“Undeterred”
Date: January 7, 2018
A few short hours before Homecoming, Jazmyn Rain is sitting alone, shaking her head. This is an indication that she had heard what Jack Tillman and Chris Constantine had to say about her not too long before the camera was turned on. A pout forms on her face, not of sadness or even anger, but of pity. It’s almost as if the Charlotte native can’t believe that she head what she heard. But aside from this pout, which only lasted a few seconds, there’s no negative reaction otherwise. Jazmyn sighs, as she typically does when she hears words like what she heard not too long ago, and she gathers her thoughts in her head before she begins to speak her mind again.
Jazmyn Rain: Well, just as I predicted, Jack and Chris were going to be HARSH critics and boy, was I right! Sadly, this is one of those things I wish I wasn’t right about. But, no need to worry. I’m okay. I knew I had a hard shot coming at me and it was hard, but the thing of it is, it wasn’t as hard as I expected it to be and I find myself in the leading hours up to Homecoming completely undeterred my by my latest ordeal with an old friend of mine called “criticism”. At the end of the day, they said what they had to say and I listened as closely as I could possibly listen and you know what? Their words aren’t all that unfamiliar. Albeit, there are a few new wrinkles to an old blanket, but it’s nothing that’s going to hurt me or bring me down. In other words, when it all comes down two it? Jack Tillman and Chris Constantine?
Just two more critics that don’t think that I deserve to be where I am today. Where to start? Hell, you all take your pick. There’s a dinner table full of food to choose from if you know what I mean. But for me, personally, I am going to begin at the part where they ASSUME that I am someone that is more about the interview than I am about the training and the wrestling. Why? Because I am not one of those people that spams Twitter with gym selfies? Is that it? Do I need to have a Jazmyn Rain 24/7 Cable Channel to prove that I put my heart and soul into this business? Is that it? Yeah, great assumption there. Let me break it down like this. You two don’t know me. You are judging me based on what you’ve seen which, you know, nothing new of course, you two aren’t the first nor will you be the last to make such a mistake, but believe me, I busted my ass to get to where I am today. I didn’t get into this business by taking shortcuts. I got into this business by enduring the travails of training, with an abusive trainer that thought I was never going to amount to anything and yet, I stuck to it and eventually proved him wrong. You two didn’t see ONE SECOND of my 20 month journey to be the GCW Global champion again after it was robbed from me in March of 2016. You weren’t there when I had a three minute skirmish with death and WON. You weren’t there when I trained and prepared for every single match I fought between my two Global title reigns every step of the way.
You don’t think I’m someone that takes my craft seriously?
Jazmyn pauses and shakes her head.
Jazmyn Rain: This business is my PURPOSE and my destiny within this business is to inspire people just like me that had to go from the gutter to the top of the ladder. I wasn’t ANYTHING as a person before I became a wrestler. I was more or less rotting away being a party groupie and little more than that before I became a wrestler. And to go from that, to what I am NOW? Come on! Get over yourselves and have some common sense here. I didn’t get to this point by “slumming it” and half-assing my training. Of course, that’s one of the many ASSUMPTIONS that I had to deal with listening to what you two had to say. I KNEW you would say that you don’t see me as a wrestler. But to say that I make a mockery of this industry? Ask any one of the Guardians. They’ll tell you otherwise. Going from the brink of death to being a Global champion again is a mockery? No, you idiots. I’ll tell you what really makes a mockery out of this business: when people Jack Tillman never, EVER accept defeat and dismiss every single loss as “a fluke”. Joshua Goldstein beat you TWICE. That’s no fluke. You LOST!
Jack Tillman LOST fair and square. If it happens twice, is it a fluke? NO!
Yet dismissing it so nonchalantly and acting like it never happened IS a mockery of this industry. You want to know what ELSE is a mockery of this industry? What you did to me at the C2 Con, Jack. You weren’t even supposed to be part of that Five Lakes picture that night and yet you forced yourself in at MY expense. But hey, let me ask you a question about that. Why did it have to be me? If I’m so beneath Jack as a professional wrestler, if I am not a “real wrestler” why couldn’t Jack have assaulted TRIXIE instead? I’ll tell you why, and you two sons of bitches have your egos shoved so far up your ass that you’ll never admit what I’m about to say… but SOMEWHERE in the empty pits you call your souls, you realized I was the bigger threat to Jack. I proved it at Resurgence when I finally had my one on one match with Trixie and beat her. Somewhere in there, Jack Tillman worries about Jazmyn Rain because even the arrogance of both of you realizes somewhere in there that I am NOT what you tried to tell everyone you think I am. Your words toward me PROVE that there’s a semblance of fear in you somewhere, Jack.
By the way, GCW DOES have a Twitter account.
Just saying.
Jazmyn winks and laughs over her brief moment of comic relief before she continues.
Jazmyn Rain: Anyway, sure, you can make the argument that when I lost my way, I was making a mockery of this sport, but those days are so far behind me that I hardly ever think about them anymore. I’m no big fish in a small pond so if you want to disrespect GCW and every single wrestler that’s part of it, regardless of how they may feel about me, whether I like them or not or vice versa, then go ahead. Keep showcasing your ignorance. You want to bring GCW into this? Fine! Maybe I should carry the banner into our match tonight and I’ll show you that GCW is no small pond. How’s THAT for revenge? Really, how ignorant can you two be. Did I NOT get SOME sort of revenge in Warfare when I eliminated Jack from that match? I did, but it’s not ALL of the revenge. Sure, I could blindside assault Jack, I could take the same shortcuts he did, but that would make me no better than him, would it? I don’t need to stop to that bullshit! In that ring, that’s where I get my revenge and what took place at Warfare when I eliminated Jack is just a preview of what’s to come tonight. I’ll get my revenge. I’ll take that Five Lakes Championship that I have coveted from the first day that I walked into this company. THAT is my revenge: not these blindsides, not the tactics that Jack displays. Funny… someone who is supposedly one of the best pure, technical wrestlers in the world has to stoop to the nonsense that he does. What does that really say about you Jack?
For all of your abilities, you don’t have full faith in them do you? Yet, I’M the scared one?
I faced death in the eye and won! I lost my wrestling career for two years because of my former demons and those demons were scarier than you’ll ever be. For all of Jack’s abilities, the harshness increased more and more the more you two rambled on. Now you want to call me a drug addict? You want to pick at my age? How desperate are you two? Seriously. THIS is the “best” of the mystique and aura of Jack Tillman? I haven’t touched a drug in over four and a half years. That’s all I need to say about that. But I think it’s so funny that you both look at my age of 33 and you ASSUME that the grim reaper is coming for my wrestling career and that Father Time is going to come collect his taxes. But here’s where your ignorance bites you in the ass again. Sure, I’m 33. I have no shame in it. But I’m a GCW Global champion am I not? At 33, I’m heading toward the PEAK of my career if I’m not already there. But here’s the thing you two are overlooking…
I didn’t start training for this until I was 25.
There’s also a two year gap in my career during my time away when I was rehabilitating myself back into this business. So even though I’m 33, training, Indies and mainstream put together, I’ve been doing this for about… what? Six years?
That’s right, 33 with only six years of mileage on her. Compare that to Jack, who is 21 but who started training at 5. That is SIXTEEN YEARS of mileage. You do realize that when you hit my age, assuming you even make it that long, you’ll have almost thirty years of mileage on you, right Jack? You also realize that people my age have double if not TRIPLE the mileage that I do, don’t you? Sorry, but I am not making retirement plans just yet. I can see myself doing this at least another ten years. Compared to a typical 33 year old in this business, I don’t have nearly as much wear and tear.
Gosh, maybe I should publish my most recent medical report or something.
Jazmyn sighs and shakes her head again, clearly in disbelief of the ignorance and arrogance of Jack and Chris.
Jazmyn Rain: Nice try in trying to undercut me and break me down. I’ll give you credit for trying to bring up my dark past and trying to make me think about motherhood and all of that. But it didn’t work! As harsh as your criticisms were of me, I’ve overcome even harsher criticism than that. But all in all, you assume! That’s all you did! Stereotype me as much as you want and as much as you did, but that’s not going to deter me!
So keep ASSUMING… keep being ignorant.
One way or another, the whole world is going to see the true character of you and I both tonight.
I hope you have all the faith in the world in your words… because when I prove them wrong tonight, you’ll be exposed for the asses you made yourselves look like during your little production from earlier.
I don’t need to be a star to beat Jack Tillman, all I need to be is Jazmyn Rain and when it’s all said and done, Jazmyn Rain will be the NGW Five Lakes Champion…
...whether you two want to believe it or not!
And trust me, it won’t be a fluke either!
Jazmyn scoffs and chuckles for a bit before she turns off the camera, ready to do battle for the Five Lakes Championship later in the night.
