I didn’t think this would happen so soon, I knew eventually it would but I didn’t think it would happen now.
I am certainly not ready for this match, in no way shape or form. I was out of my league last week and was able to sneak a victory out, I won’t lie Crystal was beating me down pretty badly, but, I told you last week if there is one thing that you will learn about me, it is that I don’t give up easily, and I know that I am going to be on the receiving end of many verbal barbs and attempts at juvenile humor this week, that I really am at a loss of what to say.
See, Zelda has never really liked me, and that isn’t just me being an analyst and looking into things too deeply. I know that she never approved of her father marrying me and I understand that, no young girl wants there Daddy to get married to some strange woman, the only problem is that Zelda, you aren’t a little girl anymore. You are well into your twenties, you are an adult but for some reason you are stuck in the mean girl era. Perhaps you have become too hyped up filling pages of your burn book in order to grow up but you are going to have to get over it.
Talk about an Electra complex. I mean, people think the Oedipal Complex is bad.
But regardless of that, you in my opinion are the best women’s wrestler ever to walk on the earth and the daughter of my husband, as badly as I want to be a confident self-assured woman this week, I won’t like I am kind of scared as shit. This isn’t a great matchup for me at all, you are tough, experienced, young, crafty and I…
Am really damn good at the inside cradle and schoolboy roll-up.
So what is my plan, what chance in hell do I have wrestling against someone who is better than me in every single facet of the wrestling game? Well, I guess I am going to have to use the only thing I could even construe as a weakness, and that is Zelda’s temper. Perhaps, perhaps if I am able to get under your skin I can cause you to go over the deep end, perhaps I can lure you into a situation where you make a bad mistake, and then I will capitalize on it Zelda.
You are great in that ring, you are truly something special you are as close as a person can be to perfect, but perfection is unattainable. There is always some weakness in even the greatest fortress and I am motivated to find that weakness Zelda, because if I am able to get through you, then I will know that I belong here, I will know that despite what everyone has said to me that I belong in the ring with the very best.
That is my destiny, this will be my legacy.
I will not surrender it to a child.
{The Doc sits with her husband on the couch, she has a detached look on her face and the hulking monstrosity known as Gib sits next to her. He has tears forming in his eyes, the camera pans to the screen and we see the ending of Chocolate starring Johnny Depp. Gib stands clapping his hands and nearly throwing his wife off the couch, as her legs were nestled over his}
Gib: Jesus fuckin’ Christ that was beautiful. I mean, really, love is grand, love is splendid.
{He turns and lifts Doc into the air and smiles}
Gib: And I have it right here, I have love, love, loooove!
{She looks like a child cradled in this massive teddy bears arms, this man who was known throughout the world for fighting in the most brutal death matches in Japan and for his series of debilitating matches with Terry Funk in the United States is reduced to a child with a movie, a bottle of red wine and the love of his life.}
Gib: Aren’t we lucky to have found a love like this. I mean, a love that rivals that of one Mr. Johnny Depp that beautiful man.
{The Doc smiles at this at Gib places her gently back on the couch}
Doc: Sounds like you have a crush on him.
Gib: Of course I do, those eyes, that look. My god…
{He looks at the smirk on her face and slumps back onto the couch. He falls next to her}
Gib: I mean, the chick in this music is one fine piece of ass, I mean, look at her titties.
{He reaches out and grabs his face}
Doc: I like the other guy, the one that enjoys Johnny Depp and can admit to having a man crush.
{He smiles}
Doc: I had the other type of husband before, the one that couldn’t admit to love, the one that couldn’t show that he cares.
Gib: You don’t talk much about him, I feel like I talk about Sophia all the time.
Doc: Well you had a great love with her, my relationship consisted most of getting hit when I did something wrong or being belittled constantly for my desire to improve myself. It was necessary though, I couldn’t get through college without financial support, and well at least he provided that.
{Gib’s demeanor changes, to that of a bear}
Gib: He put his hands on you, I had no idea. What is his name? I will go after him right now and beat him within an inch of his life, I will crush him under the immense weight of my masculinity and anger, I will.
Doc: It isn’t necessary; he got what was coming to him. He fell into a severe cocaine habit, worse then when he was abusive. He lost everything he had including me.
Gib: I am glad he was a complete asshole, that way I don’t have to compete with some Denzel Washington son of a bitch, I mean now there is a dreamboat.
{He smiles and nestles her head into his side}
Doc: I would choose you over him any day.
Gib: Then you have bad taste, because that man is a handsome son of a…
{She kisses him, shutting him up and leading us to a scene fade}
I know I haven’t been wrestling long Zelda, and I know that there is something special about you. Your father has told me all about the Famularo legacy, one that I hope to be connected to some time, but please don’t take my lack of experience in wrestling as a lack of experience fighting.
I have been fighting a long time.
I fought through a childhood to find my way. I used it as motivation not as an excuse; I used it as a way to drive myself to reach a career and a life I never thought I could have. I used it, much like you used your worthless father as a driving force to becoming the very best at what you do.
My father was abusive.
My husband was abusive.
We have a lot more in common than you think Zelda, we could get along, and we could be friends. I don’t want to be your mother but I don’t see a reason that we can’t be close. I know you didn’t approve of your father marrying me, but I love him more than I have loved anything in my life, and I want him to have happiness.
The happiness he lost when his wife passed away.
The happiness he thought he would never have when his son turned on him.
The happiness that he had when he first told you that he was your father. My god he loves you, and other then telling me that I have no chance against you this week, he has refused to tell me anything that would allow me to gain the upper hand on the apple of his eye.
And that just makes me love him more.
I love him because he is a great father, not for the fact that at one point of his life he was a horrible alcoholic hurting people that he loved and pushing them away. Not for the fact that he is rich and famous, I have my own money.
I love him for him. And I want you to understand that Zelda, I want you to know that the love I have for your father is amazing and wonderful and true.
And I hope eternal.
The same eternal love that he holds for you and your brother.
And perhaps you are the reason I started wrestling, Xander accepted me, but you have done nothing but push me away. I just want you to understand how much being part of the family means to me.
I wanted you to understand that I am willing to go to any lengths to show my love for your family.
And so I started training, I started learning how to wrestle. I started doing something to prove to you that I care.
I hope you see it Zelda, because I am in this for the long haul and it would be much easier if you were to hop on board.
In the ring, you are the better person.
But I not a pushover, I have proven that recently.
This week I will prove to you how seriously I took this venture, and that you are one of the reasons I embarked on this journey.
Maybe someday we will be on the same side of the ring.
As tag champs.
But until then, you are the major obstacle in my way.
To impressing you.
{For the first time in LAW we see the former world champion of many places Xander the son of Gib and the stepson of The Doc. The two of them sit in the middle of a wrestling ring, located in the basement of Gib’s luxurious estate}
Xander: Look, my sister, she is a tough cookie. There was a time that I would do anything for her, so much in fact that I went to a dark place. She has a dark place Doc and I am afraid that this match could bring out the worst in her.
Doc: The Herald?
Xander: Yeah, she was scary for sure.
Doc: I know, I watched the tape.
Xander: And family stuff sets her off, I mean, she had a pretty shitty life until recently. She has some serious daddy issues, and now that she has a stable father she is going to do anything to protect that.
Doc: I don’t want to take that from her.
Xander: But you are a female taking some of her father’s adoration.
Doc: That is true, I mean I could joke about the Electra Complex, but it seems to fit here.
Xander: Yeah, you are smart, blah, blah, blah.
Doc: The key to solving the Electra Complex is when the person who seeks the adoration actually changes the adoration to the same sex parent.
Xander: Unfortunately her mom is dead.
Doc: But I am not.
Xander: Yeah, but she pretty much doesn’t like you. That isn’t going to happen.
Doc: I know, but what if I can make progress, let her know that I am trying to get on her good side.
Xander: It may send her over the edge. Look, all that is well and good, but this week you need to focus on one thing and one thing only.
Doc: And that is?
Xander: The La Magistral cradle. It is like a rollup, but like totally more badass.
Doc: Sounds complicated.
Xander: I will show you, it really isn’t that hard, and well, you seem to have a pretty nasty small package.
Doc: That is what I have heard about you.
Xander: Yeah, well… Hey… Did you just bust my balls?
Doc: Maybe.
Xander: That was a good one. No wonder Dad loves you.
