THOUGHTS ON A PLANE
A long flight from Brazil back to Denver gives a man much time to s t and think about things. That’s why I’ve decided to hammer this out on my phone and post it for everyone to see. Since, of course, you’re all going to sit there and wonder what I will say or how I will react to what happened Saturday night at Vertigo.
The fact of the matter is that I lost to Kevin Mears.
I can feel a thousand different ways about it but at the end of the day. The UPRISING record books will show that Kevin Mears pinned Jace Parker Davidson on July 1st, 2023 at Vertigo.
So… I want to say congratulations to Kevin Mears.
You are the first person to defeat me in UPRISING. You are the man that ended my winning streak. And now? It looks like you’re in line to get the next shot at the UPRISING World Championship belt.
Now that I’ve gotten the pleasantries over with, let’s get down to the nitty-gritty of it all.
Kevin Mears vs. Jace Parker Davidson on paper is a match that could main event any show for any company in this business.
It has a big match feel written all over it.
Did Saturday night live up to that? Well… that’s for you the viewer to decide.
For me personally? It did not. For me, in my head, a match vs. Kevin Mears could have been so much more. So… why wasn’t it?
The answer is simple.
I wrestled the match with a cloud of appreciation hanging over my head. I let hitting Rock Bottom get to me. I let getting my ass kicked and being laid in the hospital get to me. I allowed myself to let the fact that Kevin Mears visited me in the hospital linger inside of me like a form of cancer that just wouldn’t go away.
I wrestled that match against Kevin Mears.
Kevin Mears fought to win that match.
That was the deciding factor. Now, I can say for sure if this was all pre-mediated by Kevin Mears. I can’t say with 100% certainty that he came and visited me in the hospital, that he posted on social media about how much he respected me. Just to pull a fast one on me when my guard was down.
Maybe his intentions were good. Maybe he did visit me out of the kindness of his own heart. Maybe he does respect me as a wrestler inside the ring. And maybe when push came to shove, when the chips were down, Kevin Mears realized there was no way he would win that much unless he grabbed a handful of my tights.
Either way, Kevin Mears won… and I lost.
I’m not going to blame Kevin for what he did. I’ve done the exact same thing, if not worse, in my career. The fact that I didn’t fight that match to win by any means necessary is my mistake. It’s a mistake that I don’t plan to make ever again.
So… now we move forward.
And one day… we’ll have Kevin Mears vs. Jace Parker Davidson II. And that match? That match will live up to the hype. That match will be two men going at it like heated rivals, each trying to end the other.
I got soft for one night and Kevin capitalized on that.
Lightning will not strike twice.
You took the road that you took Kevin. You got the cheap one over me but now you have to live with that decision. Sure, you’ve worked your way into a match against Samantha Tolson for the UPRISING World Championship belt.
But I want you to remember that Samantha is a member of The Kingdom.
And that wherever The Kingdom goes… I’ll be there.
In the weeks leading up to the eventual fight between you and Samantha. I hope you do the smart thing and hire yourself some bodyguards to protect yourself. And I mean real professional bodyguards. Not the likes of Talia Skye or Serenity Holmes.
You moved the Chess pieces the way that you did.
You might not have wanted a full-blown war between The Aces and The Kingdom but now you sure as fuck have it.
Of course… moving off of Mears, that begs the question. What is next for Jace Parker Davidson?
I’m no longer undefeated. I didn’t work my way into a guaranteed title match. Where does my focus go now when I’m not tormenting Mears or the other members of The Aces?
Will I work my way up the rankings for a shot at the UPRISING World Championship belt regardless if the Champion happens to be Kevin Mears or Samantha Tolson?
Will I focus my efforts on the Silver State Championship belt even though Madison has already had eyes on that title?
Or will I find myself a tag team partner and go for those Unity Division Championship belts?
I mean… we all saw how I almost broke Juliana Mendoza’s middle fingers last night. Why did we attack them? Again, that’s simple. They decided to attack us first. They decided as members of The One Percent to follow Marisol Vilaro’s orders and attack me and members of The Kingdom.
Yes, we’ve attacked them before but this doesn’t mean we’re even. Oh no, I get to decide when we’re fucking even. And we’re not even fucking close. Some people will think that the Manor bitches have gotten under my skin. That I am targeting them for unreasonable reasons.
The truth is that I am indifferent to the two of them as both people and professional wrestlers.
What does annoy me is how fucking pathetic the Unity Division is. The whole division is a joke and if I have to sit through another Manor vs. H4H title match I might just punch an infant. Teams show up here in UPRISING and just sit on their fucking hands. They do absolutely fuck all but just sit there and collect a paycheck.
Times are changing.
I’ve been working behind the scenes recruiting talent that actually give a fuck. No more will the likes of your Melody Slaytons, your Jessie Salcos, or Maidens of War pollute this roster and drag the rest of us down with them.
From match one in this company, I’ve done nothing but take out the fucking trash. From Molly Hatchet to Griffin Hawkins. From Andrea Hernandez to all the others who can’t be bothered to participate.
I will do the same for the Unity Division. Does that mean that I personally will step into the ring and fight for those titles? Maybe, maybe not. But as far as the Manor cunts go, you can talk all you want about how ‘that’s not how you get a title shot’ but honestly? Fuck off.
I wish a nuclear bomb had fallen in the center of the ring when you both were in that with the Heroes For Hire.
It would have done EVERYONE a huge favor.
You both can whine and cry, bitch and moan, or hide under Marisol’s skirt all you want. The end result will be the same. You both are piss-poor Unity Champions. Everyone that has ‘challenged’ you both for those belts has been subpar at best. Consistently, the Unity Championship matches have been the piss-break contests on any UPRISING card. People literally change the channel when you both are in the ring.
That ends now!
I don’t book the matches. I am not Brad Jackson. However, it’s no secret that I have a working relationship with the Board of Directors. And I will use every bit of that connection to make sure that the Unity Division either dies or it gets Champions who are worthy of putting interest and intrigue into the division.
The UPRISING Unity Champions should be two or more people that are so good, and so interesting that why attract attention from teams outside of UPRISING. They should be people who are of an elite level that makes random singles wrestlers want to pair up for the sole fact of challenging for those belts.
You both are none of those things.
Look up and down the Vertigo card from last night. A hot main event, JPD vs. Mears is a draw that puts asses in seats. Both Eli Buchanan and Donovan Basch put on better shows in their debut matches than you both did as Champions.
Outside of the newest tag team. There isn’t a current team that is even worthy of getting a shot at the Unity titles, let alone holding them.
So… what’s next for Jace Parker Davidson?
That’s continuing to mow through the competition. That’s continuing to have the match of the night on any given card. And most importantly, it’s continuing to raise the level of talent and commitment to UPRISING.
Everyone already knows that Brad Jackson used me as an eliminator of unwanted garbage on this roster.
Now… I don’t need Jackson to point and order me to chase off whatever deformed limb is infecting the UPRISING body.
I’m more than capable of doing that on my own.
When I said that The Kingdom was taking over UPRISING, that wasn’t just generic trash talk with no substance.
You either compete at a level that I deem worthy. Or I will make it my personal business to end you.
You’ve all been warned.
