A Flight:
Going into the ground over the barricade? I didn’t want that in my first match at all but I created a moment right? Isn’t that what I wanted a moment. Sometimes a moment happens like this and you don’t want it too but like I said it was a moment nonetheless.
I walked into the arena and got to the locker room and found myself thinking wondering if the fans remembered me. Wondering if the fans kept talking about me after Unstoppable or I was just an afterthought. As I sat there thinking to myself where I needed to go or what I needed to do the camera crew came in and pointed the camera to me. I got up and just shook my head.
Luke Jackson: The moment that I wanted didn’t happen. I wanted to have my hand raised I wanted to prove everyone wrong. I wanted to show people that I could actually wrestle that I could be a big man like Matt Ward. But no it didn’t happen all that happened was that I was thrown into the stands and did a little body surfing.
I chuckled to myself but I quickly gained my composure and stared right into the camera with a look of focus and look of determination.
Luke Jackson: Now, I have heard what Matt Ward has had to say but I have things that I want to say myself and quite frankly I think that Matt Ward needs to listen pretty damn closely.
You see I know that Matt Ward is big and I know that he likes to throw his weight around and that is fine because if I was as big as he is I would do the same damn thing. I would come after everyone and I would claim loudly and proudly that I’m a big guy and I can do whatever I want to you. But as you can see I don’t have that I have speed and I have smarts something that Matt Ward doesn’t have. That is how I’m going to beat him that is the only way that I actually know how to beat him, so I’m going to have to be on top of my game to beat him, but in turn he is going to have to be on top of his game to beat me. You see what I think Matt Ward forgets to realize is that he didn’t actually beat me. I wasn’t the one that was pinned Loose Cannon was. Like I said I had a flight in that match I was in the crowd and Matt Ward capitalized on that. So maybe in other words he is pretty damn smart because I would have done the same thing. I would have made the pin and not looked the other way but he needs to keep on realizing that he didn’t beat me. He didn’t have the upper hand against me he in all honesty took out the weaker man in our match.
I start walking around the room and with every step I feel myself getting more and more confident.
Luke Jackson: This time it is a one on one match this time it will be different. Now I understand that Matt Ward is going to bring his little toy Larissa with him down to the ring. To be honest I expect that I know that he needs to have someone behind him just so he can feel more confident but that isn’t going to bother me it can’t bother me. I need to keep Larissa out of my head and just focus on Matt Ward and I will do that. This one on one match is my chance to make a bigger impact quite frankly does anyone think I’m going to beat Matt Ward?
Probably not. Everyone is talking about how Matt Ward has all of the momentum that him throwing me in the stands has him in my head. But that’s not it, Matt Ward like I said is bigger than me and I can see him throwing me in the stands again and all of that but this time it won’t matter this time if he throws me out of the ring he might want to come after me unless he wants to cheap out and beat me by countout, now I wouldn’t put that past him but if he did that what would people think of him? You see in a way Matt Ward needs this match more than me. He needs to win to keep that momentum that he has he needs to win this match to keep his moniker of the Windy City Nightmare. Because what is a nightmare if he losses to someone that he should crush? He is nothing but a weak dream that you can just brush off and move on with your day. What happens when a big man like him losses to someone like me? He losses everything that he has fought for in the short time that we have been in Missouri State Wrestling. Do I want a win? Of course I do. Every damn underdog wants to have a moment wants to have their hand raised and smile at everyone that doubted them. Think about the 1980 Olympics the US wasn’t supposed to be the USSR but it happened. We still talk about it to this day but what would have happened if the USSR trashed the US like they were supposed to? Would we be talking about it? No, we wouldn’t be. I want to be someone that is talked about after this match and it won’t be because of a flight it will be because of how I beat a bigger man. How Davey actually beat Goliath when he wasn’t supposed to. Oh I know it sounds cliché when I say this but do you believe in miracles?
I walk towards the door and put the cold doorknob in my hand and smile at the camera.
Luke Jackson: Because I do believe in them and because of that it is going to give me hope in this match. I know I’m not supposed to win but the fans in this arena are going to want to see it, they are going to want to be part of history. This is going to be huge for me and huge for MSW everyone loves the underdog story and that is what this is and that is what this is going to be. I want to have it like this I need to have it like this because it is going to be fun walking down to that ring and waiting for Matt Ward to come down to the ring and look me in the face and I will look back at him and I will say believe in something believe that this kid can beat the Windy City Nightmare, hell I know that he can probably beat me 9 times out of 10. But this match he won’t beat me, he doesn’t have anyone else to pin he just has me to pin. Another thing is that when he put me in those stands he gave me a fire that I needed to come out with. He gave me thoughts in my head that no matter what I love this, I love wrestling and that is how I’m going to beat Matt Ward. He can bring all of his strength and he can bring Larissa and everything else he wants to bring. I’m going to bring myself and I’m going to walk in that ring with a miracle in my mind and it is going to happen. But if it doesn’t does it really actually matter? Probably not. But all and all I’m going to give my best and Matt Ward is going to have to bring his because if he slips up I will beat him and everyone will be talking about The Kid.
I smile and I open the door and I walk out. This was a moment a miracle that I wanted that I needed and I was going to do everything in my power to make it happen. I knew that it might be a longshot and all of that. I have heard it all week that I wasn’t going to win that I had no shot and all of that. And maybe I believed that but it doesn’t matter because all I need is 3 seconds…
