Step Up (Invite)

[roze]

Roze enters the Blue Cross Arena met by the cheers of the fans. As her music plays, the former Diamond champion makes her way down to the ring. A look of focus was on her face. She enters the ring and is handed a mic.

Ladiesand Gentlemen. I wanted to come out here and apologize to each and every one of you. At Soul Survivor, I let all of you down. I let the Diamond Division as a whole down. And more importantly, I let myself down. Now I make no excuses in my loss. Channelle proved herself to be a fierce competitor. But what she isn't, as Jamie Fury pointed out earlier tonight, is a champion. She may be in possession of the Diamond title at the moment, but she is no champion. Not in any of you fan's eyes. Not in a vast majority of the roster's eyes. No one. I made the mistake of underestimating her. A mistake I don't intend on repeating. The American Classic favors no one as far as styles go. It's going to come down simply to who wants it more. Who can whether the storm. And I have every intention on that woman being me. My initial title reign may have been short, but Channelle's? *Heh* she's going to go down as the most insignificant champion in XWA history.

I just hope that Jamie at the least leaves something for the rest of us to beat the crap out of at Independence Day. I know I'll be personally interested in seeing that Channelle's not just eliminated, but the FIRST person eliminated. But enough about that stuck up cunt. Tonight, I'm interested in seeing the rest of the field in action. And of course, the other three women involved in this are by far three of the best this business has to offer, Bianca Dianaco, Alundra Jade, and Ashley Diamond.

A rawkus cheer from the fans.

They're three women who thrive on competing at the highest level. And tonight, I'm looking to see how high that level is. Since Jamie's got Channelle all to herself tonight, I'm thinking the rest of us can get a small sneak preview by way of a Fatal Four-way match, tonight. It's not gonna be about who survives tonight, it's gonna be about who can win. One fall to a finish. How about it, ladies?

Bianca emerges from backstage, and the usual boos ensue as result.

Lucy: Something told me she'd be the 1st one to answer the call.

Travis: She's the original "Black Diamond", and one of XWA's best. Like her or not, she's been at the top of her game in recent months.

Bianca soon joins Roze in the ring, and with mic in hand, speaks her response.

Roze. Sweetheart. You've no reason to apologize. Not for that reason at least. Because as far as I see it, NEITHER of you...you or that blond, walking piece of plastic are worthy enough to hold the Diamond title. Let's look at this rationally. On one end, we have a drab, dull, boring, Emo chick who obviously forgot she had to wrestle in order to win a match. And on the other hand, we have a blond skag who traded in a stripper pole for a wrestling ring. It had to be by far the most BORING string of matches I've ever seen. And not because of the fact that you got your arse handed to you. Let's face it, neither you OR Channelle are even in the same ballpark as the rest of the women involved, let alone the same league. You little girls had your fun. But this time, it's time for the women to step in and take decide who the REAL champion of Glitter is. But I'll humor you tonight. Just so that you can see what a real competitor looks like. I've got no love lost for anyone in this. I should have been Diamond Champion months ago. But I had more pressing matters to tend to. But now it's time for me to take my place at the top. A place everyone in XWA knows I belong.

[roze]

It was one thing to eat her pride. It was another to be straight out dissed as Bianca was doing.

More pressing matters? Does that include getting your ass kicked by Ashley Diamond how many times? I swear I lost count. I've been around long enough to know of your track record. And yes, you're good at what you do. Just not against the best. You can talk down on my lack luster performance all you want, Bianca. I'm still standing. I'm still out here. And I'm ready to take back what I should have never lost. The XWA Diamond Title. And I'll either succeed or fail. But I'm not gonna let a manipulative trick like you throw me off my game.

[ashley]

Girls, Girls, Girls...please.

The fans roar in cheer as Ashley steps into the mix. She continues as she walks down to the ring.

As much as I like seeing a heated exchange of words, let's save it for the match, shall we?

Ashley enters the ring. She faces her long time rival Bianca 1st.

What a difference a month makes, eh Bianca? It seems you called it perfectly at Mayday when you said that one day, we'd more then likely meet again in this ring, with the Diamond Title hanging in the balance. Of course, there's a couple other females who want to see things go there way. Earlier tonight, we saw Channelle almost have a stroke when she found out this match was going to happen at ID08. And when you think about it, who can blame her?

She turns her focus now to Roze.

She managed to somehow find a way to beat you. And granted, she did put on some impressive performances. But the way I see things is simple. In MSG, it's either gonna be her night to shine, or her night to fail...BADLY. The American Classic represents the defining moment to tell the story on if she has what it takes to be a champion. Judging from her reaction earlier, she doesn't. Take a look at the other end of this. More then likely on Takedown, Mr. Gallas is gonna reveal the names of the five guys who are gonna be joining Ethan Bain in the Men's American Classic match. And I'll bet by Philadelphia ass that Ethan isn't in the LEAST bit concerned. That's a champion. That's a guy who's grown into being a champion. And seeing as I'm still only woman to have held the title for a lengthy amount of time, I know a thing or two about pressure situations.

Ashley nods and continues.

But what I did as champion was suck it up, go out to the ring and give it my all. Just like I plan on doing in MSG, and just like how I plan on doing tonight. I unlike you guys am not going to predict myself winning. That's not my style. What I am going to predict though, is the fact that you girls, Jamie Fury, Channelle AND Alundra had best be bringing your shiniest shoes to the dance. Because you damn well know I going to be.

Ever the fearsome competitor, Ashley waits for a response.

[bi]

Bianca gives a sarcastic applause.

Ladies and gents, the ever eloquent Ashley Diamond. Such inspiring words, really. Always radiating such positivity. So sweet...it makes the sides of my cheeks ache just listening to you.

And boos ensue there after.

The stage is set for my grand performance in MSG. You speak of bringing our "Shiniest Shoes"? Mines are pitch black, but they're going to lead me to Platinum and Diamonds once the night is over. And I'm going to take pride in giving you all a sneak preview of it tonight.

[alundra]

The last woman involved, Alundra Jade, makes her appearance. She stands at the set, and gets right down to business in her response.

I'm not going to waste time with a long, drawn out speech. I'm not going to make any bold claims or predictions. And I certainly am not going to try and undermined or 1up anyone else. I'm coming to play. And I play to win. I take what I do in that ring very seriously. Ashley can attest for that 1st hand. Bottom line, and I say this not just to you three, but to Jamie and Channelle backstage as well. Go hard or go home, girls. It's as simple as that. And yea, I'll be part of this Fatal 4 Way tonight. There comes a time for talking, and there comes a time for action. And wouldn't you know it, I've got nothing else to say. So I guess you know what time it is.

And with that, Alundra turns and heads backstage to prepare for the match.
