the way I'm drinking you down Like I wanna drown (I wanna end me)

My dominant nature in XWF continued as I took out Michael McBride and Barney Green. With the exception of the match with Madison Dyson, I had not lost since. One loss since entering the company and I still was being disrespected. I walked over to my mirror and looked into it.

"Geri, you can do this. You can stand above the treatment they are giving you. Another throw away match at an unnecessary pay per view. Just keep telling yourself "It was booked by Noah and Fuzz" and you will be ok. I mean, look at it this way. They put Michael McBride in this match as if it wasn't enough that you just about killed him on Savage. McBride, what are you going to do differently at Cuntfest? What can you possibly do to beat me? The answer is simple. There is nothing more your skinny ass can do. We are all so excited to have you in this match. Not. You are the least of my worries here as I have already beaten you. I will beat you again, no questions asked. You are someone that I have already proven my dominance against. You are someone that I have already gotten into the head of. You are someone who is nothing to no one. You are the type of person who ends up in limbo because Heaven doesn't want you and hell is ashamed of you."

I walked around the room a bit before coming to the dart board on the wall. I smiled from ear to ear.

"That brings me to yet another target, Michael Archer Jr. You know many people describe you as a loner. This business isn't about being alone. Look at those that currently are in championship positions. Fuzz, Noah, The Engineer. None of them do it alone. They all have a support system. I have a support system in this matchup. The one person I know can make it to the end with me but that is for a little later. Michael Archer, all I have seen you do is beat Link Rexx, a man who is a bonafide rookie. He is a musician who wanted to live a dream. I love Link to death but he is brand new. So you have proven nothing to me. You can talk a big game, which I am sure you will, but ultimately the talk is done in the ring and when the dust settles you will be just another victim and just another carcass thrown over the ropes. What happens when you step into the ring with a woman who doesn't give a shit? I will do anything it takes to win. That is what myself, Estrella, and Derrick pride ourselves on. We are all down to win by any means necessary. Ask yourself, are you willing to do that or are you just another clone in this business that is all talk and not about action?"

Tick. Tock. The clock on the wall showed it was noon. I laughed as I looked into the camera again.

"Your fifteen minutes of fame are up Kieran. You call yourself a destructive beast but in this match it is all about skill and strategy. You can demolish anything you would like but ultimately it won't allow you to eliminate anyone. Ultimately I will outsmart you and out last you. You are nothing more than a fat, lazy bum. You are here simply to bolster my win. You are here to make me look that much better. You are here, because I allowed you to be. Now, I will take you out because you have overstayed your welcome. You are simply not good enough to stay in the ring very long with me. Keep thinking you are something but Noah and Fuzz have said more to try to hurt me on Twitter than I have heard you even speak. And there, they have a character limit. You see, that is what separates scrubs like you from stars like me. We are in the forefront of the fans eyes while idiots like you hide in the back. You think you are too good to say what is on your mind. You think it is enough to come out here and wrestle but part of our business is interactions with our fans. Hell, I am mean to everyone and even I can still meet the fans."

I poured a cup of coffee and began sipping on it.

"Just like this cup of coffee I am hot in XWF right now. I am a human highlight reel. I am going to completely maim everyone in this match and that includes Phantom Panzer. This man, I guess he is, is literally a clown. Isn't this schtick played out in wrestling? Oh no guys here is a killer clown. Fucking moronic. Panzer? More like pansy. You are not a threat you are a speed bump at best to try and slow the action down. You are comic relief and a fucking bad one at that. You are like a washed up stand up comedian attempting to regain some fame. You are past your time. Many are over looking me but at least they look in my direction. No one even knows you exist and you have been with the company since May of 2017. You are forgettable. You are of no importance to anyone and that is why you are here. You are here to make the winner, me, look even better than I already do."

A knock was heard on the door as I went and answered it. It was Estrella Luiz. I hugged her as I looked into her eye.

"Here is the one person in the battle royal that I respect. Estrella Luiz is simply a great wrestler and it will be my honor to share the ring with my best friend. You see XWF, I see what you are doing here. You are trying to pull the Highlight apart before we gather steam in this company but we are ready to show we are stronger. Neither of us would mind if the other won this match at Cuntfest. We are going to make it a spectacle. We are going to show why we are the best thing XWF, or wrestling in general, has to offer. We are young. We are hot. We are talented. Noah, Fuzz, you tried but you failed and after Cuntfest, we are coming for you morons."

The two women hug again as the scene fades to black.



I sat in the office of the United States Olympic Committee at fourteen. The application was long and drawn out. It had to be seeing as us young girls had made it onto one of the most elite teams in the world, the United States Olympic Gymnastics Team. The coach, Dom Carlucci approached me.

"Geraldine Miller in the flesh. You and Lilianna Rose are the gems of this team. We are so excited to have you."

I stood up and shook his hand, looking up to him. I was so proud to be representing my country and to be learning under the best coach in the world. I had a seat.

"Miss Miller, do you understand the commitment it is going to take to compete in the Olympics? You do understand that this means you are selling your soul to us, right?"

I nodded. Not like I had any family or anything to worry about. I had no boyfriend and no cares in the world. I signed the paper in front of me which would begin my path to greatness. Fast forward a bit. First practice was simply the toughest thing I had ever done. Coach Dom looked at me as I fell off the uneven bars. He stood over me shaking his head.

"Come on Miller. You seem distracted."

Fact is, I was. My mother had gotten worse. She was in rehab. She was not doing well and I was fucking tired of it in all honesty. I hopped up on the balance beam and began my routine on it. I fell to the ground during my dismount. Carlucci spoke to me again.

"Miller, office, NOW!

I huffed and puffed. I walked toward the office as I had a seat. I was distant and refused to make eye contact. Carlucci spoke again.

"Geri, we need you at the peak of greatness in London. What has gotten into you?"

I sighed as I began crying.

"It's my mom, Coach. She is in rehab for her drug use again and I have no clue how to get past it. I have tried to get her to see that there is so much more to life. I am so tired of it all. I am wanting to focus but her demons have made it hard."

I sobbed more. This was the hardest thing I had gone through in my short fourteen years. It was more than I was ready to process. I placed my gym bag on the desk.

"Maybe I am not cut out for the Olympics."

We flashed back to the present where I sat in the kitchen sipping my coffee. I looked at the Gold Medals on the table, which I had been polishing.

"That fateful day, Coach Carlucci helped me get back on the path to greatness. He taught me and helped me get emancipated. In London that year I won gold in the Uneven Bars and the Floor. We also won overall. Three time gold medalist Geri Miller sounded a lot better than Olympic dropout Geri Miller."

I sipped my coffee again as I looked into the camera.

"That is why I strive to be the absolute best. That is why I stuck around in wrestling even when my future seemed bleak. I stayed because I knew, with a little bit of work, I could be a winner again. I could get that feeling back that I had as I stood on that podium. That is why I strive for excellence in XWF. That is why I have to win this battle royal. That is why I have to keep winning night in and night out. That is why I won't stop until I am the greatest wrestler in the XWF and in the whole world. One of these days people will stop doubting me and it will be MY name in lights. My name in the main event. My name on the Universal Title name plate. I will not stop until people accept me for who I am. I will not stop until people see me as the winner I am and not just another stoner in a world full of them. Being a stoner doesn't mean that is all I am. I am a winner. I am a wrestler. I am a gold medalist. I am a friend and I am someone who will be remembered as such. I won't stop until you all see that I am not someone who can just beat the jobbers of the world. I am someone who can beat anyone you put in front of me. I don't care if it is Bobbi London or Fuzz. Noah Jackson or the Engineer. I will beat them all as I show management and the world that I am Geri fucking Miller. I am the Smokin' Ace and this fire can't be extinguished."

I clicked the camera off as I walked off. My brain was getting the best of me.



I walked through the airport with my hood on. For once I didn't want to be recognized. I wanted to simply get to Australia and begin working out. That is when I heard a familiar voice.

 

"Geri?"

I turned and was face to face with Lilianna Rose. The woman who trained me in wrestling. The woman who was no longer in the business. She smiled at me. I faked a smile as I still felt guilty for leaving her side.

"Hey, Lili! How ya been?"

She smiled wider.

"I am well. I see you are doing well. Just as a heads up, I don't blame you or Estrella for what happened to me. It was for the best. I needed to get out of the business anyway, especially when my nudes started leaking online."

I had forgotten that recently Lilianna was in rehab for her drug use and that someone had leaked her nudes online. She was all smiles regardless through it. She could smile when her life had completely changed but I couldn't even smile in my best times most days.

"Hey Lili. You remember when I said I wanted to be like you and be a champion?

Lilianna smiled and nodded. I reached in my bag and pulled out the XWF Internet Title. I placed it on my shoulder as she looked at me in admiration. She touched the title.

"Oh my God! That is a nice title and in a company that has so much history! You will be the best Internet Champion in history.

I smiled before speaking again.

"This is but the beginning. My journey is far from over. This is but the beginning. I am twenty two years old and already holding gold. I am someone who simply can't be stopped. I have momentum on my side and the Ger Train is not going to stop for anyone! I am going to motor through anyone and everyone on my way to greener pastures. Here Lilianna."

I handed her a ticket to Cuntfest.

"Since you are headed to Australia too. You can come see me win yet again."

They called my flight as I hugged Lilianna and rushed off and the scene faded to black.
