Still The One (o2Marisol)

[Channelle Valencia]

TakeDown continues and Channelle's theme hits the PA. She didn't come to Japan as Pearl Champion as she had prmoised, but nonetheless she still was still oozing confidence. The blonde bombshell makes her way to the ring where a crewmember hands her a microphone.

So tell me ladies and gentlemen...how does it feel to be in the presence of a Goddess? You've all come here to get a taste of the finest the western hemisphere has to offer, so it would be a travesty if you didn't actually get what you plunked out your yen for, now wouldn't it?

Funny how we go from the capitol of the US to the Land Of The Rising Sun, huh? I love this country...you people remind me of well, me! Just like me, you're all so ahead of the rest of the world in everything it's not even funny! Your money is worth more, your cars are better than American "engineering", every bit of anything that actually matters comes from Japan...just like anything that matters in the Diamond Division comes from yours truly. Did you see how I fired up those little darlings at March Madness? How I made them not want to see me come out on top?

So you think that I'm mad that I didn't win the Pearl Title? I bet that must make so many people soooooooo happy that the muscled chick is the new champ and not someone who actually looks good in gold right? Yeah, I know for damn sure that it's makes all the rest of these average girls here just ecstatic that I don't have it.

Honestly, I'm happy I didn't win it either! Why you ask? Because I don't want the responsibility just yet. See if I had won the title then everyone would be looking up to me as the example of what a true Diamond should be and I don't quite think these little girls deserve that kind of example here...not yet anyway. I'm gonna just let them ride along and think that they're the bomb and when I say it's time...I'll put them all in their place!

There's still one person who I want to put in her place first though, and that's you Marisol. Oh you better believe I wasn't just satisfied with just humiliating you and your "wrestling honor" only once. I want to do it again, and this time I want to do in front of these Japanese fans.

You spent months training here to make yourself into a *ahem* better wrestler, and look where it got you? Beat. See, I don't care about any of that crap, I do whatever it takes to get what I want and if that means I have to step on a few toes, like YOURS for example, then that's just how the cookie crumbles.

So Mari-Mari...get your ass out here and let's make this official! I don't have all night.

[Marisol Cardinale]

Scowling the whole time, Marisol steps out onto the stage as her music plays. You could tell that the lady was not too pleased with a single word that Channelle had to say about anything. As she walked the aisle to the ring her eyes never once broke from the the cocky California blonde who did in fact defeat her in their first encounter.

Now inside of the ring, she started to speak into the mic she had with her.

Channelle...I have to disagree with you. You see not everyone in the Diamond Division is elated that you're not the new Pearl Champion. I for one was actually rooting for you, no offense to the other ladies. That would have made this night all the more sweeter when I beat you because I would be the new champion to boot. In fact, the only thing that I have to be disappointed about is not being in that PPV match and not have the opportunity of kicking your ass sooner!

Now, let me get this straight, you want to beat me again and this time you want to do it here in Japan, huh? You think that will symbolize something? I grant you this much, this country has become a second home to me. I love the people and I owe this place a lot for what they have done for me. I have every intention to repay them for their courtesy tonight in this ring when I give them the best match I can give...and in the process knock you right off of your high horse. Beating me tonight is something that is not going to happen, that I can say with no hesitation.

She smiled now, showing a confidence in her words and herself as she awaited a response.

[Channelle Valencia]

Oh? So exactly what have you been smoking, huh? You know what, I don't even care where all this confidence and humility is coming from, that's going to make it all the more sweeter for me when I'm the one who's disappointing you.

Channelle raises up her free hand to visualize the possibilities that she thinks are sure to happen this evening between them.

I can see it all now. The ref holding up my hand in victory...again, and you rolling around in pain...again, but this time having to somehow stomach looking these people in their eyes after making such a stupid little promise to them. There's that thing they say here about keeping face? Well, I hope that you're ready to lose some tonight because you've just put yourself in one hell of a position.

Do you think that you can keep your promise against me of all people? Maybe if you were up against one of the average girls running around here, but this is Ms. Glamourlicious that you're talking about darling. The Goddess is going to make you kneel tonight honey, and no...I won't be kind when I do it.

[Marisol Cardinale]

Mari smiles again in response. She shakes her head before she speaks.

It's not a promise that I'm making here Channelle. It's a guarantee! I have changed up a few things that I'm going to be doing tonight, and these are all things that I know you're not nearly going to enjoy as much as I am going to enjoy doing them to you!

You said at the beginning that you will do whatever it takes to win, even if it means stepping on toes or breaking rules. You can try to pull as many tricks as you want to, or use as many shortcuts as you think you'll need, it still will not do you any good, "darling". I am putting a great deal on the line here, because I'm that confident that on this night I'm the one who will be coming out on top.

Your so-called wrestling skills are nothing. The only way that you can succeed is by playing Dirty, and that might be fine in your book, but will never, EVER garner you respect here or anywhere else for that matter, not that you care much about something like that, hmmm?

[Channelle Valencia]

You're right. I don't care. It's when you stop caring about what these "fans" think or what the "boys and girls in the back" think that you actually start to do some things in this business. I don't know what's driving you to *ahem* wrestle, but for me it's realllllllly simple. Success.

That only comes by coming out here and being that person that everyone will be talking about the next day. I don't care how I win, just as long as I win...and if I do it in a way that's going to piss people off, then oh well...that like I said before is how the cookie crumbles. Honestly, if you're not willing to do whatever it takes then you're just plain limiting yourself.

What the hell am I tutoring you for though, you already have a "trainer" don't you? We already see what good all her teaching has done for you though. If I were you Mari, I'd ask for a refund!

An evil little grin. She knew that was going to go over really well.

[Marisol Cardinale]

Her confident smile suddenly changed right back to the scowl of earlier.

You have some nerve. How dare you! That woman has done more for this industry than you will ever accomplish in your silicone inflated life! It's not just that you get no respect you bitch, you have none yourself!

She has taught me a great deal about respect. She helped me to build up my skills, something that an *ahem* wrestler like you has nothing even close to.

As much as I would love to beat that respect into your skull, there's probably so much air in there that a punch would bounce off of it! What I can do tonight though is indeed show you the level of my skill in this ring and demonstrate to you and all of these people the difference between us. A vast and wide difference. Believe me when I say that tonight Channelle, YOU are the one who will be taught a lesson!

[Channelle Valencia]

Yakketty-Yak-Yak-Yak! Talk is cheap, Spanish Fly! You know what's going to be the most disappointing thing for ME tonight? The fact that she's not here in person to watch me make a mockery of you one more time.

Now THAT would make things all the more sweeter.

With that last wink, Channelle drops her microphone and slips out of the ring.

BuZZ: How can someone who looks so good be so damn...bad!? She's starting to remind me another cocky and annoying blonde from Cali who's employed by XWA.

Roach: We can only hope that Mari can do well on her promise to our Japanese fans to teach her a lesson later tonight.
