RACHEL:  Hello everyone, this is Rachel McLish and I'm here in the home of one of my personal friends,
the FWF Icon herself, Monica Brant.  Thank you for allowing us into your lovely home, Monica.

MONICA:  Come on Rachel, you’re not only one of my very close friends but also the person who
brought me into wrestling.  And of course, the fans have helped me become who I am today.  You and my
fans are always welcome in my home.

RACHEL:  So, long time no see Monica, How you doing?

MONICA:  I'm doing O.K. Rachel.  When my second home, the FWF, was so rudely invaded and closed
down, I was depressed for awhile.  Then, I channeled that and did a lot hard training; even going all
around the world to wrestle the very best in wrestling.  I fought Bull Nakano, Awesome Kong, Pippi L'Vin,
and legendary greats like Leilani Kai. I won a lot and lost a few but all in all, I kept myself busy for two
reasons; one, to keep my depression at bay and two, to continue being one of the best wrestlers that I
can be.

RACHEL:  That is great to hear, but I would like to ask you something that is on everybody’s mind.  You
are not on the A.F.W. roster, which is very odd to me.  I’ve heard that the higher powers of the A.F.W.
offered you a very high paying contract and a first round spot on either the Middleweight or the World's
Title tournament.  To everyone’s surprise, you declined the offer.  While I am eager to hear why, the fans
are livid; they want to know why you would do that?

MONICA:  Well Rachel, I thought instead of getting "The Spot" just by name alone like so many other
high profiled girls have done in the A.F.W. or just by the many achievements in the past like others did,  I
would rather do it the old fashion way; earn it.  A lot of the girls on the AFW roster have either forgotten
what that means.  Either that or they think they’re too high and mighty to even have to try.  Girls, you
have to “rightfully earn” that so-called Main Event spot.

MONICA:  To be perfectly honest with you, this is something I should have done when I first started the
FWF instead of being placed in the limelight right off the bat like I was.  Rachel, I thank you so much for
helping me like you did.  Having a ‘promising rookie’ tag with you during your World championship reign
against the two top contenders for your title in Cory Everson and Sandy Riddell was something I’ll never
forget, but to be honest, I never really ‘earned’ that spot alongside you at all.  That was one of those
matches where the champ and number one contender pick their partners and you picked me of all
people; a rookie.  You picked me over the likes of Lisa Moretti or Marla Duncan and I will treasure that
forever.   But the past is the past and now I want to do what I know is the best thing for me and that is to
rightfully earn what was just going to be just given to me.  So with that, I have to admit the A.F.W. really
pushed to have me, but in the end, I made a deal with them which would make both of us happy.

RACHEL:  Wow!  That’s really impressive Monica.  You continue to make me proud.  If you don’t mind,
can you share with all of us what is this deal you made?

MONICA:  Well, it’s very simple; it's a chance for me to earn my spot into the A.F.W. roster while for the
management of the A.F.W., it's a chance for them to establish their Minor Leagues to the media.  It's like
this Rachel; our agreement is for me to have two or three matches in each of their minor leagues – kinda
starting from the bottom up.  I will start in the B.F.W., then head to the I.M.P.W.  Up next will be the L.W.F,
followed by the W.W.I.L. and finally, the X.F.W.  If I can win two matches from each fed, then I will have
earned the right to climb up to the next fed until I make it to the A.F.W.  That way, I will know I earned my
way back to the top.

MONICA:  Rachel, it's all about respect and apparently, many of the younger girls of the A.F.W., or to be
honest, anywhere else, don't have respect at all.  They would just love to use me as a trampoline to the
top and say that they easily beat "The Icon" to a pulp.  For example, let’s take the so-called Ms.
Perfection, Cindy Phillips.  She will now claim that she destroyed my arch rival Cori Nadine.  Even though
I detest Cori, I do have a lot of respect for her because ‘she paid her dues’.  However, as much as I hate
to say it, Cindy can boast because she did just that, she took Cori apart.

MONICA:  See Rachel, I'm not going to let any new and undeserving bitch who doesn't have respect for
anyone or anything use me as their stepping stone to greatness.  For me, instead of being placed at the
top and slowly falling to the bottom, I'm going to start from the very bottom and work my way back to the
top.  So look out girls, the Icon is coming!

RACHEL:  Well, there you have it people.  Monica is on a mission as I’m sure she will accomplish her
goal.  Back to you Jenny.

JENNY:  Some strong words from Monica.  That’s a very dangerous path she’s chosen.  Basically, she’s
just put a bull’s-eye on her back.
STACY:  And I can’t wait to see who is going to put that loser out of her misery.  Time for another break
Jen?
JENNY:  Sure thing Stacy.  We’ll be back folks.
JENNY:  Well, now we have an interview taped earlier in the week with a legend in the business, Monica
Brant done by a very special guest, the legendary Rachel McLish.
STACY:  Two has-beens.  Ho-hum
JENNY:  Let’s go to the interview.
