It comes down to you and I, Tyler. As focused as I am to have to confront Violent A... in the end, it's just down to you and me tonight on Avulsion. You, an LCW graduate who had a failed debut match that I missed hearing about simply due to the shit going on between myself and that bastard clown you've continued to hear me talk about. You, the guy who was LCW's only 'double champion', the only person to hold both it's Hardcore and it's World titles together at once, if I'm not mistaken? You, LCW's proud representative of all the great things it has for the future of our company.

I have to say... it's about time we face each other head to head.

Like I've said, the LCW is a brewing pot for all the best and brightest of the NLCW's future. These coming weeks are going to be more then just a struggle for me you know, you're not the only person I'll be facing... yet maybe you're one of the more important ones. You see, Tyler... you're this company's future, just as guys like Skyler and Perry are. From the seasoned vets going on for one last run to the young upstarts like yourself looking to take it to the top... the future looks brighter then ever.

And all I can do is advance into it and do my best to hold on.

Not even quite a year ago, Tyler... David toppled Goliath once again. I, the newcomer, the NLCW rookie... baet Sean Galen, the world champion, the feared psycopath of the NLCW's upper ranks.

I didn't go through LCW, I didn't get that preperation you did to the NLCW's ways... I came from the ashes of a dead federation because my friend, Chris Champion, put in a good word for me.

Despite those differences in our build-up to that, however... look at the similarities. There you stand, a couple of pebbles and a sling in your hands. Here I stand, tall and mighty over the rest of the NLCW... my sword and sheild held strong.

It's David versus Goliath all over again... and this time, I'm not the underdog. I'm the man atop the mountain.

Even with all the blessings I have up here though, I'm still crawling in the dark... I'm still looking for an answer to where my future lies. The only answer that I know is true is that my decisions in the present effect the actions of my future. Metaphorically, I'm already down heaven's path... but at any moment I could get distracted and brought down from the ladder.

There was a point in my life, Tyler, where I'd fought through torrents of bad times and worse times, and had to overcome it all. I grew up a regular kid, I experienced the experiences of an ordinary teen... but for a period of several years, I experienced things no-one ever thought I would. The loss of the closest person to me, the loss of my religion, the severe depression and isolation from the outside world.

I pulled away from it eventually, but it came back to haunt me.

I pulled away again and made it here, and it almost surfaced before me once more.

I'm finally on the right path now, though... I don't have to worry about that again. I don't have to let that distract me any longer. Nothing's holding me back from the things that I want anymore, and I can proudly stand on top of this federation without fear or doubt.

I can't promise you anything, Tyler... except that I'll give you absolutely every ounce of strength I have in my very body. That no matter what you have to throw at me, I'll have something to throw right back.

In the end however, Tyler... win or lose? I'll still be the champion, I'll still fight on in determination to prove myself to the world as a worthy champion. There's not a part of me who believes I can't make this title something even more special then what it already is, and by God, I'll give it everything I have in me just to do that.

It's all just a matter of time, patience, and effort. And, unfortunately, you're just another grain of sand in the hourglass Tyler.

I hate to say it, but in the grand scheme of things? You're just another part to another chapter in my story.

So brace yourself, because tonight you're going to see something in Dominic Pericolo that no ammount of tape-studying, training, or any of the like can prepare you for. You're going to face a man who truly is on a mission, a man who believes not only in himself, but in his abilities, and in his potential to rise higher with this strap then any champion before him was able to. Violent A may be chasing after me, he may be trying to clip these wings so I'll never take off the fucking ground...

But you can God damn rest assured of it, I will not let him hold me down.

Violent A can't stop me from beating you, Tyler... and he can't stop me from keeping this title after Sultan of the Squared Circle, either.

Nothing is going to stop me from giving the fans what they deserve... nothing.

Like I said before, Tyler... before the end of this reign? No one will say I wasn't a fighting champion.

I promise.
