April Song is marching back to the locker room after a successful warm-up match at a recent LAW live event and even though she was victorious, she is NOT in a good mood. A scowl has replaced her normally relaxed and somewhat smug facial expressions, the Lethal Specialists Championship tightly in her grip as she meets a few reporters.]
April: You think I’m going to just let what happened just stand? You think that I’m not going to be eager to seek revenge for the bullshit that happened in my match with Miranda? She didn’t beat me fairly, but now she wants a title shot? And people feel that she’s obligated to have it, huh? Well, I don’t care what she feels obligated to have. Entitlement is running amok around here anyway. I’ve been hearing a lot of grumbling and complaining lately, a lot of whining and crying about “Waah, I want this opportunity, I want that opportunity!” Nobody gives anyone anything in the wrestling world. It’s pure meritocracy. Miranda thinks she’s earned her title match? Cool. All she has to do is ask. I never intended for this to collect dust. But she should know next time that I’m not going to look for the SPARK-Ling combination. If I have her in the sleeperhold...I’m just going to put her to sleep.
Reporter: Are you concerned about your tournament semifinal with Revy? I mean, if you do win you could potentially have two championship matches at Lethal Hearts. Has this crossed your mind?
April: Uh, yeah, it’s crossed my mind. A lot. It’s exactly what I want. I told you all as soon as I won this belt that I would be coming for the other title. I want to be THE Woman around here, and no that’s not some ironic Twitter thing or a shoutout to anyone else. I came here with the intention of becoming LAW’s top champion and the only way to do that is to hold the LAW Championship. And if I have to have two matches in one night? So fucking be it. After being in the ring with Miranda I can’t say that I’m particularly scared of anything she does. Don’t get me wrong, she’s not bad by any stretch...but she’s not April Song. She won because I got just a little bit sloppy and the referee officiating got even sloppier. Lightning will not strike twice. As for Revy, yeah, we have a little bit of history. I’m knowing full well what I’m going against. I do know, however, that she can be beaten. She wants to take shortcuts to advance in the tournament? That’s cool. I can too if I want to. I don’t LIKE to, but if people keep on getting wins against me with dumb luck and bullshit tactics, I may have to let out some of the April Song that I didn’t want to bring here. You see me, right? Decent enough looking woman, not a pain in the ass to anybody, yeah?
Reporter: Yes…
April: You know there was a time I would have beaten the shit out of someone who asked me questions like your asking now? I have to keep that part of me turned down, to mellow out. Revy seems to be getting a little bit worse. She did all this crap to get into LAW to begin with and now she thinks she’s going to come here and take away the spot in the Lethal Ladder Match that I’ve worked so hard to get? Do you realize how long I just crawled around on the undercard, LOWERING myself, just waiting to seize this very opportunity I have in front of me now? Revy’s a damn good wrestler and if the matches I’ve seen of her since she came here she’s savvy. I’ve felt that Recoil of hers and it’s not a pleasant feeling. You want to know what’s going to be even less pleasant as far as she’s concerned? Feeling me choke her out with one of my submission holds. I have a lot of obligations to people. To LAW. But the obligation I hold above all of them is the one I have to uphold to myself. I got cheated last week, but that doesn’t make up for me wrestling like crap. Winning matches like this here don’t make up for me wrestling like crap. The only things that will make up for poor showings are defending gold that I already have (emphatically slaps her title belt with her free hand) and claiming new gold. I will, as the kids say, “speak it into existence”: BEFORE 2019 IS OVER, I WILL HOLD THE LAW CHAMPIONSHIP.
And I’m going to hold this championship as well. Hell, I may go find a tag partner and win the tag belts too. I didn’t come here to just be a part of the show and put on quality matches week after week, I came here to be THE Show. And little Revy is going to find out a lot of shit has changed in the last year or so and she will tap the fuck out.
That’s all.
