The video begins and we see the inside of a hotel room. The room itself looks rather bare, we can see a suitcase on a chair in the background but it’s still zipped up and we can’t see anything that’s in it. Sitting cross legged on the bed in the middle of the shot however we see Zoe Sperling, known professionally by her stage name of Syren. She’s dressed in an LA Kings jersey and seemed to be in a good mood from the smile on her face. “Hey everyone,” she says with a little wave to the camera. “So, I apologise to you guys for not saying anything sooner than this. I know what you may think that means about my commitment or anything else but I assure you that you couldn’t be more wrong. This past week has been the first time in months that I’ve not had any matches scheduled in over a week and honestly it’s been a break I desperately needed. I had a hurt back after some pretty brutal matches lately, and my knee was kind of banged up, and just generally I felt way beaten up and stuff, you know? But then that’s what happens in this business when you’re on the road all the time, when you’re competing all the time to prove yourself and establish yourself and that’s what I’ve been doing. I’ve been going full on for weeks now and I finally got to spend some time away, to go out with my friends, to actually start looking for a new apartment, and I guess I got way wrapped up in all of that. Plus, you know, it’s the playoffs and anyone who knows me well knows that I’ve been a fan of hockey for as long as I can remember. When I was younger my older brother used to take me to the Staples Center and we’d scream and cheer and just go through so many emotions with the Kings, and oh my god has the last week been a rollercoaster ride when it comes to emotions, am I right?”

“Three down in the series, all hope is lost; the experts are basically just telling everyone it’s a matter of time. They expected the Sharks to finish the job at the Staples Center, and when that didn’t happen they thought once they had home ice back again they’d finish the job for sure. Even when the Kings had come back from three down to make it three-two it was still just given as a matter of time until the Sharks wrapped it up, because that’s what happens in sports. You lose the first three games of a series and only three times before in history has anyone come back from that to win. Well, four times now! And after one of the most crazy, rollercoaster rides that I’ve ever been through as a Kings fan – and seriously, they’ve put me through a LOT over the years – last night I was practically screaming at the top of my lungs when the comeback was completed and the Kings moved on. I mean I do feel bad for so many Sharks fans because it must suck so hard for them, but that’s life. Life is crazy. Life is unexpected. Life is wild sometimes and the things you think are the absolute least likely to happen, that can only happen in Hollywood movie plots, actually DO happen, and c’mon if that story was written in a movie nobody would even believe it, right? They’d stay it was just Hollywood being Hollywood,” she says with a laugh before shrugging her shoulders. “For anyone right now sitting there wondering why I’m talking hockey at the beginning of a wrestling video, there’s a reason for it. You see that story shows you how the unexpected can actually happen, how nothing is certain in sport and that leads me straight in to the beginning of my FFW career, my Velocity in-ring debut this week against Fujiko Mine, and the fact that nothing is certain in wrestling either!”

“Just like any sport and any wrestling promotion this company is full of people you’d consider ‘favourites’. It’s full of established stars, established brands, people who’ve been here and done it and know everything about the company and the stars and the management. This company is full of people who think they’re in control, who think they know what’s going to happen next, and sometimes they’re right. When Adam talks on Twitter about being so sure he knew how the fans were going to vote in the Future Shock voting because he’d been there and he’d seen it so many times before it turned out he was right, apparently. The person he thought wasn’t going to get voted for didn’t get voted for, apparently. He was right about that just like so many in this company have been right about newcomers here before. I know how it is, I’ve been a part of another promotion for almost five years and I’m just as guilty of this as anyone. You see a new girl arrive and you look at them and you judge them immediately, right? You look at them and you say that that girl has this about her or that about her and that she won’t last a month. You look at her and you’re so sure you’re right about every judgement you make. And I know that every single one of you looked at me when you first saw my name on the roster. You saw the blonde girl with breast implants and you said ‘oh, it’s just another diva coming in; she’ll be gone in five minutes’. I get that. I mean, I get why you’d think that when you’d look at me because I am blonde, I can’t deny that and I do have breast implants. That puts me in that category with all the other girls who only start wrestling to try and get exposure to become an actress or pose for Playboy, right?” she asks before shaking her head. “Wrong! I get why you judge me like that, but you’re so very wrong!”

“Yah, I’ve got breast implants, but not because I want to pose topless for a living! I got them when I was younger, when I didn’t ‘develop’ at the same time as all the other girls and I felt inferior. I felt ugly. I felt like people didn’t look at me, they looked through me to the pretty girl behind me and I hated that. I hated feeling that insignificant. So I begged my father to let me change my appearance, and it took a lot of convincing but he finally agreed. Now I’m twenty four years old and I’m incredibly confident about the way I look, but I wouldn’t have been if I didn’t make this choice. Did you know that about me? No, you just assumed. That’s fine though, I don’t expect any different because like I said, I do the same thing. One thing you need to know about me though is WHATEVER it is you think about me, whatever judgements you make about THIS book based only on its cover, you’re wrong about every last one of them. My best friend may be Maddie McTaggert but I am nothing like her. The Meanest Girls are gone, they’re ancient history, and I’m doing my damnedest to make sure that the reputation that the Blondetourage gets in FFW isn’t that we’re two petty little girls who jump people from behind but that we’re two FIGHTERS, that we’re two COMPETITORS, and that I for one am here for one reason and one reason only, to prove to the world that I am without doubt the BEST FEMALE WRESTLER IN THE WORLD, and to prove that I need to compete against the best talent in the world,” she states proudly. “FFW has the best female talent in the world. It has the most competitive matches in the world. It has the most prestigious championships in Women’s wrestling, championships that I hope one day to hold high above my head. That’s why I’m here. That’s my mission. And I’m not going to fail at it.”

“My Breaking Point in-ring debut a few weeks ago couldn’t have gone better. I was so excited to start off, so excited to compete against someone as talented as Mercedes Vargas, and I’m unbelievably proud of the fact that I beat her and I pinned her shoulders to the mat in the middle of the ring. It was the perfect start, the dream start, but it was only the start. It was only the beginning, and if I ever want to establish myself as a contender in this company I know what has to happen next. I have to follow it up. I have to prove myself all over again. So, my Velocity debut, one on one with Fujiko Mine, that’s exactly what I intend to do. If my match against Mercedes was huge, this is bigger. Nothing was expected of me then and I came out and I showed the world what I could do. Something is expected now and more importantly now I’m fighting for something as well,” she says happily. “You see there’s an event coming up, this little thing you might have heard of called Relentless on May 31st in Brooklyn, New York, and quite frankly I want in on it. I want to make my FFW PPV debut with a bang, and what better opportunity to do that than fight my way in to the Chase for the Crown? They say that this tournament has been a launching pad for the FFW elite of the past, and believe me I want to prove myself a part of the FFW elite! I know it won’t be easy, but then the best things in life are never easy! I want in on that match; I want my chance to compete at Relentless in front of a pumped up Barclays Center full of screaming fans. To get there though it’s do or die. I beat Fujiko Mine, I’m in. I lose, I’m out. The pressure is most definitely on right now, but here’s another thing you should probably know about me – I thrive under pressure! You turn those spotlights up bright and I don’t falter, I just work harder!”

“The bad thing about being the new girl though is that nobody knows who I am. Nobody knows what I’m about. Every single opponent I come across all thinks the same thing about me. Well, Fujiko didn’t even think that. She had so little idea who I am and what I’m about that she thinks I was a part of Future Shock. No offence to those girls, they’re doing what they’re doing and I respect them for it, but I don’t need Future Shock to make an impact in this business. I don’t need Go-Kart racing to make an impact; I make my impacts in the middle of that ring by putting on the best performances, competing at the highest levels and beating the most talented stars in this industry. That is who I am, that is what I’m about, and that is what I intend to introduce Fujiko to tonight. By the time you’re watching this it’ll be almost show time I think, there will be thousands of fans packed in to the FedExForum and ready to watch the best women in the world compete in front of them, and I know that given my status as the new girl I’m going to be up first. I’m going to be starting things out. I need to prove myself to move up, but I’m fine with that. I’m going to prove myself against Fujiko; I’m going to introduce myself to her the best way I know how, by fighting her in the middle of the ring and showing the world everything that Syren is about,” she says happily. “Now Fujiko thinks she knows how I’m going to go about this match. She thinks she understands the tactics I’m going to need to beat her. She’s looking at it all wrong. See, this match this week may have the pressure on ME to win and earn my spot at Relentless but that doesn’t mean I’m going in to this match on the defensive. I’m going in to that ring and I’m going to show the world everything that I can do. I’m going to take the fight to Fujiko.”

“Seriously sweetie, you really do have no idea how excited I am about this opportunity. And I love so much about you. I love the nickname, the ‘Boob Goddess’. I first heard it and honestly I didn’t know what to think, but the more I’ve watched you, the more I’ve listened to you, the more I’ve read your tweets the more it’s grown on me. And I’ve seen your matches. I’ve seen the fact that you like to have a good time, that you have a light-hearted approach to this business, that just like me you don’t go in for the whole ‘technical name’ stuff. I called my favourite move the Total Makeover because it involved dropping girls on their faces. It was funny to me. I’ve seen Fujiko fight and she’s got ‘Sex in the Hot Tub’, she’s got ‘Getting Lucky’, and I love that. I love that attitude. I love that playful nature. Part of what makes this business great is the ability to go out there and enjoy your matches, enjoy your work, enjoy putting on the best performances and enjoy stealing the show every week. But when I get in to that ring this week sweetie the fun ends. When I get in to that ring the smiling stops! This week I NEED to beat you to advance my career, advance my standing and move on to what I want. If I ever want to be able to fight my way in contendership to the Television Championship, test myself in contendership to the No Surrender Championship, one day stand alongside Maddie and raise the Unity titles above our heads, or one day fulfil my dream and be able to say that I am the best in FFW by raising the FFW Championship itself over my head then I can’t afford to slip up. I can’t afford to lose matches like this. This week I intend to prove myself in that ring, I intend to show the world what I’m all about, and I intend to book my place at Relentless. And Fujiko, sweetie, we’re putting on a show tonight but if my hand is raised don’t be mad sweetie, JUST BE JEALOUS!”

She blows a kiss toward the camera playfully before waving goodbye as the video fades slowly out and then the replay button flashes up on the screen.
