"Alright, What do you want me to say?
Sorry?
Like I don't know, I spent all this time rambling about how I don't lie, and then I lost to TLA and lied. Taylor Swift was all too correct about Karma; it really bit me in this situation. But I don't apologize. I don't feel bad for anyone besides myself; I was robbed! Once again, those bright lights cost me another match here on Voltage. I'm really starting to miss Dynasty around here. TLA just ended everything I had going, from my momentum to the entire first chapter of my story. Who is he to rip away my story? Who does he think he is—some rich Hollywood actor? But besides the point, TLA is the past. And in my opinion, I think we consider him like some sort of lost scene in a movie. We can discuss his cheap win when my career is wrapped up. Then we can play it in the post-credit scene. It happened, sure. I'm not going to deny that TLA won. It's just not canon to my story and this era of my career. The way I see it, I beat TLA months ago, and TLA beat me recently. It's one-on-one. We need that third match to truly figure out who is the best.
But before I can even consider a third encounter with TLA, I have to end this thing with AJ Redding. And I say thing because I don't really know what else to call it. I got in AJ's hair thinking he would be a one-and-done match. I win, I move on. He stays in the "who?" division, as I like to call it. But clearly one of two things is going on here: either AJ is just scared to face me one-on-one and prefers to stalk me from commentary or Voltage really sees this as a match to put an investment on. Which, if that is the case, would make me scared? You see an investment in Jamie Cross vs. AJ Redding and not Jamie Cross vs. TLA? What kind of brand is being run around here? I know some lunatics run this place, but I didn't think it could possibly get that bad. But I doubt they would make a mistake like that. Although they are pretty close, by putting me in a triple threat...
A triple threat? Really????
AJ Redding makes sense, but Lucius Crowe? This guy has been here for not even a minute and has said all of three things in his entire career. I see just as much importance in him as a pack of skittles. I'm not trying to be mean; I'm just saying that I see Lucius Crowe ending up the same way Piff did after my match with him. Crowe serves no purpose in this match; I don't mean that rudely. It's just a fact; he could be off doing better things instead of being a third wheel between me and AJ Redding. Go read a book. Watch a movie. If you need any recommendations, I watched Barbie for the first time last night, and I have to say it is truly cinematic. Possibly the best film of all time, Margot Robbie is a Queen. I aspire to be like Margot.
Speaking of Barbie, If it isn't the person who acts like Ken a bit too much, Clingy, unaware of who he is without a girl who wants nothing to do with him. Hello, AJ. Look, I think it's cute that you are clingy to the idea of keeping your name attached to me, but it's got to go. It's starting to get obsessive. You're acting more like a leach now. But I get it. If anyone understands not wanting to let a feud with a big-name superstar go, it's me. You think I wanted to end things with Milli Banks so shortly? You think I didn't want to continue talking with Bethany Blue? Of course. But at the end of the day, calling yourself "heart and soul" doesn't mean you put your heart and soul into leaching on one person. That doesn't get you anywhere. Given, neither does being the heart and soul of EAW. I tried that. All it got me was a handshake. It's not worth it. Being the heart and soul doesn't make you "the leader of the next generation" because you will be given nothing. All you will become is that guy they can rely on to make everyone else look good. You don't want that.
Besides the fact that, if you want it or not, you don't deserve it, You don't deserve to be given the spotlight. You don't deserve to be titled "leader of the next generation" because it's false advertising. You aren't leading anything. Giving yourself a nickname you saw on Twitter doesn't mean it is meant for you unless you prove it. You've given no one a reason to believe that you will be the face of this company going forward, but do you know who has?
Me.
I have done all of these things even before I left and came back. Leaving just showed the entire company how much they needed me. How much potential I truly had, and now more than ever, I get to show it in all of my glory... And it was going nice until I clearly messed up by picking you to step over. This week, once it's all said and done, you'll be given no choice but to move on. Because you've taken enough of my energy and even more time that I could've been using to write my story and tell the entire world how I plan to reclaim myself after my loss to TLA.
And originally, that plan had nothing to do with you. But now you are, After Voltage the name AJ Redding will be nothing more than a trivia question.
"Who did Jamie Cross defeat to regain her momentum after her loss to TLA?"
AJ Redding...and Lucius Crowe. It's not personal, Trust me. It's easy to get use to that feeling of being underestimated but one day you just need to realize your role in the company. You're not Myles, You're not Jake Smith, You're not Charlie Marr. If there wasn't lower card people, there wouldn't be any big names like them or even myself. Your sacrifice is noticed, And I do thank you for your service, But now isn't the time to become an egomaniac and try to go one step further. Now is my time, This is my match. It's designed for me, Not you. Realize that, Understand that."
