OOC: Continued from

Off Camera

Ron turns Lynn around as Katrina appears.

Ron: I think you two have some talking to do. I’m just here to keep you two from killing each other now.

Lynn glares at the woman who is her tag partner as Katrina returns the look.

Lynn: So you could call my brother AND my husband to be, but NOT me you bitch!

Ron rolls his eyes at this thinking nice way to open a conversation.

Katrina: Look who happens to be talking NOW. Where the hell were you when I faced Odin?

Lynn: Backstage. I didn’t know I needed to hold your fucking hand in the ring. I expected you to be able to do a good job but apparently I was wrong. But two weeks with nothing from you? You should be damn lucky you’re here right now, otherwise we’d have problems come Sunday night.

Katrina: You’re lucky we don’t right now. But your sweetheart convinced me that the only way we can retain this title is to mend our little rift and go in against the snow bunny and her fox as a team.

Lynn: He’s smarter then you, that’s for sure.

Ron: WHOA! Both of you!

Both women look up at him, and Ron realizes he has two volatile tempers in the room at the moment, and amazingly his wasn’t one of them. But the last thing he needed tonight was an all out catfight that would end in death in his room.

Ron: Look, that’s not exactly putting hostility aside. If either of you want to hear it, Mero and Vashel did do a promo against you and I think you both should watch it.

Lynn: Just don’t ever fucking disappear on me again.

Katrina: As long as you remember you’re my partner.

Lynn: Partner, not slave like Demi.

Ron: Anna!

Katrina: See, even your beloved knows you’re stepping over lines here Anna Lynn.

Ron: And you need to back off Katrina. Anna has a point.

Katrina realizes that Ron won’t take any shit off either women, at least not tonight.

Ron: Please….after Sunday I’ll let you have an all out brawl here in the room, but tonight and for two more days could you function as the team who won the tag titles in HVW?

Lynn turns away from Katrina, which both Ron and Katrina know Lynn wouldn’t do if she wasn’t trying to get her temper under control.

Lynn: You’re right, show me what the little twit had to say. But….

Lynn looks at Katrina.

Lynn: Don’t ignore my calls again, ok?

Katrina: Then don’t forget we are partners my dear friend…ok?

Ron sighs and wonders if it’s worth the headache but instead goes to the computer and finds the promo. He gets two chairs and the two women sit down, granted rather uneasily, next to each other to watch what Andrea and Ted have to say . When its over, its hard to say who Lynn is more pissed off at, Katrina or Andrea, but she looks at Ron.

Lynn: I hope I don’t….

Ron: I’m way ahead of you. That is if you want to.

Lynn looks at Katrina, who has stood up.

Katrina: Now you know my dear that would be the silliest question you can ask. You think they’re going to get away with those type of comments?

Lynn smiles and goes to find her tag title belt as Ron gets ready, silently thanking higher powers for Katrina and Lynn putting their differences aside like he asked.

On Camera

The camera opens to find Lynn and Katrina sitting in plush chairs side by side in some hotel suite, the balcony door open in the background, a breeze blowing in. They both have their tag title belts and neither looks very happy about something.

Katrina: So once again we have to deal with The Ice Age for our tag team titles at another pay per view event this very week. How many times must we show them that we are so much better and dominate then you are in both singles and tag team battles. We already beat you two in order to become the HVW tag team champions while my partner Lynn already showed the world and little Ms. Mero that she is so much better then her as a wrestler and as a champion. So instead of allow us a day off or giving other more deserving tag teams the chance of a life to battle the Hell Kats and lose like all the rest, what did The Ice Age do to even get another shot at our titles? Beat the worthless Rescue, who by the way have been losing a lot of matches after Eryk Van der Merwe was humiliated within my perfect hands. HA, what a joke!

Lynn: You know Andrea and Ted, Katrina makes a valid point, why you again? I realize the tag division of HVW is running a bit shallow, and while the Stoiner Bois may not be the greatest competition there is for us, at least it would be fresh competition. The Rescue, well…they lost to the Stoiner Bois so they aren’t even a blip on the radar, but you think that you are both as bad as us, especially you Andrea, because you have two title matches Sunday night just like me.

Lynn rolls her eyes as Katrina laughs at this.

Lynn: You talk about my triumphant return to the States and how you looked forward to it, and you could hardly wait, and how you watched me capture the SCW title, a title that to this day one person on this planet besides myself NEVER has regretted me being the first champion of. It’s a title I’ll remember till the day I die because you’re right Andrea, it was the beginning of a return. But apparently I did get in your head but you know what I find so….would I say laughable about it? No, ironic is that you think you are a greater tag wrestler then me. Granted I’m the only four time tag champion HVW has seen, this time around with a partner that NO ONE, and you can’t say that doesn’t include you in there somewhere, thought I would take on. This time its with a woman who is just as tough as me.

Lynn stops to think as Katrina leans forward with anticipation.

Katrina: See this match I feel as if it's more of me against Ted Vashal, since our tag team partners also have other matches to deal with. While Lynn tries to successfully defend her International Championship against the Wiccan Knyght, your precious little snow covered bunny will be losing her Continental Championship to James Marsh-Asher, who easily defeated her the last time they met. See Teddy, while they may be saving themselves for their other matches, we on the other hand have nothing else. This is the only match is the only match we are in and to be honest with you my little winter fox, I have this match well in hand. See, I have wrestled in both tag and singles matches since the re-opening of the HVW, while you have done nothing but becoming nothing more then Andrea's backpack. You are the weak link within the Ice Age while both of use are strong, there is no weak links here in the team who hold the title you seek.

Lynn: Then Andrea, after saying we have some unfinished business, just you and me, you suddenly remembered “hey Katrina is in this match”. Then nothing but lies flew from your mouth. Feral Destruction has been a team since late and the last time I looked that’s going on for four years. Before you try to answer back with the “but where’s Cam at Lynn?’ he’s doing his own thing in FTWO while I decided that with a new opening of HVW came time to have a new partner, to prove I could do it with anyone, and I chose a woman who guess what Andrea, is not just a tough individual but especially one that can get under your skin. You think I don’t like “playing well” with others? Bullshit, you don’t know me at all. Feral Destruction may not be here, but guess what? The team hasn’t died, we just chose to resurrect it somewhere else.

Katrina nods in agreement to this, knowing full well, thanks to Ron , that Feral Destruction was indeed becoming quite active again in FTWO.

Katrina: Oh and don't you dare think that I forgotten about you either my dear little snow covered bunny, because I haven't. See Andrea, we have a history together and it always seems to come around to us battling over and over again. I hate to admit it but in singles you have the slight advantage when it comes to wins, but I on the other hand have the clear advantage when it comes to tag team matches. Hell, I'm one half of the greatest HVW teams that ever was along side my other half as The Hell Kats, while you Andrea has just been lacking that one extra step to becoming a champion once more. My little snow covered bunny, as we all know that you are the more talented of the bunch while your beloved fox is simply just dead weight to which you constantly carry around while doing most of the work. You claim that I can't stand on my own two feet, well I know for a fact that I can but I can't seem to say the same about your lackluster boy toy Teddy. In fact, when was the last time he EVER won a match on his own because I can clearly say that I have won lots on mine, like the time I broke you in two as I remained the HVW Women's champion back in the Fan's choice Shockwave. Plus I know that sometimes Lynn doesn't play nice with other but as you can clearly see, we work amazingly well since we are what you aren't, and that’s the HVW Tag Team Champions.

Lynn: Then we finally hear Ted speak, and you talk of two big egos. Why is that? Realize that your WIFE has the bigger ego then you? See she talks about how I was on some power trip before and all that, but where have you been Ted? You want to talk about dead weight, then go look in a mirror because that is all you have become. I don’t mind Katrina having some of glory. Surprised? You shouldn’t be. At least I know how to let my partner shine unlike your WIFE.

Katrina lets out an evil laugh at this.

Katrina: So Ice Age, I hope that you prepared yourselves for what will be your final and absolute downfall against the more dominate and better team. I hope that Teddy can finally be a man and step up rather then be a boy and have you Andrea carrying him around, like always. And also, I hope that you spent all the time in world together because this Sunday, your lives will come to a quick end at our hands.

Lynn: This Sunday we will show why we are the HVW tag champions, and we will show that we are the better team. We’ll simply use you as our example of why not to underestimate two of the strongest women in wrestling today.

Camera fades to black as Katrina lets out a laugh and Lynn simply smiles.

DAMN IT ALL, it was just ONE MINUTE LATE as Star and I rushed as fast as we could to post it up. But it was late once we got to the thread. Anyway it's 2 CD's V Shoot & CD.

FUCK!

[Jason]

One word comes to mind here...

Owned.

[Shane Lawson]

I second that.

[Nash]

I agree as well...that's why I always RP earlier in the day to ensure the board doesn't fuck up. Like at least an hour in advanced.

[Star]

Well pardon me for spending most of yesterday with my family. It was the first time (I"m NOT kidding) since Xmas that Ron and the kids had off together and that all three were home, so first we went to the movies (ones they chose) and then had to do other things together, then went to an awards dinner for my daughter last night.

I will tell you that Luis and I didnt talk to each other until Thursday night and honestly the only time I had to work wtih him on this CD/shoot was after 930pm last night.

I think we were looking more for feedback, not smart ass answers. Trust me, no one is beating themselves up more then me that it didnt get posted but I think Luis was wanting feedback on the shoot which in the limited time (and I was finishing up another match) is something we did together. That was all.

[Jason]

I'm bored, so I guess I can do the whole feedback thing, but I'll be honest so if you don't like it...Well, it shouldn't have been asked for.

Character Development: So, I liked the tension between the two, its clear that Lynn and Katrina have different ideas of what makes a team. Lynn doesn't see the need to start bailing one another out of matches, Katrina disagrees. A new team may encounter those issues, so that part was good. Avoiding each other for such a long period of time over one match, which wasn't really an important match? Uhh..Sure, why not, I guess that's possibly if she's *that* pissed off. However this issue just seemed to...vanish, I didn't feel it really got resolved, they just moved on to Ice Age. I realize this was done closer to the deadline that both handlers hoped, but when I read this, I didn't see ANY real resolution to the conflict at all.

Shoot Portion: When did Ice Age rip off Brian Kendrick and become THE Ice Age? Subtle things like that can stand out in a promo, at least to me they can. While they don't really take away from the promo, it's just something that I personally find annoying. It would be like if someone typed "Odin Knight", again this is just something that annoys me as a reader, it has no real bearing on the shoot...Just wanted to point it out. Another thing that can seem out of place is talking about other companies, I don't know what SCW is but why is their title relevant here? I didn't read the Ice Age shoot, so even if they brought it up I would have preferred it had just been blown off. If I'm a fan of HVW, I don't want to listen to Lynn talk about how much she cares about another companies championship. Other than those, I didn't think the shoot was too bad, granted I haven't really followed the team much. I would like to say, I think they deserve a better name, I think the ending could have been a little stronger, but when you don't have time to think up something strong...Well, you end with what you have. As I said earlier, I haven't read the other promos, I don't know if this is a match winning promo or not, but it's not really a bad one at all. Could it be better? I think it could be way better, since I think both handlers are capable of more than this, even with time constraints, I think the promo was just poorly planned out.

[Randy]

Randy's World Review:

Since I too have nothing else better to do I'll chip in my two cents. I'm warning you, the following review is not a nice one. I'm generally a nice person but in this case I gotta go A-Bomb Over Bagdad with this one.

I won't comment on the off camera part because it was well... off camera. Where I'm from you can't develop a character off camera. If the promo was on camera I would had paid attention But on to the shoot.

Lets see. The opening of the shoot (The Katrina dialogue) could had been better. As far as openers are concerned it was ok; nothing that would make me tune out if this were a promo on live television.The Ice Age did beat The Rescue in a number one contender match, that was one blip in the first paragraph. The Rescue may blow as far as tag team go but The Ice Age did earn the shot outright but by reading the promo it made it come across like they were given the shot. The Lynn follow up "why you again?" only drug on the point further. If The Ice Age could had responded to this, Tricia would has easily torn this point apart like a stripper getting her legs split open. Too graphic?

The second bullet point by Katrina (the talking about Lynn and Andrea being in other matches) has no relevance on the match itself. This is a World Tag Team Match. Even if your partner and the other persons partner is another match don't bring it up. You are promoting the match you are in, not other matches. The "I feel this is more about me and Ted" is not what this match is about. The Lynn part that followed did more of the same in my view because she began by talking about Feral Destruction. I don't care if Andrea brought it up in her tag shoot, this match is about Hell's Kats and The Ice Age, not Ice Age vs FD. I didn't read this promo for other tag teams and the other person's title matches to be promoted in a match between Hell'sKats and Ice Age.

The third part (where Kat spoke a-gain) talked about Katrina's lackluster singles record against Mero. I don't care if Mero brought it up, once again, this match is a tag team match. It would had been better if you focused on the tag team match. That's ammo you got on your side, use it. This isn't a singles match, that point would had been better served in Mero vs Kat Part III or whatever. Then the Ted Vashel part was very uninspiring at best. Dead weight? Yeah. I think everyone says that about Theodore, nothing new, nothing orginal. Even if it's true it's played out.

Like Jason said, the ending was not great. It was a forgettable ending, just your generic ending with no real sting.

So overall: It's a good thing this promo was one minute late. It's good this promo wasn't posted at all because this was not a promo suitable of two good handlers who are representing HVW as it's tag team champions. Perhaps you guys felt you needed to get a shoot up, perhaps you just through this together in 10 minutes. And this is what happens when one of the people involved in the match is booked in THREE matches on the same show. Posting two CD's for your title match. posting a CD and a shoot for the World title match, and posting a CD and the above for this match I can't blame you for having nothing left but you put better effort in your others matches then for a match where your tag team partner was depending on you to get a shoot up and this FAILED. So failed. But whateve, both of you are waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better then this performance. I honestly do believe if Tricia could had responded to this she would had blown this up like an A-Bomb dropping in Japan.

Yeah. That's my two cents. Over and out yall.
