El terriblê is the worlds greatest wrester, and every year, he holds a competition for someone to have the opportunity to take him on and take this title. Up until the previous year, he’s focused mainly in just WWE type wrestling, but recently he’s moved into Luchador territory, so the setup of WWE type fights, rigging, chairs, etc. isn’t too well known by this new audience.
Tia’s father is a great luchador, and they both feel he’s a better wrestler, so he enters the competition. Surprisingly, he’s beaten and in the fanfare of the event his mask is taken. He’s been completely dishonored.
A year later Tia is ready to take on the competition herself and regain her fathers honor and his mask, as well as take the new title for herself. On her first round she’s faced off against another girl who is fundamentally not as good a wrestler as she is, and despite this she’s defeated. Her mask is not taken though. Her fathers was taken as a symbol more than anything else. A combo of Terriblé showing all the other Luchadors he’s better than them as well as just being an enormous douche.
Tia’s spirit is not defeated though, and even though she’s lost as a single wrestler she can try again if she entered with others as a team. The competition is larger than just singles, and teams do compete, though they largely have to fight together in tag team type deals until they are eventually split up.
She gathers four other girls and one of them is well versed in this new wrestling style and lets Tia know all about it. Before they enter, Tia and this new friend approach the announcers and broadcasters of the competition and confirm their suspicion about the underhandedness of El Terriblé.
Not only do they confirm it, but they air their own grievances with him. They’re accustomed to spectating and commenting on luchador matches, not this dishonorable mess that Terriblé has brought with him. However, working on “The World’s Greatest Wrestler’s” event has too large an impact on their own reputation and pay. Not only that, but apparently this is accepted where Terriblé comes from, so there’s nothing that they alone can do. However, they say that they’ll make sure Tia’s matches are shown without editing or false calls and if she's able to get far enough to face and defeat terrible, they’ll help her unmask him.
The fights continue and Tia is shown defeating Terriblé’s goons and rising to the top until she finally faces Terrible himself. His ring is in an elevated place without direct spectators, and he assumes the announcers and broadcasters are still in his pocket so he speaks rely about how she won’t defeat him and it’s impossible for anyone to do so. She does just this however, and terrible is exposed to everyone watching. The title is hers.
Tia’s now the world’s greatest wrestler and she reclaims her fathers mask and families honor. This story concludes and an epilogue is shown of the next years competition and honorable fighters.
I feel like you bring up some good points about the original story not flowing and some plot holes that were harder to fix than I originally thought. This story how ever concerns me, in that it will be too short, we need to create a feature length film and I don't know if there's enough to work with here, time wise and character development. I also think that her losing but then being able to jump right back into the tournament, but in a team match doesn't make much sense.
