Competition has always been a part of who I am.  My father was a very competitive man, my sister is very competitive, and of course I am competitive as well.  That’s why I decided to become a professional wrestler.  I didn’t get into this sport because of the glory, accolades, or to get cheered and praised, though that is certainly a plus.

I damn sure didn’t get involved in this sport for its health benefits.  I suffered a broken freaking neck because of this sport.  My health has definitely suffered and I definitely lost years from my life because of this sport.

No, none of those reasons are the real reason why I got involved in professional wrestling.  I got involved in wrestling, I got involved in this sport, because of the thrill of competition.  I enjoy matching my wits and my mettle against the best this sport has to offer, and for almost a decade I poured my blood, sweat, and tears into this sport, all for the sake of competition.  I stopped for nothing.  Even after the threat of further complicating my neck injuries.

I thought my career had ended due to my neck complications and injuries but here I am, in Supreme Championship Wrestling, standing by my sister’s side once again and once again it’s about competition, it’s about matching our mettle, matching The Sisterhood up against the best SCW has to offer and right now we are about to be matched up against the very best SCW has to offer…

…Donovan Kayl and Simon Lyman, Standing Room Only.

Kayl and Lyman, this will be an honor for us.  It will be an honor for us to compete against you for the world tag team championship and it will be our honor, along with you, to bring a sense of competition back to professional wrestling and to help revitalize tag team wrestling as a whole.

But make no mistake about it, Angelica and I have our eyes set on the prize, we want what you have, and we’re going to do whatever it takes to get it.

Prepare, boys, prepare to have your teeth kicked right down your throat.

“It is nice to have valid competition; it pushes you to do better.” --- Gianni Versace

Giovanni Maria Versace was an Italian fashion designer and founder of Versace, an international fashion house, which produces accessories, fragrances, make-up, and home furnishings as well as clothes.  His company is still widely popular to this very day.

Now Angelica and Kayla Jones do not consider The Jones Wrestling Family to be professional wrestling’s equivalent to Versace.  Far from it.  But they are among the most talented in the sport and they have accomplished a great deal individually in the sport.  No matter what they may think of Angelica and Kayla Jones, other wrestlers as well as the fans themselves all respect the Jones family for what they have done in the sport and for the sport.

So can you argue that The Sisterhood is pro-wrestling’s Versace?  Perhaps, but that really isn’t the point.  The real point is that Angelica and Kayla both agree with Gianni Versace’s opinion on competition.  Competition, according to The Sisterhood, is a good thing, because it pushes them to become even better, it pushes them to become the absolute best.

It’s widely known that Angelica Jones’s drive in the pro-wrestling business is to be the best.  Thus, competition for her is important.  Angelica wants to wrestle the best athletes that the industry can put in front of her so that she can defeat them and prove herself to be the very best in the sport.  And while you may not think about it, even Kayla Jones herself has a strong desire to push herself to be the best.  But Kayla’s drive, unlike her older sister’s, is centered primarily on being the best she can be.

Needless to say, Angelica and Kayla Jones make a great tag team.  Together they have been GDW World Tag Team Champions and GCW Global Tag Team Champions.  But those accolades mean little to nothing in Supreme Championship Wrestling where the two sisters have once again reunited in a quest to win a third tag team championship.  Already they battled Blood Grove to a standstill, they defeated Adrenaline Rush, and now they have been granted the opportunity they have been seeking…

…a chance to become SCW World Tag Team Champions in a match against Simon Lyman and Donovan  Kayl of Standing Room Only.

Competition has always driven the Jones family, competition has always pushed them to better themselves so that they can always remain at the top of the mountain in pro-wrestling, among their other crusades.

Competition has driven Kayla Jones through everything in her life, not just her in-ring career.  Not one to flaunt her wealth, you would have no idea that Kayla Jones is the owner of her own company.  Jones Wrestling Incorporated is a small company that focuses primarily on wrestling, specifically Kayla’s managerial career being the agent of several pro-wrestlers in the industry, but also has a small wing that focuses on modeling.

This is what brings the younger member of The Sisterhood back to Boston, Massachusetts, over a week before Under Attack, where she and Angelica Jones will challenge for the SCW World Tag Team Championships.

The clicking of her black high heeled pumps echoes as she walks the plain off white halls with brown oak laminate floor.  A cell phone is pressed to her ear.  The red head is wearing a stunning long sleeve three-button metallic jacket and a pencil silhouette lace skirt that s tops just at the knee.  Her long red hair hangs down straight and unrestrained to just below her shoulders.

“You are kidding me?!”

Jones is clearly upset as she continues her match down this hall in this rather small building in Boston, Massachusetts.  This corporation of Kayla’s is still quite small and cannot afford much.  This building itself is two stories and does the job Kayla needs it to do.  Barely any furniture has been moved in and she has hired only person to assist her; a secretarial assistant named Lizzie James.  It is a small, humble start to a company, but Kayla is determined to not only make it work but to make it a powerhouse.  The spirit of competition that lives within her and drives her wouldn’t have it any other way.

“Are you sure that’s what the contract says?”

The red head gets to the end of the hall and pushes open a door marked “Kayla Jones”.  She steps inside and lets the door shut behind her.  She turns and starts to head towards her large wooden oak desk but sitting there in the comfortable black leather rolling chair is her older sister, Angelica Jones, wearing denim jeans, flip flops, and a black “SCW” t-shirt.  Her long red hair is pulled into a ponytail in the back.

“Hi, sis!”

Angelica waves playfully but Kayla isn’t too pleased right now, not with the bad news she’s receiving on the phone.  She holds a hand up to Angelica, signaling her to be quiet as she finishes talking on the phone.

“Fine, I guess that leaves me with one alternative.”

Angelica furrows her brow as she listens intently to what Kayla is saying, trying to figure things out.

“Yeah, bye.”

Kayla hangs up her cell phone and frustratingly drops it onto the cushion of a nearby chair.  Kayla walks over to her desk, where Angelica is seated, and glares at her.

“If you don’t mind…”

“Actually I do.” Angelica says with a sheepish grin.

“Actually, I don’t care.”

Angelica shrugs her shoulders as she gets up out of the chair.  Kayla walks over and sits down in the black leather chair at her desk.  Angelica meanwhile goes to the other chair in the room and sits down.  Upon sitting she quickly realizes she is sitting on her sister’s cell phone.  She takes the phone and tosses it to Kayla who easily catches it and places it down upon the desk.

“Thanks…”

Kayla’s voice trails off and illustrates the frustration she is feeling right now.  Angelica tilts her head to one side as she studies her out of concern.

“Are you ok?”

“Not exactly.”

“What happened?”

Kayla places her hands together and then sighs as she rests her head in her hands.

“I may have lost a client.”

“Who?”

“Allison Lorraine.” Kayla answers back. “She agreed to a match against Marie in which she’d join Ginger Nation if she lost…and of course Allison lost.”

“Marie?  As in my daughter?”

Kayla nods her head lightly. “That’s the one.”

“Marie is a damn good wrestler.  Allison should have never agreed to that match.”

“I know and I told her this but she wouldn’t listen to me.”

Angelica frowns. “You could have just stopped her.”

“I know I could have, and maybe I should have, but that’s not the way I do things.  I don’t want to throw my weight around and force my clients to bend to my will.  I’m not Silas Mason.”

“Maybe you should have been.” Angelica retorts. “You wouldn’t have lost Allison.”

“I may not have lost her.” Kayla says hopefully. “I can talk to Marie and find out what her plans are for Allison.”

“Good luck with that.” Angelica says with a smirk on her face.

“Yeah, thanks….”

Kayla’s voice again trails off as she thinks about the prospects of talking to Marie Annabelle Jones, her niece and Angelica’s oldest daughter.  Marie is very talented but she inherited a great many of the bad personality traits from her mother.  She can be very hard to deal with at times and that is why Kayla does not look forward to dealing with her.

“Look, sis,” Angelica says as she begins to try to cheer Kayla up “all isn’t lost.”

“I know, I know,” Kayla says nodding “I still have Hayley Gold and Gabriela Austin, the GCW World Tag Team Champions, as well as the modeling wing of the company.”

Angelica shakes her head vehemently. “That’s not what I mean.”

The elder Jones stands up and makes the famous title belt motion around her waist.

“SCW World Tag Team Championships!”

Angelica walks over to the side of Kayla’s oak desk.  She snatches her sister by the hands and jerks her up to her feet so that they are eye to eye.  Kayla grins.

“What exactly do you have in mind?”

What did Angelica have in mind, exactly?  Training.

The sounds of a female grunting as well the echoes of feet against a heavy bag are heard throughout an empty gymnasium on the outskirts of Boston, Massachusetts.  The concrete floor is gray and the walls are painted an off-white color, at least the walls that still have paint on them, as most of the paint on the walls have begun to peel.  There is a standard wrestling set up in the center, weights scattered all over the floor.  At one of the far ends of the room is a red heavy bag.  The lovely Kayla Jones is standing there at the heavy bag dressed in a pair of workout shorts, black tanktop, and her long red hair pulled into a ponytail in the back, as she viciously attacks the heavy bag with her well-educated feet.  Nearby Angelica Jones, the elder of the two Jones sisters, is doing sit-ups.  She is wearing a pair of black adidas windpants and a plain white t-shirt with tennis shoes.  Her hair is also pulled into a ponytail in the back.

Angelica has been going to war in SCW for quite awhile now and knows to expect anything and to prepare for anything.  Angelica knows about the level of competition in SCW; easily the best competition she’s ever had to deal with.  Kayla, on the other hand, only recently returned to in-ring action. The younger sibling has had two matches since her SCW debut; a match with Angelica against Blood Grove, another one against Adrenaline Rush, and now this one coming up at Under Attack against Simon Lyman and Donovan Kayl, better known as Standing Room Only.

It really has been quite the whirlwind ride for Kayla Jones.  So soon after making her in-ring return she’s already competing for the SCW World Tag Team Championships at a major pay per view offering.  Kayla knows that she and Angelica will be in for a tough fight.  It’s been a long time coming for the Jones sisters, but now they are on their way to potentially becoming SCW World Tag Team Champions.

“997…998…999…1,000!”

Angelica hops up off of the floor, reaching over and snatching her white towel before she does so.  Angelica wipes the sweat from her brow.  Her sister Kayla snickers as she continues kicking hard at the heavy bag.

“What’s so funny?” Angelica asks.

“One thousand sit ups, sis?”

“Of course.  That’s normal for me.”

Kayla ceases striking the bag.  She places her hands on her hips and stares at Angelica suspiciously.

“You’re lying.”

Angelica smiles knowingly. “Ok, fine…you got me…I only did one hundred.”

Kayla rolls her eyes and then resumes striking the heavy bag. “Riiiiight.”

“I’m serious!”

“Of course you are.”

Angelica steps in front of the bag. “I’m just glad you and I have made it.”

“Made it?” Kayla asks inquisitively. “You won your first title back in 2003.  I won my first before that.”

“No, no, no,” Kayla shakes her head “I mean as a tag team.”

“Yeah, well we did that three years ago.”

“Yeah, but you…”

Angelica’s voice trails off.  Kayla stops striking the bag again and stares at Angelica.

“Just stop.”

“Huh?”

Kayla shakes her head. “I know where you’re going and I don’t want to hear any of it.  Just because I have a bum neck doesn’t make me any special and it doesn’t make this any more special than it already is.  I’m just doing what any other athlete, what any other competitor would do in my situation.”

“Yeah, but no one thought you would ever compete again.” Angelica smiles warmly. “Yet here you are…”

“Here WE are,” Kayla corrects her “we are here heading into Under Attack to wrestle for the SCW World Tag Team Championships.  Not just me, not just you.  Us…The Sisterhood.”

Moonlight shines down upon the SAP Center in San Jose, California.  The moonlight is the only light that we get.  We cut from the outside to the inside and we find that it is worse inside, as darkness envelopes the insides of this arena that will, very shortly, host SCW Under Attack.  Thousands upon thousands of seats that number close to eighteen or nineteen thousand, seats on ground level that lead all the way up to balcony and nose bleed section seats, all encircle what appears to be a wrestling ring set up in the center where a lone singular spotlight shines down, creating the only light in this arena at the present moment.

“Welcome to San Jose, California…”

The camera begins to zoom in, getting a closer and closer look at the wrestling ring.  As our camera view begins to come in clearer and clearer, closer and closer, we begin to notice that two figures are standing in the center of this wrestling ring.

“…this great city and this great arena, also nicknamed the Shark Tank, is going to host SCW’s next pay per view offering, Under Attack…”

Our view gets closer and closer until eventually we can see that this is Angelica Jones and Kayla Jones, better known as The Sisterhood, the number one contenders to the SCW World Tag Team Championships.  And to say that they are dressed to kill would be an understatement…

Angelica Jones, the eldest of the Jones sisters, is wearing an elegant knee length purple short lace dress that features a sleek form fitting silhouette with a scalloped edge on the V-neckline and sheer long sleeves.  A sprinkle of sequins are scattered throughout to add just the right touch of sparkle.  The younger sibling is wearing a figure-flattering short lace dress that features a sheer mesh insert that accentuates her trim waistline.  The sheer hemline on the hip-skimming pencil skirt adds to the glamor and a delicate sheer lace covers the romantic cutout back.  Both women are wearing black high heeled sandals.

“…and right here in The Shark Tank…”

“Wait, Shark Tank?” Angelica pipes in, interrupting Kayla. “You mean like the TV show?”

Kayla shakes her head. “No, nothing like the TV show.”

Angelica snaps her fingers out of disappointment. “Darn, and I was hoping to meet Mark Cuban.”

The younger Jones rolls her eyes. “Riiiiight…anyway, right here in the Shark Tank, SCW will bring to you live Under Attack, where we will witness not just a revival or a mere revitalization, but a true showcase of tag team wrestling.”

Kayla holds up five fingers from her right hand. “Five…that’s right, count ‘em, FIVE tag team matches on Under Attack, all with registered teams!”

“So says, SCW.”

Kayla shoots her older sister a curious glare. “You DID read the Under Attack card, right?”

Angelica nods. “Yup!”

Kayla sighs out of frustration. “Yeah, anyway, five tag team matches and the piece de resistance is going to be when The Sisterhood steps into the ring!”

“HEY!”

“What’s wrong?” Kayla asks.

“I’m supposed to be the arrogant one!” Angelica says, pretending to pout.

“Fine then,” Kayla motions to the camera “go ahead and brag.”

“Thanks, sis!” Angelica turns to face the camera and grins. “As my sister was saying, this is about me and Kayla, this is about The Sisterhood.  Nearly three years ago we came together, we tag teamed together for the first time and we took the tag team world by storm becoming the GDW World Tag Team Champions.  Three years later we reunited and again we took the world by storm, becoming GCW Global Tag Team Champions, battling Blood Grove to a standstill, and then came Adrenaline Rush…”

Angelica chuckles lightly. “Tucker, Thomas, you boys gave us a good fight, but quite frankly, we were better.  You did your best but your best wasn’t good enough.  Now you’re out of luck and me and my sister are a date with destiny.  We are now on a date with the SCW World Tag Team Champions Donovan Kayl and Simon Lyman.”

Kayla’s face contorts. “Date?”

“Not THAT kind of date, sis.”

“Oh…”

Angelica grins. “That’s right, boys, you two are next up on the list and this time the stakes are higher for The Sisterhood, because we want to walk away with those belts of yours.”

“This match is going to be epic for a great many reasons,” Kayla begins “not just because this is tag team wrestling renewed, but also because this is our opportunity, our as in an opportunity for The Sisterhood AND Standing Room Only, to have a match that is driven by  competition alone and not by hate.”

“I still think matches not driven by hate are boring.”

“Shut up.”

Angelica olds her arms over her chest. “Fine.”

“As I was saying, this match is driven by competition and not by hate.  This is about two tag teams, two of the best tag teams in Supreme Championship Wrestling, fighting to see who is the best tag team in the company.”

Kayla points a finger at the camera. “Right now, you are the best because you hold the tag team championships, but there’s a little something about me and Angelica, a little something called motivation and that motivation is the drive to be the best.  We want to be the best, we have to be the best, and right now, to be the best we have to defeat Standing Room Only.”

“And we take that challenge extremely seriously.” Angelica chimes in. “Three years ago Kayla and I started this journey, three years ago we set out to prove that she and I, The Sisterhood, were the best tag team in professional wrestling, and now at Under Attack we have the opportunity to prove it.”

“Our reunion tour began three years ago,” Kayla begins “and it all comes to a head right here in San Jose, California at Under Attack.  The reunion tour is going to be completed at Under Attack when The Sisterhood faces Standing Room Only, when we kick your teeth, right down your throat!”

My sister and I have spoken of competition, but competition means different things to both of us.  Kayla just wants to strive to be the best she can be and that’s good for her.  But for me it’s different.  For me, competition means something different.

I have to be the best at what I do, whether it’s one on one, or tag team, standard match or hardcore, it doesn’t matter what situation SCW puts me in, I have to know that I am the best, not just in this company but in the whole damn sport.  So needless to say, I find myself even m ore motivated than before when I find myself in a situation where I have to face off against someone who is supposedly better than me.

Donovan Kayl and Simon Lyman, as of right now you are THE best tag team in Supreme Championship Wrestling.  Right now you are supposedly better than every tag team  in this company and every tag team includes The Sisterhood.

That’s where you and I have a problem.

I am motivated to compete, yes, but my competitive drive is about proving myself to be better than everyone else and I am not going t o just sit around and let you two walk around with the SCW World Tag Team Championship belts because I firmly believe that those belts belong to us…

…it’s just a matter of taking them from you.

At Under Attack, The Sisterhood will take the SCW World Tag Team Championships, we will take our spot as the best tag team in the industry today, and we will take a victory from you.
