 I must use that to my advantage, Katherine thought to herself as she sat alongside her trainer, Mick. Together they reviewed match footage from Claire Hawkinsβ previous title defence against Jason Cain. Mickβs enthusiasm peaked as they watched Hawkins dropped face-first onto the guard rail. Then moments later, receiving a DDT onto the ring apron - causing a laceration to her head. Mick paused and rewound the footage, highlighting the importance of Katherine targeting Claireβs head. However, she felt a sense of pity, it made her feel sad seeing someone she once admired now struggling to cling onto the one remaining thing that kept her relevant - the Television Championship. The pity she felt soon faded though as Katherine quickly refocused on the importance of not letting personal feelings cloud her judgement. As much as she was a good, honest person; Katherine was fiercely competitive and longed to be Television Champion in her own right. Claire wouldnβt be one-hundred percent, the laceration needed time to heal - it would have to be exploited. She knew deep down this would be her best chance to become the forty-second Television Champion in Action Wrestling History. Katherine felt a vibration in her pocket, she discreetly removed her phone and glanced at the screen - an unknown caller. She let it ring out and continued to watch Mickβs dissection of Claire Hawkins. My lord, watching that footage of you Claire being beaten down by Jason was hard going. That image of you wearing a crimson mask is tough to shake. Iβm pleased you narrowly won though; becoming Television Champion is a dream of mine - that dream includes yourself passing the torch to me. These words are said as a sign of respect; youβre the only four-time Television Champion in this company's history - you are rightfully synonymous with it. Respect is earned; you have my respect, but I know heading into our match youβll not share the same courtesy. No doubt Iβll be subjected to an abuse-ladened tirade, perhaps how a rookie wonβt be able to usurp yourself. Maybe I should go home and drink some more tea - christ if I had a pound for every time I heard that line. The lack of respect is often the reason for your own downfall - that and complacency. Weeks of under-par challengers such as Johnny Dangerously could lead to one growing somewhat complacent. And every now and then - you get caught off guard. Underestimating your opponents can be fatal, being a four-time champion means you lost the belt three times, maybe you should have paid Roger Payton Jr, Ash Blake and Neo a little more respect - and now myself. I actually respect you a lot, Claire; I spent the best part of an afternoon watching Mick dissect your last seven matches, ensuring Iβm ready to face you. Be rest assured though - Iβve been following your career for years. I remember seeing you dive off the top of a steel cage onto Walter - and I also recall you floating down a river in a barrel... It feels like you treat this Television Championship division as a safety blanket of sorts - yes. Once in a while, youβll pop up and try to better yourself, but quickly fail and return to this level - to your safety blanket. But itβs ok - every company needs a gatekeeper. I want you to bring the Claire Hawkins I watched last week. Early reports say Hawkins versus Cain was potentially Match of the Year - I know we can have a better match together. Bring that Claire, not the bitter and angry at the world one whoβs almost been corrupted by the title - akin to Gollum being corrupted by the ring. I want the best version of yourself possible because this is such a big moment for me. Like I said before, I love this championship so much. When I close my eyes right now - I can picture myself with that gorgeous championship draped over my shoulderβ¦  Katherine Hasting - The forty-second Action Wrestling Television Champion I want to celebrate the tradition of the Television Championship - I want to defend the belt against anyone and everyone. And Iβll do it with the utmost respect for my opponents, whilst also actually looking happy and pleased to be in the ring. Respecting that tradition is everything - your respect died long ago. It should feel like a privilege having that championship belt strapped around your waist - itβs not a millstone around your neck. The session with Mick today got me both focused and motivated for the task ahead. I might be a nice person, but Iβm competitive as hell - having two older brothers does that to you. I compete to win, and Iβve always wanted your championship, Claire, so we both know Iβm bringing my A-game Sunday night. Youβre not going to be one hundred percent; your head took somewhat of a pounding from Cain - Iβm going to kick it! Donβt you bloody dare try and mist me, my reflexes are lightning-fast. Iβll have connected with a spin kick to your jaw before that filth has passed through your lips, youβll be left to choke on whatever that stuff is - just like when you choked against all the other promising individuals who passed through this division. You're twisted, bitter little man syndrome has cast a dreary shadow over this division long enough. Iβm not passing through this division like the forty-one champions before me - Iβm coming to showcase it to the whole wrestling world proudly as number forty-two. As Katherine was preparing to leave the gym, her phone rang once more - an unknown caller again. She pondered whether it might be Sue from the Philidor gym, her anxieties had been raised since visiting the facility last week. Or perhaps Lissie - attempting to reconcile. Hesitantly, she answeredβ¦ βOhβ¦ Spencer Adams! I wasnβt expecting a call from youβ¦β  |
