La Reina Now Slave To Johnson's Whims

Posted: Oct 10th 2010 By: CMBurnham

She did everything she could to avoid ending up in the situation she's in, but there comes a point where fate just doesn't give you the hand you need.

NWA-OK Oklahoma Women's Champion La Reina de Corazones didn't ask for the attention from Jermaine Johnson. She never showed any interest. He simply decided it would be fun to stalk her. To make her his target. To force to her respond to his overtures. And for many months, Johnson had, in his own perverted way, been wooing La Reina to him.

When MSWA relocated to Paradise City night club, it seemed like a fresh start would happen. New fans. New city. La Reina might even have hoped that Johnson and rest of Impact, Inc. would stay away. If that was the plan, it was an utter failure. And by the end of Sunday's show, La Reina would come to understand that a fresh start was the last thing she actually wanted.

The weekend had begun in a positive way for La Reina as she met NWA World Women's Champion Tasha Simone at the NWA-OK event in Altus. Simone is a crafty veteran and had been champion for about 2 1/2 months. Although not possessing superior size or power, she had a wealth of experience on her side and dominated the match. But like they say, anything can happen in pro wrestling. Simone dominated 95% of the match, but made that one unfortunate mistake and ended up being rolled up by La Reina for the title.

The decision was not without controversy as Simone did have a foot under the rope that the referee did not see. NWA officials have announced that a rematch will be held in Tennessee in November and La Reina will have an opportunity to be declared the undisputed champion at that point.

Riding the wave of that victory, La Reina arrived at the MSWA show seperate from her defender, Dustin Daniels. And as she waited in the back, she overheard Impact, Inc.yammering to the crowd. Jermaine Johnson had already run down the new facility as well as the fans and now said he was there for business. He had been looking all over for "Double D" and said that if Double D had any guts, he would come out and shut Johnson up. It was apparent to Johnson that Double D was too scared and he even suggested that La Reina should come out so she could become one with "Black Velvet". This prompted La Reina to step up and come to the ring, getting in Johnson's face. She reminded him that he and all his associates had worn dresses at the last show in the effort to keep the MSWA Mid-South Title on Johnny Z. Calling Johnson "RuPaul", she said that he liked to dance around like a "ho in a drag show." Johson was outraged and said he didn't allow women to act that way. La Reina confidently said that she was sure that Johnson knew that Double D wasn't at the arena yet, so his calling out of Daniels was simply false bravado. Johnson replied that she should feel luck he's attracted to her or he would beat her himself. With Impact, Inc. closing in around La Reina, it appeared that was going to happen anyway, but thankfully Double D arrived in time, hitting the ring while still wearing his street clothes. He cleared Impact, Inc. from the ring by himself, then said he was tired of Johnson being around La Reina and wanted him gone from MSWA. Johnson saw an opportunity and said that he was willing to put his MSWA career on the line, but in return he wanted Daniels to put La Reina on the line. Seeing a chance to rid himself of a problem forever, Daniels agreed and the match was set for the main event.

When the time for the match came, Jordan Jacobs had been successful in his contest against Tyson Jaymes. Bernie D had upset Kevin Morgan thanks to come distraction from MSWA Oklahoma Champion Xavior. Bernie now said that at the end of the night, Impact, Inc's record would be "3 wins, 0 losses and 1 rat". Double D had to fight all 3 men for the first few minutes of the match until referee Mark Wilson ejected Bernie & Jordan from ringside. Since La Reina had a valid manager's liscense and was on the line, she could stay. And much like during thier match in IZW the week before, La Reina found herself having to help Double D. She bit Johnson's knuckles when he grabbed the rope while applying an abdominal stretch. She knocked Johnson's feet off the rope when he tried to use extra leverage during a pin attempt. She knew the desperate situation that Double D was in and did everything she could (within the rules) to make sure she didn't have to leave his side. But then, that one unfortunate mistake as the referee was knocked down. Double D hit the Moonlight Drive on Johnson, but there was no referee to count the pin. Double D went up top and connected with a high crossbody press. Still no ref. Johnson then gave a lowblow to Double D and grabbed a chair. He went to use it on Daniels, but La Reina hopped up on the apron and grabbed it from outside the ring. Double D tried to spear Johnson into the chair, but Johnson sidestepped and Daniels collided with the chair headfirst as La Reina held it. Johnson then hit the Energy shot and the dazed-but-conscious referee made the 3 count.

La Reina looked on in horror as Impact, Inc. emerged from the backstage area, celebrating their ill-gotten victory. Johnson ordered La Reina into the ring, then grabbed her by the wrist and yanked her down, dragging her off to her new fate. When Daniels recovered, he sat on his knees, wracked by guilt at not having been able to defend his woman. Johnson finally had what he'd been looking to get for months. It was all legal. There was nothing to do to protest.

The possession clause is only binding in MSWA, meaning La Reina is not forced to accompany Johnson to ringside in IZW where they both also compete. That's a small piece of comfort for Double D. Now Daniels simply needs a surefire plan to save La Reina from the clutches of that evil conglomeration.
