Sitting at her slick black office desk, dressed in a baggy Iron Man T-shirt with her brownish hair being held together by a hair clip, her eyeliner falling down from her eyes, and her fingernails painted a sparkling red. Jamie Cross looks down at the journal that was left open on her desk following her last video for Elite Answers Wrestling. She adjusts herself in her chair before looking down and re-reading her words from last time.
After a few moments, she picks her Captain America-themed pen back up, clicking it to open the pen before putting it on paper and starting to write. But much like last time, we don't see her speaking. We hear her voice echo through a voice recording, with a stressed tone in her voice. Reading each and every line of the page as she writes it in real time, we see a first-person view of her handwriting. She first starts by titling the top of the second page, across from her starting page.
She writes...
"Dear Piff Fumador,"
"I've told my story already; I told everyone where I was prior to leaving Elite Answers Wrestling for a short period, and I told everyone my plan upon my return. But I don't think a lot of you understood how truly grateful I am to be here today. Most people struggle to be given one chance at their dream, but I've been lucky enough to be given a second chance—a second chance to write my wrongs and tell my story my way, not someone else's. It's truly a blessing to me. It made me feel like I was Captain America returning in Infinity War with a new attitude and a new look. Which is exactly what I did; I didn't change; I just changed my mission; I just changed my motives. I'm still the same Jamie Cross that smiles sometimes and is just as big of a Marvel fan as some of you. I'm still the Jamie Cross that wants to be a rolemodel for fans across the world to open up and follow their dreams; I'm just taking a different path to it, and I know some people won't like it, but it's okay. Because this is my story after all, but as much as I push the "Main Character" narrative, I realize people will come into my story with no purpose in it, or even no purpose in it. Do you know those characters who are in books or movies who are simply there to be on the cover of the book or in the trailer of the movie?
That's the vibe I get from someone like Piff Fumador. Now, in all honesty, Piff is returning to Elite Answers Wrestling. He's in the shoes I am in right now. Basically basic to square one: back on the scene, just trying to get my name in the history books, just trying to establish myself in the long list of top names in this company, names like Bethany Blue. Credited, Piff returned on the scenes here during my departure. So truly, I am unfamiliar with his recent work. But with no offense, I don't think in the few weeks I was gone, recollecting myself and figuring out what I truly bring to the table, figuring out who the Jamie Cross of last season was. I don't think during that time you've done anything that adds value to my story. Although you are a former New Breed Champion, That interests me because I've had my own history with the New Breed Championship.
A year ago, when I arrived on the scene's Elite Answers wrestling for the very first time, very quickly I was thrown to the wolves and given a shot at Caroline for the New Breed Championship... Words can't describe how badly I busted my ass. Wanting to walk out of that match as the New Breed Champion, and within my first few months here, calling myself a champion, I spent weeks training with the best trainers in the world. While also doing back-and-forths with Caroline for an entire week. Caroline said a lot to me, and that was honestly very true. I'd go so far as to say Caroline understood me better than I understood myself. I was just naive and didn't want to think she was right. But if I had listened to Caroline almost a year ago, I'd probably be standing here as champion by now, and my face would be all over the place. We could sit here and imagine what Jamie Cross's career would look like if I listened to Caroline and changed my ways early on. But that would be like trying to bring back a dead relative. It's not going to happen. It's impossible to bring it to reality... So why waste time on it?
Piff, You're simply the first page of the first chapter in my story. A chapter built on the climb back to the top of EAW, a victory over you would hopefully put me back in a title picture, and I can check off the first mistake to correct, and that's failing in a championship match. I finally did what Caroline said I needed to do: open myself up and do what I needed to do to get the job done. You're not a side character, thankfully, Piff. You're just the first character to come and go within the first chapter. And I mean, that will show no disrespect to you and everything you've accomplished here in the past. But you left for a while. You turned around and walked off. This story isn't about your redemption arc of getting back the New Breed Championship; it's a redemption arc for me, getting what I've never had but have shown that I deserve. I don't care if it's the New Breed Championship. Or, hell, maybe I get my revenge for the Specialist Championship. Really, whatever championship I see first, because if you wave a championship in front of me, I might just alter the story of my book to include you. In terms of our goals, we're very much alike, Piff. But I need it just a bit more. You've had the spotlight. Now it's my turn. Now it's my turn to be the main character in the title scene.
Not yours."
Jamie takes her pen off the paper, Laying it down on the desk as she closes the journal shut, And the feed is cut.
