Rome,Georgia
Being a winner felt great again, A sunday after the service had its own kind of afterglow for Luther Thunder, he was flipping through his phone’s gallery for some old pictures and happened to get around to some rather artistic and tasteful shots taken of his wife. Covered only by two of his championships placed strategically depending on the poses, his cheeks started to get color when he thought back to those moments, the proud and adoring look she had for him..a double champion. Two top titles both from a different company,one didn’t even exist anymore and the other..
The other company acted like he didn’t exist anymore and only thing he had left in his life from those times was his wife,who was more than any championship, but he would kill to have her look at him like that again, beating Max Ironside was not quite enough but it was a step to the right direction.
“Come on Luthie, what’s troubling you? You know I don’t like to see my big man looking all grumpy.” He felt an arm around his shoulder as she peered at the phone. “You’re not still thinking about how things went sour, are you? I know everything is chaotic right now, but we have new chances, new opportunities.”
He nodded, leaning into her a bit, she grabbed his ear playfully.
“If those pictures ever leak online, you’ll be in big trouble mister!”
He blushed deeper and shook his head.
“Nope, won’t happen. These are the only copies.”
Well only copies outside some of the printouts he kept hidden inside his bible, but the good book could keep all sorts of secrets even the sinfully hot shots of his one true love.
Putting his phone away Luther looked at his wife and smiled.
“The only thing that has not changed in my life since then is you and you are all I really need Esmers, you are my life. But I have to be honest with you, branching out to these new places, it was a pretty scary thing to do. For years I was so exclusive to a specific place..yet when we went to Alaska I became their first top champion..right when I won the top title in the other place..so maybe. This match, for the Conquest Championship against those..”
He took a moment trying not to swear.
“..women, could be my chance to bounce back, you know? Be more than a relic from times gone by. They don’t know me around here, my legacy in other places, my failures in others..it’s like all that has been washed away, the slate is wiped clean. With you, there is no limit to what I can accomplish.”
“Maybe that’s a good thing, sweetie. I mean, back in the past, people always built their own narrative around you. They always threw the same old tired jabs and bored everyone into oblivion. Now... now, we get to write our own narrative. We get to control what people think, what people see. And when you score a slam dunk on Kate and those other girls, you will be a true “game changer” that SRW needs!
“So you aren’t even a little worried that I’m gonna be there with three women then?” he winked and nudged at her playfully.
“Considering the champion looks like a 12 year old transvestite, I’m sure I have enough self-confidence to trust you not to elope” she laughed.
“..that and Sunshine is a mother travelling with her kid to shows..and I think she’s part of some sort of underground fight club too.”
“Really?”
“Yeah, read it on the internet..social media told me.”
“Luther, how many times have I told you, don’t believe all the stuff you read online?”
He grumbled.
“Look, Kate has the title, and we both know I could take her any day of the week and twice on Sunday but there’s two others there too. Any one of the three of us could end up costing her that title reign but I’m the only one who could really make an impact with it. Not only for the company but to teach those Limey sons of bitches how lucky they got with that win over me.”
She slaps him gently.
“LANGUAGE! On a fucking Sunday too!”
He drops his face.
“Sorry.”
“You don’t need to worry about the Crazy Crackpot. He shat the bed in his main event opportunity, and now you’re the one with a chance to be a champion. Maybe when you’re holding that gold, he’ll be the one begging you for a rematch, to have a chance to stand in the ring with greatness... God knows, I don’t think he’s held a singles championship since like 2007!”
He glanced at his phone and then at her.
“So..when I win that Conquest title, you think we could get some updated shots of those photos..”
He looked at her with some puppy dog eyes.
“I mean one title is less than two so we would probably have to get creative but you are even prettier than you were then.”
“I mean... we could, but about this time we do a little role reversal? I mean, I’m a woman with needs and desires too!”
He nods and ponders.
“Yeah but is one championship really ENOUGH to cover someone as big as me?”
“As you said... probably have to get creative!” She chuckles.
“All I have to do is beat three other people and win that championship..”
She smirks.
“..and then the hard stuff really starts”

“Conguests”
We open to one of the newest signings to Southern Rebellion Wrestling: Luther Thunder dressed to the nines along with his ample and dazzling wife Esmeralda in tow, because it seemed like these two were just inseparable.
Luther: A blessed day to you all brothers and sisters, I’m hoping “ya’ll” have all had a great weekend are ready for a new week with new challenges coming your way, because in just few short days SRW is going to offer everyone a Savage Thursday worth remembering a conquest in the horizon worthy of keeping your peepers locked on.
Esme nods.
Esme: For too long, SRW has had to settle for mediocrity as their Conquest Champion. Kate Steele, the “punk” or whatever, may be a hallowed professional wrestler of many years, despite looking barely old enough to attend high school... but in terms of what this division could be... nay should be, she is merely what she has been for the majority of her career... a little bit disappointing. Disappointing to look at, disappointing in her role as a champion for this division. Disappointing like her beloved Chelsea FC choking in the Champions League last night.
She chuckles.
Esme: And that is somewhat a trend in your career, your life, isn’t it Kate? For all your talks of being a “game changer” back in the day, you have never really changed much of anything of note. The most notable thing I remember about your career was when walking babychild Wendy House used to bully you and bathe your ugly face in acid. Probably made it more ugly to be fair.
She shakes her head.
Esme: That’s where we stand, Kate. Because you’ve always been a disappointment. So hyped from such a young age, but now you’re what? Mid-thirties maybe? And you cling onto that Conquest Championship because you know it’s the last scrap of relevancy you have in this business. You see Kate, an ironing board with a stupid smiley face emoticon stuck on top does not look like a champion. Do you want to see what a champion looks like?
She turns, holding her arms out to proudly display Luther behind her.
Esme: THIS, Kate, is what a champion looks like. This is what Melinda Rhodes had in mind when she dropped the restrictions on male fighters, opening this place up to a whole new wave of exciting talent. And she had to, really, because the women she had as champions, especially yourself, simply didn’t measure up, short-stack. Forget being a real champion... I’m not even convinced you’re a real woman.
Luther looks at his wife like most of this was a shock to him too, that such a delicate and angelic flower like her could spew out such venomous statements.
Esme: What? You people got the internet, look it up! It’s all out there.
Luther: ..Kate, sweetheart, pumpkin..muffin..I don’t know how I’m supposed to talk to you to get through to you. Because to me it seems you got older in years, but you never really grew up and matured did you? You are supposed to be a role model, a champion for young girls and boys to look up to and aspire to be, yet aren’t you still chasing that pipe dream of being a rock ‘n roll star? What is it you really want Kate, to fill out stadiums with rowdy fans and fellow “punk rockers” or do you want to be a champion or maybe a fashion icon or a photojournalist or maybe even a noble prize chemist? There is a time and place for dreams in one's life Kate. It’s all part of the process where we believe we are unstoppable and capable of doing everything but as the years go on and you just can’t seem to make your mind up. There is a very legitimate chance that you may lose it all. So this Thursday on the 13th of August consider out match as me helping you out. Taking that championship from you, beating you for it. Could be my favour towards eliminating your life of one distraction. You seem spread out all over the place so whoever takes that Conquest Championship from you..you should thank them. One less thing for the media phenomenon that is Kate Steele to worry about, you can focus on your husband, support his career like a good, adoring, loving wife does..like my perfect, angelic and delicate flower here..
She pulls Esme in for a smooch, it would look adorable if the pair of them weren’t well bruisers by years of experience.
Esme: Come on Luthie... I know Kate isn’t all that, but at least she can win a championship. Her good for nothing husband couldn’t win a game of UNO, let alone a championship. Her supporting him might be a lost cause.
She chuckles.
Esme: As for Melissa & Savannah... forgive us if we do not dwell on you ladies for too long. We deal with champions here... which Kate Steele is, and my husband shall soon be... let’s just say you girls got your championship opportunity at the wrong moment but on the upside it will be the easiest payday you will ever make in this industry, Luthie here will do all the work, you get to experience it and get paid to just watch it happen. Then, you can tell your children, grandchildren that when Luther Thunder won his first championship of many in SRW... “I was there!” Heck, that sounds like a great merchandising opportunity... I’ll get on to the office guys!
Luther: Now don’t think of any of this as me overlooking any of you, this is not me having my ego stroked by my wife in front of everyone or just some grandiose hyperbole or some sort of perversion of sorts. I am confident in my own abilities and I know for a fact that if I was not capable of winning this. I would not have been put in this match by Mel Rhodes if she didn’t believe in me. I would not have been the first male to be signed to this roster. So please understand that I appreciate all of you tremendous talents in this match. I really do and if you do end up googling some of the online stuff, do not believe all the slanderous statements from the fans..I am not that bad of a guy, in fact I’m a good guy, no not just good I’m a GREAT guy, just ask my wife! She’ll tell ya’ll..and she never lies. We have no secrets, we believe in honesty and modesty in my family and if she says I am the most honest, modest and the best g-damn talent on this roster..then you best believe her, because why wouldn’t you? As honest, god fearing believers like I know the good folk in the south are. They need a champion like myself, they crave for a Conquest champion who looks like he could conquer the whole world if they need him to. I’m not saying I’m an actual conqueror like Alexander The Great or Genghis Khan, but I could be..could you?
Esme: So bring what you may, it matters not, anything short of a Keshik will not stop Luther Thunder from becoming your Conquest Champion. So stand back ladies and be astounded... because greatness is manifesting before your very eyes. Luther Thunder... the champion SRW needs!
Luther: So with that we thank you all for this wonderful time we shared, have a blessed day and enjoy your rest folks, because you do not want to miss this Savage Thursday, August 13th 2020 in the world renown Rebel Star Arena in Rome, GA..We’ll see ya’ll there.
The happy couple exits the shot as we fade to black.
