Julianna DiMaria is now inside of a library, sitting on a rocking chair and having a book right on her lap. She’s thinking about what’s on her mind, but not for too long as she begins to express her thoughts.
“Hello. Welcome to ‘Story Time with Julianna’. I’m Julianna and I’m a professional wrestler that’s about to tell a story. DUH! Anyway, so the story goes something like this…”
Julianna pauses as she clears her throat and opens the book.
“There was a girl with a tragic life. She made mistakes that strained relations with her whole family. She was eventually institutionalized until she escaped. And along the way, she saw a Bunny. ‘Hi Bunny, how are you?’
‘I don’t know! Why am I even in this story?’ the bunny asks.
‘I don’t know…’ says the girl with a tragic life. I guess I need to fluff up something that’s honestly boring…
AND THEN A GREAT BIG METEOR SHOWER KILLED EVERYONE AND THE EARTH WAS DESTROYED…
The end….”
Julianna has a laugh to herself as she puts the book aside.
“You see my point here? Kristy Mascara decided she wanted to spill her entire life story out there and really what I have to say to that is WOW… at least I know I no longer have to take Ambien in the occasional time I fall victim to sleeplessness. Holy hell, what the fuck was that? This bitch didn’t even mention the fact that she was making her debut. She didn’t mention me. She didn’t mention the company. Hell, she barely even mentioned the sport of professional wrestling if she even mentioned it at all. Cool! EVERYONE has a life story, not just YOU! I mean, I’ve got my own stories to tell about myself, most of which are FAR more interesting then yours.
I can talk about the two world championships that I’ve won in my career. I can talk about how I had to endure emotional abuse from my father because I wasn’t meeting his unrealistic expectations as a professional wrestler and because he constantly told me that he wished he had a son instead. I can talk about how I once lost my way to the darkness myself. I can mention a toxic relationship that I was in for years.
But WHY waste that time? I’m a realist. Nobody in Wrestle: UK would care about the stories I’ve lived through because at the end of the day, it’s being a WRESTLER and what you do inside of that WRESTLING RING is what truly matters at the end of the day. I’ve had my ups and downs, but I’ve never allowed myself to be a true victim to the downs that I’ve experienced over my life and career. I didn’t hit the mainstream thinking ‘Damn, I have to tell my entire life story so that everyone can know who I am.’
That’s not how this business works and that’s not the way the business will ever work. If you want to turn the damn camera on, you BETTER mention who you’re facing because otherwise? Yeah, you’re not going to look good even if you DO win. Experiences build a professional wrestler in this business, sure. But to just blurt out your whole story like that without any regard for the consequences? People lesser than me would jump all over that in a heartbeat. Your story and what you’ve had to go through is more important to you than this match and this feeds into what I was saying about focus. Beating me isn’t going to result in you overcoming anything. Beating me isn’t even your main focus at all. That’s why you’re not going to win. I said last time I turned the camera on that your head was going to be all over the place and I was proven absolutely right.
Yes, I have my own past too but I don’t wear it as a badge of honor the way most wrestlers would. You see Kirsty, there are differences between you and me that are definitely going to tip the scales in my favor. THE biggest difference though? I’m a WRESTLER… you’re a VICTIM. The fact of the matter is that you’re not someone that’s going to have a lasting future right now because whatever the hell happened in your past? You’re still a victim of that. Feeling the need to overcome and put that behind you? Yeah, that’s the behavior of a victim. Me? I’ve gone through my shit but you don’t see me crying about it. I’m not focused on redeeming anything because there’s nothing for me to redeem. At all. Why? Because redemption, also known as making up for your past, is SILLY! It’s little more than a needless distraction that takes away from what’s important in this business.
You clearly do not understand a damn thing about that. You want to overcome your past? See a fucking shrink. Don’t bring your personal life soap opera, and a bloody fucking horrible one, to the dance because as someone who WAS once dumb enough to want to chase redemption and to make my career all about my soap opera… kinda like you with your shit, I can tell you for a fact that professional wrestling is NOT the venue to resolve your little personal problems. I may not care so much for the wrestling audience as a whole aside from the fact that they fatten up my wallet, but they don’t buy tickets to hear you talk about your little soap opera before you ever stepped into a Wrestle” UK ring. They’d get bored. And honestly? I wouldn’t blame them.
So cut the fucking fluff, Kirsty… and get your shit together while you’re at it… because your day of reckoning and the day you receive a well needed reality check IS coming when I break you in ways that trigger your asylum trauma…”
Julianna laughs before she leaves the library behind.
