What’s up all of my Dreamers out there?
I guess this has been the moment that we have all been waiting for. When I first signed up with Combat I didn’t know what to expect to be honest. I simply was signing my name on the dotted line in hopes of proving to the world and myself that I could be a top tier wrestler again. It has been forever since I was really focused enough to make things happen in the confines of the ring. At one point in my career I was considered to be the absolute best. I held World Championships and I was the man to beat.
It didn’t matter if it was about being the man that you see in front of you right now. A man who would go down to that ring give his very best and try to keep the dream living on or I didn’t care if it meant turning my back on the fans hiding behind my manager, and being a chicken shit of a wrestler. The fact of the matter is when you saw my name on a wrestling card you knew I could be trusted to give my very best. You knew I would giving my all and there was nothing that would stop me from pouring my heart out into the very ring that I love.
One day however I just started losing passion for wrestling. I don’t know if it’s because I have been in two back to back nasty divorces or if I just didn’t give a care anymore. The fact of the matter is I really didn’t care about anything anymore. I couldn’t be bothered to record promos for my fans. It was a coin toss if I would even bother to say anything to my opponent at all, and I would never address the fans.
I was in a very low place where I just didn’t care and it showed in my poor performances within that ring. I literally didn’t care. I would say that downward spiral went on for the past 3 years but finally after spiraling for so long Combat has given me a new hope on wrestling again and it has been an amazing run so far.
Last week didn’t really go in the way that I had hoped it would but there’s no reason to get all down because I can still make history. I can go out there and win the Dauntless Championship and I feel like my career would be revitalized once again.
Not only do I get the chance to wrestle for a championship but I get to do so in a match that I have never lost before in the form of a ladder match.
When I look at a ladder I see the tool that best represents my career from start to finish. To get anywhere in wrestling it feels like it’s a climb. It’s a slow climb to get to the very top. There will be times when you will get knocked down. People won’t believe in you. They won’t believe that you are perhaps the future of the business and they will do everything in their power to tell you that you aren’t good enough or that you don’t belong here.
You have two choices to make at that point. You can either let the discourage knock you down, or you can suck it up and find a way to keep on climbing. I can personally tell all of you that I have been knocked down quite a bit. There have been times where I didn’t wish to climb. Where I wanted to just quit but something in me told me to dust myself off.
Something in me told me to keep on going. Some may call it stupidity but I call it something called perseverance, and it’s the force that is driving me. It’s the force that’s telling me that I have all the tools to be somebody in this business and it will be the very thing that keeps me going forward no matter what the naysayers might think.
I have a reason to climb and at the end of the day this match at Ascendancy is about making it to the very top. It’s about being the very best and I won’t let anything or anyone steer me away from going out and accomplishing my dreams.
I made it this far because I earned my spot here and at this PPV will be the first ever Dauntless Champion. Being first is history in itself. People will always remember the first person to do something. I will forever go down in history as being one of the pioneers in this business and it’s something that brings a wide grin to my face.
I could have given up hope after that lost to Killian Kold but I am not going to. Fate has brought me here for a reason and in my mind it’s to win this very championship. There just seems to be two people standing in my way of doing so, and the first one being Taane.
I respect you Taane and i respect your cultural. I can get behind someone who is willing to put the work into the ring in order to make something of himself. Every time I see you competing youa re always busting your ass. You are always going one step ahead and it’s that attitude that will carry you far in this business. Trust me when I say you are one of the people who has a bright future ahead of him.
If you keep pressing forward there’s no telling how far you might get. Honestly I might be a fan of yours and would be cheering you on but the fact is I want this more than you could realize. For me this match means revival, and it means that my mission of not only living the dream would have been complete, but it would mean I have found the redemption I have long searched for.
It’s what I want more than anything else and you can’t even fathom what is going through my head. It’s chills man but it’s a good thing. I know you will test my limits but I want this and when I want something I just go out there and fight for what I believe in.
So mark my words you will be a champion one day. I just don’t think your time is yet because I plan to beat you to the punch.
Of course you have Muru in my way as well. Muru it seems like we are fighting for the same very thing. We both want to show the world we still have it. That we can go out and do what we do best without question.
I think it’s sage to say considering we both are here, we have successfully answered that question. It’s not the fact if we had it or not. The reality is we never lost it but now we are caught in a dilemma. Only one of us can emerge as the victor.
That seems like a huge problem for all three of us really, and I know through everything the real winners in this match are going to be the fans. They are going to be in for quite a show and they all will go home happy.
When it comes to me however I know for a fact that I am the best high flyer in this business, and I will showcase all of my abilities in the ring. It’s going to be an exciting time and I can’t wait to step in that ring fighting for something I really want.
I can see my dreams right there in front of me. In the form of a championship hanging above the ring. The only thing I need to do is grab it with my own bare hands. I will reach out and take that dream. I will make them come true and it will be a reality.
The time for dreaming must come to an end. It’s time to do something tangible and that’s why I must win. Winning is my only option here.
I wish you all the best of luck but the best things in life are worth fighting for and I am a fighter no matter what.
Come Ascendancy Dreams will in fact come true. Courtesy of the Dreamer. Night, night and sweet dreams. IT’s time to do what I do best. This is my ascension….
Boston Massachusetts
It seemed like everybody that was important to Todd’s life were flying into Boston to see him compete. Mainly his best friend, his very own sister Jennifer Williams had decided to fly into town to see Todd compete. The two walked through the city of Boston as Jenny just glanced over at her brother Todd with a wide grin on her face.
Jenny: I am really proud of you Todd.
Todd: Why is that exactly?!
Jenny: Because after all of these years you finally put your mind to something and you are sticking with it. For the longest it felt like you had no direction in your life, and I am happy all of the pieces of the puzzle are starting to fit into place.
Todd nods his head in agreement as he smirks at his sister.
Todd: To be honest Kimberly is a lot to do with that. When Fiona divorced from me I was a lost soul. I had no idea what I was going to do with my life. I didn’t want to deal with anything or anyone. My very own family burned me and I had nowhere to turn.
Jenny just shakes her head with a sigh as she glances into the eyes of her brother.
Jenny: I know it sucked and who would have thought that Bitch Fiona was only there to make money off of you. I blame that asinine asshole she was sleeping with. Granted you can be a womanizer at times but even you didn’t deserve what she put you through. Despite how much you might have been a jerk to me.
Todd: Hey I know I was a jerk… There isn’t a day that goes by when I don’t realize how much of a fuck up I was, but at least I have you now, and to be honest that’s all that really matters. Thank you for being in my life Jenny. You truly are a blessing and are my best friend.
Jenny: Being a year apart will definitely do that and don’t forget I am your OLDER sister!
Todd rolls his eyes as he smirks at her.
Todd: By one year…
Jenny: Yes but that one year makes me the wiser, and I am here to help guide you when you make mistakes. I am here to help correct you of your ways. It’s what mom would have wanted, and you have no idea how much you look like her.
Todd: Really? Was she a great person?
Jenny slowly nods her head with a smirk.
Jenny: She was amazing. Granted I didn’t know her that long because she died from your childbirth but from the pictures she seemed like a very family oriented person and it’s no different from the man that you are on the inside. You are there to really help your family along. You love Kimberly, and you would do anything for Brittany. That’s the man everyone wants you to be. Not the tough punk that you try to portray at times.
Todd nods his head with a sigh.
Todd: I know but what we do with the hotel business kind of goes against that image. If people only knew the truth about what we do in our basement nobody would have that image of me.
Jenny: Small steps Todd… That’s all you need to do is take very small steps. For now just focus on your wrestling career which seems to be getting really good, you better bring home that championship.
Todd smiles wide.
Todd: I plan to do exactly that and from there it’s to celebrate with you, Brittany, and Kimberly. I want to show them all that this positive attitude can get you far in life. Nobody needs to act how I used to act in order to accomplish something. It’s time to really fight and earn my accomplishments and I feel I can get there.
Jenny: Good and I will be your biggest cheerleader.
Jenny stares at the arena as Todd stares at it as well.
Jenny: It won’t be long until dreams come.
Todd: MY dream will become a reality… Rest assure on that.
Jenny: I know Todd… I believe in you. The world believes in you, now you just need to believe in it.
Todd smiles as he keeps his eyes on the building as we fade out on this image.
