DING!  

Both women circled each other for a few seconds before they locked up collar-and-elbow.  Gail tried to
hold her own, but very quickly Beth’s superior strength won out and she shoved the sexy Korean beauty
against the ropes.  Instead of complying with the referee’s request for a clean break, the Glamazon laced
into Gail with a vicious knife-edged chop.  The powerful blonde quickly followed up with another
resounding chop that sent Gail careening along the ropes toward the near corner with the Glamazon in
hot pursuit.

With The Korean Assassin trapped in the corner, Beth lowered her shoulder and began slamming
thunderous shoulderblocks into Gail’s mid-section.  After the third shoulderblock, the Glamazon grabbed
her foe by the wrist and whipped her across the ring into the opposite corner with such force that the
Asian beauty bounced out and collapsed face-first, holding her throbbing back.

The Glamazon grabbed her stunned opponent and pulled her up only to drive Gail into the canvas with a
wicked looking gutwrench suplex that further aggravated the back of the Korean Assassin.  With a
handful of hair, the blonde powerhouse pulled Gail up, lifted the Asian beauty into her arms and then
drove her spine-first across her knee with a nasty looking across-the-knee backbreaker.  Beth then
shoved her foe down to the mat and made the cover.

ONE…

TWO…

Gail kicked out but the pain written across her face told the story about how her back felt.

JAIME:  Beth has started out fast and seems to have targeted Gail’s back.
DAWN:  I told you Gail was a fluke champion; look at how Beth is manhandling her.

Beth continued her assault on the Korean Assassin as she yanked Gail off the canvas and pulled her
into a standing headscissors. The powerful blonde then jackknifed her foe into the air and across her
shoulder.  The Glamazon locked in the across-the-shoulder backbreaker and began to squeeze as
moans of pain came from the lips of the Korean beauty.  Gail tore at her opponent’s grip to no avail as
her ribs and spine screamed for release.

However, when the sexy Asian began to slam her elbow into the top of the head of the Glamazon, Beth’s
grip loosened slightly.  In response, the blond powerhouse ran toward the far corner and slammed Gail
chest-first into the turnbuckles.  Wickedly, the Glamazon tucked Gail’s boot underneath the turnbuckle
connector to keep her in place in the tree of woe.  With the former champion trapped, Beth backed
across the ring with an ice-cold expression on her face.  The Glamazon then rushed forward and
slammed into Gail’s spine with a sick-looking spear; a howl of agony escaped the Asian’s lips before Beth
dislodged her foe’s boots and tossed her down to the canvas and covered her for the pin.

ONE…

TWO…

TH-

To nearly everyone’s surprise, Gail managed to roll her shoulder off the canvas and force the match to
continue as an enraged Glamazon shouted at the referee for what she claimed was a slow count.

JAIME:  Beth cannot put the former world champion away as easy as that.
DAWN:  Yes, she can.  If the referee would do his job, this match would be over.

Beth yanked Gail up by her hair once more before she spun the Asian around and locked on a  chicken
wing.  However, when the Glamazon grabbed her foe’s other arm and attempted to lift Gail into the air for
her elevated double chicken wing, the Asian beauty began to kick her legs which caused the blonde to
lose her grip.  Further squirming by Gail resulted in the Korean beauty extricating herself from her
opponent’s grip.  This allowed Gail to drop to mat and send a martial arts kick backwards, right into the
face of the Glamazon.

With Beth stunned, Gail spun around on the canvas and executed a perfect leg sweep, taking the
powerful blonde off her feet.  Quickly, Gail kipped to her feet and raced toward the ropes.  As she
rebounded, Beth was just starting to rise.  The former champion slammed into her opponent with a
perfect running dropkick to the face, sending the Glamazon back to the mat.

Gail wasted no time in racing to the near corner and climbing to the top rope.  As Beth staggered to her
feet, the Korean beauty leapt from her perch and slammed into the Glamazon with a picture-perfect
Rocket Dropkick that sent Beth flying across the canvas.  When the blonde powerhouse started to rise,
Gail rushed toward her and nailed her opponent with a
GK1 [Shining Wizard Kick].  Like a shot, Beth
collapsed to the mat and Gail quickly covered her for the pin.

ONE…

TWO…

TH-

Beth kicked out of the pin attempt with authority and a pissed-off look on her face.

JAIME:  Looks like Gail just needed that one opening and now she’s on a roll.
DAWN:  Well, in a few seconds, she will get rolled over by the Glamazon.

Before Beth could rise, Gail moved behind her, grabbed a double handful of hair, planted a knee behind
the Glamazon’s head and drove her into the canvas with
THE KOREAN DRIVER [Kneedrop-Facebuster
combo].  Beth rolled back and forth on the mat, holding her face as Gail hovered behind her.  When the
Glamazon finally staggered to her feet, the former champion nailed her with a wicked spinning heel kick
that caught the blonde right on the jaw and sent her crashing back to the mat.

Again, Gail hovered behind the stunned Glamazon.  Slowly, the blonde powerhouse staggered to her
feet and as she did, Gail moved in.  The sexy Asian spun her foe around, grabbed her by her wrists while
she spun into the powerful blonde.  A second later, Gail dropped Beth with her wicked maneuver,
THE
HAPPY ENDING
[Straight-jacket Neckbreaker Slam].  The former champion quickly covered the stunned
Glamazon and waited for referee to get into position for the count.

ONE…

TWO…

Again, Beth kicked out of the pinning predicament, albeit this time, with a pained expression written
across her face.

JAIME:  Gail is using her hit and run tactics and they seem to be wearing Beth down.
DAWN:  Are you watching the same match as I am?  Beth has Gail right where she wants her.

As Beth struggled to rise, Gail peppered her with a flurry of martial arts strikes and knife-edged chops
that resounded throughout the arena.  The Korean Assassin grabbed her foe by the wrist and started to
whip her across the ring when Beth reversed the move and attempted a short-armed clothesline.  Alertly,
the former champion ducked beneath the blow, pivoted and nailed the Glamazon with a crescent kick to
the back of the blonde’s head that dropped the powerhouse to her knees.

The former champion waited behind her opponent as the blonde tried to shake off the kick to the head
she just received.  As Beth finally stood and turned around, Gail snuck behind her foe and leapt atop the
shoulders of the powerhouse.  Abruptly, the Korean beauty spun around on the blonde’s shoulders and
fell backwards to attempt a hurricanrana.  Unfortunately, Beth was ready for that as she grabbed the
Asian dynamo, lifted her up and then drove her into the mat with a thunderous powerbomb.  As Gail lay
motionless, Beth finally covered her foe for the pin.

ONE…

TWO…

TH-

Once again, Gail managed to lift her shoulder off the mat and prevent the Glamazon from winning.

JAIME:  What a power move by Beth.  Still, it wasn’t enough for the Glamazon to put Gail away.
DAWN:  Get ready for the end Gail.

As Gail crawled toward the nearby ropes, Beth headed for the near corner and climbed to the second
rope.  The Glamazon waited until the former champion used the ropes to stand before she leapt off,
ready to deliver an axehandle smash.  But just as the blow landed, Beth’s legs seemed to buckle and
both women collapsed to the mat, though it was Beth who seemed to be in more pain.

The powerful blonde clutched at her left knee while she grimaced in pain.  Gail made it to her feet and
when she advanced on the downed Glamazon, the referee stepped in between them and ordered the
former champion to a neutral corner.  After the referee and Beth exchanged some angry words, the
blonde tried to stand but couldn’t seem to put any weight on her left leg.  With the aid of the ropes, Beth
finally made it up and screamed at Gail to continue the bout.

JAIME:  Looks like Beth seriously injured her knee on that last move.  I think the referee may call this
bout.
DAWN:  Not if he values his life he won’t.

Gail started to attack the injured blonde when she suddenly stopped in her tracks and walked over to the
ropes and asked to be handed a microphone.  A few seconds later, the sexy Korean had her requested
in hand and began to speak.

GAIL:  Unlike you and your stablemates, I don’t want to see anyone needlessly suffer, so I suggest you
forfeit the match and head to the back to get that knee looked at.

When Beth spit at the former champion and issue her expletive-laden refusal, Gail shook her head and
spoke again.

GAIL:  This is your last chance Beth.  You have two choices: either forfeit the match and get the medical
attention you need or I make sure you need emergency room attention.  Don’t laugh; remember, I wasn’t
always such a fan favorite.  If you don’t believe me, go ask Lisa Hourin, Min Yung Kim or Sasha Ogata.  
You stand between me and MY championship.  Either move or prepare to be roadkill; it’s your choice.

Gail handed the mic to the Glamazon who snatched it away and spoke.

BETH:  C’mon you little nothing.  I am still going to squash you like the bug that you are.

Gail shook her head as Beth tossed the mic away and motioned for the former champion to lock up.  The
Korean Assassin shrugged her shoulders just before she rushed forward.  Gail feinted toward the
juggernaut’s injured knee and when Beth took the bait, the former champion stopped on a dime, spun
around and nailed her foe with a wicked crescent kick to the side of the head of the Glamazon. The blow
spun the powerful grappler around and sent her limping away along the ropes.

The former champion seized the opportunity and clipped the gimpy blonde with a chop block that sent
her crashing to the canvas in an agonized heap.  Almost instantly, the sexy Asian grabbed her opponent
by her injured leg and pulled her to the center of the ring.  The former champion fired off a trio of stomp
to the hamstring of the Glamazon before she scissored the leg and landed a kneedrop to the inside of
the blonde’s injured knee.  A howl of pain escaped Beth’s lips as she futilely swiped at her attacker
before she tried to roll away.

With Beth trying to put some space between herself and the former champion, Gail grabbed the
Glamazon’s injured leg, draped it around her neck and then flipped the blonde onto her stomach, locking
in her finisher,
THE OCTOPUS [Brock Lock, Half-Crab combo].  With the back of her neck as the fulcrum,
Gail clasped her hands together as she tried to dislocate the knee of the blonde powerhouse.

JAIME:  Gail is like a shark who smells blood; she has gone right after that injured knee of The
Glamazon.
DAWN:  This is suddenly looking very bad for Beth.  She may actually lose this match.
JAIME:  Duh!  Ya think?

As the referee leaned in to ask her if she wanted to submit, Beth hissed out a ‘no’ in between screams of
pain.  Somehow, The Glamazon began using her arms to pull her and her attacker toward the ropes and
her salvation.  Beth was a foot away from the ropes when her progress stopped and she began to wail
pitifully.  The blonde’s hand raised off the canvas, seemingly ready to tap out her surrender when she
suddenly raised up on both hands, pulled herself forward and grabbed the bottom rope.  Though she
waited until the count of four, Gail finally released her agonized foe and allowed the blonde to curl into a
fetal ball while she clutched at her damaged knee.

After a few seconds respite, Beth was attacked again by the Korean Assassin as the Asian beauty
dragged the blonde away from the ropes and continued her assault.  The former champion quickly tied
up her opponent’s legs, flipped her onto her stomach and cinched in her finisher,
THE QUEEN OF
SPADES
[Modified Sharpshooter].  Again, the screams of The Glamazon filled the air as her knee and
back were aflame with agony.  Despite this, Beth would not submit.

Once again, the referee asked the blonde powerhouse if she wanted to submit and again, she declined.  
The Glamazon tore at her hair as tears welled up in her eyes from the agony.  Somehow, despite the
pain, Beth once again began to inch her way toward the ropes.  However, this time, the powerful blonde
would only make it a couple of feet before she suddenly stopped moving.  

JAIME:  That’s it!  Gail has done the impossible!
DAWN:  Shut up!  Beth is just resting.

Before the official could see if The Glamazon was still conscious, Gail released the hold and then spun
around so that she hovered over the face-down blonde.  The Korean beauty then began slapping the
back of her opponent’s head as the referee ordered the former champion to a neutral corner.  Finally,
Beth began to stir and Gail backed off with a sly smile on her face.

JAIME:  I haven’t seen this side of Gail before and I’m not sure I care for it.
DAWN:  Actually, I think Gail may have just made me a fan.  Of course, she needs to keep this killer
instinct all the time if she wants to get her title back.

With The Glamazon writhing in pain, Gail rolled the blonde onto her stomach before she locked on a
reverse step-over toehold, grabbed her foe’s injured leg and locked on her finisher
E.M.S.[Skeleton Key
Leglock].  As the former champion pulled back on Beth’s injured leg, something popped and the blonde
began to scream out her surrender.

I QUIT!  I QUIT!  AIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!

The referee called for the bell, but that didn’t prevent Gail from amping up the pressure for another thirty
seconds.  Finally, the former champion mercifully released her beaten opponent and backed away; the
sobbing powerhouse writhed in agony on the mat as the referee raised Gail’s hand in victory.

DING!  DING!  DING!

NINEL CONDE:  Here is your winner….by submission, Gail Kim!!!

JAIME:  I am pretty sure Gail went out of her way to injure Beth’s knee further.  Very unlike her if you ask
me.
DAWN:  Well, nobody WAS asking you.  Gail finally took care of business and sent a message to Trish at
the same time.  Good for her.

Medics rushed into the ring and started to tend to Beth as Gail left the ring and headed to the back.  
After a few minutes, they strapped The Glamazon down to a stretcher after they immobilized her injured
leg and took the pain-wracked blonde to the back.

JAIME:  We will try to have an update on Beth before the show is over folks.
DAWN:  That takes us to the halfway point of the show.  Stick around folks; you are about to see our
General Manager get her ass kicked royally.
JAIME:  You don’t know that.
DAWN:  I have a pretty good idea though.
JAIME:  We’ll be back folks.
JAIME:  Are you ready for this one Dawn?
JAIME:  Be nice.  We have another World Title Tournament match up next.  It will be Gail Kim going up
against The Glamazon, Beth Phoenix.
DAWN:  Don’t you mean, it will be Gail Kim going down to defeat?
JAIME:  I don’t think so.  Remember, Gail Kim is the former champion and until somebody proves
otherwise, I think she has to be the favorite for this tournament.
DAWN:  Gail has a few fancy moves, but she is waaaaay overmatched here.  I’ll take Beth in less than
five minutes.
JAIME:  That’s a bold statement.
DAWN:  I am on the cutting edge.
JAIME:  We’ve got both women backstage, so let’s go to Alyssa Milano who is with the former champion,
Gail Kim.

EPISODE 5
LOCATION: UNITED CENTER [CHICAGO, ILLINOIS]
ALYSSA:  Thanks Jaime.  Gail, you have a tough road ahead of you in your quest to re-capture the gold
you once held.
GAIL:  Unlike you Alyssa, I’m not a Charmed one (giggles).  Seriously though, this tournament is going to
be extremely tough.  We have some of the top wrestlers in the world vying for the honor to be the best.  
But I’ve been there and I intend to be there when this is all over.
ALYSSA:  Earlier tonight, you turned down an opportunity to join Trish Stratus and her group, The Diva
Killers.  And now, you are facing perhaps the strongest member of her stable, The Glamazon, Beth
Phoenix.
GAIL:  That was no opportunity; that was a booby prize from a clueless woman who has gotten lost in her
own hype and only wanted me to do her dirty work for her.  Trish, I will deal with you when the time
comes, but tonight, I am going to The Glamazon why I am the most dangerous woman in this
tournament.  Tonight, you become just another victim.
ALYSSA:  Wow, strong words from the former champion.  Over to you Shannon.
TRISH:  So this is how you want to play this, eh St. John?
MIA:  This is how IT IS!
TRISH:  Fine…….you win……for now.  By the way Lisa, how’s your head?

The Black Widow motioned toward Trish before Mia stepped in and restrained the irate security chief.  A
second later, the Queen of Queens walked away with Lisa and Mia following close behind.

BETH:  As everyone can see, the powers that be will stop at nothing to try to stop The Glamazon, but it
will not work.  Tonight, I am going to destroy Gail Kim for her insulting refusal to join our group and then I
will send her to the hospital to join Melina Perez.

With that, the blonde juggernaut stormed off, clearly fuming.

SHANNON:  Over to you Jaime.

JAIME:  Well, at least our General Manager has evened the playing field for Gail Kim.
DAWN:  Our General Manager has just written the death certificate for Gail.  An pissed-off Glamazon is
something I would never want to face.
JAIME:  We’ll see.  Now, let’s go up to the ring for the introductions.

NINEL CONDE:  This is a World Championship Title Tournament Match.  Introducing first, from Buffalo,
New York; she stands five feet six inches tall and weighs one hundred forty-five pounds.  Here is The
Glamazon, Beth Phoenix!

The powerful blonde strutted onto the stage and struck her ‘regal’ pose for the crowd who promptly
responded with a thunderous round of boos.  A sneer came over The Glamazon’s face as she strode
down the ramp toward the ring.  The blonde juggernaut wore a white and silver catsuit with side cutouts
and a deep V-cleavage cutout.

Beth hopped onto the ring apron, headed for the corner and quickly climbed to the top turnbuckle where
she took a seat facing the crowd.  The blonde struck another pose before she flipped backwards into the
ring, landing on her feet.  After the official checked her for weapons, he started to give her instructions
for the match when she waved him away and waited for her foe to be announced.

NINEL CONDE:  And her opponent; she hails from Toronto, Ontario, Canada, stands five-feet four
inches tall and weighs in at one hundred twenty-four pounds.  She is the former AFW World Champion,
here is The Korean Assassin, Gail Kim!

Gail emerged beneath the JumboTron monitor to a rousing ovation from the crowd.  The former
champion looked every bit the bad-ass behind the mirrored sunglasses she wore.  Striking a pose, Gail
sported a red, vinyl trenchcoat over a red vinyl halter top, matching shorts, red kneepads and red
leather boots.  As the Korean beauty headed down to the ring, she barely smiled, instead keeping her
focus on her foe in the ring.

The Korean Assassin climbed into the ring and scaled the nearest corner.  Gail raised her arms as a part
of the crowd began a chant of her name.  Finally, the former champion jumped down, took off her
trenchcoat and handed it to the ring attendant before she got her instructions from the referee.  The
official then backed away and waved for the opening bell to be sounded.

SHANNON:  I am standing two icons in the world of womens wrestling; Trish Stratus and Beth Phoenix.  
Trish, I am a bit surprised that it is not you who is in this tournament to crown a new World Champion.
TRISH:  Later tonight, everyone will understand why I did not enter this tournament.  But that will be
revealed later.  Right now, we need to talk about the enforcer of the Diva Killers, The Glamazon, Beth
Phoenix.  Beth is going to show why we are the number one group in not only this federation, but the
world.
BETH:  Gail, you are a pretender to the throne.  To me, you are a bug waiting to be squashed and
tonight, I am going to put you out of your misery.  The Glamazon is coming to claim her crown.

Just then, Mia St. John walked up with a smile on her face.

LAW & ORDER G.M.
MIA:  Before you continue Beth, let me inform you of something; all members of The Diva Killers will be
barred from ringside.  Any member of the group that interferes before, during or after the match will be
fined AND fired!  So you will have to do this all on your own.  Trish, let’s go….NOW!

When the blonde started to object, she was quickly flanked by the security chief, Lisa King.
