respect
A fA feeling of deep admiration for someone or something elicited by their abilities, qualities, or achievements. Respect is one of those things that some fail to carry towards others, but it’s also something that can go a long way within this wrestling business. I’ve been known to respect others even if they fail to respect me back...some don’t have the audacity to show any respect towards others because they believe that they are superior over the other, stronger than the other if you will. Never in my life would I realize that those certain people you respect will NEVER show any respect towards you; I could add a few to that list, but I’d rather not upset anybody or have them bitch and complain all over social media like always.
ORLANDO, FLORIDA
Courtney has been thinking non stop about the word Respect and how others don’t show any towards her and she isn’t sure why that is. She sits outside in the front yard of her home in beautiful sunny Orlando with her legs crossed and sunglasses on as she is shown wearing blue jean shorts and a tank top. She stares out into the distance thinking about how lucky she should be being able to compete against Mercedes Vargas, but really Mercedes should feel lucky to be in the same ring as Courtney. Standing at the front door from the inside is her husband Jacob holding their son Jace, he stares out the glass door before putting Jace in his bassinet crib in the living room. Once he has laid Jace down he steps outside and walks over to his wife taking a seat beside her.
Jacob Steele: Everything alright babe?
She looks over at him and sighs.
Courtney Steele: Sometimes I wish life was so simple where everybody showed respect whether you disliked or liked the person, ya know? But life isn’t all rainbows and unicorns.
Jacob Steele: Court, I will tell you like I always tell you which won’t be sugar coated okay? Fuck what people think of you. This is something you enjoy doing and so what if people show you respect or they don’t, is that going to stop you from proving that you are the best? No.
Courtney Steele: You’re right babe, but sometimes it’s hard to deal with because you get pointed out as the laughing stock of wrestling. What am I supposed to do?
He looks at her as he touches her leg.
Jacob Steele: You know and I know that you aren’t a laughing stock in this business. Do you want to know what to do? Go out there like you do every single night and give it your all. No matter what happens, win or lose, I will always be your number 1 supporter as well as Jace.
Courtney Steele: You’re absolutely right babe. I will go out there, give it my all, and show everybody that I don’t need their respect because I am THE Queen of everything and will do nothing to make my opponents tap out and bow down to me.
He smiles looking at her.
Jacob Steele: That’s my girl. Sometimes you just got to realize that there will be those who show respect and those who don’t show any, but always remember, don’t let it affect you as a person or a wrestler.
Courtney Steele: Couldn’t have said it better myself baby. I love you. Don’t know what I would do without you by my side.
Jacob Steele: I love you too baby. You never have to worry about that, now come inside and play video games with me while Jace sleeps.
Courtney Steele: That sounds like a wonderful idea baby. Do we need snacks while we play or just a couple bottles of water?
Jacob Steele: No snacks baby just water. Besides, we don't need to be snacking all the time especially when we wrestle. No more caffeinated beverages either. Deal?
Courtney Steele: It will be really hard to do, but I'm willing to try, so yes we have a deal baby. So which game are we going to play first?
He looks at her and then back down at the two games that are lying on the table. He picks of Call of Duty and holds it up at her.
Jacob Steele: I was thinking we play at least one or two rounds of this game before we jump into Fortnite. Sound good?
Courtney Steele: Works for me baby.
She sits down on the couch as she picks up the red controller leaving the green one for Jacob since that's his favorite color. He sits down next to her with the controller in his hand.
Jacob Steele: Team or against each other?
Courtney Steele: Let's work as a team because we do an amazing job at it now.
Jacob Steele: Team it is then.
They smile at each other as they sit down on the couch waiting for the game to finish loading so they can pick their players and weapons. Once the game finishes loading they each pick their players and weapons and start out on the hunt for some enemies as the scene fades away.
NO REST FOR THE WICKED
The following footage you are about to witness should not be tried at home, school, work, or on a playground where children are involved. This message is brought to you in part by the radiant Queen herself, Courtney Leinart-Steele. Don't let the words offend you in any way, shape, or form; these words are specifically spoken out of pure hatred towards those who never showed any respect towards a royal Queen. All of a sudden there's dead silence in the room until someone lets out a terrible scream while standing in front of the mirror.
Ahhhhhh! What the fuck is wrong with you? Oh, hello fuckers! Didn't realize we were rolling on footage already, sorry for the screaming I tend to do that when I get very frustrated at myself or others in general. Anyone ready to take a walk on the wild side with me? I didn't think so, but since you are filming this your opinion nor answers matter to me at this point. Mercedes Vargas, is she around? She didn't follow you guys on this wonderful tour? She's scared that's why. She's never faced anyone like you beautiful. Ya damn right she's scared..the bitch is probably going over some form of strategies to figure out a way to defeat me but little does she know I am a former Honor Champion and the LEGIT submission Queen. I don't blame her for being scared hell she might not even show up just like that pathetic bitch Sam Tolson tried on me, but that didn't work either. We know a lot about you Ms. Vargas, oh yes we do. That's right Mercedes, I know A LOT about you. I know that if it wasn't for me you wouldn't have defeated Maki by yourself now would you? Probably not.. that's something the weak minded tend to do is get distracted when gorgeous women such as myself come alongside their match and distract the ugly pathetic ones from winning. But, luckily for you Vargas you were able to get the win against Maki with MY help.
She flashes a smile as she leads the tour group into a room filled with all the failed achievements that Mercedes Vargas has accomplished in her wrestling career from losing to Alicia Lukas to just being down right stupid at thinking she's the best thing going.
Don't forget to mention that Brooke Saxon can't stand her punk ass. Ahh yes how could I forget that very small but important detail that was mentioned when booking this match. If I do recall to the last episode of Honor, Brooke made it very clear that she does not like you and she feels as though you need to be taught a lesson at knowing who exactly is the best thing going around here in this company and it damn sure isn't you or Alicia Lukas. Ooooh hit her where it hurts Court. Don't worry I'll do more than hit her where it hurts because she will come to realize that she isn't the greatest female wrestler at all because she has to go up against me and that's something that has never been done before. Oh, Cedes, we haven't come face to face against each other in that ring and tonight I will make history happen when I teach you a lesson in knowing who the best wrestler in the world is when I make you tap out and cry like a little bitch that you are, but don't forget that Brooke will be extra proud of me for beating your ass when others failed to do so. I will admit one thing about you that I do admire and that is you put on one hell of matches back in WWH during this whole Shogun tournament that is going on, but can you get the job done once we travel to Japan? I'll let you think on that question but for now this is Honor and I will give you credit where credit is due.. when you faced Alicia you gave it your all and left everything out there in the ring. Good job Vargas, good job, but it wasn't good enough since you lost. Ouch that was a mega burn Mercedes.. how does that make you feel? It doesn't matter how it makes her feel guys we should be asking her that after I make her tap out and cry like a little bitch.
She stands next to the image of Lukas defeating Vargas as she leans against the wall with a huge smirk across her face. She bites the corner of her lip as she stops and thinks for a moment.
What can I say, looks lovely doesn't it? Maybe once our match is finished Brooke will put up a new photo of you screaming in pain as I wrench your arm backwards hoping to break it in half. How's that sound for you? I would definitely buy that image. One for books. Guys enough admiring me why don't we all admire the beautiful and talentless Mercedes eh? I'm done playing this nice innocent person tonight is MY night to shut every single low life up who thought different of me including you. Tonight is the night that this fan loving best wrestler washes away and the bitch comes out. Tonight is my night to leave all my supporters washing away their sins and memories in their tears. All it takes is one fuck up in this world to ruin it for the rest of them. One shot. Two shot. And it's all over. All hail Queen Courtney. Courtney! Courtney! Courtney! Listen as the fans scream and roar in anger at the fact that the true Queen has shown her true colors in this business. It's all about business rather than pleasure sweetie. Make sure you hold your arm closely to you because if not, it will be broken into pieces and once I'm finished doing that I'll put you in my devilish submission move making you scream in pain. Courtney is the best, Courtney number 1.
She smirks at the camera and blows a kiss as she casually walks down the hall wearing black leather pants, black knee high leather boots, a black bikini top with her leather jacket on. She walks past a table and knocks off all the food and laughs like the devil that she is as the scene fades away.

It's Not Whether You Win or Lose: Almighty Fire: Faded Glory Weekend ♦ L O N G B E A C H • C A L I F O R N I A« The saying goes "Time heals all wounds", but you look at what remains after the hurt and the pain and you can see that saying is not true.
For Mercedes Vargas, time has not been kind. The wounds did not heal. The healing wound not come.
The next Pride show will officially mark 14 months since Mercedes Vargas made her debut in Honor Wrestling. She's won a lot, she's lost a few, yet she's still unpinned.
The doubters, critics and naysayers made their choice. Mercedes was the toy replaced with a shiny new one. Did that make her a loser? Did being doubted, disrespected, and counted out make her just another face on the roster seemingly looking to return to their former glory. Though which and when that "former glory" was, is highly questionable.
Are we talking about Mercedes' position as a major star in Honor that burned twice as bright before lasting half as long during her tenure?
Are we talking about her surprising first year in the company last year, starting with being the first-ever Mayhem Survival winner and ending with being the Female Wrestler of the Year?
Or perhaps her title reign, where Mercedes lost her place as a dominant champion that ended after six and a half months? Or 2017 when Mercedes in her Honor debut in Seattle began her undefeated streak. Or 2018 when Mercedes celebrated one full year still unpinned in the promotion
Or are we talking more broadly about when Mercedes' broke numerous records during her reign? Or having made headlines joining GIFT at Turmoil after her title loss?
Napoleon was right. La gloria es efímera, pero laoscuridad es para siempre. Glory is fleeting, but obscurity is forever. People remember your fame, but once it's gone, it's forever. Mercedes would be never forgotten.
That's why there's the record books.
Mercedes, for a variety of reasons, refuses to die. Jealousy be damned. Like the Phoenix she will rise again and like the Empire she would strike back. Mercedes has had her ups and downs in her career but each time she came back stronger for it. Mercedes has never been, nor will ever be, Alicia Lukas, Sam Tolson, or Courtney Leinart-Steele.
She was in a class all by herself.
So of course she will have more glory days, but not in the same way those names have them. Maybe she'll never see it again.
For everybody who believes that, believes this. Mercedes could never be as ready as she will be at the next Pride show in Laramie, Wyoming.
And if they didn't believe her, then they would just watch her.» ~~~ R A P I D C I T Y • S O U T H D A K O T AAn Honor Wrestling camera captured the orphaned dimly lit hallway, but the silence doesn't last long as movement stirred for the first time in a while. The slow yet steady thud of boots hitting the linoleum floor, echoing through the air announced the arrival of Mercedes Vargas turning the corner in the narrow corridor and strutting in the backstage area of Rushmore Plaza Civic Center after an improbable tag team victory tonight. She gives a gaze at the cameraman.Mercedes: YOU LIKE THAT! You. Like. That.That's as fired up as you'll ever see Mercedes after defying the odds again. She seems to have a knack for doing that.• • • Moments later, Mercedes exchanges high-fives with Winter, Tatsu, and Delia. The members of #AGIFT are in a pleasant mood, even though they split one of their two matches this night. We're in the women's lockerroom, where carry-on suitcases are splayed open. The wrestlers' makeup and their snacks spill out onto a faux granite countertop while clothing and costumes hang on nails or draped over benches as the girls change into street wear.Mercedes: Did you see that? That's how you get the job done, ladies. Tatsu: Let's see what Brooke has to say about that!Winter: Screw that. I want another shot at Jessie!Delia: Where did tonight get any of us? We don't know if vous"ll get z'at rematch, Mercedes z’is still stripped from her title rematch, and Brooke has been holding me back for far too long.Tatsu: Delia-san is right. It's not fair, it's not right. Brooke Saxon hates us. Look what she did to us in Mayhem.. Winter: So? She didn't get far, thanks to me.Mercedes: She's not going to stop until #GIFT is broken up. That tell us that we're a threat. If you tonight was good, we're going to find more reasons for Brooke to hate us. Because we're not done yet.***Fade***~~~It's Not Whether You Win or Lose: Face Value Present ♦ L O S A N G E L E S • C A L I F O R N I A[REC •] Clouds reflecting from a pair of sunglasses on top of a folded section of a newspaper. A female figure reaches for them. The camera pans to Mercedes Vargas wearing a baseball cap with the New York Giants logo with the sunglasses are on the brim. She began drumming on her steering wheel along with some song on the radio she forgot the name of while sitting idly in her Porsche Cabriolet. As if on cue, she turns to her left at the camera and unconsciously turns down the radio, then rests her arms over the car window."How's it going, Honor? You're good? Good. I on the other hand have a very, very, annoying problem. And this problem has been building itself up over the past couple of months, specifically all the way back to January, but it really got out of hand in May. This problem, Brooke Saxon, has made life for me and my friends very hostile in Honor, and that's not okay." Mercedes shakes her head slowly, a solemn look on her face as she continues."Not only has Brooke Saxon proven she's incompetent at her job, is incapable of making sound, logical decisions, and has allowed her authority to get completely out of control, but now she's playing favorites when she's supposed to be impartial to the roster. Brooke gave Kate Steele - yes, the same Kate Steele who assaulted a makeup artist and Christina Rose right outside Brooke's office - an opportunity for a title match when she's done fuck all to deserve it, and the same can be said for Rose herself who is nowhere close to being a championship threat, especially when her daughter had to throw in the towel in her most recent title match because she couldn't stand seeing her mother getting her ass handed to her all across the ring. Brooke hand-picked opponents against me and the rest of GIFT to take us out, and it seems every time the odds are always against me because she still has a personal grudge against me. "My match last Pride? What person in their right mind would have me paired up with a newcomer with only a handful of matches under his belt as my partner but also have me face a near-seven foot tall near 300-plus pound man as one of my opponents? Granted, it wasn't about winning for me, it was about survival. I wouldn't wish what I went through on my worst enemy. I wouldn't wish the unfair treatment I've been getting from Brooke on anyone. People say it's my attitude why she's been on my case, but the real reason is I'm the only one in the company who is woman enough, and even man enough, to call out Brooke for what she is, a tyrant. Because it's me and #GIFT, we have to be punished because no one on the roster is telling Brooke that she's unfit for her job as an authority figure. No match is meaningless. You’d think the Commissioner of Honor would know that. She's as clueless as everyone says. No wonder people like Kate Steele want to take her out." Mercedes shrugs her shoulders, offering a sincere look of an apology, or as close to one as she could muster."So now I have Courtney Leinart-Steele in less than two weeks and to say I'm going to have my hands full with this one is an understatement. This is a match between former Honor Champions, a match between two women who made Sam Tolson look like a complete amateur and beat her for said title, and we're primarily responsible for running her out of wrestling promotions. You did that in WWH and I did that here in Honor, which explains why the bitch has been scarce for the past, oh, let's say, eleven months or so. "But oh lucky me! I'm facing wrestling royalty and there's just no way I can keep up with her in her court, right, Court? "It must have been so stressful teaming up with someone you don't like as your tag partner, but you and Austin beating the Ruins isn't what I would call an achievement when you consider Stacy and Debbi are in the top five for most losses in Honor. Sorry." Mercedes shrugs her shoulders, offering a sincere look of an apology, or as close to one as she could muster. "There was the Mayhem and despite being eliminated later than me, you stayed in the match for barely six minutes; at least I had twenty minutes in but still. And then you had Christina beat, you had her. But a draw doesn't mean anything." She shakes her head in the negative."Beating Latoya Hixx in your return match? Oh God, no. No wrestler has lost more matches than John Blade, and Latoya Hixx is just as bad if not worse so it's no wonder why she has the second-most losses in the company after him." Mercedes speaks slowly, and clearly articulates her next words."Wrestling royalty, right? Well let me tell you something. You may be a queen, but you're not the queen of me. So put this in your royal proclamation, your highness. When we step into the ring, I hope you're as good as your threats and you better bring everything you got in eight days, Courtney. I want it all. Every ounce of skill, determination and will you have, sweetheart, because I want to see the look on your face when you give it your all and realize not that you weren't good, but you weren't good enough." Mercedes is caught between resolve and anger, moving her arms a lot while speaking."If Brooke doesn't think I'm the best, I'll be more than happy to prove her wrong and take back my mantle and if it means going through someone who hasn't been seen in an Honor ring for a little over a year and her new flavor of the week, well, guess who's about to end up on my checklist? "I'm too important in this company to ever be considered a stepping stone. I’ve reached milestones, shattered records, and dominated opponents since I joined the roster. With or without a title, until someone actually pins my shoulders to the mat or make me tap, I've proven without a doubt that I'm the alpha female in the women's division who's aligned with the greatest collection of talent this company has ever seen and it won't be long before #GIFT holds all the titles in Honor Wrestling. Jessie Salco is next, and regardless of what happens in the main event, Alicia is fucked either way at Zero Hour so she better take a selfie with the Honor Championship one last time because it's coming home." Mercedes now speaks in Spanish, with her translation being highlighted."¿Quiere lanzar otra llave dentro de la maquinaria, Brooke? ¿Quiere lanzar otro obstáculos en mi camino, siga teniéndome saltando a través de aros? ¡Dale!" "You want to throw another wrench in the works, Brooke? You want to throw another obstacle in my way, have me keep jumping through hoops? Bring it!"Mercedes opens her arms wide in challenge, now facing directly at the camera."Todavía estoy voy pasando por los competición y convertirá en el retador Nº 1 de nuevo muy pront, ¡ya verás! ¡Todos verán!" "I'm still going to go through the competition and become the number one contender again very soon, you'll see. You'll all see!""Porque haré lo que sea necesario para ser el campeona mundial." "Because I'll do whatever it takes to be world champion."She points at the camera."¿Y tú? Courtney, ¿Crees que puedes detenerme? Me gustaría verte intentarlo." "And you? Courtney, you think you can stop me? I'd like to see you try.""Estar preparado para lo peor, esperar lo mejor." "Hope for the best, prepare for the worst."Mercedes stares menacing into the camera. She lowers her voice, barely a whisper."Y que la suerte está siempre en su favor." "And may the odds be ever in your favor."
