(Our view opens to an approaching black and white shot of the iconic sign on Mount Lee, located in the Hollywood Hills. Our scene soon shifts to ground level, where the color fades in once we see Emily Carter. Emily is seated nearby the sign as she overlooks the crowded city below.)
“Oh hi, babes! Emily Carter here and right behind me is the famed Hollywood sign,” she says as she points her thumb behind her. “As you look down below, you can see all the hustle and bustle of the city of Hollywood. Peeps come to this city from far and wide to live out their dreams. They flock to Tinseltown in hopes of catching their big break and one day achieving superstardom. That’s what 20 of 3GW’s best will be trying to do on Saturday. In two days, deep in the heart of Hollywood will be the Red Carpet Rumble, where 3GW will crown its first-ever Paramount Champion.”
“In this match, you’re gonna see everything under the sun. You’re gonna see everything from a ThreePeatKiller to a Gang Green General, a Peacemaker to a Power Princess, and a Crown Jewel to a… Emerald Jewel” She lets out an annoyed sigh. “Seemingly every walk of life and every experience level will be represented in this match. The 20 of us don’t have the luxury that the Gold Star Connection and Bueno Club have on Night Two. There aren’t any teams working for a common goal in this one. We won’t have a partner to pick up the slack if we’re starting off slow. There won’t be a partner rushing in to make the save if we’re in trouble. There definitely won’t be anyone on the apron to make that desperation tag to. Every single one of us will be out for number one: ourselves. This is the type of match that will pit foe vs. foe, as well as friend vs. friend. Unfortunately for me, I’ve gotten to know all about the latter lately…” She trails off, thinking of her “friend”, Mercy Williams.
“In a match like this, there are a lot of targets. There are your Physical Threats, like Maritza and Rab, two competitors who could chuck each and every one of us over the top rope with ease. Another physical threat? Terrence Tillman. Triple T was always heralded as the best pure athlete in LDFC. Since moving out West, not only as he not lost a step, but the man’s gotten better! In a match like this, where speed and agility is key to survival, you can bet that the Leader of the T-Unit will have a target on his back. Then there are your Tricksters, people like Becker Gaines, who seemingly has the full support of our “Mayor”, Jordan Cain. Knowing how deep Becker is in Cain’s back pocket, it wouldn’t shock me if the Rumble was rigged in Becker’s favor. Then there are your Dark Horses, people like Susan Kent, who are hoping to squeak by while the bigger threats are targeted. But you can’t ignore the dark horses, because those will be the ones to come up from behind and throw you out when you least expect them.
“Then there are those that some would refer to as the Odds-on Favorite. And when you think of the favorites, you think about peeps with skill. You think about peeps that have won ‘the big one.’ You think about peeps that have overcome the obstacles to finally achieve their dream. And when I look at the Rumble participants, two names come to mind: Cind...er…Cyncity…” She catches herself, knowing that Cyncity didn’t give us “permission” to call her by her given name. “… and myself.”
“We’re two peeps that have been to the top of our respective companies in the past. Though my run was admittedly much shorter than hers. Cyncity is someone that we should all strive to be like inside the ring. Fierce, resilient, reliable and ready to take on all the obstacles that get thrown our way. Cyncity, I might look up to you now. But on Saturday Night, I will be looking down at you after I throw you over the top rope. It's nothing personal. But if you wanna be the best, you've gotta beat the best. And if eliminating you means winning the Paramount Championship, then I'm sorry Cyncity, but you've gots to go!
When this company first started, the message was clear: if you wanted the glitz, the glamour and the glory, then come to 3GW.
Me? I don’t need the glitz.
I don’t even need the glamour.
But on Saturday Night, I will #TakeCenterStage as I have the glory of being your first-ever Paramount Champion!”
