Now, I know what you are all thinking.
“Shanie! You don’t look anything like that!”
Well guess what. I used to. This figure is based on a character I roleplayed in an E-Fed named ACW from 1999-2001. For those of you who don’t know what an E-Fed is, think D&D for Wrestling. My characters name was DarkSpecter, The Dark Mistress, and she was a BADASS. (Note, I was aiming for DarkSpectre, but didn’t know how to spell the word “Spectre” so thus the E and R got switched)
DarkSpecter was originally one of two women in the ACW. She joined the fed in 1999 and quickly teemed up with Flamerunner (I can’t remember his exact name) to form the tag team The FireStarters. They soon captured tag team gold, and when the doomsday stable REALITY was formed, they were two of the founding members.
REALITY wreaked havoc on the ACW, with their only real opposition being the longstanding stable DAMN. When the only other woman in the fed, Acebabe, joined DAMN, a rivalry for the ages was born. Ace and DS fought all over the nation, from Know Your Role Blvd to Jabroni Drive, with their feud culminating in a hair vs hair match that DS lost. Her head was shaved and she was driven from the federation in shame.
The ACW universe thought that was the last they’d seen of The Dark Mistress. But they were wrong.
A year later, the fates would so have it that a talent, borrowed from the WWF(E) would grace the ACW with his presence.
A young Shane O Mac offered his managerial services to several members of the ACW roster simultaneously. Nobody thought much of it, and the fans just figured it was more of the same from him, with his fingers in everybody’s pies at once. Then, one fateful night, as the still formidable DAMN stable stood tall in the ring, that all of Shane’s “clients” rushed the ring at once. The five men pummeled DAMN, and stood towering over the carnage. Shane fist bumped them all, and grabbed a mic.
He told them all that on that night, in that very ring, a new REALITY had fallen upon the ACW. A new REALITY that would destroy everything that DAMN and it’s allies held dear. And frankly, it was a new REALITY that nobody in the ACW was ready for.
And who better to usher in this new REALITY?
“Who is this irresistible creature who has an insatiable love of the dead...”
The sounds of Rob Zombie’s “Living Dead Girl” blasted through the ACW arena, and DarkSpecter appeared at the top of the stage, dressed in black, with her hair and dignity returned once more. She stalked her way down the ramp, and Shane lowered the ropes for her to enter. She took the mic, and as a roar of boos came from the crowd, she addressed them for the first time in 18 months.
“DAMN wants to come out here and spout their nonsense about how “DAMN we’re good, DAMN we’re fine” and whatever they go on about? Well how about this. “DAMN, your finished.” Because tonight, a new REALITY is born, and you boys are in way over your head. And just as we destroyed your asses in the past, we will do so again. Under my leadership, we will be stronger and more ruthless then ever. DAMN? DAMN, fellas, you don’t stand a chance. Get ready, boys and girls. ACW has just been given a REALITY check!”
And the rest, was history.
