Barely Legal The Curtain Call Katherine Stryfe, putting aside all the drama filled bullshit of weeks past, your still probably one of the most talented stars in this HIW game that's been around in awhile. Here's a chick who isn't afraid to slow herself down and enjoy the ride along the way, a future world champion who's getting all she can out of her career before she starts to make the big jump forward. To me, not just a veritable unknown and a wildcard that I'm going to have to watch out for, but a person who in what matches I have been able to see of him, shows incredible talent in that ring to a point that honestly impresses me. If I did have to ask to face anyone in the HIW right now, it would have to be the rising stars of the future, the wrestlers who aren't afraid of what's ahead of them in their own careers. I've faced veterans and legends, even heroes and villains of the HIW alike... but to face the new blood that will one day dominate the HIW? That's something I always love to do when I've got the opportunity to, because it gives me hope for the future of this company and the hands it's going to be in. So, that being said... I couldn't be more thrill to do all of that and knock the bitch down a few pegs. I'm thrilled to be going into No Exit, thrilled about the epic showdown, thrilled to be taking on the future of this company, a newcomer and Barely Legal champion looking to defend her title against the slumping veteran. Not only am I going into a pay-per-view that holds significance with me, but I'm going up against a star who I'll probably face again someday around the world title scene, and not only that, but I'm doing it for a title I've created, but never held. When I decoded to put off my retirement, I had my set goals in mind... but I didn't realize how quickly an opportunity to achieve them would present itself. I guess like all things in my career up until now, nothing can be done slowly, can it? No time for rest when you're on the move I suppose... anyone could tell you that Kat, I'm going to be honest with you. I don't know you. I don't know who you are, I've never heard of you, and I don't know what I can expect out of you but what little I've seen in the videos I've been shown. Will that and for the last few weeks, you've been this nagging headach I haven't been able to get rid off. I'm not saying this as though it's some sort-of insult, nor do I intend to talk down on you just because I can ask "Who?" when someone tells me your name. I am legitimately at a loss here when it comes to who you are. Consider the ball in your court on that one, you've got the edge on me in this match and I hope you use it to your advantage. Yet consider that the halls of HIW are lettered with my name, PPV history's have been booked marked with my name, I want you to know where I come from. I'm not trying to save myself from a beating here, I'm welcoming it. I want to be able to face a person who has me scouted because they've studied up on me and know where I'll be coming from. I want a challenge from the woman who's earned the right to call herself Barely Legal Champion, because even though it's not the Elite Title... it's an HIW Title all the same and needs to be given the honor it deserves. And you add in that the championship itself came from a promotion I ran with pride, then you can see the desire that I have for that championship. The five defenses although it was my idea, doesn't mean jack to me. That championship in all honestly means more to me then the three previous Elite Championships I've held In this game, Kat, it's all about surpassing expectations, and right now I don't know what to expect of you, your defense, lets be frank were never at the level that I bring. You never faced anyone besides maybe Emma of my caliber for that championship, to be frank hun, your a disgrace to the Barely Legal division, but even with all this you're still a title-holder nonetheless, and I'm expecting something big. This is going to be my first Barely Legal Death match in a long, long time... and it's against the Barely Legal champion, so you sure as hell had better make me feel it. I don't want an easy match, or a quick match, or even just a "good" match... I want something that people can remember, a match that can help define your career and re-establish mine. I want a challenge, Kat, and I'm expecting you to give it to me. So now when game time comes, Kat, don't you dare disappoint. Don't let up for a second, don't give up partway through... stick it out to the very end and defend that title with every ounce of strength in your body, because that's exactly what it's going to have to take to stop me. See you Sunday, Doll. --- FIN ---
