2020.11.28: PWN - LONE - LONE 41

Intro

Before we head to the commentator booth, the scene opens up on Kevin North and wrestling legend; Frank Washington. Standing side-by-side, there’s an aura about the room, one with definite sadness as Kevin begins to speak.

North: “On November 17th at 3:41 in the morning, the wrestling world lost a legend and a pioneer as Lisa “The Glorious One” Robertson passed away at the age of sixty-two.”

Frank now speaks up.

Washington: “She fought a valiant battle against stomach cancer but unfortunately she succumbed to her illness. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you Glorious One and this one is for you.”

Instead of the standard LONE video package that plays at the beginning of each show, this one is different as it is nothing but a video package of The Glorious One. After the video ends, the following pops up on the screen.

Lisa “The Glorious One” Robertson
May 12th, 1958 — November 17th, 2020
May you Rest In Peace!

The camera cuts to the ring now, moving away from the pop up on the screen to show that same picture on the titantron and many of the LONE Roster standing on stage. Johnny Baxter is in the center of the ring with a microphone in hand.

Baxter: And now, we ask everyone in attendance to please rise... for a moment of silence and a 10 bell salute... to celebrate the life of "The Glorious One" Lisa Robertson.

Baxter lowers the mic and bows his head as the camera cuts to the stage.

Everyone on the roster is standing on stage, with the champions in front. Everyone is wearing a black t-shirt, in honor of The Glorious One.

DING........!

Terri Thompson and Alison Crowne, the Tag Team Champions, are shown. Terri and Alison have their heads bowed, and Terri takes a moment to wipe tears from her face. Qent is shown next, the LONE Champion, standing next to Lexi Pryce who has a hand on her shoulder.

DING........!

The team known as Spice & Ice; Queen Cinnamon and Violent Violet, are standing together. Cinnamon is crying softly, and Violet has an arm around her shoulders.

DING........!

Sister Catherine and Stitches, the team known as The Damned, are shown next. Stitches looks like she's trying not to cry, and Sister Catherine has her head bowed with the hood of her nun habit over her head.

DING........!

Hannah Kix is shown, standing next to her french translator. Hannah had the hood of her boxing/mma robe pulled over her head. She just... stares in silence.

DING........!

Rook is shown next, those orange and indestructible glasses mostly concealing her eyes. Her head is bowed. Her former tag partner in "Hurricane" Katrina Matthers is standing next to her.

DING........!

The Juggalettes are shown next, with their face paint on, heads lowered and arms around each others' shoulders.

DING........!

Amy and Anna Stadtfeld, the identical twin tag team are standing together with their heads lowered, crying and one of them wipes tears from her eyes.

DING........!

Ashley Lopez is shown next, hands low and holding onto her left hand's wrist while her eyes just stare forward at the ring. Her eyes look red and misty.

DING........!

And finally, the first LONE Tag Team Champions are shown; No Fly Zone: "Fly" Felicia Hawkins and Kayoko "Yo-yo Yoko" Ichikawa are shown. Felicia looks like she's having a really hard time holding it together, trembling as tears stream down her face. Kayoko has her arm around her and is looking at her best friend with much concern.

DING........!

Some fans might've known, but after what happened... everyone realizes now that Felicia Hawkins is actually the daughter of Mark and Lisa Robertson. Kayoko has her left arm around Felicia's shoulders, squeezing her tight and after the salute, Felicia just buries her face against Kayoko, sobbing uncontrollably.

The camera cuts to Baxter now.

Baxter: Thank you... And thank you, "The Glorious One" Lisa Robertson.....

Crowd: THANK-YOU-LI-SA! *CLAP! CLAP! CLAP-CLAP-CLAP!* THANK-YOU-LI-SA! *CLAP! CLAP! CLAP-CLAP-CLAP!* THANK-YOU-LI-SA! *CLAP! CLAP! CLAP-CLAP-CLAP!* THANK-YOU-LI-SA! *CLAP! CLAP! CLAP-CLAP-CLAP!*

The crowd soon dies down as we're shown one last look at everyone on stage and the memorial shot on the titantron above.

With a very quiet and somber sound, it’s not as crazy and chaotic as it normally is due to the recent passing of Lisa “The Glorious One” Robertson. Sitting at the booth tonight is Drew Stevenson, Frank Washington and Mark Robertson.

All three men look like they have had a very rough couple of nights but by far, Mark Robertson shows the worst signs. His eyes are red, puffy, and you can tell that he has been crying but he is doing his absolute best to keep his emotions in check.

Stevenson: “Hello everyone and welcome to LONE #41: Glory For It all. Unfortunately we are here tonight with some very sad news, as everybody has already heard, Lisa Robertson, better known to all of you as The Glorious One recently passed away and…”

Taking a moment to keep his emotions in check as well, Frank immediately begins to speak to help cover for his good friends.

Washington: “We are here to honor her life which is what she deserves. All we can say right now from the bottom of our hearts is that we are so incredibly sorry for your loss Mark, no words can express how we truly feel.”

Lowering his head and looking incredibly heartfelt, genuine, and heartbroken, Frank says nothing further as Mark, husband of Lisa begins to speak up and already; he is choked up.

Mark: “First off, thank you guys for all of the love and support over the last couple of days, it really means a lot. You know, you can’t prepare for something like this. It hit so fast and so suddenly that nobody had the opportunity to say goodbye, to really give her a proper goodbye and…”

As expected, Mark suddenly breaks down into tears as his best friend, Drew Stevenson reaches over and holds his shoulder to give him support.

Mark: “I just want all of you to know that she loved you guys very much. When you guys would boo her? It made her day because she knew that she was giving you guys the best performance that she could and let me tell you, she ate, slept, and breathed this business so when she finally decided to step away — it was really hard for her to do so.”

Giving Mark all the time he needs, both Frank and Drew continue showing their love and support for him in his time of need.

Mark: “But from the bottom of my heart, thank you guys because you gave my wife something very special and that is something that I can never repay you guys.”

Reaching up and wiping away some of his tears, everyone takes a moment to take in a much needed deep breath. Trying to prevent any dead air, Stevenson begins to speak again.

Stevenson: “You know, it’s not very often when someone stays in the business as long as The Glorious One did. Let me tell you man, she knew how to work a crowd But one of the most special things about her is how she will ALWAYS give advice to anybody who sought after it. At the end of the day? All she wanted was for the business to be better than the way she left it and I don’t think I will ever be as giving as she was, but I do know that if I am even half the person she is then I will be truly blessed.”

Swallowing hard, he can’t fight his emotions anymore as even Stevenson himself begins to cry.

Stevenson: “All I can ever say is thank you, thank you for being there when I needed you, thank you for being there when WE needed you and you will be SORELY missed Glorious One. There will never be another one like you!”

Immediately picking up from where Stevenson left off, Frank is very quick with his words as he knows exactly what he wants to say.

Washington: “When you think of Pioneers, one of the first people that you think about regarding this business is The Glorious One. She paved the road for all of us to be here and she revolutionized this business so we can do things and set trends that we probably would have never been able to accomplish if it weren’t for her. From all of us here at the Prospect Wrestling Network, thank you Glorious One!”

With all three men lowering their heads in sadness, we immediately begin seeing a beautiful package showing The Glorious One in the ring.

The Glorious One Vs “Lucky” Lucy Lassiter

The Glorious One Vs “Lucky” Lucy Lassiter
September 14th, 1976
Lone Star Grappling Arts
Houston, Texas

Standing in the ring after both women made quite an entrance, The Glorious One is making her professional wrestling debut against “Lucky” Lucy Lassiter.

Ace: “These women here tonight are going to revolutionize the wrestling business someday. We have the debuting Glorious One against “Lucky” Lucy Lassiter and this one should be one for the books.”

Starting things off in a very old-school fashion, they embrace in a collar and elbow tie up as Lucy quickly applies a headlock onto Glorious One. Catching Lucy by surprise however, The Glorious One hoists Lucy into the air hitting a backdrop and bridging it into a pinfall attempt.

One…

Two…

Pressing her shoulder off of the canvas, Lucy is quick to strike The Glorious One across the chest with a very hard chop as it echoes throughout the arena.

Ace: “What a kick out by the veteran and then immediately, she takes it right to The Glorious One with a very hard knife edge chop.”

5:35 into the match…

After some old school textbook wrestling, both women are at a stalemate which has impressed everybody since this is the wrestling debut of The Glorious One. Having gained some traction against the veteran, The Glorious One yanks Lucy up by her hair and puts her back down with a vicious scoop slam.

Ace: “The Glorious One working on that back which is to set up for her big finishing maneuver, the Spotlight Backbreaker.”

After putting Lucy down with a vicious scoop slam, The Glorious One rolls her over onto her stomach and immediately applies a modified chin lock which really torques those back muscles.

Ace: “The Glorious One may be new here tonight but it’s obvious that she has done her homework and knows how to weaken that back before trying to put Lucy away with the Spotlight Backbreaker.”

8:15 into the match…

After having worked on that back for a while, Lucy has been able to fight out of every attempt that The Glorious One has attempted at trying to put her away with that Spotlight Backbreaker. Having gained some major traction back after tossing The Glorious One off of the top rope, it’s obvious that Lucy is really hurting right now as she continuously holds her lower back after every move that she pulls off on The Glorious One.

Ace: “Lucy is really hurting right now and you can definitely tell. She is not able to hide her injury, it is definitely getting the best of her right now but she is a fighter and if she lives up to her lucky name then she should live to see another day in the ring.”

9:05 into the match…

Cutting her momentum off very quickly, The Glorious One changed the tide of this match when Lucy decided to take a big risk and go up top. When she jumped off looking for a big splash, The Glorious One caught her in mid-air showing great strength as she brought her down with the Spotlight Backbreaker.

Ace: “What strength by The Glorious One and this one looks like it could be over for “Lucky” Lucy Lassiter who wasn’t so lucky tonight.”

Hooking the leg, the referee drops down to make the count as Lucy isn’t moving.

One…

Two…

THREE!!!

Hearing the bell ring, The Glorious One gets off of Lucy and has her hand raised in victory immediately. Lying down on the canvas while clutching her lower back, Lucy knows that she has been defeated here tonight.

Shawna: “Here is your winner, THE GLOOOORIOUS ONNNNEEE!”

Ace: “Tonight was an impressive showing for The Glorious One and if she keeps this up then she could be something very special here in the future.”

Terri Thompson Interview

The camera changes to a spot in the backstage area; A gray wall with an empty black steel chair set up to sit down in. Terri Thompson comes in from the left side of the screen, LONE Tag Team championship around her waist. She sits down in the chair and stares directly into the camera. Her eyes are red and misty, like she had been crying earlier.

She's wearing her usual ring gear, however, she has on a black t-shirt with an image of The Glorious One in black and white, and it says In Loving Memory of Lisa "The Glorious One" Robertson; the t-shirt that everyone was wearing during the 10 bell salute. She has in her right hand a rose made from Origami that she spins a little bit between her fingers, eyes cast down on that for a moment before looking back into the camera's lens.

Terri: Life... man, I...

Terri starts tripping over her own words right out the gate. She knows what she wants to say, but her thoughts on what to say are causing her to choke up already. Her lips tremble, eyes starting to well up. Her voice cracks.

Terri: We take life for granted, man. A lot of us do. Life hits us, life moves by so fast. Life... they say it's what happens when you're busy making other plans. I know it. I know it all too well. I've seen it and I've experienced it many times. And even though I know... it still surprises me.

Terri takes a moment to look down at the origami rose, and when she does so, tears fall from her face and stain it as she spins it between her fingers.

Terri: ... Someone whipped this up for me from a napkin, because they noticed I was feeling bad. I... I told them I would keep it, color it and cherish it. They said they could make me a better one and while I said that's cool I... I still went with this one because it's... it's the thought that counts and that's what I... that's what I've been thinking about since her passing. I--- L-let me tell you a story about the Glorious One.

Terri takes a moment to breathe in deep, then exhales, relaxing herself.

Terri: It was sometime during... LONE 6... when The Glorious One gave me a thumb to my left eye and split it open. After the match, Lisa... Lisa came up to me and apologized to me for the eye. I told her it was all right, and we had a talk about it. People see The Glorious One as this dastardly woman but... but Lisa, Lisa was different. She was so kind, so caring. She was like... the Locker Room Mama, y'know? She was like the Locker Room Mama and...

Terri takes a moment to wipe tears from her eyes with the thumb of her left hand. She shivers, voice cracking again.

Terri: And she was... she was always there to listen, and to offer advice. She didn't big league anyone. There... There's a hole in our business with her passing and I don't know if it'll ever be filled. It can't be.

Terri leans forward, and with her left hand pulls on her left eye's eyelid.

Terri: See it? There's a little mark there. Probably a bit hard to see, but it's paler than my pale ass...

Terri sometimes... injects humor into serious moments. She leans back now.

Terri: When you told me you were sorry for cutting my eye... I said it's all right but what I should've said was..... thank you. Thank you, Lisa, because you've given me something to always remember you by. You've left your mark on me, literally and figuratively.

Terri holds up the origami rose now towards the camera.

Terri: But I didn't know... I... life hit me. When I got the call that she passed I was... hurt, sad... angry. I was so angry that she was taken from us. But I started thinking... celebrate her life, not her last moments.

Terri lowers the rose, staring into the camera to... stare into the eyes of everyone viewing this.

Terri: If you had an argument with family over thanksgiving... if you had an argument with your friend. Try to... Try to patch things up if you can... because you never know if that argument will be your last moment with them. And if it is... think about all the good they've done in life and all the good moments you've had. If you haven't talked to anyone close to you in a while, reach out to them. Say hello, see how they're doing. It'll mean more to them than you know. Tell them... Tell them you love them. You're not soft... You're not weak if you use the words 'I love you.' You're actually a lot stronger than you realize. Tell them you love them..... because it's the thought that counts.

Terri then makes a sign of the cross with her left hand, then kisses her fore and middle fingers of it before raising them up into the air and looking upward.

Terri: I love you, Lisa.

Terri's face and voice trembles.

Terri: ... And thank you for everything...!

Terri stands up now, moving to set the origami rose onto the chair. The camera zooms in on it as she steps away and the scene fades out.
