“Reset Button”
Date: October 29, 2017
Now in Chicago, Jazmyn Rain is in much better spirits now. Time and perspective has definitely helped her as she’s glowing with her familiar positivity and happiness. The Charlotte native is currently surrounded by an aura of confidence, having been able to fully take a breather from the NGW scene for a while to find herself again and to put the events in San Francisco behind her. Though, she knows she can’t just rest on her laurels. She knows that ruby Lance isn’t going to be someone that’s going to go away no matter how hard she may try. Putting her final thoughts in order, Jazmyn takes a deep breath before she expresses some final thoughts about her upcoming match later tonight.
Jazmyn Rain: The last time I spoke, I mentioned how Ruby Lance was going to be the perfect test for me because of all the noise and the hype that surrounds her. Well, the question then became how I was going to deal with that. Sure, I mentioned shutting off the noise and focusing only on what I needed to do, but how, exactly, do I do that? Well, I figured out the answer and I promise you, it’s one heck of an answer. So, I’ll give the answer directly to ALL of the critics from Richard Kelly to Julianna DiMaria and the Destroyers. I want every single critic of mine, those that are telling me that I’m not going to succeed in NGW and using my first five matches and the events of San Francisco against me, to take my loss against Goldstein in my hometown debut match, take that Caroline loss to Hixx, take that moment Jack Tillman decided to assault me and basically hijack MY opportunity, take that moment that the Destroyers got involved in my four way tag match and practically cost Adrien Cochrane and I, take every single criticism you have of me, relish it, enjoy it, drink it like fine wine, rip it up like a bag of potato chips because this moment is the FINAL TIME you are going to get to indulge and bask in ALL OF IT at my expense.
Done yet?
Still waiting…
Yeah, you’re done basking.
Essentially, when it all comes down to it, my match against Ruby Lance carries one significant meaning when it’s all said and done. I’m starting over. No, that doesn’t mean I am going to discount everything that has happened to me in NGW so far. What I mean is that I am going to take this match and I am going to treat this as a new beginning. I’m pressing that proverbial reset button and everything that was bothering me before from my shortcomings to my frustrations and everything in between has officially been put in the rear view mirror. In some respects, it’s sort of like I am doing my NGW debut all over again. I’m not going to wait for my break anymore. I’m going to make my own breaks. The Jazmyn Rain from before, the one that was being so doubtful, so jittery, so nervous… I realized with help from some great friends of mine in both NGW and GCW both that I’ve had my moments, but I have rarely carried my familiar GCW confidence into NGW. I’m not going to sit here and speculate on the triggers that caused that. Maybe that’s why I lost in my hometown, but I’m not going to harp on it. But I do admit that when I first came here, I got so nervous and worried about, well… everything under the sun.
I was worried about how the locker room was going to perceive me, partially because well, in GCW, that locker room is a Jekyll and Hyde type of locker room. My friends and I love each other to death and my enemies wish I would just not exist anymore. I was nervous about how I would hang in a different company facing different competition. I was worried so much about THAT kind of noise and I will even admit it was starting to bother me to the point where I was doubting myself and where I was becoming something that, to be frank, wasn’t me. But, the great news is that I’ve pulled myself together and I am NOT going to be that “scared, nervous, jittery” woman anymore. Ruby, nothing personal, all business, you ARE going to be the start. By beating you, I am going to show the audience and the locker room of NGW that I am ready to take that brass ring, I’m ready to stop being nervous and jittery, and that I’m ready to get back on that horse and start over again, putting the obstacles that I’ve had to deal with and my own doubts off to the side.
I know you’ve had to deal with “noise” of your own, Ruby, from so many people in WCG. And hell, we can even relate on the double duty thing since you’re still in WCG for the time being and I’m in GCW myself, having just wrestled yesterday, just like you when you were able to pull through and defeat Izzy Rocks at Hype in Cali last night to remain the South Bay Champion. You might even remind me a little of myself when I was nineteen. I get all the hype about your big debut tonight. Your boyfriend can’t stop shoving it down everyone’s throats as if it was the biggest debut in NGW history. Fine, he can do what he wants. Like I said before, I know that’s not your doing, but that’s EXACTLY the kind of noise that I am shutting out of my head to defeat you. I NEED this, Runy. You have no idea how much I do need this win tonight. I’m not putting pressure on myself, not as much anyway, but with this fresh beginning, there’s no way I am walking out of here with anything less than a win. I can’t afford to. You’re young, I get it. But with youth comes naivety. You could very well be walking into this match tonight, with some of the success in WCG giving you MUCH confidence, undoubtedly, and you might walk in thinking that you can do anything.
Well…
I hate to say it but…
That’s a bubble I plan on busting tonight. You’ve come a long way in such a short amount of time and I can respect and appreciate that, but being so young, you have never had to endure nearly the amount of adversities and experiences that I have had to deal with, especially over the last few years, particularly the last two and a half from the moment I returned to this business. You don’t know the pain of losing a championship that meant so much to you and I know how much of your heart and soul you put into that South Bay Championship. You’re not holding it forever, and I’m pretty sure you’ve accepted the fact, but you’re not going to know the painful experience of what losing something meaning so much to you feels like until the very moment that you DO lose that title. From me, you are going to get an honest, honorable and respectable fight, that much I can promise you now, but I am not going to be someone that wears the kid gloves. While I’m doing all that, I am going to break you into some of the harsh realities of this business you have yet to even experience, yet alone realize that exist.
You’re going to experience how tough it really is up here, simple as that.
It’s the nature of the beast, I’m afraid and while I know I can take on that beast, you? I’m not so sure about. Yes, you have tremendous talent and you could very well be a star in the making for a good long while to come, but I have seen what you can do in that WCG ring. I have heard some of the words you’ve had to say and I KNOW you have become frustrated at some point about having to fight your friends with your South Bay Championship at stake and you’re not the biggest fan of having to do so. Sorry Ruby, that’s how it goes. You think I like the fact that I’ve got to start over and start showing NGW what a truly confident, fully positive Jazmyn Rain can do at your expense? I don’t like it a bit. I wish you weren’t my first opponent on this rejuvenation of mine, but that’s the way the dominoes fell and I am going to have to make the best of it. That being said, I know that I am more willing to go that extra mile and starting with you, that’s exactly what I am going to do!
Tonight, I hit that reset button and begin from square one. I go back to basics. I carry over that GCW confidence to NGW and shut out every single noise that I have allowed to bring me down regarding NGW for a little too long now. I expect that you bring your best to the table, because I’m going to bring mine and then some. When I step into that ring against you, the locker room is going to get a real glimpse of what I can do when all cylinders are running strong. The time has come for me to put all the negative behind me, overcome it, and start showing how I can be that Five Lakes champion NGW and their fans can be proud of and deserve to have. Beating the WCG South Bay Champion?
It’s a start… but JUST the start! When it’s all said and done, Ruby, tonight is all about business. Tonight? Sure, it can definitely be about honor and respect as well. But at the end of the night, sorry girl, when that dust settles they are going to be talking about how I beat the WCG South Bay Champion in her big NGW debut match to reboot her journey up the ladder to the NGW Five Lakes Championship in a much more positive way than she started that journey in the first place.
Tonight, you’re going to deal with me at my most passionate and most motivated and I promise you… when I’m at the point I am right now, I’m even tougher to beat. Best of luck to you Ruby, tonight, and going forward, but tonight? It’s the Guardian Angel soaring to higher skies and stealing the show!
