Subject: The gold is where the great go....

The scene fades in on a monitor. On the monitor is the image of Ghost Dancer, standing in the ring and delivering his latest statement of intent about his match with Pantera. He tells of his long standing in the circuit, his tradition of being a shoot wrestler and his definite intention to win. The shot moves away from the monitor to reveal a small dressing room, complete with tv/vcr combo and a couch. Sitting on the couch is Pantera, decked out in her all-black wrestling gear, very similar to the last time we saw her, and she has a remote in hand, which she presses a button on, and the image of Ghost Dancer fades into blackness. She turns and faces the camera.

Pantera: You're absolutely right, Ghost Dancer. This is about the two of us going out there and wrestling. No fake showmanship, but a genuine want and desire to compete. Now you talk about the fact that you're a shoot wrestler, even using the very old 'hooker' term that the NWA brought about, and even before them. But what you have to understand is that I also come from a tradition, Ghost Dancer. My roots are Latin, Mexican to be exact. And I am proudly one hundred percent Mexican. I don't mention it a lot, but this time I am. Because we Mexicans have our own tradition of wrestling, lucha libre, 'free wrestling'. Don't make a mistake on this, Ghost Dancer. We fight and we wrestle as hard and maybe harder than the American tradition. We fought in old halls where the floors didn't have matting, they just had hard wood or even concrete. We didn't have the flashy lights and the music videos. We have our masks, and we have our pride. For a luchador to lose his mask is to lose all respect amongst his people. Luchadors like Mil Mascaras, The Blue Demon and even Rey Misterio Jr. are names everyone in the wrestling world knows and respects for their talents.

As Pantera speaks, there's a definite strong Mexican accent that's coming into her voice, as she seems very passionate about this.

Pantera: There are moves in this sport that we invented, like the hurricanrana and the suicide tope. We...I....know all about the shoot wrestling style, Ghost Dancer. Ask those who have seen my blood spilt in and out of the ring and they will know that Pantera is not one who walks away from the pain that's needed to achieve the glory. Only the gold is where the great go, Ghost Dancer. And if beating you on national television is what I have to do to resume my quest for the gold, then that's exactly what I'll have to do. There is no pain, no sacrifice too great in the ring for that. You warn me that I only have to miss one high-flying move for you to win the match; I warn you that I only have to hit one to end the match for you. You warn me that on the mat is where you excel, I warn you that no luchador worth their salt does not know and fear the figure-four leglock or the STF. I will give as good and better than what I get, Ghost Dancer, because Pantera, La Pantera, The Panther, will stalk you and look for your weakness. All men have one and the true predator knows how to strike. And when yours is found, the end will come swiftly via the Cutting Edge and you will know that although I respect and admire your skill, I will not let you walk away from the ring with the win to your credit. And that is all I have to say.

And with that very abrupt final statement, the scene fades to black.....
