2014.07.18: PWN - LEGACY - I Declare War
I thought retirement was supposed to be fun. You know, lay out on a nice beach, sip on a cool drink and let the sun help heal all my aches and pains. I mean I've been at this since I was barely 19. Ten years is a long time in wrestling. Eventually your body is gonna give you the signs that you may need to think about calling it a career. All the bumps, slams, drops, spears, saults, they add up every night. The physicality of this business is like none other, especially when you consider how I came up and who I came up with. From Japan till now, I'll admit. I've been through it.
pause
Fortunately, it wasn't my physical state that made me leave the game. I've actually been healthy for the majority of my career. The problem was......mentally I didn't have it in me anymore, and if you know me, you know I've been battling the feeling for almost three years. Or maybe it was evident in my work. Wouldn't surprise me. I got bored. I win the IRX Championship for the second time and after I got it, I said fuck it. If I'm gonna check out, check out on top right? The next show got booked and it never happened because I didn't care to say anything about it and most of the roster followed suit. It's bothered me ever since.
pause
I'm not letting the last memory of Con Escobar be that he single-handedly brought a company down because he quit. No, if I'm bringing a company down, I'm bringing it down the only way I know and that's by force. If I'm gonna hang em' up, I'm gonna hang em' up after I leave a trail of bodies in my wake and carry the blood of many a man who dare tried to go against me. I don't know if this is a swan song. Call it what you want.
Pause. A couple walks past.
In fact, I know what you can call it. War. I declare war on the rest of the LEGACY roster. If you're a big name, I'm coming for you. If you're in the bottom of the card, I'm coming for you. Middle? I'm coming for you. You manage? I'm coming for you too. You serve drinks at the concession stand? I'm coming for you and afterwards I'm taking your food and drinks. I don't give a fuck about anyone anymore except the people I keep close, and that's a very small group.
pause
The other day I was reading Decaine's weekly vlog where he said the most maddening thing I think I've ever heard him say. He said that Bobby Langford of all people was the greatest African-American wrestler of all time. See this is why I'm here, because people seemed to forgot just who the fuck I am. I CHANGED the way this business looks at Black wrestlers. That's not opinion, that's a fact. I don't have the title history of a Bobbie Johnson or an Xavier Homicide, but when it comes to that ring, when it comes to that mic, they can't touch me. NO ONE can touch me, especially some Black and Yellow fuckboy who's as green as She-Hulk's anus.
pause
Bobby Langford, I was already gonna kick your head in for trying to hurt one of my friends, but as long as someone in this world thinks you're better than me I'm gonna do everything in my power to prove why you're not. You can't even call me by name. I was in your face and could tell deep down you didn't want start shit with your punk-ass stare, and they wanna compare you to me. Get. The. Fuck. Out. One of these days, Bobby, the powers that be are gonna do you a disservice and put you up against me, and when they do I'm gonna light your ass up so bad Bauer has no choice but send your sorry ass back to working at the steel mill where you can die a slow death from smoke inhalation.
pause
You may have your W.A.S.T.E., you may have your Clientele, you can have whatever that Japanese bullshit is supposed to be. Esco, C.O., Ruby, those are three names everybody should and will fear. The Ultra will continue to spread the Purge amongst LEGACY. As for me?
pause
Fuck retirement. I'm back and I'm not leaving until I own the world.
