-I don’t need film crew. I don’t need lighting. I don’t need actors to make me look better or say a bit of dialogue. I don’t need a writing team of 20 people to write out what I’m going to say. And I sure as hell don’t need to people to tell me that I stand a chance. All I need are my words and the confidence I bring every time I step in that ring.
-The new custom suit that Chris bought me fits like a glove. Usually not the type to wear something like this but as the months have gone by I’ve been more recognized and more valued. Allot more press and a lot more meeting with investors. So maybe I should dress like I’m better than the rest. No idea how much it cost but it looks like it’s allot. Plus it looks great with the Five Lakes Title that’s on my shoulder.
-Standing in front of a red brick wall in the back of an arena, I stare at the camera that’s in front of me. No Constantine to talk for me today. Just myself and my words. That’s fine. I’ve been more comfortable around the microphone as of late. So like Chris has always said to me before doing a promo. Lights. Camera. Action.
Jack Tillman: “I was not supposed to be where I’m at right now. At the age of 22 I wasn’t supposed to be the NGW Five Lakes Champion. I was supposed to be some type of jobber making the season vet look great. I wasn’t supposed to be a Tag Team Champion over in NGW and Kamikaze Pro. I was supposed to be one of the guys setting up the ring hoping to get a job that night. I wasn’t supposed to be a Trios Champion over in GOL. I was supposed to be in a cramp rent-a-van with 6 other guys trying to make it to the next show. I wasn’t supposed to be the current CWC Junior Heavyweight Champion. I was supposed to be grinding my teeth and taking what ever job I could get my hands on. I wasn’t supposed to be part of a team to win the CWC Weekend Of Trios Tournament nor the GOL Trios Tournament winner as well. I was supposed to be just sitting on the sidelines and watching. And I wasn’t supposed to be part of the most dangerous Stable in NGW history or one of the founding members of the Dogs Of War, the most dominate stable in wrestling today. I was supposed to fear them.
All of this......was not part of the plan. This was not what Chris Constantine and I envisioned when I started being a full time wrestler and no longer just a student. I was supposed to learn from my matches. Get the respect from my pears. Shut my mouth and listen. One thousand squats every day and carry the bags of the vets. This is what a 22 year old should be doing.
But I’m not. I skipped through it all because I’m decades ahead of my pears when it comes to what happens in that ring. I’ve surrounded myself with the very best the industry has to offer and I’ve learned from them on how to be successful in this industry. I’ve stepped in front of the very best this industry has to offer and I never blinked once. I’ve fought tooth and nail to get where I’m at today and no one.....and I do mean no one is going to get in my way to being the very best this industry has to show.
I’m at where I’m at while so many others are trailing behind because I care about this industry more than they do. I don’t take it for granted or use it to jump start another career away from the ring. And it’s because of this hard work and determination that has gotten me to a hemisphere that so many wish they could be at.
And just think about it.....I’m not even at my peak. I’m not at my golden years. I’m still learning. I’m only going to get better every time I’m in that ring. And it’s only a matter of time before I etch my name into the history books as one of the greatest of all time. And no one is going to stop me from doing so. Not NGW. Not Amber Richards. Not even the new role model of NGW.......Jazmyn Rain.”
-A slight grin comes crawling across my faces as I remember the last time I saw her. Rolling around in pain.
Jack Tillman: “My poor little Angel. Did I bight your wings off? Did I pull you down from your little joy ride up in the clouds and wake you up from your fantasy world? Good Rain. You needed to be woken up and realize that this isn’t some type of fantasy world. This is the real world Rain and I rule it with an iron fist.”
-Pointing to my head, I slightly tap it as I continue to talk to Rain.
Jack Tillman: “I’m in your head Rain. I’ve planted fear in your head and it’s growing. It’s taking over. Its roots are crawling around in your subconscious and it’s planting more seeds of doubt and fear. It’s eating you alive from the inside and there’s not a god damn thing you can do about it because I have perfected my fear in such a way that come Battle Of London you’ll be nothing more than a walking husk of yourself by the time you step in that ring.
But you won’t quit will you? You’re not a quitter. You have your fans and friends watching. Encouraging you that you can do it. You can do it. You can do it. But those seeds are planted in Rain and all you know, deep down inside, are that those words of hope and believing in yourself are nothing more than lies. Lies because you know you can’t beat me because I will do anything and everything to be the last one standing and you won’t. And at the end of the day once that bell rings.....anything after is out of passion for survival.”
-The image of Rain in pain reminds me of how I treated Trixie last year. Big talker but didn’t stand a chance against me, both physically and mentally. Look at Trixie before we met. She was supposed to be the next big thing in NGW. She was dating the boss. She had the then Genesis Title. But look at her now since I showed how big a fraud that she is. Left NGW and still losing to me over in Kamikaze Pro.
Jack Tillman: “We all do things differently. I make my own rules because it’s a lot easier that way. And every time I step in that ring it’s like going to war, and in war it’s not about who has more respect or more honor. It’s about who will cross that line to win. So will you ride into battle on horse back swinging a sword in the air? Because if you are I’m going to mow you down with a machine gun, fill your lungs with mustard gas, set fire to your corps with a flamethrower, and nuke you out of existence.”
-Keeping myself cool I take the Five Lakes Title off my shoulder and hold it next to me as I push it forward so that the camera can get a good glimpse of the title.
Jack Tillman: “You’re not taking my Five Lakes Title Rain. You may not like how my title reign has been. But then again neither am I. I’m not happy about it either because I wanted to defend it allot more than I had been and facing off against some tougher competition for it would be grand. But unlike so many others before me, I took this title around the world. I took it to other promotions. Japan, Mexico, England. I represented NGW every time I walked out by having that Five Lakes Title around my waste. All because the front office didn’t want me to defend my title.”
-As I place the Five Lakes Title back on my shoulder, I can’t help but think of all the times NGW has tried to keep me down. Time and time again they’ve tried to prevent me from making my mark on this company. That’s why I take everything and ask for forgiveness later. Destroyers vs. NGW. Dogs Of War vs. the world. Jack Tillman vs. everyone. I fight to survive in an industry that’s cut throat and I’ve handled myself just fine.
Jack Tillman: “But ask that big question. What if Rains does beat me? Then what? What will happen if Rains wins that title? Well she won’t be going to Mexico. She won be going England. She won’t be going to Japan. She won’t touch soil on any other territory that isn’t NGW or GCW. She won’t go out and face the best. She’ll let that title collect dust as she goes off and shoots photos for some model magazines. Or she’ll continue to doubt herself and wonder if she’s really worthy of that title. Or she’ll go to her safe space and tweet crap on twitter that no one gives a damn about. Or maybe she’ll get addicted again and leave wrestling for good.
Rains doesn’t deserve the Five Lakes Title. She’s done nothing in her sad little career to hold onto this title. And it’s hard to win a title when you’re scared shitless of your opponent. Alright, I’m in her head. She fears me. She has nightmares over me over the things I am willing to do to her because I’m willing to cross the line. And because of lack of confidence in her self.....shes just a waste of a roster spot here in NGW....... and after Battle Of London I will rid you from the roster once and for all.”
-Stepping forward, I lean towards the camera and address Rains one last time.
Jack Tillman: “When I place the Recluse on you Rain......Cry Havoc and tap.”
-Standing back up I lean against the wall as the scene soon goes to black.
-The new custom suit that Chris bought me fits like a glove. Usually not the type to wear something like this but as the months have gone by I’ve been more recognized and more valued. Allot more press and a lot more meeting with investors. So maybe I should dress like I’m better than the rest. No idea how much it cost but it looks like it’s allot.
