HI, I'M VIOLET FROM WATTPAD

AND WHAT JUST HAPPENED?

   I should just open up all of the chapters for this book like this, but then again, King Ross is my favorite. 

   In all seriousness, what just happened?

   (1) As per usual, I was on tumblr doing my daily dose of stalking my favorite wrestling blogs. I then came across something that shattered my heart. I didn't want to believe it, but then I went to google to confirm my suspicions and ...

   My heart is now a broken, bleeding, mess.

   If you haven't heard by now, I'm sorry that I have to be the one to break the bad news to you, but — Tommaso Ciampa is injured.

   Correction, Tommaso Ciampa has torn an ACL and might be out of action till early 2018. Man, this absolutely gutted me. Since his turn on Gargano, NXT had yet to capitalize on the angle, but it's very upsetting that it will now be on extra hold because of Ciampa's injury.

   I wish him the speediest of recoveries. Regardless of how long it may take him to return, I'm trying to look at this in a positive way (as positive as an injury can be, if even). Maybe it's a blessing in disguise?

   When Ciampa returns, he could come back that bigger of a heel OR Gargano could turn on a freshly returned Tomasso and in turn, make Johnny the biggest heel and Tommaso a massive baby face.

   They could go the Sami Zayn - Kevin Owens route, but I do think something special is being reserved for Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa — we all know they deserve it.

   (2) Alberto Del Rio is a goddamn mess. I don't even know what else to say about him except for that he's a bitter person. 

   I found this on a wrestling page:

   ↠ ❝we're not f--cking sport entertainers❞ 

   Alberto's right, he's not a sport entertainer. 

He tried to be, 

and he failed. 

As someone once best put, Alberto's a black hole for charisma. I can 100% recognize that Del Rio is a damn good wrestler, but he can not be entertaining enough to save his own ass. Although I did use to like him (first run), I have to admit that he just never had that extra ❝it❞ factor. 

   The only time I thought he was pretty freaking entertaining was when the story-line with Ricardo began. Even then, it was actually Ricardo that was providing the entertainment.

   Back to his statement, there are some people who are damn good wrestlers and also capable of being ❝sports entertainers.❞ Why does he have to speak on behalf of everyone like he owns the place?

↠ So it's good that he shows respect for Lashley, but who wouldn't? He calls himself a bad ass motherf--ker which, whatever. What I want to focus on is that last statement, ❝full of losers.❞

   I can 100% understand anyone who talks shit about the people who run the WWE. But to say that the WWE is full of losers is such a big blow to the locker room. 

   The locker room is better than it's ever been. There will always be drama, (no doubt), but just look at podcasts of older wrestlers that have spoken about how much the locker room environment has changed.

   If you want a good one, listen to Miz on the Colt Cabana podcast. 

   I don't understand what's Alberto's obsession with the WWE and his paranoid statements that they're after him. The only one who's shown to be throwing rocks is Alberto, and unfortunately, he's not just sinking himself.

   I can't even begin to fathom why a man who ❝loves❞ his significant other would shit on a company she works with and is ❝trying to get back to after she recovers❞ so fucking much. 

   If anyone should be aware of the consequences that can have, it's Del Rio. Paige hasn't helped herself at all here, but Del Rio is 50% of the reason I'm sure she'll be fired / won't return.

   Mark my words, when Paige gets fired I will 100% guarantee you that she'll try playing the victim card. Excuse me, how did you not think you'd get fired when you're husband/boyfriend insulted Triple H, Vince, wrestlers, and the entire company itself?

   That is all I will say on the matter, because I really can't with these two. It all seems like such a toxic relationship and I wish neither harm, but I do hope both find more stability in their lives.

   (3) New Rant Book?

   I've been thinking about this for a while. I know that often times I'll get backlash from immature peeps about how hateful my rants can be. While I never mean any harm to any of the wrestler(s) I might be shitting on, I see how I can be perceived as a hateful person.

   I am not a hateful person. I'm actually quite a happy person. Yeah, I'm also a grumpy piece of shit that changes her mind very often, but I'm more inclined to sending good vibes.

   Lately I've taken to reading this book called Timmy Turner Roast Book by quinneresa It's honestly hilarious (sarcastic at times because there's literally nothing wrong sunshine sami zayn or finn balor can do). 

   That said, Quinn's book along with Grace Helbig (YouTube) have inspired me to maybe start a new book in which I only praise wrestlers I like / wrestlers you want me to praise.

   It'll be called, ❝YOU'VE BEEN PRAISED❞ or something like that. What do you think? Should I do that?

   I've thought about that, mostly because I'd like to keep this book reserved for reviews on PPV's, etc.

   You let me know.

   (4) I was reading this article yesterday, and It reminded me of Wattpad. Specifically, writers and designers that are just trying to do their own thing and somehow along the way, are unfortunately, ripped off.

    This is an article about Kimora Lee Simmons's unaccredited influence in the fashion industry, but let me just explain how this ties into credibility / authenticity, etc.

❝It may change how it looks and what it takes to do so but you'll never be able to steal that beauty, those ideals and where those things come from. No one will ever be able t steal that. How far will you go to be able to get away with that? You won't be able to get away with that.❞

   I read this and it brought a lot of relief. When I first encountered my issues with people copying me, it was really frustrating to deal with. It started with covers being 100% the same as mine, and then specific sentences from my stories. 

   I think the one that hurt the most was when a few of my stories plots were copied. I've heard this happen to a few close friends, and it's such a bummer. 

   I thought it couldn't get any worse, but then the issues with my covers being replicated started happening more frequently. It led me to get into some petty drama when people then started taking credit for the design.

   At the time, I had a lot of good friends tell me that sometimes being replicated can be flattering. And while I was thankful for them and their input, It still always nagged me.

   So yesterday when I read this article, specifically these two parts, I finally felt relieved.

❝It is said that imitation is a high form of flattery so, if you look at it in that way, that's what they were doing. Other people would say they were stealing.❞

RELIEF,
RELIEF,
RELIEF!

As usual, let me just say that I'm not calling anyone out. Please, refrain yourself from trying to say this is ❝shade❞ because a) it's not and b) I fucking hate that word.

   I am simply recounting some shit I and others, have gone through. If you've gone through issues with people copying you, I hope this brings some relief.

    (5) Kevin Owens

   To end this on an extra good note, let me talk about Kevin Owens. I fucking love that guy. I just watched the Kevin Owens First Look video on the WWE Network, and I sobbed.

   It's honestly been my favorite video made on anyone, and I love how it had a lot of the ❝downs❞ to his career. Hearing what (specifically) Sami had to say, makes me want a video focusing on just him. WWE, please get on it. We should all sign a petition at Change.Org xD

   If you want to watch this video but aren't subscribed to the WWE Network, check Dailymotion.com 

   Type in Kevin Owens First Look, and hopefully you'll find it. Actually, (as I type this) let me see if I can find it for you.

   UPDATE: I found two links for it. I'll put them down in the comments section. *Fingers crossed* that it's available for all countries.

   As always, please please leave me all your input. I appreciate it and look forward to responding. If there's anyone you'd want me to praise, go ahead and let me know.
