. It’s not a very big collection, I have kept it to a minimum. After a long day, I picked up some Chinese, changed into some shorts and a tank top, I sat on the couch facing the TV, my eyes were heavy, a glass of wine in hand while Sonia was doing her homework as she went back to school early…..
Sonia: “How did it go, mom?”
I still can’t get used to her calling me that. I almost want to buy a minivan and put a soccer ball sticker on the window….
Kennedy: “I had a lot of fun. I think I’m going to like it but sorry, honey you can’t watch it.”
Sonia: “Why? Are you naked in it.”
Kennedy: “Sonia! No, I’m not naked in it, it’s just a little violent for my taste and I don’t want you seeing something like that. You are too young.”
Sonia: “I’m thirteen.”
Kennedy: “Yeah and that scares me. I remember when I was thirteen. Can you just please accept it and when you are older, and I feel comfortable showing you then I will, I promise. Until then, do your homework, impress me at school and we’ll see.”
Sonia: “Really? So, are you going to quit wrestling?”
That question was eventually coming and right now the answer is no though that could change….
Sonia: “So, are you?”
Kennedy: “No, not right now. Maybe one day down the road I will be right now, I’m not. I have a lot to accomplish and I can’t just walk away from the SCW at a time like this though its tempting because I like what I’m doing, I had a good day.”
Jonathan (Knots) walked in, he had been in the shower, sitting next to me, rubbing my back, it felt good. Sonia I could see smiling, she grabbed her iPad and headed to her room….
Kennedy: “Where are you going?”
Sonia: “To my room, I can see you two need some time alone.”
Kennedy: “It’s not like that….”
Knots: “Yeah it is like that.”
Kennedy: “Oh stop.”
Knots: “Run Sonia, run.”
Jonny at times can be such an ass. Sonia laughed and walked into her room, leaving Jonny and I alone. He was concerned about me and at the same time he supported anything that I did. I sat there not saying a word, instead sipping my wine….
Knots: “You liked it, huh?”
Kennedy: “I did.”
Knots: “About Breakdown…..”
Kennedy: “Nothing to talk about. Katya made her booking, they think that we are not going to fight each other or even entertain it. Her booking was an albatross…. And a blessing in disguise.”
Knots: “Really? I’m surprised you say that, why?”
Kennedy: “Because I’m tired of being nice, honey. I obviously need to take charge of my career.”
Taking a sip of my wine, my eyes slowly glared over at Jonny who looked at me surprised that I had even said that. I don’t think he truly understood my stance in this match and moving forward. I’m not going to change who I am and what I believe in, I worked too hard to get there, instead I’ll make my stance and remind everyone just who the hell is the Sexy Flawless Diva….
That would be me.
I stand up and lean in, kissing my husband before heading back to the kitchen for another glass of wine reminding myself that at any moment, just like after RTG XV, anyone at anytime can take what I have and neither Chris Cannon or Owen Cruze will do that….
It’s a promise that I have made to myself and the people that believe in me.
Knots: “Kennie?”
Kennedy: “Yes honey?”
Knots: “It’s about time.”
Turning to him I smile and pour myself a glass of wine. Having his support alone is all I need. Long as my family understands my actions and knows why I do what I do for them, it’s all which counts. I’m never going to compromise my integrity for someone like Katya, she can do whatever she thinks is right for Dark Fantasy. I took the World Championship once?
I’ll do it again.
And if I must go through two of my friends?
Then so be it, honey.
EPILOGUE: REUNITED
If I were to think at what point did my path at the top start falling apart, I would have to say that it was during the whole Megan and Bella incident. I wasn’t exactly honest with Megan when I lost the world championship to Sienna while she was getting her operation that saved her life, thanks to Blake Mason who helped me with the contacts and finances. When Bella found out about how me and her father, George Malone met, originally we had lied to her, there was no need for her and Megan to know that he tried to blackmail me with racy videos I made a while ago for personal use that somehow leaked and could have ruined my SCW career for sure and seeing my daughter get a hold of them would have destroyed me, George did me the favor of destroying them just like I helped him out….
It all worked out or, so I thought, honey.
After George had a problem with his conscience which in many ways, I can’t blame him, I felt bad too, I just felt like it was a better option for all involved, Bella ended up being upset with me for deceiving her and Megan. At first, I was angry, disappointed and really didn’t understand why the fuss and after time I saw why, and she was right….
I was wrong and with it, I lost a lot of confidence, I stopped fighting for the things I believed in and instead was so afraid to lose what I had such a light grip on that it never donned on me to just trust in myself, the decisions and most of all?
The Human Spirit.
Megan gave me something that I didn’t realize I had, support, love, the people who looked up to me as their hero? Or even a role model and now thinking I failed little girls like her have hurt me deep within and I don’t ever open up about it. Maybe it’s time I should.
Parents Home
Beverly Hills, CA.
1.5.19
I try to visit my parents at least once a week if I am in town, take Sonia so that she too could can continue building on the relationship that I want her to have. Since she’s been back after leaving with Damian, it’s been like night and day with her, so many issues that seem to relatively disappear. I won’t ask questions, I just like the results. We had a good Christmas, it was another of many. Jonny was with us, he was outside with her and my dad sitting down, talking, about what who knows. I sat in the kitchen with my mother, she had her legit concerns like Trinity did about a few personal things….
Mainly Regan and Mikaela.
Madeleine: “It seems like Sonia has really adjusted, maybe letting her father take her was the best thing for her. I never thought that young girl was ever going to see the light.”
Kennedy: “everything worked out for the best. We are all happy now and that’s what counts.”
Madeleine: “You’re not happy.”
Kennedy: “Excuse me?”
Madeleine: “I’m not talking about your marriage or family Kennedy, I’m talking about you.”
Kennedy: “I’m fine. I have a few bumps on the road that I must handle, nothing I have never done before. I need to focus on what’s important, really see things through and get a handle on everything. My career is not where it wants to be. I can’t complain though, I reached the plateau I wanted, accomplished my goals for 2018, just didn’t do much after that and it was my fault.”
My mother had become a lot more involved in my career lately, I didn’t understand why. Some of it was probably due to Trinity joining me, she was happy that we as sister were getting along again and doing our thing. My mom always had a funny way of showing her happiness, it came out as concern, too much if you ask me, honey but no one is….
Madeleine: “You are too hard on yourself. Lexi is trying, she is the same, always too hard on herself as well. I wish you two would just feed off each other’s energy and leave it at that.”
Kennedy: “We are. Just because I’m not happy where I’m at wrestling wise doesn’t mean we are not successful, look at New Year’s Eve.”
Madeleine: “I know but I’m pretty sure this acting gig you have going has something to do with the decision to go through with it when Lexi asked you not to.”
Kennedy: “It wasn’t Lexi’s choice, it was mine.”
Madeleine: “What about Regan and Mikaela?”
That was a topic of conversation I try to avoid. Regan is her own woman and the day she decides to side with the family without the “I told you so” tagline behind it will be the moment the Street family is completely united in the sport. I love Regan, she’s my cousin and at one time we were close, not as close as her and Trinity but enough to have respect though in wrestling we have both done some pretty awful things to one another….
Kennedy: “Regan and Mikaela are doing their thing.”
Madeleine: “They are good girls. They had a bad upbringing. You know that.”
Kennedy: “I do, it doesn’t change anything though, mom. It’s what they do with it that matters. I get what has happened with them, I hope that they do find peace, I think there is some issues going on with them personally, I don’t know but I’m going to the right sources to ask.”
Madeleine: “Right sources? You mean Amy Chastaine?”
Kennedy: “That’s exactly who I meant.”
My mother wasn’t a fan of Amy, I don’t know what it was that bothered her about Amy but every time her name was mentioned, she gave me a dirty look. My mom wants a united family, she sympathizes with Regan and Mikaela thanks to my uncle Davidson and aunt Giselle who really were the parents of the century, honey….
We were about to continue talking when the doorbell rang, I didn’t know that my mother was expecting company….
Kennedy: “You have company coming over?”
Madeleine: “I did, I invited an old friend of yours and mine, so excited to see her.”
Kennedy: “Her?”
Wo was she talking about? When my mom opened the door, I could hear the greeting, the voice, it sounded familiar, distinct, no one talked like this woman and suddenly I could feel my toes curling thinking to myself, why would my mother invite this woman. I turned and looked as she came around the corner of the hallway holding a child in her hand, my mother that was, behind her was a woman in jeans and a floral blouse, my eyes almost bugged out of my sockets, I needed to play nice….
Madeleine: “Remember Taylor (Chase)? Have you seen Sebastian, yet?”
Kennedy: “I have not.”
Madeleine: “I have been trying to get this girl over here for so long, I’m so glad that you came.”
Taylor: “Thank you for inviting me over. Kennedy! So good to see you.”
She came up to me and gave a big hug like we had been besties for years. Taylor and I have not seen eye to eye in a long time, I didn’t know the reason behind the invite, but my mother doesn’t do things without a reason….
Madeleine: “Broderick is such a great friend of us, he and Vandemeer always have a tee time together, I was just hoping you two could catch up, it has been such a long time and to see you two together again just makes me so happy. Your son is beautiful and how ironic, Kennedy is facing your step son next week.”
Taylor: “I know, coincidence, right?”
I don’t think so, honey….
Madeleine: “You two need to catch up, I’m going to show Sebastian around and then I’ll make us all some warm tea.”
My mother was sneaky, I didn’t know that she had this in her. Walking away with Sebastian put me in a bit of an awkward situation, I sat there with Taylor Chase of all people staring at me with a smile on her face….
Kennedy: “Okay, I wasn’t expecting this.”
Taylor: “I know you were not. I feel like you think maybe there was a blindside here, your mother reached out to me, you know that I have always considered her like the mom I never really had so of course, she is like a grandma to Sebastian and I need to have people like her in his life, I hope you do not mind.”
Kennedy: “Is it about your kid though, Taylor? Or is it about something more?”
Taylor: “You know that I have always loved and cared about you and Trinity, Kennedy. Your sister and my dad are like best friends, she mentored and trained me, I have always had a close connection with the Streets…..”
Kennedy: “That was a long time ago.”
Taylor: “Not that long, Kennedy.”
Kennedy: “Okay, so I see you are getting pretty comfortable with Blake Mason lately, what happened to Scott Cannon.”
Taylor: “Things change. Blake is a good guy, he;s made his mistakes like we all have. I know what he did for you and that kid up in Indiana, you need to give him some credit, just like at one time, you used to believe in me.”
Oh Blake, I’m going to slap you hard honey….
Kennedy: “Until you tried to frame Shaun Cruze? Destroy Kelcey’s life who was your best friend? Taylor, what you’ve done isn’t exactly screaming with warmth and family values honey. You tried to end Owen’s career. Come on, you are not fooling anyone honey.”
Taylor: “I’m letting my kid date the daughter of your good friend, that amounts for something. When you went on this road to redemption, did you think anyone was going to give you the benefit of the doubt?”
She was right, I didn’t think anyone would, that wasn’t the point, but I saw what she was trying to make. I was worse than anything she had ever done yet for me, I wasn’t buying the sudden change…
Kennedy: “I didn’t think anyone would, we’re not talking about me though honey, we are talking about you.”
Taylor: “Then let’s talk about you for a moment because you see, I can help.”
Kennedy: “Help?”
Taylor: “Kennedy, you have been struggling. The news through the grapevine is you started doing some TV work, filming some guest appearances on a show. Tell you’re happy with SCW right now?”
Kennedy: “I’m not, I could do a lot better.”
Taylor: “Do you think right now that you’re in a better spot than Owen (Cruze)?”
Kennedy: “No, the kid is in a good position, I mean he doesn’t have a guaranteed World Title match but he’s getting up there, why?”
Taylor: “If he beats you on Breakdown, do you think he won’t be closer to one and people are going to start to forget about Kennedy Street like some have already?”
This bitch had a way with words….
Kennedy: “I have, that doesn’t matter though Taylor. The match was made by a young woman who is being mislead and acting like a brat. She thinks pitting me against Owen and Chris is punishment, eliminating one another, is what it is. How’s the baby?”
Taylor: “Deflection may work on some, doesn’t on me. Look, I love my son, he’s all I have from Orlando and I want nothing but success for him. Do I think things are happening fast? Yes, I do. I also don’t want to see him getting too much and having his head explode which right now I think it’s where he is headed. He’s a good kid but I don’t want to see him become a Main Eventer at your expense, that’s all. As for Chris? We both can agree he should have stayed home with Kelcey, right? Bound By Blood didn’t exactly work out the way you wanted, he was a part of that. Your mom filled me in on a lot of things, she cares about you and so do I. I would hate to see your career fall further and further down where you became an afterthought…..”
Madeleine: “Here we are, back to mommy….”
Taylor: “There’s my baby….”
My mother had impeccable timing, right as I was about to answer and decided to just nod, force a smile and agree with Taylor. In many instances, I was agreeing with Taylor because she was right much as I hate to admit it. My biggest concern was my mother….
Why was she doing this?
All I could do now is play along as Taylor turned to me and smiled, I couldn’t tell if it was genuine or fake and I’m the queen of fake gestures, honey.
One Hour Later
Burbank, CA.
The whole drive home I was quiet, looking out the window and thinking about Kelcey and Taylor’s words in recent days. I didn’t know what to make of it. Kelcey warned me about being to brash, take this match with a grain of salt as there is a bigger evil working here. Taylor on the other hand was telling me not to sleep on this, it was too damn important, or I would see my stock even plummet some more. Owen was on a high right now, he won the Battle Royal, a new car, his confidence was through the roof. Chris was the total opposite but his drive to please Kelcey and show that there were no distractions was his motivator….
What was mine?
Not sinking into the abyss?
The End of the Year was a nice victory, but I needed more, I wanted Dark Fantasy, the Beauty Factory, the Network. It wasn’t over….
Again, I needed MORE.
We pulled into the driveway, stepping out Sonia held my hand when Jonny closed the door behind us, we were ready to step into the house when a car parked across the street came in and pulled behind my car, my head turned, shocked when they stepped out and it was Megan and Bella Malone…
Megan: “Kennedy!”
Kennedy: “Megan!?”
She ran up to me and we embraced, I didn’t expect this, I was in total shock. The last time I saw her was shortly after I lost the World Championship when Bella wanted me to have nothing to do with her daughter after finding out that George tried to blackmail me, I helped her the family out once I found out why and never was completely honest, this was all a surprise and a pleasant one at that…
Kennedy: “Oh my God, honey how are you doing?! What are you doing in California?”
Megan: “Mom wanted to come and see you, a road trip, she said we had never been to California!”
Kennedy: “Well Megan, this is my daughter, Sonia, you two are almost the same age.”
Megan: “Hi Sonia!”
Sonia: “Hi, Megan. Nice to meet you.”
When Sonia and Megan hugged, a feeling took me over like I was both relieved and so happy that my knees became weak. I didn’t know what to expect, certainly not this. I saw Bella look toward Jonny who nodded and smiled, he’d never met her before which means they had contact, I looked over at him as he winked….
I fucking love that man.
Bella: “Hey.”
Kennedy: “Hi. Good to see you, honey.”
Bella: “Yeah, Megan missed you…. And so did I.”
Kennedy: “I missed you too. Look, about what happened, I’m….”
Bella: “Kennedy, it’s okay. Mind if we come in and talk?”
Kennedy: “God, no, please. Do you two have anywhere to stay?”
Knots: “Yeah, they are staying with us.”
My eyes widened as I knew right there that Jonathan was behind this, maybe he knew that this was what I was missing, since I stopped talking to them my confidence had dropped, things were not going my way and yet the strongest part of my 2018 campaign was when this little girl and family were in my life….
And now they are again.
Paramount Studios
Burbank, CA.
Jordan Mills sat in her office looking over Kennedy Street’s file, she was filling out potential other appearances on shows, having her plate full, knowing how much Kennedy was loving the chance. Her phone rings, she answers, it was her sister, September….
Jordan: “Hey sis.”
September: “Hey, Jordan. I just needed an update really quickly.”
Jordan: “Sure, she was awesome, they loved her. Now they are talking about using her for other projects, I think her plate is going to be pretty full coming up, her attention will be elsewhere for sure.”
September: “Fantastic news, so she’s a natural?”
Jordan: “Yeah, she is.”
September: “Well, I’m glad it worked out.”
Jordan: “Thank you, the tip you gave me was what landed her, I appreciate it.”
September: “Anything for my little sister. Talk to you soon.”
Jordan: “Okay, bye.”
Jordan hung up the phone and continued to work on her file. On the other end of the line, September hangs up, she cracks a smirk….
September: “It’s working like I told you it would. Soon, Kennedy Street will be out of your hair.”
Sienna Swann’s former agent turns around to face Laura Steinbeck, who simply smiles.
SCENE FADES
REC:
“Wrestling is part body, part mind. In the last year I have seen a different side to myself, one that I never thought existed. I married the man I love, one that for years I tried to deny myself and now can’t see without. I have the little girl whom for years I beat myself over losing her, no matter if she was daughter of Damian Angel or not, Sonia is like my own. I fought against the people who tried to ruin my career, the time I took to gain the trust from all of you, my fans and met some very special people along the way. Maybe this is the reason I’m so hard on myself these days, I’m so afraid of failing the girls, young women and men that I inspire and empower to go out there and make those necessary changes that need to happen before you find yourself n quicksand trying to get out and the more you fight, the more you sink…
I did it before it was too late.
I was a coward no more.
Debauchery was in my past.
It was time to fight on my own two feet and this time with my sister by my side.
The Sexy Flawless Diva was truly flawless honey, and no one could deny that.
The past four months though, I lost some confidence, something that many young wrestlers are full of like Owen Cruze who hasn’t truly understood how to handle it because they haven’t been there yet. Chris Cannon who knows humility, most caused by his own actions and words, having to look into my cousins’ eyes and watch her last days in the ring from the sideline. It takes a toll on a man and the only thing that will fix it is success….
It cures almost everything.
Bound By Blood was my lesson, Trinity and I fought to the bitter end and it wasn’t enough which in turn wasn’t acceptable to us. I have seen the stock of a young man rise in Owen Cruze, the Rookie of the Year, the winner of the End of the Year Battle Royal, the successes against Selena Frost and others who has shown just how much he’s improved. There is Chris Cannon who has such a fire burning in him, figuring out the answers to the questions maybe he wasn’t ready or didn’t know for when he does, he along with Owen and a little experience will become unstoppable.
For me though, honey? My story right now, the role I play is a little different. My back is to the wall and the only way that I can climb back is to beat the two people I respect so much in the SCW even if Katya is making a game out of it, I don’t need to play along….
For I have a guaranteed rematch for the World Championship and what does that mean Chris and Owen?
No one stands in my way, not even you two, honey.”
/REC
PROMO TIME HONEY
THREE’S A CROWD
The Scene Opens….
The old Chain of Rocks Bridge spans the Mississippi River on the north edge of St. Louis, Missouri. The eastern end of the bridge is on Chouteau Island, part of Madison, Illinois, while the western end is on the Missouri shoreline. Its most notable feature is a 22-degree bend occurring at the middle of the crossing. Originally a motor route, the bridge was for a time the route used by Route 66 (US 66) to cross over the Mississippi, but the bridge now carries only walking and biking trails over the river – and the New Chain of Rocks Bridge carries vehicular traffic to the north. The old route to the bridge is now called Chain of Rocks Road and ends near Roman Road. Parking is available at the start of the now pedestrian route. The bridge was added to the National Register of Historical Places in 2006.
Here is where we find Kennedy Street, the “Sexy Flawless Diva” of wrestling who has been uncharacteristically quiet on the Social Media lately, since RTG XV when she lost the World Title shortly after to Sienna Swann after walking away the winner in the Main Event, things seemed to have gone downhill for Kennedy to the point she ended up taking a backseat to other talent including the two men she faces at Breakdown. No one will forget the hard battle she fought along her sister, Trinity at Bound by Blood where she took on basically the entire other opposing team including outside help and almost pulled it through after theirs were all gone….
That didn’t sit well with the Streets, it was unacceptable.
Kennedy and Trinity vowed to get some revenge and then found themselves in a war with not only The Beauty Factory and The Network, they also found themselves engaged in one with Dark Fantasy and their new friend, Katya Drachewych, daughter of Mr. D. For Kennedy, she was NOT going to allow them to get away with this after she fought to fend them off the first time and took the World Championship from Syren which caused all this to begin with, she now sees the abuse of power as she’s pitted against two of her friends, family and allies which is of no coincidence. Kennedy herself is a gamer, she is a competitor, she will come to wrestle and right now has so much to prove, her stock has dropped, people have maybe lost faith, the winds of her sails have run dry and now she sees Owen Cruze trying to surpass her and many say he has and while she wants him to succeed….
She’s not ready to give that up just yet.
Wearing jeans, black knee-high boots, a matching leather jacket and red sweater under, her long blonde hair hanging down, nails polished a dark red matching her lipstick, she stands by the water’s edge of the bridge looking out at the beautiful and chilly day. Trinity is with her behind the camera, holding it for her as she turns and nods….
REC:
The recording begins, Kennedy turns to the camera, removing her sunglasses showing off her green eyes as she speaks in her sexy voice….
“We always catch ourselves using that phrase, “Cross the bridge when it comes” and right now as I stand on this historic site, the Chain of Rocks Bridge, I feel like I’m at a by pass in my career, crossing a bridge that I know in time I would have to no matter what, that being the opportunity to get back to the very top or just disappear with the rest of the crowd. I picked this place because it’s quiet and serene, an indication of my mood and how I see myself among the roster. Looking at 2018 as a whole was a successful year for me until after Rise to Greatness where things seemed to get a little more difficult as time went on. That was last year, this is a new one. It was an honor to team with my sister, especially on New Year’s Eve when we defeated the Truelove Twins, never hurts to get a little measure of revenge. I was happy that Trinity and I finally were able to stand tall, it had been a long and arduous road honey, things didn’t go our way exactly. Sienna Swann won the Female Wrestler of the Year for 2018, well deserved, I can’t argue with that, she beat me for the Championship, pinned me again in a six-person tag match, things haven’t exactly been up to my standard since….
2019 will change that.
I have goals, resolutions like everyone else, mine are pretty simple, to get back my World Championship. See, I’m not the type of person who wants anything given to her, I don’t just want to walk out one Breakdown and suddenly it is announced I’m the next challenger, oh no honey, I want to earn it. And so, I look at the landscape of the SCW right now and it makes me sick. To witness just how far and low someone like Syren has fallen all to get her hands back at a world Title she had no chance in hell of beating me for it and now?
I’m powerless.
Now, I can only standby and watch.
Yes, my hands are tied and it’s freaking killing your Sexy Flawless Diva.
Katya wants to control the outcome of the product, she doesn’t understand how things work, you can’t be bias, choose sides or favorites, the mark of a good owner is to do what is best for business and not what is best for themselves or a select few other which is what Katya has fallen into which is why Trinity and I were the first to challenge her authority the minute we saw what was happening for many reasons and the biggest?
History.
Both of us were victims of Dark Fantasy’s games, we were recipients of their debauchery, greed and hate, we both found ourselves having our very character and lived threatened by three individuals who would stop at nothing to get back what they stole in the first place. Sienna has that right now, I don’t. All I can do is show up to work and do what is expected of me, to compete. I wish that things were different and now where do I find myself? Being challenged by the same people I call friends, family and allies. This was no coincidence, there is a power struggle going on between the daughters of Mr. D and unfortunately, I’m stuck in the middle of it which doesn’t exactly tickle my fancy, honey. I’m not going to stop fighting, I think Bound by Blood whether we lost or not showed exactly what the Street’s are all about, never giving up and wrestling until the bitter end no matter the odds. Is this where I find myself now? At some fork in the road of my career? Am I going to start 2019 like I ended the second half of 2018?
Stumbling?
While others like Owen Cruze and Chris Cannon build on their strong finishes to continue moving forward in the SCW leaving Kennedy Street in the rear view?
Sorry, not happening.
Making Things Right is the name of the Pay Per View, I’m not waiting for that to start the practice, instead, this Sexy Flawless Diva is going to start making things right NOW. It sucks that I have to face two people I hold near and dear to my heart but at this point, it is not about giving Katya what she wants, it’s about taking what I need….
Which is why my attention is now on you two, Owen Cruze and Chris Cannon.”
Kennedy looks away for a minute, she understands how hard it is to get motivated for a match that you know has so many underlining implications behind it and was made out of spite. Kennedy is not going to play into the game, but she is also not going to just lay down and pretend she doesn’t have a fight on her hand. Both competitors are hungry, none more than Kennedy. She turns back to the camera and speaks…..
“We are at a point where for some of us, this is it, we need to get back on track, piss or get off the pot so they say honey and for others? The sky’s the limit, right Owen? Chris, it seems like where we are right now is in a very similar situation, you are trying to find footing, get some big wins under your belt and go after some gold. After failing to capture the TV title and coming close to some matches, one against Ravyn where Trinity and I were out there so that you could get your fair shake at beating her, the one thing you want more than anything is a win over a former World Champion and the hottest wrestler on TV not named Sienna Swann.
I get it honey, I really do.
I could stand here right now and give you this huge speech on how I need to show why I am the most resilient wrestler in this company, this road I took a journey on a few years ago was all for not and in the end when I decide to call it quits and hang up my boots, I can do so knowing that I left at the top of my game and not some washed up, broken down shell of my former self. I’ve played the villain, we both have been on the wrong side of the fence thinking that it would work out. What happened?
You ended up shelved for almost two years, I almost lost my job and became irrelevant. This was our chance at a fresh start, I took advantage of mine, I came back stronger than ever, new attitude and I didn’t allow for twats like Dark Fantasy to get the best of me, even the Beauty Factory and Network with their successes recently, I stood my ground, became World Champion, main evented the biggest show of the year and won, a moment that I will never forget for as long as I live….
And like Owen Cruze, you want that Chris, not just for you, Kelcey and Christian as well as your new daughter.
I can respect that, see how much you want to succeed all in their name but what happened Chris?
Sienna Swann happened, and your focus went elsewhere.
You knew she was bad news from the beginning and I’m not one to judge, everyone deserves a chance, they gave us one, so I see where you are coming here but then I also never forget. That may be the difference between the three of us, I don’t hold grudges anymore, I do use it as a motivator to focus on what is important and for me, that’s family just like you Chris….
The question then I find myself asking is….
What makes your family more entitled than mine? When does this become less about you and me, more about the people we care about and do whatever it takes to make sure we do everything in our power to do so? You know, Katya is playing us, she even went as far to say some pretty derogatory things about your wife, my cousin and in many ways, I felt you and Owen, the two people who Kelcey helps the most kind of let her get away with it?
I was disappointed.
Look honey, the three of us are not stupid, we know that this could very well be a setup to get us in the ring together, maybe she thinks we are going to pick each other off, I don’t know so the question bears asking then Chris….
Are you willing to play the game? Are you willing to forget everything that happened just for a chance to get the biggest win in your return and set yourself up for a future title match or just get your name back in the conversation? Bound By Blood we fought side by side, I know that so much happened behind the scenes, there were some ill feelings that you had toward my sister for something that happened years ago, I get that well what about me Chris?
What about the attack you and the rest of Monarchy orchestrated on me back in 2015? See, I could hold you to that, make you sign a check that your ass maybe can’t cash? Or how about what happened to between you and Blake Mason? How everything just fell apart in an instance and you left Kelcey alone to fight? That all weighs on your shoulder it’s the main reason why you want this match and not even care about the meaning behind it and that’s fine because I feel the same way, Chris. I don’t care what Katya’s motives are, at the end of the day I will still stand by you and fight against them. We have been in this situation before, a match between the two of us and it was never solved….
Now, I’m ready to solve it.
You are family Chris, there is nothing which will change it but I need you to understand my take, what I am seeing, why I need this more than anything because after I win, after I take my spot back in the spotlight and REMIND every single wrestler that 2019 is the Year of Kennedy Street? Then it will be ME who is back as the topic of conversation and it will be ME standing side by side with my family, friends and allies against Katya, against Dark Fantasy, The Network, the Beauty Factory and anyone else hoping to make promise on a corrupt system that has obviously become a Game of Thrones….
While I am still the Sexy Flawless Diva.
I have to do this Chris, sorry honey, Kelcey will always be proud of you.”
It hurts her to say that because Kennedy knows how much this match means to Chris and Kelcey Cannon, she also understands that this is more than just jockeying for position, it could be a trap. Kennedy is showing up to work like she always does and if anyone doesn’t understand the severity of what is going on is none other than the Rookie of the Year himself, Owen Cruze. She looks at Trinity almost remorseful, her sister encourages her as the gorgeous Diva looks back at the camera and speaks….
“Then there is the Rookie of the Year in 2018….
You earned every bit of that Owen clawing, scratching and fighting your way to every challenge, never backing down and look how you finished the year, richer, a new car and a trophy to go along with it, honey. Your dad is up there right now looking down so proud of you, that you’ve made a stance, decided that this was the path you were taking and in doing so you will make so many mistakes along the way and long as you learn from them? They become your experiences that will make you a better person.
It took me years to finally figure things out and doing it right without allowing the pressures of the business and the critics get to my head and make me into Keenie, embarrassing myself on national TV. I pushed that envelope Owen, I was very successful, the talk of the town until I decided to do things right and even then, you will always encounter people who are trying to break me down so that I can no longer move forward. You know what that means?
I made it.
When Dark Fantasy used me as their scapegoat, I was angry and flattered at the same time, I never thought in a million years that those three stooges would take the time to frame me. It was flattering in many ways that they saw me as a threat. One day, that may happen to you Owen but right now, you’re enjoy it, right? I mean wrestling is cool, your name is on lights, there is action figures and t-shirts now with your catchphrases on it, a bit surreal, still trying to soak it all in and at the same time, this is what you were born to do?
So was I.
We both come from a strong family legacy in the sport, expected to carry on our names and not embarrass ourselves. You are living life right now Owen, styling around with Jaina in the new car, I love that girl, you better take good care of her, honey. Spending some cash, I am so happy for you and this is why it’s going to hurt me to have to burst your bubble….
Because you see, you have NEVER been in my situation. One day you will be, one day you will Main Event, Rise to Greatness like your Uncle, Kelcey and I did, one day you will be a World Champion, understand what it is like to be at the very top and then see some young kid who is so hungry to be the best and make his dad proud try to take your moment and spotlight. I have been busting my Sexy Flawless Ass for the last two years to finally make my dreams come true and they did but just as fast they were shattered, and I have NOT been able to get traction.
I’m not having fun anymore.
I miss it. The more I fight, the more I sink and Bound By Blood for you might have been your biggest moment and for me?
My darkest.
Owen, I hate to play spoiler, I know that you belong here and whether this match is a setup, Katya has something planned for us or not, you came to fight by my side, you showed how much integrity there is for such a young man, you are almost like family to me and yet, I want to tell you a little story about your dad. The first time I met Orlando, I was in a match with Dawn Lohan as the Cashmere Mafia against Dark Fantasy. Your father along with Hurse and Ethan von Aaron then called Porno Lad attacked us in an IWC Invasion. He picked me out first, beat me down pretty good, that was the first impression I had of your father….
And so, I think he knows that I never paid him back for that.
I respect you Owen, I also respected the hell out of your dad, he was a good man even if he bruised me up pretty good honey and made me spend thousands of dollars on makeup to cover it up. All joking aside Owen, this is not about what happened then, this is about now, and I don’t expect you to get it because you have never been in my shoes. I was at the very top, now I see you ahead of me, I see so many people ahead of me and all it does is anger me! I’m not ready to move aside, I didn’t come all this way to just give up and watch Syren get handed whatever she wants or you to take my place when I was there four years ago, doing what you are now, making a name, staying afloat and proving to anyone that Kennedy Street WAS the Star of Tomorrow….
Well Tomorrow is still TODAY.”
She turns to Trinity as her sister throws her a pair of wrestling tights, they are blood stained. Kennedy holds them up to the camera…
“I have been knocked out, tapped out, pinned, choked out, beaten to a bloody pulp and I keep these tights from last November to remind me of the battles I have been in and lost no matter how hard I try. THIS? Is something my sister and brother have done, my cousins, YOUR father and Uncle, we have all been there, you have yet to Owen so you’ll never know how I feel until the day these things happen to you on the way to the pinnacle of this sport
I’m going to help by teaching you another lesson.
I’m walking into Breakdown with ONE goal, to win. See Owen, I’m going to force Katya’s hand, she knows that I am the biggest threat to Syren and with all due respect, you and Chris are just standing in my way. Like I told him, we stand side by side when this is over but for now, it this is a process of elimination?
Then so be it honey for I don’t plan on going anywhere.
You have this bright future ahead, my days? They maybe numbered and so I will take every single opportunity I can to make each one count. Enjoy your car, money, New Year’s Eve victory because 2019 is not going to start like you want it, honey and I’m saying this as a competitor with no ill will toward you, you’re getting Kennedy Street in the ring not outside it.”
Her green eyes narrow, staring right into the camera, the gorgeous Kennedy Street is determined and more focused than ever. Trinity is looking on proud of her sister, after New Year’s, she was revitalized, and nothing will seem to stand in her way. Kennedy takes a deep breath, knowing that this will be a tough match, an emotional one and most of all a victorious one. She continues to speak…..
“Katya, are you happy, honey? You think you’re going to pull one over on us? Think the Beauty Factory and Street Legacy match was a chance to soften us up? No, all you did was give me and Trinity more resolve, all you’re doing is motivating me further to put all of my attention on you bitch and the band of merry twats you hang around with. You’re not getting the results you think, I’m going to win this match, do what I have been doing for years. I will watch Owen rise, I will witness Chris breakthrough but all after I get back on track.
See, I’m crossing that bridge now and nothing is going to stop me from getting back MY World Championship. New Year, New Me?
Or just a more dangerous Sexy Flawless Diva?
Chris and Owen, good luck out there, we will steal the show no doubt about that for what we do as wrestlers is wrestle, I’m coming to do just that and sorry honey for this will end with someone getting a Touch of Class.
And then Katya?
I’ll save a special one just for your girl.”
Kennedy winks….
“Namaste Bitches.”
… and blows a kiss before walking off camera.
FADE TO BLACK
