“Fearless”
Date: August 20, 2017
Jazmyn Rain is sitting down in her hotel room just hours before she’s set to head to the arena for the latest episode of Glory in Louisville, Kentucky. She’s not as nervous as she was the last time she made an on-camera promo about her match with Caroline O’Hara Burchill. In fact, you can say that her mood is more or less that of a quiet, cautious confidence. She’s not showing any recent wear and tear from her recent GCW adventures or at the very least, her body language is doing everything it takes for her not to show it. Cracking a confident smile, the Charlotte native takes a calm breath and begins to speak her mind.
Jazmyn Rain: I’ve been preaching about adversity and all the ways it makes you and breaks you and when it comes to my opponent, Caroline O’Hara Burchill, I have to wonder how she’s going to handle the adversity that she dealt with when Jew Blazer took the New Generation Championship from her. Is she going to come back stronger and want to essentially kill me just to send Blazer a message? I don’t doubt that she will and maybe that’s why I was a little bit nervous coming into this match earlier in the week but if that’s what she is planning on doing, there is one thing that needs to be made incredibly clear. I am NOT, under any circumstance, a stepping stone for ANYONE. If anyone in this business wants to use me to send a message to another wrestler, then I am not going to like that person because the notion of that sickens me. If Caroline sees me as a mere stepping stone to Blazer, then I am going to make her pay for that because I am not the kind of woman that is going to allow myself to be disrespected in such a derogatory fashion. Yes, I know, it’s a bit of a strong rhetoric to make but at the same time, I know what I am capable of. I am not going into this match with any fear whatsoever of Caroline just because she’s done what she’s done and just because she might come out looking to kill me just to send a message to the world. No, I am nobody’s “message bitch”, pardon my language.
Of course, there’s also a possibility that she comes out with a different attitude: the OPPOSITE attitude, then I am not going to buy it. Ego is a tough thing in this business. A loss like what Caroline suffered and the adversity that she now has to face as a result of that can either boost her fire and make her come out swinging or it can destroy her to the point where she’s feeling like a miserable human being because her entire world came crashing down. Now, after losing my sole World Championship in my career the way I did, I experienced the latter and it wasn’t fun. Like I said before, I can’t have any sympathy for Caroline because of the way she has chosen to carry herself, but that doesn’t mean I don’t know what she could or could not be feeling right about now. If she comes to Glory with a defeated attitude and with a destroyed ego, then it’s going to be a long night for her. I am not going to hold back. There’s no way I could. This is a wrestling match where I have to give it my very best and I can’t control how she comes at me in this match. I can’t control whether she even wants to deal with me or anything she says about me or the effort she puts into our match. I can only control what I can control and that’s giving my very best against one of the most wicked, vile people in Redemption Wrestling.
Even if she IS going through a crisis of faith, that’s not going to change who she is and I need to be careful with that sort of thing because that can very well be a trap to sucker me in and catch me off guard and I can’t have that.
I WON’T have that and no matter what she has to say about me, one match between us isn’t going to take away all of the adversity that I’ve had to overcome to get to this point. Considering the way people like her tend to act when things don’t go her way, I know deep down I am better at fighting adversity than she is. And believe me, I’ve heard the very brief words she’s had to say. She talks about her shattered ego and she talks about how everyone is celebrating the fact that her championship reign is over. While I never thought she was good for the New Generation division as its champion, from an attitude standpoint, I wasn’t celebrating when Jew Blazer did what he did to her. It would be beyond petty of me to do so and I am definitely not buying her little “pity party” she wanted to throw herself because god knows if it’s legitimate or if she’s trying to lure me in. She’s someone that I wouldn’t trust with my life. Lost in that mini-promo of hers is the fact that she didn’t even bother to mention me, not even once3. No, I’m not going to raise a big fuss about it. I don’t even feel disrespected. In fact, this is what you can expect from someone just like her considering that they live in their own little bubble that they have little to no knowledge of the world that surrounds them.
She says that everything she’s ever worked for is now “nothingness”...
She says that she’s “nothing”.
She says that she’s the laughingstock. I don’t remember anyone laughing and I sure as hell never laughed at her plight. Like I said before, I feel a lot of empathy for her considering I’ve been there before, but no sympathy from me.
She talks about how she has no worth or merit. I have NO idea what she’s trying to get at, if she REALLY feels that way or if this is all just some kind of game she’s trying to play with everyone.
I can buy that it’s gotten to her. It’s natural in this business. But everything else? Please! She’s smarter than that. Caroline O’Hara Burchill despite how many may feel about her is no laughingstock and she’s definitely not “nothing”. She’s a hugely tough challenge for me at this early stage of my Redemption Wrestling career. She’s the biggest adversity I’ve faced to date in just my third match here. If she wants to put herself down and make it seem like she’s so broken that she’s truly nothing, then more power to her but that’s not going to change how I approach this match. I have grown into a fearless competitor that is willing to take on and overcome any challenge that is thrown at me and Caroline is going to be extremely tough, as I’ve stated over and over again, but there’s nothing she can do to me that’s going to linger for very long. The worst she can do is beat me in one match. One match doesn’t define an entire career in most cases. We both lost to the Jew Blazer recently and in my case, I turned out just fine. It’s going to take me a little while to really get a feel for things in a Redemption ring, yes, and facing Caroline, my biggest adversity so far, is going to really bring me closer to get to that feel regardless of whether I win or lose this thing. But there are two things that I can tell you all for sure here in Redemption wrestling….
It’s only a matter of time before I DO get that feel for things in a Redemption ring and I’m able to adjust to the tough new competition that I have to step in that ring with in this company time and time again…
And when I DO make that adjustment and get that feel for things… I WILL become a champion that this company can be proud of knowing that I had to take on and bring down a lot of evils in this company that dared wanted to rule the roost as the tyrants that they have shown they can be. THAT is my reward for this early adversity that I am going to be facing as I get used to the way things are in this company against some of the best competition the world can offer. I know I am more than good enough to beat Caroline and overcome said early adversity and deep in my heart of hearts, I believe that I WILL pull things off. Maybe it’ll shock people considering my relative newness to this company, but it wouldn’t be the first time I’ve surprised anyone. I’m bringing my best, I’m EXPECTING Caroline’s best and when it’s all said and done, this match will go down as one of my bigger learning experiences win or lose because this is one of those matches that is going to turn me into a champion here in Redemption Wrestling!
No fear for any adversity that steps in front of me.
That’s how this Guardian Angel spreads her wings!
