Backstage at the Lakefront, following the conclusion of the previous show, Trixie Mars is packed up, bag on shoulder and heading towards the exit. She spots the camera and heads for it.
“Hiya NLW fans! That’s two wins out of two, just as I’d hoped…and that leaves me with just one more…I’m talking about you Cheez, of course. You know, when the groups were announced, this was the match I least looked forward to, wanna’ know why? Because people would think you and I are similar, Cheez. And sure, I get it, you and I are forever the underdog, right? We’re always being questioned about our size, our talent, how far we could possibly go.”
She scoffs.
“Here’s the thing, I answer those questions with not just an answer, but a damn statement. Cheez? A roll up here, an inside cradle there. You’re lucky to get out with your life Cheez whereas I made Traywick tap to The Needle and crash landed so hard on Bugz? that he’ll not wanna’ come back out his cage too quickly. I made definitive statements. That’s what I’ve been doing from day one, that’s why we can’t be compared.”
Trixie sighs.
“Don’t get me wrong. I look at Cheez and I get the sense he may have had a childhood not too different from my own. I know first-hand that there’s nothing as cruel as school children. I know what it is to be the outcast, to prefer to play games, watch wrestling. I went through the hazing, I went through the social anxiety, I knew what it was to have a face that doesn’t fit. And hey, just like you, I did what I enjoyed as an escape. But instead of hiding behind a screen I trained my ass off, I worked ‘till I could barely move to get these sorts of opportunities, to get the attention of people like Rob Arnold. You? If Dunne wasn’t riding you harder than a highly paid hooker would you still be doing this?"
She shrugs.
“When I hear people around here, they all seem to feel sorry for you for some reason. Me? I pity you. You hide behind your screenname of Cheez, and yet Richard is a guy that never took control of his life. Richard, the kid who should be one of the world’s best streamers yet gets beaten up here twice a month.” Trixie shakes her head. “I pity you Richard, not just because of this, but because you’re in my way. You’re in my way of the Semi Final’s of the G1, you’re in my way from going to three wins, and that means one thing, I’m going to make a mess of you Richard, and maybe it’ll knock some sense into you, and you’ll stay in your room from now on.
As she says that Rob Arnold walks in shot alongside her and raises an eyebrow.
“No dick joke?”
“Go to SCCW for those.”
“Fair enough, let’s go.”
Fade out.
