The Curtain Opens...(o2Roses)

[tortura]

The reggaeton reminx of "La Tortura" by Shakira y Alejandro Sans begins to play, during one of APW's house shows. The fans cheer in anticipation of finally seeing the newest addition of the Rose division make her APW Debut.

Marisol Mariposa steps out from the set, smiling and waving to the fans. She looks stunning...wearing a one piece pink dress to the event, ever the symbol of elegance.


She blows kisses to the fans as she makes her way to the ring, stepping in slowly. As she enters one of the crew hands her a microphone. She smiles...continuing to wave to crowd as she waits for the cheers to die down a bit. Mari then once more caresses her cherished pendant, and begins to speak.

[glow=ffcc00,2,300]Hola, soy Marisol Mariposa. Estoy aquí en APW debido a una cosa y una cosa solamente. Orgullo. El orgullo de la familia… el orgullo de mi padre, hombre que se conoce en mi patria y a través hacia fuera del mundo como uno de los pioneros del deporte.

Viví una vida encantada. Muchos de ti pueden reconocerme de los compartimientos y de las demostraciones de la manera. Mi tiempo como modelo era un rato asombroso de hecho, uno que acariciaré siempre, pero ahora es hora para un nuevo capítulo de comenzar. Una nueva historia que se dirá. Una promesa de guardar. Hice esa promesa a mi papa, a un día llevo la herencia del nombre de Cardinale como él hizo hace años.

No fallaré.

Comienza en la Full Throttle llena, Febrero 10, 2007. ¿La única pregunta es quién? ¿Cuál una de las rosas de APW caminará en el anillo con mí? ¿Quién será mi primer desafiador? Descubramos…[/glow]

(translation)

Hello, I'm Marisol Mariposa. I am here in APW because of one thing and one thing alone. Pride. The pride of family...the pride of my father, a man who is known in my homeland and through out the world as one of the pioneers of the sport.

I lived a charmed life. Many of you may recognize me from magazines and fashion shows. My time as a model was an amazing time indeed, one that I will always cherish, but now it is time for a new chapter to begin. A new story to be told. A promise to keep. I made that promise to my papa, to one day carry the legacy of the Cardinale name as he did years ago.

I won't fail.

It begin at Full Throttle, Febuary 10th, 2007. The only question is who? Which one of the APW Roses will step into the ring with me? Who will be my first challenger? Let's find out...

She continues now in English...

[glow=ffcc00,2,300]Many look at me, and they say...she doesn't belong here. She's just another piece of T&A trying to be the next big thing...well...you are right! I am here to be the best, I've come to carry the legacy of the Cardinale name, a name that all those in Columbia know and respect in this business...and soon, alll those in the world will also.

I am T&A, amores...

iTécnica y Agresión!

And I will not rest until I am at the top of the Rose division! Heck, why stop there...all of Action Packed Wrestling!!! So, who will be my first opponent at Full Throttle? Who?[/glow]

She lowers her mic and waits for someone to step up to the ring.

[heat]

Fergalicious hits the PA, and Heather Fierhart steps out onto the stage. She takes a long look at Marisol before speaking...

[glow=pink,2,300]Marisol Mariposa. What more can I say but, WOW. I mean, I've heard rumors about you making a sudden jump into wrestling, but who'd have thunk it to be true. While I WOULD be impressed by this, seeing as well, we do come from the same stock. What I DO see is...and pardon me for being so forthright aboy this...an Imitation. Yea I know, I STARTED out a wrestler and then went into modeling. You on the other hand, seemed to have done the opposite. Which is indeed a bold move, but you see, I've got a mission here in APW. In the 9 months i've been away from wrestling, the industry seems to have written me off. What they fail to realize, and all the OTHER chicks backstage fail to see as well, is that I'm a Fierhart. Wrestling is in my blood. I showed the world that I've NOT lost my touch by beating 1 of easily the best female wrestlers today in Nicole Storm, which just goes to show you I'm not all talk. So don't worry, Marisol. You don't have to look far for your 1st opponent. She's standing right...here. You and me, saturday night. Sounds like a plan, doesn't it???[/glow]

Heather lowers her mic awaiting Mari's reply.

[tortura]

After a heavy bit of howling and hooting dissipates as the statuesque blonde finishes her speech...Mari looks around to the fans a bit. More howling...the guys are just eating this up. Two of the most beautiful women in the world...setting up a wrestling match!?

[glow=ffcc00,2,300]You are right, Heather. I am an imitation. I, much like you...grew up learning about this business from an early age from mi papa. I too have become a household name outside of this business, but from the same stock, you say? No mami, I don't think so.

The difference between you and me...is that I'm not here just to look good. I'm here because I want to be the absolute best. I'm not resting on my family heritage to get me over...I will let my skill do that for me! You will be the first then, Heather...and not soon the last to learn that this butterfly will soar to heights you could'nt possibly imagine!

I think that is something that you have forgotten. You've been living a charmed life of your own, haven't you? Yes...you defeated a great wrestler at Battlezone, a woman who has earned every bit of reputation she has...and in that you gain respect from everyone, even those who would not say it aloud. And why? Becuase it's what happens here and now that counts. Here...and now, and with me saying that, I say this...

iTe veré en el anillo! (I'll see you in the ring!)[/glow]
