The following is part of the latest Battle Carnival 15 update:As DEADLY GAMES returns from break, a promo runs giving backstory for the upcoming match. Footage plays from Import Queens show High Octane Nights #10 where GM Stacy Keibler convinces a hesitant Dana Hamm to wrestle Louise Glover one last time. “Thanks, but no thanks, Miss Keibler. I don’t need that nickname back. I’d prefer to just take my retirement and fade away," states Dana on the big screen. “If you had a match against Louise where it was pre-determined that Louise would lose, and you would win your ‘Huntress’ nickname back ... you wouldn’t enjoy that," asks the beautiful blonde.
The footage shifts to the Mighty Aphrodites show Titillation #05, the site of the match signing between Huntresses Past and Present. Louise is shown speaking, “GM Keibler, I want to thank you for this opportunity. Dana, I give you a lot of credit for coming out here ... DO NOT expect that I’m going to roll over for you ... WHEN I beat you, I not only get to KEEP the ‘Huntress’ name ... but I also get to return to the main EFW roster. Not just that, but YOU get to take my place in the minor leagues, and have your retirement REVOKED!” The exchange is followed by Stacy Keibler giving a stern look to Dana, coaxing the distraught woman to sign on the dotted line. The lights then go out and when they return, Louise lies face down in a corner, stripped down to her bra and panties. Jumping ahead to later in the event, a bruised Louise happens upon a snake in her locker, only to discover it was a rubber toy accompanied by a foreboding note.
The big screen then flashes back to earlier in DEADLY GAMES, when Louise has a close encounter with a very real snake as she's leaving the shower. The Huntress falls down and crawls back into the shower, and the recap ends just as she screams for help.
The screen brightened to show EFW interviewer Sherry Goggin-Giardina lounged across the comfortable, plush sofa in the interview room. Retired EFW star Dana Hamm sat on the luxurious leather chair across from her.
The pretty blonde interviewer started off, as she sat up straight. She said, “Welcome back Dana. Most everyone, myself included, expected you to be concerned going up against Louise again. I mean, your last encounter didn’t exactly end well.”
“You are right,” Dana replied. “I don’t want to give too much away, but I’ve got some help this time around, with events set in motion behind the scenes. I suspect that Louise is going to be off her game heading into our rematch, and that could make all the difference.”
Sherry asked, “Would you care to elaborate any further? And does this help have anything to do with the two ‘snake' incidents we heard about?”
“I heard about those incidents as well,” Dana agreed. “I can’t say with absolute certainty, but I believe that yes, those incidents are related to my help.”
Sherry changed the topic a bit as she smiled, “So, Dana, what special plans or strategies do you have in mind going up against Louise? This is a hardcore match, and she is quite the vicious bad girl, as you know.”
“I am well aware,” Dana said softly. “I really don’t want to divulge specifics right now. Louise might be watching after all, and I don’t want to show my hand. But, rest assured, I do have a plan. I have no intention of being forced out of retirement if I lose, and certainly not into the minor leagues.”
Sherry nodded, “I agree, you are wise to not say much about your plans. Good luck out there.”
“Thanks, Sherry,” Dana said with a slight hint of nerves in her voice. The bad girl brunette got up from the sofa and walked to the door as the lights in the interview room faded out.
EFW Interviewer Joey Mansfield sat on the plush sofa, relaxing in the interview room at the EFW arena as she waited for Louise Glover to arrive. Several minutes later, the hot blonde bad girl strutted her way into the room and sat down in the comfortable leather chair across from Joey. Louise’s eyes darted nervously around the room, and the blonde seemed worried and skittish.
Joey said, “Hello, Louise. Welcome back. We are thrilled to see you again. This must seem like old times, stepping back in the ring against your long time nemesis, Dana Hamm.”
“Thank you,” Louise responded nervously, as she looked around again. “It is great to be back on prime time. Yes, I am wrestling Dana again. I took care of her before, and I don’t doubt that I will handle her again.”
The brunette announcer asked, “I hate to bring up a sore point, but how are you doing after those couple of snake incidents and backstage drama?”
“I’m fine,” Louise snapped, obviously not fine, her eyes darted around as she looked clearly paranoid. “Those were just weird happenings to throw me off balance, and it’s not working. I’m fine and ready for the match.”
Joey continued with her questions, “Having wrestled her twice before, do you have any particular tactics against Dana; and do you have anything specific planned considering it is a hardcore match?”
“My plan simply speaking is this,” Louise replied as her eyes flared with anger. “I am not giving up my cherished nickname, and I plan to get back on the main roster! I have zero intention of letting Ms. Hamm ride off into the sunset of retirement with MY moniker. Not happening. I'm TEN times the Huntress she ever was!”
Joey Mansfield smiled curiously as she asked, “What exactly is going on with you and Dana Hamm?”
Once again looking skittish and worried, Louise replied, “You saw the earlier matches, and our signing ceremony. You know exactly what is happening. She's got some secret helper or she's trying to play me! What more do I need to spell out?”
“I guess nothing else. Those events are pretty self-explanatory.” The brunette interviewer turned and said, “We’re out of time. So, let me just finish and say ‘good luck’ on your match tonight, Louse.”
Louise Glover didn’t say another word at that, but simply got up and left the interview room.
Back in her dressing room, Dana Hamm found a box had been delivered for her. There was a note attached to the box, which read:
Dearest Dana:
Here is a gift to use for your hardcore match. This should rattle our mutual enemy.
-An Enemy of Your EnemyDana opened the box and looked inside. Her eyes widened and a big grin crept onto her face. The hot brunette vixen laughed as she thought about how Louise would freak out when she saw this particular item.
In her own dressing room, Louise fixed herself up, primping her hair and touching up her make-up as needed, to look her absolute best. The blonde beauty smiled deviously as she thought of her adversary, and just how much fun she was about to have, taking her hated rival apart. A loud knock on the door startled Louise and she quickly stood up. Dumping flowers from a nearby vase, she brandished the dripping decor as she cautiously opened the door. A blonde woman with a lean physique and supermodel looks appeared on the other side.
"Oh, I'm so sorry. I guess I got a bit lost," the woman stated innocently enough.
"No shit," came Louise's terse reply. "I'm getting ready for my match, so unless you want to be an appetizer, BEAT IT!"
The blonde was put off by Louise's attitude, but stifled a response with a confident smile and stare. As she started to walk away, a light went on in Louise's head.
"Hey, wait a minute, I know you. You're Tiffany Remley," Louise remarked. "You were a wrestler in the FWF."
"That's right," confirmed the blonde stunner with a smile as she turned her head. "I'm here to visit a few friends of mine."
"Yeah, I remember watching your first match. You lost to Dana Hamm," Louise continued with a chuckle. "Dana played you for a sucker, posing as a photographer to scout your strengths and weaknesses. She made you scream your submission, if I recall."
(See Flash*Back #7 for the match in question)
An irritated Tiffany responded, "That was only my second match as a pro. I learned a lot from our encounter."
"Suuure you did. I figured you were a loser from that fight alone, so forgive me for not following your storied career," Louise replied sarcastically.
"I'll say this about Dana, at least she's a changed woman," responded Tiffany as she fought to keep her cool. "Retirement suits her well. She's no longer that conniving wrestler who delighted in other people's misery. From what I hear, you're the new Huntress in town, tormenting opponents the way Dana used to."
Tiffany's words struck a nerve as Louise's face went from a cocky grin to a death stare. The Huntress threw open her door and hurled the vase at Tiffany's head. The athletic blonde ducked as the glass container smashed into the wall behind her. Louise stood at her doorway and let loose on Tiffany and anyone within earshot.
"I'm not the new Huntress, darling, I'm the ONLY Huntress," Louise raged. "Even after I beat Dana on 'Supremacy', idiots like you keep calling her 'Huntress' in idle conversation, the name I earned. Well, that ends tonight. When I get done with Dana, she won't even dare sign 'Huntress' on a convention autograph!"
A seething Louise slammed her door shut as Tiffany grinned, pleased to have gotten under her skin. The blonde beauty continued confidently down the hallway as the footage faded out.
