Booking Glory-Chapter 110: Diana pays Dacey a visit

"Ahem... as much I would love to watch you guys fight each other, I am afraid I am going to be somewhat of a spoilsport here,"Alanna said smirking at each of the wrestlers present.

She paced at the top of the entranceway and let the crowd simmer a bit.

"Look, I was minding my own business backstage. But, I saw all of you out here, wanting a shot at the LWC Women’s Championship, and I felt a bit weird. I mean, I too want a shot at that title. And I very much want to punch Dacey in her face as well."

"So," Alanna paused dramatically and teased the crowd a bit. "I decided to come out here and put my name into the hat as well. You guys wouldn’t mind, would you?" Alanna said much to the cheers of the crowd.

"You!?"

Suddenly Evelyn’s disharmonious voice cut through the cheers.

"You mean, you too want a shot at the title? Alanna, kid, the grown ups are talking business here, why don’t you hop your little scrawny ass back to the lockerroom and let the adults handle the business here," Evelyn mocked mercilessly.

The crowd booed, letting her know what they thought of such words. However, Evelyn wasn’t done yet.

"And as for you two," Evelyn turned to look at Leia and Marie. "This is not a grocery store for you to queue at the counter and demand to be serviced. If both of you don’t hop out of my ring soon, I don’t mind doing what I did to Selena once again and put you both in the hospital as well."

Immediately, the tension in the ring amplified. The crowd booed after hearing Evelyn’s threat to indicate their displeasure. Marie dropped the mic and turned to face off against Evelyn.

As they started to mouth off at each other, Leia prepared herself to get into the ring as well. Leia threw her mic away and climbed onto the ring apron, prompting both Evelyn and Marie to turn and look at her. Even Allana shed her coat and started moving towards the ring.

Just then, the titantron came alive and Mr. Gibson’s tired face became visible.

"Ladies! Ladies! Enough!" Mr. Gibson shouted, causing everyone’s actions to stop. "Look, I have heard what you all have to say. And you all have valid points. And I will take that into consideration."

"Next week, I will have an announcement regarding the No.1 Contender for the LWC Women’s Championship. Until then, none of you will dare lay a finger on each other. Am I clear?" Mr. Gibson spoke sternly causing the crowd to boo him.

"Trust me, you will not like the consequences, of you disobey this order. Right now, I have too much on my plate and don’t want anymore headaches. So, if you please vacate the ring, I have a show to get on the road," Mr. Gibson sighed, causing the crowd to boo.

The crowd really wanted these ladies to duke it out with each other. Unfortunately, Mr. Gibson’s words were like a wet blanket. He smothered any chance of a fight between them.

In the ring, Evelyn and Marie began to move away. Leia climbed down from the apron as well. Alanna shrugged and started to walk back with a smile. The crowd’s booing intensified seeing this.

"Fine, fine," Mr. Gibson angrily threw the pen in his hands away and looked directly at the camera. "Longham, do you want to see these ladies go at each other?"

The crowd roared in answer.

"Then, here’s what we will do ladies. Next week, Alanna and Marie will take on Leia and Evelyn in a tag match. Are you satisfied?" Mr. Gibson asked the crowd.

The response was a resounding cheer.

"Then so be it. Ladies, you will have your opportunity to get your hands on each other next week. Now, vacate the ring please. We have a show to get on the road."

*****

Rob sat in the commentary and listened to the satisfied murmurs from the crowd. He felt happy seeing this scene.

Integrating Evelyn with other members of the locker room and generating a storyline of a quest towards the title was the next stage of his plan. And this segment was very integral for it.

Before this, he wasn’t sure how the crowd was going to react when he introduced so many contenders for the title. Especially when he wasn’t sure how Alanna, Marie, and Leia were going to perform.

In his opinion, Evelyn nailed her performance. Marie and Leia were fine as this wasn’t much different from how challengers ask for a title match. Alanna’s performance needed a bit of finetuning though. She wasn’t expressing the sentiment she was going for while remaining in touch with her new character. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

But, Rob wasn’t worried about it. He could slowly guide and fine tune Alanna’s performance to be in-touch with her new character setting. There was still a long way to go before Alanna will have the spotlight focused on her.

This segment wasn’t long, but it had to come off as intense, while laying the groundwork for the inclusion of all the wrestlers in the storyline in a limited time. It was exceedingly difficult to pull off.

Luckily, his plan worked. The crowd looked to be interested as well. Now, the next step of the plan could proceed.

Letting out a sigh, he turned his attention to commentary

*****

The show continued with interspread matches and performances by the men’s division. Rob continued his usual hijinks with Dallas on commentary. He remained his usual irritating self, vexing the viewers very much.

And the time for tonight’s main event was nearing. Tonight’s main event featured a confrontation between Mark Weathers and Marshall Jones once again. The segment told the story of Marshall asking for another shot at the title after his loss at <Last Stand>, and Mark refusing him outright and walking away.

In the following weeks, Marshall would fight his way to the title picture. With the next PPV being an extreme one, it was the ideal time to let Marshall Jones bring back The Hedsmasher persona. Marshall would dig deep into his past and embrace his violent side after being rejected by Mark.

Rob had to give it to Robin. He was proficient enough in weaving a face vs face narrative. When he learned of the plan, he had to say he was impressed as well.

Just before the main event started, the titantron went blank prompting the crowd to look over. When it came alive, Dacey and her lawyer Liam Jamesworth were shown deep in discussion in Dacey’s lockerroom.

Immediately, boos filled the arena. If there was a most hated poll on LWC wrestlers, Dacey would occupy the top spot. And her slimy lawyer would come in as close second. No wonder their appearance could elicit such crowd reaction.

"No Liam, you need to do something! She can’t just walk away after damaging my property and assaulting you!" Dacey screeched.

"I tried, believe me, I tried everything I could. But, the Judge had granted her bail. As this is Diana’s first felony, the Judge decided to be lenient on her," Liam wrung his hands in helplessness.

"I can’t believe this is happening. Why can’t anything go my way!? First it was Andy and then this Judge! Aargh!" Dacey let out a shriek, causing Liam to wince.

"So, you are saying that I will see that bitch strutting around here next week. Is that what you are saying!?" Dacey demanded angrily, as she narrowed her eyes at Liam.

Liam gulped, "About that..."

"What?"

"Diana was given bail yesterday," Liam said hesitantly.

"And you are telling me this now?" Dacey asked in a calm manner, that sounded unnerving.

Chuckles echoed throughout the arena at this.

"Ahem... I mean, I called you this morning, but you were a little busy..."

"Never mind your excuses," Dacey snapped irritably. "Are you telling me that there is a high chance that Dianna Wharton might be in this arena, tonight?"

"Yes Ms. Dacey..."

"You fool, we need to leave now. Come on, hurry up. There is no time to waste," Dacey began to hastily evacuate the room.

Just as they opened the door, the smiling face of Diana appeared on the other side, causing the crowd to cheer.

"Hello Dacey, going somewhere?" Diana asked cheerfully.

Dacey stood there shocked, unable to believe her eyes. The next moment, Diana decked Dacey right across the face, causing Dacey to stumble back inside. The crowd watching the scene roared in approval. They enjoyed watching Diana deck Dacey across the face.

As Diana entered the room, Liam tried to stop her. Diana pushed him away and pounced on Dacey, causing both of them to fall on the couch and roll to the ground.

Diana recovered quickly, jumped on top of Dacey, and started pummeling her with her fists. Dacey could only raise her hands and passively receive the beatdown.

The crowd erupted in cheers and encouraged Diana. They finally found a vent for their frustrations with Dacey and really enjoyed watching her get beat up. They felt so satisfied with the scene on the tron.

However, their satisfaction was short-lived. That slimy lawyer of Dacey’s had found a silver tray somewhere off the camera and came back to whack Dianna across the back with it.

Diana paused in her actions and turned to look at Liam. Liam trembled under Diana’s gaze. Diana climbed off Dacey and turned to face Liam. Liam tried to retreat, but Diana reached out and grabbed him by the collar. Liam tried to struggle, but Diana easily overpowered him and took him up her shoulders.

Seeing this, the crowd boiled over. They knew what was coming. Heavenly Rotation - Diana’s finisher. Seeing Liam, the slick lawyer who had irritated them, about to receive this devastating move, the crowd roared in approval.

However, Diana made the mistake of taking her eyes off Dacey. Dacey attacked Diana from behind and saved her lawyer. Dacey kicked Diana into the ground and kicked away a few more times.

Liam and Dacey hastily vacated the place before Diana could recover. Diana chased after Dacey and Liam in the hallways. Dacey and her lawyer, somehow ran to the parking lot and boarded their car.

Throughout the chase, Dacey was shouting and pulling things in the way to create obstacles and delay Diana. Just as Diana reached the car, the car took away Dacey and her lawyer, leaving a fuming Diana alone in the parking lot.

The crowd also expressed disappointment that Diana wasn’t able to get her hands on Dacey. However, their appetite was satisfied with watching Dacey run away in fear. Now, they were even more eager for the time Diana finally got her hands on Dacey.
