Wine & Talk

Tokyo is a beautiful sight. The nightlife is unlike anything else in Asia, and here was BIANCA enjoying it. With recent bookings in her old home promotion, she was taking time to enjoy herself. A luxurious hotel room was the setting as BIANCA was sitting down and looking down at the bright lights of Tokyo, a glass of red wine in her hands as she takes a sip. Having heard the comments of her opponents earlier in the day, BIANCA saw this chance to reply while still enjoying the comforts of the expensive, high-society life.

We are all represented by what we do in our past: the actions, the sins, the victories, and even the losses. There’s a reason why people like to recall the past when talking about their opponents, history has been written and it’s there for all to see. They are tools for us to use but also to be used against us. This is why it’s said by so many who have come before to  Normally history has been written by winners of wars but my opponent is different. We all know what he can do, we’ve seen what Chris Sabertooth has done in this industry but particularly what he has done in OWA.

Why do I bring up OWA and not any other promotion? Easy, I was there when I saw this fucking man let his soul be consumed by a whole demon. It was everywhere, every person talked about how a man so fragile let himself become a host, just so he can be a world champion. Now I get the whole deal with the devil, even Chris’ wife knows that pretty well but do you know the difference between those two situations? Chris went on to murder a man. Before you reply, don’t give me the bullshit that he sacrificed himself, at the end of the day, you were the reason why he died.

That’s what happens when you have a past as bleak as yours, it becomes quite a weapon against you. And your past is quite a pitch black one, no matter what it will hover over you nonstop. That part is for certain, almost like a guillotine, ready to drop and chop your head off. Why do I bring this up? If this strategy didn’t work for someone like Aren Mstislav, why would I want to poke the bear or in Chris’ case, poke the sabertooth tiger? Honestly, it’s quite fun but it’s a good reminder. Let me give you an example, as much as I hate wasting a Chateau Margaux, this might give a good viewpoint.

Bianca takes one more sip of her wine before setting it down on the table in front of her. From that same table, she grabs two napkins and pours some wine on one of them. She soon lifts both of them by pinching a corner of each napkin, using it as an example.

Do you see this, this clean one is me. This is my career, I poke a lot of people, I say a lot of things but my career has been clean. At best I got steroid allegations thrown at me because incels couldn’t handle that a woman had a better physique than most men. My fault was not being able to live up to the expectations OWA management placed on me when I got the call-up. I’ll be the first to say that, my knees buckled from the pressure and I left, I asked for my release because I needed to rebuild myself. Once I suffered my ACL tear and I realized that I grew soft. I had to rebuild myself, I was 100% Icarus, I got careless and realized that things were gonna be different on the main roster. I got burnt because I didn’t keep myself close to the ground. Do I hate myself? No, because I have nothing to be ashamed of, yeah I got my failures hanging over me but a Top Tier doesn’t look down, they rise up.

But you Christopher, your napkin is this one. The wine ruined the paper, you’ve got this red stain on it. These aren’t your failures, these are your actions. We all know how accomplished you are, Christopher. Everywhere you go, you end up with gold around your waist, you’re one of the best in the world but blood stains will forever remain on your resume. I might have failed to live up to my potential but at least I won’t be remembered for murder.

But enough of that, let’s talk about the match about to happen.

You said it best, this is the finals set as a first-round match. Because the two of us are favorites to win it all but that’s because it would be unfair to the rest of the competitors. Think about it, multiple-time world champion versus one of the best athletes in wrestling and sports as a whole. If you were someone like Harvey or C, wouldn’t you be happy to learn that if you were one of them or whoever else is being thrown in this tournament? This tournament is special, it will determine a ruler of this promotion, a sovereign of APEX and you have experience beating those who have ambitions to rule the world. But this is different, Aren Mstislav is man who think he still king when in actuality, his kingdom has been extinct for a long time. Ghost of a monarch who once was but here in front of you is a woman who wants to rule with iron fist.

But for a simple reason, I don’t have the desire to be some piece of shit who wants to control the world. You know the typical bullshit that flows through people when they become wrestling royalty, that isn’t for me, Christopher. If anything I want something simple out become Queen, it set into motion my comeback, and if anything it proves The Top Tier Moniker isn’t a lie or some sort of arrogance but self-confidence that you should be noting this down, you say you’re a Top Tier because you’re a multiple time world champion and one of the best this industry has right now.

I say I’m The Top Tier because I’m the best athlete that this industry has seen in eons. I match with incredible skills in the ring. That’s my reason to be one and forever will be. First time in your life you’re gonna face a woman who is stronger than you and almost as tall as you. That’s a skill set you won’t see every day, maybe once in your life.

Taking another sip of her wine, BIANCA has accepted that her foe is a strong challenge for her.

I get it, that I shouldn’t be confident about beating Gisele, and honestly, it was practically a given that I would be beating her. At this point, even a toddler can beat that Thirst Trap. I don’t need you to act like I’m not, hell I’m not saying you should call me a Top Tier. I believe in my own hype as much as you do, the difference is that I don’t need people calling me the best in the world to act like it. You almost act like me getting injured erases away my accolades, is your other half a demon or a fucking clown because that’s what you sound like saying bullshit like that. Before OWA turned you into the megastar you are today, I was already main eventing shows at the age of 23. That was me, still rough around the edges

So answer me this? If you get hurt and the world will forget your sins? But if you want to keep acting like that, keep going, it just means one loss for you and my entry into the second round.

You’re sorry for what you’re gonna do to me? Well… Sucks to be you because I’m not sorry for what will happen to you, it’s just business and my desire to ascend to the ruler of this place means being ruthless with foes especially ones of your caliber needs to be a thing.

I’ll see you there, Christopher. Who knows… If you’re as good as people say, I might need to spill some blood on my hands for the first time. Unfortunately for you, it’s gonna be your blood.

With one last sip of her wine, Bianca puts down her glass, looking at the Tokyo Night Sky with a gaze and wondering about her foe along with so much more as the camera fades to black.
