Mama Said...

Scene One
Daisy's Southern Plantation

The air was cool and there was a nice breeze that was floating through. It was a warn winter afternoon. One of the perks of living in the south was the warm weather all year round. I sat on the porch softly rocking back and fourth in a rocking chair as I sipped on some sweet tea. I had on a pair of hip hugging jeans and a pink and white flannel shirt.  A pink cowboy hat sat on my head to block out the sun from my eyes. I was happy to just be sitting and watching the wind slowly blow through the Cotton fields as I watched the cotton stalks dance back and fourth. Was a peaceful day sadly that was not going to last for me as my little sister and best friend came barreling on to the porch. She plopped down next to me. She was sixteen and in a purple and white sundress. She brushed some hair out of her face and she had a mischievous grin on her face. 

'The Southern Bell' Daisy Montgomery: What is that smile for? I hate it when you have a look like that...

'The Evil Little Sister' Hannah Montgomery: So when you going to tell mama you going back to the wrestling stuff?

'The Southern Bl' Daisy Montgomery:  I don't plan on telling mama anything... and I am sure she is not going to hear from you either right? Besides when she see's her little girl on TV as a star she will be more then thrilled.

'The Evil Little Sister' Hannah Montgomery: Or when she has to rush to the hospital again... which ever comes first. So you in another crappy local thing?

'The Southern Bell' Daisy Montgomery:  Haha very funny. But no I am in a big one now that travels all of the country. Someone finally saw true talent and scooped it up. You just wait I am going to famous and people are going to be saying Daisy Montgomery is Women's wrestling.

'The Evil Little Sister' Hannah Montgomery: Uh-huh and one day I am going to be called the queen of England...why don't you just be a good girl, find a nice boy and run a farm like ma and pa do. Keep it simple why do you always have to be running off trying to do great things. Not that I mind... makes me the favorite child I was just wondering.

'The Southern Bell' Daisy Montgomery: Because I don't want to be a farm girl..I want to be famous. It's what I deserve I mean look at me. I'm to good for one of this tractor riding boys. I need the glitz and the glam. I want to be the girl every little southern girl want to grow up to be. Not just another farm wife. I mean nothing against ma but that's just not for me I'm too good for that...

As I said it I hear the screen door open followed by my mothers voice. Things where never pretty when me and her butted heads maybe she just wanted to call us in for dinner?

Mama Montgomery: To good for what little missy?

Nope I was wrong... she heard me and Hannah talking. I didn't say anything hoping she would let it slide. But Hannah was not going to let it. As she tore back into the house I heard her yell behind her. "Daisy Dosn't want to be a farm girl she got back into wrestling to be famous" Mama glared at me and all I could do was gulp. I knew I was in for it... the only question was how bad?

Mama Montgomery: Is this true Daisy Lynn Montgomery!

O boy.. my full name...

'The Southern Bell' Daisy Montgomery: Yes it is ma'am, and I plan to be great at it. I was on the fast track to greatness till I missed that jump and I plan to get right back on it.

Mama Montgomery: And how do you plan to do that? You nearly broke your back once... you need to stop chasing these stupid ideas and just settle down. That wrestling ring in no place for a young lady like yourself. If your father god rest his soul was still alive he would have the paddle out and be making you ask Jesus to forgive you for these insane ideas you are running around with! Your a proper lady that's what I raised you to be and that's what you should be!

'The Southern Bell' Daisy Montgomery: Why can't you ever just be happy for me mama? I mean I am following my dream and I am going places with it. I am going to get to see the world. Why is that such a bad thing?

Mama Montgomery: So marry a man who is rich and travels you can see the world that way as well. I expect you to not be doing this. Now get your butt inside and washed up for dinner. I will not hear another word of your foolishness. This family has come through to much to have you off ruining are name on some cock a many TV show.

She gave me that eye. It was an evil eye but what else could I do she is my mama. I made my way inside sulking as Hannah snickered. I shot her the your so dead face and headed off to the bathroom to wash up for dinner. I ate dinner and it was a night of silence. But that's how mama always liked it. To be nice and quite so she would think she won. But I was planning my escape to make my dreams come true. Sure running away from home was less then the perfect way to be but I needed to be me. I wasn't Hannah and I surely wasn't her. Daddy would'a understood he was a free sprit like me as much as mama hates to admit to it. So that's what I did as soon as I went to bed an I heard mama's door close I took off out the window to start my own life. I'm 21 so I guess it's not running away per say but it sure did feel like it for me.

Scene Two
On a plane to Green Bay and a talk about my match

I sat on the plane with my headphones plugged into a portable DVD player. I was watching past UWF events that I could track down to try and get a feel for everyone and the way things went there. It was rather lonely on the plane but I couldn't complain to much this was phase one and if phase two went as good as phase one she would be in great shape. And maybe have a new friend. I flipped the DVD player closed to try and get some sleep before I  landed. Moved around a bit getting comfy in the couch level seating. Sucks to be the new kid who has earned nothing yet. Still get to fly coach. I had finally gotten to a position where I could sleep and the damn whale of a man next to me needs to use the bathroom. Now I have nothing against big people but if you got to squeeze through a small space ask the person sitting there to more or something don't try to get by un noticed... cause the person will notice. But alas he was trying to be nice and I do appreciate that but I would have rather been woken up and asked nicely to move. He goes to move past me not saying a word even pulling the whole tip two thing. And I mean a normal person couldn't fit through with how I was laying out. The next thing I know he trips over me and lands right on me I scream and the flight lady is running over and the next thing I know the whole plane is looking at me and this man untangling ourselves. There are some slight giggles and and questions of if we were both ok.

So I figured the ordeal was over when we landed. Nope. My life sucked at the moment. Now I'm from the south and in the winter cold is like 50 degrees most days... this is green bay where you don't get cold till there is a minus sign in front of that 50. So I was in jeans and a T-shirt and lets just say I made a big mistake. And to keep you the detials lets just say everyone in the airport knew I was cold... so I did what any sane women did. I ran to the nearest store brought the biggest and puffiest coat I could find and charged it. Now that I was warm I was all set to head to the arena. Luckily for me the trip to the arena was better then the flight and I got there with out making an ass of myself. I got out of my limo that the UWF sent for me at the arena still freezing to death as I ran inside. To be told I had an on air promo in 10 minutes. Talk about rushing a girl... so I made my way to the room where a camera was all set up and waiting for me. I took off the coat much against my will. So I stood there in my jeans and pink t shirt that said Southern Comfort across the front of it and took a deep breath as the camera man pointed to me to cue I was on the air. I flashed my award winning smile as I slowly ran my fingers through my hair getting ready to speak.

'The Southern Bell' Daisy Montgomery: Sometimes I read back in my life to see how far down or up I've gone. Every once in a while I look back and realize how easy my life was. I've overcome a lot of adversity, but I've never had much to overcome. I guess y'all could say I was one of those kids with a silver spoon in my mouth. And now I know what y'all are going to be saying... A damn rookie.

 I leaned back against the wall a smile on my face. I knew what they all would be saying. They been here before, they have done it in other places. But that's ok. I didn't need to bring my resume with me to any match. I did that when I applied for the job from here on out it is about what I can and can't do in the ring.

'The Southern Bell' Daisy Montgomery: I'll hear these comments about how I'm thinking like a rookie, or someone new to the game. It's funny though, because most of it is true. Yet y'all will say it like I am suppose to be insulted. See I don't need to give them my history, my successes. All I'd be doing is showing off my talents, and even then I'd be looked at as conceited.  But I am conceited. Y'all will learn that as we go along in this little road trip around the mountain. I think I am the best, and deep down I know I am. But it is going to take more then a pretty smile and my southern charm to prove it. I know that...

I stopped a second biteing my lower lips as I thought it over. Was I still that good? How could I know? I mean I hurt my back how could I know I still had all of this in me. I guess this would be the week I found out.

'The Southern Bell' Daisy Montgomery: Knowing how good I am and expressing that to y'all is not what I am worried about. What you two have to say to me is not much of a concern to me. Actually, not a concern at all. I proved myself the first time I stepped in to a promo or match. I dominate with words and actions. You see, all of these guys look at me as over-rated. Am I truly? Or have you seen nothing as good, so you then doubt yourself? My whole life people have tried to be me. Girls want to be me and guys wanted there girlfriends to be me. I am everything beautiful, perfect, sassy, and evil about the south rolled up into a nice easy on the eyes shell. I can get away with anything. And I think that fact often scares y'all.

I didn't know what to talk about. They didn't know me and I didn't know them so I figured was best to talk about myself. Seeing as I was the only one in the match I knew anything about. And really is there any subject y'all would rather hear me talk about besides me?

'The Southern Bell' Daisy Montgomery: That all important first win on the line. Battle between three of the newest. Battle of men vs women. This is going to be a war. But I can't complain. I know how to work under pressure. I've done it most of my life I'm a girl we e just handle life better. I'm a career underdog, facing two career underachievers. Everyone will doubt me because I am women and everyone will over look you two because you lost to one. That's how this match will boil down to. I know I know I am ranked as the third to win by y'all. That's more than fine with me. But after I do win, and carry myself up the ramp with a smile, I expect every hater to show up, and give me reasons why I won. Because I am a girl and we aren't suppose to win. Well y'all better get use to it because I wreckin I am going to be on the winning end of a lot of matches. And y'all can say what ever makes you feel better but it's all far too played out.

I needed to win this match. Everything was riding on it. I wanted to look good for the fans, I wanted to look good for the people who watched me wrestle in the little local crappy place, I wanted to prove Hannah and mama wrong, I wanted to make papa proud and most of all I needed to prove to myself I still had it. I talked a big talk but I had to prove to myself I could still walk a big walk. 

'The Southern Bell' Daisy Montgomery: Just let me do my thing. I'm tired of being yelled at, called out and spat on by people who think they know more then me, tired of being disapproved of for no reason. If anything, since I showed up, the ratings will go up because you have a southern beauty gracing the tv sets across America. There's a reason why I came back after my injury. It wasn't because I was restless, I was ready to compete again. Ready to tear opponents apart in the ring. I brought excitement with me, and I haven't got re-payed. But hey, maybe getting signed to the big time is a sign that y'all finally have seen I have talent. Good, finally something goes my way. And the match this week is going to go my my as well. For the simple reason the south will rise again and I Daisy Montgomery is going lead the charge...

With that the camera fades out. And I can head off to find the women I was looking forward to meeting since my plane ride.
