Ugly (Interview/Channelle)

[roze]

Near the stage entrance, Toni Phillups stands with the XWA Diamond Champion, Roze. Just a week removed from losing a non-title match against No.1 contender, Channelle. Toni kicks the interview off with a bang.

Last week, you were beaten by the woman set to challenge you at Soul Survivor, Channelle. Many say that it gives her momentum going into the match. What do you say, Roze?

I say that she got lucky. That's what I say. Do I look even the least bit concerned, Toni?

Come to think of it, no...

Exactly. It's called poise. And it surprises me how few females in XWA have it. Like our No.1 contender. What did she do last week following the win, huh? Just like it was scripted from the stuck up bitch bible, she ran her mouth. She made herself look like an idiot, which let's face it doesn't take much to do. Was she able to beat me? Yes. But anyone has that ability. That's why you compete. To see if you have what it takes on any given night to beat the next person. Last week was Channelle's night. But does Channelle have what it takes to be Diamond Champion? Not a chance. You take a look at the list of women who held this belt before me, and all of them shared one common link. Class. Even Sara Beck. Yea, she was a bit unbearable, but she held this title with dignity. Channelle doesn't have a dignified bone in her body. You tell me if a woman like her is a good fit for being the face of the company?

Some would argue she's not. But she might be just that if she can repeat what she did last week at Soul Survivor.

And we're going to test her mettle in being able to do so. Because right here, I'M naming the match to be had at Soul Survivor. I do have the right, do I not?

Toni nods.

Channelle. Last week, you said something about being "nasty". Well we're going to see just how nasty you are. We're going to see how sick you are. If you've got the stomach to get in the ring, and face me in my own element. We're going to see if your want of this title is worth you personal well being, your sanity...and your BLOOD. Because at Soul Survivor, It's going to be a FIRST BLOOD match.

The arena crowd roars in approval. A shocked Toni asks...

First blood? I...I hardly think such a match is up the alley of Channelle.

Why do you think I picked it? I've used to the sight of my own blood. I've been in barbed wire landmine matches. "BUCKETS O BLOOD" matches. I'm not afraid to bleed. But we're going to find out how Channelle feels about the sight of her own blood. We're going to see if the Diamond Title is worth her sacrificing having her precious little face scared for life. Which is why tonight, we're going to make things a bit interesting. Tonight, I test Channelle's chin. Later tonight, I'm going to walk down to that ring ready for a fight. And we'll see how Channelle feels about doing the same. Because tonight, it's all about setting the tone. And I don't see any better match for that, then a King's Road match.

The fans show there excitement again with a thunderous cheer. Roze looks into the camera for her final comment.

Youmanaged to beat me last week on your terms. Now, we see if you can SURVIVE on mines.

Roze steps away from the interview area. Roze goes to prepare for the match.

[Channelle Valencia]

Channelle's response comes later on in the night. Just a simple backstage shoot, no Toni. Only her and a camera.

So...the "champ" finally decided that she wanted to show her face after all. To think I was going to have the night off because she was too chicken to make an appearance after I made her look like an amateur last week. Now she want to have a King's Road match against moi tonight? Well I hope that works out for you Rozey, but we both know it's not.

All this crap about me "stepping into your world", and you say I'm reading stuff out of a book? Listen darling, you can stop trying to play it off like your some violence loving, vindictive bitch, because we both know that's the biggest farce in this whole company. I proved last week just how soft you are, and if you want me to do it again under your "terms", I have no objection to it. All it's going to do is give you less and less of an excuse when the time comes that I'm taking that title off of your hands.

Let me tell you the REAL similarity between Diamond Champions past, including you since we might as well speak of your title run in the past tense. Ashley Diamond, Angel Storm, Heather Fierhart, Sara Beck and you. All of you have in common the fact that all of you are "company girls". You said something about being the "face of the company", that's all you are basically. Good girls, role models, and positive images that represent the Diamond Division, yes...even your wanna-be tough girl ass. You need to take some lessons in the Hayley Jonas school of toughness darling, that's what I call a tough, blood-thristy bitch...not this canned crap you're serving.

If you want to compare me to anyone else in the XWA, it would have to be Scotty O'Dell. Just look at what he's done and what I'm doing. How many people have we pissed off? I'm starting to lose count. Just like him, I say what I want and I do what I want. Just like him, I don't give a damn about general consensus or status quo. Just like him, I'm making this place interesting, because everyone hates me, and I love it. You think you're the only one who doesn't want to see me become Diamond Champ? Pfft...take a number. I can give you the names of all the people who're gonna be having nightmares after Soul Survivor, and it ain't just you.

That's why the people don't want me to win the big one...because I'm not that positive "company girl". I'm a bitch. A loud mouthed, cocky, stuck-up bitch. The worst kind of loud mouthed, cocky, stuck-up bitch at that...the kind who backs up her talk. I don't put my foot in my mouth, I put my foot in my opponent's mouths. That's gotten me to where I am now, and its going to get me to Soul Survivor where I'll proceed to closing what's open and opening what's closed on your not-so-pretty face.

Oh yeah, I'm so happy you think you know how I'm going to react to the sight of my own blood. Hey moron, have you even been paying attention...it's happened before! Then again, I remember from last week you have the attention span of a flea and the brain size to match, so I guess I can't expect for you to pay attention to much accept for what's in front of you tonight.

That's all good though. I'm not even going to talk about that, you've done enough of it on your own. Tonight, what I'm going to do is see if you can back up what YOU say. Soul Survivor's a whole different story.

In the meantime, maybe I'll take up some real estate in "your world" Rozey. If last week was any indication, I seem to be pretty comfortable in it.

Ciao.

Scene.
