"One of these...! And a couple of these...!" Sammi was shadowing boxing in the hallways backstage, near the gorilla position/entrance area ahead of her big match!
The perky pinkette threw some rapid punches and finished up with a kick that saw her spin around and come to a stop! A reporter covering LAW's Double or Nothing Tourney appraised her tepidly with a microphone in hand.
"Sammi...? Sammi Defoe...?" The unassuming woman tried to get her attention.
"Oh, hey!" Sammi wiped her brow and caught her breath.
The lightweight Lioness was not an imposing figure by any stretch of the imagination. Sammi's small stature, big pink hair, and animated, bubbly demeanor made her a hit with the fans whether she was on a hot streak or in a slump! But tonight, especially, Sammi was driven!
"Tonight, you have a match against a big up and comer in Ashley Morgan. A high stakes match at that. Can you share your thoughts with the fans coming into this match?"
"Yeah, of course!" Sammi took the liberty of adjusting the height of the lady's microphone to bring it closer to her face.
"I've never met Ashley before. But I've seen her matches and she is...quite something!" Sammi's eyes widened as she reflects on who she's up against.
"She's bigger than me. A lot bigger. She's probably as strong as, like, 5 Sammi's put together. She has a mean streak. I'm not gonna sell you the illusion that I'm gonna go out there and wipe the floor with you, Ashley. But I will tell you this...." Sammi stepped closer to the camera. Her expression grew more focused, more confident than we've seen from Defoe in the past.
"You're coming into the Double or Nothing Tournament,.wrestling in what I think is your first big event match at this company. I've wrestled in LAW's Queen of The Ring Tourney. I've wrestled in the winner's bracket and on the loser's bracket in this Double or Nothing Tourney. Tonight might be your first tournament match. Our match coming up in a minute or two is my fourth career tournament match. I'm coming off a brutal loss to Isa the Angel of Ice. I've lost to every LAW Heavyweight I've ever faced. But tonight, I'm gonna beat YOU. You wanna know why?"
"Because I've got big hair, I've got big dreams, and I've got an even bigger heart." Sammi flipped her hair with both hands and followed that gesture with another by making a heart sign over her chest. Her entrance music began to play and she walked towards the arena!
"I've already pulled off one huge upset win in this tournament! And you're about to be my next one!" Sammi hollered before dashing towards the top of the entrance ramp!
The quick promo and the sound of Sammi's music pumped up the crowd! Fans all over the arena cheered when she made her presence known! Sammi pumped her first and danced her way down the ring, shimmying her hips and blowing kisses to fans as she climbed up the steel steps and stepped through the ropes. Sammi would walk to her corner and take a step up on the top turnbuckle. She waved to the fans and looked at the ramp expectantly as she eagerly awaited her second round opponent, "The Red Menace" Ashley Morgan!
Tagging @Afterhoursclub to give him a heads up that it's his turn next!
