LISA: It’s time for our next match and it rekindles a rivalry that I’m not sure will ever die.
JENNY: Well, if Melina Perez insists on having issues with Beth Phoenix, dying may just be in her future.
LISA: The only thing I know for sure is that Melina will not give up until she has gotten her revenge.
Time for us to go backstage to our announcer, Alexis Bledel. Take it away Alexis.
DING!
The two grapplers sped from their corners like a pair of runaway locomotives. Just before there was a
head-on collision, Beth stepped to the side and drove a knee into the stomach of the on-rushing Latina;
the impact drove Melina to her knees. The Glamazon pressed her advantage as she grabbed the A-List
Diva by her wrist, yanked her to her feet and straight into a tremendous short-armed clothesline that
drove Melina back to the canvas while Trish and Lisa shouted out their support to their former co-worker.
Beth continued her assault as she yanked the Latina up, grabbed her around the waist and jerked her
into the air before driving her into the canvas with a stiff gut-wrench suplex. The dazed Melina had no
breather as the Glamazon yanked her off the mat and whipped her into the near corner. Beth moved in
and slammed a vicious kneelift into the stomach of her opponent. A second kneelift followed that left
Melina gasping for breath.
The blonde continued to demonstrate her superior strength as she lowered her shoulder and drove it
into Melina’s stomach. A second shoulderblock left the A-List Diva breathless and easy prey for a
thunderous European uppercut that had the Latina seeing stars. Beth then lifted Melina onto her
shoulder, spun around, ran forward and drove the sexy brunette into the canvas with a massive running
powerslam that shook the entire ring. The Glamazon lackadaisically covered her opponent and waited
for the referee to count.
ONE…
TWO…
Melina kicked out of the pin attempt and shook her head, trying to clear her head while Beth argued with
the official over what she perceived to be a slow count.
LISA: Beth won’t get it done that easily. She may have Melina’s number but it’ll take more than a half-
hearted effort to do it.
JENNY: Heart or no heart, Melina is going to be carried from the ring tonight. Beth promised it and I
believe her.
Shaking her head, Beth went back to work and slid behind the still winded brunette. When the Glamazon
grabbed Melina in a double armlock and tried to go for her elevated double chicken wing move, the
Latina began kicking her legs wildly. When Beth dropped her opponent down, Melina countered as she
rolled through and hooked the leg of the surprised Glamazon while the referee was right in position to
count.
ONE…
TWO..
Beth kicked out and quickly kipped back up while Melina did the same. Immediately, the Glamazon
rushed toward the Latina, intent on landing a devastating clothesline. Instead, Melina ducked the
intended blow and the blonde stopped in her tracks, the Latina reached back, grabbed Beth and hit a
sick looking fall-away neckbreaker that had the heavyweight rolling across the canvas holding her neck
while it was Shelly’s turn to shout encouragement to her girl.
LISA: I think Beth may have underestimated the heart of the A-List Diva.
JENNY: What is it with you and your infatuation with hearts tonight? Melina is going down even if Beth
has to drive a stake through her heart.
As Beth sat up, the sexy Latina moved behind her opponent and hit the blonde with a stiff soccer-styled
kick between the blonde’s shoulderblades; the impact elicited a guttural growl of pain from the
heavyweight. A second kick followed and again Beth growled her objections, but this time, she jumped to
her feet only for Melina slam a stiff knee into her opponent’s stomach. With Beth doubled over, Melina
swiftly locked on a front facelock and abruptly nailed her larger foe with a textbook snap suplex.
The A-List Diva jumped back to her feet while Beth tried to shake off the pain coursing up and down her
spine. Melina quickly climbed the nearby corner and waited for the Glamazon to stand. When the dazed
blonde finally did, Melina leapt from her perch and drove Beth’s face into the canvas with a wicked flying
bulldog. The Latina rolled her foe onto her back and hooked the leg for the count.
ONE…
TWO…
TH-
Before Sasha could make the final count, Beth shoved Melina off her and rolled toward the ropes.
LISA: Melina is following a sound game plan. Almost a hit and run type offense geared to wear down
Beth.
JENNY: Beth only has to catch her one time and then Melina will feel like she got hit…by a Mack truck.
Again, Melina headed for the near corner and waited for her opponent to regain her feet. When Beth
finally did, she spotted the Latina sitting on the top turnbuckle and rushed toward her. Melina was
waiting for this and quickly locked her legs around the Glamazon’s head. The brunette bashed Beth
across the top of her head with an axe kick that stunned the blonde who staggered backwards a couple
of steps. Melina used the opening to climb onto the top turnbuckle and then leap off toward her prey.
The A-List Diva wrapped her legs around the blonde’s head in mid-flight and took her to the canvas with
a perfect flying hurricanrana.
With lightning quickness, Melina again raced to the adjacent corner and climbed onto the top turnbuckle
to wait for Beth to get to her feet again. When the blonde finally stood, she staggered around trying to
pick up where Melina was. The Glamazon finally saw her foe but a moment too late as Melina timed her
leap perfectly and nailed the Firebird with a thunderous rocket dropkick that nearly took Beth’s head off.
Melina quickly scrambled over and covered the stunned blonde.
ONE…
TWO…
The blonde heavyweight flipped Melina off her and then rolled onto her hands and knees while Melina
slapped the mat in frustration.
LISA: Melina has nailed Beth with a series of high-risk moves and it seems like she may have the
Glamazon on there ropes.
JENNY: Beth is just biding her time. Sooner or later, the little gremlin’s luck will run out.
Yet again, Melina raced over to the nearby corner and climbed to the top turnbuckle. Once Beth got up
and turned around, the Latina flew from her perch as she spread her arm for a cross body press.
Unfortunately, the Glamazon was ready and caught her opponent in mid-flight. Beth then bared her
teeth before she drove her knee into Melina’s spine with an across-the-knee backbreaker that caused
the Latina to utter a bloodcurdling scream while a look of fear came across Shelly’s face on the outside.
The blonde heavyweight felt her jaw and then gritted her teeth as she jerked her smaller foe up to her
feet and then lifted her into the air and high over her head. The Glamazon further demonstrated her
superior strength as she walked halfway around the ring before she sent the Latina crashing to the
canvas with her Gorilla Press Slam. Again, a howl of agony came from Melina as pain zig-zagged up and
down her spine.
JENNY: I told you that Melina was going to regret her words. Wonder if she feels so fiery now?
LISA: Melina is in trouble here and has to regroup fast. It won’t take long for Beth to get nasty and if she
does, the A-List Diva may indeed regret taking this match.
JENNY: Heart or no heart, Melina is going to be carried from the ring tonight. Beth promised it and I
believe her.
With the Latina stunned and Trish and Lisa shouting encouragement to her, Beth backed against the
ropes on the opposite side of the ring and waited for her opponent to stand. Agony was etched on
Melina’s face as she crawled over to the ropes and used them to regain her feet. However, when the A-
List Diva turned around, Beth sped toward her like a locomotive and nailed the brunette with a vicious
spear that drove the Latina through the ropes and down to the arena floor.
Suddenly, Trish jumped onto the ring apron, distracting Sasha just as Melina was struggling to get to her
feet on the arena floor with the help of Shelly. As Shelly aided her friend, Beth exited the ring and
grabbed the Barrio Beauty from behind while she sent a thunderous punt between Melina’s legs; the
impact sending the A-List Diva to her knees. Then, the Glamazon whipped Shelly into the ringside steps
with such force, the steps separated as the Barrio Beauty lay on the arena floor writhing in pain.
LISA: C’mon Sasha, stop bothering with Trish and get your head into the game. Beth is getting away
with murder.
JENNY: Getting away with what? I saw nothing but the Glamazon taking out the trash.
Trish continued to keep Sasha distracted and it allowed Beth to return her focus to Melina. The
Glamazon grabbed the still stunned Latina in a bearhug and ran forward, ramming Melina’s spine into the
edge of the ring. A chilling howl of agony came from the A-List Diva as she crumpled to the arena floor
holding her back as shockwaves of pain ran up and down her spine.
The cry alerted Sasha as to what was happening and she turned away from Trish to intervene, but just
then, Lisa Marie leapt onto the ring apron on the side adjacent to where Trish was and the inexperienced
referee again diverted her attention away from the real action. This distraction proved costly as Beth
had reached underneath the ring and retrieved a steel chair. Just as Melina struggled to stand, Beth
raised the chair over her head and as the Latina turned around, brought the weapon down with such
force, that the sound of skull meeting metal could be heard around the arena. Immediately, Melina
collapsed face down on the thinly padded arena floor as Beth discarded her weapon and rolled back
inside the ring.
LISA: Damn that Glamazon. She had her friends distract Sasha so that she could use that chair.
JENNY: Hey, it’s only illegal if you get caught at it. She wasn’t so, no harm no foul.
LISA: How can you say that? Look at Melina…..she’s been busted wide open.
While the referee chastised Beth, Melina tried to rise but quickly collapsed to her knees as blood
streamed down her face from a nasty gash over her right eye courtesy of the chairshot from the
Glamazon. The official leapt from the ring and tried to take a closer look at the wound to determine if the
bout should be stopped, but Beth would have none of it as she reached through the ropes and pulled a
screaming, blood-soaked Melina back into the ring.
Beth yanked Melina to her feet, spun her around and launched a stiff kick into her opponent’s stomach,
doubling her over. The Glamazon swiftly locker her arms around the Latina’s waist and hoisted the
brunette onto her shoulder and locked on an over-the-shoulder backbreaker. Blood streamed into her
hair and onto the canvas below but Melina refused to submit when asked by the referee.
LISA: The referee may have to stop this. That cut is really, really bad and Melina is bleeding profusely.
JENNY: You mean she’s bleeding like the stuffed pig that she is.
When the Glamazon tightened her grip and began to bounce Melina up and down and to and fro, the
Latina’s cries filled the air as her spine suffered tremors of agony but still she refused to submit.
Abruptly, the A-List Diva began driving her elbows into her attacker’s arms and face. When one strike
nailed her in the jaw, the blonde suddenly flipped Melina down to the mat face first.
Enraged, Beth then ripped her nemesis off the mat and while holding her in place with one hand, began
slapping Melina across the face. When the A-List Diva attempted to resist, the Glamazon slammed a
knee into her opponent’s stomach, doubling her over. Abruptly, the blonde scooped her bloodied
opponent onto her shoulders and headed over to the near corner. Showcasing her strength, Beth
climbed to the second turnbuckle and then leapt off, driving Melina into the canvas with her finisher, the
BETH VALLEY DRIVER [second rope Death Valley Driver]. A smile came across the Glamazon’s face as
she pressed both hands against the chest of the unmoving Melina and waited for Sasha to make the
count.
ONE….
TWO….
THR-
At the very last second, Melina somehow rolled a shoulder off the canvas and forced the match to
continue while outside the ring, Trish had grabbed a still stunned Shelly and nailed her with a wicked
spinebuster slam onto the arena floor.
JENNY: Bad move for Melina there. She could have stopped all her suffering if she had just accepted
that final count. Now, Beth is gonna really make her pay.
LISA: Melina doesn’t have any quit in her. She will battle Beth until she can barely move or breathe, but
Shelly is getting mugged outside the ring.
JENNY: Hey, it’s her funeral. Besides, nobody asked her to come down here. She gets what she
deserves.
Livid, Beth yanked Melina up with a handful of hair and then Irish-whipped her into the far corner; the
Latina hit the turnbuckles hard and collapsed with only the ropes holding her up. The Glamazon then
took off, ready to nail her bloodied opponent in the corner with a bone-jarring spear. Instead, Melina’s
instincts took over and she slid out of the way just in time while Beth flew between the ropes and
slammed her shoulder into the steel ringpost.
The A-List Diva struggled to her feet with the aid of the ropes and then wiped the blood from her eyes as
Beth still lay on the ropes, trying to block out the pain shooting through her left shoulder and arm.
Slowly, a rush of adrenaline coursed through the bloodied Latina’s body as she bared her teeth and
hovered behind the Glamazon. When the heavyweight finally freed herself from the ropes, she
staggered backwards holding her left arm. As Beth turned around, Melina pounced on the blonde,
grabbed a handful of her tresses and drove her face into the canvas with her finisher, THE SNAPSHOT
[spinning kneel-out facebuster].
ONE…
TWO…
The blonde easily shoved Melina off her, interrupting the pin attempt before she scrambled over to the
ropes.
JENNY: That chairshot must have scrambled Melina’s brains if she really thought that was going to
finish off the Glamazon.
LISA: Rome wasn’t built in a day and Melina doesn’t have to try to put Beth away with one move. But if
she hits enough of them in a row, she can win this thing.
Both women got to their feet quickly, but Melina was a bit quicker and proved to be an advantage when
Beth rushed toward her. The Latina ducked slightly to the side and used the Firebird’s momentum to lift
her into the air and fall backwards, nailing the blonde with a stunning flapjack suplex. Quick as a cat,
Melina was on the prone blonde and quickly applied a bow and arrow maneuver. Beth screamed out as
her arms felt as though they were being ripped from their sockets. Abruptly, the blood-soaked Latina
lifted her opponent off the canvas and then drove The Glamazon chest first into mat with a vicious curb
stomp.
With Beth still face down, dropped a stiff elbow drop between the blonde’s shoulderblades. Melina
quickly kipped back up, grabbed the Glamazon’s legs and applied an inverted Indian Deathlock before
she bridged backwards and cinched in her finisher CALIFORNIA DREAMS [inverted STF]. Immediately,
Sasha dropped down and asked Beth if she wanted to submit but the blonde growled out her denial
before she tried to break Melina’s grip to no avail.
Despite the pain to her neck and spine, the Glamazon began using her forearms to pull herself and her
attacker toward the ropes. Seconds ticked by as sweat poured off the blonde’s brow and blood
continued leak from Melina’s wounds. When the Firebird was within reach of the ropes, she grabbed at
the bottom rope just as Melina pulled back on her torturous hold and the blonde only grazed the means
to her release. However, a second later, she pulled herself forward enough to clutch the bottom strand
and force the Latina to release her.
LISA: Melina is chipping away at Beth but I think she has to work faster; it won’t be long before her blood
loss starts to affect her.
JENNY: She can’t keep this up and when she finally slows down, Beth will be waiting to pulverize her.
With her adrenaline still in high gear, Melina dragged Beth to her feet, wrapped her arms around the
blonde’s waist, hoisted her up and then drover the Firebird’s spine into her knee with an across-the-knee
backbreaker that had the Glamazon howling. Before Beth could recover, the A-List Diva pulled her
opponent up, locked on a front facelock and then drove Beth’s skull into the canvas with a sick looking
implant DDT.
Again, Melina wiped the blood from her eyes and yanked a very dazed Beth off the canvas. The Latina
spun her opponent around and locked on an inverted facelock before she made a throat cutting
gesture. A second later, Melina drove Beth’s head into the mat with her finisher, THE SAN ANDREAS
FAULT [spinning legdrop, inverted DDT]. Melina lay across the blonde and hooked her leg for the pin.
Sasha was about to leap into position but just then, Trish leapt onto the ring apron and threatened to
enter the ring. The tiny official quickly blocked the blonde from entering as Melina looked around,
wondering where the referee was while the crowd began counting in unison.
LISA: This is a travesty. Melina has done the impossible and has Beth beaten, but Trish has distracted
the ref.
JENNY: Trish is only trying to point something out to Sasha. Besides, if she were counting, Beth would’
ve kicked out. She’s just conserving her strength.
The crowd had counted to eight when Melina jumped up and nailed Trish with a flying forearm that
knocked her off the ring apron. Just as Trish was sent sprawling, Lisa rolled into the ring on the adjacent
side. Melina caught the interfering brunette just as she got to her feet, grabbed the Black Widow by her
waistband and her hair, spun her around and sent her flying over the top rope and down to the floor.
Unfortunately, the Latina didn’t hear the shouts of warning from the crowd and when she spun around,
Beth slammed into her with a bone-jarring spear that sent the A-List Diva crashing to the canvas, holding
her ribs. The blonde shook her head for a second before a maniacal look came over her face as she
hovered over the bloodied Melina who still lay on her back and clutched at her throbbing ribs.
LISA: Suddenly, I’m very afraid for Melina.
JENNY: Too late for that now. Here comes the pain.
Beth stood over her stunned foe, grabbed the brunette’s legs, and pulled the Latina through, lifting her
into the air before she drove her into the canvas with a thunderous sit-out wheelbarrow facebuster. With
Melina unmoving, the Glamazon folded the semi-conscious Latina’s legs in front of her and then locked
on her finisher, THE GLAM SLAM [wheelbarrow facebuster into a double chicken wing camel clutch].
Sasha moved in and asked the A-List Diva if she wanted to submit. Though she was still losing blood
and her spine and shoulder were aflame with pain, Melina closed her eyes and refused to give in to her
hated rival. Beth pulled back harder and then screamed at the referee to ask the Latina if she wanted to
submit. Melina simply shook her head no and whispered her denial.
BETH: Give it up you slimy, worthless whore…….or I’ll really give you something to scream about.
MELINA: F-F-Fuck you.
Beth’s eyes widened with anger as she shoved Melina face first into the canvas. Wasting no time, the
blonde reached forward, grabbed a handful of Melina’s hair and pulled her back up long enough to clasp
her hands together over the Latina’s nose and mouth before she pulled back on THE GLAM SLAM so
much that the back of Melina’s head touched the soles of her boots. With blood still streaming down her
face and her oxygen supply cut off, Melina began to frantically tap out. Though Sasha quickly called for
the bell, Beth maintained her torturous hold for another few seconds, releasing it just before Melina
would have passed out.
DING! DING! DING!
RING ANNOUNCER: Your winner, by submission, The Glamazon, Beth Phoenix!
LISA: Good Lord. Beth nearly snapped Melina’s spine and suffocated her. That woman is an animal.
JENNY: She is the Glamazon and she cannot be stopped. Melina has more heart than brains; she
should know she can’t defeat Beth.
Trish and Lisa Marie quickly entered the ring, grabbed Sasha and tossed her over the top rope and
down to the arena floor. With the referee disposed of, the three heels began to put the boots to Melina.
Trish then yanked the bloodied grappler off the mat and led her over to the ropes. The trio threaded
Melina underneath the top rope while locking the brunette’s arms in place over the top strand. Beth then
climbed onto the middle rope behind the agonized Latina and sank her teeth into Melina’s face, opening
up her nasty wound further while Trish and Lisa Marie slammed kick after kick into the tortured grappler’s
ribs.
LISA: Where the hell is security? I thought Madusa promised that there would be none of these
incidents.
JENNY: Promises, promises.
As if on cue, the JumboTron switched to a scene in the locker room where a melee had broken out.
Women were flying everywhere and at the heart of the melee were three women: MsChif, Shannon Spruill
and Annie Social aka American Gothic.
RING ANNOUNCER: And her opponent, from Buffalo, New York, she stands five feet-six inches tall and
weighs in at one hundred forty-five pounds………she is The Glamazon, Beth Phoenix!!!
Beth stepped onto the stage beneath the JumboTron and struck her trademark glamour pose only to
receive a rousing round of boos and heckles from the pro-Melina crowd. The heavyweight wore a
sleeveless, navy blue, one piece cat-suit with a V-cut bodice that showcased her cleavage, knee-high
wrestling boots with ‘GLAMAZON’ stenciled on each side and a sequined belt. The blonde flexed her
impressive biceps before she walked to the top of the ramp. Slowly, the blonde spread her arms and two
figures emerged from the back. It was Trish Stratus and Lisa Marie Varon.
ALEXIS: Thank you Lisa. I’m here with Melina Perez. I understand you demanded this match tonight.
MELINA: That’s right, I did. That self-centered, windbag got together with her slimy friends and
managed to injure my good friend Mercedes Martinez back on the Danger Zone. It wasn’t bad enough
that she had just come back from shoulder surgery when she signed up with the AFW, but Beth and that
other slut Melissa Anderson managed to re-injure my girl’s shoulder. Thank God it wasn’t as bad this
time and she didn’t need more surgery. But tonight, I’m going to get a little payback from that pumped up
tramp.
ALEXIS: I know you and Beth have a history from another federation. Do you still harbor a grudge?
MELINA: A grudge? That puta will never shine as bright as me, look as spectacular as I do or be as
sexy as I am. The closest she can get to a man are the gorilla down at the zoo. But here’s a news flash
Beth or should I say, the Glama-ape; you tried to hurt me several times before and I may have bent but
you never broke me. But tonight, I’m gonna break something on you and then you’ll get some quality
time off……hopefully to get some plastic surgery so you don’t go around scaring young children.
ALEXIS: Ouch. Anything else Melina?
MELINA: Yeah…….¿Tu piensa que tu es mejor que yo? Soy Latina y nada que tu dice o puede la
marca que mí dejo. ¿Por qué? Porque tengo algo tu nunca tendrá. .....mi corazon.
With that Melina headed off down the hallway and presumably to the ring.
LISA: I think Beth may have underestimated just how pissed off Melina is right now.
JENNY: She must be…..she forgot how to speak English. It doesn’t matter though. She has no chance
tonight and I know why.
LISA: So…..spill it. What’s up?
JENNY: Nope, you’ll just have to wait and see.
LISA: (sighing) Whatever. Let’s go to the ring announcer for the introductions.
RING ANNOUNCER: Introducing first, from Los Angeles, California, she stands five feet-four inches tall
and weighs in at one hundred twenty-two pounds…..here is the A-List Diva, Melina Perez!!!
The sexy Latina came onto the stage striking several poses for charged up crowd who gave her a
thunderous ovation. Flashing her killer smile, the A-List Diva sashayed down the ramp as many of men
in the crowd barked their approval. As she reached the ring, Melina climbed onto the ring apron before
she shook her money maker for the males in the front row and then dropped down into her trademark
split before sliding underneath the bottom rope and entering the ring.
Melina wore a reinforced blue and silver paisley halter top, matching spandex pants with a sequined
waistband, blue and silver forearm warmers and navy blue furry boots as she climbed each corner and
struck a pose for the appreciative audience. Finally, the Latina dismounted and came to center ring to
get her instructions for the match from referee Sasha Cohen.

ALEXIS BLEDEL BACKSTAGE INTERVIEWER
|
|
|
Security finally burst into the area and tried to separate the three Goth grapplers from their irate victims,
but just as it seemed the fracas had been squelched, the antagonists broke away from security and
resumed their attack.
LISA: Dammit, we need more security.
JENNY: I think Melina is about to need a doctor……..or an undertaker.
As the heels continued to tear Melina apart, a recovered Shelly slid into the ring behind the three heels.
Quickly, the Latina shoved Beth over the top rope and down to the arena floor before she grabbed a
handful of Lisa Marie’s hair and threw her to the canvas. When Trish moved in to attack, The Barrio
Beauty slammed a mule kick into the blonde’s stomach before she crashed into the Toronto native with a
clothesline that sent the former champion sprawling.
Shelly turned around just in time to block an overhand right from Lisa Marie. The two women then traded
blows before the Latina ducked another overhand right and nailed Lisa with a martial arts kick to the
stomach. With Lisa doubled over, Shelly nailed the Black Widow with her finisher, SHELLY SHOCKED
[sit-out facebuster]. However, as Shelly tried to free Melina from the ropes, Beth reached underneath
the bottom rope, grabbed the Latina by her ankles and pulled her out of the ring.
LISA: The numbers are just too much for Shelly. Where is the help?.
JENNY: Shelly is about to need more than help.
The Barrio Beauty had barely landed on the arena floor when Beth slammed into her with a wicked
clothesline that sent the Latina crashing to the thinly padded arena floor. As the sexy brunette struggled
to get back to her feet, Beth retrieved another chair from beneath the ring and as Shelly turned around,
the Firebird slammed the metal chair over the brunette’s head. Like a shot, Shelly crumpled to the floor
as Beth slid the chair into the ring.
When Beth pulled Shelly up, The Barrio Beauty looked as grisly as Melina as blood streamed down her
face courtesy of the chairshot. The Glamazon rolled the dazed brunette into the ring where an angry
Lisa awaited. The Black Widow pulled the bloodied Latina into a standing headscissors before she
flipped Shelly onto her shoulders and then into a hangman’s hold while Trish hovered a few feet behind.
Abruptly, Lisa dropped straight down, nailing the Latina with her finisher, THE WIDOW’S PEAK
[Hangman’s Drop Neckbreaker] But before Shelly could collapse face first onto the canvas, Trish nailed
the Barrio Beauty with her finisher, THE STRATUSPHERE [roundhouse kick]; the blow landed squarely
on the Latina’s jaw and sent her into dreamland.
LISA: Damn these women. Can’t somebody help Melina and Shelly?
JENNY: Trish and her crew are making a statement to Madusa and the rest of the AFW. They’re saying
they make their own rules.
Trish and Lisa then disengaged Melina from the ropes and held her upright as Beth slid back into the
ring with the steel chair in hand. With an evil smile on her face, the Glamazon slammed the chair over
Melina’s and watched with glee as her cohorts released the Latina who fell face first onto the canvas. A
pool of blood began to form around her face as her wounds had obviously been re-opened.
Quickly, the blonde moved behind the now barely conscious blood-covered brunette and locked on her
finisher, THE GLAM SLAM once more; this time, Beth fish-hooked Melina’s mouth and yanked back with
all her might. As blood streamed into her mouth, Melina’s gurgled screams sickened many at ringside
while Trish and Lisa cheered their friend on. The Latina’s cries reached a crescendo and then abruptly,
her arms fell limply to the canvas while Beth pulled her victim’s head against the soles of her boots.
Suddenly, a figure sped down the ramp, a steel chair in hand. It was Mercedes Martinez.
LISA: What the hell is this? Why does Beth have these two with her?
JENNY: God you are dense. Since all the old stables are kaput, I think this is probably the start of a
new one.
Though the appearance of the two former champions garnered some applause, the trio still was greeted
with mostly boos as they headed down the ramp with Beth in the lead. As the Glamazon climbed into the
ring, Trish and Lisa circled the ring on opposite sides until they were on the side behind Melina.
The A-List Diva was objecting loudly to Sasha when another figure sped down the ramp and then leapt
onto the ring apron. It was Shelly Martinez.
When Sasha came over and began to warn Shelly, the Barrio Beauty made it clear she would not leave
until Beth’s helpers did the same. For a few minutes, the tiny official tried to force the interlopers to
return to the back but when Beth threatened to forfeit the match, Sasha relented, but warned the outside
girls that any interference would result in their wrestler being disqualified. Finally, Shelly dropped down
to the arena floor while Beth and Melina returned to their respective corners to await the opening bell.
The look of hatred in Mercedes’ eyes was enough to cause Beth to abandon her hold and along with
Trish and Lisa, beat a hasty retreat from the opposite side of the ring just as The Latina Sensation
entered; her weapon in hand. The heels circled the ring as Mercedes stood guard over the unconscious
Melina and shouted angry insults at the trio. Medical personnel finally came sprinting down the ramp just
before Beth and her cronies disappeared backstage.
LISA: I don’t know why Mercedes is here but I am thankful she showed. Another few seconds and I think
that would have been the end of Melina’s career.
JENNY: It still might be; the Glamazon had that hold locked in a long time.
LISA: I really, really hope she isn’t seriously injured. Damn, those three. The only consolation is that I’m
sure that our General Manager won’t let them get away with that.
JENNY: Yeah, I think that really helps Melina and Shelly now, huh?
LISA: We’ll take a quick break and come back with more action and an update on the condition of Melina
and Shelly.
