Victoria Salinas is seen in her hotel room in Mexico and she doesn’t seem to be in the greatest of moods at the moment. She’s been dealing with a lot as of late, much of which has to do with what happened to her at the previous episode of Riot while also dropping the huge bombshell that the wrestling school she runs and owns in Seattle had been sold to one of her long time contemporaries and one of her biggest rivals who had planned on relocating the school to Miami. As of this moment, she is hearing an earful from a woman younger than her…
Young Woman: I just don’t understand it, Vicky…
Victoria: Casey, I know you’re a stubborn ass at times, but what is it that you don’t understand?
Casey Holliday was one of Victoria’s proteges at the Seattle Wrestling Academy and the daughter of Darren Holliday, the former owner of said academy and the man that taught her practically everything she knows about the business. She is incredibly incensed that Victoria sold off what her father built from the ground.
Casey: I’M the stubborn ass? I’m not the one that went through with a marriage to a man she never wanted to be with in the first place.
Victoria can only narrow her eyes hearing such a jolting statement.
Victoria: Right, coming from the woman that once forced people to wrestle in a potato sack and underwear back when she was a dumbass rookie wrestler…
Casey: Okay… TOUCHE… but why? I thought you wanted to do this… you know, run the school, take it to another level…
Victoria: I did… but… I can’t do that and be a wrestler at the same time. My heart is still in that ring more than anything in the world and I had to give one of those things up. Unfortunately, it had to be the school and I know the relocation to Miami is going to suck for many of the students but…
Casey: But did you have to sell it to HER? Myra fucking Lynwood? Seriously? After everything SHE put you through last year… after everything her ex-husband put you through? After YEARS of her being so fucking jealous of you and wanting to kill your career? You go and sell it to HER? I don’t care if she has all the money in the world Vicky, you betrayed my father with such a SELFISH decision.
Victoria: SELFISH?
It’s at this point where Victoria gets pissed off.
Victoria: YOU of all people don’t have a RIGHT to call anyone else selfish! I put YEARS of myself into that place… as a student, as a wrestler, as a trainer, as an owner… and you call that SELFISH? Everything I ever did for YOU is SELFISH? You have NO IDEA how much of myself I have sacrificed to make other people happy and after all that… the ONE TIME I decide to do something for MYSELF I’m the most selfish bitch on the planet? You know what would have been selfish, Casey? If I kept the school and let it bleed money knowing that there was nothing else I could have done for it! Believe me, it’s in MUCH better economic shape with Myra than it would ever be with me. I KNOW she’s changed and she’s NOT the same person, especially after her divorce, and I am willing to give her the same benefit of the doubt I gave YOU when you turned over a new leaf and decided to quit being the stupid little BITCH you were when you first broke in. I gave you a second chance when I didn’t have to! But I’M selfish? FUCK YOU!
Casey is taken aback by this clearly not expecting this sudden rage by Victoria that she has definitely held in for the past year.
Victoria: If only you knew how much I ran myself into the ground to make other people happy… you wouldn’t be calling me “selfish” and YOU of ALL people after everything I’ve done for you should know SO much better than that. I get why you’re emotional, it was your father’s school. But what else did you expect me to do? Myra was the only buyer I had. The only other choice I had was to shut it down completely and I wasn’t going to do that because doing THAT would have been selfish. So you tell me, Casey… what would you rather have? Someone that put me through shit running the school in a different city or the school being entirely gone? Don’t answer that… because it doesn’t matter. I’m the selfish one, right?
Casey sighs, obviously showing that she never wanted the conversation to get to this point.
Casey: Look, I’m sorry. I let my emotions get the better of me and all I thought about was my dad and all the work he put into it. Admittedly, I was being subconsciously selfish and I wasn’t thinking about how you felt. You have been through hell the last year or so.
Victoria: That’s quite an understatement.
Victoria shakes her head as she stands up from where she was sitting.
Victoria: So much hell… maybe I brought some of it on myself but still… god, I want to just vent it all out… the hell that I’ve been through…
Casey: Hey, save it for the promo.
This actually gets a chuckle out of Victoria.
Victoria: I could really use a vacation right now…
Almost on cue, a knock is heard on the hotel room door. Sighing, she reluctantly walks toward it and opens it, but she’s in for a much more positive surprise in the form of her fiance, Gavin.
Victoria: ...oh… um…
Gavin: Surprise…
Victoria essentially forgets about the stress she just went through.
Gavin: It was about a year ago we reconnected right here in Mexico, remember?
Victoria: Yeah, I do…
She steps aside to allow him to walk in.
Casey: I’ll talk to you later, Vicky. I may not agree with what you did but… I understand and I think it’ll be better for you.
Casey walks out of the room, closing the door behind her.
Gavin: Everything okay?
Victoria: Yeah… now they are. Casey just didn’t like the fact that I sold her dad’s old school… and I get it but… I had to. For myself and for my career, it’s the best thing. It’s not the school’s fault but… splitting my life between training and wrestling not only exhausted me but it also detracted my focus from the ring, you know? It’s just crazy that two straight summers, I make this big decision that’s right for me and my life and it’s considered “selfish” by some.
Gavin: When was the last time you actually took a vacation from this?
Victoria: I… don’t think I ever have… honestly. Almost 10 years of this and not once have I ever taken a break.
Victoria sighs.
Victoria: It’s not in my nature to do that though…
Gavin: Hey, selling the school is at least a step in the right direction for you.
Victoria: I’ve got one match to deal with this weekend… and then we’ll see from there. If anything, I’m just glad that the worst of this one year hell I’ve lived through is finally over… even if it still kind of burns within me somewhere…
Gavin: If you have to let it go during your match, then by all means…
Victoria chuckles at this, liking the idea.
Victoria: Yeah… she kind of deserves that anyway, honestly…
Victoria smiles, showing she’s not as stressed out as she’s been as of late, even with the events of the previous Riot. She knows that the worst of her self-described one-year hell is over but at the same time, she’s not letting her guard down. Revenge is surely on her mind going into her first supershow in Millennium Wrestling, but with a big burden lifted off of her shoulders at this point, perhaps now she’ll be able to focus better than she has in quite some time. Whether that will drive her to a win this weekend though… is an entirely different matter altogether.
