Cute photo right? Oh, I'm sorry. Were you expecting the typical fade from black intro typical of an Atty promo. No Doves, none of that. Not this time. We have a title to take and while I love pouring honey into your ears and watching your knees buckle in hope of a sight me we have make it absolutely clear to one Samuel Chatman that we mean business this round.
You see the woman beside me. That is one Betsy Granger. The Brain to my Pinky and without doubt my absolute best friend in the world. She and I have experienced a lot of similiar obstacles in this business and she and I have overcome them all. I would love nothing more than to have her here with me.
The Goddess and The Impossible Traveler, we would take this company to new heights...I'm giddy just thinking about it. You have no idea. One time we teamed and as soon the roster found out they went straight to work trying to tear us down, tear us apart...but they didn't.
What's the point you ask?
The point is this. She's not here. Unlike the majority of this roster I stand on my own two feet here. Unlike my opponent I don't have friends and family in the back, no support what's so ever and it's with good reason.
James Raven, the whole reason I'm in this business and my dear friend's other half. He's a fucking legend in this business. I have had a love hate relationship with this man since I was a teen. I followed his every move until I signed with XWF over a year ago and damn near begged him til I finally got a match. He wrecked my shit Sam, but in the end I earned his respect and I like to think the respect of many other legends and greats in this business. They beg me now. Not him, but others. A snap of my fingers Chatman and this place would be littered with the whose who of wrestling. That's what I bring to the table as the face of this company...but I don't.
And with good reason.
I could go on and on about all the people I know and all the people I would love to see here but unless they come of there own volition you won't see me reach out.
I don't need them here. I can't have them here because Fade 2 Black is about me Chatman.
"All my haughtiness, my high handed nature, my vanity. The impenitent way I express my sexuality. It's my character, the Atty for the fans. It's a shield for me, to keep part of myself private. A delusion for them to have something cheer. [/div]
The fans are better at keeping the two seperate. Regrettably, I'm not and it almost cost me dearly in my career. People were hurt. More than physically, you have to work harder outside the ring I think, especially to build relationships. Lasting ones are not to be taken for granted. Not everyone is as succesful...in the end all they have are people who experienced it with them. The memories."
-Excerpt from yet conducted future interview of Atara Themis-
Even with that security barrier, that 4th wall we strive so hard not to break, fans remain insatiable. They want more. They want to see more, hear more, know more...they want all of us. The public, the private, to carry a brand you have to be willing to sacrifice all of it. It's not about wins and losses. It's not about championships. It's about access.
They want the one thing we can never get back. The one thing we will never have in excess. The one thing we don't even know that we'll have tomorrow.
Time.
I live for that energy Samuel. People can say whatever they want about me, disagree and argue about my accomplishments, but in that one singular fact no one can deny. I'm brutally and openly honest about that fact. The adulation, the attention, that energy is what I crave most.
They worship me and in return I can give all the access they handle. I'll put it in layman, terms you can understand. As Serotonin said, the Bottom Bitch. Not just an attention whore, but THE attention whore. Or better yet, since you fancy yourself a wolf, The Alpha Bitch. I've educated others on this fact and now I give this lesson to you. I drive the conversation. My radiance brings you from the darkest umbra.
Cut ties at a moments notice, risk relationships, bury friendships, I can do it. I have done it. I will most likely do it again.
I grew up on the myths of my country, Chatman. Those tales that you in all your illiteracy butchered on Twitter. My people invented tragedy. We are full aware that there is no glory without sacrifice. Read them, read them all...not one happy ending came without the expense of misfortune.
I have that ability Samuel. I have the luxury of knowing already I will burn bridges, lose things I care about, I will stumble and will fall but ultimately they will cry my name and I will be forever immortalized.
I'm not about legacy. Not about accolade. I aim higher, I aim for nothing short of deification.
Can you say the same. Are you willing to risk the date nights, the daddy day trips, time with boo? Are you willing to peel back the curtain and let these people into your very real life. Expose yourself for the two timing piece of shit you are.
These people will put their faith in you Samuel. Their trust to give them that escape of reality we all need right now. Complete strangers...you couldn't even give it to the mother of that darling girl.
Your own dog...can't believe I'm saying this...your own dog even knows you're a two bit player in the grand scheme. You don't have what it takes and this isn't some lecture from one of the OG's as you like to call them.
This is the new age telling you your 15 minutes is up. That blip in time is gone and you're not getting it back. Clap back with that puerile reality TV bullshit if you want...truth is truth Dove.
You've already exhausted the scouting video real, we've met once and all that you can't throw out the window. I learn and adapt. I'm not that illiterate thing I faced last week and I'm not one your hollaback boys on Twitter. Not Aiden Romero. No backstage BS, no bullshit cult. I'm the face of Voltage Dove. It's just me and my adoring public. You can't escape the reality of what's about to happen. I'm taking that belt in front of your fiance, in front of your daughter...truth is truth.
My name is Themis. My word Divine Law, not even Gods can challenge me….
