Overcoming the Odds
Date: October 1, 2017
Jazmyn Rain is in the vicinity of the Gateway Arch a few short hours before Dissension begins. Despite her history with the city as far as the ups and downs of her career are concerned, Jazmyn is feeling confident even knowing the odds that she is dealing with going into her huge four way tag team match. She’s relaxed and calm, knowing that no matter what, she’s never going to fall back to the dark places that she’s had to pull herself out of. Thinking about what she’s had to overcome to get to this point, the Charlotte native begins to speak.
Jazmyn Rain: Well, here I am again. St. Louis. Yeah, you all know my history with this town and how it’s not that great, but I don’t focus on that anymore. I’ve confronted that ghost of the past, dealt with it, learned from it, and grew even stronger than before. Was it easy? It most definitely was not, but at the end of the day, it was worth it and now I don’t associate the city of St. Louis as the location where I suffered the most heartbreaking loss I will likely ever suffer in my entire career, but now I associate it as the city where I began my journey of redemption to where I am today as a wrestler and an individual. I go into tonight’s match even MORE ready than before to fight. I am not afraid of being in this city anymore because I have forgiven myself for my own shortcomings when it came to that heartbreak in question that I mentioned. So, if Blade, Hixx, Jones, Miles, and the Seventh Circle thinks that they can put me back in that place that I was in, when this journey of mine started to begin with, then they are sorely mistaken. I can’t say for sure if they do, as what they’ve had to say about me so far is giving me no indication of anything one way or another, but then again, they haven’t talked about me too much…
Jazmyn pauses for a bit and delivers a bit of a pout before continuing to speak.
Jazmyn Rain: Yes, they’ve talked a little at length about Adrien, but let’s not forget that I’m in this match also, you know? Sorry, I don’t like the feeling of being overlooked and with all due respect to my opponents, I feel like I am being overlooked just a little bit. But from what I gather from what’s been said? The 7th Circle “hopes” that I realize that they are the most dangerous team in this match and you know what, they are going to get what they hope for because that’s precisely what they are. They’re unpredictable and you don’t know what they are capable of quite yet, but at the end of the day, just because you’re the most dangerous team in this match doesn’t mean you’re the BEST team in this match and as cut and dry as this may sound, the best team in this match will ultimately be the one that wins and I believe in my heart of hearts that Adrien and I are in fact, the best team in this match and we’re going to prove such tonight. Of course, I’m not particularly a big fan of them. It’s not their abilities, it’s their attitudes. They’d join the Destroyers?
Good to know.
Thanks for giving us even MORE motivation to beat you guys!
But see, the 7th Circle bases what they are about on two things: violence and hate! Don’t we have enough of that in the world? Trust me, violence and hate from someone is nothing new to me. I’ve survived Inferno matches, I Quit matches, among other hardcore stuff, so if they think they can just intimidate me with their little spiels about how they’re the most dangerous team in this match and how they would be willing to join the Destroyers, then they have a darn brutal reality check coming their way tonight. Violence and hate isn’t going to get anybody anywhere in the long run…
...trust me, I’ve been there.
Now, as far as the Miles and Jones team are concerned, at least Alex acknowledged me in a positive fashion and that’s great. Avery, I do admit that I am surprised by what he had to say about me. He sees it too, doesn’t he? Here I am, feeling overlooked and Avery is on the other end calling me the biggest sleeper in the match and making championship predictions about me. It surprises me because this is the same guy that wasn’t exactly the most sensitive in the world about my St. Louis story. I’m not saying he has to feel sorry for me, and I would prefer that he doesn’t. One has every reason to doubt his true intentions considering the hole that he had been in before and I know there’s a person or two out there that doubts how legit his path of redemption is. Well, I’ll say this much. Color me as someone giving him the benefit of the doubt when you consider how long I have been on my own redemption path that started right here in St. Louis. I do hope for the best for him and from him all in all. I hope he’s able to avoid anything that would put him back on that path that he was on, but regardless, I’m not fighting this match just to make a name for the Guardians, nor am I just fighting this match to show that Adrien and I can be an incredible team.
Yes, I am fighting for both of those things, but I am also fighting to REALLY make a name for myself. Beating Caroline was one thing, but I know I can raise the bar, something that winning this match would do. With as overlooked as I feel right now, I am looking to make an impression! I’m not going to be a ‘sleeper’ or overlooked for long. No, I’m going to make a statement alongside with Adrien, both a positive team one AND an individual one. Are the odds in our favor? No. Like I mentioned before: the 7th Circle is the most dangerous, and most experienced team. Miles and Jones at peak condition might be the two best wrestlers in the entire match and Blade and Hixx… well…
Jazmyn pauses for a couple of seconds.
Jazmyn Rain: They’re a team that will try to make their waves too!
Jazmyn chuckles for a few moments before she continues.
Jazmyn Rain: But at the end of the day, the odds have never broken me. Nobody thought I even had what it took to be a professional wrestler at all considering how old I was when I started. Nobody thought I would be able to pull myself out of rock bottom and even return to this business after a two year absence. Hardly anyone thought I’d ever be a world champion and I bet there weren’t many that thought I would ever recover from the heartbreak that I suffered in this city. And yet, I’ve overcome those odds… heck, I’ve even overcome death itself. Six other wrestlers in a tag team match? A lot of talent for sure, but knowing what I’ve overcome to get to this point is ultimately going to be the driving force that is going to lead Adrien and I to victory later tonight. Adrien and I are going to win. The last big match I fought in St. Louis, I never believed. I was too scared and too nervous. But now? I DO believe! With all due respect to my opponents, there is nothing any of them can do or say that could ever deny me what I want to achieve in NGW!
Tonight, not only do the Guardians show what they are all about, but I will prove why I shouldn’t be overlooked much longer. We will overcome the odds and we’ll prove why the Guardians aren’t just going to disappear into the night so quickly and easily!
Jazmyn remains confident as she smiles once more, driven and determined as usual to make things happen. She takes her leave from the scene, ready to head to the Scottrade Center and, alongside Adrien, give people in NGW something to truly remember on Dissension!
