| Still Starving For Gold [The video package begins with April Song making her way to the back during the Violent Ends show after her elimination in the Battle Royale. There’s no music or dialogue, just video of her getting stitched up and looking very much annoyed with herself once she was attended to, sitting in the locker room all alone.]Well, I had a decent little showing. I got close, very close to the end. But that wasn’t enough. It’s not a big deal to lose a match like this one. I’ve lost in battle royales before. I’ve lost in singles matches. I’ve lost championships and money and all of the other. One thing about this one annoys me though. This one feels like one I should have had. This one felt like an opportunity just slipped away from me. The American Dream Championship doesn’t mean that much to some members of the roster, but it does mean a lot to me. It would be the perfect accessory, the perfect complementary piece for me, an Air Force girl and all. But that opportunity is gone, at least for now. I can’t blame the Professional for winning. He did what he had to do and did it well. I do wonder though...was he right when he told me that I was looking to please the crowd more than be myself? Should I really go back to the way I was those years ago? My answer is no. Maybe I was more vicious, more ruthless and all of that...but I wasn’t enjoying myself. I didn’t appreciate the small things in this sport that bring me happiness. I didn’t appreciate the people who watch us fight. I didn’t appreciate or respect the people I fought against. Yeah...I’m good. Other opportunities will come. Other successes are there to be had. And I will take advantage. Why? Because all failures, all our losses, are learning experiences. They’re opportunities to evolve, to improve. Look where you were just three years ago? Now look where you are! Multiple time champion, one of the most coveted freelancers on the planet, one of the most feared submission artists around. Just don’t let it get to your head. Just remember how far you still have to go, April. [The video cuts to black completely as the sound of jet engines whirring can be heard before the picture returns with April sitting comfortably on a private jet, her OWA Goddesses Championship draped over an empty seat while she leans back in another, a small smile on her face.]Bloodbath Battle Royale was an...interesting experience to say the least. I’m not going to go on some tangent about how I deserved to win or how unbelievable it is that I lost. You are what your record says you are and right now I have two wins and two defeats. That in itself isn’t Championship worthy, no matter how you slice it. So, what do you do once you suffer a tough loss, even if it’s something where statistically you have a low chance of winning like a Battle Royale? You find a way to bounce back.You move on to what’s absolutely next. And what’s next for me? A Six Pack Challenge that’s more or less the main event of the latest Wrestleworld Chapter! Furthermore, it's a match against so many of those faces that I first saw in that Battle Royale. Arthur Winchester is one guy that, even after seeing him compete in the Bloodbath I don’t know all that much about. I mean, I’m preparing for him on what limited knowledge I have...but I don’t take him as seriously as I would some others? I mean, far be it from me, Miss .500 Record, to underestimate someone, but this one doesn’t seem to be too much to worry about. Another person I’m absolutely NOT worried about: Kendra Watts. Have seen her twice, pinned her square in the middle once and eliminated her from the battle royal the other time. She’s tough. She’s hard. She’s definitely confident and loud, but she’s not very skilled. She’s just another punk rocker wannabe who isn’t in my league as far as being a wrestler goes. No matter how many times I see her, I’m not going to see anything different from. The good ones evolve; the stupid ones keep doing the same thing. Those two, there’s not too much to worry about, right? That does leave three other guys who range from the dangerous to the absolute fucking insane. Aoi Akuma seems to have a bone to pick with me for some reason. I get that WrestleWorld is different from any of my other ventures as a wrestler. That’s honestly why I came here! I came here to get away from some of the same old faces and same old battles and try some new ones on for size. Has everything gone my way? Eh, not really.But, as I’ve said before, everywhere I’ve been I honestly tend to start out slow. It’s a little embarrassing to be gassed up by every promoter you work for, stink up the joint a few times and then prove them right for bringing me in...but it is what it is. All the losing is something I plan on leaving behind in 2019, very much like you should leave behind eating cockroaches and just being a weird ass human being. I understand I’m extremely attractive and a target of a lot of men’s most erotic fantasies, but you really should chill. I won’t hesitate to break any hands or fingers that come my way, and you seem like a prime candidate for that sort of thing. Fucking weirdo. I get that people like you see me involved and instantly your heart soars as you think of how you can grasp my attention but be advised, my dear masked dumbass, that MY undivided attention is one of the last things you ever want in your life. Keep your hands to yourself...or don’t. I can’t stop your take-off, but I will damn sure make sure that you have a crash landing.And then there’s Maverick. This was someone who was happy about being in the Battle Royale, then not happy about it, then wanting the opportunity to fight for the American Dream title, then wanting the European Championship. Which one is it, I wonder? You see, the funny thing is I can relate to his story in a way. I didn’t want one of the titles that I won all the way back in 2018, but I went on and won it anyway because I had a partner who had never tasted gold before and I wanted her to have that moment of being a Tag Team Champion. Maverick, it’s refreshing to meet someone who actually has enough talent to hold a championship. It’s also refreshing to meet someone who feels like they may have taken the match a little less seriously than they should have. But, hey, we came up short. I don’t look at the Six Pack Challenge as a win in the bag, honestly. I look at it as an opportunity. There’s no title on the line, no guaranteed title match or even a shiny trophy or trinket to fight over, but every time we have a chance to fight MAYBE we impress one of those Architects. MAYBE some other promotion gets wind of what we’re capable of and calls us up for a booking or two? You see, I don’t look at this as a match in the competitive sense. I look at this match as more of an advertisement of my talent more than trying to show my superiority over you or anybody else. I’m just a pretty thirty-something just to make her way in the Wrestling World. Nothing more. And so what if I have to bulldoze my way through five other people to make said way? Nobody’s gonna shed a tear if they put me down so, hey, it’s whatever to me.Those belts you own sure look shiny, too. Megalo. The mask that you, or should I say you guys, wear...it’s pretty shiny. I’m not even mad about being busted open by you. You all did what you had to do and I was an obstacle that you had to overcome. Funny thing is when I got the names that were in this match, I yawned and rolled my eyes until I got to you. When I saw the name of the entity that eliminated me from the match, I smiled. Not because I want to seek out revenge. I left that vindictive kinda stuff behind in 2019. I’m actually curious. I want to know more about this Orb and this “we” shit that you are on. You make Jimmy Johnson ...ahem, Aoi Akuma...look downright sane with your behavior. I look at wrestlers like puzzles and you are the one that has quite a few pieces to sift through, aren’t you? You have power, you have skills, but I’m not sure if you’re quite as good as you and this “Orb” think you are. You? You’re simply a problem to be evaluated, solved, then forgotten about. You are my Algebra II homework from high school, my friend. And I’m more than prepared for this quiz….There are five people in this match besides me. All of them have their motivations, their reputations and their desires. I feel kinda bad for them though, because all those motivations, reputations and desires are going to have to wait to be lived up to or lived out...because none of them are going to stop me from winning this match. [April then produces a six-pack of beer, showing that she’s guzzled down all of them except for one]I know plenty about six packs, boys and girl. And this Six Pack “Challenge” that we’re competing in? Let’s just say its a challenge I’m more than accustomed to finishing off. Cheers. | |
