JAIME: Time for a contenders match Dawn.
DAWN: That must mean it’s time for my nap.
JAIME: Then you’ll miss a very exciting match between two crowd favorites who are going to battle for
the right to face middleweight champion Moorea Wolfe at the upcoming Trial By Jury pay-per-view.
DAWN: (yawns)
JAIME: You are unbelievable. Let’s go to the back for comments from our combatants.
SHANNON: I’m standing next to the Fitness Fox, Teri Mooney. Teri, you’ve got a great opportunity
tonight but you have a hungry young woman in your way.
TERI: Yes, I do Shannon. I cannot afford to dismiss her because she is a rookie and this is her first
match in the AFW. Sophia Parnachelli is here because she compiled an amazing record in the minor
league of the XFW that she was given this opportunity sight unseen. I respect her ability but if she thinks
that she can waltz in here and grab top honors, Sophia is sadly mistaken. She calls herself the Italian
Temptress? Well, temptress, I am the going to be the #1 contender and in a few minutes, you’re going to
find out why.
With that, the veteran grappler left an amused Shannon as she headed for the ring and her showdown
with Sophia.
SHANNON: Strong words from the veteran….over to you Mila.
MILA: Thanks Shannon. I’ve got the self-proclaimed Italian Temptress, Sophia Parnachelli with me.
Shannon, do you have any comments for the fans or Teri?
SOPHIA: I know a lot of people have dismissed me because I call myself the Italian Temptress. I can’t
help it if many men, or women for that matter, find me irresistible. My haters seem to think that means I’m
not serious in the ring. But my record in the XFW speaks for itself. And in a few minutes, I am going to
prove to everybody why I intend to be one of the elite players of the AFW.
MILA: You certainly aren’t lacking for confidence Sophia. Still, Teri is more experienced than you.
SOPHIA: People always cite experience when their opponent is younger and hungrier than they are. I
respect what you’ve done Teri, but it’s time for some new blood to take this federation into the future so
you’ll have to accept my apologies but the Fox is going to have to be put down.
MILA: Wow. A very confident Sophia Parnachelli seems ready. Back to you Jaime.
JAIME: Thanks Mila. It sounds like we could have a classic match.
DAWN: Very doubtful. Let’s just get this over with.
RING ANNOUNCER: Introducing first, making her AFW debut, hailing from Washington D.C., she stands
five feet-eight inches tall and weighs in at one hundred thirty pounds, she is the Italian Temptress,
Sophia Parnachelli.
Sophia burst onto the stage and began bounding from one side of the stage to the other, stopping only
to strike some seductive poses as she urged the cheering crowd to increase their volume. Many of the
males in the audience complied, adding loud whistles and other catcalls to the Italian beauty. The rookie
then bounded down the ramp and rolled into the ring. Once again, the sexy grappler struck some
seductive poses before she stopped and allowed the referee to check her. After the official instructed
her on the rules for the match, Sophia retreated to her corner to await her opponent.
RING ANNOUNCER: And her opponent, from Atlantic City, New Jersey. She stands five feet-four inches
tall and weighs in at one hundred thirty pounds….here is the Fitness Fox, Teri Mooney!
Teri appeared on the stage to a strong ovation from the crowd, but with less catcalls than her opponent.
The Fitness Fox wore a bright red halter top with matching spandex shorts, kneepads and knee-high
wrestling boots. Flexing and striking a couple of poses for the crowd, Teri then briskly headed for the
ring. After entering, she climbed the corner turnbuckles to pose for the crowd once more before she
jumped down and allowed the referee to check her for weapons. After getting her instructions from the
official, the veteran waited for the opening bell.
DAWN: That must mean it’s time for my nap.

| EPISODE 2 |
DING!
Both women rushed from their corners and began circling each other before Teri stopped and extended
her hand in a nice show of sportsmanship. Sophia flashed a mesmerizing smile as she accepted the
invitation for a handshake and the crowd politely cheered the two women.
JAIME: Outstanding show of respect by both women.
DAWN: I think I’m going to vomit.
Again, the two beauties circled each other before they locked up collar and elbow. Suddenly, Teri
dropped down and took Sophia to the canvas with an armdrag and then maintained her advantage with
an armbar while she ground her knee into the side of the Italian’s head. Sophia rolled into the hold,
kipped to her feet and then threw Teri to the mat with her own armdrag only for the veteran grappler to
hold onto her armbar and reverse positions with the younger woman.
As Sophia again rolled into the move and regained her feet, Teri whipped her opponent into the ropes
and bent down for a backdrop. The Italian Temptress showed her athleticism as she anticipated the
move and landed on her feet so that when Teri turned around, the rookie nailed her opponent with a
standing dropkick. But when Sophia leapt onto Teri’s shoulder and tried for a hurricanrana, the Fitness
Fox braced herself and blocked the move; instead nailing the Italian beauty with a stiff powerbomb.
Quickly, Teri hooked Sophia’s leg for a pin.
ONE…
TWO…
TH-
At the last second, the stunned rookie kicked out of the pinning predicament and unsteadily got to her
feet. As she did, Teri scooped the Italian beauty off her feet and bodyslammed her to the canvas.
Before Sophia could recover, Teri leapt into the air and nailed the rookie grappler with a stiff legdrop.
Again, Teri went for the quick win and covered her opponent.
ONE…
TWO…
Again, Sophia kicked out of the pin attempt.
JAIME: Teri is putting on a clinic for the rookie.
DAWN: You mean the old hag, don’t you?
The Italian Temptress staggered to her feet only for Teri to scoop her into her arms and drive the exotic
beauty into the canvas with a stiff side slam. But before the Fitness Fox could cover her opponent,
Sophia rolled onto her stomach to block the move. That proved to be a bad decision when Teri grabbed
the rookie’s right arm and leg and pulled back on them as she planted a boot in the middle of the Italian
Temptress’ back; the bow and arrow locked in tightly.
The referee leaned in close and asked Sophia if she wanted to submit only for the rookie to hiss her
denial as she closed her eyes and strained against Teri’s grip. At the half minute mark, the Fitness Fox
found her grip slipping thanks to both women’s perspiration. The veteran grappler suddenly abandoned
her torturous hold, kipped to her feet and yanked her opponent up.
Teri grabbed Sophia by the wrist and whipped her across the ring and into the ropes. When the rookie
rebounded, Teri caught her, lifted her into the air, spun around and drove the exotic beauty into the
canvas with a wicked spinebuster slam. Quickly, Teri rolled across the body of the Italian Temptress
while she hooked the rookie’s leg and waited for the referee’s count.
ONE…
TWO…
TH-
Once more, Sophia showed her tenacity as she kicked out of the pin attempt. As Teri kipped back up to
continue her attack, a figure appeared on the stage beneath the JumboTron and started walking down
the ramp toward the ring. It was Moorea Wolfe.
Both women rushed from their corners and began circling each other before Teri stopped and extended
her hand in a nice show of sportsmanship. Sophia flashed a mesmerizing smile as she accepted the
invitation for a handshake and the crowd politely cheered the two women.

|
JAIME: What the hell? Why is she even out here?
DAWN: To liven thing up. I know the two in the ring were putting me to sleep.
The redhead came to a halt at the bottom of the ramp with a smirk on her face as Teri abandoned her
attack to step toward the ropes and motion toward the champion that she wanted the belt draped across
the shoulder of the Red Plague. The sexy redhead simply shook her head and feigned as if she were
yawning while Teri’s eyes narrowed to a steely glint.
However, when Teri turned around, Sophia had recovered and immediately took her to the mat with a
textbook drop toehold. The Italian Temptress quickly locked her legs around Teri’s right leg, dropped
down and began to apply pressure to the veteran’s knee and ankle as a look of anguish came across the
fitness icon’s face. In between grunts of agony, Teri began inching her way toward the ropes as Sophia
increased the torque on her opponent’s limb. Finally, the Fitness Fox reached the bottom rope and the
referee called for the break.
JAIME: Moorea’s distraction seems to be the opening that Sophia needed.
DAWN: Hopefully, she will snap Mooney’s ankle and we’ll be rid of her.
JAIME: You are in need of serious help.
As Teri stood gingerly, still favoring the right leg, Moorea’s eyes lit up as though she were a cat who had
discovered a straying mouse in her lair. Inside the ring, Sophia rushed at Teri who quickly reversed
positions with the rookie and pushed her against the ropes before delivering a stiff knife-edged chop. A
second chop followed and then Teri whipped the exotic beauty across the ring.
When Sophia rebounded, Teri rushed forward to deliver a clothesline only for the rookie to duck the
maneuver. As Teri spun around, Sophia bounced off the opposite ropes and dropkicked the veteran on
her right knee; the move sent Teri crashing to the canvas, holding her knee. The Italian Temptress
quickly moved in and locked on a spinning toehold, again working over Teri’s right leg.
JAIME: Sophia is showing that her focus is on winning as she has targeted Teri’s weak spot.
DAWN: Hmmm, I think I’m beginning to like this girl.
The former fitness icon countered quickly as she used her other leg to push Sophia off. The momentum
sent the exotic beauty into the ropes and as she rebounded, Teri used her legs to flip Sophia into the
air. The maneuver didn’t work as planned since Sophia landed on her feet and waited for her opponent
to get to her feet.
As Teri stood, Sophia moved in behind her, grabbed the brunette’s right leg and lifted her into the air. A
second later, the Italian Temptress brought her opponent’s shin down across her knee, executing a
perfect shinbreaker. A howl of agony immediately escaped Teri’s lips as she collapsed to the canvas,
holding her damaged leg while Moorea looked on gleefully.
Again, Sophia attacked as she grabbed Teri’s right leg and began to stomp away at the hamstring; each
blow making the veteran grimace in pain. Suddenly, Sophia stopped, wrapped up her opponent’s legs
and applied a perfect figure-four leglock. Under most circumstances, it would have been only a wear
down maneuver, but with the previous punishment, the move had Teri near tears.
JAIME: Oh boy. Sophia has really done a number on the Fox’s leg. Youth may yet be served.
DAWN: If that means the Temptress is about to snap the Fox’s leg, I think you’re right.
Slowly but surely, Teri blocked out the pain coursing through her right leg and started to reverse the
maneuver. Seconds ticked by as both women strained toward their goal; Sophia to maintain her
torturous hold and Teri to escape it. The exotic beauty strained with all her might to maintain the
devastating hold but Teri’s experience and power proved to be the deciding factor as the veteran finally
rolled onto her stomach, reversing the maneuver. Immediately, it was Sophia’s turn to begin screaming.
A second later, the hold was broken and both women scurried away, massaging their legs.
JAIME: That took a lot out of Teri. Now we get to see if she can regroup.
DAWN: C’mon, Sophia. Snap her leg like a twig.
Sophia got to her feet before the veteran and headed toward her to continue her attack. As Sophia
neared Teri, the Fitness Fox used the ropes for leverage and then shot out with her finisher, THE BOOT
[Superkick]. Somehow, Sophia’s reflexes reacted and the Italian Temptress caught her opponent’s foot
before it could strike its target. With a smile on her face, Sophia took the Jersey native to the canvas with
a sick looking dragon leg whip.
As Teri lay on the canvas moaning, Sophia grabbed her opponent’s legs, rolled her onto her stomach
and quickly locked on her finisher, CAPITAL PUNISHMENT [inverted figure-four leglock]. Teri’s screams
immediately filled the air as she frantically clutched at her hair and longingly looked toward the ropes
which were half a yard away. The referee leaned in and asked the fitness icon if she wanted to submit
and received a meek ‘NO’ in response.
JAIME: This is bad.
DAWN: No, it’s not. Sophia is about to break Teri’s leg.
JAIME: You heartless bitch. Teri’s already had leg problems.
DAWN: So she should be used to what comes next. A trip to the hospital….her leg in a cast……..
JAIME: Shut up!
Slowly, but surely Teri lifted herself up on the palms of her hands and started walking her way toward the
ropes. When she was less than half a foot away, Teri’s arms began to tremble and she collapsed onto
her chest again. Tears welled up in the veteran’s eyes as she clawed toward the ropes which were
inches out of reach. Teri’s hand hovered above the canvas as if she were going to submit. Just when it
seemed like she was going to tap, Teri rose onto her hands again and lurched forward, barely reaching
the ropes and forcing Sophia to break her torturous hold.
JAIME: Amazing….Teri fought through that immense pain and forced the match to continue.
DAWN: We’ll see how smart that was in the long run. That was the same leg that she ruptured the ACL
on a couple years ago. I see a hospital stay in her future.
Teri held onto the ropes like it was a lifeline as she tried to stand. At first, it seemed that the Jersey
native was going to have to give it up when she nearly collapsed. After a couple of minutes, the veteran
moved forward to lock up only for Sophia to go for the injured limb again. This time however, when
Sophia grabbed Teri’s right leg, the veteran leapt up and nailed her opponent with a devastating
enziguri. The move left both women on the canvas, only this time, it was Sophia who seemed to be in
worse shape.
Gingerly, Teri stood up and started working her leg in an attempt to revive the circulation. When the
dazed Italian Temptress finally stood, Teri pulled her opponent into a front facelock and then drove her
into the mat with a stiff DDT. Sophia bounced off the canvas and then onto her back as she lay
motionless with a glazed look on her face.
JAIME: Yes! Teri has reached way down and now Sophia has to show her resiliency.
DAWN: Damn, I was beginning to like Sophia.
The veteran kept up the pressure as she rolled Sophia onto her stomach and then locked on a crossface
crippler. Now, it was time for Sophia to scream as her neck was torqued incredibly hard. The rookie
realized she had to act quickly and began shifting her body so that her legs moved closer to the ropes.
Though each movement caused another tremor of pain through her neck and back, Sophia gritted her
teeth and continued her progress until she finally draped a foot over the bottom rope and the referee
tapped Teri on the shoulder and asked her to break the hold.
With Sophia dazed, Teri moved in for the kill only to receive a boot to the stomach. With the veteran
doubled over, Sophia realized she probably had one shot left and she took it. Showcasing her
athleticism, Sophia somersaulted over the bent-over Teri, grabbing the veteran around her face as she
went. A second later, the Italian Temptress had dropped to the canvas as she nailed Teri with THE
DAVINCI DROP [somersault snap neckbreaker]. Teri immediately collapsed to the canvas in a heap,
holding her neck. A couple of seconds ticked by before Sophia crawled across her opponent for the pin.
ONE…
TWO…
THR-
At the very last second, Teri rolled her shoulder off the canvas and forced the match to continue.
JAIME: Whew! A very, close call for the Fitness Fox.
DAWN: I hate that referee. He just robbed Sophia of the win.
As her second wind waned, Sophia exited the ring and climbed to the top turnbuckle as she waited for the
still agony-ridden Teri to rise. Slowly, the Jersey native got to her feet and turned around just in time to
see Sophia leap from her perch toward her. On instinct alone, Teri caught Sophia just as she was about
to land a cross-body splash, spun around and drove the rookie into the canvas with a thunderous
powerslam. As a collective ‘Oooh’ rose from the crowd, both women lay on the mat, barely able to move.
Suddenly, Teri kipped up to her feet as Sophia was still struggling to stand. The Italian Temptress turned
around only for Teri to boot her in the stomach. With Sophia doubled over, the Fitness Fox locked on a
front facelock and lifted her opponent into the air. A second later, Teri dropped straight and drove the
exotic beauty’s face into the mat with a modified facebuster. As Sophia rolled back and forth, holding her
face, Teri stood up and pointed at Moorea before she motioned that she was going to end the match.
The veteran yanked Sophia up and locked on a double underhook armlock. Teri then exhibited her
strength as she lifted her foe into the air and held the Italian Temptress in place for fifteen seconds
before she drove the rookie into the canvas with her finisher, THE BOARDWALK BOMB [elevate double
armbar into a brainbuster suplex]. Teri rolled across her opponent and waited for the count.
ONE…
TWO…
THREE!
DING! DING! DING!
RING ANNOUNCER: Your winner and #1 contender for the middleweight title, Teri Mooney!
Teri nodded toward Moorea who had started to back up the ramp and then motioned that she would have
the title around her waist soon.
JAIME: A hard fought win for the magnificent Teri Mooney. All it took was for a mistake by the rookie
and Teri capitalized.
DAWN: Who cares? Neither woman really has a shot against Moorea.
JAIME: We’ll see come the PPV. Let’s take a break and come back with more exciting action.
DAWN: To liven thing up. I know the two in the ring were putting me to sleep.
The redhead came to a halt at the bottom of the ramp with a smirk on her face as Teri abandoned her
attack to step toward the ropes and motion toward the champion that she wanted the belt draped across
the shoulder of the Red Plague. The sexy redhead simply shook her head and feigned as if she were

referee called for the break.

DAWN: I hate that referee. He just robbed Sophia of the win.
As her second wind waned, Sophia exited the ring and climbed to the top turnbuckle as she waited for the
still agony-ridden Teri to rise. Slowly, the Jersey native got to her feet and turned around just in time to
see Sophia leap from her perch toward her. On instinct alone, Teri caught Sophia just as she was about
to land a cross-body splash, spun around and drove the rookie into the canvas with a thunderous
powerslam. As a collective ‘Oooh’ rose from the crowd, both women lay on the mat, barely able to move.
Suddenly, Teri kipped up to her feet as Sophia was still struggling to stand. The Italian Temptress turned
around only for Teri to boot her in the stomach. With Sophia doubled over, the Fitness Fox locked on a
front facelock and lifted her opponent into the air. A second later, Teri dropped straight and drove the
exotic beauty’s face into the mat with a modified facebuster. As Sophia rolled back and forth, holding her
face, Teri stood up and pointed at Moorea before she motioned that she was going to end the match.
The veteran yanked Sophia up and locked on a double underhook armlock. Teri then exhibited her
strength as she lifted her foe into the air and held the Italian Temptress in place for fifteen seconds
before she drove the rookie into the canvas with her finisher, THE BOARDWALK BOMB [elevate double
armbar into a brainbuster suplex]. Teri rolled across her opponent and waited for the count.
ONE…
TWO…
THREE!
DING! DING! DING!
RING ANNOUNCER: Your winner and #1 contender for the middleweight title, Teri Mooney!
Teri nodded toward Moorea who had started to back up the ramp and then motioned that she would have
the title around her waist soon.
JAIME: A hard fought win for the magnificent Teri Mooney. All it took was for a mistake by the rookie
and Teri capitalized.
DAWN: Who cares? Neither woman really has a shot against Moorea.
JAIME: We’ll see come the PPV. Let’s take a break and come back with more exciting action.
