MAINSTREAM WRESTLING 92
SUNDAY - 10/9/2022
BALL ARENA
DENVER, COLORADO
MAINSTREAM WRESTLING IS LIVE FROM DENVER AND WE’RE INSIDE BALL ARENA. THE HOME OF YOUR DENVER NUGGETS!
MCKAYLA LEWIS: Welcome Everyone to Denver, Colorado! Tonight begins the Road to the Six Year Anniversary!
CHARLES HUDSON: We’ve got a huge main event in store for you here tonight but first Kevin Bombay is kicking off the show!
KEVIN BOMBAY: Ladies and Gentlemen! Thank you for joining us for MAINSTREAM 93! On Friday we release the names of this years three headliners for the 2022 Hall of Fame! Let’s roll the video package…
“HOLD ON JUST ONE SECOND…”
There is a pause in the air and then a collectively shocked tone among the audience when JULIANNA DIMARIA walks through the curtains with a microphone in her hands.
JULIANNA DIMARIA: You’re not going to have this announcement without me…especially if my name is involved here.
Julianna heads down the ramp and into the ring, with the shocked atmosphere slowly giving way to a steady flow of cheers.
JULIANNA DIMARIA: When I first learned about this, I have to admit I was shocked. I mean, when I was here, there was no doubt in my mind that I was the most dominant wrestler, regardless of gender, on this roster. Before there was Emma Douglas, before there was Skye Healy… oh by the way, one upped you AGAIN on something because DUH, I’ll always be one step ahead of you… there was ME! And I admit, I was shocked because it seemed like when I was here, there wasn’t that much of an appreciation for what I was doing… but you know… that was then and this is now…
Bombay tries to speak, but she’s not having it.
JULIANNA DIMARIA: Shut your mouth, Bombay! These people need to hear me talk!
The crowd cheers for this, but Julianna’s eyes narrow.
JULIANNA DIMARIA: Funny… the last time I was here, I could’ve remembered you people CHEERING as Mariano Fernandez rode off into the sunset at my expense… hell… I remember I was basically forgotten about after I left and you want to bestow this Hall of Fame honor on me? I mean, that’s great and don't get me wrong on that. But how GENUINE is it? Does this company want me in because they really want me in or do they want me in just to have a big name to brag about? I mean, if being inducted with the same class as MARIANO wasn’t adding insult to injury, how about that TWEET ANNOUNCEMENT huh? How about how Mariano was tagged in that tweet despite the fact that he ‘rode off into the sunset’ and how about AJ Morales being tagged in that tweet despite the fact that he hasn’t been seen or heard from in years? How about the fact that I WASN’T?
“Yeah… that’s right! The way it looks to me is that this is a backhanded honor. You know what it looks like? Like this company VALUES those two over ME despite the fact that I was the one putting this company on my back while AJ disappeared to god knows where and while Mariano was just going “mang this” and “mang that” only accomplishing something or doing something when it’s most convenient for him. You don’t even bother tagging ME in that announcement tweet? On top of the fact that you forgot for so long that I existed? Get out of here with that! You people in this building and everyone that’s a fan of this company forgot that I existed so what you can do is take those fake, empty little cheers you gave me when I came out here and you can all SHOVE IT!”
Bombay stands by shocked while those cheers she mentioned turned to boos.
JULIANNA DIMARIA: And you know something… when people think ‘Hall of Fame’... they think of celebrating a career that is already ‘past’. I turn 28 years of age later this month, I don’t look like someone that’s past it at all… and I don’t even come close to that. So yeah, go ahead and put me in your Hall of Fame! I’ll take that honor, no matter how backhanded it looks. But I’m NOT going to let this honor be the END of my story here. In fact, I am NOT going to allow the enduring image of one of the most overlooked, if not THE most overlooked, title reigns in Mainstream history be someone riding off into that sunset at MY expense… MANG… and Mariano if you’re watching this…
Julianna pauses to give a quick middle finger to the camera.
JULIANNA DIMARIA: …you got lucky ONE time among the many times I beat your ass and that’s NOT going to be how it ends for me here. I’m going to remind all of you why I WAS the best… why I am STILL the best… because this Hall of Fame honor won’t be the end… it’ll be the BEGINNING!
Julianna throws down the microphone and exits the ring.
CHARLES HUDSON: Somebody is going to have to check on Bombay’s jaw and help him pick it up off the ground.
MCKAYLA LEWIS: Julianna DiMaria is back in Mainstream Wrestling and she’s not just here for the Hall of Fame induction! I never dreamed I would see her back CHARLES and I’m not the only one—just look at Kevin Bombay and everybody else here in the live audience…there completely shocked!
CHARLES HUDSON: We’re going to take a commercial break, digest what we just seen and heard and we’ll be right back with more Mainstream Wrestling!
