Sometimes I feel like the wrestling ring can cause the worst in some people. I know it first and foremost as my drive to become a singles champion was almost like that of a demon that just can’t seem to rest. A demon that would do anything and everything just to claim a hold of a championship. For the most part however it was something that I have been able to keep contained because I know that at the end of the day wrestling is something that I can’t afford to let consume me.
Once I let those thoughts of arrogance creep in it’s going to pull me in directions that I rather not want to go. The mere idea of chasing after a championship had me doing things that one couldn’t even fathom. It had me spraying hair spray in people’s faces. Stamping ugly all over their forehead, and I rather not go back to the days of what I used to do.
Don’t even let me start on how ruthless I used to be when it came to the A Listers. We were the absolute cream of the crop. The best of the very best. Nobody could tell us any different. We did anything it took to get to the top, and did everything we could to claim our positions on top of it. That was just the nature of knowing we were better than everyone else.
However something started to change within me. Something changed to where I was losing all of those who were close to me and I refused to do anything to ever go back to that point of being an arrogant cunt again. I rather work my ass off and do things the right way.
That brings me to my career here in LAW. I have been in this company for a while now and there is one thing that has eluded me since my time of being here. That one thing has been the right to hold a singles championship. I have had two goes at the Marquee Championship and both times have ended in that of failure. To me a singles championship means more than anything else. The last time that I even held a singles championship was in the very beginning of 2013. That is a very long time to go without holding a championship. I know I should feel complacent with being Tag Team Champion but a woman of my calibur knows that there is something better out there, and for a woman who has competing for as long as I have I know that I am destined to be a singles champion.
That I have it in me to showcase my talents as an individual in addition to that of being in a team. On the last edition of LAW I proved to the entire world that I deserve to be in the conversation. I deserve to be competing for something. Nobody can just walk into a match and beat the Marquee Champion like I could but I did. I beat her cleanly in the ring and that should give me the right to be apart of the title equation.
There are so many individuals who feel that they deserve this and that they deserve that. Yet they haven’t done anything to show for it. I on the other hand just go out there and beat the champion in the first match that I get against her. I don’t want that victory to be my ceiling. I will continue to go through the ranks proving myself in match after match until I eventually gain that championship match.
Right now the woman that has been placed in front of me is Alex Lyn. Alex Lyn is impressive if I do say so myself. She is a woman who has made it to the semi finals of the World Championship tournament and that is something that nobody can ever take away from her. So congratulations on making it that far. It’s just a shame that I never got a shot to be in the tournament.
I never get a shot to be in any tournament. But that’s fine. I can personally show LAW that I shouldn’t be overlooked. I can show this company that it doesn’t matter who you put in front of me. I will find a way to win and find a way to eventually become a champion. Alex Lyn seems to associate herself with the USA and to me it doesn’t really matter. To my friend Nicky it would but to me it really doesn’t make the difference. The only thing that I have my heart set out on doing is winning. Beating you Alex so that I can move farther on in this company.
You have a good head on your shoulders. You seem to be a very nice girl and your wrestling career is definitely moving in the right direction. You aren’t facing some nobody at Rising Stars though. You are stepping into the ring with a veteran who has been competing at this craft of wrestling for ten years now. A woman who was birthed into this profession, a woman who married to this profession, and a woman who will continue to be this business.
So Alex you can try all you want. You can give me your best, but by the end of Rising Stars… You my dear will be just another statistic. For you are dealing with one rose that simply refuses to wither away...
It had been a while since Crystal honestly had a heart to heart with her former boyfriend now turned into manager Maleek Raheem. Maleek had been in the doghouse with Crystal for that stunt he pulled in her match with Sidney Grey but recently he seemed to earn back some favor back with the Latina when he decided to manage the reunited A Listers which ultimately led them to tag team gold. However this wasn’t a business visit as Crystal had other things in mind. She had come to his apartment to talk to him about her friend Nicky. A woman that she considered to be a sister. She was clad in a way she knew would be appealing to Maleek. Short skirt which showed her legs. Heels, and a short tank top that exposed some mid drift. She couldn’t hesitate as she started banging on his apartment door.
“You there?! I know you are there Maleek. You can’t let a sexy girl hanging out here can you?!” She said with a smirk as she continued to knock. Gaining some whistles from various people who walked down the hallway. Crystal offered a grin in response as she turned her attention back over to the door.
Raheem walked to the door and looked through the peephole and saw Crystal standing there, looking fine as ever...but he felt conflicted as his throughts turned back to Nyako. Every since the night the two of them had shared, she had dominated his thoughts. Seeing Crystal here, brought back a flood of old emotions that he had been trying hard to forget. He wanted to keep his relationship with her and Nicky professional...but their past made that harder than he thought it would.
He sighed as he opened up the door and smirked at her, “Cryst…? I hope you aint’ comin’ here to waste my damn time like Fatty Silver! That crazy bitch sat on my damn couch and stared at me like a damn fool for half an hour before I had to run her ass outta’ here!”
Crystal however quickly made her way inside the apartment as she looked back at him with a wide grin on her lips. She looks at his chest before she slowly strutted her way inside. “Hey there Maleek...Actually I was hoping the two of us could have a little talk. It’s been a while… You have anything that a girl can drink. I feel like relieving a little stress…”
She made her way over to his cabinet as she pulled out the greygoose. Her eyes opened in amazement as she reached for a glass before pulling the orange juice out of the refrigerator. “You always had what I liked. You ain’t change one bit have you…” She smiled seductively before taking a seat on top of his table.
He swallowed hard, as he tried to keep his eyes on hers instead of her seductive body. “Yeah...I...I try not to change it up too much.” He started to pour himself a drink, then he hesitated as he remembered what happened the last time he drank too much with a female. Even though it had ended in a sexual encounter, he didn’t want the same thing happening again...especially when he was trying his best to be a better man...let alone a manager.
“So...what’s up homegirl? What you comin’ through to talk bout’?” He rubbed his chin nervously, not even sure what to do with himself.
She let a smile escape her lips as she muttered one word out of her mouth. “You…” She picked up the glass before she made her way over to where he was standing holding her glass up. “What’s wrong?! Don’t want to take a drink… It’s not like you to not take a drink. Don’t tell me the brotha went soft in all this time. It’s only been what?! Six years since we were together… Come on take one for old times… It’s not going to hurt or anything…” She said gently giving him a kiss on his cheek as she held her glass up. Using all of her actressing ways hoping she could charm her way into a serious conversation with him.
Raheem stiffened at her nearness. He had always been a sucker for her, and he knew that he could fall back at any moment if he let his guard down. He held up his hands, “Nah...I’m kinda workin’ on some shit...I don’t git’ my drank on when I’m workin’” He took a step away from her, feeling better with more distance between them. “Okay...what’s up homegirl...speak on it.”
“You really changed over the years… That’s always a good thing…” She said before she put her drink down. Her eyes shifted over to him before she leaned back against the wall. “Look I did come here tonight but honestly it was in Nicky’s favor. When we messed around six years ago it was because I stabbed my best friend in the back and took something that she had her eyes on. It was fucked up at the time and I honestly didn’t care. The only thing that was ever important was what Crystal wanted to do, and that’s not how I want to be remembered by. I want to make things right, and you should want to do it too…”
Her eyes shifted right over to Maleek as she let a deep breath escape her lips. “Nicky… We both did her wrong and I know she was here a few weeks ago… She couldn’t muster what she wanted to say but I might as well say it for her. She still has feelings for you. You might want to talk to her.”
It would have been easy for him to say the same, only because it was true. He cared about Nicky, but he also cared about Crystal. Feelings like that never just go away. That being said, owning up to those feelings wasn’t something that he was going to do. He folded his arms and narrowed his eyes on her. “Look here, that shit was fuckin’ six years ago...I aint draggin’ that mess up!”
He walked away from her, shaking his head. “Yo! If Nicky got feelin’s, she gonna have to deal wit’ that on her own! I agreed to do this Manager thang’ because I thought that we could all be cool! I aint’ livin’ in th’ fuckin’ past, and I suggest that you help lil’ bit git’ over this!”
“If I could I would, but I am worried about her lately… She seems so wrapped up over this Asian thing it’s consuming her. and I am worried. I know the old Nicky is somewhere in there. She just needs help bringing it out. You are the link to her past, and if you could at least give her some closure. I am sure it would help her off this path that she is on. She needs to move on…You going to help her or not?! You have to admit she has been looking kind of good lately…”
“Crystal! I aint’ tryin’ to be lookin’ at her like that!” He could admit it to himself, but not out loud. “Look, if you want me to tell Nicky that we aint’ gonna be doin’ th’ do...I’m her Manager and I am gonna do it th’ right way this time.”
He sighed as his thoughts turned to Nicky and her problems with USA...Oni in particular. “As for Nicky’s beef wit’ Oni, I got it...she lost some of the best years of her life...but that stuff has to be over and done wit’ now. It looks like Oni has moved on...you did...Nicky is gonna have to do the same damn thing.”
Crystal nodded her head as she made her way towards the door. “Well thanks for hearing me out. I am happy that we can still have a decent conversation with one another. Take care of yourself, and if you need anything just give me a call. “She walks over to him giving him a kiss on the lips before taking a leave. “Take care, and please there for Nicky…” She says before leaving the apartment.
