It’s back to
the drawing board for Angelica and Kayla Jones, the pair of siblings known as
The Sisterhood. They failed to defeat
The Honour Code at Breakdown in the tag tournament. Now The Sisterhood’s best hope at becoming
number one contenders have gone out the window.
What that means is that Angelica and Kayla will truly have to work their
way back up to tag team title contention.
It’s a good thing that they said they were willing to do that, because
that’s the only way they’ll get there now.
For that matter, Angelica and Kayla are not even sure where they go from
here.
Angelica
Jones does have a shot at the SCW Adrenaline Championship coming up in the near
future, but as much as she may want to be champion, and as much as Kayla would
be happy for her sister to be champion, the two of them want to be
participating in the tag team division first and foremost. That’s their top priority.
Yet Angelica
does have a potential match coming up.
What does Kayla have in store for her in the future? What does The Sisterhood as a unit have in
store for them in the future?
That’s what
brings the sibling pair to Kayla’s Boston, Massachusetts headquarters. They are here today to meet with their
representative, the man who is to be their voice in negotiations with Supreme
Championship Wrestling and its management in particular…
…that
representative is none other than Oliver Hardy.
Oliver Hardy
Jr. and Kayla Jones were foster siblings during Kayla’s teenage years. They have a shared memory of brutal abuse,
both physical and sexual in nature, at the hands of Oliver’s father Oliver
Hardy Sr. Kayla utilized modeling to
escape that situation, at the age of eighteen as a model she was able to pay
her own bills and move out from under Oliver Hardy Sr.’s thumb. Later on, modeling led to Kayla being
discovered as a wrestler and the rest was history.
Still, she
never could find it in her heart to trust her foster sibling. The feeling was mutual, but that was more due
to an insanity that he developed as a result of the abuse. He did seek help and he is seemingly cured of
the mental illness. He and Kayla are
seemingly reconciled and all is apparently well. Kayla is even willing to give him a chance at
redemption as he is serving her and her sister as their representative in SCW.
Not everyone
is willing to trust Oliver Hardy Jr.
Namely, Angelica Jones, Kayla’s older sister, is not yet willing to
fully trust him. And she has no problem
making her feelings known as the ladies make their way down the long hallway
towards Oliver’s office.
“I still don’t like the idea of this creep
being our representative.”
Kayla sighs
and rolls her eyes.
“Yeah, you’ve said that before a few times,
Angelica.”
“I know, and you don’t seem to be paying any
attention to my warnings.”
“I quit paying attention after the third or
fourth time you mentioned it, sis.”
Angelica
growls with frustration.
“This isn’t a joke, Kayla. I am deadly serious.”
Angelica
points with her right index finger straight ahead, at the office door which is
now in sight.
“He cannot be trusted.”
“The same can be said of you.”
“What do you mean by that?”
The pair of
siblings stop just a few feet away from the door. Kayla motions to the door that reads “Oliver
Hardy Jr., Attorney”. She has a stern
look across her face and appears as if she is prepared to eat Angelica alive.
“He made mistakes, granted, but so have you. You have been known to set opponents on fire in
the past.”
Angelica
scoffs.
“They deserved it.”
“Oh really?
Did I deserve it too?”
Angelica is
somewhat taken aback by Kayla’s surprising question.
“I never set you on fire, sis. I would never do that.”
“No, but in 2003 when you made your
pro-wrestling debut you targeted me. Was
it a case of jealousy? Was it a case of
sibling rivalry taken too far? I don’t
know, maybe I’ll never know, but YOU targeted me, Angelica, and I was hurt, not
just physically but emotionally at the fact that my own flesh and blood wanted
to hurt me.”
“I…I just…”
Angelica
bows her head in shame.
“…I’m sorry.”
Kayla places
a hand on her older sister’s shoulder.
“There’s no need to apologize,
Angelica. You’ve already been
forgiven. That’s in the past and we are
stronger than ever because of it, but still, it’s a mistake you made.”
Again Kayla
motions to Oliver Hardy’s office door.
“Oliver made a mistake too. He realizes it and wants to make up for
it. I think we should give him that
chance.”
Angelica
sighs and nods her head.
“Fine, we can give him a chance but I don’t
like it.”
“Yeah, you’ve already told me that plenty of
times.”
Kayla turns
the door knob and opens the door. Angelica
enters first followed by her sister Kayla.
Immediately they see Oliver Hardy Jr. sitting at his desk. He rises and holds out his hand for Angelica
to shake.
“Hi there, Angelica!”
She looks
down at it and then back up at Oliver; she sneers but reluctantly accepts the
handshake.
“Yeah, hi…”
He turns to
Kayla and walks over to her and embraces her in a tight embrace.
“Hi,sis!”
“Hi, bro!”
Angelica
rolls her eyes.
“I want to puke.”
Kayla and
Oliver chuckle. After breaking the
embrace, Oliver walks back over to his desk and sits down. He motions to the two chairs in front of his
desk. Angelica sits down in one and
Kayla sits down in the other.
“So, Breakdown wasn’t the best night for you
ladies…”
“That’s an understatement.”
Angelica’s
remark is dripping with sarcasm. Kayla
shoots her a stern look, indicating that she needs to be more respectful. Kayla then turns her attention back towards
Oliver.
“No, it wasn’t. We’re disappointed but, in all honesty, this
could be the best thing to happen to The Sisterhood.”
Angelica’s
eyes grow wide with shock upon hearing this.
“Best thing?! What are smoking, sis, and why aren’t you
sharing?! The only BEST thing that could
have happened would be a shot at the tag titles.”
“I want to be SCW World Tag Team Champions
again just as much as you do, but we need to earn our way back to the top. We need to prove to the world that we are
serious about this tag team division.
Working our way back up from the bottom to the top may the best way to
do just that.”
Angelica
rolls her eyes.
“I don’t care what the people think of us,
Kayla, and you know that.”
Kayla
smirks.
“Yeah, I
know, that’s why I’m here to be our public relations person, because you are a
public relations nightmare.”
Angelica
sighs and turns her attention back to Oliver.
“Let’s just get down to business, then,
shall we? Have you spoken to management
about next Breakdown?”
Oliver nods
his head.
“I have.”
“So what do you have for us?”
Angelica is
clearly impatient, anxious to know what SCW management has planned for them
but, more specifically, what kind of strings, if anything, Oliver Hardy Jr.
managed to pull. She is going to be
slightly disappointed with his answer.
“Nothing for you, Angelica.”
“What?!”
He shrugs,
smiling sheepishly.
“Sorry.
Mr. D wants to give you that show off.”
Angelica
sighs and nods her head.
“Fine, fine, whatever. I guess I can prepare for Apocalypse then.”
“Good, that’s a great way to look at this.”
“And what about me?”
Kayla
asks. Oliver now directs his attention
to Kayla Jones, his former foster-sister.
He smiles broadly from ear to ear.
“You’re facing Lexi Von Aaron.”
“Lexi?!”
Angelica
shoots straight up out of her chair, angry at this turn of events.
“That dimwit? Mr. D is putting my sister, a Jones, a member
of the greatest wrestling family ever, against that dimwit?!”
Kayla sighs
and looks to her sister in an attempt to calm her down.
“Mr. D has his reasons.”
“Yeah, and his reasons probably include
disrespecting The Sisterhood.”
Angelica
motions to Oliver Hardy, who remains seated at his desk.
“Not to mention how Ollie here royally
screwed you over. His job as our
representative is to make sure we get more high profile bookings. Not…Lexi Von Aaron…”
Kayla stands
up now out of her chair. She turns and
stares down at her sister.
“Oliver is doing the best job he can. So back off.”
“You’re defending him?”
“Yes, I’m defending because he’s doing the
job we asked him to do. And to be
honest, Angelica, facing Lexi is not that bad.
She was on the verge of becoming tag team champion at Rise To
Greatness.”
“But she’s an idiot!”
“That may be true, but that doesn’t mean she
isn’t talented, and it doesn’t change the fact that she is my competition and I
have to do what I can to beat her at Breakdown.”
Angelica and
Kayla have a tense stare down that lasts for several seconds. The tension could be cut with a knife. Finally, Angelica just rolls her eyes and
turns away.
“Fine, you deal with Ollie.”
She opens
the office door.
“I’m out of here. I’ll see you back at the gym, sis.”
Angelica
walks out and shuts the door behind her.
Kayla sighs and then turns back to face Oliver.
“I’m sorry about my sister, Oliver. I don’t know why she’s so angry all of the
time.”
Oliver grins
knowingly.
“I know why.”
“Please share! I’d love to know what’s eating away at her
ass.”
“She’s worried about you.”
Kayla is
taken aback. She sits back down in the
chair as she digests what Oliver just told her.
“Worried?
Angelica?”
Oliver nods
his head.
“She’s playing that role of overprotective
older sister beautifully. Only she’s not
playing, she’s being very real about it.”
“If that’s the case, which I seriously doubt
by the way, then she really should stop because she has no need to worry about
me. I can take care of myself and I’m
surrounded by great people and…”
“Great people like me, for instance?”
Kayla
frowns. She can see where this is going.
“Oliver, do not go there. This is different and you know it.”
“Is it really?”
He shuts his
eyes.
“My past is not the best. My dad was a monster who sexually abused both
of us. It drove me to the point of
insanity.”
“But you are not your father and your father
is dead. And as for the insanity, you
found your way back.”
“True, but Angelica has every reason to fear
and no reason to trust me when I tell her I’m better.”
He chuckles
lightly.
“You’re different from the way you used to
be, sis.”
Kayla cocks
her head to one side and frowns.
“In what way? How do you mean?”
“You’re way too trusting. A lot more than your sister. You quickly have been willing to embrace me
and accept me back into the family. You
even gave me a high position in your company.
But your sister doesn’t trust me yet, and I told you from the start that
I would have to earn her trust, and I thought I’d have to earn yours.”
“I guess…”
Kayla sighs
and shakes her head.
“…I guess I just want to believe you have
changed.”
“I have changed, Kayla, but so have
you. You used to believe in the motto
“don’t trust anyone.” Now you want to
believe that people can change. You want
to believe in the best of people.”
Kayla looks
up at Oliver critically.
“Is that a bad thing?”
“Not necessarily, but you do need to be
careful. There are some people you can never
trust, there are some people who will just never change. Watch out for them.”
Kayla turns
her head away momentarily. She ponders
what Oliver just told her, for it makes her think back immediately to the young
lady who has been recently stalking them; a black haired beauty by the name of
Audrey Russo. She tracked them down to
their private gym where Angelica found her and ran her off after threatening to
call police. The next week Kayla spotted
Audrey watching them from afar at their hotel room. This was the next morning after Trenton Snow
had proposed. Did Audrey witness the
whole thing? To what extent was Audrey
taking this stalking?
Kayla
cornered Audrey and interrogated her.
She listened to what Audrey had to say.
Normally Kayla would not have had anything to do with someone who had
clearly been stalking her but, much to her own surprise, Kayla gave Audrey her
contact information so that she could get in touch with Kayla again if she
needed.
Oliver is
right, Kayla had changed. But is it a
change for the better? And furthermore,
is Audrey Russo someone she can trust?
Kayla thinks about this as she turns her head back to face Oliver.
“Uh, Oliver…”
“Yes?”
“A couple of weeks back, Angelica and I were
training at Angelica’s private gym. Much
to our surprise we had a surprise visitor.”
Oliver
arches his brow out of curiosity.
“A surprise visitor? You don’t say?”
Kayla nods
her head.
“Yeah, her name was Audrey. Audrey Russo.”
“How did she find you guys?”
“I didn’t get a chance to ask, Oliver,
because Angelica ran her off before I could ask her anything. And I thought that was the end of it.”
“There’s more?”
Kayla sighs
and again nods her head.
“Last week she showed up again. She showed up at our hotel, she was clearly
spying on us.”
“Did Angelica see her?”
She shakes
her head.
“No, and I’m glad because if she had, Audrey
would have been dead. But I did see
her.”
“What did you do?”
“I cornered her and I asked her
questions. I wanted to know how she
found us and what she wanted.”
Oliver nods
his head.
“Good.
What did you find out?”
“Apparently she had been stalking us for
quite some time.”
“That’s rather creepy. What does she want from you guys?”
“That’s another interesting thing. She wants us to take her under our wing so to
speak. She wants us to train her and to
be like her mentors. She wants to be our
protégé.”
Oliver folds
his arms over his chest.
“Did you run her off like Angelica did?”
“Uh…”
Kayla smiles
sheepishly, her face turns red.
“…no.”
“No?”
“No, I gave her my contact information if
she wanted to see me again.”
Oliver
chuckles.
“Well, ok, that was interesting.”
Kayla bows
her head in shame.
“You think I made a mistake, don’t you?”
“It’s not what I would have done, but…”
He shakes
his head.
“…no, I don’t think you made a mistake.”
He stands up
out of his chair. So does Kayla.
“Sis, there was no real right or wrong in
that situation. Not in my view. You made your own judgment call and, to be
honest, I do trust your judgment. If you
trust this Audrey person, then so do I.”
“So you think taking her on as a protégé
might actually be a good idea?”
“Why not?”
He grins
knowingly.
“Who better to train a future generation of
pro-wrestler than one of the greatest pair of wrestlers ever?”
Kayla
embraces Oliver in a tight hug.
“Thanks, Oliver. I needed that reassurance.”

On Camera
==========
I try to be
fair to everyone. I try not to be overly
judgmental of anyone. I would like to
think that I am the type of person that could get along with just about
anyone. Perhaps I may be a tad biased,
but I’d also like to think that most would agree with me. You have to admit that, at the very least, I
am nothing like my sister.
Angelica
Jones is the angry, violent, sadistic member of The Sisterhood. Angelica Jones is the one who will take no
prisoners and will do whatever is necessary to overcome her enemy. I am not like that. I can get violent if necessary but being as
extremely violent as she is, well that’s just not in my nature. I can be sadistic if I am pushed to that
level but I’m rarely pushed to that level.
As for the anger…
…well, we
all get angry from time to time, right?
It’s just a matter of do you have a short fuse or a long fuse? Or to put it another way, how much are you
willing to put up with before you’ve had enough? How much are you willing to put up with until
you get sick and tired of it all and you just snap?
You can
guess that my sister usually has the shorter fuse. I tend to be the more patient member of The
Sisterhood.
And yet it
all goes back to what I just said; everyone gets angry. Everyone has a point at which they cannot
take anymore. And when it comes to me, I
can tolerate the stupidity and ignorance and overall incompetence of certain
people. I can tolerate it to a degree, I
have some patience for those people, but even I have a breaking point.
That
breaking point is named Lexi Von Aaron.
Lexi Von
Aaron is the great gimmick thief. She
came into this sport thinking she would be pure and wholesome, the exact
opposite of her deranged, perverse brother Ethan Von Aaron. You have a problem, darling; you are
definitely not that first to have tried that gimmick.
I could go
on and on naming wrestlers I have either encountered or watched on television
who have utilized a similar gimmick, but at risk of the peanut gallery whining
about how only SCW and maybe UWA matters here, I will just point out one person
and one person only…Alana Starr.
During that
time, darling, you were just an Alana Starr wannabe. You were an Alana Starr reject. The difference is that as annoying as she is,
she is damn talented. You were the type
kept falling flat on her face because you were a failure.
That brings
me to the next step in your evolution; your Money In The Bank days.
Is Money In
The Bank still a thing now? Irrelevant,
but the point is that you hung onto their coattails. Chanel Hunter and Lenore Mason always were
and always will be Money In The Bank.
You were just the glorified cheerleader.
It didn’t even
make sense for you to belong with Chanel and Lenore in Money In The Bank. You were quite the racist back in the day and
Chanel damn near killed you for it. My
how quickly people kiss and make up in this industry.
But let’s
put that minor little issue to the side for a moment, because I want to focus
on how you really never fit in with either Chanel or Lenore. You never fit in with Money In The Bank. You went from a prude to a stuck up valley
girl willing to shake your with the sluttiest of the sluts.
Yeah, that’s
definitely a realistic, believable transformation.
Now you’re
the redheaded defender of all things ginger?
You even dubbed this new movement of yours the #NationOfGinger. Cute, real cute, and it’d be even cuter had
it been original. Unfortunately it’s not
original.
Jenni
“Jinxy” Anderson of GCW and Marie Annabelle Jones of UWA called, you know, the
founders of the original #GingerNation?
Yeah, they want their gimmick back.
Oops, silly
me for mentioning feds that are supposedly irrelevant in the SCW universe.
And the way
you’re going about it, Lexi, just further illustrates your stupidity and
ignorance. You claim that injustice
against gingers is racism? Sweetie,
being ginger has to do with hair color.
It isn’t a damn race, you dimwit.
Oh but what
am I saying? Your stupidity is well
known, Lexi. I’m preaching to the choir
because, quite frankly, everyone already knows it. And God knows I don’t want to be accused of
stating too many facts. Don’t want too
many of those pesky facts running around, now do we? If some supposedly honorable people had their
way, mentioning facts would be left out of the equation.
But that’s
not who I am and that’s not how I roll.
You cannot argue facts no matter who you are. It doesn’t matter how great you are and it
damn sure doesn’t matter if you come from a famous family like the Jones
family, the Von Aarons, the Cruze family, or the Helms family, at the end of
the day the one thing that you cannot change, no matter how powerful or famous
you are, is a fact of life.
And the fact
of life, Lexi, is that stupidity…or outright ignorance and incompetence,
whichever it is for you…will always lead to your ultimate destruction. Incompetent people are always failures. Why is it that you left Rise To Greatness
empty handed, Lexi?
It had
nothing to do with “racism against gingers” or any other stupid claim you can
think of. You failed because you were
incompetent.
Do I sound
too harsh? Do I sound mean? Tough.
I’m speaking facts about the lesser Von Aaron, and the fact is that you
are truly what everyone says you are…stupid.
But while
we’re on the subject of intelligence, let’s talk about my feet. How does my feet and intelligence tie
together in any way, you may ask?
Have you
ever heard the term “educated feet”? It
means you are a damn striker, especially when it comes to your feet. And Lexi, there is no one in SCW whose feet
are more “educated” than me. I would
dare say my feet are more educated than your entire body.
Or perhaps
that’s just hyperbole. Look up that word
in a dictionary, Lexi. Although I am
quite certain that you have never used a dictionary before in your entire life.
