The scene fades in and we’re in one of the Last Man Standing studios where Maria Gonzalas is sitting behind a news desk. She was dressed in a black suit and white shirt with her black hair pulled up in a bun on top of her head. On the screen beside her is a picture of VooDoo and the LSMI logo. The director was counting her down to one and then called Action!
Welcome to LMS Interviews, I am your host, Maria Gonzalas. Some of my colleagues and I had been tasked with interviewing the wrestlers in World Series of Wrestling 2023’s Last Man Standing event. And what we’ve managed to piece together with these interviews is nothing less than amazing. She paused for a moment. The participant that I was tasked with interviewing is none other than wrestling legend, VooDoo, aka Candice Page. She and I sat down for a nice quiet talk over coffee here at the Last Man Standing compound. And it all started, just after she touched down.
Marie looked over to the screen beside her as it flickers away from the picture to the interview taken just a few hours earlier and consisted of security feed from the compound that showed VooDoo on auto-pilot as she made her way to the Dirty Water Coffee Shop where she was meeting with Maria Gonzalas, one of the interviewers with Last Man Standing. Maria had tried to get an interview with VooDoo last week, but VooDoo was in Greece with the launch of the Island in Greece and that turned into a weekend long extravaganza since it was not only VooDoo’s birthday, but Atara’s too. When VooDoo entered the coffee shop, she was dressed in a pair of sweats and a t-shirt; straight up barefoot with her toenails painted red to match her fingernails. Her hair was pulled back in a messy ponytail and she had dark sunglasses over her eyes.
VooDoo, so glad to--
Maria said in a bright and bubbly voice as she stood up to greet her but was cut short by VooDoo with a raise of her hand. Both Maria and the cameraman looked at each other. VooDoo walked over to the counter where the barista was already pouring a cup of coffee and as per instructions that came from the flight attendant on the plane, black. No sugar, no creamer… VooDoo was dealing with the hangover of the Gods. She’s not really sure if she had slept any in the past 4 days, but she had an interview to do and she couldn’t stay in Greece forever.
Here ya go. The barista said in a hushed tone with a smile.
VooDoo gave a nod as she took the cup and then made her way back to where the interviewer still stood. VooDoo said nothing as she took a seat at the table opposite of her. Maria and the cameraman looked at each other again before Maria took her seat again.
VooD.. VooDoo motioned for her to talk lower with one hand as she raised the cup of coffee to her lips. Maria lowered her tone some. So glad to… VooDoo gave her a thumbs up that was an acceptable tone at this time. …finally catch up with you for the interview. For a moment I thought I was going to have to fly to Greece.
I do apologize, I didn’t expect to be in Greece all weekend.
No worries about that. I’ll make this as short and as sweet as possible.
Good, cause I fully intend to leave this building, hit my villa and then the bed. She took another drink, she leaned her head down a little bit to her armpit. And maybe a shower. I may or may not have 4 days worth of partying on me right now, so I’ll apologize for smelling foul, if I do.
You’re fine, you’re fine. Maria assured her with a light laugh, she motioned for the cameraman to start recording. Like I said, I’ll make this as short and as painless as possible.
Then you are officially my best friend.
Maria Gonzales here at Dirty Water Coffee shop, and with me is VooDoo. VooDoo let me be the 1st one here at the Compound to say Happy belated Birthday and Congrats on the opening of your newest Velvet Rabbit location in Greece. The world has been watching as you’ve taken a small club in New York City and taken your Velvet Rabbit brand global in just a few short years. How did you do it?
I have a great support system. VooDoo said with a smile. I have a great family and great friends who support me. A husband that backs and supports me in everything I do and three kids that keep me grounded and focused on the reason why I do what I do.
Your kids seem to keep you on your toes.
You have no idea. My little demon spawns. She laughed lightly. I am sure they are plotting their next endeavor against me.
Fir sure. Maria paused. I’m sure you’re also getting their anger against their father as well, since you’re the only parent they can lash out against.
I am sure they will make their father pay sometime in the future. VooDoo chuckled for a moment and then grew serious. I haven’t told them their father and I talked about a month ago.
Oh what happened?
Schedules got busy for both of us. Still waiting on him… VooDoo took a drink of coffee. So moving along…
Yes, moving along… Maria began as she caught the hint. So what do you think of the LSM event so far?
I’ve really been enjoying my time here. I’ve enjoyed meeting the other contestants and becoming friends with them. Overall, I am coming in at number six right now as compared to finishing number twelve last year so I am good with it. Love to pull off number one at the end, but top five would be sweet, too. It also gave me a great opportunity to drop the opening of Velvet Rabbit Greece right in the middle of it, getting the Rabbit out there to people that might not have heard about the Velvet Rabbit.
Who out there hasn’t heard about the Rabbit? Marie asked.
Right?! VooDoo agreed. Still publicity is publicity.
You’re right about that. Maria said then paused for a moment before her next question. Have you decided what’s next for VooDoo after the LMS event is over?
After a much needed vacation with my husband and a much needed vacation with the kids, I’m going to resume my duties as GM of Brawl for WGWF as well as laying the groundwork for my own event in 2024. World Series of Wrestling and other shows like it have inspired me to do one of my own.
Oh? Maria said, hoping to get a good scoop. Do tell?
Three night wrestling show that ends in New Orleans for VooDoo Fest and the opening of Velvet Rabbit, NOLA. I still haven’t decided if it’s going to be a belt or a trophy, but I’ve been toying around with ideas for both designs. Like I said, I’ve just been toying around with them.
You said.. “That ends in New Orleans”?
Yes, I’m going to put that Mississippi Riverboat that my husband’s okayed me to buy. She smiled. It’s going to be a 3 night “cruise” down the Mississippi river. Each night will take place in a major city, but like I said, I am just in the beginning phases of putting it together, nothing is solid in stone just yet.
This is exciting news to hear. Maria said. If anything, your name is going to bring people far and wide wanting to participate in it.
Yes, but there will be a limited amount of slots for it, so it’s going to be a first come first serve basis.
If it’s one thing we can understand, it is having a limited amount… as we have a limited amount of time for this interview. VooDoo, on behalf of myself and LMS Interviews, I would like to thank you for your time and let you go get some sleep.
Thank you, Maria. VooDoo smiled. It was a pleasure to be here.
The view cuts from the screen back to the full studio with Maria again.
There you have it ladies and gentlemen. The low down on what’s been going on with Candice “VooDoo” Page. We here at Last Man Standing interviews with you all a good night.
With one last smile, the scene slowly faded to back.
