We open up with a shot outside the Amway Center in Orlando Florida as fifty to sixty people are waiting to get in. Some had signs that says ( welcome back PWS-APEX ) another said ( JOHN 316 ). Some of the people saw a motorcycle pulling up near the back as they looked to see who it was. As they got closer it was Johnny Sins. Johnny Sins took some time to greet some of his diehard fans when he heard some one yell for him. Johnny Sins turns around. It was A camera crew with a pretty lady with a mic. in her hand. Johnny Sins starts to talk.
Johnny Sins: I'm really sorry but I must get ready for my qualifier match for the United title with two worthy challengers to night
Johnny Sins starts to go in. Then is bumped into another lady with a mic in her hand. Johnny Sins talks.
Johnny Sins: Like I told the other lady I can't talk right now I got to get ready for my match. Now leave me alone please.
Johnny Sins starts to get angry as the interviewer stands in his way, stopping him from going in. He looks extremely annoyed at the woman standing in his way, and thought about picking her up and moving her himself, until she began to speak.
Woman: Speaking of your match, why don't you give me a quick quote or something about your opponents?
Johnny Sins: Who? Gracie Lopez and Cynthia Hellsing?
Woman: Yeah, they are the ones you have to beat in the qualifier to get to the main event and challenge for the title. Anything to say to either of them?
Johnny Sins: I have heard stories about Gracie Lopez. She could give me some competition. But Cynthia Hellsing? I don't know a thing about her. But, if she gets in my way and I have to defeat her... I will. I'm not worried.
Woman: You seem confident. If you get past these two, you could face any number of the others in the running for the title. Is there anyone else going for it in the other qualified\r that concerns you?
Johnny Sins: The only one I got my eye on is Alexis Makarios. A few of the others are supposed to be pretty good but... not as good as me. I don't care who I have to beat... or how... but I am determined to walk out of Risen as the first ever PWS-APEX United Champion.
Woman: Strong words from you. You sure seem convinced you are going to win. You have a bit of an ego.
Johnny Sins: It's not having an ego when you KNOW you are better than they are. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'd like to get in the building and get to my locker room.
The woman stood aside as Johnny Sins walked into the arena. The woman stood to the side, a smirk on her face, as she looked over at his bike as the cameras cut to black.

Cynthia Hellsing and Camilla Rodriguez have become traveling partners since they both signed with Apex Wrestling. Both of them share their love of games and anime. Also, Camilia is the only one that can understand her references and isn’t annoyed by it either. Tonight, they are about a few days away from Cynthia’s debut match and they were hanging out in the hotel room. Camilia was getting her workout gear ready for her nightly workout. Cynthia is sitting on the bed, eyes glued to the screen with a fixed smile on her face. She was watching Death Note, one of her favorite series.
Camilia: Are you coming or not? We gotta get to the gym while it’s not packed.
Cynthia: Just go on. I’ll be there soon. Just wanna watch one more episode.
Camilia: One more episode? Díos Míos You’ve seen this show over 30 times. You can take a break from it. That’s why we have Netflix. Hell, you can watch it on your tablet.
Cynthia: I know, I know, Cammie-chan. It’s just not the same. Just one more episode.
Camilia: But, Cynthia…
Cynthia: ONE… MORE… EPISODE!
Camilia: Fine. Te loca…
Cynthia continued to watch her show with intense concentration. Of course, one more episode turned into five more. Camilia returned to the hotel room with a healthy glow of sweat on her. She was shaking her head while chuckling to see Cynthia had not moved from the same spot.
Camilia: “One more episode,” huh? You haven’t moved from this in two hours!
Cynthia: That’s not true. I went to the bathroom and got more snack from the fridge.
Camilia (rolling her eyes): Well, I wanted to help you get ready for your match, Cyn. You’re gonna be gunning for a title in your debut. You should take it a little more seriously.
Cynthia: Moumentai, Cammie-chan. It’ll be alright. You said it yourself, I’m a savant in the ring.
Camilia: Yeah, but you’re still gonna need practice and cardio training. Two triple threat matches aren’t jokes. Especially for people that are tittle hungry. Now, let’s get some rest.
Cynthia: Okay… just one more…
Camilia: No more episodes. We need sleep. I need sleep.
Camilia started to take the Apple TV device. Cynthia was giving her puppy dog eyes.
Camilia: We can finish it in the morning. We have a late flight anyways.
Cynthia: Okay.
The night was uneventful, except for the fact that Cynthia had one too many drinks before going to bed. When she returned from the midnight bathroom run she noticed a black square that was very noticeable on her white sheets. She looked around and saw that no one had entered the hotel room. Camilia hadn’t moved from her sprawled position on her bed. Cynthia walked up to the black square and noticed it was notebook. She picked it up and went completely white in the face. The words “DEATH NOTE” were written on the front of it.
Cynthia: No… no way this is real.
Cynthia flipped through the pages. They were all blank. She went back to the back of the cover.
Cynthia: “Whomever name is written in the Death Note will die.” Someone put some really good detail into this. They wrote each rule that was shown during the cut scenes. The notebook feels gritty too. Like it’s been put to good… or bad use…
Cynthia placed the notebook down at the desk. She went back to her bed. She laid away, unable to sleep from the curiosity of maybe it was real. She just couldn’t shake the feeling that what she was watching was real. She had to try it. She was at the desk with the notebook. It sat open, her pen tapping at the desk. She had a look of “Got it” on her face. She wrote down a couple names. Two names that people wouldn’t be missed in this world.
CLETUS JONES DENISE BRAKENBUSH
Cynthia: We’ll see if it’s real or not.
With that, she went to bed. Not before storing the Death Note in the drawer. She was still filled with curious excitement, but it was tamed enough for her to fall asleep. The next morning came and Cynthia was awaken suddenly by Camilia shaking her. She seemed frantic and stunned.
Cynthia: What is it, Cammie-chan?
Camilia: THIS!
Camilia was showing Cynthia the headlines from all the wrestling blogs. “Former PWS and WXW wrestlers The Enforcer and Lycra were both found dead!” The headline that dominated most of social media. Cynthia was ghostly white at that.
Cynthia: N-NANI?!
Camilia: Yeah, they both suffered heart attacks last night. What’s weird is that they both died within. Seconds of each other. Man, I know they weren’t the best of people. But, it still sucks. Hey, what’s wrong with you?
Cynthina is pacing back and forth muttering to herself. She skimmed the article and saw the time of death was fairly close to her writing their names. She went to the desk and pulled out the Death Note.
Cynthia: Cammie-chan! I found this on my bed last night! And I wrote their names in it as a joke. I killed them. I killed two innocent people.
Camilia: I wouldn’t call them innocent. They were convicted of some heavy money laundering that caused a lot of people to lost their homes. But, you can be too sure, though. Huh?
Camilia looked down at her phone. She got a notification from a live news feed. There was a killer on the loose. The man killed 10 people randomly at a mall and is on the run. They released his name and face. The man had broke out of prison and was on the run.
Camilia: See if it’s real now. You know all the rules by heart, right?
Cynthia (nodding): Yeah…
Cynthia wrote the name in the notebook. She wrote a time of death as well as a cause: wrecking the getaway car by hitting the guardrail. They both watched as the clock ticked. Suddenly the car crashed and flipped. They both flinched and stared at awe.
Cynthia: Do you realize what we have?! I wonder if we gonna see a shinigami!
Camilia: Cyn. Please. You have to use this thing responsibly. Only for hardened criminals that didn’t their proper punishment…
Cynthia: I promise, Cammie-chan.
Later that day, Camilia came in from picking up their dinner. She found Cynthia at the desk scribbling in the notebook.
Cynthia: DELETE! DELETE! DELETE! DELETE!
Camilia: What are you doing?!
Cynthia: I just found out a way that I can leave with the United Championship!
Camilia (looking over Cynthia’s shoulder): THOSE ARE THE PEOPLE IN THE TOURNAMENT!
Cynthia: Not everyone. I just left Patty and Moondust.
Camilia: Why those two?
Cynthia: Because Patty is off her rocker and Moondust is old and senile. Easy win! DELETE! DELETE!
Cynthia was suddenly awaken for real this time. She looked around and saw that it was morning. She noticed she didn’t have a Death Note. She checked her phone and no news of wrestlers suddenly dying. She pouted as she turned her head to see Camilia glaring at her bedside.
Camilia: You kept saying “Delete” over and over in your sleep. Is everything okay?
Cynthia: Everything’s fine.
Camilia: …
Cynthia: …
Camilia: … You had a Death Note in your dream didn’t you?
Cynthia: I plead the 5th…
Camilia: You wrote my name in it?
Cynthia: …
Camilia: CYNTHIA!
Cynthia: Of course I didn’t! Whenever they get the tag titles going, I need a partner.
Camilia: You had better not.

“When you were young And your heart was an open book You used to say live and let live (You know you did, you know you did, you know you did) But if this ever changin' world In which we live in Makes you give in and cry Say live and let die”
-Paul McCartney & The Wings
Nothing says “Culture Shock” more than taking a smart arse kid from just outside Manchester and throwing him to the wolves known as the Russows.
But that’s what I just did. Told my mum, got my passport and I was hell bent on seeing the world. Even if it meant killing myself. Even though I could have easily stayed in the country of my birth, earn my stripes the that way, I chose the hard way.
Cause let’s call it exactly what it is....Nothing the Russow’s do is EVER easy. I had my ass handed to me, day in and day out. I would be damned if I broke, I would not quit...and that labeled me a bit of a cocky-arrogant twat. But I had a right to have a little swagger because while others were dropping like flies, I was constantly there. Even if it meant that I would work the indies for the rest of my life, it WILL pay off. Because like the Russows’....NOTHING I DO IS EASY! Live and Let Die.
Scene fades in inside the Amway Center as the crews are finishing up setting up for APEX: RISEN. Thru the curtain walks a slender young man, rockin a backwards baseball hat, with jeans and a t-shirt on. He stops and just looks around....
“Blimey....”
Just unable to truly grasp what he is seeing, he’s just trying to take it all in, he misses his phone going off. He starts kinda walking down the ramp when suddenly a security guard sees him and makes a beeline right for him.
“HEY YOU! NO FANS!”
The young man stops and looks at the guy with a smirk on his face his blue eyes blazin’.
“Not a fan, mate. I’m Miles Kasey, I’m wrestling here tonight”
“Bullshit, let me see some ID. No fuckin way a skinny lookin kid like you....”
Miles pulls out his wallet and shoves his ID practically in the face of the security guard.
“Now...how ‘bout you back the fuck off? Eh? I’m just takin in the sights, no need to be rude.”
“My apologizes, kid.”
The security guard backs off and goes back to doing whatever the hell it was he was doin’.
“Yeah, back off rent a cop. Some people’s kids. I don’t look the part yet because I don’t have my gear on yet....jackass”
His phone buzzes at him again and it finally catches his attention. He looks at it and can’t help but smile a bit.
“Oh sweet Bella.... ‘Good luck on your first taste of the big time tonight. Wish I could be there but alas...life. I’m pullin’ for you....but don’t tell Aunt Alexis. Lots of love. À bientôt.’ That girl, so sweet....I know she wishes she could be here...I think her mother would kick her ass and then mine if she skipped out on Paris for this. But this...this is something...even when I went to Japan with Mike, it was NOTHING like this....”
Miles makes his way down the ramp and slides into the ring like it’s nothing.
“This...this is home...this is now MY HOME...this is like the dreams I had as a kid...this is why I gave up everything to come to the states to train my arse off. And now, it’s finally happening and a chance to start it off as the first PWS APEX United Champion? Hell yes! The dream of bleeding buckets, shedding sweat and tears...and to have a chance to do it against names that I watched back in PWS days with Moondust and Alexis Makarios....is this real life? And I have been told by a certain trainer, Alexis is gonna want to be a bit greedy. I mean, she signed up for both the World Championship and the United. Let me call it for exactly what it is, she wants to be the Queen Bitch of this place. Well, sorry love, that is just not gonna happen. Not under my watch at least. As for Moondust, trying to find some sort of glory, I mean...don’t get me wrong you were...entertaining. But that’s really it for you, mate.”
Miles pulls his hat off and scruffs out his hair.
“Look all...it’s not like I don’t know I’m at the bottom of the barrel here. I have a hell of a lot to prove. I’m the rookie in the land of the legends and pros. But I also look at it this way...”
He looks up and points to the sky.
“I have nowhere else to go...but up. I have put the training in and it’s time to prove to myself that I can do this. Look ma...I made it.”
Miles smirks at the camera with a quick wink.
“Aren’t you proud of me now”
I will not give in and cry....
I live and let die.

Post by Trina Roberts on Mar 16, 2019 3:10:38 GMT -5
Scene One: The scene opens up inside of Squires South Beach location in the classroom part of the facility. Inside of the room was Trina Roberts, and her best friend Josie Barnes. The two had met as kids when Trina moved to Lily, Georgia when her mom had been transferred there. Even though they both had moved, Josie running off, while Trina and her mom were transferred back to San Diego, Trina had still kept up with things that happened in Lily, while Josie wanted nothing to do with the town. The two girls had stayed in touch with Trina eventually going to visit Josie, and her fiance, Lukas Emery. She would meet Lukas sister Amelia, the girl she would fall in love with, and the very girl she was set to face at PWS-Apex: Risen. She was nervous about it, focusing as much as she could into her training. Josie was helping her train while also helping train other students at Squires South Beach, and planning her wedding.
Josie: Hey Trina, earth to Trina.
Trina had been deep in thought at the moment, while she was thinking about her match. She sighs and looks towards Josie.
Trina: Yeah, did you say something?
Josie laughs softly.
Josie: I did, I said I know why you asked me to help you train. You are trying to distract me from my wedding.
Josie laughs lightly, as she was joking.
Trina: Sure if you think so. It could also be I can’t ask Amelia to since I am facing her, also wouldn’t feel right asking Lukas. Plus I figured you could help me out on the whole facing the person you are dating since you have been through it.
Josie: I was kidding. Trina I am going to tell you what Rooster told me when I talked to him about facing Lukas.
Trina: What’s that?
Josie: Putting it in my own words. Don’t look at it as facing the person you are with. Look at it as you are facing someone named Amelia. You do that, it should be fine once you get in the ring. You will see her not as the woman you love, but as just some random person.
Trina thinks about it for a few minutes.
Trina: That might be easy to do… was it easy for you?
Josie thinks back to her matches with Lukas, lightly laughing.
Josie: I would say yes. Just don’t do like I did and use Amelia’s own move on her.
Josie laughs again thinking about that. Trina laughs with her.
Trina: I remember seeing that. It was cool to see, but I don’t think I would be doing that. Not like you. You did make it something just for you, stealing your opponents' moves.
Josie nods while thinking about it.
Josie: It was fun to do too. I was surprised nobody ever thought to be ready in case I did, but well… I better not finish that thought.
Josie smiles lightly.
Josie: Still, just focus on Amelia and this Patty chick, but don’t forget to also have the other people who can qualify for the main event in your mind as well.
Trina: Yeah, the only bad thing is I don’t know them that well enough. Means too they don’t know me, haven’t seen me in the ring before.
Josie: It can be a blessing, but also a curse. I have been there before. We all go through it.
Trina knew Josie was right, sighing softly.
Trina: Yeah you are right. I will get past this first bump while going on to do something worthwhile. If I can’t, then I know Amelia will do it.
Trina thinks about it.
Trina: This has to be hard for you, your best friend facing your soon to be sister-in-law.
Josie shrugs her shoulders lightly.
Josie: It is kinda, but not as hard as it is for you. Just remember what I told you.
Trina: I will. For now, let’s get out of here. I know you are just dying to do some wedding things.
Trina laughs as Josie gives her a dirty look. The two friends walk out of the room, heading to do something as the scene fades out.
Scene Two: The scene opens on Trina Roberts. She is in her wrestling gear, looking at herself in the mirror. She was mentally preparing herself for her upcoming match, knowing it was a big one. She smiles softly while starting to talk.
“Allow me to introduce myself to those who aren’t too familiar with me. My name is Trina Roberts, but I have also gone by Trina Jackson. Growing up I never knew my Dad, just his name. About two years ago I ended up meeting my Dad’s other kids, and some half cousin’s. Honestly meeting them, I found out how pathetic, how sad, and how much they were sheep who couldn’t think for themselves. I eventually knew that I may be half Jackson, but overall I will always be a Roberts.”
Trina pauses for a few seconds, knowing she wasn’t done introducing who she was.
“Growing up my mom taught me to be strong, to be myself. I don’t need my family to define who I am. First time I was signed to a company, I was more worried about how I would be taken because of my last name because I had to go by Jackson then. This time, I am not going to worry about any of that. I know now I am better than that. I know what I can do, and it is time to show it.”
Trina knew no matter what she did, her mom would be proud of her, even more so with her dropping the Jackson name, and just being herself.
“I get to show it on the 17th when I am a qualifier match for the US Title. It sounds great, more so if I can win it, and go onto the main event, and win that. I would get to be the US Champion. Before I get too far ahead of myself, I do need to focus on my first match. A triple threat qualifier match. As I said it sounds great, but there is one downfall in it. I must face my girlfriend Amelia Emery.”
Trina looks away for a few seconds while thinking about how to go about it. Deep down she was nervous about facing her girlfriend but knew it was something she needed to do. She had the advice Josie gave her at least.
“We both knew this could happen. It might be sooner than we thought, but I know Amelia, and I will go out there and give it our all. We will prove why both of us deserve that US title, and why it will be one of us winning it. We may have to go through each other, but in the end, it won’t change anything with us. Who knows, it could bring us even closer. I will go into the match loving you, and I will leave it still loving her. During the match though, I will look at her as just another person, just someone I must beat. I am hoping she will be doing the same thing. In the end, though, it will be the best one winning, whichever one of us it is.”
Trina looks back into the mirror, knowing the camera was able to capture her still.
“I didn’t forget about the other person in this match, Patty. It’s just I don’t know really anything about her. Just like she won’t know anything about me. Hey sometimes going in blind can be the best thing ever. It can, and will mean me overcoming the blindness, and getting the win, if not me than Amelia will be.”
Truthfully Trina was more focused on Amelia than Patty, but it was more she knew what Amelia could do. She knew by the time the match was to happen, she would be focusing on both of them. She knew too there were others she could possibly face.
“It won’t matter who the other two will be that qualify to the main event. Neither one will be winning the US title. It doesn’t matter if it is the one who is greedy or someone who is a nerd, or a former MMA fighter. It won’t make any difference if it’s someone who trained at Levi’s school, or the second generation, or even the old man. They can say what they want, but when it comes down to it, it won’t make any difference at all. They will all fail.”
Trina takes a deep breath, letting it out slowly. She turns, walking away from the mirror. She was focused on what she needed to do and would do what she had to do. The scene fades out on her walking away.

Risen“A million dreams are keeping me awake A million dreams is all it’s gonna take A million dreams for the world we’re gonna make.”Chapter OneMoving Forward
(The scene opens with Amelia Emery, as she’s sitting in the office of her nightclub with her brother, Lukas. Amelia seems to be stressed as she’s looking at some paperwork.)
Amelia Emery: ugh, what was I thinking when I decided to get back in the ring? It’s gonna be the death of me trying to run this place if I’m gonna be going back in the road like this.
Lukas Emery: Well you were thinking you wanted to get back to doing something you fell in love with.
Amelia Emery: It's not gonna be the same without you, you know.
Lukas Emery:: Eh, you know what happened skewed my perception of the business as a whole. I wouldn’t be the same in the ring, and I honestly have no desire to go back at the moment. Besides, I’ll be busy enough. What with the wedding and all.
Amelia Emery: So you’re gonna be staying in Miami?
Lukas Emery: For the most part, yeah.
Amelia Emery: Then can we talk about something I’ve had on my mind?
Lukas Emery: Is it wrestling related?
Amelia Emery: No…
Lukas Emery: What’s up?
Amelia Emery: Well, with me being in the road and you staying in Miami, I was wondering if you would wanna help out with the day to day operations of Club 21?
Lukas Emery: Don’t I already do that?
Amelia Emery: Well I was thinking in a more...official capacity…
Lukas Emery:...What are you saying, sis?
(Amelia lets out a sigh.)
Amelia Emery: I was wondering if you would be interested in officially being named the COO of my business. I’ve still got my clubs in London and looking to open more in the states. I could really use the help, and you have a great mind for the business. Plus it’s something we could do together that doesn’t involved our lives being threatened.
Lukas Emery: You know we don’t have to worry about that anymore.
Amelia Emery: I know, but still. I have nightmares about it sometimes.
Lukas Emery: I know, and I’m sorry you had to go through all that. It wasn’t right.
Amelia Emery: It’s not your fault. It was our monster of a father.
Lukas Emery: And now he’s burning in hell for his actions.
Amelia Emery: And you have truly left that life behind, right?
Lukas Emery: Yea I have. No need to worry about that. I’ve got my life with Josie, and I suppose helping run your business to be about.
Amelia Emery: Wait, does that mean you’ll do it?
Lukas Emery: Of course I will.
(Amelia lets out a huge sigh of relief.)
Amelia Emery: Oh thank God!
Lukas Emery: Now I have something to talk to you about.
Amelia Emery: What’s that?
Lukas Emery: Are you ready to be in a match against Trina? Especially one with such high stakes?
(Amelia sits back in her chair, taking a second to think about what Lukas said.)
Amelia Emery: I mean, I don’t know that I am as we speak, but I will be by the time the bell rings.
Lukas Emery: Well, I hate to say it, but you’re going to have to be.
Amelia Emery: I know...how did you and Josie do it? You two damn near killed each other back in...the old place.
Lukas Emery: we were told to go out there and give the fans a show. There’s a lot of shit that went down there that I’m personally glad you never saw.
Amelia Emery: Oh, I saw plenty. But still, how do you step in the ring against the person you love and be able to do...that.
Lukas Emery: Trust has a lot to do with it. You have to trust that no matter what happens, after the bell sounds you will be there for each other, no matter the outcome. You really have to put your ego to the side.
Amelia Emery: Well that’ll be easy. I don’t really have an ego.
Lukas Emery: It’s not really a bad thing to have an ego. You just can’t let it get overly inflated.
Amelia Emery: I mean, I’m confident in my abilities, in the training you’ve taught me, in my instincts, just I know I have my work cut out for me with all this. Even if I make it past Trina, then I’ve got the winners of the other two matches to deal with.
Lukas Emery: Who do you think that’s going to be?
Amelia; It doesn’t matter. I know I’m an underdog in it all, but I plan to show everyone that I belong. The wankers in OCW may not wanna believe it, but fuck them. I know I can accomplish anything I set my mind to, and I REALLY wanna become the first PWS-APEX United Champion.
Lukas Emery: That’s the attitude you’re going to need. When do you head out for Orlando?
Amelia; Monday morning, bright and early. I know you kinda detest the business right now, but I would really love for you and Josie to be at the show. I’m sure it would mean a lot to Trin too.
Lukas Emery: We will be there to support the two of you.
Amelia Emery: Thank you.
Lukas Emery: Just don’t forget to continue training while you’re in Orlando.
Amelia Emery: Oh yeah, give me just a sec. Need to do something real quick.
(Amelia pulls out her phone and navigates to the Twitter app and starts typing.)
Lukas Emery: What ya doing?
Amelia Emery: Lining up some training.
(The scene fades.)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter Two Rising
(The scene opens with Amelia running at a fast pace between the ropes, bouncing back and forth, before diving down into the mat and getting back up.)
Audrey James: Good. Again.
(Again Amelia makes her way to the ropes and back, repeating the exercise.)
Audrey James: Again.
Amelia Emery: Really?
Audrey James: You wanted me to make sure you were ready physically for this show, right?
Amelia Emery: Right…
Audrey James: okay. Again.
(After a few more times of repeating the exercise, Amelia collapses on the mat.)
Audrey James: What’s wrong?
Amelia Emery: We’ve been going...for two hours…
Audrey James: And we’ll keep going if that’s what it takes.
Amelia Emery: Takes for what? To kill me?
Audrey James: If that’s what it takes to make sure you’re ready. You do realize you’re getting set for what could possibly be the biggest night of your career so far?
Amelia Emery: I know…
Audrey James: Are you sure? Cause If you’re ready to call it quits on training already? You’re nowhere even remotely close to being ready. You think Alexis is calling it a day with only two hours of training? You think Gracie isn’t spending absolutely as much time in the ring as she can? You think Trina is okay with half-assing things?
Amelia Emery: Hey…
Audrey James: You think the others are just looking to cruise by and get lucky?
Amelia Emery: Why...are you saying...all that?
Audrey James: Cause In all honesty sweet cheeks you need a swift kick in the ass to get you motivated.
(Out of nowhere, Amelia hops to her feet, a wild looked in her eyes.)
Amelia Emery: You wanna say I’m not motivated!? You wannna act like I don’t know struggle? I’ve been through HELL the past year. FUCK I’ve been through hell my entire life! Try growing up in a world where your father poisoned your mother when you were only eight years d! Then try to grow up with a father that rapes you on the daily to the point you can’t ever have kids! Then live your adult life in fear and having that same man threaten your life time and time again. You try to live that life because I HAVE! So don’t you DARE insinuate that I don’t know the bloody meaning of the word struggle!
Audrey James:...Amelia…
Amelia Emery: Sorry, just guess I have more pent up anger than I thought.
Audrey James: I think that’s exactly what you need. You’ve been through hell, and things aren’t going to be easy here. It’s important when going into matches like this to remember why it is you’re doing all this. It’s important to know where your fighting spirit comes from.
Amelia Emery: That’s simple. My mom. Even though I lost her when I was young, she’s always been the motivation in everything I do. She’s what makes me strive to succeed.
Audrey James: Well then we need to figure out a way to use that motivation to fuel you in these matches. You’re one of the smaller people in these matches, so you’re going to need to rely on your speed and quickness, but you can’t rely on only that. I know everyone is going to be doing their homework in each other, and everyone is going to want to have a good showing for the first show. You can’t afford to sleep on anyone in these matches because you know in this business anything can happen.
Amelia Emery: Yeah. I’m familiar with some of the people in it. I’ve seen what Gracie and Alexis can do. I’ve trained with Trina but never seen her in an actual match, so that’s going to be interesting. I don’t really know much about the others.
Audrey James: You’re gonna have to be ready for anything and everything.
Amelia Emery: I will be.
Audrey James: With that being said, are you ready to continue with training?
(Amelia gets a determined look on her face.)
Amelia Emery: Bring it on.
(The scene fades as they continue with their training.)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter Three The Message
(We open our scene with a shot of the Orlando skyline, as we are in the Orlando Eye. We are at the top, as our camera pans across the horizon, and we hear the familiar voice of Amelia Emery.)
Amelia Emery: Dreams...dreams are what fuels the world. Dreams are what drive us to succeed in life. We all have dreams. We all have the ability to achieve our dreams. It might not be easy. Dreams weren’t made to be easy. However, if you want something so bad that you’re willing to go to great lengths, if you’re willing to give it all of your being, you can obtain it. Trust in your heart, and make it come true.
(We pan out a little, as Amelia comes into focus, as she’s looking out at the horizon, her back to the camera.)
Amelia Emery: If you had told me even a couple years ago that this is where I would be now, I wouldn’t have believed you. It’s been such a long journey to get here, full of peaks and valleys. I’ve had the highest of highs, and experienced the lowest of lows.
(Amelia turns and faces the camera.)
Amelia Emery: I wanted to send this message to all of the PWS-APEX fans, as well as the others who will be vying for the United Championship at Risen. I want to make a promise. A promise to put on the absolute best show that I can. To the fans, I am going to give it my all in hopes that I can entertain you all. To my fellow competitors...I promise not to back down. I promise to give you the fight of your life, whichever ones of you I face. I may not have the experience that some of you do, but I do assure you, I have plenty of experience in fighting for what I want...and not to sound like a brat, but I really do want that United Championship.
(Amelia flashes a smile.)
Amelia Emery: Patty, Trin...let's have a great match. And to the rest of you...I wish you all the best of luck, and may the best person win.
(Amelia turns back around and looks out at the horizon, as the scene fades.)

(Scene opens up somewhere in Houston Texas. We see Moondust, a new signee for PWS-Apex, out mowing his lawn with a riding lawn mower. He’s wearing the face paint, mainly because he doesn’t take it off when other people, the outside folk, are around. He spots the camera and drives towards it on his mower. He turns it off.)
Moondust: Hello! Welcome to the “Moondust lawn cutting hour”. I’ve been doing this stuff for over an hour now, and as you can see, I still have a lot more to do, and i’m getting tired. I want to go back home and watch some of that family feud stuff. Steve always cracks me up man.
(Moondust chuckles a few times before leaning back on his mower.)
Moondust: But family feud is something I don’t want to talk about, I want to talk about my comeback. The last time I was in a wrestling was back in 2014ish when PWSWF closed it’s doors. Since then, all I’ve been doing is this, and teaching new wrestlers. Telling them how not to do the same stupid stuff that I did when I was younger.
I’m really excited about this whole thing that PWS-Apex is allowing me to do! I can’t wait to into that ring and show people that I still have what it takes to get a championship. Now, I know I have to face 2 people. 2 people who are much younger than I am, 2 people who are much more quick.
(Moodust shrugs his shoulders. He doesn’t care if the 2 are quick or not. He still has the smarts.)
Moondust: It doesn’t matter if they are or not. I still have a crafty mind. I’ll do what it takes to win. If it means tying both of them down with handcuffs and using a feather duster. I will! Ok, Ok, that sounded wrong, and kinky. I won’t do that, but i will find a way to win. I want to prove to everyone that this old man still has what it takes.
(Moondust grows a smile on his face.)
Moondust: If it means letting the 2 younger wrestlers go at each other, so be it! I’ll just sit at ringside and wait for them to tire out. Who knows, maybe i’ll order myself a pizza and eat while I wait. So many possibilities! I have no idea what the result of the match will be, but I think it’s going to be a good match all in all.
(Moondust steps off the lawn mower.)
Moondust: I think the 3 of us can steal the show. Like I said, I’ll let them wrestle it out and I’ll come in and sneak a victory! That’s good plan, folks. When I advance, I’m going to take out the rest of them too, and prove to myself that I want that championship. The United title is mine, if anyone says otherwise, they’re fooling themselves. Moondust is here to impress, impress like it’s 10 years ago! See you there in Orlando, kids.
(The scene comes to a close with Moondust hoping back on his mower and slowly taking off.)

(The scene opened up inside of a hotel room, where we see the room is turned upside down. The mattress thrown up against the window. The bottles of alcohol from the mini bar empty and thrown about the room. The box spring has a spot in the center of it that is wet but the crew isn’t getting close enough to inspect it. The linens from the room thrown all about as even the towel racks have been removed from the walls with one of them through the television.)
(The crew then pans in on Patty laying on the floor with a blanket around her, as she stretches on the floor smiling seeing the men standing over her.)
Patty: Good Morning handsomes…
(Finally she stood up shaking off the hangover as she looks around the room. She then begins to punch herself in the forehead.)
Patty: No, No bad Patty...Bad Patty...we said we weren’t doing this, This time…
(She then runs up to the crew manager…)
Patty: Please don’t tell Mr. Shane or Ms. Stormz...I’ll pay for the damages but please please please don’t tell them I already screwed up...I like this job…
Crew Manager: They won’t care...this room came out of your paycheck. Which from the looks of it, you won’t be getting a check this week.
Patty: I have a big title match this week...its also the first show...how could this be my entire check…
Crew Manager: Each of those bottles of alcohol are at least $12 dollars and your trashed the room. I don’t even think you winning the title will get you a bonus large enough to save you from having to pay out of pocket for what you did to this room.
(While he was talking Patty grabbed her bags and was heading for the door.)
Patty: Thanks for paying for the room...I’ll see you at the show!
(He turns to her, as she then runs off scene.)

*Scene One - Getting Up Again*
(The scene fades up with Alexis Makarios walking into the Amway Center in Orlando, FL. She was wearing blue jeans, flip flops, and a "PWS APEX" t-shirt. The shirt seemed to be a bit too big on her, so she had it tied in the back to tighten it up. Her hair was pulled back into a single ponytail with a few stray pieces falling around her face. She had her duffle bag over her shoulder, and her phone in her hand. She clicked on her phone a little to pull up a message.)
Alexis Makarios: Room 110 is my locker room... now which direction would that be? I've never been in this arena before...
(She then heard a man's voice from across the hall. He was standing, leaning against the wall, looking at his phone. He spoke without looking away.)
Voice: 110 is to your left and then right, about 4 doors down.
Alexis Makarios: Uh... thanks... complete stranger...
Voice: You're welcome. We're all rookies at some point.
(Alexis chuckled and put her phone in her back pocket. She looked up at the stranger and cocked an eyebrow. Did this guy REALLY not know who she was?)
Alexis Makarios: Yeah... I guess we are. But uh... my rookie years was a long long time ago.
(He looked up and at Alexis for the first time.)
Voice: Well excuse me. The names Daniel. Daniel Clark. I'm a backstage interviewer here at PWS APEX.
Alexis Makarios: Good for you, Daniel. Thanks for the info... I'm just gonna go find that locker room. I gotta get settled in and ready to hit the gym for my match this weekend. Big fight.
Daniel Clark: Oh so you are actually a member of the roster, not just some one's lackey or bag carrier?
(He looked her up and down. She crossed her arms and squinted towards him)
Alexis Makarios: You... you really don't know who I am... do you?
Daniel Clark: Should I?
(She scoffed. On one hand she was insulted that he didn't know her, on the other hand it was a bit of a relief to meet some one who didn't reconize her right away. Either way, she already didn't like this guy, and kinda wanted to kick him in the sack right about now. He conveyed such ego, and it drove her nuts!)
Alexis Makarios: Tell ya what... go look at a personel file, preferably one with pictures, and figure it out. Then, take your thumb out of your ass, your face out of your phone, and do your damn job. And just remember... the person that you insult just might be a close, personal friend of your boss. G'day mate.
(She turned to walk away, in the direction the man had given her. He nodded with a smirk on his face.)
Daniel Clark: Oh, I know who you are now. Red hair... likes to swear... kinda hostile... Aussie...
(She stopped and turned around.)
Alexis Makarios: Yay for you... do ya want a medal or something?
Daniel Clark: Look, something tells me you hold a grudge and could make my job here miserable. So let's just call a truce, and let me do your first official PWS APEX interview?
(She raised a single eyebrow at him and let out a chuckle.)
Alexis Makarios: In your dreams.
Daniel Clark: Ya do kinda owe me. I told you where your locker room was.
Alexis Makarios: And then you insulted me so... we're even. Besides... I already have an interview set up... and it isn't with you.
(She then turned and walked off. She followed his instructions and found her locker room. She walked in and looked around, amazed at how nice the locker rooms where.)
Alexis Makarios: DAMN! The last place we were in never furnished our locker rooms THIS nice.
(She dropped her bag down on the floor and plopped onto the couch.)
Alexis Makarios: It feels so good to be back in the game.
(She stretched out on the couch as the scene faded to black)
*Scene 2 - The Interview*
(The scene catches up later that day with Alexis Makarios standing backstage with interviewer Claire Anderson. Alexis was still wearing the same outfit from earlier, except her hair was down and slightly wavy instead of up. She seemed excited to be there.)
Claire Anderson: Hello PWS-APEX fans. I'm standing here with our very own Aussie Firecracker... Alexis Makarios.
Alexis Makarios: I'm glad to be here. Like, really glad. You don't even understand.
Claire Anderson: It must feel nice, being in the business again.
Alexis Makarios: It really is. Those few weeks between the place that shall not be named and here was some of the longest weeks of my life. After what went down...
Claire Anderson: What DID go down?
Alexis Makarios: It's a really long story and we really don't have time to tell it right now. I'm trying to move forward.
Claire Anderson: But alot of people want to know what happened with you and WX...
(Alexis cut her off before she could finish)
Alexis Makarios: Don't say it. Don't say their name, dont drop their call letters, and don't even mention HER name to me.
Claire Anderson: I'm sorry... I didn't think you'd be so touchy about it.
Alexis Makarios: You didn't think I'd be so touchy about finding out that everyone in that place hated me and the rest of the Uprising simply becuase we were better than them? Or that I got screwed over by some one who for YEARS claimed to be my friend? Or by having my career that I worked my ASS off for ripped out from under my feet for no reason other than I was better than everyone else? Which one of those did you think I would be ok with? Seriously.
Claire Anderson: Sorry... I just thought...
Alexis Makarios: Look. You wanted a little inside scoop to try and start your career off right. I get it. So I will say this once and only once. In that place I was a big fish in a small pond. See, I started off in PWSi and I was what people called a jobber. I was just there to lose matches and make others look good. And I hated every moment of that. So I clawed my way up the ladder, getting better and better each and every show. I worked my ass off to perfect my skill. I had given up so much to get to PWSi, and I was not going to let it all be in vain. But there was a glass ceiling that I just couldn't break through.
(She motions with a flat hand, showing the "limit" she was refering to.)
Claire Anderson: What kind of glass ceiling?
Alexis Makarios: If you weren't Laura Phoenix or Trisha Lee Moore... and you had boobs... you couldn't do anything outside of the Vixxxen's division. And you can only do so much when limited by your gender. Nothing against Laura or Trisha. Both are AMAZING talents, and I can honestly say they both inspired me to be more than just a "Vixxxen" or a "Diva" or whatever silly name the company gives to their female superstars. They truely taught me that I could be a WRESTLER. Not a female wrestler... just a wrestler like anyone else. And that's what I did when I went... to the bad place. My career excelled! I won World Titles... fought against the men... I made my name known!
Claire Anderson: So basically... WX... that place... made you?
(Alexis scoffed, insulted.)
Alexis Makarios: No. They didn't make me. I made them. And after the money I made for them, all the arenas I sold out... and this is how they repay me? Well FUCK them.
Claire Anderson: Have you had any contact with your former Tag Team Partner, Ly...
Alexis Makarios: Don't you fucking speak that name to me.
Claire Anderson: Why?
Alexis Makarios: She is just as much a part of this as anyone else. She stood by my side, riding my coat tails, for YEARS! She was a washed up has been, and wanted to be relevant again. So she clung to me and for YEARS she fooled me. Well, fool me once... shame on you. Fool me twice... shame on me. But I guarantee you won't fool me three times. I should have seen it coming. As soon as I started doing something that she didn't agree with... suddenly she just couldn't bring herself to stay out in the match with me. Well fuck her, fuck them, and fuck anyone associated to them. Fuck them with a rusty rake right up the ass.
Claire Anderson: I see that I have struck a cord...
Alexis Makarios: Yeah... ya did. Now move it along before I get really really mad and just walk away. I am not here to be grilled about THEM.
(Claire began to scramble a little bit.)
Claire Anderson: Uh... Sorry. Now, you signed up for both the United Title and the World Title. You are the only person on the roster to do so. Why did you sign up for both?
Alexis Makarios: It's simple. When your career is as established as mine, why would you turn down a chance to make more history? I mean, I have the opportunity to go down in the record books as the First Ever PWS-APEX United Champion and World Champion. Why would I pass that up?
Claire Anderson: That's a good point. But if you win the United Title tonight, you will end up double booked at Destiny. Does that concern you?
Alexis Makarios: Not at all. I've been through worse. I say bring it on.
Claire Anderson: That's a good attitude to have about the possibility. Now, you first have to beat Moondust and Miles Kasey to get into the final triple threat for the title.
Alexis Makarios: I'm not really concerned. Moondust is gonna be a piece of cake... he doesn't stand a chance. He's just a painted up freak who wants to try and make a name for himself. Good luck to him, because he is going to need it.
Claire Anderson: And what about Miles Kasey?
Alexis Makarios: I don't really know the guy. I know he is associated to the Russow clan. Not sure how he is associated by he is from what I saw on twitter. I don't really care who he is associated to, or why, or how. From what I have seen, he is a rookie. I remember my rookie days, good times. So, I also wish him luck. He's gonna need it. I am determined and when I set my sights on something... I don't stop. I don't pull punches.
Claire Anderson: What if you get into the final and face off against Gracie Lopez? A friend of yours?
Alexis Makarios: She knows that I won't hold back against her. I mean hell, did you see the time I fought in the elimination chamber back in PWSi against Jenn? Jenn, being some one I have known since I was kid... I grew up with this girl. She is my Sister from another Mister. My most trusted ally and friend. I nearly tried to kill us both when I jumped off the pod onto her to win the belt. When in the ring, as opponents, I don't see a difference between friend or foe. Jenn knew it back then, and Gracie knows it now. So, if she and I make it to the finals, I can guarantee one thing. And that is that we will burn the place down, and nearly kill ourselves trying to win. And that's how it should be.
Claire Anderson: So you are confident that Gracie will beat Johnny Sins and Cynthia Hellsing to make it to the finals?
Alexis Makarios: Of course! I helped train the girl. I know what she is capable of. I don't know a thing about Johnny Sins and Cynthia Hellsing except they are in for a fight.
Claire Anderson: And what about the other qualifier? Amelia Emery, Patty, and Trina Roberts?
Alexis Makarios: Well, I don't know a thing about Patty, and I've heard of Trina but I don't really know her. So I don't know what they are capable of. But I do know Amelia. We have a bit of a ... history ... not exactly a good one.
Claire Anderson: Care to elaborate?
Alexis Makarios: Not really. Lets just say in the bad place, I was in a bad place with my anger issues and one day I treated her really unfair. It was wrong of me, and I have felt bad about it since then. We made ammends tho, so it's ancient history. As far as in the ring, I don't know what she is capable of. I haven't seen her in the ring but if she is anything like her brother we are all in for a fight. I have fought her brother, and he is tough. I do hope she makes it to the finals too. It would be an amazing match. Think about it... Alexis Makarios v Gracie Lopez v Amelia Emery. Let the ladies show ya how it's done around here.
Claire Anderson: You seem extremely confident.
Alexis Makarios: I am. I have been through ALOT the last few years... hell the last few weeks. And I tell ya one thing. It's made me tough. I'm a fighter. And that's what I am going to do at Risen. I'm gonna fight, and I'm gonna win. That's just how it's gonna go. So good luck to the others, because they are going to need it. I want what I want, and I will do whatever I have to do to get it.
Claire Anderson: Thank you for your time.
(Claire smiles as the scene fades to black)

Post by Gracie Lopez on Mar 16, 2019 10:49:10 GMT -5
Re-introduction/anger.
(The scene opens up with a look at the Pacific ocean in LA. The waves crash aggressively against the shore. Not many people are on the beach because, just like it’s been most of the winter, it’s an overcast, damp day with a bit of a chill in the air. The camera turns around to see a figure standing by the grill, where we also hear some sizzling going on with the grill. The figure turns around, and it’s one of the youngest signees, PWS-Apex has, Gracie Lopez.
Gracie: Oh, Hello there! Forgive me It’s been a minute since I’ve done of these things, more like 6 weeks, but who’s counting right? What have I done in those 6 weeks? Not much really. Hanging with friends, family, watching the rainstorms come in from the ocean, those type of things.
(Gracie had a bit of a bitter look on her face, but who can blame her after the stuff she’s been through the last month or 2.)
Gracie: Now, Since we’re in a new company made up of 2 older companies, both which my dad used to work for. This place brings in new opportunities and new people, who have no idea who I am and too lazy to read the bio this company has up on their website, so let’s do a small overview. I’m Gracie, I’m the only daughter of Eddie Lopez. Eddie is a PWS alum as well as a hall of famer. Yes, I’ve been given the task to keep our legacy alive and as well as haters. People who think that my dad has a say in what I do, which has never been proven. Some of the new people here, you’ll see my dad every once in a while, who knows he may pop up while I’m doing this. He’s a crazy person, but I love him.
(Gracie turns around for a second to check on her bacon, that she’s cooking on her grill. She flips the bacon on the grill before turning back to face the camera.)
Gracie: I’ve been wrestling for almost 3 years now. Some of you people know, and some of the people don’t. Since they refused to watch me wrestle with a company…. Over there…. And honestly, I don’t blame you if you didn’t. I wouldn’t watch that company either, it’s filled with wannabe wrestlers, incest, and wrestlers who think they can draw a dime…..
(Gracie looks into the camera, giving no fucks about the stuff she’s about to say.
Gracie: OH and not to mention, the place was run by a WHORE as well! I don’t give a fuck if she hates me for saying that, because the truth hurts. Now, you’re probably asking why I stayed there for so long if I hated it? Because I tried to help. I tried to help their struggling women’s division and I tried to take it out of the stone ages, but they still wanted to do “bra and panty” matches and garbage like that.
(Gracie sighs before shaking her head. Deep down, she knew the place was bad but didn’t think it was THAT bad till she talked about it.)
Gracie: I had 2 championship reigns there, both reigns are combined over 400 days. So, pretty much they couldn’t take the belt off of me outside of a fluke victory. Hell, I got lazy, and who wouldn’t wrestling with a weak roster, right? 6 weeks ago, they decided to close the company because they KNEW, they KNEW they couldn’t get the belt off of me and that was the only way to do it. Seems kind of petty and stupid if you ask me. Not to mention, they opened up a new company with the SAME cast of characters and weak roster….
(At this point, you can clearly see that Gracie is getting annoyed and more angry about the whole thing. Her demeanor starts to change a bit.)
Gracie: I could have kept quiet about this whole thing, but no. I’ve stayed quiet LONG enough. It’s out in the open now and honestly, I don’t give a fuck. The moment you try to take everything I WORKED for, and my DREAMS away from me, you become enemy number 1. I know I’m supposed to talk about how I’m happy about this new opportunity PWS- Apex has given me, and I went on a rant about something that happened in the past, and I’m not sorry about it. If it comes off as bitter or if it seems like I’m a bitch…. So be it. Have someone take your dreams, and all the hard work you did away from you and see how YOU feel, you’d be bitter too. Fuck that whore and fuck her incest ass kissing buddies too!
(Gracie grabs the bacon off the grill before she walks into her house. As she does, she slams the back door shut, clearly upset by the whole thing that happened to her and all the pent up frustrations she’s had the past month in the half.)
----
Scene 2: New championship opportunities.
(The scene opens up a day later, after the episode of anger that Gracie showed off. The weather in LA has made a turnaround from yesterday. Now it’s sunny and it’s in the mid-70s. We see Gracie pulling into her driveway from doing a shopping trip with a friend of hers. She gets out of the car. She seems to be in a better mood as well. She grabs her Jack in the box bag before heading inside. Inside of the house now, we see her dad, Eddie Lopez sitting on the couch, but Gracie doesn’t notice it right away. She throws one of the bags at him and he falls over, obviously overselling it in his own unique and funny way. Eddie also has the silver fox look going on, with a bit of grey hair, not much but it’s noticeable on the side of his head and beard.)
Eddie: ….. OWWWWW!!!!! What the hell was that for?!
(Gracie jumps a bit. Again, she didn’t know he was there.)
Gracie: What are you doing here!? I thought you had a golf thing.
Eddie: I came to check on you.
Gracie: You drove 2 hours to check on me? You could have texted…
Eddie: Well, Jenn said that you had a shouting match…
Gracie: She did?
Eddie: Yep. The whole neighborhood heard you.
Gracie: I had to get it off my chest. I haven’t really talked about it in 6 weeks. I finally found an outlet to let loose. I’m not sorry for the stuff I said. If that whore has an issue with it. She needs to find me, instead of hiding behind your ass kissers.
Eddie: But…
Gracie: But nothing, she fucked you over, she fucked Alexis over, she fucked anybody who isn’t in her inner circle of losers.
Eddie: I know she did, but you need to get off of that. All it’s doing right now is distracting you from what you need to focus on. You need to focus on PWS-Apex. You’re the first wrestler they signed, they did that for a reason. They believe in you, they don’t care what happened in the past. All they care about is you and how you’re going to carry this company into the future.
(Gracie opens up the food that she picked up from Jack in the box, she’s still listening to what her dad has to say. Because if she doesn’t, she knows it’s going to be a long day at the training center.)
Eddie: You have all the pressure on your back again. In that company, you got lazy.
Gracie: Lazy?
Eddie: Pretty much. Outside of Jenn, you didn’t really face anybody. All those people you faced were bottom of the barrel talent. I mean c'mon if you wrestled a mop that would have brought some entertainment value….
Gracie: You know, come to think about it. I didn’t really have many challengers there, outside of Jenn, nobody really stepped up. Here, I’m going to have all kinds of challenges, and honestly. I’m ready for it. As you said, it’s a clean slate and there’s an opportunity waiting for me.
Eddie: That’s the spirit!
Gracie: I know I’m going to have those doubters, I always do and each time I proved them wrong. There are also people out there who say “you’re too young for championships”... I’ve proved those people wrong too. No matter what you say about me, or think about me, I ALWAYS prove people wrong. I’m maybe “young” but I know what the hell I’m doing in that ring. I don’t need a lecture every time I go out there. I got that bullshit in that company, I don’t need it now.
Eddie: Yeah, don’t listen to what other people have to say about you. That’s what I did, and look how I turned out. I was a world champion at one point. I had doubters too you know, that’s all you have to do, shut them up. But now that’s over with, I have a few questions.
Gracie: Again, had to get it off my chest, we got completely off topic, and let’s get back on to the task at hand. Go ahead.
Eddie: How are you feeling knowing that soon you’re going to be stepping into a PWS ring for the first time, the same ring that I used to hold championships in?
Gracie: Honestly? It’s what these last 3 years have been building up too. Finally to be back in PWS, even though it has the Apex name attached to it, it’s still the PWS. How do I feel? It’s going to feel amazing to get into that ring and show these people, who didn’t want to watch that other company, what I’m capable of.
Eddie: What do you think of this opportunity they gave you?
Gracie: I think it’s a huge opportunity for me. I got shackled into a division I didn’t want to be in, and they held me down. Sure, some can say that they built that division around me but honestly, I got lazy and complacent. You said it yourself, I got lazy, I really did. But now, this opportunity they gave me, almost makes those 3 years in shackles worth it. I haven’t squandered opportunities before, why I start now? This is a new start, a new title. A title that I want. I don’t care if those other people like it or not. They haven’t had their livelihood taken away from them, They haven’t had everything they worked for taken away, I have. I don’t need people’s sympathy either. Fuck your sympathy.
Eddie: What do you think of the people in this thing?
Gracie: Well, let’s talk about Alexis first. IF her and I face each other in this thing, expect us to give it our all. Just because she and I used to be in a group together, just because I see her as a big sister that I never had. It doesn’t mean anything when that bell rings. When that bell rings, it's gone time. I know she’s not going to take it easy on me, she’s a former world champion for crying out loud. She’s seen what I did to Jenn before, and I got yelled at for it by her.
(Gracie lets out a small chuckle.)
Gracie: But, She’s in the same boat I am, she has stuff taken away from her and she’s DYING to get a championship back. That’s why she signed up for 2 titles. But I hate to break it to her, keep away from my title, I don’t mind breaking her in half to get what I want.
Eddie: Moondust?
Gracie: Who cares.
Eddie: Patty.
Gracie: She’s a whore, just like the former boss was, who cares.
Eddie: Amelia and Trina.
Gracie: I’m happy for these 2, I really am. I don’t think I could talk about them if I tried. I know Amelia will be…. Well Ameilia, but it is what it is. I’ve seen how their relationship has grown over the past year on twitter when they hooked up, I think it’s cute honestly. They got the bad end of the deal here though, they have to face each other. I understand where they come from though, I really do, it sucks. But it’s going to be alright at the end though. I’m just going to say this: I’m going to have to face one of them when we move on to the main event, and the other one, down the road, I’ll have to face as well. I don’t care who I face, both of them, I think will be a good match up with me. If you 2 ever get married, I hope I get invited to that wedding.
Eddie: Milo.
Gracie: Isn’t he the one on Levi’s shit list? I know I saw something on twitter about it. I don’t know, I’m not going to stick my nose into it because it's none of my business. That’s between the 2 of them, but I have to say, the dude has an impressive look to him. I know he said something about him wrestling in Japan. You know about those Japanese wrestling places.
Eddie: …. Yeah, no joke there. They’ll stiff the fuck out of you and they don’t give a damn either. If you don’t listen, they’ll break your bones too. I saw someone get his neck broken because he didn’t listen.
Gracie: A mix of that and making the Russow’s angry? Not a very smart way to start off your career, but it’s how he wants to live his life. He should know that the Russow’s hold grudges for years. But I think he could be in that tough task to beating Alexis though, she’s… been angry lately. Miles thought is determined, something has to give here though. Who knows we could face is other in the finals and my god what a match that would be. 2 high flyers going at it? What’s even gravity….
Eddie: Let’s get to the people who you have to face, those were just the list of people who COULD face you if you move on and they move on.
Gracie: I know, it’s good to talk about them for a bit.
(Eddie nods his head)
Eddie: Cynthia.
Gracie: Ahhh, her. Another wrestler that loves video games around here. I think she’s going to be a wildcard in this tournament thing they have going. I have the pleasure of fighting her, and I think she’s a bit crazy. I mean that in a good way. If things go her way, she can go on to the main event and snatch the title without people even knowing anything about her. But here’s the thing though, I’m not going to let her go unnoticed. I know what people like her can do, I’ve faced it before, and I’m not going to allow that to happen again.
Eddie: The other person you have to face, Johnny Sins.
Gracie: There’s not much on him I could read about, outside of the fact he used to be an MMA fighter. I mean, cool? Seriously, I can’t wait to see what this guy does in a wrestling ring, I could pass judgment here and now, but I’m not a bitch like that. I like to see what people have to offer before making a judgment on them. Just like Cynthia, I think he could be that type of person who can fly under the radar if people aren’t careful with him. I think he’s going to make it far in this career, but unfortunately for him, he’s not going to make it far in this tournament. I don’t want to be that person, I really don’t but… sorry John, may I call you john? Imma call you John.
(Gracie shrugs her shoulders, doesn’t care if he goes by Johnny, john or Jim.)
Gracie: At the end of the day, we have a good cast of characters going into this thing, one person will win though. I hope, I HOPE it’s me. That way I can have better championship gold to throw around my shoulder and actually be proud of it.
(Eddie stands up from the couch, he looks back towards his daughter.)
Eddie: Food?
Gracie: I just gave you food you old man!
Eddie: I thought that was Lucy’s. I wasn’t going to eat it.
Gracie: Maybe if you asked….
Eddie: True. You wouldn’t give your dad cat food, would you?
Gracie: If you keep acting up I will.
(Gracie shakes her head before standing up as well. She goes to get her cat some food. We see a big white of fluff running past Eddie’s feet, which was lucy, the cat Gracie owns. The scene comes to an end.)
