(We open up the scene backstage after Shockwave, it's near by the women's locker room door. The camera looks around the backstage area as it comes upon Amy Jericho. She is wearing the clothes that she had on before she was forced into a bikini at the beginning of Shockwave. She is with the stroller containing her baby, Ashley Irvine. She is kneeled over, doing Mom things to make her baby giggle. It was not so much for her babies benefit, as it was for her own. It was a very long, embarassing night, after what she was forced to do at the hands of John Cena, and she kind of wanted to forget it. However, she was about to get a visit from an unexpected visitor. Torrie having changed into jeans and a black tank top, her long blonde hair tied back in a high pony tail spots Amy Jericho down the hall leaning over her daughter's stroller making faces and cooing at the toddler. She walks down the hall and taps Amy on the shoulder. Amy turns around at the tapping on her shoulder, and see's Torrie. She gives a friendly smile, even though Torrie and her had never really talked.)

.::Amy Jericho::.-Oh..hey Torrie, how are you?

Torrie: **she smiles at Amy** Hi… fine thank you. And who is this little angel. Aren't you a little cutie.

(Ashley giggles some more, and seems really happy that she is getting all this attention. The two women seem to continue that, however, although Amy was trying to escape everything that had happened to her this Shockwave. Torrie was about to snap her back to that reality once again.)

Torrie: **torrie turns to amy** I don't know how you do it?

(Amy turns to Torrie with a small, confused smile. She was not completely sure what Torrie was refering to, so she decided to ask.)

.::Amy Jericho::.-Do what?

Torrie: Stand here as if nothing happened tonight, or for these past few months. How you can allow a man like John Cena dress you up in near nothing and suddenly become a powerless little peon in the scheme of things. How you can allow yourself to be disrespected and made a fool of. I don't mean to be rude, but it doesn't make sense. You seem like a strong independent woman, who is liberated enough to want to be the kind of woman to stand up for injustice, especially since you have a daughter

(Amy shakes her head, and says...)

.::Amy Jericho::.-Yeah, I know...trust me...I know. I have no choice to do these things, you see...all these things that I'm forced to do...are because I'm contracted to do so. Really, the whole thing was turned into a way that was not expected for me. I made a deal that said I would have to do another job for a month. I should have known that Cena would have come up with something perverted though. However, it was not what it was designed for...and trust me, if I could get out of it, I would. But it's something that I have no choice in, I can either choose my pride....or the chance that Cena can try to sue me for breaking contract.

Torrie: No judge in their right mind would side with a man that is purposefully objectifying a woman for pure entertainment, no matter how good of pen of lawyers Cena hires. I swear that man puts us back centuries with his caveman antics.

.::Amy Jericho::.-Yes, I know, however...it was my contract. I mean...I didn't expect it to be used like that. However, it's Cena...what do you expect. Cena has enough evidence that it's perfectly normal in our business to do so. Regardless of how messed up it is, and as unreasonable as some of these things seem. Cena....finds a way to do it. I can stand against him, he can do whatever he wants to me, but I won't risk the chance he'll take away my ability to provide for my daughter. That's something I can not do.

Torrie: Normal in our business to determine someone's undergarments? Now I've heard everything! It's like who died and made John Cena God? Should I go right now and show him my lace panties? I find it absurd that that man gets away with what he does. I understand that you need to provide for you daughter, but haven't you saved any of the money you've made within the past years of working in this business I think I'd rather struggle working a minimum wage job just scraping by than let myself be objectified and demeaned by someone.

(Amy shakes her head, and says.)

.::Amy Jericho::.-Well, it's not who's died. It's more whose butt did Cena kiss to get all the power he has. You see...John Cena was given the right to do whatever he wants to in this company, because he became friends with Edge. Edge and Prez Mike went on an extended vacation, and things haven't been the same. While you may or may not see it, other than just me, it's there. The thing is...John Cena is doing this to me because of one thing. I'm the one that will stand against him. I have cost him more than one time, because really...he believes that all women are suppose to be what I was dressed up as. Of course, I've saved a lot of money. But it's not about money, he's expecting me to tuck tail and run. That's what he wants, that's what he expects us to all be....yes...he's a caveman, and yes...he's trying to set us back. But his point is to get me out of the way, if I run now...all that happens is that he wins, and he's free to treat all women like that. John Cena is not the real owner, and until I knock him down to where he belongs...then I can not stop.

Torrie: So John Cena believes that woman should walk around in string bikinis? Then I'm sure he'd love to see Shelton Benjamin's mother in one, maybe I should make a call. **Torrie smirked** That man has to have some of the worst taste in woman's clothing that I have seen. I'm sorry to say but I've seen drag queens pick out better outfits than what he makes you wear. All I have to say is I would really like to meet his mother and see what she thinks about how her son views and treats women.

.::Amy Jericho::.-Trust me...I know, it's horrible that he forced me to dress differently than I like, but you're right...it's even worst since he has control over what I wear on Shockwave's. As for what he was taught as a child...I asked him about that recently. According to him, he said that he was not taught the meaning of "respect women". But I don't know, this whole thing has gotten out of control from where it started. Where the first of his twisted views was expressed. John Cena somewhere in his warp mind thought it was ok to sleep around on his wife at his reception....so it's not like I went up to him, and asked for these things to happen to me. I was trying to help a friend out originally.

Torrie: What do you mean you were just trying to help a friend? Why would he go to such lengths to torture you, what did you do?

.::Amy Jericho::.-Well...it's a long story, but I'll tell you. It started at my friend Jackie's wedding to Cena in the Summer of 2005. Jackie was someone that I had only recently became friends with. We had just gotten over a feud in the EMF together. Jackie was out to beat any great women's champion in the past, and I was one of them. However, I was retired, and I was happy in my job. If you want to see an example of the character of John Cena before this whole thing, it would be this. Cena himself goated me out of retirement by using Jackie's engagement ring. He planted it in Jericho's bag, and I just so happened to find it before Jericho. Long story short, he made me believe that Jericho was going to propose to get me angry enough to give Jackie the match she wanted. Let's just say it worked, but after it, it would seem that things got better between me and Jackie, and we became friends. Since Cena got his engagement ring back, he proposed to Jackie as he was going to. If you ask him now, he'll give you a different version. That he only proposed, because Jackie was upset, and he didn't want to lose her. Which is a lie, but it shows you his character. Anyways, it all leads up to Jackie and Cena's wedding...to the event that started this whole thing. No more than an hour or two after saying "I do". John Cena strayed away from the reception, and ended up...well...*notes Ashley there*...making love to Jackie's friend and bridesmaid, Natasha Jones.

Torrie: Alright, but I still don't see why he is so hell bent on making your life miserable

.::Amy Jericho::.-Well...I'm getting to that. The story that John Cena will tell you now is that he "found his true love". Which is 100% bull, to this day John Cena does not want to admit that he was wrong in doing what he did. He could have come clean to Jackie, and got the wedding annulled. But like the slime Cena is, he did what he could to cover it up for months, and months. Which from what I heard...was difficult. Because a former EMF employee Joy, saw the "deed", and decided to black mail Cena. I don't know what she got out of it, but seemly while he was "living a normal married life". Sneaking around with the house cleaner, he also had sex with Joy to make her happy. However, his secret was going to get harder to keep...because Natasha found out she was pregnant. But somehow...Cena managed it, he kept it up about 6 month's after the wedding...until my own wedding to Jericho. I was bringing my sick mother to the bathroom, she had one too many. I started to hear voices down a hall way, so I went to see who it was. I found out it was Cena on a cell phone, talking to seemly Chris Masters about a girl. However, I realized then that it could not be Jackie, because the girl he spoked about was pregnant. Well that might not seem bad, it seemed to me that he too concern with her not to have some stake in the pregnancy with her. So while he didn't say anything very damning, but he said enough to make me suspicious. So, after I got back from my honeymoon, I decided to look into it...and...I had found out Cena's secret. But, the reason he's started to focus on me.....was thanks to my dress and high heels. He caught me over hearing his cell phone conversation; so when I got too close to the truth, he decided it was time to shut me up....

Torrie: So he focused on you because you knew his secret? He tormented you because you could possibly blackmail him?

.::Amy Jericho::.-Well, he had learned his lesson from Joy. Although, seemly, knowing Cena..he probably wishes I blackmailed him like Joy. But he didn't know who Joy was until she had him by the balls. He knew who I was before I knew everything. Jackie and I had become best friends by this time, she was being led to believe that she had a perfect marriage. To me, the right thing was to let her know that her husband was not as faithful as she really believed him to be. But Cena could not face the music, he needed to stop me. So he, along with his friend at the time...Chris Masters decided to head me off at my office...and threaten me with a sledgehammer. Which I have issues with...thanks to some flash backs that were given to me, thanks to your friend in the Attitude office, I'm sure you know who I'm talking about....

Torrie: If you are refferring to Mr. Orton, he is no friend of mine. More like a giagantic pain in my rear end.

(Amy nods, and says.)

.::Amy Jericho::.-I know, he's a born pain in the rear. Anyways, I got out of it without getting beaten half to death as they were threatening. Whether they were for real or not, I'm not sure. But I thank god I didn't find out, due to a reason I would learn later. I would not be bullied, I tried to tell Jackie a few more times...seemly one too many. Because John Cena decided he had enough, and decided to go to the co-owner's office to get the help of Edge to shut me up. It was about to go to bad to worst for me, because not only did I now have someone with more power after me. Soon there after, I learned that I was pregnant with Ashley....I knew I was in trouble. I couldn't just tell Cena that I would be quiet, he would use it against me. It was then that John Cena was given Edge's power, due to him going on a vacation from the EMF. So it was going to be even worse. If he learned I was pregnant, he would use it against me. I backed off him for the safety of my child. But I knew that if Cena didn't get someone to oppose him, he would go even more power crazy than he is now. I knew it was only a matter of time before I started to show, and there would be no denying that I was pregnant. So I started to train an assistant to stand in my job as Vice President to stand against him. This was my other friend, Maria. I was able to train her well enough to take my job. But, he used my pregnancy against me more than I dreamed. When he found out about my pregnancy, he decided that I needed a vacation...to Iraq. Thank god my other best friend Sierra tricked Cena into allowing her to go with me, because without her, I probably would have been lost. She had a brother stationed over there, and made it a lot better than it could have been.

Torrie: And Jackie just stood by and let him do all of this?

.::Amy Jericho::.-Jackie was clue-less to the whole thing, and did not know that this was happening to me, until he had already set my travel plans. It was only after that I was on my way to Iraq that he bothered to tell her in "his way". That way being throwing her into a steel cage. Cena will make you believe that I was on his butt enough to leave him no other choice not to tell her any other way. But he had 6 month's after the wedding to tell her, himself. As well as between the time that I learned I was pregnant, and he threw Jackie into a steel cage. I did not even bug him, I was too worried about training Maria. I was not going to mess with him, so there was no justification for his actions. But to this day, he won't admit that he was wrong, he says I forced him to do it that way....

Torrie: I'm sorry but I find it hard to believe that a woman can be totally clueless that her husband is cheating with not one but two women, as well as reeking havoc threatening her susposed best friend. After all this was all going on right under her nose, was it not happening in her house, at her work place?

.::Amy Jericho::.-It was...in fact..seems John Cena could not even stay true to the person he was cheating with. While Natasha carried his baby, he also ended up having sex with his best friend's girlfriend at the time. I know it's hard to believe, but he managed it somehow. Jackie wanted to believe too much that she had the perfect marriage, that she did not see the warning signs herself that something was going on...until Cena himself attacked her.

Torrie: It sounds like you're making excuses for your friend. I think she could have prevented some of this. But then again John could have prevented most of this if he was just open and truthful.

.::Amy Jericho::.-I don't know if it's so much excuses, maybe she could have, I just saw the way she was, while married to Cena. No matter what, that's how she viewed her marriage. Maybe she could have, but I'm really just trying to explain what made her miss this..but don't get me wrong...I might have not gotten mixed up in this if she was able to. But, it's a lot of "what if's"...I can't go back and change the past, and neither can she. The only choice was to go forward from there.

Torrie: This needs to end. The objectification of women and the blatent disrespect, not only because it is broadcast across the world for millions of little girls to watch and see and think that they are less than boys just because they are girls, but also because of the millions of little boys that idolize John Cena and think that his actions are right.

.::Amy Jericho::.-Yes...I know, it's gone on too long. Thing is, it won't stop until John Cena himself backs down. Reason it's gotten like this is because Cena tried to break Jackie's spirit to avoid losing half of his money. However...I didn't let that happen to her, and she got everything, and more that she was entitled to when she divorced him. But John Cena's true feelings towards women came out more so after that. He couldn't deal with the fact that he didn't get his way. It made it worse that I was a woman, he thinks that I was different somehow...he thinks that "I don't believe I'm a woman" in so many words. Therefore, everything you see now is an attempt to "put me in the place" he believe's all women should be in. He wants me to back off, and admit that was my place the whole time. Maybe that's why I can't back down, I'm going to prove to him that I'm not less of a person, just because I'm a woman. Yes....he's degraded me in every way possible, but I beat him last time, because we didn't back down. Until I can get him out of power, it can't be over...and few people really understand that. They are too worried about gold to see the true picture, but yeah...I jumped ahead in my story. But that's basically how we got here.

Torrie: Someone needs to show John Cena that a woman's place is right beside a man. Men and women are equals. He needs to realize that in today's society women don't take a backseat to men.

.::Amy Jericho::.-Yeah, I have told him this many times. But you seen the way he acted to me. He's shoved me in a dress, claimed I was confused on my own gender, and many other things. All you saw tonight was just another effect of that. So you see, if I just left, John Cena could claim that he was right the whole time, and he would probably just use his power to do this to more than just me, if he feels it's necessary. I think it's as wrong as you do...trust me.

Torrie: Its odd that he chooses to torment you for your views, when they coinside with my own. It doesn't make sense logically that my feministic ideologies wouldn't upset him, yet yours does.

.::Amy Jericho::.-Well...you didn't cost him millions and millions of dollars. Jackie ended up losing half of the money she was given, but still...even with that, he won't forget the fact that a woman got one over him. That's probably why he hasn't bugged you...as of yet.

Torrie: I'm going to go see if that man is still in his office

.::Amy Jericho::.-Alright, although...I probably have nothing to worry about. I do want you to be careful. While I understand how you feel as far as what it does to us as women, I just would feel bad if I caught someone else in this whole mess.

Torrie: You're not getting me into anything. Trust me, I've told Cena my thoughts before. I'm not afraid of him. But you take care. And you too cutie pie. **Torrie says smiling at Ashley**

.::Amy Jericho::.-Alright then, you too, I'll see you around Torrie.

Torrie: Hopefully if I get my message across to Mr. Cena, the next time I see you, you won't be forced into wearing some beauty pagent reject dress or a string bikini. See you around.. **Torrie walks off down the hall towards Cena's office, her black Jimmy Choo high heels clacking against the the tile.

(Amy watches her leave, and then decides it's time for her to leave and get her baby home. Amy pushes the stroller off the screen as we fade away.)
