The scene opens in a dusty field, on the outskirts of Portland, Oregon. As the camera pans around we see various targets setup along the hillsides. The smell of gunpowder permeates the cool northwestern breeze. **POW** The camera shakes at the loud gunshot that is deafening. As a smokey haze fills the camera view, it pans around to see a young blonde female, lowering her shotgun. The camera pulls back out and around, then zooms on the furthest target seeing a perfect bullseye. Letters, ripped apart from the shot, can be made out... "ICW." As the camera refocuses on the woman, she sets her gun in the rack beside her.
Dakota Paige: Icon Championship Wrestling... You know, when I got the call I was highly excited. I've been training for this for a while and being able to join an upstart promotion and make a name for myself, well that is something I've dreamed of ever since I was a little girl. Who wouldn't want to be a part of the ICW? They have some of the greatest fans in the world.
The woman, Dakota Paige, has been contracted by the ICW for a couple weeks now, but has been relatively quiet. She is a beautiful young lady with fire in her eyes. Once a huge name on the up and coming MMA circuits, she decided to focus on professional wrestling and has made ICW her home. Clearly a tom-boy but far from looking like one, she takes a moment to reload her shotgun before placing it back into the rack.
Dakota Paige: I've been buying my time here in the ICW, waiting for a chance to make my entrance. There has been questions from the fans as to when the women's division would gain some traction. I've sat around and watched the feud with Mandy Joe and Sapphire, almost asking myself "What have I got myself into?" Poor Sapphire was harassedso much that she's kind of disappeared. That Mandy Joe is definitely a piece of work. Sadistic. Following around her cult leader like her life depends on it. Do I really have what it takes to match her tenacity? Her ferociousness? Then I watch and see Mandy and Ari join up with the Russians, and not only them but the only other female on the roster, Alexis Grace. So what started as a promising division...well, it pretty much was dead in the water.
As Dakota stops to take a sip out of her water jug, and adjusts her tank top, she gets a smile on her face.
Dakota Paige: But you know, I couldn't think of a better time to show up. To make it known to the ICW fans that those two mediocre women, Mandy and Alexis, won't run away with the division. Nope! It is time to show the world what a strong, independent woman is all about. You see, I don't need a man to tell me what to do, they've been trying my whole life and despite their best attempts, no one has been able to hold me down in society. I'll be damned if I let anyone control me as those two puppets have done. There is a Women's title sitting vacant somewhere in a Stillwater office, and I am putting the industry on notice now, that title belongs to ME! "12 Gauge" Paige!
Dakota blows a kiss at the camera before picking her rifle back up and aiming it off in the distance. The camera focus on a target again off in the distance. Two pictures adorn the target, one of Mandy Joe, another of Alexis Grace. *POW* The camera shakes, and once refocused we see the picture of Mandy Joe, blown away and here a cocking in the background before - *POW* another shot, another rattle of the camera, and once again when all is calm, there is no more Alexis Grace on the target. The camera turns back to Dakota.
Dakota Paige: Stay tuned ICW, this is now MY company!
Dakota stares into the camera, raises the barrel of the gun to her lips and blows as if to cool it off. She giggles to herself before turning and walking off towards the building of the shooting range. The camera fades to black with the words "12 Gauge" Paige Is Here! As the scene comes to an end.
