 THIS WEEKS INTERVIEW:
LINDA RAGNAL

 [::As the scene ushers in on set, we see the lovely Melody sitting on a plush couch, a bandage covering just over her eye, from last weeks beat down by Summer. The blonde looks almost detained as she does normally she takes a drink from her bottle of water, before the camera ushers in and she tosses it to the side.::]

Melody: "Hey there I'm Melody Schwartz and this is another special edition of Ring of Beauty After Dark. I know we've been away for a while, but after the attack backstage and then training for my wrestling debut last week, I simply haven't had much in-studio time. So yeah, but here with me tonight is former ring of beauty World Champion, Miss Linda Ragnal. Linda, darling thank your for joining me on the show."

[::Linda nods to Melody, smiling.::]

Linda: "Thanks. It's good to be here. And hey, sorry about your life lately..."

[::Melody just giggles::]

Melody: "Oh please, my life is just wonderful. So anyways, enough about me, let's get into the questions. Everyone wants to know Linda, How are you and Bobbi since the whole, World Title Exchange deal? Are you still love birds?"

Linda: "Yes, I know some people are surprised, but Bobbi and I are still a couple. I don't hate her for winning the title, I don't hate that she won it off of me...I'm just really proud for her you know?"

[::Linda takes a sip from her can of Brisk iced tea, and swallows before continuing.::]

Linda: "Wrestling and real life, to me, are two different things. You can be the best of friends in and out of the ring, but no matter what, you need to give it your all. And I think that's what Bobbi and myself did at the last Primetime, win or lose. So even if I lost the title, it's a loss to someone I love, and I don't regret it."

[::Melody nodded enjoying her answer for every minute. She knew what it was like to lose, but she had held up greatly as well.::]

Melody: "I see so this Meggie character getting involved at the end of the match hasn't pushed your buttons any? You know since she could be the reason you lost, and are no longer the champion."

[::Linda leans back, sighing as she crosses her arms.::]

Linda: "I don't blame Bobbi at all, really. But for Meggie to try and get involved with our match...I couldn't understand why she couldn't just leave it between us. I know, she has this thing against me, but the fact that the match at the PPV is now a triple threat, well..."

[::Linda shrugs, smirking.::]

Linda: "I think she wishes she hadn't interfered. Because nothing's going to come between Bobbi and I in this fight."

Melody: "So on a lighter note, you think the two of you will win this match on the upcoming show, and Bobbi will be a double champion?"

[::Melody crossed her legs, placing her hands underneath her chin in wonder::]

Linda: "I would love to see that Melody, don't get me wrong, but we have some very tough competitors in this fight. First, the champions, Asian Invasion. However, I saw that Devil was replaced by Kim Osaka for this defense, I'm not sure how that works out, but when I thought I knew the Invasion before, now with Kim debuting in this match, it just makes knowing what to do even harder."

[::Linda holds two fingers up.::]

Linda: "Then of course you have Meggie and her cousin Haylie, who joined the match by defeating the Invasion just the other week. I've teamed with Haylie before, so she's very tough. And the same goes with Meggie, since I wrestled her in Divas Unleashed before."

[::Linda takes another sip of her iced tea before continuing.::]

Linda: "So you have a blood team with one person also in World title contention, the longest reigning champions since RoB's revival, and the World champion and her mate in this fight. I think predictions and bets will go all ways for this one, since it's really hard to call."

[::Melody grinned.::]

Melody: "That is very noble for you to admit that Linda, it shows your true natured spirit and I do agree, since I did get most of the talent myself."

[::She lets out a soft chuckle::]

Melody: "But now I must ask, relating away from Ring of Beauty, Tell us how you got your start into the wrestling business, and how it has changed you as a woman, working in this particularly dominated male field."

[::Linda chuckles.::]

Linda: "WOW, where to begin...well, it started when I was really little, and my brothers were watching wrestling, playing with their Big Boss Man and Hulk Hogan action figures. By the time I was watching, I didn't see too many female wrestlers on the program. You had Elizabeth and all, but I didn't recall seeing too many female matches back in the day. So, by the age of fifteen, I started training for wrestling."

[::Linda takes another drink, then sighs of refreshment::]

Linda: "It wasn't until I was 21 I joined a local company, a really terrible one, called Scranton Authority Wrestling...where I started off as...ugh, I can't say it..."

[::Melody hold up her pointer finger shaking it in the air.::]

Melody: "Now, now Linda there are no secrets on After Dark. Your fans want to know."

[::The Ocean's Beauty sighs, rubbing her arms out of embarrassment.::]

Linda:"...a bondage slave..."

[::With that Melody forms a mild grin across her face, before speaking.::]

Melody: "That is too adorable."

[::She chuckled softly::]

Melody: "You know I've done a few music videos like that, I'm not too proud of them"

Linda: "...seriously, Melody? To me, it didn't help my point, which was to prove that women could be just as good AND as big a ticket-seller as any male wrestling match. But I didn't prove that point until EWT, where alongside women such as Carla O. Woe, Oceanic, Rosa, and Holly Valance we made that point. PPVs featured more than one women's match, and no match since our arrival did we have to degrade ourselves to bra and panty matches or other really miserable acts."

[::Linda takes a deep breath, calming down.::]

Linda: "Sorry...got a little carried away...but...yeah, anyway, it as after that I joined DU, and here I am now, on my way to prove to a new audience what I can do in the ring when I'm focused. And the same goes for Ring Of Beauty, though I think I've already accomplished that."

[::She smiles.::]

Melody: "Well Linda, now that I've gotten alot of juicy details out of you, it's time for the speed round, since I am running out of time. So tell me whose your favortie super hero?"

Linda: "Um...I guess...Invisible Girl? I don't know, I don't read the comics..."

[::She chuckles nervously, scratching the back of her head.::]

Melody: "White or Dark Chocolate?"

Linda: "Dark chocolate. Much healthier for you."

Melody: "Organic or Processed?"

Linda: "Processed."

Melody: "Dream Match?"

Linda: "Hm...I always wanted to face Sara Del Ray."

Melody: "Thong, G-string, Boyshorts, yati yata yata?"

Linda:"...Um...uh...boyshorts?"

Melody: "I prefer commando"

[::Pauses::]

Melody: "And lastly, biggest role model."

Linda: "Well, I'd have to say...hm...I never really thought about it..."

[::She Pauses::]

Linda: "Well...I'll go with my parents."

Melody: "Good Choice, but sadly time is up for this week, as always Linda, thank you for joining me, and I do appreciate the honesty. Next week we will have another great interview for you, but for now, good night."

[::Melody winks to the camera, as the studio fades away::]

Bobbi says with a smile.
