“Back to Our Regularly Scheduled Ass Kicking!”

Chelsea’s 2022 was already off to a great start as the rookie wrestler had picked up her second win in PWE, albeit over Ollie the cat! However, the former Olympic Gymnast wasn’t getting a chance to relax just yet as at the next Victory she was facing Holly Rhoades in singles competition! Like Chelsea, Holly is still new to the business and was one of the first wrestlers to join PWE when the promotion first opened but unlike Chelsea Holly was tall and a power based wrestler, can Chelsea outpace the stronger woman on her way to her third win?

They say that it’s not how you start, it’s how you finish, well my new year is already off to a good start.

To elaborate, I won my first ever title over at Rev1’s Christmas Chaos Event and I did exactly as I promised, I beat Ollie the cat by yeeting him out of the ring, just don’t ask how I hit a cat with a Slingblade because I’m not sure how I pulled that off myself!

Still, things can only go up from here right? I finally broke my losing streak in PWE before the year ended and whilst it was over a feline, that second win over Ollie still counts towards a win in my book and at the second Victory of the New Year I’m getting a chance to continue that win streak against Holly Rhoades! She’s taller than me (then again so are most women I’ve met in this business) and is definitely stronger, but she’s also coming off a loss.

I mean yeah, Holly wasn’t pinned at the last Victory but my point still stands, I have two wins in a row to my name, she has a loss to her name, says it all really.

“Did you really have to Slingblade the cat out of the ring?” Julian asked once he saw me jamming with Taylor whilst Sarah watched on, we were all wearing the new Krawling Khaos shirts that had come in, though I was wearing the sleeveless crop top version, Sarah was wearing the crop top with the sleeves version and Taylor was just wearing the regular version. “Just saying!”

”That damn cat attacked me first, what was I supposed to do? Let that 15ibs ball of terror claw my fucking eyes out?!” I pointed out and Julian went to respond but my band’s bassist realized that I was right. ”Besides, aren’t we here to put the finishing touches on Church of the Red Harvest instead of arguing the semantics of me wrestling a cat?”

”Let’s just be glad that the match against Ollie is likely to be a one off, unless Chelsea opens her mouth on Twitter about him again.” Sarah pointed out and the others nodded in agreement. ”Throne to the Insane was our attempt at Death/Doom so maybe our next couple of tracks should be something faster?”

”To try to balance things out? Yeah, I can get behind that.” I nodded in response before realizing something. ”Julian the match against Ollie has been out for a week, how are you JUST noticing how it ended?”

“We’ve been busy recording stuff for Halothrone’s debut album.” Trent explained as our drummer hopped behind the drum kit. “We literally caught up on our wrestling viewership this morning.”

“Same here, but I was able to catch Victory live.” Taylor added as she started tuning her guitar ready for the recording session. “All I’ll say about the Ollie match is that I’m glad you didn’t hit him with the Skyes the Limit.”

”Well yeah, crushing the boss’s kitty would’ve been a fast track to a pink slip.” I nodded in agreement and the bandmates laughed a bit. ”Well, I have some song ideas in my head I just need to get them down, and no, there’s no problematic lyrics this time.”

“I hope not, otherwise we might need to mutiny.” Julian responded with a grin though I wasn’t sure if he was joking or not, regardless we went on to focus on getting those song ideas ironed out.

*promo time*

Let’s get this out of the way first.

”I don’t normally make a habit of going back and rewatching my old matches, especially if that match ended with my arm raised in victory, but after how crappy I felt following the match against Ollie I went back and rewatched it, all I’m going to say is fuck everyone who rooted for that demon cat and fuck Ollie in particular! He attacked me first, that Slingblade was in Self-Defence! Seriously would you have preferred it if I had just stood there and let that furry ball of terror claw my eyes out?! And this is why dogs are much better than cats! Anyway, I got the win and that’s what matters, this week I’m getting a chance to continue that win streak against a human opponent, namely Holly Rhoades!”

Back to normal.

”That’s right, we’re going back to our regularly scheduled ass kicking this week and to get my third win in PWE, I gotta chop down a big redwood tree in the form of Holly Rhoades! I know she’s taller and stronger than me but being a 5ft 4 former Olympic Level athlete whose sport of choice gymnastics, that’s not saying a lot, is it? But my speed and agility has seen me prevail against all comes, off all shapes sizes and animal species and this match will be no different!”

At least I hope so.

”There’s one other thing I should address Holly because like me you were in action on the last episode of Victory, only you suffered a loss in that Fatal Four Way whilst I got to go to the pay window! And whilst you weren’t the one who was pinned in that match you’re obviously out to avenge that loss and you see little old me as a perfect opponent for such an occasion, right? I’m going to have to disappoint you Holly!”

Big time.

”Why? Because I don’t plan on going back to my losing ways anytime soon and it won’t take some amazon to beat me either! I’m not going to comment on whether I’ve said this to any male partners I’ve had in the bedroom or not but size doesn’t matter and you can’t slam me through the matt if you can’t catch me, right Holly? Off course I’m right, this isn’t the first time I’ve been an underdog!”

It’s practically part of my job description!

”Can I add “perpetual underdog” to my resumé’? it feels like it should be on it at this point in my wrestling career! But regardless of if I can do that or not, I’m going to show the world why the trope of “underdogs never lose” is still alive and well in wrestling and if that involves beating you by using my speed then I guess I’ll have to do just that, won’t I Holly? All I can really say is that this is going to be a hell of a match!”

It’s that simple.

”But it’s a hell of a match that’ll end with my third win here in PWE! Thing is Holly is that now that I’ve finally got some momentum on my side, I’m not about to let go off it anytime soon and it won’t take a fucking amazon to halt that momentum anyway, I know it was said that I might get an award for doing well in this match but frankly? I’m only concerned with keeping up my momentum by getting a win!”

And with that I decided to wrap things up.

”I guess you’d better call me a lumberjack because I’ve got a big redwood to chop down at Victory and her name is Holly Rhoades! As what happens after I get the win over this tall babe? I don’t know, I’ve been taking things as they come since the New Year started and PWE won’t be any different and neither will you Holly as you step into the ring with the “Nightmare Angel” Chelsea Skye and learn why once that bell rings the Skyes the Limit!”

I started my guitar practice as the scene fades.
