Live from the Future Shock Arena in Boston, Massachusetts
October 20, 2020A FFW logo is shown stuck on a travel bag as it’s being pulled through the airport. “Leave It All Behind” by Sleeping with Sirens can be heard playing over it. The bag belongs to Arabella Townshend as she heads towards her gate before she gets stopped by a mother and her daughter for an autograph. As she leans down to take a selfie with the little girl, one of the monitors hanging is showing clips from Future Shock.
When you look at my life, tell me what do you see?
I’m only human, so don’t expect too much from me.
I lost my faith, what have I become?
I don't think I can be safe from what I'm running forThe clips feature: Mara Werth getting to her feet and having her hand raised with the Future Shock Championship over her head, Jacqui Minogue hitting her finisher in Saitama, Anna and Luna Cortez bickering before walking in different directions, Su Wakuda reaching for a tag from Jennifer Song, and Gemma Pierce looking at her reflection, and Leighana sitting up as she looks over to an opponent face down on the floor.
Will you remember me
If I were to fall into the sky?
And what will they think of me
If I leave it all behind?
When I leave it all behind?Arabella continues through the airport, and takes a seat in her terminal. She checks her cell phone to see her itinerary, and gets tapped on the shoulder by another fan who wants a hug. This puts a grin on her face as she returns it, and they show her videos on their phone of her and several of the Prospects.
Would you be so surprised if I gave up tonight?
I'm barely breathing, I wanna kill the pain I feel inside
But I won't quit for the people I love
So I'll say I'm fine until the day I fucking see the lightThe clips show: Cait Flanagan coming to the ring and throwing money over her shoulder, Alessandra and Nadia sitting on adjacent turnbuckles and flashing a smile to one another, Sydney Christensen delivering a tombstone piledriver, the Stone Sisters greeting the ringside fans as they head towards the ring, and Laurie ignoring Jane as she speaks with Sara backstage.
If you feel like you are nothing
If you feel like letting go
I'll be your hope when you are hopeless
Together, we are not alone
You're not aloneThe doors open as Arabella heads through the gate to board her flight. And as the door with the Future Shock lightning logo seals shut behind her, we go live inside the arena to a roaring crowd. The camera pans the interior with a new stage design, and spotlights flooding the crowd as they see themselves on the video wall. We then cut ringside with Zack and his broadcast partner, Claire.
Zack: Impact 4 proved yet again that the FFW and Future Shock rosters were on the same level as they tied again. The women of Future Shock are back home here in Boston, and thank you for joining us. Impact 4 saw a lot more than matches, because outside of those, the biggest news was the first public interview of Angelina Fantastica and perhaps the only thing bigger, Claire, is Global Wars is coming to Future Shock!
Claire: Yeah...there’s a lot coming out of Impact from the Matriarchy’s continuing rampage of destruction, some incredible wrestling matches, Angelina Fantastica addressing why she has come back to Future Shock, laying her cards on the table and, as you mentioned, Global Wars coming to Future Shock. More and more details have been released over the last couple of weeks and we now know the six nations and their representatives in the competition. We also know that it’ll be starting in two weeks, building to a climax in the new year!!
Zack: I’m sure we’ll hear more about the Global Wars competition tonight, no doubt in the new segment debuting tonight. Gabrielle Crimson, former Future Shock Champion and ring announcer, will host the Lightning Round tonight with one of the Global Wars competitors as her guest. I haven’t been told who at this point, but I’m with Jake. I wouldn’t be surprised if we see the Diamond Champion joining her.
Claire: The Lightning Round promises to be a little bit more in-depth and maybe a little harder hitting with it being more of a talk show style than the interviews we normally see on Future Shock. I’m sure that everyone’s favourite former ring announcer and all around nice lady Gabrielle Crimson will have one heck of a first guest lined up for tonight!
Zack: The next Future Shock event is four weeks from tonight on November 17 when we will be in Busan, South Korea for the South Korea Spectacular only on FFW All Access. One match we already know has been announced, and that will be for the Future Shock Championship when Mara Werth defends against “Sensational” Stacey Sky. We do have another match officially added to that card, the in-ring return to Future Shock of Angelina Fantastica when she meets Jacqui Minogue after the wild melee we saw in the six woman tag a few weeks ago. With the mood the Matriarchy has been in, Claire, that’s certainly not much of a welcome mat for Angelina, is it?
Claire: Angelina is certainly leaping into the deep end with both feet. The Matriarchy’s mood hasn’t improved any in the last few weeks since the events of Sydney and I’m sure things have only gotten worse with Adam deciding their actions warranted Australia being excluded from the Global Wars Series. Jacqui might well look to vent all those frustrations on the returning Fantastica.
Zack: As for tonight though, we’ll see the top two Nova Championship contenders square off for the first time one on one since our 63rd episode, Claire. That’s been a while! Arabella Townshend will face off with the American representative for Global Wars Luna Cortez.
Claire: This could be a real big night for both Arabella and Luna. Whoever wins will certainly push themselves towards the front of the queue to face Mikayla Stone for the Nova Championship and for Luna, this could be a chance for her to build momentum for Global Wars. I’m sure she’d love to be the first ever American to win the series.
Zack: We’re also gonna see what I think, Claire, will be a hellacious grudge match tonight when Su Wakuda of the Raging Dragons meets Victoria Havoc of the Doomsday Sisters. You mentioned what happened at the opening of Impact 4, and I gotta believe Su has been chomping at the bit for this since it was announced.
Claire: She was probably chomping at the bit for this opportunity the moment they were attacked backstage and no doubt was bombarding Adam to make this match. We know that Victoria is big, strong, powerful and dangerous...but I think she and Sienna might have made a huge mistake in targeting the Raging Dragons and tonight Su is going to show them the error of their ways.
Zack: We’ll also see River Campbell in action tonight. For some time now, she’s been looking for a match with Sydney Christensen. And with her manager, she really had to go through a lot to get it. She’ll finally get that match tonight against Canada’s Global Wars representative and her manager.
Claire: River and Doc’s cause might have been helped a lot more if they’d spoken to Adam directly and not tried to make this match in tiny, out of the way places across America. I mean, get taking the show to the fans but that only works if there ARE fans. Still, here we are and River is going to have to be on the lookout for Dante and for Sydney’s bat because we saw at Impact that Christensen doesn’t care too much if she gets caught so long as she makes her point.
Zack: As you can tell, folks, it’s going to be a loaded broadcast as we barrel towards the South Korea Spectacular on November 17th. So let’s get it started, and send things up to our exhibitionist ring announcer. Lexi, it’s all yours!
Lexi gives the viewers a flash as she steps between the ropes into the ring, armed with a microphone as she heads towards the center to begin the introductions.
Lexi: The opening contest of Future Shock is scheduled for one fall to a finish.
The lights extinguish inside the arena only for a hockey style goal horn to sound; causing a spotlight to snap on and highlight the one, the only, River Campbell stood at the top of the stage playing to the crowd, waving her arms to get them to join in with the clapping and the opening “Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh’s…” of “The Enforcer” by Monster Truck. She nods her head, revelling in it as the lyrics kick in.
“I'm not looking for a fight
If you come at me tonight
I'm gonna make you sorry.
Don't try my patience, son
There's a reason I'm the one,
People stand aside for.”
With a smirk on her face she sets off down the ramp, beating her chest as she does so. She only made it about ⅔ of the way down the ramp before Sydney interrupted her entrance, and took off behind her with her bat in hand. She cracked it across River’s back, sending her forward as the music cut off while the canadian used the blunt end of the aluminum bat to drive it into River’s back repeatedly till she was down on the floor on all fours. Dante headed next, swinging something in his hands amid massive boos from the Boston fans in attendance.
Claire: Sydney’s wasting no time!! And I guess she can’t be disqualified if the bell doesn’t ring!!!
Sydney drove the bat into River’s ribs this time as she was trying to get up. Sydney handed it to Dante before she pulled the guitarist up, and fired her into the steps. Campbell struck back first against the steel steps before Sydney took her bat back. She measured and drove a running knee into River’s ribs.
Zack: Sydney used that bat against Lilly at Impact, and helped set a trap for Cassandra. But Steen isn’t here tonight, and this is all Sydney’s machinations right now.
Campbell clutched her ribs in pain before Sydney dragged her forward by her hair. The newcomer to Future Shock threw a few weak punches into her stomach to get free, but was too busy coughing after all the shots to her ribs. Christensen scooped her up, and slammed her to the floor before Dante handed her what he had been holding: a pair of handcuffs.
Zack: Handcuffs….we’re gonna need some help out here. I don’t think we’re gonna see a match, just a mugging with a possible trip to the ER if something doesn’t change soon!
Claire: Security...or someone...has to stop Sydney. Otherwise River’s gonna have several broken ribs at best and some pretty bad internal injuries at worst.
Sydney snapped the cuffs on one of River’s wrists before pulling her up and wrapping the other side around the middle rope before she attached the other half. The guitarist hung from the middle rope, still coughing furiously but managing to catch Sydney with a couple kicks to the ribs as she came forward. She tried to break the cuffs without much luck before the camera saw security coming out of the back. Dante tried to ward them away, and Sydney used the bat to hammer blows into River’s chest repeatedly. She only got off four shots before she was disarmed by the security contingent.
Claire: Better late than never but Sydney’s done the damage to River already! The guitarist is in pretty bad shape right there. I just hope she’s not looking at two many broken ribs or any serious internal bleeding after that heinous attack!
Zack: You’re not kidding. They need to throw Sydney out of the Future Shock Arena, and take that sleazeball manager with her!
Sydney was forcefully escorted up the ramp towards the back as other members of security were freeing River from the handcuffs. When she was finally free, River collapsed to her knees holding her chest. The coughing continued as she looked up the ramp to her attacker with a death stare. Referee Stephen Wilson was followed out by a trainer before the medic knelt down next to River to give her his full attention. She could barely put words together for coughing as the referee was informed the match officially wasn’t going to happen tonight. River snapped her head towards him, and threw herself into the ring to wave Sydney back as she doubled over again in a fit of coughing.
Zack: Can you believe that? River can barely put two words together without coughing, and if I didn’t know any better, I’d say she wanted to start this match!
Claire: River’s a fighter and is stubborn and is showing that true New Yorker attitude and wants her revenge on Sydney right this moment. But Wilson and the medical team have to protect the wrestlers from themselves sometimes.
River forced her way to her feet, waving towards Sydney to come back. The Canadian watched from the ramp, glanced to her bat in her hand, and started back down the ramp before security made a human shield to block her from getting there. Campbell leaned against the ropes until the power of her coughs brought her back to her knees on the mat. Wilson and the medic both told her there wasn’t going to be a match tonight, no way no how.
Zack: Of course, Sydney is happy to oblige River now if she wants to fight still. All River had in mind for weeks was trying to establish herself against a veteran like Sydney, but she didn’t expect anything like this. Just get Sydney out of here!
Claire: Campbell wants to prove herself as a wrestler and as a threat here in Future Shock and fighting a woman like Sydney who has been in Nova Championship contention since the title was announced would’ve been one Hell of a way for her to achieve that. Sydney and her bat just had other plans tonight!
Security once again escorted Sydney back up the ramp before another trainer joined River as they started to get her out of the ring. They put her arms over their shoulders and slowly started to walk her towards the back as she argued with them that she was still capable of having the match right now. All that was said amidst hard coughing and some blood being spit up as a result. The trainer told her it wasn’t happening, and that they were taking her for x-rays.
Claire: I’m not sure if that’s warrior spirit or borderline stupidity from River still wanting the fight tonight - especially when she can barely draw breath and is spitting up blood.
Zack: There is no way they are going to allow that to happen. The well being of the talent is the top priority of FFW, including Future Shock. River will be on her way to a local hospital to get checked out, and we’ll try to have an update as soon as we can get it.
Along with the trainers and security, River was escorted to the back just as Sydney had been moments ago. The camera then went back to Zack and Claire in the booth.
Zack: We apologize, fans, for not being able to deliver on that match we promised tonight. But clearly Sydney Christensen had other plans tonight. There’s still other matches on tap. And it looks like our crew is getting the ring set up for the Lightning Round.
Claire: I doubt this is going to be the end between Sydney and River, if anything it’s just going to fire River up more and she’s going to be hellbent on vengeance the moment that she’s cleared to return to action. We’ve still got a packed night coming up though.
Zack: Don’t touch the remote. We’ll be right back with the Lightning Round with Gaby, and the grudge match between Su and Victoria in just a moment.
The camera shows River being helped through the backstage area before Future Shock takes a commercial break. As "Endless Possibilities"'s first guitar chords crank the sound system, some of the arena lights blink in pink, crimson red and white. The crowd is cheering as Gabrielle Crimson appears on the top of the entrance aisle and looks around, smiling at the audience. She then blows a kiss to the audience before making her way down the ramp.
Lexi: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome… GABRIELLE! CRIMSON!!!
She jumps onto the ring apron and then slides into the ring passing between the bottom and the middle ropes, proceeding to climb the turnbuckles, looking into the crowd and feeling that adrenaline rush again, blowing kisses at the audience. After that, she jumps back to the mat and bounces a bit, always smiling, before she's given a microphone.
After Gabrielle’s music dies out, she takes a moment to look at the crowd around her, clutching her microphone with a giddy smile to her face.
Gabrielle: Wow, I… Really missed being around you guys! This is so awesome!
She reacts to the houseful of cheers she gets with a little shimmy of happiness, as she’s just so happy to be around her crowd again.
Gabrielle: So… As you know, I couldn’t leave Future Shock, even after I stopped wrestling. And that’s why I’m here tonight. So welcome, one and all… To the LIGHTNING ROUND!
Of course, the lighting of the arena changes slightly, the blue neon changing to a light pink, as the gigatron atop the stage shows the logo of the Crimson Cat’s new segment.
Gabrielle: Every edition of Future Shock, I’ll touch on the important subjects happening in this brand. I’ll be interviewing the major players involved, and I’ll give you everything you need to know what to expect from Future Shock! Not to mention… Let’s just say I’m good friends with the commissioner, I may be breaking some news every now and again.
Wink!
Gabrielle: And there’s no bigger subject in Future Shock right now than Global Wars now becoming a Future Shock staple, and no longer a main roster one. Six countries will be represented in this year’s edition, some of which are being featured for the first time ever. In case you missed it, let’s go through the participants this year!
As Gabrielle refers to the main screen, the participants are shown one by one, in the order the former Future Shock Champion calls them.
Gabrielle: For the first time, Italy is being represented in Global Wars… By one half of Target Acquired, Alessandra Esposito!
The crowd reacts to her name with a big round of cheers, as expected. That’s going to change real fast.
Gabrielle: The Proud North comes back to the competition, now represented by Sydney Christensen!
The cheers immediately turn to boos as the Canada representative is shown. Perfectly understandable, especially following Impact.
Gabrielle: The three main countries in the United Kingdom are all represented, too, and England’s representative is the “World Piercer”, Gemma Pierce!
The “World Piercer” gets a mixed reaction from the crowd, before the image changes, and the cheers are back!
Gabrielle: Representing Scotland, the baby of the McFarlane dynasty, the “Human Pinball”... And my personal favorite… Carys McFarlane!
Gabrielle smirks and winks to a camera while the crowd cheers for her girlfriend.
Gabrielle: Northern Ireland comes to Global Wars for the second time, represented by Gold Standard’s own, and Future Shock Cup holder, Cait Flanagan!
Boos. Many. Thunderous and deafening.
Gabrielle: And, of course, since this IS America… Representing the United--
Look out, they're closing in on you now
Wake up, or you’ll wake up six feet down
Nobody's got your back in this town
Knock 'em. In the. Teeth. NOW!The intro to Set It Off's "Killer in the Mirror" starts on the sound system, and lights start blinking in random colors as Luna Cortez walks onto the entrance ramp. She's soon joined by her manager Christian Kincaid with a box under his arm, as he stands right beside her to show her off for the crowd. She stops right before the ramp, taking a spin and stopping in a particular pose, winking for the cameras before turning on her heels and running her hands up her slender body and then bringing them above her head, only to then point to the ring... and then wave off the booing audience. Shaking her head, Luna then starts strutting down the entrance ramp, rolling her eyes at the fans in attendance as she makes her way to the ring. Gabrielle can be seen clearly rolling her eyes with a disappointed expression.
When Luna climbs into the ring, she makes her way to the ropes facing the hard camera, stepping onto the second rope and sitting on the top rope, her back turned to the hard cam and the audience, as she makes a pose similar to the one she did atop the ramp, winking at the cameras before she waves the crowd off once again and hops back down to the ring, making her way to Gabrielle and unceremoniously snatching the microphone from her hand.
Luna: I’ll take it from here, pussy-cat. Representing the Land of the Brave and the Free, Texas’ own perfect package, the 10-Star Mastermind, Wrestling’s Biggest Natural Phenomenon… And, from now on, Future Shock’s own Miss America… LUNA! CORTEZ!!!
While the crowd boos that to hell and back, the Wildcat is handed another microphone, as she leans on the corner of her set and gives Luna a stink-eye.
Gabrielle: … rrrrright. Well, since you’re here, we might as well go on with the program. America--
Luna: Why do YOU need a show to talk about Global Wars: Future Shock, woman? France isn’t in the competition, and it’ll never be. Go swallow some frogs; like I said, I’ll take it from here.
Gabrielle: … you know Nadia Beaulieu is from France, right?
Christian gets his own microphone.
Christian: Yeah, but that’s not really got anything to do with Global Wars. She’s not in it, her partner is. But see with this being Future Shock’s first run at Global Wars, it made sense to me why they chose Luna here as Miss Future Shock America. She’s practically your All-American girl. She’s from the Lone Star State, she had humble upbringings, and she’s as fun-loving as they come. There’s no one MORE American than Luna Cortez in all of Future Shock. Not to mention with even half as many stars to their name.
Gabrielle: Well, I was fixing to ask, actually -- America is the most represented country both in Future Shock and FFW. What would you say gave Luna the edge this year so that she would be chosen as the U.S.A.’s representative over the rest of the girls?
Luna rolls her eyes.
Luna: And then they say I’m the one that doesn’t pay attention! Didn’t you hear what he JUST said? I’m a perfect All-American! I’m the embodiment of what America IS and NEEDS to be right now! Smart, caring, beautiful, strong, fearless! And I ALWAYS get what I want. ALWAYS.
Luna leans towards Gabrielle in a menacing way, and the Wildcat almost flinches.
Luna: I said I was going to find a way to get MY Nova Championship back, and I did. Now I’m only one match away from being a champion again. Being part of Global Wars is just another opportunity for me to show you why I should’ve NEVER lost that belt in the first place.
Christian: As a matter of fact, I have some news for your show right here on that very topic. November 17th on FFW All Access, it’s the last international stop for Future Shock in 2020 when they have a big event in South Korea. And that just happens to be the night Luna here will be challenging Mikayla Stone for the Nova Championship. Not Katie Hanley, been there and done that. Not Jacqui or whoever else. Luna. One on one. With Mikayla. For the Nova Championship!
The crowd boos raucously as Luna smirks confidently, and Gabrielle nods in acknowledgment.
Gabrielle: And if everything comes up Luna Cortez, you’ll end the year not only with the Nova Championship, but with fighting chances for a shot at Mara Werth’s Future Shock Championship down the line. After all, that’s the prize for the winner this year.
Luna then laughs vividly, like she’s just heard the best thing.
Luna: Then we can officially declare that 2021 will be the Year of Luna Cortez! I’ll be Nova Champion AND Future Shock Champion when this is all said and done! And I’m gonna do it all… FOR AMERICA!!!
Gabrielle: You, uh… can’t do that.
Luna turns to Gabrielle with a scowl.
Luna: My ass! Of course I can! I can and I will!
Gabrielle: Well, I’m pretty sure it would be awesome for you to capture the Future Shock Championship while Nova Champion, but according to FFW’s own rules, you can’t hold two singles titles at once. You’d… have to relinquish one.
Luna: … relinquish? Relinquish MY BELT?
This has definitely NOT sat well with Luna, who is starting to get red in the face as annoyance builds up HORRIBLY. Christian whispers something into Luna’s ear to bring a smile finally to her face before he continues.
Christian: You’re so negative tonight, Gaby. What happened to you? You know what? Don’t worry about it. I’m glad you’re here, because you get to be witness along with everyone in Boston to the coronation… Here, hold this for a second.
He hands the box off to Gaby before opening it.
Christian: Can I get a little spotlight here?
The arena darkens with a spotlight over only Luna before he removes a jewel-encrusted tiara of only red, white and blue gems and gently clips it to Luna’s hair.
Christian: You can’t be Miss Future Shock America without a tiara….
He reaches back into the long box, and then removes a golden scepter, which he hands to Luna next.
Christian: Or a scepter. Gaby….there she is! Miss Future Shock America!!!
Of course, the whole crowd is booing their absolute heads off, as Luna has the biggest smile on her face EVER, to the point she’s waving to the crowd like a Miss. Gabrielle… is completely dumbfounded.
Gabrielle: What the heck…
Christian: You’re right, I almost forgot!
He starts waving towards the back before a production assistant brings down a bouquet of flowers. The assistant hands it up to Christian before he gives them to Luna to hold.
Christian: Can’t forget the flowers after all. In all her glory, I give you Miss Future Shock America….LUNA CORTEZ!!
Even more boos, even more confused Gabrielle… Even harder laughing Luna.
Luna: See?! This is what I’m talking about! This is how a country should treat their idols, their historic figures, their masterminds! This is what I DESERVE from America, and let me assure you guys: I will give back just as much. Because you’re looking at greatness, baby! It’s okay to marvel!
Gabrielle takes some time to digest that before she scoffs and shakes her head.
Gabrielle: I’m sorry to add to the negativity here…
She’s obviously being sarcastic as hell.
Gabrielle: But, look, I’m not gonna lie: the crown is pretty, and everyone that knows me knows I love pretty flowers. But… What do you think separates you from the other -- ahem -- WRESTLERS? Do you think you have what it takes to FIGHT them for this shot at the Future Shock Championship?
Luna just snickers, before handing the bouquet and the scepter to CK.
Luna: Of course I do. It’s not something you’d understand, since you’re from coastal France. But the ground where you stand right now? This is America. This is where the brave and the bold thrive. This is where greatness happens, this is the greatest country in the whole goddamn world. And do you know WHY that is? Because America is the Land of the Free…
And just like that, Luna twirls and SMACKS Gabrielle with a roundhouse kick, dropping the microphone AND the Wildcat! The former wrestler collapses to the mat out of balance, before she’s forced back to her feet and lifted off the mat as Luna puts her in a double chickenwing, before executing a sit-out facebuster! The audience is booing even louder than before as Luna rolls back to her feet and skirts, retrieving her microphone and crouching before the fallen Gabrielle to finish her thoughts…
Luna: … and I’m free to do as I please.
And as she raises her hands and makes the “10 stars” taunt, “Killer in the Mirror” hits the sound system again, as CK offers her her accessories back, much to the chagrin of the jeering crowd.
Per l'ItaliaA short video package shows the upcoming Global Wars series, including all six of the women competing as well as the country they will represent. And as soon as it ends, that’s when we find Sara along with one half of Target Acquired.
Sara: The Global Wars series begins in Future Shock for the first time in the next episode, and this woman to my left will be representing Italy. I’m referring to Alessandra Esposito, and this will be the first time ever in Global Wars history that Italy has been represented. No pressure, right?
Alessandra: No… no pressure at all.
The Italian doesn’t look entirely convinced by her words but tries to cover it with a brave face.
Sara: You’ve had a small number of singles matches so far in your entire career, but this will certainly be the matches with the most importance. Were you surprised you were selected? Did you expect maybe your partner, Nadia? Take us through finding out that you’re going to be representing an entire country in Global Wars.
Alessandra: Honestly I hadn’t really thought about it prior to finding out that I would be representing Italy. It felt like such a short space of time between finding out about the Global Wars series coming to Future Shock and that I would be involved and having the hopes and dreams of my country on my shoulders. It was a lot to take in, but I am proud to have been chosen, and I will do my utmost to make sure that I do not let anyone down.
Sara: As I understand it when FFW retired the event, that’s when Adam sought to bring it here. And now here you are, and could not only represent Italy well...but find yourself challenging for the Future Shock Championship! I know you came here as a tag team, but that’s a pretty big prize that I would think anyone on the roster would love to have, tag wrestler or not. Would you agree?
Alessandra: Of course. There is nobody on the roster that would pass up an opportunity to challenge for the Future Shock Championship if they have the chance. Myself and Nadia are a tag team, but that does not mean that we would not also like to have solo successes if and when opportunity presents itself.
Sara: Now that you know the field of competitors that you’ll be competing against, do you have any particular thoughts about them? Of them all, and this is just my opinion, but England’s Gemma Pierce looks like she’s going to be a very stiff test for everyone. Who do you think could be challenging?
Alessandra: There are no easy options in Future Shock, each and every one of the participants in Global Wars will present their own challenges in my opinion.
Sara: Tell me a little about your past in Italy. How long did you live there before moving away? Is there a part of the country that’s most special for you?
Alessandra: I was born in Naples and lived there my whole life until I was about 16 or 17 and then I got an opportunity to spread my wings and I took it. I still go back as much as my schedule allows. My family would probably send a search party to find me, if I did not!
Sara: I understand we’ll find out tonight who it will be against, but your first opponent in Global Wars is on the next show. So you’ll be kicking off the whole series next Future Shock. Good luck, Alessandra!
Sara shakes her hand before the show heads elsewhere in the Future Shock Arena.
