Year 2086
“Come on lady you gotta pull through!!”
“She's crashing fast!!”
My eyes are closed and I can hear them trying to save me but it's too late. I see the bright light in front of me and start to walk towards it. As I do I can see them working on my body and just smile. My eyes shift back up as I see the light get really bright and then suddenly everything is clear. I am laying in a hospital bed. Looking around the room. I blink my eyes and I see the bright light again. I walk again towards it and just when I am gonna finally reach it. The light is gone and I am being rushed in the emergency surgery room.
The doctors struggle to get me stable and once again I am at that bright light. I pass through the gates and there is where I meet my maker. He smiles at me and in an ominous manor begins to speak to me.
“Mandie Wheeler, you have been through a rough road. It began with you raising your sister and not having much time for yourself. Things got better didn't they? Yes they did. They got so good you took them for granted. You wasted your god given talent by taking drugs and drinking.”
“But I had....you don't understand....You try living my damn life!!”
I felt a piercing pain in my heart as I was back on the operating table and the doctors were still desperately trying to save me. I could feel myself going back and forth. Life, death, and back. I was in limbo.
Year 2006
After my first injury and being sidelined for a bit my mom thought it was over for me and I would just do something normal but I didn't give up. As soon as I was cleared I went back into the gym and started taring myself again. I sparred with anyone that wanted to. I got my butt kicked but I ever gave up. I kept trying and trying till I got better. I went to GWF the local company where I got my first taste of blood. I had to see another show live. It was something in me that just drove me.
I didn't quite grasp why but I had to see the violence up close and personal again. I smiled with excitement as I stood in line for the show. The same guys that splattered blood on me saw me standing and approached me. Everyone stared at me but I didn't care at the moment.
“Mandie right?”
The shorter guy said. I nodded. I couldn't figure out how he knew my name and I guess the expression on my face gave it away.
“ I know your name because you were in my little brothers STW open challenge and got your self beat pretty badly.”
I hung my head in quite shame.
“It's OK, atleast you showed heart. I started out in backyard wresting and look at me now. One day I am gonna make it bigger and so will you. You just need better training.”
I raised my head and smiled at him.
“I am sure I'll get better.”
I said meekly.
“That's the attitude to have. You know what? The names Ron Tyler and I am gonna train you.”
My face lit up like a Christmas Tree.
“Really?”
“Yeah, you got that special something in you and I can see along with Todd. We know you got the desire you just need training and at The Fire Pit you can learn a lot but till then we can help you out.”
Todd nodded in agreement and that is where my training began.
Present Day
Sitting backstage here in the Wells Fargo Arena Mandie Wheeler is wrapping black tape around her left ankle as she prepares for her Television Title match. This is a huge match for Mandie and she is more nervous then she has ever been. She has only been with UCI for a short time and already she is being trusted for a title shot. This makes Mandie feel great inside but nervous because now the pressure is on and she has to deliver or else this might just be her first and last title match. Mandie knows what a title match means and that not everyone gets them. Some spend their whole careers chasing that one opportunity and never get it and now here she is getting a golden opportunity at a Prestigious title. A title that means your one of the best and in her mind the best. Why? I think she'll explain this in a moment or two?
“Good evening UCI faithful and I hope you're in high spirits. Well, now that the pleasantries are out of the way it's time to get down to business.”
Mandie flashes a soft smile.
“First let me thank Chris Cane for a well fought match and maybe next time you'll get the win? Then again maybe not? Now, I want to thank upper management for this golden opportunity they have bestowed upon me. I mean they are trusting a rookie to possibly hold a prestigious title and the most if you ask me and I'll explain in a bit.
My opponent is Chase Jackson and congratulations on becoming only the fifth person to hold that title. Do you know who has held it? I am sure you do but let me refresh your memory. The very first UCI Television Champion was Wentworth Updgraff Jr. whom held it an astonishing twenty-one days. That's amazing but he lost it to Dustin Beaver. Then wentworth regained it only to lose it to Jessica Buck. Whom by the way just like me had the title shot in only her third match in UCI. You beat her Chase Jackson and for that I applaud you. **Clap!! Clap!!**
Thing is I am not Jessica Buck. I am not Wentworth nor am I Dustin. They went on to do better things or just do other things.Me? I am just getting started and I plan to become not just the first true rookie to hold the Television title but to become the longest reigning Television champion UCI has ever had.”
Mandie half smiles as she sighs a bit batting her big brown eyes softly.
“Now, why do I want to become the Television Champion? Simple because it's the hardest title to hold on to; as you have to defend it each and every show against anyone and everyone. Do I want other titles? Yes, but right now the UCI Television Title is my goal and you are in my way Chase Jackson. And I can't allow you to screw up my plans. No, I can't allow Chase Jackson to get one over me. You can;t nor will you be the one to beat Mandie Wheeler. You are not worthy of that prestigious honor' Just like you are not worthy of the Prestigious honor of being called the UCI Television Champion. That title should be held by someone that wants to fight each and every week. Someone that will show intensity each and every match. Someone that will do whatever it takes to win and keep it and that someone is me.
I am the person that deserves to be called Television Champion not you. Not Jessica Buck, Not Dustin, not anyone but me! **Points to herself** I deserve this more then anyone because thus far I have been facing the scrapings of the bottom of the barrel. I have fought nothing but garbage and I deserve better. I deserve to be facing the best UCI has to offer and it begins be facing you. Yes, I said you are the best because right now you have what I want and that's the Television title.”
Mandie closes her eyes as she is getting really excited and into what she is saying/ She takes a small breather to gather her thoughts.
“Chase Jackson, you got passion and desire but I have just that much more passion and desire then you do. I haven't done a damn thing in my career yet. Sure I have two wins but they mean nothing until I until I beat someone that matters and as much as it pains me to say this. You matter, you matter because you just won that Television Title. You just beat Jessica Buck and now you are riding high and I bet you are even overlooking me and that's fine please do. Underestimate me.
You know my whole life I have been told I am not good enough. I won't win the big one or even become a wrestler but look at me now. I am a wrestler and I am on the verge of becoming the newest UCI Television Champion.”
Mandie starts taping her other ankle as she continues on.
“Chase Jackson, I am not a good girl nor a bad girl. I am just that girl that's gonna take you to places you've never been. I am gonna make you fight harder then you have ever fought. Forget everyone you have ever faced and focus on me. Focus on the woman that is hell bent on beating you and do whatever it takes to get the Television Title. Chase I want you to do me a huge favor. Don't take this personal as it's not you fault you have something I want and that something is The Television title. I don't care to much about what you have or haven't done you are irrelevant to me. What is relevant is the title you hold. I want it more then life itself and at this point in my career I would sell my soul to the devil to achieve that goal.
Oh, if you think what you have seen from me is something honey you haven't seen anything yet. Mandie Wheeler has just begun to scratch the surface of UCI and Chase you should feel honored as you are part of my career and in years to come you can tell everyone that you faced Mandie Wheeler and were the first one to lose a title to her. You can tell everyone you were the first one responsible for Mandie holding her very first title. Don't feel ashamed you should feel really honored that you will forever be a apart of my history. Sure you'll be a foot note but regardless you will be a part of my history.”
Mandie says with a huge smile as she starts putting her boots on; tightening the laces. Mandie's confidence is at an all time high and she is showing it by what she has said thus far but she plans to say a bit more.
“Chase, I feel for you. No, really I do. I feel bad that you are facing me at this juncture in my career. Not because of what I said I'll do but because what I am about to do to you. I talk a lot but honey I back it up and will each and everytime no matter the outcome. You wanna remain the Television Champion? Then you'll have to kill me because I will not stop till I hold the UCI Television Title.
See, Chase when I first signed up for UCI I really had no real direction. I was just gonna face whomever comes my way and still will but now I have a goal and my goal is to become the Television Champion. You unfortunately are the person holding what I want and trust me Mandie gets what she wants one way or another. Even if I have to do things I don't want to do like face scum like you. Seriously you are not on my level you are beneath me and as much as I want a fight you sure as hell won't be the one to give it to me. Nope you are to relaxed. You are in your own little world right now celebrating your win at Beachmania. I bet you aren't even aware that you are facing me? I bet you think you have the week off or that I am a joke right?
Well, honey let me tell you something. Mandie Wheeler is no joke. No, Mandie Wheeler is for real and ready to take the bull by it's horns and stick them straight up your ass. You wanna overlook me or not I am fine with that. Just when that bell rings all bets are off and I will kick your ass and somehow someway I am gonna win.”
Mandie gets up and stomps her feet on the ground to get her boots set right as she begins to walk out of her dressing room with the camera following her. As she walks down the hallway passing several UCI superstars and women. Mandie has a different aura about her tonight as her focus is not just on winning but making a statement. As she heading down the hall Mandie kept talking as she knew the cameras were following her.
“Chase Jackson in just a few moments you and I will clash and it's gonna become a ballroom blitz where anything and everything can and will happen. This is my biggest match to date and I dunno about you but I plan to make the most of it. I plan to take advantage of this golden opportunity and showcase what I truly can do when the stakes are high. If you have paid attention you've seen me take my opponents apart so far but they have been nothing compared to you right? I mean who are they and where are they now? You on the other-hand are the UCI Television Champion. You're the measuring stick of what it means to be the Television Champion. Thing is tonight I intend to change all that. I intend to be the true measuring stick of what it means to not only be the Television Champion but a Champion in general.”
Mandie stops and turns to face the camera.
“Chase tonight you get the full dose of whom Mandie Wheeler truly is and know this. I am not just another pretty face. I am not a good girl. I am not a bad girl. I am just that girl that's gonna take what belongs to her and you better just get the hell out of my way. Tonight Mandie Wheeler etches her name into the annuals of UCI history and there is nothing you can do to change that. As you are just another victim that's gonna tap-out. Don't feel bad Chase everyone taps out to Mandie Wheeler sooner or later you just happen to get the early number. Get ready because tonight is a night you won't soon forget as your wet dream nightmare comes true. Now let's get this show on the road. ”
Mandie blows a kiss to the camera as she turns around and walks away.
