OOC: Sorry to everyone in this match, but I am going promo only. I haven’t been feeling all that well lately. No COVID symptoms thankfully, but the heat wave here in the Northeast has definitely gotten to me. And I'm just not motivated to sit here and type. Hopefully I’ll be better post-RTG.

[I just don’t see how this will settle it all. Having 14 individuals in one match all fighting at the same time tooth and nail, with the prize of being the number one contender to the United States Championship waiting on the other side when one makes a successful pinfall or is able to get someone to tap out. It just does not seem like it will bring closure to anything brewing amongst us. So that is why I am sighing. Throwing a future championship opportunity out there like a dangled carrot is not going to help all of the situations that are included in this match. Take a step back and let us have a look, shall we? Let’s get myself out of the way quickly here as it is obvious that I just want to take out the Wonderland and then later in the night watch Owen Cruze destroy Giovanni Aries, hopefully making Giovanni feel sorry for all of his sins that he has committed. Add on top of it the fact that I want to finish taking Hoffman out due to his little lawsuit that he has since smartly rescinded. As far as my tag team partner goes, I know that Kelsai wants more than to just let love in. She was definitely okay with tagging up with me to finish up the business that should have been taken care of many weeks ago. Moving on from the two of us though, it’s clear that Cain and Alice only want to do what Giovanni tells them to do. They don’t care one bit for who they step on. They just want to keep their Lizard King happy.]
[Aside from our scheduled match, this won’t settle anything between Xander and Clyde, because if neither of them is pinned or forced to submit, Clyde will just continue to belittle Xander and claim that he is the new executioner, when he hasn’t earned the right to that title. Does it sound like I’m on Xander’s side despite being on the losing end against Xander several weeks back? You bet I’m on Xander’s side, because I understand his frustrations, as they compare to my very own!]
[And so on down the line as I look at the rest of the field in this brouhaha. Ace and Chris, Christy and Cassidy… how are they supposed to resolve their issues when they might get separated in the mess that is going to ensue? As for the remnants, I know Damian Angel is pissed for just being “tossed into this”. Cookie Dreams has found some recent success with a TV Title stint, Void is honestly currently just in the abyss with no direction, and the Dancing Bear… better not get in my face, because I am in no mood to dance.]
[So with all of this said, it’s why I have my hands on my hips right now, looking like how a confused non-smart blonde would look sometimes. I guess I may as well let the masses know where my head is at…]
Jay:
“Rise to Greatness weekend is something I have experienced so many times in the past. I have been in championship matches, grudge matches, and regular plain old matches. This year though, Sunday night, I will experience something different. Originally I thought this would be the first time I would get to compete in a tag team match at Rise to Greatness. However now the course has been diverted to make everything completely uncertain. Now I find myself in a match within a match and there will be so much crap going on that it will be insanely hard to focus on anyone. Sasha probably thought this would be a great way to clean up some problems, but in actuality if she put this match together, she has made even MORE of a mess of things. It’s nothing new though. I know many out there are rolling their eyes thinking oh great, he’s going to disagree with his boss yet again. The point is… she just doesn’t make great decisions. She has a lot of growing to do. I will leave it at that. As far as Hoffman went, I had to hire my own attorneys to make sure he rescinded his bullshit lawsuit against me. If I hadn’t, he would still be holding his nonsense over my head.”
“Of course he wouldn’t have even had a lawsuit to file if Cain Adams and Alice Ames didn’t go and get themselves suspended. We could have just had our tag team match, Kelsai and I would have defeated the two of you goons, and we would have all gone our merry ways. So since that matter was left unsettled, I will make SURE it’s one matter that at least DOES get settled here on Sunday night. I’m sure Kelsai wants the same so she too can move on to bigger and better things. As far as what is on my mind Cain and Alice, I will NOT be letting love in when I get to either of you two Sunday night. I will make certain it takes one move and one move only to take each of the two of you out. Trust me, neither of you will be getting an opportunity at the SCW United States Championship, nor at anything else. The only thing you two will be suited for after Rise to Greatness is to do what your pitiful master wants you to do. Relay Giovanni this message… don’t mess with me like the way he has messed with Owen. It won’t end well.”
[I look up to the dark sky and feel a breeze as I do so. I close my eyes and can see some very vivid images, of the women who have most impacted me throughout my life… from Sparkle, to Calli Bennett, to Blair, to my daughter Sarah Vixen, and to finally the most important of all, Martha. I open my eyes on that image and look back down from the sky.]
Jay:
“Speaking of not ending well… Clyde, trust me, you don’t want to play games with Xander. Normally I’m not one to warn someone about someone else, but from personal experience, just don’t do it. Xander Valentine will ALWAYS be SCW’s Executioner and I’m okay with that. He may not show it but I know that deep down he respects me, just like I respect him. If you show him any disrespect Sunday night, and I mean ANY, and I see it, don’t think I won’t hesitate to drop you where you stand! Xander may not like me, but he clearly hates you more, being I have given him no reason to go after me. Of course I will let you two settle your squabble first, but if Kelsai and I have dispatched of the Wonderland early, I will make it clear Clyde that I don’t like you, nor do I like Glory… something I hear we have in common. That is a matter for another time however.”
“Another thing that I will make sure to settle in this cluster is paying back the Dancing Bear for their attack. I have the tranquilizer darts ready and I won’t be afraid or ashamed to use them to put down that farce. It’s ones like this “Bear” that make it even more clear that Sasha has a lot of work to do. I’m sure she doesn’t care by now about what I think, so… I’ll get rid of the forest creature problem myself. Perhaps that will put your nerves at ease Lexy.”
“Just like how I know that Cassidy Carter puts Ace’s penis at ease. Err… well maybe the opposite. I’ll stop touching on that subject and leave them both alone as honestly, I don’t have any issues with them. They can deal with Chris Cannon and Christy Matthews respectively. Which leaves Cookie Dreams, Void, and someone I know very well… that being you Damian. It’s been over a decade since you and I tangled last, when you had Greg Cherry at your side, and I had Liana Lewis as a tag team partner. It’s been so long. Obviously both of us right now are a far cry from where we used to be in the SCW pecking order. Don’t think that doesn’t stop me though from taking you down in this too if you cross my path. I have shown that I’ve never been scared of a single soul in this company, and that includes you. It’s the same really with Void as well, even though this will be my first encounter with her. She’s really just a woman in a mask, when you Damian used to be a man in face paint. At one point or another the both of you have tried to conceal yourselves from the world, not wanting to show the looks in your eyes, because the two of YOU were or are the scared ones. Void is scared of failing, which she has done as Scarlet. And you Damian, you just wanted to scare people back in the day, which may have worked on some, but it did not and never will work on me.”
[I take a deep breath and heave a heavy sigh. Those really are all my thoughts. I know they seem discombobulated and all over the place, but that is exactly what this match is going to be like. In reality it doesn’t make any sense, yet it is all for a chance at the SCW United States Championship… a championship that I have not yet held, being I have never got the chance to win it.]
Jay:
“To this entire match field, not much does scare me, certainly no physical pain does. Thus if you want to come after me, bring it. I have plenty of Golden Moments left to give. And this Rise to Greatness, if I have to expenditure a bunch, so be it. If I don’t win the chance to go up against Selena for the United States Championship, I am going to make damn sure someone unworthy won’t either!”
[There is just so much ahead of me. It’s an unsettling feeling, but I have pulled through in so many different situations before. Sunday night will be this newest opportunity to add to that list.]
