Chelsea LeClair looks a little bit disturbed as she walks down a dark hallway. The hallway consists of images that worry her some. The walls are covered with images of her father, phrases such as ‘you’re not good enough’ and ‘paper champion’ and the most embarrassing moment of her career in being pinned by an octogenarian in OCW. Chelsea is more confused as there is one door at the end of the hallway. She enters it and sees the back of a blonde woman flipping through a television… and the television consists of more harsh moments for her.
Being fired from OCW.
Her former partner in Andrea Hernandez beating her in GCW.
Being eliminated from GCWA’s righteous rumble.
That recent loss in the 8 person tag match…
“What is all this?” Chelsea asks in the direction of the blonde on the couch.
“Why don’t you sit next to me?” the blonde says, her voice freaking Chelsea out a bit.
“You sound almost like…” Chelsea begins as she walks to the couch. She’s about to sit and she’s in for a surprise. “...me…”
Chelsea is looking right at someone who looks just like her, except older. This figure’s hair is shorter and some sight wrinkles appear in the corner of her eyes.
“...I am you… from 2031…”
“...what? You’re ME from 10 years in the future?”
Future Chelsea nods.
“What am I doing here?”
“You’ve been Revo1 World Champion for four months and you’re still feeling like you’re not good enough…”
“How do you know?”
“HELLO? I was you at one point! I remember… I put all that pressure on myself during that world title reign.Let me put it to you this way. You have been an amazing champion up to this point. The only weakness you’ve had is giving too much of a damn about what other people think of you. I mean Christ, you’ve been complaining about the UNSTABLE and shit they’ve said to you for HOW long now? You’re treating their constant undermining of you like it’s the end of the world. Somewhere deep down, you feel like if you lose the title to Sierra, they’re right. You’re putting too much pressure on yourself. I’m here to show you some perspective…”
Future Chelsea changes the channel on the television to 2015…
“You’re wrestling… why?” a talent scout asked Chelsea in 2015.
“I’m just here so I can be a TV star!” 2015 Chelsea admits with a scoff. “Wrestling is just my way to get there. I really don’t give a crap about being a wrestler so I’m just going to learn enough to get by until a television show calls me.”
Chelsea cringes as Future Chelsea changes the channel to 2017. The scene on the television features Chelsea cutting a promo in GCW.
“I AM NOTHING BUT RATINGS YOU GET ME! RATINGS!!!!” Chelsea screams into the camera. “I AM THE MOST MARKETABLE STAR IN GCW!!!! I GET EVERYTHING I WANT! I WILL BE WORLD CHAMPION AND USE THAT AS MY GOLDEN TICKET TO HOLLYWOOD AND GOODBYE WRESTLING!!!! AND I AM TAKING MY FUTURE HUSBAND DARIAN ANDREWS WITH ME!!!
The cameramen are heard laughing at her.
“THIS ISN’T FUNNY! I’M SERIOUS!!!!!”
“You’re a joke, Chelsea…” the cameraman says. “Nobody takes you seriously in GCW!”
Present Chelsea winces, clearly not liking what she sees. Future Chelsea changes the channel to 2019.
“YOU CAN’T FIRE ME!!!! YOU CAN’T FIRE ME!!!!” Chelsea screams in the hallways of OCW as security drags her through them. “ANDREA CHEATED! ANDREA CHEATED!”
“You are a waste of time, money and energy Chelsea…” states OCW’s talent relations head. “You troll online, you offer nothing to the product, you have this psychotic obsession with Andrea, you can’t even win a match to save your life. You’re 26 years old and you’ve accomplished NOTHING in your career since you and Andrea spit up. Throw her the fuck out boys…”
Chelsea gets thrown out of the arena, quite literally, as if she’s garbage. She’s only able to sit up before a box consisting of her stuff is thrown at her and knocks her down.
“Call us when you amount to something in this business… which you never will…”
Chelsea is left a broken, embarrassed, shattered crying mess and to make matters worse, rain is starting to fall right on her. It’s at this moment where Chelsea experiences her true rock bottom as a professional wrestler.
Chelsea in the present almost wants to cry when she sees her firing from OCW but Future Chelsea has one last thing to show her as she flips the channel to “2020”. Chelsea is that same shattered mess in the GCWA locker room late last year. Present Chelsea hangs her head as she knows what’s coming.
“It was all a fluke…” 2020 Chelsea tells herself in that locker room. “Lissie Hope was right. I’m just a nobody that got lucky to begin with when I beat her for the world title. It hurts… It really, really hurts. I built myself up from the ground up, all the way from rock bottom, and I get to the top, and that’s ALL I get? A measly, stupid one month title reign?”
Chelsea pauses as tears flow down her face.
“I guess everything will always be a tease. I guess I’m always going to be that wrestler that gets pushed around and made fun of. I guess I’ll always be the joke, the fluke, or hell, the way Lissie put it… ‘the whore’. I honestly don’t know if I am ever going to recover from this. Lissie was always better than me… and she always will be too. I’m a fool to ever want to be a wrestler at all…
Present Chelsea lets out a sigh when Future Chelsea shuts off the television.
“Why did you show me all that?” Chelsea asks her future self.
“I wanted to save you from making a huge mistake…”
“What’s that?”
“Forgetting exactly where you came from. Sure, you had it rough for a few years. You had to work extremely hard to break through and to be known as more than someone else’s partner. You had to shed the labels of joke, embarrassment, fluke, and so on. Being the champion in Revo1 as long as you have, you forgot about all the scars that you had to endure to get to where you are. Instead of focusing on that, you’re trying to silence and prove yourself to people like the UNSTABLE that don’t matter and never did matter. You’re trying too hard to overcompensate for that shortcoming in GCWA when your first world title was as short as it was and all of the bad memories I just showed you. You’re taking the words of others to heart too much just because a piece of you is still insecure about what you went through.”
Chelsea is a bit stuck, not knowing what to think just yet.
“You lost the mission…” Future Chelsea warns her. “It’s become less about becoming the professional wrestler you’re destined to be and more about proving everyone else wrong. It’s less about being the champion you’re capable of being and more about being stuck on being the ‘franchise’ star. You never needed to be a franchise star… you just needed to be you. You can only be happy-go-lucky for so long…”
“I take it I will master all these lessons at some point right?”
Future Chelsea nods. “For your sake, you better start mastering them NOW! Wrestling isn’t about being the best. Wrestling is about being what you can be to inspire hope in others to succeed in the same journey that you have. It’s not about the glory you’re experiencing, but about the pain, suffering and hardships you had to endure to even experience the glory at all. Everything those people have to say about you don’t mean anything. Seriously. Enough is enough with giving them the attention that they never deserved to begin with. You’re better. You’re stronger. Only YOU know your truth… and that’s ALL that matters…”
“Wow...I sure gain a hell of a lot of wisdom over the next 10 years…” Chelsea says with astonishment.
“I’d say ‘thank me later’, but you’re going to become me in 10 years so….”
“Do I actually become the success I’ve always wanted to be in my heart? Do I wind up becoming that wrestler that inspires the downtrodden and the hopeless to pick themselves up from the gutter and become successes in their own lives? Do I end up being remembered in a positive way?”
“There’s only one way to find out…” Future Chelsea states as she exits the room. Chelsea sighs, hoping to have gotten an answer.
“I really did lose the mission…” Chelsea admits, lamenting that fact. “After my run-ins with Aphrodite and Sora, there was a bit of a loss of confidence before I got things together. But no more of that. I’m not pushing away what brought me to the dance anymore. I’m going to once more embrace the obstacles, the pains and the scars that I had to endure to get to where I am today because THAT is what made me a champion, THAT is what has kept me champion and THAT is what will KEEP me champion and continue to push me to be better….”

The camera shot cuts to a zoom in on a pristine Barbie doll sitting on the inside of a dollhouse.
“This… seems to be the perception of me in this company… all pristine, all perfect, all happy-go-lucky…” says Chelsea in the background. The camera zooms out and Chelsea pulls out the Barbie.
“Perception…” Chelsea states as she shows off the doll, placing it on the table afterward. She then pulls out a small blade and leaves cuts in the doll’s clothing as well as some nicks and other cuts on the doll’s face and limbs.
“Reality…” Chelsea states as she shows off the doll again. “I know that I came in here rather fast and became the Revo1 World Champion. I know that with how fast I became world champion that I seemed like I was at the right place at the right time. I know with the way that my defenses have gone, I’ve seemed more happy-go-lucky than anything. But the truth is? I’ve NEVER had it easy! Sierra, I may not know you personally, but you certainly carry yourself with that happy-go-lucky kind of attitude. You don’t seem to be fazed by ANYTHING. You’re always cheery. You’re always smiling. You’re always bubbly. In a way, I have to envy that because you don’t seem like you have a burden on your shoulders. I USED to have that same demeanor before my wrestling career and I know I’ll never be that girl again. This business has scarred me too damn much for that to happen. You’re young. You’re going to have your time someday. But you’re not ready yet. And the reason for that?
You haven’t even suffered a QUARTER of the scars that I have.
Were you ever embarrassed on national TV when one of your employers fired you and literally threw you out on the street in front of the whole world?
Were you ever mocked, ridiculed and told that you’d never amount to anything in wrestling?
Have you ever felt like you’ve let people down?
Were you tormented and abused by a mentor that was supposed to take care of you? Did that mentor ever beat you down in front of the cameras for the whole world to see for your own humiliation? Were you ever stripped of your pride, dignity, hell even your own clothes behind the scenes while you were beaten with a belt by your own mentor while the cameras were off? Were you ever brainwashed, turning into an absolute joke in the process, at the hands of that mentor?
Ever been driven to drugs, Sierra?
I don’t mean to paint such a bleak picture here. I just want you to know the reality of the business. It’s not the way I’ve seen you live it in front of the cameras. This business isn’t all the fun and games that I feel like you treat it as sometimes. Everything I asked about? I went through! If I never went through ANY of that, I would’ve never gotten stronger and become the world champion that I am today. I had to endure HELL to get here. I’m not talking about your basic wrestling school slash Indy scene hell, I’m talking about REAL hell where you cried yourself to sleep 6 nights out of 7 every week wondering if you were ever going to be good enough. I’m talking about a HELL where if you’re not on a certain chemical high, you feel like you want to die. I’m talking about the hell where you experience a moment of glory and it’s gone as a flash, leaving you wondering if it was all a fluke and if you really deserved to have it in the first place on top of wondering if your worst enemy was right about you the whole time.
When I first became a singles wrestler, I fell… a LOT! The PAIN is indescribable. The SCARS that I carry with me are there as a reminder of what I had to endure. Compared to me, you’ve had it easy, Sierra. Just being ‘so close yet so far’ is a hell that you have to endure to even be a world champion… and when we wrestle against each other, that’s precisely the hell I am going to have to put you through. It’s not because I WANT TO, it’s because I HAVE TO! You don’t know ANYTHING about what a REAL hell in this business is like. I’m not saying this to downplay what you’ve accomplished or the hard work you’ve put into this business to get to this point. But something that I’ve learned is that passion and determination isn’t enough. You’ve got that in spades, I’m not denying that. But against me, that and what abilities you have is what you’ve got against me.
You’ve never experienced the TRUE heartbreak that I’ve experienced in this business multiple times. You don’t know what the scars of losing a world title match feel like or even look like… but I DO because I’ve been there. Against you, I’m not going to forget that and when this is all over, you ARE going to feel that heartbreak and you ARE going to experience those scars. It’s unavoidable Sierra, because every single wrestler worth their salt goes through it at least once. I don’t WANT to put you through that pain. But it’s a pain that’s going to make you STRONGER! It’s going to make you BETTER! You can’t be a world champion without it. I’m COMMITTED to this and I have been from the moment I decided to change my life for the better and destroy the demons that I allowed to destroy me.
You? I’m not so sure about you. You’ve already stated your intent to get the Futures title back at some point so I question if the world title is your true focus. Something you’ve got to learn REAL quick is that when you win a world title or contend for one, it HAS to be your ONLY focus. You can’t have your eye on anything else. You can’t take it for granted. You can’t have a happy-go-lucky attitude about it. You do any of those things, you’ve already lost before you even step in that ring with me.
MY weakness? It wasn’t all the abuse, the heartbreak, the humiliation and all these horrible things that I endured. It was, for a time, running away from them because I was too caught up on silencing idiots here that never should’ve mattered to me to begin with. EVERYTHING that I described, Sierra, as far as what I’ve been through? It’s what makes me STRONG! It’s what makes me STRONGER than you are. Going through the wringer the way I did gives me an advantage over you because I know JUST how brutal the journey to the top can be and how cruel that heartbreak can be when you call short in a huge match. I tried so damn hard to overcompensate for so damn long, but that’s not going to be me anymore.
I know the kind of wrestler I am.
I know the kind of champion I am.
I know my place in this business: being the survivor that I’ve been!
I am never, ever going to forget all of the hell that I had to endure to even get to where I am today because that’s what shaped me to be so damn strong and so damn good at what I do. Every single time I fight for my title, I will always dig deep and remember that I had to endure and evolve and bust my fucking ass through ALL of the adversity at VARIOUS degrees of torment and pain and heartbreak to get to where I am! You’re not going to be able to defeat that, Sierra. You may want this bad, maybe REALLY bad, but I know that once the bell rings, you’re not going to want this nearly as bad as I do… not for a lack of trying, but for a lack of knowledge of what it TRULY takes to get to the top of the mountain!
But don’t you worry Sierra…
Tuesday is going to hurt on an emotional level like it’s never hurt before for you…
But the knowledge and the perspective that you are going to gain out of the heartbreak hell coming your way is going to be completely invaluable to you…
Trust me on that one Sierra. You’ll get it when you become a Revo1 World Champion yourself…
Unfortunately, Sierra, it’s just not going to be against me on Tuesday…
