Bad Reputation

A journey of broken bones, a busted spleen, and rusty pipes

Birthday post

My birthday was yesterday, and having a birthday so close after new years eye I tend to reflect my last year on my birthdays rather than the year change.

At the end of the year there seemed to be an internet consensus that 2015 blew goats. I actually really enjoyed 2015 despite its hardships, heart breaks, and losing people that said they would always be there for me. There were days that I cried my eyes out and kept myself secluded. There were also days that I smiled from ear to ear and was surrounded by friends. Ying and yang, I guess.  

There was so much bad this year. I lost friends to suicide, cancer, lost a woman that was like a mother to  me, the world wrestling lost some fine people, friendships fell apart...so much crap. 

With a last quarter of the year being one of the worst times of my life that I had in a long while, I still found a way to try and remember all the good and honestly shed a few tears of gratitude when reflecting. I think about all I was fortunate enough to do with wrestling in 2015 and can’t help but feel thanks. From being granted a Heavyweight championship match against Willie Mack for AWS, to getting to wrestle LuFisto, Candice LeRae, Tito Escondido, just about every guy at the Santino Bros dojo, being able to participate in the Young Lions Cup, debuting for The Crash, wrestling at the Gathering of the Juggalos, debuting at Rockstar Pro, Wildkat Sports, winning the Premier Women’s Championship Title....I have gotten the chance to wrestle against and learn from some amazing people -  I hope that these people know that they helped shape who I am and that I am eternally grateful.

To the people who put their faith in me, the people that helped me grow, and the new friends I made - thank you for making 2015 a great year. To the people who I am no longer friends with - thank you for making me stronger or teaching me whatever lesson I needed to learn. And last, but not least, to those who have been there, that have stuck with me and continue to stick with me, thru hard times and great times, just thank you. There is not a day where someone doesn’t pleasantly surprise me by their love, compassion, or just honest friendship. I consider myself very lucky to have you by my side.

Onward to 2016: the year of adventure.

Thoughts on being up for Premier Womens Championship:

I remember when I made my debut for Premier Wrestling in 2014. I was beyond excited to wrestle for a company that has a distinct brand and maintains wrestler’s win-loss records. I knew that, though young in the sport, wrestling for Premier would require me to rethink my typical approach to wrestling and push me in a more serious, sports minded direction. One year later I returned to Premier and found that, like before, I must again go outside of my comfort zone. I have recently been informed that this November I will be one of four females competing for the first Premier Women’s championship title. This will be the first time I ever compete for a women’s title; in Southern California I have been given two title shots – neither of them were for a women’s title. To know that Premier puts its faith in me to potentially hold a title for them is overwhelming. John LaRocca is very serious about giving athletes a place to shine, and the fact that he is introducing a women’s title show that he not only recognizes local female talent, but trusts that we can bring solid matches to Premier at each show. And again, I find myself thinking beyond my normal thoughts on wrestling. I’ve been working on my grappling and submission game at my home of Santino Bros wrestling, and learning more about lucha under the tutelage of Los Luchas (Phoenix Star and Zokre). Additionally I’ve been working on cutting weight and building muscle to assist in my speed and, well, ability to throw people around…come November 28th, whoever I step in the ring with is in for a fight, be it Nicole Savoy, Kahmora, or Kikyo. I never promise a victory, but I do promise the fans of Premier Wrestling and my opponent that they are in for one hell of a match!

Hey RAZE, how you feeling about your match today?

That feeling when you hit your opponent (Tito Escondido) with his own finisher - the F5 - and the ref screws you
