I once believed that Prophetic Visions served as the crucifixion of Drake King.
I thought it was a necessary sacrifice, and that it all led to my return as the Messiah.
However, overtime I've realized that I've been putting too much importance on the Drake King of old.
It is believed that the Messiah is to die for the sins of mankind, only for his divinity to be displayed as he returns from death. It's one of the most known religious stories thanks to the religion of Christianity. Jesus Christ returned days after his crucifixion, a crucifixion that occurred because he was not met with the support he was meant to receive. He was not believed in, and instead he was vilified, hated for speaking the truth. I don't feel as if I should need to further explain a lesser religion, but I always believed this story was worth thinking about, as it was one I believed had unfolded in my own life. My role as the Messiah of this industry has put me on a path this business has never seen, but as great as I am, I am not incapable of making mistakes every now and then. I believed that I had already died, but that was never the case. It never was, because my original life no longer exists.
The Drake King of old was not the same man that entered this company at Bloodsport in 2020.
That night did not see the return of Drake King. It saw the arrival of the Messiah.
Your Savior walked through the doors of this company nearly six years ago and since then, I have given you all chances to better yourselves. I have given you chances to convert yourselves to Dristianity. I have given you chances to turn yourself over to God. I have given you chances to let go of your egos. I have given you chances to overcome the seven deadly sins, but as time goes on you've only found yourselves falling lower than ever before, allowing yourselves to drown in the depths of despair that those sins surround you with. I realize now that there is a reason that this is all happening, and that the fact that your Lord and Savior Drake King STILL has yet to be slain has more to do with this than I ever could've imagined. The correlation is obvious, so obvious that I should have seen it long ago. I apologize for not realizing it sooner, but I'd like to take this time to reveal the truth of this sport.
The truth is, I have yet to take the burden of the sins of mankind, and the fact that I have yet to carry this weight is exactly why you all feel so entitled to the disrespect you've shown me.
However, there is a reason I have yet to be crucified, and why even after your many attempts to kill me I still stand here, alive as ever.
Unlike the world in the stories you may have read as children, Elite Answers Wrestling cannot survive without me long enough for me to carry this weight.
This place is in a dire state, and it speaks to the reality of this world compared to what may have been in your fabricated stories. You all have been screaming for my crucifixion since I arrived to this company. You hate that I upset your traditions, which is why you've been doing everything in your power to make sure I am no longer a factor. It started with you all trying to find ways to snuff me out, to the point that Impact would LITERALLY attempt to crucify me years ago at Reckless Wiring, only for his attempt to mean nothing in the long run, much like the attempts that'd continue all the way up to King of Elite of last year. This company is more self aware than you'd think it is though, and that fact is the only reason I'm not holding the World Heavyweight Championship right now. You'd think that as long as I can't be killed there'd be nothing to keep me away from the Championship, but attempts at my life haven't been the only way this place has attempted to limit my power, and ironically, there are people in this very match who've been able to benefit from the other strategies used to scapegoat me for the flaws of this sport.
Methuselah has tried on countless occasions to restrict my power by reducing me to a follower, as if he actually has the means to do anything about my inevitable refusal to go along with his plans.
Cy Henderson has spent the past year portraying himself as a dominant game changer who has effectively rewritten history despite the fact that his every achievement of the past year has been granted to him by Dynasty's lack of effort towards running a proper show.
Rather than trying to end me directly, they've opted to try to endlessly delay the inevitable by forcing me into situation after situation where I am screwed over in matches where I was very, very clearly the best competitor. They've decided that as long as they do nothing about the injustices I face and rather encourage the roster to do whatever they can to force me into a position where my power is being gifted to those around me, not even realizing that there is no good that's going to come from stolen victories. This place is rotten, so rotten that it's trying to force me to take this crucifixion unwillingly, hoping to dump its sins onto me only so it can freely continue to do the exact same thing without guilt. That's not how this works, though. A forced sacrifice isn't going to do this company any good, nor will it work for me to accept defeat solely to please those who've been eagerly waiting for my destruction for the past six years.
You're going to carry the burden of your own sins, and it's time that you either evolve or you fall. Either way you will step aside, and I will end this season as the World Heavyweight Champion.
The greatest strength of Cy Henderson is his dishonesty, and yet dishonesty is precisely what he complains about whenever he speaks. Deception is your strength Cy, and this is not a trait that makes you a better wrestler. It's a trait that helps you craft the image of one. Everything you own is stolen, but you expect to be rewarded for everything you've done as if you earned those achievements through blood sweat and tears. You want your flowers because you “overcame the odds” at your current age and managed to become a World Champion, but what odds are you overcoming when you're merely taking advantage of a broken system to gain an advantage over competition who don't wish to lower themselves to your level? Why should you receive praise for victories that had nothing to do with your actual abilities? Anyone could sit on the opposite side of their ring while their opponents incapacitate each other. Anyone could take advantage of interferences against their opponents. Anyone could slip on a pair of brass knuckles or whatever other weapon would give them an advantage. Drake Armstrong is doing those things right as we speak, but I'm not brainwashed and I'm not going to allow my opinion of him to be dictated by the gold around his waist rather than by what I am actually seeing whenever he enters the ring. Everyone else turns a blind eye to what occurs within the squared circle, but not me. I'm keeping my eyes open, and as long as they're open I will always see directly through you. You didn't overcome the odds, and you were certainly no underdog. You had this company on your side, not because they sided with you, but because they did nothing to stop you. They allowed you to have your way with a weakling like Joso. They allowed you to screw me over at Fighting Spirit. They allowed you to worm your way out of match after match dating back to when you had your hand against Limmy Monaghan at Pain for Pride, and being a bystander makes those in charge of this brand JUST as problematic as you. There is no reason to think that your success following your return after all these years should dissuade the thought that your time away from EAW following Territorial Invasion was a bad omen, because that success was never supposed to find you to begin with. You were allowed to reap the rewards of the exploitable flaws of this brand in particular, and as long as you're not allowed to get away with the same antics that brought you an entire Championship reign defined by not dominance, but controversy, you're going to fail to reach the heights you feel belong to you. Falling short is all you can ever do when you're not even half the man you think you are.
History shows this time and time again. Men who envy their superiors try to portray themselves as something greater, only for their pride to deal the killing blow to their facade.
Everyone sees the problem as long as it doesn't concern themselves, and that lack of awareness is troubling. It was Cy that called out Kassidy Heart for complaining about the lack of respect she's been given for her name alone, and I agree that this behavior is the last thing we needed on Dynasty right now. She has been gone since 2024 and thinks that because she was successful then the entire wrestling world should've stopped for her from the moment she returned to EAW, but it would be wrong for me to single her out for this because there is something that she, Cy and even Limmy Monaghan and Rex McAllister all have in common, and it's the fact that this sport is not waiting for them or their egos, and they can disappear for as long as they want and this company will not be ANY worse for it.
NOBODY missed Cy Henderson when he was gone for all those years, or when he took months off following his World Championship loss. Nobody missed Limmy Monaghan when he took time off. Nobody missed Rex McAllister when his presence became a rarity before deciding to return full-time. This company does not need any of you anywhere near as much as you think, and Elitists like Cy constantly reach the verge of realizing this when he speaks on the fact that it took unearned end of the year awards rewarding a year full of fraudulence for him to finally feel validated for his work throughout the year since the everyone else in the world who was actually capable of seeing the truth knew that he didn't actually do anything worth praising. Elitists like Limmy Monaghan and Rex McAllister WOULD have the opportunity to realize this, but they find themselves in Championship matches every single month, so how could they? How could they realize just how little good they actually do for this company when they're constantly being coddled and having their feelings protected? The truth is none of you are anywhere near as different as you seem to believe you are. The Kassidy Heart’s of the world will always end up on a path no different to the Cy Henderson's, because they're both desperate to go down as the greatest to ever do it and every day they spend away from this company envious of those getting the spotlight they aren't. The Cy Henderson's will always inspire the Limmy Monaghan's, because they're both obsessed with validation and can't survive in this sport without finding whatever they can cling to in order to protect their egos. The Limmy Monaghan's and Rex McAllister’s will continue to meet the same fate, because no matter how many poor souls led astray in the crowds choose to stand by them, their arrogance will only ever lead them to failure.
Failure they will meet at MY hands.
This is what I mean when I say that you all will carry the burden of your own sins this time. I'm not going to leave the Iron Survivor match settling with “almost” winning, because that's not going to turn this brand around.
I'm sure you will be perfectly okay with settling for “almost” though Limmy, because you've been settling for that for years now and yet here you are still clinging to the idea that you're actually a real leader. You cling to the idea of Limmy Monaghan because that concept is all you have left. The blueprints of your identity, one that doesn't take into account the execution of your ideals, your ability to enforce your beliefs or even the weight your vision holds within this industry. Those blueprints are what matters to you, because you understand that the very basic concept of Limmy Monaghan will always surpass the reality of him for as long as the reality is the failure that you are. You constantly question the title that others give themselves out of your belief that they only do so out of pride, all while ignoring who you are beneath the mask because you know just as well as I that ever since you returned to this company, you have yet to do anything good for ANYBODY. You have yet to make an effort to extend your reach. You have yet to try to reach an audience beyond those who'll blindly support you no matter what you do, no matter what lows you stool to. You are in your comfort zone, and you're refusing to leave that area to prove yourself as the leader you wish to be. Instead you remain within the confines of this industry's norms, all while shaming anyone who chooses not to operate the same way that you do. I have already made it clear that I am the only real leader in this industry, but do you know how many individuals I would even think of granting the same honor before you? Your name wouldn't even cross my mind, because you don't call yourself a leader because it's your duty to be one. You're chasing a role that's out of your reach, and in your chase you are running in circles, constantly reliving different points of your own career. You relive your days following the Grand Athletes where you thought that bloodlust was what you were lacking. You relive the peak of your career back in 2023, hoping to recapture your former glory knowing that this was the one and only time you were ever seen as one of the most important names in this company. You relive everything BUT the lessons you learned throughout your career, because if you took in every lesson by this point, you'd realize that your problem is not that there are holes within the concept of “The Ace” that you're choosing to ignore whenever you put on this facade. The problem is that the man behind it is rotten to his core, and you haven't taken a single step towards fixing that.
This is the difference between this company and the stories Christians have been told. You all not only choose to disrespect me, but try to take my role, all while ignoring the fact that you're all just terrible people. Rex McAllister may be my one opponent this weekend who this topic of attempts at usurpation does not apply to, but that's not to say he is any better of an individual. How could I? I said everything I needed to say about Rex when we faced each other recently, and what could possibly have changed between then and now?
Rex McAllister is who he has always been.
A man stuck in time. His punishment for his disrespect towards God.
Do you know what your problem is regarding the two of us, Rex? It's the fact that you constantly believe you're giving me profound advice despite the fact that your words directly mirror what has been said a year ago, two years ago, three years ago and so on, all by you. People did not suddenly decide they were done listening to me this season. You all have been doing this since 2020. The only difference is that you feel more comfortable with treating my chances of victory as if they're anywhere but at the very top because you're content with viewing my setbacks as my failures rather than the failures of this company to stand for what's right. You've been pushing the same agenda for years Rex, all while you ironically attempt to call me out saying that I can't bring anything that YOU aren't prepared for, as if you haven't already spent the majority of our recent encounters proving that you AREN'T prepared for me. It's crazy, Rex. You are so constantly put on a pedestal for your strong sense of morality, but here you are ignoring the injustices that I have been met with not because there's no truth to my statements, but because you don't like who the truth is coming from. I had every reason not to work with Methuselah and someone who has been around long enough to see who a man like Methuselah is, a man like you, should know this. You should know that I did the right thing, but because you're talking about me you must be disingenuous and hold this against me because Michael Machina spent the same event doing what I already did two years ago against a Cy Henderson that can hardly go two matches without relying on controversy to cover for his inadequacy. You know what you're doing, Rex. You always do, but unfortunately you never actually bring this to the ring. You speak as if you have it all figured out, but you're just a fool committed to blasphemy, forgetting that all actions have their consequences.
There is only one opponent of mine that can say they hold a unique role in this company, and it's Methuselah. That's not because of anything he does inside of the ring. It's not even because of the horrid individual he is outside of it. It's because of his power as the owner of this company. It's because of the power he has abused time and time again in an attempt to steer things in his favor, only for it all to end with him somehow suffering the same fate he did last season where he was committed to being treated like any other Elitist on the roster only to consistently underperform. I'm not going to forget how or why Territorial Invasion and Wicked Games turned out how they did, but I'm not going to trap myself in those memories either, because what many seem to forget when reliving my “failures” throughout this season is the fact that you got exactly what you deserved. You once again tried to use me for your own plans and it all blew up in your face, and now the cycle is restarting. You're back to where you were before you attempted to use me for your personal gain, and this time, you're not leaving that vortex. This is the best shot you're going to get at crawling out of it without flat out handing yourself a Championship match and at Operation: Doomsday you're going to be exposed for it, because with the greatest opportunity you'll have had all season long only matched by the match you had against Cy Henderson, you'll be defeated by the same man you spent the first half of this season trying to control.
You'll have to learn one of these days.
You'll have to realize that there is not a single thing you can do about me. Whether you like it or not I am going to be here, and that's that. You showed your hand three years ago and decided that even after my defiance, even after my victory over you, even after everything I did to reject everything you had planned for me, you STILL realized that you couldn't fire me, and instead sat back and watched as I led this company to the greatest year it has had yet. You know how important I am to this company even if my importance to it interferes with what you want from it, and that's what forces occasions like this to occur. Occasions where you no longer have to try to subdue me. Occasions where you no longer question whether or not I'm worth keeping around. Your biggest advantage is the fact that this industry hates me, because where you may fail in your attempts to silence me, you'll be granted opportunity after opportunity to try to get to me inside of the ring. Opportunities to keep failing. To keep being reminded of what separates me from everyone else in this sport.
I have the strength needed to change this company. Not because of any political power or because of any contracts, but because I'm the kind of leader this industry has never seen before.
This sport would be better off without you and your mountain of sins, but it can't survive without me.
I will not be crucified.
I thought it was a necessary sacrifice, and that it all led to my return as the Messiah.

It's because of the power he has abused time and time again in an attempt to steer things in his favor, only for it all to end with him somehow suffering the same fate he did last season where he was committed to being treated like any other Elitist on the roster only to consistently underperform. I'm not going to forget how or why Territorial Invasion and Wicked Games turned out how they did, but I'm not going to trap myself in those memories either, because what many seem to forget when reliving my “failures” throughout this season is the fact that you got exactly what you deserved. You once again tried to use me for your own plans and it all blew up in your face, and now the cycle is restarting. You're back to where you were before you attempted to use me for your personal gain, and this time, you're not leaving that vortex. This is the best shot you're going to get at crawling out of it without flat out handing yourself a Championship match and at Operation: Doomsday you're going to be exposed for it, because with the greatest opportunity you'll have had all season long only matched by the match you had against Cy Henderson, you'll be defeated by the same man you spent the first half of this season trying to control.
You'll have to learn one of these days.
You'll have to realize that there is not a single thing you can do about me. Whether you like it or not I am going to be here, and that's that. You showed your hand three years ago and decided that even after my defiance, even after my victory over you, even after everything I did to reject everything you had planned for me, you STILL realized that you couldn't fire me, and instead sat back and watched as I led this company to the greatest year it has had yet. You know how important I am to this company even if my importance to it interferes with what you want from it, and that's what forces occasions like this to occur. Occasions where you no longer have to try to subdue me. Occasions where you no longer question whether or not I'm worth keeping around. Your biggest advantage is the fact that this industry hates me, because where you may fail in your attempts to silence me, you'll be granted opportunity after opportunity to try to get to me inside of the ring. Opportunities to keep failing. To keep being reminded of what separates me from everyone else in this sport.
I have the strength needed to change this company. Not because of any political power or because of any contracts, but because I'm the kind of leader this industry has never seen before.
This sport would be better off without you and your mountain of sins, but it can't survive without me.
I will not be crucified.
