Are we doing this again? Alright, alright. I’ll do this again, but it’s going to cost you.
(Our scene opens on Mercedes Vargas as she pulls into a gas station.)
OK, so my last match didn't turn out the way I wanted it to. There is nothing as more unpredictable than a triple threat match, which seems to be a common theme with me as of late. You have all these unseen elements; you have to look out for the unexpected, eyes in the back of your head. That was my what, third, fourth, such match? Anyway, so Crystal won, she got the pinfall – but, remember, it wasn't against me. It wasn't against me. She pinned Rose Acantha. The way I see it, better her than me.
(Mercedes steps out of the car, slams the door behind her and then fishing into her purse to finally come up with a credit card, swipes it before taking hold of a gas pump handle from the main pump.)
Apparently, my match this weekend is against Addisyn Starr. (in a deadpan voice) Wow. I don't really know what to say about this one. (drops the tone) I mean, I certainly didn't expect this. This is my first singles match against her after our first meeting, which was in a – would you believe a triple threat match with Rose Acantha? Yeah, so there's that. And then there's this losing streak I'm on – four matches now. This is not how I wanted to start 2013, on a losing streak. That's not me.
(She sticks the nozzle into her car, and pulls on the lever of the nozzle until it catches, and starts filling up. Leaning against the car, she continues.)
I'm better than this. I'm not like the other girls when they get beat, they simply laugh it off, they simply shrug it off. I'm competitive, that's just the kind of person I am. Wrestling is a business of winning titles and being the top dog, that's my philosophy, and I'm sure a lot of people share that philosophy. Every wrestler wins matches, every wrestler loses matches, but it's the great wrestlers that are able to bounce back from a loss, or in my cases, a series of losses.
(Mercedes starts up the car and pulls out of the space before slowly driving off.)
(At a sparsely furnished gym, just a couple of treadmills and a few weight lifting benches. On one of the few treadmills is Mercedes. She is wearing a gray sleeveless shirt and leggings. She grips an iPod in one hand as the earbuds drapes around her neck.)
What do I think about Addidsyn? Well, for one, in my humble opinion, she doesn't belong here. She doesn't belong in this company with some of the toughest female wrestlers today. Honestly, how did she even get a contract? And just when I thought NCW didn't have enough attention whores, another one is now apart of the roster. You would think Steve Awesome was still Head of the Starlets Division or something. And secondly, there's just isn't any room here for her smut. Really, do I have to explain this one? We've already got rid of people – just like her – who tried that and, not surprisingly, their reputations were ruined because of it. Amy Marshall, Skye Armannni. Megan Sanderson, surprisingly, is the last of a dying breed. I'm sure there's a few more I'm forgetting...I guess it’s fair to say my opponent is trying to make a name for herself, and that's a good thing. She has her own webisodes, apparently, and while they are by far not anything I would consider as a guilty pleasure, per se, I was not amused. More like alarmed. They should cancel her Fruit-of-the-month membership.
Does she have potential? Of course. Am I going to take her seriously? Don't I take every opponent seriously? Does she have a chance of beating me this weekend? Well, sure. But that's not going to happen. Her debut win was the occasional case of, oh I don't know, “beginner's luck?” Seems to me all that luck has worn off lately. I've been in the ring with Megan and Shelly, and neither one is an easy opponent. My point is, it's going to take a lot more than deep throating the fruit and vegetable aisle in order for anyone to take her seriously, which, again, I do – about as seriously as choosing the right lotto numbers.
You do what you can to get people to notice you, to entertain the fans and all that, but do you really want to be pointed and oogled at like you're the main attraction at the circus? All I'm saying is that some of us are more talented, hard working and have decided to be more than pandering show ponies..
(Scene opens on Mercedes driving towards JFK International Airport. She is wearing a white New York Rangers baseball cap and has her sunglasses over the brim.)
You know, it’s funny you mentioned that. I did, in fact, saw her match with Michelle last week, and I wasn’t surprised by the outcome. If Addy had only kept her eyes on her opponent, maybe, just maybe she would have a chance. A minuscule one, but a chance just the same. There won’t be any distractions tomorrow night, though. Just her, me, and the canvas between us. Don’t get me wrong, she means well, but if she’s looking for a win, and more importantly a win against me, then’s she just plain out of luck.
Read my lips, write it down – I’m walking out of Collision with my head held high and my hand raised in victory. I’m going to end this losing streak. And as for Addisyn Starr? Don't know what's going to happen to her after our match. She's still funny, but the novelty is wearing out fast, which can only mean that it will be a matter of time before she becomes a fading star in NCW.
(Fade to black...)
