Ladies and gentlemen you are now witnessing the face of the Shield Maiden division. The most fighting Champion in all of IWF. That’s right you get to hear perfection in its finest form because you get to listen to yours truly. The one and only Silver Screen Queen Crystal Millar. Now if there is anybody in this company who has picked themselves up from the jaws of defeat and have made the biggest turnaround in all of this sport. It definitely has been me.
I have held this championship for close to two months now and I don’t see myself dropping it anytime soon. When I look at the Shield Maiden Championship I see the very symbol that represents my road to redemption. It represents the start of a new chapter in the tale of my IWF career.
I know those early chapters of watching me try to rise up just to get sent back down were insanely brutal to watch. Hell they were more like a horror flick to me where I got caught up in trying to play the role of a scream queen. Running away in hopes of mere survival. Trying to pray and be hopeful that I could feel my last breath by the end. But more and more as the movie played out we all knew what was coming.
I would be cast into the role of the helpless blonde who wouldn’t make it to see the dawn of day. The killer would get to me in the most gruesome way and the harsh reality is everyone saw it coming but me.
I was the only one who was too blinded and naĂŻve to believe that she had fallen off the pedestal that she was on. Too confused by the past that I once had in the wrestling world and instead of trying to make things anew I focused on my past to boost my ego.
It made me feel better. It made me feel a sense of belonging.
But in reality it was just my worst insecurities coming to haunt me and I was hoping to blind myself from them on just to fight for tomorrow. Was it foolish? You damn right it was foolish but now look at me.
Look at me now! I have the championship around my waist. I have everything going for me and no longer should people view me as a Scream Queen but I am more like a Silver Screen Queen!
Whenever I invade your television set you should know what’s about to go down. You should know that without a shadow of a doubt that I am going to shake things up. I am going to propel myself to being in the spotlight. Hell I am the damn spotlight, and what that means.
Is now that I have made a complete 180 on what all of you thought of me. I can focus on the one thing that a champion should be focused about, and that’s doing whatever it takes to maintain her status at the very top. I have done everything under the sun to assert myself at the top.
Did I take shortcuts? You damn right I did because in this business sometimes you have to make a cut throat decision if you want to find yourself going somewhere. In the history of my career I allied myself along Zelda Knite.
I know… some of you saw me as her sidekick. Some of you even thought I was packaged nice and tightly right in the heart of her suitcase, and saw her carry me to unknown high plateaus throughout this business. What business does a Hollywood primma donna like myself have in befriending a geeky gamer girl like her?!
Or the time I dated Steve Awesome. Was engaged to him even, was right with him when he won a world championship
Or what about being with Ana Valentine when she was here?
Do you know why I made the moves to align myself with these people or even find myself in a relationship with them?! Was it because I was out to make friends or something of that nature?!
No… It had nothing to do with it. Truth be told I did it so I could assert my own place in the position of being at the top, and they were shortcuts to get there.
But where exactly did that get me?!
Nowhere… It didn’t do me any good. It didn’t do anything for me and I still stayed in the shadows.
Yet the very moment I decided to branch out onto my own I was on a sure one way ticket to the top and now I walk into a main event match in IWF on Pay Per View as a champion. The one time hunter will become the hunted, and that brings a smile to my face because that means that I am the one that people want to beat. I am the one that women in this company have their eyes upon.
Eternity and Paige do you want what I got?!
Well by all means why don’t you come and try to take it.
But through it all I refuse to be a victim that has to pass up what she worked so hard to achieve. When I became Shield Maiden I vowed I wouldn’t give it up until I was ready to move on to the Diamond’s Championship. In order to even get to that point. I need to get past three more defenses.
Which means that I am not in a position where I can lose yet. So Survival of the Fittest bring it on.
All of you will see for yourself that this is one rose that refuses to wither away…
Long behold Survival of the Fittest. In the wrestling world every night we go out there and put our bodies on the line is truly like the concept of the Survival of the Fittest and this week for me I believe that statement to be fact because everything is on the line for me.
I know I can come out here and act all pompous. I can puff my chest out and act like it’s all in the bag but the truth of the reality is that there are going to be two women on the other side of the ring who are going to stop me in my tracks. And not only do they want to stop me but they have both proven that they had the ability to do it in the past.
With Paige Garcia she is by far the greatest woman to ever hold the title that I have around my waist. I would be an absolute fool to admit otherwise. I have seen her make the turnaround from being a scrub to being a legit champion. And when the title was being from Kayla, to Shea, to Kate Steele. Paige just came in like a bat out of hell. She swooped right in and made the championship her own, and she restored the credibility to it.
She made sure it wasn’t a hot potato anymore and brought it’s prestige back to where it needed to be. You know what Paige? As much as I hate your guts. Hate you for trying to take my spot as the dominant Latina in this business. Annoyed for you accomplishing what you did. You did what I would have done as a champion. You took all of the risks. Shortcuts. It didn’t matter you made being a champion very cut throat and did what you needed to do to keep the belt.
Whether it was twin magic or using every form of cheap tactic in the book. You still maintained your status as a champion, and I can get behind that. What I won’t respect is the way you used me as a stepping stone to get there. A few weeks after I won my championship you just had to drop me right to the mat with your All About Me. You just had to prove that at any point you could come right back into the confines of the division and take what you wanted. That in itself cuts me very deeply and I know that you are a threat.
I have felt being on the receiving end of your wrath many of times but I promise on every single thing inside of me. I refuse to get extinct. I refuse to be the weak one in this match. I will knock you down off of your pedestal and take it for my own. Show everyone that I have what it takes to beat you in the ring. That’s something that doesn’t seem credible nowadays but I will make people believers.
Then of course on the other side is Eternity, and she scares the living shit out of me. She’s psychotic still to this day I get visions of the way she abused me inside of the ring. OF the way she just manhandled me all throughout the ring and left me broken with a ten bell salute.
My match with her put me on the shelf for so many months and it was the worst time in my career. I love this business. I need to be in that ring. Only by competing can I have the ability to talk trash. Only by wrestling can I prove the haters wrong. Only by stepping through those curtains and rolling into that ring can I proudly shout to the heavens that I am the Silver Screen Queen!
But I can’t do that being sidelined and when I see you Eternity I am reminded of that. I am reminded of being folded in two. Broken and bruised, and not being able to do what I love.
I remember being humiliated with a doll that resembles me and it’s time to wipe away your very existence. It’s time to put this chapter of Paige behind me, and continue to be the best champion that I can be.
Jessica Reed it’s us out there. Even you have a win over me lately and the way I see it all three of these women are in a class that I wish to be in but the thing is I will get there.
I will fight my way there, and I will find a way to be in the equation of being one of the most improving women of the year and I will prove out there that I belong.
One thing I haven’t done so far during my time here is showcasing I have the ability to be a main event player. To truly be that star I desperately wish to become.
Through hell or high water. I will show everyone why I belong out there.
You want a fight? You want to see why I am the Shield Maiden? That’s what you are going to get from me. A woman who refuses to be extinct.

{Crystal couldn’t help but grin as she walked into her Rose Productions movie studio. Ever since she had become IWF Shield Maiden Champion everything about her was starting to go in the right direction. Her pop star career was being rekindled. The meet and greet ops, the long lines of fans wishing to see her, and her very own music video. Things couldn’t get any better for the Hollywood Starlet. Actually they could as she was called to an executive meeting by her board of directors. She walked into the meeting room with her championship proudly across her shoulders. She took a seat at the helm of the table as she looked to everybody else in the room.}
Crystal: “Well then… I do believe it’s time that we started this meeting. So tell me why did you call me into a meeting today? As you obviously can see things are going insanely well with me right now. My IWF merchandise continues to make it way off of the shelf. My own career is at the best it could be right now. I mean do you see this title that’s around my shoulder?”
{Crystal smiles as she glances at her championship and proceeds to kiss it.}
Crystal: “Is it just gorgeous? And absolutely beautiful?! You see this lion on this belt. It has found it’s proper place home. Granted as I am from Detroit and a Lions fan it makes sense, but it represents me. King of the jungle. Or in this case Queen of IWF, and I don’t plan to stop anytime soon…”
{The people in the room nod their head in agreement especially Alexander Ross the CFO of her studio. He smiles as he looks back at Crystal.}
Alexander: “Exactly and we do appreciate everything you have done Ms. Millar. Did you enjoy your time in Cinncy?! “
Crystal: “Honestly know those fans at that hot topic were ridiculous but what did you expect from such a horrible town, but now they want me to go to Cleveland. Cleveland of all places. Where people are probably still talking themselves up over the Cavs win or maybe Stipe’s UFC Heavyweight Championship win. But then they need to get brought back to reality. Like how their fans were crushed when their Indians got crushed or let’s not forget their trash Browns….”
{Crystal looks at her championship offering a smile.}
Crystal: “It’s a damn shame that I even have to defend my championship in that city. Bringing it to the Land?! Who gives a damn about the Land I just hope their losing ways don’t rub off onto me. I can’t afford to catch what they got. I know being a loser can be contagious but I want NO part of that!”
Alexander: “Actually we didn’t want to talk about your wrestling career even though it’s been insanely awesome, and it’s helping pave the way for what we really want to do. But because of the success of your music video and with the added achievements of what you are doing in the wrestling world we want for you to do a movie…”
Crystal: “Of course I will do a movie! It’s not even a question if I want to do one or not. You should already know the answer to that question. Just tell me what I am doing and I am game for it…”
Chloe Crystal’s personal assistant smiles as she looks right at Crystal.
Chloe: “Well Crystal… Ms. Millar… They are looking at putting you into a horror film…You know one of those teenage slasher films…”
Crystal: “Is someone making a mockery of me?! Let’s be honest you know the Hispanic or black girl doesn’t do well in those movies! They always find their way dying half way through the movie! Or if you look at anything in that genre they don’t tend to do well…”
Alexander: “I don’t think you are looking at it from the right perspective besides don’t get the black male stereotype mixed with you. Females do tend to do well. Just look at Sasha from the Waling Dead or Kelly Roland in Freddy vs Jason she at least died in the last 5 minutes of the movie.”
Crystal: “SPOILER ALERT!”
Chloe: “You really haven’t seen a movie that came out in 2003?!”
Crystal: “Chloe just stop talking… so what you want me to be this Scream Queen?!”
Alexander: “Yes we do… It would be absolutely amazing. I know it must be an insult to someone like you but of course you would be the star of the movie. We can’t have the star of our movie being killed off so quickly. We are trying to build a franchise with you. We want you to be our Neve Campbell….”
Crystal: “As I should… I earned that right. Scream was amazing. Even the fourth one and I have a prettier face so it would instantly sell on the big screen.”
Chloe: “Although Neve does tend to have a big but which appeals to the audience…”
Crystal: “Chloe… Just shut up… Stop talking…But consider it done. As long as my star power will be carrying this movie. That’s all that really matters… But I feel like you are holding something very key to all of this…”
{Alexander smiles as he looks at Crystal.}
Alexander: “Actually that’s the part I feel you are going to like best because it’s going to be a blast from your past costarring with you..”
Crystal: “From my past?! And just could you have gotten?!”
Alexander: “Chloe can you go get our guest?!”
{Chloe nods her head as she leaves the room. A few moments go by and that’s when Chloe comes back into the room. Entering the room with her is none other than Crystal’s longtime friend Ayla St. James… Crystal turns around to gaze at the woman as a huge smile escapes her lips.}
Alexander: “I believe you two should already know one another but it’s Ayla St. James. You should remember her from your time competing against one another. She’s a former Canadian soap Opera star and….”
{Crystal immediately gets up as she runs over to Ayla and hugs the dear life out of her.}
Crystal: “Ayla!!!!!”
Ayla: “Hey Crissy… Can you stop squeezing me… You know suffocation and what have you…”
{Crystal slowly pulls away as she and Ayla stare at one another as Crystal grins.}
Alexander: “Good I am happy that you two are going to get along…”
Crystal: “Get along?! You don’t understand… When I went to that other company in like 2010 I had my eyes on Ayla… She was like the foundation for the actor turned wrestler. I have always had the utmost respect for her…”
Alexander: “Good because in this movie she will play the psychotic killer…. The best friend that stabs you in the back. It should be a good movie, and a great chance for the big comeback tour for Miss Ayla on screen. People will buy into it. Just as people will buy into you. Don’t let the studio down. You two can make quite a bit of cash from this… But most of all Crystal we need your popularity to remain high…”
Crystal: “In other words?”
Ayla: “Don’t lose your championship idiot… Keep winning, keep defending it. This movie rides on your popularity so don’t mess it up…”
Crystal: “Oh I WON’T mess this up… Just you watch… “
Ayla: “Good I didn’t come out of the confines of Canadian for you to just mess this up. Seclusion was a very happy place for me…”
{With that Crystal nodded her head as she knew what she had to do…}
Crystal: “Well then… I do believe it’s time that we started this meeting. So tell me why did you call me into a meeting today? As you obviously can see things are going insanely well with me right now. My IWF merchandise continues to make it way off of the shelf. My own career is at the best it could be right now.
