"Diva..."
"Knockout..."
"Starlet..."
"Hatred.."
"Delusions..."
"Bitches.."
"We have it all and have different labels.."
"But this is ridiculous..."
"Rebelling against a word.."
"A simple word..."
"A description..."'
"It's ridiculous....."
"And stupid..."
"Just..."
"Get...."
"Over...."
"It..."
"Knockout..."
"Starlet..."
"Hatred.."
"Delusions..."
"Bitches.."
"We have it all and have different labels.."
"But this is ridiculous..."
"Rebelling against a word.."
"A simple word..."
"A description..."'
"It's ridiculous....."
"And stupid..."
"Just..."
"Get...."
"Over...."
"It..."
"So a word offends you?.."
Really?
"A word?..."
Hmm
"A collection of letters arranged to make a sound with a meaning that you take offense..."
Shakes head.
"The word in question "Starlet" was brought in as a label for the female wrestlers in NCW. A marketing tool. Nothing more nothing less. Much like my nickname "the strong style starlet". It's used as a marketing tool too get fans interested in what we do. Two women in NCW have taken it upon themselves to rid us of this label and to restore dignity to the NCW womens division...."
"One small problem..."
"I'm already doing that...But instead of bitching and moaning about a word I'm doing it by stepping into the ring week in week out and being the best. One loss on my record wont define me. Neither will a single win. My career is just getting started. I tried to sit back and watch the men in my family have all the fun and live out their dreams...."
"But what about my dreams?"
A world title?...I think so....
"I stepped in the ring with a life time worth of training. A family dynasty behind me. And now here I stand as one of the most exciting newcomers in NCW.As Kelly Knite said, I am the current "hot topic" in NCW. The other two hot topics in the NCW starlets division?. Zelda Knite's ongoing battles with management and my opponents this week....BWA..."
"BWA have decided to wage war against the "starlets". An issue I tried to keep out of because while I agree that "starlet" is a silly word to describe female wrestlers I can also see that it's just a label. BWA however have taken offense and drawn a line between them and everyone else on the roster. Their message is simple. If you think of yourself as a wrestler you stand with them, as a starlet?..prepare to be destroyed...."
"The only problem with this idea is that they inadvertently made me their enemy. See I respect Rayne and Ayla. Two women who bleed for this business, two women who have proven time and time again that they are wrestlers and they are NCW through and through. But when they think they can use gang tactics and bully the other women of NCW...well....I take offense to that...."
There one of me..I'm alone...I bully people solo....
"You see wh8ile I agree there are some pretty faces around here that do NOT deserve to be in the ring, alot of the "starlets" have sacrificed their lives for this business. I had a match on the collision web show against Mandi Matthews. It was a hard fought battle and Mandi earned my respect for taking the punishment I dished out and pushing me to the limit before I was able to get the win...."
"But then as I was walking backstage after wishing my husband luck in his match I turn to see Rayne and Ayla beating Mandi Matthews down who was doing nothing more than standing up for what she believes in. She stood up and looked right into your faces and told you that she was like you, a wrestler and instead of rewarding her courage and confidence you beat her down...."
"Well I wasn't going to stand for that..."
I may be a bitch but come on....
"And what happened?. Once the odds were even and I burst onto the scene you two bitches tucked your tails between your legs and ran. You took off because you know how good I am....."
"You can pick on Mandi and Josie and the other starlets all you want but when it comes to me you know damn well that anything you two can dish out I can take and give it back tenfold....."
"You know my family Rayne, you know where I come from. You have been with my brother Chris....you once loved him and perhaps in that heart you still have some feelings for him. My brothers are champions. My husband is a champion, my ex-husband is a champion......my family is wrestling...."
An arrogant smile...family pride FTW...
"But if you draw a line and ask where I stand..I stand with the others, because I refuse to let you bully and hurt women who like me have sacrificed their blood, sweat and tears for this business JUST LIKE YOU...."
"You want to remove yourselves and say you're different, go right ahead. But deep down the only difference between you and everyone else is that we don't care about labels, we just get the job done. Some of the girls go about it another way..the girls from SEX decide to be little skanky ho's, the girls from Burning Man decide to be the rookies who make good, Emma Danielson decides to pretend he's a she and compete with us. But me?...."
Small giggle...
"I do it by getting in that ring and simply being me...."
Simple?....
"And I'll tell you why. All of you failed to beat Zelda Knite. Rayne you can say you pushed her to her limits, Ayla you can rattle off others who did it too, but in the end you all failed. I haven't had my shot. I have to sit here and wait and wonder about Zelda's contract status. I sent a letter to leonard begging him to sort this out and bring Zelda back...."
"I don't even care if it's for the title. Don't get me wrong a world title shot would be awesome. But, well with or without the title Zelda is THE best. And I'll be damned if I get stuck with the tag of "second best" all because Zelda didn't put her signature on a contract. I have been proving that I belong here for the last two months. And until I am recognized as the best I refuse to leave and I refuse to lose to the likes of you...."
"So while I respect you....I will destroy you...."
Another smirk.....
Thwack....
Skin and bone slamming into a pad...
Thwack...thwack....
Again and again....
Thwack thwack thwack....
Three in a row....
"Don't you think you should give it a rest?..."
Alex looks at me, I smile but keep going anyway....
Thwack thwack....
"Ok then don't mind me...."
I stop and smile at Alex before sitting down on a nearby chair.
"Shouldn't you be training?..."
He shoots a somewhat arrogant grin at me....it's what he does...
"I have been..but come on..it's only Andrew Jacobsen...."
I shake my head and laugh....
"Alex you ever get the feeling that no one knows how good you really are?.."
I look over at him he just smiles....
"Sweetheart..everyone knows how good I am...."
I giggle and nod.
"ok maybe I'm asking the wrong guy.....It's just, I beat everyone who I'm put against, except one. And still women refuse to believe that I'm one of the best in the company. With the exception of Zelda Knite I've beaten every former womens champion in NCW....yet the only respect I get are from women who want to destroy the other women in NCW because they embrace the word "starlet"..."
Alex puts his arm around me and kisses me cheek.
"You'll get the respect you deserve..**** look at me..I've won multiple titles, main evented the biggest shows in NCW, beaten the biggest names, and I still get disrespected.....I wouldn't put to much thought into it..."
He smiles at me again and stands up
"I love you Shell...."
It still makes me blush...girly moment I know...shut up....
"I love you to...."
As he walks out I stand up....
Thwack thwack.......
Skin and bone slamming into a pad...
Thwack...thwack....
Again and again....
Thwack thwack thwack....

"Every week it changes..."
"You're coming back..."
"You're leaving..."
"You're gone..."
"You're back.."
"Cut the ****..."
"Either come back or leave..."
"**** or get off the pot..."
"Personally though..."
"I think it's all pretty ****ing lame..."
"Leave with the world title?.."
"Too Lazy or selfish to defend it?..."
"How about **** you...."
"And the horse that looks like my brother you rode in on....."
