Mariah Lopez's Official Website

September 29th, 2012: Backstage at Rapture

Here I was, sitting backstage watching my cousin and Heather Monroe take on those two whores The Glamorous/Vicious Combination in a tag team match. I watched closely as I knew I could learn something from two legends in PCW. As I was watching with interest, Tom Pendergrass and Laurie Young sat besides me and began watching as well.

Mariah: Hey guys.

Laurie Young: Hey. I see you're watching the tag team match.

Mariah: Mhmm! I'm watching it so I can learn a couple of things.

Laurie Young: Are you always this focused?

Mariah: Sometimes. I like to learn about this business and you can never learn too much.

Tom Pendergrass: That's what Seth always told us. Learn as much as you can from various amounts of people.

Laurie Young: I remember that too. Seth was a good teacher but with our membership in Team Lethality. We get to take some more advice and this time, it comes from a woman who has made her mark in this company. She's a Hall of Famer and she very well could be the World Heavyweight Champion by this time next year.

Mariah: Damn right she could. And we're going to be there for that very right.

Tom, Laurie and I continue to talk. About twenty minutes later, Danielle walks up to us, very tired and fatigued after a hard fought match which she won. She stands in front of us, holding her back as the sweat is drenched all over her. I give her a bottle of water which she grabs and drinks it.

Mariah: Are you alright?

Danielle: I'm fine. This is like normal for me. I know the rigors of a hard fought match and I got to have some serious fun out there. Plus, Heather and I got the victory over two of Morgan's flunkies.

Mariah: Competing in general is serious fun. Especially when it comes to being in PCW.

Danielle: Exactly. This federation is a lot of fun and you guys will come to learn that once you get further along and compete in the big time matches.

Mariah: As a spectator, it is extremely fun watching your matches. The series versus Heather, the match versus [BLEEP] at Battle Finale II. And much more.

Tom Pendergrass: That cage match had a lot of Holy shit moments. Freaking insane.

Danielle: And more will be made at Anarchy. Have you guys figured out what matches you all will be competing in?

Mariah: That's what I'm hoping to hear back from James about.

Laurie Young: And Tom and I are waiting to see if we are either House Show bound or on the actual pay-per-view card.

Danielle: I see. I hope you all get to compete and have a great PCW experience this upcoming weekend.

Mariah: Me too. Oh my gosh, this is going to be great. Other than the Hardcore stuff of course.

Danielle: I'm with you on that. Thankfully my match is not a Hardcore match.

Mariah: Yeah. Thankfully. Guys, I'm going to go to James' office to see if I have a match or not.

Danielle: Good luck, cousin.

Mariah: I'll see you all back home.

I hug Danielle and slap hands with Laurie and Tom before heading down the corrider. I walk for a while before arriving in front of a door that reads "James Baker; PCW General Manager and King of F'n Hardcore". I knock on the door and open it to see James sitting down at his desk, with the feet propped up as it always is. He glances over at me and nods his head. I take my seat in one of the chairs and cross my legs as I greet my cousin in-law with a nod back.

Mariah: Hello James.

James: Mariah. I take it you are in here for milk and cookies?

Mariah: Oh how I wish.

James: I was making a joke.

Mariah: I know. But I'm here for something rather important.

James: I see. And what would that be exactly?

Mariah: I was wondering if I had a match for Anarchy or not?

James: At the moment, no. Do you want one?

Mariah: Yes. I want one and I was wondering if the rest of Team Lethality could work either the show or both the House Shows?

James: I can arrange both. I am planning on booking a Scars of Wrestling Cup match and I think you would fit right in as one of the contestants.

Mariah: Really?

James: Sure. This would be a good way for you to get a chance to make an impact and against some hungry stars wouldn't hurt either.

Mariah: Freaking awesome. What about the rest of the team?

James: House shows definitely. Actual Anarchy show? We'll see. No guarantees yet.

Mariah: Awesome. Thanks a bunch for this opportunity. We won't screw it up.

James: For your sake. I hope not.

I stand up and give James a light hug before leaving the office. After I am gone, I begin celebrating the fact that I am competing on pay-per-view. I head into the locker room area and the scene fades out.

October 2nd, 2012: At my apartment

It's three days later and the scene opens up to my apartment located in San Diego, California. It is light outside so it's not exactly a dark setting inside. I'm sorting out my things. Going through clothes and I even found an old Tiara I had from when I dressed up as Cinderella for Halloween. Oh that was a hell of a year. I hear my phone ring and notice that it's Jenna. I quickly pick up and talk.

Mariah: Hello.

Jenna Martin: Hey there. Hope I'm not interrupting anything.

Mariah: Not at all. What are you up to?

Jenna Martin: Bored. Waiting for the training session to go down.

Mariah: Is this for the Premium Academy or Da Xtreme Academy?

Jenna Martin: Xtreme.

Mariah: I see.

Jenna Martin: And what are you up to though, babe?

Mariah: Searching through some stuff. I'm trying to find my first ever ring gear yet I'm finding other stuff.

Jenna Martin: Like what?

Mariah: I found a Tiara. I found my old prom dress and I found some other things that I think would be kept between you and I.

Jenna Martin: Oh really?

Mariah: Yes really. Some really neat stuff all in these very extensive boxes. I just wish there wasn't so much stuff.

Jenna Martin: Kind of reminds me when I moved out here. I still have some stuff to unpack. You know me, I love my stuff like it's my life.

Mariah: Haha. I noticed. I know you have a lot of things around your house.

Jenna Martin: Yeah. I tend to be a hoarding in this case although not unnecessarily.

Mariah: Well it's fine to have nice things but never overdo it.

Jenna Martin: You're like that spouse that likes to point things out.

Mariah: I do tend to do that. Past relationships are proof of that. We have been dating for almost five months now but you already know that while I do do that. I do it out of love.

Jenna Martin: You definitely do. So are you able to come over today?

Mariah: I'm not one-hundred percent sure. I have some promotional stuff to take care of today and that's going to take a good portion of the day. That, training and I'm going to be sore.

Jenna Martin: I could always take the pressure off and help you relax if you know what I mean.

Mariah: That does sound rather relaxing. It all depends if I can or not, or if you could come over here and do that.

Jenna Martin: I am fine with either arrangement.

Mariah: Then I guess I will see you later tonight.

Jenna Martin: It's a date.

Mariah: Yeah. I have to go do some promotional work. Definitely looking forward to tonight and will see you then.

Jenna Martin: Yay! I love you.

Mariah: I love you more!

Jenna Martin: No I do.

Mariah: No I do. Haha, bye baby.

Jenna Martin: Bye beautiful.

And from there, the phone call ends. I smile and continue to search for stuff. After some time searching, I find the exact outfit I was looking for. I smile, take it off the hanger and head to the bathroom where I take my shower. About forty-five minutes to an hour later, I come out in a black Chanel dress with black stiletto's on. But I feel something is missing from the equation. I stand there and ponder the question until I finally figure it out. I dig into my make up case and take out some blush as well as red lipstick. I powder my face just a tad with the blush. Not overly doing it but just the right amount. I look at the lipstick and smile even more before speaking.

Mariah: This should do the trick.

I open up the lipstick container and apply it to my lips. Once I am done, I kiss the mirror for good luck and smile. I put the stuff back in the case, grab my purse and my keys before proceeding to leave the apartment. I walk down the stairs and eventually get into my car before driving off.  About an hour later, I have touched down in Los Angeles, California at the PCW promotional event. I am standing by the Voice of our PCW broadcasts Desiree Miles, and her fiancée, Kevin Styles. The three of us are talking and sharing a laugh with one another.

Mariah: Oh my god! You can't be serious.

Desiree Miles: I'm dead serious. That creep keeps hitting on me on my Twitter. He forgets I knocked him into next week at their flagship show.

Kevin Styles: I still watch it and it's hilarious. Don't ever mess with my baby.

Mariah: You two are just so damn cute together.

Desiree Miles: Thanks hun. And congratulations on your relationship with Jenna.

Mariah: Thanks. It's been almost five months and I'm very happen.

Desiree Miles: I'm happy you're happy.

Kevin Styles: Same here.

Mariah: So you two. When is the wedding?

Both Kevin and Desiree look at each other, then at me and back at each other before Desiree decides to give an answer.

Desiree Miles: November 14th.

Mariah: Aww. What made you two decide that day?

Desiree Miles: Because on that day. We stated our feelings for each other and became a couple.

Mariah: Aww. That's wonderful. It has deep meaning and it shows your happiness.

I give Desiree and Kevin a huge hug out of happiness because there's is just awesome.

Mariah: Do you need me to get anything special for this wedding?

Kevin Styles: Presents would be nice.

Desiree hits Kevin on the arm.

Kevin Styles: Damn babe. You hit hard.

Desiree Miles: But you like it rough haha. Anyways. I will be sending you and Danielle information on what dresses to wear. Jenna is also more than welcome to attend if she wants.

Mariah: I will definitely talk to her, but I'm soooo excited.

Kevin Styles: Me too. My bachelor days are coming to an end and I couldn't have had a better woman to spend the rest of my life with.

Desiree Miles: I love you Kevin. And I really couldn't have asked for a better man. One who's sweet, kind and treats me right. You are damn sexy naked but the little things is why I fell madly in love with you.

I start crying a little bit and wipe the tears from my eyes.

Mariah: Damn you two. Making my mascara run down my face.

Desiree Miles: Sorry hun. But gah, I love this man and he feels the same. I'M GETTING MARRIED!

Mariah: It's great to hear and you two deserve all the best.

Kevin Styles: Thanks.

Mariah: Now if you guys will excuse me. I have to go get interviewed. Love you both and congrats again.

Desiree Miles: Love you too, sweetie!

I hug Kevin and Desiree again before departing. It's always nice to see happy people and this is no exception. I walk around the center for a bit until a group of fans reach me with their programs. At this point, I have the tears wiped off and I look somewhat normal but some of it is still visible. I look at the fans and smile.

Mariah: Hello all.

One fan gives me a Team Lethality shirt. I look at it and smile because it represents what I am hoping helps me get to another level that is this industry. I am given a sharpie and sign it.

Mariah: Here you go.

Fan #1: Thank you so much!

The fan runs off and is happy. I chuckle a little bit before a little girl that is five years old hands out a big yellow PCW teddy bear, complete with shirt.

Mariah: What's your name?

Little Girl: Mary.

Mariah: Hello Mary. What brings you here?

Mary: I am a huge fan of PCW. I have been watching since I was three years old and I am hoping to get this signed for my Grandma who is a huge fan of yours and is in the hospital.

Mariah: Aww. I'm sorry to hear about your granny. What happened to her?

Mary: Breast cancer.

Mariah (with a sad expression): Dang. This is breast cancer awareness month and I will do something to honor the women that were lost because of this cause. I will make this out to your Grandma. What is her name?

Mary: Judy.

I sign the bear in honor of Mary's grandmother but also give her something else. Free tickets to Anarchy in Toronto, backstage passes as well as signing a picture of when I was the PWW Joshi Champion. Mary looks at me surprised.

Mary: Is this what I think it is?

Mariah: You bet. I want you and your family to enjoy something special and seeing a PCW event is just that. If your Granny can come. That would be super and you guys can meet all the PCW stars and staff members.

Mary: Wow. Thank you sooo much. I can't wait to tell Granny about this. You are incredible.

Mariah: Thank you.

I hug little Mary and even take a picture with her. This is the part of the job that is worth it to me. Putting smiles on people's faces. As Mary and her family are gone, I check my phone to see of any new messages. I get one from James stating my opponents in that Scars of Wrestling Cup match. I nod my head before taking the time to walk around some more and find a place to talk on the phone. I get inside and pull out my phone and call James. It rings a few times before he answers.

James: Why hello there.

Mariah: James, cut the crap. I'm not one of those morons that prank calls.

James: Right, sorry. What is your concern today?

Mariah: None actually. Just I'm very excited for my match. Having these type of opponents is soothing because beating all three of them raises my stock very very high.

James: It's only going to get harder from here on out. You know this.

Mariah: Indeed I do. Since I'm at this event and all. Do I just talk about my opponents there or anywhere else for that matter?

James: That one is up to you. I'm not one to tell you where to say stuff and all that. I'm not a dictator like people say I am.

Mariah: I know. And I have a good idea on where I can speak.

James: Well you better get to it then.

Mariah: Oh I will. Talk to you soon.

James: Indeed. Later.

I hang up the phone and after putting my phone back in my purse. I crack my knuckles and begin walking down the hallway. I reach a room and go inside. From there, the scene fades to black.

The End

-----------------------------------------

The Scars of Wrestling Cup. A match that has proven to make stars. Case in point. This cup helped Heather Monroe springboard herself into what she is today. And she is a Hall of Famer in this company. Another one is my cousin Danielle who while was gaining recognition prior to even winning it, it helped springboard her into the PCW Broadcast Championship picture and kick started her series of matches against Heather which is what helped her become one of the best in this company today. Even legends have won this event. Kevin Styles. A man who has won numerous titles in our business, is a part of the past winners of this match. And even others greats who have competed but not won. Competitors like Adrien Cochrane and Aurora Rose come to mind. This is the type of match that makes careers and helps it push somebody in the right direction.

And I want that for me.

This is my second televised match in PCW, but like my first one. This is a big deal for me. If I win, I get a free championship match whenever I want. I could cash in the first cup for a Broadcast or Tag Team title shot. If I save them. Two gets me a Platinum title match and three of them get me a potential PCW World Championship match. A lot of possibilities if I do win, but if I don't. I still get the honor of competing in this match and as such with how Adrien is doing in PCW at the moment. I could end up doing bigger things anyways. It's all an unpredictable scenario but I would rather not have it any other way.

Let's get down to business though. Although I haven't been here that long. I know of some of you by watching the tapes. Leon Lonewolf is that first name that comes to mind. He's done about everything there is to do in this company. Former World Heavyweight Champion, Platinum Champion, Broadcast Champion and he even held the Brawl title when it was active. Sans the tag team titles... he has won it all. But as of late. His performances just haven't been up to what is usually associated with him. It could be anything really but ever since losing the title to Yoshiru last year. He hasn't been the same. And this run in PCW is unfortunately the same. I still think Leon has what it takes to be a success because it was not long ago that he was the king of the mountain and nobody can lose their skills in such a short time. But will I get to face the Lonewolf of old or the Lonewolf that got his ass handed to him by Yoshiru Long just a few days ago?

That remains to be seen.

I am hopeful that it is the former. Because I want to face the best this company has to offer. I don't like facing people when they're not at their best. I guess I have that Lopez spirit as they all call it but facing the best just makes one give that much more effort and I want to give that effort and so much more. I am driven to improve with each match and leave a lasting impression on our fan base. I respect what you have done Leon. I really do and I hope you do come to Anarchy with your A game and if you do. Then it just adds another honorable factor into this thing.

Another person I have taken the liberty to watch is Mya Denton. This person is somebody who is associated with a group that's affiliated with that filth group, Toxic. I hate Toxic. Now I am not saying all members of Syn's Disciples are bad people. Far from it and from what I have seen. You have a good head on your shoulders, but in this one. You just happen to represent Team Lethality's enemies. Maybe by mere association but a representation nonetheless. I like what you do in the ring and all and likewise with Lonewolf, I hope you bring all that you have and who knows, we might actually get to show all the fans just how good we really are. Despite being associated with shitty people.

I wish you the best.

Now onto the wildcard of the equation. He goes by the name of Kuk Killswitch. Gathering what I have seen. He likes the Hardcore style of wrestling. Okay, I know people like that in actual life. I'm related to one of those Hardcore wrestling guys. I also read that he's very stiff in the ring, is sort of an a-hole and is a loner. Whatever suits your boat is fine with me. I also know loners and they don't like to talk to many people. Do I like to talk a lot to random people? Not really. I'm not a loner type because I have friends whom I talk to and family members as well as a significant other I care deeply about. Does that make me a bad person?

To me, no.

The only thing in this contest that I truly care about is kicking some ass, making a name for myself and hopefully put myself in position to win this match. If I do all of those things. I will be satisfied. I might be the least experienced in this match and I know I will be in that position for the vast majority of contests I compete in PCW, but that doesn't mean I don't have the heart and determination to get the job done. My skills might not be up to par but dammit. I'm not going to let that defer me from coming out victorious. Mya, Leon and Killswitch. I know you guys want to win and move a step closer towards the championship scene in PCW. That much is obvious, but you three will have to go through me to do that and I will be bringing my A game. I promise you all that. Only thing I have left to say is...

I will see you three at Anarchy.
