Adam Allocco vs. Deanna Frost

OOC: Promo only to develop things for the RTG season.

The Guard Tower

Have you ever wanted something so bad, that you overthought it? Or ever wish that you could just go back and undo what you did? Or look at a situation and said to yourself “if I knew then what I know now?”

I know guys… a lot of different questions and I know the Gritters and True Believers will be answering to one or even all three of those questions with a raised hand. Well, let me raise my hand and wave it first!

Hi guys! Been a while since I filmed one of these. Couple of weeks, actually. But shifting gears back to my questions. Because we’re officially on the Road to Rise to Greatness! And not just any Rise to Greatness, no! This is the twentieth anniversary of it! Twenty years of SCW being around with the ‘must see’ pay-per-view of the spring/summer!

And with such massive history and stakes here, everyone in SCW is jockeying for position – a place on the card.

And that’s why I’ve been thinking about these questions. I’ve been thinking about it because, I had my golden ticket as surely as my wife did. I had my chance to punch my card and have a guaranteed match at Rise to Greatness. Not only that, I could stand at the most memorable RTG of all time – the history-making 20th anniversary – as one of its champions! As the United States Champion! I could be part of the main card and, like my wife, be part of an incredible championship match, defending the title the same way she would have and did when she held it – with honor, integrity and courage.

But, unlike my wife, the new world champion, Selena Frost, I couldn’t do it. I lost focus. I lost sight of the task ahead of me and I overthought it all and… I lost. I won’t bore any of you with excuses or me being ‘off my game’ or whatever. I lost. Plain and simple. I give Amelia all the credit in the world. I give Bree all the respect in the world.

But how I wish I could have gone back and tried one more time. Tried one more time to be the United States Champion.

I wish I could explain it but… I’ve spent the past year being tossed from division to division. From Television title, to Underground, to Tag-team… and while I loved teaming with my wife and will always wish to, as well as become tag-team champions again… I would be lying if I didn’t say that a part of me always felt like I was holding her back from her true destiny in SCW – that of the SCW World Championship. That I, with my desire to be part of The House of Frost, was keeping my Selena from her rightful place as the SCW World Champion…

And Taking Hold of the Flame – and the two tournaments that concluded that night – proved that to me. I won’t mince words – I don’t care how many people boo us, that is boo Selena and me. Selena deserves to be the world champion as much as Bree deserves to be the United States Champion. Both women deserve their championships and you will never convince me otherwise when it comes to those tournaments.

But with another path denied to me, and my wife now on the path to her true destiny… I find myself, for the umpteenth time, wondering about my place in SCW. Wondering about where I fit in such an epic card as Rise to Greatness XX.

Last year, my first Rise to Greatness as a competitor, I was placed in the preshow against Kimberly Williams. And taking nothing away from that match, but it left me knowing where I could go from there, where I wanted to go from there. And month after month, being the “Rookie of the Year”, being the a tag-team champion, I have wanted to do all I can to move up in the ranks so that when the event came by again, not only would I be a pick for the main card, I’d be one of the top names mentioned!!

Now, I know what I want to do. I want to challenge Bree Lancaster for a chance at the United States Championship. I want to have the ending that I couldn’t have in that tournament – the answer to know whether or not I am good enough to beat someone on Bree Lancaster’s level.

But… have I earned such a chance? Amelia Blythe sure did. But with names like Alexis Quinne and Asher Hayes thrown in the mix, not to mention the continued hopes of Bree and Datura for tag-team championship opportunity…

The question becomes what has Deanna Frost done to prove that she is deserving of such an opportunity?

And while I can’t say anything now… I plan to change that – and many things – tonight.

Because… perhaps as much of a phantom on me as a failed opportunity, is the shadow that has sat on my shoulders for a year as of tomorrow.

And for those of you that missed it, just ask Adam Allocco. He’ll be delighted to tell you all the details. June 23rd, 2022 – you have me, not even a year into my wrestling career, having just won my first title as the Television champion. I face Adam Allocco on an episode of Breakdown. I won’t…

I won’t…

Sorry… I just… *sigh*

I won’t go into the details of it all but, to me, this wasn’t just some ‘biting off more than I could chew’ kind of match. I wanted to face Adam Allocco to defend my wife’s honour. I wanted to show him and the SCW Universe a taste of what the Frost family could do.

And, to be honest, Adam, if you had just beaten me in a few seconds, I would have preferred that. I would rather have been beaten to the ground with your Enlightenment or Back to Rehab in a few minutes. I could have learned from that! I could have respected that!

But you… heh… that wasn’t good enough for you, was it? No, Adam, you had to humiliate me in order to get to my wife. You had to play games at my expense. You had to toy with me and mock me and make out to be some kind of joke.

Well, it worked. Because since that night, all that keeps coming up with my name, other than my association with Selena, has been the infamous “5 moves of doom match”, where you used only five moves to beat me – the supposed Television Champion at the time and proud member of the House of Frost.

Just like that, the achievement I felt over winning my first title? Gone. My faith in my future here? Gone. My credibility? Gone. Suddenly, I was just a joke. Some ‘poor man’s version of Selena’. Suddenly, it didn’t matter that I had worked for months for the title I held. It didn’t matter that I was shooting through the ranks to become a future ‘Rookie of the Year’. No, I was the girl that Adam Allocco beat with five moves.

And all I wanted was to go back in time and wish I had never made that challenge in the first place. Because I should have known better than to believe you would be wrestle me with respect, Adam. I should have known better than to believe that you would take me seriously. What was it you said? I wasn’t ready?

Do you have any idea how… how… how friggin sick I have been of hearing that since that night? Of hearing it from my boss, O. D.! Of hearing it from other superstars as they faced me! Of hearing it from my own wife!

I’m not ready.
I’m not ready.
I’m not ready!

Because you started it all, Adam! You proved it because you didn’t need your ‘best’ to take me down. Gods… All I have wanted, more than anything, was to have a chance to correct that. To make up for that failure!

Now? Finally, I get that chance. No chamber. No other combatants. No broken arm. I finally get the chance to undo the biggest disappointment in my career!

And no, Adam, this has NOTHING to do with Selena. Nothing, do you understand? Far as I am concerned, she shut your mouth with a superkick and made your ‘great night’ a footnote in her incredible story of headlining THREE Rise to Greatness main-events in a row.

This has nothing to do with my wife and EVERYTHING to do with me.

Because a year ago, you took so much for me. You took a rookie and crushed her spirit. You put a mark on her that didn’t go away. You took her credibility. You took part of her hope and faith in herself. You took… all for some stupid mind game! All for some warped version of your ‘fun’.

This has nothing to do with my wife and everything to do with me because I am not that girl anymore. I am not that naïve woman anymore. I have spent a year of my career with that stigma hanging over my head – struggling with its weight as I tried to prove myself worthy of SCW and of being a member of the House of Frost. Of showing the world what I can do.

But I realize that, in order to truly do that, I need to end this stigma once and for all.

So, you know what, Adam? I don’t care what you are going to say. You want to play your games with me again? You want to repeat the same words of me “not being ready”? Be my guest! The truth is? You thought you were ‘superior’ to my wife and look what happened. You thought the world title was yours for the taking and that you were the ‘only logical candidate’ to take it, look what happened!

If Owen Cruze and my Selena have taught me anything? It’s that Adam Allocco, for all he says, CAN be wrong…

And Adam… you were wrong about me. You have always been wrong about me. I am not just some girl you can destroy with ‘five moves of doom’. I am not some girl that ‘isn’t ready’ anymore.

No. I am Deanna Frost.

I am the woman that has, in spite of your games, survived! Because you know what? You may have hurt me and broken me with that match, but you sure as hell did not DESTROY me! You did not end me! I survived. I dug deep. I fought my insecurities over the months and now? I stand before you more ready than I have ever been in any match of my career. More ready that I have ever been to finally do what you thought I was ‘not ready for’ a year ago.

Beat Adam ‘King of HARDstyle’ Allocco!

Beat Adam Allocco and get my career back on track, not as the woman that lost to ‘five moves of doom’ but the woman that shocked the world by beating that same man! Tonight, Adam, I show just like Selena did, what a difference a year can make!

Tonight, I begin MY path to the Rise to Greatness card by cleaning the slate of my career – cleaning it of its biggest stain and my biggest regret! Tonight, whether the SCW Universe believes me or not…

I will take down a goddamn king!

Checkmate, you son of a bitch!
