Words from Andrea Chandler, Ma Porter, Medusa Rage, Daisy Butterfly 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 Allen Bishop and Sonya Blade bringing you the Friday Night Tease. Happy Valentine’s Day on the eve of a less than hospitable card.
Blade: That's right fans. The Age of Rage has begun...The Browne Girls, Medusa Rage, and THE WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS the Misfits will all be on the card this week.
Bishop: Tonight, we start off as always with the World Heavyweight Championship situation! We've got Medusa Rage challenging Andrea Chandler tomorrow, and things are starting to heat up.
Dunbar: The war has begun! A battle long and coming...let's hear words from the Heavyweight Champion of the World, Andrea Chandler....
ANDREA CHANDLER
(Andrea Chandler is lying at poolside, her bronzed skin oiled and glistening, wearing a pink bikini that leaves little of her hard, curvy body to the imagination. The midday sun highlights the contours of her physique with a soft radiance. Noticing the camera, she rolls onto her side, propping her head up on a hand. Beside her lies the World Heavyweight Championship belt.)
Why, hello, there, I've been waiting. Some of you have been asking me to comment on the situation regarding Medusa Rage, and the remarks she's made about me recently. (Sighs.) Well, I must admit that if sheer noise were sufficient to make one champion, she'd've captured the belt LONG ago. Medusa's always been prone to saying exactly what's on her mind, whether founded or otherwise. First, she insists that she's the (bellows Medusa-style) QUEEN BITCH OF GRAND DRAGON, in a pathetic attempt at one-upsmanship. (Giggles) Like I care. Being the Rich Bitch didn't make me the champion of the world, 'dusa. Being the BEST did. So play with words all you like, it's WINNING that people remember.
Second, you like making frequent reference to the match we had before, and to the encounter I had with Sierra Browne, which are the only blemishes on my otherwise perfect record. You insist that you're the only one who knows how to beat me. Well, in the former case, I can't deny that we had a delightful contest, but...you didn't defeat me. You COULDN'T defeat me. And bear in mind that I'm FAR better now than I was then. As for the latter match...let's just say that I'm by no means surprised at how easily you accept as legitimate a win gained through the chicanery of your clan. After all, YOU certainly don't leave home without them. Had someone told me I'd be wrestling a handicap match, I'd've planned a trifle differently. In any event, the only thing you've established is that you will do anything and everything necessary to claim victory--everything, that is, except abide by the rules. When you prove capable of that, I--and others-- MIGHT respect you.
Personally, I think the "Age of Rage" could be cured if you'd all just take a laxative, but far be it from me to intrude on your delusions of importance. Because no matter how much you rant, or how many tainted victories you claim, you'll always be just another bourgeois little bug on my path to glory, to be crushed and flushed. So let me see if I can adequately describe the differences between me and you...(she points at herself)...stylish...(she points at the camera)...childish...(she points at herself)...glamorous...(she points at the camera)...clueless...(she points at herself)... beautiful...(she points at the camera)...beastly...(she points at herself)...continental...(she points at the camera)...incontinent... (She points at herself)...champ... (She points at the camera, and laughs)...CHUMP!
(Andrea exhales, grinning.)
So it's once more unto the breach, dear friend. And this time, 'dusa...let's just say that what comes around, goes around. You've been dishing it out lately. Now it's time to take it.
(She smiles, running her free hand sensuously along her body.)
And to all my fans in Grand Dragon...have a VERY happy Valentine’s Day. Ta-ta! (Blows a kiss, and the scene fades....)
Bishop: Wow! Sonya, did you hear that? Andrea is READY for Medusa.
Blade: I know she is...and so is Medusa. This should be a slugfest between these two. I hope we get a QUALITY match though...
Dunbar: What do you mean?
Blade: Both women have it out for each other. They are playing for keeps, and that could be dangerous...these could be the beginnings of a nasty feud.
Dunbar: In a moment we will turn our attention to Founder's Day Tradition. For now, let's hear from the challenger to Andrea Chandler’s World Title! The Matriarch of the Rage family...Medusa Rage!
MEDUSA RAGE
Medusa: Andrea. Andrea, do you know how many sleepless nights I've had just imagining what it would be like to be the World champion of the GDWA? I don't know if you can appreciate that. It's been such a dream for so long that now that my chance is here I can taste it.
Medusa: My sweet Serpentine has been the one to guide me, you know. She's been the one to show me the way. People say I've changed. They say that I've gone way over the top. They don't understand that there is no top for me. I've got my army, I've got my friends, I've got my family. I've got the Serpentine, ssssweet Sssserpentine. She guides me. She understands. Andrea, you'll never understand me. You can't. You call yourself the Rich Bitch, born with a silver spoon in your mouth. Serpentine tells me not to be so crude anymore. Not to be so rough. Sssssmooth. Ha hahahaha. Snakes, they're so simple. Serpentine hunts so easily. Drop on your prey and crush them. Andrea, maybe that's what I'll do to you. Maybe, just maybe you'll feel the Serpentine's crush. It's very interesting. It's very interesting indeed.
Medusa: They say all I care about is hurting people now. You should think about that Andrea. They say that I'm not in my right mind any more. They say I've become a killer. I say I've found myself.
Medusa: I say I've been liberated. Andrea, meet the serpent of the GDWA this Saturday. You'll be surprised at what you see. I'm not the same woman that you met before. And I promise you I won't be the same woman when I leave the RING. This Saturday I will be the GDWA Heavyweight Champion of the World -- even if it kills you.
Bishop: Those matches against Dementia Praecox perhaps have really affected her. She seems...spooky.
Dunbar: Those are some of the most profound statements I've ever heard. Medusa Rage is SERIOUS!
Blade: There's going to be a great conflict. You just may want to stay home and watch that one on TV.
Dunbar: Fans, the World Title situation gets even more complicated. Earlier this week, Denmark Vessey e-mailed a memo to both Medusa Rage and Andrea Chandler...Tonya Angelo has made it known that Ma Porter has challenged for the World Title at %%%FOUNDER'S DAY TRADITION%%% Here is a copy of that e-mail sent to us from GDWA President, Denmark Vessey....
Date: Wed, 12 Feb 1997 17:08:07 -0500 (EST) From: Vessey <prez@gdwa.com>

Subject: Founder's Day Champion
Andrea and Medusa,
One of you will be the HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WORLD after Saturday Night. The GDWA Championship committee has been petitioned by Tony Angelo, manager of Ma Porter, for a World Title shot at %%%FOUNDER'S DAY TRADITION%%%
A loooooooooooooooooooong time ago, Ma Porter earned a title shot at the championship by defeating Officer Order at the Summer Supercard pay per view. Because her ally was the champion at that time, she decided to postpone that shot.
You will receive a flash on the FRIDAY NIGHT TEASE on behalf of Ma Porter, Tony Angelo and Organized Crime regarding this point. The challenge has been made, and despite her ranking in the Top 10, not the Big 5th, she has found a loop hole in the rules.
The only other challenger, I'd assume, would be Andrea Chandler were she to lose the title, and Medusa Rage who's challenge is still on record.
Thank you for your time, and on behalf of the GDWA Championship Committee, good luck to both of you combatants.
Denmark Vessey,
GDWA President
Blade: This is serious. Leave it to Tony Angelo to find a loop hole in the rules.
Bishop: Well, the question isn't whether she's qualified to challenge anymore. The question is, will either Andrea or Medusa accept the challenge. And what happens to the loser of the World Title bout on Saturday? I'm sure they'll want a return match at Founder’s Day Tradition!
Dunbar: Fans, let's hear from Big Ma Porter and Tony Angelo....
MA PORTER
<fade in on interior shout of smoky club, with neon "Organized Crime" sign above some empty pool tables. Ma Porter and Tony Angelo are seated at opposite ends of a rectangular table. Tony is dressed in an expensive looking Armani suit and talking on a cell phone. Ma is picking her fingernails with a table knife>
Tony: (still on phone) ...great, I'm glad to hear you’re with us on this. We'll work out some details later. (Folds phone and puts it in inside pocket). Ahh, the GDWA camera crew! Have a drink boys! (Tony offers bottle to the camera, nobody takes it) Well, suit yourself. (He pours himself a drink) I'm
