“Because I’m Worth It”
Date: May 13, 2018
An hour or so after the intense, but fulfilling confrontation she had with her mother earlier in the day, Jazmyn Rain finds herself sitting down in her hotel room as she thinks about the positive confidence boost she was able to give herself after being able to overcome so much of what she had to deal with growing up. She maintains a smile on her face, knowing in her heart, she did the right thing. But now, she has to think about the events of tonight and a Guardians versus Destroyers battle ahead. It doesn’t take her very long to get her thoughts into battle mode as she begins to express those thoughts.
Jazmyn Rain: Being the NGW Five Lakes Champion is a brilliant reminder of how far I have been able to come over the last few months, hell the last few years. I’ll give Jack Tillman credit, he more than gave me a fight for the ages two weeks ago, but in the end, I never stopped believing and I proved, whether he’ll admit it or not, that it was no fluke whatsoever. I am the NGW Five Lakes Champion because I DESERVE to be the champion and if he and the Destroyers can’t accept that… then tough. I’ve grown confident in myself so much to the point where I’ve been a lot more assertive. I’ve become less tolerant of nonsense that I hear or the actions of others and I just get the sense that the Destroyers are beginning to fade away. Of course, I can’t be overconfident, you know? Every match I face is a different challenge and I know in my heart, especially today of all days, that I can overcome any challenge that I set my mind to as long as I keep believing in myself and tonight? Oh I have one mountain of a challenge, I know that for a fact. It’s not just the fact that Jaxon Richards is Kayla’s brother. It’s also… well… you’ve all SEEN HIM right? The guy is HUGE. He’s going to be tough to get off of his feet and just the size difference alone puts me at a great disadvantage but at the end of the day, I’ve overcome worse disadvantages to be the wrestler I am today and I don’t care if you are impressed or not, Jaxon, I WILL show you exactly why I beat Jack Tillman twice.
You say that you couldn’t care less about me, right?
Jazmyn pauses before shaking her head.
Jazmyn Rain: And do you honestly think that I care if you care?
I don’t! Maybe there was a point in time where I did earlier in my NGW run, hell earlier in my career but my confidence has grown to the point where words are starting to bounce off of me like rubber. Remember when I used to be so offended by every little thing anyone would say about me? Yeah, I’ve grown past that now, Jaxon so I’m not so concerned about the fact that you recycled the very same criticism that Jack Tillman had about me and the title. I know that as a champion, I do enough to represent the title that I hold. I’ll give Jack credit where credit is due, he is one hell of a workaholic that goes above and beyond most nights, but I know that I do so just as much if not more!
It’s no “flukish miracle” that I’m the Five Lakes Champion. Beating someone twice is no fluke as far as I’m concerned!
So, again, you can make all the excuses that you want, Jaxon, but it’s not going to bother me, not anymore. I know that if I listen to your words and take them to heart, that I am going to be distracted against you and I acknowledge that if such a thing were to occur, I’d have nobody to blame but myself for that and I wouldn’t have a valid excuse for it whatsoever. I’m not that kind of fighter that makes excuses because that has never been what I am about. In fact, even the losses that I have that ARE caused by interference, I don’t make excuses for because what’s that going to do for me? It’s just going to make me worried about what could happen in my next match and really, I know that I’m worth more than that.
Jazmyn pauses and takes a deep breath as she immerses herself in her confidence. She’s not particularly annoyed with the words of her opponent Jaxon Richards because she knows that it’s all just words that are coming out of him. She thinks a little bit about what her focus and her mission is going into this match and without thinking about it too much, she thinks about the Guardians, the Destroyers and the war that has raged between them for months. The Five Lakes Champion clenches her fists and shuts her eyes for a split second or two before she takes a deep breath and releases whatever tension she was feeling at the moment. Brimming with a little more confidence, Jazmyn continues to speak her mind.
Jazmyn Rain: But don’t worry Jaxon, I know my purpose going into this match. This match is for my family, that’s what! I know that Adrien, Jessica and Joshua have been going through their hard times lately and being the only one of the Guardians that has a championship in NGW at the moment, I know that by beating you, I can uplift their spirits and help them in THEIR respective fights. I know that by beating you, I can motivate them to fight on regardless of the recent circumstances that they have had to deal with. You come into this thing obviously wanting to destroy me, pardon the pun on that one, and there’s a chance that you may have revenge for Tillman on your mind, but with that sort of narrow focus, I know in my heart that you’re going to be far too distracted at the thought of maiming me to beat me!
I’m entering this match fighting with a love that you could never understand because you and Kayla come from the rotten branches of your family tree that can’t see past your narrow-minded focuses of power and domination! I’m not fighting this match to prove a damn thing to you because I know that I have nothing to prove to you. I admit, I used to think that I had something to prove to every critic, doubter and hater, but being the Five Lakes Champion and having the confidence that I do now… I know that I have nothing to prove to them. Whether it’s NGW, GCW or any wrestler that I ever interacted with in either company, I know that I can never satisfy everyone. I know that there are certain wrestlers out there that are always going to hold something against me and yes, I wanted their approval at one point in time, but now I know that I don’t need it and I also know that they are never going to change their opinion about me at all.
This match, regardless of outcome, isn’t going to change your opinion of me, is it?
So why worry about what you think of me?
Why stress out about your words?
It’s not worth it!
I know I deserve better than to stress myself out about your words. I know that I am stronger than anything the Destroyers could ever throw at me. I know I’m worth it, Jaxon! I know that I’m worth being beyond all of that!
I’m worth the freedom from what once brought me down and tonight, I’m going to show the world why I’m more than worthy of being the Five Lakes Champion!
Why?
Because I’M worth it!
Jazmyn takes a deep breath and thinks about what she just said. She certainly feels great about her match tonight, despite whatever incredible odds she may be facing as she decides to shut off the cameras for the time being.
