Hi all,

I wanted to give an update. I was on pace to finish the show for this morning. Last night, however, I realized I was making some concessions I really shouldn't on the biggest show of the year and in particularly, one match I was finishing up really wasn't that good.

I took three full weeks off from SCW - a much needed break - after deadline, and started to get back into things. Much of the writing has gone well, but I've been balancing that with my return to work the last two weeks, along with any prep. I'm going away with my wife this weekend - we both do a terrible job at actually taking time off - and so I'm not around as I normally would be to finish things up. I tried to rush things to get them done, but frankly, with the great writing all of you did for Rise to Greatness, I want to return that effort in kind. I even was planning to not include match hype videos and other things I do to make RTG special to try and get it up on time.

Last night, I finally made the decision that if I'm not going to do it right, it's not worth it, especially for what is our "season finale." I can take a few extra days, post a card (which is up) and do those things properly. I realize this will be frustrating as I know some of you are really raring to go for the new season, but I always told myself I wouldn't compromise what I do feel is SCW's main strength - the quality of writing and the quality of the shows. So, Rise to Greatness and its pre-show WILL be up in the next week. Most of the matches are written or mostly written. Matches are judged. I just need to focus on segments, hype-videos, and other matters like that. I just ran out of time before I spend the weekend with my wife. I haven't even had a chance to do the events calendar as I've focused on the shows. I have to do some prep for the next week when I get back, but I should then have my time when not teaching to finish the shows and to the level you all expect.

Sorry for the added additional delay, but I hope you understand why. October 1 is our first show back. I'll have the events calendar completed next week too. And I hope the added time allows you to get even more ideas going. There are a few other things being worked on behind the scenes for SCW and hopefully it will all come together as we enter our 24th year.

Breakdown Card – October 1, 2026 – Target Center, Minneapolis, Minnesota

Shaun Cruze vs. Gavin Taylor

Marquis Dawson vs. Chris Lawler

Crystal Zdunich vs. Marie Jones

The Glimmer Sisters vs. The European Fiery Nation (Frederico Gasperoni & Oskar Theron)

The debut of Orison

Vespertine vs. Chase Upshaw

Plus, the fallout from Rise to Greatness!

And what else will happen as SCW starts a new season!

2 RP Limit for singles; 4 RP Limit for tag
Deadline: 11:59:59 pm ET Wednesday, September 30, 2026

A card for October 8 will come out next week. This card is also based on those who have confirmed availability for the returning show (and in line with any segments I have in mind as follow-up to RTG without revealing any results).

I wanted to give an update with how things are going. Rise to Greatness is coming along well. Some of the matches are really coming together and I'm largely taking my time with things. That said, I had hoped to get things up today, but with a few family things going on and the start of a new term (and my wife and I are planning to actually get away for a few days next week - this only matters as it cuts into time I have to get some of my courses set up), I've been pulled in a few more directions. But I've specifically given myself permission not to just rush the show. All this means is we'll aim for Rise to Greatness shows to be up next week and we'll push back our return from hiatus one week. I'm already reaching out to people about making sure they're available to be booked or double-checking plans with their characters.

Again, if you're looking to make a change with your characters or you know of anyone interested in joining SCW, please have them get in touch!

"The Warrior Chant"  


Entrance:  

(The Sandurakar chant starts up. As it does so, the lights go down and the audience brings their phone lights out. A deep purple light shines upward from below the stage and fog starts to roil around the stage and on down the ramp. 4 drummers with what look to be Asian battle drums of some sort come out to the stage and set up. The chant goes down and then all is silent for a minute, we hear Vespertine's voice over the loudspeakers.

"I see you. I see your soul. And it.... is.... mine!"


"One of the drummers on the stage does a battle shout which is echoed by the others and then they start on their drums, drumming and tapping in unison which indicates the start of "The Warrior Chant" by the Hu.

"Hu hu hu hu hu hu hu."

(A few moments of deep drumming and shouting from the drummers and then from below the stage, Gangrel style, rises Vespertine on the trapdoor entrance platform. She is looking down, arms down, she wears her ring gear, with trenchcoat and covered hood. When the platform stops, she steps off to the edge of the entrance ramp and then slowly looks up. As she does so, she opens her eyes and they are glowing a bright purple (or another color). She reaches out to the audience as if to encompass their souls.)

"Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu"

(She then walks down to the ring and when she gets ringside, she goes up the steps, leans on the ropes, turns around and does a backflip over the ring ropes (Melina style). She gets to the center of the ring and looks down, then slowly she lifts her arms to point at the ceiling, then brings them back down quickly upon which fire pyro pillars go off at each of the four corner posts. She looks around (either at her opponent or the audience and her eyes have turned to an orbless white. She slowly removes her hood and then looks up again and screams a feral scream to the ceiling. When she looks back at us, her eyes have returned to their normal color.)



(She walks over to the ring ropes and hands a techie both her hood and trenchcoat not taking her eyes off her opponent. The music stops and we hear over the loudspeakers.)

"You will feel

Death....

by....

Diva."


(As the fog seems to get sucked under the ring, she gets to her side of the ring, puts hand to fist and bows to her opponent then then stands waiting for her match to start)


Ring Announcer: Hailing from the Gates of Eternity, coming in at 5 feet 5 inches, and 115 lbs, she is the Inevitable End, the Well Rounded Fighting Machine, I give you VESPERTINEEEEEEEEEE!!!!


Bio:
Ancient Times:  Buddhism was founded 1000 years before Christianity.  Buddha was originally named Sidartha Guatama.   He was a prince before he became a pauper.  His brother, Sidanthka Guatama was next in line after him.  When Sidartha left to go on his journey and found Buddism, his brother left a year later in his footsteps only to discover that the dark side of Buddhism is a much better place.  Meanwhile, Buddha took a wife, Vespertine and over the millenia and the many centuries they were together, she fought as his wife and his general in his army against his brother.  Half a millenia ago, she came face to face with Sidanktha and it changed the course of her life forever.  Now she follows the dark buddha and scorns anything from her former husband/lover master.  Over the last millenia whenever she is reincarnated she finds Sidanktha and becomes his head general.  All to balance out the power of the Universe.  In this lifetime, she has died and been resurrected but finds a new battleground upon which to fight.  The ring.  Being a wrestler.  


Then:  Vespertine has wrestled in Japan, Mexico, Korea, US, Canada and Britain. She broke into the business 7 years ago. Her father owns a couple of restaurant chains and a casino in Las Vegas where he and her mother currently reside. He owns Benehana's and PF Changs. Her mother is a retired school teacher. She lives in San Francisco, Ca and when she isn't busy wrestling, she does acting, modeling and is a karate instructor for the local kids on the side. She has been in a couple of B rated movies but she won't admit to that.  Her off screen boyfriend is named James (the first latino she has ever dated) who is contributing writer to the Oakland Tribune and is a trainer at the local wrestling promotion, Bay Area Wrestling  Federation, BAWF.  She will occasionally use him in on screen promos but more often it is more of an off the camera deal.  She has a fiery and spicy personality and temperment and he has the latino heat to match.  

Now:
She died... once, about 6 years ago. Cause unknown, maybe had something to do with a car crash.  But then she was brought back to life by her sensei for reasons known only to him. Originally he brought her back to be with Buddha but eventually she found her way back to his brother. She is now his right hand and is a ferrier of souls that she takes to him so he can feed.  She is known as a Hallow.  Not dead but not alive, a vessel of souls for him.   She doesn't remember much when she was alive before just of her family which was enstranged to her.   Now, she has a new and interesting chapter in her life and she is stronger than ever being the undead ferrier of souls for her dark buddha.  Her memory comes and goes when ever her Dark buddha punishes her by giving her, her soul back (punishment enough for the souless).  But when she does remember, it can be as far back as when Buddhism was first founded, or in her last federation where she was World Champion.  In SCW, who knows what's gonna happen but she is ready to be the Inevitable end of everyone here.  It's only matter of time until everyone here feels Death... by.... diva!
