Scene One
All By Myself
Cameras : On
Isolation can lead you to have some unwarranted doubts. The pregnancy test had read negative but something in my head couldn’t move on. Doctor’s said it is too early to tell so I can’t stop what I am doing. I have to make money. I have to stay employed and to do that I have to live up to my contract. No matter what my mind was telling me, my body was obviously telling me there were no changes and so I must prepare for a match with Red, White, and Bruised. I must come out of isolation and team up with Estrella. Even if I had only become a shell of who I once was. I was once a bubbly little princess.. Now being Queen has made me unsure of if this is what I truly want. Is it truly for me? Sadie had all the answers unfortunately she isn’t speaking to me.

A dimly lit room is our scene as we see Kennedy Matthews, hair clippers in hand. “Buzz” the sound of the clippers running through her hair. Strands fall to the ground as we see Kennedy smirking in the mirror. She’s been through a lot lately and it was showing.
”It is kind of funny really. When the Royal Family first came into Action Wrestling as a team, Red White and Bruised was our first tag opponent. Now we have come full circle. I have heard the rumblings on social media about how they are now former tag team champions. Is that supposed to scare me? Culture Shock learned the hard way what happens when you step in the ring with the Royal Family.” Kennedy says as she smirks again. She grabs a box of hair bleach. She begins massaging it deep into her scalp.
”People have been steady talking about me and Estrella and Geri and how we are holding Lissie back. If you ask me I think Lissie is doing just fine and at Uprising she will show she is all in. Much like Estrella and I are going to be all in for this tag match. Karlie, let me ask you this, are you going to be mentally ready to step into the ring with a woman who has nothing to lose? You may not be the same as you were way back when but I am not either. We have both experienced some traumatic things. The difference is what I will do to you inside the ring is the biggest trauma you have ever experienced. I am going through a lot of stress and I plan to release it on you and Nikki. I plan to make you all see that you are nothing compared to me and you have no place in Action.” Kennedy looks in the mirror. She nods her head. ”Excuse me.”
The camera cuts out for a bit as we hear the shower running. After a few minutes Kennedy is seen in a towel, her hair is now blonde as the daylight is bright. She looks in the mirror as she speaks again. ”Lor' luv a duck! Sometimes we 'ave ter go ter a place in aaahr minds where everythin' is dark an' nothin' makes sense in order ter see who we truly are. We 'ave ter go ter da depths ov aaahr own personal Hell ter live aaaht aaahr Paradise. Sometimes we 'ad ter die inside a little ter fully understand da value ov aaahr lives. As I look at da state ov da Acshun Wrestlin' roster i' absolutely sickens me. Karlie Nash an' Nikki Vaughn 'ave made an absolute mockery ov da business I was raised in an' i' is abaaaht time someone stands up fer wrestlin' as a business. There is no place fer lewd acts in da rin' awer on da television ov aaahr fans. I am sick an' tired ov people usin' dis business fer modelin' gigs awer fer sexual encoun'ers. I am sick an' tired ov models awer little fn bitches ge'in' ahead simply because they wave their gigantic tits in da faces ov 'orny, puber'y stricken teens. I am tired ov birds ov 'edonism ge'in' ahead simply because da network morons fnk they 'ave a chance wiv deese women. Newsflash, Karlie Nash likes vagina. If yew 'ave a dick she won’t touch i' wiv Nikki Vaughn’s mowf. Know what I mean?”
Kennedy takes a breath to calm down. She smirks as she looks at a box of blue hair dye. Her half shaven head is very visible at this moment. She smirks as the puts on the gloves and begins mixing the color. As she shakes the bottle she speaks again. ”I apologize, I truly do. What I do not apologize for is what I am about to do to Red, White, and Bruised. I do not apologize for anything I do to them. They are simply getting what should have come to them long ago.”
She shakes some of the blue dye into her gloved hands and begins running her hands through her bleach blonde hair. She smirks as she massages it deep into her scalp. She speaks again. ”Blimey! For far an' all long Karlie Nash an' Nikki Vaughn 'ave been given passes fer their behaviors. Managemen' from CBS Spawts 'ave 'ad us take i' easy on 'em fer ratings. Wanna know what I fnk at dis poin' in me life? FUCK RATINGS! I am tired ov bein' a yeah bird fer da network. Fuck CBS an' fuck their sleazy network 'eads. Fuck 'em 'ard. Fuck anyone who wants me ter not break every bone in Nash an' Vaughn’s bodies. I am simply not gon'a listen ter anyone anymawer. Wan' ter fine me? That is fine. Wan' ter fire me? I am an' all needed in dis company fer that. Torture an' Camilla know that, win awer lose, I brin' ratings. Butcher's Hook at 'ow much merchandise I sold at Evolushun Bottle ov Glue ter see 'ow impawtan' ter dis company I am. Butcher's Hook at da classic matches I put on. I made Dani California look good an' now she left. I make stars. Karlie I 'ope yew remember 'ow yew injured me knee last time ya sloppy biffa. Thee got away wiv one then. Now is da receipt I 'ave waited months ter give yew ya bloody beaver. Nuff said, yeah?”
She breathes again as she makes sure in the mirror that her hair is fully covered in the dye. ”Excuse me again, please” The scene goes black as we hear the shower running again. Some light singing can be heard from Kennedy. When the camera comes back on Kennedy’s hair is blue as can be. She smirks as she begins putting some makeup on in the mirror. She laughs a bit as she speaks. ”Sometimes we have to fall completely apart to be put back together. Unlike Humpty Dumpty this gal shall be put back together. Karlie, Nikki, I hope they can find all the pieces to put you back together when Estrella and I are finished with you. We are sick and tired of your antics and at Uprising we are going to end them once and for all. Hope you all like eating through tubes because that is going to be all you can do for the next few months. The Royal Family is about to completely rip you apart, slowly and painfully!”
The scene ends with Kennedy smiling from ear to ear. She is different yet the same. We haven’t seen a side like this from Kennedy Matthews. I would hate to be Red, White, and Bruised come Uprising!
Scene 2
Where Is My Mind?
Cameras : Off
Change is inevitable. It has all boiled down to this. A war was raging inside my own psyche. I needed to calm it down. Uprising was just around the corner and nothing could be done with my placement on the card. As hard as I have worked I continue to fight myself in my brain on whether or not I was good enough. I was good enough for Lissie. I was good enough for Estrella. I was good enough for Geri. Why was I not good enough for myself? Why was it that here I am battling demons within my own mind that I had no clue I had. Here I was, being dumb within my own mind and nothing I could do to get out of this funk. I had invited Lissie, Estrella, and Geri over. They needed to know what was going on.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
The scene opens to show Lissie, Geri, and Estrella all shocked at Kennedy’s new look. The silence goes on for a few minutes before Estrella speaks. ”So, is this like a mid life crisis kind of thing? I am so confused.”
Kennedy’s mind turns to the worst as she speaks. ”I...I don’t know what to say. It is a new look but the same attitude. I am simply reinventing my look. I have changed my attitude a bit but I have never changed my look up. It is time my look matched my attitude. I am tired of being a laughing stock. I am tired of not getting the recognition for my accomplishments.”
She walks over to a trophy case. Lissie places a finely manicured hand on Kennedy’s shoulder. She points at a big title in the middle of the case as she speaks. ”What is that one?”
The letters GHW are seen in bright gold lettering. Kennedy looks down at the floor and back up. ”My one and only world title. Grindhouse Wrestling. I was a twenty year old kid with a legacy when I won that title. I was a mere Princess who would later become a Queen both inside and outside the ring. What I wouldn’t give to go back to those days. I miss having gold around my waist. I thought the United States Title was going to bring me back to prominence. It slipped from my grasp. In the last year alone I am a former WCF Television Champion. I am a former WCF Hardcore Champion. I am a former Action Wrestling Television Champion. Maybe giving the TV Title up was hasty of me. Maybe I am not good enough for bigger and better things.”
Geri Miller walks up and slaps Kennedy really hard. Kennedy grabs the side of her face as the Royal Family all look at Geri who just shrugs. ”What? We all wanted to do it I just had the balls to actually do it. I know each and every one of you is tired of Kennedy being self loathing. She is better than this and we all need to pick her up, even if that means slapping the piss out of her sometimes to snap her back to reality. She has won more gold in Action Wrestling than the rest of us combined and while that will probably change soon, we need to all help her see how necessary she is in the grand scheme of things.”
Lissie pulls Geri aside and speaks sternly to her. ”Look, I am not saying you are wrong but Kennedy may or may not be pregnant so we all need to be aware and be here for her. Slapping her is simply saying that we don’t care about her at all. Got it?
Geri nods before speaking. ”Yes I just…”
Lissie cuts her off. ”Yes, I know. Simply need to remember that when we have a period we usually PMS at each other. Kennedy may be on the verge of a nine month nonstop rush of hormones and she can explode on any of us at anytime. We need to support her and the Prince or Princess she may be carrying.”
Kennedy heard the last bit and sits down because she hadn’t been very mindful of her own child she may be carrying.She sits down as she breathes sharply. ”Guys, I don’t feel so good. My stomach hurts. I think I am going to take a nap.”
Kennedy lays on the couch, her cheeks flushed like no other. Estrella lays beside her friend, wrapping her tiny arms around Kennedy gently. Geri Miller rubs Kennedy’s back as Lissie plays with her hair as the scene fades to black.
Epilogue
Dear Diary… FUCK YOU
Dear Diary,
This week is Uprising and Estrella and myself find ourselves back at square one. Red, White and Bruised better prepare themselves for war as we are not going to take any prisoners. They better be ready to completely reinvent themselves like I have. Estrella and I are sick and tired of being told by the Action Wrestling community that we hold Lissie back. Lissie being in the Royal Family has not held her back but rather has helped her catapult to higher ground simply by a change in attitude. Long gone are the days when we all used to care what the fans or the networks thought. We are simply going into business for ourselves.
We have never understood why all the hate toward us but now it is evident. We have to go into business even more for ourselves because our peers and our management wants to hold us down. It is becoming more and more evident. Management doesn’t want us to succeed because it is simply putting over a group comprised of some foreigners and that is “bad for America” although there is more evil with what Karlie and Nikki are doing. CBS would rather have gratuitous lesbian sex on their network instead of good wholesome royalty. We are going to show each and every one of you why you need us and not vice versa. When Lissie wins the All In briefcase and Estrella and I beat the idiotic former tag champs it will be a clean sweep for the Royal Family AGAIN! Ask Culture Shock what to expect. Ask QDT, Kyle Kemp, and Walter what we are capable of. Fuck CBS. Fuck Red, White, and Bruised… the way I feel FUCK Action Wrestling too!
With all due love and respect,
Kennedy Matthews <3 <3 <3
