So, it’s Adam. I mean, I guess the whole point of you clicking on this link or whatever was to see what I said and stuff so I should probably stop introducing myself at some point…
Anyway, a lot has happened since the last time I came on this little blog. Probably owed you all who actually pay attention to this thing a bit more than just this one post to try to really explain the past few weeks, but it’s been a bit crazy.
So, do I start with Remi or Tasmin? Chronologically, it’s like Tasmin was kinda first but then Remi kinda was...I will go with the positive thing first…
So...I started dating someone. I’m not exactly sure how it happened, to be perfectly honest with you. It started off as friends being there for one another. She was going through her breakup with Jason Hunter. I was going through my breakup with Izzy Roxx. She wanted to cheer me up. I wanted to cheer her up. I mean, we were friends before this. Back in December, I spent a lot of time trying to convince her that she wasn’t a nobody. I told her that she was on the cusp of being big. And she got there. She’s the South Bay Champion.
February, she had second thoughts about being in the business anymore. I told her that she can do it. Part of me wanted to tell her that I thought she was outright amazing, but I didn’t want to be...well, awkward…
April came around and we were both told we were going to represent West Coast Genesis. We started geeking out over the possibility of teaming with one another. At this point, I think we could say we were friends. We didn’t end up on the same team though. I was on a team with two people no longer in NGW. She ended up winning the whole thing. I remember being so proud of her. And what did she do? She told me that I was great and that there were plenty of main events for me.
That was when June came around. Izzy basically had me super depressed. I couldn’t take any more of her defeatist complaining. It made me feel like I wasn’t good enough for her. And that was making me feel like I was in this toxic mess and there was no way out. A few people tried to say things to get her to realize what she was doing to me, including Remi. But Tasmin...that wonderful girl she is told me to come to see her, she has pizza. Now, my favorite food might be pizza rolls, but I will never say no to the real thing. She had just become single herself and she needed cheering up, and three days later, I decided enough was enough. I ended it with Izzy.
We kept in touch, messaging one another pretty much daily. She got a little drunk. I had to tell her to drink lots of water. Two days later, we started hanging out at each other’s places. I fell asleep on her couch. She fell asleep on mine. There...started to be a little affection for one another. I started developing a crush. I thought there was no way possible she would ever have one...but she did. Enough that when...well, the thing I’m going to cover after I’m done talking about her...happened, she was so worried about me that she flew across the country to find me. I was lost, alone, and didn’t know who to trust anymore. But she wouldn’t leave me until she believed that I was okay. Honestly, she hasn’t left me since. But it was when I saw her practically collapse from lack of sleep that entire ordeal and was asleep on my couch...that was when I knew. June twenty-fifth, that was the day I knew I wanted to be with her. I just couldn’t possibly see her feeling the same way. But I wasn’t brave enough.
I mean, let’s think about it. She’s a beautiful, stunning, badass girl from a wrestling family with all sorts of tattoos, a heart of gold, and is the South Bay Champion. I’m an awkward, shy, can’t even speak to a room larger than five people, afraid of needles, only in this business because Betsy Granger used to drag me to wrestling shows where I’d watch Adrien Cochrane, Jaime Alejandro, and Heather Halliwell and I somehow ended up getting trained by that first name. What could she possibly see in me? Well...she saw something that I clearly don’t because five days later, after we...well, kissed on live television after that other thing I’m going to cover in a moment, we talked and became a couple. I finally had it in me to be brave.
So...Tasmin Richards is my girlfriend now. And honestly…
She’s changed my life. And in a different way...so did my ex-tag team partner.
If you click here, you can actually see my last blog post. It was a weird one for me because my tag team partner and non-biological brother, Remi Fontaine, had just defeated the girl I was dating at the time, Izzy Roxx, for the Long Beach title. It was hard, but I was proud of him. And I expressed my pride in him. Considering the circumstances, it was awkward for me. I mean, if there is anyone used to that, I guess it was me.
We were a damn good tag team, me and Remi, I mean. We fought together like brothers. We were in this together. The NGW Tag Team Trials were ours for the taking. For crying out loud, we actually beat Matthew Shields and Jack Tillman. Think about the championship history between those two competitors and they lost to a couple of young kids from the development territory.
The eventual winners of the whole tournament got us. They’re Hall of Famers. Legends, even. There was no shame in coming up short against them. Look at what they did to much more experienced teams than us.
Remi couldn’t handle that. He talks about the fact that he now was under the influence of this “Prince Sekhmet” and that he needed to attack me for my own good. Which makes me wonder...was this his plan all along? Every time we stepped into the ring together, was this something he was capable of doing to me this entire time? Was this an attack that could have happened any round of this tournament? If we lost to Matthew Shields and Jack Tillman, could I have been a victim of a three-on-one attack?
He says I’m weak. I won six matches in a row and did win the Long Beach Title before he did. I’ve actually had the advantage in the head-to-head standings. I was the one who helped him get as far into the Tag Team Trials as he did. He claims that my ties to Eddie, Tasmin, and Adrien have made me weak. Except...you know...Xaria Linette, J.D. Ryan, Wadjethotep…
Tasmin. She hated what you did to me, Remi. Or Sekhmet. I really don’t care what name you’re going by right now. She wanted to speak out about what you did. She called you a coward. Because you were acting like one. Perhaps YOU are the one that needs to be brave. And like a coward, you sneak attacked her. And also like a coward, you ran when I came to the ring to check on her. Then you started tweeting at her. Because, also like a coward, you decided to tweet about our relationship and didn’t want to tag either one of us in it. IF YOU WANT TO SAY SOMETHING, SAY IT TO US!!
Sorry...lost my cool a little bit. Keep in mind, I’m writing this literally minutes after I just went off on you on Twitter. But you keep using my relationship like it’s some sort of game to you and insult me because I’m actually in one. You’re a hypocrite. You’re also dating someone on this very roster. And you were mad when someone made their grudge against you into a game for him to use your boyfriend as a pawn. But then you turn around and do the same thing?! This makes no sense. None. Your battle is with me, and not Tasmin, just like you wanted Hunter to focus on you and not J.D.
When all of that was going on, I was there for you. You were there for me, yeah. But you can’t possibly just forget all of that happened just because it was convenient for you. You were my brother. You talk about wanting to “fix” me. Save me. Some drivel I expect from one of those nutcases with the cardboard sign that the end is near. Not you. Not my best friend not named Betsy.
The only person you should worry about fixing? Yourself.
Wildflower knew I wasn’t well
But on the kitchen floor, I got better again
I grabbed my keys and drove toward a star
And there, I was understood for the first time in my life
Cause that’s when I was introduced to true serendipity
I knew it when you showed up again
In the snow, I was always told
Your heart is where you’re home
And what I thought
In the coffee shop
Was like, the last eight hours was a dream
I drove away
With not much to say
But in my hand, I held a paper bird
And written on it were the words
Ok, I'll be brave
Ok, I'll be brave

And in my mind
After all this time
I think, ain't life beautiful and strange
I’m blown away
With no words to say
Cause I, I’ll forever be amazed
How I learned the meaning of the phrase
Be brave
Be brave
Brave
Be brave
