Post by Morgan Russo on Jan 3, 2016 21:44:23 GMT
An empty bottle of Jack Daniels is the first thing we see. A gloved hand comes over and swipes it away it falls off of the table and falls to the floor with a loud crash. There is a moan and then a head starts to move up and looks at the camera. The black hair is a little bit of a mess and the eyes are sunken in. Showing off a long night, or maybe a long year. The person sighs and she starts to speak.
As some of you might now know my name is Morgan Russo and I have a little bit of a problem.
She points down to the bottle that is on the floor and she shakes her head.
Anyway, I have just signed a contract to become a wrestler at Redefine and I have just gotten a call that my debut match happens this week.
She shrugs her shoulders as she sighs and gets up from the chair she stumbles a little bit as she starts to walk.
I'm facing two people in Issac Solo and Kara Arewn Star. Now as I look at it I'm already at a disadvantage and well it is something that I'm going to have to work on. Issac and Kara have been in wrestling for sometime now and I'm just starting out. I have the bruises to prove it but you know what with every bruise that I get I learn. With ever bruise I get it makes me stronger with every bruise I get I start to get better and I just am assuming that I will get some out of this match.
As I look at Issac I see a man that is big and I see a man that has held a title before and I see a man that will throw me around like a rag doll. But maybe I should let Issac in on a little secret I like to be thrown around a little bit.
She winks and laughs as she stops the walking around had made her a little bit more dizzy then she assumed it would.
But Issac seems a little quiet where on the contrary Kara seems to be a little bit loud. She seems maybe a little confident and a little cocky as well. That is what will hurt her in this match from the little bit of interaction I had with her on twitter she seems like she might be overlooking me. Talking about how no matter who is in in this match she will beat them. Well fine but the problem is she is facing someone new someone she has no tape on someone that will stop at nothing to win and stopping at nothing at breaking her face. Now I get it she was in the military and got kicked out for something bad maybe that makes her feel good and maybe it makes her stronger but it doesn't scare me. Nothing does.

Do you know what the Star Effect is?
Let me teach you Redefine.
My name is Kara Arwen. I have bveen signed by Redefine at a time where the landscape is changing. Good thing as well, becau8se this match has many implications for the people involved.
Take Mister Solo for example. Quiet but experienced. He is the smarter of my two opponents. Better to not speak, show actions. I like that in an opponent, gives me a chance t otest my skill and see where I rank in my ability. Mister Solo will be a great example of the Star Effect. A great example of what it is abou8t which is simple really. Win at any cost.
Then, Miss Russo....
She says she has a problem and I can tell her exactly what it is. Not knowing I am a rookie myself. Not knowing that I was trained by a legend known in Redefine. Her head is in that bottle pretty damned deep. She also has no idea of the difference between confidence and cocky. Cocky is simply stating you wil lwin and nothing else matters. Confidence is knowing there is a chance that you8 might lose, which I know. I know that my odds of winning decresed the second the booze head entered the match. Do I have enough confidence to know that I will win?
Yes.
It's called edu8cating yourself to the simple fact that being quiet and drunk will not help our chances of winning. You all will find out that the Star Effect ripples. It will ripple with neither of you having a career by the time I am done with you two. Call it what you will.
Confident.
Cocky.
I just call it what I know. The Star Effect. See you both at the show. Get ready to feel the Effect.

Morgan Russo is sitting on the edge of the bed in her bedroom. Her head is in her hands she takes a deep breath and again it seems like she had a long night. She shakes her head and leans back on th bed and takes a deep breath.
I guess Kara is right I am a booze head.
She sighs and closes her eyes.
Maybe I missed the mark when I forgot that she just like me was a rookie that I called her both cocky and confident maybe I was wrong or maybe she is just talking out of her ass.
She giggles a little bit and closes her eyes.
Kara, is someone that I already want to silence in this company. She has come at me on twitter and all of you have seen it saying that if I am not in the right shape of mind she will want this match to be called off. It is funny because I know that I will be fine when I get into that ring for this match. It seems to me that she is just scared that someone like me might be able to beat her. Then if she loses to me what will her frame of mind be? Listen to her talk about the Star Effect! Listen to her try and build herself up to be one of the best wrestlers in this company right now even though she hasn't had a match. Its funny that she sees herself like that and if she falls what will she do? What will the Star Effect look like after that?
She sits up in bed and takes another deep breath as she looks deep into the camera.
Now maybe like I said I am a booze head and all of that. Maybe I do have a problem and I know I do. Trying to fix it is hard and maybe that is why I have come into wrestling to see if that will end my feeling of needing to drink all the time. I've been to shrinks and I've been told that it is within me to make the the change. The shrinks and the meetings didn't work. I hated looking at other booze hounds like me trying to tell me how they are going to beat it. I hated talking about my problems I hated the fake relationships that came out of those classes. This is my chance to end what is wrong with me and if it doesn't work maybe I will find something else.
But Issac Solo and to a much larger extent Kara Arwen Star are going to see someone that is changing her life. Issac can sit there and not say anything and Kara can come out and claim about how much of a star she is. I'll just sit here and be myself. Like it or not this is me. Morgan Russo is real and she has her struggles but she will rise.

"Y'all sure do like to talk a lot."
[Fade up. Driving his car (a 2007 Subaru Legacy, since you ask. Nothing TOO fancy) is REDEFINE Pro debutant Issac Solo. It's sunny out, in Long Beach CA. Issac wears a gray T-shirt and sunglasses, as far as we can see. He's not looking directly into the camera, cuz, you know... traffic.]
"Which, y'know. Hey. Maybe that's just y'all's styles. You like to talk. In promos, on social media. Whatevs.
"I just know, that ain't how *I* handle business."
[Issac takes a breath, a sip of water from a plastic bottle...]
"Me, I like to settle stuff in the ring. It's kinda what I do. I'm a wrestler. Not anything else. This is what I do, not what I do in my spare time. And I been doing it a fair bit. Mostly up and down the Left Coast. Ask people in San Diego, in Vegas, in Seattle, and ESPECIALLY in Portland. Matter of fact, that's where I just came from. Back home in the LBC, from PDX. Because I do what *I* gotta do...
"Morgan, first off, what you do with the bottle is yo' business. But don't let it come between you an' the ring. That's where I got issues. You either come to wrestle, or you don't come at all, that's kinda how I see it. You know you're a rookie. You know you're gonna fail. GOOD. Know that you WILL lose. It WILL happen. You ain't gonna go undefeated. Yeah, OK, *I* did in (r)Evolution. But it wasn't so easy elsewhere, lemme tellya. At the same damn time at that.
"Kara, you can talk about Star Effects all you damn want. But right now, that's all that is. TALK. I don't see anythin' from you yet, ringwise. That's all I give a damn about. Anyone can get a dishonorable discharge, that ain't nothin' special. But can you handle someone who HAS BEEN dedicated to this craft?
"Far as I'm concerned... our mutual debut in REDEFINE, is gonna be class in session. An' yeah, I might learn a few things myself. But I'm gonna be doin' the teachin'. Cuz I may be new to REDEFINE, but I ain't new to this sport. An' the first lesson you all gonna learn...
"Is that I. Will. Come. CORRECT."
[Issac pushes the camera away, as he continues to drive... and FADES...]

Morgan Russo walks out of the bathroom her hair was a mess and she shot a little bit of a smile to the camera as she slowly walked past it. She adjusts the bottom of her shirt a little bit as she slicks her hair back and some water comes out of it seemingly showing that she just got out of the shower. She walked to the desk that was in the corner of her bedroom and scooted the computer chair out at it and sat down. She put her hands together and started to speak.
No shit Issac!
No one stays undefeated ask the New England Patriots when the played the New York Giants in that Super Bowl. Walking around at 18-0 and thinking that they would waltz all over them in that game and they lost. A team like the Giants beat them and ended a huge streak now don’t get it twisted I’m not the New York Giants…
…I’m better!
She laughs and winks. She leans back in the computer chair and puts her hands behind her head.
Issac, you finally spoke but what did you really say?
To me all I heard was the same old same old that I have been getting for ages and well something that Kara said. You both hit on the fact that I have a problem with booze. Is that supposed to shock me that you talk about it? Is it supposed to hit home with me? You see Issac it doesn’t bother me when you two talk about it because well I have already stated that I had a problem with it. I have already stated that I’m trying to fix it and it is harder than it seems. The problem I have with it though and this from the both of you is that you think it is going to affect what I do in that ring. You both couldn’t be more wrong.
Of course I look at a bottle and I want to drink the hell out of it to get away from what is bothering me the fact is though that I don’t owe anyone answers. I can drink for whatever reason I want and I can keep that reason close to my heart and mind. When it comes to that ring though I will be strong willed and I will not drink before the match now granted it might not seem like that. It might seem like I will drink but Issac I won’t. All I am focused on is beating the both of you.
Issac I’m glad you finally spoke though, it made me realize that you are who I thought you were and that is someone that buys into his own hype. But in all honesty how great is that hype Issac? Is it something to be worried about?
With that she smiles and winks as the scene fades.

"Oh... I am SO sorry."
[Lockerroom, post workout. Issac Solo sits on a bench, drenched in sweat, yet with that ubiquitous white towel around his neck.]
"See, I thought that your whole shtick, was that you were a rookie. How was I to know, that seemingly, you already knew everything there was to know about wrestling, life, the universe, and everything? Sheesh. My bad. I didn't mean to waste your time and all."
[Issac takes the towel, and wipes the sweat from his brow as it's getting into his eyes]
"But hey, since you know everything... or THINK you know... why not take a look an' see what you're getting yourself into here. Because, you seem to think I'm all hype, as you say, well...
"Maybe try, I dunno, Googlin' or somethin'. Look at what Issac Solo is all about. I'll even point you to some. How about... STILL, the Pacific Northwest Champion, in the Western Wrestling Alliance. How about... beat the (r)Evolution Heavyweight Champion to a pulp, literally, on what would be the final weekend of EXODUS/(r)Evolution competition, after bein' unpinned an' unsubmitted my entire run there.
"Maybe ask somebody. There's a couple of people, IN THIS DAMN COMPANY, who know exactly who I am, and what I've done, an' what I CAN do inside of that ring.
"It ain't hype if it's truth, yo."
[Issac takes a sip of water]
"So, y'know. Seeing as you already know it all, I bet you even know what I'm gonna say next. Go on, I'll wait for it."
[Pause]
"Yeah, OK. Close enough. I'll give you that one time, yeah, sure. Yeah, sure. You already know what's up. RIGHT?
"Well. Let me tell you the most important thing in this match. The most important thing, here, in REDEFINE, or anywhere else you come up against me... one thing, ONE... THING... that you better know.
"You better know, how, when, and where to Come Correct. ESPECIALLY when you're up against Issac Solo.
"And if you don't know.... now you know..."
[Issac tosses his towel towards the camera, hitting the lens, draping it, causing a hard FADE...]

[Long Beach Airport, Jet Blue terminal. The sun's just going down in Cali. We see Issac Solo, dressed in a baby blue t-shirt under a brown leather jacket, white jeans, and Ray Bans, typing something on his phone. He looks up at the camera.]
"Yeah, y'know, I ain't ever been to Chicago, once. Matter of fact, for all my trips up and down the West Coast, an' Vegas... Hell, even hit Tijuana a couple of times for gigs. But I ain't never been to the Midwest, an' never been to the Windy City.
"I hear it's kinda chilly there."
[Issac smirks]
"So I guess I'm gonna find out if O'Hare really IS the busiest airport in the world, anh?
"Gonna have my friends take me out a bit too. Why I'm flyin' in a day early. Wanna see the city. See how different it is from LA, from Long Beach, from Portland.
"Oh, did I say friends? Yeah, I got friends in Chicago. I got friends in REDEFINE Pro Wrestling...
"An' Hell no, I ain't gonna say who they are. I'm not that dense."
[Another chuckle to himself]
"Anyway, the REAL point here, is that I'm comin' to REDEFINE to wrestle. What else. 2016, New Year, New Ring. My opponents, just as new to REDEFINE. Kara Arwen Star, thinks she's already made it, somethin' called a... Star Effect? Well, the only effect your star is gonna have is collapsing into a singularity once I go supernova on you, Kara, this Saturday in REDEFINE. Sorry 'bout it. Wait, wait...
"Nah. No I ain't.
"Meanwhile, Morgan Russo... well, you could be somebody. You know where you at, an' you THINK you know the work you gotta put in. Let me tell you. You already THOUGHT you knew what was what when it comes to Issac Solo. But ya don't. Not one bit. An' I'ma give you a wrestling lesson that no teacher will give to you, at least without takin' liberties with you in trainin'.
"All I'm sayin' is, when we ALL debut in that ring this Saturday night, in Chicago... you better ALL be Comin' Correct against me.
"Or frankly, I'll have wasted a trip."
[Issac nods upwards, once, and the camera fades, as the sound of flight announcements can be heard, briefly...]

Morgan Russo has an empty glass next to her and next to the glass is a fifth of Jack. She shakes her head as she looks at the Jack which is about halfway gone or is it halfway full? Either way we can tell that she had been drinking a little bit as when she speaks she slurs a little but you still can understand what she needed to say.
You have wasted my time Issac.
You try the big bad mean crap and hunny it isn’t going to work on me. I really don’t care what you did in other places I don’t care that you were undefeated somewhere because guess what they probably didn’t have the talent that Redefine seems to have right now.
She winks and laughs a little bit.
But wait I’m a rookie so what do I know?
I mean that is what you keep on calling me Issac. Don’t you think I know that? Don’t you think that I know that this is going to be hard that it will not be a walk in the park when I face you and Kara? I’m not that naïve Issac even if you think I am. What I do know though is that I’m not going to make it easy on you either. See you are sitting there talking about how you already have friends here what is that supposed to mean? Are you going to take the easy way out and cheat your way to victory?
A big man needed help to beat two little girls kind of funny when you think about it. Oh but I know what you are going to say next might as well have friends that watch your back just in case things go wrong. Or well I got to do what I got to do to win. See Issac I can tell the future just like you because you know what I’m going to do and say next don’t you?
She pours some Jack into her glass and takes it down quickly she places the glass on the table.
Oops I’m drinking I must not care about wrestling!
You see Issac I thought you were the quiet one but the more I hear you talk the more I want to shut you the hell up. You are becoming the one that I want to stop in this match. Kara talked quickly and then has seemed too gone away so now it is between you and I and well your friends because you can’t fight like a real man.
Now granted I might not know you Issac and how you tick and all of that. But you don’t know me either so sitting there thinking you know me doesn’t work. I just cannot wait to slap you across that big mouth of yours and swell it up so you can’t talk anymore.

Wow. When people make a buzz.
I make one comment and people are hyped. That is exactly what I wanted. There are just a few loose ends I need to clear up and that is that.
We can easily start with Mister Solo. Now let me get one thing clear to you especially. First off, I never claimed to have made it already. If that were the case, then I would easily be main event status. Yet here I am in the opener. So you need to get your facts right. You just don't get your shit handed to you, you earn that spot. And by the way Mister Solo, the Star Effect? It isn't some pedestal I put myself on. It's hard hitting, it's very real and in that ring is where it shines. Best to do more research on someone before spouting off vicious lies Mister Solo.
Which leads me to Morgan.
Morgan, I never said I wanted the match called off. I simply stated a drinker like yo ucna easily put people in danger. But hey, if yo uwant t ocome ot the ring drunk, on you sweet cheeks. If I happen to get injured in my debut then it is a lawsuit for both you and Redefine. If you can stay sober long enough to try and fight me? Good luck in that as well. I am about to be the one to outshine and outclass you in that ring.
So basically folks, my debut is against a shit talker and a boozer. No matter Redefine. I am glad to see that you let these people grace your ring. Call me the cleanup lady, because trash has to go out somewhere. I will be more than happy to clean Redefine of these two pieces of trash.
Call it a favor owed Redefine.

[We're at the observation deck of the Willis Tower... you know, the Sears Tower, only renamed, only nobody ever really calls it that. A great spot for tourists to be at the (formerly) World's Tallest Building. One such tourist is Issac Solo, his first time ever in Chicago. He peers down through the glass, seeing, nearly, the entire city of Chicago in his view]
"Y'know, they say a change of perspective is good sometimes. You've certainly given me a change of perspective about you, Morgan.
"Like, I thought you were just enthusiastic. An over-eager rookie tryna pump yourself up for your debut match, playin' the promo game, show no fear, et cetera. Now, I see you for what you are. "
[Issac moves from the window, and starts walking around the observation deck some more, the camera keeping with him]
"The way you parade your drinkin' problem, it ain't a 'problem' tho is it? It's a GIMMICK. You use it to get sympathy points. 'Look at how she's overcoming her struggles on her way to victory!' You know what, I seen lifelong drunks my whole life. What you're doin' is disgusting. Drop the damn act. Stop lookin' for cheap heat, an' show up in the damn ring.
"Oh yeah, an' that whole 'You need friends to cheat against two little girls, big man?' That's bunk. First off, I ain't NEVER needed a crew to back me up in a match, in ANY place I ever wrestled. Maybe if you, y'know, did yo' research like I'd already advised, you'd know that. Also, I ain't EVER brought gender into this. Some of the best fights I ever had were against women... do Ash Scion or Sasha Foote ring any bells? I don't look down on y'all for bein' women. I don't disrespect you based on yo' genitals, you damn well best not do it to me."
[Issac pauses his walk, looks right in the camera]
"Morgan, I had hopes for you. But really, they ain't gonna pan out. I already see it. You ain't got the commitment to stick this out long term. It's already obvious. Go back to wrestling school, an' then come talk smack to me.
"An' I see you too, Kara. 'Trash?' Ttake a look at YOUR-self, Ms. 'I Proudly Got Dishonorably Discharged.' Because, we all know what you said, Kara. You come in here, not doin' much of anything, anywhere else, talkin' about your 'Star Effect.' Like namin' somethin' yourself makes it so. Guess what. It don't make it so.
"Furthermore, YOU gonna tell ME about not gettin' anythin' handed to me? Child, please. I got the video, I got the witnesses, AN' I got the title belt to back up MY credentials. Let's see about YOU, an' where YOU match up against Issac Solo. That's cool, I'll wait.
"Sadly, that ain't even the worst part about all this, Kara. The biggest crime you've committed?
"You've BORED me. "
[Issac walks away, towards the elevators, as we fade...]

You think this is a gimmick Issac?
Morgan takes a bottle and throws it at the wall.
Don’t sit there thinking you know who I am Issac! Thinking that because I take a few drinks it makes people want to feel sorry for me! You know what Issac I don’t want people to feel sorry for me I don’t need them to feel sorry for me because I feel sorry for myself enough! You see Issac I don’t owe you any answers to why I drink. I know why I do, I know why I need to take the edge off. Issac you don’t know me and you have started to piss e off even more now. Then to question my staying ability in this business just makes me even more pissed off. I brought up your friends having your back because you did. You said you roll with a crew in this company so one would have to think that you might need help. Sorry if I pegged you wrong Issac but it is just the impression I got from you. Oh and I know women can wrestle because that is why we are here and that is why Carmen Cambridge is the TV Champion right now. I never belittled women wrestlers I just belittled you, something you kind of deserved.
Now on to the cleaning lady Kara. You are right I drink and all of that jazz oh well. Like I said it is something that I am living with and I don’t have to give out any answers to you or Issac and I won’t. Now as for the sober comment that you keep on trying to get me with it is simple Kara when I get in that ring I’m fine I let the competition lead me in the right direction I will not drink before this match. I will be fine and I will fight you till the last breath because that is what I do. I will not hurt you because I’m drinking I will just hurt you because you are stepping into the ring with me.
The two of you think that you know me. The problem is though that you both don’t know me. No one knows how I really tick how I really feel. For you two to speak about me the way you do is just leading me to want to take both of you out very quickly. To make you guys suffer the way I have suffered. To be honest I wasn’t going to speak anymore but the two of you had to sling total crap my way that I had to answer it. I had to stand in front of you and tell you that I do have a problem that it isn’t a gimmick.
Don’t try and know my life because none of you do. None of you ever will.

"Yea, Morgan, I DO think this is a gimmick."
[Fade up. Issac Solo in his Chicago hotel room, preparing to go to the REDEFINE Arena for the very first time as a competitor.]
"When you put your sob story on display for all the world to see, that's a gimmick. When you get the announcers talkin' 'bout how you came from hard upbringing aiming to succeed in professional wrestling, that's a gimmick. When you're cuttin' promos sluggin' back a fifth of Jack, that. Is. A. GIMMICK.
"Do you get it now? Do you see how completely, woefully unprepared you are for this match, when you can't even see things for what they are. To you, this is a performance. Which is fine, pro wrestling is THAT.
"But to ME, this is my LIFE. It's WHAT I DO. Tomorrow morning, that's me taking an early flight to Portland Oregon, so I can do this ALL OVER AGAIN TOMORROW. I don't know what got you here, to this point, in REDEFINE, but I know what got me here. An' it was bustin' my considerable rump in every damn indie promotion an' then some up an' down the West Coast. It got me in promotions with national TV deals, an' Netflix streaming. You say I tick you off the more I speak? Then do what I told you to do, an' figure out who the Hell it is yer fightin' tonight at the REDEFINE Arena.
"Because so far, everything you shown ME, proves that you ain't gonna cut it in REDEFINE. Oh sure, I bet you'll put on a good fight. Maybe. Or maybe not. Maybe you an' Kara will show up. Or not.
"All *I* know is, I know the work I've put in to be here in REDEFINE. Now, you think you're gonna walk in here without knowin' what's what? Nah. You wanna prove to me that you are gonna last in this business? You wanna show that you are gonna be here in REDEFINE next week, next month, next year?
"Then Morgan, what you better do tonight, in the REDEFINE Arena..."
[Issac zips up his gear bag, slings it over his shoulder...]
"Is COME. CORRECT."
[Issac walks off camera... and we FADE...]

Get this through your thick skull you son of a bitch I am not looking for sympathy. If you had listened to anything that I had said before I went to those dumb therapy sessions and they didn’t work. If I wanted sympathy you dumb ape I would have stayed in them and I would have tried to work on it with other people. At least that is what I think I would do.
Morgan Russo shakes her head as she looks at the camera.
Then again you go on to the fact that you don’t think that I’m here for the right reasons. That I will be some flash in the pan but Issac would I keep on coming on camera talking to you if I didn’t want this? I would have talked a little bit then heard what you had to say and I would have nodded my head and walked away. But no I stepped up and I called you out on every single piece of bullshit that you tried to spew in my direction. You see Issac I’m not just going to have one match and walk away from this business. I have trained my butt off for this match already not that you really care.
See Issac you are just a one way thinking type of guy. You say what you think is true and when I step up and try to tell you that you are wrong you come up with the same argument over and over again. Oh Morgan your drinking is a gimmick, oh Morgan you are just looking for sympathy, or Morgan you do not have what it takes to make it in this business. Did I pretty much sum up what you have been saying the whole time? You and Kara are sadly the same in that way you talk but all you do is say the same thing over and over again. Kara goes on and on and on about her Star Effect and all you talk about is what I outlined.
Issac I have nothing wrong with you and what you have done in this business. It is great that you have worked hard to get here to Redefine. It takes a lot of heart to do that and you seem to have that. There is nothing wrong with having heart but like I have said to question my desire kind of irks me. It makes me like I said want to slap you in your fat face and laugh at you. You might not know this but you have started to light a fire under my butt every time you talk. You make me want to work harder to be better, to be stronger, and to be faster.
You want me to come correct or whatever Issac and I will. Then after the match you will see that I have the desire for this and you will never question it again.
