The Scene Opens….
The gorgeous, Peyton Rice walks down historic Chinatown in Yokohama, Japan. Wearing ripped jeans, wedge sandals and a UWA t-shirt with her long brunette hair hanging down, her toe nails polished white and looking stunning as ever. This is a huge match for Peyton and with so much on the line, she is up to the task. She nods as the camera starts to record…
REC:
She starts to speak in her cute, girly voice….
“Who what have thought there was a Chinatown in Japan? I find this to be really cool hence why I decided to come here and film my promo. Time to cut the crap here. Piper Street, you don’t like me, that’s fine, we are not always going to get along. I think the main reason was because you weren’t the center of attention at Ante Up, you felt like I was. No, Piper, I was simply very respectful and friendly, appreciative of all I learned from the Academy, if they liked my positive attitude, great, if they didn’t? That’s their choice, this was never a popularity contest, I came to learn, to train and wrestle, here I am. It seems like I get labeled a lot of things, I can’t argue with Andrea about the “hype” I was given and I thank her for the compliment about being a success but that is not true, I have a long way to go and short time to get there, that’s the pressure about hype, people expect big things from you, both Piper and Andrea are no different. Let’s face it ladies, we are the faces of the Cruiserweight Division along with Christy Hightower, we are the blood that pumps, every single Turmoil coming out to wrestle but now?
It’s different for me.
I get your struggles Andrea but you know what? If you let them define you then yeah, you deserve to not find what you are looking for. Pick yourself back up but it seems to me like you’re more afraid to fail and lose then you are of winning and becoming the Cruiserweight Champion. I can’t think like that, I walk into this match hungry, see I was given a taste of just how close I was to becoming the Champion at Olympus in front of that crowd, it was absolutely amazing. Thing is, I want to have that feeling but this time holding the Championship belt over my head. I’m not going to allow my fears, my struggles or doubts faze me, that’s where you are lacking Andrea and I know you have the talent and the heart, no one is denying that one bit….
The hesitation?
The fear?
That will cost you against someone like Piper and me.”
Very serious and genuine, Peyton brushes her hair back some and takes a deep breath, ready to speak again…..
“This is it Andrea, if you don’t win here then what? Will you pick yourself back up and go at it again? Or finally walk away? You do the latter? Piper wins no matter whether she wins this match or not. As for you Piper, I know Savali is ready to do whatever it takes to help you win and what will that prove? Are you really going to spit in the face of Ante Up Academy and everything they taught you for a shortcut?
No!
I won’t go that route ladies, I still believe in integrity, we also have to remember that the Champion is the referee, so Christy, I challenge you now, not to a match but to go out there and call it down the middle, not who you want to face, who deserves to be at Sectioned and give you the fight of your life. I look for it to be me, I’m not standing here questioning my abilities, I won’t go on some narcissistic, self-absorbed rant about how great I am, this isn’t the end of the world if I lose but honestly….
I’m ready to take that next step and deliver on that hype this time. I have a lot of people watching, they put their faith in me, a burden I carry so I will NOT disappoint. Piper, you are a legacy, no question, prove it tomorrow night. Andrea, no fear, fight for what you believe in and bring it….
And Christy?
Do what’s right.
Ladies, after Turmoil?
EVERYONE will know that I am NOT just another PRETTY face!”
Peyton winks and cracks a smile….
FADE TO BLACK
