PART I – STACY MEETS A NEW FRIEND
OFF CAMERA
Date
April 27th, 2014
Location
The Office Pub in Toronto, Ontario, Canada
The scene opens as I am sitting here drowning away my sorrows at the bar dressed in a pair of black leather high heeled leather boots, a pair of black leather skin tight pants, a black Lacuna Coil T-shirt and a black leather jacket. I down my fifth Jack Daniels and Coke of the night and place the empty glass down on the bar as the bartender walks over to me.
Bartender
Same again?
I reach into my inside jacket pocket and take out my black leather purse, I pull out a twenty dollar bill and place it on the bar as I get to my feet.
Stacy
No thanks, keep the change…
I make my way out of the bar and begin heading down the street, heading back to my hotel room, I turn the corner and bump right into a woman who crashes to the ground with an almighty thud.
Stacy
Shit! Are you alright?
I stretch out my arm and she takes hold of my hand as I pull her up onto her feet, I notice that woman is dressed in a dirty white T-shirt, a pair of ripped, tattered light blue denim jeans, a pair of old worn away white trainers, a long old thick light brown coat, a pair of woollen fingerless grey gloves and a red scarf wrapped around her neck, clearly this woman is homeless.
Homeless Woman
I’m fine thanks…wait a minute…you’re Stacy Robinson aren’t you? The wrestler?
I look at her slightly confused, maybe she’s not homeless after all, or else how would she know who I am, unless homeless people in Canada have television access.
Stacy
Yeah, that’s me…and you are?
Homeless Woman
Tayla…Tayla Williams…
She outstretches her hand for a handshake; I smile and accept her handshake.
Stacy
So Tayla, where do you live?
Tayla looks around, with a slight smile on her face; she outstretches her arms before looking back at me.
Tayla
Wherever’s warmest, which could be anywhere to be honest…
Her smile quickly fades to one of sadness, so she is homeless; this poor woman is living on the streets. But how did she know who I was?
Stacy
Forgive me Tayla, but if you’re homeless, how did you know who I was?
Tayla
Oh that’s easy…
She points to a house a little way down the street and I look to where she is pointing.
Tayla
The people who live in that house right there watch WCF all the time, every Sunday I come here and I hide in the bushes outside their window and watch the show…may sound a bit crazy and creepy but it’s the only way I manage to keep my sanity…I love wrestling…and you’re one of my favourites…
She’s right, that does sound a bit crazy and creepy, but then again, during my entire wrestling career, I’ve come across a Hell of a lot of people who are crazier and creepier.
Stacy
Tell you what Tayla, I’m heading back to my hotel room and you look like you could do with a nice hot shower, some clean fresh clothes and a good meal. How about you come back with me and I’ll get all of that sorted for you…
Tayla
You’d really do that for me?
Stacy
Hey, I’m not the People’s Champion for nothing…
The two of us share a small chuckle with one another.
Stacy
But in all seriousness, it’s not in my nature to be unkind to someone in need…
Tayla
Thank you, I really appreciate this…
Stacy
Don’t mention it…
The two of us begin making our way down the street towards the hotel I’m staying at as the scene fades.

The scene re-opens as I am sitting here on the couch drinking a glass of wine when Tayla walks out of the bathroom with a white towel wrapped around her slender body and a light pink towel wrapped around her head. I stare at her glistening wet body before I suddenly snap out of it and realise she’s talking to me.
Tayla
Stacy, are you listening to me? Where are my clothes?
I get to my feet and grab a pile of my own clothes off the table beside me and walk over to her and hand them over.
Stacy
Sorry Tayla…here…
She takes the clothes from me and gives me a cheeky smile, she probably realised that I was checking her out.
Stacy
You can get changed in my room…
Tayla
Thanks…
She turns around and disappears into my room, closing the door behind her as I sit back down and take another drink of my glass of wine.
Stacy
Way to make it obvious Stacy…
Suddenly a knock on the door is heard, I get to my feet again and make my way over to the front door and open it to find that it’s room service.
Stacy
Oh, thank you…
I take the tray of food from the man; I place it on the side table before reaching into my pocket and taking out a ten dollar bill and placing it into his hand.
Stacy
There you go…
The man nods and smiles in appreciation before I close the door behind me and pick the tray of food back up and bring it into the lounge area and set it on the table. At that moment, Tayla exits my bedroom dressed in the latest black Stacy Robinson T-shirt, a pair of black leather skin tight pants and a pair of black high heeled shoes.
Tayla
I’ve always wanted to own one of your official T-shirts…
Stacy
Keep it, matter of fact you can keep the trousers and shoes, I’ve got plenty of clothes…
Tayla smiles before she notices that I’m setting up the food I ordered from room service.
Tayla
Oh good, the food’s here, I haven’t had a proper meal in ages…
She swiftly makes her way over to me and sits down, I give her the plate of food I set up for her and she begins tucking into it.
Stacy
So Tayla, don’t you have any family or anything?
She shakes her head whilst chewing her food; she then swallows the mouthful of food.
Tayla
Nope, my parents died when I was young and I was a lonely child, never known any other family…
This woman has nobody, I can’t in all good consciousness just let her go back to being homeless and just carry on with my life and forget she ever existed. I get to my feet and make my way to the kitchen area.
Stacy
Would you like a glass of wine or something?
Tayla
Yes please…
I take another wine glass and fill it up with some wine and walk back over to her and pass it to her.
Stacy
Hey Tayla, what would you say if I asked you if you would like to become my manager?
Tayla stops eating suddenly and stares at me with a surprised expression on her face.
Tayla
Are you serious?
Stacy
I’m serious, I can’t in all good consciousness just leave you here to continue living on the streets, I’ll never be able to forgive myself if I did…
Tayla
Oh my God you are serious! Yes…I’ll be your manager…definitely!
Stacy
Great, we’ll get to the airport tomorrow then…
Tayla
Oh, where are we going?
Stacy
Paris…
Tayla
Paris? As in the capital of France?
Stacy
Indeed…
Tayla
Awesome!
We continue chatting together as the scene fades.

PART II – MARINA MEETS AN OLD FRIEND
OFF CAMERA
Date
April 29th, 2014
Location
A bar in Toronto, Ontario, Canada
The scene fades in to a Toronto bar, two nights following the Aftermath show. Marina Valdivia is just having out for the moment, having a glass of water. She's having a tough time still stomaching the setback she had. She's nowhere near depressed, but she doesn't have the greatest mood in the world, having fallen short in the biggest match of her career in a year.
Marina
I guess it just wasn't meant to be...
Marina sighs as she takes another drink of her water. Fortunately, on this night, she's not worrying about her darker side taking over.
Marina
At least I have enough strength in me to keep a certain dark side away, for now.
Ruby red is the theme tonight, as she's dressed elegantly in a red silk dress. That and the bright red lipstick really stand out in her look. She's having one of those rare nights on the town all on her own.
Marina
I don't feel so bad about losing, I just feel like I've let some people down...
Voice
Really now?
Marina turns toward where the voice came from and she instantly becomes stunned by what she's seeing: a familiar face.
Voice
You didn't let me down Marina.
Marina
Gabby? What are you doing here?
Gabriella Salinas is a wrestler that Marina had worked with for many years in one of her previous companies. She swoops in the scene and sits down right next to her.
Marina
And WOW, what is up with what you're wearing....
Gabriella has a similar get up to Marina, only she's wearing black and her top has a netting fabric, so her bra is visible.
Gabriella
Let's just say that I'm embracing my own vanity. But I just needed to come see you! I watched your match and you were phenomenal. You didn't win, but you were phenomenal. It reminded me of the Marina I knew, the same one that taught me to go that extra mile to be one of the best in this business. As a friend, and as a rival, you brought that out of me and I owe you everything. If it wasn't for you, I don't think I'd still be wrestling, so I figured I'd stop by and show that appreciation for me. Even NOW, you still inspire me.
Marina smiles at what she hears.
Marina
I'm so glad to hear that. Wow Gabby, I remember when we were on that European tour, many years ago. You were this scared, nervous, green rookie that approached me out of nowhere in Vienna freaking Austria of all places. I honestly thought you were just a fan at first, but that's neither here nor there. You sought me for advice, I gave it to you. We eventually became a team for a little bit and you learned so much from me. And then, our friendship got fractured because of that dark side of mine...
Marina has a regretful look on her face. Gabriella just gives a reassuring smile.
Gabriella
Marina, that dark side of you did so much for my career. When our friendship got fractured, we became rivals. I became a superstar because of your actions toward me, cruel actions. I became what I am because for so long, you pushed me to be better. I wouldn't sell that side of you short.
Marina
It still hurt so many people.
Gabriella
I know, but that was then and this is now. NOW? I'm famous as shit down in Mexico. I have completely taken over that scene. I don't see myself coming back to America and Canada anytime soon. I think I can do without that pressuring backstage environment we once worked for. But, seeing what you've been doing in WCF has me thinking. Now, Miranda Rivers and I have been talking. I know, hard to believe. But I was thinking that instead of who you got with you in this Trios tournament coming up, why don't you go to Seth Lerch and get us contracts to WCF so WE could be your partners. Huh? Now, I haven't approached Miranda about it, but wouldn't that be awesome to have the three most successful women in THW history on one team?
Marina laughs.
Marina
Gabby, that's one hell of an idea, I will admit. But, what's wrong with my team?
Gabriella
What's wrong with your team? That cowboy that's part of your team? What a joke! He's a piece of shit who will never win the big one. There's nothing good about him. Oh sure, he's won a championship here and there, but never anything substantial. Isn't he the proverbial punching bag in WCF aside from that Adam Young loser?
Marina
Gabby, come on. There's nothing wrong with him. Sure, he hasn't won the big one yet, but he's not a bad person.
Gabriella
Well, let me tell you something Marina, having him on your team and going up against a team that has chemistry like Caliban, Alpine and MacNeill? You know Miranda and I can help you take care of those guys. They want to talk about "revolutionary", shit Marina, we revolutionized the old company. They haven't come close to achieving their desired change in WCF. Doc Henry? That's so not a winner. He's a piece of shit like all the other rednecks on this planet.
Marina just sits there, a bit stunned.
Marina
Gabby, I don't remember you being so jaded and negative.
Gabriella
Marina, I'm just being honest. I'm not being negative. I want you to win that Trios Cup, but you won't do it with him or that... that thing you call a friend....
Marina
Okay Gabby, first off, she's not a "thing" and secondly, there is nothing wrong with Stacy Robinson. She's the People's champion for God's sake.
Gabriella
Does she not have a thing for you? My goodness, that's just wrong. She's nothing but a creep, a freak, and someone who needs to keep it in her fucking pants. You're better than her. Miranda is better than her. And fuck, you KNOW that I am ESPECIALLY better than her. Just the fact that I keep things "straight".
She pauses for a chuckle.
Gabriella
You see what I did there?
Marina gives Gabriella a look of disapproval.
Marina
Yes, and that was not only unfunny, but that was also extremely cruel of you.
Gabriella
I'm just speaking the truth here. I keep things straight, she doesn't. For her to come on to you like that? I mean hey girl, you choose your friends. But, I don't even see how you can be friends with someone like her. It's just as nonsensical as me ever being friends with that Vincent Matthews; you know what I'm saying? You're so much better off without her Marina, not just in the Trios, but in WCF in general. I mean listen, in THW, you would always kick people to the curb that weren't meeting your expectations. Hell, I remember when it was you, me and Hada Long-Rhodes and she wasn't pulling her weight and you kicked her off the wagon. Stacy is an anchor Marina, the sooner you realize it, the better. She's not really your friend. She's a creep who only wants to seduce you so she can screw you later, in more ways than one. If she came on to me...
Gabriella gestures to herself in a condescending fashion while Marina rolls her eyes.
Gabriella
And you know she would, I mean look at me? I'm 26 years old and I'm livin' like a queen, but really, if she came on to me, I'd knock her out. I have no use for people that play for the other team, or both teams. Bunch of confused losers I swear to God...
Marina
ENOUGH! It doesn't matter what team she plays for or what your feelings are about her. She is my FRIEND, whether you like it or not. I'm not saying you have to accept it, but if you tolerate it and stop trying to feed me this evil, twisted crap, you and I would be better off. Stacy is a great wrestler, and I have no reason not to trust her. She's been there for me since the first day I came into WCF and we're going to work together to win the Trios tournament.
Gabriella
It's a shame that you're going to have to carry some dead weight in those two excuses for partners you have there. Marina, I admire you, and you've inspired me so much. I will always appreciate everything you have ever done for me. I'm sorry but, considering the circumstances: the chemistry of your opponents, the fact that Stacy is probably going to be more focused on your boobs than on winning, the fact that Doc Henry is a piece of shit, it breaks my heart, having so much admiration for you, to have to put money against you. But that's how I feel. You're not going to win, and you're better off being on your own. You don't need that woman to be successful. She's going to ruin you. As a friend, I'm only trying to help. I don't want you to fall into the gutter just because Stacy and Doc are such inferior competitors.
Marina is really angry.
Marina (thinking)
It's like the darkness I once had is possessing her now. She was never like this when we worked together. She's so full of herself now. She's grown so arrogant. This isn't her.
Marina
Gabby, listen. I don't need your negativity. If you're not going to be positive about the Trios tournament, then I don't want to talk about it. One of the things I taught you was to always believe, and you're going against that now by not believing in me. I'm worried that you're going to go down the same path I did for three years.
Gabriella
What? That I'm going to be possessed by some dark demon and bury who I really am for three years? Nah, don't worry about me. Lord knows how many times I've learned from your mistakes. I'm not going to make the same mistake you did. But if you want to win the Trios, you need me. Your partners won't get the job done. So, last chance. You want to do it?
Marina
NO! Because unlike you Gabby, I actually believe in my own team. Besides, even if it did happen, the vibe you're giving me is that you'd want to swoop in for the pin in the finals to get the world title shot. You've got a mouth on you like Caliban, an apparent identity crisis like Alpine and a hard head like MacNeill. God damn...
Gabriella
I'm sorry for trying to help you. It's alright Marina, I know you'll inspire some more if you manage to carry your team to victory. Be careful though, you don't want Sequitus to get to you or Stacy to be committing visual sexual harassment and staring at your ass while you're in the ring.
Marina
I've had enough of this! Stop being so outrageous!
Gabriella
Okay, okay. I'll stop. Best of luck though, you're going to need it.
Marina rolls her eyes again. At this point, she stands up and walks away.
Gabriella
Hey! Did I upset you? I didn't mean to! Honestly!
Marina stops and turns back toward her.
Marina
I just need to get away from you right now. Just give me some space!
Gabriella
I'm sorry alright; I didn't mean to upset you.
She stands up and walks toward Marina.
Gabriella
Regardless of my feelings about your partners, you're still an inspiration to me. Now, let's have a celebration about our successes. Alright? Besides, it could be a while before we catch up again. I'll even pay for our drinks. What do you say?
Marina takes a deep breath.
Marina
Alright. But no more negativity! I've moved past that phase of my life.
Gabriella
Okay okay, I get it. Here's to a hell of a Trios run! Alright?
Marina
Alright.
With that, the two have smooth things over and they sit back down to order their drinks. Marina though, got a tad disturbed by such negativity. However, she's not going to let her Aftermath setback, Gabby's negativity or any potential disadvantages in the Trios tournament weigh her down. She believes in her partners, but most importantly, she believes in herself, no matter what anyone says about her.

PART III – THE COCK CHILLS AT HIS MANSION
ON CAMERA
Date
April 28th, 2014
Location
Doc Henry’s Mansion
The scene opens as Doc Henry is sitting poolside at his mansion, with him are both his wife Mary, and Chuy. The three are sitting around enjoying hand rolled Cuban cigars and glasses of scotch.
Chuy
So, Bernardo, looks like you and the Señorita's will have your hands full on the next show...
Doc shrugged his shoulders as he puffed away on his cigar.
Doc
Eh, one could say we have the disadvantage with the boys in Sequitus used to being a team. However, both Stacy and Marina are proving themselves more than capable in the ring. One’s already a champion and it's about damn time the WCF had an all female tag team…
Chuy
But Bernardo, you’re not a woman...
Doc just shoots Chuy a look.
Doc
No shit Sherlock...who better to help them form a cohesive bond as a team than arguably the best tag champion in WCF. Hell, one of the most decorated at least. When we talked about the formation of this team, we knew the road was going to be tough and that we couldn't afford to look too far ahead. Our goal is to get through this week, no more no less…
Chuy
Bernardo, you know what I think about this whole affair. I just want to make sure your head is in the game.
Doc
Chuy, my head hasn't been clearer…
Chuy
Si, but let's not forget that what lies beyond the Bernardo's of Sequitus is not only a shot at the World Title, but the others get a Tag Title shot...
Doc puffed his cigar and sipped on his scotch in silence for a few.
Doc
Chuy, that is the end goal indeed. I've been wanting to ass a run as World Champion for quite some time now. To just coast by and not do the best I can for not just myself, but the ladies would put all that to the wood chipper. Yes, the grand plan is for me to go on and challenge for, and capture the World Title, as Stacy Robinson and Marina Valdivia do the same with the Tag Titles. Now, granted that’s if we do make it through to the finals anything can happen. Any of the three of us could get the win for the team, and while I would be disappointed that I wasn't the one getting my due shot at the top belt, I have no issue in capturing my sixth Tag Title with either of those two women.
Chuy finished his drink and shrugged.
Chuy
Well Bernardo, either of those belts would cement your career. You've all but been every singles champion, and are tied as the most successful tag champion. Really, you have the most to lose in this whole tournament...
Doc shakes his head.
Doc
Damn Chuy, way to rain on a guy's confidence. I know what is on the line in this. The boys in Sequitus are no joke, and it only gets tougher from there... Jordan Caliban and Cormack MacNeill have proven themselves to be tough as nails in the ring. They will definitely prove to be a handful. Now, Brent Alpine is a bit of a wild card in this equation, only because his body of work isn't as readily available to study. Brent is a rising star for sure, and it would behove us to make sure and not to overlook him.
Doc stood and stretched, dropping his robe, and making for the hot tub, Mary already waiting in it for him. Doc slid into the hot water and let out a sigh of pleasure.
Doc
My old Sifu always said that in a fight that it's not about anger, it's about peace. That we cannot let ourselves lose the focus that is found in ourselves. That it's not about power, it's about grace. Where a fight is nothing more than a dance, with elements of violence. Like ballet and death. That it's not about knowing your enemy, it's about knowing yourself. You can study your opponents all you want, but that does you know good if you don't know who you are.
Chuy
Bernardo sounds like a wise man, Bernardo. Do you think that Bernardita y Bernardita will understand the same in time?
Doc shrugged.
Doc
One can never tell old friend, but each person attains enlightenment and understanding in their own time. I will do my best to help Stacy and Marina for our battles ahead. Tonight though, I'm afraid that I must attend to my own needs and self...
Chuy laughed to himself as he stood.
Chuy
Si, sounds like you know yourself quite well. As I know I should probably hit the sack and get sleep before you two get too enthralled...
As Chuy walks off towards the guest wing of Doc's house, he turns to the camera to break the famous fourth wall.
Doc
Sequitus, this next week I can tell you one thing. Stacy, Marina and I will be walking out of Paris, France with the victory and moving on to the next round. Now, I can go on and on droning about you three, and why you will lose. That, would be counterproductive, I will scout you three as much as needed, but I know that victory this next Sunday lies not in knowing when and where your attacks will come, but by knowing how I will react to those attacks. Boys, don't go gettin’ yer gussie up. We'll be seeing you before you know it...
Doc then sits back and relaxes in his hot tub with his wife as the scene fades.

PART IV – LE COCK, LA DIAMOND STARLET ET LA PEOPLE’S CHAMPION
ON CAMERA
Date
May 3rd, 2014
Location
Top of the Eiffel Tower in Paris, France
The scene re-opens where I am leaning against the iron railings looking out over the beautiful capital of France, the great city of Paris. Dressed in a pair of black leather high heeled boots, a pair of black skin tight leather trousers, a black Nightwish Imaginaerum T-shirt and a black leather jacket, I stare out across the busy city before Marina Valdivia enters onto the scene.
Stacy
Oh hey Marina, Doc’s not here yet…
Marina
He's not? That's a shame. I'm hoping he arrives soon. We really need to blow this steam off considering things that have gone down lately.
Stacy
I’m actually glad he’s not here just yet; I need to talk to you…about the last time we spoke. I know I freaked you out with what I had said and I just wanted to apologize. I think it was just a lust thing I had for you, because I’ve met someone else recently, and I’m starting to fall for her…you should meet her…she’s great.
Marina
It's fine. I'm not worried about that so much anymore. It was just a bizarre thing, and that was something I tried to drill through someone's head the other night in Toronto, but some people are just hard headed. Anyway, great to hear you've appeared to have found someone.
Stacy
Thanks…
I look out at the city below us again and smile.
Stacy
Isn’t it beautiful? This is the first time I’ve ever been to Paris…
Marina
It is beautiful, and it brings back some memories. I haven't been here in five years since when I was on a European tour with the company I was working for at the time.
As we continue looking out at the city, our attention is diverted when Doc Henry arrives carrying three bottles of beer.
Doc
Sorry I’m late ladies, care for a drink?
Stacy
Don’t mind if I do…
I take one of the bottles from him as he offers the other one to Marina.
Marina
It's fine. I'm not in a drinking type of mood today…
She pauses for a few moments and sighs.
Marina
I guess the disappointment of Aftermath is still lingering a little bit…
Doc shrugs a little before he opens his bottle of beer and takes a swig.
Doc
Oh well, more for me then…and hey Marina…you did well out there at Aftermath. Yeah it’s disappointing that you lost, but not many people have been able to say that they’ve been able to hold their own against the likes of Oblivion, Terry Roberts and John Gable…
Stacy
Doc’s right Marina, plus, that was for the Television Championship, this tournament could get you a shot at the World Championship instead…
Marina
You're both right. It was just one of those nights were it wasn't meant to be, unfortunately. But, with a world title shot at stake here, this will mean everything, and there's no denying that. Those Sequitus guys? They wish they had the heart that we do…
Doc
I’ll drink to that…
He takes another swig of his beer as do I before I glance over to the camera.
Stacy
Speaking of our match this Sunday, the camera guy is here, we’re all here, how about we get things started…
Doc
Sounds good to me…
Marina
So, who wants to lead this one off?
Stacy
I will…
I turn to the camera and take another swig of my beer.
Stacy
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls of the WCF Galaxy, here we are at the top of the Eiffel Tower in Paris, France. Say hello to the winning team of the Trios Cup, you’ve got Doc ‘The Cock’ Henry, a former Tag Team, Television, United States, Hardcore, Internet and Confederation Champion...
Doc tips his hat towards the camera and nods.
Stacy
You’ve got the ‘Diamond Starlet’ herself, Marina Valdivia…
Marina smiles into the camera and nods.
Stacy
And you’ve got me, the current reigning WCF People’s Champion, Stacy Robinson...
I take another swig of my beer.
Stacy
Now, this Sunday the three of us take on Sequitus, the team of Jordan Caliban, Cormack MacNeill and Brent Alpine. Now, I could go on about how I defeated Jordan Caliban a few months back…and I could also go on about how two months ago, when I teamed with Chase Michaels and my ex-husband, we defeated you guys in a Six Person Tag Team match when Caliban was injured. But I’m not like that, because I understand that even though I currently hold victories over Caliban and Sequitus, I understand that doesn’t guarantee that I’ll be victorious this week. But with that said, based on the circumstances surrounding this match, this tournament…as in the winning team getting shots at the World Heavyweight and Tag Team Championships…you can guaran-fucking-tee that I am more than ready for this match on Sunday…I am one hundred and ten percent focused on advancing into the next round of this tournament…and I know what you’ll all be thinking…you’ll be thinking that I’ll be thinking about my title defence on next week’s Wednesday Night against Chelsea Black Armstrong…well you’re wrong…I am completely focused on this Sunday…and we WILL defeat you Sequitus…
Marina
Now, don't get us wrong. You guys got a heck of an impressive win at Aftermath against two game competitors in Jayden Thunder and Colin Marshall. But, what would have happened if that match really was three vs. three vs. three? The result obviously could have been a lot different. But, I'm not going to take away anything from what you guys were able to do. You guys are all about change; you guys are all about trying to be equal revolutionaries. I can respect that, but if you think for a second that the three of us are going to back down, you guys are dead wrong. Lately, you three have been trying to get something going with Oblivion. Now, I was in the ring with the guy at Aftermath and I can tell you straight up that he's no easy picnic. Then again Caliban, it seems that you have a history of trying to take on some of the biggest fish this company has to offer. Now, it's Oblivion, but at Explosion, you tried to take down Jonny Fly. You were great, and you even managed to kick out of the Fly Swatter, but at the end of the day, you still lost. Caliban, maybe you should pick on someone your own stature. While I proved I can hang with the likes of Oblivion and Gable last week, personally, you're biting off more than you can chew here with Oblivion, and with us. When we're on our game, we're very difficult to put away.
Doc
Exactly, you see boys, like Stacy pointed out earlier; I’ve held pretty much every championship this company has had, apart from the People’s Championship and the World Heavyweight Championship. So I’m going to be on my A game on Sunday, because I want to have gold around my waist once more, whether it be the World Heavyweight Championship or whether it be one of the Tag Team Championships! You see, I know what the three of you are all thinking; you’re thinking that you three are going to have the advantage going into this because you’re a team that’s been around for a while and are an established team who will remain loyal to one another. And I bet you think that because the three of us have kinda been thrown together so to speak, that we’ll just be looking out for ourselves…well you’re all dead wrong because we’re gonna have each other’s backs all the way to the end…
Doc finishes off his beer and cracks open the other one that Marina didn’t want.
Stacy
Yeah, I mean, we all know that if…no sorry…when we get to the finals of the Trios Cup Tournament, we know that the person who gets the final pinfall or submission, that person gets a shot at the World Heavyweight Championship where the other two get a shot at the Tag Team Championships, we get that, and we aint gonna sugar coat it, we all want to be the one who gets that decisive pinfall or submission, but you can bet your asses that it won’t cause us to implode…
Marina
Speaking of imploding, how about Brent Alpine lately? Brent, you're a talented wrestler, there's nobody denying you that. However, was your little theatre about faking your death and turning from the Shine to the Vine really necessary? You've proven yourself quite extensively in this company, being a former Television Champion and it sucks that you lost it by disqualification. It's too unfortunate that ultimately, you ended up looking like a real idiot when you got Quinn disqualified to get Chelsea Black Armstrong the Television Championship just so you could win it back from her at Explosion. Unfortunately, that plan blew up in your face didn't it? What makes you think that this change of yours is going to make things different? I know you've been through a humbling experience lately, but in my honest opinion, you haven't been humbled enough. Another reason why we've got this is your confidence problems. Those problems were the reason why you were humbled so much. Your confidence problems could in fact, be the anchor to Sequitus. As a matter of fact, who you are contradicts the message of Sequitus. Sequitus, from what I understand, is supposed to be a group of revolutionaries. How can you be a revolutionary, when you unsuccessfully warded off your own confidence's revolution against you? To be a revolutionary, you have to take on all comers, including yourself. Your change signifies that you couldn't take on yourself, so how do you think you're going to take us on?
Doc
Very well put Marina, I mean, with Caliban always picking fights with guys who are way more talented than he is, with Alpine not even being able to take on himself, never mind a team like ours, it seems as if Cormack MacNeill is the only member of this team who is actually going to be any kind of threat to us this Sunday. But of course, with that said, we’re not fools, and we’re sure as Hell not going to underestimate either one of you. This Sunday on Slam, live from Paris, France…Doc the Cock…the Diamond Starlet and the People’s Champion…are going to beat Sequitus…and edge further and further closer to becoming the future World Heavyweight and Tag Team Champions!
The three of us laugh as Doc and I clink our bottles together before we all disappear off camera as the scene fades.

The scene opens as I am sitting here drowning away my sorrows at the bar dressed in a pair of black leather high heeled leather boots, a pair of black leather skin tight pants, a black Lacuna Coil T-shirt and a black leather jacket. I down my fifth Jack Daniels and Coke of the night and place the empty glass down on the bar as the bartender walks over to me.
Bartender
Same again?
I reach into my inside jacket pocket and take out my black leather purse, I pull out a twenty dollar bill and place it on the bar as I get to my feet.
Stacy
No thanks, keep the change…
I make my way out of the bar and begin heading down the street, heading back to my hotel room, I turn the corner and bump right into a woman who crashes to the ground with an almighty thud.
Stacy
Shit! Are you alright?
I stretch out my arm and she takes hold of my hand as I pull her up onto her feet, I notice that woman is dressed in a dirty white T-shirt, a pair of ripped, tattered light blue denim jeans, a pair of old worn away white trainers, a long old thick light brown coat, a pair of woollen fingerless grey gloves and a red scarf wrapped around her neck, clearly this woman is homeless.
Homeless Woman
I’m fine thanks…wait a minute…you’re Stacy Robinson aren’t you? The wrestler?
I look at her slightly confused, maybe she’s not homeless after all, or else how would she know who I am, unless homeless people in Canada have television access.
Stacy
Yeah, that’s me…and you are?
Homeless Woman
Tayla…Tayla Williams…
She outstretches her hand for a handshake; I smile and accept her handshake.
Stacy
So Tayla, where do you live?
Tayla looks around, with a slight smile on her face; she outstretches her arms before looking back at me.
Tayla
Wherever’s warmest, which could be anywhere to be honest…
Her smile quickly fades to one of sadness, so she is homeless; this poor woman is living on the streets. But how did she know who I was?
Stacy
Forgive me Tayla, but if you’re homeless, how did you know who I was?
Tayla
Oh that’s easy…
She points to a house a little way down the street and I look to where she is pointing.
Tayla
The people who live in that house right there watch WCF all the time, every Sunday I come here and I hide in the bushes outside their window and watch the show…may sound a bit crazy and creepy but it’s the only way I manage to keep my sanity…I love wrestling…and you’re one of my favourites…
She’s right, that does sound a bit crazy and creepy, but then again, during my entire wrestling career, I’ve come across a Hell of a lot of people who are crazier and creepier.
Stacy
Tell you what Tayla, I’m heading back to my hotel room and you look like you could do with a nice hot shower, some clean fresh clothes and a good meal. How about you come back with me and I’ll get all of that sorted for you…
Tayla
You’d really do that for me?
Stacy
Hey, I’m not the People’s Champion for nothing…
The two of us share a small chuckle with one another.
Stacy
But in all seriousness, it’s not in my nature to be unkind to someone in need…
Tayla
Thank you, I really appreciate this…
Stacy
Don’t mention it…
The two of us begin making our way down the street towards the hotel I’m staying at as the scene fades.

The scene re-opens as I am sitting here on the couch drinking a glass of wine when Tayla walks out of the bathroom with a white towel wrapped around her slender body and a light pink towel wrapped around her head. I stare at her glistening wet body before I suddenly snap out of it and realise she’s talking to me.
Tayla
Stacy, are you listening to me? Where are my clothes?
I get to my feet and grab a pile of my own clothes off the table beside me and walk over to her and hand them over.
Stacy
Sorry Tayla…here…
She takes the clothes from me and gives me a cheeky smile, she probably realised that I was checking her out.
Stacy
You can get changed in my room…
Tayla
Thanks…
She turns around and disappears into my room, closing the door behind her as I sit back down and take another drink of my glass of wine.
Stacy
Way to make it obvious Stacy…
Suddenly a knock on the door is heard, I get to my feet again and make my way over to the front door and open it to find that it’s room service.
Stacy
Oh, thank you…
I take the tray of food from the man; I place it on the side table before reaching into my pocket and taking out a ten dollar bill and placing it into his hand.
Stacy
There you go…
The man nods and smiles in appreciation before I close the door behind me and pick the tray of food back up and bring it into the lounge area and set it on the table. At that moment, Tayla exits my bedroom dressed in the latest black Stacy Robinson T-shirt, a pair of black leather skin tight pants and a pair of black high heeled shoes.
Tayla
I’ve always wanted to own one of your official T-shirts…
Stacy
Keep it, matter of fact you can keep the trousers and shoes, I’ve got plenty of clothes…
Tayla smiles before she notices that I’m setting up the food I ordered from room service.
Tayla
Oh good, the food’s here, I haven’t had a proper meal in ages…
She swiftly makes her way over to me and sits down, I give her the plate of food I set up for her and she begins tucking into it.
Stacy
So Tayla, don’t you have any family or anything?
She shakes her head whilst chewing her food; she then swallows the mouthful of food.
Tayla
Nope, my parents died when I was young and I was a lonely child, never known any other family…
This woman has nobody, I can’t in all good consciousness just let her go back to being homeless and just carry on with my life and forget she ever existed. I get to my feet and make my way to the kitchen area.
Stacy
Would you like a glass of wine or something?
Tayla
Yes please…
I take another wine glass and fill it up with some wine and walk back over to her and pass it to her.
Stacy
Hey Tayla, what would you say if I asked you if you would like to become my manager?
Tayla stops eating suddenly and stares at me with a surprised expression on her face.
Tayla
Are you serious?
Stacy
I’m serious, I can’t in all good consciousness just leave you here to continue living on the streets, I’ll never be able to forgive myself if I did…
Tayla
Oh my God you are serious! Yes…I’ll be your manager…definitely!
Stacy
Great, we’ll get to the airport tomorrow then…
Tayla
Oh, where are we going?
Stacy
Paris…
Tayla
Paris? As in the capital of France?
Stacy
Indeed…
Tayla
Awesome!

PART II – MARINA MEETS AN OLD FRIEND
OFF CAMERA
Date
April 29th, 2014
Location
A bar in Toronto, Ontario, Canada
The scene fades in to a Toronto bar, two nights following the Aftermath show. Marina Valdivia is just having out for the moment, having a glass of water. She's having a tough time still stomaching the setback she had. She's nowhere near depressed, but she doesn't have the greatest mood in the world, having fallen short in the biggest match of her career in a year.
Marina
I guess it just wasn't meant to be...
Marina sighs as she takes another drink of her water. Fortunately, on this night, she's not worrying about her darker side taking over.
Marina
At least I have enough strength in me to keep a certain dark side away, for now.
Ruby red is the theme tonight, as she's dressed elegantly in a red silk dress. That and the bright red lipstick really stand out in her look. She's having one of those rare nights on the town all on her own.
Marina
I don't feel so bad about losing, I just feel like I've let some people down...
Voice
Really now?
Marina turns toward where the voice came from and she instantly becomes stunned by what she's seeing: a familiar face.
Voice
You didn't let me down Marina.
Marina
Gabby? What are you doing here?
Gabriella Salinas is a wrestler that Marina had worked with for many years in one of her previous companies. She swoops in the scene and sits down right next to her.
Marina
And WOW, what is up with what you're wearing....
Gabriella has a similar get up to Marina, only she's wearing black and her top has a netting fabric, so her bra is visible.
Gabriella
Let's just say that I'm embracing my own vanity. But I just needed to come see you! I watched your match and you were phenomenal. You didn't win, but you were phenomenal. It reminded me of the Marina I knew, the same one that taught me to go that extra mile to be one of the best in this business. As a friend, and as a rival, you brought that out of me and I owe you everything. If it wasn't for you, I don't think I'd still be wrestling, so I figured I'd stop by and show that appreciation for me. Even NOW, you still inspire me.
Marina smiles at what she hears.
Marina
I'm so glad to hear that. Wow Gabby, I remember when we were on that European tour, many years ago. You were this scared, nervous, green rookie that approached me out of nowhere in Vienna freaking Austria of all places. I honestly thought you were just a fan at first, but that's neither here nor there. You sought me for advice, I gave it to you. We eventually became a team for a little bit and you learned so much from me. And then, our friendship got fractured because of that dark side of mine...
Marina has a regretful look on her face. Gabriella just gives a reassuring smile.
Gabriella
Marina, that dark side of you did so much for my career. When our friendship got fractured, we became rivals. I became a superstar because of your actions toward me, cruel actions. I became what I am because for so long, you pushed me to be better. I wouldn't sell that side of you short.
Marina
It still hurt so many people.
Gabriella
I know, but that was then and this is now. NOW? I'm famous as shit down in Mexico. I have completely taken over that scene. I don't see myself coming back to America and Canada anytime soon. I think I can do without that pressuring backstage environment we once worked for. But, seeing what you've been doing in WCF has me thinking. Now, Miranda Rivers and I have been talking. I know, hard to believe. But I was thinking that instead of who you got with you in this Trios tournament coming up, why don't you go to Seth Lerch and get us contracts to WCF so WE could be your partners. Huh? Now, I haven't approached Miranda about it, but wouldn't that be awesome to have the three most successful women in THW history on one team?
Marina laughs.
Marina
Gabby, that's one hell of an idea, I will admit. But, what's wrong with my team?
Gabriella
What's wrong with your team? That cowboy that's part of your team? What a joke! He's a piece of shit who will never win the big one. There's nothing good about him. Oh sure, he's won a championship here and there, but never anything substantial. Isn't he the proverbial punching bag in WCF aside from that Adam Young loser?
Marina
Gabby, come on. There's nothing wrong with him. Sure, he hasn't won the big one yet, but he's not a bad person.
Gabriella
Well, let me tell you something Marina, having him on your team and going up against a team that has chemistry like Caliban, Alpine and MacNeill? You know Miranda and I can help you take care of those guys. They want to talk about "revolutionary", shit Marina, we revolutionized the old company. They haven't come close to achieving their desired change in WCF. Doc Henry? That's so not a winner. He's a piece of shit like all the other rednecks on this planet.
Marina just sits there, a bit stunned.
Marina
Gabby, I don't remember you being so jaded and negative.
Gabriella
Marina, I'm just being honest. I'm not being negative. I want you to win that Trios Cup, but you won't do it with him or that... that thing you call a friend....
Marina
Okay Gabby, first off, she's not a "thing" and secondly, there is nothing wrong with Stacy Robinson. She's the People's champion for God's sake.
Gabriella
Does she not have a thing for you? My goodness, that's just wrong. She's nothing but a creep, a freak, and someone who needs to keep it in her fucking pants. You're better than her. Miranda is better than her. And fuck, you KNOW that I am ESPECIALLY better than her. Just the fact that I keep things "straight".
She pauses for a chuckle.
Gabriella
You see what I did there?
Marina gives Gabriella a look of disapproval.
Marina
Yes, and that was not only unfunny, but that was also extremely cruel of you.
Gabriella
I'm just speaking the truth here. I keep things straight, she doesn't. For her to come on to you like that? I mean hey girl, you choose your friends. But, I don't even see how you can be friends with someone like her. It's just as nonsensical as me ever being friends with that Vincent Matthews; you know what I'm saying? You're so much better off without her Marina, not just in the Trios, but in WCF in general. I mean listen, in THW, you would always kick people to the curb that weren't meeting your expectations. Hell, I remember when it was you, me and Hada Long-Rhodes and she wasn't pulling her weight and you kicked her off the wagon. Stacy is an anchor Marina, the sooner you realize it, the better. She's not really your friend. She's a creep who only wants to seduce you so she can screw you later, in more ways than one. If she came on to me...
Gabriella gestures to herself in a condescending fashion while Marina rolls her eyes.
Gabriella
And you know she would, I mean look at me? I'm 26 years old and I'm livin' like a queen, but really, if she came on to me, I'd knock her out. I have no use for people that play for the other team, or both teams. Bunch of confused losers I swear to God...
Marina
ENOUGH! It doesn't matter what team she plays for or what your feelings are about her. She is my FRIEND, whether you like it or not. I'm not saying you have to accept it, but if you tolerate it and stop trying to feed me this evil, twisted crap, you and I would be better off. Stacy is a great wrestler, and I have no reason not to trust her. She's been there for me since the first day I came into WCF and we're going to work together to win the Trios tournament.
Gabriella
It's a shame that you're going to have to carry some dead weight in those two excuses for partners you have there. Marina, I admire you, and you've inspired me so much. I will always appreciate everything you have ever done for me. I'm sorry but, considering the circumstances: the chemistry of your opponents, the fact that Stacy is probably going to be more focused on your boobs than on winning, the fact that Doc Henry is a piece of shit, it breaks my heart, having so much admiration for you, to have to put money against you. But that's how I feel. You're not going to win, and you're better off being on your own. You don't need that woman to be successful. She's going to ruin you. As a friend, I'm only trying to help. I don't want you to fall into the gutter just because Stacy and Doc are such inferior competitors.
Marina is really angry.
Marina (thinking)
It's like the darkness I once had is possessing her now. She was never like this when we worked together. She's so full of herself now. She's grown so arrogant. This isn't her.
Marina
Gabby, listen. I don't need your negativity. If you're not going to be positive about the Trios tournament, then I don't want to talk about it. One of the things I taught you was to always believe, and you're going against that now by not believing in me. I'm worried that you're going to go down the same path I did for three years.
Gabriella
What? That I'm going to be possessed by some dark demon and bury who I really am for three years? Nah, don't worry about me. Lord knows how many times I've learned from your mistakes. I'm not going to make the same mistake you did. But if you want to win the Trios, you need me. Your partners won't get the job done. So, last chance. You want to do it?
Marina
NO! Because unlike you Gabby, I actually believe in my own team. Besides, even if it did happen, the vibe you're giving me is that you'd want to swoop in for the pin in the finals to get the world title shot. You've got a mouth on you like Caliban, an apparent identity crisis like Alpine and a hard head like MacNeill. God damn...
Gabriella
I'm sorry for trying to help you. It's alright Marina, I know you'll inspire some more if you manage to carry your team to victory. Be careful though, you don't want Sequitus to get to you or Stacy to be committing visual sexual harassment and staring at your ass while you're in the ring.
Marina
I've had enough of this! Stop being so outrageous!
Gabriella
Okay, okay. I'll stop. Best of luck though, you're going to need it.
Marina rolls her eyes again. At this point, she stands up and walks away.
Gabriella
Hey! Did I upset you? I didn't mean to! Honestly!
Marina stops and turns back toward her.
Marina
I just need to get away from you right now. Just give me some space!
Gabriella
I'm sorry alright; I didn't mean to upset you.
She stands up and walks toward Marina.
Gabriella
Regardless of my feelings about your partners, you're still an inspiration to me. Now, let's have a celebration about our successes. Alright? Besides, it could be a while before we catch up again. I'll even pay for our drinks. What do you say?
Marina takes a deep breath.
Marina
Alright. But no more negativity! I've moved past that phase of my life.
Gabriella
Okay okay, I get it. Here's to a hell of a Trios run! Alright?
Marina
Alright.
With that, the two have smooth things over and they sit back down to order their drinks. Marina though, got a tad disturbed by such negativity. However, she's not going to let her Aftermath setback, Gabby's negativity or any potential disadvantages in the Trios tournament weigh her down. She believes in her partners, but most importantly, she believes in herself, no matter what anyone says about her.

PART III – THE COCK CHILLS AT HIS MANSION
ON CAMERA
Date
April 28th, 2014
Location
Doc Henry’s Mansion
The scene opens as Doc Henry is sitting poolside at his mansion, with him are both his wife Mary, and Chuy. The three are sitting around enjoying hand rolled Cuban cigars and glasses of scotch.
Chuy
So, Bernardo, looks like you and the Señorita's will have your hands full on the next show...
Doc shrugged his shoulders as he puffed away on his cigar.
Doc
Eh, one could say we have the disadvantage with the boys in Sequitus used to being a team. However, both Stacy and Marina are proving themselves more than capable in the ring. One’s already a champion and it's about damn time the WCF had an all female tag team…
Chuy
But Bernardo, you’re not a woman...
Doc just shoots Chuy a look.
Doc
No shit Sherlock...who better to help them form a cohesive bond as a team than arguably the best tag champion in WCF. Hell, one of the most decorated at least. When we talked about the formation of this team, we knew the road was going to be tough and that we couldn't afford to look too far ahead. Our goal is to get through this week, no more no less…
Chuy
Bernardo, you know what I think about this whole affair. I just want to make sure your head is in the game.
Doc
Chuy, my head hasn't been clearer…
Chuy
Si, but let's not forget that what lies beyond the Bernardo's of Sequitus is not only a shot at the World Title, but the others get a Tag Title shot...
Doc puffed his cigar and sipped on his scotch in silence for a few.
Doc
Chuy, that is the end goal indeed. I've been wanting to ass a run as World Champion for quite some time now. To just coast by and not do the best I can for not just myself, but the ladies would put all that to the wood chipper. Yes, the grand plan is for me to go on and challenge for, and capture the World Title, as Stacy Robinson and Marina Valdivia do the same with the Tag Titles. Now, granted that’s if we do make it through to the finals anything can happen. Any of the three of us could get the win for the team, and while I would be disappointed that I wasn't the one getting my due shot at the top belt, I have no issue in capturing my sixth Tag Title with either of those two women.
Chuy finished his drink and shrugged.
Chuy
Well Bernardo, either of those belts would cement your career. You've all but been every singles champion, and are tied as the most successful tag champion. Really, you have the most to lose in this whole tournament...
Doc shakes his head.
Doc
Damn Chuy, way to rain on a guy's confidence. I know what is on the line in this. The boys in Sequitus are no joke, and it only gets tougher from there... Jordan Caliban and Cormack MacNeill have proven themselves to be tough as nails in the ring. They will definitely prove to be a handful. Now, Brent Alpine is a bit of a wild card in this equation, only because his body of work isn't as readily available to study. Brent is a rising star for sure, and it would behove us to make sure and not to overlook him.
Doc stood and stretched, dropping his robe, and making for the hot tub, Mary already waiting in it for him. Doc slid into the hot water and let out a sigh of pleasure.
Doc
My old Sifu always said that in a fight that it's not about anger, it's about peace. That we cannot let ourselves lose the focus that is found in ourselves. That it's not about power, it's about grace. Where a fight is nothing more than a dance, with elements of violence. Like ballet and death. That it's not about knowing your enemy, it's about knowing yourself. You can study your opponents all you want, but that does you know good if you don't know who you are.
Chuy
Bernardo sounds like a wise man, Bernardo. Do you think that Bernardita y Bernardita will understand the same in time?
Doc shrugged.
Doc
One can never tell old friend, but each person attains enlightenment and understanding in their own time. I will do my best to help Stacy and Marina for our battles ahead. Tonight though, I'm afraid that I must attend to my own needs and self...
Chuy laughed to himself as he stood.
Chuy
Si, sounds like you know yourself quite well. As I know I should probably hit the sack and get sleep before you two get too enthralled...
As Chuy walks off towards the guest wing of Doc's house, he turns to the camera to break the famous fourth wall.
Doc
Sequitus, this next week I can tell you one thing. Stacy, Marina and I will be walking out of Paris, France with the victory and moving on to the next round. Now, I can go on and on droning about you three, and why you will lose. That, would be counterproductive, I will scout you three as much as needed, but I know that victory this next Sunday lies not in knowing when and where your attacks will come, but by knowing how I will react to those attacks. Boys, don't go gettin’ yer gussie up. We'll be seeing you before you know it...
Doc then sits back and relaxes in his hot tub with his wife as the scene fades.

PART IV – LE COCK, LA DIAMOND STARLET ET LA PEOPLE’S CHAMPION
ON CAMERA
Date
May 3rd, 2014
Location
Top of the Eiffel Tower in Paris, France
The scene re-opens where I am leaning against the iron railings looking out over the beautiful capital of France, the great city of Paris. Dressed in a pair of black leather high heeled boots, a pair of black skin tight leather trousers, a black Nightwish Imaginaerum T-shirt and a black leather jacket, I stare out across the busy city before Marina Valdivia enters onto the scene.
Stacy
Oh hey Marina, Doc’s not here yet…
Marina
He's not? That's a shame. I'm hoping he arrives soon. We really need to blow this steam off considering things that have gone down lately.
Stacy
I’m actually glad he’s not here just yet; I need to talk to you…about the last time we spoke. I know I freaked you out with what I had said and I just wanted to apologize. I think it was just a lust thing I had for you, because I’ve met someone else recently, and I’m starting to fall for her…you should meet her…she’s great.
Marina
It's fine. I'm not worried about that so much anymore. It was just a bizarre thing, and that was something I tried to drill through someone's head the other night in Toronto, but some people are just hard headed. Anyway, great to hear you've appeared to have found someone.
Stacy
Thanks…
I look out at the city below us again and smile.
Stacy
Isn’t it beautiful? This is the first time I’ve ever been to Paris…
Marina
It is beautiful, and it brings back some memories. I haven't been here in five years since when I was on a European tour with the company I was working for at the time.
As we continue looking out at the city, our attention is diverted when Doc Henry arrives carrying three bottles of beer.
Doc
Sorry I’m late ladies, care for a drink?
Stacy
Don’t mind if I do…
I take one of the bottles from him as he offers the other one to Marina.
Marina
It's fine. I'm not in a drinking type of mood today…
She pauses for a few moments and sighs.
Marina
I guess the disappointment of Aftermath is still lingering a little bit…
Doc shrugs a little before he opens his bottle of beer and takes a swig.
Doc
Oh well, more for me then…and hey Marina…you did well out there at Aftermath. Yeah it’s disappointing that you lost, but not many people have been able to say that they’ve been able to hold their own against the likes of Oblivion, Terry Roberts and John Gable…
Stacy
Doc’s right Marina, plus, that was for the Television Championship, this tournament could get you a shot at the World Championship instead…
Marina
You're both right. It was just one of those nights were it wasn't meant to be, unfortunately. But, with a world title shot at stake here, this will mean everything, and there's no denying that. Those Sequitus guys? They wish they had the heart that we do…
Doc
I’ll drink to that…
He takes another swig of his beer as do I before I glance over to the camera.
Stacy
Speaking of our match this Sunday, the camera guy is here, we’re all here, how about we get things started…
Doc
Sounds good to me…
Marina
So, who wants to lead this one off?
Stacy
I will…
I turn to the camera and take another swig of my beer.
Stacy
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls of the WCF Galaxy, here we are at the top of the Eiffel Tower in Paris, France. Say hello to the winning team of the Trios Cup, you’ve got Doc ‘The Cock’ Henry, a former Tag Team, Television, United States, Hardcore, Internet and Confederation Champion...
Doc tips his hat towards the camera and nods.
Stacy
You’ve got the ‘Diamond Starlet’ herself, Marina Valdivia…
Marina smiles into the camera and nods.
Stacy
And you’ve got me, the current reigning WCF People’s Champion, Stacy Robinson...
I take another swig of my beer.
Stacy
Now, this Sunday the three of us take on Sequitus, the team of Jordan Caliban, Cormack MacNeill and Brent Alpine. Now, I could go on about how I defeated Jordan Caliban a few months back…and I could also go on about how two months ago, when I teamed with Chase Michaels and my ex-husband, we defeated you guys in a Six Person Tag Team match when Caliban was injured. But I’m not like that, because I understand that even though I currently hold victories over Caliban and Sequitus, I understand that doesn’t guarantee that I’ll be victorious this week. But with that said, based on the circumstances surrounding this match, this tournament…as in the winning team getting shots at the World Heavyweight and Tag Team Championships…you can guaran-fucking-tee that I am more than ready for this match on Sunday…I am one hundred and ten percent focused on advancing into the next round of this tournament…and I know what you’ll all be thinking…you’ll be thinking that I’ll be thinking about my title defence on next week’s Wednesday Night against Chelsea Black Armstrong…well you’re wrong…I am completely focused on this Sunday…and we WILL defeat you Sequitus…
Marina
Now, don't get us wrong. You guys got a heck of an impressive win at Aftermath against two game competitors in Jayden Thunder and Colin Marshall. But, what would have happened if that match really was three vs. three vs. three? The result obviously could have been a lot different. But, I'm not going to take away anything from what you guys were able to do. You guys are all about change; you guys are all about trying to be equal revolutionaries. I can respect that, but if you think for a second that the three of us are going to back down, you guys are dead wrong. Lately, you three have been trying to get something going with Oblivion. Now, I was in the ring with the guy at Aftermath and I can tell you straight up that he's no easy picnic. Then again Caliban, it seems that you have a history of trying to take on some of the biggest fish this company has to offer. Now, it's Oblivion, but at Explosion, you tried to take down Jonny Fly. You were great, and you even managed to kick out of the Fly Swatter, but at the end of the day, you still lost. Caliban, maybe you should pick on someone your own stature. While I proved I can hang with the likes of Oblivion and Gable last week, personally, you're biting off more than you can chew here with Oblivion, and with us. When we're on our game, we're very difficult to put away.

Exactly, you see boys, like Stacy pointed out earlier; I’ve held pretty much every championship this company has had, apart from the People’s Championship and the World Heavyweight Championship. So I’m going to be on my A game on Sunday, because I want to have gold around my waist once more, whether it be the World Heavyweight Championship or whether it be one of the Tag Team Championships! You see, I know what the three of you are all thinking; you’re thinking that you three are going to have the advantage going into this because you’re a team that’s been around for a while and are an established team who will remain loyal to one another. And I bet you think that because the three of us have kinda been thrown together so to speak, that we’ll just be looking out for ourselves…well you’re all dead wrong because we’re gonna have each other’s backs all the way to the end…
Doc finishes off his beer and cracks open the other one that Marina didn’t want.
Stacy
Yeah, I mean, we all know that if…no sorry…when we get to the finals of the Trios Cup Tournament, we know that the person who gets the final pinfall or submission, that person gets a shot at the World Heavyweight Championship where the other two get a shot at the Tag Team Championships, we get that, and we aint gonna sugar coat it, we all want to be the one who gets that decisive pinfall or submission, but you can bet your asses that it won’t cause us to implode…
Marina
Speaking of imploding, how about Brent Alpine lately? Brent, you're a talented wrestler, there's nobody denying you that. However, was your little theatre about faking your death and turning from the Shine to the Vine really necessary? You've proven yourself quite extensively in this company, being a former Television Champion and it sucks that you lost it by disqualification. It's too unfortunate that ultimately, you ended up looking like a real idiot when you got Quinn disqualified to get Chelsea Black Armstrong the Television Championship just so you could win it back from her at Explosion. Unfortunately, that plan blew up in your face didn't it? What makes you think that this change of yours is going to make things different? I know you've been through a humbling experience lately, but in my honest opinion, you haven't been humbled enough. Another reason why we've got this is your confidence problems. Those problems were the reason why you were humbled so much. Your confidence problems could in fact, be the anchor to Sequitus. As a matter of fact, who you are contradicts the message of Sequitus. Sequitus, from what I understand, is supposed to be a group of revolutionaries. How can you be a revolutionary, when you unsuccessfully warded off your own confidence's revolution against you? To be a revolutionary, you have to take on all comers, including yourself. Your change signifies that you couldn't take on yourself, so how do you think you're going to take us on?
Doc
Very well put Marina, I mean, with Caliban always picking fights with guys who are way more talented than he is, with Alpine not even being able to take on himself, never mind a team like ours, it seems as if Cormack MacNeill is the only member of this team who is actually going to be any kind of threat to us this Sunday. But of course, with that said, we’re not fools, and we’re sure as Hell not going to underestimate either one of you. This Sunday on Slam, live from Paris, France…Doc the Cock…the Diamond Starlet and the People’s Champion…are going to beat Sequitus…and edge further and further closer to becoming the future World Heavyweight and Tag Team Champions!
The three of us laugh as Doc and I clink our bottles together before we all disappear off camera as the scene fades.
