-The scene began in the parking lot of the Atlanta Zoo, which happened to be the same City WrestleMania X was taking place. It's a very nice, pleasant and sunny day without a single cloud in the sky. Dozens of people lined up to get in as this was one of the most popular attractions Atlanta had to offer. A camera was positioned in front of a group of diva's known as The Poison Trio. Taylor and Portia were clad in very casual attire but Rayna was still overly dressed even for a simple trip to the zoo.-
Rayna Von Tosh: Hello EBWF audience. So glad you could join us. We are here today at the lovely Atlanta Zoo. And why are we here?
Taylor Wilde: Because I like the penguins!
-Taylor proudly points a thumb towards herself while Portia looks back at her and hisses.-
Portia Perez: Shut up, Taylor.
-Portia turns to Rayna with a confused look on her face. Meanwhile, Taylor makes goofy faces behind her back in the background.-
Portia Perez: Why ARE we here?
Rayna Von Tosh: Viewing these animals will allow us to tap into our fiercest instincts.
Portia Perez: ...Yeah?
Rayna Von Tosh: And they make good metaphors for wrestling promo's.
-Rayna looks over her new manicure while Portia slowly nods in understanding. Taylor suddenly lunges forward and wraps her arms around both of of her team mates. Portia tries to pry herself from this death grip.-
Taylor Wilde: I'm SO excited! All three of us get to team up for the very first time! AT WRESTLEMANIA! And AJ is on our team! She is SOOOOO COOL!
Portia Perez: Our team is pretty bad ass. Our opponents aren't going to know what hit them. We are too young, too fast and too new school. We are going to Bones Jones those suckers.
Rayna Von Tosh: I'm sorry...what?
Portia Perez: You don't know who BONES JONES is?! We're going to come at them like a 6'6'' black dude who murders people in the face! Got it?!
Rayna Von Tosh: I suppose that is a suitable approach...
Taylor Wilde: Can we go in now? Please, please, please?
-Taylor begs while hopping in place and Rayna nods in compliance. Portia motions them along as she leads the way in.-
Portia Perez: C'mon! We'll find the animal that most represents me!
-The scene made a quick cut and when it returned the Trio were standing outside of the gated fence of the Black Rhinoceros exhibit. The large, horned creatures were eating twigs and leafs and generally being enormous. Portia had her arms folded and she nodded in satisfaction. Taylor stared off into space, munching on a stick of cotton candy. Rayna looks entirely perplexed by Portia's selection.-
Rayna Von Tosh: Seriously?
Portia Perez: What?
Rayna Von Tosh: You think you are best represented by a RHINO?
Portia Perez: Uh. Yeah. Duh.
Rayna Von Tosh: And you pride yourself on being a "ninja", correct?
Portia Perez: Yep.
Rayna Von Tosh: And in what way does a rhino possibly posses the qualities of a ninja?
Portia Perez: ...They...both stab things.
Rayna Von Tosh: That would be what they refer to as "goring".
Taylor Wilde: You guys do smell a lot alike.
Portia Perez: SHUT UP, TAYLOR!
Taylor Wilde: YOU SHUT UP, PORTIA!
Rayna Von Tosh: OK, OK, let's try and focus here.
Portia Perez: Do you want to know why I'm like a rhino? Because we will both charge your ass! And it doesn't get more serious than a rhino about to charge your ass! And when it's over our opponents are going to be bloody, red rag dolls suspended in the air on my mighty horn! ...Err...fist!
-Portia balls up her hand into a tight fist and throws it skywards to further illustrate her point.-
Rayna Von Tosh: Mm. Charming. Let's go and find my animal, shall we?
-Another quick cut and the three were now in front of a large cage with rock formations designed to resemble a mountain range inside. Within all of it was a large snow leopard. It peacefully dozed away in the sun and it's striped tail gave an occasional flick.-
Portia Perez: Wow. So this is you, huh? You just lay around all day? So not cooler than a Rhino.
Rayna Von Tosh: It does NOT just lay around all day. It is graceful. And beautiful. And luxurious.
Portia Perez: And boring.
-A handler steps into the cage carrying a large bucket. It places it onto the ground as a handful of live mice scatter out.-
Taylor Wilde: Awwww! Little mouses!
Rayna Von Tosh: Mice.
-Rayna quickly corrected her.-
Rayna Von Tosh: And, as you are about to witness, it is not simply a gorgeous specimen. It is actually a very dangerous and cunning hunter. Much like myself. Smaller and weaker prey, such as our opponents, simply cannot match it's combination of speed and strength.
Taylor Wilde: ....What is the big kitty doing?
-The leopard licks it's lips and slowly begins to prowl towards the mice. Taylor is slowly but surely beginning to realize what is going to happen. The leopard opens it's mouth wide, showing off it's sharp fangs, and leaps towards the helpless creatures. Taylor gasps loudly and releases a scream of terror.-
Taylor Wilde: A-A-AHHH!!
-The scenery changes again and it starts off with a close up of Taylor's traumatized face. She shakes while Rayna and Portia are discussing something in the background.-
Rayna Von Tosh: We need to find an animal that represents AJ. Are there any animals that play video games?
-This instantly seems to give Portia an idea.-
Portia Perez: I know one!
-Portia heads through a stone tunnel and Rayna pulls Taylor along by the wrist. They stop in front of a well lit room with small cases that hold smaller types of animals. A sign above one particular display reads "EUROPEAN HEDGEHOG" and the spiny covered mammal rustles about amongst some hay.-
Rayna Von Tosh: A hedgehog?
-Portia stares at the little animal, as if expecting it to do something amazing.-
Portia Perez: C'mon! Run around! Spin into something! Jump around and kill robots! DO IT ALREADY!
Rayna Von Tosh: ...I believe the psychology of a video game hedgehog is very different from that of a real one.
Portia Perez: Well, son of a bitch!
-Portia places her hands on her hips and glares in disappointment.-
Portia Perez: And it's not even blue! HEY!
-Portia turned to shout at one of the attendants.-
Portia Perez: Where are the real hedgehogs?!
-Rayna buries a hand over her face. Taylor, snapping out of her fear induced trance, suddenly pipes in.-
Taylor Wilde: Can we find an animal that is like me?
Portia Perez: We don't have time to find which animal is the dumbest one.
-Taylor's voice cracks as if she's about to burst into tears.-
Taylor Wilde: That's not fair.
Rayna Von Tosh: YES, you can find one. Go, go, go.
-Rayna simply wants to get away from the scene Portia was creating and Taylor quickly rockets out of the area.-
Taylor Wilde: HOORAY!
-A fast edit and Taylor had found her animal. It's habitat was behind a large display of glass and Taylor had her face and palms firmly pressed against it. A baby panda. The only giant panda cub in the nation. Taylor's partners looked on with varying degrees of annoyance. Taylor had been positioned like this for what seemed like forever.-
Taylor Wilde: Baaaabyyyy pandaaaaaaaa....
Portia Perez: How is this anything like you?!
Taylor Wilde: Sooooo cute. DO. WANT.
Rayna Von Tosh: Focus on the match.
Taylor Wilde: His name is Po. His mom's name is Lun Lun. His dad's name is Yang Yang Yang. His brothers name is Xi-Lan.
Portia Perez: TAYLOR!
Taylor Wilde: OK, OK!
-Taylor pries herself away from the glass and her face and palm prints are still evident upon it.-
Taylor Wilde: Panda's are like me because they are cute and unassuming. But if you get too close it goes all RAWR and bites your face off! I'll bite our opponents faces off!
-Portia and Rayna both raise their eyebrows at this sudden display of aggression.-
Taylor Wilde: It's WrestleMania! I'll bite faces off for WrestleMania!
Rayna Von Tosh: Hopefully you won't need to do that. But is the fun part. Now we get to find animals that represent our opponents.
-The diva's were now in a forest like area where cages kept some of the animals. Inside one of them were a pack of black and white furred lemurs. Two of them were fighting over a piece of fruit, tugging and yanking at it.-
Portia Perez: Hey! Look! It's Michelle and Layla!
Rayna Von Tosh: Flawless lemurs.
Portia Perez: Psh. They haven't been looking all that flawless to me. What are they arguing about? Which one of them gets to use the brain they've been sharing all of this time?
Rayna Von Tosh: Yes, because these two do not seem to be on the same page at all as of late. They argue in the locker rooms, they argue in the ring and they even argue on twitter. Not very becoming at all.
Taylor Wilde: We've wrestled them a buncha times, haven't we? Even when they were on the same page they couldn't beat us! And we totally know that those two can dish it out but they can't take it!
Portia Perez: So how are they going to stand a chance against us when they can't even stand each other and they've never worked with their teammates?
Rayna Von Tosh: Simply put...they won't. That is going to be a key in our victory. The three of us are a cohesive unit and we all appreciate what Ms. AJ Lee is capable of.
Taylor Wilde: She's SOOO COOL!
Rayna Von Tosh: A unified approach will always be able to overcome disarray. Poor timing on their part. They decided to fall apart just in time to give us a huge victory.
-The camera watches as the lemurs roll about and continue to fight with one another. After a scene hop a flamingo standing on one foot is shown. It's almost like a statue as it stands in a pool of water, it's pink feathers being blown about by the wind.-
Taylor Wilde: This is Stacy, isn't it?
Rayna Von Tosh: Indeed. Tall. Nice to look at. But mostly useless.
Portia Perez: Hey! You wuss pink bird! We're calling you STACY KEILBER! Want to do something about it?!
Taylor Wilde: Yeah! You....BUUUUUTT FACE!
Rayna Von Tosh: And much like Stacy Keibler, it doesn't do much of anything. She was a former Women's Champion but what has she done to regain the title? Has she focused herself at all? If you consider late nights at clubs and drunk dancing to be focus than I suppose she has. She lost that title and she merely gave up on being the best. I'm afraid that we cannot relate to that attitude.
Portia Perez: When she's staring across the ring at the four of us she's going to give up again! Before the bell even rings! If she wants to hit the 'Mania after parties we'll make sure this match is over quickly for her! She's probably gonna live it up a little too much before the show even starts and show up wasted anyway.
Taylor Wilde: She might be like eleventy feet tall but I know we can wrestle rings around her! Bigger they are, bigger they fall!
-Almost as if the flamingo can hear these threats, it buries it's head into the pool of water. The final animal of the trip is soon displayed as the magic of editing shows a Gulf Coast Sheep grazing on blades of grass. It seems perfectly content in it's happy, woolly world. The Trio stand beside it as it pays them no mind and continues eating. It's a part of the petting zoo so getting this close isn't a problem.-
Rayna Von Tosh: And here is Torrie's spirit animal of sorts.
Taylor Wilde: Baaaaaaa.
Portia Perez: Lot's of body hair?
Rayna Von Tosh: Not what I intended. No. They have the same personality. Nice. But too nice. Docile. No killer instinct whatsoever.
Portia Perez: That does sound like her, doesn't it?
Rayna Von Tosh: Torrie is a multiple time champion but I have been able to defeat her on two separate occasions. So you can believe me when I tell you that she is unable to adapt to the new level of competition that we bring.
Portia Perez: But she won't do anything about it. She's just going to keep right along grazing. Maybe it will take a good kick in the head from someone like us to kick her into high gear. But even then she just can't compare to what we can do in the ring.
Rayna Von Tosh: I couldn't have said it better myself. Right Taylor? ....Taylor?
-The pair look about but aren't able to locate their blonde friend. Until they notice her in the next exhibit over. She is riding on the shell of a four hundred pound Aldabra Tortoise. It moves about slowly as if it doesn't even notice that she is on top of it. An exasperated voice comes over the speaker.-
Attendant: PLEASE DO NOT CLIMB INTO THE EXHIBITS. RIDING THE ANIMALS IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED.
-The final scene shows The Poison Trio in the parking lot as the sun is beginning to set behind them. Rayna and Portia both glare over at a sheepish Taylor-
Rayna Von Tosh: Well, before we are banned from the zoo...
Taylor Wilde: He wanted me to...
Rayna Von Tosh: Our mission statement is very clear. Victory and nothing less. We are going to show why we are the future of the diva's division.
Portia Perez: Plus we're gonna get that sweet "Hey! Someone we know!" pop from a sold out crowd.
Rayna Von Tosh: We are kicking off WrestleMania and we certainly intend to begin the party with a bang. And we'll do it at the expense of Stacy Keilber, Torrie Wilson and LayCool. I'm afraid we won't take a loss in front of such a huge audience. Our stars are going to burn the brightest.
Taylor Wilde: For realsies!
-Looking to make a huge impression, the trio were clearly prepared for their WrestleMania encounter as the scene faded out.-
