the revolution will be televised.

Change can be one of the most vital circumstances in this day and age, especially in the world of professional wrestling. Such a so called revolution was branded on the grandest stage of them all: World Wrestling Entertainment. The Diva's Revolution, they called it.

Why brand a change in design, though? Wouldn't it be more ideal to just let a change like that occur without slapping a such a ridiculous title on it? Doesn't it feel as if it takes away from the actions of those "talented" women by trademarking their storyline?

That's what Lucille Moreau firmly believed. The Toronto native had watched the petty excuse for a revolution transpire from her spot at the top of the Total Nonstop Action and Shimmer divisions. She'd been a major impact on both companies by leading the way for massive success. A reason she thrived there was because they were the revolution.

A silly name and gimmick wasn't something they needed to get the fans involved. The women let their actions do the talking.

Lucille believed, nay knew, that anything showcased by the women in those companies was ten times better than the show put on by those "divas". That was a major reason she didn't want to move of to that stage: she feared that her character would be mistreated and she would become the laughing stalk of the division.

She was what many would call a revolutionist, a true revolutionist. Stepping out of the box and fighting the power was more of her forte. From cage matches to street fights, that was were she shined. She fought for titles, for those she loved, for change.

Because change was her most powerful weapon.


One night after a taping of Impact in Charlotte, North Carolina, Lucille found herself out with a couple of her co-workers. Her fellow Canadian, Gail Kim-Irvine, Brooke Adams, and Nicholas Aldus, invited her out for a couple drinks. Even though she didn't partake in alcohol, she joined them for fun.

The group laughed and chatted the night away. Topics from backstage politics to their personal life were discussed. The women asked Nick about his son, Donovan, who had recently turned a year old. It was a nice change in pace for the group from the hardships of the road.

"Lucy, you are killing that new hair style." Brooke smiled towards her friend.

The younger women giggled and ran her hand through her half shaved hair. Originally, the change was for a storyline, to showcase the "badass" side of Lucy. And over time, she began to love it. Not many women had hair like hers, causing her to stand out; exactly what she wanted.

"Did you hear?" Gail started, catching the attention of the trio, "Apparently Shane McMahon himself made an appearance at the arena tonight."

Lucy nearly spit up her drink on Nick out of shock. The son of the Chairman of World Wrestling Entertainment was at a TNA event? Impossible. It was unthinkable, wasn't it?

"Why was he there?" Nick asked, somewhat concerned.

"I'm not sure, but he seemed to make a great first impression with Dixie."

Lucy's digits fidgeted on the side of her glass as her leg started to shake under the table. Of course she was concerned that Shane McMahon was in the same arena as her. Although not as intimating as his sister Stephane, a sickening feeling filled her stomach thinking about it.
