“What MITSU is trying to achieve against Drake Armstrong at Grand Rampage is not going to come to fruition. He's known for not showing up at the big moments!” - Sports Show Guy
“We really appreciated the things that MITSU have done, the representation that he's shown, but this is just not it. He has to hang his boots.” - Japanese Citizen
“He knows that this is his third attempt at doing this, right? I don't think he knows when to give up. That doesn't mean he'll finally succeed.” - Fan
“Give me one occasion where MITSU showed up when he needed to. JUST ONE. You see? You can't get any because this is not the man you rely on to give you wins. He's not the striker that you put in the game to score goals. He's good at dribbling but he's nowhere near decent at shooting. He can't execute it. He won't do it. You'll see it at Grand Rampage. MITSU, A FRAUD.”
How much more are they going to doubt you? How many more times do I have to perceive audibly, the derogatory remarks made against me without me knowing. These people talk behind my back at any chance that they can get. They seized the chance to put dirt on my name with petty insults that did little to nothing towards my development. It's not easy living as an elitist when there's nothing else behind your back except for the hate. The only thing that I'm carrying is my own reputation and now it's getting questioned. Now I'm getting interrogated with the people who are curious as to what I actually want. Am I here just to go after a championship, pop a bottle of champagne and call it a good night? Am I here to improve my own image, and purge it into something that is clean and pure? What is the purpose behind everything that I've done? In the last four weeks against Drake Armstrong voluntarily, what actually was the thing that I was trying to attain? Welcome to the full telling of sorrow, a speech that might affect the outcome of this match, or maybe not. I'm sorry that I cannot start off my sentence with a fancy paragraph or metaphors to go with, but I'm a man with no English proficiency to be coming up with those ideas. Maybe you can study it from my language, Drake. Maybe that's what you're going to do. In Japan, we tend to follow the advice of our elders through proverbs. Proverbs that we consider important in our daily lives. Let me sound one out for you. Takami no Kenbutsu. That fits you perfectly, in a sense where it's uncanny, it might even be made just to describe you. Spectators at the heights, looking down on others, not realizing that doing so just leads to ignorance. It just leads to isolation. I have another one for you. Fujisan fumoto ni ari, me o tojite no kane ga mieru. Even with your eyes closed, you can see money at the foot of Mount Fuji. You're a man who's known to be boastful. You're the man from the Armstrong Dynasty, are you not? You're the personification of the word Rich, you're class. You're Drake Armstrong, the future, but that doesn't mean that you already have your foot in the sky. That doesn't mean that you've already hung your banner inside of any arena. That doesn't mean that I'm supposed to look at you differently. Even with the beautiful Interwire Championship on your shoulder, and even if the media is against me, you have to make sure to always stay down. If you think you're up for even a second, trust me, you couldn't be more wrong. For I have challenged the greatness of the King of Elite, while in a failed attempt, I showed him that I'm not just some kind of bum that brings no value to the table. I gave him a run for his money and as much as he wants to brush that off as nothing, it was well received enough by everybody else that they let me come after you. It was enough to show them that well, here I am, and I'm going to challenge for this championship once again. What were the other two occasions? What happened last time?
Wait. I'm not going to do that. I'm not going to do that anymore, because that's one thing that I knew was holding me back. Glad to hear from you, I've had a blast this past week, preparing for this match and I believe that I'm a bit ready. Now, you guys already know that Drake has doubled down in his opinion and he's standing on it. He's not changing any views. Ever since he had his coronation as the new Interwire Championship, he hasn't shown his true potential, because as much as I disagreed with a lot of things that he has said and the words that he has conveyed are more or less condemned to me, I must always admit that sometimes he's right. That man speaks with integrity, he speaks with a well thought out process that required some filter before he chose to even upload it on the Internet for everyone else to see. But dictionary aside, what he is supposed to be is a character. Drake Armstrong serves as nothing more than a caricature. An example of every single attitude that you want to avoid in your lives but unless you're some kind of an egotistical douche, you'd probably not see the magic within this idea of being Drake Armstrong. He was born on a path to greatness, the stork sent him down for him to succeed almost immediately, growing well entering the world of wrestling and it took him less than years to even show out at the biggest stages, and look at him now. His first championship reign, more than anybody else that has done their service for more than 5 years even. He has more championships in less time compared to like tenths of the elitist on this land, myself included. If that does not show Drake Armstrong as a threat, then I would consider myself doofus and a dumb idiot. But then again, before we praise somebody, we have to look back on the receipts. As much as I would love to give you compliments and credits, there's nothing more that I would love to do other than to put you down. Grand Rampage will be the true reason why you're going to snap out of this behavior that has already been within you. People always say that a first defense never does anything for the champion. It's predictable, obviously you're going to win! But they shall be reminded of one thing. One goddamn thing that I believe everyone should look at. While a first defense usually just serves as a beginning towards a long run, it shapes the run as a whole. Whenever people finished their match against me, as their first defenses, that just proved that the championship reign is going to be amazing. It's going to be magnificent after they did it against me because like it or not: facing MITSU gives you a great first impression. I've been unsuccessful, I know. I've failed, and I'm aware of it. But you mentioned something that fits my narrative more than anybody else's.
The ability to withstand the waves and for me to keep going, honestly I'm surprised that this has been unnoticed by the people in the Land of Elite. Only the best would thrive in the environment and with the gold on your waist, you can proudly make a claim for yourself. But that's not what I'm focusing on. I don't agree with your story because we've seen right behind the curtains. Oh, the great Drake Armstrong and how well he's done for himself. He has shut his doubters out, but without him realizing, he just made them even more skeptical each week. One thing that he's always blinded by is his own ability to manipulate his situation making it look like an honorable run when it's been filled with nothing but shameful acts coming from a guy with dirt on his hands. Yeah, yeah. We're always going to cope with the same excuse that is your defensive mechanism. As long as it helps you win, you do your job and we shall go home and just shut up. Screw that idea. I'm not here to listen to a TED talk of a man who's not able to get the job done as a New Breed. I'm here to call out a man who's full of pride but no honor. As much as I can give you your dues, I don't agree with your ideologies and philosophies. This whole biblical speech with the buzzwords that's sponsored by Merriam-Webster, this isn't what interests me. I've heard this before, just like how you've heard me say the same things before. The same thing that's known to be the typical things used to be said to MITSU. And the problem is, it's never changed yet. None of my opponents have decided to come after something new, it's always recycled, it's always the same thing and I know I might commit the same mistakes. But that doesn't warrant you the rights to come after me like that, what makes you different? What is it, the thing that makes you stand out, Drake? Clearly, I'm not seeing anything bright coming from your mind and yours supposedly the new big brain of this company. Back with another repetitive talk about how I've been going up and down inconsistently, it's about how my nature is failing and how I'm never going to reach the heights that I wish I could reach. The story of me chasing after that very championship that I haven't even gotten for the 3 years that I've been here, trying to get it but it never happened. What did I do? I kept losing in high profile matches, I made a lot of mistakes. I know, Drake. I know about all of that, at how much I've plateaued and I've been in the same straight line. But I've never been released, Drake. I've never been fired and let go against my will, I was never kicked out at that. I was always the guy that they expect to show up every single week and here I go talking about how hard I work, because GOD DAMN IT DID I WORK HARDER THAN A LOT OF OTHERS. I worked harder than the New Breeds who are now just going to be eating in the catering. I've worked way harder than the veterans who show up once in 3 months to put over a new champion, I've worked way harder than the people coming after world championships, have I not deserve anything worth of note? What do I have to do until I can get there, Drake? Do I have to resort to stooping as low as you did, and start getting a little bit filthy in my matches so that I can finally get something in my hand, like a win? I know you're way better than that, and I know I'm obviously above that mentality. What do I have to do, because what exactly do I need to do, to make sure that everyone's satisfied including me? There's nothing more painful than a desire that is left unfulfilled. Nothing worse than a wish that I haven't granted. That championship means more to me than beating you, that's the love that I've never got to touch, the true meaning and embodiment of workhorses. People with that championship shall represent the best out of the elitists who can showcase themselves as the reason why EAW is considered to be the Land of Elite. It's about that in-ring prowess, it's always about that discipline and the perfect characteristics that are built based on the observations of the crazy amount of elitists who have put their blood and soul on the line to get to where they are. You've gone through your rough patches, lost to Machina and didn't get to finish that story, but you bounced back by showing up against Cy Henderson. You did that at such a young age and now you're in the hall of the champions. You've already etched your name in history because God gave you that. And now it's my turn to be gifted, but apart from me, nobody sees it. You have a reason to be proud of yourself, you're nominated for awards, you're given weekly reactions talking about how much potential they see in you. While me? I can just look at myself tied up in an hourglass. My time is up until I get eaten alive by irrelevancy. I've worked my ass off to not be another one of those elitists that went nowhere after a good streak. I've reinvented myself more than anybody else, coming up with new plans that I have to think of every single week because I know that if I mess it up again, I'll be back. I don't assault you for that, though. I don't assault you because I need your clout. Never has it ever been about MITSU wanting to face Drake Armstrong. It's not because of you. But you are the man with something that I really want. You're the man with the possession that others don't even consider valuable but to me it's everything that I ever need. In fact, if it wasn't for that, we probably could've been best buddies. I would love to go golfing with you, renting private jets for the two of us to travel around the world. But unfortunately, I can't let you have it. Hey. This is a short one. I'll come up with something better just for you. I thought of sending you a short message of a warning. But then you start coming after my people.
Your loss.
