LISA: Is Mindi out here to replace Lisa?
JENNY: She could be, but wait a minute; she ‘requested’ not to be part of the tournaments.
LISA: You’re right, so what gives?
Mindi stepped through the ropes and demanded a microphone. She snatched the mic from the ring
attendant and turned her attention towards Debra. The arrogant heel kissed her bicep before placing
the microphone close to her lips.
MINDI: I’m not out here to replace Lisa Bickels; even though I could beat the hell out of Jennifer
Chamberlin or anybody here. I need no stupid tournament to tell everyone that I am the best; I am! But I
am missing an important accessorie; a gold belt around my waist. I hear that Sasha has retired; well,
another has-been has left this company, so that’s good.
The crowd’s jeers amplified and interrupted the Peak Freak for a moment. The blonde shook her head
and waited until the booing subsided before she spoke again.
MINDI: Debra, you are the GM, so, unlike your contemporaries on other shows, I expect you to make a
sound and sensible announcement. Now that the Television Championship has left the has-been’s
possession, I think it’s time for that belt to go to someone who is young, fresh, drop-dead beautiful and
unmatched in the ring. If you do not understand what I’m saying, then let me shorten it for you; I’m talking
about ME!
Mindi kissed her biceps again as Debra shook her head and smiled before responding.
DEBRA: Well, Mindi, you are going to have to earn the belt, because I’m not handing it to you or
anybody else!
The crowd cheered for the GM’s response, causing Mindi to stop her bicep kissing and slowly put her
arms down with an irritated look on her face. The Peak Freak put the mic next to her lips and spoke.
MINDI: Are you kidding me? If you put me in the ring against anyone for that belt, I would DESTROY
them and become champion. But, if you just hand me the belt, nobody would have to get hurt. There is
nobody that can beat me because I AM A FU-
The ever arrogant Canadian was cut off by music that had a Puerto Rican theme to it. The crowd
cheered when they saw who cut Mindi off; it was Davana Medina.
came down the ramp, wearing a white, sleeveless shirt, denim jeans, and white sneakers. Mindi stared at
Davana with a look of disgust as she watched the sexy Latina enter the ring. Medina nodded in
recognition of the great reaction she received from the fans before she turned towards Mindi.
DAVANA: Did I hear you say that there is ‘nobody that can beat you’? Hmm, let’s see; since you came
here, you’ve beaten up a backstage interviewer….not impressive. You defeated Amber Evans in five
minutes; good, but not really impressive. That makes me wonder; but how can you say that there is
‘nobody that can beat you’ if you’ve only had one, damned match!?
Davana paused for a couple of seconds to watch Mindi’s reaction; the Canadian rolled her eyes and
allowed Davana to continue.
DAVANA: Now, as for me, I made my debut on this past Law & Order. And, I had the former Television
Champion, that coward, Sasha Ogata! What a way for her to retire: winning in cheap fashion. So, I can
agree with you Mindi; it is good that Sasha has retired. But as for the Television Championship; that belt
should be mine and it will be mine. While you have done nothing to even earn a shot at any belt, I was
granted a shot on my first night and I had the champion beaten! Just like I earned my three consecutive
Figure Olympia titles, I earned my way to the title.
The crowd cheered for the words of Davana, while Mindi shook her head before responding.
MINDI: I don’t know what’s more disgusting; you interrupting me, your monologue, or you trying to infer
that you are better than me. Davana, you were the opposite of me in your match against Sasha; you got
your ass kicked throughout the whole match while I kick ass and bloody my opponents when need be.
And you bring up your, oh so precious, Figure Olympia titles. Well, I don’t know what the judges were
seeing when they judged, because I don’t see jack shit! The ONLY reason you won was because I was
not in any of those competitions! If I had been, there would never have BEEN a competition!
Mindi stepped closer to Davana and continued with the dangerous tone in her voice.
MINDI: I can snap you in half bitch, and there is nothing you can do about it.
DAVANA: You want to try and put that to the test!?
Debra was right on time and instructed her security to keep Mindi and Davana away from each other, as
she wanted no fireworks. Mimi and Kyra pushed Mindi away, while Cynthia and Julie shoved Davana
toward a neutral corner.
???: Ladies, ladies, ladies!
Suddenly, a voice was heard over the arena speakers, causing the fans to turn towards the stage; the
voice came from Tamar LiCalzi-Perks.
The General Manager and her security force stepped through the ropes and into the ring. Debra walked
across to the ring and was handed a microphone from the ring attendant, who was outside the ring. She
thanked him for the microphone and walked to the center of the ring before she began to speak.
DEBRA: On the last Crash & Burn, I announced the title tournaments. And so far, they have been
phenomenal, but on this past Law & Order and after it, things happened that made me come out here for
two more announcements. On Law & Order, Lisa Bickels was in a Steel Cage Match with Hronn
Sigurdardottir. Due to her injures, Lisa will not be in action for tonight and some time, leaving Jennifer
Chamberlin with no opponent for tonight. So, it looks like Jennifer will advance to the next round, but…...
if there is a middleweight that is not in this tournament, they will take Lisa’s spot and face Jennifer tonight.
DEBRA: Now, for my second announcement. After Law & Order ended, Television Champion, Sasha
Ogata, went to management and announced her retirement. I was not told of the reason for her choice,
but I was left with what to do to the, now vacant, Television Championship. I-
Suddenly, music blasted throughout the arena speakers, cutting Debra off. The music that cut her off
was Mindi O’Brien’s; the powerful Canadian came on stage to resounding boos, but ignored them as she
came down the ramp.

LISA: Welcome to Crash & Burn, everybody! We are live from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; I’m Lisa
Moretti, here with Jenny McCarthy at ringside! Tonight, we have a total of ten tournament matches.
JENNY: Yeah, but I’m surprised that you are here tonight, Lisa. After being pummeled by The Diva
Killers, I’d have thought you would stay as far away from any place they were in and they are here tonight.
LISA: I thank God that my neck was not broken from that spike piledriver I took. I feel that The Diva
Killers went too far last week, but I have no regrets about trying to do the right thing.
JENNY: No regrets? You got your ass kicked!
LISA: I was jumped, but our main event is what I believe will be the most personal match of the night;
World Title Tournament Match: Pia Marlen Johnsen vs. Bethany Howlett!
JENNY: You’re right, this match is personal, and it’s going to be physical!
A thumping guitar riff filled the air in the arena and the Crash and Burn General Manager Debra Ann
Miceli came on stage to a great ovation from the crowd. Behind her were the heads of her security force,
Mimi Lesseos, Cynthia Rothrock, Kyra Gracie and Julie Kedzie.
TAMAR: What’s with all this anger and violent talk? What happened to respect?
Tamar stood on the apron before she stepped through the ropes; now she was between The Peak Freak
and The Puerto Rican Princess.
TAMAR: Before I continue, I would like to let everybody know, that what happened in my match against
Debbie Leung, was an accident. Debbie; I didn’t mean to drop you on the steel steps, and I didn’t throw
you into the ring post on purpose. One of the fans, tried to throw his beverage at me, so I made sure
that both of us wouldn’t get drenched.
The crowd did not believe one word of Tamar’s apology and let her know it loudly; the reception caused
the Amazon to shake her head and continue.
TAMAR: But back to you ladies. Both of you are great athletes; even though people only like you girls
because of your fit bodies.
Tamar’s words caused both Davana and Mindi to turn toward the interloper and step towards her, but
they were blocked by Debra’s security forces. The Amazon held her hand out while she turned towards
both of them.
TAMAR: But that’s not the point. I believe that you women deserve championships just as much as I do,
but that’s not our decision; it’s our General Manager’s. So, Ms. Debra, can you continue what you were
saying.
The legendary wrestling icon exhaled deeply, as if saying 'finally, I can continue’ before she continued.
DEBRA: I guess I can thank you, Tamar. Since you three women feel that you all deserve a chance at
the Television Championship, then how about this; at AFW’s first ever Pay-Per-View, Termination, we will
have a Fatal 4-Way Match to determine who will become the new Television Champion. And tonight, we
are going to see who will be in that match with four qualifying Fatal 4-Way matches. It’s simple, the four
winners of those Fatal 4-Ways will advance to the BIG 4-Way Match at our pay-per-view, Termination.
Since Davana and Mindi want at each other so badly, I will put both of you in the same Fatal 4 Way
Qualifier tonight. So Davana, if you want to this-
DAVANA: Yes, I do!
DEBRA: Then, you are going to have to be replaced in the World Title Tournament. Do you still want to
compete in a qualifier tonight?
Davana looked down and thought about it before she looked at Mindi and gave her answer.
DAVANA: Yes!
Debra walked to the ropes, past Tamar, and stepped onto the apron.
DEBRA: Well, there you have it! I have to go and pick the thirteen other women, who will be a part of
these qualifiers, but until then, enjoy the show everyone!
As Debra walked up the ramp while her music played; her security force made sure that Mindi and
Davana left the ring separately while Tamar clapped for the GM’s announcement.
LISA: What an announcement from our GM! Now, we have more questions that will be answered later
on tonight.
JENNY: Yes, like who will replace Lisa Bickels in the middleweight tournament? Who will be Davana’s
replacement in the A.F.W. World Title tournament? Who will be the other thirteen women that will
participate in the four Fatal 4 Way Qualifiers tonight? And finally, what other matches will be made for will
be the full card for Termination?
LISA: So many questions, but we will be back with our first match of the night; don’t go away!
