A fan fest was ocurring in the heart of Chicago for the homegrown wrestling federation's final, and biggest (provided people remember they're still employed...) pay per view of the year, Global Supremacy. Out of the few wrestlers milling about, GCW backstage correspondent, Graciela, comes forward with a cameraman in tow. In her sights was Amy Rhaodes, signing a few autographs, before she felt the light of the camera on her. She turns, smiling as she sees the newcomers.
"So... what is it that I did now?"
"Oh, it's nothing....
I'm standing here with Amy Rhoades at GCW Fanfest, and Amy, there's one question I really want to ask, since it seems to be a hotspot for you, ever since your debut in GCW. At Exodus, you fought a man who tried every little thing in his big book of male chauvenism to KEEP from fighting you, looking for a man. In that match, it was apparent what your years as a trainer for the WWE, for both males and females, had done for you, as you soundly beat him in his hardcore environment. So, my question for you, is just how important are the women of GCW to the sport of professional wrestling, in your eyes... and how are they to be a role model for all of the young girls in school that watch you?"
Amy smiled. One thing that she adored were her younger fans, the ones that she knew she'd have an impact on their lives.
"Well, Gracie... day in and day out, we see the gender line blurred more and more, in my opinion. Women are becoming more and more prominent in the sport, instead of an object for the guys to watch over in small, tight fitting clothing that leaves little for the imagination. These women have built up their own tiers of respect for themselves, by taking on men, by stealing the spotlight in the main events, and even our first women's champion defeated our first men's champion in the middle of the ring at Abslolution... all very exciting sights!
You know, I'm glad I never made it to the main roster of the WWE... the complete objectification of the female body that they employ is just the wrong message to send to all of the fans! Did you know that they wanted me to get an enhancement surgery to just call them up? Excuse me, but I don't spend FIVE YEARS doing what I love, to the skill that I can... just for you to fire me and stick me in developmental hell just because I don't have a pair of basketballs on my chest. That's just bull, Gracie... and I think my fellow sisters and I have proven without a shadow of a doubt that we are for real, we are here for respect, and we have no problem ear-*"
A commotion is heard...
