Gina emerged beneath the JumboTron to tremendous ovation from the Philadelphia fans. The Sin City
Knockout wore a red, leather corset top underneath a leather jacket, black leather pants and black
leather heels. As the crowd began to chant her name, Gina started down the ramp and then suddenly,
stopped. The brunette turned and waved behind her as if she were calling for someone to join her. A
second later, several women strode onto the stage and followed Conviction as she resumed her trek
toward the ring. The parade of women included Jamie Reed, Beth Horn, Michelle Ould, Whitney
Harchanko, Jennifer Widerstrom and Erin Toughill.

When the show continued, Lisa Moretti was standing in the center of the ring with a microphone. The
nearly 50 year old beauty wore a purple wife-beater, tight blue jeans and purple heels. The still sexy
beauty garnered a bunch of whistles and catcalls from the males in the crowd and the woman formerly
known as Ivory allowed a thin smile to come across her face. Finally, the wrestling legend spoke.

LISA: I want to bring out a newcomer to the AFW, but an accomplished woman in female combat; ladies
and gentlemen, here is Gina Carano!

After Gina and her friends entered the ring, the fans cheers reached a crescendo before they began to
die down and allowed Lisa to begin her interview.
LISA: Gina, I didn’t know you were bringing friends with you.
GINA: (laughs) Well, thanks to these friends, I am able to be here with you.
LISA: That’s true. After your exciting victory over Krisztina Sereny, it looked as though Tatianna Butler
and her stable had bad intentions in mind for you.
GINA: Well, it seems that ever since I arrived here in the AFW, some woman have taken an instant
dislike to me.
LISA: Like Tatianna?
GINA: Actually, I was also talking about Yaxeni Oriquen. She seemed to revel in punishing me as much
as she was punishing Nez Zamorano. But it will take more than a powerful Yeti like you, Yaxeni, to stop
me. The next time we meet, I will be ready for you.
LISA: While Yaxeni is a pretty big problem, I think that Tatianna and her stable are an even bigger
problem.
GINA: Tatianna.....you seem to have a hard-on for me. Well, that's not really a surprise coming from a
man-beast like you. Hell, you make Cris Cyborg look feminine. But looks aside; if you want me, I won't
be hard to find. And if you think I am afraid of you or scared to get in the ring with you, you are dead
wrong. Go ask Krisztina Sereny if I'm an easy mark. Oh wait, you can't find her....wanna know why? I
BEAT HER ASS!
The crowd erupted in cheers as a thin smile came across the former American Gladiator. After a few
seconds, Gina continued.
GINA: So, if you thought you'd just roll over me because you had superior numbers, take a look around
me. You know many of the women beside me as either former American Gladiators or from an MMA
ring. But you can call us by our name; The Gladiators.
With that, Gina handed her microphone to Jamie Reed, and as she did, the crowd broke out a “Fury”
chant. The redhead smiled for a second before she spoke.
JAMIE: Since Beth and I are in the tag-team tournament, I hope…no, I pray that we wind up facing that
trio of thugs that call themselves T3. Afrika, Linda and Trenesha; you are in for a rude awakening if you
believe that we will lay down for you. Tell ‘em Beth.
The powerful looking blonde took the microphone and paused for a second as a “Venom” chant
erupted. The intense look on the blonde’s face was the direct opposite of her partner’s.
BETH: T3! You ran through your first round matchup and got away with your evil, sadistic ways. So we
hope…..no, we pray that you go through your bracket, so we can meet in the finals. Because if you
make it, WE ARE GOING TO GET MEDIEVAL ON YOUR ASSES! YOUR TIME IS UP!
The woman formerly known as Venom handed the microphone back to Gina who took a deep breath
before she continued.
GINA: We are The Gladiators and now, you are in our backyard. No, not just a wrestling ring. It's the
arena where those who live to fight always survive and Tatianna, we are survivors. As for you Tatianna,
you and your crew are nothing more than a bunch of thuggish, skankish bullies. I HATE BULLIES!
LISA: That’s rather strong talk Gina.
GINA: I know, I know; I'm not supposed to talk like that. After all, I am still considered a rookie. Hell,
many of the girls in the back laugh at me; they say "that's the one who Cris Cyborg made her bitch".
Laugh it up; it’s OK. When I get in the ring with you, you'll see how funny I am. You wanna call me a
pretender or a pretty face they built up? OK, but remember this pretty face can put you down in seconds
and if there were no rules, I could do far, far worse than that. It’s a thin line between laughter and fear
and after you get in the ring with me, YOU WILL FEAR ME!
Just then, Mary J. Blige’s “The One” blared across the arena speakers as Tatianna Butler alone
emerged from the back with a scowl on her face and a microphone in her hand. The ebony juggernaut
wore a black wife-beater, blue jeans and boots. As the powerful heel walked to one end of the stage, the
crowd began to jeer the Ebony Brickhouse mercilessly. The New Jersey native simply shook her head in
disbelief before she began to speak.

wore a black wife-beater, blue jeans and boots. As the powerful heel walked to one end of the stage, the
crowd began to jeer the Ebony Brickhouse mercilessly. The New Jersey native simply shook her head in
disbelief before she began to speak.
TATIANNA: Fear you? Why the hell should I fear you? You are nothing; just like most of the women
here in the AFW. You’re just a pretty face with a big mouth; a big mouth that I will shut permanently…….
just like what I did to that whore Mia St. John.
LISA: Tatianna, you weren’t invited out here. This is supposed to be Gina’s-
TATIANNA: SHUT UP YOU LITTLE WHORE! IF YOU STICK YOUR NOSE IN MY BUSINESS, I WILL
SMASH YOUR FACE IN LIKE I DID TO MIA ST. JOHN!!!
GINA: Tatianna, you are exactly what I said you were a minute ago; an obnoxious, ugly, loud-mouthed
bully. You made a mockery of the sport of Mixed Martial Arts when you ‘beat’ Mia. One day, you will
grow a set and face me in the octagon and I will make sure you learn to respect MMA AND ME!
TATIANNA: One day? If it weren’t for your punk-ass friends, I would come down there and beat the crap
out of you right now.
GINA: Is that all that’s stopping you? Fine; let me rectify that.
The Sin City Knockout then turned to her stablemates and after a couple of words of encouragement
and a few hugs, the Gladiators began to file out of the ring and up the ramp. Several of them glared at
the ebony juggernaut at the other end of the stage before they disappeared beneath the JumboTron to
the back.
GINA: All right Tatianna; you’re all out of excuses. Let’s dance.
TATIANNA: You ready to die that badly? OK.
With that, the Ebony Brickhouse dropped her microphone and headed down the ramp while Gina
shucked off her jacket, kicked off her shoes and struck a fighter’s pose. Tatianna slid into the ring and
as she did, Lisa exited the ring and Gina moved in. Conviction quickly landed a combination that
staggered Tatianna just as she made it to a vertical base. The former MMA star continued her barrage
as she backed the ebony Amazon against the ropes and began to tee off on her rival.
Suddenly, Tatianna landed a thunderous kneelift to Gina’s crotch; the wicked cheap shot stopped the
brunette in her tracks and forced her to drop her hands. That was all the ebony powerhouse needed as
she quickly laced into the Sin City Knockout with a flurry of rights and lefts that spun Gina around and
send her backpedalling into the near corner. With a look of fury in her eyes, Tatianna moved in and
began to batter Gina mercilessly as the Gladiator formerly known as Crush tried to cover up and block
the blows. Still, many of them found their mark and after a nasty looking uppercut found its mark, the
former American Gladiator dropped to one knee.
Tatianna landed one more shot to the top of her foe’s head before she turned around and raised her
arms in mock victory. The Ebony Brickhouse walked to the center of the ring with a look on her face that
said “I told you so”. But when the New Jersey native turned around, Gina rocketed from the corner and
slammed into her hated rival with a bone-jarring spear that took Tatianna to the mat. Gina quickly
mounted the ebony Amazon and began to pound away at the shocked powerhouse while she now tried
to cover up and block the blows. It was then that several members of the security force rushed down the
ramp and slid into the ring to try to break up the melee. Bringing up the rear was Mimi Lesseos and
Cynthia Rothrock.

ramp and slid into the ring to try to break up the melee. Bringing up the rear was Mimi Lesseos and
Cynthia Rothrock.
After nearly a minute, the security forces managed to separate the combatants and push them into
opposite corners. Both Gina and Tatianna hurled insults at each other as they tried to break free from
the security forces that held them apart. Just when it seemed that the confrontation had been quieted;
Gina broke free and charged across the ring. The Sin City Knockout leapt over the backs of the security
that held Tatianna in place and began to fire off more shots to her nemesis. It took another half minute
before the duo could be separated, but the peace barely lasted ten seconds when it was Tatianna who
escaped the clutches of security to charge Gina.
Finally, more security sprinted to the ring to try to put an end to the hostilities. After a minute, security
finally led Tatianna out of the ring and up the ramp. The ebony Amazon still had a crazed look on her
face as she pointed toward Gina in the ring and made a breaking motion before she disappeared
backstage, leaving a livid Conviction in the ring.
LISA: Wow! Thankfully, it seems as though security finally has the situation under control.
JENNY: It sure took them long enough. You were smart to head for the hills Lisa; you sure didn’t want
to be stuck between Gina and Tatianna.
LISA: You got that right. I think this is the start of a long and deadly war between the Ebony Brickhouse
and the Sin City Knockout and neither woman will probably be the same at its conclusion.
JENNY: We’ll be back folks.
