The first setting to be scene (scene/seen? get it?) is a more subdued setting on the eve of the New Year. A large suite in the city of Las Vegas, Nevada, home territory of Sin City Wrestling, was where we are. A hotel in North Las Vegas, well away from the famous Strip, is where the lunatic Bombshell known as Twisted Sister was staying, along with her care taker, Doctor Kraven Moorehead. And along with the pair, Doctor Kraven Moorehead's only friend and voice of reason, Doctor Samuel Valentine.
While the two doctors converse in the hotel suite, each holding a glass of champagne as the evening dims into dusk, the aforementioned Twisted Sister is seated across the suite, cross legged on the floor with a paper party hat on her head with colorful numbers '2017' on it, and a party horn blower between her lips. In her one hand, is a can of beer, and the other?
A blonde Barbie doll made up to look like Aphrodite, of course!
Doctor Samuel Valentine: "So as much as I appreciate you providing the accommodations, Kraven. I am curios why you didn't want to stay on the Strip? O thought your patient would enjoy the lights and colors, and all those attractions."
Doctor Kraven Moorehead: "That was more of a concern than anything else. I thought if I brought her out into that sort of crown, it would over stimulate her and something ... unfortunate, might occur."
Doctor Samuel Valentine nods.
Doctor Samuel Valentine: "Understandable, but that is the same risk you take on whenever you bring her out into the arenas, isn't it? I understand she is to take on another of these 'beauties' next?"
Doctor Kraven Moorehead sighs.
Doctor Kraven Moorehead: "Unfortunately. I fondly recall the days where my client played with the likes of the Delia Darlings and Roxi Johnsons. Now? She seems to find herself repeatedly booked against young women with superiority complexes."
DSK chuckles.
Doctor Samuel Valentine: "You say play, others at the hospital say butcher."
Doctor Kraven Moorehead waves a hand.
Doctor Kraven Moorehead: "A trifle concern. The higher ups in SCW have a fondness for entertainment and savagery. My client provides them both. In return, they vouch that all is well inside of the ring and give her a much needed chance to work out her issues inside of the ring with one of their Bombshells on a periodic basis."
Doctor Samuel Valentine: "I can't help but wonder how these other Bombshells feel about being used as proverbial lab rats."
Doctor Kraven Moorehead: "Not a concern of mine. There have been plenty of violent characters in the world of wrestling. My patient is yet another in a long line of names that have satisfied the bloodlust of the average fan."
Doctor Samuel Valentine: "So, it's a matter of 'you scratch my back, I scratch yours'?"
A loud crack is heard from the other side of the room. The two doctors turn to watch as Twisted Sister slams the Barbie doll's head against the table over and over until the plastic heads breaks off and flies across the room. Twisted Sister's eyes are wide with delight as she watches the head sail in an arc and hit the patio window with a soft plonk before falling to the suite floor.
Doctor Kraven Moorehead smiles.
Doctor Kraven Moorehead: "Precisely."
Doctor Samuel Valentine nods.
Doctor Samuel Valentine: "So! How shall we be bringing in the New Year? Shall we watch the ball drop on television?"
He is answered by the shrill sound of the paper horn being blown in his ear, making him jump! He rubs where the noise maker tickled his ear and turns to see Twisted Sister standing right there with teeth gritted and eyes wide.
Twisted Sister: "NO! We can't watch the ball drop! I'm DVRing it!"
Doctor Samuel Valentine: "You're ... recording the ball dropping on New Years Eve?"
Twisted Sister nods rapidly.
Doctor Samuel Valentine: "... Why?"
She leans in uncomfortably close.
Twisted Sister: "Because! If you watch it live, the commercials win!"
Doctor Kraven Moorehead's professional diagnosis:
Doctor Kraven Moorehead: "When I first was informed that my patient's first match for the year 2017 was to be against a supermodel turned wrestler, I admit I was disturbed. I had believed that at some point in the year 2016, we had done this at least once already. I knew well that Veronica Taylor had the misfortune of stepping inside of the ring against Twisted Sister, and I made my objections clear. It was only then that my assumption was corrected and I discovered that she was not, in fact, facing the Roulette Champion. She was to be competing against another supermodel competitor known simply as, believe it or not, Aphrodite."
"Again, I made my displeasure quite clear."
"In the world of professional wrestling where the possibilities are endless, to be stuck in a match against yet another young woman who fancies herself the epitome of beauty, to the point she named herself after the Greek goddess of love and beauty? Uncanny. One would think a woman such as that could come up with something, anything, more original to be her gimmick other than a supermodel. Not to sound trite, but it has fast become a situation of 'been there, done that.'"
"The supermodel-turned-professional wrestler has been done, my dear. It has been done to death, and might I stress that these so-called beauties are now a dime a dozen. What makes you any different than any other woman who claims to have strutted her path down the runway? Even if that was your calling, so what? What is so special to say you can fit into a size negative four and wear clothes while walking down a runway? There are dozens, hundreds, of women who have done so before you. Women who will be known twenty years from now as famously as they were a decade ago. But you?"
"You are the Greek woman who is so arrogant she names herself after a deity, thereby risking angering the very gods. Of course, given whom your debut in SCW is against, it is not so far fetched to believe you have already angered 'the powers that be.' Did you annoy Mister Ward during your contract negotiations and he opted to place you in the ring against Twisted Sister in the hopes he would never have to be bothered by you again? Did you brag about yourself too much in your initial meeting with Mister Underwood so he set you an impossible task to hopefully see some humility beaten into you?"
"One can only imagine that to be the case, my dear, because if humility is not beaten into you, then some common sense will have to do. Walking into a place such as SCW with such self assurance, only to find your fate sealed early in broken bones and spilled blood? My dear, at the hands of Twisted Sister, you will become a classic example of what is known as a Greek Tragedy."
