"Everybody underestimates me."
Despite a smile being on the face of Kelly James, as she stood before the camera, it was clear that it was a hollow one. Her eyes, filled with intensity, also shared a bit of sadness, as she reflected on the things she had heard from her opponents, for Damnation and a Day, thus far.
"No matter what I do, no matter how honest I am... No matter how I've already won the Xtreme Chaos Championship twice, people look down on me as if I'm nothin'. Honestly, I should be used to it by this point, but I'd be lyin' if I said it still didn't hurt.
Take Francisco Lopez, for example. I've literally accomplished what he has never been able to, twice, and he still insists I'm 'not ready' for this. He speaks of me as if I'm some insignificant speck... As if I'm not actually a threat to him at all, in this match. Now, keep in mind, he's pretty much the reason I lost the championship in the first place, considerin' he was the one that couldn't hold his own when I left him in the ring alone with Nightmare for a few moments at Super Brawl... No, he doesn't want to recognize that. Instead, he'd rather belittle me and look down on me because I'm just some girl to him, and, well... We know how he looks down on women, atleast.
Take Nightmare, the champion himself. He pretends to respect the things I've done, for all of five seconds, before he starts goin' in about how I can't 'fluke' my way to a victory, as if that's all I've ever done, here. For somebody who is only the champion because he was a quarter of a second quicker than me, he sure seems ready to dismiss me as the 'fluke' he and others seem determed to insist I am. I accept the platitudes, sure, but I see through them, too, and there's a reason certain words spoken stick out more than others.
Then there's Disturbed, of course. Oh, Disturbed... What can I even say about that guy? Last time we heard him speak, he was runnin' his mouth about the fact that I, well... Don't run my own mouth, as much as he does, as if that was some kind of insult. Listen, if everybody ran their mouth as much as Disturbed does, we'd all go deaf. The guy loves to hear himself speak, proclaimin' how much he 'deserves' certain things, despite the fact that he so often comes up short. Hell, last thing he said about me was tryin' to chastise me for not talkin' myself up like he does... Except, you know, he said it literally after I had already said my peace. Why he spewed out that garbage, anyway, even after already bein' wrong... Who knows? Maybe he's not capable of callin' an audible, I don't know. Regardless, he made it damn clear what he thinks of me, and it sure isn't much.
Hell, the only person to truly say anythin' positive about me was Joe Summers, and, well... He's a guy that seems like he'll break out into hives if he doesn't find somethin' positive to say about his opponents, so while I appreciate and respect it... It doesn't really change things much, does it?
At the end of the day, my opponents, and so many others out there, underestimate me. At the end of the day, my opponents, and so many others, look down on me, and think I have no way of comin' out of this Elimination Champion as the champion. They think this, even despite the fact that... If I do walk away the champion, it wouldn't even be my first time, no... It'd be my third. Still, though, they underestimate me. Still, though, they look down on me. Still, they think I'm just little good for nothin' Kelly James. I'm no Disturbed. I'm no Nightmare, or Joe Summers. I'm not fuckin' Johnny Rocket.
Do you know what I am, though, no matter how much they look down on me?
I'm Kelly fuckin' James. I'm the same Kelly James who defeated Mud Mouth not once, but twice, to win the Xtreme Chaos Championship. I've the same Kelly James who has found ways to rebuke the threat of Disturbed, even if I've yet to truly break through that wall. I'm the same Kelly James who, almost within three months of debutin', won a twenty person battle royal to earn a shot at the Xtreme Chaos Championship in the first place. And do you know who was also in that match, on that night? Francisco Lopez was in that match. Joe Summers was in that match. Disturbed was in that match. I overcame all three to earn my championship opportunity, no matter who may try to take that away from me. And if I overcame them once, well... Should anybody really be doubtin' that I can do it again?
You can underestimate me... You can doubt and belittle me all you want, but at the end of the day, I got shit done. I won that battle royal to become the Xtreme Chaos Champion. I proved myself, no matter what anybody else wants to say. Francisco Lopez wants to doubt that I'm ready for this... But who the fuck is he, to say that, when I've already done the very thing he desires so badly to do... Twice? Who the fuck is he to say what anybody else is ready for, when he has never gotten the job done? Disturbed can say I never even deserved my shot... But who the fuck is he to say that, when I bested him to get it, in the first place? Who the fuck is he to even say he deserves this shot over me, when it was practically handed to him because he wouldn't stop throwin' tantrums? Nightmare can suggest I need to fluke in to victories... But who the fuck is he, to say that, when he wouldn't even be the champion if I had just been even a half of a second quicker? Who the fuck is he to even say what is or isn't a fluke, when he hasn't even defended the title yet?
You want to call me a fluke? You want to say I'm not ready for this? You want to suggest I don't deserve this? Fuckin' prove it, mates. Sunday is your chance. At Damnation and a Day, you'll have your chance to shut me up... But can you actually do it? You all can talk, but who the fuck are any of you to say anythin' about me, when I've proven myself time and time again, often in your very face? Who are any of you to tell me who I am, or what I should be, when none of you have ever truly been able to stop me? You look down on me, you belittle what I've accomplished it... Well, I'm damn near on the cusp to do it again, if you can't back up your damn words and actually stop me! Look down on me, belittle me... At this point, if I'm bein' honest, I couldn't care less. I know who I am, and I know what I can do. I'm Kelly James, and I've been the champion more than any of you have in the last several months... So who should be lookin' down on who, truly?
You want to push me? Fine. You want to mock me? Fine. You want to disrespect me? Fine. Keep doin' it. When Damnation and a Day comes, and that Chamber finally gets taken down, well... We'll see where that pushin' got you. We'll see where that mockin' got you. We'll see where that disrespectin' got you. You better hope it's one of you that's holdin' that title, when all is said and done, because if it's me, well... The whole lot of you will look pretty damn foolish, now won't ya?
As for me? Well... I plan to make fools of you all, doin' it my own way. I plan to show you why the name Kelly James should mean more than any other name, to you... And I plan to show you why, the next time we all speak, you'll be beggin' just to even be able to put my name into a sentence with yours, because I plan to win this Chamber and leave no shadow of a doubt why I shouldn't be the one bein' underestimated...
I should be the one lookin' down on all of you, for even takin' me lightly in the first place.
Maybe you'll learn somethin', this time."
