Ze Germans vs Bond & Bronco (Liesl)

[Noelle Smith]

Liesl Albrecht is already standing in front of the camera when the power clicks on, wearing her favorite t-shirt decorated with the 'Hans the Hammer' logo complete with a gleaming German flag highlighted with sequins and what looks suspiciously like Bedazzling work; her Herrlicher jeans set low on her hips showing a slice of tanned flesh between the hem of the shirt and the waistband. Her boots are exchanged this time for a pair of Pumas – made in Germany. For a moment she simply stares at the camera, then she shakes her head, throwing up her hands before she speaks.

"Finally, we get the answer we seek...perhaps. They label us 'Ze Germans' as if that humor on their part will make us less than we are. Hans and I, we are truly #GermanStrong and yet...is that not the crux of why we have done what we have done against Chris Bond? Think about it truly, put aside your easily injured American feelings and use the brains in your skulls! We may not be so politically correct as you Americans love to be – we are far more direct! There is no walking on eggshells here, we simply call it as we see it. How is it though, I wonder? How is it, with how sensitive Americans are, that you did not...each and every one of you...find offense in the actions of the man who is supposed to be our head trainer? These are the things that make me know, that Hans and I are trying to be the Alsatians protecting this herd...of sheep."

Liesl tosses her blond mane, and points her finger directly towards the camera.

"You, all of you! As I told Bree, Chris Bond and Riley Owens, they wish to imprint us like chicks, like helpless creatures who will gaze at their success with star filled eyes and be too sedated, too stupid to question what it is they seek to teach! As if they were good choices to begin with! Chris Bond he claims over and over that the Lion's Den is full of untapped potential, potential that he seeks to elevate and mold into actuality – but he is a liar! A true, bold faced liar! If he truly believed his words, if he really saw those things in the students that are supposed to be his to nurture he would have chosen one of US and not that mewling spawn of the loins of a famous father Jason Bronco! It is merely the truth, his actions speaking it when his words will not."

Liesl had a thunderously angry expression on her face,

"Yet here we are, and Hans and I stand alone! That is fine, I can't say that we expected any less truly, from you lazy Americans! Brag all you wish about how hard you work, but what does that work actually mean in the face of the shoddy, slipshod way that Chris Bond conducts himself as a trainer! He is aware of what happens on Twitter, yes? And yet instead of disciplining those who abuse their time, doing the great American goof off during training hours by whiling it away insulting each other on social media? He lauds them! He advances them into 'better' classes while ignoring the ones that dare to question why this is. Foolish! More proof right there before your eyes that he is not a man who should be entrusted to train the future wrestlers who will take the places of the great champions of today."

Liesl paces before the camera, throwing her hands up in frustration.

"How do you not all see through his lies? His laziness! He is not training people to become future champions, he is training people to take the places of those like him who never reached to the fullest extent of their abilities! How is this acceptable? Why are we not afforded training from the best of the best that is out there? Where are the people who hold championships in the here and now? Where are the Chandler Scotts, the Whiskey Ayanos, the Dexter Jacobs, the Izzy Anders, the Tony Carmines? Where are the ones who always reach for the brass ring with all their might, such as Dom Harter? Where are these people to pass on what they know? These are the ones that can give much to the people who train in the Lion's Den."

Liesl comes to a halt and levels her finger at the camera again.

“We are being robbed of the opportunities we work so hard for! By a man that is worse than garbage! Hans and I... we will not stand for this. Neither should any of you.”

Liesl shakes her head and then walks off camera.
