Santana is sitting on the edge of a practice ring. She’s dressed for a workout, wearing black shoes, crimson shorts, and a black tank top with gold sports bra underneath. Sweat glistens on her arms and face as she is catching her breath after her workout. After a couple deep breaths, she looks to the camera with a broad smile.
Hey! I gotta say, things are getting pretty exciting for me these last few days! First I get signed to LAW with not even two years experience, then I’m told I’m debuting at Thunderstruck? Get the fuck out, sis. I mean, who coulda asked for more? Sure, I’m an All-American Collegiate wrestler, but I know a lot of people don’t follow amateur wrestling, and hey, that’s cool! I don’t watch football, not everything is for everyone, yeah? Anyway, I’m super amped to get my foot in the door here at LAW and show everyone just who Santana Matthews really is!
Santana leans back against the ring ropes.
We’ll get to that, though, before we meet Santana the wrestler, I think we should meet Santana the person. Like a lot of people out there, I came from a broken home, born from an affair, and never really had much of a family life, since my mom, an illegal, had to work two jobs to keep food on our plates and a roof over our heads. I’m not complaining, though, sis, nah, I learned to work for a living, learned to appreciate every opportunity, and that carried me to a high school basketball state championship, and eventually to being named an All-American wrestler my senior year in college.
Santana holds up a cautioning hand.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not trying to brag, I’m just giving you the foundation I built myself on. Context is important, you know. So, y’see, I bring a lot to the table, not because I wanna be handed things, nope, it’s because I know if I want to earn what I am worth I need to prove what I’m worth. That, by the way, is something important to keep in mind with me too, I don’t talk big, I am big. You’re not going to see me running my mouth, or trying to explode the Twitterverse with some snappy catchphrase...my actions will prove my point for me.
She waves dismissively.
Eh, enough about me...Heather, hey, sis, how are ya? Sorry I’ve not had too much a chance to really meet ya yet, I’m still getting settled in, y’know? Anyway, it looks like you and I are gonna face off at Thunderstruck, and I really hope that you’re as excited for this opportunity as I am. I’d be lyin’ if I said I didn’t do a little digging on you, but who can blame me? You only get one first chance, and I’m not gonna waste it.
Her eyebrows scrunch together as she leans forward on the apron.
So, what did I discover? Well, for one, sis, you need to calm down. You wanna spread chaos and violence everywhere you go? You don’t think the world has enough of that already? C’mon sis, tranquilo, y’know? You’ve got plenty enough talent without that bullshit, so let’s just go out there and show everyone what we can do, yeah? I know you’re smaller than me, which means you’re probably faster, but that’s fine, sis. I’ve spent my entire life dealing with smaller women, quicker women, women who think they’ll just tire me out by playing keep away...thing is, a lot of those women found out that once I get my hands on them things don’t really go their way anymore.
Santana holds up a cautioning finger.
That’s all it’s going to take, Heather, just let me get ahold of you one time and you’ll very quickly find out just what I’m capable of. I’m looking forward to meeting you in the ring, sis.
