DING!
The two wrestlers left their corners at the sound of the bell. Erica’s look of over confidence had changed
into a little bit of worry. Elisa stared cold daggers at Erica and approached the taller blonde.
ELISA: “Erica… I will give you one chance, we can do this the easy way or we can do this the hard way.
Because the match just started, you have one chance to lie on the ground, let me pin you as Amy counts
to 3, and you can walk out of the arena and make your way back to XFW. If you don’t lie down, I will hurt
you. I will make sure you won’t be able to walk out of here on your own tonight. I will make you bleed. I
will lick the blood from your face. I will make you beg for my mercy. The choice is yours.”
ERICA: “Look lady, I don’t know who you the fuck think you are. Sure you may look a little stronger than
me. But I don’t think you’ve wrestled one day in your life. I’m a veteran and I know I can go toe-to-toe
with you and beat you. I might even injure you. So I beg you… Walk out of the ring, and go back to
wherever the hell it is that you came from.”
LISA: Looks like each girl is trying to get into the other’s head. Elisa started it but Erica is not one to
back down. I wish we could hear what they are saying.
JENNY: Whatever it is, both competitors are getting tense. I think Erica might be firing up Elisa a little
too much with her last comment.
ELISA: Ha,ha,ha… You call that begging? I know you can beg better than that.
With a quick shove, Erica pushed Elisa back a little bit. Elisa fired back with her own shove, knocking
Erica to the ground. Erica was a little astounded by the power of her shorter competitor. As Erica was
getting to her feet she noticed Elisa running at her with a clothesline and was able to duck underneath
the clothesline attempt. As Elisa turned around, Erica nailed her with a boot into her taut abdomen that
doubled Elisa over. Erica then connected with a knee lift that smashed into Elisa’s face standing the
brunette back up, slightly dazed. Erica continued to press her advantage and landed a huge clothesline
on Elisa knocking her down to the ground.
LISA: Erica has gained the early advantage here using her experience. She’s going to have to keep it
up, and not let Elisa back in the match.
JENNY: That’s a lot easier said than done.
Erica grabbed Elisa and brought her to her feet, scooped her up and hit a perfectly executed bodyslam
on to Elisa. The Southern Princess followed that up with a knee drop to Elisa’s abdomen. Erica, noticing
that Elisa was not trying hard to cover up and defend herself, hit her foe with another knee drop.
LISA: Hmm, Elisa’s not even trying to defend herself right now. Maybe she is out of her league here.
Erica picked Elisa back up to her feet and launched her against the ropes with an Irish Whip maneuver.
As Elisa rebounded, the Kentucky beauty was waiting and landed a hard powerslam. Erica quickly
picked up the brunette again, this time placing her on her shoulder, ran a few steps and hit her with a
running powerslam. Erica kept the powerslam position on and went for the pin.
ONE….
TWO…..
Elisa lifted her shoulder off of the mat and Erica, not surprised, got back to her feet ready to attack
again. As Elisa was getting back to her feet, Erica kicked the Italian beauty in her abdomen again. Erica
bounced off the ropes and landed THE SKG [Scissors Kick]; a move that had won her several matches in
the minors. Erica again went for the pin.
ONE…
TWO…
TH…
Elisa kicked out of the pin attempt again before the count of three.
LISA: Well, Elisa looks like she still has a little fight in her.
JENNY: She’s gotta get back in this match and get Erica off her game.
ERICA: You thought you were going to make me beg, bitch? You haven’t even landed a move yet! I’m
going to end your sorry ass soon and I’ll take my place in AFW.
Erica taunted her foe as she lifted Elisa back to her feet. The Kentucky Amazon Irish Whipped her
opponent into the far corner, ran towards her and nailed her with a big splash. The Southern Princess
then showed off her leg strength as she put a boot into Elisa’s throat in the corner, lifting Elisa off the
ground. The referee counted and Erica broke the boot choke hold at the count of four.
The AFW hopeful moved into the dazed Elisa and landed a couple of hard abdomen punches. She then
Irish Whipped Elisa into the opposite corner ran towards her, and hit another splash in that corner. Erica
backed off and Elisa fell to the mat after taking a couple of jagged steps forward. Erica then posed for
the crowd, showing off the muscles she had and thinking it was getting to be time to end this squash
match. Erica lifted Elisa off the ground, wrapped her arms around the dazed Elisa and landed a belly-to-
belly suplex on the brunette.
ERICA: You certainly talked a big game there, but in a few seconds, I’m going to pin you and end your
embarrassment.
Erica lifted Elisa off the ground again, this time putting the bigger brunette onto her shoulders and
positioning her for her finisher, ERICA’S EXECUTION [the F-5]. Erica executed the move perfectly,
placed her boot on Elisa’s abdomen as the referee counted.
ERICA: Another victim has been executed….
ONE…
TWO…
THR-.
Elisa kicked out of the count at the last split second.
LISA: Wow! I thought Elisa was done for sure after that move. I’m sure if Erica would’ve pinned her and
hooked the leg, this match would be over.
JENNY: I think Elisa is showing resiliency that we don’t see from girls in the minor leagues.
LISA: Yeah, but Erica has dominated this match so far. I think it will be over very soon. Elisa is showing
some heart though as she refuses to be pinned.
Erica, looking frustrated, now picked Elisa back up and Irish Whipped her back in the corner.
LISA: I think Erica is getting ready to end this match once and for all here with her other finisher, THE
SUB-ZERO [Second Rope Jackhammer Suplex].
Erica ran at Elisa looking to hit another splash and as she neared, leapt off the ground. Elisa sprang to
life out of her dazed look and caught Erica in a bear hug. The Kentucky beauty’s surprised look was
classic and Elisa’s look turned from dazed into one of anger. Elisa had Erica trapped in her massive
arms and began to shake the taller blonde. Simply Phenomenal adjusted the hold as she placed an arm
across Erica’s chest and her other arm across Erica’s back. The strong Italian grappler then lifted Erica
off the ground with ease and connected with lifting side slam.
JENNY: I think that might be the move to get Elisa back in this match.
Both wrestlers were on the ground as Amy began to count.
ONE.....TWO.....THREE.....FOUR…
Erica started to get back to her feet and looked over at her opponent to see if she was recovering. To
Erica’s surprise, Elisa kipped up off the ground and smiled at her.
ELISA: You’re not bad hon; nowhere near my league, but I’m sure you can hold your own in the minors.
Now about that making you beg part, give me a little time. I want to enjoy hurting you first.
With that Elisa charged Erica and nailed her in the head with a vicious Running Mafia Kick knocking the
Kentucky Amazon down to the canvas. Elisa grabbed Erica by her clavicle/deltoid area as she straddled
over Erica’s body and landed a huge headbutt sending Erica crashing back down to the mat. Elisa then
grabbed Erica, showed off her strength by lifting Erica over her head and tossed her into the barricade
outside of the ring. Erica’s back crashed into the barricade and the Southern Princess started to
convulse a little from the impact. Elisa flexed for the crowd who started to boo Elisa as she aimed to
destroy her opponent. Elisa slowly made her way out of the ring, knowing she had time to spare before
she attacked Erica again.
LISA: Wow! This girl is brutal and the referee should stop the match now. I’m not sure if Erica can even
defend herself after that last move.
JENNY: Ha, ha, ha; Elisa was biding her time and just toying with Erica. If I was Erica, I would’ve taken
the first option Elisa presented to her; then, she would’ve been able to walk out of the arena.
Elisa slowly walked over to the injured Erica. The Southern Princess was still struggling to get to her feet
when she launched a punch from her knees and hit Elisa in her abdomen. The powerful Italian grappler
shrugged off the blow, and landed a vicious kick to Erica’s abdomen. Elisa wrapped her arm around
Erica’s head, lifted her off the ground and hit a vicious high impact DDT on the thin padding around the
ring. Elisa lifted the lighter blonde back to her feet and Irish-whipped her back-first into the steel steps
by the ring. Erica crumbled to the ground after the impact with the steps.
JENNY: Elisa is definitely in full-control of the match now; just like I called at the beginning of the match.
LISA: Well, she better get Erica back in the ring soon before the referee makes a double count-out.
SIX.....SEVEN……
Elisa walked over to Erica nonchalantly and lifted her off the ground. She showed her strength again by
tossing the lighter blonde back into the ring and climbed in after her.
LISA: (yelling at the referee) Come on Amy! The match is over… Stop it already!
Elisa pulled her foe up into a standing head-scissors position and lifted the agonized blonde into the air
before she drove her into the mat with a huge powerbomb. Still, Elisa did not let go and lifted Erica in the
air again, keeping the powerbomb position locked on before she landed another powerbomb and
completed her finisher, THE COSTA CONCUSSION [Double Powerbomb]. Erica started convulsing
again in the ring, clearly feeling the impact on her head, back, and spine, and Elisa smelled blood. Or at
least, she wanted to see blood.
Elisa yanked her opponent to her feet and a wobbly Erica was clearly dazed. Elisa backed up, rushed at
Erica and hit her square in the face with a running mafia kick. Blood flew from Erica’s mouth as soon as
the move connected and the Southern Belle collapsed to the mat. Elisa went for the cover and Amy
began to make the count.
ONE…
TWO…
THR-
At the last second, Elisa lifted Erica’s shoulder off the canvas to break the pin.
LISA: C’mon Amy... this match is over…
JENNY: Well, I think Elisa told Erica at the start of the match that she could do this the easy way or the
hard way. Erica brought this upon herself by choosing the hard way. Elisa gave her the chance to walk
out. I don’t think Erica is going to have that chance anymore.
Elisa lifted Erica up from off the ground and thought about putting her in a bearhug, but knew that if she
applied a submission maneuver to the Southern Princess, she would tap out and put an end to the
match. Instead, Elisa showed her power once more as she lifted Erica over her head with a Gorilla
Press. Simply Phenomenal then dropped to one knee and let her victim fall across her knee with a
Gorilla Press into an over the knee backbreaker. Erica again started twitching on the ground with more
intense pain shooting through her back.
LISA: This woman is a monster.
JENNY: I love it!
Elisa bent down and lifted Erica up to her feet. Once again, the Italian powerhouse picked her opponent
up and lifted her over her head with another Gorilla Press. This time, instead of landing a backbreaker
from the Gorilla Press position, Elisa tossed Erica a little in front of her. With a fluid motion, Elisa took
one step forward, spun around and landed a perfect spinning heel kick on Erica, on her way down; the
move completed her finisher, THE PHENOM EXPRESS [Gorilla Press into a Spinning Heel Kick].
A sound of awe went through the crowd as if they were thoroughly impressed. Erica coughed up more
blood as she hit the canvas. Elisa posed and flexed again for the buzzing crowd before she walked
confidently over to the broken Erica and straddled her again. The merciless Italian grappler lifted Erica’s
head closer to hers and licked a stream of blood off her face.
ELISA: I told you I would break you. I told you I would make you bleed and lick the blood from your face.
What do I have left to do to you? Oh yeah, that’s right; make sure you can’t walk out here.
Elisa lifted the semi-conscious blonde to her feet. She positioned herself behind the Kentucky beauty
and positioned her arm around Erica’s neck. Elisa then brought Erica’s back down across her knee
hitting her Inverted Headlock Backbreaker. Erica screamed in pain as the move put more pressure on
her already injured back.
LISA: She’s going to cripple her!
JENNY: Elisa’s amazing isn’t she? This was an awesome booking by Debra.
Elisa launched Erica towards the corner with an Irish-whip. The merciless Italian grappler ran after her
foe and landed a huge spear into Erica’s injured body; the impact nearly broke the Southern Princess in
two. Erica, who had coughed up more blood after the spear, was then picked up by the Italian
juggernaut and thrown her back into the corner. Elisa lifted her defenseless opponent up to the top
turnbuckle in a seated position and then started to climb up the turnbuckle herself. The semi-conscious
Erica offered no resistance as Elisa lifted her foe into the air in a vertical suplex position before she
launched herself backwards off the top rope. Instead of dropping Erica back onto the top turnbuckle
head first or backwards for a superplex, she brought Erica straight down and drove her skull into the
canvas, which completed her finisher, THE COSTA CRIPPLER [Top Rope Brainbuster]. This started a
“HOLY SHIT” chant in the arena as Erica began convulsing almost in a seizure motion. Elisa straddled
Erica one more time; this time, laying her knees on top of Erica’s shoulders and flexing as Amy dialed in
the count.
ONE…
TWO…
THREE!
DING! DING! DING!
Elisa flexed for the crowd one more time, kissing each bicep, and waited for Amy to raise her hand in
victory.
AMERIE ROGERS: Your winner, by pinfall, and newest addition to the AFW roster, “Simply
Phenomenal” Elisa Costa.
LISA: I think I’m going to be sick. Elisa might have ended Erica’s career as a wrestler.
JENNY: Yeah, but she did give her a choice. It’s more Erica’s fault than anything.
The medics rushed out to the ring and the crowd was silent as they realized that serious damage had
been done to Erica Nemeth.
LISA: This is a sad end for a promising young wrestler. Hopefully, Erica is not too seriously injured and
we will see her again.
JENNY: Who cares? Elisa was dominant in her victory and I look forward to great things from her.
LISA: Let’s just take a break and come back with more action.
Instead of going to a commercial break, the camera switched to the backstage area and picked up the
victorious Elisa. The Italian powerhouse beamed with a little psychotic smile as she walked confidently
back towards her dressing room. Just as she reached the door, a shrouded figure stepped into view.
LISA: Coming up next, we have a surprise match-up.
JENNY: When was this announced?
LISA: Just now… I just got this text from Debra, our GM
JENNY: She couldn’t tell me this? What the hell is this match for? Who’s wrestling? Gaaaawd!! Debra
needs to learn a little professionalism at her GM position.
LISA: Well, let’s go backstage and I guess the interviewers are on hand with the competitors.
ERICA DURANCE: I’m here backstage live with a new AFW hopeful, Erica Nemeth. Erica, you’re going
to get a shot here to come to AFW if you are able to beat your opponent tonight.
ERICA NEMETH: Yes love… I’m so excited. I’ve been very successful in the XFW and I can’t wait to test
my competition here in the AFW.
ERICA DURANCE: Well, don’t get too far ahead of yourself. Any thoughts on who your opponent will be
tonight?
ERICA NEMETH: I have no idea who my match will be against tonight. I’ve faced a lot of the wrestlers in
XFW and I’ve pretty much seen them all wrestle. I think I can bring an intense match and I look forward to
coming up to the big leagues tonight Erica.
ERICA DURANCE: Well, it looks like we have calm, confident Erica Nemeth tonight. It certainly looks like
we will be in for a good match. Back up to you.
LISA: I’ve seen some of Erica’s matches in the XFW and she is a girl that can definitely bring it. She has
good size and good athletic ability. She’s not afraid to get in there and mix it up with larger opponents
either.
JENNY: Ha! She will be afraid to mix it up with larger opponents in AFW. Lisa, XFW is the minor
leagues. She might have more wins than losses down there, but the talent pool is substantially weaker.
If she tries mixing it up with larger opponents up here, she will get broken, abused, and injured. If we’re
lucky we’ll get to see that happen to her tonight!
LISA: Well, let’s go down and meet the other competitor, she’s backstage.
AMERIE ROGERS: Ladies and Gentlemen! The following contest is scheduled for one fall. The winner
will receive a contract here in AFW. Introducing first, from Louisville, Kentucky, out of the XFW division,
standing at 5 feet 10 inches tall, weighing in at 135 pounds, she is “The Southern Princess” Erica
Nemeth!
Erica entered to a positive response from the crowd but she had no fan base in the AFW. She wore a
two piece silver bikini that left little to the imagination. She had a large frame, standing at 5’10”, but wasn’
t overtly muscular. She was well defined and came into the ring with a glare of confidence on her face,
waiting for her opponent to reveal herself.
AMERIE ROGERS: Her opponent tonight is brand new to our wrestling affiliations. She is from New
York, New York. She comes in standing 5 feet 4 inches tall, weighing in at 139 pounds; she is “Simply
Phenomenal” Elisa Costa!
Elisa stood at the top of the runway for a minute, assessing the nearly lifeless crowd who weren’t
expecting much from a girl they had never heard of before. She slowly made her way into the ring, still
wearing her black leather trench coat and designer sunglasses.
LISA: Who does this girl think she is? Gail Kim?
JENNY: (Laughing) I’m not sure. I think that might be an attempt to get into her opponent’s psyche. She
doesn’t want to reveal herself too soon.
LISA: I guess. We still don’t have a damn clue about where she came from and what she is capable of.
Elisa, in the ring now, took off her sunglasses, handing them to the referee Amy Acuff. She then took off
the leather trench coat in a fluid motion revealing her chiseled physique and her near 15” biceps.
JENNY: Whoa! No wonder she wanted to keep her physique concealed. She definitely has the power
advantage over Erica Nemeth.
LISA: I think you’re right about that Jenny. Erica though, has a clear experience advantage over Elisa.
And as you know wrestling isn’t always about who is the biggest and strongest; it’s about experience and
heart.
JENNY: We saw what heart got you last episode of Crash & Burn. How is your neck feeling by the way?
LISA: I could handle any of those bitches one-on-one. The odds were stacked against me.
JENNY: Hmm, just like the odds are stacked against Erica in this fight. I know that Erica might have the
experience, but Elisa looks young, hungry, and I think the intimidation gimmick worked.
LISA: Well, Amy Acuff is going to signal the start of the match, so let’s get underway.
MYSTERY FIGURE: Not a bad match out there lover…
ELISA: Thanks honey… She almost made me break a sweat.
MYSTERY FIGURE: It’s a pity that she didn’t. Then we could’ve showered together. I would have made
sure I got every nook and cranny clean.
ELISA: It’s okay. We can do that back at the hotel. Any luck with recruiting tonight?
MYSTERY FIGURE: I didn’t even have to say anything to Angie Salvagno. I have Lorena Cozza locked
down and I’m going to approach Andrea Giocami after her match. I’m sure we can “persuade” her to join
us.
ELISA: Excellent. We’ll get this stable up and running. La Bella Mafia will be feared once again. What
are your plans for the current leader?
MYSTERY FIGURE: We’re going to have a little fun at her expense. Then, she’ll be given the option to
join us, under my command of course. If she does, then we will have another powerful ally. If not, I will
crush her.
The mystery figure wrapped her powerful arms around Elisa as they embraced and started making out
heavily.

ALEXIS BLEDEL: Hey.. I’m backstage with newcomer, Elisa Costa. Elisa, I’m not familiar with you at all.
You’re not even from one of our minor league affiliates.
Elisa, dressed in a black leather trench coat, took her designer sunglasses off and rolled her eyes,
seemingly annoyed.
ELISA: Not familiar with me. Well, don’t worry your pretty little head about not knowing who I am. Soon,
you will know me. Soon, the fans will know me. Soon, Erica Nemeth and the medical crew will be
introduced to me.
ALEXIS: Any thoughts on your match tonight? If you win you get a contract here in AFW.
ELISA: You mean when I win.
With that Elisa pushed Alexis out of the way and exited her locker room.
ALEXIS: Umm.. back to you gals at ringside.
LISA: Well, I don’t know anything about Elisa. But she definitely looks confident.
JENNY: And powerful. Too bad we didn’t get to see her body under that bathrobe.
LISA: Umm, ok?? Amy Acuff, the referee for the match is in the ring so let’s go up to Amerie Rogers for
the introductions.
