The Test (Zoli)

[Marisol Cardinale]

*Backstage at TakeDown, Fabiola finds a familiar face warming up...*

Marisol Cardinale? Hi, it's Fab...um...what are you geared up for tonight if I may ask? You aren't scheduled for a match are you?

No, not yet...but that is going to change. The time is right for me to get off of the bench while there are other Diamonds out there gaining ground. The past couple of months I've been up against some of the best the company has to offer and right up until the Pearl Championship match I've done well against them all. There is no denying that I can be the top Diamond in this company...tonight is my night to prove that to everyone, and it doesn't matter who it that I face. I'm here and I'm ready to spread the Cardinal's wings and fly!

NOTE-it sounds like this is meant for anyone, but only one certain person should show up and get involved...

Zoli comes walking into the frame from the opposite side of Marisol.

Your Marisol. It is time to get off the bench and start taking some spotlight for ourselves. The executives want more emphasis on the women, a chance to showcase what WE can bring to the table, yet where are we in this plan? Nobody has approached me about some screen time. Nobody has come to me about even managing anyone just so I can be on screen showing off the..well..goods

So I'm with you! We were both wrestling for the other company a few months back and we never did really get a chance to go against eachother, and when we did, there was always 2 or 3 other women involved. So what do you say, me and you, one on one. We can show everyone what WE bring to the table that none of these other "diamonds" can?

T & A!

Talent, and Aggression! You know we both got the goods to get the job done. We could both be champions if we wanted to. If that is what we wanted right? Me, I just want to prove everyone wrong. They think I'm a pretty face with no wrestling base, but what they don't know is what I've done before and what I'm very well capable of doing now. So let's do it Mari, lets show these bitches how to steal a show!

That sounds good to me. I've seen what it is that you can do before, Zoli. Not just the Battle Royals and the TLC matches but everything, and it would be my pleasure facing you tonight in one clean old fashioned wrestling match.

We both have something to prove even though we've been here for a while and I think this will be the perfect opportunity to get people reacquainted to the two of us.

Fab: Wow, just like that you two are going to go at it? No kind of animosity or nothing?

Sometimes it's more about putting on a show and giving everything that you have, Fabiola. Sometimes that's all the motivation that you need to step into the ring. It's not always about who do you hate, but who can test your limits. Tonight I think is going to be a very good test for us both...

Exactly the point. All these other girls run around, claiming to be the best, calling people out and trying to flash their "goods" every chance they get because they figure alittle slippage can add up to a title shot or something.

It's women like Marisol and I that give the division some base, and some credibility. I'm not saying WE are the best of what we have here, but we damn well both know that we don't need to spit in eachothers faces, rake eachothers eyes and pull eachothers hair to get some recognition. Nor do we need to rely on some made up story about relatives and overcoming the odds of unsurmountableness.

We walk into the ring, we lock up, we perform and in the end, whoever was better on that night is more often then not, the winner. Enough said!

[Marisol Cardinale]

That's the long and the short of it pretty much. Tonight is all about getting back to the basics. We have ourselves a match, Zoli. Good luck, you're going to need it.

She winks jokingly at her opponents for the evening...
