The scene opens as we see a 14 year old Becca Maguire, known as Rogers back then, standing in the gorilla position as she’s bouncing from foot to foot and breathes in deep before slowly exhaling. Albert Jones, the man who runs the gym that Rogers has been training at for the past few months approaches her.
Albert
Listen, Becca… forget about the talent scout out there and just do your thing. You’re one of my best students and I know you’re gonna make it big one day.
Rogers nods as she slaps herself in the face and on her arms a few times as “Fuel” by Metallica can be heard playing faintly from a portable CD player.
Albert
Go get ‘em, kid!
She nods again before bursting through the curtain and is met by a small crowd, mostly consisting of the other wrestlers who train at the gym along with some of their friends or members of their families. Becca looks around and spots the talent scout, however she quickly averts her gaze and focuses her attention on the ring where the large and intimidating black girl known as Zilla was waiting for her. The young woman then makes her way to the ring, slapping a couple of outstretched hands on the way.
Ring Announcer
And her opponent… from right here in New York City, New York… weighing in at 100 pounds! Rebecca… Rogers!
Rogers snarls at the ring announcer's introduction, no matter how many times she told him that she hated being called Rebecca, he insisted on introducing her that way. She reaches the ring and hops up onto the apron before climbing through the ropes and then the turnbuckle, raising her arms as she looks around at the small crowd again before hopping back down and meeting Zilla in the center of the ring with Albert who will be officiating their match.
Albert
Alright, girls! I wanna good, clean wrestling match, okay?! Now shake hands!
Becca extends her hand for the handshake and Zilla accepts it before she pulls Rogers towards her and drops her with a hard clothesline and Albert immediately gets between Becca and Zilla.
Albert
I said a good, clean wrestling match, Zilla! Wait for the damn bell!
Albert then turns his attention to Rogers who gets to her feet, rubbing at her collar bone.
Becca
What the Hell is her problem?
Albert
Don’t worry about it… are you okay?
Rogers nods and Albert calls for the bell and the start of the match and Zilla charges at Becca who manages to side step at the last second before beginning to light her up in the corner with some knife edge chops.
Becca
What the Hell is your problem, Zilla?!
Rogers goes for another chop but Zilla ducks it, sending Becca into the turnbuckle and Zilla begins to deliver stiff knees to her gut.
Zilla
That spot as a professional wrestler is mine, bitch! Not yours!
Zilla grabs Rogers’ wrist and hits her with an Irish whip into the opposite corner, charging behind and then squashing her in the corner with a splash causing Becca to slump down in the corner.
Zilla
You hear me?!
Albert walks over to the two women and focuses his attention on Zilla.
Albert
C’mon, Zilla… ease up a bit, yeah?
Zilla snarls at Albert before grabbing Rogers by the hair and drags her up to her feet, she then hoists her up above her head and then dumps her over the top rope way to close to the ring so as Becca falls, her left knee smashes off the apron on her way down and a pop is heard.
Becca
FUCK! MY KNEE!
Rogers immediately grabs her left knee and screams in pain as Albert immediately exits the ring to check on her as the fans in attendance go silent.
Albert
Becca?! Are you okay?!
Becca shakes her head hard as tears stream down her face before Albert throws up the X symbol with his arms and a couple of the male wrestlers training at the gym hop the barricade to assist Albert in getting Rogers up and to the back so they can get her to the hospital for her shattered knee as the scene fades.

On Camera
The scene re-opens as we see a wooden chair in front of the camera as Becca “Bruiser” Maguire walks into view. She grabs the chair and flips it so it’s back is facing the camera as she sits down on it backwards so she’s facing the camera. Resting her arms on the back of the chair, she glares into the camera with a snarl on her face.
Bruiser
So I fuckin’ lost to my wife… again! And ya know somethin’? I’m sick and fuckin’ tired o’ seein’ these wrestlers in their mid-twenties with a several year career with multiple fuckin’ championship reigns under their belt! I’m thirty fuckin’ six and my wrestlin’ career is only two years old and how many fuckin’ championships do I have to my name?!
She holds up her index finger.
Bruiser
One! Fuckin’ one!
Bruiser lets out a growl.
Bruiser
And now… the very show that I won my one and only championship to date is makin’ its return… the fifteenth episode o’ Ammo! And I look at the fuckin’ card and I see the likes o’ Chris Mosh… who has already started runnin’ his God damn mouth about how he’s gonna be known as Mr. Ammo?! Sit the fuck down ya gammy gowl! Ya’ll ain’t won shit since Mile High returned and yet all ya fuckin’ do is run ya mouth while Ginger Knox sucks ya cock!
Maguire shakes her head in disgust.
Bruiser
Then ya got the likes o’ Miss Wrestlin’ II who walks around here like she fuckin’ owns the place and reckons she’s gonna be makin’ waves here in Mile High Wrestlin’? And what about that dumb fuckin’ model, Anastasia Baudelaire?! Ya’ll really think ya can just jump from a modeling career into a wrestlin’ rin’?! Do me a fuckin’ favor lass… and go back to fuckin’ wrestlin’ school and actually pay ya fuckin’ dues before even considerin’ ya’ll can han’ with the likes o’ me!
She clenches her fists in anger.
Bruiser
And as for yaself, Kate Steele?! Ya’ll better stay outta my fuckin’ way too if ya know what’s good for ya!
Bruiser scoffs and shakes her head.
Bruiser
And o’ course, that leads me to my opponent for Ammo’s return… Azurine Vebbins…
The camera slowly moves in closer as Maguire glares daggers into the camera lens.
Bruiser
I bet ya’ll wanna be considered o’ bein’ the face o’ Ammo too, aye lass? I bet ya’ll think that coz o’ ya bein’ the last Ammo Champion that ya’ll would be a shoe in o’ bein’ the face o’ Ammo? WELL THAT AIN’T FUCKIN’ HAPPENIN’ AS LON’ AS I’M HERE!!!
She shoots to her feet and tosses the chair to the side in anger and the wooden piece of furniture smashes against the wall.
Bruiser
I’m fuckin’ done playin’ nice! I’m fuckin’ done showin’ ya’ll respect whether ya deserve it or not!
The Shieldmaiden walks closer to the camera with a cocked eyebrow.
Bruiser
How lon’ ya’ll been doin’ this now, Vebbins?! Six years?! And how many fuckin’ championships have ya won?! I ain’t lettin’ ya’ll take this away from me! Just like everyone else I mentioned earlier! None o’ ya’ll are gonna be the fuckin’ face o’ Ammo! And ya’ll wanna know why that is?!
Bruiser outstretches her arms as if expecting an answer.
Bruiser
Because I’m gonna fuckin’ be the face o’ Ammo! And I DARE any o’ ya to try and fuckin’ stop me! See… I was the only fuckin’ person with the guts to get up in the face o’ Reaper and challenge that giant sum bitch to a fuckin’ match! I was the second ever Ammo Champion in the history o’ this company!
Maguire crosses her heavily tattooed arms across her chest and paces back and forth a little.
Bruiser
So ya know what Vebbins? Ya’ll can take all ya holidays… and ya’ll can shove ‘em! Coz I ain’t gonna be shushin’ ya tush on June 13th! Naw, see… I’ll be beatin’ ya’lls ass so bad that ya’ll forget who the fuck ya are, lass!
She now places her hands on her hips.
Bruiser
I spent most o’ my life trainin’ others coz I thought my career was over before it fuckin’ started… and I’ll be damned if now that I have the chance to make a name for myself… that I’m gonna let any o’ ya’ll who have been able to do this for years take that away from me! This is my fuckin’ time to shine! My time to be on the top o’ the fuckin’ mountain! So aye… come June 13th?! Ya’ll better be fuckin’ ready! Coz The Bruiser cometh!
Bruiser then marches up to the camera and slams her hand into it, forcing it to cut to black.
