"Bit Player? That's a Bit Ridiculous"
Date: March 16, 2018
Jazmyn Rain sits inside of a vacant seventh floor studio overlooking the downtown skyline of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on the evening before she is set to compete in her next match in Global Championship Wrestling. After picking up the win against Matthew Shields two weeks ago, partially in honor of her friend Jessica Sears considering the assault he put on her earlier in the night, the two-time GCW Global Champion and the number one contender to the Five Lakes Championship reflects on recent NGW events for a bit going into her match against Damon Graves. She knows already that just like her match against Shields, she isn’t going to be the odds on favorite against Damon either. Some previous words that Damon, as well as other Rebel Society members have said, cause her confident smirk to turn into a glare of fiery determination as she begins to speak.
Jazmyn Rain: Bit player…
Jazmyn sighs, indicating her annoyance with the term.
Jazmyn Rain: By definition, and this applies to British cinema mainly, is that it’s either a person with a very small role with few lines to speak or it can alternatively mean a person or a thing with a very small role in something. Obviously, when YOU, Damon Graves, said that the Guardians that were NOT Adrien Cochrane were “bit players”, you weren’t referring to the cinematic definition. Of course, you were going for the latter definition in implying that myself, Jessica and Joshua have a “small role” in NGW. And you know what, I am not going to sugar coat this, that irked the hell out of me and it still does so now that this match is going to be taking place at the upcoming Dissension, I am going to tell you right from the start that the way you just stood there and undermined me, and the other two, like the clear douchebag you portrayed yourself to be in that moment, created a pool of anger within me that’s going to come out quite a bit during our match.
I’m not going to speak for Jessica or Joshua, they can do that on their own. They are more than capable of speaking for themselves. But as for me? I’m going to hit this fact for you right between the eyes!
Jazmyn Rain isn’t a “bit player”!!!
Did I NOT just beat Matthew Shields two weeks ago who by the way, was the longest reigning world champion in Redemption history?
Have my last few matches, and I’m going to include this one for the record, NOT been against some pretty big name players? Obviously there’s you. But there is also Shields, there’s also Adrien and there’s also Jack Tillman. Sure, I haven’t won every single match I have competed against those that I just mentioned, but if I were every bit of the ‘bit player’ you portrayed me as a few weeks ago when you went on your stupid ‘righteousness’ bullshit about the Guardians and the Destroyers, would I even be IN the ring with those names at ALL? No! You know what I’d be, Damon? I’d be someone like Chuck Matthews who came into NGW with all the hype behind him only for him to turn into just another guy on the roster that didn’t meet all the hype and the expectations of him. I’d be someone like Caroline O’Hara Birchill who was such a “bit player” that everyone forget about her after she left the company and everyone especially forgot that she was the longest reigning New Generation slash Five Lakes Champion until it was mentioned on Twitter the other day that Jack Tillman broke that record. I’d be someone like Gaia Galanos who had the whole fucking WORLD…
UGH…..
Jazmyn lets out an angry sigh.
Jazmyn Rain: ...pardon my language… ANYWAY…
Jazmyn clears her throat to regain her composure.
Jazmyn Rain: … Gaia won the All-Female Invitational last year. Where is she at now? Did she even accomplish a damn thing in NGW? No she did not! Those people right there, Damon, those that had all the hype in the world behind them because of their name, in Chuck’s case, because of an accomplishment, in Caroline’s case, and both, in Gaia’s case… only to WASTE IT… THOSE are the “bit players” you son of a… no…. NO… NOT doing it again… I’m sorry, but this really shouldn’t be bothering me so much and yet, it is because I’ve overcome so much in my career to know deep down that I am more than that. This is no different than all the times Matthew Shields fed me that “least important Guardian” nonsense and look at how I silenced THAT! So, come Dissension, Damon, that’s exactly what I am going to do all over again. I am going to take that “bit player” talk and I am going to make sure you eat that crow! Yeah, you’re going to look at this match and you’re going to take out that Sharpie, remove the cap, and circle yourself as the winner knowing exactly how overconfident you are that you’re going to beat me so easily. Those two words, Damon, say all that I need to know about not just how you feel about me, but also how you see our match coming up. Well, I’m going to warn you, I hope you have some whiteout in hand, because when I’m through with you, you’re going to be whiting out that circle you just Sharpied around your name on this week’s card.
Jazmyn closes her eyes and takes a bit of a longer pause, almost as if she feels a headache is coming on as she realizes that she’s getting far too worked up over the term “bit player”. She stretches out her palms, lightly scratching at the lap of her velvet, black short dress that she’s wearing, letting loose some tension before she continues on.
Jazmyn Rain: I admit, I’ve been underestimated over and over again to the point where it’s become a pet peeve of mine....a REALLY… FRIGGIN’ ANNOYING pet peeve… but I digress. Anyway, I beat Matt Shields, what makes you think I can’t beat YOU? Oh because the Guardians are the “Adrien Cochrane show”? I’m not even going to dive into how pathetically moronic that statement is. Though, okay, at one point in my career, maybe I had every reason to be called a “bit player”. I certainly was one in the opening months of my career as a PRW tag team champion when my partner was doing all the singles wrestling while I was watching on the sidelines. I had what? Less than ten singles matches in front of a live crowd when I fought a triple threat match to win PRW’s Intercontinental Championship? I get that I started late at 25 years of age. I get that I haven’t won a championship in NGW yet. But ever since the start of the new year, I KNOW I’ve been finding my stride here! Not only did I beat Shields, I took Adrien to the limit a month ago. I WOULD HAVE beaten Tillman at Homecoming and been the Five Lakes Champion RIGHT NOW if it wasn’t for all of his underhanded chicken manure that took place during that match. And who was my first match in this company against? Oh yeah, that was Joshua Goldstein, the same “bit player” that became the New Generation slash Five Lakes Champion after our match, who BEAT Tillman twice in title defenses. So I lost that match, sure. But I avenged that loss recently, beating him in that gauntlet to get another crack at Tillman.
“Bit players” don’t win the Rising Star award.
What are you going to say to that? That I’m taking those two words out of context? That I’m making too big of a deal about them? That I’m showing my non-existent “true colors” or proving that the Guardians and the Destroyers are the same or whatever nonsense has come out of your mouth lately? That I’m trying to “prove something” so hard to you? No, I don’t need to prove a damn thing to you and I don’t need to prove a damn thing to anyone else. Impressive as you may be as a competitor, you’re clearly thick-headed, self-righteous and ignorant! I respect the premise of the Rebel Society. You guys have a hell of a group with the four of you in there. The respect I have for Avery knows no bounds at all. My respect for Daisy grows every time I see her and it’s kind of funny how she’s part of this group considering that at one point she said I was “just there”... which isn’t far too different from calling me a “bit player”. At least she apologized for it.
But still, if you think I am doing this for the spotlight, you’re mistaken. I came into this business initially to be somebody because my life was directionless at the time. I was just another cog in the wheel, really. What purpose was I serving for the world being a drunken party girl that was wasting her college degree? Not much of one, I’ll say that! But as my career has endured, even with a two year gap in between, that purpose of “being somebody” has changed. I do this to inspire… because lord knows there are so many people in this world, in our society, that have dealt with the same obstacles that I have dealt with and overcome that are struggling to deal with them. I’m here in this business to let them know that they CAN overcome ANYTHING that stands in front of them to realize every dream that they can imagine. I’m currently in the process of writing a book about my wrestling career not to have any spotlight, but to impart that very lesson and that very value that I JUST said. In essence, I am that guardian angel of people that were just like me growing up and my worst fear is letting them down.
A fear that I’ve experienced multiple times… yes… but it comes with the territory. In any case, I can talk your ear off about my life and career experiences all I want, but I know that in the end, the talk that truly matters is inside that wrestling ring and this weekend, I don’t expect an apology from you for your ignorance about myself, Jessica and Joshua. What I AM expecting of you is giving me the best that you have to offer at Dissension because when I beat you, I don’t want any excuses. As for me? I know I’m stepping up MY game and with having let out what I had been back for almost two months, I’m going to let the “bit player” crap go and going to focus on what truly matters at the end of the day. I don’t have to prove a damn thing to you and that’s not going to be my aim, but what I do know is that even if I don’t win, I am going to leave enough of an impression for you for you to see that maybe, just maybe, you shouldn’t have judged a book by its cover.
But I’m not fighting this match for the moral victory, Damon. I’m showing up in Dublin to win the match outright!
And I’m going to give you one hell of a fight, one far more than you expect out of me!
Jazmyn takes a deep breath, just glad to get that burden of those two words out of her system. She looks out the window at the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania skyline as dusk becomes evening and the city lights start to flicker on, further reflecting on the big challenge ahead.
