Clap, Clap, Clap, Clap
Slow sarcastic clapping his heard as Kayla Richards steps into the shot. We seem to be in some kind of comic book store as Kayla looks around, her long black hair in pigtails as she sports a nifty Matt shirts shirt cut off at her midsection and a pair of shorts also cut off very high. She laughs to herself and sighs before speaking with her middle class English accent.
“Well, I’m sure some of you enjoyed what happened a few weeks ago. Not exactly the finest hour for Matt and myself. First the night before One night only I was eliminated from the AFI. And now no one really cares about that tournament since the biggest star is gone. Handed a loss by an overrated MMA wannabe with a stupid name. But then, well then the next night was something that really doesn’t sit right with me. See Matthew and I were prepared for a match with Adrien Cochrane and Stacy Sterling….”
“But Stacy of course got an “injury”...”
“One of convenience. And in her place with no notice whatsoever we had to face Kenzie Rydell. You really think that’s appropriate?. You think that’s fair?. Adrien had the entire three week period to prepare for us, he knew it was going to be Matt and myself but we didn’t get the same amount of prep time. Devlin Scott seems to like giving his favourites a nice little push. But tell me, in two weeks time when I step foot in the ring against the Redemption Heavyweight Champion what is Devlin going to do to save Yujiro?. Is there anything he can do to stop me?. No...no there isn’t. And see week after week I have been put in horrible tag team and multi person matches designed to screw with me and my skill set...and truthfully I was getting sick and tired of looking across the ring and seeing Adrien’s stupid face….”
“But not even he is as annoying as the woman I have been signed to face at Glory. Aurora Graves….”
Kayla chuckles and steps up to a rack of comic books looking them up and down before picking up a Harley Quinn new 52. Kayla looks it over and slides it back in the rack with a grin.
“You know Aurora. Something you said to me on social media a few weeks ago really stuck in my heart like a dagger. You said to me that you were more of a sister to Amber than I was. That you were more family than I was. I sat there and thought about it and it kind of hit me that you’re right. You are more like a sister to Amber than I am. You two are actually really similar. You’re both fake and you’re both pretending to be someone and something you’re not.”
“See in Amber’s case she’s sitting at home, 32 weeks pregnant and talking about how happy she is with her husband. Pretending to be this happy little housewife, pretending to enjoy her domesticated life. See I know Amber, and I know that she would much rather be in my position, getting in the ring and scraping and clawing for everything. She would rather be wrestling and fighting than waiting for her child to be born. But see Amber is just putting up a front, she’s pretending to be something she isn’t whereas you are pretending to be someone else entirely….”
“You are so unoriginal that you have to take inspiration from a comic book character to make yourself seem more interesting. You and Damon walk around talking about being one of the greatest tag teams in wrestling like that means something. Tag team wrestling as an art form is dying. You and Damon lost those belts to the young cubs so fast I forgot the match had even happened. But I will give you credit, you are the more talented one in your little family unit…”
“I think you honestly have the better shot at having a singles career away from the team. Hell you already kind of did. In FSW’s closing days you were able to have a match for the FSW title against Tyson Gregory. You failed but hey you still got your shot in right?. It must excite you to be facing me though puddin. Cause I’m everything you wish you could be….”
“I’m younger, I’m faster and I have already had more success in my short time here as a singles competitor than you have. I mean hell you may as well be thought of as a tune up match for my Redemption title shot.”
Kayla smiles arrogantly and moves her way through the short grabbing a small Harley Quinn suicide squad figure holding it in her hands towards the camera.
“You see Aurora this is our world. It belongs to Matt and myself and people like you are just in it because we choose to let you stay. When it comes to this company and the business itself we are the bar on which the rest of you need to set your sights. While you try your hand at a singles run because you and your husband aren’t the top tag team anymore I will be succeeding. That Redemption heavyweight title will be coming home with me while you...well you’ll be struggling and pushing your way through the rest of the roster just trying to get noticed….”
“Using every single cheap tactic you can think of. And the thing is Aurora I would have respect for you if it was all done from your own personality and your own look but the truth is you don’t even have that. You’re a rip-off, a cheap photocopy of something much more interesting. What you do isn’t cosplaying, it’s not just for fun, it’s not even hero worship. It’s a cop out. It’s a way for you to get people on your side because if they did peel back those layers, the hair, the costume, the make up and the bat you know what they’d find?....”
“A boring, bland, whiny victim.”
“A woman who deep down knows that while she’s a better wrestler than her husband still won’t make it in the real world and will go running back to the security of her little tag team because she just can’t hack it. But don’t worry Aurora, if the whole wrestling thing doesn’t pan out they always need people like you to star in fun little films...you know..porn parodies etc….”
