Look at the land around you, just look at it as it is, wherever you may be. Look at the sights to see, look at all the world has to offer for you. Look at every important and unimportant part of the world all around your home, where you sit, where you watch the weekly shows...

Just... look around.

Some of us live in ghettos, some of us in mansions. Some of us are in a rural area, others deep in the urban cultures. Some of us in the United States, some of us in Europe... all spread out across the world, all with so many sights to see.

Be grateful for what you have.

Be happy that you've been given so damn much.

I almost forgot that once... I almost let that get to me and change the kind of person I am.

Not any longer, however, that's long since changed. Don't you yet see the things that I've had to endure over the years of my life? How hard I've struggled?

My dreams are coming true now... all these struggles are beginning to bring forth so much good in my life.

I've came a long way, you know. A long, long way...

Yet I've still got a long, long way to go.

Every journey starts with baby steps... and it takes a long time before you're flying. Before you're doing what you set out to do. Does anyone here truly believe in themselves anymore, or do they just believe in their abilities? There's quite a difference between the two... believing in your abilities is only one of two things you need to have when you're in this business.

You really do need to believe in yourself... because someone who's comfortable out there with what they're doing and is good at it still won't defeat someone who's almost, if not just as comfortable and skilled as them... and has absolutely every bit of their heart into it.

I'm still trying to flap my wings, and here I am standing as your champion.

Alot of you haven't even began the steps for takeoff yet... you're still learning to crawl.

Guys like Violent A have learnt to run, and have came running after me to try and take me down, to hold me back from the skies and take from me what I'm working so hard to obtain.

It's to be expected, that over time the head of the pack would be turned on by those that follow. That when everyone's gone a certain length, they eventually start getting hunted down.

Everyone wants to be in their shoes... everyone wants their 'rank' among the roster.

Well you know something? I'm not quite sure I want to follow that standard practice among the champions. Wait to be hunted, fight off the hunters, and keep on moving forward. For me? The only way forward is to cut right back through the NLCW.

Turn over all unturned stones, give every person who deserves it a chance.

So I'll let Violent A have his fun, I'll let him play the hunt and go on chasing after my title and trying to bring me down, just as Shane Perry and Bucky Skyler had tried before him.

I'll give him his few weeks of fame as my challenger, but come Sultan of the Squared Circle? I'm through playing games.

I'm through being hunted.

I'm through letting these people try and come after me... and I'll start going after them.

By the end of this reign? You won't be able to say I wasn't a fighting champion, that's a promise.
