::Across much of the northern boarder of the People’s Republic of China stretches one of the great wonders of the ancient world. Like the Great Pyramids of Egypt, the Coliseum of Rome or the Parthenon of Athens, Greece, this structure has stood the test of time. Built of stone and brick and dirt and wood, this wall, once many smaller walls that were eventually built into one large wall, runs across China’s northern boarder to the sea. It was designed to keep the barbarians of the north, most notably Mongolia, out of China, but ultimately proved less than satisfactory at that job. Despite that, the wall still stands for the most part, and still gains instant recognition. Of all the sites and structures of China, this is undoubtedly the most famous structure in the nation, seen in movies, television and documentaries. This massive structure, running from the sea to most of China’s northern boarder is known as the Great Wall of China.::
::In the 11 mile Guangou Valley, 31 miles from Beijing, the capital city of the People’s Republic of China, where APW held it’s final Sunday Night Asylum before the upcoming One Night In Hell pay-per-view, is a northern mountain pass known as Juyongguan. Juyongguan has two smaller passes, Badaling in the north, and Nan in the south. The Juyongguan, or Juyong Pass, is one of the three greatest mountain passes of the wall. Here the wall is 26 feet high and 15 feet wide.::
::The Chinese native and current reigning and defending APW North American Champion “The Hong Kong Sensation” Amy Zing stands on one of the guard towers. With her guest hosting Sunday Night Asylum in Beijing, it appears that “the Hong Kong Sensation” decided to stay in the country of her birth for awhile before going back to Japan for the One Night in Hell pay-per-view and her Fourway Bra & Panties match, which will also be her first defense of the North American Championship. At the moment, Amy is dressed in a pair of jeans and a pink shirt in honor of October being National Breast Cancer Awareness month in the United States. Around her waist is the APW North American Championship belt she has held since August 27th, and will now defend at One Night in Hell, exactly two months after she won the title; the first title of her career.::
::The sky is blue and the sun has yet to meet its midday height, with a few clouds rolling over the hills. A breeze blows through her hair. She gazes out the rolling green hills that make up much of the valley’s boarders. The wind blows through her hair and rolls through the trees that dot the hills of the valley. Amy has a smile on her face, seemingly reminiscing about the last year of her APW career, which started at One Night in Hell 2012.::
“It has been one crazy year for me, with a lot of ups and downs, highs and lows, moments of defeat and yet, the greatest victory of my career. I honestly cannot wait for what my second year holds. Will I be able to rise to the top of the APW or will I crash and burn and try to rise again? All I know is I am excited.”
“It is so strange to think where I was a year ago compared to where I am now. When I joined Action Packed Wrestling and signed the contracts and all the paperwork and legal work had been done and processed, I made my debut at One Night in Hell. I missed the China show by like two weeks, which was disappointing. But if you look at me now, I got a personal invite to host Sunday Night Asylum when it arrived in Beijing, and it was without a doubt, one of the best nights of my entire life, never mind my career, which it still was one of the best nights ever, but it was just an awesome experience. A year ago, I made my debut in a Japanese deathmatch battle royal at One Night in Hell. Now, here we are a year later and I am in a championship match. Perhaps the biggest difference from where I was last year to now is the fact that I finally won a championship.”
::Her hand drifts down to the North American Championship title belt around her waist. Her eyes follow her hands downward. The breeze stops and Amy brushes a few strainds of her dark hair from her face.::
“To say that Tuesday, August 27th, 2013 was the biggest night of my life would be a gross understatement. Mere words cannot describe that night and what it meant to me. Time and time again, I went after championships. Each time I tried to win a championship or I tried to become the number one contender for a title, I failed. No matter how hard I fought, no matter how hard I pushed myself, I never managed to get that victory. I told myself that I was good enough to do it, but time and time again, I failed to prove it.”
::Amy sighs still looking down at the stone roof of the tower she is standing atop.::
“To say that I never had moments of doubt that I would one day become a champion would be an understatement. I never lost faith in my abilities or my drive or my passion, no never once. But, there was always that little voice in the back of my mind after every loss that kept saying “maybe you are not meant to ever be a champion”.”
::“The Hong Kong Sensation” looks upward a bit, towards the horizon.::
“And while I never believed it, history was against me, both my own and wrestling’s long and illustrious history. There have been a lot of wrestlers who, no matter how good they were, and some were legends and future Hall of Fame caliber wrestlers, never won a single major championship in their entire career.”
“I am sure my critics, detractors and opponents felt the same way about me. I heard so many of them say that, while I may be good and have the support of the fans, I would never be a champion. I never believed them. So many times I heard someone say that I lacked desire, passion and the drive to win. A lot of those people I ended up beating. So many times I heard them denounce me and judge me because the only thing I was ever known for was that one Playboy I did. I really did not have a way to argue that or counter that other than wondering what gave any of them the right to get on a moral high horse about my life choices.”
::Her hands rest on the stars and stripes plate of the APW North American Championship wrapped around her waist. She looks upwards to the partial cloudy blue sky of her birth country and smiles.::
“On that night, Tuesday, October 27th, 2013, I proved to the world that I had passion, that I had desire and that I had drive. On that night, that one glorious night, I proved to the entire world that I was good enough to become a champion. After so many failures, the stars aligned, the Mandate of Heaven was in my favor and I did what so many people said I would never be able to do.”
::With swift and fluid motion earned from a two month title reign only her and her fans ever thought possible, Amy takes the title off of her waist and raises it high into the air above the Great Wall and Juyongguan in the Guangou Valley.::
“August 27th, 2013 in Auburn, Michigan I became a champion for the first time ever in my entire career when I beat Robina Hood to become the APW North American Champion.”
::She cannot hold back the smile on her face as she lowers the title and looks at the plate that bears part of the flag to the country she now calls home, the United States of America.::
“It was the greatest match of my career and it was the greatest, most exhilarating night of my entire life. It was a night I know I will probably never get to have again, but I am going to try.”
::Still smiling, Amy lowers the title and places it on her right shoulder, looking at it.::
“These past many weeks as APW North American Champion have been the greatest time of my life. I really don’t care that the win boosted my profile in Action Packed Wrestling, giving me more opportunities like movies or guest appearances on television or talk shows or other media events. I do like I get a few more calls about making charity appearances though, that’s been a nice perk. And honestly, I really don’t care that, as champion, I get more money. I don’t care about all the rights, the privileges and the perks that come with being a champion. That is not why these last two months have been the greatest of my life.”
::She looks away from the title.::
“These past two months have been the greatest of my life because I have had the chance to spend them as a champion. I did what so many said would be impossible for me to do and I have enjoyed every single second of it. If my reign is to end at One Night in Hell, then I have truly enjoyed every second of it and I can only hope that should I somehow prove worthy of regaining that Mandate of Heaven, if somehow, I am able to regain the North American Championship, or even win something like the Overdrive Championship, or Shione and I somehow become Tag Team Champions or, and I know I am dreaming but I do not care, I somehow, someway, become the Undisputed Champion, then I hope to make that second title reign even better than this first one.”
“I never set out to be a great champion. All I wanted to do if I ever won a title was to hold it. I didn’t care if my reign was a month or a day or even a year, I just wanted to win a title, to be a champion. I told myself I would leave it to history and the fans to judge if my reign was great or not. I would settle for acceptable or adequate. As long as no one said mine was the worst reign ever, I would be happy, and I would try harder the next time, if there was a next time.”
::Once again, Amy glances up. Clouds slowly roll through the blue sky above the Juyongguan.::
“However, I am not ready for my time as APW North American Champion to end. Not at One Night in Hell, not at the one year mark of my time in Action Packed Wrestling and not only two months in. I know that someday someone will go to that ring and beat me to become champion, but I have no intention of it being at One Night in Hell.”
::Again, “The Hong Kong Sensation” looks at the title on her shoulder.::
“I have every intention of walking out of One Night in Hell, and marking my one year anniversary in Action Packed Wrestling, still the APW North American Champion.”
::Amy looks up from the title and back to the hills that line the valley where this section of the Great Wall sits.::
“One Night in Hell is not just my anniversary here in Action Packed Wrestling, is it Kaylyn James Evans? You debuted at this very event in Tokyo, Japan in the same Japanese deathmatch battle royal I made my debut in. But that is the only thing we really have in common.”
“It took you a very short amount of time to establish yourself once again as “the Girl You Love to Hate” and “the Perfect Ten” here in APW. It seemed like as soon as you left Monday Night Meltdown for Sunday Night Asylum, you claimed the first championship of your APW career by becoming Suicide Champion. None of this surprised me though. I know how good you are Kaylyn. Anyone who has seen you or followed you career or been in the ring with knows exactly how good you are either by watching you or competing against you.”
“Fast forward to a year later, and I proved that my victory over you long ago in ACW was not an upset. I showed everyone that I can beat Kaylyn James Evans, one of the best there is. Now I stand here, a championship in my possession with you coming to try and take the title I worked so hard to get and I know for a fact that I can beat you. You, Kaylyn, have yet to prove that you can beat me. Now, you can say that I am getting cocky or being arrogant, but that is not true. I know how good you are. I know you are more than capable of beating me in that ring, because you give me everything you have Kaylyn, but you never have.”
::Another breeze blows through the Guangou Valley and through Amy’s hair. She again reaches up to brush a few loose strands out of her face and behind her ear.::
“You have never beaten me Kaylyn. One day you will, and one day you will be a champion again, but it will not be Sunday. As good as you are I am going to do everything in my power to make sure that One Night in Hell is not the day you finally beat me or the day you become a champion. Only one of us has a chance to make our one year anniversary in APW special. Kaylyn, you had best believe that I am going to do everything I can to retain my championship.”
“That goes for you as well Robina Hood.”
::Amy takes the championship off her shoulder and holds it up, looking at it. She turns toward the camera.::
“It was always meant to be yours. Since the day Sienna Harrison took you under her wing and began to shape you into the “Perfect Megastar”. She groomed you to become APW North American Champion and you did. After so many opportunities, you beat the Guv’Nor and claimed your prize. She probably envisioned a Monday Night Meltdown built around you, or at least until she found someone else to be her handpicked star.”
“I beat you Robina. In one night I took from you everything you worked so hard to get. I took the thing you sold your soul for from you. The fact that I took your title should have pissed you off, and it did. I heard the words you said after I became champion. You said them Robina, but a few weeks ago when you had your shot at payback, they proved as empty as you are. All you are is hollow and empty, with nothing but hate to fuel you. That is sad Robina.”
“I have been in the ring with you. I know how violent, how vicious, how brutal and how intense you can be between those ropes. I know probably better than anyone what you are capable of. However, it seems that since you lost this championship, there is nothing left of you. You are just going through the motions.”
::Amy shakes the title a little. The loose strap flails a bit as she does.::
“You want this back Robina? You want to regain the belt that was always meant by Sienna to be yours? Well it is not going to happen with you being this shell of yourself. It feels like I didn’t just beat you, but I sort of broke you. Robina, all those words you said after losing this title were empty. They were empty a few weeks ago when you had your rematch at me. They will ring empty again at One Night in Hell.”
“Can you regain the North American Championship? Yes, I have no doubt of your ability. I, however, doubt your heart. My heart, Robina, is something you should never doubt. I have no intentions of losing this championship back to you at One Night in Hell. And I will go through Hell itself to keep it.”
::“The Hong Kong Sensation” folds the belt up and cradles it. She takes a deep breath and exhales slowly as she looks up towards the blue sky above her birth country, China. This is not her usual deep breath and exhale that she does when she rambles. This more like doing something she has no desire to do, but knows that she must cross this bridge, no matter how little she cares to come to it. This is her trying to focus and stay calm so she can maintain her composure.::
“In the year since I came to Action Packed Wrestling, I really found that I had a hard time making friends with anyone in the locker room. I hate to admit it, but it did leave me a bit bitter that no one seemed to like me. I like to think that I am a good person, and I try to be friendly, but for some odd reason, I just really wasn’t able to make friends here. I mean, sure, we are in a competitive business and yes, it is a bit dog eat dog as it were, but I fail to see why that means friendship cannot form. It is sort of like that old cartoon with Sam the Sheepdog and Ralph the Wolf. Every day, Sam and Ralph would get up, greet each other as they clock in to work, try to kill each other as Ralph would try to steal sheep and Ralph would guard them, then when the bell rang, they would clock out and be friends again. I fail to see why that was not an idea that carried in Action Packed Wrestling. And okay, yes, I did eventually make friends here, but still, it was nothing like I had with say Dahlia in ACW. I offered to be her friend before my first ACW match where I was to tag team with her, and she awkwardly greets me with a half eaten basket of cookies and a little bear, which I still have, and we have been friends ever since. We wrestled a few times against each other and like Sam and Ralph, before and after the match, we were friends, but during, we were each trying to get a win. Dahlia was one of the first people to call me after I won the North American Championship and I do appearances for her foundation against child abuse. But for some odd reason, making friends in APW proved to be difficult.”
::Amy pauses and closes her eyes. This time, when she takes a deep breath and exhales slowly, it is intended to help her calm down and regain her focus. She opens her eyes, trying to not look too embarrassed.::
“Shione, you are, without a doubt, the best friend I have made since joining APW. Honestly, our first meeting, I wasn’t sure if you were insulting me or not, but I figured you meant it as a compliment. You are my friend and my occasional tag team partner, however, at One Night in Hell, you and I both know that we have to put our friendship aside and compete against each other for the North American Championship. To do any less would just be an insult.”
::Amy shakes here head and sighs again.::
“I want to see you succeed. I want to see you rise to the top of the APW. I would have loved to see you face AC Smith and win the Xtreme Championship because I felt you deserved to win that title after you beat him. And, honestly, I feel you deserve a chance to win the North American Championship and I hate the fact that I have to do everything I can deny you a championship victory in front of your home country. But I have to Shione. I have to because, and it may sound selfish, I want to stay the North American Champion.”
::She looks down at the title in her arms before she turns her gaze back towards China.::
“Shione, as much as I want to see you succeed in the APW, I have to delay it. You and I may be friends, but if I have to strip you naked in front of your countrymen, your friends, family and even the Emperor of Japan himself and kick your head off to retain the APW North American Championship then, and may Buddha forgive me, I am going to do just that. And I would expect nothing less than the same form you my friend. I only hope that after, we can remain friends, regardless of what happens.”
::Amy Zing shifts her hand and raises the title once more over her head and towards the sky above China. She looks up at the belt that she chased for so long and finally managed to capture, the first championship of her entire, albeit short, career.::
“This is it ladies. This right here is what we are about to go into the ring, in front of a worldwide pay-per-view audience and tear each other’s clothes off for. This is the APW North American Championship, and right now it is mine. I am going to do everything in my power to keep it that way at One Night in Hell.”
::Her eyes stay locked on the championship she is holding above her.::
“Shione, Kaylyn, Robina, at One Night in Hell, I am going to walk in as champion and I will do whatever I need to in order to walk out as champion. I do not care which one of you it is I have to strip down and pin, I am going to strip someone to their bra and panties and then I am kicking their head off.”
::She looks down from the championship, passion, desire and focus burning in those eyes of hers as she continues to hold the title belt aloft.::
“At One Night in Hell, Shione, Kaylyn, Robina, I am going out to that ring to show the people of Japan inside the Tokyodome, everyone around the world watching on pay-per-view and the three of you why I am not only simply Amy Zing, but why I am, and hopefully I still will be after the match is over, the APW North American Champion.”
::She lowers the title so that the plate is as the same level as her head.::
“I will see you all on Sunday. And I wish you good luck, because this time you are going to need it.”
::The scene fades out with “the Hong Kong Sensation” Amy Zing looking draping the North American Championship title belt over her shoulder.::
::In the 11 mile Guangou Valley, 31 miles from Beijing, the capital city of the People’s Republic of China, where APW held it’s final Sunday Night Asylum before the upcoming One Night In Hell pay-per-view, is a northern mountain pass known as Juyongguan. Juyongguan has two smaller passes, Badaling in the north, and Nan in the south. The Juyongguan, or Juyong Pass, is one of the three greatest mountain passes of the wall. Here the wall is 26 feet high and 15 feet wide.::
::The Chinese native and current reigning and defending APW North American Champion “The Hong Kong Sensation” Amy Zing stands on one of the guard towers.

This more like doing something she has no desire to do, but knows that she must cross this bridge, no matter how little she cares to come to it. This is her trying to focus and stay calm so she can maintain her composure.::
“In the year since I came to Action Packed Wrestling, I really found that I had a hard time making friends with anyone in the locker room. I hate to admit it, but it did leave me a bit bitter that no one seemed to like me. I like to think that I am a good person, and I try to be friendly, but for some odd reason, I just really wasn’t able to make friends here. I mean, sure, we are in a competitive business and yes, it is a bit dog eat dog as it were, but I fail to see why that means friendship cannot form. It is sort of like that old cartoon with Sam the Sheepdog and Ralph the Wolf. Every day, Sam and Ralph would get up, greet each other as they clock in to work, try to kill each other as Ralph would try to steal sheep and Ralph would guard them, then when the bell rang, they would clock out and be friends again. I fail to see why that was not an idea that carried in Action Packed Wrestling. And okay, yes, I did eventually make friends here, but still, it was nothing like I had with say Dahlia in ACW. I offered to be her friend before my first ACW match where I was to tag team with her, and she awkwardly greets me with a half eaten basket of cookies and a little bear, which I still have, and we have been friends ever since. We wrestled a few times against each other and like Sam and Ralph, before and after the match, we were friends, but during, we were each trying to get a win. Dahlia was one of the first people to call me after I won the North American Championship and I do appearances for her foundation against child abuse. But for some odd reason, making friends in APW proved to be difficult.”
::Amy pauses and closes her eyes. This time, when she takes a deep breath and exhales slowly, it is intended to help her calm down and regain her focus. She opens her eyes, trying to not look too embarrassed.::
“Shione, you are, without a doubt, the best friend I have made since joining APW. Honestly, our first meeting, I wasn’t sure if you were insulting me or not, but I figured you meant it as a compliment. You are my friend and my occasional tag team partner, however, at One Night in Hell, you and I both know that we have to put our friendship aside and compete against each other for the North American Championship. To do any less would just be an insult.”
::Amy shakes here head and sighs again.::
“I want to see you succeed. I want to see you rise to the top of the APW. I would have loved to see you face AC Smith and win the Xtreme Championship because I felt you deserved to win that title after you beat him. And, honestly, I feel you deserve a chance to win the North American Championship and I hate the fact that I have to do everything I can deny you a championship victory in front of your home country. But I have to Shione. I have to because, and it may sound selfish, I want to stay the North American Champion.”
::She looks down at the title in her arms before she turns her gaze back towards China.::
“Shione, as much as I want to see you succeed in the APW, I have to delay it. You and I may be friends, but if I have to strip you naked in front of your countrymen, your friends, family and even the Emperor of Japan himself and kick your head off to retain the APW North American Championship then, and may Buddha forgive me, I am going to do just that. And I would expect nothing less than the same form you my friend. I only hope that after, we can remain friends, regardless of what happens.”
::Amy Zing shifts her hand and raises the title once more over her head and towards the sky above China. She looks up at the belt that she chased for so long and finally managed to capture, the first championship of her entire, albeit short, career.::
“This is it ladies. This right here is what we are about to go into the ring, in front of a worldwide pay-per-view audience and tear each other’s clothes off for. This is the APW North American Championship, and right now it is mine. I am going to do everything in my power to keep it that way at One Night in Hell.”
::Her eyes stay locked on the championship she is holding above her.::
“Shione, Kaylyn, Robina, at One Night in Hell, I am going to walk in as champion and I will do whatever I need to in order to walk out as champion. I do not care which one of you it is I have to strip down and pin, I am going to strip someone to their bra and panties and then I am kicking their head off.”
::She looks down from the championship, passion, desire and focus burning in those eyes of hers as she continues to hold the title belt aloft.::
“At One Night in Hell, Shione, Kaylyn, Robina, I am going out to that ring to show the people of Japan inside the Tokyodome, everyone around the world watching on pay-per-view and the three of you why I am not only simply Amy Zing, but why I am, and hopefully I still will be after the match is over, the APW North American Champion.”
::She lowers the title so that the plate is as the same level as her head.::
“I will see you all on Sunday. And I wish you good luck, because this time you are going to need it.”
::The scene fades out with “the Hong Kong Sensation” Amy Zing looking draping the North American Championship title belt over her shoulder.::
