I said I
wouldn’t apologize. That was a slight
untruth. I will apologize to a few
individuals.
First, I
apologize to my uncle, Glenn Braddock.
You have been more than just my trainer.
You inspired me to keep going in this industry. You inspired me not to give up so
easily. What I have to say will no doubt
be a disappointment for you. I
apologize.
To my agent,
Dr. Henry Van Stanton, you busted your bloody ass trying to get me
opportunities and chances in this industry.
Now for me to say this, to say what I am about to say, you will be
disappointed as well. I apologize.
To my
sister, Gloria Marie Noel, better known to the wrestling world as Glory
Braddock, I apologize for saying something that you would never have said in
your illustrious career. Hopefully this
won’t taint our good name.
Finally, to
my mother, to Aphrodite Noel, I apologize for not living up to the lofty Noel
standards.
The fact is
that I’ve analyzed the current standings in the Queen of the Ring League. As much as UWA, Drew Bryant, and David Helms
would love to make you think that this is still competitive and that this is
still anyone’s ball game, because a competitive tournament sells more tickets,
the fact of the matter is that some of are done.
Grace
Morningwood is done. She has two more
matches to go and she’d have to win both and everyone else lose in order for
her to even TIE for first and that is mathematically impossible. So Grace, my opponent for next Outbreak, is
already mathematically eliminated from the tournament.
Sorry,
Gracie…
Gracie is at
the bottom of the leader board. Second
from the bottom is me, her opponent for Outbreak as we face off in another
match in the Queen of the Ring League. I
have one point from a draw with Selena
Frost and a loss to Siqua. At the
top you have Siqua with four points, from beating me and Grace. Then in second you have Selena with three
points, from a draw with me and a victory over Kathryn Pearson.
Now how does
that look for me? Well let’s see, if
Siqua lost her next two matches to Selena Frost and to Kathryn Pearson, she’d
finish with four points. And if Selena Frost
beat Siqua but lost to Grace, she’d finish with five points. And I have two matches left, against Grace
next Outbreak and finally against Kathryn Pearson. If I were to win both I’d add four more
points to my total, making for five points.
That is the
only scenario in which I can tie for first place. There is NO scenario in which I can win. So
out of all of the possible scenarios and all of the possible outcomes of this
tournament, what are the odds that this ONE scenario will take place?
The odds are
not good.
I will show
up and compete, not because I want to, but because I am contractually obligated
to finish this tournament. And that’s
the only reason I’m doing this.
Once again,
I apologize to the aforementioned individuals.
You deserved better from me and I let you down. To the rest of you, I offer no
apologies. This is just the way it is
going to be for the duration of the Queen of the Ring League.
Good luck to
Grace. Who knows? We may end up having the match of the night?
