“I hate this feeling. I hate the whole idea and I hate the whole load of hoops we have to jump through.”
Tasmin sighed as her fingertips moved along her skin, tracing the outer lines of one of her tattoos on her lower arm. A black sleeveless Asking Alexandria shirt sits on her upper body as her platinum blonde hair sits tied back away from her pale face.
“Being forced to team with Jason again. You may all think it’s something I needed, wanted or asked for. The truth is that teaming with you boyfriend, the man you’re in love with is a horrible, hollow feeling. I’m haunted and pushed by the thoughts that I will let him down. That I will be the cause of a loss that he will have weigh on his head. See I am still a rookie, a child, a newbie in all of this. I stand out there with less than a handful of matches and I can use that excuse for my own shortcomings as I learn this trade…”
“But this is Jason’s life, his entire existence. Yes, I feel it and know it, and I accept it. The one simple truth in all of this...Jason loves wrestling more than he loves me…”
“You’d think that would hurt my feelings or break me. But honestly, being number two to something he loves that much isn’t something to be ashamed of. And I don’t want to let him down, it’s a great motivator. But the other reason why he and I teaming together is a mistake is also that motivation. Thye love. I am more likely to do something reckless and stupid to save him. I’m more likely to do something that would get me into trouble and put our team in a bad position. Those are just some of the reasons off the top of my head as to why Jason and I should not team together. Yet here we are. Pushed into it by WCG management. And I do understand it, it creates tension and drama...and interest. Especially with certain peoples recent social media comments about inter workplace dating….”
Tasmin shakes her head and lets out a deep breath.
“I watch Jason and listen to his comments and I know that is just his way. Much like Matt, Kayla, Jack and Jaxon. All of them are the same in that regard. They don’t look inside and see the positive, they prefer to tear people down and get in their heads. To verbally destroy them before the physicality. I have never been that way. I get excited before a match, I get happy and even a little giggly. I don’t care about Melina and Ryuji’s past. I don’t care about their relationships or personal lives. I care about myself, I care about Jason and I care about that ring. I care about those titles that WCG has floating around. I care about the Long beach, South bay and West coast championships. I want to hold one of them someday and eventually go up to the main roster...to enter NGW and become the young lions champion...because I am a young lion...and I’m hungry…”
“I get to make my debut in NGW at Strange Bedfellows 2 for Lest we forget in New Zealand….”
“I am honored and privileged for that….”
“But before I hope on a plane and go into the southern hemisphere I have to team up with Jason at Hype 11. And I look at our opponents and I know we’re in for a fight. Ryuji Takahashi is a man trying to rebuild a career in WCG and he’s going to team up with Melina to do it. He’s a talent and will be hard to beat. And Melina?. Well the war of words between the Wilsons and the Richards is well documented. I should hate her. According to my sisters. Amber smiles and puts on a happy face but truth be told she has no love lost for anyone from the Wilson family. Kayla may smile and treat them with some sort of neglectful laughter but even if their last name is now Garrison or Miles she will always despise them…”
“Me?.....I don’t care to be honest. I don’t see the point in it, family hatred and feuds. I don’t hate anyone in this business except maybe Julianna DiMaria but….well...she’s gone thankfully enough…..but I don’t hate Ryuji or Melina...this match will be just that...a match...one I’m looking to win…”
