Damaged? No. More like resurrected, more like no longer playing into the hands of the higher ups of this company. No one wants to strike fear into your heart, take it as you will, I state the facts of this man and why he is what you see now. Cage isn't fearing nor sweating you either when your claiming to the world that Cage is going to endure something, I say this to let you know Cage enters that ring ready to die rather than lose, that's Cage's way of life Banks. To insist that I am here by the side of Cage to get a check is repulsive, I don't need the money. I was the only person Cage could confide in when his career was falling apart, his life, hell I'm the one that went looking for him when he was on hiatus and found him damaged then, he isn't damaged now. I made him realize that the world was going to find a way to profit off of him and finally he woke up and opened his eyes to see the writing on the wall and realize he has more power in his hands than he ever could fathom. While you state the claim of Mr. DEDEDE and Impact and metaphorically sucking their dicks, I bring them up for the simple fact that you really don't know who you are stepping across the ring from in a mere matter of days due to the FACT that Cage has rubbed elbows with these men, Cage didn't just beat them got the pinfall and walk away. Mr. DEDEDE who is a man revered, took everything from Cage, he's a living breathing scumbag and the war between Cage and Mr. DEDEDE is well documented to where their Unsanctioned Match is the most difficult match in EAW history to watch, and what they did a week later to each other is even more graphic. I say this to let you know no matter the era, Cage can thrive and he swims with sharks because he is a shark, he's a carnivore and he's proven his worth to EAW when he stepped inside the ring with these mavericks of our sport and beat them. Excluding yourself because your a non factor and you've always been a non-factor since coming back, all you've shown is that your a master of stirring shit up, you came back to teach Jaywalker a lesson? That was the master plan behind you getting involved in something that wasn't your business? Since your speaking out of your ass I see your return as you wanting an end. You want someone better to end your career  and I promise you Cage would surely be the hammer to drive the nail home in your coffin, we both know HBB has fully been exposed and he's no longer golden and he's no longer the greatest of all times, he's a disappointing man from an era of spotlight hogging idiots who hang on to past glory, Cage could of hanged on to past glory and come back and belittle himself for your cheers and adulation and respect but no he said to tell with that and would rather let his actions write his story and I'll just preach the message. Which what your return is for, isn't to teach anyone a lesson, you want the spotlight back on you. Hell, I'm sure you didn't expect EAW to survive without you because you live in this world where this is the CM Banks show, starring CM Banks. I'm afraid to say the show is over and canceled and their won't be reruns. Demons, you wanna talk about demons? You have no idea, because you've had it sweet in your entire life, you haven't had to work for shit, Cage on the other hand has worked for everything he's ever gotten in EAW, it took Cage a mighty long time to get here but the fact of the matter is he got to where the fuck he wanted to go and he shoved it in your face, managements face and any nonbeliever. So what's next? You present something new or is it really new because it's the same regurgitated shit everyone has to say to Cage, they bring up his failures, so what, Cage failed big fucking whoop he wasn't able to stay in EAW consistently for a few years, we get it same old shit. 

And what does that say about your team? That a guy like Cage who in your eyes is still in the position he was when you left has been able to hand a “Legend” like HBB a loss in dominant fashion, was going to beat Dubian without Ares help, and what have you shown for me lately Banks? You've been saved by not having to compete for Pain for Pride, they blessed you with extra time to preserve that body of yours because the thrashing to come at Pain for Pride is not going to pretty. You've been setting fires and picking fights and just recently on Showdown you lost a battle and couldn't even save HBB from having his skull crushed, you are outmatched, you are outgunned and from the looks of things your are out-manned which is equivalent to bring a knife to a gun fight and Cage is carrying the AK 47 and he's shooting to kill and hes not like you just shooting to brag that he fucking did it. Admittedly so, Cage has tasted failure and it is a bitter pill to swallow but there's no time for Cage to cry over spilled milk, hell just being reminded of his failure motivates him and drives him be stronger, to strike harder, and refuse to surrender until he has this company by the throat once again. When you say “we” do you mean you, you seem to be a heavy critic of Cage and use “we” when it's really yourself, Cage would have beaten Scott Oasis, the same way Cage would of have beaten Devan Dubian and the same way Cage would kick your ass if you ever want to experience pain, misery and suffering for yourself personally. Men deal with failure differently, failure may have prompt you to not make the same mistakes but failure sure as hell did prompt you to retire right? You are see through, glass, your words are sweet and your feeding these people diabetes. An L is pending but not for Cage. Without being considered one of the greatest in your eyes, the people who pour money into this company recognize Cage as a Legend in the sport, even though Cage doesn't care what these people think, Grand Rampage 2016, Cage returns and it feels like a riot is about to happen and the same thing happens the following year. Cage has his respect, Cage just needs one thing and that's to get back to the top of the mountain. By hook or by crook, Cage was going to get there no matter if it's through Cash in the Vault or the 24/7 Battle Royal, that's how BAD he wants it. That's how much passion he has to hold holy grail in his hands, you don't understand because your head is too far up your ass to realize how selfish this business is. I will say though, Cage did fall victim to himself, but it always himself that picks himself right back up and reassess the situation and makes his next move. Your team is DAMAGED, Cage doesn't need to become anything, he already is the most dangerous man in the world, he already is going into the EAW Hall of Fame, and he already is what I preach, an omen of things to come, if you what you see when you look at Cage is damage and pain and just basically really fucked up then that's the omen of things coming your way. Everyone tries to get into Cage's head because nobody knows what runs through his mind, hell I don't even know what he's going to do most times but I do know for sure Cage is going to make it to Pain for Pride in one piece, Cage is ready for life after Pain for Pride because penance will have been paid for your disrespectful words and Cage will be deadset and hell bent on climbing the mountain all the way to the top. If anything Cage's failures have proven that he is indestructible, the loss of a career, his family, and almost his life couldn't stop him and CM Banks in all his glory surely won't put Cage out of his misery, so I ask you Banks if he's failed so much and he's still here, through everything he's dealt with, what makes you a threat? I'll answer that, nothing makes you a threat. You have nothing but words, bravado, you speak the shit this company feels about Cage so when Cage beats on you he's beating on all of EAW, he's beating on every fan, every talent, management, he's beating them all and at the end of this fucked up and miserable story of the life of Cage he'll be victorious, there is no stopping a man and there is no fear in a man who has nothing to lose.

No shit, Haruna. You went through the biggest heartbreak your career may have faced two years ago - but, you’re still standing! Thanks for clarifying the fucking point that I've already made; I sincerely appreciate it. Everything that I said to you went directly over your head, and it wasn't because of the obvious language barrier between the two of us, but because of pure fucking stupidity. Haruna may have not won anything for years upon years, but she's going to start at Pain of Pride! That contract is going to change her career! She's finally going to be able to grasp not the things she most certainly deserves! But, when you fail like you always do, there's always going to be an excuse behind why. I told you the reasons for your failure, but like so many others, you refused to listen. You place faith in the same broken fucking pieces that have gotten you absolutely fucking nowhere; hoping wholeheartedly that those same broken pieces are going to fall into place and start working. It's been two years since the name Haruna Sakazaki meant anything to this business. How long is it going to take before you begin to understand the problem at hand? How many times do you have to fall at the feet of the world before you understand that things need to change. There's a reason that Aria Jaxon kicked down the doors of that division and ran straight past you. There's a reason that Cailin Dillon managed to rip away the smallest piece of the success that you managed garner before it had even been given the chance to begin. You’re setting yourself up for failure. You're setting yourself up for the same heartbreak that you've become far too used to. I'm glad that you have some form of hope, Haruna; never allow that hope to fade. Failure, while you may not like it, just like I told Anthony Leonhart - it's the perfect way to find the problem that you're working with. Failure forces you to change, because if you don't - it never leaves. It follows you down every road that you try to travel. You're just like Sheridan for different reasons. You have faith in something that obviously isn't working, and while it may not be German Efficiency, I hope it doesn't take you too much longer to figure out what it is.

More importantly, guys - Lethal Consequences said my name! He really said my name! I must be really fucking special for that to happen! I'm so proud, fuck the Battle Royal and the contract; that has painfully proven that he's a long way over the hill has said my name. I lied last week - I know exactly who you are. I know exactly what you've done. I know everything that you've managed to piss away. You had a career that some would have dreamed of having. You garnered more success in such a short period than most would have in their entire career. You were sitting near the top of the world - and then you went away. If you had never come back, you name would have been one this company would have turned absolutely immortal, but instead you came back and proved that this company had already passed you by. You last venture was a loss to Jacob Senn in a match where he was forced to play by your very own rules, and he beat you so badly that you couldn't answer that five count. You waged war with Diamond Cage - and poof, you were gone again. Surprise, surprise! Lethal Consequences is back again! But, rather than rolling out the red carpet, everyone just shrugged their shoulder and carried on with their night. You've gone from a man that was once revered - to a man who has done nothing more than blow hot air; threats that have fallen on nothing more than deaf ears. But, who cares, right? You're Lethal fucking Consequences! You don't need this company - this company needs you. The man who is undefeated on the lowest brand in the company - against scrubs who hold no talent. Bravo. You and Scott Diamond were no different. You refused to admit to the problem at hand and you've suffered greatly for it. Scott has complete pissed away any form of a legacy that he had built for himself, and you're very well on your way. Could you imagine how it's going to look if you can't manage to win a battle royal consisting of names that you obviously don't take seriously? Seriousness becomes almost non-existent. Legitimacy gets thrown straight out the window. You'll be nothing more than the same kind of scrub you wholeheartedly believe you’re above. But, you have nothing to worry about, do you? There’s absolutely nothing, right?

Right?...

Ah, who cares, you're Lethal fucking Consequences.

Did I just get a lesson in how to conduct myself by a man who hasn't even made his debut yet?

Now I've truly heard it all.

I made the point earlier, you know maybe I didn't even bring it up. It's been a wild week already, I've left out things that I meant to say, I said things that I later regretted... but anyway, whether I said it or not... I'm going to repeat it because it's something that's most definitely worth repeating. 

Respect isn't a hard concept to grasp, only EAW makes it look difficult. If you as person A are inferior to person B and there are a lot of ways you can be inferior be it tenure and accomplishments which are objective or talent and that is where you need to be true with yourself and swallow your pride just a bit... you show that person respect. It doesn't mean you have to like them, you don't have to take them out for a meal, no one is asking that of you. For the most part it's more of a way of looking out for you. There's a clear and obvious food chain in EAW and when you don't abide by it, when you choose to ignore it and place yourself in a group that you simply don't belong in, amongst other elitists that are clearly better than you are... it only makes you look foolish. That's why I'm still so flabbergasted that Theodore Hilfiger had the gall to tell me I could learn a thing or two from him, is that so.. and what exactly is that Theodore? You're upset that I've focused most of my energy on Sheridan and have completely ignored you until now? You don't think that's a good strategy? Well answer me this, what seems smarter to you? Focusing on what you feel to be one of the bigger and only threats in this match or focusing on everybody, most of whom I won't even cross paths with during the duration of the match? There's a reason I haven't acknowledged a lot of the people who've called out my name, it's because I don't feel they're worth responding to. And had you just dropped my name in your speech to get a few more eyeballs drawn towards it, I wouldn't have given you my attention either... but instead you had to get smart and try to tell me how things work around here. Instead of shutting up and knowing your place not only in this match but in this company, you tried to disrupt the very food chain that I had mentioned earlier by putting you and myself as equals. I've been here seven years, I've seen a lot of stupid things, I've heard a lot of stupid things however you may have just taken the cake when it comes to that. I apologize if it's not as good as Sher's cake, I'm afraid no cake can top hers but I hope you find it suitable.

I guess in the end you got what you wanted after all, I now know the name Theodore Hilfiger, and you know what I'm gonna do now that I know who you are? Ensure that I send a kick your way this weekend, right to the skull.

It seems like I've struck a nerve. I'm not surprised, seeing that when you're forced to defend something which has become so fickle and that you take so much pride in - you're blinded by the stubbornness that there isn't a problem and that everything is still fine. I can't take away from the things that you managed to accomplish throughout your time competing in a lesser division, Sheridan, but I can sink my teeth into the little you've managed to achieve since you believed it was in your best interest to leave it. You can act like you're still making strides when you're standing completely stagnant. You've been learning from the situations that you've been in throughout your time on Dynasty, but you've done nothing with the knowledge. There are no problems with Sheridan Muller. German Efficiency still holds the same value that it once did. Shut up, Theron, you don't know anything. You see, I brought up the Heart Break Gal, not because I was a fan, but because she was the perfect example for a woman standing in your position. You immediately ran to the fact that you managed to take that Vixen’s World Championship away from her - we'll forget about the fact that she was physically exhausted after a tables match with Haruna Sakazaki, or the fact that I think you never once successfully defended the championship. I told you that HBG was the perfect example of adaptability. Whether she was fighting in the position that you were in or the position that you're in now - she always took it in her stride. She never stumbled. She never stalled. She never stopped putting on foot in front of the other. I had to tell this to Anthony Leonhart and I was hoping that you would be smart enough to understand it, but unfortunately I was wrong. You take so much pride in that German Efficiency; it's the main thing that brought you to the dance - but, you're trying to finish a different puzzle with the same old pieces. You're so stubborn that you refuse to see a problem. There's nothing wrong, some things just take time? That's the idea, right? So, this time next year when you're still no further ahead in the company; counting the weeks passing you by, if you’re still in this company to begin with - what's the excuse going to be then? Will you still be trying to move with the same morals, or will you finally fix those broken pieces of the machine that is Sheridan Muller and finally take a step forward in a division that she's so desperate to conquer? Truthfully, I couldn't care less about the decision that you make; it's nothing more than a little food for thought.

But, ladies and gentlemen! You heard it from Darkane’s mouth! Darkane is going to be a mountain that I'm going to struggle to climb - even though I've already done it. Rex McAllister would have beaten my ass - even though he was the man running off with his tail tucked between his legs to first chance he had to stand toe to toe with the biggest threat his championship reign was ever going to face. I understand that you're a man that's in the position where he's forced to clutch at straws, but for the love of god, stop grabbing at all of the short ones. I get it; when you're a man that’s in the position that you're in, you need to do everything that you possibly can to try and create even the slightest form of credibility. Underwhelming performances; squandered opportunities - the story of Darkane’s career, ladies and gentlemen! You're try so hard to make yourself to be more than you really are, but use words that hold absolutely no merit. You call yourself a mountain that I'm going to struggle to climb come Pain for Pride, but I beg to differ. Do you remember what you said to me leading into Reasonable Doubt? You adamantly said that you were going to beat me down and skullfuck me, and you were gone before I even realised you were there. You professed that you were the person that would finally put Theron Nikolas down, and I walked into your world and conquered it. But, I'm meant to take you seriously now, Darkane? I don't want the world handed on a silver platter; I just simply want the things that I'm owed at this point, and if constantly being forced to hear that boils your blood - I don't give a fuck in the slightest. There is one constant that will happen at Pain for Pride, and will continue to happen while we still breath the same air. Theron Nikolas beata Darkane. Theron Nikolas will always beat Darkane. So, you can go off and cry in the shadows about how I constantly repeat the same message. You can cry about how all you did was simply answer an open challenge. Go off and do everything that's going to make you sleep better at night, because nothing will bring you close to that contract. That isn't a threat, that's I promise I wholeheartedly intend to keep.

“Silence is a true friend who never betrays.” - Confucius 

It has been an occurring question, why doesn't Cage speak? Why doesn't he use that colorful language were all use to hearing from him?

Cage says more with a look than he has ever said with his words. Cage says more with his actions than the going back and forth that you guys like to do, Cage doesn't speak because he doesn't have to. I'm basically preaching the law of Cage, and he enforces that law every time he steps in the ring and has to deliver another lamb to slaughter! A hungry CM Banks is something I've noticed recently, the fire is there, the intensity, I see it now and your a man looking to make a statement outside of your words but I'm afraid your words is going to be the catalyst of your downfall because your talking bullshit. Cage doesn't hide behind anyone, if anything I'm the voice of reason, the only voice of reason Cage tends to listen to. A man like you has probably never been on the brink of death but Cage surely has and that experience has turned him into something the world thought was something you use to scare children who are out of line. A monster, I will say you were right when you said when you were carrying EAW to great heights, Cage was just a small fish in the ocean, he was a spoke on the wheel. Even if he decided to leave and join the smaller promotions this company was still going to thrive, but you are a disrespectful little tapeworm for your claims of the only reason Cage succeeded in EAW was because EAW was in a “Weaker era”, so I guess you can say the only reason Impact became champion again and further cemented his legacy was because EAW was weaker? Or the reason Mr. DEDEDE can afford to get himself a god contract around here is because EAW was in this weaker era? That's bullshit, when you left EAW times were changing, EAW didn't get weaker, Cage just got stronger and no one expected the “hopeless untalented rookie” to rise to the top which he did. That just goes to show you that this company and you sure as hell don't know shit about talent, you support flavors of the month, I bet this company expected a Moonlight Predator or a Colin Kaline to be the faces of EAW after you departed but they flopped and busted while Cage was here fighting tooth and nail to the death proving that he is better than them all who was put ahead of him. 

Hell, Cage even went toe to toe with Mr. DEDEDE himself and beat the shit out of him, gave him the worse beatings he's ever taken in his entire life, Cage even took on Jaywalker in HIS match an Ultimate Submission Match and tapped him out, Cage on the very same stage you guys will do battle on took on Starr Stan in his type of environment, Elite Rules and beat the pure wrestling machine in his own game. If anything Cage has shown over the years he can adapt rather than perish and he's done it against the best this game has to offer so your claims of a weaker EAW is ignorant because Cage was swimming with the great whites of this company and surviving against them at that. You use that claim of a weaker EAW as a  last resort for you to come up with another crutch as to why Cage ascended in your absence.  Had you not come back, Cage would be in Cash in the Vault because HBB would not get in Cage's way and Cage would of exposed Scott Oasis, just like Lockdown in the Sovereigns of Supreme when he needed Cage and begged for Cage to team with him so he can keep his title, Ares made it clear it was his idea to approach Cage, they needed Cage. Cage didn't want nor needed to partake in this war, and he didn't need to be tag team champion for a short tenure with Lockdown, they needed him and he did Lockdown a favor and he's going to do Ares and Jaywalker a favor at Pain for Pride by partaking in this war and ensuring that victory is won for his side.  Talk of Cage joining Scott Diamond as one of your victims is something Cage doesn't laugh at but I bet he finds it hilarious because Scott Diamond is also a victim of Cage! Cage has had to live every single day of his life with someone telling him what his purpose in life is, and now your joining the fray telling Cage he is a servant of Jaywalker? Cage has more than one purpose and it is to shut people like you up, it is to get back to being the kingpin of EAW and this is a roadblock in Cage's way and like HBB, like anyone else who has gotten in Cage's way since Grand Rampage he'll run them down. You will find out your purpose and you will find out that as much as your fire burns and you have this passion to show that you can still hang in the ring, it is no match for the violent and angry storm that is approaching Pain for Pride in the form of Cage, you will find out what I already know and that is this version of Cage is the most violent and vicious and most dangerous man in the world, he's seen any and every kind of war to where Cage is willing to participate and willing to take all you have to give because when Cage delivers his best shot times up, the CM Banks story will come to an end and this time it won't be on your own terms. Cage will play judge, jury and executioner and there is nothing you can do about that.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
We’ll fight forever because that’s the only option. But first, let me shake this other bitch off for a minute.
 
Cameron, did you like rip this weak shit off from some sort of old HBG speech? Is this somewhere in her greatest hits? The whole I don’t agree with what you’re saying so I’m going to twist it around, say you were saying something else and then insult your intelligence. I thought you were Cameron fucking Ella Ava? I guess this year you decided to do your best Claudia Michaels impression. Maybe somewhere in that head of yours you thought since it worked for HBG last year and she beat Aria at Pain for Pride that it might work for you this time around. I’ve never believed in conspiracies. I’ve never agreed that there’s some behind the scenes force making decisions to fuck over our lives. We fight, we win or lose and then we have to deal with that shit. How many times this week alone have I mentioned that I’m not the champion because you cashed in, and I’m over it. We have this match and this is my chance to take it back, and I have every intention of the world of doing that while making you look like the worthless sack of surgical plastic that you are. But let’s back up for a second to the real argument at heart. The idea that you were somehow doing me a favor by keeping the old guard group running after the other defections or injuries or whatever they want to call it. That’s just total bullshit. By that time you already had the Empire Cup. The only reason for you to stick around me was to be ready. There’s no reason to hide around the corners from the truth here. There was never any kind of four OGs for life. Even with our alliance, I was never some sort of full-fledged member. To be brutally honest with you, I don’t even know where you got that idea. But to me, personally, the whole alliance always felt like it was supposed to be temporary. We were just exchanging a few ideas at the beginning. And then Kendra just hung around me like a damn leech. And you? You followed right behind like her merry little bitch. And when she was out of the picture, you actually stepped up and attempted to be the leader. But newsflash woman, there was nothing to lead at that point. I don’t fucking care what you did then. I know what I’m going to do now, and it’s so much worse than anything you can even imagine inside your head.
 
Do I believe you had it out for me? Yes. You’re Cameron Ella Ava. This isn’t my first month in EAW. I’ve seen your career. I know where its gone from here to there and what’s happened. There’s a reason you called yourself an OG with those other two. You’re as original as it comes to fucking over someone you’re allied with, or even being fucked over. And I know how it works, too. I’ve felt both sides of that as well. You had it out for me because I was the champion and in your possession at all times was the golden ticket to attempt to take it away from me. You did your duty as the cup holder, now I’ll do mine as the challenger at Pain for Pride that will bash your head against the mat so many times you’ll forget if your Cameron or Consuela. Remember, it’s Consuela Rose… I don’t know why so many people fuck that up. My desire to do that to you, though… it has nothing to do with revenge or redemption. There’s no fantasy cooking up inside my head involving either one of those. See, that all came true for me the moment I convinced dipshit Cleopatra to give me the spot I wanted in this match. Now I’ll do the rest all on my own. You can parade around all you want with that title for this week and you can shower yourself in your own dollar bills like the stripper you wish you could be, but at the end of this weekend you’ll have nothing but your past. And the future will be all mine. You might be a Hall of Famer, but someday people will look back on your time and say, ‘yeah, she was pretty good in her prime… but once that real revolution started she just couldn’t hang with the new guard.’ I didn’t want to be an OG because all it’s all old news. The past might have put together a foundation for the present, but the present improved it and made it better than you ever imagined. We’ve enjoyed letting you play the role of mentor for us, or at least pretending to, but at the end of the day all you care about is improving your legacy and holding it above all of our heads that the old way is still that much better than anything we have to offer. You’re straight trash. And coming out of Pain for Pride you’ll have nothing left to call your own. Look, Aria’s already counting you out of this. I’ll just kick you out of it.
 
You did make me laugh though with your failed attempt at being the chief bitch. Every time one of you dumb ass legends faces me it’s always the same line of bullshit. If I don’t beat you, I’m just going to float around Empire with nothing to do, just hanging my head. Last time you said that I made you look like a punk bitch. And even after that, you came around to the conclusion that I wanted to be your friend. The same person who would months earlier tell me that I not only don’t belong here, but that I was running out of time. Sometimes I wonder how the hell y’all were so successful here. You even suck at playing the role of the bully. You’re going to get your ass handed to you in a way you never ever imagined before. Aria’s going to hit you from the right, I’m going to kick you from the left and you’re not even going to understand what hit you. Because of all the women in this match, it’s somehow your own sins that put the target on you. No one in this match wants to take you out so badly because you’re the champ. Nah, me and Aria both know that come Sunday evening one of us will be the new champion. We just want to kick your ass and show just how pathetic you are, A year ago someone somehow used Aria losing at PFP9 as proof that the old guard still had a step up on this revolution of women. Fuck that. This year will prove exactly the opposite. This is out time now. So get the fuck out of our way.
 
You know Aria, I don’t want to blame you for that, but in a way I do have to just a little. You were a god damned world-beater back then. Everything was going your way. And you couldn’t take that match. You’re not the only one who comes into this event hoping it goes a different way for her. You had your heartbreak in losing last year. But I felt my own in coming this close to reclaiming the title I practically defined. I wanted to do that again, but it was robbed from me by stupid interference from Stephanie and even worse bitch assness from the OGs. These weren’t my ideas. Like I said already, if you’d taken that title in January I hope we would have had the chance to turn around and run that again a month later. But lately when you and I try to settle a difference some third-party can’t help itself but get involved.
 
You’re right. When it comes to me I’m only truly an underdog to a few women in this company and that’s only in their minds. Do I think that? Not really. But I have to get reminded of it all the time. There are few people in this world who think I’m good enough to be where I am right now. It’s not that crowded at the top and a few of those old road blocks have thinned out or gone on to do something else. But always in our world, I’m seen as only half as valuable as you. Like I’m not out here walking pace for pace with you and doing every damn thing I can to prove otherwise. Is it fair? Probably not. But don’t ever tell me to take the chip off of my shoulder that drives me to continue proving it to them, and proving it even more so to myself. And to you. To be quite honest it’s a little strange hearing you talk about my dad because, yeah, he is one of those few people that would support me no matter what I did or where I was going. And he’s always the one who told me to never stop pushing. At some point along the way we dreamed of him seeing me win for the first time at Pain for Pride. Our favorite event to watch together when I was growing up. Fuck, 10 years in and I sat in a living room and watched seven of those with him at my side. Last year he was right there to see me compete for the first time. This year I hoped he’d be right there to see me win for the first time at Pain for Pride. Even if he’s not there, I’d still win it just in his damn honor a million times in a row if I could. This match isn’t just about winning a title for me. So much of this defines everything I am and everything I wanted. I know you feel some of it too. I want so damn bad to get that feeling of winning a match on that main stage. It’s a dream that felt so close, but so far away a year ago. Now I feel it coming close again. Even if this is supposed to be the Aria Jaxon show or your big moment at redemption and everyone is behind you, even if the whole locker room is cheering for you, this is such a big freaking moment for me too. I can’t even put in to the right words how badly I want this. I just know that no matter what happens this weekend, I’m going to find a way to come out of that match as the champion. No matter what you or Cam try to throw at me, I know I’ll be ready to counter that into what ever I have to do to make sure I’m the one that wins this match.
 
We’re always going to fight forever. And someone telling us there’s always next match or there’s always next year is never going to be good enough. I don’t think people really understand that about us. I don’t think Stephanie knew that when she tried to get in our way this year. When me and you are in the ring together, nothing else even matters. Those other opponents don’t even stand a chance because of how competitive we are just within each other. Half of Cloud’s attacks seem to just bounce off like we were bulletproof, or as if we were so hot they just melted and we absorbed the punishment just to deliver it back. It’s going to be no different with Cameron in the mix. I swear when me and you are fighting it’s like just when you think on of has the upperhand the other one taps into some place that we didn’t know existed and brings it to another level. We know so damn much about each other, but yet we continue to somehow learn more and more each and every time we go out in the ring and throw down. Why should anyone expect that to change now? I guess you’ve learned enough about me that you know that a title holds such a place of security for me. It’s such a point of status in this place that sometimes it feels like the only thing that can ever remind anyone that I’m worth a damn. You’ve got me pinned down there. For anything I could just raise a title. More than a year ago I could just say, ‘yeah, I made the Vixen’s champ tap and the best Vixen of all time tap in back-to-back months,’ but after that I practically had to beat down doors to get any kind of opportunities. That’s why we have the Cailin Dillon we all know well today. Two years ago I’m not sure I could have imagined pulling Cleopatra on her desk and holding a pen to her eye. But what was that you said last time? Something about becoming the change you want to see? I don’t want to fight in an EAW where just two or three women will get all the chances for the Women’s title and I’ll somehow get forgotten. I took initiative and made sure I had this chance. I truly felt I deserved the chance to show I could fight Cameron for that title. And after missteps earlier this year, I wanted the chance to fight you again for it, too.
 
This title goes beyond some piece of treasure for me. I know the ultimate reward that equals for you. But for me it’s worth so much more. It feels like my right place. That’s where I feel most at home. And there is no other way, literally nothing else I could do that would make me feel the same way when I leave New Jersey. That sort of puts us at an impasse then doesn’t it? And this is exactly why we’ll probably spend the rest of our careers scratching and clawing, pulling at each other’s hair just for the chance to get a step ahead of the other one. Cameron proves every chance she gets that there’s nothing unique or organic about her. It’s just the same thing every single time. The same message of elitism toward every person who hasn’t been here as long as she has. But with us it just feels different to everyone. I know there are people who don’t know as much about our rivalry as they do you and Cam’s, but we’re the one that’s been boiling under the surface the whole time. Trying to one-up each other as a part of Formation. Both getting leery about joining Tarah’s crusade to topple the OG’s because we were steadfast and focused on going our own way. And the laser focus we show every single time we’re in the ring together. No one move can just put us away in an instance because your best move might just flip around in a fraction of a second and turn into me hitting you with my best move. We just operate on a different wavelength than they’ve even seen. They aren’t really used to it. But after Pain for Pride, it’s the only feud from this match they’ll be able to remember anymore. And it’s the only one that will just keep going and going. Because no matter which one of us comes out on top, the other one is going to immediately start figuring out how they can get right back to take another shot. While Cameron spots nonsense, you’re the only one who truly understands my motivations in this match and knows exactly where my hearts at. You’re the only one truly accepting just how much chaos I’m going to bring to the table. The other side, she doesn’t even want to believe it. She doesn’t want to accept it. But you’re the one that knows when I get in that certain mode and you can almost truly hear those distant sirens blaring… the lesser opponents will flee for cover before they truly get hurt. That’s what leaves me and you standing to take this thing in the end. I’m not taking the fall, and I’m not watching either of you walk out of New Jersey with that title. I’m taking it and bring it home where it belongs with the Empress of Empire. We both want a certain degree of redemption from last year’s Pain for Pride. And where there’s smoke, there’s fire. So if you try to make my dreams go up in smoke, I’ll burn all of yours into the ground to make sure mine still come true.
 
When the three of us walk into that ring this weekend, I imagine people will still be placing their wagers and going all-in on an Aria or Cameron victory. But when it’s all over the only think their going to be talking about is the darkhorse who was right under their noses all along. The one who was the first Women’s Champion and will soon enough be the first two-time Women’s Champion when she takes her title back at Pain for Pride. I’ll never be able to be the Vixen’s Champion, but this will always be my belt. I’m not here to take a participation award. I’m not about little plaques and certificates. I only fight for the top prize and that’s the one that’s coming home with me this weekend. All of you suckers and idiots can talk about Cameron and Aria until the cows come home, but the real deal is right here. It’s Cailin Dillon. Go ahead and overlook me, I like it better that way. It makes the celebration all that much more fun for me when I see the shock on your stupid, pathetic faces. Cameron, why don’t you go ahead and pick out your spot in the retirement home because that’s all you have left to look forward to after we’re done. Aria, I’m afraid you’re going to have to wait a little bit longer. That title is mine. There’s not a fucking thing either one of you can do to stop that. Believe that.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 
 

Colour a coloured man surprised, since when does Drastik hesitate in a match like this? It was quite common place, a quiet and lack luster championship reign, riddled with losses but desperate spurts of energy whenever something important was on the line. For the King of Elite crown, I couldn’t even turn around without a Drastik condescending speech thrown straight back at me, but right here at the biggest event of the year Drastik is slow to throw some shots? I almost thought I couldn’t tell time, but it’s way over 24 hours. Normally I’d take this as an opportunity to kick back, but then I remember Drastik, you’d never give anyone such a free pass yourself. You even went for the Stigmata on Voltage and attacked me when I let the lesser EAW guards be obeyed and decided to keep the battle for Pain for Pride.

It bothers me that it’s always got to be me that comes out here and exposes you. How does no else see it? How does an overhyped, emotionally unstable, bastard, somehow get defeated by me at King of Elite and still become the champion months after his return while I’ve been toiling for a world championship for years? Every time, there was always some reason to not give me my championship opportunity, always some deranged lunatic who couldn’t even remember our matches or the happenings of EAW somehow put in front of me on Showdown even after I pinned the damn champ one on one. But on Voltage, you cry and you complain about things you didn’t even merit in the first place, and they pull out that red carpet for you like you’re an elite celebrity without flaws, instead of the disgraced legend who should have had all the revelations on your character sink your name forever! It’s like you’re Hillary and Trump put into one, no scandal can hold you back, no crime can get you put away, left alone you’d be praised until the ends of time. Only when someone like me stands up with the pure force of will and unrelenting fighting can the people see you for who you are, when your measured face to face against what a real champion should be. Maybe after I take care of you for the world championship you can get a new job being Ahren Fournier’s hype man, I never got what your obsession with him was, but apparently at least he can pin a king, fake a king as Aren is. Plus, you were always better at creating hype than living up to it, so if you can’t walk the walk why not talk the talk for someone who just might have the potential to do so? Maybe at the next Pain for Pride I can be at the year stretch of my championship reign, and you can be standing right there on the outside managing your little boy toy as he tries to wrestle the championship away from a real man. See the way I see it Drastik, this has to be the last time for you, this was the last chance you had to prove that you could be everything you pretended that you were, but you blew that shot long before this contest, and I’m only going to take advantage of that fact to get what is mine.  

It’s twisted it has to come to this, but I’m not even angry or annoyed anymore, I’m merely resolute in getting the job done because NOTHING can get in my way of achieving this caper at Pain for Pride, the heist is too important to go off with any sort of hitch. I’ve got a bigger future to worry about, I’ve got my King’s Guard that are awaiting their ruler to claim the ultimate prize through the power of my king’s decree, I have the entire J-Dynasty who thought that I just might be the one who couldn’t hang to prove myself to, and most of all I have to prove it to myself that I can. My first year here, I didn’t even perform at Pain for Pride. The next, I watched my partner die for first time, as we were bested by men we knew we were ten times better wrestlers than! And as my partner Drake died a second time, and will never return, I know that this time around my Pain for Pride cannot go to waste, or I might as well join him in the grave. Because the people thought we peaked, two delinquents who had nothing further than great tag team wrestling and messing with people for fun, nothing more. But there was something more, damn it, I was a National Elite Champion before that idiotic brute Tybull threw me off track on my route to supremacy in this company! I’m not the schoolyard bully who is confined to picking on losers and then getting my butt whooped when they start standing up for themselves like that aforementioned bust and Pizza Boy, this crown isn’t King Bob’s toy to only rule over the recess jungle gyms, I am a legitimate competitor, and will become the number one guy in the company!

SHHHHHHHHHH, Aria. You talky too much.

Wow! Aria, you are so inspiring like the rest of the morons who show up in EAW admitting that they’re gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender or questioning themselves. Ladies and Gentlemen, there is no bother in my trying to retain the Womens Championship. It seems like it’s all predetermined for Aria Jaxon to right the wrongs of Pain for Pride 9 and walk away as the third ever Womens World Champion! I mean, what else can a woman, who has been within the company since the lovely age of twenty-one do? I mean, I’ve faced almost EVERY woman who has managed to walk through those doors. I’ve ended careers of women who barely had any potential to begin with. Yet, during my seven years in EAW, I haven’t met as someone as idiotic as you. As much as you try not to discredit everything I have done for EAW, you result to calling me “delusional” or someone who is not able to comprehend the method to my madness. Aria, I fully understand the competitor you are. You’ve been a throne in my side for the past year in the half. You remind me of that clingy ex-boyfriend of mine that would not leave me alone. The only way for him to get the message is for you to get rid of him once and for all. This has been the one thing that I have been needing to do. Not only for myself, but for the sake of EAW. Without you, EAW would not be infested by someone with ugly pink hair. It makes me wonder how many braincells died to get the color of your hair to be so bright? In this world, the only thing that there’s no answer too is how many licks does it take to get to the center of the Tootsie Pop? The world may ever know. Why you decided to have this issue with me lies in your pathetic attempt to be in the spotlight. It must have made your blood boil to say that there was no man or woman who could step toe-to-toe with me in the company. It must have been so difficult for you to watch me get rid of Chuck Scene for the third time in a row. This is the same guy, who made women like Aurora Rose and Eris LeCava shit their pants. In some way, I used that as someone that I wanted to do with the rest of my competition. I want them to look at me with slight intimidation. I want them to look at me and know that they are in a fight for their careers. Everything that you have been through will be brought into that ring at Pain for Pride. Not only for you, Aria, but for Cailin as well. During my road to become a champion, I was nothing, but loyal to the ones that brought the life back into my EAW career. As much of a bitch as everyone assumes I am, I can be very loyal to the ones I care about. I have always done my best to make sure that I made the women in the back live to a standard that Womens Wrestling should be. It took almost my entire career to get everyone to take me seriously, but thanks to me, you get to find yourself as one out of three competitors in one of the most talked about Womens Matches in Pain for Pride History. Do you think that people would have gave a rat’s ass if it was you and Cailin? I mean, it’s a confrontation that we’ve seen before at King of Elite. It’s become a thing in the past. I am the only refreshing thing in this match, which is captivating an audience. Would you have made it in the posters? Would you have been considered for a promotional video? As much as I have had my issues with Cleopatra, I get where she was coming from in this match. I totally understand why she made me face the both of you at Pain for Pride. It’s nothing difficult that Charlie Day could solve by connecting the dots. Why? It’s because the answer is right in front of us. EAW has faith in us. We could outshine most of the matches at Pain for Pride. If we manage to do that, Empire will be given more opportunities to showcase our talent. It’s a business thing, Aria. It’s not because you’ve been screwed over by almost ANY girl on Empire. It’s not because Cleopatra saw you work your hardest. I mean, you defeated me at Grand Rampage. Did I choke like you said in your last promo? I mean, for a woman who has been a part of some of your best matches in EAW, choking is not an option that would be used to describe the type of opponent I am. I’m ruthless. I am intelligent. I know what I need to do in order to get the job done. I know what I need to do to make people turn on the so-called “betting Gods”. I mean, is there ANYONE smart enough to believe that I am walking out of Pain for Pride as Womens Champion? What? Not a single fucking soul thinks that I can defeat you and Cailin? If I gave a damn, I would be so purely devastated. Honestly, people believe in cliché happy endings. Ariel becomes human and marries Prince Eric. Prince Charming fits the glass slipper on Cinderella and they live happily ever after. Princess Jasmine is allowed to marry who ever she wants and she picks Aladdin. You say, Aria. Everyone wants that happy ending. No single being wants a swerve to happen during this match. They want to see the mighty Aria Jaxon conquer the odds again! However, I’m the fucked-up person who likes a plot twist every now and then. As much as you like to say that Disney has the cliché storylines, take Princess of the Frog for example: as Tiana kisses the frog hoping that a Prince will reveal itself. In the words of Project EGO.


Tiana gets turned into a frog! You take a cliché saying of kissing a frog and your Prince will appear and you mindfuck everyone. That’s what I want this Pain for Pride to be. I want to surprise every individual in the crowd. I want to see the European crowd losing their fucking minds when I retain my Womens Championship. As much as you want to say that my reign as Womens Champion is going to end, it’s not. I mean, you were the same woman who claimed that she was going to defeat HBG at Pain for Pride and retain. What happened? As much as I like to point out your flaws and failures, I am going to do so again. YOU LOST. The one thing you expected was to have a successful title reign, but it must suck when things do not go the way you want them too. It won’t be because it will be “rigged” or “predetermined”. It won’t be because of politics. If there is the possibilities that The Avas can walk away with BOTH titles, it’s going to be this weekend. Why? It’s because The Avas are a force to be reckon with. Despite doing the right, wrong or whatever way, we get job done no matter what it takes. Go ahead, Aria. Say what you please. Say whatever helps you sleep at night when Aren is away. Say whatever your heart desires because you’ll be left speechless as I conquer my own odds and I leave Pain for Pride with the Womens Championship. Let’s see who will be the one in denial after that.

“The OGs was my worst idea.”

Well Cailin, that seems to be the fucking story of your ENTIRE EAW career. The Iconomy was a bad idea. Formation was a bad idea. The Sirens was a bad idea. I mean, there was a lot of shitty moves in your career that have been awful for you in return. The one thing that you forgotten was your worst idea was turning the back on the person that thought the best out of you. Sure, you can change this story as much as you want to benefit you. That’s the beauty of the EAW Network, you can always go back and EVERYONE will know who the right person in this situation is and that’s me! You could have gone into Sheridan Muller’s head any other way possible. You could have been fake and you could have pretended that you respect her. You could have pretended that this match was going to be a fair and square battle, but you didn’t. No, you wanted the attention of the world as you did so. What’s a way for everyone to give a damn about Cailin Dillon? Have her turn her back on the people that actually gave a damn about you. You not only turned on Sheridan, but you turned on your fellow Sirens. You turned on the pathetic fans that bought your merchandise. I mean, as you approach Pain for Pride, do you think that was the best decision that you made? Or are you slowly beginning to realize that you turned your back on everyone and it might not be worth it in the end? It’s these moments in which you could wish for something to look into the future. With risky decisions in our careers, there is never telling how it will pay off for us in the end. I mean, we can always envision the moment where we have the title raised above our heads; however, that’s all it will ever be to us, just a vision. It’s just a vision before our goals become our reality. I mean, my vision of course wasn’t to face the two of you at Pain for Pride. To some, it can be said that I’m making my own bed by defending my title against the two of you. As for wanting you in the match, I am fully understanding of the rematch clause in our EAW contracts. If I had the decision to face you or Aria, it would have been you. Why? I think Cam vs. Cailin is a Pain for Pride match in which can get everyone invested in. Sadly, I’m just a wrestler. It’s not like I can book whatever match my heart desires. It’s not like I can give myself an easy challenger like La Diva and call it a night. That’s only in my perfect world. Old timers? Not defending? Longer reigns? Brody Sparks says hi, Cailin. I mean, if you want to look a new time who only defended her Specialists Championship four times in the last six months, you might want to give her a call. During our small alliance, I have never thought of you a negative manner. I wasn’t planning anything behind your back. You weren’t the only person I could have cashed in the Empire Cup. Like I said before, I could have cashed it in on Brody with no problem at all. The thing is: Consuela vs. Brody was the first Pain for Pride match announced. I couldn’t do that to my twin. I couldn’t take away what could potentially be her shining moment in EAW. Cailin, you should know how compassionate I am about the Womens Division. I am just a compassionate and great person. I should be valued as a wonderful asset in EAW. I am taking the women to the next level. I have brought the best out of EVERY female on Empire. A victory over me seems like something so rare that EVERYONE wants a piece of it. I can’t help it that I’m just so great and fantastic. I can’t help that I raised a bar that no one can reach. I mean, Aria did think that she could be Hardcore Champion. We all know what happened to her though. Cailin, it seems like I am going to have to say this for the millionth time—you have no fucking clue how the Empire Cup worked. I am allowed to cash it in anytime, anyplace and anywhere. I am allowed to use the Cup in any way I desire. I mean, are you going to lie to yourself and claim that you wouldn’t have done the same thing I did? I mean, I know for a fact how much a fucking liar you can be. There is no way you are going to look me in the eyes and claim that you always fought fairly when you had to BEG to me and Kendra Shamez to help you retain your title by getting rid of Aria Jaxon? But, you’re still a fighting champion right? I mean, in your Specialists Championship reign? Sure, I’ll give you that one. In your Womens Championship reign? Not a fucking chance. I mean, you claim that you only wanted our help at Shock Value. But, you came to us at MALICIOUS INTENTIONS. We could have said no, but we never say no to a begging, desperate bitch like you. You think that you can take this title back and you would never rely on any help? Not even from me, but from Stephanie Matsuda or anyone? Yeah, I’ll give it a month before you crumble like a cookie. But, your month doesn’t begin after Pain for Pride. I suppose, you’ll get another shot, but it won’t be under my expense.

Your bravado was expected, it maybe too late to tell you to tread lightly but I will say you are letting your mouth write a check your ass can't cash. This talk of giving people reality checks is cute and wonderful but if anyone needs a reality check it is you because you are living in a fantasy that has you downright delusional. You live in this fantasy world where Cage has given his balls to Jaywalker when that isn't the case, if anyone is to blame for Cage's involvement in this war it is the depleted, Heart Break Boy for sticking his nose in Cage's business but do you acknowledge that fact? No you just look at it as Cage doing the bidding for Jaywalker, but let's cut the fact that HBB got in the way of Cage and let me explain to you that Cage does what he wants when he wants to do it so if he wanted to participate in this war which he is clearly doing then by all means Cage would participate in this war and see it all the way to it's conclusion which he will, if Cage wanted to tell Ares and Jaywalker to go fuck themselves he would have. He's his own man and your claims of Cage being that of a servant and belittling himself to allowing another man to tell him when to strike or what to do period is asinine. It is that a historic weekend that is approaching, Cage being enshrined forever into the EAW Hall of Fame, and I'm sure it would boost your ego to say you scored a win over Cage and the rest of his allies the weekend he was inducted into the Hall of Fame but I assure you that is a dream and the sad thing about that dream is you have to wake up from it and realize your playing with fire, this fire will burn the flesh off your bones. It is an interesting chain of things to look at you know, without Banks theirs no Jaywalker, without Jaywalker theirs no Cage. So are you trying to take credit for Cage's success in this company? Everything leads back to you? I mean I can't say I'm surprised I mean if it feeds your ego go ahead and live with that claim but who are we to know what the future would hold? You can be advocated and mentored by a demon you still won't live to be as successful as Satan. So does it really matter who mentored who? At the end of the day someone has to stand on their own two feet and that is what Cage has done, didn't need Jaywalker as a crutch to help him go everywhere and get to where he has gotten. I don't have to talk about the victories Cage has scored over your teammates because it goes without saying Cage showed the Golden boy is no more, and yes Ares did get involve in Cage's match and Cage wasn't none to happy about it because it gives you ammunition Banks, it gives you something to talk about out of that big mouth of yours in which you would throw claims of “Cage couldn't beat Dubian on his own”, excuses is all it is and that is why Cage didn't approve of Ares getting involved in the match. 

Nonetheless, your team has been a well oiled machine taking L's, with you yet to step in the ring yet you throw the first punch in this war of words, you throw the first blow because this is where you strive, you live by what comes out of your mouth yet your talking shit and all we've seen from you is that your playing childish games. Like stirring the pot, trying to get into the head of Cage and make him see whose really the enemy in this war. The enemy is whoever is in Cage's hindsight and nothing you say or do will remove Cage from targeting you and executing you, with that said the good thing for YOU is that this match isn't one on one because if it was you'd be exposed, you'd be shown for what you really are and that is another old racehorse who didn't realize his legs were too fucked up to run with bulls! But you've been blessed with a team, to carry the excuses of why you were beaten and you can place the blame on them and still promote yourself. At the end of the day your all about branding, I mean Mr. Instant Burial I've got to give it to you, you've branded the hell out of yourself over these years to where people see this match and your return as something to look forward to. The  money coming into this company is just, it's going to be something I can tell you that much but you asked a very serious question to Cage, “Was it worth it?” I mean Cage has had to ask himself that not just his entire career but his entire life, is it worth snorting those lines of coke just to make it to another town? Is it worth jumping off this ladder to give these people something to go home happy with? Is it worth it to even be alive? Cage has shown he doesn't care about any of that as long as the ends justify the means and they will! But as for Cage being “lucky this isn't 2011” are you implying in 2011 you were something better? Because MAYBE just maybe if it was 2011, Cage would have something to fear, even then I'm sure he wouldn't fear you because you were getting your ass kicked by Mutiny, a group that isn't even remembered by this newer generation in EAW. You were getting decimated by a group consisting of King Cliff who is a faded memory, MosesX which is a name I haven't heard in five years, and Scott Diamond whose been an on and off fuck up and hasn't been able to achieve a modicum of success since nearly ending this company and not giving you a fucking Pain for Pride to come back to. But who am I to say anything right? Cage was a small fish living in your ocean in 2011, but this has been a long time coming for you. You walked around this company thinking your shit doesn't stink and you were untouchable and you walk with the same swagger five years later but I have bad news as your theme song says, time is running out. It's early now and you'll have time to speak and preach your propaganda and the world will listen to your tired lame ass shtick of you saying that your going to prove that you haven't loss a step, that's the BIG difference in this match. You have something to prove, Cage doesn't. Cage has already proven that he is what he says he is, the most dangerous entente walking the planet, the omen of things to come, when you see Cage he's bringing hell with him. But you have to prove that this return isn't you scoring on a big payday or you thinking you can fool this newer generation in EAW with your godlike complex to further your brand but I promise you Banks, you will fail. You will lose, and it isn't going to be Cage looking up at the bright lights after taking your finisher, you'll be the one looking up at the lights and I'll ask you the very same question you presented Cage with, was it worth it?

Pain for Pride 3

Darkane, you speak with such vigor and anger. I’m shaking my dear friend like a dog shitting razor blades. Legitimately frightened of a clothesline over the ropes from the scary mean man better known as Darkane….. Do you think I am afraid of you or anybody else in this match? I am from the mother fucking 313.  Keep thinking of me as, how did you put it a “meager pup,” and this fucking Silver Back will sail your punk ass over the top rope like the pile of shit you truly are. You see I could really careless what you think of me, if you see me as “filler” so be it. I will have my chance to prove you wrong once I step between those ropes. But nothing would be worse for you and your career if someone who is considered “filler” is who tossed you out on your ass and eliminated you right? You see the thing about being “filler” as you liked to call it is I have absolutely nothing to lose. You never want to contend in a fight with a man who has nothing to lose. Once again keep sleeping on me, keep considering me “filler,” you will find out soon enough that over confidence is a flimsy shield. I don’t need you or any of the other elitists in the back to believe in me, no one ever thought I would make it this far to begin with but I have proved my doubters wrong time and time again.

You see by no means do I think this match is going to be a walk in the park, by no means do I think that I am going to walk in and throw out every single person in this match in two minutes and have my hands raised in victory. I realize that, that is probably not going to be the case. But from the day I was born I have been a survivor, I think my odds are as good as anyone else’s in this match. I am not going to be shook because there are Hall of Famers stepping into the battle royal. They bleed the same way that I bleed, they sweat the say way that I sweat and they can be beaten the same way that I can be beaten. Same as you Darkane. While I respect them and their accomplishments anything can happen in this match. I must survive, just like I survived the streets, just like I survived prison. This is my chance for redemption, to prove to the world that I wasn’t just a thug. To show that anyone, anywhere with enough hard work and dedication can reach the goals that they aspire for.  

The Miracle Child From the 313 will be ready for this match. People like Darkane can continue to doubt me, it’s just pouring gasoline on a lit fire that is burning inside me. I know what I can do when I step between those ropes. I know that I am one of the best damn wrestlers in the world today and soon enough my opponents will get to see it up close and in person. You don’t have to believe me, but soon enough you will respect me. When that bell rings at Pain for Pride the world will get to see what I can do, what the Human Highlight Reel is capable of and I will leave it all in the center of the ring in front of the thousands in attendance and the millions watching from the comfort of their couches at home.
