[ON-CAMERA]
The scene opens at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, where we see Dalton Smithers rush toward the view of the camera, carrying what is to be some kind of scroll, to which he begins to read from it.
Smithers: Hear She! Hear She! It is with great honor to announce the arrival of the woman who is the superior in every way there is; a woman who towers over the rest and will do the same as the face of Ladies All-Star Wrestling. She is a woman of dominant grace. Loved by her admirers, lusted by "no-chance" suitors, feared by inferiors as she swats them down in....
SMITHERS!!!!
The bellowing of the familiar female voice brings him into shivers, more along the lines of excitement for he is too hyped about his role in this special message. But he has enough sense not to upset her, so he clears his throat and cuts his words short.
Smithers: I present to you the next L.A.W. Queen of the Ring..."The Alpha Female" Delilah Rayne.
After making his announcement he turns and gets down on one knee with his head bowed down. Before long, Delilah Rayne approaches him and sees him kneeling before her in a sign of respect.
Delilah: Thank you, Smithers. Your introduction was quite decent.
He looks up and notices Delilah tantalizing his eyes with her beauty….and her exquisite “regal” attire.
Smithers: Of course, my vision of titanic proportions. You are clearly better than all the women in that tournament. And furthermore....
Delilah: Smithers?
Smithers: Yes?
He looks up and sees Delilah raise an eyebrow at him.
Smithers: I know, I know. Shut up.
Smithers excuses himself by rising to his feet and backing away from Delilah, who simply rolls her eyes and slightly shakes her head in response. After taking time “dismissing her distraction” she begins to walk alone in the art exhibit. Delilah is taken in by the paintings and stops in front of a one that piques her interest.
Delilah: Wu Zetian…The only female in Chinese history to rule as emperor. She did so during the Tang dynasty. Quite unheard of during that time, but she challenged Confucian beliefs against rule by women, thus marking her name in history.
Delilah walks toward another painting.
Delilah: Hatshepsut…The daughter of a pharaoh and a queen, claimed the real power to the throne while married to her half-brother, the Pharaoh Totmes II. She exercised supreme power when she took over the government as Regent for her husband’s six year old son by a concubine. She surrounded herself with men of outstanding administrative intellectual ability, and when her position was strong enough, she renounced the regency and declared herself Pharaoh.
A smirk comes across her face for a second before she walks toward another painting.
Delilah: Catherine the Second…Catherine the Great. A German princess who acceded the throne from her husband and ruled over Russia for about 34 years, giving it recognition as one of the great powers of Europe.
These are empowering women of history; strong in power….strong in ambition. They all have set their marks and enforced it, imposing their will upon everyone who has or dared to challenge them. Never were they held down by the whims of their surroundings that oppressed them. They saw challenges and excelled in them. These women have passed on centuries ago. And yet, their accomplishments are still being praised by millions all over the world today, and will continue to be in the years to come. This is their legacy. And in Boston in a few days, another legacy may be just as celebrated.
It is at this time that Delilah turns to face the camera. She begins to walk with the camera in front of her, following her every move as she begins to speak.
Delilah: This is going to be an important night for the women competing in this Queen of the Ring tournament. And rightfully so because what's at stake is what a woman in LAW would dream about, the right to become Queen Of The Ring & a guaranteed opportunity to challenge for the LAW Championship, which very much recognizes you into being the #1 woman wrestler in LAW. Usually in a tournament, you really can't tell who will stand out as the winner because all who has qualified would be on equal footing, making it anyone's tournament to win.
I said A tournament...not THIS one.
Delilah takes a moment to place some of her long hair behind her ear before focusing on the camera again.
Delilah: I've seen the other competitors. And I will say it; the classification is very much clear because there is only ONE woman who is most capable of winning this tournament. And that woman is physically superior and is viewed by many as the future of L.A.W....an "Alpha Female". I'm stronger than every woman in this tournament combined. I have more athleticism in my pinky finger than most of them have in their entire bodies. And I don't need to have my ego stroked or reinforcement of confidence to win this tournament. And do you know why? Because I'm a fierce competitor. This tournament is made for me to win. And the reality for each of you is....you all know it too. So you can very much see that though on record it will be eight women competing to be Queen of the Ring in a few short night, the reality is it’s going to be the seven of you keeping me from becoming Queen of the Ring...and I wouldn't have wanted it any other way.
Then, from out of the blue, Smithers jumps into the frame again, in front of Delilah, in an excited state. Delilah is less than thrilled about his interruption.
Smithers: OHHHHHHHH, YEAHHHH! You all have absolutely, positively, NO IDEA what’s you’re getting into. And pretty soon, you all gonna be sorry that you ever even thought that you can survive this ultimate symbol of perfection. Beauty, power, intelligence, and competitive spirit. This woman here is not just an Alpha Female….she’s a GODDESS! A tride and true GODDESS in every way that counts. And just like a powerful deity, she will crush you like a…
Delilah: What are you doing?
For a second, Smithers stands catatonic as he hears her sultry voice. He slowly turns around and sees Delilah standing with one hand on her hip and giving him the stink eye.
Smithers: I was just letting the people know how awesome you are. Obviously they need to know there is no woman on the L.A.W. roster that can measure up to you in ANY facet they can...
Delilah: SMITHERS!
Smithers: Yes, my delectable superior?
Smithers notices that her stink eye has transform to an intense evil glare, obviously sending different kind of shivers down his spine.
Smithers: Oh, right. I go now.
Smithers make his escape and leaves Delilah alone. She couldn’t help but shake her head after what she has experienced. But she had no time to dwell on the small stuff so she collects herself and continues to stroll while looking into the camera again.
Delilah: I made it no surprise about my intentions in LAW when I first arrived here. And now, after a few months in, I’ve never been more clear nor defiant about it. Obviously there are many who blast me for being too big for my britches and not being more compassionate about my fellow wrestlers on the roster. I train myself and bust my ass to be the best. And just because I'm "gifted", people feel that I am being arrogant. Me? I scoff at the idea. Instead, I've been laying down the gauntlet, giving the other women, who was not a champion, a chance to prove to me that they are not inferior....only to have them being stepped on & walking past them to get me one step closer to proving my point. And this makes me arrogant how?....
And now, with this Queen of the Ring tournament, there is nothing more fitting to solidify what I've been saying all along by knocking off these women the only way I know how and take my rightful place as the sole survivor, sitting on top of that mountain with a better view of you scattering beneath me and the realization that I am within reach of climbing higher to reach my ultimate goal: to become L.A.W. Champion. Does this make me a selfish bitch? Maybe to some people. But those people are usually clueless or just too stubborn to accept that there is a big picture in all of this. And baby, I’m the main attraction in that picture.
I have trained & continue to train hard for this business because I respect this business. There is nothing more thrilling to me than systematically decimating the best competition both physically and mentally; especially those who pride themselves on being "unbreakable". Yes, I am gifted with athletic prowess and a physique to match. But make no mistake; I didn’t get to where I am by not putting my body to work; to hone my skills match after match so I can get better. And all of you should be honored that I’m doing this, especially to my fellow women wrestlers on the roster. I am destined to be a trailblazer. But I'm not going to set it with you all by my side. I'm doing it to rule over you.
Delilah drives her point across gives a moan as she giggles, obviously pleased with the words she just presented.
Delilah: To all the women competing in this tournament with me, I will not classify you fully as bugs that I can easily squish under my heel, although some of you are very much genuine when it comes to that distinction. Every one of you found your way into this tremendous opportunity through the hard work you’ve done and brings something to the table in this tournament. I'm just going to bring to your attention of me being your roadblock, because if you haven't been noticing, not only have I’ve been beating people, but I’ve been making a statement at the expense of others. And it's getting stronger and stronger within each match. And while others are worried about the competition, I embrace it. I want to you to do well and take advantage of every opportunity that is given to you in the company, especially in this tournament. The important thing is that while you flap your lips about what you wish to achieve in this tournament, you all are standing in my way. And in my world, those who stand in my way will perish before me. They will realize they have made the wrong choice in their path. They will come to the terms that I am superior to them in every way in that ring. And they, as will all of you, will solidify their admission by bowing and succumbing to me, knowing that I am the only one who’s destined to be on top. Don't call this being narcissistic. Don't even call this being cocky and arrogant. Those things are reserved for those who live on false pretenses of themselves being something that they're not. That doesn't qualify me, not even one bit. I am clearly the toughest obstacle for anyone to overcome. And I can be a ruthless bitch if the things I want are held back from me. And if you want some kind of verification, just see what I’m going to do in this tournament. And who are these women who will be the centerpiece of the group holding me back in winning this thing. Let’s look at the six that I could be looking across the ring at…
At this point, Delilah makes a stop in front of a statue, continuing to focus on the camera.
Delilah: Marianne Drew, a cute little number who has this belief that people love her; love her because she’s cute. Whether or not people buy your act in being a super bubbly nerd is irrelevant. But what’s raising my eyes about you is that you’re pretty light on her feet and capable to be a little crafty when you need to. And it has proved her very well in securing key victories. As revolting as this sounds, but I heard some people say that you are sweet and good enough to eat. And I can say, I very much have a sweet tooth. And with that being said, you are just the cute little morsel that will be just fine enough for me to devour after I’m done with hurting you and send you packing.
Lucy Seraphina....my tall Russian vixen. There’s not much to be said about you other than the curiosity of what you’re capable of in the ring, judging by what I've seen in your profile; and it does show promise. Then, there’s the major plus being that your success has been based on being a tag team specialist. That and being a strange & mysterious woman can be very much a catalyst when you use your unpredictability to advantage. Well, let me assure you this little insight, Lucy. Obviously this will be the first time you will be seeing action against me. And I could give a damn what you've done elsewhere and what you’re willing to do here. I’m pretty sure that whatever you have planned for if we meet, it will be short lived because after you endure my impressionable strength and my merciless array of unconditional torture, you will never want to wrestle me again, maybe even wrestle here period. And you sweet little “Mistress” won’t be able to save you.
Delilah extends her index finger to the camera and shakes it from side to side, giving a “tsk, tsk, tsk,” gesture, making sure her point hits her prospective opponent hard. Just then, Delilah continues to stroll across the area.
Delilah: Alex Yin. You are a fiery little one are you? Granted you did defeat and outsmart a tough opponent, and I use that term very loosely, in Joanna Tarzanna to get in the tournament. But just because you done that, you believe that’s going to be enough to get you through this tournament? Especially if you end up being locked up with me. If I remembered correctly the last time I had contact with you, my little crumpet, I made you tap out. Sure you made it entertaining prolonging the inevitable with your offense, and you shared time with a tag team partner, but the result was still the same. One of the things I like to do dorks like you is to make them my bitches after they surrender to me. You know make them run my errands, carry my bags, even rub my feet if I tell them to. Lucky for you, you won’t have to do any of that, Alex. Just me walking all over you and then kicking your ass all over the ring one more time will do just fine. Kind of ironic that’s the same plan I have for your little friend” Jenny Williams…
Oh, Jenny. You have every right to be furious with me. But take in solace that to date, you have been my favorite opponent. And the reason for that is quite simple…you just don’t get it. You’ve been in the ring with me twice already. And it’s the same number of times that you have fallen. What makes you think this time around will be any different? Twice you went all out with your quickness & aerialist techniques only to find yourself grounded and crushed. But now the stakes are even higher. And for me to bypass how you got to compete here will be foolish on my part. But what I won’t be foolish about are your chances to survive me again when the opportunity presents itself in this tournament. And maybe…JUST maybe, you’ll finally get it.
If there ever was a person in this tournament that has high expectations behind them it’s you, Skye Sparks. And why not? You have held yourself well these past few weeks. Winning the final spot in the tournament was a big deal, especially when one of the opponents was indeed a former champion in Gabrielle Camacho. So that alone should give you a lot of momentum coming into this tournament; maybe even a solid ride to go all the way to winning this huge accomplishment. I mean a woman who is well versed in being a take-no-prisoners kind of a woman who will go by any means necessary to get what she wants puts you right there in being a legitimate threat. But you’ve heard that before haven’t you, Skye? As a matter of fact, you’ve been in big time scenarios like this before. And with all those championship opportunities you’ve had in the past, they all seem to share the same problem: just when you had the moment seized in your favor….you choke at the last minute. I know that bothers you, Skye. That thought should be centerpiece in your mind because making it to this tournament is the worst place you want to be, especially when I am the one of the competitors. I have no may have no qualms with you, Skye, and that’s going to make it much more pleasant for me to add yet another “choke” situation to your L.A.W. career.
Keeping on the same wavelength of being legitimate threats, there’s Mackenzie Roberts. Despite the fact that you almost cost us that tag match at the last LAW show against two dorks, I haven’t changed my opinion about you. Not in the least. I adore seeing other women knowing what they want, and caring less about who she hurts to get it. Actually….it gives me chills seeing such women like you of your character. And like me, you look down on everyone who are beneath you. There are so much more that you can be taught, darling. More enticing than anything you've ever experienced in your life. But this right here, is about domination of a different medium; MY domination, one to which I know you’re not going to like. You need to understand, Mackenzie that there is only room for ONE dominant female in this tournament, much less L.A.W. And with that being said, you will do down just the same…tasting your own pain and suffering, but in an entirely new level you've ever experienced. Because as much as I have an interest in you and in some ways, we are a lot alike, that doesn't, and will not, mean I won’t take you out of this picture, especially when it has to do with something that I want.
These women, no matter how much I think of them, are set to be my obstacles on my way to becoming Queen of the Ring. And that brings me to one woman who wants this as bad as I do….my opponent Crystal Hilton.
I've been watching you, Crystal. I've studied how you operated in the ring. Everything you do has a reason behind it. Your experience is well noted and has been very significant to your success. Plus, you have a lot of heart & determination. Let’s face it Crystal; you and I are one of the same. Not so fast, sweetie…the difference is you have never been in the ring with me. So even if you saw what I can do in the ring, your vast experience that you can't prepare for me as an opponent. That may have worked with those on your level in that regard, but not to one who’s obviously bigger than you but has highly superior technique and knows how to use every inch that ring to her advantage. And as sharp as you are in your focus, if you get past your somewhat eccentric behavior and your willingness to go “all-or nothing” out there, it’s nearly flawless and has helped you greatly. Naturally you’ll manage to slip off your game when the pressure gets hot. And with me, a split second is a lifetime that you would be around to regret dearly…very costly slip-ups. Those you want desperately to take back. This can't possibly work well for your psyche. And it shouldn't be because when it comes to me capitalizing on your misstep, let's put it this way, love...my foot is firmly planted on your head. And it will be only a matter of time before you give in….while you’re praying your head doesn’t just pop like a grape.
Almost within instinct, Delilah drives her foot on the floor while still looking at the camera.
Delilah: And then there’s that pressure that’s suffocating you; the one that you just can’t seem to relieve yourself from. The pressure of you not living up to this great reputation you hold in other wrestling organizations completely haunting you; like when you lost to Summer St. Claire, Mackenzie Roberts at Validation and then to Oni Kymiku at LAW 30. And then there’s the one moment you just can’t shake off; the night you lost to Sidney Grey at last year’s Queen of the Ring event in an “I Quit” match. Though it’s debatable that you never said the words, but that doesn’t change the fact that no matter how determined you wanted to end the score with Sidney, she was making you pay every second. And you pray every night that you can go back so you can correct that embarrassment. But fortunately for you, you can make all of that go away in one night and three matches. The only caveat is…only if I allow you to do it. And if you think Sidney was a nightmare, you haven’t seen anything yet. The pressure is going to be on both of us for sure because we both want the same thing. For you Crystal, to get that redemption with such a statement like a huge win in this tournament to get you back on track in being relevant again. But let’s not get the story twisted. The pressure for you is going to be much harder for you to phantom. Because you know I’m the one who wants it more for I have yet to taste a major victory like this and what I’m willing to do to get it. Just as much as I know what I'm capable of, is the same amount that I can see right through you. And that makes you predictable, Crystal. And when you’re predictable, it makes you vulnerable. What these advantages of mine means to you, Crystal, is that I can reach out and break you anytime I want to. I have no doubts that you’re going to have sleepless nights as we draw close to our battle, spending every waking moment adding more moves and counters into your strategy & drawing out courage from wherever you can find it, because me beating you on this night is not just my goal…but it’s my mission. You think you got enough fight in your game to take me off mine before I put you down? Because I will guarantee this, when you go down, you will stay down….and be stomped like a cockroach. Oh, Yes Crystal. I know you want this. But you’re drenched all over with doubt and I can smell the fear of worry on you. I have no doubt you will emerge to fight another day...but it will be long after you scratch and claw out of the pit of failure that I will leave you in.
Delilah finds herself in front of a large door. When she opens it, she finds herself….
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
...in a large training room, as Delilah continues to walk across the room, still focused on the camera.
Delilah: There are people that are still not convinced on the effect I have in L.A.W. And from the looks of things, it is not going away. I am the Mistress of my destiny and I am clearly the dominance that hovers over all of you. And by capitalizing on my opportunity and becoming the Queen of the Ring, the real countdown will officially begin; the one in which all of LAW will have no choice but to bow to me. And like I said before, the sooner you accept it, the better it will be for you and your egos…even though I wouldn’t mind crushing both of them just for kicks. And do you know why? Because it’s the pure truth…
At this point, Delilah enters the ring, where a female wrestler awaits for her.
Delilah: I'm gonna be waiting for all of you in the ring. And no matter how much you throw at me, I'm gonna run straight through you.
Suddenly, the ladies lock up. However Delilah gets the upper hand on her female opponent by giving her a knee to the stomach. After lifting her back up, Delilah gives her a forearm and then whips her to the ropes. As the female wrestler returns, Delilah gives her a devastating powerslam. Not giving her anytime to rest, Delilah gets her back on her feet and sets her up for her finisher The Raynefall. She keeps her opponent held up as she looks onto the camera.
Delilah: And if by chance you show any sign of hope...I'll just cut you off.
And in an instant, Delilah executes her finisher, dropping her opponent down and laying her out onto the mat. She makes the cover and, almost conveniently, Smithers slides in the ring and makes the count of three. After she was done, she stands up to face the camera, repositioning her stand as she continues to talk.
Delilah: And in the end, there will be no questions, doubts, or debates. You will have no choice but to accept me as a superior Alpha Female who will be Queen of the Ring. And above all else…
And then, Delilah teases the camera as she shows off her flawless athletic figure by flexing her muscles in a victory pose.
Delilah: …you will know exactly where you belong…under me.
She lets out a sexy, but defining laugh and the camera lowers down to reveal that the female wrestler she just laid out is before Delilah….with Delilah’s foot firmly planted on her face.
Just then, Smithers invites himself to the shot and give him a cocky smirk.
Smithers: Bow down to the Queen.
His composure continues to be captured by the camera to compliment the humiliating sight of the female wrestler being under the foot of her conqueror...
The "Alpha Female" who is determined to be Queen.
