[REC•]

[The scene opens with a view across the East River and the Queensboro Bridge. Traffic crawls to a halt it didn’t seem that it was going to clear up anytime soon. Above the honking cars and profanity-laced road rage, we find Mercedes Vargas slowly walking along the bike path on an otherwise party cloudy afternoon. The camera focuses on her and she slows her pace and stops to address the camera. The Argentine brushes a strand of her hair from her eyes.]

“A great man once said, “If you can make it here, you can make it anywhere”. Ok, you got me, he was talking about New York City. He was saying, if you can make it in New York City, you can make it anywhere. The crazy reality is, if you can make it in professional wrestling, you can make it anywhere, too. I find it hard to believe that I'm still in this business. The non-stop flights, the three-hour bus rides, being stuck in hotels for four to five hours, getting beat up on a weekend basis, filing out doctor questionnaires and overnight hospital stays. After a while, it becomes a daily grind, you get used to it, eventually. To make it eight years should be an accomplishment when most women don’t even make it past three.”

[Mercedes smirks. That she has lasted this long in the wrestling business was a testament to the sacrifices she made to get to where she was today at the pinnacle of her career.]

“New York City, home of SCW’s Into the Void VI. The Big Apple and professional wrestling have a whole lot in common: one wrong move and this town will eat you alive. The key of survival in this city, and on the canvas, is that if you go down…you better get back up. Three weeks ago we found out who had the smarts and the stamina to win big in Gotham. Kate Steele, was not one of those people. In fact, if you’re Kate Steele right now, you probably had a pretty bad month, all things considered. When you get your butt kicked all across the country for an entire month there’s nothing you can do to come back from it so I’m pretty sure she declined to be booked again this weekend. I’d probably want to save face too after a performance like that. Did anyone think I was going to lose at Into the Void, where I made my supercard debut four years ago? Not on your life! What SCW thought was a matchup turned out to be a mismatch.”

[Mercedes smirks.]
“And this rivalry between the Mean Girls and Metal and Punk Connection? It’s not a rivalry when you’ve always dominated the opposition. Singles, tag team, triple threat, it didn’t matter. We’ve always come out on top so what made this past supercard any different? All it really did was continue Kate’s string of bad luck. You’re probably saying Kate wouldn’t take her loss lying down, but that’s all she’s been doing this past month. As if costing her team a tag match at LAW the week prior to me kicking her ass wasn’t enough, she was pinned in a triple threat match the following week in another promotion and lost again at LAW’s Validation supercard, for the third year in a row I might add, challenging for the tag titles.

Now that I think of it, yeah, it has to be karma paying her back for all the horrible things she’s done. Like putting her sister-in-law Cynthia Warren on the shelf or torturing Natalie McKinley for weeks on end or that time she slapped Crystal Millar and walked out on her and Vero when they were together in the Mass Media Militia. What goes around comes around.”

[Mercedes shrugs.]
I’ve heard just about everything this week. I’ve heard myself being called irrelevant. I’ve heard myself being called a choke artist. I’ve heard myself being called jealous yet here I am smiling and laughing at it all because at the end of the day, guess who’s still one of the all-time greats in this company?
   
It’s just sad that some people have to keep coming back to each and every one of her precious victories over me. Because when it comes right down to it, that’s all she really has. There’s only so many times she can stretch those little victories over me so far before it hits her in the face.

Hey, I know it’s tempting. It’s tempting to relive those memories and tell everybody who would listen over and over again. Only problem is, chickadee, people will only care for so long. Sooner or later, they’ll give up and tell you to move on.

Just like how you had to move on when you couldn’t beat my singles unpinned streak.

And while she and the enabler can talk about my brief Bombshell Title reign, they probably forgot the fact that they were both pinned to lose their own; I wasn’t. So there. If she didn’t fold like a cheap lawn chair, maybe we wouldn’t be hearing Polly Playtime and World Bombshell Champion in the same sentence.

Now I watched CC 180 and I have a lot to say, so try to keep up. Let’s say we get started, hmm?

First off, let’s start off with the new group that just formed, the Black Sheep. Who’s the Black Sheep, what’s the Black Sheep? Celeste likes to call them Crybaby United, but all I see is a bunch of complete losers banning together if only for attention they so desperately crave. We got the Ying-Yang Twins, who has been hanging out backstage in SCW for the better part of four months – and security didn’t notice them in all that time - SCW’s own Hester Prynne, a grade-A douche canoe, a crybaby, and a Z-list movie star and the most manipulative person in the lockerroom. Yeah, a REAL threat they’ll turn out to be.

Two of their members were already part of failing stables and another one was kicked to the curb when J2H saw her as a lost cause in his phony religious movement. Some of you might know this and some of you won’t but Kris Halc was the first person to leave the Nobodies and disappear from SCW. Crystal, on the other hand, didn’t even last long in all the time she was part of the Mass Media Militia and can turn on anyone on a drop of a dime. She’s befriended and stabbed so many people in the back that I’m surprised it hasn’t been made a drinking game by now (SCW Merchandise, ball is in your court). And speaking of drinking, Mikah is a raging alcoholic but claims that as long as she’s doesn’t drink before her match, no harm, no foul. I just want to know how she is getting away with having alcohol on the arena grounds. If Jessie Salco can get busted for drug possession, why does she get a free pass? Inquiring minds want to know. And we all know the legend of #CrybabyChelsea Payne, so there’s no need to continue here. If Mark Ward didn’t give her a spot in the Bombshell Roulette match at Into the Void, I don’t think she’d ever shut up.

Black Sheep isn’t so much the savior of SCW then they are a black eye for the company.

Anyways, we heard what the Black Sheep had to say at Climax Control last week. They think they’re going to be the next big stable in SCW and right now they already hold championship gold. They think that they’re going to be one to end two of the most iconic stables in SCW. But I’m going to let them in on a little secret: every shred of self-importance that they’re clinging to, the notoriety and the social media presence is owed to the Mean Girls and Bad Boys. Every story needs a villain and we are the reason why they formed in the first place. They’re important BECAUSE of us not INSPITE of us. They’re trying to eliminate us because we’re the most dominant stable in SCW and we have the stats and the title wins to back it up.

Difference here is we don’t need championships to be relevant. With or without a title, we’ve proven that we’re the most dominant force not only in the Bombshells Division, but in SCW, period. We’re the alpha females, the status quo, and the end all-be all of this company and if we can outlast a phony religion, the so-called Grace Era that really should be called the Nyquil Era and the endless Bombshells who step to us and fail, then you’ve got no chance. You’ll be lucky if you’re still around in six months.

We’re mentally prepared for you to shove your titles in our faces.  Hopefully you’re also mentally preparing for the sleepless nights, paranoid moments, and barrage of angry challengers eager to claim the championship for their own.

So are we worried? The question is should we be? A lion doesn’t concern itself with the opinion of sheep. We’re not going to lose sleep over any of you losers because whether on your own or as a group, you’ll never surpass our legacy. Don’t take it as a threat, don’t take it as a warning, take it as a #MeanGirlsFact!

So, go ahead. Make our day. Keep calm and graze. Take a swing at our ego, make a run for our crown. Just know that when you come at us, you’re going down.

There’s an old Chinese proverb that says, “We’re never dead as long as our name is remembered.” One of you said that we should put our corpse back in the coffin.

You won’t even be the nail that drives it home.

[Mercedes stops for a moment to address the other issue on her mind at the moment.]

“While SCW was having its post-Into the Void show at Climax Control 180, you may or may not have notice only two-thirds of the Mean Girls made the trip to Viva Las Vegas. Celeste and Veronica both had matches that night. Where was I? Well, it just so happens that SCW’s sister promotion, Ladies All-Star Wrestling, was having their Validation supercard and I was there to find out what all the buzz was about – and to see Kate Steele’s epic fail in trying to capture their tag titles. In any event, while I wasn’t there to support Celeste and Vero at ringside doesn’t mean I wasn’t with them in spirit. Oh, I heard about Crystal’s fluke win and the only reaction I had after Jessie’s match was stifling a yawn.”  

[Mercedes mocks a fake yawn. It wasn’t so much an insult that it was her actually caring one way or the other.]

“So after a three week vacation, I’m back inside the six-sided ring and my opponent this weekend is someone who’s just getting their feet wet in the wrestling business. What’s more, she’s one of the newest trainees of Odette and Gabriel’s school so I guess I should be somewhat impressed, right? I’m still going to go out of my way to give Devona the benefit of the doubt that she’ll last five minutes with me in that ring. Don’t get me wrong, beating a Hall of Famer, especially in your first match, is kind of a big deal. But who are we kidding, right? It’s Amy Marshall, who not only is the Bad Boys personal ring announcer, but now serves as the, shall we say, warmup act for the new Bombshell talent coming in. It’s a tough job, but somebody’s gotta do it.”

[ While Mercedes hasn’t been in SCW for very long, she can't for the life of her remembered if Vixen or Misty had to do such an awesome and menial task. Then again, unlike Amy, they were back into retirement as quickly as they came.]

“My job won’t be as difficult. You’re probably wondering how this match came together. Read the previews, it will tell you everything you need to know, but some people try to get a story that really isn’t even there. Devona and I had a brief exchange on Twitter. It wasn’t catty or petty. If anything, it was respectful. I commented on the MPC being swept at the supercard which I predicted, Devona added her two cents and I told her to stay in her lane. One thing led to another and now this match is signed, sealed and delivered, and probably given Odette and Gabriel’s blessing, too. I'll say this much: they better count their blessings, count them one by one, because their student might not make it out of West Westover, Nevada this weekend.

“When I said you’re walking into the deadliest storm, I mean it. But don't let this weekend's headline fool you. This isn't about revenge for Veronica. I'm not doing this for her, I'm not doing this for the Mean Girls, I'm not even doing this for me. This is for you.”

“Y por tu propio bien.”

[Mercedes winks and blows a kiss at the camera, before returning to the coy, almost snobbish expression. She smiles again, and then waves and we fade to black. ]
