Internal Damage (Helena)

[heat]

The lights in the arena flash a familiar purple hue. Faithless' "God Is A DJ" sounds over the PA, and the Tokyo Dome comes unglued as Heather Fierhart makes her way into the arena. Giving high 5's on her way down the ramp, Heather seemed up beat and focused.

Roach: Here come da' QUEEN! But the kingdom hasn't been the same since the revelation served up just 3 weeks ago.

Buzz: No kidding. And at the forefront of it is Helena Troy. I'm still in shock over the fact that this apparent family feud has existed right underneath our noses.

Heather enters the ring, and is provided a mic.

Last week in Budokan Hall, I fell to the hype. I buckled to the pressure. I got pinned in a Tornado Tag match to Helena Troy. A woman who since entering XWA has pretty much taken the Diamond Division by storm. Last week, she and one of my other "friends" Bianca Dianaco joined forces to form what they call "The Black Diamonds". And they proved they're a force to be reckoned with.

Heather looks out to the crowd's reaction before continuing.

But Helena. You of all people should know that we're FAR from finished. If there's one thing I don't take to easily, it's losing. ESPECIALLY to someone I know that I can damn well beat. And I know I can beat you. Just like I know you can beat me. And that's why I'm standing here tonight. And that's...why THAT'S hanging above the ring.

Heather points to the Steel Cage above the ring. Th crowd responds with a thunderous cheer.

Buzz: I was wonder why the hell that was up there.

Ialready know that you're not just your average "diva". You can't be with with your last name. And you know that I'm no average diva either. You and I are the product of two of the most legendary wrestlers to ever grace the ring. I've worked damn hard the last 5 years to carve my own path from the shadows of my family name. As I know you have as well. Tonight, It's not about our names. It's about who WE are. About where we are in this industry, and our careers. Helena, to say this is personal would be the biggest understatement of all time. It's not that I have to beat you. It's that I WANT to beat you. Inside of a 15 foot high Steel Cage, where there's NOTHING left to chance.

Just a few moments after Heather finishes, The lights in the arena dim slowly...

[hel]

Helena's music starts up on the PA system. The woman fast becoming XWA's most diabolical femme fatale enters the arena. She has a slight grin on her face as she strolls down to ringside. She could simply see in Heather's body language that she was struggling to maintain her composure. Just the reaction that Helena wanted. This would be an interesting "conversation". Helena enters the ring, beckons for a mic, and responds to the challenge of her rival.

Now this is one hell of an extreme, Heather. A Steel Cage Match? Against lil' old me? I would almost...juuuuuuuuuuuuust barely think that you had it out for me. How's it feel, by the way? What you ask? How's it feel to be the woman on the LOSING end of match for a change. That really does speak volumes about the level of talent, or LACK there of in the Diamond Division. You've got women here who haven't been able to beat you on numerous tries. I've beaten you twice. Fresh into XWA and I've done what dare I say NO woman in wrestling has done. Defeated "The Queen", on two separate occasions.

With her classically evil grin, Helena continues to pour it on.

Now there can be an argument made that they both were Tag Team matches. And in the 1st match it was in fact you Brother I managed to pin, after my Brother Kaster knocked him silly of course. But the fact remains that in our two matches to date, I was on the winning end, and you on the losing end. What kills me is how so many people will always say "I didn't factor into the decision of the match". That my friends, is BULLSHIT. If your standing on the apron when the bell rings, you're in the match. And if you're involved with the person who lost, YOU LOST. But don' worry, Heather. You won't soon be alone. Not at all.

Helena finishes up.

Tonight, one on one...I dethrone you once and for all. You see, there's only room for ONE Queen Of Wrestling in the industry. And I just don't see you as being fit to rule any more. At the end of this night, The Troys will FINALLY have proven without a shadow of doubt that we ARE the 1st family of wrestling. And I will prove, inside of Steel Cage, that I am your better. PERIOD.

The crafty and vindictive Helena lowers her mic. With a sly grin on her face, she awaits Heather's response.

[heat]

Heather was more then pleased that Helena was game. She raises her mic and replies.

And so we finally learn the truth, huh? Well let me put something in crystal clear perspective for you. I've EARNED the title of being called "The Queen". In the last 3 years, there isn't a female in wrestling who's done more then I have. Yea, you're tough. Yea, you've got skill. But there's one thing you don't and I doubt will ever have. And you prove it every time you open that mouth of yours. You see, being good is not having to tell everyone that you are. That's me. I do, and will continue to do, and that's all. You'll never here me running off at the mouth about being the best. Because I don't need to. I get in the ring, and I show it. Tonight, it's YOUR time to prove your worth.
