Mercury, there isn't much I can really say about you. I don't really know who you are, I don't really know what you're capable of. I do know that you can give me a challenge in this tournament I've yet to face, a fight that's going to be the most difficult I've had in awhile. I know that you won't dissapoint me, Mercury. And I hope that my knowledge is not false. I'm interested in our match, Mercury, I really am. I'm wondering just exactly how it's going to go down, what moves you're going to use to wear me down and how I'll be able to counter your in-ring strategy. How I'll be able to wear you down in return until I'm finally able to pin you for the three. It's going to be difficult, and I would hope so. An easy win is generally unrewarding, fighting for what you want always gives you a better feeling when you accomplish it. And if you don't, atleast you can proudly say that you gave it your all. I'm giving you my all, Mercury. I'm going to show you how I wrestle, why I wrestle, and who I am. I'm expecting that you're going to do the same, I'm expecting an all out war in that ring Mercury. I'd expect no less from someone like you, you know. Someone who's made it this far, wrestled this well. I just hope I'm not over-estimating you. I don't want to go into a match expecting a battle and only receiving a meager kindergarden brawl. And who knows? Perhaps you'll even teach me something in that ring. Maybe you'll influence me for the better. There's alot of maybes going into this matchup, alot of ifs and ands. Alot of buts, too. Maybe you're going to win. Maybe I'M going to win. If we do, what then? We'll be in the finals, and might even win the whole shebang. But what if we don't? What if all of our fighting, all of our struggling were to be in vain? What then, what would we do? I'm sure you understand where I'm coming from now, and I hope you realize the same. Anything can happen, Mercury. Anything. This will be the last match in When Worlds Collide for one of us. The other will be forced to go back to where they came from, to give up on the hope that maybe they CAN win it. Maybe they WILL win it. I'm afraid of losing. I'm afraid of carrying the flag back home alone. I'm afraid, but I'm not backing down. I have no reason to back down, I've came this far. There's no turning back until I win or lose, it's that simple. Why give up on something I've fought so hard for, struggled so hard for? Why would I do such a thing, when I've given my blood, sweat and tears for this tournament all ready? I won't give in, Mercury. And I hope you won't either. Round Three...I never thought I'd make it this far. And I hope I can make it even farther. You know, when I first entered this tournament I wasn't expecting everything that I've faced. I wasn't expecting the challenges I've received. I honestly thought that competition here would be nothing like it was in the HWF. But I was wrong...it really is tough here. I've squeked through the past rounds, managing to dodge bullet after bullet. I don't know what I'm doing that's keeping me in this game but...it won't be enough this round. I have to step up, I have to fight harder. And I will, I promise that I will. I promise you now, Mercury, that the fight I give you will be one of the toughest that you'll face in the tournament. I promise that I'll give the fans the best match I possibly can. I don't want to win this for the fame, I don't want to win this for the glory. I'm determined to win, but not for the reasons many would suspect. I just want to accomplish another peak in my dream. I just want to do something that no one thinks that I could possibly do. I want to prove that the underdog can come out on top. That he can defy the odds, moreso then many may think. So many people don't believe I'll make it through this round, so many people don't believe I have what it takes to bring Mercury down and take him out. And in some ways, I'm actually skeptical of my own abilities as well. I might NOT be able to bring Mercury down, I might NOT be able to defeat him this round. Why, by next week, I might be wrestling strictly for the HWF again. I might never get the chance to become the WWC Champion. But by God, I'm going to give it everything I've got and try anyway. I will not wave the white flag, I will not give up the fight this far in. This is Round Three, this is the last pitstop before the finals. This could quite possibly be the toughest battle that I'll face in my very career, if the fight that I'm expecting is as good as I think it will be. This...is incredible. Never before did I think that I could make it this far, and yet look at me now. Mercury, when you and I face off for Round Three, understand that this won't be anything like the past matches you've fought in. I won't disrespect you, I won't cheat, and I won't try to fuck you over. I won't complain about losing, I won't hold a grudge if you beat me. I just want a challenge, Mercury, I want to know that I gave this thing my best. And if I win...well, I hope that you can step up and congratulate me on it. I hope that you don't hold a grudge, because if you win I know I won't. Good luck, Mercury. |
