PWP 10: Nothing Like The First Time - Melissa vs. Teagan Cavenagh

1 RP Max. 300 word minimum. Deadline is July 16th at 11:59 PM Eastern.

It was November 6th of the year two thousand thirteen when the young twin of the Black family known as Melissa made her in ring debut. She was a newbie, a rookie to the business as well as naïve. She was on a team with her then friend and a man known as Dorn, they defeated three icons by the names of “Pretty” Ricky Stanton, Andy Titsuhiro and Melissa’s occasional play thing Vicky Stone

Oh how times change.

Back then Melissa was the evil one, used and manipulated by the GM-Pire and their cronies but now? Now she was in a war against the personification of evil, a team of ex-asylum inmates who actually called themselves The Asylum. Ten out of ten for originality. It had been a tough war, Melissa had lost her Overload! Championship during the rivalry not once but twice. She was also betrayed by that little baby bitch Micah who had clearly been even more corrupted by his mommy than once thought.

It had been a rough few months battling freaks, monsters and weirdoes so Melissa was relieved to venture away from the Universal Wrestling Federation for the first time in her career to join the Professional Wrestling Project. Melissa and Teagan had both scouted numerous companies away from the UWF but none appealed to them quite like PWP, it was laid back, relaxed and free of stress

Just what they both needed after all the recent goings on with The Asylum

Their debut match would be at PWP 10: Nothing Like A First time but instead of teaming up as Teagan Melissa Inc, T.M.I., they would be going one on one with each other for the first time ever, something that the girls were very much looking forward to. Melissa was also personally looking forward to her first ever PWP interview which was to be conducted by PWP’s very own backstage interviewer Roxie McCright.

This interview would not be taking place backstage though, no, it would be taking place inside the mobile home of Melissa, namely her FAB Party Bus. Melissa had invited her new colleague to conduct the interview on the bus, which was unusually quiet and empty but still had plenty of booze on board. Roxie stepped on to the bus, not quite knowing what to make of it all

[MEL] Welcome to my humble abode Miss McCright! Come on in and take a seat!

Roxie McCright had no intentions of making this a sit down interview but it seemed that her interviewee Melissa had different plans. Roxie wasn’t gonna argue, she took a seat on the rather comfy couch as Melissa poured herself and Roxie a drink. The newest PWP star then took a seat opposite Roxie.

[ROXIE] First of all Melissa I’d like to welcome you to the Professional Wrestling Project, we are very happy to have you here

[MEL] I’m very happy to be here, feels great to wonder away from home once in a while

[ROXIE] Of course by home you mean the Universal Wrestling Federation, the Professional Wrestling Project’s latest affiliate. What was it that made you decide to venture away from the UWF in the first place?

[MEL] Well Roxie, life in the UWF is pretty hectic right now for me. I got eight, count ‘em eight freaks after me and that’s just at the moment. That group seem to get bigger and bigger by the week and not a single one of them like me, so yeah, I got a cast of eight freaks after me, Teagan and my family… I needed a break from all of that, I needed to be away from those Asylum monsters. Sure, they’re very involved in my life, they seem to follow me where ever I go in the UWF but this isn’t the UWF Roxie this is PWP and I’m free from the stresses and annoyances of the UWF, in fact, I think I’ll drink to that!

Melissa picked up her glass and held it in the air, Roxie getting caught up in the moment does the same and clanks her glass with Mel’s before taking a drink and putting the glass back down on the table in front of them

[ROXIE] Well in your PWP debut you go head to head for the first time ever with your best friend and tag team partner…

[MEL] And girlfriend

[ROXIE] And girlfriend Teagan…

[MEL] Princess Teagan!

[ROXIE] Sorry, Princess Teagan Cavenagh. Now as we said and as with the shows theme this is the first time that you two will have ever faced off in a singles match or any other match for that matter. Why is it that you both requested to face each other in your PWP debuts rather than team up as T.M.I.?

This was a question that Melissa had been asked a lot ever since the PWP match was announced. She sat back on the sofa, putting her hands behind her head as she shot a smile at Roxie

[MEL] Simples my interviewer friend. Just lately Teagan and I have been on fire, stealing every show that we have been on in UWF and that is in matches that we’re not in together. If we’re in the same match, facing each other, then there’s no telling what we can do. This isn’t some big rivalry match, I’m not gonna be upset and rant on twitter if she beats me, she’s not gonna piss and moan on twitter if I beat her. This is what it is, two best friends, girlfriends and tag team partners going out there with the purpose of stealing the show and having a good time

[ROXIE] So there won’t be any heated competition from either of you?

[MEL] Now I didn’t say that, Teagan is the veteran of the team. She’s only been pinned twice and even in one of those matches she won as it was an elimination match. She’s the veteran of the group and because of that people see her as the leader of the team, so I have something to prove with a win over her. Plus her name is first in our team but that’s only because we wanted our initials to spell out T.M.I. but then you can flip it the other way around, Teagan may be the veteran but from an accomplishment side of things I’m ahead of her. I’m a two time UWF Overload! Champion, may not have the belt now but still, I was the first person to win that thing twice. I’m also the two thousand and fourteen Queen of the Universe, that’s a title I get to keep until next year. Teagan? She’s the career killer and she got to be in Money in the Bank Ladder Match but she hasn’t got an accolade aside from end of year awards so in that sense she’s gonna be wanting to beat me to prove she can take out another former Champion…

Melissa looked like she was going to say more but stopped as she noticed a message on her phone. It was a tweet she’d been tagged in by the UWF General Manager Eddie Kassidy, she read the tweet and smiled wider than anyone had ever seen her smiled before

[ROXIE] What?

[MEL] That was a tweet from the UWF General Manager. It appears myself and Miss Teagan Cavenagh have a shot at the UWF Tag Team titles next week little Roxie, you know what that means?!

[ROXIE] What does that mean Melissa?

[MEL] That means that by the time PWP 10, Nothing Like A First time comes around myself and my PWP opponent will be the reigning UWF Tag Team Champions so not only will it be the first ever time that myself and Teagan have faced each other in a match, we’ll also be UWF Tag Team Champions while doing so

[ROXIE] So you’re confident that the two of you can defeat the reigning UWF Tag Team Champions then?

Melissa leaned forward still with a smile on her face, picking up her glass and taking another drink. She knew after this interview was over there would be a lot more drinking to be done, right now she was just getting started. It would soon be time to celebrate

She reached out and put a hand on Roxie’s shoulder

[MEL] Ah my dear Roxie, I’m more than confident. See, we’re facing the two Asylum members that we want the most. Liz Bathory, who has been a thorn in my side for months, she’s the one that took my belt not once but twice not to mention the reason Teagan got kidnapped… although she paid for that with multiple chair shots. I’d like nothing more than to take Liz’s other belt from her, yeah, okay, she beat me twice, took my Overload! title twice but I’ve also beaten her, three times actually so I’m going for four right here while Teagan is just looking for some payback

[ROXIE] Who is the other person in the match? What about them?

Melissa leaned back, her eye twitched a little bit. It was clearly a sour subject still but it was one that she didn’t have an actual problem addressing

[MEL] That, my dear Roxie, would be that silent little baby backstabbing little bitch Micah. The little monster of the Asylum that’s being used and abused by Liz Bathory and he doesn’t even realise it. He doesn’t see her for what she truly is, I tried to help him, I tried to save him from that bunch of freaks but he spat in my face, literally Roxie. He sprayed me with some black mist or green mist or something, cost me the damn title… all I tried to do was help him Rox and he turned his back on me but he’ll pay for it when T.M.I. take their tag team titles. That’s the thing though Roxie Poxie, this is what I’ve had to deal with in UWF, for almost a year I tried to make a name for myself and when I finally do I get six, seven, eight freaks targeting me. I needed a break, I needed to get away, and I needed the Pro Wrestling Project.

[ROXIE] So you joined PWP just to get away from it all?

[MEL] Not at all, for months I’ve been wanting to branch out but I went down with an injury that kept me out of action for a while. Even while I was out though I had contact with Josh, out of all the companies that showed interest in T.M.I. it was Josh and PWP that appealed the most, it was something different, something exciting. PWP itself is still young, next month’s show is the year anniversary. I want to be apart of PWP’s rise, I may have missed nine shows but I wanna be around for the next nine, the next ninety, the next nine thousand. I’m not gonna be one of those people that turns up for one show, has a match and then leaves. I’m not gonna be one of those people that’s here until they lose a match then quit, hell, if I was this could very well be my one and only show. No, I’m here to stay, I wanna be a major player in PWP alongside my best friend, tag team partner and girlfriend Teagan Cavenagh. This debut match, I didn’t want something easy, I didn’t want a title match, I didn’t want to be handed anything on a plate. I wanted a challenge mixed with some fun, that has Teagan’s name written all over it.

[ROXIE] It’s clear that the both of you want the same thing and feel the same way about this match against each other, it is simply a friendly rivalry match. You both have something to prove but neither of you will hold it against the other one for winning. That is established but what about beyond this match? You say you’re here to stay so what are your plans following this match with your bestie?

[MEL] To pester and pester and pester Josh until he creates some PWP Tag Team Championship belts!

Both Roxie and Melissa shared a laugh, Roxie took it as a joke but even she knew that Melissa was not joking. Both lovely girls took another drink before Melissa continued on

[MEL] But seriously, I’d love it if PWP got some Tag Team title belts. We’re besties, we’re a couple but even though we do have a Tag Team title shot in UWF next week we both end up in singles action a lot. Even though PWP doesn’t have Tag Team titles, at least right now, one of the other reasons we both joined was because Josh promised us more tag team action. Don’t get me wrong though Roxie, we’re not all about Championships, if we were then PWP wouldn’t have been a choice but we’re both still young, we have a long way to go in this business, we have a lot to prove. People see those big leather straps with gold glued on to them as proof that a person or persons have “made it” so where we’re not all about titles having them would show the world that T.M.I. mean business. So we’ll probably both pester Josh until he either breaks down and has to be committed or until he creates PWP Tag Team titles and when he does create Tag Team titles because I’m pretty sure he will just to avoid being committed you can guarantee that me and Teagan will be the first entry in to the tournament or whatever they hold to decide the first Champions. If and when this all happens you can bet your life that you’ll never, ever see Teagan and me with more fire in our eyes, more drive. We’d absolutely love to be a companies first ever Tag Team Champions, that’s an accolade nobody can ever match because there can be only one first Roxie

[ROXIE] Well thank you for your time Melissa, any last words for your girlfriend before we sign off?

[MEL] Yeah! Teags, don’t go easy on me and I promise you I won’t go easy on you either. We go out there as besties, girlfriends and partners, we come out as besties, girlfriends and partners. It doesn’t matter who wins, it doesn’t matter who loses, let’s just go out there and do what we do best and that is steal the show. Make the best girlfriend win

Roxie finished her drink before standing up and shaking Melissa’s hand. Melissa then stood up herself before leading Roxie over to the door of the party bus. As Roxie left though she was passed on the steps by someone who she was pretty sure was quicker than Barry Allen himself, a beautiful blonde who entered the bus and headed straight for the bathroom

As Roxie left the area Melissa closed the door of the party bus before moving over to the bathroom door and waiting outside of it, tapping her foot. After a few moments the door of the bathroom opened and out stepped Melissa’s good friend Vicky Stone, Melissa, once she was sure Stone had washed her hands, gave Vicky a hug before releasing her

[VICKY] Damn Mel I thought you were never gonna open that door, I’ve needed to pee for like an hour!

[MEL] Vicky? What are you doing here? Not that you being here is a bad thing I’m just surprised. I wasn’t expecting you to be out and about so soon after what went down. I’m glad to see you though

[VICKY] Yeah I figured I shouldn’t be a recluse forever right? I remember you telling me to check out PWP before everything hit the fan so I figured I’d come down and do just that. I mean, you’re facing Teagan right? What better time to check the place out, you two will totally kill it out there

Melissa smiled at her friend who’d had a bad month. She reached over to the bar and grabbed a bottle of JD before handing it to Vicky. Vicky wasted no time in taking a drink

[MEL] Thanks babe. Maybe it’ll be good for you, maybe it’ll spark you and motivate you again. I guess you can’t really be around UWF much right now, if you feel it maybe you can sign up to PWP? It’s like, one show a month, the majority of the roster seems pretty cool people and you could wrestle with me and Teagan… Hey! You can help us pester the owner Josh to create some Tag Titles we can win!

[VICKY] Yeah maybe, I dunno. I still need some time ya know? But I wanna scout it just in case I do decide to wrestle again. I was gonna go straight to the show tomorrow but I don’t know anyone but you two so I’d be like, all alone and stuff…

[MEL] Tomorrow? Vicky, I’m just here filming an interview and promo work right now, the actual show isn’t until July twenty ninth …

Vicky suddenly went all shocked face to Melissa, she thought the show was tomorrow night. Stone facepalmed herself

[VICKY] Oh man you’re joking right?

[MEL] No, it’s on the twenty ninth, you’re in the right place though. It’s here in San Antonio but not for another two weeks…

[VICKY] Oh damn, that’s even after Deadly Game right? Man I saw you were here in Texas on twitter, I figured for some reason that the show was tomorrow. Man, I guess all this stuff with Chris lately got my mind all messed up… doesn’t matter though, I’ll be back on the twenty ninth for the show though, I really wanna watch you guys wrestle and check out PWP properly

[MEL] Why don’t you travel down with me and Teags?

[VICKY] I don’t wanna be a bother Mel

[MEL] You won’t be at all, we’ll hit the road in the party bus and have a girl’s road trip. See all of Texas and then head down to the Alamodome together, you can sit in our locker room and watch me and Teags kill it in the ring on our big HDTV backstage. Might be a lot of travelling before hand since Deadly Game is like, a few days before but it’ll be fun. We can have a girl’s week out!

[VICKY] Yeah, sounds good actually. Maybe after the whole thing with Chris and you guys and The Asylum we all need it.

[MEL] You’re not kidding… anyway sit down, we can have a mini road trip right now. I’ll get the driver to drive us to the airport

Vicky nodded and sat down, still clutching the bottle of JD in her hands. Mel sat down opposite Vicky as Vicky opened up the bottle. Suddenly a light bulb or something like that popped up inside Vicky’s head, she looked at Melissa confused

[VICKY] Wait, you have a driver? Since when?!

[MEL] There’s always been one, I just don’t always use them. Maybe I should let them out to play once in a while. Anyway, kick back and relax, have a few drinks… we’re going on a road trip!

Melissa gave her anonymous driver the instructions as the two kicked back and relaxed. PWP was gonna be a new experience but it was gonna be a good one. Just who was the better member of T.M.I.? Tune in to Nothing Like A First time to find out!
