Chris Champion is probably one of the best friends that I've made in this business. Chris Champion's been my rival, my ally, my enemy and my friend. Though the both of us didn't get along well in the beginning, it's almost as if we depend on each other in this business now. It's funny what almost a year can do to someone. Champ and I, at one time, were such bitter rivals that we nearly took one another's heads off in an attempt to defeat the other in the School House Brawl match. Champion and I have put each other through hell and back, and everytime it seemed I would come out the winner. Until recently, that is. Chris Champion defeated me, Chris Champion took me down and out and in an instant our bitter rivalry turned to respect for each other. Over time the respect changed to friendship, and now Champ and I rely on each other for support. I can't say that I regret anything that ever happened between us, Chris, because in the end every match and every conflict brought us here. Had it not been for you I very well could have never came to the realization that I love Suki Minamoto. You and I go back quite a ways, Chris, and I without a doubt respect you for everything you've done. When you came here I saw potential in you, and then I saw who I thought was a coward. I saw who I thought was just another heel in the land of heroes and villains. I was wrong, and thank God for that. You've evolved over time Chris, you've finally surpassed me. There was a time where I was on the war path, taking down challenger after challenger. But when you beat me...everything seemed to fall apart for me. I suppose one of the reasons that I respect you so much is you did something no one seemed to be able to do for awhile leading into our match, you actually stopped me in my tracks. We have a long history Champ, despite us only being here for just a single year. In this year we've fought each other and we've helped each other. We've been enemies and we've been friends. We've been through alot Chris, and there's still more to come. Georgina will be fine, I know this for a fact. Georgina will pull through and everything will be okay again. You WILL beat Sharp, Chris. You WILL become the HWF's world heavyweight champion before the end of this year. You'll accomplish something that I blew the chance of doing. You'll do the one thing I've dreamed of doing all my life Chris...you'll hit that high peak in your career and from there on out, there's no looking back. Live up to your name, Champ. I know you can do it. I know you can win. Just....not this time. |
