Good Vibes Only
Date: August 12, 2017
Hours before Rise, Julianna Dimaria is alone in her hotel room, gathering her final thoughts before her latest WCG West Coast championship challenge against Ryan Keys. Of course, with the magnitude of her opportunity, she is definitely going to be taking it serious all the way through. She thinks about her journey of the Super Falcon Cup and thinks about how it has helped her get to this point that she’s at right now. Unlike Origins, where she wasn’t too sure about her chances despite the fact that she was publicly boastful about them, this time, she just has a very strong feeling about tonight. She is not feeling any anger toward Ryan Keys, for once. She’s focusing on the good vibes, and only the good vibes, as she begins to speak.
Julianna DiMaria: I am going to do something that I admit I don’t do very much of and that’s admit that I have had it wrong to some degree. No, I am not going to give Ryan Keys any god damn credit because anything out of his mouth is bullshit, but as I’ve thought about it for the last few months, I have to admit that I have let the guy trigger me way too much. I’ve been upset over every single thing that pertains to him. Whether it’s everyone lining up in the locker room to kiss his ass and talk about how “amazing” he is and how such a “great guy” he is, to the words he has said about me in the past, I have always allowed him to get the better of me as far as how I react to all of his nonsense. I’m a passionate girl, what can I say? I want to be the very best wrestler that I can be and I can’t be that without the WCG West Coast Championship. Knowing that Donovan Basch is waiting in the wings after winning a mini-tournament of sorts at the most recent road shows, I know for a damn fact that if I don’t win tonight, it’s definitely going to be the back of the line for me. This isn’t going to be like Hype #2 where I lost, yet was able to get one more chance by beating Ryan at a road show. No, this is definite, one way or another. I HAVE to win, there’s no denying that.
And I WILL win, mark my words! I am going to be the champion that West Coast Genesis needs to have. I’ve talked ad nauseum, again and again and again about how Ryan hasn’t been the best champion and I admit that his lack of promotion and everything that I have dinged him for has triggered me too. I HATE his “proving it in the ring” stance because this business is more than just about what happens in the ring. It’s also about how you conduct yourself and what you do when nobody’s watching. You want to know what Ryan Keys is doing when nobody’s watching? He’s probably too busy with whatever this “exhibitionist” thing is that he describes in his Twitter bio. He does that, and I put my heart and soul into this business every single time that I am out there. My experience in the Super Falcon Cup and in GOL has taught me so many things. It’s helped me realize that I’ve taken the wrong approach when it comes to dealing with Ryan Keys. The first time I faced him wasn’t the right approach because I went into that ladder match thinking that I had it in the bag, and yet, that was proven wrong when he took that championship from me by getting to it first. The second time, I went in there with nothing but anger, fury and hatred toward him because he brought out something in me I didn’t know I had and that’s not necessarily a good thing because he brought out my insecurities and my lack of self-confidence.
Needless to say, recent times like AFI and the Super Falcon Cup have given me much of that confidence and given me much to minimize those insecurities. I know now, that I can’t go into every match feeling burning, fiery hatred. I can’t go into tonight’s title match against Ryan Keys with the same hatred as before. I can’t be thinking about his lack of whatever the hell a true champion is supposed to do during his title reign. I can’t be thinking about the words he’s said about me before. I can’t go into this match focusing on my hatred of him and why I hate him. In other words, I need to take every bit of bullshit that allows him to trigger me and I need to toss it all aside. I need to focus inward, that’s what I need to do. I need to think about every step of my journey just to get to this point and focus on the positives. Am I a better wrestler now than when I first joined WCG? You bet your ass that I am. I wouldn’t have advanced as far as I did in those two tournaments if I wasn’t. Can I beat Ryan Keys? I did it on the road show and that’s how I ultimately got this title shot, so the answer is definitely yes. Am I stringing together a consistent amount of wins? Now I am starting to. I’m beginning to hit my stride, I think. I couldn’t buy a win for a while in WCG, but I stuck with it and now I’m on the cusp of becoming West Coast Champion.
I look inward, I know I am better than each and every one of them: Ryan, Ruby, Donovan, Danni, Austin, every single member of that Glee Club in WCG that I admit, I was allowing them to annoy me too much as well. Not anymore. They can all do whatever they want. They can step up to me, they can keep being cowards, it doesn’t matter. I can’t focus on what other people are doing. I can only focus on me and the wrestler that I have become in such a short amount of time. This time, I am feeling very confident about becoming the West Coast Champion. It’s been a trying road, tougher than I initially thought I would be, but it has humbled me, to a degree, and has made me a better and smarter wrestler. Ryan Keys doesn’t know what it’s like to go up against that. Until tonight, he hadn’t faced me at my very best but tonight, he will and tonight, I will stand tall, AT LAST, above him as the WCG West Coast Champion. What was supposed to be the origins of my world three months ago instead gives way to the RISE of the DiMaria DYNASTY tonight. The bottom line is, I didn’t come this far to lose. I didn’t grow and prosper in AFI and the Super Falcon Cup only to come back here and lose to Ryan again. I put in that work and that passion that Ryan has refused to do as West Coast champion and I’ve become a more complete wrestler as a result of it all.
Tonight?
My rewards come done!
Tonight?
You all witness the RISE of Julianna DiMaria as a West Coast Champion you can all look too as an example for how to be a REAL champion in this company.
And tonight?
Ryan Keys…
You’re going to experience the fall for your god-forsaken, championship reign and the destruction of your own pride when you, just like the others in WCG, become the subjects in the new world I am about to make my own when I defeat you tonight!
Julianna has a confident smile on her face, feeling quite strong about her chances of victory. Knowing she’s got him beat, Julianna stands up from where she’s seated and she walks over to the camera to shut it off. Inside, she’s feeling amazing, letting Ryan and the whole world know that Ryan Keys is no longer in her head and with that fact being known, she’s more confident than ever before that at Rise on this night, she is FINALLY going to become the WCG West Coast Champion!
