Rose Productions
At Rose Productions, we are taken to the recording studio part of the huge Movie Studio building. Inside a room we are able to see Kate Steele-Warren better known to the musical world as Diamond Steele, and she isn’t alone as she is with her band the Gem Stones which feature her cousin the bass player and other vocalist Ruby Steele (Prudence Steele) Ruby’s half-sister Sapphire Gemstone the lead guitarst (Phoebe Wentworth) and Sapphire’s best friend Emerald Gemstone the drummer (Penelope McAdams). The band seems to be having fun as they are in the middle of a recording session. Finally a blonde woman sitting outside by the booth smirks as she speaks to them. That woman is none other than Chloe Martin the COO for the production company.
“And I would say that’s a wrap. All of that sounded so amazing!!! You should be proud of what you all just did…”
Kate grins in return before nodding her head.
“Thank you so much. I know what we just did will instantly go platinum. I have the best band in the entire world, and it would be bollocks if we didn’t sell one million records. I mean everything we do is amazing. What else would you expect from a British band… The best bands in the world have mostly been British!”
Chloe rolls her eyes in return.
“I wouldn’t go that far… I mean… Even though I am Canadian I feel like you can’t count out America and what they have done there… Who is great from Britain anyway?!”
Ruby quickly chimes in yelling through the window.
“QUEEN!!!! You know with Freddie Mercury the greatest front man ever!!!! Probably with the best vocals ever to come from a man…”
Sapphire chuckles as she looks at her sister.
“Of course my sister has to show off her fandom of her favourite band. You can’t even forget about the Beatles who did so much stuff…”
Emerald nods her head as the Scot fires back with some answers of her own.
“Iron Maiden, The Police, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin… There’s so much to name…”
Kate shrugs her shoulders as she laughs in return.
“You can’t forget about the Rolling Stones either! The United Kingdom is all about rock music and we are no different. We just released our huge movie and you saw how much of a success that was. I can only imagine how our actual album is going to do. It’s all going to be amazing and…”
Ruby smiles as wide as she can as she screams out at the top of her lungs.
“TOTES OUTRAGEOUSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!”
Kate nods her head as she looks at everyone.
“On top of that the only thing that really matters is the fact that WE are the best band in the world! Anything that is led by yours truly can’t be all that bad. I am the best at anything I do really. It doesn’t matter if it’s playing an instrument, acting, singing, or even wrestling. It doesn’t get any better than Kate fucking Steele…”
Sapphire just shakes her head as she looks back at Diamond shrugging her shoulders at her.
“That’s a bunch of bollocks… You aren’t even a better guitarist then me. Anyway I don’t think I have time to listen to any more of this bullshit. Come on Penelope let’s go…”
With that Sapphire and Emerald walk out of the studio leaving the other three women. Chloe smiles as she looks over at Kate and Prudence.
“Great job on the recording session today, I know Crystal will be happy to know how you guys did today. Anyway I have to go to one of the sets. There seems to be some issues with one of the actors. Take care…”
Ruby and Diamond are the only two people left in the room. Ruby shakes her head as she looks over at her older cousin just looking deep into her eyes.
“So don’t you think you forgot to tell me something?!”
Diamond raises her eyes in return.
“What exactly are you talking about Ruby…”
Ruby sighs before shaking her head.
“You know it’s a little OUTRAGEOUS!!!! That you would sign up for a wrestling company and you didn’t even have the nerve to tell me that you were going to do so. Had I known you were joining someplace new I would have done the necessary paperwork and joined you…”
Kate just shrugs her shoulders before sighing in return.
“Bloody hell Ruby… Just focus on what you are doing. I have my reasons for joining Level Up. I know I signed up and didn’t tell anybody but I have my reasons. I had to go there for personal reasons and it would be better if you didn’t get caught up in any of the drama…This is my fight and mine alone…”
Ruby crosses her arms.
“What do you mean it’s your fight?! I am your cousin. If you are going through something you know you can count on me to be right there for you. I don’t want you to ever feel like you have no help. Not only are we in the same band but we are family. I look up to you and you need help…”
Kate shakes her head as she leads Ruby out of the room as they leave the studio. They are now on the studio lot and Kate turns her attention over to Ruby.
“Listen if this is about being a part of Level Up I feel like I need to avenge my husband’s performance there. I feel like I failed him as a trainer. I trained Teddy on how to be a wrestler. He’s been there but he just seemed to be there. He never really accomplished anything. I know when people see the name of Warren they probably have it in their head that they can’t accomplish anything or it should be a name that should be looked down on. That isn’t the case by any means. I know there can be better for that name, and I have to bring Honour back to the Warren name…”
Ruby smiles back at her cousin.
“Cheers I can respect that but for a woman who really wants to make the Warren name mean something I don’t understand how you are going to prove that by wrestling on your maiden name. If you really cared about doing things for your husband you would take his name and actually make it something in wrestling. You are persistent on hiding behind the Steele name though…”
Diamond thinks about it before nodding her head in agreement.
“You are actually right and that’s my fault. That’s my cross to carry. At some point I will happily take the Warren name and make it mean so much. However what you don’t understand is that I made the Steele name mean something. It took 9 years to bring it to where it is now. That has been 9 years of fighting and clawing my way to the top. When people see me all they can see is an undersized under dog that probably shouldn’t be doing this thing called wrestling. They see an impulsive former trust fund brat who shed a lot of tears and doing stupid shit. I made my share of mistakes but I damn sure learned from them. Now look at me Ruby… I am Kate Fucking Steele…”
Kate nods her head as she speaks some more.
“I am a legend… A woman who became a Hall of Famer, a woman who is a 9 time Hardcore Champion and I even have a World Championship to my name. I have done it all and then some. However I want to go further because the one thing that I haven’t managed to do was be that great wife to Teddy and be that great mother to Juliet. It’s time that I finally change that narrative and make people actually give a fuck about me. So if it will take me busting my ass in Level Up to showcase that so be it… I refuse to have anybody laugh at my family anymore. I will defend their honour and will make a name for myself as well…”
Kate points at Ruby.
“I know you have it in your heart that you probably just want to follow in my shoes. However you shouldn’t try to follow in the legacy of somebody else. You should go about trying to create your own legacy. You have that ability. You just turned 23 and I know there’s something special about you. You write all the music for our band. You can play instruments and are developing into an amazing wrestler. Don’t let that talent go to waste because if it did as your older cousin I would feel awful…”
Ruby nods her head as she looks back at her cousin.
“Did you even tell Teddy that you were signing up for Level Up?!
Kate quickly shakes her head.
“No… And honestly that’s on me. I should have been a better communicator with him but I just didn’t. I want it to be more of a surprise though. I figured when he sees me wrestling and doing my thing. He could be inspired to actually go out there and live up to his potential. I know he has been struggling but with his wife at his side he just can’t fail, and that’s because I won’t allow him to do so…”
Kate points at herself.
“You see Ruby… This is my destiny, and it’s one that I am proudly going to fight for. You have to figure what your destiny is. You need to find out something for you and I know you will…”
Ruby smiles looking up to her cousin.
“I know and just let it be known. If you say the word I will be right there… You know us Steele women need to be there for one another…”
“I know but let me just do my thing… At least for the beginning… If things seem to be too much, I won’t hesitate to call you. That’s just how we do things right?!”
“Cheers Kate… Go do what you do best… I will be watching and you better not let me down…”
With that Kate walks over to her cousin and gives her a long passionate hug. There is a smile between them as they walk off in the distance and begin to head towards their car.
Bloody fucking hell…
So I guess this is Level Up Wrestling… This seems like an amazing place and if I can be honest this is the type of place where I will definitely gain a lot of XP and I will indeed Level Up… No pun intended of course. I guess the question that is on everybody’s mind is why did I decide to come to this company?! What made me put my name on a contract in the first place?!
The answer to that question is very simple. I have seen my husband struggling in this company ever since he became a part of it. He is amazing family man and I appreciate everything that Teddy has done for his family, and always wanting to better himself. However the way he just couldn’t get the job done against the Wilcox and always being on the losing side of things I just knew that I had to come to this company.
After all the saying goes that behind every strong man is an even stronger woman, and that is definitely a fact when it comes to me. I taught my husband how to wrestle. I trained him for this business and it kills my heart to see him trying so hard and not getting anywhere. He needs some real backup and who better to give him the boost of confidence that needs than that of his wife.
I will get him going again and at the same time I know he will feel inspired if I am right there beside him. However I can sit here and talk up my husband all day long but my journey shouldn’t be about what Teddy is doing. It should be focused on me and this upcoming show I get to make my huge debut here. I know there might be some people who feel they don’t know me but let me just take the time to introduce myself.
I am Kate Steele… I have been wrestling for about nine years now. I am the definition of a pint size badass. I will beat the bloody brakes off of any wanker who wishes to step up to me. More importantly than that I have no qualm in throwing myself into the heart of a fight! I have a reputation of being the Siren. A woman who would make anybody tap the fuck out. I can break down the biggest of them and they don’t scare me. I come to this company as a 9 time Hardcore Champion and a former World Champion. I have the ability to get to the top and with me on this roster it will be no different.
I will rise to the top of the ranks. I will take down my opposition and I will be the best competitor I can be. Now I go by the name of Diamond Steele and I am an international superstar. I have my own band and it’s such a good feeling. As good as all of that feels and sounds where I want to really make my strides is right in the confines of the middle of the ring.
So that brings me to this huge debut of mine and in my very first match here I have to step into the ring with Lord Raab. How’s it going Raab… You truly are that of a monster. You stand at 6 foot 4 and you weigh in at 260 pounds. That is definitely insane and when you compare that to me. I only stand a 5 foot 2 and I weigh in at 110 pounds. You definitely have the size advantage on me. You proved in your last match that you have what it takes to make an impact.
Bloody hell you won yourself a three way match and now stand tall as the number one contender for the Wisdom Championship. That’s absolutely insane and I know you have the ability to potentially take that win and transition it into a Wisdom title win. That much is a fact. I will give you that. However what I can tell you is as great as all of that sounds I am here to make an impact. I am here to take you down and to showcase that I can be one of the best that this company has to offer.
How would it look if I managed to make a debut and beat the man who is number one contender for a Championship?! I think it would mean that I will be on my way to being looked upon as the future of this business. I am that type of talent. I just need to showcase that I can do that here.
Anyway as good as you might be Raab and I know being a Raab you definitely are talented considering you come from a family of wrestlers. The fact is I am going to do everything in my power to give a great first impression. That means I am going to be giving you everything I have to prove myself.
Whatever happens the best wrestler in the ring will win but let it be known I am entering the ring with a purpose. I am looking to be better than you, and I will show Level Up that a Steele can do big things here.
Cheers and it’s time for this Siren to start singing and leading everyone to being SHIPWRECKED!
