Humans are one of the few creatures on Earth given the choice.
The scene fades in and we’re in one of the convention rooms at the Champions Advantage Performance Center in Vero Beach, Florida, all the wrestlers were going through a press conference; the wrestlers of Last Man Standing were getting together with Make-A-Wish for an event for Orlando's Children's Hospital; each of them took an up and coming wrestler under their wing to train with them and then put on a show in front of some of the kids and their families. Candice “VooDoo” Page stood behind the curtain as she waited to go on next. VooDoo was wearing one of the event t-shirts, a pair of black jeans with a pair of tennis shoes. After the presser, her and the kids were going for a late lunch. She looked down at her children sitting in the audience and said a silent prayer that she wasn’t in the same position some of the parents she’s met have been in. Callan, her 9 year old son, looked up and he smiled big and waved enthusiastically at his momma and caused her to smile and wave back. She glanced over at her opponent hidden in the same spot on the other side of the stage and saw what appeared to be a sneer on Sassy Lu Von Precious’ face. Almost immediately, VooDoo lost her smile.
Did this… girl… just sneer at my child?
Lord, help me, Jesus.
Don’t make me snatch that fake ass blonde weave off her head.
Lord, help me, Jesus.
Don’t make me snatch that fake ass blonde weave off her head.
Sassy Lu caught VooDoo looking at her and smiled. VooDoo did not smile back. She had about enough of the girl this past week to last her a lifetime and couldn’t wait for it to be over. This girl was cocky and full of herself and she wasn’t good enough to be cocky and full of herself. Hell, this event was the first time she’s ever stepped into the ring with a professional wrestler.
Little girl thinks she knows it all.
Wait until tomorrow.
She’s gonna find out she didn’t pay attention in class.
Wait until tomorrow.
She’s gonna find out she didn’t pay attention in class.
All week long VooDoo tried to give her pointers, to help her with her technique and every suggestion that Voo offered, she scoffed at. It got so bad VooDoo, who would normally be excited about doing an event like this, was going to be more excited when it was over.
Once the wrestlers left the stage, Sassy Lu was introduced and she made her entrance to a round of cheers, then walked to the table trying to encourage the crowd to cheer louder. She took her seat, leaned back in the chair and kicked one foot up on the table in an attempt to look cool.
And her opponent… The announcer, Jack B Friendly, began causing the crowd to start cheering. A woman who needs no introduction, a woman who helped pave the way for the next generation of female wrestlers. The crowd got louder. She is none other than the Femme Fatale, VoooDooooo!!!!
Slapping the biggest smile on her face, VooDoo stepped from behind the curtain to an insane pop from the crowd. One she couldn’t help but notice made Sassy Lu like she had sucked on a lemon.
Let me really suck the wind from her sails.
Instead of taking a seat at the table, VooDoo slid from the stage and made her way across the front row, giving hugs, shaking hands and taking pictures; showing her opponent how to work a crowd. Once she made it to the other end, she hopped back on the stage and walked over to the table, passing in front of Sassy Lu. She winked as she passed her and finally took her seat.
Thank you all. She said into the mic. You really make a lady feel welcome.
Welcome Ladies. Friendly, the man leading the presser said. You two must be excited about the match tomorrow.
You have no idea. VooDoo said dryly. She watched as her twins hid their smiles behind their hands.
I am, I can’t wait. This is gonna be my chance to shine. Sassy said. It’s gonna be my chance to show to the world that if I am good enough to beat VooDoo, I am good enough to beat anybody.
VooDoo blinked a few times to let her words sink in.
Keywords, pumpkin, are “beat VooDoo”. VooDoo said, a smile on her face that seemed to die at her eyes and the look she gave made you wonder if she’s imagining Sassy on fire. You’ve to be somebody to beat VooDoo and you're nobody.
Ladies, ladies, save it for the ring. Friendly cut in and tried to take control of the situation. The match is tomorrow night, not tonight. So, let’s get down to business. Sassy Lu, how was it training under a wrestler known all over the world…
As being a strip club owner? Sassy sneered.
I prefer the term “titty bar” myself. VooDoo said, then she realized what she had said and slapped her hand to her mouth. I am so sorry.
Can’t take you nowhere. Rose said from where they were seated. The crowd laughed as VooDoo pointed at her kids and shushed them.
My little roasters, ladies and gentlemen. She paused for a moment. What my “colleague” fails to realize, I was a wrestler before I became a club owner and those moves she showed me in the ring this week were nothing but… Basic at its best. Which is why she’s going to lose tomorrow.
We can go now if you want. Sassy stood up, hands balled into fists at her waist.
Have a seat, Pumpkin. VooDoo told her and calmly sat there and stared at her. We wouldn’t want you to be hurt going into the match and give you an excuse for why you lost, instead of me just beating your a.. She paused and smiled. Butt.
You know what, I’m outta here. I knew this was gonna be the VooDoo show when they told me about this. I’ll see you tomorrow.
Hopefully you work on your heel gimmick a little more and it gets better overnight.
Tomorrow looks to be exciting. Friendly said nervously.
It’s another case of a young pup wanting to make a name for herself about to learn there are predators and prey... and I am no one's prey.
The match is sure to be a dog eat dog one, that’s for sure. Friendly jokes as he’s queued for time. VooDoo, thank you for being here today. We know you’re a busy woman.
My pleasure, thanks for having me.
Let’s give a round of applause for VooDoo.
VooDoo stood up, waved to the crowd and with both hands sent out kisses. With a jerk of her head, the kids got up and made their way to the exit to meet her in the lobby as the scene faded to black… but only for a moment.
It fades back in and we’re in the main lobby as VooDoo and her children make their way to the exit where the car was waiting to pick them up and take them back to the Kimpton Hotel and Spa, she promised to take the kids to Cobalt’s before going shopping. They were halfway there when VooDoo’s name was called out and done so in a manner that stopped her dead in her tracks, her eyes shifted sideways, her twins instinctively pushed their younger brother behind them protectively. She whirled around to find Von Precious making her way towards them; people stopped to watch, some already had their cell out and recording. She glanced again at her children before she took several steps in front of them; she put her right hand up and shook her head no, hoping Von Precious would get the hint.
You know…
Before another word could come out of her mouth, VooDoo hit her with Black Magic.. And she was falling to the floor, out cold. A mixture of shocked gasps and “damns” with laugher went through the crowd. The kids ran over to their mother.
Someone’s sassy mouth got’em in trouble
Just wait, tomorrow Mom’s gonna go Vooclear on you.
The twins gave each other daps.
Children.. VooDoo said, trying not to smile. Come along, before she wakes up and I catch some charges.
Hopefully she wakes up before tomorrow.
VooDoo looked down at Von Precious one last time then at the security guard who stood not knowing what to do. He tried to stop her.
When she wakes up, tell her I’ll see her in the ring.
Without another word.. VooDoo and the kids made their way to the lobby doors once again as the scene faded to black.
