Selena Frost (and Partner?) vs. The European Fiery Nation

[SnowQueenSCW]

The Royal Letter

The camera opens up to reveal the Snow Queen, Selena Frost, sitting in her dark-green throne chair. She wears a black pantsuit and has one leg crossed over the other. Her hair is in its iconic braid and her eyes stare daggers into the camera.

Well, well... surprised to see me?

I’m guessing that no one here believed I’d be showing up after SCW thought it ‘so smart’ to keep their ‘Face’ off the pay-per-view. You know, nothing really gnaws at you like seeing the people you’ve beaten time and time again, people you’ve proven to be better than time and time again, get a spot on the card but you? Oh, you! the bitter grin on her face is not hidden.

It seems to me that SCW management has a new way of dealing with me. It seems that the supposed strategy is to make up ‘tasks’ for me to accomplish to get what I deserve and what I am owed.

For example, they want me to ‘earn’ my shot at the SCW World Championship... yet they don’t say how. By winning matches? Hmmm... last I checked, I have been undefeated since the start of this season – and seeing as how Glory Braddock was all hot air and bluff who couldn’t deliver when it mattered most – surprising no one, it stands to reason the person ‘winning’ should be next, or at least once all this stupidity with ‘Hair Trigger Evans’ makes like his old teacher, Hudson, and blows his ‘called shot’ in December.

She rolls her eyes annoyingly at the idea. But back to management – it seems that Dean Black, rather than be his own man and be someone of integrity and standard, seems to be little more than CHBK’s parrot while the old man is not here – repeating the same crap Alex kept saying about ‘earning things’. And while I could burn a whole ten pages just talking about the hypocrisy of that – saying I need to ‘earn everything’ while they were handing Konrad the chamber match he wanted and putting Xander in it just because Xander wanted it and was ‘bored’ – I’ll save myself the headache and move on.

Because it doesn’t end there, oh no! Because I’ve also been after The Glimmer Sisters after their continued disrespect towards me and getting involved in my business. Now you would THINK that after I had to deal with Chris Lawler – who got a match with me simply by sucker-punching me – after I dealt with Dante Slayton, who got a match with me just because his Shinigami pal ran his mouth against me... you would THINK that a match with The Glimmer Sisters, after they did both with cheap attacks and mouthing off at me – you would think that I’d get what I want and deal with them, right? That would be the FAIR thing to do after all I went through, right?

A bitter laugh comes from the Snow Queen. Oh no, SCW Universe! I forgot for a second who I was talking about! What does ‘fair’ have to do with anything? This is ‘Selena Can’t Win’ now! This is what S-C-W stands for now! Braddock can win six or seven matches in a row and get a world title shot because of it but Selena Frost, who went SIX MONTHS undefeated, doesn’t get shit! Lawler and Dante can get a match with Selena if they want just but showing their faces or getting in a cheap-shot, but Selena can’t get the matches she wants! Oh no! Cause just like with the world title picture, it seems the ONLY way I can get The Glimmer Sisters – the only way I can humble those little brats - is if I ‘find a partner’!

Annoyed, Selena nods her head mockingly. Right! Because there’s no such thing as a ‘handicap match’, right? And there’s no way I could just face them one-on-one, right? SCW has NEVER done something like that before! Oh wait! I’m basically in one coming into Breakdown!

An irritated huff escapes the platinum-blonde and she takes a moment to look past the camera, take a breath to collect her thoughts, before resuming.

Does it bother any of you that I’ve been right this whole time? I told you all the ones running this show were corrupt! I told you all that they were playing favourites! I told you all they had a vendetta against me because they can’t stand that I am ‘The Face of SCW’ and none of them ever were! I mean, how much more obvious can we get here?! How much more needs to be spelled out for all of you before you finally get on board – until you finally believe it?!

She shakes her head in disbelief. Everything I’ve been saying! About the state of this place? Where it’s going? The standard dropping? It’s plain as day and I seem to be the only person that gives enough of a shit to speak up and do something about it! The only person that wants the best there is to rise to the top rather than management protecting the ‘mediocre’ and the ‘monthly flavours’! But I’ll leave that for the head investor to speak on should he choose to...

Because, like I said, I’ve got a nice, little handicap match set up for Breakdown that I need to focus on. And Black and his ‘team’ know it’s a handicap match because of how ‘lovely’ they put together that graphic on the card. “And Partner?”. Pffft... Not very creative – since the bar’s been lowered, they could have at least put in a yeti, or an abominable snowman, or, hell, since they’re dumb enough to let the world champion talk on TV, put Olaf on there and give the Disney-lawyers a bit more of a paycheck.

But, yes, I say this is a handicap match because – honestly – I don’t have a partner. I know it. They know it – that’s why they promoted it like this – and I am certain Dakon and Ludvig – the Dumber and Dumber of SCW can still figure it out.

A cold grin forms on her features as Selena tilts her head. Yes, turns out that, instead of the big names like Oskar and Kemal, I’m getting the ‘Sidekick Edition’ of EFN. Well, let me start by saying to you both – Welcome to the top of the card, boys! Yes, you’re welcome, by the way! Finally get your names on the main-event of the night and you have me to thank for that. Well, me and, perhaps, a certain main-investor, but, let’s face it, you’re both here because of me and you both know it.

But don’t be upset about that. It’s also because of me that, for the first time in your abysmal SCW-careers, you’re going to be loved! You’re going to be cheered! You’re going to be adored! Because Black and CHBK? The SCW Universe? They want this. They want to see me punished or humbled or just ‘taken down a peg’. They’re tired of me being the thorn in their side, reminding them all of their ineptitude, their hypocrisy, and their blatant bias. So they think a little ‘not-so-subtle handicap match’ will be just what I need to get me in line...

Selena chuckles darkly. Because that’s been my thing, right? Staying in line? Simply obeying people, right? That’s what Selena Frost is known for... she tilts her head. Quick question:

SINCE WHEN?!

Am I supposed to be intimidated by this? Two violence-loving maniacs that would delight in tearing me apart, staining the ring with my blood, all while making as many ‘snow’ and ‘frosty’ one-liners as their underdeveloped brains could create? Am I supposed to scour the locker-room, begging anyone and everyone to be my partner and make this a ‘fair’ fight? Am I supposed to show up at Dean Black’s door, tail between my legs, and apologize and beg him to show mercy and understanding?

Sapphire-eyes narrow darkly. Not in a million years...

You see... what Dean and, I imagine, the two of you, Ludvig and Dakon, seem to be forgetting is... this is where I thrive! Are you kidding? You’ve all backed me into a corner! Not just politically with these ‘conditionals’ to get what I desire, what I deserve – conditionals no one else seems to need to get what they want – but also LITERALLY now! You’ve put me in a situation of facing two very dangerous men while being the most hated superstar in SCW – meaning this can’t be anything but a 2-on-1 as who in their right mind would team with me...

Another dark chuckle leaves the Snow Queen. And yet... she smiles darkly. You both need to ask yourselves a simple question, boys... what is that feeling deep in the pit of your stomachs?

What is that feeling that makes even you think something seems a little ‘off’ about this? Is it deja-vu? Like when you were used as a stepping stone for my Deanna to proves she could still go in the ring? Or maybe you could wonder if, perhaps, I DO have a partner and I am just lying here – waiting to spring it on all of you. Or maybe I am bluffing about that and this IS a handicap match – but then how can I stay so arrogant and confident knowing I am about to face two fiends such as yourselves? Unless...

Unless I don’t need a tag-team partner. Heh heh...

Knowingly, Selena’s grin widens. Yes, you two have been the part of a solid goon-squad for Konrad Raab, flexing and stomping your way around here, making a whole light of noise but, now? Your boss isn’t here. And for all of that... you’re not really the epitome of tag-team wrestling, are you? Not really much in the way of accolades, are you? Don’t worry, your boss, Konrad, closed out his career to race cars with his last title-reign lasting five or six days, but if that’s the pinnacle of EFN, then you guys are here tonight for just one reason:

To punish me. To hurt me.

But seeing as how you’re both keen on that with your love of violence, let me ask you: what happens when you corner a beast? What happens when you give a person no other way to go but towards the very danger that surrounds it?

The grins becomes more predatory – more wolf-like. You starting to get it, boys? I’m not trapped in a match with you... you BOTH are trapped in a match with me. Because this, to me, is beyond perfect. Because whatever happens to you both? Whatever I do to you? Well, that will be on Dean Black’s and CHBK’s head! Whatever I have to do to take you both down? You’ll have THEM to thank for it! Because defeating you emphatically – not just slipping by, not just sneaking out a win, oh no! – beating you both to the shock of all SCW?!

That will be louder than any words I can say and any letter I can write or record! Because if I can beat you – when I DO beat you both – then what will that say about me? If actions, do indeed, speak louder than words, then what will that say about my decree that I don’t need a partner to take down a tag-team?

I’ll tell you, boys, and I’ll use words you both can understand. It will mean that I am right. It will mean that Black and CHBK are wrong and it will mean that there is NO reason or excuse for them to deny me The Glimmer Sisters! If I take on a tag-team twice their size, strength, speed and power... and I win?

A knowing chuckle escapes her. That will be when you see true fear, boys, but it won’t be on my face! It will be on the face of Dean Black, on the face of CHBK as he lies there in the hospital still recovering, and it will be on the face of the SCW World Tag-team Champions as they realize the monster that is coming for them!

Lifting her hand, Selena rests her head on it, her knowing smile unfading. But you’ll get to see that monster first, boys. You’ll get to see that monster first as I show you the real reason your boss, Konrad, could never defeat me. Why EFN has NEVER truly beaten a Frost. And why, not only don’t I need a tag-team partner, but I don’t need ANYONE to be the ‘Face of SCW’ and the best wrestler in the damn world!

And after I’m done with you – after I beat you both and have my arm raised by Demitria and proclaimed the winner? After I send you back down to the bottom of the card and even lower on the tag-team division, I’m going to say three little words. Three words for all of SCW to hear...

She leans forward, glaring daggers at the camera. Told you so.

And Ludvig? Dakon? No one – not you, not management, not CHBK, not Dean, not Cid Turner, not the Glimmers, not even the SCW Universe... There won’t be a single person in the entire world that won’t be able to believe it!

The camera slowly fades on Selena as she sits back in her throne, her predatory wolf-grin present as the scene fades to black.
