The Warm Welcome (Holly Woodz)

[esther]

After a segment of the going-on-strong Supershow, Fabiola is backstage yet again for another interview.

Fabiola: Ladies and gentlemen, tonight we've see a huge influx of new talent making their first appearances on XWA TV, and at this time I would like to welcome another new face. She's one of the newest additions to the Diamond Division, please welcome Esther Laurant!

The newcomer is all smiles as she makes her first on camera appearance.

Thank you so much. I'm so excited being here in the XWA. I've heard a lot about this place, and I can't wait to be a part of all of the action.

Fab: So where are you coming to us from Esther?

I'm all the way from Montreal, Quebec...here to show the world that the Canadian girls have still got talent when it comes to wrestling. We haven't gone anywhere.

Fab: Do you have your sights set on anyone in particular? You know a lot of women here have quite the reputation...

I suppose the one thing I have my sights set on the most is to begin building my own reputation here. I won't back down from any challenge that comes my way, and I will give it 110% every match, win or lose. The one thing I want more than anything else in this business is respect, and I know that's not something you just demand. You have to earn it, and this French-Canadian girl is ready to earn everything that comes to her!

Fab: Well, you sound like you're ready to go! Good luck, and again welcome to the...

Before Fab could get the nicety out of the way, all of the sudden someone decided to roll out their own welcome mat.

And that someone was none other then the always abrasive Holly Woodz. She pushes pass Fabiola and eyes up the new comer as if she'd stepped in something. She then takes Fabiola's arm and positions it so that the mic was firmly in front of her.

You're French...


...AND you're Canadian...


...I DOUBLE...hate you.

With the said, it was clear that Holly wasn't going to offer any words of advice to the newcomer.

You wanna earn respect, sugarplum? Then here's what ya' do. Ya' go in the locker room, ya' put on your cute lil' ballerina leotard, ya' come out to the ring later tonight, and I beat you 5 ways to Sunday...on a Friday night. And maybe, just maybe...during the course of me kickin' your Canadian keester all over that ring, I might just respect the kind of ass kickin' you can take.

Pretty cut and dry, but you'd expect nothing less of Holly. What would Esther's reaction be to being confronted by one of the most unorthodox females in wrestling?

[esther]

I'll tell you what you should respect as well...how good I am at giving it out as well as taking it!

Esther smiled confidently.

Why do people have so much of a problem with the French? Really...French-Canadian people are some of the nicest people in the entire country of Canada! You really should visit sometime.

She continued on with her "kindness", knowing full well that it was surely getting under Holly's skin.

I know, how about I teach you some French right now? Ce soir, je vais montrer au monde entier et les fans de la XWA ce que je peux faire. J'espère que vous êtes prêt à aller, parce que je sais que je suis! (Tonight, I will show the world and the XWA's fans what I can do. I hope that you're ready to go, because I know I am!)

I'll see you in the ring, "mon cheri".

And again, Esther is all smiles as she walks off to prepare for the match.
