Jared I have known many guys like you in my life, you are the kind of guy who lived their life at the expense of everyone else. You drank, joked, and abused yourself and everyone around you to make you feel whole. I remember seeing meathead frat boys like you at OSU, and every time one of those guys got brave and decided that they needed to prove something, they always stepped to the National Champion on campus. Unfortunately, I have seen you “fight,” and I know you are only a fratboy in nature, but as a fighter you are truly destructive.
YOUR PATH OF DESTRUCTION ENDS HERE!
You won’t destroy my pride, my self-respect, or my career. I know that everyone sees me as an underdog the likes of which this federation has never seen. You sit in your motel room wondering who is this kid and what balls he has to challenge me. I challenge you for everyone who didn’t have a chance. I challenge you because I don’t have to beat you ten times just once. I challenge you, because after we both have wrestled one match I am sure I am more conditioned than you could ever be.
While you have been sitting at the Motel Six, I have been studying tape, lifting weights, and mentally preparing myself for a challenge. I enjoy the fact that you are taking me lightly, because since I stepped foot into the WFW everyone else has too. I relish the idea that you make jokes about my college, my lifestyle choices, and me because that means that you are overlooking me as a wrestler. You are setting up a perfect recipe for your demise and my rise to immortality.
I understand that you have trouble comprehending my desire to want to wrestle, but that is why I am here, anyone can throw a chair, but very few people can throw a clean suplex. The only difference between the suplex I will throw on Powermaster earlier in the night, and the one I will put on you, will be that you are GOING THROUGH A TABLE!. You are the champion and for the past year you have been king of a match that has no rules, but today I mark the start of the revolution against your reign.
Jared you are right, in a week I will never get a shot at the title again….. Yet the question you should be asking yourself is whether I will give you a shot at the title after Great Expectations.
