{Following the interview of Guilty Pleasure on eXposed! things seemed to be looking up for Kenzi and Kate. The two had been on different wavelengths for LAW 62 and it had cost them against The Boardwalk Angels. Kate had disappeared following the loss and Kenzi was wondering if her partner was going to leave her high and dry, but tonight had gone a long way to putting her mind at ease. As Sarah Lacklan and AMC spoke with Domino following the show, Kenzi pulled Kate to the side to speak with her in private.}
Kenzi: “Kate...I really want to thank you for showing up here tonight. I know that that last match ended shitty and it was my fault...I admit that. I took the shot for Sarah when I should have had my eye on the whole team. That was my bad...and if that is the reason you bailed afterwards...I’m sorry. I promise you...I won’t make that mistake again. This match is too big and too important for me to be selfish like that.”
{Kenzi put her hand on Kate’s shoulder, giving it a gentle squeeze as she did her best to show Kate that she was serious.}
Kenzi: “So...are we good now?”
{Kate stared back at Kenzi as she shook her head at her. She grabbed Kenzi’s hand and violently moved it away from her as she immediately crossed her arms. She couldn’t help but stare daggers into Kenzi’s eyes as she kept her eyes on her.}
Kate: “Are we good?! Kenzi we have always been good but I don’t think you understand what I have been putting in to be in this team with you. It goes way beyond what you see on the top! I knew it would be career suicide pairing up with you. Granted CTN wanted to make money at our expense but I could have always disregarded what they wanted and did my own thing. My husband even told me not to be in a team with you but I ignored everything he said”
{Kate shakes her head as she lets her emotions overwhelm her.}
Kate: “I spent close to a year rebuilding my reputation. Trying to come back from the way I acted when I lost my Marquee Championship. I was faithful to Mackenzie and a really good fucking friend to everyone but for you I threw my own band into the mud just to be in a group with you. I turned my back on the Pink Ladies just to be by your side, and despite what my husband wanted. The way he warned me for you burning him on the whole drummer deal and even attacking my sister in laws. I still stuck by you not because I was told to do so but because I wanted too! Kenzi I just wanted to say that I… Well….”
{Kate shakes her head as she walks away.}
Kate: “Just forget it… You wouldn’t understand it. After all it’s always about you isn’t it, and then when you need me you want to come calling like you gave a damn in the first place. That’s how you always been!”
{Kenzi follows behind Kate, doing her best to plead her case.}
Kenzi: “KATE! Don’t just walk away like that! Look, I hear what you’re saying and I went through a lot of the same stuff! People were coming down on me for doing the band with you, let alone doing the tag team!”
{Kate continued to walk away and Kenzi grabbed her by her arm to stop her.}
Kenzi: “STOP GODDAMN IT! Let’s work this shit out, we have to be rea…”
{Kenzi was cut off in mid sentence as Kate turned and planted an open mouth kiss on her. Kenzi’s eye’s grew wide with surprise as she stumbled back, her face a mask of shock and confusion.}
Kenzi: “Kate? Wha...what the hell?!”
{Kate looked back at Kenzi as she glared back at her, Kate made a half smile as she looked deeply into Kenzi’s eyes. Kate’s smile was enough to brighten up the entire room. There was silence between them as Kate broke the silence.}
Kate: “For the past few months I tried to figure out what it was that made me choose you. I tried to figure out why I wanted to be around you so much. Why it didn’t matter if my husband or why I turned my back on every single loved one of my mine just to pick you over them. You’re a woman who I had never gotten along with. A woman who just never saw eye to eye with me but that’s when I finally came to the realization Kenzi. You remind me a lot of myself.”
{Kate smiles wider than before as she stares even deeper into Kenzi’s eyes.}
Kate: “The real reason why I disappeared and lost communication with you isn’t because I was sad for what I did to Stephanie in Honor. It wasn’t because I tried to run Melissa out of the band or make it about me for the sake of rebuilding. The real reason you didn’t hear from me is because I was figuring some things out about myself, and I was trying to figure out where everything and everyone fit in my life. What role does my husband have and I want, and truthful. The real reason why I decided to put myself in this mess is because I never met someone that was like me in the ways that you are. Mackenzie Michaela Grey I love you and I want you to myself. I would travel to the ends of the world for you if it meant I could always be with you, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
{Kenzi stood there in complete shock, unsure of what to say or do. She and Kate had been at war for months before the formation of Guilty Pleasure and in all that time there had never been an inkling of anything like this between them. Of course, she had been so wrapped up in her own business that she might not have noticed the change between them...assuming this wasn’t a joke. Kenzi narrowed her eyes, planting her hands on her hips.}
Kenzi: “Kate! You screwing with me here, right? I mean...you BETTER be screwing with me! We are going to be in one of the biggest matches of our career on Sunday...don’t be trying to punk me when you and I need to be getting together…”
{Kenzi paused, realizing that the choice of words was poor, even if it was a joke. Kenzi started to speak up again, but Kate leaned in and kissed her once more, this time with a lot more feeling. Kenzi jumped back, looking around to make sure that they were alone. If Sarah had seen what Kate had done there is no telling what might have jumped off. Kenzi grabbed Kate, holding her at arm’s length.}
Kenzi: “Kate...I...I don’t know what to say to this right now. I mean...I like you, but…”
{Before she said anything further, the wheels inside her head began to turn as she thought to their upcoming match at Validation. If she said the wrong thing, she could derail the team and any chance of winning would be dead in the water. Of course, if she said nothing...that could be even worse, Kate would just up and vanish again. Kenzi leaned against the wall, folding her arms as she gave Kate a curious look.}
Kenzi: “What about Teddy? You’re married…”
Kate: “Ever since Philadelphia I knew my place was with you Kenzi. I knew that from the moment I chose you and I left him hanging. It’s been a long time coming and I don’t know why or how he puts up with me, but I think even he eventually saw this coming.”
{Kate presses against Kenzi.}
Kate: “Is it too much for a girl to know what she wants and when she wants it?! The moment I agreed to be by your side I knew there was no turning back. It’s all or nothing and I put all my chips on table. What I need from you sweetie is to be the Kenzi I adore. The one everyone hates, the one that will do anything and everything just to make sure the world revolves around her. Can you do that?!”
{Kenzi was torn in so many directions at once. Her mind immediately went to Sarah and what she would think if she saw the two of them like this. Screw the team, she would set the entire place on fire! Still...the thought of the two of them, Kenzi and Kate finally on the same page with a unified goal of winning the tag team titles at any cost...it had a certain appeal to it. Kenzi smiled, as she saw the merit in this, but she didn’t want to over do it by seeming too eager. She put a little distance between them.}
Kenzi: “Kate...I’m really happy that you feel this way...I really am. Knowing that you are just as focused on beating Farrah and Zoey as I am is a big load off my mind. It has been nothing but distraction after distraction with them...anything and everything to keep our eyes off the prize! They have done any and everything to keep us off our game...but now...I think that is about to change...”
{She let her hands drift down to hold Kate’s hands.}
Kenzi: “I really want you to win that triple crown on Sunday and I don’t want any needless distractions...but…”
{She leaned in and kissed Kate on the cheek and whispered in her ear.}
Kenzi: “Once we win those titles...the sky's the limit baby…”
{She pulled back, looking at Kate and hoping that would be enough to satisfy her for the moment. She didn’t want to lead Kate on...but her desire to win on Sunday was urging her to do things that she didn’t think she was capable of. Kate smiles as she ran her fingers through Kenzi’s hair. She felt at ease as she glared deeply into her eyes again.}
Kate: “We will win those titles. You have the pleasure of teaming up with the best pure athlete in the entire company. My only downfall is being able to be in a successful team. This is what it has always been about Kenzi. You and I coming together. If we could put on great feuds in the company. If we could work magical wonders on the set of Hexx why can’t we do the same in the ring?! Let’s show the world what the two of us are really about and make people like Camacho shove it on how they feel about us. Let’s make them choke on their words and clip the wings of a couple of overrated angels!.”
{Now she was really speaking Kenzi’s language. Over the past few weeks nearly everyone in LAW had been coming down on her, especially Gabby Camacho. She had been one of the main ones saying that Kenzi and Kate didn’t stand a chance against The Boardwalk Angels, let alone as a unified team. Until tonight, it was looking like she was going to be proven right. Kenzi was overjoyed at the prospect of the two of them finally being united and ready for battle...but this wasn’t quite the way she had thought it would go. She put her arm around Kate, guiding her back to the studio.}
Kenzi: “You know that I am with you Kate...100% girl! This is where you and I finally put our stamp on all the hard work that we have done over the past 5 months together! This is our chance to give the biggest middle finger to the entire world!”
{She paused, standing in front of Kate as she spread her arms wide.}
Kenzi: “Guilty Pleasure...world’s best band...and greatest tag team!”
{She giggled, giving Kate a wink.}
Kenzi: “You and I will have done what no one ever thought we could...together...just the two of us.”
{She paused, as she realized that Kate was more than ready to let her ‘freak flag’ fly, but that wasn’t going to fly with Sarah. She needed to do something to keep those fires burning, at least until Validation. She leaned in close to Kate, her voice a whisper yet again.}
Kenzi: “Kate...this might be a little...strange for Sarah...so, maybe we should kinda cool it and keep things on the down low...at least until after Validation. What do you think?”
{Kenzi didn’t know what Kate would say, but she hoped that she’d agree to at least lock her feelings away for a few more days so she didn’t have to try to explain this to her girlfriend.}
Kate: “Sounds good to me. Hey, maybe we, unlike the Angels. should leave this fanfest and talk show shit alone and focus on what’s really important. That being training as much as we can. These girls are banking on the fact that we are going to be running but we should stand our ground. Show em that we are ready to fight for what we want.”
{Kate smiled again.}
Kate: “Or cheat our ways into getting it but either way we won’t rest until we get what we want, and by doing so…”
{Kate winks at Kenzi.}
Kate: “I get what I want!”
{Kenzi felt sick for leading Kate on, but she didn’t feel like she had a choice. Telling Kate that she was head over heels in love with Sarah might break the team before they even had a chance to finally climb to the top of the mountain. It wasn’t the right thing to do...but it was the right thing to do at the moment. Kenzi winked back at her, putting her arm back over Kate’s shoulder as they walked back towards the others.}
Kenzi: “We are both going to get what we really want and deserve Kate! After all the shit that Farrah and Zoey have been talking and putting the two of us through, it is going to feel really good to finally punch those two cunts right in the mouth! No more running and no more games...just you and me doing what we do best...anything...and fucking everything!”
{The two girls walked back into the studio, rejoining AMC, Sarah, and Domino as they acted as if nothing had happened, but in fact something had...something that would change the fortunes of Guilty Pleasure the band and Guilty Pleasure the tag team, forever.}
Broken Wings Gym
Los Angeles, California
{Following the eXposed! interview, Kate and Kenzi had a new focus as they headed into Validation. The quest had always been about the titles, but after the Kate dropped the bombshell on Kenzi about her feelings, there was a new incentive to win...at least for one of them. Kenzi had felt terrible about leading Kate on, but if that is what it took to get Guilty Pleasure firing on all cylinders, that is what she was willing to do. The two had spent hours on the phone and every waking moment that they could training and refocusing themselves to take on the challenge of The Boardwalk Angels. Farrah and Zoey were a team in every sense of the word and if Kate and Kenzi were going to best them, they would have to match their unity. As individuals, Kenzi and Kate had proven their skill in the gold the two had managed to win, but if they wanted to win gold as a unit...they would need to become one and know each other, through and through. The two had come to a CTN sponsored gym in LA and had spent hours working on the fundamentals of tag teaming. It had been tiresome work, but it was starting to pay off as the two were actually starting to get a feel for one another...in more ways than one. Kate and Kenzi locked up for what seemed like the hundredth time, their bodies slick with sweat as they struggled for an advantage. Kate waited for Kenzi to try to cheat, as she always did, and as she showed her hand, the former LAW and Marquee Champion countered. Kate avoided Ken’s attempt to kick her in the shin and swept her to the mat, landing hard on top of her. Kenzi struggled, but Kate was too technically sound to be easily outmaneuvered. Kate moved Kenzi into a pin, holding her there with a grin as the Hexx star struggled, then was forced to give up.}
Kenzi: “DAMN IT! Okay! Let me up!”
Kate: COME ON KENZI!!!!! You got to think and fight smarter than that! I swear to God if you are the reason that I don’t become a Triple Crown winner I will… I will….
{Kate smiles evilly as she twists Kenzi into a pretzel. She uses her technical ability as she mounts herself on top of her with an evil grin.}
Kate: “Promise to be more rough than this. You need to pick it up. Don’t you want to prove the naysayers wrong?! Don’t you want to amount to much more than being the daughter of Sidney Grey and the sister of Nicky Silver?! Don’t you want to make a name for yourself instead of living off of someone else’s legacy?! If so step it up!
{Kenzi wrenched herself free with the added incentive that Kate gave her, straining as she rolled on top of Kate, taking the dominant, if not awkward position atop her partner. Kate gave her an encouraging smile, and Kenzi immediately hopped off.}
Kenzi: “Sorry about that Kate...I’ll do better, I promise…”
{The words of encouragement had been more than enough, but the smile that Kate had given her at the end weighed on her. She hated the fact that she was leading her partner on in this manner, but there seemed to be little choice given what they were up against. As Kenzi reset herself, Kate was on her in a flash, backing her up into the corner and pressing her body against hers in the corner. This time, Kenzi slipped between her legs and took Kate down with a schoolboy attempt, grabbing Kate’s tights as she held her down. Kate tried her best to break free but couldn’t as Kenzi was able to finally pick up a win. Kenzi broke the hold as Kate rose up to her feet. She clapped her hands as she offered a hand which Kenzi grabbed to pull herself up.}
Kate: “That’s exactly what I am talking about! You need to always be one step ahead. Be ahead of your opponent. These Angels really talk up a good game but they haven’t faced anyone like us before. All they do is talk shit let’s make them eat their words!”
{Kate smiled again.}
Kate: “You need to be at the top of your game. Do what you do best. If you have to cheat, cheat, but don’t make everything look so obvious. Your biggest flaw is everything you do is so telegraphed. Perhaps maybe you should wrestle like someone else. That is your thing. Use your actressing skills and confuse the bloody hell out of them or something! I trust you would know what to do when the time is right.”
{‘Cheat’ the word echoed inside Kenzi’s head as Kate said it, but it didn’t have the connotation that Kate had intended. Kenzi was still bothered by the idea that she was allowing Kate to think that they would be a couple after they won the titles. She knew that made her a terrible person, but was this really any different than Kate telling her to cheat to win? That is what she was doing after all...wasn’t it?}
{Kenzi took a breath and nodded, casting aside her thoughts of using Kate’s feelings. After the two of them came together and kicked the shit out of the champions, she’d deal with the rest later. Kenzi grinned at Kate as she pranced around the ring, mimicking Farrah.}
Kenzi: “Of course I know what to do! I’ll be #RatedF for Fake Ass Trick!”
{Kenzi laughed as she rolled eyes.}
Kenzi: “After our match, the only thing that is going to be flying are those Tag Team Titles...right out of those HashTag tramps hands and right into ours baby! Guilty Pleasure...new champs...pound it out!”
{Kenzi stuck out her fist. Kate shrugged her shoulders as she looked back at Kenzi.}
Kate: Are we talking about the British Pound? Because if so I am in! I can use all the Pounds to make us a good meal. How does celebrating with some good old beans and bangers sound?! Seems like such an amazing dish to have after we beat the hell out of those Angels. To think Farrah actually thinks she’s better than me. I am a much better singer than she will ever be, and Zoey is awful. Only magic trick that bitch will showcase is how fast she disappears from LAW after we take those straps. I have a really good feeling about this.”
{Kate smiles wickedly.}
Kate: “A really good one, and nobody will stop me from cementing my place as the first triple crown… I mean our place as Tag Team Champions. That’s what this has all been about right?!”
{Kenzi appreciated the fact that Kate corrected herself, but she had no illusions there. Kate’s legacy in LAW was important to her and there was nothing wrong with that. Kenzi took Kate’s hand and looked her right in the eye.}
Kenzi: “Kate, I know that you want to be the first triple crown champion in LAW...and I respect that it’s what’s driving you. Don’t apologize for it or think that it’s selfish...we all do selfish things to get what we want.”
{Her thoughts turned to what she was doing, leading Kate on. She hoped that the ends would justify the means. Kate reached over and caressed the side of Kenzi’s face, leaning in close to her.}
Kate: “We are going to get what we want! We are going to win those bloody titles...I’ll become a triple crown champion and you’ll get your second straight win at Validation...and then…”
{Kate moved in closer to Kenzi, their lips nearly touching.}
Kate: “You and I will finally be able to be together.”
{Kenzi gave an uncomfortable chuckle, but she recovered quickly, giving Kate a quick kiss on the cheek, then sent her into the ropes with an Irish whip. Kate rebounded and leaped over Kenzi as she dropped down. As she rebounded a second time, Kenzi went for a standing dropkick and Kate dodged it and dropped down on top of Kenzi. Kate grinned as she managed to pin Kenzi’s arms back, again having the girl at her mercy.}
Kate: “I keep falling for you...over and over again Kenzi!”
{Kenzi struggled in Kate’s grip.}
Kenzi: “Just make sure you don’t fall for Farrah or Zoey and we’ll be good!”
{Kenzi bridged out of the pin and rolled away as Kate bounced to her feet, ready to press the attack. Kenzi held up her hand.}
Kenzi: “OKAY! Enough for now, I’m dying over here as it is!”
{Kenzi scooted into the corner and Kate walked over, plopping down beside her, patting her leg...then letting it linger there.}
Kate: “Okay...five minutes lazy bones! Take one second longer and I’ll twist you into a pretzel!
{Kenzi looked down at the hand on her thigh, but she said nothing, only covered it with her own. She looked over at Kate.}
Kenzi: “Hey...thank you...for coming back. I was worried that you were gonna leave me high and dry.”
Kate: “Me? No way! I just needed some time to work this all out in my head Kenz, that’s all. I gotta tell you though, having that off my chest, makes all the difference! We can go into that match and just focus on what we need to do...period!”
{Kenzi nodded, knowing well the dangers of wrestling while distracted.}
Kenzi: “I let their games with all the Cornett stuff and the rumors about firing get to me. I’m finished with all of that now. This was supposed to be about the titles from the start, and that is where my focus is now! There is no better way to put an end to drama than a well placed punch in the mouth!”
Kate: “Same here Kenz...I let their trash talk get to me, but come Validation, the talk won’t matter. They have gotten use to hit and run tactics, but on Sunday we changed the game. We go right at them, head to head and let them know that playtime is over.”
{Kate laughed, laying her head on Kenzi’s shoulder.}
Kate: “Then our playtime can start.”
{Kenzi’s eyes grew big as she looked at Kate. She was tempted to shove her off as she put her hand on her head, but she stroked her blonde locks instead.}
Kenzi: “Yeah...then it can start…”
{Kate seemed content as she rested on Kenzi, enjoying the closeness she had dreamed of while she was away collecting her thoughts}
Kate: This match is really important to you...isn't? I mean...I want to be a triple crown champion and all...but it just seems like this one is...special some how.
{Kenzi took a deep breath as she answered Kate's question.}
Kenzi: Wrestling is supposed to be about the people in the ring...maybe they had beef outside of it, but it was always between the people in the ring. Farrah and Zoey came running into LAW screaming about shit that had nothing to do with then, and then they have the nerve to be make up shit and have their friends pile on...talking to LAW behind my back, trying to get me fired. That is dirty and low! If you want to cheat me in the ring...cheat, but don't make up shit to try to take away my dream. I love LAW, it has been my home for over two years. I bled and sacrificed a lot to be here. I deserve better from The Boardwalk Angels and from LAW management.
{Kenzi looks over at Kate.}
Kenzi: What about you? I mean, I know you want that triple crown...but, it seems kinda personal for you as well.
Kate: You're damn right it is! I was the very first LAW Champion! I accomplished something that very few have accomplished in this place, but where are my accolades? Where is my respect? I defeated one of the most dominant champions in the history of this company to become the Marquee Champion, but now they treat Mackenzie Roberts like she is the cock of the walk! I have accomplished more than she or anyone else in LAW and I deserve respect! That is what I am fighting for...that is why this is personal for me.
{The two sat there in the odd embrace for a moment or two until Kate finally sat up. She looked at Kenzi with a measured expression, then moved in closer.}
Kate: “What are you going to tell Sarah?”
{Kenzi pulled Kate’s hand off her leg as she stood up and gave a shrug of her shoulders. She moved to the corner, leaning into the ropes.}
Kenzi: “I’ll tell her the truth I guess…”
{Kate sprang to her feet, walking over to Kenzi and leaning against the ropes next to her. She smiled as she put her hand on Kenzi’s back, giving it a gentle rub.}
Kate: “I know that this is going to be hard for her, but I think you’re right. Just tell her straight. It really is the best way to deal with this sort of thing. She can go back to Transylvania and then the two of us can really do what we were meant to do...take over LAW as the founders of the two greatest factions in history! I mean...just think about it Kenz...after Validation...you and I walking through the halls of the arena...tag team gold around our waists and newly minted Katetourage shirts on our backs!”
Kenzi: “Katetourage?”
{Kate grinned and shrugged.}
Kate: “Pinktourage and Ladytourage both sounded stupid.”
{Kenzi laughed, rolling her eyes.}
Kenzi: “I think both of tho…”
{Kate leaned in and kissed Kenzi again, but before she could pull away, someone cleared their throat, getting the attention of both women. Kenzi stumbled away from Kate, her eyes wide as their manager, Ashley Marie Chase climbed onto the apron.}
AMC: “WOW! When you said you guys were back together...I didn’t think you meant...together/together!”
Kenzi: “It’s not what it looks like! I…”
{She looks at Kate, the firey Brit looking right back at her. Rather than shatter the illusion, she looks down at the mat.}
Kenzi: “Okay...it’s what it looks like.”
{Kate walked over, patting Kenzi on her behind then putting her arm around her. Giving her a good squeeze.}
Kate: “Don’t you worry! We will be thick as thieves tomorrow! This thing here, we are going to table this until we win those titles!”
{AMC looked at Kenzi and then shook her head as she stepped into the ring. She held up her hands.}
AMC: “I’m not sure of what is going on and to be honest, not sure that I care unless all of what you two have going on is going to affect you in the ring. If it is, tell me now before I go out there with you. I don’t want to get blindsided.”
Kate: “Trust me, our eyes are on the LAW Tag Team Titles. Kenzi and I are finally on the same sheet of music and on Sunday, the fat lady is going to be singing because the Boardwalk Angels bullshit title reign will finally be over! LAW left us hanging for Rising Stars and they made us wait four long months to get our shot at what she would have had back in January! It’s obvious that Farrah and Zoey were doing all that they could to derail us...and it nearly worked...huh Kenz?”
{Kate slapped Kenzi on the ass, causing her to jump. Kate laughed as she continued on.}
Kate: “Guilty Pleasure is tighter than ever...tighter than my partner’s bum! We are going to go into San Antonio and wreck shit!”
{Kenzi, blushing from the embarrassment, could only nod.}
Kenzi: “Yeah...gonna wreck them.”
{AMC folded her arms and looked at each of them in turn, then a smile spread across her face.}
AMC: “Good, because I am ready to add one more line to my managerial list of accomplishments...manager of the Ladies All-Star Wrestling Tag Team Champions! Now, bring it in!”
{Kate rushed in, urging Kenzi on as they shared a group hug. Guilty Pleasure, as dysfunctional as they had once been were finally on the same page...as far as being being a tag team. Whatever came after Validation...would be another matter entirely.}
So this is what everyone has been waiting for?!
You know out of all the matches that will be fought at Validation this match with the Boardwalk Angels is clearly the most anticipated match of the evening. This is the match that everyone has been waiting to see and more importantly than that there isn’t a match as personal on this entire card as the match between those stupid bloody wanker bitches and us. This feud, and match has gone through two entire Pay Per Views and at Validation one of us will receive the validation we have been seeking when we will see who the premier team between the two of us are?!
And in my eyes there isn’t a question in my mind who the superior team is. There’s no doubt that it hands down goes to Kenzi and I. I know the question that has been on everybody’s mind. Where exactly was I for these past few weeks. I wasn’t seen and nobody had heard from me since losing that three on three match, and to be honest I just wanted to center myself. I wanted to find some balance so that I could be focused. I could be right on track to really fuck a pair of bitches up and take what belongs to Kenzi and I.
Now as a team Farrah and Zoey are close friends. They have a connection that goes well beyond the amount of time that I have known Kenzi and you know what that’s fine. Just because you are all buddy buddy with one another doesn’t make you the better pair. When I first got into this business I was the tag team partner of my former lover Misty Whitmore. We were in it together and we were closer than anything else but when it came time to stepping through the confines of the ring. Things just never seemed to work out because Misty had one way of doing things, and I had a different vision altogether.
In the end despite how close we were, despite us becoming best friends we really never had the success that we desperately wanted too. You two might be able to fool everyone into thinking you are a somewhat decent team but in all honestly the hype doesn’t go with the actual skill level of your team. You just happened to be in the right place at the right time and were able to seize the moment.
Does that make you a better team than us?! No because when it was Kenzi and I taking on you two twats early into your LAW career we ended up wrestling to a draw. We wrestled to a draw because things got out of control really fast and the match had to basically be thrown out.
Yet as that match concluded you two were somehow granted a chance to become tag team number one contenders and Kenzi and I were left on the backburner. Left to watch as the company screw us over out of our opportunity and our chance for ascension,
Someone in the office most love you two because while the both of you get a chance to team up and practice your craft of teaming up with one another and being on the same page. It really seems that the figure heads in LAW are out to make sure that Kenzi and I don’t exist as a team. I bet they don’t even want us as a team. We were a team longer than you two ever were in this company and we can’t even get a tag team portrait while you two are shown in your glory.
It’s absolute bullshit and I demand a little more respect than that. I sold out arenas and various shows in my first year of being here. I am this fucking company, and was the very first World Champion to be crowned here. I should get the royal treatment and Kenzi is a second generation star. She is a woman who had to deal with having Sidney Grey as a mother, and yes things were rough for her in the beginning of her LAW career but she was able to pick herself up out of the shadow of her horrible mother.
She was able to fight some of her personal demons and she went on to have a wonderful reign as Chaos Champion, and yet she still doesn’t get any respect. Hell we don’t get any respect and everybody in this company knows that in itself is a load of horse shit.
Why can’t we get treated in the same way that everyone else gets treated?! Why are we the ones to get the black sheep treatment while others get the spotlight and everything that goes with it?! The fact is deep down Kenzi and I have this strange and unique relationship to us.
We have been at each other’s necks since the moment that we came into contact with one another. Every time we perform on stage together we do our very best to one up one another. Every time we film something for CTN we try to out act the other, and we have always been like that. Whether it was the Pink Ladies and the Kentourage at each other’s throats or us trying to kill one another. We have this undying need to be better than one another.
With ingredients like that it has all the makings to be one big train wreck but honestly we both know what it’s like to come together, and nothing will outshine the amount of publicity that will come with being the LAW Tag Team Champions. At the end of the day that is what it has always been about and me and Kenzi want that more than you two could ever realize. We breathe gold and we do whatever it takes to get those titles around our waist.
For Kenzi getting gold brings on respect, and it basically a big fuck you to all the naysayers who thought she was the horrendous fluke who was only out there for a laugh with alize platinum. Yet look at her now?! She’s got a title reign under her she’s got singles wins over a Queen of the Ring and other big time wrestlers in this company, and she’s the one who’s laughing.
And of course it’s no secret why I want to be a triple crowner in this company. I feel like it’s the only way to get any bloody respect. I love Violet to death she’s one of my closest friends she’s like a sister and she has named me as one of Lavender’s Godmothers. But it’s a little horseshit that she has made her way into the Hall of Fame for being a Pink Lady cofounder and the first ever Marquee Champion.
Where is my respect?! Where is my right to be in that damn hall of fame?!
It should mean something that I was the first World Champion. It should mean something that I ended Nyako’s title reign and career. Hell I even was Oni’s last match which I won by the way, and had a Marquee reign longer than Violet. Yet I get put on the backburner for what reason?!
My statistics are more than enough to get me in there yet I don’t get the respect that I deserve. It just seems like useless cunts like the Angels are getting attention that should be on me.
We get it the Angels are here to be THE tag team to beat. They are here to raise the bar but as much as they want to ride their high horses assuming that they actually accomplished something the reality is their big title win deserves a big asterisk right next to it. It should read won titles because Guilty Pleasure was not involved in the match. They get handed a contention match while we got left out of the equation. The Angels haven’t beaten us. Sure they may have won a three on three match but when it comes to the actual team.
They just never beat us and I doubt they ever could. Despite what they might tell you it’s all a façade and a bunch of bullshit.
The only reason why they might appear to be a stronger team is because they get the exposure that should have been on us. We won the number one contender match at the last Pay Per View. All of the focus should have been squarely on our team. It should have been about LAW strengthening us as a team, and yet we don’t get the chance to shine because they want to shove Crystal down Kenzi’s throat. They want to shove Dazi down Kenzi’s throat, and put Kenzi through the wire when it should have been about what Guilty Pleasure is about.
And instead of letting Kenzi and I test our ability and skills against formidable teams I get stuck having to face people like Millar, people like Amirai when I should have been with Kenzi. Smells like crap to me but it’s whatever because if the company doesn’t want to give us the focus that we deserve that’s when we make sure everybody knows it’s all about us. That’s why we decided to make Kenzi’s match with Crystal a handicapped match because we wanted the world to know that Guilty Pleasure is the team you all might hate seeing formed up but it’s the team you are going to be force fed.
It’s the team you are going to get whether you like it or not, and there’s not a single thing that anybody or anything can do to stop it. You want to step up to the plate you are going to eventually get crushed it’s as simple as that.
Besides you think I can respect the Angels beating the Naughty Girls for the championship?! Who exactly are the Naughty Girls anyway?! A team that happened to beat the life out of the one hit wonders of the Fireshock sisters who are gone, who beat the one hit wonders of the Frienemies who are gone.
It’s really pathetic when you think about it. The landscape of tag team wrestling in LAW was a joke and Kenzi and I were to be the saviors. Our dysfunction was going to bring entertainment, our antics were going to take the division to a whole another level and yet that went out the window the moment the Angels stepped on the scene.
It doesn’t matter though because Kenzi and I will get our way in one way or another, and there isn’t anything you can do to stop it. If for some reason you do win Kenzi and I will get involved in every single match of yours. We will make the division about us and will steal all of the spotlight. You two don’t get off that easy. Not now and not ever.
I bet you winning the championships in the first place was because Zoey’s lover from the Naughty Girls felt sorry for you. I bet it was planned she would drop the belt in the same way that Kenzi and Sarah trade the Fucking Awful Worthless Hardcore Championship in matches at the home that nobody cares about. It’s the same thing right?!
You two are a joke and when you getting involved with the Angels gets the entire Cornett peanut gallery involved. It’s gets all of the fucking stooges like Kate Bass and JMC involved in what should be between us.
But you know what bring whoever you want because it still wouldn’t make a difference. Kenzi and I fight our own battles and we don’t give a damn who has something to say against us because we fight our own. We don’t need anyone out there we simply do what we do.
As soon as the bell rings you better expect everything under the sun to happen because Kenzi and I have but one plan when the match begins. Do whatever it takes to become tag team champions. Once we become champions everything else will follow suit. More media on us, more attention, and you definitely will get us shoving ourselves down your throats.
You better get used to it because we will walk out as champions.
I will be damned if we let a woman who thinks she can sing better than us out class us, and we can see through the other’s fake ass tricks.
What will happen on Sunday won’t be a magic trick. It will be reality and you better get used to it. Although if you want to see real magic just wait until Sunday. Kenzi and I will make those tag straps disappeared, and it will be in the span of three seconds.
1…2…3… Poof and they will be gone.
Come Validation the two of you will be shipwrecked as we introduce you to the final song that you will ever hear. A Siren’s Song and it will lead to your demise.
See you bitches then.
Los Angeles, California
{Following the interview of Guilty Pleasure on eXposed! things seemed to be looking up for Kenzi and Kate. The two had been on different wavelengths for LAW 62 and it had cost them against The Boardwalk Angels. Kate had disappeared following the loss and Kenzi was wondering if her partner was going to leave her high and dry, but tonight had gone a long way to putting her mind at ease. As Sarah Lacklan and AMC spoke with Domino following the show, Kenzi pulled Kate to the side to speak with her in private.}
Kenzi: “Kate...I really want to thank you for showing up here tonight. I know that that last match ended shitty and it was my fault...I admit that. I took the shot for Sarah when I should have had my eye on the whole team. That was my bad...and if that is the reason you bailed afterwards...I’m sorry. I promise you...I won’t make that mistake again. This match is too big and too important for me to be selfish like that.”
{Kenzi put her hand on Kate’s shoulder, giving it a gentle squeeze as she did her best to show Kate that she was serious.}
Kenzi: “So...are we good now?”
{Kate stared back at Kenzi as she shook her head at her. She grabbed Kenzi’s hand and violently moved it away from her as she immediately crossed her arms. She couldn’t help but stare daggers into Kenzi’s eyes as she kept her eyes on her.}
Kate: “Are we good?! Kenzi we have always been good but I don’t think you understand what I have been putting in to be in this team with you. It goes way beyond what you see on the top! I knew it would be career suicide pairing up with you. Granted CTN wanted to make money at our expense but I could have always disregarded what they wanted and did my own thing. My husband even told me not to be in a team with you but I ignored everything he said”
{Kate shakes her head as she lets her emotions overwhelm her.}
Kate: “I spent close to a year rebuilding my reputation. Trying to come back from the way I acted when I lost my Marquee Championship. I was faithful to Mackenzie and a really good fucking friend to everyone but for you I threw my own band into the mud just to be in a group with you. I turned my back on the Pink Ladies just to be by your side, and despite what my husband wanted. The way he warned me for you burning him on the whole drummer deal and even attacking my sister in laws. I still stuck by you not because I was told to do so but because I wanted too! Kenzi I just wanted to say that I… Well….”
{Kate shakes her head as she walks away.}
Kate: “Just forget it… You wouldn’t understand it. After all it’s always about you isn’t it, and then when you need me you want to come calling like you gave a damn in the first place. That’s how you always been!”
{Kenzi follows behind Kate, doing her best to plead her case.}
Kenzi: “KATE! Don’t just walk away like that! Look, I hear what you’re saying and I went through a lot of the same stuff! People were coming down on me for doing the band with you, let alone doing the tag team!”
{Kate continued to walk away and Kenzi grabbed her by her arm to stop her.}
Kenzi: “STOP GODDAMN IT! Let’s work this shit out, we have to be rea…”
{Kenzi was cut off in mid sentence as Kate turned and planted an open mouth kiss on her. Kenzi’s eye’s grew wide with surprise as she stumbled back, her face a mask of shock and confusion.}
Kenzi: “Kate? Wha...what the hell?!”
{Kate looked back at Kenzi as she glared back at her, Kate made a half smile as she looked deeply into Kenzi’s eyes. Kate’s smile was enough to brighten up the entire room. There was silence between them as Kate broke the silence.}
Kate: “For the past few months I tried to figure out what it was that made me choose you. I tried to figure out why I wanted to be around you so much. Why it didn’t matter if my husband or why I turned my back on every single loved one of my mine just to pick you over them. You’re a woman who I had never gotten along with. A woman who just never saw eye to eye with me but that’s when I finally came to the realization Kenzi. You remind me a lot of myself.”
{Kate smiles wider than before as she stares even deeper into Kenzi’s eyes.}
Kate: “The real reason why I disappeared and lost communication with you isn’t because I was sad for what I did to Stephanie in Honor. It wasn’t because I tried to run Melissa out of the band or make it about me for the sake of rebuilding. The real reason you didn’t hear from me is because I was figuring some things out about myself, and I was trying to figure out where everything and everyone fit in my life. What role does my husband have and I want, and truthful. The real reason why I decided to put myself in this mess is because I never met someone that was like me in the ways that you are. Mackenzie Michaela Grey I love you and I want you to myself. I would travel to the ends of the world for you if it meant I could always be with you, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
{Kenzi stood there in complete shock, unsure of what to say or do. She and Kate had been at war for months before the formation of Guilty Pleasure and in all that time there had never been an inkling of anything like this between them. Of course, she had been so wrapped up in her own business that she might not have noticed the change between them...assuming this wasn’t a joke. Kenzi narrowed her eyes, planting her hands on her hips.}
Kenzi: “Kate! You screwing with me here, right? I mean...you BETTER be screwing with me! We are going to be in one of the biggest matches of our career on Sunday...don’t be trying to punk me when you and I need to be getting together…”
{Kenzi paused, realizing that the choice of words was poor, even if it was a joke. Kenzi started to speak up again, but Kate leaned in and kissed her once more, this time with a lot more feeling. Kenzi jumped back, looking around to make sure that they were alone. If Sarah had seen what Kate had done there is no telling what might have jumped off. Kenzi grabbed Kate, holding her at arm’s length.}
Kenzi: “Kate...I...I don’t know what to say to this right now. I mean...I like you, but…”
{Before she said anything further, the wheels inside her head began to turn as she thought to their upcoming match at Validation. If she said the wrong thing, she could derail the team and any chance of winning would be dead in the water. Of course, if she said nothing...that could be even worse, Kate would just up and vanish again. Kenzi leaned against the wall, folding her arms as she gave Kate a curious look.}
Kenzi: “What about Teddy? You’re married…”
Kate: “Ever since Philadelphia I knew my place was with you Kenzi. I knew that from the moment I chose you and I left him hanging. It’s been a long time coming and I don’t know why or how he puts up with me, but I think even he eventually saw this coming.”
{Kate presses against Kenzi.}
Kate: “Is it too much for a girl to know what she wants and when she wants it?! The moment I agreed to be by your side I knew there was no turning back. It’s all or nothing and I put all my chips on table. What I need from you sweetie is to be the Kenzi I adore. The one everyone hates, the one that will do anything and everything just to make sure the world revolves around her. Can you do that?!”
{Kenzi was torn in so many directions at once. Her mind immediately went to Sarah and what she would think if she saw the two of them like this. Screw the team, she would set the entire place on fire! Still...the thought of the two of them, Kenzi and Kate finally on the same page with a unified goal of winning the tag team titles at any cost...it had a certain appeal to it. Kenzi smiled, as she saw the merit in this, but she didn’t want to over do it by seeming too eager. She put a little distance between them.}
Kenzi: “Kate...I’m really happy that you feel this way...I really am. Knowing that you are just as focused on beating Farrah and Zoey as I am is a big load off my mind. It has been nothing but distraction after distraction with them...anything and everything to keep our eyes off the prize! They have done any and everything to keep us off our game...but now...I think that is about to change...”
{She let her hands drift down to hold Kate’s hands.}
Kenzi: “I really want you to win that triple crown on Sunday and I don’t want any needless distractions...but…”
{She leaned in and kissed Kate on the cheek and whispered in her ear.}
Kenzi: “Once we win those titles...the sky's the limit baby…”
{She pulled back, looking at Kate and hoping that would be enough to satisfy her for the moment. She didn’t want to lead Kate on...but her desire to win on Sunday was urging her to do things that she didn’t think she was capable of. Kate smiles as she ran her fingers through Kenzi’s hair. She felt at ease as she glared deeply into her eyes again.}
Kate: “We will win those titles. You have the pleasure of teaming up with the best pure athlete in the entire company. My only downfall is being able to be in a successful team. This is what it has always been about Kenzi. You and I coming together. If we could put on great feuds in the company. If we could work magical wonders on the set of Hexx why can’t we do the same in the ring?! Let’s show the world what the two of us are really about and make people like Camacho shove it on how they feel about us. Let’s make them choke on their words and clip the wings of a couple of overrated angels!.”
{Now she was really speaking Kenzi’s language. Over the past few weeks nearly everyone in LAW had been coming down on her, especially Gabby Camacho. She had been one of the main ones saying that Kenzi and Kate didn’t stand a chance against The Boardwalk Angels, let alone as a unified team. Until tonight, it was looking like she was going to be proven right. Kenzi was overjoyed at the prospect of the two of them finally being united and ready for battle...but this wasn’t quite the way she had thought it would go. She put her arm around Kate, guiding her back to the studio.}
Kenzi: “You know that I am with you Kate...100% girl! This is where you and I finally put our stamp on all the hard work that we have done over the past 5 months together! This is our chance to give the biggest middle finger to the entire world!”
{She paused, standing in front of Kate as she spread her arms wide.}
Kenzi: “Guilty Pleasure...world’s best band...and greatest tag team!”
{She giggled, giving Kate a wink.}
Kenzi: “You and I will have done what no one ever thought we could...together...just the two of us.”
{She paused, as she realized that Kate was more than ready to let her ‘freak flag’ fly, but that wasn’t going to fly with Sarah. She needed to do something to keep those fires burning, at least until Validation. She leaned in close to Kate, her voice a whisper yet again.}
Kenzi: “Kate...this might be a little...strange for Sarah...so, maybe we should kinda cool it and keep things on the down low...at least until after Validation. What do you think?”
{Kenzi didn’t know what Kate would say, but she hoped that she’d agree to at least lock her feelings away for a few more days so she didn’t have to try to explain this to her girlfriend.}
Kate: “Sounds good to me. Hey, maybe we, unlike the Angels. should leave this fanfest and talk show shit alone and focus on what’s really important. That being training as much as we can. These girls are banking on the fact that we are going to be running but we should stand our ground. Show em that we are ready to fight for what we want.”
{Kate smiled again.}
Kate: “Or cheat our ways into getting it but either way we won’t rest until we get what we want, and by doing so…”
{Kate winks at Kenzi.}
Kate: “I get what I want!”
{Kenzi felt sick for leading Kate on, but she didn’t feel like she had a choice. Telling Kate that she was head over heels in love with Sarah might break the team before they even had a chance to finally climb to the top of the mountain. It wasn’t the right thing to do...but it was the right thing to do at the moment. Kenzi winked back at her, putting her arm back over Kate’s shoulder as they walked back towards the others.}
Kenzi: “We are both going to get what we really want and deserve Kate! After all the shit that Farrah and Zoey have been talking and putting the two of us through, it is going to feel really good to finally punch those two cunts right in the mouth! No more running and no more games...just you and me doing what we do best...anything...and fucking everything!”
{The two girls walked back into the studio, rejoining AMC, Sarah, and Domino as they acted as if nothing had happened, but in fact something had...something that would change the fortunes of Guilty Pleasure the band and Guilty Pleasure the tag team, forever.}
Broken Wings Gym
Los Angeles, California
{Following the eXposed! interview, Kate and Kenzi had a new focus as they headed into Validation. The quest had always been about the titles, but after the Kate dropped the bombshell on Kenzi about her feelings, there was a new incentive to win...at least for one of them. Kenzi had felt terrible about leading Kate on, but if that is what it took to get Guilty Pleasure firing on all cylinders, that is what she was willing to do. The two had spent hours on the phone and every waking moment that they could training and refocusing themselves to take on the challenge of The Boardwalk Angels. Farrah and Zoey were a team in every sense of the word and if Kate and Kenzi were going to best them, they would have to match their unity. As individuals, Kenzi and Kate had proven their skill in the gold the two had managed to win, but if they wanted to win gold as a unit...they would need to become one and know each other, through and through. The two had come to a CTN sponsored gym in LA and had spent hours working on the fundamentals of tag teaming. It had been tiresome work, but it was starting to pay off as the two were actually starting to get a feel for one another...in more ways than one. Kate and Kenzi locked up for what seemed like the hundredth time, their bodies slick with sweat as they struggled for an advantage. Kate waited for Kenzi to try to cheat, as she always did, and as she showed her hand, the former LAW and Marquee Champion countered. Kate avoided Ken’s attempt to kick her in the shin and swept her to the mat, landing hard on top of her. Kenzi struggled, but Kate was too technically sound to be easily outmaneuvered. Kate moved Kenzi into a pin, holding her there with a grin as the Hexx star struggled, then was forced to give up.}
Kenzi: “DAMN IT! Okay! Let me up!”
Kate: COME ON KENZI!!!!! You got to think and fight smarter than that! I swear to God if you are the reason that I don’t become a Triple Crown winner I will… I will….
{Kate smiles evilly as she twists Kenzi into a pretzel. She uses her technical ability as she mounts herself on top of her with an evil grin.}
Kate: “Promise to be more rough than this. You need to pick it up. Don’t you want to prove the naysayers wrong?! Don’t you want to amount to much more than being the daughter of Sidney Grey and the sister of Nicky Silver?! Don’t you want to make a name for yourself instead of living off of someone else’s legacy?! If so step it up!
{Kenzi wrenched herself free with the added incentive that Kate gave her, straining as she rolled on top of Kate, taking the dominant, if not awkward position atop her partner. Kate gave her an encouraging smile, and Kenzi immediately hopped off.}
Kenzi: “Sorry about that Kate...I’ll do better, I promise…”
{The words of encouragement had been more than enough, but the smile that Kate had given her at the end weighed on her. She hated the fact that she was leading her partner on in this manner, but there seemed to be little choice given what they were up against. As Kenzi reset herself, Kate was on her in a flash, backing her up into the corner and pressing her body against hers in the corner. This time, Kenzi slipped between her legs and took Kate down with a schoolboy attempt, grabbing Kate’s tights as she held her down. Kate tried her best to break free but couldn’t as Kenzi was able to finally pick up a win. Kenzi broke the hold as Kate rose up to her feet. She clapped her hands as she offered a hand which Kenzi grabbed to pull herself up.}
Kate: “That’s exactly what I am talking about! You need to always be one step ahead. Be ahead of your opponent. These Angels really talk up a good game but they haven’t faced anyone like us before. All they do is talk shit let’s make them eat their words!”
{Kate smiled again.}
Kate: “You need to be at the top of your game. Do what you do best. If you have to cheat, cheat, but don’t make everything look so obvious. Your biggest flaw is everything you do is so telegraphed. Perhaps maybe you should wrestle like someone else. That is your thing. Use your actressing skills and confuse the bloody hell out of them or something! I trust you would know what to do when the time is right.”
{‘Cheat’ the word echoed inside Kenzi’s head as Kate said it, but it didn’t have the connotation that Kate had intended. Kenzi was still bothered by the idea that she was allowing Kate to think that they would be a couple after they won the titles. She knew that made her a terrible person, but was this really any different than Kate telling her to cheat to win? That is what she was doing after all...wasn’t it?}
{Kenzi took a breath and nodded, casting aside her thoughts of using Kate’s feelings. After the two of them came together and kicked the shit out of the champions, she’d deal with the rest later. Kenzi grinned at Kate as she pranced around the ring, mimicking Farrah.}
Kenzi: “Of course I know what to do! I’ll be #RatedF for Fake Ass Trick!”
{Kenzi laughed as she rolled eyes.}
Kenzi: “After our match, the only thing that is going to be flying are those Tag Team Titles...right out of those HashTag tramps hands and right into ours baby! Guilty Pleasure...new champs...pound it out!”
{Kenzi stuck out her fist. Kate shrugged her shoulders as she looked back at Kenzi.}
Kate: Are we talking about the British Pound? Because if so I am in! I can use all the Pounds to make us a good meal. How does celebrating with some good old beans and bangers sound?! Seems like such an amazing dish to have after we beat the hell out of those Angels. To think Farrah actually thinks she’s better than me. I am a much better singer than she will ever be, and Zoey is awful. Only magic trick that bitch will showcase is how fast she disappears from LAW after we take those straps. I have a really good feeling about this.”
{Kate smiles wickedly.}
Kate: “A really good one, and nobody will stop me from cementing my place as the first triple crown… I mean our place as Tag Team Champions. That’s what this has all been about right?!”
{Kenzi appreciated the fact that Kate corrected herself, but she had no illusions there. Kate’s legacy in LAW was important to her and there was nothing wrong with that. Kenzi took Kate’s hand and looked her right in the eye.}
Kenzi: “Kate, I know that you want to be the first triple crown champion in LAW...and I respect that it’s what’s driving you. Don’t apologize for it or think that it’s selfish...we all do selfish things to get what we want.”
{Her thoughts turned to what she was doing, leading Kate on. She hoped that the ends would justify the means. Kate reached over and caressed the side of Kenzi’s face, leaning in close to her.}
Kate: “We are going to get what we want! We are going to win those bloody titles...I’ll become a triple crown champion and you’ll get your second straight win at Validation...and then…”
{Kate moved in closer to Kenzi, their lips nearly touching.}
Kate: “You and I will finally be able to be together.”
{Kenzi gave an uncomfortable chuckle, but she recovered quickly, giving Kate a quick kiss on the cheek, then sent her into the ropes with an Irish whip. Kate rebounded and leaped over Kenzi as she dropped down. As she rebounded a second time, Kenzi went for a standing dropkick and Kate dodged it and dropped down on top of Kenzi. Kate grinned as she managed to pin Kenzi’s arms back, again having the girl at her mercy.}
Kate: “I keep falling for you...over and over again Kenzi!”
{Kenzi struggled in Kate’s grip.}
Kenzi: “Just make sure you don’t fall for Farrah or Zoey and we’ll be good!”
{Kenzi bridged out of the pin and rolled away as Kate bounced to her feet, ready to press the attack. Kenzi held up her hand.}
Kenzi: “OKAY! Enough for now, I’m dying over here as it is!”
{Kenzi scooted into the corner and Kate walked over, plopping down beside her, patting her leg...then letting it linger there.}
Kate: “Okay...five minutes lazy bones! Take one second longer and I’ll twist you into a pretzel!
{Kenzi looked down at the hand on her thigh, but she said nothing, only covered it with her own. She looked over at Kate.}
Kenzi: “Hey...thank you...for coming back. I was worried that you were gonna leave me high and dry.”
Kate: “Me? No way! I just needed some time to work this all out in my head Kenz, that’s all. I gotta tell you though, having that off my chest, makes all the difference! We can go into that match and just focus on what we need to do...period!”
{Kenzi nodded, knowing well the dangers of wrestling while distracted.}
Kenzi: “I let their games with all the Cornett stuff and the rumors about firing get to me. I’m finished with all of that now. This was supposed to be about the titles from the start, and that is where my focus is now! There is no better way to put an end to drama than a well placed punch in the mouth!”
Kate: “Same here Kenz...I let their trash talk get to me, but come Validation, the talk won’t matter. They have gotten use to hit and run tactics, but on Sunday we changed the game. We go right at them, head to head and let them know that playtime is over.”
{Kate laughed, laying her head on Kenzi’s shoulder.}
Kate: “Then our playtime can start.”
{Kenzi’s eyes grew big as she looked at Kate. She was tempted to shove her off as she put her hand on her head, but she stroked her blonde locks instead.}
Kenzi: “Yeah...then it can start…”
{Kate seemed content as she rested on Kenzi, enjoying the closeness she had dreamed of while she was away collecting her thoughts}
Kate: This match is really important to you...isn't? I mean...I want to be a triple crown champion and all...but it just seems like this one is...special some how.
{Kenzi took a deep breath as she answered Kate's question.}
Kenzi: Wrestling is supposed to be about the people in the ring...maybe they had beef outside of it, but it was always between the people in the ring. Farrah and Zoey came running into LAW screaming about shit that had nothing to do with then, and then they have the nerve to be make up shit and have their friends pile on...talking to LAW behind my back, trying to get me fired. That is dirty and low! If you want to cheat me in the ring...cheat, but don't make up shit to try to take away my dream. I love LAW, it has been my home for over two years. I bled and sacrificed a lot to be here. I deserve better from The Boardwalk Angels and from LAW management.
{Kenzi looks over at Kate.}
Kenzi: What about you? I mean, I know you want that triple crown...but, it seems kinda personal for you as well.
Kate: You're damn right it is! I was the very first LAW Champion! I accomplished something that very few have accomplished in this place, but where are my accolades? Where is my respect? I defeated one of the most dominant champions in the history of this company to become the Marquee Champion, but now they treat Mackenzie Roberts like she is the cock of the walk! I have accomplished more than she or anyone else in LAW and I deserve respect! That is what I am fighting for...that is why this is personal for me.
{The two sat there in the odd embrace for a moment or two until Kate finally sat up. She looked at Kenzi with a measured expression, then moved in closer.}
Kate: “What are you going to tell Sarah?”
{Kenzi pulled Kate’s hand off her leg as she stood up and gave a shrug of her shoulders. She moved to the corner, leaning into the ropes.}
Kenzi: “I’ll tell her the truth I guess…”
{Kate sprang to her feet, walking over to Kenzi and leaning against the ropes next to her. She smiled as she put her hand on Kenzi’s back, giving it a gentle rub.}
Kate: “I know that this is going to be hard for her, but I think you’re right. Just tell her straight. It really is the best way to deal with this sort of thing. She can go back to Transylvania and then the two of us can really do what we were meant to do...take over LAW as the founders of the two greatest factions in history! I mean...just think about it Kenz...after Validation...you and I walking through the halls of the arena...tag team gold around our waists and newly minted Katetourage shirts on our backs!”
Kenzi: “Katetourage?”
{Kate grinned and shrugged.}
Kate: “Pinktourage and Ladytourage both sounded stupid.”
{Kenzi laughed, rolling her eyes.}
Kenzi: “I think both of tho…”
{Kate leaned in and kissed Kenzi again, but before she could pull away, someone cleared their throat, getting the attention of both women. Kenzi stumbled away from Kate, her eyes wide as their manager, Ashley Marie Chase climbed onto the apron.}
AMC: “WOW! When you said you guys were back together...I didn’t think you meant...together/together!”
Kenzi: “It’s not what it looks like! I…”
{She looks at Kate, the firey Brit looking right back at her. Rather than shatter the illusion, she looks down at the mat.}
Kenzi: “Okay...it’s what it looks like.”
{Kate walked over, patting Kenzi on her behind then putting her arm around her. Giving her a good squeeze.}
Kate: “Don’t you worry! We will be thick as thieves tomorrow! This thing here, we are going to table this until we win those titles!”
{AMC looked at Kenzi and then shook her head as she stepped into the ring. She held up her hands.}
AMC: “I’m not sure of what is going on and to be honest, not sure that I care unless all of what you two have going on is going to affect you in the ring. If it is, tell me now before I go out there with you. I don’t want to get blindsided.”
Kate: “Trust me, our eyes are on the LAW Tag Team Titles. Kenzi and I are finally on the same sheet of music and on Sunday, the fat lady is going to be singing because the Boardwalk Angels bullshit title reign will finally be over! LAW left us hanging for Rising Stars and they made us wait four long months to get our shot at what she would have had back in January! It’s obvious that Farrah and Zoey were doing all that they could to derail us...and it nearly worked...huh Kenz?”
{Kate slapped Kenzi on the ass, causing her to jump. Kate laughed as she continued on.}
Kate: “Guilty Pleasure is tighter than ever...tighter than my partner’s bum! We are going to go into San Antonio and wreck shit!”
{Kenzi, blushing from the embarrassment, could only nod.}
Kenzi: “Yeah...gonna wreck them.”
{AMC folded her arms and looked at each of them in turn, then a smile spread across her face.}
AMC: “Good, because I am ready to add one more line to my managerial list of accomplishments...manager of the Ladies All-Star Wrestling Tag Team Champions! Now, bring it in!”
{Kate rushed in, urging Kenzi on as they shared a group hug. Guilty Pleasure, as dysfunctional as they had once been were finally on the same page...as far as being being a tag team. Whatever came after Validation...would be another matter entirely.}
So this is what everyone has been waiting for?!
You know out of all the matches that will be fought at Validation this match with the Boardwalk Angels is clearly the most anticipated match of the evening. This is the match that everyone has been waiting to see and more importantly than that there isn’t a match as personal on this entire card as the match between those stupid bloody wanker bitches and us. This feud, and match has gone through two entire Pay Per Views and at Validation one of us will receive the validation we have been seeking when we will see who the premier team between the two of us are?!
And in my eyes there isn’t a question in my mind who the superior team is. There’s no doubt that it hands down goes to Kenzi and I. I know the question that has been on everybody’s mind. Where exactly was I for these past few weeks. I wasn’t seen and nobody had heard from me since losing that three on three match, and to be honest I just wanted to center myself. I wanted to find some balance so that I could be focused. I could be right on track to really fuck a pair of bitches up and take what belongs to Kenzi and I.
Now as a team Farrah and Zoey are close friends. They have a connection that goes well beyond the amount of time that I have known Kenzi and you know what that’s fine. Just because you are all buddy buddy with one another doesn’t make you the better pair. When I first got into this business I was the tag team partner of my former lover Misty Whitmore. We were in it together and we were closer than anything else but when it came time to stepping through the confines of the ring. Things just never seemed to work out because Misty had one way of doing things, and I had a different vision altogether.
In the end despite how close we were, despite us becoming best friends we really never had the success that we desperately wanted too. You two might be able to fool everyone into thinking you are a somewhat decent team but in all honestly the hype doesn’t go with the actual skill level of your team. You just happened to be in the right place at the right time and were able to seize the moment.
Does that make you a better team than us?! No because when it was Kenzi and I taking on you two twats early into your LAW career we ended up wrestling to a draw. We wrestled to a draw because things got out of control really fast and the match had to basically be thrown out.
Yet as that match concluded you two were somehow granted a chance to become tag team number one contenders and Kenzi and I were left on the backburner. Left to watch as the company screw us over out of our opportunity and our chance for ascension,
Someone in the office most love you two because while the both of you get a chance to team up and practice your craft of teaming up with one another and being on the same page. It really seems that the figure heads in LAW are out to make sure that Kenzi and I don’t exist as a team. I bet they don’t even want us as a team. We were a team longer than you two ever were in this company and we can’t even get a tag team portrait while you two are shown in your glory.
It’s absolute bullshit and I demand a little more respect than that. I sold out arenas and various shows in my first year of being here. I am this fucking company, and was the very first World Champion to be crowned here. I should get the royal treatment and Kenzi is a second generation star. She is a woman who had to deal with having Sidney Grey as a mother, and yes things were rough for her in the beginning of her LAW career but she was able to pick herself up out of the shadow of her horrible mother.
She was able to fight some of her personal demons and she went on to have a wonderful reign as Chaos Champion, and yet she still doesn’t get any respect. Hell we don’t get any respect and everybody in this company knows that in itself is a load of horse shit.
Why can’t we get treated in the same way that everyone else gets treated?! Why are we the ones to get the black sheep treatment while others get the spotlight and everything that goes with it?! The fact is deep down Kenzi and I have this strange and unique relationship to us.
We have been at each other’s necks since the moment that we came into contact with one another. Every time we perform on stage together we do our very best to one up one another. Every time we film something for CTN we try to out act the other, and we have always been like that. Whether it was the Pink Ladies and the Kentourage at each other’s throats or us trying to kill one another. We have this undying need to be better than one another.
With ingredients like that it has all the makings to be one big train wreck but honestly we both know what it’s like to come together, and nothing will outshine the amount of publicity that will come with being the LAW Tag Team Champions. At the end of the day that is what it has always been about and me and Kenzi want that more than you two could ever realize. We breathe gold and we do whatever it takes to get those titles around our waist.
For Kenzi getting gold brings on respect, and it basically a big fuck you to all the naysayers who thought she was the horrendous fluke who was only out there for a laugh with alize platinum. Yet look at her now?! She’s got a title reign under her she’s got singles wins over a Queen of the Ring and other big time wrestlers in this company, and she’s the one who’s laughing.
And of course it’s no secret why I want to be a triple crowner in this company. I feel like it’s the only way to get any bloody respect. I love Violet to death she’s one of my closest friends she’s like a sister and she has named me as one of Lavender’s Godmothers. But it’s a little horseshit that she has made her way into the Hall of Fame for being a Pink Lady cofounder and the first ever Marquee Champion.
Where is my respect?! Where is my right to be in that damn hall of fame?!
It should mean something that I was the first World Champion. It should mean something that I ended Nyako’s title reign and career. Hell I even was Oni’s last match which I won by the way, and had a Marquee reign longer than Violet. Yet I get put on the backburner for what reason?!
My statistics are more than enough to get me in there yet I don’t get the respect that I deserve. It just seems like useless cunts like the Angels are getting attention that should be on me.
We get it the Angels are here to be THE tag team to beat. They are here to raise the bar but as much as they want to ride their high horses assuming that they actually accomplished something the reality is their big title win deserves a big asterisk right next to it. It should read won titles because Guilty Pleasure was not involved in the match. They get handed a contention match while we got left out of the equation. The Angels haven’t beaten us. Sure they may have won a three on three match but when it comes to the actual team.
They just never beat us and I doubt they ever could. Despite what they might tell you it’s all a façade and a bunch of bullshit.
The only reason why they might appear to be a stronger team is because they get the exposure that should have been on us. We won the number one contender match at the last Pay Per View. All of the focus should have been squarely on our team. It should have been about LAW strengthening us as a team, and yet we don’t get the chance to shine because they want to shove Crystal down Kenzi’s throat. They want to shove Dazi down Kenzi’s throat, and put Kenzi through the wire when it should have been about what Guilty Pleasure is about.
And instead of letting Kenzi and I test our ability and skills against formidable teams I get stuck having to face people like Millar, people like Amirai when I should have been with Kenzi. Smells like crap to me but it’s whatever because if the company doesn’t want to give us the focus that we deserve that’s when we make sure everybody knows it’s all about us. That’s why we decided to make Kenzi’s match with Crystal a handicapped match because we wanted the world to know that Guilty Pleasure is the team you all might hate seeing formed up but it’s the team you are going to be force fed.
It’s the team you are going to get whether you like it or not, and there’s not a single thing that anybody or anything can do to stop it. You want to step up to the plate you are going to eventually get crushed it’s as simple as that.
Besides you think I can respect the Angels beating the Naughty Girls for the championship?! Who exactly are the Naughty Girls anyway?! A team that happened to beat the life out of the one hit wonders of the Fireshock sisters who are gone, who beat the one hit wonders of the Frienemies who are gone.
It’s really pathetic when you think about it. The landscape of tag team wrestling in LAW was a joke and Kenzi and I were to be the saviors. Our dysfunction was going to bring entertainment, our antics were going to take the division to a whole another level and yet that went out the window the moment the Angels stepped on the scene.
It doesn’t matter though because Kenzi and I will get our way in one way or another, and there isn’t anything you can do to stop it. If for some reason you do win Kenzi and I will get involved in every single match of yours. We will make the division about us and will steal all of the spotlight. You two don’t get off that easy. Not now and not ever.
I bet you winning the championships in the first place was because Zoey’s lover from the Naughty Girls felt sorry for you. I bet it was planned she would drop the belt in the same way that Kenzi and Sarah trade the Fucking Awful Worthless Hardcore Championship in matches at the home that nobody cares about. It’s the same thing right?!
You two are a joke and when you getting involved with the Angels gets the entire Cornett peanut gallery involved. It’s gets all of the fucking stooges like Kate Bass and JMC involved in what should be between us.
But you know what bring whoever you want because it still wouldn’t make a difference. Kenzi and I fight our own battles and we don’t give a damn who has something to say against us because we fight our own. We don’t need anyone out there we simply do what we do.
As soon as the bell rings you better expect everything under the sun to happen because Kenzi and I have but one plan when the match begins. Do whatever it takes to become tag team champions. Once we become champions everything else will follow suit. More media on us, more attention, and you definitely will get us shoving ourselves down your throats.
You better get used to it because we will walk out as champions.
I will be damned if we let a woman who thinks she can sing better than us out class us, and we can see through the other’s fake ass tricks.
What will happen on Sunday won’t be a magic trick. It will be reality and you better get used to it. Although if you want to see real magic just wait until Sunday. Kenzi and I will make those tag straps disappeared, and it will be in the span of three seconds.
1…2…3… Poof and they will be gone.
Come Validation the two of you will be shipwrecked as we introduce you to the final song that you will ever hear. A Siren’s Song and it will lead to your demise.
See you bitches then.
