“Foresight”
Date: September 14, 2017
Jazmyn Rain is in Las Vegas, Nevada taking a breather from the grind of her career. Despite the grind she is experiencing, she’s in bright spirits. Wearing a small, purple dress with the Louboutins to match, the glowing Charlotte native stands in a balcony that overlooks some of the city. The sun is bright and it is out in full force which just adds to the light atmosphere that Jazmyn finds herself in. Jazmyn’s great mood isn’t without reason. After all, in Redemption Wrestling she is just coming off of a huge win over former New Generation Champion Caroline O’Hara Burchill and that win, along with the happenings in the New Generation division in general, is what is lightly weighing on her mind. With Convergence being a few days away, the Guardian Angel knows that she’s merely an outsider looking in on the division proceedings and she has to stay focused on the task that’s in front of her… a task in which… she’s about to address.
Jazmyn Rain: I have to admit, when I first found out I was facing Caroline O’Hara Burchill on the last Glory, I was pretty nervous. That’s not much of a secret of course, but I am one of the very few that can say she was thrown into the fire coming in facing the current New Generation champion and the former New Generation Champion in two out of her first three matches. I try to be as confident as I can, not just for myself, but for everyone that’s behind me and for the first time, I will admit that my debut did shake my confidence slightly. Fortunately, I am a strong person and I wasn’t beating myself up for losing in my hometown debut, but I knew that I had to win that match against Caroline. There was some extra pressure on me but as time drew closer to that match, I came to realize that the pressure wasn’t on me. The pressure was on her. When she came out and talked about herself the way she did, whether it was her real feelings or a trap to lure me in, I knew I had it won before I even stepped into the ring with her because I knew that somewhere in there, she was doubting herself and sure enough, when we fought at the last Glory, she kept getting angrier and angrier at the fact that she couldn’t put me away so easily as she figured she would. My confidence grew with every second and ultimately, it led me to my biggest Redemption win so far and there’s no doubt in my mind that I have instantly solidified myself as a New Generation Championship contender.
Although, I’m NOT fighting for that title at Convergence. The picture was already set in stone. Caroline was owed her rematch and it was Jack Tillman and Trixie that had a chance to qualify for a New Generation title shot, which they did and great for them but there’s that piece of me inside that feels like I earned a shot also with my win over Caroline. Alas, I can’t focus too much on that. As far as the picture there goes, I have to wait and see how that plays out. That division could use some saving, after all. If Caroline regains the title, or if Tillman wins it, that’s bad news. If Jew Blazer retains, I have mixed feelings on that considering how he won the title to begin with. Trixie? Well, that would light more of a fire in me but even I have to admit that maybe her winning the title would be the best case scenario. But again, what happens there is out of my control. I just know deep down that whomever comes out of Convergence with the New Generation Championship WILL have to deal with me at some point down the line because that win over Caroline gave me SO MUCH confidence in myself and my viability as a championship contender here in Redemption Wrestling and trust me when I say that there’s still plenty more where that came from and at Convergence, I am going to illustrate that very fact.
Granted, it won’t be in a championship match, it’ll be against DeSean Walker. Now, I don’t know much about you DeSean, only what I’ve heard about you. You’re not only new to this company, but you’re a fresher face in this business and that brings back some memories of when I first broke into professional wrestling. Damn, I remember how so little people took me seriously. Whether because I was 25 when I first started training, whether I was admittedly immature for my age or whether I was just seen as the “pretty face” that belonged on a magazine cover and not a wrestling ring is unclear, but I took some lumps physically and psychologically at first. Being treated like an afterthought and someone who had nothing to make it in this business was hurtful, I’ll tell you that but I was able to break through it and I vowed that I would never treat anyone with the experience that I had then, and that you have now, the same way that I was treated. I’m not going to make the same mistake that Caroline made against me. She’ll never admit it, but when she faced me in that ring, she thought I wasn’t worth her time. She never outright said it, but you could tell with her attitude and her body language going into that night that she wasn’t taking me seriously enough. And then what happened? As I mentioned, she got frustrated when she found out I wasn’t easy. Why would I make that same mistake against you? I’ve got too much respect for this business to treat you that way.
But that’s not the only similarity we have, DeSean. Consider this. Like me, you were also introduced to Redemption Wrestling via a trial by fire against Anton Chase and like me, you also lost. Of course, that’s nothing to be ashamed of. You flashed so much of your potential during that match and Anton Chase is far from a slouch as far as this roster and this business goes. But now comes the question of how you’re going to respond to that. It’s fair to say that I’m also someone that’s a “trial by fire”. I know I haven’t been here long and neither have you, but in my second trial by fire, I succeeded and now I’m carrying some massive momentum going into our match and going forward. This is your chance to come into Convergence and to take that momentum from me. From a talent perspective, you’re very much capable. This match is a case of role reversal, in a way. I’m the one in the role of Caroline… minus all of her pretentious, disgraceful characteristics of course… and you’re in my role now but the reason why you won’t win? It’s not just momentum, or ability, it’s passion and how much you want this. Yes, you put on a great performance against Anton Chase, but Anton beat you because he wanted it more. That’s one of the reasons why I am confident that Convergence will be no different from you. I know what my goals are, DeSean. I want to protect this company from evils like the Destroyers and I want to become New Generation Champion. But what about you?
What are YOUR goals? Do you even KNOW what you want to accomplish here? You certainly haven’t said much of them. You didn’t even say a word on-camera about your match against Anton. You made some social media comments about it, but you’ve been ghost ever since. Maybe you’ve been preparing in silence, but that’s fine but a wrestler like you, who the people barely know anything about to begin with, can’t afford to be silent. You know just as well as I do that a good part of this business is putting yourself out there. It won’t win you matches, but it will get the people behind you. You did say that you wanted to be recognized as one of the best in Redemption wrestling and there’s not a damn thing wrong with that. Matches like what we’re going to have at Convergence is what will take you to where you want to be and I do think that with the time and dedication that you’re capable of putting into this, you ARE going to get there but I’m sorry, I’m not going to let it happen at my expense, especially when my momentum and my confidence are where they are. With all due respect, I’m not going to Convergence to have my momentum from my win over Caroline taken from me especially without a fight. There’s so much more to professional wrestling than wanting to be recognized as one of the best and that’s a lesson you are going to have to learn if you want to make it in this business. I learned that lesson the hard way last year. I don’t want to be a champion to be recognized as one of the best, I want to be a champion to be an inspiration to others who have been and are in the same situation I was at before I became a professional wrestler.
But all in all? I am not looking to hurt you. I am not looking to break you down, and I am definitely not looking to break your spirit or anything like that. For me, this match is one part a teaching experience and another part a statement in waiting. In order to be a champion in this business, you have to learn how to beat anyone on any given night regardless of who they are, where they’ve been or the experience that they bring to the table. This is my chance to make my statement to the New Generation division that I’ll be waiting for whomever comes out of that fatal four way at Convergence as the champion and I’m sorry that has to come at your expense, DeSean, as you seem like a good guy, but that’s the way it is in this business at the end of the day. Maybe I can teach you a couple of things in there, based off of my own experiences over my six year long mainstream wrestling career. Either way, I hope you take something positive out of this match regardless of what the result may be. But, in due time, I’m coming out of Convergence with my win, and my statement: that Jazmyn Rain is ready to be a New Generation Champion Redemption Wrestling has every reason to be proud of!
Jazmyn takes a deep, confident breath before she overlooks much of Las Vegas one last time. She expresses a small smile for a brief moment before she leaves the balcony and walks inside her sixth-floor hotel room to enjoy some of her downtime from the wrestling grind.
