CASEY HOLLIDAY PRODUCTIONS PRESENTS…
ALTERNATIVE HISTORY!
The scene fades into a small studio audience where Casey’s two friends, Bianca Vasquez and Hayley Halsey, are standing by a big screen television in the center of the stage. Some applause is heard as the two ladies begin the show.
Hayley: Hello and welcome to this special Pay-Per-View edition of “Alternative History” where Bianca and I take a look at Casey Holliday’s historic UCI Championship run.
Bianca: Yes, it is without question the most underrated, underappreciated championship reign in Action Wrestling today… not to mention the longest running. Casey will be joining us soon, but first… let’s recap her incredible 16 and 0 winning streak.
Hayley: Frank Solomon, Karlie & Anton, Mike Massaro & Claire Hawkins, Sean Craven, Kevin Bishop, Jason Schneider, Alexander Pasternak, Zombie McMorris, Lisa Foster and of course, Andre Holmes.
Bianca: That is quite an extensive list of people she has overcome to get to where she is today and in the cases of ZMAC and Andre… she was the underdog in BOTH matches. But what if this all… never happened? What would be the fate of the UCI Championship and Casey’s career herself if we took two victories from that streak and reversed those wins?
Hayley: Exhibit A… a triple threat match a few months ago where Casey was taking on Mike Massaro and Claire Hawkins in a non-championship triple threat. For an extra twist on “Alternative History”... we’re going to also make this a championship match… let’s reverse that win and see what happens…
The big screen behind both women show a mock match with Casey, a random jobber portraying Mike Massaro and Hayley cosplaying as Claire Hawkins in which Casey hits the Stock Plunge on “Massaro” and “Claire” (Hayley) clubs her from behind with the championship and picks up the scraps, pinning “Massaro” and winning the UCI Championship.
Bianca: Ouch… that looks bad… what would have happened to the championship had that triple threat been a title match? Keep watching to find out…
The big screen then shows Hayley, as Claire, completely stereotyping with a cheap Halloween costume and a fake cauldron.
Hayley (as Claire): CURSES…. CURSES… CURSES…. This belt is CURSED with POISON from a dead company! It must be destroyed! I disavow all claims of this cursed trinket’s existence! I shall cast a spell that rids wrestling of UCI once and for all…
Hayley drops a replica of the championship in the fake cauldron resulting in cheap, fake smoke coming out of it.
Hayley (as Claire): I shall now CURSE Casey Holliday to NEVER… HAVE SUCCESS… AGAIN!!!!
The fake cauldron explodes, cutting to a special video package showing the result of Claire’s curse to the song “You’re Pitiful” by Weird Al Yankovic… featuring Casey losing to Kevin Bishop, Dark Tiger, Lisa Foster and Alexander Pasternak and getting completely routed by the likes of Andre Holmes and Zombie McMorris… with Casey playing herself and the wrestlers mentioned being played by actors. The scene cuts back to the studio with Hayley and Bianca cringing at the thought.
Hayley: Yikes… that’s a scary thought.
Bianca: In hindsight, from a personal perspective, I’m so glad Casey won that match. Not to mention that Claire gave her a hell of a fight.
Hayley: Yeah, but the possibility of being cursed to irrelevance… still, that was definitely an important win on Casey’s resume considering Claire IS a threat on any given night and that she branded her as “irrelevant” going into that match. Anyway, let’s go back to when Casey cashed in her Golden Ticket. What if… she didn’t win?
Bianca: Worse… what if THIS happened?
The big screen comes on again showing what’s supposed to be Casey’s UCI Championship win over Anton Chase and Karlie Nash. Casey hits a Stock Plunge on an actor playing Anton but Karlie Nash (played by Bianca) comes in from behind and tosses her out of the ring, stealing the pin on Anton and winning the UCI Championship.
After a brief static, “Karlie Nash” is in an interview holding a replica of the championship.
Interviewer: Karlie, you just won the UCI Championship. Your thoughts?
Bianca (as Karlie): This title means nothing to me. I’ll just declare UCI dead and buried forever and move on to bigger and better things… even if this is the only thing I will ever accomplish in my career....
“Karlie” shrugs and dumps the UCI Championship in the trash can before walking away.
After another static cut, the presentation features Casey tossing things around the locker room breaking everything in sight… pissed off at what happened.
Casey: ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS??? OF ALL THE PEOPLE THAT RUINED MY GOLDEN TICKET, IT HAD TO BE HER? THE FUCKING UCI BOTTOM FEEDING PIECE OF SHIT?
Casey walks out of the locker room into an interview…
Interview: Casey, Karlie stole your moment and the UCI title is in the trash. Your Golden Ticket is now officially meaningless.
Casey: AND SO IS MY CAREER! FUCK THIS! I QUIT! I’M DONE! I CAN’T SHOW MY FACE AROUND HERE AGAIN AFTER LOSING TO KARLIE NASH!
Casey kicks the bucket on her AW career… literally… and walks out of the scene. The big screen goes off and the scene is back to Hayley and Bianca… cringing even more…
Bianca: So, the UCI title and the legacy that comes with it would have been instantly dead…
Hayley: And so would have Casey’s career. I wouldn’t have blamed her. Losing to Claire is one thing… but KARLIE NASH?
Bianca: Which begs the question… what if that actually happens tonight?
Hayley: I think Casey is a much more mature person now than she would have been then. Remember… at the time of those two matches, Casey wasn’t a fan favorite. She was brainwashed and controlled by her douchebag ex-boyfriend at the time and she was largely seen as someone holding on to a dead championship who had yet to validate a damn thing.
Bianca: But Hayley and I have watched Casey grow up into one hell of a champion. She’s overcome her mistakes and every obstacle thrown in front of her and it’s a damn shame she’s not in consideration to challenge #beachkrew and their nonsense.
Hayley: During this UCI Championship reign and undefeated run, we have watched Casey grow from malcontent brat to an exemplerary young woman and it warms my heart personally to see that growth in her. Casey… we just want you to know that even if one of your two opponents tonight do take that title from you… they’re not going to take away the wrestler you’ve become during your reign.
Bianca: We’re proud of you for turning that leaf over and doing what so few champions in AW do today and that’s create the memories that you have with that championship from that undefeated run, to six successful defenses that included Bishop, McMorris and Holmes… three of UCI’s all time greats, and everything in between… you’re like that virtuoso artist who’s work may not be noticed now, but who will be forever appreciated once your work is done.
Casey (from a distance): Aw… you’re both so sweet!
The fans erupt with cheers as UCI Champion Casey Holliday walks onto the stage with a confident smile on her face. She gets to her two friends, starting with Bianca.
Casey: Thank you for forgiving me…
Bianca: I’m so glad you came around…
The two exchange a hug before Casey goes to Hayley next.
Casey: Thanks for never giving up on me…
Hayley: There was no way I could… not after all our years as friends…
Casey: Hayley and Bianca everyone… and they did a great job putting this together.
The studio audience applauds as Hayley and Bianca leave the stage, leaving Casey alone. Casey goes from a smiling demeanor to that of someone who is super serious. At this point, the audience knows that she’s about to get really serious about what’s on her mind… and that’s her championship defense tonight.
Casey: Six times I have defended this championship. That’s a record. 194 days I have held this title, also a record. At this point I am playing with house money against the two of you, Karlie and Claire. You would think that I’d be overconfident, having beaten you btoh before in separate triple threat matches. But no… that’s not the case. Maybe the Casey of old that you faced then… but not now. If you watched that earlier presentation, you know that either one of you winning my championship would be devastating for UCI’s legacy… a legacy that I have defended constantly in the face of criticism ever since I won it and changed my tune, a legacy that I ahve no doubt you both want to destroy and you know what the sad thing is? Neither one of you even DESERVE a shot at my title because when you btoh had your number one contender’s match, NEITHER of you won! So the solution was to give you both this opportunity? Really? Fine. I’ve never backed down from a challenge but let’s talk about that shall we?
Claire Hawkins… I remember you. We’ve got some history. The last time we were in that ring together, we teamed up and won a tag team match but before that… we faced off in a triple threat. Remember that? Remember the words you used toward me then? “The one people cared about the least”.”Uninteresting blend of a mess”, “a name that means nothing”. Isn’t it ironic that ever since I beat you, that’s exactly what you have become? Winning a bunch of triple threats and tag matches? Winning Pay-Per-View matches against the likes of Ace Dillinger who is okay, but not great. And have you STILL come up clutch in a big match situation?
NO!
Case in point… in October… you had a chance to win the United States Championship and in ture, Claire Hawkins choke form… you lost. But hey… POTENTIAL… right? So you get a chance to be the number one contender to my championship and all you have to do is beat Karlie fucking Nash to do that… AND YOU DON’T DO IT! If you can’t even beat Karlie, what kind of chance do you have against ME? You are becoming… with every big match failure… the Buffalo Bills of Action Wrestling… good enough to get to the big game… but never good enough to win it. I proved it once when I beat you in that triple threat and tonight, I get to prove it again. I’ve got the passion for this title that YOU don’t. This title means nothing to you because all you care about is hurting people. That… and your inability to beat Karlie… makes you unworthy of this…
And speaking of unworthy…
Karlie…
Whatever obsession you have with me, can you please let it go for your own sake?
God, every time you have a chance, you love taking cheap shots at me whether it’s invading my social media stream or whether it’s calling me an “invisible champion”... which… SERIOUSLY? That’s the BEST you can come up with? I’d take that more seriously if it didn’t come from someone who has a long history of being an invisible winner. Not to mention… you’ve had HOW many chances at this title? At least three by my count. Hey, remind me what happened the last two times you had a #1 contender’s match for it. Oh right, you drew with Claire and ZMAC beat you. I don’t understand WHY you keep getting shots at a title you CLEARLY don’t want… talking about how you’re going to bury the title, bashing UCI every chance you get and I kept asking myself… why? Why does Karlie Nash keep taking jabs at me? Why does she hate UCI so much?
I can some it up in two words. JEALOUSY. BITTERNESS.
You’re BITTER about UCI because you accomplished NOTHING there. Granted, you haven’t done much here either but my god, you were the tamed kitten that lost practically every match you were booked for. You’ve done better in AW, I will give you that, but that’s like going from the bottom of the trash pile to someone who… honestly…is mediocre at best. You put yourself out there as a threat, you get ALL these chances for various championships and all you do is LOSE… every. Single. Time. You’re BITTER that you went NOWHERE in UCI which is why you’re so hellbent on burying my title and burying the legacy that came with it when you should be fucking THANKFUL that UCI even gave someone like YOU your first big break when honestly… you haven’t shown in either company why you deserved that big break. Hey, I’d be bitter too if all I did in UCI was LOSE.
And also… you’re jealous… of ME!
THAT is why you can’t stand me. That is why you take your cheap bullshit shots. You see me and you see the wrestler you WANT to be: successful, prodigious and most of all CLUTCH! You lose EVERY opportunity you get and thus far in AW, I’ve won them all! You HATE the fact that it was ME and not you that walked out with this championship back in August. You can’t STAND the fact that while you’re languishing in mediocrity with your 18-19 record, I on the other hand, have dominated while picking up ALMOST the same amount of wins in AW in HALF the time you’ve been here. Being bitter and jealous gets you NOWHERE. I know this… it led me to being taken out of UCI by beachkrew! And it’s going to get you NOWHERE tonight because tonight?
I give you ANOTHER reason to be jealous of me!
I give you ANOTHER reason to hate me.
We’re not in an alternative history where Karlie fucking Nash wins the big one. We’re in a REALITY where Casey Clutch comes through AGAIN with her seventh successful defense, 17-0
Quit blaming me for YOUR mediocrity, Karlie. Quit being bitter toward me for YOUR pathetic inadequacy to get it done when it matters. Because the facts are… of the three of us?
I’m the only one of us that even DESERVES this championship. Why? Because I WANT to be UCI Champion. Why? Because unlike the two of you last week, when it matters most?
I WIN!
Sorry Karlie… there can only be ONE Casey Holliday and it’ll NEVER be you!
Sorry Claire… you may be good, but you don’t have what it takes to be clutch.
In an alternative universe and in an alternative history… sure. You’d both stand a chance.
But in this reality?
Still UCI Champion. 17-0!
Haters. Gonna. Hate.
Casey hears applause and maintains a determined, angry glare on her face as the broadcast cuts out.
ALTERNATIVE HISTORY!

I WIN!
Sorry Karlie… there can only be ONE Casey Holliday and it’ll NEVER be you!
Sorry Claire… you may be good, but you don’t have what it takes to be clutch.
In an alternative universe and in an alternative history… sure. You’d both stand a chance.
But in this reality?
Still UCI Champion. 17-0!
Haters. Gonna. Hate.
Casey hears applause and maintains a determined, angry glare on her face as the broadcast cuts out.
