[Part 1 of the Foster Home Series]
[Downtown Brooklyn, NY – “A Religious Beginning”]
Hello my name is Taryn Willow, a lot of you may know me as the Underrated Underdog of NGW. Many of you don’t know my past or know little that you’ve scratched your head wondering, is there more? What aren’t you telling the world Taryn? Well it starts now, from this moment forward I’ll be taking you down memory lane. Dark pasts that no one knows about me, deep dark secrets will be revealed. Will I hurt people by the stuff that’ll be said from this moment forward? Yes. Will they accept any of this new found information? Maybe. Only the future holds the answers to one’s own questions. Let’s begin during one of my many struggles in the Foster care system. Boy did I go through a lot of families but I’ll never forget one family that would prove one thing. They proved that I was destined to fail.
[Day 1 of Adoption]
When I was first adopted by one of my foster families, I thought my life was finally complete. I was a lonely sixteen year old struggling to find my purpose in life. I had mainly kept to myself, didn’t bothered to play or get to know the other kids. It just didn’t feel right, I didn’t know them and I never wanted too. I had just finished my lunch as one of the faculty employees instructed all the kids to go outside and play. I ignored her, didn’t take her long though to see through my disobedience and grab my arm.
Faculty Employee: “What do we have here?” said the employee with anger tone coming from her voice. “I said, ALL which means you need to go outside and play. You better smarten up you spoiled brat or you know what will happen if you disobey.
At the time which all pre-teenagers are, they are either rebels or ass-kissers. For me, with all the threats these employees were giving me. I didn’t care one bit. They couldn’t put me through the anger or the betrayal like my father did, leaving me to die on these very steps of the facility.
Young Taryn: “So many empty threats and no actions. I’m already empty inside, do your worst.”
The woman looked at me as the anger grew within her. She tightened her grip around my arm, pulled me outside and slapped me across the face. She intended to leave a mark on my face as she repeatedly slapped my face over and over again.
[Later that day.]
I laid in my bed, one of my ankles were chained to the end of the bed. They intended to keep me as I was. Punishment for not doing as I was told earlier, what was coming my way was going to be the start of my demise of my innocence. A small religious family walked into the facility. A 5 foot 7 tall mid forties Caucasian male walked along side his very young mid twenties fiancé. They walked to the desk and pressed down on the bell. I heard the bell and tried to reach to a certain point to hear but with my ankle locked, my attempts failed. I placed my head down on the cold floor hoping to hear at this point, anything for that matter. The man kept ringing the bell…..
Faculty Employee: “Yeah, Yeah. Calm down will you.” The lady looks up at the couple. “Hello, may I help you both this lovely evening?”
The man was not impressed with the ton the woman was speaking to him. From what I remember, he sounded disgusted and appalled at her. He cleared his throat, adjusted his glasses and spoke in a clear, soft tone.
Henry Willow: “Yes, you can show me some better respect you scum. The lord doesn’t like freaks like you soiling his good name by disrespecting perfection like us. We walk and breathe the lord and people like you are just parts of his machine of will. We are looking adopt a young girl who mold into what the lord’s deceitful, his true message to the world. His puppet to influence the unworthy this world is covered in. Do you have any empty souls ready to be purged by the lord’s will?
As I laid there, I could only hear bits and pieces of it. The tone of this man made my skin crawl. The way I was treated here, I knew they would try to sick me to them to further hurt my self esteem. The woman bent over, and pulled out a big record book of all the kids that they held. It didn’t take long for her to pull out my photo and showed it to the couple. The man’s smirk grew almost devilish like. He nodded, slammed his bible down on the desk and yelled, “SHES THE ONE, LORD THANK YOU FOR ANSWERING OUR PRAYERS.”
His young fiancé who looked bruised and battered spoke softly. “You’re insane.”
He turned his head with disgust, he grabbed his book and slammed it against her face, knocking her to the ground.
Henry Willow: “Don’t you ever speak out of term again. EVER!” You’re not a lot to speak unless the lord give me permission to allow you to speak. Now where was I? Ahh that’s right, the girl. So as anyone put a claim on her yet?
Faculty Employee: “Why would anyone want this piece of trash? Ever since we took her in when she was an infant, she has been nothing but trouble, trouble.
I got very angry. The lies this woman was saying to this man knowing they were the ones causing this physical and mental harm to me. I couldn’t do anything else but kept hearing as I could remember to this day, this chilling conversation.
Henry Willow: “Hmmm a delicious answer, may I……see the young girl?”
The employee smirked and nodded. “Yes you may. Please this way…….”
She walked out from behind the desk and grabbed two pairs of keys. One key was for my cuffs and one was to unlock the cage door for my room. Oh, I forgot to mention our rooms were like jail cells, minus the cell bars. No way to vent out the room, it was twenty-four seven winter wonderland. She waved to the couple, as they walked up the stairs, Henry grabbed his fiancé’s hair yanking her to follow him, I quickly went back on my bed hoping they didn’t hear me being out of it. As they approached my room, I hurried under the covers, placed my head on the rough surface and closed my eyes. The employee unlocked the door as Henry released the young woman in a powerful force knocking her against the wall. She opened the door as they saw me sleeping. Henry looked at me, licking his lips as he walked in.
Faculty Employee: “Wake up you little shit-head, you have a visitor.”
Henry motioned with his hand to tone it down.
Henry Willow: “Now, now that’s no way to speak to a young lady like this.” He motions for them to leave as she temporally closes the door. Henry rubbed my head, his fingers curled in my hair as I couldn’t take it anymore. I quickly launched up and leaned against the wall.
Young Taryn: “Don’t touch me….” I said to Henry as he took his glasses off and sat down beside me.
Henry Willow: “Listen Taryn…..Your name is Taryn correct?
I looked at him and tilted my head.
Young Taryn: “Yeah, what does it mean to you?” I wasn’t quite sure if this man was really a fraud or nice. My eyes were closed and unaware of what he had did to his fiancé moments ago.
Henry Willow: “You see Taryn, me and my fiancé have been trying for a long time to conceive a child. Many attempts failed, she miscarried twice and we thought we had lost all hope. That’s when we found out about this wonderful facility.’
As he spoke I thought to myself, “Wonderful facility, this dude must really be on crack.”
“When I told my lovely and caring fiancé about this we just had to come here. Moments ago downstairs when she showed us your picture , I knew right there and then; you were the one. You would be the one to carry on our family legacy. You would be one to carry on god’s message to the world and to bring this world into the new era. Taryn we promise you, no; I promise you that we will love you just like any normal family would. All you need to do is pledge yourself not only to my will but the will of god itself. You do want to leave this awful place don’t you? Be loved by a family that won’t treat you like dirt?”
I looked at him and for a second I believed him. Heck me at sixteen, I didn’t know a lot of what the world was like and the cruel people that existed in it. My eyes wondered to his knuckles which were red and black like he either had been fighting or hitting something. Again, I was clueless of the environment and the man in front of me. My mindset was so focused on leaving this facility that I looked at Henry, nodded and said.
Young Taryn: “When do we leave?”
He smirked and at that moment, I had sealed my fate. He put his glasses back on, grabbed his bible and walked to the door and knocked a few times. The employee and his fiancé walked in as Henry said.
Henry Willow: “Please fetch the paper work, I want to take her home tonight if possible.”
Facility Employee: “Of course follow me.”
Henry stopped her and pointed to me.
Henry Willow: “She comes with us, she’s mine now. I will not leave her up here alone for someone else to take her away from us.”
Facility Employee: “Understandable Mr. Willow.” She walked over with the other key and unhook the cuff that was attached to my ankle and yanked me by my arm as Henry took my hand. For a moment, I thought I felt safe. I didn’t know the horror and the true intentions of Henry at the moment. We all walked downstairs and after a few hours of paperwork, we walked outside as he smiled.
Henry Willow: “Honey, please watch our daughter alright? I’ll be right back…….” She nodded as he walked back inside, ten minutes had passed and still no Henry. I was getting pretty anxious and my patience had worn out.
Young Willow: “Fuck it, I’m going to see what dad’s up too.” Like a switch went off, the woman grabbed my wrist and her eyes budged open as fear was overtook her.
Daisy Willow: “Please don’t. You have no idea what you’re getting yourself into. You must obey him, we all must obey him. It’s god’s will, it’s his will. If we disobey him, our punishments would be swift and seen. Please I’m begging you Taryn…..Please!”
At that point, I didn’t care, I wanted to know where my new father was and I wasn’t going to stop until I found out. I pulled y arm from her grip and walked inside but I took once quick glance at her. She had her hands on her head and was rocking herself back and forth in total freak-out mode. I ignored her, thinking she was just going through a phase, I looked around, the woman employee wasn’t there and Henry wasn’t there either. I walked to the desk and noticed my file was there, as a noisy teenager I was at the time, I opened it up. What I found was something that would make my decision to join his family regrettable. Henry had been keeping a close eye on me every since the day I was brought into the facility as a baby. One quote caught me off guard, “Little Taryn, so innocent. She’s perfect for the lord. My future wife and when she becomes close to her eighteen birthday, she will make me a worthy husband.”
I stepped back feeling sick to my stomach as the facility was just keeping me all wrapped up for this day. I kept walking back as I bumped into something. A rough hand was placed on my shoulder as I heard the words, “What are you doing Taryn?”
[Part 1 Ends, Tune in to part 2 – “A non-Religious Home coming”]
[On-Camera] [7:29 PM on July 11th, 2016]
[NGW house-show in the Phillips Arena in Atlanta, GA.]
The scene opens up in the middle of the ring, the camera were focused on me, I was attending a house show to get the crowd pumped up for NGW Vendetta that was coming live this Saturday night. I whipped the hair from my face and lifted the microphone to my mouth as right away the crowd booed me. I was shocked and disgusted. I have’t had one match already and the audience had already shown their dislike in me. I laughed, shrugged them off and began speaking.
“Wrestling Lioness” Taryn Willow: “So you all hate me right out of the gate is that how were doing this? [Crowd continues to boo] Alright, alright then. Fuck it; I’ll play your little game. So in just 4 days time, I’ll be making my much anticipated debut for NGW in a battle royal against, Mic Strong, Damien Drake and Heath Sommersby. Guys I know you think, oh Taryn so far is the only female in this battle royal. There is no way were losing to the likes of her. Please you gentlemen need to focus more on finding your voices then wrestling me because so far, most of you have been dead silent. For example, Damien Drake! The man who was so cocky on twitter telling me to tuck my tail between my legs and yet, nothing. Not a single peep.”
“You would think a man who was so cocky on a fucking social media website that he would take every advantage at his disposal to throw me under the bus. Bury my hopes of winning this battle royal and yet you’ve disappeared off the face of the earth. You probably went back to Williamsport, PA to hopfully fine your spine along with your balls. I mean come on Damien; you thought for a second that you were the big man on campus. You’re the man that thought he was going to show NGW that he meant business. Instead you gave me two tweets on twitter then gone silent. Was that your attempt at showing me you meant business? Was that your attempt on telling me to shove my tail between my legs and not think I wasn’t winning this battle royal? You’re delusional as your title history. Oh I bet everyone would “love” to know your background. Hmmm let’s begin shall we?”
“Wrestling Lioness” Taryn Willow: “Ok….ok get this everyone. A six foot six beast who thought by telling me to tuck my tail between my legs was a threat. The man has only won, one championship in his career. You think Taryn why are you throwing shots at his one title victory when you have the same. No, no! Between us, our two title histories are not the same. This six foot six giant wasn’t the holder of any Male titles but one lovely Women's champion. Let that sink in for all of you. You all and Drake expect me, a woman who has proven she can hang with the best of the best. You expect me to take a man who won a woman’s championship seriously? I mean for fuck sakes, I promise I’m not on drugs or anything but this situation is making me want to take some. Damien how can you justify you being a woman’s champion when you have a pecker the size of peckerman himself whose well known on twitter? It amazes me that the company you won the damn title in allowed you to win it in the first place. Man the company must had really been in the shitter for that to take place huh?”
[Crowd chants, Damien is a pussy-bitch]
“Wrestling Lioness” Taryn Willow: “With a tough image like yourself you didn’t expect people to know about that little title victory of yours? I can’t wait to hear your excuse on how you got it. “You don’t know nothing Taryn, I won it for this girl who couldn’t fight.” So you expect me to believe that you were so bad in any other division, top, mid or low teir wrestler. That the very company you were working for was like, “Hmmm I got a great idea, said the writing crew in the back. Let’s have Damien Drake win our woman’s championship. But will that be illogical for a male to win our female championship? Fuck logic, were doing it!” I bet that’s how they went about their business right Drake? I bet I’m right, of course I’m, right. When have I ever been wrong to this point about everyone in this matchup? We got a prissy little bitch in Damien Drake, we got some reject from IPW who thinks jumping to the big show will change his losing ways.
We then have the “ONLY” man to speak up in this match and now before I get to that man of the hour, let’s get to IPW number one reject, Heath Sommersby. Hey buddy, how’s it hanging? You enjoying NGW so far? I bet you think this is smooth sailing from this point forward right? You think that oh, I got this chick that runs his mouth. A man who only speaks on twitter and Mic Strong. What honestly makes you think that your fortune is going to change in NGW instead of IPW? You were unable to win both briefcases and your first idea was, I’m going to NGW. Fuck IPW, it’s beneath me. I should be fighting real talent, well good buddy you got it. You got it in the form of me, Taryn fucking Willow.
[Crowd chants, loser, loser.]
“Wrestling Lioness” Taryn Willow: “Listen up Heath, NGW is nothing like IPW. It’s a completely different ballgame. IPW is where the future stars go to work on their craft before jumping to where the big dogs are. You do not belong here and this Saturday night, I’m going to prove it to you. One way or another you will learn what it means to give up too easily and take the easy road to fame. All throughout my life, I’ve busted my ass to get to where I am today. Reason I didn’t go and sign with IPW because I knew what I was capable of doing and I only wanted to fight the best of the best. Gaving didn’t ask me to sign a contract here, Ashleigh didn’t ask me to sign here. I came here out of my own free will. I know one day, I’ll have to face them both in the ring and when that time comes; I’ll be ready. What can you honestly say to me thats going to give me that idea in my head that you’re a legit threat to me?
Trust me Heath, I want to believe your some-sort of threat but when you company jump and not a peep has been said from you. I’m starting to wonder if you pulled a Damien Drake and is in hiding somewhere until the show is over. You’ll pop up on social media claiming the win was a fluke or some shit like that. I mean if you want to go and warm up right next to Damien as I hand both of you guys your asses on Saturday then alrighty then. Don’t bitch or moan when I hand you those Ls and expect me to give a shit because everyone knew when this match was made. They all knew I was the overall favorite in this mach no matter what shit you guys spewed out of your mouths. Heath, again I hate to bring twitter into this but I guess it’s the “it” thing in wrestling today. You said that your Woman crush Wednesday was a woman with the big mouth. Hmmmm like I already knew it was me. You’re such a little kid with these petty insults like it’s suppose to bother me or something.”
“Wrestling Lioness” Taryn Willow: “Heath, I didn’t see your sorry bitch ass coming out here and shutting me up do me? Did I see you finally growing a fucking set and showing the world that you aren’t the biggest pussy that IPW got rid off? No to both fucking questions, you along with Damien Drake do not belong in this match and it’s a damn shame that you are just taking this ass fucking without responding in any form of the matter. You would think with such a big mouth you have you would want to shut me up and prove me wrong? A lot of people in the wrestling industry wants to shut me up which they never will. Before you throw childish insults at me Heath you need to fucking prove you can handle the shit I’m throwing at you because so far, you along with Damien are nowhere to be found. Pretty sad actually Heath, not surprising but pretty fucking pathetic if you ask me. Now onto the real business at hand, the only man who has the balls to speak out and challenge me in this battle royal, Pekelo Kimo.
Kimo thank you for making this match not a complete waste of my time because honestly with the snooze fest of Damien Drake and Heath, I thought I wasn’t going to get a worthy opponent for Saturday. You made several mistakes there Kimo and allow me to explain to you. I have said this on numerous occasions, whatever you’ve done in previous companies does not matter when you enter a brand new domain. You stated that you’re a two time Heavyweight Champion for the PGFC or something along with being a former AWA International champion.
“Wrestling Lioness” Taryn Willow: “Aww come on guys, you don’t think that was clever? Ahh forget it, Kimo I can give zero fucks what you were champion off whatever company you competed in. Were in fucking NGW, the best company around today and you think by giving us a fucking history lesson or a good old jog down memory lane is going to get the fans behind you? Get the fans to want to believe in you? Give you hope that you can win this match? Shut Taryn Willow up for good? Don’t kid yourself Kimo, you’re in way over your head and at Vendetta; I’m going to show why I’m the future of NGW instead of you. First of all Kimo, I have watched Game of Thrones and some moments it has its moments and then some it just makes me shake my head. Like you for example, you compared me to some song like I’m suppose to fucking know it.
You think by comparing me to some worthless song is going to help you win this match then my god wrestling has really gone down the shitter hasn’t it? Vendetta is going to prove a lot of things Kimo. It’s going to prove once again that I’m not someone to take lightly. It’s going to prove why I’m the best of the best at what I do. I fucking love this business, I will not stand for guys like you making a mockery of it just to gain some fame and be done with it. Vendetta is going to be the official burial ground of Damien Drake, Heath Sommersby and Mic Strong. I’ll see you all Saturday night and get ready to bow down to the new Queen of NGW, Taryn motherfucking Willow!"
