Title: All-Star Roxi Issue #46: Full Circle
Post by: Roxi Johnson on June 11, 2021, 11:43:15 PM
{Our scene opens with Roxi driving along the Florida highways as she heads north. She nods her head to the music playing from her phone, a little Jimi Hendrix as she turns off the highway after reaching Ocala, Florida, which is an hour and a half north of Tampa. She finally turns into a parking lot of a large rectangular building with its distinctive green doors. Roxi looks through her sunglasses and smiles before putting the car in park and getting out. She calmly walks up to the main doors and opens it, greeted by the receptionist. Roxi giving her a knowing smile and the receptionist stands up, a surprised smile on her face.}

 

Roxi – Darla, how are you?

 

Darla – Oh my goodness, Roxi-girl is that you?

 

Roxi – In the flesh.

 

{The two seeming old friend embrace for a little while.}

 

Darla – You look so good!

 

Roxi – Thank you, I can’t believe you’re still here.

 

Darla – Marty won’t let me leave.

 

{The two share a laugh.}

 

Darla – Besides, I’m only one he trusts with the money.

 

Roxi – You must have worked pretty hard then.

 

Darla – Putting up with him? I did my time.

 

Roxi – Nice. Look, I just, I wanted to come back because I just came across my 10-year anniversary starting here and I figured I’d come by for a visit, see what’s going on.

 

Darla – Wow! Congratulations, and you’ve done so well. I know Marty is very proud of you!

 

Roxi – Thank you, that really means a lot.

 

Darla – You were one of the only girls who was trying to learn how to wrestle back then. I’m glad you have had such a successful career and you’re still going strong.

 

Roxi – Yeah. I think I’m still trying, but don’t tell Marty that.

 

Darla – Ha. I’m sure he’ll get a kick out of it.

 

Roxi – I hear ya. I just uh, I just wanna take a look around if that’s okay with you.

 

Darla – Be my guest. Marty’s in between classes I think so, you be able to catch him.

 

Roxi – Thanks Darla. It is very good to see you.

 

Darla – It's good to see you too.

 

{Roxi and Darla hug one another as Roxi starts slowly walking down the hallways and the smell of the gym mats, the workout equipment, the rings, the ropes, and everything involved hits Roxi as she passes through a set of double doors.}

 

Roxi – It’s like I never left.

 

{Roxi continues walking down the hallways, seeing several class photos and various pictures of the wrestlers trained her, including herself, one that she had autographed after her first ever wrestling related photo shoot, and a few others she had autographed for the school. She continued to walk, the memories of being in the ring coming back to her as she walked.}

 

{We flash back to Roxi 10 years younger, looking shy and innocent as she rather nervously and not confidently at all, walked with her gym bag and into the same reception area, marked the with same decour it was in the present. Darla was a little thinner, a little blonder, but she was still the same.}

 

Darla – Can I help you dear?

 

Roxi – Yeah uh... I’m here for... class?

 

Darla – Are you sure?

 

Roxi – No. I mean.. Yes. I’m here class, I’m sorry.

 

Darla – What's your name?

 

Roxi – Roxi. Roxi Johnson.

 

Darla – Ah, yes, Okay, I’ll have you checked off as making it. Do you have your deposit?

 

Roxi – Oh... yes ma’am.

 

{Roxi reached into her pants pocket, pulling out a folded-up check and she slid to Darla. Darla looked it over and grinned.}

 

Darla – Alright, right down the hallway and there are lockers to the left, you can change in there

 

Roxi – Thank you.

 

Darla – Good luck.

 

Roxi – Thanks.

 

{Roxi moved on down the hallway and changed into some athletic shorts and a sports bra, some ratty gym shoes and pads on her elbows and knees. She took a deep breath and walked out of the locker room and the smells all hit her. And the anxiety took over as Martin, the trainer, was standing with a clipboard. Roxi slowly approached him. The gym was cold, and Roxi already has goosebumps.}

 

Martin – You must be …. Roxi, yes?

 

Roxi – Yes.

 

Martin – Good, now we can finally begin, don’t be late next time.

 

{Roxi’s heart dropped as she already being yelled at, and it was the first day. Martin whistled and signaled with his hands for everyone to rally and meet him. Every stood on the apron while Martin stood in the ring.}

 

Martin – Alright, now. Welcome to all of you, I’m Martin, I’m the trainer. I’ve been a lot of places, you may or may not have seen me on TV but the point is, I know what it takes to be a pro. I can just look at some of you and I already question why you are even here. Some of you showed up late, and some of you aren’t even in shape. It’s not a good look. You want to be prepared for this and it’s my job to get you to the point, if you weren’t already on your way. I’ll say this now: Not all of you will make it. Some of you will have 2, maybe 3 years and then you’ll be out. Some faster than that. Some of you, may not even make it through this training. You need to be on the ball, because it’s MY reputation on the line if I get you some kind of booking, and these promoters trust me, and then you go out and you hurt somebody because you’re blown up, not in shape, or you miss a date and then they come back to me and they say “What the fuck, Martin? I thought your people were good. So don’t do that to me. If and that’s a big if, you make it, you will have the skills, but here and now, we’re testing your drive. Everybody got me?

 

{The class responds in unison with a yes.}

 

Martin – Alright, good. Now, find a partner, pair up, because we’re going to go through warm-ups and calistenics. You need to be in good shape, cardio wise as well as physically. Let’s go. On the mats.

 

{The groups does pair off, Roxi being the only female, is forced to start with a male partner, and the test begins. We fade back to present day.}

 

{Roxi continues down the halls, seeing more various photos, and several students doing their warm ups, indicating to Roxi not much has changed. She peers into the locker rooms and then back to the trophies, plaques, autographed photos and the like. Some students are still in the gym area working out.}

 

Martin – Down!

 

{We do flash back to Roxi now down in push-up position.}

 

Martin – Up!

 

Class –20!

 

{The class does their push up, but Roxi, still not quite up, struggles, push-ups were never her forte, but she was dog tired, her whole body shaking as she tried to get up. Martin walked over, squatting down next to her.}

 

Martin – We're waiting...

 

{Roxi continued to push, but her arms were jell-o by the amount of physical strain she put her body through. She gritted her teeth, a low groan escaping as she tried to push herself up.}

 

Martin – Do you need to be on your knees for this? Do we have to do girl push-ups so you can actually do this? Because we can all do girl push-ups and then maybe, you’d have a chance.

 

{Roxi finally pushed herself to the up position, with her arms locked out.}

 

Martin – Thanks for joining the rest of the class.

 

{Roxi’s whole body shook and quivered from the amount of strain on her body. She was trying so hard to stay up. Martin saw her, and then waited, and waited for what seemed like an eternity.}

 

Martin – And...

 

{Roxi’s face was turning red, finally, before they could get up, Roxi gave out and she had passed out, falling face-first on the ground and not moving. Martin made everyone get up and clear out to give Roxi space as she laid motionless on the ground. Martin hovered over her and began to fan her and shortly after, Roxi’s eyes opened and she had a massive headache.}

 

Martin – Welcome back.

 

Roxi – What... what happened?

 

Martin – You decided you didn’t want to breathe, you big dummy.

 

Roxi – I... 

 

Martin – No, you took a pretty nasty nose dive because you forgot to breathe during the exercises.

 

{Martin looked around as he helped Roxi to her feet and she instantly hunched over, still in pain and now with a headache.}

 

Martin – Let that be a lesson to you and everyone else. You need to breathe in the ring. I know you’re going to go around and you’ll be pumped up from all the adrenaline, but you forget to breathe, you’ll blow up, you’ll be tired, and then you’ll end up like our little girlfriend here and smashing your face into the ground. Learn to breathe.

 

{Martin walked back to the front of the room and pointed over at the edge of the mats near a table.}

 

Martin – Do you need to take a break, hunny? Because you might just wanna sit this one out if you don’t know how to breathe.

 

{Roxi shot a stern look at Martin and shook her head.}

 

Roxi – No. I’m fine.

 

Martin – Alright, no more nose dives please.

 

{Roxi rejoined the class continuing the exercises.}

 

Roxi – Was it worth it?

 

{We go back present day where Roxi continues to walk down the hallways and finally she sees Martin’s office. She goes in an knocks on the door frame, since the door is open. Inside, Martin looks up, and a smile crosses his face.}

 

Martin – Well well well, what have we here.

 

Roxi – How are you, sir?

 

Martin – Just fine, Little Roxi, just fine. I see you’ve grown up. You look good.

 

Roxi – Thank you, I appriciate that.

 

Martin – So what brings you around here?

 

Roxi – Well, I did just pass 10 years since I set foot in here for the first time, and I just wanted to see if anything has changed in 10 years.

 

{Martin chuckles as he stands up and shakes Roxi’s hand.}

 

Martin – I'm afraid not. Still have to train these kids the right way. Otherwise, they mess it up for everybody else down the road. 

 

Roxi – That's true. 

 

Martin – I see and hear about you all the time, and how well you’re doing.

 

Roxi – Might have had something to do with the teachers I had.

 

Martin – I appreciate that. I did what I could to train you and everyone else. I’m just glad to see that some kids I train, put what I teach them into practice.

 

Roxi – It's kind of hard to forget.

 

Martin – Well, you’d be surprised.

 

Roxi – I also... I … I just wanted to say thank you. Thank you for not treating me like I was a girl, or special. You treated me like everyone else in that class, and it made me mentally tougher than I was.

 

Martin – Well, if I treated you different because of your gender, then I gotta treat everyone else different for one reason or another. I just wanted to treat you, like everyone else, so that you understood that you’re not going to be special treatment in the real world.

 

Roxi – I know. 

 

Martin – And hell, I needed you to understand that. I remember you were shaking like a leaf your first day. You weren’t the person you are today and you know, seeing that, more than anything, makes me proud. I’m proud of you for all you’ve accomplished, but I’m even prouder that you became a more confident person in the long run.

 

Roxi – I really do appreciate all you have done for me. And I think that’s the first time you’ve ever said you were proud of me.

 

Martin – I don’t say it often, so it never leaves this room.

 

Roxi – Yes, sir.

 

Martin – Well, I have a second half of class to do, so I don’t have much time to chit-chat, if you stick around, we can talk some more.

 

Roxi – I do have some stuff I need to do, but I can just observe the class, if that’s okay with you.

 

Martin – Sure, if you wanna say a few words.

 

Roxi – I'd like that.

 

{Roxi and Martin head off and enter the gym. The wave of smells once again over take Roxi, the dirty, training mats are still the same, the rings look slightly new, but it all looks and feels the same. Martin heads to the ring again and begins his speech.}

 

Martin – Alright, everyone have a good break? I know some of you hit the weights or did some other things, I’ll tell you now, don’t blow yourself up trying to add when you don’t need to. You will get all the workouts you want here. This is only day one, and I can already seem some of you doubting yourself, because you’ve got to come back tomorrow. But, anyway, I’ve got one of my earlier students here, she’s just going to say a few words and we’ll get back to work. So, please give your attention to Roxi Johnson.

 

{There are murmurs and applause as Roxi slowly steps into the ring and faces the students.}

 

Roxi – Hi guys. I’m not going to stand here and give you the secrets to surviving Martin’s teaching, because quite frankly, there are no secrets. The only way to survive, is to show up here, and keep showing up here. I know, I’ve been in your shoes. Scared to death to walk in here, scared to death to get inside these ropes, and scared I’m going to hurt someone because I don’t know what I’m doing. Trust me, I know all about it, and Martin let me know all about it. That’s natural. And I know, I hated getting up early, body aching from hitting the mats, hitting the ground, hitting the ropes, and taking all these falls onto old wood. It hurts. It’s always going to hurt, and that’s where you have to look yourself in the mirror. You have to ask yourself, question yourself if you really want this. You have to look down and wonder if you really want to chase your dreams. I know I had that same look in the mirror almost every day. But if you keep at it. If you keep pushing, you will get through this. And if nothing else, that’s an accomplishment. 

 

{Roxi pauses looking around the room.}

 

Roxi – You will hate this, and maybe, even after you get out of here, you’ll hate it because quite frankly, success does not come right away, once you leave here. It may take months, it may take years, and you may not be making a lot of money, or no money at all. And even then, you will have to look yourself in the mirror and ask if you want to keep chasing that dream. Because sometimes it may seem like it’s never going to happen. But all you can really do, is make the most of your opportunities. Get yourself out here. I don’t care if you’re wrestling at a flea market in front of 10 people, and your payoff is a corndog. You’re out there, it’s a match, you’re gaining experience. Just remember that that is the ultimate goal. Because the more people see you, the more they will talk about you. And that’s what it’s about. But the most important thing I wanna leave you guys with today, is that what you learn here, is going to be invaluable things you will learn when it comes to this game. Be here, by on time, and put what you learn into practice. Martin isn’t just here to flap his gums and take your money, through he will if you let him.

 

{The group laughs.}

 

Roxi – Just keep going, you can do this, maybe it happens, maybe it doesn’t. I can’t guarantee anything, and neither can Martin, you have to make the most of what you learn here. But the one thing you can’t do, is give up, because if you give up, and I know already there’s a lot faces looking at me thinking about it, you’re going to be sitting around and wondering and regretting what you could have had. You have a golden opportunity here. Make the most of it. Alright? Good luck guys.

 

{There is applause as Roxi exits the ring, and she shakes Martin’s hand one last time.}

 

Martin – Nice speech. Maybe one day you’ll be training people and we’ll go full circle.

 

Roxi – Maybe, but for now... I’ve got plenty left to do. Thanks again Martin, for everything.

 

Martin – Anytime.

 

{Roxi then smiles and departs, headed home the scene fades.}

Hello SCW.

 

I come to you this week, and yes, I was unsuccessful at Into the Void in becoming the 1st 3-time Bombshell’s Internet championship. And it stings, but that’s okay. After all, there’s always next time, and hey, maybe moving forward there’s another championship match in my future. But, time will tell on that one. I was a little anxious to see what the King and/or Queen would have in store for me when it was there turn to present the card and whatnot, and I can’t say as I’m surprised that Alicia didn’t book me, I mean, she was obviously going to give herself a title match and all that, but I don’t think she likes me much. But hey, that’s alright. I’m not gonna be the Debbie Downer around here, I like to bring people up more than anything. And I know people may not be fans of stuff I post on twitter, especially on Wednesdays, but if they want to be mad about it, that’s okay too. I’m just happy to be getting back into the ring this week and

 

I dunno what’s going on lately, but I’ve just been... happy. I’ve felt better, I’ve just been feeling good. Now, it’s hasn’t always been the best of times, since Keira has been feeling weird and I do worry about her and I really want her to see a doctor and just focus on the tasks she has left that she wants to accomplish. But with her getting back into the ring this week after last week’s snafu, now I get to feel a little better about that too. It’s just good. Life has been good. And on the 6th, I celebrated officially trying to be a wrestler for 10 years now. I know, it’s crazy, right? Where does the time go? This has just been a wild ride and I’m so happy I got to spend the majority of it here in SCW. I’m happy that I was able to share most of my life here with all of you, and that you have, well... put up with me for a whole decade at this point. There’s been a lot of ups and downs, twists and turns, and everything in between, but you know what? I probably wouldn’t change much of anything. I’m happy with the way things are right now, and I have been very eager to get back into the ring, and so, I can begin my climb back into possible title contention starting this week.

 

So, since Alicia left me out in the cold, Vinnie, the King, has decided to put me in a battle royal this week. And it is against some really tough competition and its people I’m very familiar with. And on the plus side, there’s $10,000 dollars on the line. Now, I’m gonna be honest, I don’t really NEED $10,000 dollars, but I’m not going to say no to it. There’s plenty of people who need money, so you know, plenty of people that I can give it to, should I win. Plenty of charities could use the money, so there’s countless uses for it, and helping a cause is always a good thing in my opinion. 

 

But, I’m just saying, if the money is in a sack with a dollar sign, I’ll be very happy.

 

Anyway, yeah the  battle royal is worth 10k and that’s all well and good, but the level of talent that’s been brought together for this match is crazy. People may just see it as a run of the mill battle royal that isn’t going to be really worth anything besides money, but I find those people a little short-sided. I mean, Jessie Salco, one of the longest tenured and durable wrestlers in SCW history? Former Roulette champion on multiple occasions? My good friend Sam Marlowe who has won everything there is to win practically in SCW, a legend, a hall of famer? Mercedes Vargas, also has won pretty much everything there is to win? Violet Amelia Holt another very tough and durable wrestler, capable of taking everyone ot the limit at any time?

 

Oh, and there’s Andrea Hernandez also.

 

You see? This has the potential to be one of the biggest battle royal matches in history, so for anybody saying it’s just for some money and they don’t care about money and it’s not worth it? They are dead wrong in my opinion. You have six world-class athletes all looking to make their mark or establish themselves, or re-establish themselves and it all has the makings of something special. And it makes me excited to be part of it.

 

Now, of course I did joke about making a championship out the money and winnings, and that was a little silly on my part. I mean, in today’s world, 10,000 dollars isn’t a heck of a lot of money, but it’s a lot more than a lot of people have, and it would probably cost more to make the title than it’s worth given the money involved so, I’m just gonna leave that in the “maybe” pile of ideas. Something we can work on down the line or something.

 

But that’s just me, you know? I like to have fun. Now, obviously there’s a couple of people in this match who don’t like to have very much fun, because as soon as the match was announced and shortly after, they had to chime in with how silly the idea is, and that they deserved better and have to bring the whole party down. You know, I don’t know why that there’s just so many negative people anymore. What’s there to be mad at?  You’re alive, things are good. The world is.... getting a little less crazy these days and we’re slowly coming out of a pandemic. There’s a whole lot to be happy about, But I guess some people are just never happier than when they’re miserable. It’s so odd to me. People are strange, as the song says.

 

But anyway, there’s plenty of folks here I’m not strangers to, and they certainly are strangers to me. In fact, the only real stranger I’d say is Violet Amelia Holt. Is it just a thing that we have to say her whole name? Is that like a rule? Do some people just call her Violet Holt? Like, when she signs something does she write her whole name in cursive? Do people even write in cursive anymore? I feel like that’s not really a thing anymore. I mean, We don’t even really sign for packages like that anymore. Just use your phone, a little scanner and boop, you’re done. Sorry, I’m getting off-track. Yes, Violet Amelia Holt is one tough wrestler, but that hasn’t really translated into success. I would hope that she really sees this opportunity, not only for money, but to be at the top of her game and make a giant move and take that step forward, because this is a great big chance to do something big. But, the more I think about it, the more that Violet is seemingly unable or unwilling to step up. She appears to be complacent. And that’s a rough thing to see in wrestling really. You don’t want people to just be happy to be there, you want people who are willing to put it all on the line. Violet has talked a big game for what seems like years, and really, what is there for her to show after all of it? Not a whole lot. It’s kind of sad when you stop and think about it. Is this just going to be another night for Violet where she loses and continues to flounder and just be a statistic for people moving up or will it actually be something that Violet can look back and be proud of? Is there anything in the ring, in a match that she can be proud of? I expect more from her, heck, I think we all do. But sadly, we just don’t seem to get it. Very sad.

 

I mean, at least with my friend Jessie Salco, there’s actual effort being displayed. There’s heart there, there’s grit and determination. You can see it every single time Jessie enters the ring. Every interview, it’s right there, staring us all in the face. Jessie Salco is going to give you everything. She’s going to bring it, each and every time. It has resulted in multiple championship reigns because she’s going to give it everything she has. I don’t ever have to worry about Jessie giving a lackluster performance. And to think, at one point, I would be hard-pressed to actually assist her in any way after her insults to my family. But over time, and a rough incident, things have obviously changed. It’s weird how that happens sometimes, but none the less, it did happen. But that was my feelings about her as a person, as a wrestler, I have no doubts about her. I have no doubts that she will be a tough test each and every time. Maybe that’s a Metal head thing, I don’t know. Maybe the music is so intense that Jessie just has to match the music. It is her lifestyle, that’s what she does, and you know what, I respect that. Music is a very powerful thing in this world. But you know, as much as I root for Jessie these days, and while the effort is there, it seems that even Jessie understands her limits. I’m not knocking her, she has challenged for the Bombshell’s championship on numerous occasions, which is a testement to her commitment and drive, but at the end of the day, Jessie has fallen short every time and at this point, I don’t think anybody really gives her a chance, and maybe in her head, Jessie knows that. Maybe she’s content with being at a certain level, knowing she can’t reach the next one. I don’t know if even 10,000 dollars is going to change that, but I certainly have to be on the lookout for her, but one thing she isn’t going to be, is resting on her laurels.

 

But you know who kinda is at this point? Mercede Vargas. I mean, didn’t Mercedes used to be a Bombshell’s championship contender at one point? Wasn’t she the champion of this very division at one point? I have to step back and wonder what the heck actually happened. I think my analysis of her resting on her laurels is on the nose, really. When’s the last time anyone, anyone at all, was considering Mercedes Vargas to be a threat to... well... anything? Like, I get it, Mercedes has won more championships than anybody else, she won more matches than almost everybody, she’s had long reigns, she’s done a lot in SCW. And that’s what makes this kinda sad right now. Has Mercedes just given up and turned into that old ring veteran who is going to start showing up at VFW’s and Convention halls and waiting to have people pay for her autograph because she’s just done with this? Is that where this is headed in the future? Mercedes at this point appears to just want to be doing this for her paycheck and that’s about it. Her whole demeanor these days appears to be “I’ve already done this, I’m not going to do it again. It’s like... come on, Mercedes, this is supposed to be fun. But then again, she isn’t even interested in the money. I guess it’s all that hostessing she does or whatever? Maybe she’s just cool with her legacy from like 5 years ago. Which is sad when you think about it. Grand slam champion, hall of famer all that, and now it’s just like... yeah, whatever. It’s a wonder if she will even show up at this point in my mind. What happened to the Argentinian Assassin? Where did she go? Is this like Hitman where she’s done enough assassining stuff and now she’s gonna go be a monk? Wait, nevermind, That’s Hitman Absolution and we’re going to pretend that game doesn’t exist. But I can’t help but feel the lack of... anything from Mercedes. It’s almost a shame that someone who has done so much, now cares so little.

 

 

But I know who cares a lot, and that’s my good friend Sam Marlowe. I have always enjoyed hanging with Sam backstage, how she’s just so... I don’t know what the word is... Pure? She always has a warm smile on her face, and It makes me smile when she says I make her smile and it’s just a smiley kind of time when I get to hang out with Sam. And she’s still going strong, even though she really doesn’t have to at this point. She’s yet another person who has done everything there is to do and yet, she still climbs into the ring when her name is called, and you always get a show. It’s crazy to think how good Sam has been and for this long without missing a beat. She can climb into the ring at any time and beat anybody. She’s that good, and she has been that good for a long time. I mean, that Gauntlet match what... 5-6 weeks ago, she was right there, she was on fire and doing amazing in it. I mean, it came down to me and her and I’m very happy that I was able to share the ring with her, even though she was worn down, she still gave me a fight and she could have won the whole thing if maybe I had made a mistake or something. And she was gracious as she’s always been with me afterward, and nothing seems to ever get her down, and it’s awesome. I will once again have my hands full with Sam in the ring, this time we’ll be in at the same time and I look forward to the challenge, I look forward to once again coming out on top, but I know, sometimes you basically have to incapacitate Sam to beat her. She’s just that tough. But that only makes me more excited to stand in the ring against her again.

 

And I guess we have to talk about Andrea Hernandez.

 

Undefeated for like six months. Impressive. I mean, when you wrestle maybe 1 once a month it’s a little less impressive, but still, no blemishes on the record for six months. And yet, Andrea still finds something to complain about. Again, I just don’t understand people who are at their happiest when they’re at their most miserable. Why? Why is it that every little thing has to be negative? Why must there be a problem with every little thing in her world? You win all the time, complain there’s no competition. Lose something, complain and make excuses about why you lose. Don’t get something you want, because people aren’t mind readers and they can’t give you something if you don’t express what you want... complain about that too. This is why nobody seems to want to tolerate Andrea for any length of time. It’s like that person who you meet in life, and you have to work with them, and they always have to talk down to everybody and act superior and they know best and then, when it doesn’t happen for them like they believe it supposed to, when the entitlement seems to not work, all of a sudden the world is against them. And it’s everyone else’s fault. It was my fault for a long time, and then Andrea beat me, and then what happened? A whole lot of nothing. I got back up and got a title match opportunity before Andrea did. Why? Because I’ve never felt entitled to anything. When I came back here a couple of years ago, I didn’t want to right away step into a championship match, I wanted to earn it, put me in the back of the line, and I’ll make sure I earn it. And every time I’ve had to go to the back of the line, I’ve made my way back to the front through my own hard work. Andrea is now sitting here and wondering why she’s not being handed anything or allowed to pick and choose anything, and it’s because of the simple truth that she has squandered any momentum she’s built up. You win so many matches, you have this streak, and then complain about Ruby getting a title shot she earned, and then... what? Andrea wants a roulette title match? El, oh, el, what? And now, we’re in this battle royal, and she’s already Debbie downer about the 10,000 dollars. “That means nothing to me!” Okay, great. “This battle royal is beneath me” I swear if she saw somebody walk on water, she’d say it’s because they can’t swim. This is about what you do, with what you have, and right now, Andrea has nothing. A handful of victories that become less and less impressive the more time she wastes. So, Andrea can do everyone a favor and eliminate herself if she can’t be bothered to really care.

 

Or, I can just do that for her. Either way, works for me.

 

But, anyway, yes, I am excited and looking forward to getting back into the ring, back into action, and taking another step towards earning another opportunity. After all, the Bombshell’s champion will need an opponent at some point before the next supercard.... 

 

I’m just saying.

 

But we’ll cross that road when we get to it. Right now, I’m focusing on 5 tough opponents and a battle royal that’s gonna make somebody somewhere 10,000 dollars richer. It’s going to be so much fun to see old friends, rivals, enemies and unknowns. Battle royals are so unpredictable and that’s what makes it worth it. 

 

So I will see all of you there, as we begin the journey, once again.
