No, it's not a comeback. It's not a triumphant return to wrestling. It's not even a return period. What this is, is me, taking care of unfinished business.
My last match was in 2011, and it was a loss. To Crystal Hilton. And I was okay with that. I became pregnant and gave birth to two beautiful children. I didn't need to wrestle anymore. I was happy, Ricky retired and came home and he never went back, except to have a little fun every now and again, with no chance of getting hurt. Everything was going just fine. I was content with everything.
Well, almost everything.
It takes a real tough person to pick on someone who can't defend themselves. It takes a real winner to take shots at someone who was no longer in their sights. So, after a while, with Ricky at home, everything was okay, until I began to reminisce about my past. About Ricky's career, and how he shared it with me. Something came back that I didn't really want to remember. Crystal Williams, taking every opportunity she could, to run me down. To drag my name through the mud. I wasn't going to say much at first, seeing as how Ricky beat Todd at the biggest show of the year, for the world title. I thought that that, right there, would be more than enough to satisfy me for the rest of time.
Obviously, I was mistaken. Either that, or I really underestimated how Crystal really is.
So, I began to do something I usually never do. I began to re-watch every time she was on-screen. Every word. Every remark. Every backhanded compliment. I watched, I listened, I remembered. And I got angry. I got upset. And as added fuel, I remembered that this woman actually beat me in a match. It reached it's boiling point. I couldn't stand in anymore. I made a choice in my head that night:
I'm going to take this bitch out.
But once I looked at myself in the mirror, I realized that I was in no condition to fight anybody. So, I have to get back to work. And so, I did. I got back into fighting shape. It took longer than I would have liked, I feel I should have been ready two months ago, but I wasn't satisfied with myself. I needed to push harder and be better. I began to remember how abysmal my actual record was in NCW. I didn't take it seriously. I didn't have the drive I do now. But maybe, this was perfect timing. NCW is closing, shutting its doors. And really, all I wanted to was the fight Crystal. That's all, just that, and then, be done with it. I didn't need anything else. It's all I want, and it's what I'm getting.
Crystal is someone not a lot of people like. And it's easy to see why. She was, at one time, the number 1 starlet in the world. She was attached at the hip to Steve Awesome. She was a big deal. But that's over now, isn't it? She wanted to make up, and be friends with me at one point. Because I'm supposed to just forgive someone who slung all the stones she could living in her glass house. I'm supposed to forget being made fun of at every turn. Well, I'm not going to. We've gone beyond that now. Now, there's no turning back
from this. This is Crystal having a made the bed, and now, she's going to lay in it.
So, now, I'm going to do the entire starlet's division, and women's wrestling in general a huge favor, and destroy Crystal Williams. No, there's no need to thank me, it's something that had to be done. And it's long overdue. I know I'm not the only one, and I know there will be people who want me to beat her for something she did to them, but I guess I need to make something clear. This is for me. And me alone. I am going to punish Crystal for every word she ever uttered about me, and my family. Because that is what this is about. She ran her mouth, and now, she's going to eat every single word.
It's not about simply winning. I don't care about winning the match. I don't care about losing. This isn't about the starlets title, it's not about the starlets division, not the women themselves, not even about NCW. Those things are simply a backdrop to me simply beating Crystal like a dog, and making her suffer. That's what I'm going to do. Some of you may enjoy it, some of you may hate it, I don't really care. What I care about is beating her within an inch of her life, for all the humiliation and degradation she caused me.
In short, I'm going to beat her ass.
[Roxi is doing push-ups on the floor. Ricky sitting on the weight bench behind her.]
Roxi - 16!
Ricky - You sure about this?
Roxi - Never been more sure in my life. 17!
Ricky -I always thought you were okay with staying at home.
Roxi - I was. I'm not anymore. 18! And besides, 19! This is only one time. 20!
[ Roxi stands up from the floor. Rubbing her hands and shaking out her shoulders.]
Roxi -One and done. Just tying a loose end.
Ricky - A loose end? Baby, you've been obsessing over this since December. At first I thought it was just to get back into shape, but now, this is a little extreme don't you think? All this trouble for one match?
Roxi -You heard what she said Ricky. She wouldn't let it go. She could have, but she didn't. Now, it's payback time.
Ricky - I just don't want you to do anything rash.
Roxi - Rash? What is NCW going to do? Fire me? It's the last show.
Ricky - I know that, but c'mon it's not that serious.
Roxi - Yes. it is. I do not want Chloe and Logan growing up with the notion that you can just taunt people and get away with it. Especially their mother.
Ricky - They're not even a year old yet.
Roxi -It doesn't matter. It's the principle.
[ Ricky throws his hands up in mock surrender.]
Ricky - Alright, I can see there is no talking you out of this.
Roxi - When have you ever talked me out of anything?
Ricky -I can talk you out of your clothes.
Roxi - Ha. ha. Funny.
Ricky -You asked.
Roxi - And you're being an ass.
Ricky - I'm just trying to lighten the mood. You've been so focused lately that you aren't the same person.
Roxi -Just let me get through Sunday, then it'll be all smiles.
Ricky -Promise?
Roxi -Promise.
Crystal, if I'm blunt with you, it's for a reason. That reason is, because I don't really want to sit here and explain to you how screwed you are. I'd much rather show up close and personal by punching you in the face. But what I want to do really do, is not worry. I want the Crystal I face to be the same pompous, annoying skank that has always been there. And I want her to talk even more trash than she already does. I want to be that Hollywood Starlet from two years ago. I want that. I want you, to be at your peak. I want you exactly the way I remember you: A cocky, selfish princess who thinks she's better than she really is.
See Crystal, I called you a princess because it's really close to what you actually are. Yeah, think about it. Usually, they're stupid, easy, and give little girls all over the world a horrible example of how to live life. It's true. Think about it, Cinderella was about a girl who just waiting around and got what she wanted. Sleeping Beauty taught them rape was okay. The Little Mermaid taught us that making a deal with the devil is okay as long as everything is okay in the end. These are the types of people that you represent. The type of lazy, uptight, girls who are waiting for a prince to come and take care of them because they don't have a independent bone in their body.
And to think I actually liked some of those movies.
And while you parade around with the world champion as his sex toy, you have accomplished very little, you've earned nothing, you have become nothing. It's one of the reasons why I'm going to beat you, and I'm going to really enjoy doing it. This time, you take the beating you should have taken the first time. But it's not just finishing the job that motivates me, it's not the whole princess thing I just went over. It's not even being so much better than I showed back when I was an active wrestler
It's simply because....I don't like you.
I never thought I would actually hate anybody, but you are clearly at the top of the list. It's just that you set such a bad example that I need to intervene. And the fact that it's been a while since I beat someone senseless. And you are the only person I want to really beat senseless. No Crystal, this isn't going to be a fun night for you. But it will be A night you'll never forget. Trust me. I'm been waiting for this day, for a long, long time.
You may have started it, but I guarantee you...I WILL finish it.
Ricky - Oh mommy?
Roxi - Yes?
Ricky - Somebody had to see you.
[The Johnson's son, Logan, with help from his dad, walks into the room.]
Roxi -Logan.
Ricky -He's upset.
Roxi - Aww... What's wrong sweetie?
Logan -Mom..mom..You..go?
Roxi - Yes sweetie, Mommy's going to go, but only for a little while.
Logan -Mom...No..go..
Roxi -I'll be back honey. I promise. In the meantime, you stay here with Daddy.
Logan -Mom...No..go..
Ricky -He'll be okay.
Roxi -I know. He's my big strong man. Huh?
[ Logan giggles as Roxi pokes him in the belly. ]
Roxi -Yeah.
Ricky - You have everything?
Roxi -I think so. Where' Chloe?
Ricky - She's napping. I don't think she'll notice your gone for a while. But this troublemaker...
[ Ricky blows on Logan's belly...]
Roxi -Have fun with daddy baby.
Ricky -C'mon little man, let's start your wrestling career.
Roxi -Hey!
Ricky -What?
Roxi -Don't you corrupt my son.
Ricky -He's mine too!
Roxi -I know that. But I don't need him flying off the top of the couch and falling through tables just yet.
Ricky - A little flying elbow never hurt anyone.
Roxi - *Giggling* I love you. I'll be back soon.
[ Roxi kisses Ricky and heads for the door.]
Ricky -Bye-bye. Say "bye-bye" Logan.
Logan -Mommy!
[ She turns back to see Logan blowing kisses to her. She smiles and blows one back. She leaves the house, and gets in her car, dropping the bag in the backseat. She gets in and starts the car...]
Roxi - Now, Let's go whoop that bitch...
