vs. Grace Morningwood
John Lydon
once said, “It's no good being nice and young and naive. There's no good in
that at all. You've got to do it all yourself, and you've gotta learn quick.
And you can't look for sympathy either.”
Amen,
John! Amen!
I was once
like you, Gracie. I was a nice, young, naïve
little girl in this industry, a girl who saw the good in everyone and
everything. I thought I could make a
difference in society through my actions, through my words.
But I
learned the hard way that this business is cutthroat, mean, and nasty. I
learned the hard way that heroes do not succeed in real life. Only in fantasy, only in the realm of the comic
book, television, or movies does the hero always win, giving the audience a feel
good story to go home with.
That’s just
not how it works in reality.
In reality
the villains usually win, Gracie.
Why? Because the villains are
willing to do whatever it takes to accomplish their goal. Even the supposed “heroes” of the world are
tainted. Donovan Kayl, Shaun Cruze, and
others recently jumped William Mason from behind on a Supreme Championship
Wrestling show. Granted, William may not
have been a good guy; you could even classify him as a villain if you wanted,
but do the good guys engage in gang assaults?
Now don’t
get me wrong, I’m not necessarily taking Mason’s side, neither am I condemning
the gang assault. I’m just saying that
sometimes you have to do whatever you have to do to get ahead. I’m saying that you have to see the world for
what it really is. You have to open your
eyes and realize that everyone is tainted.
You may win
friends acting the way you do, Gracie, but those friends will walk all over you
all day long. Those friends, unbeknownst
to you, will use you. Just as my
friends, my own family even, used me and then, when I needed them the most,
ignored me.
No one will
walk over me or use me any longer.
Gracie, you
have already had a preview of what the new Melanie McBride is capable of, the
Melanie McBride that evolved from the sweet, kind, and very naïve child into
the dangerous woman you see before you now.
Evolution is a powerful force that not only rescued my wrestling career
from obscurity, but has saved my life as well.
Evolution is
preparing to pass you by, Melanie. You
will either evolve or natural selection will choose to eliminate you as the
weakling that you truly are.
