Before the Bell: Inside the Queens (EP. 01)

Kelsey Ollander: Good evening and welcome to this edition of Before the Bell: Inside the Queens; I'm your host, Kelsey Ollander, and on this edition of the Befire the Bell, we have special guest, Amy Acker, CEO of Queens of Absolution as well as the top fighters of the Queens: Elyse Levesque and Krysten Ritter; we have Saraya; we have Janet Montgomery, Kelli Berglund, and Halston Sage all with us tonight. Of course this is the week of December 17th and the big debut of the Queens so we are looking forward to talking with each and everyone of them and getting a special look of what's going through their minds at this juncture.

Ladies, how does it feel to be on the precipice of a Stable War with the VIXENS?

Saraya: Well, let's just say that when they're down on the mat - they should stay there. Take the advice from the English girl; we know what we're talking about.

Elyse Levesque: (laughing) Krysten and I talked about this backstage and to be honest I would say it's not going to be fair for the VIXENS. They're going up against me and Kristen and we can punch them hard enough to throw them on the mat, so I'm not sure what they're going to bring but I'm sure it will be something and I'm kind of looking forward to that. Win or lose it is going to be something special. I prefer to win at our debut. I however know this is for the fans; this is for the audience and I'm just looking forward to it.

Krysten Ritter: (smiling) I have to agree with what Elyse said. The reality is is in a boxing match we could probably just punch them to the canvas, but this is for the fans; this is our debut, we want to enjoy it and we don't know what the VIXENS are bringing but they are obviously going to bring something if they're willing to challenge us and we are looking forward to meeting our fans down in Sydney.

Amy Acker: (smirking) I think that's what we have to remember is that this is for the fans of the FCBA; this is our debut and it's going to be spectacular. We have entrances lined up that no one has ever done in the FCBA. Jennifer Morrison has been great at getting the stuff together and it's going to be something to watch and if you're there in person with tickets that were really hard to get - I think you're going to enjoy every minutes of the events, so when it comes down to it I think we should take a step back and no matter what happens, just enjoy the feeling of being there. Debut's only happen once. 

Kelli Berglund: (laughing) Well, I already got my bags packed for Australia. We just need to warm up the jet.

Kelsey Ollander: Halston, I want to focus on you for a moment. One of the last times you fought, Ashley Benson of the Pretty Little Punchers called you a 'jobber girl' and now you are here. How do you feel about that?

Halston Sage: Playing with fire, Kelsey I see. Well truth be told I actually wanna face Ashley Benson again. She learned last time I could wrestle, but this time I want to beat her down boxing and then maybe wrestle. Either way if Ashley is watching: yes Ashley, you're being challenged to a boxing match, are you woman enough to face me again.

Kelsey Ollander: Those are fighting words if I have heard them. Amy, the predictions by Tractorpull Magazine came out a little while ago and has everyone from the Queens being defeated. What do you have to say to that?

Amy Acker: Truthfully, I don't put much stock in Tess Valmore's predictions. From my understanding, she has landed herself in hot water over her projections many times, and her predictions tend to be skewed when it is a new stable so i wouldn't give it a grain of salt. On the other hand. I am looking forward to seeing our fighters out there and hopefully winning the match they are up against.

Saraya: (smirking) You know, that's the nicest way I've heard a Texan native put "it's a bunch of bullsh*t" since I came to the America.

Amy Acker: Well thanks... I think.

Kelsey Ollander: After the VIXENS, whom else are you all looking to target?

Krysten Ritter: Definitely Lookout! Boxing - Elyse and I could probably do some real damage against them.

Kelli Berglund: (smirks) Someone told me my old friend Olivia Holt was "Abs of Mass Destruction" champion for the longest time and flaunted it. I think I need to put her in her place like I did when we were younger. Even if she doesn't have that title anymore. Livvy, if you're watching this, give me a call; I think you need a lesson in humility.

Halston Sage: Well, I already said it - Ashley Benson.

Elyse Levesque: Also Jennifer Lawrence in addition to what Krysten already said. I heard Lawrence punches hard and it would be nice to have a challenge.

Kelsey Ollander: We're almost out of time for tonight; any final words Amy?

Amy Acker: Our much anticipated debut is this weekend, 17th of December so if you have tickets we look forward to seeing you live and in person - if you are watching on pay-per-view we appreciate it and we will give you a great show. I think the VIXENS probably feel the same as we do when it comes to this, it is going to be a spectacular, stable war, and you don't wanna miss this.

Kelsey Ollander: And with that we are going to wrap it up here; we want to thank everyone for joining us tonight for Before the Bell: Inside the Queens with the exclusive interview with Amy Acker, and everyone else who is here tonight. We want to thank all of you for joining us and we look forward to speaking to you all again after the December pay-per-view event. Thank you to everyone who tuned in; I hope you have a good night.
