My name is Gaia Galanos, formerly known as The Goddess Among Mortals, best known as the UWL World Champion. Tonight, I find myself all the way across the country from where my usual stomping grounds are in Malibu, California. You could say, I am in enemy territory, Miami, Florida. As I was sitting in the locker room that was specifically called for by UWL’s head, Kevin Hill, to be set up just for me, I could feel the butterflies in my stomach. Those all-too-familiar butterflies which always fluttered about and attacked my stomach before any match despite the size of venue I was competing in.
It seemed as though I was waiting for longer than normal for the cameraman to appear so I could cut my promo prior to the beginning of WMW’s flagship show, Friday Night Carnage. That could have only been due to the fact that I was a stranger in strange lands. After what seemed like an eternity, I heard a knock at the door as my blue eyes were locked on the UWL World Championship belt which was stretched out across the coffee table which had been set up in front of the couch I was sitting upon. Without looking up, I sounded off loud enough to be heard in my greek-accented voice.
GAIA GALANOS: “Enter.”
Almost immediately, I could hear the door open and footsteps while a figure appeared in my peripherals. My eyes remained on my title as the apparent cameraman took his position across from me. Without having to turn my glance up toward him, I could see his fingers giving me the countdown from three… two… one. A finger pointed toward me, giving me the signal to begin.
GAIA GALANOS: “For nearly a year, Girl Power Wrestling has represented the best the world has to offer in all-female professional wrestling. We have single-handedly shown that professional wrestling is not just a man’s sport, and I daresay that any one of the woman that I fight in the ring or alongside of in the ring could take on the very best male athletes in this sport.”
Abruptly, I finally brought my gaze up to look straight into the camera’s lens, at once, freezing the camera with the glare of my icy blues.
GAIA GALANOS: “I am Gaia Galanos, the UWL World Champion. Over the past year, I have been nothing short of dominant whether I was competing in a GPW ring or a UWL ring. For me, professional wrestling is my livelihood. A livelihood full of tradition. Tradition that I see spat on week in and week out. Everyone in WMW will soon find out that I will not sit idly by while such atrocities take place. Now, putting the proverbial doom and gloom aside, I am here for one reason… to compete. I did not become the UWL World Champion by sucking up to staff or anything of the sort… and if anyone in WMW ever expects to even so much as get a shot at my title, they will have to prove themselves worthy of being a contender. Tonight, however, is not about contendership. It is about the valor of battle and just pure competition.”
I reached out and clutched the UWL World Championship’s leather strap in my hand as I stood up to my complete 6-foot stature prior to draping it over my muscular shoulder.
GAIA GALANOS: “Tonight, I face off against one of the contenders to the Women’s World Championship. Despite the fact that she is behind in the series of matches between herself and Scarlet Flint for the title, Nicki Vaughn has proven herself a worthy competitor based on what I have seen. But, Nicki…”
Naturally, I added a pause in for dramatic effect.
GAIA GALANOS: “I am not just some contender trying to prove myself. I have proven myself multiple times so, tonight, it is you who will be having to prove yourself to me, but try as you may, despite me being from Girl Power Wrestling, that ring has now become my ring. And, in my ring, you will find out that I am not all hype, but rather quite the opposite, I am a legend come to life, and that arena is my home…”
“Nicki, tonight in the main event… This is Sparta.”
Before the cameraman could even inform me that he was finished rolling, I walked off through the threshold of the door of my personal locker room. WMW is apart of my domain after all since it is apart of the United Wrestling League. It was time to make my rounds prior to the show beginning tonight...
