scene one . a house of sweetness’ meeting…
The boss Kandi Washington is in a room setup like an office and her silky-smooth legs kicked up on the desk as she’s leaning back on her leather chair. She has a pen in her hands as she’s twiddling it between her fingertips as she cocks her head back against the chair as she looks over the desktop. Jake Wakefield is leaning against the wall behind Kandi Washington’s chair and he glances over his shoulder to look out the window. The cameras zoom back on Kandi Washington but sitting beside her in a little singular laptop desk is Madison Lewis with her laptop open in front of her.
Kandi Washington: “Madison, Jake, I think this is going to be our year. 2019 is going to be the sweetest year, yet! I can’t tell you how many companies have been lining up to get a taste of Kandi; everybody wants a dose of Kandi because Kandi equals ratings!”
She purses her lips together.
Jake Wakefield: “Yeah, bay-be! You’re so sweet babydoll, you leave them with a sweet tooth!”
She snickers as she twitches her nose.
Kandi Washington: “It just goes to show you; you can’t rid of the Queen. 4CW tried to behead me and have me blacklisted from wrestling, but look what happened? They folded and were forced to close their fucking doors! Now, I’m the SOLE reigning royalty in this business!”
Jake steps off from the wall and holds his hands toward Kandi.
Jake Wakefield: “All hail the Queen! Hail Queen Kandi!”
He boosts her name as she smirks, but Madison looks over at Kandi with a worried expression on her face.
Madison Lewis: “Ms. Washington, you do know a lot of these newer companies are making you start from scratch—”
Kandi holds her hand out toward Madison.
Kandi Washington: “Start from scratch!? Are you fucking stupid or just mentally unstable!? Kandi Washington doesn’t start at the bottom; I am always on TOP! I will be champion in Alpha Pro Wrestling and Trinity Wrestling in no time! After all, I’m already crowned the Queen of their Worlds!”
There’s a sudden knock on her office door and all three cock their heads over to it. Kandi slams her hands down on top of her desk.
Kandi Washington: “COME IN!”
She yells sternly. The door opens and in walks Drake Knight, followed by “the Wildcard” Jason Randall, and finally, the “Ravishing” Ice. Ice closes the door behind her, since she’s the third one to enter the office, and they all walk over to Kandi’s desk. Drake flops down in one of the chairs across from the desk as does Randall. Knight folds his arms and Randall lounges his arms on the sides of the chair. Ice stands between them as Kandi smirks wickedly at the Ravishing Russian.
Kandi Washington: “Well, well, well, look at what the cat finally drugged in?”
Ice cocks her head and grins as she nods sarcastically.
Ice: “It must have been an awfully large cat to drag me in. What do I owe this unpleasant request to Kandi?”
Kandi Washington: “Since I’m officially back on my royal throne and terrorizing the masses of the wrestling world, I wanted to make sure you’re with me or if I need to send you back to where you belong? You see Ice, I’m no longer desperate to have you at my beck and call. So, you either want to be here or you don’t.”
Ice: “When did I ever give you an indication I don’t want to be here?”
Kandi slowly pushes her chair out from beneath her desk and uses her desk to push herself up on her feet.
Kandi Washington: “Let see… how about your constant bad mouthing me behind my back? YOU work for me! YOU answer to me! Everything you do reflects on me! You are my property! If you don’t want to be here, I’ll have your work visa revoked and just have Carnage Candy fill in for Sweet Annihilation.”
Drake cocks his head up and looks at Ice. He shakes his head as Ice looks surprised by Kandi’s aggressiveness.
Ice: “No, no, I am going to work with Drake. Drake and I will be the team taking on the Canadian Coalition at Alpha Showdown for the straps. There’s no need for your little boy toy and his bubble butt best friend to take our places. Then again, I think our shoes are too big for them to fill anyway!”
Kandi leans over the desk and she firmly point her finger across at Ice.
Kandi Washington: “You’re not just to work with Drake, but you are to play nice with him as well as no longer saying a negative word about me! Do I make myself clear? You will respect the Queen such as everybody else in this god forsaken company!”
Ice rubs her hand across her face.
Ice: “Fine.”
She mumbles her breath, and everybody just gawks at her with smirks. Kandi leans back with her hand perched on her hip. Ice turns around and starts toward the door, but Kandi catches her off guard.
Kandi Washington: “Oh Ice, one more thing before you go.”
She says with a devious smirk on her face. Ice pauses and doesn’t even turn around, but glances over her shoulder.
Ice: “What?”
She replies quickly.
Kandi Washington: “When you win tomorrow night, Drake is to get the pin-fall victory. You are simply there to make sure the other person is kept in line.”
Kandi licks her lips seductively and snickers as a beaming smile comes across the face of Drake. Ice shakes her head and continues to the door. She walks out from the office and lets the door slam behind her. Kandi takes a seat back down in her chair as she pulls herself closer. The scene fades to black.
scene two . a chilly beginning…
•REC
THE COLD WAR BEGINS…
Ice: “So, we’re going to Calgary for this week’s Metal, hm? My opponents may have been there a time or two. You will have the crowd on your side, but it really doesn’t matter where we wrestle—the crowd is always going to be on your side. The crowd hates Sweet Annihilation because we are associated with Kandi Washington. It doesn’t take rocket science to figure out the world hates Kandi Washington and anybody associated with her. But, don’t you start to think just because we are in Calgary, your fellow Canadian fan base are going to be a factor in your victory.”
She mumbles, “nuh-uh” and accompanies it with shaking her head.
Ice: “If anything, your Canadian fan base are going to be a factor in your two demises!”
She brings her right hand up to her frosty tipped mohawk and adjusts the hair to the front of her head.
Ice: “Rick, I think it’s admirable. You do the honorable partner thing by stepping up to the challenge when there’s a bigger opponent across from Mercer. What do you do when both your opponents are bigger than Mercer? Drake Knight can flick Mercer and break him in two. I can use his legs as chopsticks at the local Chinese restaurant. He’s an ant compared to Sweet Annihilation. No matter how hard you try to intervene and protect him from the alleged bigger opponent, you are going to fail because there is no way to beat both members on your own.”
She holds her two fingers up to her mouth and briefly sticks out her tongue.
Ice: “I have my partner’s back too, but I also know how to give him his space. Our relationship isn’t like your relationship with Mercer. There might not be much of a conflict between you two, but we will figure out how to divide and conquer because most teams have some weakness amongst them. There is always that one opening and I’m great at figuring out that opening. Just beware. My eyes are always open. Don’t think you will have the same luck of finding that opening with Sweet Annihilation though.”
She widens her eyes and lifts her upper lip as she grins.
Ice: “People tend to think there is a wedge between Drake and myself. The wedge they can weasel their way into to divide and conquer, but Drake and I know how to set our differences aside for the success of our team. Therefore, Drake and I make such an ideal team. We are not friends outside of Sweet Annihilation, but we are a damn good tag team. We helped revolutionize tag team wrestling. We helped set the bar for tag team divisions and it was not until our names joined APW that they unveiled the new APW’s Tag Team Championships. At Alpha Showdown, we are going to take our rightful place at the top of the tag team division when we become the inaugural Tag Team Champions.”
She lowers her hand down to her midsection and circles her waist as she’s indicating the titles will be there soon.
Ice: “For all you critics out there who do not believe we can do it, we are going to give you a preview of the title match at Alpha Showdown because this Monday night Metal—they have given us the Canadian Coalition in a warm up match.”
“We take great pride in being the best tag team in sports entertainment. We take great pride for honors of becoming company’s first tag champions or tag tournament winners. Sweet Annihilation is full of pride, but then again I don’t need to say much about pride since our opponents have their own national pride.”
Pride…
Ice: “Pride is defined as confidence in respect by the members of a group on their basis of their shared identity, culture, or experience. We have gay pride, black pride, and of course we have national pride. There is nothing wrong with showing pride in the nation you absolutely love, adore, and worship. I, for one, love the nation of Russia! In Russia, there is no wrongdoing or corruption like here in America. National pride becomes an issue when it interferes with one’s day-to-day life. Take my opponents for instance, filled with so much pride and admiration for their nation—they can’t even seem to see straight. Their pride is blinding them on what is truly important and what should be important to them is their careers. They want to do so right by Canada and represent their nation to the highest regard that let their country down every single night.”
Ice raises her hand to her chin and taps her finger on the side of her face.
Ice: “Ironic, isn’t it?”
She smirks.
Ice: “Who makes up the Canadian Coalition? Who are the men that shout, “O Canada” as they make their ways to the ring? Who are the men so blinded by their country’s pride that their records in APW is downright pitiful?”
She grabs her chin with her right hand and twerks her head to the side as she pops the joints in the side of her neck.
Ice: “The Canadian Coalition is made up of Mercer Quinn and Ravenous Rick Rage along with their obnoxious mouthpiece Kyle Ryder. Don’t worry, we have our own annoying mouthpiece in Kandi Washington, so the odds aren’t quite in your favor. In fact, the odds are stacked against you three. I hope you three are ready for a chilly summer because the COLD WAR has officially begun!”
She arches her eyebrow and tilts her head down as she grins.
Ice: “Many superstars look at me and think I’m just an overrated and over the hill has-been whose time has passed her by. I certainly hope you two don’t feel the same way as my critics because it would be foolish of you to wrongly look at me. Passing me off as some has-been is just going to have detrimental consequences for your team in this match on Monday night as well as our title match at Alpha Showdown. I want to think we can all be somewhat mature in this matter and have a decent showdown. That would mean, you two have to take your heads out of each other’s asses.”
Ice arches her eyebrow and cocks her head to the side as she briefly pauses.
Ice: “Two weeks ago, you two may have been lucky and beat a couple of whining little Asian barbie dolls, but I assure you that you won’t have the same luck with this Russian woman. Unlike those two Asian dolls, I take my career extremely seriously. It’s not just going to be a wham bam thank you ma’am type of evening. You two aren’t as ‘unstoppable’ as you like to think your team might be. The two victories you were lucky even to get are just flukes.”
She nods her head confidently.
Ice: “All I need to do is study those matches, your mistakes, and how to capitalize on those mistakes you make. That is experience at its finest. If you or Mercer were even remotely intelligent superstars, you would have been able to capitalize on Trent Page and Masuda Jubei’s lack of unity. Even a team that was thrown together for one week were able to beat you. Tell me again, why you think you two can measure up to Sweet Annihilation? Tell me again why you two are considered contenders for the vacant APW’s tag team titles? ‘Cause honestly, I don’t see champions. Hell, I don’t even see wrestlers! I see complete and utter jokes who I am going to enjoy burying in six feet of Russian snow!”
Ice holds her palm out with her fingers out and raises her opposite hand up with one finger raised. Before she resumes talking, she lowers her hands at her hips.
Ice: “Where were you two during the battle royal frenzy? Didn’t want to humiliate yourselves too much or just didn’t have the balls to enter the match? I look at your track records and I’m not amused by them, especially yours… Rick. You’re supposed to be so big and bad, after all, isn’t your nickname ravenous? And yet, you couldn’t even measure up in your singles match. You fell flat on your face in your singles’ debut against Nyeo Son. All this is relevant in our match because it shows your vulnerability. Your weaknesses. Above all, it shows you’re beatable.”
Ice presses her palms together and rubs them upward. She tilts her head back and squint her eyes.
Ice: “There are two superpowers involved in this match and both superpowers are part of the same team. All those on the outside are just going to become casualties of THE COLD WAR! So, prepare to be annihilated and our first two causalities in our quest for total dominance in Alpha Pro Wrestling!”
The scene fades to black.
