Ises Insider Infos

Live:
A Camera flashes to life and it shows a nice office atmosphere with cheerful employees who are busy working. A big AFW logo dominates the background where two upholstered chairs and a small table with refreshments are already waiting for guests to come. The camera goes through the ranks, taking course on the big separate interview area at the end of the bureau for the administration of AFW where Garuga Ise is already waiting, with folded arms on her back, going for a casual but ready for business impression.

"Ah, there you are."
She smiles friendly after she playfully finds the camera. A company sign, fits nicely on her tailor made women fashion suit credits her as a senior road agent and manager of the R&D department.
"Dear ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Ises Insider Infos, the newest addition of AFW video podcasts. I am Police Lieutnant Garuga Ise, senior road agent and officially sanctioned head of the wellness policy department. And on top of that, I have the honor and privilege to be your host tonight. Irassheimase."
Her captain would certainly approve of this new, softer course she had taken on since her main rivals were gone from the AFW for years now.

"The girl I have the joy to announce basically needs no introduction anymore. She stepped into very big footsteps and an even bigger shadow but managed rather quickly to make a name on her own."
Ise grinned a little. Metaphorically and in reality, the shadow she mentioned was probably rather big to overlook in any sense.
"Please give it your all at home for BELINDA NORTHMAN!"

Belinda was a bit nervous, she hadn't really been on any talk show or the like before. So it was a bit of a new experience and she hoped she wouldn't like...flub anything up. She wore a pair of jeans with a black top, a silver necklace with a lovely little pendant and a pair of brown leather boots. Once her name was called she stepped out onto the scene and walked up towards Ise.

She would offer her hand to the woman for a handshake and a smile as she would then seat herself down in her seat and look on at her interviewer for the night. Smile never leaving her pretty face as she moved her hand up to stroke a few strands of hair away from her line of sight. " Thank you for having me here. It's quite the honor." Belinda responded with her kind demeanor and that same friendly smile that captured the heats of the fans.

Ise politely and sincerely shook the hand of Belinda. Although she had some grudge with the older Northman sister, Belinda was not Cecilia and Ise was not a defender of a kin liability mentality in any way. Sitting down on the other chair, the big girl motioned for Belinda to suit herself with refreshments when she needed or wanted to.

"My pleasure for having you here with us. Indeed, thank you for being the first guest of our new format. Despite my introduction speech, this is not primarily a show about you being the sister of somebody. Although I of course can´t completely spare you with any of that later on."
Ise then opened up the talking segment with a friendly smile and an encouraging nod.
" So, Miss Belinda... how are YOU doing today?"
She did not say you aloud, just very clear to underline her point.

Belinda shook Ise's hand and smiled up towards the woman as she would soon take her seat and see the refreshments, she would take a glass of water and take a deep sip of it before placing the glass down on the table. Now that she heard what Ise had to say the blond would nod her head.

" Oh I understand, it's difficult to get away from that subject. Though my gratitude all the same for keeping it more focused on other aspects." Belinda let out as she then got the question of how she was doing.

" I'm quite alright actually. I was on quite the hot streak for a while...though Kyoko Akan was able to stop that hot streak. Still, I'm hoping to not let it die down and keep going with a lot of victories." Belinda let out as she would smile towards Ise.

"So you were facing Kyoko Akan lately. That is actually quite interesting because the both of you appear to be part of a new force of wrestlers who slowly but steadily replaces the old guard in the top positions. Other names that come to mind from this exclusive group are Gwendolyn du Pont Bettencourt, Minerva Larsen, Alaina Sanders and Julia Rogers. Although all these people already held the Entropy belt at one time or another."
Ise was not someone to rub a loss in when she actually had respect for a wrestler. and that was mostly the case if the wrestler was not primary a sex athlete.
"Maybe you can see where I am heading with this. Can we except you to rise into that exclusive formation of title belt holders soon?"

Belinda nodded her head as Ise spoke, she supposed that she was a part of some form of new guard of wrestlers to come into the lime-light right now. She would smile and nod her head towards Ise and then shrug her shoulders when that question came her way.

" I do think you're leaving out a few interesting people from that line-up. Though I see what theme you were going with there. " Belinda let out as she would then take a moment to think. " I would of course, like any wrestler in AFW say that I am aiming for a title, at the very least a title shot. Seeing as I have beaten the likes of Akiha Kosha a few times, who is one of the two Tag titles champions. Julia Rogers and Alaina who both held the Entropy Belt....I do feel I have decent chance at either of those two belts." Belinda would nod her head and smile towards Ise.

" After all, I have a pretty great Tag Team partner myself, so either the tag title or the Entropy title would be things i'd set my eyes on for the time being." Belinda said with a light chuckle following her words." Or who knows, maybe I'll get a chance to go for that Friction Title one of these days." She laughed a slight nervousness to be hinted at in her laughter from those words. Feeling as if she might have overstepped a tad.

"As of today, 1421 wrestlers are listed with AFW in the main section. Even when you subtract two third of them because they are retired, arrested or for whatever other reason, you would be hard pressed to establish a base of viable contenders for the entropy belt that has less than hundred names in it. I indeed can´t list them all here, so sorry to all that I left out."
Ise winked in the camera as an apology for the people who she had left out. Sometimes even Ise was astounded at the sheer size of AFW with all its local brand, film business and tour wrestlers that complimented the main roster.

"Who would you think is the bigger challenge if you should aim for the Entropy belt, a veteran down on its luck who has his second spring or a young gun on a winning streak?"
The Japanese asked in a friendly and casual tone to kill some of the nervousness of Belinda. She would surely return to the tag team later, but for now she was focused on Belinda´s solo work.

Belinda hadn't really ever thought about how many wrestlers that AFW had, and this was only the friction numbers. Belinda would nod her head as she thought about the question that Ise soon asked her though. The cheer number of how many wrestlers Friction had still sort of running through her mind. 

" Ah?..hmm..." Belinda let out as she would think about the question a bit longer. " Sorry, it's not as easy of a question to answer as I might have thought." Belinda would nod her head before she'd take a sip of water. " I'd say, having fought both kinds of wrestlers in my friction career." Belinda started as she would then look towards Ise. " I'd have to say that...either of them would be a huge challenge. However, it doesn't so much comedown to what kind of wrestler they are, veteran or newcomer. It comes down to who they are." Belinda spoke out as she would then take another sip of water.

"Now that is interesting, it comes down to who they are. What do you mean exactly with that? If someone has the hearth of a lion, or the patience of a snake or the keen eye of a soaring eagle or something like that? As you can probably figure out, there is a zoo nearby and we have big windows here."
The cop made a little joke to keep the atmosphere as casual as possible, poinring shortly to a naerby window. Ise herself was a big supporter of seniority in terms of the locker room but also had keen eye for young talent that wanted to take the world by storm, so she could understand where Belinda was coming from.

Belinda would nod her head for bit as she listened onto Ise's question. She would take a second to gather her thoughts and then once she had would proceed to explain herself. " Well, what I mean is that you need three things. You need the heart, you need the mind and you need the skill. It doesn't matter if it's natural talent or earned through hardwork." Belinda let out as she would stroke her hand through her hair.

" What I mean is that even if it's a veteran or a rising star, as long as they have the heart, the mind and the skills. That's all that matters. That's the girl I'd wanna fight." Belinda said as she would take another sip of water.
