A New Mel-lenia

It had been a long road, going through College to start up being a Lawyer, working with a reputable company as their Legal Team and still helping with her services where she can, but... Mel had always had another passion that she waned to pursue and her Mother and Father, plus her two sisters always encouraged her to at least reach out for it. You'd think this would be something like being a Fashion Designer or a Hair Stylist... no, oh no no no no, this was much more physical. The bubbly, sweet and cheerful Brute Tigrex wanted to be a Wrestler. She'd watched it since she was young, her father had gotten tickets and decided it would be an interesting family outing and while Lira had known it was just an act, Tessa being more interested in boxing, Mel was just in awe. The roar of the crowd and all the signs supporting the different wrestlers, then of course the introductions when a wrestler made their way into the ring... Mel was starstruck. She wanted something similar, extravagant, but that wasn't all because as soon as the match started and she was seeing the acrobatic and powerful moves in each match Mel felt something inside her wanting to do it herself.

"What'cha think lovlies?" As the sister trio and the parent Tigrex's made their way back to the car. "Think this'd be a good lil' outing for us all again?"

"It was cool... " Lira said as she hopped into the car, scooting down so Mel could hop between the two older sisters.

"I mean.... if we're gonna do it again, I wouldn't mind. I like whenever we get to go out together." A young Tessa said while she climbed into the car and the two sisters looked at a giggling and giddy Mel sitting between them.

"That was AWESOME! When all the fireworks went off, and she came down the runway, and then the other woman came down with her music playing! Then they were like grabbing each other, and throwing one another around, jumping off the ropes like woosh and and and-!" Mel looking between everyone as her sisters chuckled, their Father laughing happily and Mother looking back over the seat and smiling pleasantly at her.

"Sounds like something sparked my littlest star, if you like it that much don't let it just be a dream sweetie." Patting her daughter on the head with a small giggle from the little Tigrex. "No matter what any of you girls do, I'll always be proud of you and support you."

"Tch, yeah..." Came a snip from Lira, which Sharon ignored rather than argue about.

That was a memory, a long ago memory where she had a dream and as well wanting to be more than just a dream. She finally got her chance too, there was auditions and she was selected for the boot camp. Made it through and tonight... it was her debut night. Lacing up her boots and securing parts of her costume before she stood up and stretched. 'I can't believe it.... tonight I'm actually doing it. This is all more than just... a dream. Ouch! Yep, not a dream!' Pinching herself as she thought, patting her cheeks as she heard on the overhead as the next match was called out.

Melanie and Trixie to the ring for Mellenia and Trixie Rhodes introduction match. Again, Melanie and Trixie to the ring for Mellenia and Trixie Rhodes introduction match.

"Hey kid, you ready?" A cheerful voice came from Mel's right, there was a german shepherd looking at her with a smile in her cowboy attire, every wrestler had some kind of motif going on and Trixie was playing the spunky, rowdy southern cowgirl. "I'm just as nervous as you are, but you're the one they want to win so we'll put up a good show and play by some signs like back in practice, yeah?"

Mel nodded, taking in a deep breath. "Gawwwwd I'm so nervous!" The duo leaving for the entrance to the entry stage and Mel's sleek, tight red boots along with the black and red top and those snug red shorts showing off a lot more skin than she was ever used to doing unless she were at the beach. But it was finally here... "You're on first, knock 'em dead Trixie!"

The canine giving a thumbs up and winking at Mel. "Hey, you knock 'em dead yourself!" The country rock starting to blare out over the crowd that was cheering, leaving Mel to her thoughts as she took another long and deep breath.

'So... it's finally here... we all went through that boot camp, learned about all the signals, how to take a fall, execution... showmanship. This was now going to be tested in front of a live audience too... people get to see 'me' as Mellenia... I... I. Am. Mellenia. I've got this.' One of the crew waving her over as her intro started to play and the announcer started to read out her stats. "Ladies and Gentlemen hailing from New York City, New York and standing at 6' 5", weighing in at 236 pounds of pure muscle and with a fiery passion for the ring. Give it up for Mellllleniaaaaaaa!!!!!" The loud speaker playing the Chorus to Rock of Ages, it felt powerful and with her fist raised in the air gloved in that same red and black as she looked about to the crowd. Waving and giving them her back for a moment as she flexed, the tone and some sweat showing on her back while her tail tried to make a bit of a heart. Once finished with her intro she jogged down the runway, people reaching out to touch her so she put both her arms out so that there were hands clapping into her palms along with the cheers as she made it to ringside. Climbing up and rather than just jumping into the ring she gave a look back to the crowd and the wide screen above the entry stage before pumping her fist in the air. She'd made it, leaning back as both hands gripped the top rope and she jumped over and into the ring. Trixie eyeing her up and nodding as she stretched a bit more, Mel doing the same as the music faded out and the Ref pointed to Trixie who nodded and Mel who also nodded.

"Ready? Go!" There was the sound of the bell, both girls approaching one another before Trixie took initiative and grappled with Mel, hands clutched together before Mel let herself get overpowered, a slap across her front before being Irish Whipped to the ropes, Trixie ran to the opposite ropes and with her shoulder she shoved Mel to the mat. Feeling the impact she clutched at her collar bone and rolled over, the Tigrex shaking her head as Trixie grabbed her by the hair, Mel coming to her feet but acting like it hurt. Soon as the grip was loosened she knew it was her turn. An exchange of strikes, blow traded with blow until Trixie 'stumbled' and Mel taking the advantage as she gave a kick to the midsection. Causing Trixie to bend forward, Mel getting her in a head lock and quickly running forward before jumping with her to the mat. Trixie rolling away as Mel picked herself up, the crowd roaring as the two athletes were going at it. Mel knew that this was supposed to be a show, she was going to give it to them as she ran to the ropes with Trixie coming to her feet seeing Mel rushing at her and flipping forward to receive a drop kick to the chest, sending the canine tumbling backwards and holding onto her chest as if it had caused a lot of damage. Mel once again standing as she looked to Trixie and Trixie making eye contact with her as Mel gave a slap to an elbow pad which Trixie knew as one of their signals. Getting to her feet and pushing her hair out of her eyes as Mel tried to catch Trixie, only to miss and as Mel turned the canines hands were clapped onto the back of her neck and with a jump and bringing her weight down which Mel dropped to her knees and both girls now on the mat. Trixie sitting and panting, Mel having toppled onto her back and holding her neck as she tried to get back on her feet.

Trixie scrambled up as fast as she could and with a whip to the turnbuckle, Mel was back first into the corner, Trixie then leaping up and her midsection slamming into Mel's face while her legs and lower half went into the Tigrex's midsection. Trixie dismounting and Mel collapsing down to the second rope, the crowd was cheering and shouting for both sides but Mel heard an overwhelming number of people calling out for her to get up. This was what she thought it was, how it would be... it was so much and more than she'd dreamed. Trixie now picking her up and with a sudden break of the grab from Mel throwing her arms up to push Trixie's away to the canines surprise she was grabbed and picked up in a bear hug, one quick squeeze as Trixie gave a gasp and was thrown to the mat. Mel quickly ducking behind her and as Trixie was getting up the little bombshell's excitement was rising. Tucked low and ready as Trixie turn around a sharp spear to the midsection as she was driven back to the ropes and Mel stopping short so that she would catch the ropes. It was supposed to be a series of moves to end the match and Mel was performing each one flawlessly, thrown from the ropes to the other and Mel standing in the way as the canine came back, with Mel leaning down and throwing her over the shoulder and the mat bouncing again as Trixie hit it, quickly being picked up and arms wrapped around her waist as Mel whispered into her ear. "Thank you so much, this was absolutely awesome!" The announcer then shouting as Mel lifted her opponent up and with her back arching like a bridge as shoulders met the mat and the ref sliding in to start the count. A perfect Suplex Hold, Trixie's 'stunned' body hanging in that position up until the count hit two and she kicked out. Mel panting and slapping the mat, Trixie and her did know that they needed at least another minute and a half to last otherwise they'd have made things too short. Trixie being pulled to her feet as she began another strike match with Mel, it was back and forth as the two of them made those slaps heard from the stands and then Trixie caught something from the corner of her eye and looked at Mel as she took another blow, stumbling and faltering which Mel gave one more strike and got behind her. Grappling again and with another beautiful lift and arch, that Suplex Hold was used once more and the ref sliding in. One... Two... Three! The bell sounded out as Mel let Trixie go and the two collapsed to the mat before Mel rose up and the ref taking her hand, the announcer calling out. "Ladies and gentleman! Our winner by pin fall and rising starlet... Mellenia!" Rock of Ages playing again as Mel looked out to the crowd and raised her other fist up. Sweat and exhaustion gripping her body, muscles still aching from being pushed and she looked around. Trixie was back on her feet and up against the corner as the Brute Tigrex jogged over to the corner and the Canine looking up at her with a brow raised, Mel extending her hand as her opponent shook her head and took it. The crowd ate it up, cheers going out before Mel gave her short Victory Rally and made her way back up the ramp after Trixie.

Meanwhile above the ring in a private box we have several figures, one speaking up with a bit of a coy laugh. "Well... she's certainly showing a lot of promise isn't she?"

Another with a gruff grunt and pointing to another figure. "She's got strength, and I like that but she needs more than that..."

"Are you blind? The girl has grit, strength and style." The third figure flipping their hair as they would point this out. "I think she'd be a wonderful addition to both the Wrestling League and... the VWF."

There was silence as a fourth figure stood and gave a nod. "All in favor of inducting her into the VWF... raise your hand, at that point her matches will be much more based on skill over a 'script' but she still wrestles in the Wrestling League too. We need to see if she has what it takes too... Trixie stays in the Wrestling League as she didn't sign that part of the contracts...Melanie signed that part knowingly." There was a silence as the first two figures looked between one another before back to the fourth. "She's a lawyer, she wouldn't overlook something like that unless she wanted the challenge or danger... but she also knows our fail safes as well." There was one hand, then two, three and four. It was unanimous. "Then it's settled. We'll send her trainer down to inform her that she has one more match tonight, it's going to be against Candice Cyclone. Oh... and make sure to tell her that she doesn't hold back... this is a real wrestling fight where it's eat or be eaten..." The third figure nodding with a bow as they left the room... seems that Mel wasn't just going to be wrestling in the spotlight.
