Strength in Solitude
Date: July 1, 2017
Julianna DiMaria is now in Bakersfield mentally preparing for her match on Hype tonight against Venus of the Messiahs. She sits down on a bench overlooking a walkway in the city itself as she takes in the calm, relaxed environment. However, Julianna herself is anything but calm and relaxed. She’s still very much thinking about her stroke of unfortunate recent luck as far as WCG is concerned and she feels that pressure on her shoulders knowing she HAS to win if she wants to build some much needed momentum going into Rise. She takes a deep breath to try to relieve that tension, especially knowing now that the camera is on and that it’s rolling. She takes a moment to straighten her hair through her fingers before she begins to express some final thoughts going into her match against Venus.
Julianna DiMaria: I don’t understand what goes through the heads of some people in West Coast Genesis. I mean, seriously! I see all these talks about parties on Twitter, I hear some locker room chatters about people getting together and having beach parties, just having fun and living a carefree lifestyle almost as if they are taking WCG and this business for granted. It makes me SICK! It honestly does! How can you people live with yourselves? You’re all professional wrestlers! Can you at least act like it? Can you all at least take this thing a little more seriously? I know that WCG isn’t quite the big stage yet, but JEEZ, you’re all far too lighthearted for your own good. Now sure, when they step in that ring, they do give it their all and I am going to give my peers that much but the way my parents brought me up in this business is damn simple! There is no “on-off” switch when it comes to this business. You need to be “on” every waking moment. You need to focus. You need to breathe, sleep and eat this business if you want to be successful and I know that it’s not a guarantee, per say. I mean, neither of my parents achieved success on the American mainstream stage, but I look at a roster that I am going to reign over one day as the WCG West Coast Champion and I am incredibly disappointed by the lack of fervor most of you have, at least compared to me. It’s like there’s so many people being sidetracked by the littlest thing in the world. Everyone’s joining together, making friends and forming clique after clique.
Guess what?
I REFUSE to be on the bandwagon!
I said it before and I will say it again: I came to WCG to be a dominant competitor. I came here to make an impact. I came here to be a champion. I didn’t come here to go to every beach party in the state of California and hang out with friends! I didn’t come here to MAKE friends. Sure, there is the occasional person that I like but at the end of the day, we’re acquaintances really. Nothing against the likes of Jess Hardy or Scotty Latimer, let me make that clear. But I deal with people like Austin Blackwell getting on my case for some of my strong opinions which, that doesn’t bother me. I wish more of you would even DARE to stand up to me the way Austin did the other night on social media, but still. He thinks I’m wrong for choosing to go at it alone? He thinks I’m wrong for choosing to dismiss the concept of “friendship” in this business? What? Is WCG the “My Little Pony” show? FRIENDSHIP IS MAGIC, say the morons that plague this locker room! The saying is ‘strength in numbers’, but no, that’s a misconception and when it comes to this business, it’s really ‘WEAKNESS IN NUMBERS”. The logic is that the more the merrier but honestly, it’s a load of crap. Let me tell everyone the truth about why all these cliques are forming. It’s because you’re all afraid. You fear trying to make it alone in a business that is ‘all-for-one’. So, you all form your Scooby Gangs and your GLEE clubs and act like everything is going to be okay. It’s not. I’m the one that is strong enough to go at it alone. I am the one openly dismissing the concept of having back up. I’m the one that is talking about winning and dominating on my OWN! I don’t need minions to make my message clear.
I can’t say the same though, about the Messiahs, who are the epitome of everything I just ranted about.
You all have adopted your ‘strength in numbers’ mantra, but the fact of the matter is, if you three were all solo competitors, I doubt you would make a dent and that especially holds true for Venus. Venus, you’ve got a whole life of being alone, don’t you? Did your parents ever care for you? Did you ever grow up with any friends? I don’t know every page and chapter in your life story but what I do know about it is that for practically all of your life, you were a loner that was doing whatever it took to merely survive and you know what, I can admire a person like that because being alone isn’t easy. I know from experience. I could have easily accepted the offer from your boys to join them and run roughshod over WCG like nobody’s business but for one, I think their ideology is full of shit and two, why? Why should I have an army? Why should I have friends? Minions? Comrades? Allies? Why? You see Venus, if I decided to join them, then what becomes of my legacy? People aren’t going to respect me as West Coast Champion if I have the backup in your boys. People in WCG are just going to criticize me saying “Oh she’s only West Coast Champion because of the Messiahs”. I CAN’T have that, Venus. I HAVE to go at it alone. I HAVE to beat Ryan Keys alone at Rise to become the WCG West Coast Champion. For my stardom and my legacy, I HAVE to do it because I want the entire roster to look at me and respect me for what I am going to be. I need to have every single person in that locker room, including you, look up to me and go “DAMN! THERE’S a champion to represent us” because as I’ve ranted and raved about tons of times, that champion is NOT Ryan Keys!
I made that decision to decline their offer with the strength that I know I have within myself. But you? Oh no! You caved in. You were just fine on your own. Maybe your life hasn’t been the greatest but with all your rough experiences and with much of the pain that you have suffered throughout your life, you could have taken that pain, confronted your demons and you could have overcome them and USED said pain in order to be a better and a stronger person in the long run, ON YOUR OWN, and you would have found your purpose not just in this business, but in this life as well. You don’t think I know what that pain feels like, Venus? Because I do. I was fortunate enough to have two of the most loving parents in the world. However, that love was always in the form of tough love. We don’t have that tight-knit bond that every child dreams of having with their parents. The bond I had with my parents was “Do this, Julianna”, “Do that, Julianna”. Their way of bonding with me was teaching me and there were times where I felt like they wanted to be more of my teachers than they ever wanted to be my parents. But, you don’t see me decorating myself with a bunch of ugly, disgusting tattoos and jumping on a bandwagon with no wheels, do you? No! I will tell you this, in high school, I made that mistake. I joined the in crowd! Peer pressure. Real bitch right? I made my effort to make friends. I made my effort to buy into the “strength in numbers” myth and you know what those “friends” did when they found out that I was training to become a professional wrestler?
They dumped me!
And then, from that point until our graduation, they taunted me, they bullied me, they cast me as an outsider and going through that experience hurt like hell and from that point on, I decided that trying to have a bunch of friends wasn’t worth it. I paid the price for jumping on a bandwagon just like you will tonight. I learned my lesson the hard way, Venus and I hope someday you do too because the Messiahs? That’s not going to be your future. It shouldn’t be. You weakling! You caved in and allowed those bastards to influence you just like I could have done. Again, I understand the temptation, especially when you’re dealing with pain and anguish inside of your head. Losing at Origins in that ladder match stung me, but I figured that it was just a minor setback. When I saw that I was going to get another chance, I figured things weren’t that big of a deal. I was able to stay calm and keep pushing and then I fell short again. THAT, Venus, was painful. I’m not going to blame your boys for wanting to recruit me for their pathetic cause right then and there because if there was ever a point where I could have come the closest to joining them, that would have been it. If I sat here and told you that I denied it with a straight face, I’d be lying to myself because I know that’s not true. I DID think about it. I DID consider it. I came pretty close to saying “fuck it” and jumping on board because I felt desperate enough to get that title but then on the roadshow, you know, the tournament for a Rags to Riches spot at Redemption’s big WrestleForce show, I got to face Ryan again in the second round and I BEAT HIM and when that happened, THAT was my turning point. That was all I needed to know to prove to myself that I am capable of living up to my dynastic potential.
Once it was announced I’d have one more shot at Rise, I knew right then and there that I don’t need numbers, or allies, or friends in order to get ahead. I stayed strong and hung in there until my turning point and girl to girl, it’s a damn shame that you were incapable of doing the same thing and tonight, I’m going to beat that lesson into you. Very little disgusts me more than a woman that surrenders her own influence and will to the opposite gender like a weakling little bitch and to me, that’s what you are, Venus. A scared, lost, IDIOTIC little girl who wasn’t strong enough to keep pushing on her own and instead leaned on a couple of cultists so she could have shoulders to cry on. You have numbers behind you, I don’t. That should give you an advantage right? NO! That’s not going to happen! You’re not going to be bailed out by the 7th circle like your boys were. You are the first step in attaining my dominance. I’m DONE losing matches I shouldn’t be losing around here. I’m DONE letting my “youth and inexperience” hinder me. I am coming for the crown and once I attain it, I am going to have a stranglehold on it for as long as I want and when that happens, I am going to prove to this locker room that the saying shouldn’t be “strength in numbers”. No, the saying should be…
“Strength in Solitude”
You’re facing a self-made superstar in the making, Venus. Time for you to learn a valuable lesson!
