...According to you two, it would be in my best interest to pass the torch.
*winces* If I had a nickle-- let me hold that thought.
According to you, Mr. DEDEDE no longer has to carry this business anymore, he can ride off into the sunset basking in his own glory and leave everything to the new kids in town. There's nothing left for him to prove! No reason for him to continue on with anything; the Savage Ryans, being tag champion, being World champion, it's all meaningless. All pointless, you've done enough DEDEDE. You've won enough, God. That. Right there.
That right there. That, right there, right there, that, that, THAT... that's the difference between success stories and sob stories. The difference between winners and losers.
In the movies, the hero always seems to die at the right time. Even if he isn't murdered, there's always that point where he rides off into the sunset with his riches and lives happily ever after. The hero dies when the credits roll, and we all grew up watching the Disney movies with the ending credits rolling showing the happy home, the perfect life and the dragon slain in the distance. I remember when I thought life worked like that. That's actually why I got into wrestling... so I could have that happy ending where I stand at the turnbuckle with the world title and the ending credits roll down the screen and... who knows, maybe my consciousness slowly slips back into eternity from whence it came. But let's snap back to reality, can we? It's been seven years since being a major star in this business, and I've yet to see those credits roll. Let's take it back to real life and you can name the legend, name the sport. The real "heroes" the real "greats" never knew when to quit. It's the sad truth of the matter. I'm by no means calling myself a hero, that's the last thing I'd ever want to be called.... it's too warm and mushy, and far too sentimental for my taste, but I know for a fact that gene WINNERS carry is inside of me, and there's no way you can convince me when its my time to go whether it is or it isn't, so quit trying. At this point it's not even on my mind, we saw George Foreman fight into his mid 40's and become World Champion a decade after his first run, and I know for a fact that same gene that refuses to acknowledge time as a factor lives within, because for nearly the last six years I've had countless people try the same thing you two are trying now. "Give up". "Pass the torch"."Stop trying to be a winner". "Step out of the spotlight". "Let it go". Year after year, it's the same damn thing from you people... and ironically enough I find myself hearing this kind of thing the most just as I'm on the precipice of a new prime, JUST as I'm on the edge of further glory, that seems to be when people doubt me the most! Ahhh.. just a year ago I was entering one of the most uphill battles of my career when I had to win a ladder match just to compete in the Grand Rampage, and then I had to fight in that match entering at number 1. The reason why I'm even bringing this up is because you guys might think the recent failure Ryan and I endured is supposed to be crippling, but I faced very similar types of failure before and eventually it all lead to me winning my fifth World Championship reign and having the longest title run of my career, knocking down every obstacle standing in my path! I TOOK ON EVERYTHING! I beat EVERYONE! EVEN YOU COULDN'T TAKE THAT WORLD TITLE FROM ME, AREN! Old man DEDEDE was in a new prime, I was better than ever! Sounds like I'm talking about my glory days right? Sounds like I'm reminiscing of the glory days of SNY and AWF... oh.... oh wait.....
........... That was less than six months ago.
You see.. you rugrats love to flap your gums and say the darnedest things sometimes, it's adorable. Every year guys like you come around saying the same damn thing, but your actions never follow through. It literally never happens, you guys. It never happens. It never happens! IT NEVER HAPPENS! Year after year I'm told to take my ball and go home by you insolent little fucks, and year after year I achieve even greater success than the year I did before. So what makes 2015 any different? A few FPV losses? I was pinned by Adam six years ago. I lost to Justin Windgate five years ago. I was forced to retire four years ago. I was shoved off a titantron three years ago. I was eliminated in 12 seconds at the Grand Rampage two years ago, and I had my company usurped from me just last year. I lost, I failed over and over and over and over again in my career, in my life, and for some reason I'm still a winner. Go figure. There are people who literally think I never lose, it's something I've actually considered branding. Picture this on a t-shirt: "LOL. DDD. WINS." It's catchy isn't it? I figure it'd fly off the rack faster than my
#ThatsGod shirts. But let me ask you why despite the brutal and sometimes embarrassing failures I've gone through in my career, my name is still synonymous with greatness? Why is that? Why aren't I this big "failure" despite all the times I've failed? You want to know why? Because life had something to teach me and I learned every step of the way. Still learning now. A month ago my mind state was completely different. A month or so ago I spoke in parables, in riddles and metaphors which is something I enjoy doing, especially as "Methuselah"... but more than that I was a one track mind and I was on the train ride to hell, trying to drag as many people down with me as I could. I'm a hellbent individual in nature, but as Methuselah I was hellbent on pain and suffering, on destruction, brutality, carnage and wrath and I had enough to go around... but even then I realized I had to take a long look in the mirror for once.
I truly believe that with as much as life had to teach me, it's got something for all of us. I truly believe life has something to teach the two of you this week. I think you'll learn something real valuable about yourselves when Ryan and I retain these titles. Aren, you in particular are going to learn a lesson in entitlement. You're goddamned right I'm entitled, Mstitslav. I'm an entitled piece of shit who thinks EAW belongs to him. I act like I created this company, but what separates me from many is that I'll defend that entitlement with my life. I've defended this COMPANY with my life. I'll defend these tag team titles with my life. I fought for everything, fucking everything I've ever gotten and the hardest part about it all is keeping it. If there's anyone who knows anything about keeping what they've fought for it's me. I've done this for years, and I understand you win some and you lose some, but my entitlement isn't based on others, it's based on me keeping what's mine. You on the other hand have got a completely different sense of entitlement and it's really a foolish and rather fruitless sense because... if it were up to you I'd drop those titles at your feet in the center of the ring and walk out of EAW with my tail tucked between my legs. Chicks like you come into this company every day, every single day and they'd love nothing more for me to let the youth reap what I've sown. That's not how it works Aren. That's not how life works you guys. That's not how life works you guys. That's not how this world works you guys. That's not how this world works you guys. That's not how this world works. Jesus fucking-- don't you two have FATHERS? Didn't your fathers teach you anything at all about hard work??? Do you honestly think I'm going to stop just because some Russian immigrant princess wants an easier shot at the World Championship? How do you even think that benefits you? What do you think it does for your character when everything's easier? Do you HONESTLY think the world revolves around you? It doesn't Aren, it doesn't, it doesn't Aren, it DOESN'T, AREN. I know I made it hard for you guys on Dynasty when I was World Champion because I specifically remember when you would challenge me, whether in exhibition competition or fighting for my title in the Elimination Chamber and what happened? You failed. You failed every single time. Every single time you tried to dethrone me, to make a statement, to use me as a stepping stone I swatted you like a fly. You should be glad I was there to swat you like a fly, you should have let it make you stronger instead of allowing it to make you resentful towards me, like I'm this bad guy dangling meat too high over the head of a young pack of starving wolves. And you act like I'm this out of touch, past his prime geezer all of a sudden when I ruled over you as World Champion and this wasn't even six months ago Aren. What's six months? What's six months Aren? Is that enough time for you to get better? Is that enough time for you to grow in ability and defeat me this time? Prove it. You haven't. Your partner hasn't. Your RAGNAROK brothers haven't, so tell me again why anyone should ever bet on you walking out of the GR as tag champs. Go ahead, enlighten me.
According to you it's high time these "newer people" get the spotlight, newer people like Lucian Black who's been a compulsive failure since 2009 and is going to fail again against Tyler Parker. Or TLA who's barely spent a cup of coffee in EAW. Are you sure this isn't just that pity complex EAW's developed over the years working within you? That seems to be the case these days.... we feel so bad for the underlings to the point guys like Mr. DEDEDE are the big bad wolf who "*whimpers* keeps on winning over and oooover and oooover again and people become soooo tiiired of Mister DEDEDE winning all the time, waaaahhhhh DEDEDE wins alll the timmeee boo, give the newer guys the torch!" Fuck you. You whimpering soft pieces of fuck, this is a meritocracy, I ain't got no inheritance to give you motherfuckers. I can't hand Ryan Savage three out of my five World Championships when I retire, I cant hand you two flat scans my three tag team title reigns when I retire, and I wouldn't even if I could; I'm not handing anybody shit! Ryan Savage has been able to carve out his path on his own, and that analogy you made was horrible Matt Miles,it was god awful, because Y2Impact established the Quintessential Trailblazers with Jaywalker when he had an established career in the books, there's no way you could take that away. Ryan Savage's career is still young, and beating Xavier Williams for the New Breed title should be irrelevant by now, it should only be the beginning of a vast resume. My name casts a huge shadow, sure it does, and I won't say he's in my shadow but the pressure's sure as hell on him now because his affiliation with me forces him to make his star brighter and to work harder. Not everyone's as much of a lazy fuck as you two, sorry. My bad, my fault, sorry. Gotta work harder now that DEDEDE's around, sorry. I apologize, my fault, I'M SORRY. Hopefully your theory can die now, because this is about the EAW tag team titles. These titles are a crown of achievement, but they're much more of a stepping stone than they are an ankle weight. Ryan's got all the time in the world to do as he pleases during our run as the Savage Ryans and after our run is done, he's got a whole career ahead of him. He's got three world titles he can contend for, he's got a slew of competition ahead of him, he's got years and years of youth in his bones, and even if and when he becomes a Hall of Famer he can compete for the Hall of Fame title too. The skies the limit after the tag team titles, that's the beauty of it. How many people in EAW started off as tag team champions just to become greats in the long run? Look at RoViper, look at Starrpact, look at The Backstabbers, people move on Miles. To assume Ryan won't ever get over the status hump of tag teaming with me after many others have gone on to do great things after being affiliated with me is asinine and flawed... FLAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWEDDDDDDDD logic.
You've gotta take a step back Matt Miles and escape from this box you're in, because you're still under the impression that there's a chance for some sort of inevitable meltdown between Ryan and I, but you still can't deny that our bond is much stronger than RAGNAROK's, as a team between you two and as a whole. Like I said, I don't care if you drank milk from the same breast, I don't care if you were fetuses holding hands in your surrogate mothers womb, I don't care if you were grown in the same insulator in the same science lab in Nevada, you haven't been through the same trials as a team that Ryan and I have. Fuck your "two years ago" bullshit. If Ryan and I are good at anything its tearing bonds to shreds, because we -- especially me, I have a knack for taking peoples whole perception of themselves and tearing it to pieces. Need an example? Look in the mirror. Norman Hellion had doubt creeping in when we absconded those titles from your camp, and that doubt nearly destroyed your entire faction. But you're not in a box because of your doubt Miles, you're in this box because your attention is completely diverted from the real matter at hand: how are you going to beat us? You haven't given us that. You haven't given us how, you haven't even given us why. All you have are these petty what-if scenario's where Ryan Savage gets so tired of my shit that maybe just maybe he takes me out in the middle of our match and hands you two the gold. I know that's what it's all about for you, but let me tell you something, if Ryan and I have managed to survive as a team even after I'd take the last piece of chicken from the KFC bucket, we damn sure can survive the "REALLY GOOD" guy trying to plant seeds of doubt in our minds, thank you very much. By the way I know it's hypocritical of me to use that whole "REALLY GOOD" cliche since I usually hate when people resort to cliche's but seriously, are we just supposed to pretend you know what the fuck you're talking about when it comes to tag teams? And I'm supposed to even put you in the same category as Ryan Savage just because of one heated rivalry between Scott Oasis -- in which you LOST? Take a look what puts you on the map, kiddo, and then take a look at us. Night and day. I sort of feel childish even comparing myself to you, but come on.
You two are already off to a bad start and you're going down a dangerous road with your line of thinking. People always think I go out of my way to manipulate and intimidate my opponents and that may be true for the most part, but it's often their mentality that has them down for the count before I ever step into the ring with them. Forget about the ridiculous technicalities, what-if scenarios and reason
#389 why Mr. DEDEDE should retire and focus on the task at hand. I'm not asking you to lay down and admit defeat, but god damn it at least get the hint. Haven't you seen enough remains on this battlefield to know what you're getting into by now? Haven't you seen enough animal tusks to avoid the very obvious traps set up... by the animals themselves!?!? The tree isn't the real killer of the dead men who hang from it, it's merely the grave the dead man chose.......... don't know where I was going with that analogy......... oh, right okay now I remember. I'm expecting a clinic this weekend. I'm expecting your talent to amount to a competitive, challenging, and in a sadistic kind of way, "fun" match. But often times people who face me throw the whole "spotlight" thing in my face along with a bunch of other crap that's not going to amount to a damn thing once they're in the ring with me, face to face and can't fight their battle with words. In a results-oriented world, people get caught up with the insignificant bush league bullshit, but on the big stage that's when things become a lot more primal. Don't worry about the bond between Ryan Savage and I, we'll be okay. Worry about yourselves, because talent aside, what kids like you often find out the hard way is that on the big stage, in the big fight scenario, your own worst enemy is you.
