Welcome to Gaia! ::

Make Me Move hits the PA as red and purple lights flash. The fans cheer as Janelle dashes out onto the stage and heads for the ring.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Janelle Damone!"

Janelle slides into the ring and rises up to a kneel, then stands and walks to the other side of the ring, taking a mic from the official as her music dies out.

"Here we are, just before EEW's biggest show of the year. And as I sat in the back, after conversing with my brothers about some changes that are being made, I realized that they weren't the only ones who need to change."

the crowd is silent, clearly confused.

"You see, I've had a strategy that worked for over a decade now, but in the past year, something seems off. And there's this little issue in the back of my mind here in EEW in that I've never been the Women's champion, despite having faced every previous champion at least once. Sure, I've been the Estremo champion, but the Women's championship here has eluded me. This is one of the few companies I've been in that I haven't won it. And it's time for that to change."

the crowd begins to understand.

"But in order for that to happen, everything must change. And ONS seems to be the perfect place to begin this change. A change in attitude, a change in music, a change in direction. All I need is...."

(interuptions welcome)

The arena grew dark, as a red spot light appeared on the stage as Crash by Fit for Rivals began to play.




"This woman has done more for this business than you will ever do in your entire career. I suggest you show her some respect. The only person who's done more than her, is me."

Yuke said as her eyes narrowed at the newcomer.

"For those who don't know.. My husband ran this company, he owned it. While he owned it, EEW was at its peak. The best it ever was, and ever since he left its like this place has become a cesspool of filth where rookies don't respect legends, and legends who are past their prime are getting shots at titles. Janelle and I pioneered the women's division, in fact before this whole reboot era began I was the LAST Women's champion, the Last X-treme champion.

The way that I see it kid, is this ring isn't yours until you spilled a drop of blood in this ring, until you've gone to the edge and back. Until you've done something significant, because I honestly don't know who the ******** you are. But all of them and her?"

Yuke said pointing to the crowd then at Janelle,
"They know who I am.. She knows who I am.. I am the best women's wrestler in the history of gaia. Past, present and future... Wanna know why? Because I am Eleven time world champion. You might be wondering what's the big deal? Three of those titles are MALE world championships.
So why am I out here when she knows, they know that I'm better than her?"

Yuke asked with a smirk as the crowd roared, as she walked right up to Jason.

"To save her screen time from idiots like you.. You see Jimmy, you the women here have an unwritten code, and that code well it goes something like this.."

Yuke said as she attempted to kick Jason in the nads.

Yuke turned around and attempted a roundhouse kick to the side of the head of Jason.

If successful, she'd take the mic once more, and say
"The grown-ups are talking, lay there and shut the hell up.."

Janelle watches the exchange and can't help but chuckle at the actions of Yuke.

"Ah, and the b***h is back. To what do I owe this particular pleasure Yuke?"

Janelle shrugs. "I hear there's a women's champion around here, but I haven't seen her since she won it. So that does leave just me and you. Then again, that seems to happen a lot over hte years. And yet, we've never really settled the score. Neither of us has a win over the other in any promotion we've been in. It does seem to be a bit of a shame doesn't it?"

Janelle looks at Jason.

"He doesn't concern or interest me. You and I both get the newcomers coming at us trying to make a name for themselves. and he's just the newest idiot. But you, on the other hand, interest me." she pauses. "Not in that Damita type of way either. There's very little for me to do, but on the remaining checklist, kicking your teeth down your throat seems to be rather high. And if you're not busy at One Night Stand, and currently I'm not busy, I see no reason not to finally get that one on one match in."

"That's quite simple, Yuke. I'm the only woman currently in the industry that you haven't beaten. There's no denying your ability and your legacy, but the most dominant woman has to beat everyone, right? Well you're looking at the one you haven't."

Janelle gives a smirk.

"Besides that, why not stick it to the men in this promotion one more time by outshining them on EEW's biggest stage? You know full well the two of us could easily steal the show. You were the last women's champion before the company revamping. I, on the other hand, was the last Estremo champion. The company revamp more or less screwed us both. And besides that, it has to mildly irritate you that in our last intended one on one encounter, an interloper just had to stick his nose in and blindside me, so we never got to it."

Janelle looks Yuke directly in the eyes.

"In other words, you've done it all here, except beat me. And I'll even up the anty. If you face me, I'll put my career on the line. You win, I retire for good. And I know you'd hate to pass up the chance to end a career."

"As i recall, I didn't proclaim anything unfair. I merely made my presence felt. I had already begun pioneering the women's division before you arrived in EEW. Some of those names you've beaten, I'd been there and done that before anyone on Gaia new the name Yuke. I remember meeting BJ Dragon and Mystique for Women's championships anywhere from PAW to WWCW. But what bothers me is your implication that I'm in my brother's shadow."

Janelle pauses

"I find it impossible to be in any of my brother's shadows. i've had a decorated career. I made history before you. I was among the first on gaia to compete against the men, and among the first to beat them for male titles. Admittedly, you've gone a step further by winning world titles, but the simple fact is, my career has been my own. My name is my own. In case you don't remember, there was a long period of time where i used only my first name, where I had no connection to the Damone brothers. You can say what you want, but you can't downplay my accomplishments on my own."

Janelle now realizes she has to switch topics.

"Now you have a point. My family knows all too well about the issues with management here in EEW. We were the first to have issues. I've watched those in EEW lose out on things they deserve. I'm among them. I came back here to more or less ride the waves, forge my path, and hope for the best. As we stand here in the ring, I'm forced to admit that the women's division is dead here. I want that title simply because I never had it, but to be honest, I'm not sure how much it will mean in the long run. With no one to defend it against, what's the point? And that brings me to your last point. ONS is not the time, and EEW is not the place."

Janelle smirks.

"Well I know the time, and I know the place, and if that's what you want, I'll play your game. But there's an old saying, Be careful what you wish for. I'm coming to your turf, Yuke, and I want you to watch closely. Study me all you want. Because one day, you and I will face off one on one. And there won't be any outside interference, no issues with management, no brothers or husbands involved. And no Damita either. Just Janelle and Yuke in our type of environment. Until then, guess I'll see you around."

Janelle drops the mic and exits the ring, heading up the ramp
