As we both prepare for our matches this week, Jaice and I are finishing up some of the furnishings for the base. Jaice seems to have a bit of a ticked off look on his face. Something I’m not used to seeing very often.
Jaice: Nothing, L. I’m fine.
L Verez: Are you certain? Something seems the matter.
Jaice: Honestly? I’m feeling kinda shit, at the moment. You won your title, Claire won her match, and Kidsgrove is holding two belts. Me? I lost, yet again. Those masked weirdos didn’t even get in the way this time. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong.
L Verez: I’m unsure, Jaice. You’re a fantastic competitor. Maybe you just need to go on a different venture. Go after a different championship.
Jaice: I dunno, L… I’m just not sure anymore.
L Verez: Don’t give up, Jaice. You just need to find an opportunity that will help motivate you more. Meanwhile, we’ll figure out this mask situation.
Jaice: I know we will. Don’t worry about me, though. I’ll be alright. You go worry about kicking Bishop’s ass again. Just hope they don’t pit us against each other for that gold, because I might just snatch it from you.
L Verez: I’m always honored to face you, Jaice. I hope you’re well.
Jaice: Like I said, I’m fine. Girl, you’re the main event this week! You finally got some gold around your waist. Focus on yourself. You deserve it.
Jaice made a good point. I get so worried about others that I tend to forget to focus on myself and my own worries. I’m still worried sick about Zima. Maybe I shouldn’t be. I’m a champion now. I have a main event title defense. I need to recalculate my priorities.

As the purple ring from the Holo glows the barren bunker room, I carry my Action Wrestling Television Championship over my shoulder with pride.
L Verez: My, my, my… the moment I obtain the Television Championship, my first title defense is scheduled for the main event of Clash this Monday. I know for certain that isn’t because I’m facing Bishop once again. From what I remember, none of his title defenses came close to being main event matches, and for good reason. Why does Bishop get another shot at the Television Championship anyway? My win last week was a decisive one. I have already proven multiple times why I’m better than Bishop. Could the higher ups not think of anyone better for me to face, or are they desperate to have their favorite “monster” win the same championship he’s fought for since he entered the fray? I suppose I have to teach Bishop a lesson then. That lesson being: so long as I hold this title, he will be unable to touch it any longer. Why? For the simple fact that Bishop is not in my league. I’ve proven why that is multiple times. Bishop cannot touch me, and therefore cannot touch this title.
Last week, I touched on why this is the year of the Guardians. Revolution 2 was proof of that. We have our first dual champion in Sam Kidsgrove. US and International Champion. A feat no one else has been able to achieve in Action Wrestling. Claire Hawkins won her match against Ace Dillinger as well. Then I added icing to the cake when I won two matches in one night. Not only did I defeat Rose once again, just like I said I would, but I then went on to defeat Bishop… again… just like I said I would do. This is the start of the reign of the Guardians. Now here we are, with my title defense being the main event of Clash. This is because of my worth, my value, what I bring to the table. I’m the one that defeated Corey Black three times. I’m the one that defeated Roy Speede, and took people like Spencer Adams, Sidney Warwick, and Casey Holliday to their limits.
Let’s look at how I defeated Bishop last week. I didn’t even use Celestial Descent or Finite. I used a triangle choke, and made the “monster” pass out. He wasn’t even smart enough to tap. I took the life force out of a man more than twice my size. His career was in the palm of my hands. That isn’t the sign of a monster. That isn’t a being that’s unable to tamed. That’s the sign of a weakling, but even worse, one with a low IQ. He didn’t even have the wherewithal to go for the ropes or tap out. Live to fight another day. That saying exists for good reason. Just imagine how much damage I could have caused internally. Does anyone honestly think he has the ability to defeat me, especially after that performance? I may not be as strong as him, but I have definitely proven to be the smarter competitor, and I have no doubt that I am quicker, both physically and mentally.
I’ll be honest, I’m not even close to nervous about this match. Why should I be? Why should I be afraid of someone that I have beaten multiple times? Bishop is going to need to go for a different championship, because as long as I hold this championship, he has no hopes of being a four time champion. I hope, after I defeat Bishop, that I get some fresh, fierce competition. I want to face hungry talent, and make the Television Title more prestigious than it’s ever been. I want this championship to be main event worthy, just like how my match is the main event this week. First, I need to make an example out of Bishop. Then, I break barriers, and make this championship mean something, not just to me or the higher ups, but to the Action Wrestling Universe!
