People mentioned: Kandy Kane Allies/Enemies: none Record: 00/00/00 Out of character comment: First part is off camera and the italics are her inner thoughts; I like this one, hope you do too :] The water in the hotel room sprinkled out from the shower head. Tani reached in feeling if the water was warm enough. The shower was a place where Tani could really think there wasn't anything to disturb her just the sound of the water hitting the bottom of the shower. She pulled her hand away from the running water it had begun to warm up. Tani stepped inside after removing the towel that she held around her body. She got into the shower and let the water hit her face. She took in a deep breath. It feels like I've been doing this for years and I feel like it's all the same. You get an opponent that knows how to talk and he knows how to act tough but it never amounts to anything. There has only been a few wrestlers that have blown me away and right now I can tell that AJ isn't going to be added to the list. There are too many flaws with him. Hearing his sob story didn't really do much for me either, boo whoo someone died because he was a druggy I don't give a shit about that stuff that doesn't mean anything to me when I get into the ring. This guy thinks that he's the only one that is going to give everything into that ring and wow that's just rediculous. I mean I go out there everyweek and I put everything into it even if I don't want to and he as the audasity to say that I'm a person that "quits" and "gives up". This kid has a lot to learn about who I am. He likes to throw words around and pretend like they mean something, he has no clue about what's truth and what's just his hopeful perception of what's reality. He's a nieve little rookie that has stepped into the wrong area and I'm not going to go easy on him because he has a history of being a dumbass and having dumbass friends. When you're a wrestler you need to be focused on the task at hand not things that have happened in your past and I think this kid is too hung up on what he wants to be and isn't exactly thinking about what he really is. He's really just a guy that doesn't have a clue, one that is looking to be something he's not and I...I'm everything that I want to be and I keep showing that I'm the best every week whether I win or lose because I always do great things when i get into that ring. I am not one of those girls that came into professional wrestling looking to do playboy or simply stand on the sidelines looking good. I came here for the same reasons that all the men came here for because I want to wrestle and I have a passion for wrestling and I think that AJ has a different story for me. He thinks that I'm fragile that one little hit is going to hurt me, that's disgusting I hate women like that. I'm not going to fail simply because of a powerbomb like Torrie Wilson would. I can acutally wrestle and wow that's really surprising for most. AJ isn't going to be expecting it and I can already sense that but whatever he has to learn soon that just because you can say your better doesn't mean you are. I know that I am though and he's going to have a rude awakening in that ring when I'm getting my hand raised that the end of that match. I hope he bitches about it for weeks too because I can just picture that. It's going to be a good night for me tomorrow I can already tell because this match is just going to make me feel amazing, winning over someone who is so obviously someone that has much more confidence in himself than he should is the best. It ends up making them look bad and makes me look good because I, unlike him, actually know what I'm talking about. I've studied this guy and I know what I'm up against he's just winging it like that's actually going to get him somewhere...pathetic. I'd have to say that I continue to use that word over and over again when I'm talking about him. It's just the word that comes to mind for me and I can't stop using it with him because it's so true. I've never met someone like him and that's not in a good way it's bad because I've never met someone that was that confident without reason. He's just starting out what reason does he to be cocky? There isn't one, being good in an indie federation doesn't mean anything if you can't do anything in the mainstream then you're nothing. He's going to see that I'm better than what he'd like to think and he's going to see that Tani Lyons is everything she says she is. Tani pushed open the shower curtain turning off the water before stepping out with a smile on her face. She had a lot to talk about and not much time before tomorrow's show. Tani quickly changed and got ready and she set up a camera in front of her. She sat on the couch in the hotel room. She smiled as she pressed record on the camera. "My, you're just full of yourself aren't you Mr. Vandal? Sad really, I mean you're just a newbie and already you think you're the best? Wrong...all wrong sir and I'll tell you why, because I'm your first opponent and unfortunatly for you I am one of the best and you..well you're just a wannabe now don't get me wrong AJ I see some potential in you because you know how to run your mouth. However that's not what it's all about and it sounds weird coming from me because I can run my mouth too but I deliver in that ring and giving your all in a match doesn't mean that you can deliever." Tani smirked as she crossed her arms over one another. "Something that I noticed why you were running your mouth was that you have got me all wrong. I don't give a shit about being popular around here. I'm not worried about my image towards the fans and I'm sure as hell not worried about what my opponents think about me. You think that telling me your life story is going to make me take pity upon you or make you seem like you're real tough, well you're wrong. In my eyes you're nothing. You see me as a hole, a "shell" well I see you as a target. I see you as a stepping stone to the next match. I don't even see you as a person, you're just an obsticale and I'm going to overcome that. I don't care how great you think you are and how much your past has shaped you that doesn't matter to me in the ring AJ what matters to me is getting the job done and I get it done rather nicely. I'm confident in myself AJ and I can tell that you are too but I'm not going to act like you're better than me when I know that it's not true. I'm going to beat you and there really isn't much you can do about it. You can do all you want to talk yourself up cause it's all going to unravel with one simple downfall, my present to you I guess as a welcome of sorts is to give you your first loss. Something that I like to give out often and maybe it's getting old but you're just getting started so I figure you need to learn this sooner rather than later. You aren't anything here in BUD you're just another guy looking to make something of himself and you're going to fail miserably just like all the others have managed to do. On Monday AJ in your first match you'll meet your downfall and it won't be pretty." Tani shook her head. "I love the fact that you called me a skanky ho though AJ that was a clever use of words. Rather ones that validated my point of you having no tact. You should really learn how to research an opponent in order to use words against them. I understand that you don't know who I am so you go ahead and make things up in an attempt to make me look bad but unfortunatly for you kid, people know that your words aren't the truth. I'm sure you'd get a few people that don't like me to agree but sweets you're not going to convince everyone that your lies are the truth. I don't think you have the power to do that in fact and I really don't see you ever having that distict power, or any at that. You are just a little boy in a big world of people that want things and you want it too but you don't have what it takes to get it. I know you don't want to hear that and hell you'll probably cry about that too but that doesn't matter to me. You, as I've stated, don't matter to me. You're just trying to keep up with what I'm dishing and you're not doing all that great of a job because you're searching for things that put me in the wrong light but you can't find any. I'm a person of truth AJ and I don't lie about who I am. If I see something wrong I'm going to point it out and if I know something is wrong with myself then I will admit it but truly there isn't anything wrong with who I am right now and while your "loud mouth" comment might be true it isn't a flaw. I'm an open person and what is really wrong with that? You can't handle the truth about things and you obviously can't even compare with my words towards you but keep trying kid, maybe someday you'll live up to what I am. I'm not icon AJ I'm just good at what I do and I know it, everyone does. I think it's about time you learn that one for yourself." Tani uncrossed her arms scooting herself up towards the edge of the couch getting closer to the camera that sat in front of her. "So don't tell me I have a lot to learn about life because that's so far from the truth. I mean look at you, you look like a fifteen year old boy that trying to be cool by getting his lip peirced and bragging about bands that he listens to, grow up! This is an adult world one that you can't compare to. I don't consider you to be any type of a threat Mr. Vandal just because you act hardcore doesn't mean you are. Hit me with a chair PLEASE! I would love that because then maybe for a split second people would actually think that you had something to offer, of course It still wouldn't convince me. Anyone can pick up a chair and hit someone with it that doesn't take someone with a sick mind and it doesn't take someone that is tough. The contradictions with your words really don't help in that area either, do you even really think about what you're going to say or do you just talk to listen to yourself? Cause really calling me fat and bloated one second and then saying that people see me as beautiful and sexy just makes you look like you don't know what you're talking about. And well I know you don't want anyone to KNOW that you don't have a clue what you're talking about. I can see it though AJ and I know you know that much too. You aren't going to make something of yourself here because I'm going to make sure you know that you don't belong. Cause in all reality you don't. You have that sob story that you probably want to base everything around but trust me, no one cares about it. Your past, my past they really don't matter in this match this match is about who preforms better and you can bet that it will be me sweets cause you don't even know what I can do. I can tell you think the same as most men AJ you think that I don't have what it takes cause you're such a big strong man. That's a load of bull AJ because I can compete with anyone I don't look like much but there is more there than some men have. So keep talking your shit AJ and I'll keep talking mine and when the real match happens you'll learn your place and you'll learn why you should've kept your pathetic little mouth shut." Tani laughed to herself and took in a deep breath letting it out shortly after. "AJ I am going to show you exactly who I am and you're not going to like it all that much. On the outside I look good but when I get into that ring it's a different story. I'll do what I need to do in order to win and you're just going to end up looking like a jackass. It's time for your downfall." Tani had a smug grin on her face as the scene faded to black.

People mentioned: AJ Vandal and Heather Edgeton. Allies/Enemies: Heather Edgeton/none Record: 03/02/00 Out of character comment: I'm having fun with this match, thank you guy The scene opened showing Tani Lyons. She sat in a corner of what looked like a kindergarten class. She held a book on her lap. She smiled at the camera as it focused in on her. She lifted the book that had the title of The Little Boy Who Couldn't. Tani opened up the book and began to read from it. "Once upon a time..there was a boy. His name was AJ and he was a very very ignorant kid. AJ decided that he wanted to be a wrestler but first he had to go to the Queen. The Queen was a thin girl a great wrestler and had everything to offer, unlike the boy. Queen Tani ruled all of the land and did it extremely well. People had tried to conquer the beautiful kingdom that she ruled but there wasn't much left of that bunch. AJ came to the queen one day preaching respect and continually telling stories of his past that had little or no relivance to the reason he was there. So Queen Tani sent the boy away telling him that he couldn't preach respect if he wasn't going to give it and he shouldn't tell stories that would put people to sleep. So the boy returned home and whined to his mother while Queen Tani laughed. This boy didn't give up though because he liked to say that he didn't give up so he went back the next day to the castle of Queen Tani. He talked a lot of crap to Queen Tani about who she was although the boy was VERY off. Then the boy decided to just say random nonsense that must have only made sense in his own mind, something about Total Xtreme Vullshit. So the Queen laughed a little bit not only at the nonsense but at the boys total lack of being able to listen to a word that the queen was saying. Queen Tani seemed to need to repeat herself because this boy, AJ, wasn't exactly understanding what she was saying. He told her to bring her A-game even after she had said she always did. Then he threatened here with using weapons which might just be the only way that he could beat Queen Tani, and although she had said it wouldn't matter whether weapons were used she still wasn't intimidated by the child he still was percistant in threatening her with the use of weapons. By this time it was obvious to all of the villigers that AJ wasn't cut out to be a wrestler and in the end Queen Tani was very right and she remained the Queen and everyone bowed down to her including the boy who couldn't wrestle or talk crap to save his life..Thee End." Tani showed the camera the end page of the storybook. It was an illistration of an extremely beat up Aj Vandal with a very buff looking Tani Lyons standing on top of him looking as if she had "conquered" him. She shut the storybook looking into the camera with a smile. "Does that give you a little idea of what you're dealing with AJ? Cause really I don't think you get it. You see even though I've already made it clear that you don't intimidate me you seem to be just pushing and trying so very hard to make yourself seem like you can really accomplish something "sadistic". Maybe other people would see your little drug problem as something that is intimidating but personally I see that you're weak because of it. It doesn't take a tough person to do drugs AJ it takes a vunerable person. Someone who really doesn't know how to control themselves. Now you've overcome that but that doesn't mean that you've changed. I'm sorry that you've been turned down so many times because you aren't the person you talk yourself up to be but you're not going to get any sympathy from me because you've done stupid things. Because I'm going to take away your little "shot" at stardom. Oh and don't call it attempt sweetheart it's very much going to happen. I don't attempt anything, I accomplish. That's another thing you need to learn about me just add that to the extremely long list that you should have by now." Tani smiled smugly. She then cleared her throat. "Oh and I really loved the part in your little rant about this match between us being the fight of my life cause I hate to break this to you..but you're nothing at all compared to some of my other opponents. Yeah AJ it's true you're not the best person I've faced in that ring and wow if that much wasn't obvious to you then...you're a lot more stupid than I thought which well quite frankly is very stupid. AJ you are extremely focused and I can tell that and that's a good thing because everyone is when they're new in this company. I mean I was, and you get some good things you get some bad things but trust me you aren't going to turn out as well as I did. Then again not a lot of people will. AJ I can tell you one thing good about our match, it's going to be over pretty fast so you don't need to worry about me causing you a lot of pain. Otherwise well...there won't be a lot of good news coming out of that match for you. It's a horrible thing to take in AJ but it's time that you do because you're going to end up looking like a jackass when I not only beat you but make you cry I mean you don't wanna be seen like that do you? Like a little baby? A little girl? Come on that would be the last thing that you'd want right because girls like myself obviously can't wrestle worth a crap? Oh wait..sorry that's wrong." Tani shrugged her shoulders almost to say sorry. "I will leave you with this though AJ, you gave a good talk fight..I'm just going to be sorry when you suck in the ring." Tani shrugged once again shaking her head as the scene faded to black. Tani looked up at Heather Edgeton who was standing behind the camera she smirked Heather began to clap. "Nicely done." "Thank you, I figure that this kid will never understand though so it isn't really worth it until I get a look at his face when I win this match." Heather nodded her head. "Oh I hope that I get a good look at it too I can only imagine the look something like this perhaps." Heather mocked AJ by lowering her forehead and sticking out her bottom lip as she scratched her head. "Wow I never did notice how AJ looked like a gorilla." "How could you not?" Tani shrugged her shoulders and laughed a little as Heather continued to mock AJ. "Alright I get it. This guy doesn't even have the slightest clue on what's good and whats not and he's making a lot of rookie mistakes. It's sad almost that I have to be that person that gives him a rude awakening. At the same time though..I mean I do love the dissapointment I see in people's faces when I win the match." Tani grinned. "I hear that. Now lets get out of here and get some food!" "Sounds good to me." Tani and Heather started towards the door.

People mentioned: AJ Vandal, and Heather Edgeton. Allies/Enemies: Heather Edgeton/none Record: 03/02/00 Out of character comment: blahblahblah thought i'd get another in, cause i'm BORED!! Tani stood in the backstage area of the MGM Grand she pouted her lips and moved her head as the camera snapped pictures for her photoshoot. Tani winked at the camera and smiled. She sprawled her legs out on the small couch that she was getting her pictures taken on. Tani enjoyed doing photoshoots and she loved the way that she looked. She had that confidence to really like what she looked like and not only that but like the way that she performed when she was in the ring. Tani had somewhat of a challenge in front of her on that night against AJ Vandal. This kid was too passionate for his own good and it almost seemed like he was going do just about anything to win and while Tani most of the time had the same outlook on winning she didn't want this kid winning off of a fluke. After all he was just a little rookie. Someone who was lucky just to step foot into the ring with the likes of Tani and someone who had something very different coming to him than he seemed to think. AJ saw that Tani was prepared because she had preached it and somehow that finally got into his pea-sized brain but what AJ didn't know what that Tani had more to her than just pretty looks. Tani could tell him that all day but he wasn't going to believe it until she showed him which Tani would have no trouble doing. She smiled to herself thinking about the match-up of the night. "Tani give me a more pouty sexy look." The photographer's voice rang out inturupting Tani's thoughts. She looked to the photographer and then back towards the camera doing what the man had told her. "See that is perfect thank you darling. You can go get ready for your match now." The photographer winked at Tani as she smiled towards him sitting up on the couch she laid on. She fixed her hair as the people on the set brought her a robe. Tani slipped on the robe getting to her feet. She made her way over to the man that had been taking the pictures. "Sorry if I seemed a little off today James, I have a lesson to teach tonight and I was just trying to think about what the best approach would be." "Right, is that what the camera crew is here for?" Tani looked behind James seeing a large group of people standing there. Tani nodded her head getting a grin across her face. "Oh goodie." Tani laughed a little to herself as she started to walk towards the crew. They had started to set up as Tani aprroached them one of the men stopped. "Miss Lyons we're almost ready if you just wanna take a seat." Tani nodded her head and walked in front of the black screen that stood behind a nice chair. Tani sat down in the chair and made herself comfortable even though the outfit she was wearing was rather revealing underneath the robe. The cameras began rolling and Tani cracked a smile looking straight into the camera. "Oh AJ, how well you do at not listening. You see you think that I see you as a threat but wow you just must have missed the times when I explained to you why you weren't anything even close to that. I figured though that you would get that idea and that's all good all dandy I can't say that I really was surprised to hear that come from your mouth cause I see that you are looking for an opponent that cowars at your feet and runs scared when you threaten them with your "Violence" bullshit that you talk about all of the time. People don't want there time wasted by you talking about the same things over and over again an then continuously talking about Jake Frost. What does that really have to do with our match AJ? Are you just looking to keep me content so that I have nothing to correct you on? Classic, but it won't work. I see right through you AJ and I see someone that is more scared than extreme and that's not something you wanna show to the world and yes you finally were on the verge of admiting that I am in fact better and don't worry I won't make you think any differently because I know that I am, and now that you have got the right idea in your head I'm sure we can run with it." Tani nodded her head seeming to be reasuring everyone. "Now AJ i know you like to talk about that passion factor and I just have to say that you're not the only one that puts things into matches. I am not in this for the money sweets I'm in it because I love this business and I love to wrestle. I wouldn't be true to myself if I went out everyweek and half-assed it. That wouldn't get me anywhere so when you say you put everything into a match don't think that makes you different from each and everyone of the BUD superstars because I'm the exact same way, Drew Stevenson, Heather Edgeton, Stephaine they're all that way you cannot separate yourself with that and you sure as hell can't intimidate me with that because I damn well expect that from my opponents everyweek and that's when you are an absolutly horrible wrestler when you're simply going through the motions in that ring instead of the Emotions. I am different when I get into that ring because when I step into a ring I demand a certain presence. People don't double cross me AJ and that's not just because I'm a bitch, it's because I can hurt you worse than a lot of people and not just in the ring. You'll learn though AJ and I know you're trying to stand out and be something because look at you you're a walking fashion statement and not in the good way, but you want attention you can't just hope for it you have to demand it and that's exactly what i do. You won't be able to get past me or my presence AJ and it sounds odd right now but you'll know exactly what I'm talking about tonight in that very ring. You won't see what's coming to you and you won't be able to believe it afterwards because no one wants to even think about how badly I beat them." Tani shook her head as a vision of gore ran through her head. "Now don't get me wrong AJ I'm not trying to intimidate you in the least I am simply letting you know about something you don't want to believe and I understand that you don't wanna think that you're going to lose your very first match in a place but sometimes that's what you need. I mean you need the experience of loss before you can really appriciate the feeling of winning. I'm just trying to help you out make sure that you're really ready for the business you're stepping into. I know you've probably had some losses in those indie feds but that is nothing to the big time so I can't say I believe you really know what a good loss or a good win is. I'm here to help you feel that more towards the loss area rather than the winning but you'll get one sooner or later depending on your opponent. It's just a shame that I had to be your first match cause you would've won any other way tonight just happens to be more my night then yours. I mean I'm in Vegas havin' a good time and it's just a great feeling to be in a good place fighting a good fight and winning a good win. This night belongs to me AJ and not you and it's rather unfortuanate but something you're going to have to deal with and something that I just have to shell out. You're gonna have to get used to loss when you're going up against me. I am the Queen after all I mean that story I read yesterday said that much and when I get another chance at Dannica you'll see that I am that good, good enough to call myself a queen." Tani grinned. "I was sad when you didn't call me a fat ass though AJ I had grown rather attached to your pathetic attempts at bringing me down. You did make some rather good points in your little interview though like about how you can beat up your best friend...oh damn that didn't apply to me. Wait it was the part about Jake putting on a good show..Oh wow I forgot my name isn't Jake you have me confused though talking so much about him and not a lot about me. Come on AJ I love to hear about myself why can't you seem to satisfy my thrist for that. I mean you're causing me to have to just talk more about myself and well while I'm really amazing at doing that I want to hear what you think. Besides thinking I'm a fatass or that I consider you a threat. I want to hear some truth and I want to really hear that "passion" in your voice. Gimme that much please. I dare you!" Tani points towards the camera and cracks a smirk the scene fades to black.
