“Homecoming History”
Date: July 22, 2018
NGW Five Lakes Champion Jazmyn Rain is obviously in a tremendous mood. Life is definitely good for the Charlotte native not just because she’s the Five Lakes Champion in NGW< but in GCW, being a three-time and current Global Champion also makes everything swell. On top of that, Jazmyn is set to get married to the love of her life in one month’s time. Her mood and demeanor is far brighter than it was going into WrestleForce when things just couldn’t seem to go her way. Jazmyn takes a deep breath, gathering herself in her living room before she expresses her thoughts.
Jazmyn Rain: Going into WrestleForce, I definitely had so much going against me. I wasn’t winning matches the way I had wanted to and I was feeling like a failure as the NGW Five Lakes Champion. Not only that, I had to face tremendous odds going up against seven other people in the Trials and Tribulations match. Yeah, maybe I was the sixth entry and I didn’t have it as hard as the first two, but there was only one elimination by the time I got to the ring and every competitor that I had to encounter was tough. Making Danny Colt tap out wasn’t as easy as it seemed. Wrestlers like Tee Voland and Betsy Granger beat the hell out of me really good, I will be stand up and admit that. Heck, it seemed like Betsy was going to eliminate me when it was down to the final three, but I hung on and I managed to eliminate her. I’ve got to give Billy Danielson credit, he was far and away the toughest of the competitors that I dealt with. He forced me to bring out my “big match” finisher in the Phoenix Splash in order to win that match. There were some that thought I was about to lose when he kicked out of the Rain Splash, but I knew that this wasn’t a repeat of that Maverick match where I lost myself at the same moment. I persevered and I remained Five Lakes Champion.
Yet, there was no rest for the wicked as I chose to defend the title the very next night at Fallout against Austin Blackwell. Some thought I shouldn’t have done so having gone through the Trials and Tribulations match already. But, I felt like it was the right thing to do considering how badly he was robbed the night before. I know that I was taking a great risk in defending the title against him the night after WrestleForce, but I stuck to my guns and I managed to tie an NGW record with my third successful title defense. So… tonight? This isn’t just a title defense. This is a massive opportunity for me. Coral Rose is going to be a brutal challenger for me… she not only hits hard with her moves, but she also hits quite hard with her mouth too. The opportunity I have in my hands is to stand alone… to do what no other Five Lakes Champion has ever done before and that’s to have FOUR successful championship defenses in one reign… and for this to be at home? Right here in Charlotte?
Gosh, talk about pressure!
Jazmyn sighs, letting loose some of the aforementioned pressure as it pertains to the situation at hand.
Jazmyn: Of course, my NGW debut was in Charlotte and… um… yeah…
Jazmyn puts for a split second, obviously not remembering the outcome in a positive light.
Jazmyn: But that was then, and this is now! I’m stronger and better now then I was when I first came into NGW and I know that’s not going to be enough against someone like you, Coral. I’ve got to bring more to the table than that. I ain’t going to pretend to know you like the back of my hand, but I know you are notorious for being a success story in places like Seattle, among others. You’re about “seduction” and “destruction”. I won’t speak on the former because that’s not my style, but destruction? Let me tell you something, Coral, the word destruction doesn’t scare me a bit. What makes you different from so many wrestlers that have threatened to destroy me? Don’t answer, I know you’re going to beat the shit out of me tonight and that’s fine because at the end of the day, I’m confident that I can take whatever the hell it is you want to dish to me. You’re going to show me how different you are from those that have made the same threats.
I’m not naive.
I know you don’t like me.
Women like you typically can’t stand women like me. I get it. And women like you aren’t anyone to underestimate, I get that too. I’ve never gone into any match against any challenger thinking that I’ve got this in the bag. I admit, there have been matches that I thought I had won while they were happening, that Maverick match being one of them, and it’s cost me here and there, but that’s not going to happen tonight. You are not going to come into my hometown and ruin not only my homecoming, but my opportunity to make history. I know that you can, but you won’t. The only way that you will is if you knock me the fuck out and you can bet that I am going to do everything in my power to ensure that it doesn’t happen. I’m not above knocking you out if I have to. I’m not going into this match actin’ like a sissy sweetheart with all your typical Southern Belle traits. I may have the beauty of one, but I certainly don’t have the temerity of one. I’m not a princess that needs saving, Coral and if you go into this thing thinking that way of me, I promise you, it’s not going to end well for you.
Don’t focus so much on my weaknesses. I know I’ve let the words and opinions of others get to me in the past. I know how annoying it can be to some, and I’m almost certain it’s annoying to you too. But honestly? I couldn’t care less. I am who I am! I have passion for what I do. I wear my heart on my sleeve and I don’t hold back on my feelings because if I do so, I am only serving myself an injustice. I am not going to apologize a damn bit if you don’t like how I conduct myself. Maybe a month or two ago, I would have been complaining about being underestimated. Then, I was very unsure of myself. But now, coming out of two straight title defenses in two straight nights, I’m not unsure anymore. I’m not insecure. Yes, I’ve made mistakes. Yes, there have been times we’re I’ve overreacted to things and made mountains out of molehills. But has that held me back? Has that cost me? It hasn’t! I’m the NGW Five Lakes Champion and the third longest reigning one at that. Maybe I haven’t passed Caroline in title length… yet… but I already know I’ve passed her title reign in importance because unlike her, I give a strong damn about this business.
Call it all “attention seeking” like your sister did. Do you see those two words bothering me?
Because let me be very blunt with you: they don’t.
I won’t deny I’ve whined about things that I shouldn’t have and that I should have been more stand up about stupid, empty words of other people that have come out of some mouths. But I’m human, that’s me. I guess I should say sorry that you’re so observant about your sister’s opinion of “attention seeker”? No… I won’t say sorry for that. The only thing I am going to say sorry for is shutting you the fuck up and retaining my Five Lakes Championship in my hometown and the only reason why I am even saying sorry for THAT is because you didn’t ask for this title match. That ain’t to say that you didn’t earn it, because you definitely have being the competitor that you are. But the bottom line is, I don’t care about what you think of me. Heck, I don’t even care if I piss you off. If I piss you off, that’s a Coral Rose problem and not a Jazmyn Rain problem, just like how I put myself out there and how I react to certain things is a Jazmyn Rain problem and not a Rose family problem.
You got a problem with how I conduct myself?
Fine!
Take out all of that aggression on me! Beat the shit out of me, I dare you! But no matter how much you beat the shit out of me, you’re never going to break my All-American Spirit! You’re not going to stop me from being the best Five Lakes Champion NGW has ever had going back to its roots involving IPW, NGSE, and so forth! I will do what I did at WrestleForce against all the odds that are against me and that’s finding a way to win because that’s what a champion is all about! The only attention I’m seeking?
Is yours!
And I guess I accomplished that mission with how much I ANNOY YOU!
Jazmyn scoffs, clearly showing that she doesn’t give too much of a damn of how Coral Rose feels about her.
Jazmyn Rain: Bless your heart… if ya even got one that is…
Jazmyn winks before she confidently stands up to shut off the camera and to further prepare herself for her potentially history making hometown title defense tonight
