Seats taken (o2 Manami,Cole,Sireena)

[mrfeelnothing]

Takedown returns from a commerical break and we are taken backstage where we find the lovely Fabiola.

Fabiola: Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome back to Takedown I'm now joined by Paige Monroe.

The camera pans out a bit and Paige enters the screen.
Fabiola: Paige what are you thoughts on your big win in that brutal 3-Way Diamond match at Madness?

Monroe gives Fabiola a dirty look and then begans to speak.

Monroe:What do you think my thoughts are? I walked into Madness and did exactly what I said I was going do. I walked out the victor.

Fabiola: Yes that would be an accurate statement..

Monroe pulls the microphone back towards herself..

Monroe:Don't you ever cut me off again you toothpick, or I'll pick my teeth with you and then throw you out with the other trash.

Fabiola: Sorry Ms. Monroe, continue

Monroe: Now as I was saying, I walked out with the hard fought victory, just like I predicted. And no I didn't wait for another Diamond to hit "her" move and then throw her out of the ring and steal the "W". I was the one that dropped Manami on the back of her head and pinned her shoulders down for the 3 count.

Fabiola: So what brings you to Takedown tonight Paige?

Monroe: (Looking at Fabiola with utter disgust)What brings me to Takedown tonight? I’m on this show you idiot, you really are as dense as you look.

What’s on my mind is how does a Diamond lose a PPV match and then find herself in a match with the Diamond’s champion on the next show? I’ll tell you how, it’s possible when you are being groomed to be the next big thing in this company.

Fabiola: I take it you are referring to Okami facing off with Diamond’s Champion Jamie Fury later this evening.
Monroe: Well look at that someone finally had a correct thought. All season I’ve been hearing about how Okami is making such major waves throughout the division. And even though she is 1-1 this season so far she somehow finds herself in a main event level watch fighting the #1 woman in this company.

Fabiola: That is also an accurate statement, as I said we will see Fury vs. Okami later on tonight. I take it you feel Okami has a spot that should have been yours?

Monroe: Of course I feel that way, but then again she did manage to beat me once too, by some work of god. But I see what is happening here in the XWA, the people in control want her to be a top girl. So everyone with the stroke are making sure she gets her chance.

Fabiola: Are you seriously throwing out the theory that the XWA is attempting to push Okami into the limelight?

Monroe: I've said what I think. But I'm a proactive thinker, and I know spots here in the XWA are not given they are taken! And that's what I plan on doing this evening. I'm calling out names and knocking out dames.

Fabiola: Well who exactly are you planning on calling out?

Monroe: First off since I still feel some bruises from a few weeks back so I'd like to kick Manami in the face again tonight. Then there is this Alesha Cole tramp. I heard the garbage she was spewing a few weeks ago about wanting to make an impact here. Sorry slut there is already a new Diamond making waves in this division and that's me.

Fabiola: So...

Monroe: Speaking of making a name for one's self. There was another washed up betty I've been hearing about reclaiming her spot in this company. Sireena that would be you! (Looks directly at the camera and points) I don't care if you've been in this company before, you were barely around and wasn’t missed, so don't try and come back this year and get your place back in line. There are no saved spots around here missy. I'm sorry to inform you, but you haven't even started off this season on a good note. And I'm thinking tonight is no difference.

Fabiola: So what are you getting at Paige? Those are some harsh words aimed at 3 different diamonds.

Monroe: I’ll cut right to the chase and talk slow so you and those other 3 can follow. I’m thinking the 4 of us Diamonds get in that ring tonight and have ourselves a little Survival Battle Royal. And when it’s all done and over I’m going to rid this division of you 4 pieces of trash in one night. And move on up the ranks. See ya in the ring bitches.

Monroe then walks away from the interview area.

Fabiola: That was Paige Monroe lying down a bold challenge to 3 of her fellow Diamonds. I'll attempt to get a word with those women asap. Back to you guys at ringside now.

A While Earlier

A rent-a-car pulls into the larking lot at the TakeDown arena.

Alesha Cole jumps out and strides into the backstage area, suitcase trailing behind her.

She checks the match listing for the night

Not set on the card… ok, I can fix that.

Current Moment

Alesha walks out of the dressing room…

Alesha Cole,

Fabiola steps into shot with a camera,

I was wondering if you had heard the words Paige Monroe had for you earlier tonight? Or any thoughts on her challenge?[/i]

Well Fabiola, damn how do I feel?

Pleased that I’m gettin’ in the ring on my first night?

Annoyed that my big entrance was swept away fro…

she smiles

Hey, you know what Fab? We’re gonna do this properly.

Damn, this is my first full show as a wrestler and I want my stellar moment…

Come on girl, we’ve got a show to put on…

She walks out of shot.

Moments later ‘Low’ by Flo-Rida cues throughout the arena, and Alesha Cole steps out on stage…

Smiling at the ovation she raises the mic her lips,

I’ve waited a loooong time to do this here in the X-Dub…

LIGHTS…

The arena lights turn a shade of purple, and her spotlight appears,

CAMERAS…
She looks at the camera and winks,

PEOPLE…

She raises the mic the catch the booming ovation

Rosemont, Illinois…. It’s time to RAISE THE ROOF

The crowd explode

Hell Yeah… That felt good…
Now XWA Universe please welcome the loverly Fabiolaaa…

Fabiola joins her on stage,

Now Fabiola, allow me to address your question…
Allow me to address Paige Monroe and her planned, ladder climbing…

You see, Paige Monroe’s problem is she thinks, because she’s got a bad attitude, she’s owed something by this business.

And because she’s… a little on the grumpy side…she doesn’t like me either.

So the fact that she considers you one of her first steps isn’t a problem r you?

A problem? Being the bottom rung?
For the moment, uh-uh.. I’m the new kid on the block, got lots to prove and not a leg to stand on. But if Paige Monroe, and her very serious outlook are takin’ all this as a job already done, then this is one chick she might get a nasty surprise from!

And the fact the referred to you as a tramp who…

Woah Woah Woah Fab… we don’t need things like that here, there are kids around.
But let me ell you what I will do, in fact Paige Monroe, you’re probably out there basking in being ‘straightedge and better’ so why don’t you listen up too.
Cos some of what you said about Alesha Cole crossed a line. You call me the bottom rung, I’lll prove you wrong, you call me a tramp and girl…You runnin’ your mouth.

So what I’ll do is this…I guaran-damn-tee you one thing, I’ll take a lot of what you said about me, hell I’ll take a hefty portion of the drivel you’ve been spewing for the last couple of months, I’ll deep fry it for ya, I’ll dip it in sugar, and then tonight, here in Rosemont

She gets her cheap pop

I’ll take great pleasure in stuffing those words right down your throat!

Cos tonight is go big or go home time… and ladies… I only know big!

Alesha’s music cues again as she poses on stage, blows some kisses to the fans, and heads backstage to prepare.[/font]

-Sitting backstage in a dark corner of the arena where she can be alone to meditate, Manami hears the loud stomping footsteps of the tired camera man and the agitated Fabiola. Manami wasn't really one for interviews personally, she preferred to remain quiet and let her actions speak for her, but sometimes that didn't work.

Standing up, she opens her eyes and stares daggers at the two setting up the equipment for the interview. Silently watching the two, Manami shakes her head and leans against the wall. As the camera man gives Fabiola the nod that they were live, she steps into frame with Manami. -

Fabs:" Miss Kuroguchi earlier Paige Monroe had some strong words for you saying she wants to kick you in the face again tonight. "

" I know, you daft bimbo. Why else would I be back here meditating in my ring gear? She wants to try and kick me in the face again? Fine, I welcome her to actually do it. It should be most entertaining. Now for that vacuous Alesha creature, do you really think pandering to these imbeciles is going to gain you some sort of advantage? Think again, pandering to the crowd is a cowards way of getting ahead. Monroe I can respect, she is all about getting ahead at any cost. You? You're the same cookie cutter fan pandering hypocrite that is ruining this business. These gaijin are only cheering for you because you are attractive, don't let anyone tell you otherwise."

-Sneering at Fabiola Manami barks.-

" Now get out of my face before I do something You'll regret. "

-Seeing the cold hatred in Manami's eyes, Fabiola gives the camera man the cut it sign as they quickly leave Manami to her isolation.-

[ss]

Fabiola here with a reaction from Sireena, regarding the words earlier from Paige Monroe. Sireena?

What was it she said, I'm washed up betty? Hardly Paige! While you've been trying to make your name wrestling Manami, I was wrestling the girls who mean something in this companies history. Hayley Jonas, Sonya Robbins, both former champions here in XWA. I believe that proves I'm not "reclaiming" my spot, but rather keeping it, and maintaining. I mean something here obviously, and it must be something big because my name is on your lips, and your calling me out.

She called you, Manami and Alesha Cole out for tonight.

There are only 2 real reasons a girl calls out another girl in this industry. Either for an easy win, or to try to get over on them, and move on. So, she must want my spot. Sorry girl, your going to have to earn it, just like I have done. Just don't think a single win here tonight, if you hide and let the three of us beat eachother til one of us is left, and you manage some sort of roll up out of nowhere. No, you fight tooth and nail, you bust your ass off, you fight til you can't fight no more, then if you win, then you can brag, then you can move on.... but don't think it's going to be easy, because I guarantee we will make it hell for you!

She then stares into the camera, then looks towards Fabiola, and walks off camera
