center damn it!

The time has finally come for me to be able to prove what I can do. I�ve been following your career for a while now Helmsley, and I do have to admit that I respect what you can do. I respect the fact that you let your wife fight her own battles, and most importantly I respect the fact that you are willing to get into the ring with me. I know that there are those out there who would not be so happy to have a female competitor as their number one contender.

Before I address you directly I would fist like to say a few words to my critics, to those who believe that I do not deserve this opportunity. Get over it. I proved that I was the best in the battle royal, and if you don�t like it, well I�m afraid that you are SOL. As hard as any of you have worked for this I have worked harder. Most of you have not needed to work as hard as I have to make it as far as you have, for the simple fact that you are male. Well let�s face it, this is no longer a male sport, but you guys do seem to get an easier ride. Don�t get me wrong I�m not angry about that, just pointing out the facts. I know that I would take advantage of a situation like that if it was offered, but it wasn�t. I worked my ass off to get here, and if there is anyone out there who feels they deserve it more because they happen to have the Y chromosome there is only one thing I have to say to you, �life sucks, wear a helmet.�

Now where was I? Right, Helmsley. Like I said, I have been following your career for a long time, and there was once a point where I was involved in this sport in a strictly managerial position and it was my job to scope out the competition to know their moves inside and out and find every single chink in the armour. This is exactly what I have done in preparation for our match, and let me say something, as of right now, it does not appear that there is anything radical about your ride.

While we are on that point, where was I when �radical� came back? Was it during my coma? I think that would have been my only excuse to miss it, but I recall that you were using it well before that. At least you do possess the talent to keep people from questioning your atrophied verbal skills. Yes Helmsley, I have been in the business long enough to recognize someone with talent, and you are the real deal. You are not some Great Malinko who refused to compete once the belt was his, and you are not like Excidum, who believed that belt made him royalty and untouchable. No, you respect what that belt means, and for that my hat is off to you. Of course you must understand that I know what it means to.

However there are a few things that I feel I need to address a few things that you mentioned on distortion, about how you have created controversy for years. Uh dude, I�m a female competitor, EVERY TIME I get into that ring it sparks controversy, whether I intend to or not. Though, I must admit, in the last year I have reviled in the controversy I have created. I know that my match with Sands was nothing less than controversial, and brutal, but I came out on my feet, and I plan on doing the same thing at Wrestlewire.

I also know that there is no point to warn you that I�m going to give this my all because you already know that. I know that you have watched since my return, and you have seen me take on every competitor I have been booked against, and win. You have seen that it has not been easy, and I�ve had to work very hard to get this opportunity and, like others, I�m not going to let it slip through my fingers. I am going to come into that ring on Wednesday and show you exactly what I�m made of, and I guarantee you it is not sugar, spice and everything nice. No I plan on giving you a run for your money, and like I said at Distortion, I play for keeps.

Now I know what you are going to say, and it will be about how I was dogged for the New Wave Title, twice. Well back then it was just about cornering someone into the ring with me, it was not about the belt. I know that may be hard to understand, but at the time I felt that a match with your long time rival, Winter, was worth more than a belt. I mean how else can I prove that I�m the best without competing with the best? But now I have you, a chance for the world title, and a chance to compete with one of the best, I will not lose sight of that, and this match is everything that I have been working for.

The scene fades in from black in Seth and Drusilla�s hotel room, and the two are just returning from a day of sightseeing.

Seth: Did you have a good time?

Drusilla: Yes, Australia has always been my favourite penal colony.

Seth sighs,

Seth: You know you really shouldn�t talk like that, you might offend someone.

Drusilla: What?! Australia was a penal colony for British prisoners. I just happens to be larger than Alcatraz, and although there weren�t any bars here the people here could still see them.

Seth sighs again, knowing that she was right about that, but felt as though she didn�t need to point it out so often.

Seth: you might upset the locals.

Drusilla smiles,

Drusilla: You know that I have never censored myself in the past, why would I start now? Come on, I even got a fan club out of calling people sheep.

Seth: You know that Winter is never going to let you live that down?

Drusilla: What do you mean?

Seth: You have a fan club calling themselves Drusilla�s Flock, you know eventually he is going to call you little Bo Peep, right?

Drusilla: If occurred to me, but I know he would only do that once he ran out of ideas, so I guess it might happen soon.

Seth and Drusilla share a laugh together. Then Seth suddenly takes a serious tone.

Seth: Dru, how serious are you taking this match at Wrestlewire?

Drusilla: I have never been more serious about anything in my life.

Seth: That�s good, I know that you weren�t too focused about the New Wave Title when you had the chance, and I really don�t want to see you go through that again. The World Title is not something that can be taken lightly.

Drusilla: You think I don�t know that?

Seth: I know that you know that.

Drusilla: Good, because the last thing that I want to do right now is fight.

Seth: I know.

Drusilla is still somewhat frustrated and decides that it is best to walk away rather than say something that they might regret.

Drusilla: I think I�m going to have a shower.

Seth nods and Drusilla drops a few things and walks into the bathroom. Once inside she turns on a stereo which begins to play �Would� by: Alice in Chains. As she begins to undress she looks at herself in the mirror and her reflection beings to speak to her.

Know me broken by my master
teach thee on child of love hereafter

Reflection: You know this World Title is a really big deal, and a chance for us to make a real impact at NWR.

Drusilla: I know, how many times do I have to say that?

Reflection: Well, it�s just that you don�t seem to think that you can handle it on your own.

Drusilla: I know that I can, I�m not going to fall for that again.

Reflection: Aww� come on, you can�t hide your feelings from me, I know that you feel less than prepared. You have never faced someone like Helmsley before, do you really think that you are up for it?

Drusilla: What? And you have?

Reflection: Well not him exactly, but many like him, I have spent more time in the ring than you, and I know how to handle myself.

Drusilla: Well clearly you weren�t watching my match with Trevin Sands or Pete.

Into the flood again
same old trip it was back then
so i made a big mistake
try to see it once my way

Reflection: They are a different breed than Helmsley. While they were all very tough competitors, Helmsley is driven, and you have to have the same drive that he does in order to win this, and quite frankly I think that you are lacking.

Drusilla: I doubt that, I have never been so focused on something in my life.

Reflection: Stop lying to me, it does not become you.

Drusilla: I�m not.

Her reflection crosses her arms and raises an eyebrow giving Drusilla a look of disbelief.

Reflection: Don�t give me that, there are other things going on that have you distracted, Scarlet for one.

Drusilla: Don�t even bring her up!

Drifting body it's sole desertion
flying not yet quite the notion

Reflection: It�s true, you know just as well as I that you two have some unfinished business that needs to be resolved. Will that be enough to distract you?

Drusilla: No, it won�t be.

Reflection: Stop doing that, your lying again. You know that you will need more than focus to take the title from Hemsley, you know deep down that what you really need is me.

Into the flood again
same old trip it was back then
so i made a big mistake
try to see it once my way

Drusilla: I don�t need you anymore, I can do this on my own.

Reflection: If you really believed that we wouldn�t be having this conversation.

Drusilla: No, we are having this conversation so that you can try to trick me into giving you control again.

Reflection: Believe what you want, but you cannot escape your own insecurities, and eventually they will get the better of you. They certainly will get the better of you before Wednesday.

Drusilla: Your wrong, I know that I can do this.

Into the flood again
same old trip it was back then
so i made a big mistake

Reflection: You know that there is a problem with lying to yourself right? Even you don�t believe it.

Drusilla: Stop that, I know what kind of competitor I am, I don�t need you to prove a damn thing.

Reflection: Suit yourself, I guess then you�ll be happy just to have an opportunity to lose yet again.

Drusilla: That is not going to happen again.

Reflection: Is that so? You know that this whole thing was a fluke right? That you really don�t deserve to be the number one contender? Hell the only reason you won was because dear Seth eliminated all of the real competition for you.

Am i wrong?
have i run too far to get home
Have i gone?
and left you here alone

Drusilla: That�s not true, I won by my own merits. By my own means.

Reflection: Then I guess you weren�t watching the same Battle Royal I did, it was down to you and Winter and Jericho took him out for you.

Drusilla: Enough!

Reflection: You know that you can�t do this by yourself, let me do it for you.

Drusilla: No, this is my fight, not yours!

Am I wrong?
have i run too far to get home, yeah
Have I gone?
and left you here alone

Reflection: You keep forgetting, I am you, and right now I don�t want to watch us lose.

Drusilla: That�s enough!

Drusilla finally lifts her fist and shatters the mirror.

Drusilla: I can do this on my own.

If i would, could you?

Drusilla takes a few breaths to calm herself down, and begins undressing for her shower as the scene fades to black.
