FORGET EVERYTHING YOU THOUGHT YOU KNEW.
We live in a society where it’s eat or be eaten.
Nigga you thought?
Thought I was just going to let myself be passed by?
I live by the beat of my own drum, and I am the real draw. I’m the one that this company needs to bring in the money, to bring in the people, and whether they hate me or love me, they come to see me. And you thought I would let someone like Bea Valentine pass me by?
THINK NOT.
I have come too far to let it all be ripped away from me now, and yeah, you may not like the way I went about it, you may not like the new turn I have taken but do you think I care anymore? Care about what you think? Care about what the people think? Nah. Because I’m in this for me. I’ve said this for years now, I’m one selfish ass motherfucker. Everything I’ve done for the benefit of this era is so that they could look to me and realize I’m the real frontrunner of this shit, I’m the one that brought them all of the success that they could have ever wanted. But these ungrateful motherfuckers could never understand that. These ungrateful motherfuckers could never recognize that. I’m the one that opened the doors for them. I’m the one that made this new flood of talent coming in to shine possible to begin with. If it wasn’t for me, they wouldn’t have a standing in this industry. If it wasn’t for me, they wouldn’t have food on their table. If it wasn’t for me, we wouldn’t be seeing the Bea Valentines walking around right now with the Answers World Championship that should’ve been in my hands at this moment in time. I have been disrespected for too long and yet when I retaliate, when I fight back, when I hold my ground and don’t let people talk down on me, I’m the bad guy? I’m the most hated nigga on earth? What? For seeing my own worth? For knowing I’m better than the disrespect that is thrown at me every turn? Fuck that. I said it before, Joso don’t throw no curves, yet when he throws the curveball, it’s the most groundshocking, timestopping, culture changing curveball to ever hit this industry. I told you all, I’m changing the culture.
I fooled you all.
Y’all thought I was done, y’all thought I was vulnerable, y’all thought I was defenseless, y’all thought I was losing myself, losing my place at the top, losing my spot as the best of the very best. Nah. I was just finding myself. The Real Me. The one that I left behind a long time ago for validation, and to embrace the shitty people who I would quote “turn my back on” when I put a knife through the back of someone who struck first unknowingly with that same knife when she never gave me the flowers I deserved for taking a fucking bullet for her. I was at one point in time envious about those who have come after me, envious of the Bea Valentines, envious of the Michael Machinas, envious of the Hans Grayons and the Cody Mavericks, the BRAEs and the Drake Armstrongs, I thought my job had been done, that there was nothing else to be done, that I had already been passed by before I could hit my peak at the top of this industry. I thought maybe it was my time to step back and give them the time to shine while in only four years, I let my momentum die off and I ride off into the sunset.
THINK NOT.
THINK AGAIN.
I gave them their time to shine, I gave them their moment in the sun, I gave them their chance to plant their flag at the mountaintop and prove why they deserve to be at the top of this industry, why they deserve to be considered the best of the best in EAW. Never again. Why would I allow that when they can;’t lace up my boots? Why would I allow that when they can’t match up to me? Match up to my starpower, match up to what I bring to the table? My talent, my attributes, all of it. They can’t compare to me and it’s time they step back and let the one who started all of this for them take back over and at Midsummer Massacre that’s what I’m about to do. With a black rose around my neck it’s time I take back my place as the best in the world because from the moment I stepped foot through those doors, I was one of the best in the world. If you don’t think that? Ask my girl. She knows more than anyone else what I am truly capable of. If you don’t think that? Ask the people I’ve beaten time and time again. Ask Karl, who hasn’t been able to get a single victory over me from the very moment I called him out two years ago and embarrassed him at Pain for Pride, which I would then go on to do a second time weeks ago. If you didn’t already know now you know, and now it’s my time to be that two time world champion, and who knows, maybe by the time I’m done it’s going to transform into ten reigns. Maybe I’ll break records that have never been broken. I’ll keep making history you wish you could have made on your own. But you’re not me, which means that would have never been a possibility. I have found myself. I have found everything I could have asked for. I found someone who has actually had my back and I can trust won’t betray my trust because what’s more dangerous than two who find peace in one another through the torment, torture, and pain we bring one another inside of a professional standing, inside of a ring when it all goes out the window? When for the first time she could say she found her equal not just in but out of the ring, as did I? That our come ups and what we had to go through just to get here today would lead us to a moment in time no one could have ever seen coming? She brought out the best in me many times before, brought out the best version of me inside that ring, when I could no longer listen to those in attendance and take my spot at the top right then and there. It just so happens now she brought out The Real Me. Now she brought out the side of me I should’ve never locked away for validation and to be liked, to be loved, to be respected. I hindered my own progress and she was the key that unlocked it all for the world to see and now when this month comes to an end, and Midsummer Massacre passes by, I will bring back to her a thank you that she will never forget, and that will be in the form of the Answers World Championship, and with that, we’ll take over the industry, we’ll take over the world, we’ll rule the world. Together.
Something Jon Kelton could never experience that’s for sure. Something Jon Kelton could never do. Something Jon Kelton could never get done. Something Jon Kelton could never accomplish. Something Jon Kelton could never achieve. Something Jon Kelton could never dream of. Something Jon Kelton could never think of. Something Jon Kelton could never even think for a second is possible for there to be a world where he could take over this company and rule the world with his bitch. Congratulations on finally doing something of worth for once. Congratulations on doing something that will actually be remembered, because god forbid we’ll remember any championship reigns you’ll have over the timeline of your career. But you did it, and you did it in a way no one could have ever seen coming. And honestly, after all of this time, with that win at Pain for Pride, I’m actually proud of you for getting something that at one point in time could have been seen as unachieveable, could have been seen as impossible, not for the regular Elitist, just impossible for Jon Kelton to do. But you did it. And you tormented Bronson Daniels into qiuitting, tormented Bronson Daniels into forfeiting, into giving away his revenge, throwing it all away, winning the Three Stages of Voltage hell. It’s just a shame the only way you could do that was by pulling at him emotionally, pulling at his heart strings, forcing him to make a choice in order to save someone else because you couldn’t beat him down into quitting. Even your biggest accomplishments have to have a big stain on it that will affect the legitimacy of how people will view you for months to come. You can never duck those superior to you in every god given way and now you have to add me to that list. The long list of Elitists who by the end of the season will beat you over and over again, will be far out of your reach, because you could never possibly reach their level of greatness. You were The Chosen One for so long and even you started to question who chose you. Because I know it wasn’t the higher ups. I know it wasn’t a betting man who knew the waste of money they would have gone through if they did. Now you call yourself the Flaw of the World, which is a lot more fitting for you because the biggest flaw this world could have made was giving you the platform to think you’re nearly as good as you wish you could be. The biggest flaw this world could have made was bringing you to it and letting you believe in your own hype for so long that it has become embarrassing to even be in the same conversation as Jon Kelton. You wish you were everything you say you are, you wish you were everything you thought you could be, but you never will be. You don’t have what it takes. You have proven that one too many times and it’s disappointing. It’s disappointing that someone who once had so much potential, who can go through so many innovations of themselves still remain a failure at the end of the day. You have what should be a smooth sailing free win for you this week and you won’t even captalize on that. You’ll still lose. Like you always do. You’ll still fail, like you always do. You’re not even on the level of your own tag team partner and you think you’re going to be on my level? Or even on the level of Bea Valentine? I’d advise you to think again, I’d advise you to think different, because at the end of the day? When you a forever loser, it just comes naturally, don’t it?
Veena, I already know what you’re going to say. I don’t want to hear it. I don’t want to hear none of it. I don’t have a problem with you, I think you did what you were supposed to do through all of last year, the beginning of this year. You put your foot on the gas petal and you were champion for what could have been a record breaking reign and even though by the end of the day it was stolen from you, you should’ve been left satisfied with how things had gone for you even with such a dissatisfying end to it. That’s why I don’t have a problem with you. But if you think you can just come back around, take what is my opportunity to be at the top and put that in the dirt for your own personal gain, and by the end of this year stand on top once more as Answers World Champion while I get nothing but disappointment and embarrassment all over again, that is where I start having a problem. Right now you have your own issues to deal with. Good. Put all your focus on that. Put all your focus on other problems because once you try and step up to me, once you’re trying to take food off my table, once you’re trying to take money from me, that is when you are going to have to be put down. That is when you’re going to have to be dealt with. That is when you’re going to have to be made an example of just like I made an example of Bea, just like I’m going to make an example of Jon Kelton, and just like I am going to make an example of everyone and anyone else who gets in my way on my quest to becoming world champion again in EAW. The landscape is constantly changing, the company is constantly evolving, and I’m not going to let myself sink because people think I can’t hold my own anymore, because people don’t think I’m good enough anymore. My respect for you don’t change the fact that I’m not going to let you get in my way and think there won’t be consequences, my respect for you don’t mean I have to like you and honestly, maybe it’s for your betterment that you stick to the tag team you got with Mills going on because if you think there’s any way I’m going to give up my spot back at the top of the world just so you can have another moment in the sun, just so you could have another time to shine, you’re buggin. I’m evolving just by going back to my own roots, I’m evolving just by going back to what I should’ve always been. I have made many mistakes, I have made mistakes in how I went about my time in this industry so far and while it has brought me prosperity, while it has brought my success, while it has brought me championships, while it has brought me everything I could have ever asked for, I want more. And I wasn’t going to get more, because I hit my ceiling being the same nice guy who would give up his own spot on the mountain just so he could watch the New Era shine. But the New Era needed me. You saw that when we allowed someone like Drake King became World Heavyweight Champion again. Even when we shined the brightest at Pain for Pride, it didn’t hit the same. Truthfully it won’t hit the same until I’m champion again, and Veena, by the end of this year, by the end of this season, you’re going to see me as Answers World Champion. You’re going to see me back at the top, you’re going to see me where I belong. Even if it means I have to go through you.
