The scene fades in with Brooke Hogan dressed in wrestling attire: black wrestling tights, light pink sports bra, matching pink wristbands, and pink boots. After some basic wrestling moves, Hulk Hogan enters the gym area of the EBWF arena. Ivory and Brooke walk over to Hulk as Hulk speaks to Ivory.
Hulk Hogan: How is my princess doing?
She greets her dad with a hug.
Brooke Hogan: Hey daddy, I was actually just wrapping everything up with Ivory. She flew down here to give me some last minute pointers.
Hulk glances at his daughter before looking over at Ivory.
Hulk Hogan: So do you think my little girl has what it takes to follow in her old man’s shoes?
Ivory: You know Hulk, I think she might. Brooke is a very fast learner and she impressed with her execution of several moves I asked her to demonstrate for me.
Hulk Hogan: Right on brother!
Ivory: Brooke, I will be in the audience watching you in your debut wrestling match against Brooke Tessmacher. I know you will do well.
Ivory wraps her arms around Brooke as she hugs her, rubbing the middle of her back. She then walks off as Brooke looks toward her dad.
Brooke Hogan: Do you think it will be easy to walk in your shadows?
Hulk lets out a hearty laugh.
Hulk Hogan: Brooke, let me tell you something you can do whatever you set your eyes on. Living in the Hogan legacy is going to be extremely difficult, but if anybody can do it it’s you! Don’t quit because your old man never quit!
Brooke Hogan: Daddy, you always taught us never to quit anyway. I didn’t quit with my music career and now I am a pop icon. I know I’m going to make you proud out there at Death before Dishonor and I hope to make a big enough impact that I am a candidate for one of the diva’s championships.
Hulk Hogan: Whoa, whoa, Brooke! Don’t get too far ahead of yourself! You still have to concentrate on your debut match with Brooke Tessmacher. Believe me; I personally know what she’s capable of doing. She pinned TNA knockout’s champion Gail Kim not once, but three times!
Brooke Hogan: Oh of course not daddy! I respect everything Brooke stands for. She started out as a dancer for Extreme Expose and has come a long way. She is not somebody who should be taken lightly and I don’t intend to make that mistake this Sunday.
Hulk Hogan: Good girl Brooke.
He pats his daughter on the shoulder when the scene focuses to the side as Lilian Garcia is spotted walking toward them. Brooke and her dad look at Lilian as they turn toward her.
Brooke Hogan: Hi Lilian!
She says with a smile on her face.
Lilian Garcia: Hello Brooke and Hulk, I was hoping to get your thoughts on this week’s match? Are you ready for it?
Brooke looks up at her dad and smiles before adjusting her pink wristbands.
Brooke Hogan: I am so ready to finally get in the four-sided wrestling ring and give it my all Lilian. I have waited such a long time to live out my father’s legacy. I don’t know a better time than at EBWF May’s pay-per view Death before Dishonor. This is a perfect time to show-off my wrestling skills.
Lilian Garcia: With your father’s history in this business, do you know any of the other EBWF divas?
Brooke Hogan: Oh certainly Lilian! As a matter of fact, I was given the honor of meeting Brooke Tessmacher during her time in TNA. She is definitely an inspiration to me and my career. She is the walking example that divas can be models and talented. I feel bad that my debut has to be against her, but I’m not going to risk my career because I respect my opponent.
Lilian Garcia: This is very important and how your father looked at many of his opponents.
Brooke Hogan: I do not want people to lose sight of my father’s legacy, but see it as a continuation of it. I love Brooke to death, but she has to understand there’s more pending on me in this match than her. I’m not sure if she is making her EBWF debut, but this is more than just my EBWF debut. It is my wrestling debut and everybody’s eyes will be on me. If I don’t do well, people will be talking and tearing me down. If I do well, then people will take me and my career seriously.
Lilian Garcia: Are you saying if you do not win, you’re done?
Brooke Hogan: No absolutely not Lilian! My father has raised me not to be a quitter. I am not going to quit. If somehow I do not win, I am not going to leave this business because my father always taught me about the fundamental side of this business. You cannot win them all and my father surely has not won them all. My father is one of the greatest names in this business and he’s not unbeatable. Why would you think losing a match, especially to a top contender for any women’s title would force me to quit?
Lilian Garcia: Oh no, I wasn’t trying to say that at all Brooke. I apologize you took it that way. Do you have anything else you would like to add?
Brooke Hogan: Yes, thank you. Brooke, this is a battle of the two Brooke’s, but we are as different as night is from day. You’re a sexy brunette and I’m a pretty blonde. You’re 5’5 and I’m 5’10. Some would say based on our size differences, I should be able to defeat you. We all know size is not everything in this business. I do want you to know how determined I am to win this match. I really want to make a name for myself and continue my father’s legacy. I want people to know that our legacy doesn’t end with the great Hulk Hogan. I am not just a pretty face and I have a feeling you will not look at me like that. This match is to prove everybody who does think of me like that wrong. This match is to show the Board of Directors they did not make a mistake by taking this chance on me. So Brooke, I hope this does not ruin a chance of forming a friendship or even alliance in our future. I hope we can look back at this experience and feel honored that we were able to compete against each other at Death be Dishonor. Both of us will not bring any kind of dishonor to our careers with this match. We will have a good old fashion wrestling match that everybody can be proud of. I want to thank you in advance for this match. Good luck Brooke.
Lilian Garcia: Nicely said Brooke and thank you for this opportunity to get this interview. I wish you the best of luck at the pay-per view.
Right when she starts to walk away, Brooke and Hulk look at each other when they hear two female voices coming closer to them. They look partially down the hallway and it’s Vickie Guerrero with her daughter Shaul Guerrero also known as Raquel Diaz.
Raquel Diaz: Mom, I want you to meet my ally in EBWF. She’s a Hogan.
Vickie does not look too happy with her daughter as she snarls at her daughter.
Vickie Guerrero: No daughter of mine will team with a Hogan! You are a Guerrero!
The Hogan’s over hear this as the Guerrero’s make their way over to Brooke and her dad. Brooke and Raquel go to give each other a hug, but Vickie steps in between the two.
Vickie Guerrero: I am sorry for the confusion honey, but my daughter will not be teaming with you!
Raquel Diaz: Mother!
She cries and Hulk shakes his head.
Vickie Guerrero: Sweetie, if it was not for the reputation that your father has acquired in this world I might have considered this possible friendship, but my daughter deserves better than to team with a woman whose father is an adultery committing phony!
Brooke holds her hand to her chest and looks shocked as Hulk steps up to Vickie.
Hulk Hogan: You listen here Vickie Guerrero, my personal life has nothing to do with my daughter’s wrestling career!
Vickie Guerrero: Excuse me!
She yells.
Vickie Guerrero: My daughter is not teaming with your daughter and that’s THAT!
She jabs her finger into Hogan’s chest as Hulk looks away quickly and snaps his face back to Vickie. Brooke gets in Vickie’s face as Raquel tries to get in between her friend and mother.
Brooke Hogan: Do not touch my father, Ms. Guerrero!
Raquel Diaz: Mom, please stop it!
Vickie pushes Raquel aside and she starts to jab her finger in Brooke’s chest now.
Vickie Guerrero: I can handle this Raquel. Brooke, you and your father are not trust worthily enough to team with my talented daughter. And Raquel, I discourage this alliance!
She starts to strut off as Hulk just stares at the back of Vickie as she walks off. Hulk leaves the scene to just Brooke and Raquel.
Raquel Diaz: I have no idea what we are going to do Brooke.
Brooke Hogan: I can’t believe your mom doesn’t like the idea about us teaming up.
Just then, they are joined by the very tall and beautiful Lacey Von Erich. The scene fades to static.

Re: An unexpected legacy continues...
Oh. My. Vickie.
I love Vickie. I love the way you play Vickie!
Your Brooke's not half bad either.
But I super love Vickie. :)
So glad you're here!

Re: An unexpected legacy continues...
Thank you! I love playing Vickie. I might want to play her as a wrestler too, if that's acceptable. It would be super fun!
My Brooke will hopefully improve as we go, but it's hard facing a FACE as a FACE. I don't want to come off heel or harsh.
I appreciate the feedback. :)
