“But I don’t wanna!”
Tasmin stood with a huge pout on her face, her arms crossed over her chest as her silver hair hung down her body. Her older sister Kayla shook her head and sighed as Jason and Matt looked up from the corner of the gym, Jason chuckled as Matt stared daggers at him.
“Tas, you know what this is, you have to cut your promo and this time show a little of the Richards bitchiness.”
Kayla grabbed her arm and Tasmin shook it away stepping back shaking her head.
“But why?..Gabriel has been so nice!. We talked on twitter!, can’t I just say he’s a great competitor and wish him luck?. I don’t want to be mean…”
Kayla growls and steps up to her sister, towering over the smaller sibling. Kayla’s green eyes firing up into Tasmin’s bright blue ones.
“You are so much more like Mum. God Tasmin, why can’t you be more like me and Amber?. Amber was once feared and respected, now I am. I’m going to be the next Redemption heavyweight champion and you have a real shot at maybe facing Ruby Lancer for the South Bay title….come on Tasmin...grow up...get mean..,.destroy that idiot Griffin verbally…”
Tasmin looks down and sighs.
“Alright Kay….I’ll try….”
Tasmin closes her eyes and turns to the waiting camera there to pick up Tasmin’s thoughts at Matt Shields private gym where he, Kayla and Jason all train with Tasmin.
“So like, last time I was in the ring I was able to show the world how much I’ve improved. And that’s the thing people forget, I’ve only had like three matches. Not just in WCG three matches total. I’m a rookie. I’m 18 years old. But I already love this. I step in that ring and I feel alive, I look at my sisters and their successes and I know that I could possibly be better than them….”
Kayla laughs and rolls her eyes, Matt shakes his head and Kayla stops mouthing “sorry”
“Hell at the first ever episode of Unscripted, I beat my own boyfriend….”
She turns to the corner as Jason frowns, Matt starts laughing and pats Jason on the back.
“Sorry baby…..but that was a big win for me, see I had to overcome not only my fear of facing Jason who is way more experienced than me and also overcoming emotional attachment. But now this week I face Mr Gabriel Griffin, and this isn’t someone who has a year or so more experience than me, here is a man who has atleast a decade over me maybe more if you include his college wrestling.”
“And the thing is Gabe is a beast of a man. Six foot four, two hundred and fifty six pounds and he can take me down and rip my arm off in seconds. This is a mis-match if I have ever seen one. A strong master technician with years of experience and still in his prime against me, a tiny rookie who has yet to stop growing. But the thing is mr Griffin, I have a lot of heart. I will get in that ring and lay it all on the line. I promise you I will fight and fight hard….”
Tasmin smiles wide as Kayla huffs and steps forward.
“You call that mean?...goddamnit come here…”
Kayla whispers in Tasmins ear, Tasmins eyes widen and she shakes her head.
“But that’s super mean!”
“That’s the point!...say it….”
Kayla turns and walks back to Matt and Jason, Tasmin looks up sheepishly before turning back to her sister, Kayla points and raises her eyebrows. Tas sighs deeply and mouths “sorry” before starting.
“But one thing that needs to be called into question is your integrity as a man. See we all watched after your relationship broke apart and within days you were chasing Alicia Lukas all over twitter, hitting on her publicly, offering “pancakes” which is you know Adrien Cochrane means something completely different…”
“Sure you said you just wanted “friends” but she was single and you went after her with even more ferocity than you have the Southbay title…”
“And that’s another thing. Why do you deserve a south bay title shot?. Look at the rankings Gabe, you’re behind a list of great competitors who have earned their way onto the rankings, you just turn up and think you can demand title shots?. You might be a veteran and worthy of respect but that doesn’t mean you get to call the shots around here. You have to earn your way in WCG and Redemption. And if you were so great you’d be on the Redemption roster going after Matt and my sister instead of developmental flexing your veteran muscles…”
“Meanwhile I have won two out of three, both matches I won were against much larger competitors who are also more experienced. I respect your in ring work but make no mistake Gabe, I am not scared of you...I will not be intimidated. I will get in that ring and aim to knock you out cause while you’re a wrestler...I’m a fighter….I’ll do what it takes to walk away with the win and I will show the world just how good Tasmin Richards is….”
Tasmin smiles and Kayla steps up
“See I have a family reputation to uphold. Now I’m not a mean person. But my sister says I lack the killer instinct that she and Amber do. And that bothers me. This perception that because I show my opponents some form of respect I am weaker than her…”
Tasmin points to Kayla who slowly smiles.
“That would be a mistake to assume. I don’t need to say horribly mean things and puff my chest out to be dangerous. I’m dangerous because while I’m little, I’m fierce and I will do anything and everything to get the win, I’m just as likely to throw my body over the top rope at you as I am to just throw a hard right hand or elbow. And Gabe as good as you are...I’m going to show you that my lack of fear...should be respected…”
