Well, this is a strange feeling. As I sit here and write this I feel foolish and just a little bit silly, unsure as to whether anyone will ever read this, or care about the thoughts revealed within. Why should they care, what do I know about the subject, I haven't been involved in the Sports Entertainment industry for over a year, and when I was I had no love for the business. There was only one reason I got involved, and stayed involved for as long as I did. It's the very same reason I put together possibly the second worst heel stable ever conceived, after The Covenant, in Global Domination, and it is one of the reasons I currently find myself sat in a grubby motel room I haven't been able to leave for over a month.
That reason, is my husband and the love of my life, Declan Prescott.
Declan saved my life, and he saved my mind, without him I would be nothing. A lot of people never saw what I saw in Declan, where they saw an arrogant, ruthless, manipulative and cunning bastard, I saw a sensitive, protective, strong and kind young man. He showed me it was ok to be vulnerable, ok to feel again, because no matter what, he would be there, he would never abandon me...
Well not for too long anyway.
So why am I writing this, well mainly because I am bored, the motel doesn't have cable, I don't have any access to the internet, the supplied blu-ray player only says 'error maybe occur', then when you try and reboot it screams 'WHO YOU THINK YOU AWW? YOU NO TOUCH BUDA!', and there is only so much cleaning a girl can do. The last time I saw Declan, it looked like he and Travis were on course to collide at Horizons, and it occurred to me the fans of UGWC might be interested in my perspective of this monumental event. So why not write them down, and get someone to deliver this to the UGWC HQ for the Horizons souvenir programme. Maybe it's fanciful thinking, but it beats thinking about the amount of marriages this bed has contributed to the downfall of.
I've known Travis for quite some time now, and he is as arrogant, self-centred, delusional and infuriating as he comes across on your screens. It was the first time Declan had ever kept anything from me, when 'The Headliner' strode through the GIW office for the first time, asserting he was the saviour of my, at the time, fiancé's fantastic company, I was unaware he and Declan had forged a plan, so ingenius that it sadly required deceiving even me, to make this company the most talked about in the industry.
Those months in the dark were frustrating at the best of times, Declan had withdrawn from the limelight, and I was left to front the company. For those of you that ever doubted it, the wrestling industry is very much a male dominated industry, can you imagine how the roster of lunatics I had at my disposal, this was in the era of Jensen, Savage and Aesc the Dark, reacted to a female boss? And if they weren't confused into drooling messes, they were like horny dogs, it barely went 48 hours without the likes of Boolzian or Chris Austin attempting to hump my leg.
However during this time, despite being a constant thorn in my side, Travis was nothing but respectful to myself and Declan. I couldn't help but be suspicious, this was a man who treated anyone he came into contact with as his subordinate, yet he was willing to accept me as his boss? Why should I trust this kind of behaviour, no-one in this industry had shown me any respect, apart from Declan, someone as self centred as 'The Blessed One' was surely luring me into a false sense of security.
And so it proved, as no long after Declan had made his return to the ring just before In Your Hands 2008, Travis declared his aim at starting a revolution, casting aside global Domination, the stable I had led, and the one Declan now intended to use as his odd job men. He declared himself 'The TWiSTeD Guerilla' , he openly questioned Declan's wisdom, and went as far as to say the hierarchy needed changing. Well at leasts that's what I heard, and I couldn't understand why Declan wasn't the slightest bit worried, of course it wasn't like Declan to be worried about anyone, but this was no Andy Savana or Brandon Brown, Travis Roberts was clearly a threat.
Komosube was announced as the public's choice to enter the Triple Threat Match for the Global Championship against Lord Deathman, the Champion representing Global Domination, and Brandon Brown, the man who had hospitalised my Declan a few months earlier, there was a great deal of shock in the hallways, everyone had been convinced Travis would be challenging them, but it was during this surprising main event that everything became clear.
Declan and Travis were both in the ring, Declan was helping Up Lord Deathman, and Travis was aiding Brandon. And then, they looked at one another and hit their respective 'partners' with their finishing moves, and then stepped aside and handed Komosube the title. This was the public birth of the Revolution, and they went on to dominate the company for the next six months, but ionr eality the plans had been laid far earlier than that.
Over that time I got to know Travis on a deeper level, and he was like family, not like a brother, more like a distant cousin with drinking problems. It was the first time I'd seen Declan really bond with anyone else, and it was joyful, I was so happy for him, and over time I grew to like Travis for who he really was. Beneath the bravado and the cutting analysis of his opponents, lies an insecure and sensitive soul, who lives to excess to ignore something buried deep away in his memories.
There is something people should know about Travis by now, and it's very similar with my husband, both of them take a long time to trust anyone. Which is why, the way Declan and Travis bonded so quickly was so surprising, both men had been hurt in the past, and it was seemingly a repeating scenario for Travis. In many ways those months were my happiest in GIW, and at the same time the very worst.
Whilst Declan and Travis grew closer, my own personal demons were growing stronger. It is not something that I want to elaborate on, but it almost ripped me and Declan apart. Throughout it all though, Travis was there, he didn't know everything, he didn't really know anything, he just knew something was wrong, he stood by us throughout it all. He never once asked us for anything, never once refused to help us.
And that's why it's regrettable it has come to this. Both Declan and I felt guilt about the way we both abandoned Travis, he had even visited me when Declan was AWOL and I was in a Psychiatric Unit, it wasn't something we did with pleasure, but no-one could know our plans. Whilst we know it must have been hard for Travis, I fear Declan feels a guilt that is irrational.
I fear that Declan fears he may have made Travis Roberts a lesser individual, that he is in some way to blame for the choices Travis has made since our departure. But it is not his fault, Travis is his own man, Travis makes his own decisions and he makes his own mistakes, he forges his own dubious alliances, and spends time acknowledging the likes of Dirge of his own free will.
Left to his own devices Travis will always take the easiest route, rather than the right one, that was true before he met Declan, and just as true now, it is in his make up, he probably forced his mother to have a caesarean section instead of climbing out of the birth canal. What quicker way to rescale the heights of the industry than by turning on your former friend, and creating a match that will overshadow any other match on this Horizons card, or any other.
One things the fans can rely on, is this match will be the epitome of what Horizons is about, these two men are the greatest to have set foot in a UGWC ring, and this will be the first time they have ever faced off in singles competition, and knowing both as I do, the UGWC fans are in for something special.
I just hope it doesn't get out of hand, I have seen what these men were capable of together, and it's a side of Declan I'd rather never see again, I am incredibly worried for Travis' safety, as I'm not sure he knows what he is getting himself into. Travis thinks he knows Declan, but in truth he has no idea what Declan can do when pushed. I have faith that Declan will keep that side removed, but without knowledge of what has been going on on this road to Horizons, I have no way of knowing just what mistakes Travis has made.
'Housekeeping' has just arrived just arrived with 'fwesh' sheets, which will no doubt need to be inspected with my portable UV lamp for any...residue, before inevitably being plunged into a bathtub full of bleach.
I hope you all enjoy Horizons, and obviously I hope my Declan triumphs, but more than anything, I hope Travis knows what he's got himself into.
