Promos from Sierra Browne, Daisy Butterfly, Keiko Mita, Marrisa Monet and more.
(The scene is one of Grand Dragon Wrestling Alliance studios located in Tacoma, Washington. Two men are sitting behind a desk. They are wearing a blue blazer with the GDWA logo on the right side. A woman sits between them with a red and brown suit jacket and skirt. The lights start to come up, and "Atomic Dog" by Parliament--the GDWA theme music--begins to play.)
Dunbar: Wrestling fans, I'm Paul Laurence Dunbar with Sam Mutt and Sonya Blade bringing you the Friday Night Tease. Tonight we discuss the World Title situation, the Ironwoman Square Dance Matches at the Fall Moonsault and tomorrow nights card!
Blade: First let me say that it has been a tumultuous summer. With all of the politics and cancelled house shows, it's been a tough one for GDWA fans as well as superstars.
Mutt: Oh Yeah!? Who's had it tougher than Sierra Browne? Did you hear the newest crap from the GDWA?
Dunbar: Sierra had some rather poignant comments for the GDWA's top brass. Fans, hold onto your seats!
Sierra Browne
Sierra: Allison, Denmark, you've disappointed me. This is how you treat your cruiserweight champion? I guess neither of you has enough balls to stand up for your employees, do you? Well, since you won't say it, I will. There's only one reason the Japanese contingent from the Transnational Championship committee is upset. And we all know what the reason is. I'm a little too dark to go wrestle in Japan. There little angelic Keiko Mita got her ass whipped and now they want to go cry foul. Well you know what, my fine Eastern friends, you can hate me all you want, but this belt. This tarnished piece of tin is staying over my shoulder. You don't think I'm a role model? Well, too damn bad. The belt can change hands on a disqualification? Fine. Outside interference grants a rematch? Great. Twenty second count-outs. That's all right with me.
But how many Asian wrestlers do I have to face, huh? Let's see, I whipped Mita's ass. You got really pissed, didn't you? Then I whipped Order's ass and kept her from the title, too. Uh oh, now there's a real problem, isn't there. I didn't see any of this crap go on with any other title in the GDWA, except the Misfits tag-team reign. Why, I do declare. Aren't they Black women, too? Why didn't Radhi Ananda ever lose the strap? She got herself disqualified all the time. I guess she wasn't black enough to earn the stigma. You want to sanction me. Go ahead. But I promise you right now that I am going to be the worst example of a champion you ever saw. The absolute worst. You may have to strip this belt from me because if you think anybody's getting a free ride or easy negotiations now? You're wrong. You try to take away all my power? You'll see exactly what happens. You'll see. You can't keep this sister down and you can't keep her in check.
Sierra: This belt was always something I honored. This belt was something I worked so hard for. And in one little press conference, Denmark, Alli, you ruined every last piece of love I had for it. You ruined every last bit of joy I took in winning it. And for not having the balls to defend me. For not having the courage, the intestinal fortitude you have earned something new for this belt. Disgrace.
Sierra: You pushed the wrong woman now. I tell you that.
Vessey: Sierra Browne disgracing that title belt...I never thought I'd see the day.
Mutt: Hell, you can't keep pissin' on top of somebody's head and call it rain for too long. She got wise to the powers that be!!
Blade: But why the race card? I think it is rather cowardly of Sierra to employ it.
Mutt: Cowardly? It's courageous of her to stand up for what is right! Everyone knows that this fed and that fed have tried to keep her down... and now we know why.
Blade: That's rather debatable Sam.
Dunbar: Fans, the Cruiserweight title is the stuff of controversy as of late. And speaking of contraversial, let's hear from our INTERNET Heavyweight Champion 'Legend' Micki Duran...
Micki Duran
(Camera comes up on Micki Duran, lying out in the sun. She is wearing a splendid white bikini and black Raybans. The Internet title is lying on a table beside her. She raises her head up and looks at the camera, then props herself up on one elbow.)
You guys never quit, do you? Cameras everywhere I go...well, this week it's me and Daisy. I can't wait. Finally I get to wrestle someone worth my time. Daisy, I hope you're training hard, because I'm going to do things to you your momma never told you about.
(She flips her hair.)
It seems I still don't have a date for the Moonsault. (She sighs.) Hopefully Daisy can come forward and get some. If not, I might be stuck defending against the Rekka Sakuras of the world. But I'd hate to do that, because then I'd be like some other sorry ex-champion we know, defending against a chump (She coughs 'Nomad.')
Now I'd like to address something else. I'm getting pretty tired of everyone always comparing me to Andrea Chandler. Andrea knows I'd kick her sorry ass any day of the week. She can't lace my boots. Maybe I'll just have to whoop her like she was my stepchild once for all of you to see, and then you'd shut up.
(She smiles.)
Now wouldn't we all like that?
(She cackles as the camera fades to black.)
Dunbar: Duran with an all too uncommon smile. She's been rather uptight as of late. Now she faces Daisy Butterfly who had a classic match with the Legend at Fall Moonsault.
Mutt: HELL! Daisy Butterfly is gonna find out why Duran has held on to that belt for so long. And since Daisy never got to see 'the End', I'm sure the Legend will be glad to introduce her to it.
Blade: It'll be another classic, and one must suspect Sierra Browne will be watching that one closely.
Mutt: Sierra Browne will be watching Officer Order closely. Browne should be World Champ right now!
Dunbar: The WESTERN HERITAGE CHAMPION and Cruiserweight Champion has a match against Savannah Charles tomorrow night in a non-title bout. It shall be a battle of North vs. South. And in Browne's highly agitated, racialized mind set, Charles better be on her stuff.
Mutt: The rookie doesn't have a chance. She better stay at her day job at Hooters!
Dunbar: Speaking of Sierra Browne, a friend of hers has a few comments for Micki Duran. Let's hear from Bloody Mary....
Bloody Mary
(Scene is Bloody Mary in hospital gown , going through a cat scan, blood tests, other medical tests, consulting with Doctor, we can’t hear what’s said but Mary nods serious expression but seemingly relieved at what Dr. is telling her. Scene fades & reopens with Mary lounging beside pool in sunglasses & blue bikini. She sips a drink, takes off glasses, sits up on chaise lounge & addresses the camera smiling)
Bloody Mary: Hi everyone! I suppose you saw the tape of me in the hospital, & I guess by now you see I’m still on the mend. Ahhhhh, convalescence isn’t as bad as I thought it would be. I should have heeded warnings before I took on Micki Duran. I could get used to this. Now don’t get me wrong I’ve been training although on a lighter schedule. I have managed to trim down to 145 lbs. without losing any muscle tone.
(She stands posing & sits back down)
I’m feeling much better now, still a little dizzy, some headaches but I’ll be 100 per cent by Fall Moonsault. I’ve gotta say, remembering hearing the fans cheer in my match with Micki makes me feel good as well as all the get well wishes from fans, fellow wrestlers. It’s been good medicine. Now don’t think you’re going to see a softer Mary, I just appreciate the goodwill shown. As a matter of fact if anything, I’ve been quietly contemplating my last few matches & my upcoming challenge. First, Micki, you won fair & square. It was a rough match. I expected that. But I should have heeded the medical warnings. I wrestled at less than 50 percent. (Speaking softer as if telling a secret) Now Micki, I’d be just a tad worried. I almost beat you & I was less than half myself. It was a real rush having the fans behind me. I’m not through with you yet, Micki. I wouldn’t be in your boots for anything right now or ever! You’ve po’d a lot of people for even giving me a match & now I’m ready for you again & I’ll make sure I’m 100 per cent & more next time. I know where you hurt because I hurt you. And I even have the fans behind me.... Ha! Imagine that! Me, Bloody Mary a FAN FAVORITE!!! GAWD, how they must hate you, Micki.
Anytime, anywhere, I’ll be ready! (She relaxes a moment in deep thought then talks)
Bloody Mary: Micki’s in the future, though. I have other business at hand & I’m not doing any other matches till then. Of course I’m talking of the Fall Moonsault. I really REALLY wanted another title shot but here comes this challenge from my good old friend, Keiko Mita! And what a challenge....a hair vs. hair match....HAHAHAHAHHAHA!!!!! Ohhhhh, Keiko, Keiko! Was that the best you could come up with??
If you haven’t already noticed I’m not the most vain or fashion conscious person in the GDWA. I’d almost welcome losing this rag mop but that would mean losing to you. If I ever change my hair style that drastic I’ll be the boss of that decision. But...hold on?! This ISN’T about vanity.... nooooooo!!!! IT’S about honor & your being a good Samurai soldier or Ninja or whatever. But you know if you were really so up on this honor thing, according to what I’ve read about them, shouldn’t you have committed hari-kari after losing & being shamed sooo many times?? HUH?? (Pause) You’ve been a thorn in my side for so long. First of all you join up with those vigilantes The Dragon Trio,
