Backstage during the most recent broadcast of Takedown, Fabiola stands with one of the newer faces to grace the halls of the promotion known as XWA. A woman unseen by XWA faithful before this moment, she stands with a bright smile on her face as the camera zooms in a bit before Fabiola raises the microphone to her lips, introducing XWA's newest diamond to the world...
Fab: Well ladies and gentlemen this seems to be a reoccurring theme here in XWA as of late. New talent being brought into the mix by Ms. Blackheart & Mr. Gallas. So this should be no surprise that I stand here with yet, another new talent. A woman some may or may not know from her hundreds of appearances on the indy circuit around the country. World, XWA it is my pleasure to introduce you to Ms. Cleo...Jones.
There was a small yet noticeable rise in applause from the crowd within the arena, not as large in scale as some of the more established femme fatales of XWA would have received yet enough for Cleo's smile to increase in size as she spoke momentarily into the microphone...
"Thanks Fabby. Im so excited to be here in XWA. This is truly one of the happiest days in my short career. Finally in the big leagues and it feels good to be a part of this environment."
Fab: I'm sure you are Cleo. It's been a long time coming with all that you've done in the independent promotions around the country as well as Canada. And of course I have to ask you, and I'm sure all of your fans are wondering; what took you so long?"
"Well, to be honest Fabby, it was just all about timing and being ready to take that next step. Coming into a promotion as big and widely known as XWA is nowadays, you have to be on top of your A game and ready for whats to come. I had to be real with myself and wait until the time was right and I'd had the right amount of in ring seasoning and experience. That's all. But I'm here now and I plan on making the best of it, and hopefully giving the fans to marvel at in the ring. Hopefully. *Giggles*"
Another round of applause from the crowd ensues, as Cleo winked her eyes towards the camera still smiling from ear to ear as Fabiola continued on...
Fab: I see. Very well Cleo. Well we all know that XWA is home to some of the most fierce of female competitors in the sport. Chloe Lockheart, Sara Beck, Kim Hunter, Bianca Dianaco, to name a few. What do you think you can bring to the table in a place that has seen its fair share of people coming in claiming to bring something different to the table?"
"Well honestly in this point of history in our sport, there's not much to bring to the table that can be new."
An eyebrow raised by Fabiola was followed by a stern look on Cleo's face before she continued on...
"Let's be real here. It's all been done before. You're the best technical wrestler? Done before. I can name a hundred women who said they were just that. Heather Fierhart. Sarah Andrews. Shelby Danes. Elizabeth Knight. The list goes on. You're the baddest bitch in the land? I can name a hundred more who claimed to be that. Helena Troy. Dayna Mariano. Lilith Creighton. The list goes on. You're the sexiest in the sport? Like who cares about that part of it anyway but I can name plenty. Amber Gianni. Destiny Knight. And a thousand others who thought showing their assets even meant something when you stepped in the ring. Now don't get me wrong, all of those names I called out are definitely fierce competitors who have earned their stripes but sitting here claiming what you are does nothing but set you up for failure. We all lose and we all have bad days. It's not about how many times you win or how many times you even lose. It's about how many times you can get up after you fall. I can promise I'll never stop getting up. Guaranteed. Bottom line is this; Talk is cheap. I'll let the in ring work speak for its self when I get into the ring. Which will most likely be at the next Pay Per View, after finishing up this contract thing. A few kinks to work out. But we'll see Fabby, we'll see."
Fab: Very well put Cleo, very well put. Well, any last words for the fans and the XWA before this interview is all over?"
"Only that if you want to know what Cleo Jones is about, just watch. I'll make sure to put on an entertaining show no matter what. Win or lose, titles or not or whatever may come. That's what it's all about. Let's make it a good long ride people. "
After that last statement Fabiola turns back towards the camera, raising the microphone to her lips again before offering...
"Well there you have it. In her own words from Cleo Jones. I get the feeling she's going to be one of the ones to watch during the second half of this season of XWA. Back to you Mike & Buzz."
