Define the Line

[Dan Herrera]

McKenna Kingsley is seen standing in front of a HKW AIR backdrop as the camera begins rolling. She looks over at the cameraman asking if it’s ready. He nods at her and she looks at the camera and begins to speak.

"Well, Veneno 10 didn’t turn out as we’d hoped did it. Another loss to Vanilla Hurricane and now me and Jensen are eliminated from out chance at winning the tag titles we deserve to be going after. And why? Because Cruze decided to make it his personal mission to annoy and pester Vainillo into a Velocity Championship match? Great. Could have done it on your own time asshole."

McKenna shakes her head as if she can’t believe the luck she’s had lately.

McKenna Kingsley
"No, instead we’re disqualified by him one week, and then distracted trying to take care of him for Vainillo and Hurrican Rojo the next. The whole time talking about how happy you are to have fought us both times and that it was “good lucha”. Let’s see how civil you’d have been coming out the other end of those matches like me and Jensen. Hmm? Probably not walking around with your head so high and pretending as if me and Jensen should be so happy to have fought so well."

McKenna rubs her forehead for a moment hoping to collect her thoughts.

McKenna Kingsley
"But things should be better now. That match has past and no matter how much me or Jensen dislike the outcome, it can’t be changed now. So the idea was to come into THIS week for a friendly exhibition between myself and Emily Carter. I don’t know Emily that well besides our interactions on twitter, but Jensen does.

He knows you and has said many nice things about you. That’s why when I was approached about this match I was really excited. I’ve been wrestling for awhile now and you’re working up to the end of your first year as far as I can tell. It was supposed to be a fun match for both of us to test us against each other. An exhibition to see whose name is etched on the side of the Carolina Cup for all time."

McKenna shifts her weight from one leg to the other and crosses her arms.

McKenna Kingsley
"But it would appear that there’s a bit more to things. Maybe I’m blind. Maybe I just don’t want to see things when they’re laid out right in front of me. But I don’t see what people are constantly telling me about you and my boyfriend Jensen. You just seem like friends to me. But when so many people are constantly telling me how you are trying to make moves on him it starts to put that doubt in my head. Maybe I just don't want to see it. But I doubt that that many people have come together to create a lie so devious. The more people it comes from the more merit I begin to see in it.

So Emily. What is it? Because as far as I’m concerned there are two ways this match can go. It can go on being the friendly match that we’ve been hoping and excited for OR it can become something more ugly based on the rumors that are beginning to prove to have value. After the past two matches I’ve had in AIR, I’ve got plenty of steam to let out. And if what has been said is true, then I’ve got plenty of coal to fuel the fire when we step into that ring."

McKenna puts a hand on her hip as she uses the other to guessture as she finishes off her thoughts.

McKenna Kingsley
"So what’s it going to be Emily? I’m tired of being in second place because I’m too nice to see what’s going on around me. The way people manipulate this business to get ahead while honest wrestlers like Jensen and myself are left reeling for doing the right thing is beginning to turn me into something I never wanted to be. My brother Steven would do anything to get ahead. I’ve always faulted him for it, but I’m beginning to see why he does it. Perhaps it’s time for me to turn the page. I don’t want to be that person, but perhaps it’s the only person I can be to achieve the dreams I want for myself. The next few days will define our match Emily, and I plan on finding out the truth. I want my name on that trophy Emily. It’s up to you whether or not we come out the other side as friends. I’ll see you in North Carolina."

McKenna shakes her head and walks off set. The camera fades out.
