Let's do this (Invite)

The lights in the arena begin to go off as Ashley Diamond's theme hits the PA. The Atlanta fans respond with cheer as Ashley emerges from backstage. She looks out to her loyal fans on the PPV set as the world famous "Ash-Lee-Die-Mon" chant booms in the arena. She makes her way down to the ring with a purpose. She grabs the mic supplied on the ring steps and enters the ring.

What's up Atlanta!!!

The crowd booms in cheer for the original XWA Diamond.

It's been a wild ride so far in 2008 for yours truly. Some would say I've simply picked up from where I left off in 2007. Many people call me the best pound for pound female wrestler in the world. And while I do love the praise, I know for a fact that I've yet to truly reach my potential. I'm not as good as I can be. I'm not as good as I want to be. You see, my goal is to be the best. PERIOD. And we all know I don't need a title to be the best. We all know that it takes one hella-tuff female to be able to best me in this ring. A woman like say...Alundra Jade.

Cheers rain out from the crowd at Alundra's name.

Alundra, I know last week you lost the Onyx Title to Michelle Marx. And I also know that you have no intentions on challenging for it tonight. I read your blog. You said you were done with titles for a while. Which is a good thing. Because that means that you can focus on something a little more meaningful. Like ME. You see, a few weeks ago, you took me to the cleaners. And I respect a woman with the level of skill you have. With all due respect to the people who sing my praise, I know for a fact that the best female wrestler in XWA is you. You're track record speaks for itself. You're the most decorated female competitor on roster. You really don't need a title. Your spot in the wrestling hall of fame is pretty much on reserve. Which is the reason I have to face you again. The last time, the Onyx Title was on the line. And in my eyes, it was a distraction. I was so focused on beating you for it, that I lost my focus on beating you PERIOD. That's not the case tonight.

Tonight, it's not about titles. It's not about egos. It's not about trying to verbally one up each other. It's about a pair of the best squaring off in this ring one on one. It's about me redeeming myself. You're the 1st female to beat me one on one since when I LOST the Diamond Title in mid 2007. And I want to see if you can do it again. So how about it, Alundra?

Ashley lowers her mic. An entrance theme begins to play, but it WASN'T Alundra's...

It was the theme of Leani Li, who seemed mighty pissed about Ashley's challenge. As her music plays, she storms out to the ring. Calling for a mic of her own, Leani gets right into the face of Ashley for a heated response.

I DON'T think so. There is no way in the hell I'm letting you off the hook for last week. NO ONE makes me tap out without there being a heavy price to pay. Screw that old biddy Alundra. You want to talk about redemption? That's not what I'm out here for. I'm out here to prove to the world that you beating me last week was an out right FLUKE. I refuse to except the fact that you beat me, REFUSE!!! If you're facing anyone tonight, it's me. Plain and simple.

Leani awaits the response of Ashley.

[ashley]

Ashley rolls her eyes as Leani speaks. Once she was done, she responds.

Youknow, I should have seen this coming. I should have known that an ego as large as yours could never fathom the idea that someone might be just a lil' better then you at things, even just slightly. Silly me for making that assumption. But I'll tell you this one thing right now, YOU don't dictate who I face, sweety. Only I do. You don't need to worry your pretty, inflated head. There was no way I was going to leave you out in the cold, but tonight it's about me taking care of my business with Alundra. Win or lose afterwards, I'd be more then happy to make you tap again...and again...AND AGAIN.

With a sly grin, Ashley lowers her mic.

[li]

With narrowed eyes, Leani replies.

I bet you think that's real cute. To bad it's as ugly as that god awful get-up you wear to the ring. Seriously, what's up with that? 1989 called, and they want their wrestling gear back. Horrible fashion sense aside, you know damn well you don't want a piece of me. Admit it. You're going to do everything in your power to duck me. This week it's Alundra. Next week it'll be that ghastly Daffney broad. Then the next week someone else. You want no part of me because you KNOW you'd never be able to repeat last week's performance. Go ahead and admit it to the world.

[ashley]

That's where you're wrong...AGAIN. In fact, it's the complete opposite. I'm doing YOU a favor. I'm giving you time to go back and look at the tapes. To look over the match and see where you lost it at. You're a talented wrestler, I'll give you that. You went hold for hold with me, which let's face it NEVER happens. But you failed to take a very important thing into play. Your forte is submissions. Mines is BALANCE. Not to toot my own horn, but the reason I've had my success in this ring is because unlike others who are great at one thing, I'm great at ALL things. And it takes someone who can actually see that, and come at me with that same mindset to best me. But nooooooooooo...you want to ease your now broken pride. You want to save face for getting beat. Trust me, sweety. I duck NO ONE. In fact, it's the other way around. Why else do you think some of the other supposed "Aces" of the Diamond division haven't even so much as mentioned anything regarding a challenge against me? But don't worry, their times will come, just like yours.

[alundra]

Just as Ashley finishes, Alundra's music hits the PA. Into the arena steps the former Onyx champion. With her eyes focused on the two women in the ring, she makes her way down the walkway to the ring. Before entering, she calls for a mic and slides in. She gives a look to both Ashley and Leani before raising her mic to speak.

It seems as if we have ourselves a little stalemate. On one side we have Ashley Diamond, looking to prove herself as result of her defeat at my hands, and on the other side we have Lady Leani, who's pretty much in the same boat having lost to Ashley. And then we have myself.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...interesting conundrum we have here. But I think I have a solution, ladies. It might not be one that solves the problem, but it will be one that at least eases things. It's clear to me that this issue isn't going to be settled until one of us pins the other two in succession...one on one. But tonight, I say we have us a little Triple Threat match. Someone's gotta lose in it, am I right? And whichever one of us gets the pin, gets their desired match at Glitter. If Leani gets the pin, she gets her match against Ashley. If Ashley gets the pin, she gets her match against me. And if I win? Well...I get the satisfaction of knowing I've beaten the both of you not just one on one in the best, but all at once tonight as well. Sounds like a good deal for all, doesn't it people?

The fans cheer in approval for the proposed match.

[li]

Leani words a heated response...

What it sounds like is a cop out. But fine. If that's the way it's got to go down, then so be it. I'll be more then happy to put the both of you losers in the L column where you belong. Tonight is MY night. And then at Glitter, I make the ass kicking Alundra gave your for the Onyx title look like a slap on the wrist.

Leani releases her grip on the mic, letting it drop to the floor. She shoots a spiteful gaze at both women and leaves the ring.

[ashley]

With a simple nod of her head, Ashley agrees to the terms of the match as well. If she had to go through both women to get the match she wanted, she had no problem doing so. She sets her mic down and takes leave of the ring as well.

[alundra]

The scene would end with a shot of Alundra still in the ring. She watches as the two women leave, both with the same agenda, just two ends of the spectrum. For Leani it was about her ego. For Ashley it was about her honor. For Alundra, it was simply about competition. As she begins to leave the ring, the show goes to the next segment.

The End.
