The video begins and we see a Canadian flag blowing in the breeze outside a window. It’s day outside and the camera focuses up on the flag which is hanging from a building higher than the camera is currently located. Just then we hear a familiar voice, that of the reigning SCW World Heavyweight Champion, as she takes a deep breath and lets it out as a sigh. “Welcome to Ontario, Canada,” she says softly. “We’re in Ottawa right now, two days ahead of the End of Year Special, the final event of an incredible 2014 for Supreme Championship Wrestling, a year that saw so much happen and so much history made. As I look out that window right now though it isn’t 2014 that I’m thinking about. You see being here in Ontario always makes me think to the history of this place. SCW was born here, right? SCW was born in Toronto, and so many amazing moments that have happened over the past eleven and a half years in SCW history have happened right here in Ontario, the home of SCW. The biggest one of all of those however may just have been in 2013 when SCW came home to celebrate its biggest event, Rise to Greatness 10. You all remember that night, right? It was a night unlike any other. The crowd was louder than ever. The people were chanting for their heroes. It was a night that went down in history as one of the biggest in the company, and the night that I walked in to an arena in Ontario as the SCW World Heavyweight Champion, and I walked out without that title. No matter how long it’s been or what I’ve done in all the time since that’s still a hard moment to forget.”

She turns the camera around to focus on herself and nods at the camera by way of a greeting. “And now, seventeen months after the most emotionally painful night of my wrestling career I’m back in Ontario, Canada and I’m once again defending the SCW World Heavyweight Championship. In two days time I’m going to step in to the middle of the ring in Scotiabank Place in front of a sold out SCW crowd and I’m going to defend that title against the man that you’ve all picked to be the challenger, the man who you picked above everyone else to be the most deserving individual who’s never received a World Championship match. And I’ll be honest with you all because when I think about this match I’m a little bit scared,” she confesses before taking another deep breath. “Maybe it’s the pressure of being back in Canada after what happened to me here on July 28th 2013. Maybe it’s the pressure of once again going in to the middle of the ring to defend this championship, for the sixth time in five months. Maybe it’s the fact that I’m going up against a man who has nothing to lose and everything to gain, a man who’s been through hell the last year and has a chance to end his 2014 in the best possible way, by reaching for the brass ring he’s never gotten an opportunity at before and becoming the SCW World Heavyweight Champion. Maybe it’s because I’ve got a target on my back, a target that’s been made very clear by the likes of Kennedy Street gunning for this title. Or maybe it’s a combination of all of those things. Maybe its a little part of everything all wrapped up in to one. Whatever it is there’s one thing I know: it’s exciting!”

She laughs and nods her head. “That’s right; I’m excited about this Wednesday night. I’m excited about going to the End of Year Special, my first ever End of Year Special as the SCW World Heavyweight Champion, because it means that this Wednesday night I get another opportunity to do what I promised you all I’d do the day that I first won this championship. Now I know what you guys thought of me the last time I walked in to Ontario wearing this title. I know what you guys thought of me when I defended this title against Shilo Valiant on the biggest stage in wrestling. And you know what? I don’t blame you guys for feeling the way you felt. I don’t blame you guys for wanting to see this title in the hands of anyone but me because back then I wasn’t a nice person, I had my priorities all wrong, and I wasn’t proud of the person I was. But this is my second chance. This is my chance to walk back in front of the passionate Canadian fans and prove I’m not that person anymore. This is my chance to continue fulfilling a promise I made when I won the title, and that was to be a champion that every single one of you could be proud of. I’ve tried to do that,” she says, pausing and looking at the World title in her hands before looking back up at the camera. “Ever since I laid my fingers on this title I promised that I would do what I needed to do to do it justice. I promised that I would live up to the legacy, not only of the SCW World Heavyweight Championship but of SCW itself. I promised I would be the kind of champion you could be proud of, and I’ve done everything I can to do that.”

“The first show after winning this title I was willing to put it on the line, to risk it all against one man who’d never had an opportunity before. His name was William Mason and he was so sure that he deserved this belt. Then I stepped up and I gave Shaun Cruze something that so few get offered, a rematch for this title, and I overcome Shaun Cruze in a hell of a match – with a controversial ending I’ll admit – to prove to all of you guys that I was for real. Then there was Regan Street, the hard-earned number one contender, the woman who fought her way through the number one contendership tournament, and Regan and I put on one of the biggest matches of our lives and we gave each other everything we had. On the first Breakdown of 2015 we’re going to go at it again no matter what happens on Wednesday night. We’re going to kick off 2015 by giving all of you the biggest match we can, and we’re going to settle things between Regan and me once and for all in the process. When that match at Under Attack was over though I left still with this championship, and I haven’t looked back ever since. I defended this title against James Marsh-Asher at Fatal Fortunes, I defended this title against Dylan Howell on the last television show of 2015, against two men who deserved their chances, two men who’ve earned their chances, and now I’m going to do it one more time and we’re going to finish 2015 with a bang against one more who’s earned his chance as well. He’s earned his chance because of you. He’s gotten this chance because of ALL of you, because the match YOU wanted to see wasn’t some whiny self-publicizing drama queen, it was a guy with integrity and commitment who doesn’t know when to give up.”

“You guys decided it. You guys decided this match. You guys picked Chris Cannon above everyone else and I think I know why. It’s because you’ve watched him the same as I have over the last year and you’ve seen the man that I’ve seen. You’ve seen the guy who did the right thing even when it wasn’t the easy thing to do. You’ve seen the guy who stood up to Silas Mason and who paid for that with beating after beating after beating, something that I’m all too familiar with from my brief encounter with the very same problem. But through all that torment, through all of that pain, through the emotional difficulty of having to watch his wife manipulated and used by an evil bigot, you’ve seen Chris Cannon emerge as a hero. Now maybe he wasn’t always the hero, maybe he didn’t always make the perfect choices, but then I know all about that. I know all about walking down the wrong path, about being blinded by the wrong choices and justifying them to yourself so that you can sleep at night, even if you can’t quite bring yourself to look at yourself properly in the mirror every morning,” she says, nodding as though she understands it on a level that we’re perhaps unaware. “I know you’ve made mistakes Chris but I’m not going to hold them against you because in the end you’ve shown us what kind of man you are. You fought for the things that mattered to you. You fought for your wife. You fought for your marriage. You sacrificed your own well-being to do the right thing and it wasn’t too long ago that you were one of those saving my ass from a Silas World beat down. I never publicly got to say this, but thank you for that.”

She smiles appreciatively in to the camera. “You see I know why they voted in their thousands for you Chris. I know why they picked you above everyone else. They see you as a hero, an unsung hero who doesn’t hold his arms out and expect praise or thanks for the things he does but who does the things that he does because he knows that somebody needs to do them. I think they also voted for you for another reason as well, and that’s that they – like the rest of us – remember Fatal Fortunes. At Fatal Fortunes I got a one on one match with James Marsh-Asher, one of the best in the business without doubt, but I got him one on one. At Fatal Fortunes James Evans got Sebastian Diamond one on one. At Fatal Fortunes Ravyn Taylor got Thomas Valentine one on one. At Fatal Fortunes the Hollow got Dylan Howell and Katie Steward two on two. At Fatal Fortunes – well, you get the idea. But at Fatal Fortunes you got thrown in to the most unfortunate of situations. After holding the Adrenaline title for barely any time at all you got the worst luck of anyone when you had to defend it in a Battle Royal. And I remember that. And our fans remember that. And we all thought the same thing... your luck just was really out that day,” she says with a sympathetic nod of her head. “If that had been me who had to defend my title under those circumstances I’d have hated it too. I don’t think anyone could blame you for being angry about it. And I think our fans remember that night, remember what you went through, and decided when they could that they’d make it up to you and give you something you’ll never forget.”

“Now I’m going to be honest with you Chris, I’m a little bit jealous of that,” she says with an honest nod. “You see I never got that opportunity. In all the years I was eligible, when I was lighting up the Women’s division, when I was doing all I could to be the best in the tag team division, those people never voted for me. Mr D has never patted me on the back either and told me that I’m next in line. In five and a half years in this company I’ve had to fight for every chance I’ve gotten, I’ve had to scratch and claw for every opportunity, and that could have made me twisted and bitter but instead it’s made me grateful. It’s made me appreciate what this belt means. It’s made me appreciate what it truly means to lead the company, what it truly means to be all that I can be, and that’s what I’ve tried to do. When New Eden and their Evil League of Evil tried to dominate us I did what any good champion would do and I stepped up to fight them, to lead the efforts against them, and I put everything on the line in Tactical Warfare. I’m not telling you this because I think you’re Jake Starr and you wouldn’t have noticed it otherwise. I’m telling you this because I want you to know that I know what it means to fight for what you believe in. I know you do as well. I know you’ve been fighting Silas Mason, I know that’s a battle that you wanted to see end with you getting your hands on him. I know that it won’t be over with him for you until he’s out of your life for good, right? I know that. And I know that all of that has proven one thing. I think that you and I have something in common Chris. I think we both know what it means to fight.”

“I know all of this about you, and I know something else as well. I know they’ve compared you in the past, normally in a disparaging way, to Superman, right? Well you’re not the only one with an S on his chest around here. To get to where I am, to do the things I’ve done, and to achieve the impossible things that I’ve achieved it’s taken that level of effort. It’s taken superhuman effort for this beaten up little Californian girl to keep picking herself up after everything that’s happened to her, to keep rallying against the next challenge, to keep pushing herself harder and harder and to find a way to win, but that’s what I’ve done. I’ve had a superhuman 2014. I’ve accomplished the seemingly impossible just to survive some of the fights I’ve been through, let alone to come back and find ways to win. And you know what that’s like, don’t you Chris?” she says, nodding her head in respect. “While I’ve been beaten down by the Coalition, set upon by Silas World, fought back against sneak attack after sneak attack after sneak attack, you’ve fought back from your own struggles. You’ve overcome almost losing your job. You’ve fought back against controversy and betrayal to PROVE the kind of man you are not just to yourself, not just to the locker room but to the thousands upon thousands who voted for you, those who chant your name, those who cheer you, and that’s something that you should be exceptionally proud of Chris. I’m proud of everything I’ve been through in 2014, everything I’ve overcome in 2014, and you should be as well. It’s the reason you’re here. It’s the reason we’ve got this match. And it’s the reason I’m excited.”

“Now I’m not going to do that demeaning thing that so many have done in my position where I tell you that you’re not ‘ready’ or something like that. I’m not going to look down at you because of how you got this shot, just the opposite I’m going to look up at you, and then I’m going to step up and I’m going to use this as another chance to prove myself in front of the world,” she says with pride before lifting the SCW World Heavyweight Championship up to the camera and looking at it admiringly. “Because I have had a long year Chris, we both have, and I have been through hell but holding this title, defending this title, being the SCW World Heavyweight Champion and representing SCW means everything to me and as much as I’ve been through this year, as hard as it’s been, as much pain as I’ve been in and as many times as I’ve ended up in the trainer’s room or the hospital after the things that have happened to me here’s the truth about it all – I’d do it all again ten times over if it means leaving 2014 while holding this! I’m so very, very proud to be the champion of this company, to get the opportunity that I’ve had as a result, to lead this company, to fight for this company, and I don’t want that opportunity to end. I know it could. I’m not a fool. I know that you could take this from me in two days Chris. I know you’re capable of it. I know how good you CAN be on your night. But as much respect as I have for you, as much as I admire everything you’ve been through, as much as I want to point out all the things we have in common, there’s going to be one thing separating us after this match is done and I want it to be the fact that I’ve got this on my shoulder!”

“I want to leave Ottawa on Wednesday night with the championship, I want to bury another skeleton from my closet after Rise to Greatness in Toronto, and I want to go on representing this company to the best of my ability. I want to walk in to Breakdown on January 7th this title raised high above my head, to do battle with Regan Street, to steal the first show of the year and send everyone home talking, and then I want to go from there to the nation’s capital, to the Verizon Center, and I want to defend this title in another pay per view main event. And after that I want to go on, I want to fly to Malaysia, to Hong Kong, to China and to India and I want to represent this company all across the globe, and then I want to come back home, to go to Retribution, to lead this company in to the second biggest pay per view of the year STILL wearing this title. And I know those are lofty dreams. They’re insane dreams. There are so many gunning for this belt, including your wife. There are so many who want to be the Heavyweight Champion of the World and you could be the one who takes it from me in just two days, you could be the one who ushers in 2015 representing this company and not me, but to make that happen you’re going to have to take this from me Chris, and I don’t go down easy,” she says before laughing. “Oh, I know you’ve all heard the rumours, but joking aside you know exactly what I mean! As much as I’ve done with this title, as much as I’ve suffered to hold it, as much as I’m proud to have represented this company in the way I have, I have no intention of letting New Years Eve be the final day that I do that.”

“But you want to be champion too, right? Of course you do. Who doesn’t? I don’t think there’s a single person in that locker room that wouldn’t trade places with you in a heartbeat if they could. I know how much it would mean to you, Chris. I know what a career milestone it would be for you. I know that it would elevate your career, that you’d stop being the one they dismiss, the one they look down on, the one they don’t think can get it done, and you’d become ‘the man’. I imagine, growing up in a wrestling family, that you used to sit at home and dream about that when you were younger, right? I imagine you holding up plastic toy belts, or homemade titles, or even those held by your family, and saying one day it’ll be you, one day it’ll be your time, one day you’ll be holding that title for real. And you know what, Chris? Someone with your passion, someone with your heart, someone who’s fought through as much as you have, maybe one day you will be the man, but I can’t let that one day be this Wednesday, and I can’t let it be me who you take that title from,” she says, shaking her head softly. “I know what you’re fighting for Chris. I know it better than most around here, actually. I know how your family reputation has suffered. I know how questionable some of the things that your brothers have done have been. I know that stuff because I’m dating your nephew, and I know how much he adores you Chris. I know what it would mean to you, I really do... but you have to also know what it means to me.”

“I’ve been through the torment of losing this title. I’ve watched as others have passed me by, so many getting matches ahead of me when I felt like I was left out in the cold. And like I said before it’s been a superhuman year for me, with Thunderdome matches, Fatal Fourway matches, stepping up against the very best in this business and overcoming the odds in Tactical Warfare, it’s been a superhuman year for me without any doubt but there’s just one more thing that I need to do now and that’s end 2014 still the SCW World Heavyweight Champion, that’s end 2014 still with the title they said I’d never hold again and that I continue to hold against all the odds. It’s been a superhuman year for me, but I have one last feat I need to perform. You and me Chris, one on one, as thousands watch live and millions watch at home. I promise you that you guys don’t want to miss this match, you don’t want to miss your handpicked challenger getting his chance, because on the night that we find out the Match of the Year 2014 I want to end this year with the best match of 2014,” she says proudly. “That’s what I want. I want to go in to the End of Year Special and steal the show. I want everyone talking about you and me Chris, I want people to be excited over everything that could happen in 2015 after seeing this match, I want them to think that YOU’RE the Star of Tomorrow without doubt but I want them to recognise that I’m the star of today! In two days time we’re going at it Chris. In two days time we’re fighting in front of twenty thousand Ontario fans, twenty thousand Canadian fans, twenty thousand of the most passionate fans in the world and when it’s over there’s only one of us leaving with this title. I’m going to do whatever it takes to make sure that’s me Chris and when it’s over I hope we can shake hands and we can say we had the best match possible, and I hope that everyone else who says it should be them can just sit back and BE TOTALLY JEALOUS!”

She smirks at the camera before raising the SCW World Championship again and kissing it happily before holding it up so it almost fills the camera. “Two days Chris,” she says softly and excitedly. “In two days time you get your chance to be the man, and I get my chance to show why I am the Best Female Wrestler in the World and Second to No Man!”

The camera focuses in on the World Championship filling the screen before we fade to black and the video ends with the replay button flashing up on the screen.
