Calvan Greene vs. The One

[TheOne]

{PROMO}

The One smirks, knowing that the camera is centering in on her during a new point in her career, and one that many didn't believe she would attain.  She stands there with her vape in her mouth, but this time, with the Supreme Championship Wrestling Television Championship over her shoulder.  It's another commodity to her, just like a wallet, keys, or cell phone, would be to her, but, unlike those others, she displays it outside of the arena, knowing people may, or may not, see her.  With an exhale of her vape, she just begins speaking, knowing her words are being heard over the departing vehicles of the parking garage.

Ladies and gentlemen... I told you so.  The One has never been one to foreshadow anything that didn't happen within the halls of Supreme Championship Wrestling, unless she realized that things were not applicable to the overall plan and goal.

And this is that moment...

Before I explained to you that the Underground Championship did not represent me.  I never defaulted it's value because there are a number of superstars and competitors in SCW that vie for it, who would represent what it stands for with price, and one day possibly be at the level of Rachel Foxx, who, yes, I admit, I find an admirable person in this organization.  But it wasn't for me.  And that doesn't discredit it.  It doesn't put it in a lesser light.  It doesn't shun it in it any way.  In fact... I applaud those who realize that is the level they are willing to go for recognition and superiority.  It's just not the one for The One... Yet...

Now if it comes down to a Supremacy aspect... There may be a different story, but I digress...

The One takes a drag, and blows it out of her vape.

When I came here I made it clear I wasn't going to make my goal about championships.  And I still, with this over my shoulder, am not.  My career is not defined by what I "achieve" in the lights of a biography that others can read, but instead by the impact and changes I make.  This championship on my shoulder, it happens to be the first true step in that goal and that lineage.  It's not about the title.  it's not about the accolade.  No... It's about something that many people in Supreme Championship Wrestling forget that this industry is more valuable than tangible evidence...

It's about the ACCOLADE...

It's about something you can't feel...

It's about something you can't touch...

For The One, it is about putting her name on the books and establishing herself as someone who is to be taken seriously in this business, this company, and this motherfucking WORLD!

Too long have people doubted my abilities...

Too long have people doubted what I am capable of...

Time after time I was written off as an outcast, a nobody, or in some cases, someone who was so weird that you just avoided at all costs, and guess what, I fucking dealt with it.  I dealt with it because I was forced to.  I looked around and saw everyone talking about me behind my back and talking about what my parents did.  I didn't know I was being attached to them, but I was, and in turn, I was being made as much of a degenerate as they were, but now...

The One pats the Television Championship.

Now what do you motherfuckers have to say?  Huh?  Do you still look at me as the same little girl whose parents fucked yours?  Do you still look at me as the little girl who didn't socialize or look like the rest of you?  No... You don't, do you?!  Instead you look at me as someone who now is on your plane of existence and is a professional wrestler.

I didn't go out there and just win some random match again a slew of nobodies, did I?  I didn't get an "Ultimate Opportunity" that pissed you all off, did I?  No... Instead, I worked my way up in Supreme Championship Wrestling.  In fact, I frighteningly did so at Taking Hold of the Flame, by making it as long and far as I did.  And now, I'm a CHAMPION.  I'm someone ETCHED in your history books, by YOUR standards.  I didn't dod it by any means but by the ones that many previous naysayers had whined and cried about with others.  I worked my way up and earned what is now sitting over my shoulder, and truthfully, it leaves you all speechless, doesn't it?  It makes you all annoyed that you can't blame it on someone doing things in a different way...

But yet... I'm defining the next chapter in the organization that you have held so true and faithful to your hearts for all of these years.  I am here doing exactly what you said people should do in order to become relevant in this business, and I know many of you are sitting there with your jaws agape, speechless as FUCK!

That means one thing...

The One... Won!

And The One did so by representing herself in the most truthful manner possible...

By being herslef...

Now I get it... I am The One and, to you, it's just a mere moniker.  It's nothing to be taken seriously.  I mean... Who would call themselves "The One," right?  It's not a name?  Others have already been very vocal about the fact that what I go by is either super pretentious and cocky, or it's something stupid.  The fact is, you don't know what I went through, and did to even become The One.  It's not just a moniker to me.  It's all I have!  It's all I'm known for, and known as.

And the fact is... Even with the Television Championship over my shoulder in SCW, nobody knows me as anything else... And that's because I haven't earned that right yet...

The One takes a drag of her vape.

Which brings me to Konrad Raab... Konrad, you failed me, big time.  Not just because I won.  Not just because you couldn't defend your title against me.  But because you proved to me that you weren't what you promised the world that you were... A champion.  You see, I handed you something on a silver platter.  I handed you everything you needed.  But you failed at something so basic that, to me, you lost because you lacked one of the biggest skills every champion needs.  It's not strength.  It's not talent.  It's not smarts...

It's listening...

And that was where I wanted to challenge you.  I wanted you to know what you were getting into.  I wanted you to know what my gameplan was, and yet, you didn't know what to do with that information.  You would have known either that I had been bullshitting you, or what my next plan was, and put the onus on me the change up my style and what I planned to do.  Instead, you just ignored it all.  You ignored everything I said.  And yet, you could have had it all in front of you and planned for exactly what I said.  And you could have shown me that you were everything you wanted people to believe, but you just pretended that you were gifted something on a silver platter.  I wanted to challenge you to trust me... And challenge myself to have someone know my gameplan from the start.  But I didn't get it, and what did I do to you, Konrad?  You got exposed.  You got taken down, and ultimately, taken out.  I showed you that I am someone who should be to taken seriously at ALL aspects...

And it's something that should be a lesson to EVERYONE in Supreme Championship Wrestling.  It should be a lesson that tells you that I am not someone who bullshits or beats around the bush.  I am blunt and honest with who I am and what I am about.  It is who The One is and how she has ALWAYS conducted herself in life, minus one small time where she started to "fall in line" with the status quo of SCW.  I am someone who is straight forward and blunt about what my plans, my goals, and my intents are, andd Konrad, you were the biggest name so far to openly display that you are not willing to listen or take me seriously when it comes to that very fact.  And now where are we?  Well better yet, where are you?  You're now somewhere else, doing something else, not related to this championship, when you had the perfect opportunity.  And now that opportunity has passed you by and is moving onto the next person.  Like I said, this belt is about endurance.  This belt is about being willing to fight anyone, anytime, and show that you can step up to the plate and do what you say you're going to do when it comes to winning.

Which brings me to professional wrestling veteran, and my next fork in the road, Calvan Greene...

Calvan is someone who's name I had heard, being that he's been in this industry for some time.  Now the specifics of what I know about him, that is where I will admit, my knowledge is minimal.  I know about what to expect from him, but that doesn't mean I have some kind of upper hand because from what I know, he's someone who will do some batshit insane things to try and get people to praise him and cheer him.  And while in some cases that may be the way to go, I also realize that it is something that can create openings, flaws, and weaknesses.  And I get it... I really do... It's a fun style and really can bring those watching into the match and get them hyped up and excited, but at what costs?  What risks is someone willing to take when, in the end, it has opened them up for being one "slip on a banana peel" away from being caught and choked out?

And that, Calvan, is something you seriously need to think about before stepping into the ring with The One...

You see, man, I was straight with Konrad about my plans and mentality.  I had forgotten why I was in this business and forgotten what my sense of purpose ultimately was.  I had, instead, become enthralled with the idea of simply doing whatever was put in front of me, and making it a part of what I wanted to do.  Regardless of if it was true to my personality, my style, or my mentality, I was talking the talk like everything was made for me, regardless of if it was true or not.  But then I found my purpose and it wasn't a singular title.  It wasn't a singular goal.  Instead it was whatever was in my path next.  It was whatever or whoever crossed me next.  It was whoever impeded my progress of feeling the sense of success and purpose that I crave in life and at Breakdown that person is YOU!

I don't care about your experience.  I don't care about your caution to the wind mentality.  I don't care how much you are willing to bring the crowd into it to try and hype you up, or tone me down.  Why?  Because it's all irrelevant.  It's all irrelevant unless I make it relevant to me, and honestly, none of it is.  It's no discrediting of you because you have that "fuck it all" mentality.  But it's saying that if I stick to my game, if I stick to my strengths, if I don't let you pull me into this game of who can one-up one another, you don't stand a snowball's chance in hell of taking this title off of me.

And don't think I don't know you're in search of that first title...

Don't think I don't know that hunger myself, even as much as I tried to ignore it...

You've been in SCW, how long now?  And you haven't yet risen to the level of champion and I know for any seasoned veteran that has to eat away inside of you.  That has to make you wonder what you're doing wrong.  No matter the facade you may give off of being wild and crazy, it bugs you that you haven't been able to cross that finish line and this newcomer, whom I bet many to expect to get cocky, is a prime opportunity for someone like Calvan Greene to finally... FINALLY... Get that elusive title victory.  The only problem is, Calvan, I'm not cocky.  I am not in over my head just because I have a piece of gold over my shoulder.  It's also not the sole thing that defines me as a person, which is where I differ from so many others, because I don't let it.  I don't let ONE THING define who I am.  Not a title, not a win, not a loss, not anything.  I have been more than just ONE THING my whole life.  Why do you think they call me The One?  It's not about one thing.  It's about being THE ONE PERSON who is defined by everything, and yet doesn't feel the need to be defined by anything.  Instead, she stands on what is in front of her and what or who is staring her down.  

So Calvan... I challenge you to learn a lesson from your predecessor in the ring with me.  I challenge you to have listened to my words.  I challenge you to step up to the plate and show that you are not someone who is going to come up short of even showing a modicum of attention to detail with what The One gives you.  Haven't you heard the phrase, "never look a gift horse in the mouth?"  I'm giving you the opportunity to be something.  Why?  Not because I don't want to be Television Champion, and WANT to be beat, but because I, like some of the mid-2000s champions in SCW, wanted to face the best to be seen as the best, and establish CHANGE when it was drastically needed.  So I want to put myself with my back against the wall VOLUNTARILY.  I want people to EXPECT things from me.  Because then it makes ME work harder, ME work smarter, and ME establish myself as truly someone in SCW who can create change and a new future.

That is my ikigai... That is what drives me and is in front of me...

And it's the TRUTH... Just like death... Just like taxes... And just like ME... The One!

With those final words, The One takes one more puff of her vape, and blows it directly into the camera, creating enough of a smokescreen for her to walk out of frame without being seen.
