"I lie awake, and dread the lonely nights, I'm not alone..." The radio plays a Dokken song from 1987 called "Dream Warriors".
The arena is getting set up for WCW's Monday Nitro Live TV Taping for TNT television, and the local rock radio station is playing over the speakers, giving the crew something to listen to.
"I haven't heard this song in like 10 years!" One of the crew members states, and laughs slightly.
"I remember seeing these guys with Judas Priest or someone like that back in high school." Another crew member cuts in.
"Your listening to Springwood's number one rock station! Were in the middle of a Rokken Dokken Monday! All Dokken, all Monday long! Today isn't any Monday tho! Today is the Monday where WCW and TNT takes TV cameras to the Save-A-Lot Arena for Monday Nitro! You can see your favorites like the nWo Wolfpac and Hollywood Hulk Hogan in action tonight! Don't have tickets? Well keep it locked here, and we have a chance for you to win two tickets to Monday Nitro, sponsored by Mountain Dew and Fast Freddy's Hot Dogs. Those chances will be coming up right after this commercial break. Keep it locked for more Dokken, and your chances to win tickets to WCW Monday Nitro!" The radio DJ cut on.
"Rokken Dokken Monday? What is that crap?" Eric Bischoff walks out and asks the crew members.
"I have no clue." The guy who was securing the turnbuckles answered.
"It's a Springwood tradition, since 1985." Nitro Girl, Glitter, states, as she walked down to the ring from the seating area- holding a soda cup filled with Mountain Dew in one hand, and a cheeseburger in the other.
"How do you know this?" One of the crew guys asked.
"I grew up here, obviously. And I like Dokken. So put two and two together." Glitter laughs.
"You should get down to the local radio station and do some promo then." Eric laughs.
"If I was invited, sure. But I don't think Nitro Girls should act like the nWo and just invade stuff like a radio station."
"Your husband is in the Wolfpac. I'm sure the behavior can be excused."
"My husband is also Sting, not Nash." Glitter reminds Eric.
"Either way, it would be good publicity, Glitter. The hometown girl. A fucking hot blonde Nitro Girl. From Springwood. Come on."
"What time is it, anyway?" Glitter sighs.
"It's noon. We go live at 8. Fan interaction starts at 6:30. You have so much time, I'll even call the radio station and get you in for a promo." Eric states.
"We couldn't have planned this sooner? I don't want to make it obvious that I'm back in this town. For reasons."
"Well, like it or not, they will know. The Nitro Girls have a big number tonight, and you get a solo dance during the break before the Wolfpac comes out. They will know."
"Fuck, Eric. Really?"
"Yes, really. Now, I'm going to call the radio station and we are going to get you set up with an interview."
"Can Sting come with me? Think of how much more publicity that would bring."
"Sting isn't a thin blonde with boobs."
"Come on." Glitter gapes.
"I don't know why your so afraid of this, it's your home town. And it's for thee product. It's perfect."
"Fine." Glitter moans and takes a bite of her cheeseburger. "Make the call."
"What gives, Glitz?" Scott Hall asks, walking in to where things were getting set up, with a bag from a local convenience store in hand.
"I let it slip this is my hometown and now Bisch wants to set me up with the local rock station for an interview. I don't want it to be known that I'm back in town, ya know?"
"I hear ya. It's like that time where I killed that man. I still don't like going to that town."
"He won't even let be bring Sting."
"Are you gonna interview with the other Nitro Girls?"
"Nope."
"Damn."
"Yep."
"Glitter! Your scheduled for a 1:30 interview!" Eric screams.
"Damnit." Glitter mumbles under her breath. "Better get ready."
Glitter walks to the locker room, a look of annoyance obvious on her face.
"Princess!" Sting calls out.
"What?" Glitter responds, annoyance in her voice- something that took Sting aback, she normally never sounded annoyed near him.
"What's wrong?"
"I have a radio interview soon."
"Isn't that a good thing?"
"Alone. Here. Hometown. Not something I'm thrilled about, Stinger-Babe."
"Is it at least a rock station? Where you can always talk about music?"
"Yeah." She shrugs and pulls out a random Sting shirt and puts it on, then slips into a black leather mini skirt.
"It'll be ok." Sting pats Glitter on the back.
"I know, I'm just nervous. For different reasons. I don't even think it's good for me to be back here."
"Just don't tell them your real name. Just go by Glitter. It'll be ok, trust me."
"I do... I'm just.. I guess I'll get over it." Glitter smiles and runs a brush thru her blonde, over sprayed hair.
"Is my makeup still fresh?"
"Yes, princess." Sting smiles and kisses Glitter before she heads out of the arena.
"I love you." Glitter smiles.
"I love you too."
*At the radio station*
"Thanks for listening to Springwood's number one rock station! Were in the middle of our Rokken Dokken Monday! And we still have two more tickets for WCW Monday Nitro Live, TONIGHT! Be a part of history! And you want to know how you can win the last two tickets to WCW Monday Nitro? Listen to my special guest."
"Hey Springwood! It's WCW Nitro Girl Glitter. Tonight Nitro is live at the Save-A-Lot Arena, and it's sold out. Springwood's number one rock station has two tickets to give away tho. So if you want them, you not only have to be caller 13, you have to correctly identify what Dokken album this Dokken song is from, and what year it was released. I expect to hear from the winner after this song." Glitter states, and the DJ plays Dokken's "In The Middle".
"Hello, your caller number 13! What was the lucky Dokken song?" Glitter answers.
"In the Middle, off the Breaking the Chains album!" The caller exclaims.
"Congrats! You're going to Nitro! What's your name?" Glitter states, recognizing the voice, but not wanting to be certain...
"Joey Krussel!"
Glitter couldn't believe it. Joey was her best friend in high school.
"Congrats, Joey! You can come by the arena at 6 to pick up your tickets, and stick around for the fan interaction that starts at 6:30. You can meet me, Sting, Kevin Nash, Diamond Dallas Page, Kimberly Page, Scott Hall, Buff Bagwell and many more!"
Glitter hung up the phone with Joey, and the official radio interview started.
"So, Glitter, WCW magazine says you hail from Springwood. How does it feel to be back?"
"It's bittersweet. I'm reminded of why I left home." Glitter laughs. "But it's also pretty cool to be back. It's my home."
"What's it like being part of the biggest wrestling promotion in the world currently?"
"It's always a party. It's so much fun. I love it."
"Did you always want to be a part of the pro wrestling world?"
"To be honest, no. But now that I am, I have no regrets. It's actually a positive thing in my life. I don't know where I would be without pro wrestling, probably dead. But I don't like to think like that."
"Switching the subject now, seeing how this is a rock radio station- who is your all time favorite band?"
"Dokken and Motley Crue."
"Are you a fan of Rokken Dokken Mondays?"
"Of course I am! I've been a fan since middle school!"
"I hate to cut you off, but this seems to be all the time we have. Have any last words for the fans?"
"Keep rokken with Dokken and keep on being fans of WCW. Keep cool and say no to drugs! This is Glitter, saying see ya later!"
The interview ended, and Glitter was shown around the studio a little bit.
"Hey, man, I'm going to Subway to get lunch. What does everyone want?" A blonde woman, on the slightly heavier side, asked the DJs.
"The usual." The DJs answered.
"So a meatball with a bottle of Coke, and a hot pastrami with a bottle of Sprite." She nods.
"That's Jennifer, our talent relations/main interview girl." The DJ says to Glitter.
Jennifer was also a familiar face to Glitter- she was friends with her in high school.
"You look familiar." Jennifer looks at Glitter.
"She's a Nitro Girl." The DJ answers.
"You know I don't watch wrestling." Jennifer shakes her head.
"I grew up around here." Glitter laughs.
Jennifer nods. "I bet I went to school with you."
"You probably did." Glitter laughs. She was not going to reveal her true identity, it was nothing against Jennifer, but she was always a bit of a gossip.
"Well it was nice to meet you all. I have to get back to the arena." Glitter smiles and leaves the building.
She survived this, without getting noticed. Maybe it wouldn't be too bad after all. Hell, she forgot what she was so afraid of anyway. It must have been something silly.
