The scene opens to a warm panel lined room in the ESW main office . Its part of the inner sanctum where plans are made and dreams begin or end. A few people are huddled around the table brain storming.
“So basically what your telling me is that your going to follow me around all day ?”
“Well yeah that's the basic premise . See what the Co-Commissioner does in Phoenix and get inside her head . See what's going on in there a few days before her PPV watch with her ex-lover.”
“Interesting . What the hell I’ll do it.”
And so Rayne found herself on a plane , which no longer bothered her anymore, heading towards Phoenix with a camera crew in tow doing a small documentary on young women in wrestling .
The camera is on Rayne as she gets off the plane .
“Well here we are Phoenix, Arizona. Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport to be exact .
Can’t say that I’ve ever been in this lovely state , and all I can really say is that I hope its not to hot. I don’t deal with the heat and humidity too well and I hear temps here can get into the 100’s.Almost makes me wish for snow or Air Conditioning at least . “
They follow her progress from baggage claims to getting her rental car .
“And now we are off and heading towards the Hyatt Regency Hotel where I will be staying the next four days. Now I know Your surprised that there was no limo waiting and that I’m not staying at some posh hotel . Truth is not all wrestlers live high on the hog and sip champagne every night . That shits not for me , I’m still that all American girl next door . Sure I have a decent bank account , a job that pays well , but what’s most important to me is having my independence and knowing that I can do and be the person I want to be and not answer to anybody
I have earned peoples respect and acceptance. And I don‘t need someone there holding my hand and baby sitting me .Sure, I like everyone else like having someone there for me to be supportive of me , some companionship, and yes even for physical needs . But there's a fine line between that and fucking co-dependency if you get what I mean .
That’s where my relationship with Eddie went wrong . We started out as equals and people in love and then are careers pick up and things spiraled out and on the outside it looked great . But inside there were lots of problems . We started needing each other in ways that weren’t healthy . Eddie started to lean on me more and more and it started to get suffocating . So I gave up the sport I loved to try to make things better . But I was wrong that was the worst thing I could do . “
Rayne glances in the rearview mirror and smiles somatically . “Sorry there Bud, I didn’t know I’d have a crew with me when I rented this car.” Rayne says as she notices the camera mans discomfort at being crammed into the back seat of the sporty compact.
“Now where was I ?”
“You we’re talking about co-dependency .”
“No, I know that I meant what street ? Ah never mind I know where I am .Thank god for map quest !
( Rayne props her hand up on the car window ledge shielding her eyes from the sunlight ) So yes I found my famous set of balls Eddie loves to talk about . I found it within myself to leave a relationship that pretty much went as far as it would go. I found strength to once again be on my own . Sure it hurt like hell and it broke my heart , but it had to be done and I’ll suffer the emotional scars from it.”
“How do you feel about all the stuff he’s been saying about you?”
“Well at first it did hurt and anger me. When you think about it we were together for almost a year and the way he reacts is childish and immature. Which did lead to me retaliating in the same way , but i didn't mud sling as much as he did . He leaned upon his cronies and just had fun bashing the hell out of me .
In the end I just learned that I had to laugh at it all. He got pretty damn ridiculous and I just had to rise above it all . I mean sure I could have posted pictures of him like when he did the “Got Balls” ad
(OOC Editor's note: Links to pics no longer work, Eddie's Pic base was David Beckham, so they prob. were Beckham undie pics)
Or the Eddie Shots , Eddie Swallows poster that was specially made for me by my friends down at Posters Inc.
Hell I could even show his High School pic. But did I ? No and that's cause I have more damn class than he could ever hope to have or achieve to have by hanging out with the legends he runs to every time something happens to him or he has a nice lil bout of self doubt.
Rayne pulls into the parking lot of the hotel and grabs her gear out of the trunk. She checks in and rides the elevator up to her room .
“Well nothing much thrilling here , just a tired girl from NYC in desperate need of a shower and some food. Unless you think the fans really want to see me unpack “
“Ok Rayne what say we meet in a hour or two and pick up from there .”
“Sounds fine .”
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The cameras are rolling again and this time we find ourselves blessed with a interior shot of the American West Arena . From the birds eye view from the third tier of stadium seating we can see Rayne walking around the floor pacing the area where the ring is being constructed . She has her long red hair in a pony tail pulled through her baseball cap and she has a Diamondback jersey on and a pair of black shorts .
She gets some good humored teasing from the ring crew and it seems to brighten her day.
“You see not every one is falling for that crap Eddie says about me , I just got some invites to dinner and then some. Sometimes its hard being a woman in this sport and being viewed as a potential piece of ass . There’s more of a push to make people take you seriously and you find yourself making goals that you just have to keep.
With each belt I won , I earned more respect . So it kind of upsets me to see my name being slandered . But then again I’m not the one who decided that “Hey forget pussy I want me some dick and I want it now! By the way fans I’m gay “ Must be all the Izzard and Graham Norton they play over there.
Anyway I’ve gotten a quick lesson on Phoenix and her interesting spots and after this I think I’m going to go play a game baseball with the guys over at the Bank One Ballpark. Seems the only hot thing in town right now besides me is the action the ESW will be bringing with it .
I mean come on the American West headliners after we leave are Van Halen , Phil Collins and Alan Jackson ....can we say Snoozeapalooza? But then Phoenix I guess you do make up for it with your sports and the Diamondbacks, Suns, Coyotes and Cardinals.
That’s why in a few days you’ll embrace the power and the glory we’ll be bringing with our PPV . Joe and I will step into the ring with none other than that British Bastard Edward. Now personally I feel sorry for him and still love him . Professionally however I feel that he’s annoying little gnat that needs to be squished and have his guts smeared all over the ring.
I’m pretty sure Joe will show no mercy and I can’t blame him . Maybe we should invite Catriona here so she can get some shots in . Hell I think we can fly her here in time for the festivities.
Violent Desires indeed , I know I have a few of my own . Some are fueled by bitterness , some by anger , some by revenge, and these desires call out for blood and retribution .
Who am I to let down my desires and my fans? I’m pretty sure everyone wants to see Edward get his ass handed to him . So I should thank Doc for listening to my suggestion , and Raven for getting that asshole Caligula out of my way .I tip my hat to you guys.
Now the fun can begin.” Rayne says with a sneer
“Well I think we have enough from here Rayne . Next filming will be when you get ready for your match at the Arena that night. And a interview after .”
“Good now I can go see some of the city and get some B ball in. Cause god knows I‘m not afraid of Eddie and I‘m not going to hit the gym to prepare for him. Maybe I‘ll bench press a powder puff just in case.”
