As the cameras return to ringside, 'Teen Spirit' blares throughout the arena, and Lady Munin steps out onto the stage. She's wearing a slinky deep purple cocktail dress with a slit up the side to her thigh, along with some heels that wrap around her calves. She already has a mic in hand when she starts down the ramp towards the ring, and the fans cheer loudly for her entrance. When she reaches ringside, she slides under the bottom rope and pops up in one fluid motion, no easy task considering her ensemble. She steps to the center of the ring with poise and confidence, and spins around once to take in the capacity crowd with a smile.
LADY MUNIN: Things have certainly changed, haven't they Tunica, Mississippi?
The fans roar at her acknowledgement, and she pauses long enough to let them quiet back down.
LADY MUNIN: Pure Amusement Wrestling started out as an independent promotion that on two separate occasions almost went under, and even though that was only 7 months ago, it feels like a lifetime. Because in that time we've continued to grow, expand, and push out to farther territories. We've saw companies come and go, picked up their superstars and their fans, which provided us fuel to propel us forwards. And now, here we are, on national television on the Circle Television Network, on the very first episode of WICKED Live.
The Tunica crowd explodes in cheers, and Lady Munin nods.
LADY MUNIN: As good and positive as all of that is, we can not rest on our laurels. We have a PPV coming up in October, Seven Deadly Sins, and much deliberation has gone into exactly what direction we may go. Ultimately, the decision resides in my court, and I have decided to do something unprecedented. Something fresh. Something new. Something that will almost guarantee that there are going be some form of changing of the guard around here.
The fans fall into a murmur, contemplating what the Lady might be getting at.
LADY MUNIN: So it is my decision that we will have a series of matches over the next several episodes of WICKED and ADDICTION that will determine six challengers for the PAW Heavyweight Championship, who will compete in a Seven Deadly Sins Ladder Match at the PPV!
The fans come to their feet at the news in excitement, and a PAW chant starts up throughout the arena. Munin smiles, moving around the ring, soaking it in. Finally, the crowd settles down.
LADY MUNIN: Doing the math, that allows for six matches with twelve participants, and there are a few of those names I can give you right now if you want.
The fans answer is obvious, and Munin smiles, holding her hand up to calm them down.
LADY MUNIN: Well, right off the top of my head, how about Nova Wonder, Calvin Harris, Jack Nomad, Annabel Lee, Kelsey Spencer, and Aokigahara Zombie to name a few...
The crowd is almost rabid at this point, imagining their favorite superstars involved in one match that would determine the companies future.
LADY MUNIN: All I can say is stay tuned, cause if you think that's good, there's more to come.
With that, she tosses the mic to the ring tech, and exits the ring for the back. The fans continue to cheer and speculate with one another, as the scene fades to backstage.
A FEW SECONDS LATER
Press stands by the gorilla position, his eyes still glued to the monitor, when Lady Munin makes her way through the curtain from the stage. Seeing the big man, she steps up beside him, and casts a side long glance in his direction. He doesn't say anything, doesn't even acknowledge her, but only continues his stare into the monitor. She sighs heavily, crossing her arms over her bosom, and finally breaks the silence.
MUNIN: So....do you have a problem with that?
Press barks out a laugh that startles several of the nearby technicians, but the Lady of the Arena continues regarding him with a cool stare. After his initial mirth, Press looks over to Munin with a sadistic grin, and winks in her direction.
PRESS: Lady, it's your body count.
With that, Press turns and stalks off down the adjoining hallway, leaving Munin to contemplate his statement. The camera moves in for a close up, and the last thing anyone see's before the scene fades back to ringside is the beginnings of a smile.
