Marie
Annabelle Jones and Sophie James together are better known as
#GingerNation. They are the current and
longest reigning UWA World Tag Team Champions, having held the titles for over
a year. The redheaded duo seemed
unbeatable and inseparable. At one time,
after the #GingerNation had beaten every other team, and no further true
competition existed, it seemed as if they were destined to be champions forever.
Not if UWA
management had anything to say about it.
David Helms and Drew Bryant began a major league tag team recruitment
drive which resulted in several new tag teams joining the ranks. Four of those new teams were thrown into a
miniature tournament to crown new number one contenders to the UWA World Tag
Team Championship.
Normally
this would not have bothered Marie in the slightest. She and Sophie had been dominating the tag
team scene for over year. They had
beaten every tag team to cross their path.
It didn’t matter who was to come out of the tournament with the title
shot, they should have no issues defeating them. But the winners of the tournament, their
opponents and challengers at Against All Odds, are The Heartbreakers and they
have been very impressive thus far, earning some surprising victories over The
Burns Brothers and The Sisterhood on their way to this title opportunity.
Then there’s
also the added dilemma of the #GingerNation not being on the same page. Some would argue that the #GingerNation are
not even on the same planet. Marie Jones
has been depressed ever since she lost the UWA World Championship. It didn’t make matters any better than UWA
had overlooked her for nearly all singles bookings, including the elimination
chamber at Sectioned. It angered and
upset Marie to the extent that she decided to do something about it…
…it was a
decision that she would question over and over again within her mind. It was a decision she made on September 14th,
2016. It was just two days removed from
Sectioned and the day after Marie had gotten drunk in a bar and started a
massive fight. Lucky for the
self-proclaimed Crown Jewel of Professional Wrestling, her twin sister Kimberly
was there. Kimberly is no stranger to
jail and has no issues with her own reputation being ruined, switched spots
with Marie and took the fall for her.
It was a
loving, sisterly move by Kimberly Williams that shows she has some capacity for
human love deep down within that sociopathic shell. It made Marie feel extremely guilty, for she
knew she was the one responsible for Marie’s predicament. She was the one who was upset, got drunk, and
started the fight. Kimberly didn’t have
to take the fall, but she did, and she would never have had to had Marie been
acting decently.
Currently
Marie Annabelle Jones and her husband Arthur Pond are sitting on a long wooden
bench against the wall at a local police station in Boston, Massachusetts. The redhead is wearing long denim jeans and
flip flops. She sports a red blouse with
a black leather jacket. Her head is
buried in her hands as she moans a little, still suffering from the headache
that resulted from her hangover. Arthur
can do nothing more than pat her on the back gently and offer whatever comfort
he has.
“I’m sorry you’re feeling bad, babe.”
“Don’t apologize. Not your fault.”
She throws
her head back up.
“It isn’t your fault I did what I did.”
Arthur
stares at her stoically.
“It isn’t smart to say that kind of thing
here. You know?”
Marie rolls
her eyes.
“Yeah, I know…don’t lecture me now or else
I’ll get sick and I think I’m doing a pretty bang up job of keeping everything
in my stomach.”
Arthur
chuckles.
“I don’t need the graphic details but ok!”
Marie and
Arthur both share a laugh but that laugh is abruptly ended when they hear the
door that leads to the cell blocks opening.
They look up to see an officer leading Kimberly Williams into the room.
“Kimberly!”
Immediately
she leaps up to her feet and rushes over, greeting her twin with a tight bear
hug which nearly squeezes the life out of her.
“Uh…Marie…I can’t breathe…”
“Sorry!”
Marie laughs
lightly.
“I’m just so glad to see you. You shouldn’t have done that…you shouldn’t
have taken the fa…”
A gentle
elbow to the gut from Kimberly reminds Marie that they are at a local jail and
it isn’t smart to self-incriminate here.
“…uh, I mean, you should not have started
that brawl.”
“Well you know me, Annie-Belle…”
Kimberly
snickers as she says this and Marie just glares. Annabelle is Marie’s middle name and she does
not want to be called by that middle name.
She prefers Marie. Kimberly knows
this and loves to taunt her.
“…I am a naughty little minx.”
Marie rolls
her eyes.
“Whatever.
Let’s just get you out of here.”
“Yay!
I get to go hoooome!”
Kimberly
leaps up into the air. All three
individuals, Marie and her husband Arthur as well as the officer, roll their
eyes in unison. Kimberly then turns and
winks at the officer.
“I’ll be sure to send you a Valentine’s Day
card, sweetie-pie.”
The officer
arches his brow.
“Are you propositioning me?”
“Maaaaaaybe…”
“I hope you realize that propositioning an
officer is against the law.”
Kimberly
playfully salutes him.
“Yes SIR!”
And with
that Marie takes Kimberly by one arm and Arthur takes her by the other and it
almost looks as if they have to half-drag Kimberly out of the doors as she
giggles and barely walks out of the local jail.
As soon as they are outside and they are certain they can speak more
freely, Marie lets her have it.
“What the hell is wrong with you?!”
“Oh whatever could you mean?”
“For starters, you’re propositioning that
officer in there? Are you nuts?!”
“You should know by now that yes, I am
crazy, and besides…”
Kimberly
winks.
“He’s cute!”
Marie rolls
her eyes.
“Whatever…you shouldn’t have gone to jail
anyway. You shouldn’t have taken the
fall for me.”
They make it
to their vehicle. Arthur opens the back
passenger’s side door and waits patiently for Kimberly to enter. Kim, though, before she enters, casts a
knowing grin in Marie’s direction.
“Well, my only other option would’ve been to
let you take the fall, and that would’ve ruined your precious reputation. Would you have wanted that, dear sister?”
Kimberly
laughs as she steps into the car. Marie
then sighs, realizing that Kimberly does have a point. She steps into the passenger’s side and then
Arthur enters the driver’s side. The car
is started and they drive off. The ride
is not silent for very long. Kimberly
speaks up almost immediately as the car drives off.
“Hey, sis…may I ask you a question?”
“Do I have a choice?”
“Nope!
Care to tell me why you freaked out so damn much back at the bar? I mean, I barely made out your moaning and
stuttering about wrestling…”
She winks.
“…or lack thereof.”
Marie
sighs. She doesn’t like how Kimberly
keeps reminding her of how UWA has been rarely booking her ever since she lost
the UWA World Championship.
“Wrestling is not just a career for me,
Kim. It’s my life. It is my livelihood. I was the UWA World Champion and yeah, ok, I
lost it back to Vanilla Skyy. But does
that make right for UWA to just not book me?
And then on the rare occasions they DO book me, it’s only in a tag team
match?”
A low growl
escapes Marie’s throat.
“I am more than just a tag team wrestler,
Kim.”
“Yeah, I know this, but what are you going
to do about it?”
“I’m going to enter into negotiations with
Supreme Championship Wrestling.”
Kimberly’s
eyes grow wide.
“What about Sophie?”
“She and I can still team in UWA. I’ll be wrestling as a singles superstar in
SCW.”
“Are you sure you can do both?”
“I know I can do both. I’m the fucking Crown Jewel of Professional
Wrestling!”
Kimberly
sighs.
“Ok, I believe you, but I still doubt that
Tabitha or Sophie will like this plan very much.”
“They’ll like it, Kim. They won’t have much choice because I’m going
to do this regardless of what anyone else thinks. It’s time I thought about myself for a
change, Kim.”
Kimberly
nods her head.
“I agree, and I am glad you are thinking
about yourself, but still, I think you should at least calm down and listen to
me. There perhaps are a few factors you
may not be considering…”
“…what factors?”
Kimberly
grins.
“Just listen, babe. Calm yourself and listen. Listen before doing anything rash.”
Will Marie
listen to reason? And it’s a shock that
Kimberly Williams IS that voice of reason…but nevertheless, Marie remains
silent the rest of the way home, listening to what her twin sister has to say.

Present Day
On Camera
==========
October 18th,
2015…that was the date that it all began; it was the beginning of a new era in
the UWA as a force rose to power, an unstoppable force that would dominate UWA
for an entire calendar year…
…the
#GingerNation.
How’s THAT
for a hasthag, Niles and Corey?
#Heartbreakers, is it? Well, the
#GingerNation were hashtagging before hashtagging was cool. #GingerNation. #GingerOriginals. #GingerAwesome.
You two boys
may be the newest, and I’ll even give Sophie the satisfaction of admitting that
you may even be among the cutest as well, pair of wrestlers to enter the UWA
recently, but the fact is that you still only just came to UWA. You came in against two teams that, if I had
to guess, just plain underestimated you.
The Burns
Brothers. Those two Neanderthals weren’t
very smart to begin with but their problem was that they thought their strength
could get them through. But they were
wrong. Then came my mother and aunt,
Angelica and Kayla Jones, better known as The Sisterhood.
I didn’t get
a chance to talk to them but if I had to guess, I’d say that they just looked
past you. They probably thought it was
their destiny to become UWA World Tag Team Champions. But it was not to be. You pulled off the upset.
Now you find
yourselves in rare air against the #GingerNation, the team that has dominated
UWA for over a year. And when I say
dominated, I really and truly mean dominated.
During that time we not only held the UWA World Tag Team Championship
but for a period we also had the UWA World Championship.
And still to
this day the #GingerNation is the real star of the show. Everyone else? Sidekicks.
Just look at a recent Outbreak main event. Alana Starr, the World Champion, teaming with
Victoria Salinas, the number one contender, and who did they face?
That’s
right. The #GingerNation.
I only say
this to make sure you understand just exactly who you are dealing with. This isn’t a couple of power house, brain
dead idiots. And this isn’t a pair of
veterans who are overlooking you. You
are facing the UWA World Tag Team Champions and I can promise you, I can
guarantee you, that we will not look past you.
We will not underestimate you.
After what you’ve done on Outbreak in this tournament, what you’ve had
to go through to earn this title opportunity, you have damn sure earned the
respect of yours truly, Marie Annabelle Jones.
Though I
can’t say the same for Sophie.
You are a
legitimate threat and I will be ready for war.
I will be ready to defend the titles.
And this won’t be easy for you boys or for the #GingerNation. This will be a hard fought war, fought to the
bitter end, because the #GingerNation will never give an inch and I’m pretty
sure you won’t give up so easily, either.
Especially not after what you had to go through to get here.
No, Sophie
and I may not be on the same page right now.
And you know, you may be thinking that it gives you an edge. You may think that with our bickering you
will have an easy path to the titles.
You’d be
making the same damn mistake the Burns Brothers made and The Sisterhood made if
you even for a second think that. So
trust me when I say that while Sophie and I may not exactly like each other
right now, I can still promise you that we BOTH like being champions and we
will do everything within our power to make sure we are STILL champions after
Against All Odds has come to its conclusion.
You’ve
earned your title shot, #Heartbreakers.
Congratulations. But now comes
the time when you have to put up or shut up.
Now you have to face the #GingerNation for the gold. We’ll have our match and the better team will
walk out as the UWA World Tag Team Champions…
