(We open our scene with a view of a cardboard target attached from a hanger. Bullets riddle through the target .)
“I love the smell of ammunition in the morning.”
(With a satisfied smile, Mercedes Vargas stands blowing the smoke off the tip of her gun. Carmen pops her head over to her stall. She nods her head in approval at her cousin’s performance.)
Mercedes: So, how did I do?
Carmen: Well, if you want an honest opinion, you’re getting pretty good at this.
Mercedes: Really?
Carmen: Oh, yeah. Who taught you how to shoot – Stevie Wonder? Your aim is way off.
(Mercedes rolls her eyes as she yanks off her earmuffs and walks pasts Carmen on her way to the front desk.)
Mercedes: I'm just not feeling like myself today. The pay-per-view is tonight, and I don't know if I'll even got that title shot.
Carmen: You've been going on about that all week, Mercy. So what if you're not chosen? It's not the end of the world.
(The clerk stops what he’s doing and turns to her.)
Clerk: Will that be all?
Mercedes: That’s it. *turning in her gun and magazines* Can I ask you a question?
Clerk: Sure.
(Carmen briefly looks up and realize what may happen next. The clerk looks up at her as she briefly does pantomime. He misinterprets her facial expressions at first, but his slight nod assured her that her message got across. Mercedes stops in mid sentence.)
Mercedes: What's wrong?
Clerk: Uh, nothing.
Carmen: Mercedes, we've got to go. Your flight is an hour.
(They leave before Carmen turns back around to the clerk, mouthing "thank you" as we fade to black.)
I can’t help but shake my head at this week’s Spike TV episode. Sure, Michael had his Fab Five and his outlook on what went down on Collision, …but then he completely ignores the fact about my match last week?
What’s up with that?
Yeah, I have a gripe. But it’s okay, it’s alright. I’m not too offended. I completely understand. Denial isn’t just a river in Egypt. His wife was embarrassed on live national television last week, and he’s too ashamed to admit it.
Can’t say I blame him.
Well, anyway, tonight one of four lucky contestants will get an opportunity to challenge for the Starlets Championship, and that decision is left in the capable hands of the NCW fans. Don’t you just LOVE democracy? Now, this is down to me and three other people, and while I would usually go through them one by one, I’ve decided to do this on a whole.
A former Milenia Champion, a former Starlets Champion, and a former two-time Starlets Champion. Ayla, Emma, Alysson, the three of you have had success as singles champions – well, some more than others – and you could say that I’m kinda jealous.
Don’t you dare pity me.
Every company I’ve stepped foot in, I at least had one singles title run, but that’s not going to help state my case as to why I should be the one in that match come Sunday. Now, Ayla, I’m pretty sure at this point you’re probably on your rooftop singing “I Will Survive”, if you haven’t done that already. You’ve been here since day one, and most of the time I’m left scratching my head that you’re still here even after Rayne up and left. I have to admit, though. Despite your best efforts, you still don’t get the respect you deserve.
And I would say the same for Emma Danielson, who just like Ayla, is threading water in NCW. I don’t know how you can stand not being on the card every week, but them the breaks, I guess. Some would say a title shot is long overdue, but then you look back at the Road to the Gold tournament last year, and how you were shockingly eliminated. Sad, but true. Don’t worry, I know you’re also one of the founding members of the division, though you would be surprised at how some people seem to forget that.
Just like your title reign.
And then there’s Alysson, who says she doesn’t want the title shot, and to be honest, I’d believe her, I really would.
But if I did that, we’d both be lying.
Look at you, trying your best to act all modest and everything, it’s almost cute. The thing is, Alycat, if that was your best attempt in trying to convince me, you sure aren’t doing a good job of it. I don’t think anyone isn’t being fooled here. You put on a brave face, but deep down, you’re angry inside. You say you got nothing to prove anymore? Uh, yeah, I think you do, sweetheart. It’s painfully obvious that you would love nothing more than to get revenge after being embarrassed in one of, if not THE most embarrassing matches of your career.
Your adoring public won’t settle for anything less.
Now, I can't guarantee you I'll be in the title match, but I can guarantee this: Come Sunday, Jennifer Williams, the honeymoon is over. You can forget about Xander Famularo retaining the World Championship, because that's NOT going to happen. And as for you? Well, it doesn't really matter who is staring across from you in that ring, your reign is done. Here's a fun fact: There has been 12 different Starlets Championship reigns held by 9 different Starlets. The difference between you and the other 8 title holders? You’re the only who no one takes seriously. I can name a few people who are better suited to be Starlets Champion right now.
You’re not one of them.
The very idea that you showed up on Collision to air your grievances surprised me, but has it ever occurred to you that while you were trying so, so desperately to get attention, no one was actually paying attention? No one cares that you landed on the cover of a magazine, no one cares that you’re holding the Starlets Championship, and you want to know why? You want to know why instead of being the top female in the division, it’s like you’ve become, well, invisible? Because everyone knows you’re an afterthought, but more importantly, everyone knows you’re a fluke. You always have been, you always will be, Jenny. I’ve been punished enough, but having to sit through your run as world champion is 28 days of my life I’ll never get back. Your run as world champion makes me want to cringe, it makes me want to throw up in my mouth, and I’m alone in saying that.
Your days as champion are numbered, so enjoy it while it last...
They couldn’t have picked a better name for this pay-per-view. There will be a new dawn…saving us from your title reign.
