One on one with Kelsia Vector 5-25-09
Posted by Kaylyn James Evans on Thursday, April 21, 2011
Charles Yan had been asking for sometime now if she would agree to answering questions of any and all sorts. Finally he got his yes and she had said she would answer any questions he would ask and would not let any go to waste, for that reason he went right to the web and posted asking for all ACW fans to go and ask questions that they would love to hear her answer. After many submissions, and long hours, he picked out some questions to get answered, both of the serious nature, as well as some that would no doubt come back to haunt her in the future with out a doubt. He sat there in an extremely cushioned white chair that looked like one would have no problem falling asleep in. His hair was sleeked back, and his attire was completely professional for the occasion. Black pin striped suit with a white button up shirt beneath, no tie, but that did not take away from the look he was going for. Even his shoes looked like new dress shoes that complemented the suit quite nicely. The camera was on and rolling because he just got word that his guest of honor for the day just came into the building.
No sooner did the camera start running did the focus turn from Charles Yan and towards the door, at thefloor at that. The door would be seen opening and white heels would come into view. Slowly the camera panned upward and those long caramel legs were shown covered in a sheer nude colored stocking. As the camera hit mid thigh a white fabric would be shown hugging her thighs and hips accordingly. Zooming out the view came in a little clearer and one would see a yellow button up shirt under a white jacket to match the skirt. Her hair was falling in front of her shoulders nicely, in even sections on both sides, the rest falling along her back. She seemed to be in a good mood considering everything that had been coming her way lately. Slowly she came forth and took a seat in the matching chair not far from Yan and crossed her right leg over her left causing her thigh to become exposed just a bit more.
With a small nod from her, Yan went and started them off so they could get into this right away, after all he planned on drilling her and hard. "Welcome ACW fans for this exclusive one on one with our guest of honor, Kelsia Vector. I have left it to you the fans to come up with questions that you wanted to hear Ms Vector answer and I am sure this will be an eventful day for us all. Welcome Kelsia, are you ready for what's in store for you today?" He asked turning from the camera and towards her now. Kelsia was sitting up with great posture as it seemed she would be here for some time. A small was smile on her face showing some of those pearly whites within. "Charles, I am as ready as I will ever be. It would have helped if you would have let me catch a glimpse of the questions before I arrived, but I guess you would rather see my reaction when first hearing them now wouldn't you?"
A smile came across the face of Yan and he got right to it. The room in itself was set to catch the voices within so no matter what he said, or she said, it would be picked up, that was something he had not warned Kelsia about, but he did say it was a tell all. Every women for herself right? "Well Ms Vector, you have been with ACW for four months now, and I must admit, we have seen much come from you, many changes indeed. To start, tell me a little something about each of your matches here to date. Your first match here in ACW, it was against Evelyn Blackwell, and what did you do to prepare yourself for in that match?"
Kelsia could tell right now that it was going to be a long day, but she was okay with that. This was a chance for her to talk without all the hostility and she was glad for that much. "How did I prepare? I went and worked out as I normally would. The fact that it was against another newcomer did not help matters because I had no idea what she was capable of. When it comes to my first match here, I must say I was disappointed in my opponent. Evelyn had not said word one all week, she just assumed she would come in and take me out. I am sorry, but as she seen that was not the case. I don't care if they have something to say or not, just make an appearance. It is in the contract to make appearances on ACW TV each week. Why bother signing a contract if you are not going to follow it? I mean the girl might have had a chance, might have even been good competition but she seemed to have dropped off the face of the earth once I was done with her didn't she? Guess she realized that she was not made out for the business. Evelyn, wherever you are, and good luck with whatever you do."
"Well that was something we are not used to hearing. Kelsia Vector wishing someone luck? Next match, you were in a match with Robin Mayfair the following week, thoughts on that match?"
Kelsia seemed tocontinue to keep her tone down still, it was not something that anyone was used to seeing from her. "Robin Mayfair is a great competitor. After seeing everything she did here in ACW it was no surprise when she got the pin on me. She gave me the respect of not calling me a rookie. If she felt that way behind the camera, she never voiced it. Though I must say her little paper dolls and burning them up did get my attention, just not enough to get the win. Hopefully I will find myself in the ring with her again, and even if she picks up another win over me, she will come to see how much I have grown in my time here."
Yan seemed to be waiting for the moment when Kelsia would lose it, and it seemed to be irritating him that she was not getting to that point. The whole reason he wanted a tell all was to let her have at everyone and here she was being nice about it all, not really what he had in mind. "Yes no doubt the first loss of your career, the first of many at that, and it was against Robin Mayfair." It was not really a question but a statement trying to bring the fire in Kelsia back out once more. "Yes, it was the first loss in a line of losses, but with such a great women's division, it is no wonder I was taken to the mat and pinned so many times."
"The following week you encountered two competitors who had their eyes on you from the moment you entered. Both you have come to know well in the ring, one more so then the other, but great matches none the less. Aurelei and Alexa in a three way battle. That week you seemed to change and the fire within you started to burn. Your thoughts on that match and what caused all the fire within to come forth?" Yan sat back watching her with a smirk on his face knowing that the mention of Alexa and Aurelei would definitely bring that fire back.
"Yes, that week, who could forget it? That was the start of an on going feud with Alexa and me."Kelsia's leg seemed to rock back and forth as she sat there in silence for a moment. "Alexa was right, I did let her comments get to me. She was only trying to point things out to me, and yes if my words were twisted around it was for a reason. Since then I have tried to change what I say so that my words are not as easily turned on me. Aurelei did the same, she seen me feeding off everything that Alexa was saying so why not go and do the same. It worked, Aurelei picked up the win and that's all there was too it."
"But what about the comment you made when you said Alexa was the reason you lost the match because she did not break the pin?"
"Yes I did say that. I did not think before I spoke. Alexa was not to blame, I was. I could have lifted my shoulder or kicked out but I failed to do so." Once more he failed to light the fire back up and he was not sure what would get her going again, maybe one of the questions from the viewers would do it? He would have to wait till he got there. Kelsia reached for a bottle of water that was sitting on the table between them and her right hand twisted the cap from it. Left hand lifted to pour some of the contents into her mouth and let it go down her throat before closing it once more and placing it back on the table.
"So Kelsia, the following week you were against Aurelei and Alexa, but this time it was a tag team match, and your partner was Robin, the same person you went and got pinned by for your first loss. So your thought's on the match as well as on teaming with Robin?"
Kelsia cleared her throat and readjusted herself in the seat uncrossing her legs and letting them both rest on the floor. "Teaming with Robin was an experience. She was the first one to pin me here in ACW but none the less she was a great partner. We both went and fought the team of Obsession and we came up short. I would love to be able to get into the ring with Robin again, as I already said, either in a singles match or a tag team match. Alexa and Aurelei came at me again that week, but it was nothing that I did not warrant."
"Another win was in the works for you when you went into the fatal four way match against Robin Mayfair, Alexa Rose, and Aurora Jansen, who you had never been in the ring with before. Not only did you pick up that win, but it had you as the number one contender for the women's championship title. Can we have your thoughts leading up to that night as well as your thoughts on winning the match if you will?"
"Being in a match for the number one contender ship had me training harder that week. Not only was it a match to decide who would be facing Aurelei Phoenix for the women's championship title but it was a match with three others who wanted the shot as much as I did. Yes, I said I didn't care about winning the belt, and to an extent I didn't. Robin, Alexa and Aurora all put up a great fight to win the match but I happened to be the one to pick up the win that night. Yes I had my foot on the ropes to pick up the win, but it's not my fault the referee could not see that from his position. Everyone has done that a time or two, and if they say they haven't I am sure they are lying." Kelsia laughed softy knowing that she would be one of those that if asked at any other time she would probably deny having done such a thing.
"The following week you had your shot at Aurelei and came up short to win the title, what do you think is the reason for that?"
"Revelation, yes how could I forget it? I highly doubt anyone would forget their first time going through an announce table. Aurelei is a great competitor, her reign as the Women's Champion shows that much. She is not someone to take lightly at all. I did not take her lightly as everyone seen, but once more I fell short of the win."
"Fuel was set to the fire and because of it you wound up in a match with Ryan Stevens as your tag team partner. Your opponents to no surprise were Alexa Rose, who you had confrontations with in the past, and present, as well as someone who had an outing with your partner, Cole Blaze. What was it like working with your partner, and what caused the brawl in the back?"
"As far as what lead to that match up, as everyone seen, after I lost to Aurelei, Alexa and I got into it in the back. Cole Blaze and Alexa's posse pulled her away, while Tony and Adrean pulled me away. Snake happened to walk by in time to see enough and call for a match. As for Ryan Stevens being my partner, I have nothing bad to say about that, we worked well together and it was an experience I will not forget. The brawl before the match was caused because Alexa and I are not ones to back down at all, because of us bumping into one another on our way to the ring and our words going back and forth, we missed our entrances so we just had at it there. Our partners did not like that very much as everyone seen when they came in the back and drug us down to the ring after prying us apart and almost getting themselves knocked out in the process of us wanting to go at one another. There are times when situations arise and you just take action. That was one of those times.'
"Now two weeks in a row we seen Aurora Jansen and yourself going against one another, even with back to back matches it was something different each time. Where did all the fuel come for that fire?"
"Yan, I said some things that got Aurora pissed, I even set up a funeral for her. I can see why she despises me so much. I have led everyone to believe that Aurora Jansen and Roric Draygon had something going on between them when I myself know that right now it is nothing but a friendship. I can see there are feelings on both ends, and maybe if the circumstances were different there might be something there, but I was in the wrong to open up about anything like that. It was not my place and everything that happened because of it I put on myself. I have come into ACW and ran my mouth almost from day one. I have stepped on many toes and that is something I will have to deal with. So once more, it was my fault, and I will admit to it."
Yan was completely confused now. Kelsia was blaming herself for others actions as well as her own? Something was not right. Maybe her concussion was worse then they had thought? He shook his head but continued on. "Alexa Rose and Kelsia Vector in a street fight. What caused you to attack Adrean and Tony as they came out to help you?"
Kelsia canted her head to the side before bringing her hand up to lay across her stomach and straighten up once more. "As far as my attacking Tony and Adrean are concerned, I told them both not to come out to the match. They both knew where my state of mind was at. I warned them both that I was not going to deal with anything like that, and they came out and tried to interfere after I asked them to stay in the back. For every action there is a reaction, they knew they were going to piss me off by coming out there and they did it anyway. They dealt with the consequences, and we are all fine now."
"What about yourself and Alexa, and the match in general? I know you and Alexa have so much going on with the two of you. How did it feel to win against someone you hate so much?"
"Alexa and I put our bodies on the line like never before, at least on my end. We gave the fans a fight that they will not forget. I don't regret anything. It was an amazing night and I would do it all over again just for the fans. Alexa and I might have our problems, but the problems we have are my fault are they not? She is a great wrestler, and she puts it all out there in the ring. Every time I am in the ring with her it makes me work that much harder because she is such a great wrestler!"
Yan did not believe that statement what so ever, but he would get to that later on. Right now he had a few more matches to get through and once they were done then he could get to the nitty gritty of it all, and hopefully that fire would burn once more. "Aurelei and Xena vs. Aurora and yourself, what were your thoughts when you seen you were going to be tagging with the Ghost? That week we all seen a change in you, at one point you and Aurora were actually getting along... what changed that? "
Kelsia rolled her neck side to side getting a few kinks out. "Well I was shocked for one thing, and I tried to work with Aurora despite everything. When I seen Snake come out to the ring, I didn't know what to expect. He had over turned one of the matches that Aurora and I were in and then he was at ringside there, I had to watch myself and I did what I had to do to get the match done and over with quickly so I could get out of a situation I was uncomfortable with."
"I guess next you are going to tell me that Aurora and Snakes actions when they came to your locker room after the show were warranted as well?"
"Actually yes, it was. Aurora came to my locker room to confront me and I think there was no problem with that. I would have done the same thing. Snake happened to follow her back to make sure things were okay. When things got out of hand Snake took things into his own hands. Tony and Adrean had nothing to do with it so yes, Snake kept them out of the equation. I do not agree with the way he did it, but he did what he felt was right."
"Due to everything that had been going on the following weeks match was set up, Kelsia Vector and Roric Draygon vs. 'The Fanged Entity' Snake and his partner Aurora Jansen. More then anything, we all seen things change that week. You showed a whole other side to you and I believe we all saw fear in you. Why did you change your strategy going into that match?"
"I guess you have not been paying much attention. I said that week on air that the reason I was that way was due to my stepping on everyone's toes in the business. I had gotten on my partners bad side, as well as both of my opponents. If I would have continued with running my mouth that week then I would not be sitting here talking to you now and I know that for a fact. Even the little I did have to say got me a concussion in that match. Snake could have destroyed me more then he did. More could have happened, but it didn't, for that I am grateful."
"That match had ended due to disqualification. You and Roric were both laid out, and on both occasions, it was Aurora asking Snake not to hurt you or Roric...your thoughts on what was going on in both of their minds?"
Kelsia's hand seemed to creep up to the back of her head and neckholding it for a minute as the question was being asked. She didn't even realize she did it but obviously she remembered the pain from that match too well. Her head gave a small shake as her hand came to rest in her skirt covered lap once more. "Aurora showed she had heart there. The fact that she tried to save me, that was something that shocked me when I re watched it. It was no surprise she tried to save Snake from hurting Roric; after all he was her friend. When it came to me, my jaw actually dropped seeing that happen. It was something that was not expected what so ever. She amazed me that night, in the ring, and out of it. As for what was going on in their minds? I can not really say now, after all I am not Aurora, nor am I Snake. His fuel was due to his despise of Roric, as well as what I had to say to him throughout the week."
Yan's foot started tapping on the floor and the click of his shoe connecting with the floor could not be heard as the carpet muffled the sound. "Alexa Rose and Kelsia Vector met once more. You had changed during your airings through the week what can you tell us about that?"
"I did not change so much as just show another side of me. Kelsia Vector is not always the way most are used to seeing me lately. Like I said, the fire came out, but I am letting it go for now. Hopefully no one will fire me up that much again, but that does not mean for a second that I am going soft."
"Now in a few short days away it will be Aurora vs. Kelsia for the Women's Championship title. What are your predictions for this match?"
"As far as the Women's title match is concerned we will all have to wait and see what will happen when it gets here. I have been training hard, and I know Aurora has as well. Its a matter of who wants it more. I know Aurora is not ready to lose the title, but at the same time, I am ready to have it around my waist."
Yan was moving in his seat, getting irritated or uncomfortable? Only he knew that answer. He was quiet for a moment then spoke up again. "Okay, now where to start? Before we get to the series of questions that were sent into us, there was one more question that had many parts to it. Your opinion on each of the Superstars in ACW... I will read off a list, then just throw your answers out there so we can get to the next series of questions." Yan seemed to think where he wanted to start, and Kelsia had a feeling he would try even harder to get under her skin once more. "I guess I should start off with your opponent this weekend. Aurora Jansen."
"There is not much that I have not said already. She is a great wrestler, most of them are. Hell, when she and I teamed together we cleared the air, and if it was not for my insecurities with Snake being at ring side, and me turning my back on her for it... I think we would be under much better grounds then we currently are. All the drama between us came when I started the rumor about her and Roric being more then friends. Again, I repeat, that is not the case. Why everyone would go and believe me just because I said it, I can't answer that, but I am telling you all now, they are just friends. They say it, so I will believe it."
"Okay, since you mentioned him, Roric Draygon."
"Again, Roric is another great wrestler and more so he is a nice person to have in your corner. I was iffy having him in my corner with stepping on his toes already but we cleared the air, if even just for that match. As everyone seen, we worked well together. He asked me to stay out of his way, and but for a spur of the moment tag, I did. He is the type of person that anyone can just walk up to and ask advice, and for the most part, he will give it. He could have turned on me, but he stood by my side that night, and for that I respect him."
"Never thought I would see the day when you would say you respected anyone in this business let along Roric Draygon."
"You see, no matter how much my mouth has run thus far, I do have respect for every person in the locker room. You think it’s easy for us going out there day in and day out and putting our bodies on the line? It’s anything but that Charles. If I remember correctly you were tossed though a table by Roric. Did that not hurt? Exactly! It did. This is not an easy sport, but we get out there and do our thing because we love the business. Anyone who gets into this business should be respected. We are risking our lives at times for the fans. That is why the fans love the sport... its not all fun and games, there are real people here and real injuries occur. Remember that next time you want to question anything Yan, remember how it felt when you went though that table... this is what we live for...and some even die for."
Yan seemed to be in a state of shock.Where was Kelsia Vector and how could he get her back? "Okay then, moving on. Alexa Rose.
"Alexa is by far the greatest competitor I have gotten in the ring with so far. No matter how much I prepare she will catch me off guard. Not saying that the others don't but Alexa and I have been in the ring many a time before. She is the type that will give criticism to let you know where you need work, and as long as one does not take it the wrong way, and they listen to her, they will go far in the business. I will tell you one thing, never underestimate her. She is a beast in the ring, and I mean that with all due respect."
“The Fanged Entity Snake?"
"Snake, he is amazing. The way he sits there getting into everyone's head. He knows what to do to get in the ring and defeat his opponents with no questions asked about that. Yes he has losses like everyone else, but his wins over take them by far. When I was in the ring with him, I was scared; he is not someone to take lightly at all!"
"The team of Razors Edge, Brian and Kyle Harris"
"They have proven to be a great team here in ACW so far. They are coming in and already giving the other tag teams, and single competitors a run for their money. If they keep the work going like they have been I am sure that they will have the tag titles around their waist soon enough."
"Hiashi?"
"Like he said, he is not one to run his mouth. He is hear to teach those needing a lesson just that. I hope to never cross paths with him, but anything goes in this business."
"Moshpit, what are your thoughts of him?"
"He reminds me of myself really. Well in a sense he does. He has come in and ran his mouth just as much as I have, and it's starting to catch up with him...whether he can handle it or not is a different story. He has showed that he can come into the ring and defeat his opponents, but his mouth will catch up with him just as my own did with me."
"I think you are being too nice with many of them, How about the team of Hyena and Mike Voland?"
"Everyone has their own opinions Yan, and the fans are asking for mine here not your own. As far as Voland and Hyena are concerned they are another set of people I don't want to cross paths with if I can help it. Both are great wrestlers individually as well as a team. They have come down and gotten in the way of many in this business, and to top it off, at one point they were under Snakes wing. Anyone who has been on the same side as Snake is not someone to take lightly."
"Lucien Fell."
"Old man or not he has continued to show that he belongs here in ACW. No matter whom he comes to face in the ring there is no easy win from his opponents that might pick one up on him. He continues to show us all that he is not going anywhere anytime soon."
Yan seemed to just want to get this part done and over with, actually it seemed his whole reason behind the interview was crashing down on his and he was receiving a slap across the face for it. He did not want all these nice answers. When he planned the tell all he was sure it would have been something juicy, but instead he was getting a soft and collected Kelsia.
"Cole Blaze?"
"When he was here he was a great competitor, even while I was in the ring with him. It is sad that he is not with us right now. Lucky for him, and for us, he is fighting and working to get back to us as soon as he can. Yes I know I said I could care less that he was out, but that is one less competitor in the ring. I will not be happy until I have been in the ring against every great competitor in this business."
"Daisy"
"Ashley Davis has come in and right away went against the team of Obsession. Not only did she make it out alive but she did it with a partner that was new to the business as well. She seems to have her head on straight but it’s only a matter of time to see if it will stay that way."
"Cynthia Cross was the partner she had that you were referring to, thoughts on her?"
"Cynthia is another one who is of great potential in this business. Like I said, she went against Obsession in her first match. So far she has not backed down and she does not seem the type to do it either. She will be great in this business."
"Robin Mayfair."
"Yes, the women that broke my cherry here in ACW. A great competitor. Hands down someone I am glad to see back once more. I hope I have the opportunity to get into the ring with her again. Not only is she a great competitor in the women's division but she has branched out and went against the men one on one and came out a champion. Who can argue with competition like that? "
"Aurelei Phoenix?"
"Yes, Aurelei Phoenix, she is another great competitor in this business. Four months as the women's champion before she was defeated. Not many can hold a belt for so long with everything that was going on around and to them. She is a woman of great strength, drive and so much more. Never one to let you down and that is a plus, as we all seen this past week, she is not someone to take lightly either."
"Nothing bad to say even though she cost you the win, drove her foot into your head and then went for a chair shot?"
“Something is telling me you want me to get mad here Charles. Bottom line is this. Like I said already, I did plenty to warrant attacks from many in the back. As far as her costing me the win goes, there is no way to say if I would have won that match or not. For all we know Alexa would have been coming at me and planting me to the mat herself. Things happen that we can not control."
Yan was irritated with that response and it showed from the scowl on his face. "Xena Katya Stratus"
"I have not really seen much from her but what I seen was enough. She is good in the ring.Just watch out for the kisses that might fly your way in the middle of a match. She can get in the heads of any just as Snake can.
"Lastly, Uria Kane."
"Great competitor, its sad that his temper got the best of him, but he will be back with us all soon enough.
Seemed like she didn't want to really talk anymore. Yan looked towards the camera and spoke once more. "We are going to cut to a short commercial break then we will be back with more getting to know Kelsia Vector."
The camera cut the feed while the commercial aired and Kelsia grabbed that bottle of water once more and finished more then half of what was left before placing it back once more. Yan had gotten up and walked away in frustration. Kelsia merely kept a smile on her face... was she intentionally being nice this whole time to mess with everyone's heads? Yan came back over and sat down once more grabbing the card and looking over the questions that he had yet to ask. Kelsia crossed her left leg over her right this time around and her hand came to brush through her hair making sure it was still in tact as the camera man showed they were going back on air in three, two... one...
"Welcome back ACW viewers. We have a few more questions to ask the number one contender and like she promised she has not been skipping out on anything. Now Kelsia, the viewers have spoken, and one thing that was on many minds was this... in your number one contenders match the first time around. After defeating everyone you came back and hit Alexa with a steal pipe! What was the reason for using a pipe of all things, the significance of it if you will?"
"Think about that one. The term pipe has many definitions behind it. One of those definitions is that it is the eruptive channel opening into the crater of a volcano. When I got here Alexa's words set me off. They opened me up like a volcano and finally I burst. The pipe was enough to do the damage I needed it to do at the time, as well as get some attention to the one who had gotten me to waken up and fast."
Yan nodded as she spoke and looked at the card once more. "You already stated that you started the rumor behind Aurora and Roric being more then just friends. The fans want to know why you did it, and also your thoughts on others in the business buying it."
"Yes, I started the whole thing between Aurora and Roric, why did I do it? Simple really. I had to get under my opponents skin. Aurora was my opponent and the best way to get to her was to say that her friend, who is a taken man, was more then a friend to her. While I did get under her skin, I was not thinking of the others who would have been offended by the remark as well. Aurelei and Roric of course were in the mix. I am glad to see that things are getting better for them now. As for others buying into what I said, I can not help that. If you pay attention some things that were said by all parties could be questioned, so it's still a mystery."
"Understandable. I agree that there might be something else going on there that has not come into the open just yet but only time will tell. Anyway, next question. Do you like horses?"
"Actually yes I do. Horses are actually my most liked animal. I go riding at times and have done so since I was a young girl. My step sister has a stable actually and she trains horses there so I have lucked out when it came to that. It gave me a chance not only to ride, but to learn to train and groom them as well."
"You, grooming horses? Not something I can picture, however next question... How do you feel about bunny rabbits?"
Kelsia found herself laughing as she heard the question. T'was not the question that was funny but hearing Yan saying bunny rabbits instead of just rabbits. Gaining her composure once more she reached for the water and after uncapping it she took another long sip before twisting the cap back on and setting it down once more. "I love animals all in the same really. Whether it is a rascally rabbit, a horse, or anything else it does not matter."
"Okay so from the sounds of it you are all for animals, I guess it is fair to say that Kelsia Vector is against fur then?"
"I personally will not be caught wearing or buying anything of the sort. What others do is their own business. I am not going to turn this interview into a debate so I am going to leave it at that.
Kelsia stretched her arms out in front of her before over her head. She did not care that she was being interviewed; after all she had been sitting here for quite some time now so it was only natural that she needed to stretch out here and there. Her hands came to rest by her sides once more, on the arms of the chair of course and she awaited the next question.
"When The Fanged Entity Snake was the General Manager he caught you and Alexa in the back having a little show down with one another. He warned you both right then and there to cut it out with that or you would regret it. It seems like since then you have done nothing but try to get under his skin. You disobeyed his orders and continued the very next week actually with another bout in the back as well as having plenty of words with him during your airings. Why is it you continue to irk him?"
"Why do I continue to irk Snake? He is a tough person; I know that, as does everyone else. But for someone to try to stand there and tell me not to do something or else... That does not work with me. If I have something to say to someone I will say it. If I want to go at someone, I will do that as well. No one other then my mother has ever stopped me from doing something. The fact that he asked it not to happen only made me want to get into confrontations that much more. Warning for the future, if you want me to not do something... don't bring it to my attention. It will only make me want to do it even more so.
"Next question is along the same lines. What are you going to do when you finally push one like Snake or Roric over the edge and they decide to physically teach you a lesson? I enjoyed when that question was asked and I am sure the viewers would love to hear what you have to say to that one."
Kelsia smiled softly hearing the question and her hands came to fold across her stomach before she went to respond. "If someone feels they need to physically teach me a lesson then so is it. Whether it is Snake, Roric, or anyone else in the back. I have welcomed any challenge before and have yet to get anything that I have turned down. I will not back down from anyone, if I am feared of them or not for that matter. So what will I do if they want to physically teach me a lesson? I will do what I do any other time...fight my battle and try to come out on top. Even if I were to lose, they could not seriously think it would be that easy to keep me quiet now could they? Kelsia gave a soft chuckle and her tone surprisingly was still calm and collected as it was throughout the whole interview thus far.
"Have you ever woken up in the middle of the night with the feeling that a group of people were standing over your bed?"
"Actually that did happen once before. There was a group of people standing there too. It was years ago on a birthday. I woke and my brothers and boys were standing there waiting for me to wake up. Really scared me halfway to hell there for a second. Not a good sight to wake to. More so seeing everything they put me through growing up."
"What exactly did they put you through?"
"Typical brothers really Charles. They wanted me to be tough, so they gave me hell. Good to see that it worked."
"When you teamed up with Roric there was a point in the match where Roric and Aurora were in the ring and Roric would not attack her. I know that must have made you mad. He could have taken her out possibly then and there while her back was turned and she tried to get Snakes attention. Do you have any words for him?"
"I know what answer you want to hear, and sadly it will not be the one you get. I have nothing bad to say to Roric about it. He said from the beginning that he was not comfortable getting into the ring with Aurora. The first time around they did their thing. Second time around he wanted to get Snake, but that was not able to happen. He did what he was comfortable with. I can't be mad about that. He told me he would let me have Aurora and he would take care of Snake that was the bottom line in that match."
"Another question submitted by the fans was this. Do you have a fear of tin openers, if not, what is your phobia? I personally would like to know the answer to that one. What is Kelsia Vector afraid of?"
"I am not afraid of tin openers for starters. As for what I am afraid of..." Kelsia got quiet for a moment and her fingers interlocked in her lap. Thumbs went to circle one another and it was obvious this was one question that she would rather have passed, but she said she would answer them all and she was not about to turn back now. "Charles, if the fans need to know, I am afraid of men. Not just any specific man, more so a man who would lay his hand upon me. That is my only fear and I would like to keep it at that and not talk more about it."
"Kelsia Vector afraid of men? Hold on there, you are surrounded by men all the time, including Tony and Adrean... who if I recall have both put their hands on you at one point or another holding you back... So is it a man that would strike at you that you are referring to, or a man who is stronger then you in general?"
Of course he had a smile on his face, he was not going to let the topic die down just yet and that much was obvious. Kelsia seemed to be taking deep breaths trying to keep her cool after all he was doing the one thing she asked him not to do and that was keep going with the subject. Of course she knew him well enough to think he would just let it go that easily. Her hands moved to the side of her thighs and gripped them tightly before relaxing once more.
"Seeing as you must know, it’s a man that is stronger then me. Someone who can over power me...hold me back... next question Yan"
"Okay, okay. So next question is what is with all the pet names that you have for the others? Are you a pan sexual or are you just friendly?"
"We all know I am not just friendly, so that is out of the question. As for the response to that question, you might be able to say I am pan sexual. In a sense at least. Guess if you really want to know the answer you will just have to continue to pay attention to ACW and see."
"Next question then, and remember they came from the fans. Is there anything that would scare, force or otherwise change you from being an utter, loud mouthed wench into a more respectful, subdued person?"
"Don't worry Yan, that question had too many words in it that you would not have the nerve to say to me so I know it was not you asking it. As for a response to it, there is nothing that will scare or force me from being who I am. If you don't like it then don't watch me. I could care less in that regard."Kelsia laughed softly.
"Okay then, your death wish, not mine. These last few weeks you have been different, why the change in your attitude?"
"Like I said already, when it comes my attitude the change is because I want to make sure my career is not over before it starts. If anyone has a problem then it’s just that... their problem."
"If a six foot clown in stiletto heels bearing a box of chocolates asks you to join him in a waltz would you smack him over the head with a wet haddock or would you choose a slice of old cheese?"
"Can't I just take the waltz offer that was made?" Kelsia shook her head laughing wondering what some of these people were thinking when asking these questions.
What do you think was the reason behind Aurora pleading for Snake not to hurt you?"
"I honestly do not know the answer to that. All I can say is I thank her for it, and she knows I am sorry for everything I have said and done up until now. It shocked her to even hear what I had to say to her the other night, and it was probably a bad time to go and tell her during a match, but none the less, she knows where I stand now."
"Anyway...There have been some issues arising within KTA, what is going on with all of that?"
"There is nothing going on with us, we have our problems that might arise at times, but we have gotten through it all so no worries about any of that."
"Are you so sure that everything is okay Kelsia? I mean after all you have not heard from Adrean or Tony in some time now... How about we show you a bit of footage that we happened to come across and see if you still have the same response....”
Footage started to roll and the viewers would see a conversation that happened last week after Kelsia had gotten out of the hospital....
Kelsia dialed the number she wanted as she stepped out of the hospital. Tony and Adrean got into the car and Kelsia went into the back seat and placed her bag down as the phone was ringing on her end. Her free hand went to close the door and she was not paying much mind to the fact that Tony had yet to pull off.
Sitting in the illuminated theater where his promo had taken place, aired on both UWA and ACW television earlier in the day, he once more felt his phone buzz in his pocket...but this time with the harsh strains of "Down with the Sickness" rather than cold. Caught by surprise, he paused briefly before taking up the phone. "Kelsia...glad you're awake."He did sound genuine...but his voice was breathy and sounded blocked. Every word felt like a strain, and not because of his feelings.
"Yeah, thanks." She said with a small laugh coming from her. "You are okay then I am guessing?" She had yet to see his promo that aired on ACW TV so she had no idea of the sever ness of his injuries. Relaxing back in the seat of the car she was quiet for a second before speaking once more. "I'm sorry Roric, for tagging myself in mid match. I know I said I would stay out of the way." Kelsia still being nice, calling Roric after their match was already through? What was going on here?
"It was the heat of the moment...and after what he did to your friends, could you really be blamed? I certainly don't blame you. No...I blame myself for not living up to my word...again."
Genuine remorse...she probably didn't expect that from him, but she'd caught him at an intensely-transitional, incredibly lucid moment. She'd get more truth out of him than she wanted if she weren't careful.
"And me...no...I'm not all right. I was taken to the past again. Can't say I enjoy the taste the second time any more than the first." He paused for a moment, realizing she wouldn't know what that meant, then took a slow, ragged breath.
"Might be that the promo's already up on ACW TV if you want to have a look...though it has more to do with the tournament in the UWA than anything...'at home'."
"Yes, it was heat of the moment and I know you understand. But you lived up to your word; you had my back through it all. While you were up and able, you stopped Snake from getting to me. He went for the Injection and that could have been the end of me there, but it was you that stopped him Roric... you have to know that." She was being sincere in her words, and it was heard in her tone. "I forgot you were in the tournament, that explains why you have no match this week.” Yes she had checked. "Good luck with that Roric."
"I figure I'll need luck and more...but thank you. The question is...how are you? Obviously injured, but not badly I hope." He did feel a little weight alleviated from him thanks to the fact that she was up and about...but the more negative feelings swirling in him, none of which had to do with her or her actions...kept him from savoring that.
"I am doing okay, a concussion is all, just got out of the hospital, now got to get myself ready for next week. I don't want to keep you; I know you must have a lot going on with the tournament. Since we were partners, I figured I would check on you and make sure things were at least fair with you." She laughed softly as she continued. "Don't get used to me being nice now; after all we might meet in the ring again on opposite sides."
"That's the nature of the business, Kelsia. And I wish you luck in your match this coming Sunday. You've beaten her once...and you can do it again." No, he wouldn't hold her being herself against her. What kind of honest person would do that? The more he spoke, the harder the words were to get out, though. He really needed to find somewhere to sleep... "Just give that concussion a bit of time to settle before you start hitting the weights again, all right?"
"You should know me enough by now just from my airings; I am too stubborn to relax. You on the other hand sound like you need it." Adrean and Tony were listening in on the conversation and Kelsia was too busy talking to even take notice to it. "ACW will be waiting for your return in time for your championship match at Trial by Honor; hopefully you will be able to give Snake what he has coming to him. Hell, give him some for me while you’re at it." She realized she was rambling now. "Good luck again in the tournament, hopefully St. Paul Minnesota treats you well. Again, sorry to bother you Roric. Take care of yourself."
"No bother. Snake will get what he...needs...rather than what he deserves. I still have to figure out how to do that, though." He sighed softly, sounded wholly unsure of himself, unlike the Roric everyone knew. But it passed within the space of a breath. "And thank you. You take care also."
"Will do Roric and I know you will figure out what you need to do in time." With that she hung up the phone then looked to Tony and Adrean wondering what the hell they were still doing sitting outside the hospital. "Wow, were you seriously just sitting there listening to my conversation?" Kelsia sat there looking at the two of them before looking out the window not sure what to make of them anymore. They were thinking the same thing.
It was a long and quiet ride home and once they pulled up Kelsia got out of the car. Tony and Adrean just sat there and both had forgotten the camera was always running. "I don't like what has come over her. She has lost her edge, her fire, and I know it has to do with Roric. Teaming with him last week changed her. She went to meet him alone each time and god only knows what happened. I will be damned if that want to be pretty boy is going to step in for one week and change everything."
"You really think this will last? Why not let me have a talk with her first and see what I can find out? Then, if anything we will handle business."
Tony nodded for Adrean to go with Kelsia and see what he could find out. "Imma stop by the crib, call me and let me know wissup!"
Adrean went and got out of the car and watched as Tony headed off. He would find out what happened while she was with Roric. One way or another it had to end, and now. Heading into her place he walked towards the kitchen where she was and seeing she was on the phone once more he went and sat by her computer. Seeing her back to him he set the camera on her computer up so it would record what was going on. Turning back around he sat there waiting as she finished her conversation and hung up. Turning around she came and sat at the table looking at him hard because she was still pissed over the comments he had made at the hospital.
"Kels, I know you don't see where we are coming from, but we are worried about you. Tell me what happened last week."
"Are you serious? Roric and I were training all week, I didn't want you and Tony around because I wanted to make sure there were no other chances for other sh*t to happen. I wanted you and him away because I knew if you were there you would come to the ring because neither of you will let what Snake did go, while I can not blame you, there is a time and a place for that and its not during my match."
"So why all the niceness with Roric now? Why the conversation making sure he is okay? What is up with you?"
Kelsia sighed and got up out of the chair, her hands coming on the table hard she glared at him."Adrean I would expect this from Tony but not you. If you have to know then I was being nice to him because he was my partner. He got hurt while he was MY partner, what about that don't you understand? Nothing happened last week, Roric and I talked about the match, we trained and that was it. I watched what I said because I knew I needed him in my corner. Now because I am not trash talking him everything is coming back to me? What the hell is wrong with you? You know what, I don’t even care. Go do your thing elsewhere Adrean because I don’t need this sh*t no more. Not now. I'm going to lie down, let yourself out." Kelsia was out of view as she walked off and headed to do just as she said, sleep.
Adrean sat there and called up Tony. "Look man, she swears its nothing. I don't buy it, pick me up and let’s get this going. We know where to go, and if we are not back in time by Sunday then she will understand. She will see why this is being done, it needs to be done. I will be damned if he is going to come in and warp her mind."
Something was said on the other end that was not picked up but it had Adrean agreeing to it. "Meet you out front." With that he turned and shut his phone before turning the camera off and heading out. Before he left he went and wrote a note, letting Kels know they will see her on Sunday, they had things to do until then.
As the footage stopped playing Kelsia was in a state of shock and Charles seemed to be grinning ear to ear.
"So Kelsia, do you still think there is nothing going on within KTA?"
"I'm sorry, interview is over, I have to go."
She got up and started to walk towards the door and one little phrase stopped her in her tracks. "Kelsia Vector has gone soft. You heard it all right here. Thank you for watching and good......" Before he could finish his sentence Kelsia's fist had connected with his jaw sending him flying off the chair and down to the floor. "How is that for going soft you jacka**?"
Kelsia shook her head and headed out of the room... the camera paned down to a fallen Yan before cutting.
No sooner did the camera start running did the focus turn from Charles Yan and towards the door, at the
With a small nod from her, Yan went and started them off so they could get into this right away, after all he planned on drilling her and hard. "Welcome ACW fans for this exclusive one on one with our guest of honor, Kelsia Vector. I have left it to you the fans to come up with questions that you wanted to hear Ms Vector answer and I am sure this will be an eventful day for us all. Welcome Kelsia, are you ready for what's in store for you today?" He asked turning from the camera and towards her now. Kelsia was sitting up with great posture as it seemed she would be here for some time. A small was smile on her face showing some of those pearly whites within. "Charles, I am as ready as I will ever be. It would have helped if you would have let me catch a glimpse of the questions before I arrived, but I guess you would rather see my reaction when first hearing them now wouldn't you?"
A smile came across the face of Yan and he got right to it. The room in itself was set to catch the voices within so no matter what he said, or she said, it would be picked up, that was something he had not warned Kelsia about, but he did say it was a tell all. Every women for herself right? "Well Ms Vector, you have been with ACW for four months now, and I must admit, we have seen much come from you, many changes indeed. To start, tell me a little something about each of your matches here to date. Your first match here in ACW, it was against Evelyn Blackwell, and what did you do to prepare yourself for in that match?"
Kelsia could tell right now that it was going to be a long day, but she was okay with that. This was a chance for her to talk without all the hostility and she was glad for that much. "How did I prepare? I went and worked out as I normally would. The fact that it was against another newcomer did not help matters because I had no idea what she was capable of. When it comes to my first match here, I must say I was disappointed in my opponent. Evelyn had not said word one all week, she just assumed she would come in and take me out. I am sorry, but as she seen that was not the case. I don't care if they have something to say or not, just make an appearance. It is in the contract to make appearances on ACW TV each week. Why bother signing a contract if you are not going to follow it? I mean the girl might have had a chance, might have even been good competition but she seemed to have dropped off the face of the earth once I was done with her didn't she? Guess she realized that she was not made out for the business. Evelyn, wherever you are, and good luck with whatever you do."
"Well that was something we are not used to hearing. Kelsia Vector wishing someone luck? Next match, you were in a match with Robin Mayfair the following week, thoughts on that match?"
Kelsia seemed to
Yan seemed to be waiting for the moment when Kelsia would lose it, and it seemed to be irritating him that she was not getting to that point. The whole reason he wanted a tell all was to let her have at everyone and here she was being nice about it all, not really what he had in mind. "Yes no doubt the first loss of your career, the first of many at that, and it was against Robin Mayfair." It was not really a question but a statement trying to bring the fire in Kelsia back out once more. "Yes, it was the first loss in a line of losses, but with such a great women's division, it is no wonder I was taken to the mat and pinned so many times."
"The following week you encountered two competitors who had their eyes on you from the moment you entered. Both you have come to know well in the ring, one more so then the other, but great matches none the less. Aurelei and Alexa in a three way battle. That week you seemed to change and the fire within you started to burn. Your thoughts on that match and what caused all the fire within to come forth?" Yan sat back watching her with a smirk on his face knowing that the mention of Alexa and Aurelei would definitely bring that fire back.
"Yes, that week, who could forget it? That was the start of an on going feud with Alexa and me."Kelsia's leg seemed to rock back and forth as she sat there in silence for a moment. "Alexa was right, I did let her comments get to me. She was only trying to point things out to me, and yes if my words were twisted around it was for a reason. Since then I have tried to change what I say so that my words are not as easily turned on me. Aurelei did the same, she seen me feeding off everything that Alexa was saying so why not go and do the same. It worked, Aurelei picked up the win and that's all there was too it."
"But what about the comment you made when you said Alexa was the reason you lost the match because she did not break the pin?"
"Yes I did say that. I did not think before I spoke. Alexa was not to blame, I was. I could have lifted my shoulder or kicked out but I failed to do so." Once more he failed to light the fire back up and he was not sure what would get her going again, maybe one of the questions from the viewers would do it? He would have to wait till he got there. Kelsia reached for a bottle of water that was sitting on the table between them and her right hand twisted the cap from it. Left hand lifted to pour some of the contents into her mouth and let it go down her throat before closing it once more and placing it back on the table.
"So Kelsia, the following week you were against Aurelei and Alexa, but this time it was a tag team match, and your partner was Robin, the same person you went and got pinned by for your first loss. So your thought's on the match as well as on teaming with Robin?"
Kelsia cleared her throat and readjusted herself in the seat uncrossing her legs and letting them both rest on the floor. "Teaming with Robin was an experience. She was the first one to pin me here in ACW but none the less she was a great partner. We both went and fought the team of Obsession and we came up short. I would love to be able to get into the ring with Robin again, as I already said, either in a singles match or a tag team match. Alexa and Aurelei came at me again that week, but it was nothing that I did not warrant."
"Another win was in the works for you when you went into the fatal four way match against Robin Mayfair, Alexa Rose, and Aurora Jansen, who you had never been in the ring with before. Not only did you pick up that win, but it had you as the number one contender for the women's championship title. Can we have your thoughts leading up to that night as well as your thoughts on winning the match if you will?"
"Being in a match for the number one contender ship had me training harder that week. Not only was it a match to decide who would be facing Aurelei Phoenix for the women's championship title but it was a match with three others who wanted the shot as much as I did. Yes, I said I didn't care about winning the belt, and to an extent I didn't. Robin, Alexa and Aurora all put up a great fight to win the match but I happened to be the one to pick up the win that night. Yes I had my foot on the ropes to pick up the win, but it's not my fault the referee could not see that from his position. Everyone has done that a time or two, and if they say they haven't I am sure they are lying." Kelsia laughed softy knowing that she would be one of those that if asked at any other time she would probably deny having done such a thing.
"The following week you had your shot at Aurelei and came up short to win the title, what do you think is the reason for that?"
"Revelation, yes how could I forget it? I highly doubt anyone would forget their first time going through an announce table. Aurelei is a great competitor, her reign as the Women's Champion shows that much. She is not someone to take lightly at all. I did not take her lightly as everyone seen, but once more I fell short of the win."
"Fuel was set to the fire and because of it you wound up in a match with Ryan Stevens as your tag team partner. Your opponents to no surprise were Alexa Rose, who you had confrontations with in the past, and present, as well as someone who had an outing with your partner, Cole Blaze. What was it like working with your partner, and what caused the brawl in the back?"
"As far as what lead to that match up, as everyone seen, after I lost to Aurelei, Alexa and I got into it in the back. Cole Blaze and Alexa's posse pulled her away, while Tony and Adrean pulled me away. Snake happened to walk by in time to see enough and call for a match. As for Ryan Stevens being my partner, I have nothing bad to say about that, we worked well together and it was an experience I will not forget. The brawl before the match was caused because Alexa and I are not ones to back down at all, because of us bumping into one another on our way to the ring and our words going back and forth, we missed our entrances so we just had at it there. Our partners did not like that very much as everyone seen when they came in the back and drug us down to the ring after prying us apart and almost getting themselves knocked out in the process of us wanting to go at one another. There are times when situations arise and you just take action. That was one of those times.'
"Now two weeks in a row we seen Aurora Jansen and yourself going against one another, even with back to back matches it was something different each time. Where did all the fuel come for that fire?"
"Yan, I said some things that got Aurora pissed, I even set up a funeral for her. I can see why she despises me so much. I have led everyone to believe that Aurora Jansen and Roric Draygon had something going on between them when I myself know that right now it is nothing but a friendship. I can see there are feelings on both ends, and maybe if the circumstances were different there might be something there, but I was in the wrong to open up about anything like that. It was not my place and everything that happened because of it I put on myself. I have come into ACW and ran my mouth almost from day one. I have stepped on many toes and that is something I will have to deal with. So once more, it was my fault, and I will admit to it."
Yan was completely confused now. Kelsia was blaming herself for others actions as well as her own? Something was not right. Maybe her concussion was worse then they had thought? He shook his head but continued on. "Alexa Rose and Kelsia Vector in a street fight. What caused you to attack Adrean and Tony as they came out to help you?"
Kelsia canted her head to the side before bringing her hand up to lay across her stomach and straighten up once more. "As far as my attacking Tony and Adrean are concerned, I told them both not to come out to the match. They both knew where my state of mind was at. I warned them both that I was not going to deal with anything like that, and they came out and tried to interfere after I asked them to stay in the back. For every action there is a reaction, they knew they were going to piss me off by coming out there and they did it anyway. They dealt with the consequences, and we are all fine now."
"What about yourself and Alexa, and the match in general? I know you and Alexa have so much going on with the two of you. How did it feel to win against someone you hate so much?"
"Alexa and I put our bodies on the line like never before, at least on my end. We gave the fans a fight that they will not forget. I don't regret anything. It was an amazing night and I would do it all over again just for the fans. Alexa and I might have our problems, but the problems we have are my fault are they not? She is a great wrestler, and she puts it all out there in the ring. Every time I am in the ring with her it makes me work that much harder because she is such a great wrestler!"
Yan did not believe that statement what so ever, but he would get to that later on. Right now he had a few more matches to get through and once they were done then he could get to the nitty gritty of it all, and hopefully that fire would burn once more. "Aurelei and Xena vs. Aurora and yourself, what were your thoughts when you seen you were going to be tagging with the Ghost? That week we all seen a change in you, at one point you and Aurora were actually getting along... what changed that? "
Kelsia rolled her neck side to side getting a few kinks out. "Well I was shocked for one thing, and I tried to work with Aurora despite everything. When I seen Snake come out to the ring, I didn't know what to expect. He had over turned one of the matches that Aurora and I were in and then he was at ringside there, I had to watch myself and I did what I had to do to get the match done and over with quickly so I could get out of a situation I was uncomfortable with."
"I guess next you are going to tell me that Aurora and Snakes actions when they came to your locker room after the show were warranted as well?"
"Actually yes, it was. Aurora came to my locker room to confront me and I think there was no problem with that. I would have done the same thing. Snake happened to follow her back to make sure things were okay. When things got out of hand Snake took things into his own hands. Tony and Adrean had nothing to do with it so yes, Snake kept them out of the equation. I do not agree with the way he did it, but he did what he felt was right."
"Due to everything that had been going on the following weeks match was set up, Kelsia Vector and Roric Draygon vs. 'The Fanged Entity' Snake and his partner Aurora Jansen. More then anything, we all seen things change that week. You showed a whole other side to you and I believe we all saw fear in you. Why did you change your strategy going into that match?"
"I guess you have not been paying much attention. I said that week on air that the reason I was that way was due to my stepping on everyone's toes in the business. I had gotten on my partners bad side, as well as both of my opponents. If I would have continued with running my mouth that week then I would not be sitting here talking to you now and I know that for a fact. Even the little I did have to say got me a concussion in that match. Snake could have destroyed me more then he did. More could have happened, but it didn't, for that I am grateful."
"That match had ended due to disqualification. You and Roric were both laid out, and on both occasions, it was Aurora asking Snake not to hurt you or Roric...your thoughts on what was going on in both of their minds?"
Kelsia's hand seemed to creep up to the back of her head and neck
Yan's foot started tapping on the floor and the click of his shoe connecting with the floor could not be heard as the carpet muffled the sound. "Alexa Rose and Kelsia Vector met once more. You had changed during your airings through the week what can you tell us about that?"
"I did not change so much as just show another side of me. Kelsia Vector is not always the way most are used to seeing me lately. Like I said, the fire came out, but I am letting it go for now. Hopefully no one will fire me up that much again, but that does not mean for a second that I am going soft."
"Now in a few short days away it will be Aurora vs. Kelsia for the Women's Championship title. What are your predictions for this match?"
"As far as the Women's title match is concerned we will all have to wait and see what will happen when it gets here. I have been training hard, and I know Aurora has as well. Its a matter of who wants it more. I know Aurora is not ready to lose the title, but at the same time, I am ready to have it around my waist."
Yan was moving in his seat, getting irritated or uncomfortable? Only he knew that answer. He was quiet for a moment then spoke up again. "Okay, now where to start? Before we get to the series of questions that were sent into us, there was one more question that had many parts to it. Your opinion on each of the Superstars in ACW... I will read off a list, then just throw your answers out there so we can get to the next series of questions." Yan seemed to think where he wanted to start, and Kelsia had a feeling he would try even harder to get under her skin once more. "I guess I should start off with your opponent this weekend. Aurora Jansen."
"There is not much that I have not said already. She is a great wrestler, most of them are. Hell, when she and I teamed together we cleared the air, and if it was not for my insecurities with Snake being at ring side, and me turning my back on her for it... I think we would be under much better grounds then we currently are. All the drama between us came when I started the rumor about her and Roric being more then friends. Again, I repeat, that is not the case. Why everyone would go and believe me just because I said it, I can't answer that, but I am telling you all now, they are just friends. They say it, so I will believe it."
"Okay, since you mentioned him, Roric Draygon."
"Again, Roric is another great wrestler and more so he is a nice person to have in your corner. I was iffy having him in my corner with stepping on his toes already but we cleared the air, if even just for that match. As everyone seen, we worked well together. He asked me to stay out of his way, and but for a spur of the moment tag, I did. He is the type of person that anyone can just walk up to and ask advice, and for the most part, he will give it. He could have turned on me, but he stood by my side that night, and for that I respect him."
"Never thought I would see the day when you would say you respected anyone in this business let along Roric Draygon."
"You see, no matter how much my mouth has run thus far, I do have respect for every person in the locker room. You think it’s easy for us going out there day in and day out and putting our bodies on the line? It’s anything but that Charles. If I remember correctly you were tossed though a table by Roric. Did that not hurt? Exactly! It did. This is not an easy sport, but we get out there and do our thing because we love the business. Anyone who gets into this business should be respected. We are risking our lives at times for the fans. That is why the fans love the sport... its not all fun and games, there are real people here and real injuries occur. Remember that next time you want to question anything Yan, remember how it felt when you went though that table... this is what we live for...and some even die for."
Yan seemed to be in a state of shock.Where was Kelsia Vector and how could he get her back? "Okay then, moving on. Alexa Rose.
"Alexa is by far the greatest competitor I have gotten in the ring with so far. No matter how much I prepare she will catch me off guard. Not saying that the others don't but Alexa and I have been in the ring many a time before. She is the type that will give criticism to let you know where you need work, and as long as one does not take it the wrong way, and they listen to her, they will go far in the business. I will tell you one thing, never underestimate her. She is a beast in the ring, and I mean that with all due respect."
“The Fanged Entity Snake?"
"Snake, he is amazing. The way he sits there getting into everyone's head. He knows what to do to get in the ring and defeat his opponents with no questions asked about that. Yes he has losses like everyone else, but his wins over take them by far. When I was in the ring with him, I was scared; he is not someone to take lightly at all!"
"The team of Razors Edge, Brian and Kyle Harris"
"They have proven to be a great team here in ACW so far. They are coming in and already giving the other tag teams, and single competitors a run for their money. If they keep the work going like they have been I am sure that they will have the tag titles around their waist soon enough."
"Hiashi?"
"Like he said, he is not one to run his mouth. He is hear to teach those needing a lesson just that. I hope to never cross paths with him, but anything goes in this business."
"Moshpit, what are your thoughts of him?"
"He reminds me of myself really. Well in a sense he does. He has come in and ran his mouth just as much as I have, and it's starting to catch up with him...whether he can handle it or not is a different story. He has showed that he can come into the ring and defeat his opponents, but his mouth will catch up with him just as my own did with me."
"I think you are being too nice with many of them, How about the team of Hyena and Mike Voland?"
"Everyone has their own opinions Yan, and the fans are asking for mine here not your own. As far as Voland and Hyena are concerned they are another set of people I don't want to cross paths with if I can help it. Both are great wrestlers individually as well as a team. They have come down and gotten in the way of many in this business, and to top it off, at one point they were under Snakes wing. Anyone who has been on the same side as Snake is not someone to take lightly."
"Lucien Fell."
"Old man or not he has continued to show that he belongs here in ACW. No matter whom he comes to face in the ring there is no easy win from his opponents that might pick one up on him. He continues to show us all that he is not going anywhere anytime soon."
Yan seemed to just want to get this part done and over with, actually it seemed his whole reason behind the interview was crashing down on his and he was receiving a slap across the face for it. He did not want all these nice answers. When he planned the tell all he was sure it would have been something juicy, but instead he was getting a soft and collected Kelsia.
"Cole Blaze?"
"When he was here he was a great competitor, even while I was in the ring with him. It is sad that he is not with us right now. Lucky for him, and for us, he is fighting and working to get back to us as soon as he can. Yes I know I said I could care less that he was out, but that is one less competitor in the ring. I will not be happy until I have been in the ring against every great competitor in this business."
"Daisy"
"Ashley Davis has come in and right away went against the team of Obsession. Not only did she make it out alive but she did it with a partner that was new to the business as well. She seems to have her head on straight but it’s only a matter of time to see if it will stay that way."
"Cynthia Cross was the partner she had that you were referring to, thoughts on her?"
"Cynthia is another one who is of great potential in this business. Like I said, she went against Obsession in her first match. So far she has not backed down and she does not seem the type to do it either. She will be great in this business."
"Robin Mayfair."
"Yes, the women that broke my cherry here in ACW. A great competitor. Hands down someone I am glad to see back once more. I hope I have the opportunity to get into the ring with her again. Not only is she a great competitor in the women's division but she has branched out and went against the men one on one and came out a champion. Who can argue with competition like that? "
"Aurelei Phoenix?"
"Yes, Aurelei Phoenix, she is another great competitor in this business. Four months as the women's champion before she was defeated. Not many can hold a belt for so long with everything that was going on around and to them. She is a woman of great strength, drive and so much more. Never one to let you down and that is a plus, as we all seen this past week, she is not someone to take lightly either."
"Nothing bad to say even though she cost you the win, drove her foot into your head and then went for a chair shot?"
“Something is telling me you want me to get mad here Charles. Bottom line is this. Like I said already, I did plenty to warrant attacks from many in the back. As far as her costing me the win goes, there is no way to say if I would have won that match or not. For all we know Alexa would have been coming at me and planting me to the mat herself. Things happen that we can not control."
Yan was irritated with that response and it showed from the scowl on his face. "Xena Katya Stratus"
"I have not really seen much from her but what I seen was enough. She is good in the ring.Just watch out for the kisses that might fly your way in the middle of a match. She can get in the heads of any just as Snake can.
"Lastly, Uria Kane."
"Great competitor, its sad that his temper got the best of him, but he will be back with us all soon enough.
Seemed like she didn't want to really talk anymore. Yan looked towards the camera and spoke once more. "We are going to cut to a short commercial break then we will be back with more getting to know Kelsia Vector."
The camera cut the feed while the commercial aired and Kelsia grabbed that bottle of water once more and finished more then half of what was left before placing it back once more. Yan had gotten up and walked away in frustration. Kelsia merely kept a smile on her face... was she intentionally being nice this whole time to mess with everyone's heads? Yan came back over and sat down once more grabbing the card and looking over the questions that he had yet to ask. Kelsia crossed her left leg over her right this time around and her hand came to brush through her hair making sure it was still in tact as the camera man showed they were going back on air in three, two... one...
"Welcome back ACW viewers. We have a few more questions to ask the number one contender and like she promised she has not been skipping out on anything. Now Kelsia, the viewers have spoken, and one thing that was on many minds was this... in your number one contenders match the first time around. After defeating everyone you came back and hit Alexa with a steal pipe! What was the reason for using a pipe of all things, the significance of it if you will?"
"Think about that one. The term pipe has many definitions behind it. One of those definitions is that it is the eruptive channel opening into the crater of a volcano. When I got here Alexa's words set me off. They opened me up like a volcano and finally I burst. The pipe was enough to do the damage I needed it to do at the time, as well as get some attention to the one who had gotten me to waken up and fast."
Yan nodded as she spoke and looked at the card once more. "You already stated that you started the rumor behind Aurora and Roric being more then just friends. The fans want to know why you did it, and also your thoughts on others in the business buying it."
"Yes, I started the whole thing between Aurora and Roric, why did I do it? Simple really. I had to get under my opponents skin. Aurora was my opponent and the best way to get to her was to say that her friend, who is a taken man, was more then a friend to her. While I did get under her skin, I was not thinking of the others who would have been offended by the remark as well. Aurelei and Roric of course were in the mix. I am glad to see that things are getting better for them now. As for others buying into what I said, I can not help that. If you pay attention some things that were said by all parties could be questioned, so it's still a mystery."
"Understandable. I agree that there might be something else going on there that has not come into the open just yet but only time will tell. Anyway, next question. Do you like horses?"
"Actually yes I do. Horses are actually my most liked animal. I go riding at times and have done so since I was a young girl. My step sister has a stable actually and she trains horses there so I have lucked out when it came to that. It gave me a chance not only to ride, but to learn to train and groom them as well."
"You, grooming horses? Not something I can picture, however next question... How do you feel about bunny rabbits?"
Kelsia found herself laughing as she heard the question. T'was not the question that was funny but hearing Yan saying bunny rabbits instead of just rabbits. Gaining her composure once more she reached for the water and after uncapping it she took another long sip before twisting the cap back on and setting it down once more. "I love animals all in the same really. Whether it is a rascally rabbit, a horse, or anything else it does not matter."
"Okay so from the sounds of it you are all for animals, I guess it is fair to say that Kelsia Vector is against fur then?"
"I personally will not be caught wearing or buying anything of the sort. What others do is their own business. I am not going to turn this interview into a debate so I am going to leave it at that.
Kelsia stretched her arms out in front of her before over her head. She did not care that she was being interviewed; after all she had been sitting here for quite some time now so it was only natural that she needed to stretch out here and there. Her hands came to rest by her sides once more, on the arms of the chair of course and she awaited the next question.
"When The Fanged Entity Snake was the General Manager he caught you and Alexa in the back having a little show down with one another. He warned you both right then and there to cut it out with that or you would regret it. It seems like since then you have done nothing but try to get under his skin. You disobeyed his orders and continued the very next week actually with another bout in the back as well as having plenty of words with him during your airings. Why is it you continue to irk him?"
"Why do I continue to irk Snake? He is a tough person; I know that, as does everyone else. But for someone to try to stand there and tell me not to do something or else... That does not work with me. If I have something to say to someone I will say it. If I want to go at someone, I will do that as well. No one other then my mother has ever stopped me from doing something. The fact that he asked it not to happen only made me want to get into confrontations that much more. Warning for the future, if you want me to not do something... don't bring it to my attention. It will only make me want to do it even more so.
"Next question is along the same lines. What are you going to do when you finally push one like Snake or Roric over the edge and they decide to physically teach you a lesson? I enjoyed when that question was asked and I am sure the viewers would love to hear what you have to say to that one."
Kelsia smiled softly hearing the question and her hands came to fold across her stomach before she went to respond. "If someone feels they need to physically teach me a lesson then so is it. Whether it is Snake, Roric, or anyone else in the back. I have welcomed any challenge before and have yet to get anything that I have turned down. I will not back down from anyone, if I am feared of them or not for that matter. So what will I do if they want to physically teach me a lesson? I will do what I do any other time...fight my battle and try to come out on top. Even if I were to lose, they could not seriously think it would be that easy to keep me quiet now could they? Kelsia gave a soft chuckle and her tone surprisingly was still calm and collected as it was throughout the whole interview thus far.
"Have you ever woken up in the middle of the night with the feeling that a group of people were standing over your bed?"
"Actually that did happen once before. There was a group of people standing there too. It was years ago on a birthday. I woke and my brothers and boys were standing there waiting for me to wake up. Really scared me halfway to hell there for a second. Not a good sight to wake to. More so seeing everything they put me through growing up."
"What exactly did they put you through?"
"Typical brothers really Charles. They wanted me to be tough, so they gave me hell. Good to see that it worked."
"When you teamed up with Roric there was a point in the match where Roric and Aurora were in the ring and Roric would not attack her. I know that must have made you mad. He could have taken her out possibly then and there while her back was turned and she tried to get Snakes attention. Do you have any words for him?"
"I know what answer you want to hear, and sadly it will not be the one you get. I have nothing bad to say to Roric about it. He said from the beginning that he was not comfortable getting into the ring with Aurora. The first time around they did their thing. Second time around he wanted to get Snake, but that was not able to happen. He did what he was comfortable with. I can't be mad about that. He told me he would let me have Aurora and he would take care of Snake that was the bottom line in that match."
"Another question submitted by the fans was this. Do you have a fear of tin openers, if not, what is your phobia? I personally would like to know the answer to that one. What is Kelsia Vector afraid of?"
"I am not afraid of tin openers for starters. As for what I am afraid of..." Kelsia got quiet for a moment and her fingers interlocked in her lap. Thumbs went to circle one another and it was obvious this was one question that she would rather have passed, but she said she would answer them all and she was not about to turn back now. "Charles, if the fans need to know, I am afraid of men. Not just any specific man, more so a man who would lay his hand upon me. That is my only fear and I would like to keep it at that and not talk more about it."
"Kelsia Vector afraid of men? Hold on there, you are surrounded by men all the time, including Tony and Adrean... who if I recall have both put their hands on you at one point or another holding you back... So is it a man that would strike at you that you are referring to, or a man who is stronger then you in general?"
Of course he had a smile on his face, he was not going to let the topic die down just yet and that much was obvious. Kelsia seemed to be taking deep breaths trying to keep her cool after all he was doing the one thing she asked him not to do and that was keep going with the subject. Of course she knew him well enough to think he would just let it go that easily. Her hands moved to the side of her thighs and gripped them tightly before relaxing once more.
"Seeing as you must know, it’s a man that is stronger then me. Someone who can over power me...hold me back... next question Yan"
"Okay, okay. So next question is what is with all the pet names that you have for the others? Are you a pan sexual or are you just friendly?"
"We all know I am not just friendly, so that is out of the question. As for the response to that question, you might be able to say I am pan sexual. In a sense at least. Guess if you really want to know the answer you will just have to continue to pay attention to ACW and see."
"Next question then, and remember they came from the fans. Is there anything that would scare, force or otherwise change you from being an utter, loud mouthed wench into a more respectful, subdued person?"
"Don't worry Yan, that question had too many words in it that you would not have the nerve to say to me so I know it was not you asking it. As for a response to it, there is nothing that will scare or force me from being who I am. If you don't like it then don't watch me. I could care less in that regard."Kelsia laughed softly.
"Okay then, your death wish, not mine. These last few weeks you have been different, why the change in your attitude?"
"Like I said already, when it comes my attitude the change is because I want to make sure my career is not over before it starts. If anyone has a problem then it’s just that... their problem."
"If a six foot clown in stiletto heels bearing a box of chocolates asks you to join him in a waltz would you smack him over the head with a wet haddock or would you choose a slice of old cheese?"
"Can't I just take the waltz offer that was made?" Kelsia shook her head laughing wondering what some of these people were thinking when asking these questions.
What do you think was the reason behind Aurora pleading for Snake not to hurt you?"
"I honestly do not know the answer to that. All I can say is I thank her for it, and she knows I am sorry for everything I have said and done up until now. It shocked her to even hear what I had to say to her the other night, and it was probably a bad time to go and tell her during a match, but none the less, she knows where I stand now."
"Anyway...There have been some issues arising within KTA, what is going on with all of that?"
"There is nothing going on with us, we have our problems that might arise at times, but we have gotten through it all so no worries about any of that."
"Are you so sure that everything is okay Kelsia? I mean after all you have not heard from Adrean or Tony in some time now... How about we show you a bit of footage that we happened to come across and see if you still have the same response....”
Footage started to roll and the viewers would see a conversation that happened last week after Kelsia had gotten out of the hospital....
Kelsia dialed the number she wanted as she stepped out of the hospital. Tony and Adrean got into the car and Kelsia went into the back seat and placed her bag down as the phone was ringing on her end. Her free hand went to close the door and she was not paying much mind to the fact that Tony had yet to pull off.
Sitting in the illuminated theater where his promo had taken place, aired on both UWA and ACW television earlier in the day, he once more felt his phone buzz in his pocket...but this time with the harsh strains of "Down with the Sickness" rather than cold. Caught by surprise, he paused briefly before taking up the phone. "Kelsia...glad you're awake."He did sound genuine...but his voice was breathy and sounded blocked. Every word felt like a strain, and not because of his feelings.
"Yeah, thanks." She said with a small laugh coming from her. "You are okay then I am guessing?" She had yet to see his promo that aired on ACW TV so she had no idea of the sever ness of his injuries. Relaxing back in the seat of the car she was quiet for a second before speaking once more. "I'm sorry Roric, for tagging myself in mid match. I know I said I would stay out of the way." Kelsia still being nice, calling Roric after their match was already through? What was going on here?
"It was the heat of the moment...and after what he did to your friends, could you really be blamed? I certainly don't blame you. No...I blame myself for not living up to my word...again."
Genuine remorse...she probably didn't expect that from him, but she'd caught him at an intensely-transitional, incredibly lucid moment. She'd get more truth out of him than she wanted if she weren't careful.
"And me...no...I'm not all right. I was taken to the past again. Can't say I enjoy the taste the second time any more than the first." He paused for a moment, realizing she wouldn't know what that meant, then took a slow, ragged breath.
"Might be that the promo's already up on ACW TV if you want to have a look...though it has more to do with the tournament in the UWA than anything...'at home'."
"Yes, it was heat of the moment and I know you understand. But you lived up to your word; you had my back through it all. While you were up and able, you stopped Snake from getting to me. He went for the Injection and that could have been the end of me there, but it was you that stopped him Roric... you have to know that." She was being sincere in her words, and it was heard in her tone. "I forgot you were in the tournament, that explains why you have no match this week.” Yes she had checked. "Good luck with that Roric."
"I figure I'll need luck and more...but thank you. The question is...how are you? Obviously injured, but not badly I hope." He did feel a little weight alleviated from him thanks to the fact that she was up and about...but the more negative feelings swirling in him, none of which had to do with her or her actions...kept him from savoring that.
"I am doing okay, a concussion is all, just got out of the hospital, now got to get myself ready for next week. I don't want to keep you; I know you must have a lot going on with the tournament. Since we were partners, I figured I would check on you and make sure things were at least fair with you." She laughed softly as she continued. "Don't get used to me being nice now; after all we might meet in the ring again on opposite sides."
"That's the nature of the business, Kelsia. And I wish you luck in your match this coming Sunday. You've beaten her once...and you can do it again." No, he wouldn't hold her being herself against her. What kind of honest person would do that? The more he spoke, the harder the words were to get out, though. He really needed to find somewhere to sleep... "Just give that concussion a bit of time to settle before you start hitting the weights again, all right?"
"You should know me enough by now just from my airings; I am too stubborn to relax. You on the other hand sound like you need it." Adrean and Tony were listening in on the conversation and Kelsia was too busy talking to even take notice to it. "ACW will be waiting for your return in time for your championship match at Trial by Honor; hopefully you will be able to give Snake what he has coming to him. Hell, give him some for me while you’re at it." She realized she was rambling now. "Good luck again in the tournament, hopefully St. Paul Minnesota treats you well. Again, sorry to bother you Roric. Take care of yourself."
"No bother. Snake will get what he...needs...rather than what he deserves. I still have to figure out how to do that, though." He sighed softly, sounded wholly unsure of himself, unlike the Roric everyone knew. But it passed within the space of a breath. "And thank you. You take care also."
"Will do Roric and I know you will figure out what you need to do in time." With that she hung up the phone then looked to Tony and Adrean wondering what the hell they were still doing sitting outside the hospital. "Wow, were you seriously just sitting there listening to my conversation?" Kelsia sat there looking at the two of them before looking out the window not sure what to make of them anymore. They were thinking the same thing.
It was a long and quiet ride home and once they pulled up Kelsia got out of the car. Tony and Adrean just sat there and both had forgotten the camera was always running. "I don't like what has come over her. She has lost her edge, her fire, and I know it has to do with Roric. Teaming with him last week changed her. She went to meet him alone each time and god only knows what happened. I will be damned if that want to be pretty boy is going to step in for one week and change everything."
"You really think this will last? Why not let me have a talk with her first and see what I can find out? Then, if anything we will handle business."
Tony nodded for Adrean to go with Kelsia and see what he could find out. "Imma stop by the crib, call me and let me know wissup!"
Adrean went and got out of the car and watched as Tony headed off. He would find out what happened while she was with Roric. One way or another it had to end, and now. Heading into her place he walked towards the kitchen where she was and seeing she was on the phone once more he went and sat by her computer. Seeing her back to him he set the camera on her computer up so it would record what was going on. Turning back around he sat there waiting as she finished her conversation and hung up. Turning around she came and sat at the table looking at him hard because she was still pissed over the comments he had made at the hospital.
"Kels, I know you don't see where we are coming from, but we are worried about you. Tell me what happened last week."
"Are you serious? Roric and I were training all week, I didn't want you and Tony around because I wanted to make sure there were no other chances for other sh*t to happen. I wanted you and him away because I knew if you were there you would come to the ring because neither of you will let what Snake did go, while I can not blame you, there is a time and a place for that and its not during my match."
"So why all the niceness with Roric now? Why the conversation making sure he is okay? What is up with you?"
Kelsia sighed and got up out of the chair, her hands coming on the table hard she glared at him."Adrean I would expect this from Tony but not you. If you have to know then I was being nice to him because he was my partner. He got hurt while he was MY partner, what about that don't you understand? Nothing happened last week, Roric and I talked about the match, we trained and that was it. I watched what I said because I knew I needed him in my corner. Now because I am not trash talking him everything is coming back to me? What the hell is wrong with you? You know what, I don’t even care. Go do your thing elsewhere Adrean because I don’t need this sh*t no more. Not now. I'm going to lie down, let yourself out." Kelsia was out of view as she walked off and headed to do just as she said, sleep.
Adrean sat there and called up Tony. "Look man, she swears its nothing. I don't buy it, pick me up and let’s get this going. We know where to go, and if we are not back in time by Sunday then she will understand. She will see why this is being done, it needs to be done. I will be damned if he is going to come in and warp her mind."
Something was said on the other end that was not picked up but it had Adrean agreeing to it. "Meet you out front." With that he turned and shut his phone before turning the camera off and heading out. Before he left he went and wrote a note, letting Kels know they will see her on Sunday, they had things to do until then.
As the footage stopped playing Kelsia was in a state of shock and Charles seemed to be grinning ear to ear.
"So Kelsia, do you still think there is nothing going on within KTA?"
"I'm sorry, interview is over, I have to go."
She got up and started to walk towards the door and one little phrase stopped her in her tracks. "Kelsia Vector has gone soft. You heard it all right here. Thank you for watching and good......" Before he could finish his sentence Kelsia's fist had connected with his jaw sending him flying off the chair and down to the floor. "How is that for going soft you jacka**?"
Kelsia shook her head and headed out of the room... the camera paned down to a fallen Yan before cutting.
