Well… here I am. Surrounded by a bunch of new people. I’m not afraid of this, but in fact, just the opposite. I’m very excited to be starting here and to get to meet new people along the way. This is what I need. I will make new friends here and I will be looking to the future. I will not look back and live in the past. You see, my past isn’t as nice as you might think. To look at me, I’m sure I look like someone who has had a normal past with a normal life. Even though for the most part that is true… I do have a backstory to my life that was very painful for me to live through. In time, as you get to know me better, you will learn about what happened to me and my mother Lycra when I was just two years old and the reason why my whole upbringing as a child to a teenager… was all just a lie. Some people who have joined WXW along with me already know my history. For those of you who don’t know, bear with me and give me time to open up to you all. It’s… not something I like to talk about at any given time.
I will be telling my story to you another time when the time is right. Don’t want to overwhelm you. So for now… I’m going to focus on my debut match and then I will take things from there.

A New Company… A New Beginning… On Camera
I had just checked into my hotel room in Madison, Wisconsin. My debut match was this week and I was very nervous about it. This was a new company with new people. But… at least I still had my close friends around me since a lot of them had come to WXW. It would make this new chapter in my life and my career easier on me. Having my friends at my side was going to really help me. At least I thought so.
After I got inside my hotel room, the first thing I did was slip my shoes off. My feet were killing me and I was feeling pretty beat from the trip to get here. I took my jacket off and threw it onto the bed. I picked up my travel bag and placed it on the bed as well and I opened it up and took out the framed picture of my mother Lycra. I placed it on the nightstand next to the bed. It would help me to feel close to her and that was what I wanted. I sat down on the bed and looked at her picture. She was smiling in it and she looked strong and healthy. At the time it was taken, her life was happy and things were going well for her. Of course, that was a long time ago that mom had true happiness. There was a time when she was deeply in love with a man who she would die for. But… her relationship didn’t work out the way she was hoping it would, and after that, her life just seemed to fall apart from there. Many bad things followed. Her nervous breakdown. Her addiction to pain medication. Just one bad thing after another for her. But… my mother was a very strong woman, and I just had to believe that she was going to get through it all and come back to me so that she could be with all of her friends again. She needed to get back to doing what she loved and had a passion for the most…
Wrestling.
I just wanted to see my mother Lycra healthy and happy once again. That was what I wanted the most.
I continued to look at her photo.
“I miss you already mom.”
She was still in the hospital in Illinois, but would be getting out of there soon. As I looked at her photo, I found myself needing to hear her voice. I couldn’t help it. Her voice was like a drug for me. I pulled out my cellphone from the side compartment of my travel bag and I speed dialed the hospital’s number and typed in the extension number to her private room. After a few rings, she answered and our call had started. Hearing her voice gave me instant relief and brought a smile to my face…
“How are you feeling today mom?”
Lycra: “I’m having a good day. Physical therapy is going well. This shoulder of mine is co-operating so far.”
“I miss you so much. Alexis misses you. I’m sure TJ misses you. We haven’t seen you since your surgery. I didn’t even want to sign with this new company until you were completely recovered and back in the ring.”
Lycra: “But I was the one who told you that you need to keep your own life going no matter what I’m going through. If you stay out too long kid, you’ll get rusty and you’ve worked too damn hard to let that happen just because of my problems. You’ve sacrificed too much for me already Jetta. You vacated your title in that other place so that you could be with me to help me through my addiction. Even though I’m still not happy about that, you’re a grown woman and you have to make your own decisions.”
“I’m doing very well for myself too, for someone who’s only twenty years old.”
Lycra: “Yes… Yes, you’re doing very well. I’m so proud of you kid. Don’t ever forget that.”
“I won’t… And I’m proud of you too mom… for fighting through your painkiller addiction… and for working hard in therapy to get your shoulder all healed up.”
Lycra: “Nothing is going to prevent me from getting back in that ring. I want to wrestle again… as soon as possible.”
“Give it time mom okay? Don’t rush it.”
Lycra: “I will take care of me. You just take care of you right now. I know about your debut match this week. Who are you facing?”
“Kelly Robinson. I’ve been finding out stuff about her.”
Lycra: “She any good from what you’ve seen?”
“She might pose a challenge to me. I haven’t been wrestling for almost three months now, so I might be a bit off my game, but we’ll see. She hasn’t done well in her matches recently, so she’s either gonna come out to that ring pissed off at her past losses and will be looking to get herself a win… or she’ll come out there with no motivation and will go down in defeat against me. Other than that, there’s not much else to know about her that’s worth knowing.”
Lycra: “Well… just remember what I always tell you Jetta…. Never let up on your opponent. Don’t give Robinson a chance to think about her next move. Keep the pressure on her and you’ll take the victory. It’s your debut match. I expect you to do your best… like you always do.”
I could hear her take a deep breath on the other end of the line.
Lycra: “I just wish that I could be there for your debut match. I’m your mother…and… I should be there. I feel like I’m failing you by not being there.”
“Don’t even say that mom. You need to focus on your therapy and getting yourself strong enough to get the hell out of there. I’ll be fine. I’m a big girl remember? I can take care of myself. And besides, our friends will be here to support me. It’s not like I’m all alone here.”
Lycra: “Yeah… I suppose.”
I could hear something in my mother’s voice. It was like she didn’t have much energy and it took effort for her to talk.
“Mom, are you alright?”
Lycra: “Yeah…”
“You just sound like it’s taking everything in you to talk.”
Lycra: “Well… with all of my progress so far… it’s just wearing me out… but in a good way. Nothing to worry about kid. I’m just tired from the physical therapy.”
“Promise that’s all it is? Nothing’s bothering you?”
“We’re done now. I want you to go and rest right now. I can call you again later. And I’ll get Alexis to call you later too.”
Lycra: “It’s supposed to be me telling you what to do… not the other way around.”
“I’m your daughter and I’ve inherited your stubborn ways. I’m telling you to go lay down and you’re gonna do as your told. Okay?”
Lycra: “Yes… Alright. But only because my stubborn kid is insisting.”
I smiled at what she said. She sounded weary, but at least she was in a good mood and was being positive.
“I love you mom.”
Lycra: “I love you too kid.”
“I’ll talk to you later.”
Lycra: “Alright.”
We ended our call and I put my cellphone down on the nightstand. I got up from the bed and headed into the washroom to get a shower and I planned to relax for the rest of the day.

The scene opens at a cheese factory in Madison Wisconsin where Kelly Robinson is there learning about the different cheeses before she has to get in the ring with her opponent for tonight’s edition of Monday Night WAR who is a newbie by the name of Jetta La Mon.
Kelly: Jetta, you might have wrestled for other companies before coming here to World Xtreme Wrestling but you need to understand that here at WXW is different than other companies that you worked for before because in WXW, the divas are actually striving to become the best women’s division in the world of wrestling so we usually go out there and give more than one-hundred percent of ourselves in that ring because after all without the fans backing us up then our careers will go nowhere fast and that’s something that you especially can’t afford seeing as this is your debut match here in WXW.
Kelly tastes a few different types of cheeses but she didn’t like any of them because she isn’t a real cheese person but decided to try this place because Robert is crazy about cheese so she thought she could at least get him some nice cheese before returning home to San Diego, California.
Kelly: Don’t my kindness towards you for a weakness because if you do then I’ll show you exactly how strong I am in that ring when I beat your ass 1…2…3! You might be the daughter of a legend in this business by the name of Lycra but it’s time to see if any of the knowledge and information that your mother learned brushed off onto you and tonight we’ll figure out who is the better diva tonight.
Kelly is now shown buying a big gift basket of different assortment of cheeses and then she signs it for her boyfriend Robert Saints.
Kelly heads towards her car as the scene fades to black before heading to commercials for sponsors of World Xtreme Wrestling and its weekly show of Monday Night WAR.
