You would probably think I was used to failure by now. I get so close to the one thing I long for, only to get shot down in my tracks. My last match was the last straw. My confidence level was higher than it ever was. It was through the roof. Even though I had the confidence to do it, I still got my ass handed to me. Why did that happen? It happened because confidence doesn't win you matches,
I took for granted what being a main event wrestler was about. I thought that because I had the ability to be a main event wrestler, meant I had the ability to become a World Champion. I was a fucking idiot for thinking that. Did I have the ability to be a main event wrestler? Yes. Did I have the ability to become a World Champion? No. Did I have the will power to keep trying untill I got to that level? .....Obviously not.
It's not all what the fans see on their televisions. It's hard to go out there again after losing one of the biggest matches in your career. To the fans, I'm a guy who gets in the ring, takes a beating, sometimes wins, leaves with a smile on his face, and comes back to do the same every week. It's not like that at all. It's hard to come back after you've just blown the biggest chance of your career.
I will reach World Championship status in due time. If I stick to my goals, keep my head up when things don't go my way, and focus, I should be able to do it. Being a World Champion is in my familys blood. Being competitive is in my familys blood. It's always been in the blood, and always will.
It's taken me all this time to realize how much of a let down I have been. I had the fans rooting for me, and I let them down. I had fellow superstars rooting for me, and I also let them down. I doubt they'll hold it against me.
I was suprised I was allowed back, to be honest. You could say I didn't get on too well with the New Era Wrestling staff. I wasn't really too suprised to see that Reno Frost was still running the place. Even though I don't get on with the guy, I have to admit, he's trying to make NEW succeed. He's got some determination.
One thing that has caught my attention recently, is how people are comparing this run of New Era Wrestling to it's first. In my opinion, this run is better than the first. The first run was full of wrestlers who were holding on to past achievements in other federations to get higher up the rankings. The fans seemed to take to them for things they had done in the past, too. New Era Wrestling is now full of young athletes, trying desperately to get far in this business, and are doing so. I can see this run lasting a lot longer, and being a lot better than the first.
I can see things being hard for me at first, while I get back in to the swing of things. People are probably going to wonder what I have been doing sinse I've been gone, and I'll probably tell them something exciting, when I've really done nothing.
In this run, I'm not going to hang on to things I've done in the past. I want to make sure I'm as good as I used to be, instead of being no where near the best of my ability, but still doing well because of a name, like some people I used to wrestle with in NEW did. They must have realised this, and retired, or joined a NEW federation, because none of them are on the roster. They probably think they're too good for new, which if they ARE thinking that, then they are idiots. To me, I wasn't in New Era Wrestling in the past. To me, I'm only just breaking out in the wrestling business. I have no past achievements. I either want to be at my best, or not be at all.
New Era Wrestling is the place where my career took off, and will hopefully take off again. Wrestling with the new people in the business should be awesome. Hopefully, I'll become as good as I used to be, and then in time, become better than I used to be. This time, I'm pushing to reach my peak. This time, I'm pushing to become a World Champion. I will start anywhere in the ranks, but I WILL, one day, become the New Era Wrestling Champion of the World.
