*Alicia Gordon is walking along the streets of the upper west side of NYC. She stops in front of a New York Sports Club (NYSC)*
Alicia: "Hmm, it's only a few blocks from my new apartment, I think this will have to do."
*Upon entering, Alicia is immediately blasted with deafening music*
Alicia: "Wow...why is it so LOUD? And why are they using 80's dance music?"
*Alicia shakes off the confusion of the situation and walks up to the front desk. She is greeted by a woman dressed more for a strip club then an exercise facility*
Alicia: "Hi, I'd like to become a member of this gym"
NYSC Employee: "We dont really like to call it a "gym"...that sounds so like, eeww, so sweaty!"
*The employee shakes inexplicably*
Alicia: "Well...whatever you DO call this place, I'd like to join."
Employee: "Like, which membership program would you like to sign up for?"
*The employee hands Alicia a small, but extremely glossy and colorful, piece of paper. Alicia looks it over*
Alicia: "Most of these programs are pretty similar to each other. What do you recommend?"
Employee: "Well, you HAVE to take the Kickboxing Dance classes! And the Self-defense Salsa classes and the..."
*Alicia shudders much in the same way that the employee did before*
Alicia: "Um...I'm gonna steer clear of those..."
Employee: "Don't like the "marshall arts" (her understanding of the spelling)? They are SO cool these days!"
Alicia: "Um...yeah, "these days"..."
Employee: "So what DO you want to do here?"
Alicia: "Well...um, how about...exercise? Run, lift weights, train, SWEAT!"
*Alicia says the last word with particular satisfaction, anticipating the employee's bodily "gag" reflex, which immediately follows*
Employee: "What are you training for? Are you like an athlete or something?" *twirls her own hair*
Alicia: "I am a professional wrestler, a REAL martial artist, and yes, proudly, an athlete."
Employee: "Wrestling!? That's so cool! Well...it was a few years ago, when the Rock was around! Are you like one of those "Divas" or something?"
Alicia *cutting the employee off* "Look...I have here one of these NYSC "free 1-week passes"...can i use it now...and start training now...IMMEDIATELY? And do you mind if I bring a cameraman in just for a few minutes?"
Employee: "yeah, ok, i guess thats cool...but i want to hear more about being a Diva! I kinda want to be one and...
*Alicia has already walked away but that doesn't stop the employee from babbling on about such things as the Diva Search, "Pudding matches", and OG-FPD star Randy Orton*
*Alicia motions for the cameraman, who has been standing outside throughout this incident, to come into the gym. With the cameraman following her, Alicia walks up to the treadmill and clenches it as if it had some sort of spiritual power to cleanse her of the previous "conversation"*
Alicia: "Ok, buddy, let me just work up a sweat...
*At that moment the employee from before walks by*
Employee: "um...EEEEEEW"
*Alicia shakes her head in disgust*
Alicia: "As i was saying, let me work up a sweat and then you can turn the camera on. I don't want to say anything til i get into a zone, ok?"
Cameraman: "And jus whaddya want me to do in the meantime?"
Alicia: "I hear there's a Kickboxing Dance class, you can ogle the women!"
Cameraman: "Dun and dun!"
*Alicia begins treadmilling and pulls out her mp3 player. She begins listening to her very own entrance music, "California Love" while envisioning herself walking to the ring for the very first time at an OG-FPD Joshi show. This vision is giving her goosebumps despite her body heat rising from the exercise. She begins working even harder. At around the 30 minute mark, the cameraman comes back*
Camerman: "Ready?"
Alicia: "Yeah, let's do this...turn the camera on"
*The camerman obeys with a minumim of fumbling. Alicia slows down her treadmilling a bit to reduce noise*
Alicia: "Hello OG-FPD Joshi, I am, once again, Alicia Gordon. And I am here at one of NY's fine exercise establishments...called a gym...
*The NYSC employee walks by again*
Employee (in a sing-songy, annoying voice): "Um, we don't like to CALL it that...REMEMBER?"
*Alicia begins running faster to vent her frustration*
Alicia: "It has come to my attention that not all New Yorkers are as dedicated to physical fitness as it would seem, considering these "sports clubs" are on like every block...flanked by Starbucks of course."
Alicia: "However...this city is where I make my temporary home now: as it is not far from the Orochi-O's Inc. Headquarters, which is just north of the City. So I am here, continuiing to get myself in the best shape possible...preparing for my first OG-FPD match...AND PPV."
Alicia: "I guess the OG-FPD scouts enjoyed my performance in LAWL so much that they wanted to get me on Voltage and on PPV as soon as possible. A wise move by them, indeed."
Alicia: "And my opponent at that PPV...none other then Kaori NiGHT. Kaori is a LEGEND in Joshi wrestling. She was one of my inspirations to become a wrestler, in fact. The way she combined her aerial moves and kicks really made me think about hybrid styles. And I remember my LAWL class excitedly watching tapes of her!! Kaori has rightfully referred to herself as "The HiGHLIGHT of the NiGHT"
Alicia: "She showed it again at the Darkness Falls PPV when she had an amazing match with the quite impressive Ms. Haley Cannon. And now, OG has decided to put ME, an OG-FPD Joshi rookie who hasn't even had a MATCH here, in a match against Kaori NiGHT. You are all justifiably asking yourselves...WHY?"
*Alicia begins running faster on the treadmill, really working her calf muscles*
Alicia: "I can't adequately describe the answer right now...because I have not SHOWN you why. Nor would I want you to believe me just on face value. But I can promise this. You will all fully and VISUALLY understand my participation in the PPV after you see my first match."
Alicia: "At the next Voltage on Sunday August 14th, I will be making my debut against another OG-FPD rookie, Diva Dynamite. I promise to show each and every one of you why OG has granted me the honor of facing Kaori at the next PPV."
Alicia: "August 14th will be the start of what will be MY Highlight Reel in OG-FPD Joshi. Kaori, you aren't the only one here who can put people at the edge of their seats. I will show everyone what I am capable of. And Diva, I kinda envy you...as you will witness my own highlight show, first hand."
*Alicia smiles and continues running faster on the treadmill as a look of confident determination graces her face*
