It’s been a few days since we last talked and I’ll be honest with you, I needed those few days to process and to come to terms with my own failure on the first episode of Livewire. I have someone special to introduce you to, today. Yes, it’s the woman my mom and pop have been nagging me about all of my life. Jenny Parker, no relation to Ernie as far as I know, woman of my dreams according to everyone who knows us and also the bane of my existence. She’s determined to both narrate and interview me today and because I hate it when she pouts. I hate it when she hits me too so I'm going to let her have her way.
Hello to all of you Epic Online Wrestling fans out there. It’s me, Jenny. We’ll talk about what a silly name that is for a wrestling company later but for now we’re here to get the inside scoop on Jeremiah Greyson and what he thinks about his upcoming match against the evil Declan Black. Alright, he’s really not that evil, but that’s a conversation for another day as well. Anyone want to take bets on how long Jer will spend telling us how badly he sucks and doesn’t deserve to be a part of this new company he’s working for? Yeah, he’s been that way his whole life.
Here he goes already. See how he took that big deep breath in and looked away. If we let him he’d spend all of his time talking about why Declan is going to beat him.
Now he’s giving me that frustrated look because I cut him off. Here’s a bit of advice. If you ever want to piss Jer off, just interrupt him. He won’t yell at me because I’m not afraid of him. All I have to do is smile at him and he forgets what he was mad about anyway.
“Good point, Jer.”
Told you I’d get him to open up.
And just like that, with an easy smile, I shut him up. We’ll see you all next time. Peace and love.
Jenny.
“For Christ’s sake, Jer-bear, give me the damn camera already.”
“Fine, have it your way.”

“Okay. Ready? Chin up, Jer. Shoulders back. Smile at the camera and look like you’re happy to be talking to your fans.”
“Just start it already, Jen.”
Here he goes already. See how he took that big deep breath in and looked away. If we let him he’d spend all of his time talking about why Declan is going to beat him.
“Well, I felt like I performed pretty well against Declan this past Sunday but in the end he walked away with the victory. He’s a talented guy, gifted technically an-”
“We don’t want to know about him, Jer. Why don’t you talk about how your speed gives you an advantage on the next Livewire.”
Now he’s giving me that frustrated look because I cut him off. Here’s a bit of advice. If you ever want to piss Jer off, just interrupt him. He won’t yell at me because I’m not afraid of him. All I have to do is smile at him and he forgets what he was mad about anyway.
“My speed? Well, I thought I showcased that pretty well on Livewire. Declan is pretty gifted on the mat but I think I showed my capacity for avoiding the areas of his skill set where he is clearly more talented than I am. At one time he might have been able to neutralize my speed and keep up with me to a certain extent but he’s suffered some pretty substantial injuries, especially to his leg. That’s just part of life and part of doing what we do. Eventually our bodies break down on us.”
“Good point, Jer.”
“I’m not done yet. Look I don’t think there’s any question that Declan can out wrestle me on the mat. The question is whether or not he can get me there and if our first match is any indication the answer is no. My speed negates his mat wrestling ability. He’s talented with submissions as well, but I’ve spent years honing my ability to defend against being submitted. Sure, if he can keep me grounded then those submission skills will come into play, but he hasn’t shown the propensity to do that against a guy as quick as I am.”
“Right an-”
“Still not done. It’s clear to me the deciding factor in this match is going to be the one thing that can’t be taught. And that’s that his body is breaking down on him, and mine isn’t.”
Told you I’d get him to open up.
“That’s great, Jer. But that’s enough for today. You don’t want to give away the whole store on the first date, do you?”
And just like that, with an easy smile, I shut him up. We’ll see you all next time. Peace and love.
Jenny.
