He’s dead now, and I’d say that’s sad and all but honestly, can you imagine being married to Cassie Kade? Poor guy must have craved death.”
Nikki laughs, before continuing. “ANYWAY, this new place was real nice. Just don’t ask where the money came from. And in that nice new place there was this huge TV, and we had a way wider selection of channels than back in Cassie’s shitty apartment. And where I’m going with this, Kelly, is that I got to channel surfing one day and discovered wrestling that wasn’t Waifu Sports Entertainment. I discovered GJPW. I discovered you.”
“And ya see, that something that was missing?” Nikki shakes her head. “No more. You were the one. The wrestler I loved imagining myself as more than any other. Those knee strikes in my moveset? That’s you babe, thanks. First time I did one I broke that girl’s nose, the one that hated gingers.” Nikki giggles. “She was crying. There was blood everywhere… it was amazing! You should have seen it.”
“So then I stood over this bitch, did the finger gun at her and said ‘I want you to remember: You. Named. Me’ because you kept saying it in your promos and I thought that sounded fucking badass, and ya see that’s it. That’s why you were the one I wanted to be like so much. You weren’t some earnest do gooder cornball like Joan Cena. No. Your attitude. The silver hair. Even just the way you move. It all screamed badass. And all I wanted to do was knock the shit out of the girls that fucked with me and be every bit as badass when I did it. So I did, until I was the popular girl. Until I was the one with girls following her around. My favourite thing that we’d do is make fun of the girl that used to bully me for her crooked nose. You see, it never looked right after I broke it.”
