“Tell me how you really feel. Don’t sugarcoat anything, really tell me what is going on inside that head of yours so that maybe we can all understand a little better. Surely you are not okay with these results, right? Or has it become so damn convenient and even complacent to the point you’ve accepted losing, honey?
We both know that Keenie doesn’t play that way.
When you decided to get rid of me, it was supposed to be your big play into the Main Event. How long did it take you? Two years? Sure, you made it, it’s the goal aimed and while pedestrian, quite honorable, sure Amy Chastaine now respects you, that’s what you wanted, no? It must’ve been pretty rough to eat crow though, right honey? To swallow your pride and admit that you were wrong from the very beginning making anyone that doubted you, right? It seems like when winning is the only thing going right for you, all things considered, life is grand? The marriage is good to your what, fourth choice? Or was Jonny fifth? Glass half full scenario, at least you’re no longer sleeping with random guys or trying to get their money like we did, remember Alex Young?
Keenie actually liked him, his brother on the other hand was an asshole, honey.
Is it safe to say that you’re disappointed now?
Sure, when you and me were together as one, there were ups and downs but nothing a little shopping, a mani/pedi and a bottle of Dom wouldn’t solve, right? There are so many questions that you are probably asking yourself and how hard can it be to handle this when you were at the VERY TOP of the SCW just five months ago and suddenly you are not even considered a Top 15 wrestler in the company and nobody even cares?
We must do something about this honey and stat!
Do you think anyone is going to help you? Come now, we all know that Keenie returns her own favors. Maybe we need to take a trip, oh right you are married now with a kid that belongs to the devil and don’t even go shopping like you used to and why? Come on girl, European trip, France! Let’s go get you something nice, you deserve it, it helps losers when they can’t win at anything, you know better than anyone that going to Paris without a Chanel bag is like going to St. Bart’s without sunscreen. It is not healthy honey….”
“Shut Up”
“Finally, you say something! For a minute there Keenie was thinking she was watching a Ravyn promo on TV and only hearing “Mwah mwah mwah mwah”. Look, we both understand what is happening, Keenie gets it. You would love nothing more than a chance to have a relationship to be able to hold hands, jump on a private jet to Cabo like normal people and take a staycation but we have work to do.”
“No, we don’t.”
“Yes, we do.”
SEXY FLAWLESS TRIALS: BECOMING KEENIE
It took me a while to muster the courage and energy to finally go and see him. It had been a month or so since I realized that maybe I needed to talk to someone. I love Jonny and Sonia, they are always there for me but sometimes I feel like I can’t tell them everything for one reason, I don’t want them to worry. Life can be weird that way though, as I am trying to find answers to my struggles, suddenly things begin to take a turn for the worse. I thought after the New Year things were going to change, new year, new me kind of thing honey and instead it was one of the most humiliating losses I ever suffered in my career. It wasn’t because Chris Cannon won, losing to a talent like him is no shame, it’s how Chris Cannon won pinning both me and Owen Cruze at the same time. For Owen it doesn’t matter, he’s young, has so many memories to make. For me? I was the Main Event of RTG, the former World Champion, a woman that was at the top of the mountain here just five months ago….
Sorry if everyone else thinks I’m being too hard on myself.
Some will never get how I feel or think. Losing to Sienna and the Beauty Factory on multiple occasions were bad enough. Sure, I can look back and find the silver lining, fighting tooth and nail with my sister against all odds. Being a little too caught up in the moment and getting taken at the opportune time. Trying too hard to go after one person when others were involved and once again taking the eyes off the ball….
And then Katya.
The day she was in my face and said those things, I felt something inside turn a switch and since then I have been scared to death at what might become of it. I started to act, it was a nice escape from the ring, even contemplated leaving the SCW for it. After what has been happening lately?
No chance in hell that I can, not like this.
Trinity tried to protect me, she ended up getting taken off TV at least until Katya is no longer in charge. I was injured in the match with Cannon and Cruze, preventing me from participating at Making Things Right. After that she thought she would play me as the special referee to two women I despise….
She wanted Bitchy Kennie, she received a lot more.
Something had to give, and it was slowly Kennedy Street.
Los Angeles, CA.
2.11.19
Something inside of me clicked, I didn’t feel right or the same. I don’t know if I do it to myself, going crazy or if I just need to find some answers to questions that even I don’t know I have. Honestly, what we do and who we are in the past never go away, they are hibernating inside each of us, waiting for a reason to resurface….
A reason to come back and take over.
I felt like a wild a child this morning. Wearing pleather plants and open toed heels. A black halter top with my long blonde hair hanging down. I went a little conservative on my nails, a baby pink would suffice, didn’t want to bring too much attention to myself even though at this moment I was having a sort of personality inner conflict. I could tell he was looking at me. Dr. Ross Palkia, he was handsome, younger than most. He came highly recommended from Jordan Mills as her and I were really starting to develop an extremely close relationship. I liked her and it was nice having someone outside the family to talk to….
Crossing my legs, I brushed my hair back and looked at the Doctor in his grey shirt and black slacks, I guess nowadays they don’t wear suits….
Can’t really say I have experience with shrinks.
Dr. Ross: You’re Jordan’s friend, she’s a very nice woman.”
Kennedy: “She is honey…. I mean Doctor Palkia.”
Dr. Ross: “Call me Ross. This is a very informal meeting. There is a reason why you’re here, women like yourself just don’t show up to chat. So, tell me, what is going on with you Kennedy?”
Kennedy: “I don’t know, that’s the problem. There are mornings that I wake up feeling crazy, like I’m losing my mind. There are other times when I’m scared to death, losing control.”
Dr. Ross: “Losing control? To who?”
Kennedy: “Ross, you know better than I do, Sigmund Freud thought that the human personality was a product of the battle between our destructive impulses and our search for pleasure. Don’t ask me how I know that, I just do, and I think that’s where I am right now.”
Dr. Ross: “Have you been experiencing some sort of heart break? Loss? Maybe a traumatic moment?”
Try all three honey….
Kennedy: “Yes. While I am acting, I’m also a professional wrestler, you knew that from my file. I have not been successful lately. Some call it bad luck, others call it a slump, many think I’m whining and acting like a little bitch. The fact is, I hold myself to a certain standard honey, and in the last month or so something inside of me awakened. Now, I have been having this string of bad luck and losses since September of last year.”
Dr. Ross: “Give me some examples, Kennedy.”
Kennedy: “I was in the Main Event of the biggest PPV of the year after trying to fix my reputation that she destroyed.”
Dr. Ross: “She?”
Kennedy: “Keenie.”
Dr. Ross: “And who is Keenie?”
Kennedy: “Remember that destructive impulse and the search for pleasure? She’s the impulse.”
Dr. Ross: “Okay, go on.”
Kennedy: “I had to fight my way to respectability, sure I was beat a few times, I was bled, choked out unconscious, assaulted by my own brother, a couple of tramps tried to defame my character with lies and this all led to that one moment where I finished the show as Champion. It was amazing, you can’t even fathom the experience and the satisfaction I had on this night. It was the greatest moment of my life because all my hard work paid off.”
Just thinking about it almost made me want to cry….
Dr. Ross: “And then?”
Kennedy: “The next show, I lost it all because I fell into the trap. I was a fighting champion and wanted to prove that. Sienna Swann came in and took the title. A few weeks later I battled her friend, Bree, beat her, felt like I was back on track and then lost to Sienna again this time in a six-person tag, she pinned me. After that I don’t know what happened. I defeated Dante McCaffery, won a few tag team matches, then lost a huge Elimination Match to the same people who were making my life a living hell though my sister and I fought against insurmountable odds. We lost, but I was proud of how her and I stood together on that night.”
Dr. Ross: “You love your sister very much, a close relationship?”
Kennedy: “Not always. Lexi hurt me when I was younger. I looked up to her and she always found a way to abandon me on my birthdays or whenever I really needed her. Only lately have we been able to patch things up.”
Dr. Ross: “I understand. The relationship has now fixed itself, a very positive energy in your life.”
Kennedy: “It really is though I don’t know if my mother is convinced or understands truly. Seems like she thinks, I’m being too nice.”
Dr. Ross: “Too nice?”
I let out a deep breath, like all the air had escaped my body. I didn’t know where to start, coming to a crossroads like a lost journeymen trying to decide which path to take in the fork on the road…..
Kennedy: “Everything with me started after that night.”
Dr. Ross: “What night was that?”
Kennedy: “January 9th, I was in the Main Event against Chris Cannon and Owen Cruze. Katya, the daughter of Mr. D, his name is too long and confusing to say all the time honey, so just accept D.”
Dr. Ross: “D is fine.”
Kennedy: “Good. So, it was a great match, a showcase in what SCW was all about. Three wrestlers, one will be a World Champion and so happens to be married into my family, the other was the Rookie of the Year and will be the star of tomorrow and me. I was trying to get Owen to submit, he’s the “RoY”, that’s Rookie of the Year….”
Dr. Ross: “I figured.”
Kennedy: “Okay, good, so Chris came out of nowhere and speared us both. In the process he Cracked some ribs and pinned us both. It was a match that was the epitome of what SCW was about.”
Dr. Ross: “And yet you didn’t feel that way?”
Lowering my head, it was embarrassing that I felt so much bitterness, but I knew it was her starting to rear her ugly head again, that is why and while it may sound like a cop out or the easy way out, it was the only explanation I had….
Kennedy: “It’s not who I lost to, it was how. I’m better than this Ross, I should have won that match and yet I felt Chris finally decided to show up when he was one of the members of my team back in October that left Trinity…. That’s my sisters wrestling name and I alone to fend off the rest. I shouldn’t feel this way, I should go right up to him, shake his hand and thank him for a great match AND the eye opening experience I needed to motivate myself to do better but as I stood up, I couldn’t breathe, I knew something was wrong and I lost three weeks of action to start the New Year and miss out on an event that determined who would be in charge of the promotion, there is a power struggle between daughters and Mr. D, long story.”
Dr. Ross: “So after that night, it’s when you started to feel this way?”
Kennedy: “After the event, I took some pain pills, my husband was there, and he knew something was wrong. I drank a couple glasses of wine, I was upset, and the combination made me passed out. I shouldn’t have done that to my husband, he saw everything, he announces the matches.”
Dr. Ross: “Must be tough for him.”
Kennedy: “It is. It’s tough for me too because I feel I let him down.”
Dr. Ross: “Does he feel that way?”
Kennedy: “I don’t think so.”
Dr. Ross: “So what happened after that?”
Kennedy: “When I woke up the next morning, it’s when I started to get these thoughts. I was not a good sportsman, I lashed out on twitter. I started acting like her again. Chris apologized, I wanted nothing to do with it. Thinking back, I’m ashamed of the way I reacted, and Katya saw that, she took advantage of my weaknesses and confronted me. It was obvious this gal has a deep hatred for me because her dad treats me like a daughter. My sister took the bullet, she’s off TV now because of it.”
Dr. Ross: “What happened? “
Kennedy: “Katya wanted me to show my true colors.”
Dr. Ross: “Keenie?”
Kennedy: “Yes.
Dr. Ross: “Is that your true colors?”
It took me a second to answer that only because there were times How felt like that. Keenie was my defense mechanism, I was hurt too many times to deal with things, so I took the cowards way out of it. It’s easy to allow Keenie to take control….
I sound like a psychopath…..
Kennedy: “No.”
Dr. Ross: “Unsure of yourself?”
Kennedy: “N…. I don’t know.”
Dr. Ross: “Katya confronted you, the week before you were hurt, lost….”
Kennedy: “She was going to fire me before the match, her father stepped in. I think she was going to fire all of us. Doesn’t matter, moot point. The way I have been performing in the ring lately, I should be fired.”
Dr. Ross: “I do my homework on all my patience, I see where you are in SCW. I Honestly think you are being to hard on yourself BUT that is not always a bad thing. All of this has led to the confrontation, the moment your sister?”
Kennedy: “Struck Katya and saved my job at the expense of hers and do you think I’m going to stand for that? I had to sit at home where the event was HERE, here in my hometown and I couldn’t even be in the building!?”
Dr. Ross: “What happened that night?”
Kennedy: “My husband was calling play by play, he was there. Trinity thought it would be a good idea if I was over at her place with her family and my daughter. My mother was there too, she liked to spend whatever time she could with us. Kelcey was by herself, so she was invited too, it was awkward.”
Dr. Ross: “Kelcey is Chris’s wife?”
All I could do was nod before thinking of that night and telling him how it went….
Santa Monica, CA.
1.20.19
During Making Things Right
Understanding what Lexi was trying to do was the easy part. She wanted to make light of everything. Lucas Knight was there with Kelcey Wallace and my sister. It was like a Monarchy reunion except without Chris who was competing against Xander Valentine. I of course was out with an injury, the hatred toward Chris grew and it was not healthy. I could tell that it was getting more and more apparent and even Kelcey was cautious approaching me. There were times I felt like I didn’t fit in. I wasn’t going to get all dressed up, wearing jeans and a Patriots t-shirt. I didn’t bother putting on shoes, it was flip flops even if I needed a mani/pedi, sitting at home, I wasn’t even thinking about nail polish, I decided to take it all off and play simple for once. My hair was under a baseball cap, I know, me not doing my hair was a first with little make-up and ribs bandaged up, Kelcey who was pregnant and really showing had on a cute black summer dress and thong sandals. My sister on the other hand always made herself up like she was in some photoshoot with a blue blouse, sandals and jeans that cost more than most people make in a week….
Lucas was an Englishman, he always wore his Polo shirts and slacks. The kids were upstairs playing, I’m happy they were not around us.
I was mostly quiet, sipped on some spiked lemonade Trinity made but not too much, the last thing I needed was to get drunk around my kid and have to Uber home with her tucking me into bed if she doesn’t have to carry me from the car, imagine a twelve year old carrying me over her shoulder as I have a tendency of passing out after a few drinks, I’m a cheap date honey….
Yeah no.
The event was on TV, Kelcey was anxious to see her husband compete against that monster. I knew what Xander was all about, so did Trinity. He took her out of the Bound By Blood match, he also took out Chris, I was lucky but in the end it took all my efforts and it wasn’t enough. I focused my eyes on the TV. My mother was there, inside the kitchen making snacks and such, Trinity had it catered, spared no expense….
Trinity: “Mum, the pinwheels are over in the refrigerator. They are set, we just need to put them out, also the Hummus, the Pita and the Stuffed Grape leaves for Kelcey….”
Kelcey: “Oh I’m not vegan anymore love.”
Trinity: “Really?”
Kelcey: “You know with child that’s not happening. Besides, while it made me sick for a little while, I’m addicted to In N’ Out Burgers now. I’m a meat eater, so anything you have, I’ll devour.”
She was happy, her face glowed with every word she talked about her child. I was ecstatic for Kelcey, God I love her so much even after all we did to one another and put each other through. She is like my sister, everything about her gives me hope when she too fell into the same trap as I did once but she will always be a better person than I…..
Trinity: “I have some smokies there, Lucas loves those bloody things, in BBQ sauce.”
Kelcey: “Yum, yes. Kennedy?”
It was only a matter of time before Kelcey addressed me. I wasn’t going top be rude, she didn’t deserve that. My eyes slowly shifted toward her direction like a Peeping Tom on an unsuspecting victim….
Kennedy: “Yes?”
Kelcey: “You are awfully quiet over there, Is everything okay?”
Kennedy: “Yeah, I’m fine. Just watching the PPV is all.”
Kelcey: “Kennedy, I just want you to know that Chris feels terrible about this and….”
At this point, I really didn’t want to hear it. I put up my hand, cracking a half smile trying to be polite….
Kennedy: “It’s fine honey, just enjoy the matches, I’m sure that Chris will do fine.”
Kelcey: “I know how much you wanted to be a part of it, you always bounce back strong, we have all been there.”
Kennedy: “I know, thanks.”
Just then Trinity came over and handed Kelcey a plate of food, it was perfect timing. That was my cue to stand up and walk over to the kitchen to grab another drink. Opening the Fridge, my mother cornered me, talking quietly so that no one else could hear over the sound of the TV…..
Madeleine: “You don’t have to be nice about it.”
Kennedy: “She’s family.”
Madeleine: “Yes, she is, and I love her like a daughter but if you continue to act like this doesn’t bother you then it will. How long are you going to continue hiding your true emotions?”
Kennedy: “Mom, please don’t.”
Madeleine: “You do understand that I know you better than anyone Kennedy, you are my daughter. That’s where you should be right now, same with Lexi. Kelcey is retired, she had a great moment yesterday and can now relax, her charity is up and running….”
Kennedy: “Sienna played her, mother.”
Madeleine: “That maybe so but tell me one thing, Is the charity now off the ground? Is it a reality?”
Kennedy: “Yes.”
Madeleine: “Silver lining honey. Lexi put her career on the line to slap that brat from humiliating you. Kel’s husband hurt you whether by mistake or not it was bloody careless, disagree with me?”
I couldn’t, instead I just shook my head and grabbed more Ginger Lemonade….
Madeleine: “You know what happens when you get stressed out and things do not go your way. You are a loving, caring and magnificent woman but since you were a teenage, you always fell back to her. It was your escape and if you do not deal with these emotions now the way you want to and not the way you should, what do you think is going to happen, Kennedy?”
Kennedy: “Mom, I have controlled it for over two years. I will be fine.”
Madeleine: “Tell me you didn’t want to kick that little bitch in the face?”
Kennedy: “What does that have to do with anything?”
Madeleine: “Tell me you don’t want to punch Chris in the mouth for making you sit here and watching this important PPV at home, where the balance of power is on the line?”
Kennedy: “Mom, please stop.”
Madeleine: “If you do not deal with your raw emotions, we both know what happens. The last time you poisoned your father, you destroyed your sister’s marriage, sent your brother to prison and you took her child. Now, all things considered everything worked out for the better. Lexi is happily married again, Donovan is no longer part of your life and is in England with your Grandfather. Angelina has grown up to be an angel….”
Kennedy: “Please don’t call her that.”
Madeleine: “Really? Are you going to let that woman control your life? She is an angel, no matter who you are hating or fighting against, I am sorry that woman destroyed your championship reign, Angelina is still an Angel.”
Kennedy: “Forget I said anything…..”
Upon saying that I could see Chris Cannon walking out against Xander Valentine. Kelcey sat up, edge of her seat, so worried about her husband. Lucas knew all too well what that man was all about. Trinity came to the kitchen, she could see something was going on….
Trinity: “What’s happening?”
Kennedy: “Nothing.”
Madeleine: “No. something. I am trying to tell your sister that she needs to let everything out and stop pretending to be nice about it. Look what happened to you? I thought this return to the SCW and the Street Legacy was supposed to be a thing and you haven’t been there since the night you punched that young brat.”
Trinity: “Mum, why don’t you let Kennedy and I handle this.”
Madeleine: “Sitting at home? Here where half an hour down the road this is happening?”
Trinity: “What are you doing right now?”
Madeleine: “I’m trying to prevent my daughter from losing herself again like she has countless amounts of time and you are not helping. Kennedy just needs to be herself. I understand the whole appearances thing….”
As my lips started to move, Trinity cut me off. I could tell Lexi was getting fired up but kept calm and quiet….
Trinity: “She is being Kennedy, mum. Right now, she needs our support more than ever. I can’t be there is that little bint is in charge. It’s unfortunate that Kennedy was hurt in the match with Chris and Owen, no one wants to be there more than her. It’s killing Kennedy mum. All we can do right now is watch and see how things play out, when they do, if its worse case scenario we will figure something out then. The first thing we need to do is get her healthy and back in the ring so she can stop this little slump she’s in. Winning changes everything, she will NEVER go back to what she was. NEVER, I will make sure of it.”
Kennedy: “I won’t.”
Trinity: “I know love. So, mum, can we please just enjoy the night? I want to watch Regan beat the hell out of Datura, I want to see Katya crying when Syren walks out with nothing, I want to see Chris put the man that almost broke my back in his place, I want to see Owen beat Ravyn and become Champion. Do you think that Kennedy doesn’t see this playing out right now? Chris and Owen in huge matches and she’s standing here with a lemonade and a plate of smokies? Trust us, mum. We have never failed ultimately before, we have only had drawbacks that only make us better.”
It took a moment for that to sink into my mother’s brain, seeing her nod was enough relief for me though I knew that she was right all along. Just then I could here Kelcey scream, we all turned and looked at the TV watching Ikiro attack him, it upset me for so many reasons, as he was disqualified. Kelcey couldn’t get too excited because of the baby, visibly upset, Lucas rubbed her back….
Lucas: “It’s okay love, he gave it his best. It’s unfortunate but be proud of him.”
Kelcey: “I am.”
When she said that, Kelcey slowly looked over her shoulder at me, almost as if she was trying to seek forgiveness or even acknowledgment that he tired his best. All I could do is stare back at her before my eyes wandered back to the television….
I should have been there….
And thanks to him I wasn’t.
Los Angeles, CA.
2.11.19
There was a feeling of shame and guilt after I told Dr. Ross about my Making Things Right evening, I didn’t even bother to tell him how it ended, maybe some things should be unsaid….
Dr. Ross: “What else happened that night, you are not telling me.”
Oh, he’s good, honey….
Kennedy: “It wasn’t a good night for our family. For the first time in a long time I saw my older sister cry after the result of a match. When my cousin Regan lost to a woman that has been terrorizing her and the family, we all know how much she wanted that win and Regan doesn’t lose often, she is very good at was she does, we all thought she’d take her. My cousin though didn’t take the competitor serious enough, took her hand out early, she was beaten, left in the middle of the ring unconscious. Lexi was so upset, blaming herself because she felt she could have helped Regan prepare. Regan and I haven’t seen eye to eye for a long time, we have fought before but I will say this, I respect the hell out of her and after what happened and how she responded? At least I now things are going to be different moving forward.”
Dr. Ross: “And you?”
Kennedy: “Katya took control, she is now in charge and there was nothing I could do about it. I walked away for a moment, needed to hide in the bathroom after Owen Cruze was being attacked, the Ro….”
Dr. Ross: “Right, the rookie you wrestled with, why?”
Kennedy: “The fans chanted my name, they wanted me to come out and I didn’t because I was sitting on the fucking couch watching it all unfold. Kelcey knew I was angry, she tried to grab me, but I wanted nothing to do with it. It wasn’t pleasant. To see Syren world Champion again after I busted my ass to prevent her from doing it? That hurt too. The ride home was silent, luckily Sonia fell asleep and I didn’t have to worry about hiding my feelings. I hated it Ross, I hated every minute I sat on the couch and watched this event. It started again….”
Dr. Ross: “The thoughts?”
Kennedy: “Yes honey, I mean Doctor… sorry bad habit.”
Dr. Ross: “It’s fine. What did your husband think?”
Kennedy: “By then I was already three glasses of wine in, I was awake for maybe twenty minutes after he came home until I fell asleep on the couch. I didn’t want to talk about it or face him either, it was better I was unconscious.”
Dr. Ross: “Have you talked to your husband about these feelings? Your daughter, maybe?”
Kennedy: “Jonny knows. I don’t think he understands to what level, but he does know. I’m angry and it showed in Kentucky last week.”
Dr. Ross: “What showed? Her?”
Kennedy: “I like to call it Bitchy Kennie, it probably will sell t-shirts soon knowing the marketing boys in the SCW. Truth is, Bitchy Kennie is just another title for Keenie.”
My voice trailed off some in uncertainty; hands and feet started to get clammy, as my toes curled, I could see him noticing that out of the corner of his eyes. Rubbing my hands together, the friction alone could have started a forest fire. Looking away I had hoped he didn’t catch on….
Dr. Ross: “Why are you, nervous right now Kennedy?”
He caught on….
Kennedy: “I’m scared.”
Dr. Ross: “Of what?”
Kennedy: “Becoming her again. Bree Lancaster and Sienna Swann are two women I have no love lost for. Katya wanted to continue screwing with me, knowing I was not medically cleared to wrestle, so she made me the referee while playing with those two as well, the winner was to be the Number one contender to the World Title or in Bree’s case she had a choice, with another championship she lost at the same event but whatever. I knew they were going to try to help each other, I stopped that right from the beginning. Forced them to fight….”
Dr. Ross: “I’m going to take a stab at this and say you never planned to let either of them win, right?”
Kennedy: “I wasn’t.”
Dr. Ross: “Why?”
Kennedy: “They don’t deserve it and Katya isn’t going to get Scott-free either, she must start making some decisions and I’ll make sure that she pays for what she has done no matter if she is the daughter of one of the greatest men I know or not….. I hate her… I ha…..”
I stopped myself realizing what had happened, that was not me talking, it was my emotions, those that have been hidden away. My eyes started to tear up as I leaned forward….
Kennedy: “I didn’t mean that.”
Dr. Ross: “Yes you did and that is where the problem lies here, denial. What happened that night?”
Kennedy: “I struck them both, laid them out and left the ring. I was damn proud of it too. After the hell those two have put me through? I felt justified. In hindsight, I probably shouldn’t have done it and instead called the match like a true professional.”
Dr. Ross: “Do you really feel that way, Kennedy?”
Kennedy: “I don’t know how I’m supposed to feel right now.”
Dr. Ross: “Any…. Regrets?”
Kennedy: “…… no.”
Dr. Ross: “And then what occurred after that?”
Kennedy: “I went back to my hotel room. Sat there for a little while, then decided to go down to the Atrium for a drink. Jonny was still finishing things up at the arena. I need you to understand something Doctor Ross, I have some special fans that I care a lot about, one of them is a young woman that almost died and with the help of myself and another wrestler, that being Blake Mason, we were able to get her the operation she needed. She has been my fan for a long time and to see the smile on her face, reminds me of the same joy that I get when Sonia does. Megan and her family are special to me, I made them a promise, I told them all that I would be there to fight for them just days before I lost to Chris and now? What kind of hero am I? I’m tired of hearing the same bullshit line, that it’s how we respond to adversity, I have been responding to adversity for long enough, it is time that I get results!”
Again, I caught myself getting a little carried away, I needed to stop and realize that things were not going to fix themselves, I had to fix them instead. Slowly she was creeping out, her thoughts were starting to invade mine. My mother was right, I was lying to myself and I needed to stop it before it was too late. I was not going to prove Katya right. She wanted Bitchy Kennie, she got it, there was no way she was going to get Keenie…..
Because if she did, I would burn her whole world to the ground….
Dr. Ross: “You are worried, contradicting your thoughts and feelings.”
Kennedy: “Do you know what I did that night, Dr. Ross? I will tell you. I sat down and had a few drinks, I played on my phone, wore some comfy clothes without a care in the world because I was proud of myself. How stupid is that?”
Dr. Ross: “Depends, if you didn’t have regrets. Is that something Kennedy would do?”
Kennedy: “I don’t know anymore. So, I sat there and stared at my drink, glass of Merlot, I’m a woman with simple tastes under duress. To be honest, it was the first time in a long time I felt like a winner. I didn’t even win anything Doc, I exacted a little revenge on two women that have hurt me and my loved ones recently. Funny thing is, there I am sitting, minding my own business and the man who Chris is going to fight comes up to me, he didn’t have a good night either.”
Dr. Ross: “This is?”
Kennedy: “Blake.”
Dr. Ross: “Right, Blake. Are you two friends?”
Kennedy: “Not anymore. I used to love him like a brother. We used to be friends with benefit, before I loved him like a brother, that would just be weird and we’re not from West Virginia or anything like that. He turned his back on me, goes back to the days he was married with Bree. When Megan was sick, Blake had clout. He helped get her on the donors list and help me pay for the surgery. He had been gone for a while, fired by Katya. He returned last week…..”
Dr. Ross: “And how did you feel about seeing him?”
Kennedy: “I Felt…….”
I didn’t know how to explain it, a mixture of hatred and empathy…..
Breakdown
Louisville, Kentucky
2.6.19
Staring at my drink, the thought of kicking Sienna in the face and then stomping Bree’s smug face on the mat brought a smile to mine while I contemplated posting something on Twitter, decided against it. I missed my sister traveling with me. I wasn’t on that level with Regan or Mikaela and with the mood she was in, she’d definitely not be the best company after Datura bailed, at least for now. There was Donovan… and then there was…..
Blake?
Blake: “Hey, by yourself? Waiting for Jonathan?”
Kennedy: “No, he’s doing some things at the arena still, he’ll be here in a little while. Christy?”
Blake: “I was showering, when I walked out, she was asleep on the bed. I shut off the TV and made my way down here to grab a bite to eat though I’m not really hungry, so I don’t know why I am down here. May I join you?”
Kennedy: “If I say no, you’ll sit anyway.”
Blake: “No I won’t, I’ll leave you alone.”
Kennedy: “Okay… no.”
He smiled and sat down anyway, I knew he would, jackass. I wasn’t exactly dressed to hang out with anyone, jeans, flip flops and a t-shirt, I didn’t care. My hair was in a ponytail, he looked dapper as always, who am I kidding he looked ready to run the obstacle course on American Ninja Warrior….
Blake: “Long time no talk.”
Kennedy: “Cut the crap, honey. What do you want?”
Blake: “I’m just making small talk.”
Kennedy: “Right. Sorry, I’m just a little on edge and you didn’t deserve that, then again maybe you did for being an asshole to me for so long…..”
This is her talking, I need to cool my jets….
Kennedy: “…. Look, Forget it…. how’s your neck?”
Blake: “I’ll live. Not happy about losing….. at least Chris ran out for the save and he accepted my challenge at Retribution.”
Kennedy: “You both get what you wanted, hooray.”
Blake: “Kennie, I get it.”
Kennedy: “Maybe, I guess if anyone understands what I am going through is you.”
Blake: “Kennie, unlike you what you are going through is a small slump, nothing you can’t fix. Every match that you have gone to in defeat you’ve been in it the whole time. Bound By Blood doesn’t count. You had the performance of the night. Breakdown a few weeks ago? Triple Threat, anything can happen.”
Kennedy: “Yeah… anything.”
Blake: “Are you okay?”
Kennedy: “Fine, why?”
Blake: “Because you are really taking this Bitchy Kennie thing to a whole new level and I am wondering if that is really your intentions or does Katya and the rest have you riled up so much, you don’t see it?”
He could tell. Blake Mason is a lot of things. Entrepreneur, businessman, wealthy, smooth talker, arrogant prick, handsome and an egotist but one thing he is not, stupid…..
Kennedy: “They deserved it.”
Blake: “I’m not saying they didn’t. Kennedy…. I miss your friendship.”
It was only a matter of time before he would cross that bridge and the last thing, I wanted to get engaged with was this. I missed him too, there was no doubt about it but unlike him, unlike most people I can’t forget those who hurt me. It’s a bad trait I know. I wasn’t ready for this. I started to stand up, he grabbed my hand gently and though I wanted to pull away, I didn’t….
Blake: “Please stay, if only for a few minutes, please Kennie.”
I didn’t want to, he didn’t deserve it, he didn’t…..
Damn it. I sat back down….
Blake: “Thank you. I did you wrong. You didn’t deserve that. I know that you are going through a lot right now, but I am happy that you and Jonathan are working out, that things with Sonia are better. Megan was her name?”
Kennedy: “She’s good, thanks to you.”
Blake: “No, you. I just wanted to tell you that I was sorry.”
Lowering my head, I couldn’t even look at him. My eyes started to tear up a little, I don’t know why. He was one of my best friends, I could talk to him about anything, he kept me sane, he kept her at bay, I wanted to punch him for the shit he put me through but stomping his ex-wife’s face really felt good and I think he knows that too…..
Blake: “Kennedy….”
Raising my head and looking him right in the eye, he knew the turmoil I was going through, the fight that was inside of me I was scared to show my husband and daughter. I was truly scared, he could see it in my eyes, lips quivering like stuck in a winter storm with nothing warm to wear. He tried to grab my hand again this time I pulled it away….
Kennedy: “Just stop, I can’t do this right now. I have too much going on…..”
Blake: “Kennie….”
Kennedy: “I’m not crazy, Blake.”
Blake: “I never said you were.”
Kennedy: “I hate this, I hate her coming out, I can’t control her at times, that doesn’t make me crazy, Blake.”
Blake: “No one ever said you were. What is happening? Her? You mean Keenie?”
Kennedy: “Don’t say her name. I have to go.”
Blake: “Let me at least walk you to your room?”
Kennedy: “Blake, no. I am trying to deal with some feelings right now that I don’t know how to contain them. What happened tonight, I was just in doing so.”
Blake: “You were.”
Kennedy: “Those bitches didn’t deserve it honey. None of them did. Sienna, Bree, Syren, Ravyn, the Truelove Twins, NONE OF THEM do. Maybe I just had enough. I’m entitled to have a boiling point too, you know?”
Blake: “We all get there Kennie….”
I was rambling on, not knowing or even comprehending what I was saying to him or even to myself. I quickly caught myself and stopped. Took a deep breath and kissed him on the cheek….
Blake: “What was that for?”
Kennedy: “My way of a peace offering. Now, I have to go.”
Blake: “Wait, you’re not okay…..”
Kennedy: “No…. I’m not but tonight felt good and it’s a start, honey.”
Blake: “Can I call you sometime? Maybe meet up for lunch or something, catch up? Maybe finally meet Sonia? Bring Jonathan too.”
Kennedy: “Jonny thinks you’re a douche, honey.”
Blake: “Yeah, I knew that.”
Kennedy: “One step at a time. You’re not out of the dog house with me…. I just…..”
Blake: “I know. I’ll be there for you when you need it.”
All I could do was smile and walk away, I could have stood there and talked to him some more, but I needed space. Things moving too fast wouldn’t benefit anyone here. Besides, I knew that Blake going down there wasn’t random, I could see Christy looking down, the beauty of the hotel having an Atrium….
Los Angeles, CA.
2.11.19
Twiddling my thumbs like the old days in detention, yes honey I wasn’t always the good gal I am now, which is reality is an oxymoron. Thinking back to that night, I did miss Blake, I can’t deny that anymore. Maybe our friendship will grow again, I don’t have the first clue. Dr. Ross was writing a few things down, it kind of bothered me, looking over to see if there was anyway of getting a glance….
Dr. Ross: “So you and Blake are fine, now?”
Kennedy: “A work in progress.”
Dr. Ross: “I take it he understands Keenie?”
Kennedy: “He probably dealt with that more than anyone especially at an intimate level.”
Dr. Ross: “Is this what you feel is the strongest bond of the relationship, the sex?”
Kennedy: “No, God no. That was a long time ago and besides, he doesn’t work by the hour let’s put it that way. Blake understands me, he gets the reason I go through these things. In many ways we are a lot of like, a bit neurotic, I guess? I see you writing down a lot of things Dr. Ross, am I crazy, honey?”
He lowered his pad and looked me straight in the eyes…
Dr. Ross: “Kennedy, what kind of character are you portraying on the show you’re filming?”
Kennedy: “A villainess, evil and conniving. A manipulative bitch. Very nasty.
Dr. Ross: “Kennedy, I treat a lot of actors and people in your line of profession and I understand exactly what you are going through. It is easy to sometimes get lost in emotions, a defense mechanism goes up and suddenly you find yourself struggling with that part of your personality you keep hidden. We all have two sides, some are more extreme than others. In your case, you started to act back in October?”
Kennedy: “Yes.”
Dr. Ross: “Your troubles started in September, so just a month into your new acting career, things started to become a little more difficult. When you started playing this role, it triggered this “Keenie” personality you talk about, the conniving, manipulative villainess felt comfortable and natural for you to act as because let’s face it, you have played that role for many years. It is not uncommon for actors to struggle breaking character, they find it extremely hard to connect back with the real world, encased in this fantastical existence instead and with your current slump, the feeling of worthlessness for being hurt and not able to compete, playing benchwarmer to a woman you clearly do not like and losing to wrestlers you feel could defeat, that is the paradox you find yourself in. This blend of two worlds has created a stress that you’re not even aware of, the character you play, this Keenie you portrayed before and the woman you are now are struggling for time and you need to find that balance.”
Kennedy: “How?”
Dr. Ross: “I am going to give you my opinion as how to start moving these wheels in motion, are you ready?”
Kennedy: “Please honey, you’re not cheap by the hour.”
Dr. Ross: “Start with Chris Cannon.”
My eyes widen, I didn’t fully understand what he was trying to tell me, but I had no choice but to listen if I was going to get better and fight this. It is why I came to him in the first place, it was a battle I was losing. I didn’t even want to tell him that I was speaking to myself in the bathroom, luckily no one was home….
Kennedy: “How?”
Dr. Ross: “Talk to him. You say he is your family, at least married into it, most of the bitterness you have is because of him, at least recently. There are plenty of others and factors, I think what you did last week to Bree and Sienna helped a little, it was therapeutic. Now, go talk to Chris.”
Kennedy: “I don’t know.”
Dr. Ross: “I gave you my advice. Talk to him, tell him how you feel and that is all. See if that helps. Now, I’d like to see you again, become a regular patient of mine.”
Kennedy: “Are you saying I’m mental?”
Dr. Ross: “Not at all but I can help you beat this if you let me.”
Kennedy: “You will? I mean, I never really had a shrink before.”
Dr. Ross: “I’m not a shrink, I’m that friend no one knows about. So, how about when you return?”
Kennedy: “Okay, I can do that.”
Dr. Ross: “Good and Kennedy.”
Kennedy: “Yes?”
Dr. Ross: “You’re not crazy.”
That brought a smile to my face. I was starting to trust Dr. Ross Palkia though I still wasn’t sold on everything he told me. I mean, maybe he was right, acting did this, triggered those feelings, it’s too much fun being the bad gal, it’s why I’m so drawn to Keenie. I shook his hand and walked out, I didn’t think anything of it, walking to my car and go home, I was tired, needed a nap…
And then it donned on me. Maybe he was right….
Maybe I needed to go see Chris.
Hermosa Beach, CA.
Thirty Minutes Later
I arrived at the Cannon’s home. It was a beautiful area, loved their backyard being the beach. I left my purse in the car, stepped out and walked up the front door, I could see through the side panel windows, Chris and Kelcey both out in the back. Instead of knocking, I walked around the side, open the side door where Elvis came running up to me, he’s a cute dog, petting him a little. The sand was thick, I slipped off my boots, it felt nice under my feet as I walked up in plain sight. Chris looked like he had seen a ghost when I came through the side gate, Kelcey turned and was shocked too. She quickly hugged me….
Kelcey: “Kennedy! We didn’t expect you here, is everything alright?”
Kennedy: “Of course honey, I just need to talk to your husband.”
Kelcey: “Chris? About what?”
Kennedy: “I don’t want to come across as rude, but it’s between him and I.”
I might have added a little too much sauce to that sentence, the tone was a little off and I could see Kelcey wasn’t fond of it….
Kelcey: “I… uh….. look Kennedy…..”
Chris: “It’s alright love, I’ve got a few things I want to talk to her about as well so now’s as good a time as ever.”
Kennedy: “You do… I mean of course, you do.”
I quickly followed that up with a smile….
Kelcey: “Okay. In that case can I get you something to drink? I have some fresh sun tea?”
Kennedy: “Sun tea would be nice though I won’t be here long, it’s just a quick visit.”
Kelcey: “Okay, be right back.”
Kelcey was so pregnant I couldn’t see how much longer she was going to carry that baby, honey. Her face was beaming though, she was happy and that’s all what counted in the end and she certainly needed that happiness after all she had been through. But after turning back for the reason I was here, there was Chris standing in front of me with his chest out, all shirtless with his abs and all his hotness…..
What am I thinking, focus honey, Jonathan is hot too and has a helluva body, He’s Superboy, Cannon is Superman. He walks up to me, very humble which made me want to kick him in the face….
Chris: “Look Kennedy…. I know that things haven’t been right between us….”
Kennedy: “Stop right there. While this is your castle, I really need to speak first and then you can tell me whatever you want.”
Chris: “Okay, please take a seat.”
Now I was here I had a lot of thoughts going through my mind. This wasn’t easy, I thought about what I wanted to say on the drive here, should have stopped at home first, even allowing Kiki to play the role of Chris Cannon my poor little darling for practice… it would have helped I think, deep breaths Kennedy you can do this…
Kennedy: “I know a lot of what people are saying about me, but I want you and I to get one thing straight. I was never upset that you won that match on January 9th at Breakdown. In fact, I know I don’t say this often enough to people, but It was an honor for me to wrestle you and Owen in the Main Event of Breakdown.”
Chris: “I feel the same way.”
Of course, you do… I nodded in agreement, of course he did why wouldn’t he? He was in the ring with me…
Kennedy: “Then we had the icing on the cake when Mr. D come out and give us that endorsement after Katya clearly was going to try and fire us.”
Chris didn’t respond this time, he only nodded listening to what I had to say, not many seemed to do that these days…
Kennedy: “But honestly what angered and aggravated me the most was you.”
Chris: “…Me?”
Kennedy: “Yes honey, on THAT night you decided to finally show the REAL Chris Cannon to the world and me, carelessly you hurt me to the point that I couldn’t compete at Making Things Right.”
Chris: “Okay… I understand but that was never my intention to injure you Kennedy. I wouldn’t do that, it’s the last thing I’d want to do to someone I see as family.”
Kennedy: “I wanted to believe that honey but Bound by Blood was still fresh in my mind we could have used THAT version of you then in the match.”
Chris: “I wish I could have given you it back then, but I had a lot on my mind as you know, the last few months have been trying and I’ve had enough. I’m sorry that I hurt you…”
Kennedy: “I know that now, but I wanted you to know that was why. I felt I had a reason to be bitter. I had to sit at home with your wife and watch helplessly when I could have done something to help, and that conniving little twat wouldn’t be in charge.”
Chris: “Trust me I know better than most…”
Kennedy: “And then Syren possibly wouldn’t be World Champion, Regan maybe wouldn’t have lost to Datura. I could have actually been there to support my family when they chanted my name and I never came out to help Owen and it was ALL because of YOU!”
Chris: “I know….”
Kelcey walked out, she heard me talking louder, as I dropped my boots in the sand. Chris was obviously much taller than me, so I pointed at him, looking up right into his eyes….
Kennedy: “… no you don’t.”
Chris: “Actually I do. You seem to forget I missed almost two years and the most important ones of my wife’s career as she had to retire, and I could never help her in the time of need. I watched her fight my battles and go through hell as I sat and could do nothing but watch. See I know exactly how you feel, and I am so sorry for that because no one should go through it, especially you. You have worked so hard for your spot on the roster, you worked so hard to regain everyone’s respect and now it’s in danger all due to Katya. You should have been at Making Things Right, love and I denied you that. It isn’t much but I will make it up to you anyway I can.”
I was being stupid and selfish acting like he didn’t understand. He knew better than anyone the pain and agony of missing time and events that we could have made a difference. I was so angry, she was trying to get me to that I couldn’t see what was happening in front of my face. Kelcey walked up, the concern painted all over her beautiful features….
Kennedy: “Last week, I had a chance to do something right or wrong, I chose wrong because I am tired of this shit. I am struggling inside and don’t know if I can win this time. I came here for one reason, to tell you Chris, that I forgive you. None of this was your fault, I found someone to blame because I’m hurt, confused and looking for an answer that made sense and you were an easy target for me. I kicked Sienna in the face and stomped Bree into the mat for Kelcey.”
Her eyes widen, even he was surprised….
Kennedy: “…. And for your son, Christian. I have a daughter of my own now, I get it. I didn’t do it for you. I saw what happened at Cedars, I was there. I’m letting you handle that on your own, it’s your battle. I will say this though, I want you to make me a promise, you say you want to make things up to me?”
Chris: “If I’m able to, of course.”
Kennedy: “Fine, after this Katya and Dark Fantasy crap. After Xander and Blake Mason, after The Beauty Factory, Bree and Sienna is all over? Promise me a match, one on one, no Owen, no BS. You and me.”
He stood there quietly not saying anything, I thought he was about to tell me no. The old me would have just to spite me. Instead he did what I knew he would, he nods and extends his hand. Hesitating it took me a moment to finally shake it. It’s what I wanted. I picked up my boots and turned to Kelcey….
Kelcey: “Thank you. I know things haven’t been easy, but I’m glad you two have talked this over. I love you so much and hate seeing you in pain.”
Kennedy: “I love you too honey, I love you both… It’s just been hard for me lately…”
Kelcey: “I know, just like I know you’re going to win this in the end.”
Kennedy: “I hope so, honey…”
After a smile, I made my way toward the side gate again, stopping and turning back to Chris….
Kennedy: “Chris, I have your back. I always did.”
Chris: “Thank you.”
Your welcome, but you could keep your thanks, I didn’t deserve them. After leaving the house I didn’t even bother putting my boots back on, getting into the car and sitting there for a second waiting to see if it made me feel any better…..
Gripping on the steering wheel, my eyes slowly shifted toward the rear-view mirror and all I could see was her smiling at me….
Was Keenie my self-destruction…?
Or my salvation.
Katya was soon going to find out.
SCENE FADES
“Was that really necessary honey?
You don’t need to talk to anyone for help or guidance, we all know that you could rob a bank, run over a lady pushing a baby carriage or shopping at Wal-Mart and everyone would forgive you especially Jonny and Sonia, honey. The SCW faithful are sold on who you are and what you’ve been doing. Long gone are the days of Flawless GOODness and Ethan von Aaron guidance us to the promise land, you kicked him to the curb along with Maximillian and Carlos, remember?
Did you know that Trump deported Carlos and is building a wall to keep him out? Had you kept him close, her would have been okay since we are the Sexy Flawless Diva. We should call Maximillian at least, you’ve let your feet go honey, Carlos would be of no use anyway if he was around and it’s going to take a sander to make them Sexy Flawless Feet Again.
Losing to Chris Cannon broke you, didn’t it?
Finally, we get Trinity on our side even after ruining her marriage, didn’t we drug her once too… no wait that was someone else, my long-term memory is shot sometimes, it’s like Keenie became CHBK on repeat without the receding hairline. Do you remember the GOOD times? Or has it become a figment of your imagination? Tell me again how humiliated you were so much that Katya even put the footage on the beginning of Breakdown to stick it in your pooper, honey. Come on, tell me. Or maybe the two times you were knocked out cold by Sienna Swann? Or getting pinned by Paris Truelove….
Wait for it, PARIS TRUELOVE who isn’t even a singles wrestler!?
Would that happen to Keenie?”
“Please stop, I’m not listening to this anymore.”
“Oh, but you have to, there is no choice in the matter. All Keenie wants is that you admit to me that you were humiliated, that is it. Tell me the truth. Keenie is not the kind of girl who can wait until Christmas morning to unwrap her present. So, come on, don’t hold back, tell me the truth.”
“You want the truth?”
“Ummm… duh! Don’t lie to me though honey, we both know some lies are good lies, that’s what families do. Now, spill it.”
“Yes, I was humiliated and every time I see that intro, I’m reminded of it. Are you happy now? Let’s just get one thing straight, I’m not mad at Chris Cannon for winning, you know damn well why I am mad, he didn’t do anything wrong….”
“Except crack your ribs and take you out of Making Things Right where you could have been the difference in Katya being in charge!”
“No! Not this time, not anymore! You are not going to win so don’t try to create something that isn’t real. Leave me alone!”
“Oh but this is real, it is very real. Here you are, former bitch asking for my forgiveness. Please don’t let the message get lost because Keenie’s perfect physically.”
“Oh, go to Hell honey!”
PROMO TIME HONEY
BITCHY KENNIE
The Scene Opens…
International Drive is a busy commercial area, home to the city’s convention center and near to popular theme parks, including Walt Disney World and SeaWorld. Also, in the area is the Coca-Cola Orlando Eye, a giant Ferris wheel offering sweeping views of the city. Premium outlet malls, large hotels and a variety of restaurants—from steakhouses to fast-casual chains—add to the busy atmosphere. Here is where we find Kennedy Street, the Sexy Flawless Diva of wrestling. Behind her is Wonderworks, an upside museum as she strolls down the famous I-Drive as the locals like to call it. The 2019 campaign has not started the way she had hoped, taking a loss to Chris Cannon in a triple threat that also involved Owen Cruze where she had Own ready for a submission, taking her eyes off Chris and he was able to spear them both, pinning the two at the same time for the pinfall….
Kennedy didn’t take too kindly to that.
Especially since the move also hurt her ribs and she was out of action for three weeks and missed the PPV, Making Things Right where she could have made a difference in the outcome of Katya and Sasha’s power struggle. It was obvious that Katya didn’t care for her and was actually enjoying Kennedy’s plight at the moment and her professional struggles after Main Eventing RTG last year and seeing herself going into a mini slump and not having the success she’s accustomed too, while others would not look at it that way, Kennedy lives by a certain standard and while she ended the 2018 year with a huge win along with her sister against the Truelove Twins, since then she hasn’t been able to find the winning column and it doesn’t get any easier against the dangerous Ruby Amarant, one half of the Red Empire. Was confronted by Katya, egged on, she almost struck her at the Breakdown after she lost but Trinity saved her and, in the process, took the bullet and has not been seen since as many suspect she was suspended while Katya is in charge. Kennedy now needs to focus, being the referee last week in the bout between best friends, Bree Lancaster and Sienna Swann for the right to a rematch for the World and United States Championship, Kennedy took it upon herself to make Katya think a little about her decisions as she made sure there was no clear cut winner, laying both women that she has been feuding with on the mats as she walked off….
Bitchy Kennie was front and center.
Wearing jeans, open toed wedge sandals and an off-white blouse with large sleeves, her long blonde hair hanging down and nails polished a baby pink, the gorgeous Kennedy stops as the camera starts to record….
REC:
She takes a moment to collect her thoughts before she looks around, lowering her sunglasses and not exactly being in the best of moods, speaking in her sexy voice….
“Orlando, Florida….
International Drive. I remember as a teenager coming out here with my friends, I thought it was the coolest thing then. So many restaurants, shops and tourists traps, the miniature golf course, Pirates Cove down the street, Mystery Fun House, Wet and Wild, it was all part of my childhood at a time when things in life were a lot simpler, when I wasn’t going around soul-searching, lost in my own psyche, a dilemma I have seen play out over and over in my head for the last six months. Life is good when things go right, Life is enjoyable, when you are the center of attention, life is worth every single minute when you get what you want by hard work, dedication and set your mind to one single purpose….
Success….
Whether in the ring or outside of it.
When it takes a turn for the worse though, that is when our mettle is tested, a woman like me needs to find answers and quickly because like an avalanche once it starts it just doesn’t seem to stop at any rate. I can stand here and talk about my string of “bad luck” as many might call it, my little mini-slump and what I have had to deal with. Adversity always plays a huge role when it comes to our victories and defeats, where we stand in a company like the SCW, how we respond to situations that allow us to react and see if Kennedy Street was ever ready for the spotlight?
Yes, I was and yes, I am still there.
It took me a little while to understand what exactly was going on here. There are forces outside who do not want to see me be anything other than where I am now. A woman that has tumbled a little, found herself in a peculiar position, fighting to get back to the top that was taken from me within an instant after the greatest night of my professional career. I can’t come out here anymore and talk to you about redemption stories, this is far from that now. I think I have been proving myself time and time again that I am Kennedy Street, I’m not lying to my intentions, I love my fans, the people that support and bust their ass for this company, a man like Mr. D who saw the REAL Kennie and not Keenie giving me the chance to show him the decisions he made to resign me were not in vain even if it meant that his youngest daughter hated my guts and used her clout to influence matches, results and the overall product the SCW is used to putting out on a regular basis….
Because win or lose lately, Katya I am the biggest threat you have in this company….
You and I both know it honey.
I could lose my next ten matches, I could find myself far and away from the World Title because you will make sure of it but one thing I think we all forget is I have a rematch for that Title in my back pocket and if history has taught us anything, it doesn’t matter what matches I won or lost, at what state of my career I was in or the emotion…..
I’m a World Champion Syren Killer and that scares the hell out of you.
Twice I have taken that same title you robbed Sienna Swann of, and I will call a spade a spade though we all have the same consensus here, I despise Sienna too. I finished 2018 strong with a win over the Truelove Twins along with my sister, Trinity, I felt positive walking into 2019, Chris Cannon showed me otherwise and took me out of Making Things Right where deep down inside you were planning to send a gift basket to him Katya for I guarantee you that had I been competing at the PPV, this whole conversation would have been a moot point….
You’d never been in charge honey.
And before I continue, I was mad at Chris Cannon, not because he beat me, he finally showed what he could do against Owen Cruze and I, no and while that was an embarrassing moment for a woman like me who is proud to be a competitor being pinned with Owen and somehow that makes its way to the beginning of the Breakdown package which I’m sure you had something to do with Katya, I will tell you this….
Thank you.
For each time I see it all it does is motivate me more and more to go through every single one of your goons and lemmings until all that is left is Syren and YOU. I already spoke to Chris in private, we are straight, he agreed that after all this bullshit is over, he and I will go one on one and then he can prove to me without any shadow of a doubt that he’s better than Kennedy Street….
Until then?
It looks like I need to get back on the winning track and I can’t think of a better way to do so than with one of your loyal followers, Katya….
Ruby Amarant.”
The fired up and yet focused Kennedy Street is serious, she is determined and most of all she is ready to get back to her winning ways. Any and every match in SCW is tough, she knows it and so she must be ready and prepared for anything especially when Katya is involved. Now that her ribs are healthy and healed, Kennedy is chomping at the bit but there is more to it than meets the eye, the battle she is having with a darker force within her. She looks back at the camera and speaks….
“At the last Breakdown I was put in a situation where I became the referee for a match to determine who would get a rematch for the World Title or even the United States Championship. Let’s make one thing clear, first off Bree Lancaster LOST to Selena Frost, she didn’t let Selena win, she was beaten in the middle of the ring and can’t stand the fact she had her title taken by the bigger woman. Bree has been watching old Keenie matches, that was the type of bullshit she would have said. Sienna on the other hand was robbed of her title. I respect Sienna’s ability in the ring, same with Bree, a woman that I have felt her worst and is one of the most talented ladies though I use that term loosely to ever compete in the SCW. Do they deserve rematches?
Yes.
Selena would agree, she’s a fighting Champion and it’s 1-1, there should be a rubber match. Sienna should get the rematch for the World Championship, logic might tell you that I want to be the one to take the belt from Sienna as I have already done so from Syren twice before and trust me, she doesn’t want to face me again. I could have done nothing and allowed them to wrestle, seeing how they wanted to make a mockery of the match to begin with, I stopped it quickly and when Sienna had Bree down, I could have made the three count….
I could have but I didn’t.
Do you know why?
Ask Katya.
Same question goes to you Ruby Amarant, why would a woman like me who believes in playing by the rules and has spent the last two plus years trying to convince the entire roster and fan base that I am a woman of honor and my word is bond would then turn around and give Sienna a “Touch of Class” and knock her clean out and then “Pedicure” Bree Lancaster and leave her facial imprint on the mat?
It’s a simple answer, really…..
Katya asked for it.
Now the boss’s daughter needs to start making some decisions, no longer is she going to get it easy, things don’t just fall into place because honestly, your father will always be the one who has done what is best for this company and not you. All you care about is getting revenge on someone like me, talking ill about a sick woman like Kelcey Wallace because she was more of a daughter to him than you ever were. Sure, throw what we have done to Mr. D in the past in our faces, bottom line?
What you are doing now, any better?
No, it’s worse for you’ve taken the World Championship hostage with a group of individuals who are the biggest pieces of shit this company has ever seen, the same ones that tried to destroy my character and set me up. So, what does this mean for you Ruby?
It means that you get more than Kennedy Street, the “Sexy Flawless Diva”, it means more that you get a determined woman ready to take her place among the elite again and be part of the “conversation” even if I fell out of the gate to start 2019. It means that Scarlet Grey can’t help you, it means while you get a shot at the Trios Tournament with Giovanni Aries, the man I defeated at Rise to Greatness and Damian Angel, the father of my adopted daughter, two individuals you know well while I was SNUBBED again for the tournament and I’m sure Katya may have played a hand in that?
This is my Trios.
See Ruby, I can stand here and run you down, honey. Talk about how you enabled your obsessive partner to go after Aaron Blackbourne and his woman, Liane Forte. How the Red Empire became a force in the tag team division, hoping that the Street Legacy would one day get a chance to meet up which Katya would never let happen. I want you to understand something though Ruby, this could have been a great match between two contrasting styles and instead its about two people who are on the opposite sides of the fence and you are on the wrong side of history.”
Kennedy paces some, looking down at the ground and thinking of what to say to Ruby though she has never had issue or even really crossed path with a woman like her and the Sexy Flawless Diva welcomes it. This is more about sticking it to Katya than anything, Ruby has shown her loyalty, even talking about winning the Trios to ensure that Katya stays in charge. Kennedy will have nothing to do with that. She turns back to the camera and speaks….
“The week after I was injured in my match against Owen Cruze and Chris Cannon, the same match I’m pretty sure Katya was going to fire or suspend me, she called me out to the ring and started to berate me. She taunted hard as she could, pushed every button possible Ruby, tore me down at the seams, wanting so badly for me to throw away everything I preached, all I had become for a single moment to prove that I was some fake or could be easily rattled. The losses and the struggles I had experienced lately had nothing to do with that Ruby….
Katya did.
See, Katya asked for something, she wanted to see Bitchy Kennie or maybe even the manifestation of Keenie herself and you might be thinking to yourself, is this woman crazy? Is she talking about a figment of her personality like it is a real person? Oh, you see Ruby, what I become is VERY real and Katya wanted it, she thought that by unleashing my deepest and darkest feelings, it would become a hindrance to me and make Kennedy Street look like a fraud and scapegoat in front of these fans. What she didn’t take into account was that this was not about tearing me down, it wasn’t about discrediting what I had become….
It was pure jealousy.
My sister sacrificed herself so that I wouldn’t do anything stupid. Now I have to stand here without her until things blow over and Katya is no longer in charge. I have a chip on my shoulder, Ruby, I’m not going to lie to you honey, I’m not coming to Breakdown in my old stomping grounds where I grew up in front of my childhood friends and family, the supporters who have taken the time to see me become the woman I am to lose or even to just “wrestle”.
I’m coming to fight and make an emphatic statement to the SCW and in front of the world that NO ONE is going to hold me down and every action will get a reaction.
Katya asked for Bitchy Kennie?
She got it!
Katya wanted to see the other side of Kennedy Street?
She got it!
Katya wanted to bring out the worse in the Sexy Flawless Diva?
She got it!
You want people to remember your name? They will after this week as Katya will NOW see her army fall one by one and it starts with YOU, Ruby. I can’t allow someone like you to get a victory and go back to her and gloat, I’m sure there is a lot of incentive here to try and take me out or even just humiliate me further in hopes that I break and just walk away or even give up? No, see what Katya did was burn a fire in me that was starting to dim. A few months ago I was contemplating leaving the SCW for a movie career, maybe do something different with my life and then she came along and on January 16th of this year, it was what I needed and in her going through that little tantrum, in her breaking me down in front of the whole world by egging me on to strike her and instead Trinity did and then I had to watch my husband leave his duties to make sure I was okay only for him to be viciously attacked a few weeks later?
THAT made me realize that I WAS GOING NOWHERE.
It filled me with vigor and desire like I have never felt before and most of all?
It awakened her.
So, what does that mean for you? All I see is Katya in you, Ruby, I see a woman that sold herself out for an easy way to the top taking the path of least resistance, a woman that rather kiss up to a little spoiled, and delusional brat than actually earn her keep but then again after watching how you and your partner have acted in recent months, I can’t really pretend to be surprised. So instead I will be honest with you Ruby, it’s all I really have left.
Your boss….
Not mine.
Which is why I find it ironic you call me a puppet when Katya has her hand so far up your ass, you actually sound like her. She has pushed and pushed that now I am pushing back. I am DONE struggling, I am DONE taking a backseat to ANYONE, I am done being the nice gal and trying to be respectful to those that don’t deserve it. I AM a former World Champion and I will BE ONE AGAIN! She wanted Bitchy Kennie? Ask Bree and Sienna if they saw her? And then after our match, after I beat your ass from pillar to post, after I show the World that Kennedy Street will not BOW down to NO ONE! After what has happened at making Things Right where I didn’t get my chance to let my voice be heard and make a difference?
My contributions start NOW, with YOU and at Breakdown I will show you Ruby that I’m not a shell of my former self or someone who lost her edge, if anything? I’m breaking out of mine and Katya with Dark Fantasy watching closely that I am more than just a Sexy Flawless Diva. I don’t need help to get back to the top like a certain World Champion did, I will do it on my own and why….
I’m THE SYREN KILLER and your worst nightmare, honey!”
Her eyes slowly start to narrow, biting down on her jaw….
“Namaste THAT you bitches!”
Without another word, Kennedy backs up and walks away.
FADE TO BLACK
