At the CCPE Arena at the Velvet Rabbit in Las Vegas, we see Amy Harrison walk on stage. Wearing a green dress, and white shoes, Amy needs to get this off her chest in order to go further.
Amy: Good Evening.
The judges nod and say good evening.
Amy; There was a question asked to everyone in the competition. The question was, “Who would we fight, dead or alive? ''. I was hesitant in trying to figure out who, though, there was one I need to mention.
She keeps her eyes straight on the judges.
Amy: Tonight, I need to bring awareness, tonight I need to let you know about my past. Tonight, I speak as Amy Lynn Richards.
The judges nod at this with Amy taking a deep breath.
Amy: The person that I would like to face off with in the ring is someone by the name of Michaela Jameson. Now, I know you may have never heard of her before, and for reasons I'll explain in a bit, there's a reason why that's the case. However, the reason why I would want to face her in the ring isn't one of those "I want to prove I'm better than her" things that I'm sure you all have heard numerous times already today. No, this is something more personal than that, and if you don't mind, I would like to explain what happened.
Amy takes a deep breath.
Amy: So, Michaela was a wrestler that used to work with me in another promotion we both used to be in. She can in a couple years after I did, and at first, she seemed to have a good bit of promise when she arrived. She was someone that I got to know a good bit after a while, or at least I thought I knew a good bit about her, and we did hit it off.
Amy: After a while, we did get close and started to get a bit more relaxed around her...... I guess you could say I got too relaxed with her. I thought it would just be something fun to do and we could have a good time......... but then she was taking it too far. I basically lost control of the whole situation and she basically did everything that she wanted to do, no matter what I had to say about the situation.
Amy: I won't go too far into what exactly happened, but after everything stopped and the dust had settled, I pretty much found out that I was pretty much damaged after that, and in some cases, beyond repair. She basically took advantage of me, saw nothing wrong in what she did, tried to feign ignorance in any wrongdoing and just tried to shrug it off as if it was nothing.
She gets choked up inside. The judges are watching while Amy keeps strong.
Amy: I can't shrug it off. That changed me, and not for the better. After that happened, I felt like I lost it mentally. I became a nervous wreck at times, I was more paranoid around people, afraid to drop my guard for anything, for any reason, for any time. I even had trouble trying to sleep at some times because the thought of what happened would keep coming back into my mind.
Amy: After a little while, I started to lose control of my life, I had trouble trying to cope with everything going on, and it led me to a pretty dark place, leading me to do some things that I'm definitely not proud of, and might have caused more damage to me in the long run, but at the time, I tried to do anything that I thought would make me feel better, just to try to control myself.
We see tears roll down Amy’s face. She keeps her composure the whole time.
Amy: In all honesty, when all of that happened and I realised what had happened to me, it basically broke me. Looking back, that ended up being the starting point to me basically going into a very dark place in my life. Even though I was still having some success in wrestling, everything around it started to break down.
Amy: The event basically broke me. It changed how I was around people, those that I knew, those that I trusted, those that I loved. I started basically shielding myself against everyone I knew, I was afraid of dropping my guard and risking someone hurting me the same way, and that ended up including those that were the closest to me.
Amy: I shut out my family, I shut out my sister, and at times, I even shut out my husband at the time.
Amy closes her eyes. Her face burning up knowing how hard this is.
Amy: Now that I look back at everything that has happened, it does bring up some very mixed feelings. I can’t forget the hurt that was caused by her. The betrayal that I experienced does hit deep, and it’s not something that I can easily shrug off. Even if I wanted to, it’s damaged me nearly beyond repair, both physically and emotionally. That’s not going away, and I’ve accepted that.
Amy: But when I also look back at everything that has happened, I see how the two of us have progressed since that event. For all intents and purposes, she’s disappeared. I don’t know anything that she’s done in the last few years. I don’t even know where she’s living, what she’s done, even if she’s still wrestling. For everyone else, she’s effectively nothing more than a memory, someone that came and went. I know she tried to make it big, but I can at least smile a little bit knowing that she’s failed and is forgotten.
A smile comes across her face. Everything is coming to a close.
Amy: As for me? I was able to rebuild myself, my personal relationships, my wrestling career, hell, my whole life. I was in a bad place, but I was able to get out of the darkness, and reestablish myself, both inside the ring and outside.I was able to make a name for myself again and win championships and be a success again. I was able to remarry and have my own family to be a part of. I’m in a good place now.
Amy smiles knowing that she’s in a good place with Johnny.
Amy: If I had a chance to see her again, I would show her just how much she hurt me, but also know that at the end of the day, I was able to have the last laugh. I can tell her that I was able to be something again while she ended up being nothing but a faded memory, a forgotten nightmare, a footnote of my life, and if she had the guts to ever try stepping in the ring again against me, I would show her just how much she hurt me emotionally by hurting her even more physically. I wouldn’t hold back, I’d give her every single bit of pain and anguish that she deserved, just like all of the suffering that she put me through.
Amy: You want to talk about personal rivalries or personal grudges, this is as personal as it gets. You don’t fuck with someone’s life and get away with it easily, and if I ever get a chance to get her in the ring, I will have no problem showing her just how bad she fucked up messing with me.
As Amy finishes, a loud standing ovation is heard. After a long thirteen years, Amy was finally able to let go of the pain she was holding.
Amy: Good Evening.
The judges nod and say good evening.
