Before I get into this roleplay, a quick blurp about ALCW. ALCW is simulated fed that I made a few years back to base angles on and to have people try out new things on the shows to develop their characters without waiting for the main show to book them. People added characters to the roster to angle with and made appearances on the ALCW shows to push their angles. This seemed like a fun and perfect way to push this character and have some extra fun interacting with others. ALCW will have actual shows, but they won't be anything on the order of a LAW event...just simmed results and maybe an angle or two for good measure. Anyone who wants to jump in is welcome to do so...just hit me up for the particulars and I'll get you set up. Until then...let's get on with this very first installment...featuring a favorite duo of mine!
A-LIST CHAMPIONSHIP WRESTLING ARENA
Los Angles, California
6 August 2015
Kenzi was nervous as her plane landed in Los Angeles and her car picked her up to head to the A-List Championship Wrestling complex. Though she was excited at getting another chance inside a wrestling ring, the sting she felt from the brutal defeat at the hands of Keira Fisher still hurt. She has hastily signed with ALCW after the jabs from Maleek Raheem…a man she had a shared history with and had never liked. She wanted to prove the man wrong…she wanted to prove the entire world wrong!
Violet had warned her against joining the indy federation, but she had rebelled and joined anyway…now that it was a reality…she wondered if it was too late to change her mind. There would be shame in quitting…there would be LOTS of shame in it, but that would probably beat the pain of another crushing and embarrassing defeat. Still, if she persevered and learned her craft properly…she would silence all of her doubters. That idea is what kept her going…that is what made her gut it all out.
As the car pulled up to the arena, she was struck by how professional everything looked. She was expecting a BINGO hall or an Armory…but this place looked like an actual arena, though smaller than the ones in LAW. As soon as she stepped out side, she was greeted by the grinning face of Maleek Raheem, and immediately her mood turned sour.
Raheem walked over, grinning at Kenzi as he paid the car service. As the car pulled off, he stood back and looked her up and down. “I gotta say, a brotha half expected you not to show.”
Kenzi sighed, “Had I known that you would be the welcoming committee, I might not have.” She walked past him and looked at the building again, still impressed by the view. “Pretty cool digs though…nicer than I thought.”
Raheem walked over beside her, looking at the building as well. “Yeah…when the last parent company folded, ALCW didn’t have a home…but we were able to pull some funding together and get this place with assurances from CTN. Should be nice…but we still need eyes on the product to make it…” He looked down at Kenzi, “…and that is where you come in!”
She planted her hands on her hips, “So! Violet was right? You just want me for my star power?”
Raheem laughed out loud. “Vi is a smart one! Yes, I want your ‘star power’ such as it is…but don’t go getting a big head…you were in one movie…that might put you on the D-list…maybe!”
Kenzi snorted, “Whatever…you need me…bottom line, right?”
Raheem stared at her for a moment, then sighed as he brushed past her and headed towards the building. “Come on! Let me show you around.”
Kenzi chuckled, “Yeah…you need me.” She followed him inside as he took her on a tour of the facility.
Inside the building, there was everything that was needed to put on a weekly wrestling program, from broadcast equipment to a mid-sized arena, which was capable of holding a few thousand people. He took her through the training rooms, were there was all manner of modern equipment, which would rival those in LAW…though on a much smaller scale. The tour ended, as it should have, inside the ALCW wrestling ring.
Raheem climbed inside and held the ropes open for her as he gestured for her to come side. “Here…you want to check it out and see how it feels?”
Kenzi stood there for a moment, just staring at him. “You just want to look at my ass as I get in the ring!”
Raheem smirked, “I got a girlfriend…I don’t think Ny would appreciate me lookin’ at yo’ ass, feel me?”
Kenzi returned his smirk with one of her own. “Well, I don’t see her around here right now…so I hardly think that matters to you!”
Raheem laughed and nodded, “Fair enough, I…”
Before he could finish, Kenzi was bumped from behind. She turned around, with a pissed look on her face only to come face to face with a pair of women who were giving her the stink eye, one black and the other white. The white girl stood back, eyeing her dispassionately, but the black girl seemed to be spoiling for a fight. Kenzi balled up her fists at her sides. “Excuse you?! Do you have a problem?!”
The thin black girl with an obvious attitude got right in her face. “Yeah, I got a problem with you BITCH! This is our house…and your ass is trespassing! You think you coming in here and making it yours…but that shit don’t fly with me and my girl Lexi.”
She looked over at her friend and the white girl nodded, “No Chantal…it doesn’t fly around here.”
Chantal turned back to Kenzi. “You should consider taking your punk ass back to Hollywood where you can make some more fake ass space-gangster movies before you get hurt…like your old ass moms did!”
Kenzi narrowed her eyes and stepped to the woman, but her friend, Lexi was right there to tip the balance. Kenzi pulled up short, then she squared off against the two of them. If she wanted the respect of the ALCW alum, she would have to be ready to fight for it. “I’m not here to take anyone’s spot…I’m just looking to do me!” She looked at the two women, sizing them up. “If you want to make it personal…we can do that too!”
Lexi grinned as she tapped her friend, “I guess she told us, huh?”
Chantal drew back her fist, but before she could hit Kenzi, Raheem spoke up and stopped her. “Throw that punch and yo’ ass is out of the match this weekend!”
The woman glared at Raheem, but didn’t put her fist down until Lexi pulled it down for her. Lexi whispered in her friends ear and then called out to Raheem. “It’s cool J.T., everything is cool!”
Raheem rolled his eyes, “Chill wit’that J.T. shit!”
Lexi winked at him and grabbed Chantal, but she held fast as she stared at Kenzi. “Better watch your back this weekend…you’re gonna need a lot of special effects to look normal again after I get done with you’re ass…TRICK!”
Kenzi didn’t back down as she returned the glare. “I’ll see you there you gutter rat bitch!”
Lexi had to drag Chantal away to keep her from hitting Kenzi, but the girl held her ground. As the two disappeared, Raheem appeared beside her. “I hope you ready…gonna be a lot of shit like that thrown yo’ way from people like them.”
Kenzi glanced at him. “Them, I can handle…I’m going to prove them and everyone like them wrong. I only need you to do one thing for me…”
Raheem looked surprised, “Me? What’s that?”
“I want you to send Joanna a ticket to the show for the 8th…fly her in and pay for it if you have to. I want her to see that I am not going to be a push over in our match. Its not going to be a cakewalk for her or anyone else! GOT IT?!”
Raheem watched at Kenzi turned and walked away. He cocked his head to side as he watched her leave.
She yelled, without looking. “AND STOP STARING AT MY ASS!”
He erupted into laughter, “AINT NOBODY LOOKIN’ AT YOU!”
He sighed as he shook his head and the scene faded to black.
