The catering department was completely transformed inside the arena. All around were posters of some of the Banana Lime Blurs best moments in the XWF. It truly seems to be a fitting send off for one of the greats in the company.

Of course, it probably could have been, had it not been hosted by one of the people responsible for the most unceremonious way that Ruby had left the company; not carried out of the building triumphant like that final scene in ‘An Officer and a Gentleman’ by Cent, but hauled out the back door and wheeled into the back of a waiting ambulance.

Cameras from the XWF and Sid’s reality show, ‘The World According to Sid’ were trained on the makeshift stage as Sidney Grey made her way up to say a few words about the former multi-time champion and hero to the masses.

Sid looks around at all the posters of Ruby and nods her head in appreciation. “Guys, please stop and take it all in…this is a big moment. This is a HUGE moment! It’s not very often that a business is graced by a generational talent that takes the entire industry by storm and leaves such an indelible mark.” She pauses for the polite applause that follows, respectfully. “It would be easy to make this all about gender and the breaking of glass ceilings, but that would only diminish all of the hard work and effort that it took to get to this point. It hasn’t been a great career for a woman…it’s been an amazing career for one of the best that this business has ever seen!”

Huge applause fills the area, from those who knew and loved Ruby best, from fellow rivals, friends, and even ring crew and staff. Sid adds her own applause to that of the masses before continuing, “I know that somewhere…inside some shitty Canadian free VD clinic that passes for an ICU, Ruby is lying there pissing blood into a bedpan and wishing she was here to add her own applause to yours…to honor the woman that has elevated the XWF in just a few short weeks, like she never could in the span of…I don’t know or care, how many years!”

The cheers turn to boos and groans, and the few cheers that are still heard the loudest come from Sid’s Personal Assistant, Dani Chow and her Executive Assistant, Paula Shock-Smith. Sid points and winks at the pair, then turns her attention back to the farce of a Retirement Celebration. “In honor of Ruby, I am going to invite anyone who wants to come up and say a few words about her, to go ahead and do so at this time.”

Sid starts to step down, then pauses as she takes a bottle of beer from one of the hostesses and walks back up on stage. She pours out a little on the floor, “Pouring out a little bit for the homie.”

Sid then put the bottle to her lips and turns it upside down, gulping down the rest of it, then letting out an ear-shattering belch as she walks off stage, leaving it empty for anyone who wants to say goodbye to Ruby…or not, Sid is drunk and doesn't really care that much...
