BLACKOUT

I can’t see anyone or anything right now, not even my own hand when I hold it up a few inches away from my face. I’m sitting on a tall black throne - cushioned for comfort, yet very Medieval in design.

I never feared the dark very much; Even as a little kid, I never needed a nightlight and I never left my bedroom door open anything more than a crack when I went to bed. There are some people out there like myself who just don’t let the dark have any effect on them - if anything, the darkness is a bit calming and can bring clarity in a time of chaos. As someone who has some ADD tendencies, there are nights every now and again where I find myself just laying in bed with my brain just going absolutely crazy with random thoughts about pretty much anything you could think about involving my life: the wrestling career, family, my amazing girlfriend, how much I can’t wait for the next time I have a day or two of free time so I can play poker at a casino… literally ANYTHING!

And yet, even on those rare nights where it takes longer than usual to clear my thoughts in order to properly focus on getting a viable night of sleep… I can still find some sort of calming influence from just being in the dark. Nobody is able to judge the way you look in that moment, you can silence or shut off your portable electronics so you can’t be bothered, don’t gotta deal with all of the keyboard warriors on social media speaking out of their asses… just total and complete emptiness.

As I grew up in The Bronx and endured some rough experiences on the streets, you learn to not only survive but THRIVE in the darkness. You find a way to use it to your advantage, camouflage yourself and hide within the nooks and crannies on any corner. So when the opportunity comes along to get in the action, you don’t hesitate and you pounce on the enemy!

However, allow me to quote one of my favorite protagonists in all of English Literature to summize the mentality of those who are too weak to embrace and appreciate darkness… Professor Dumbledore.

Quote:But you know, happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers… to turn on the light.

I snap my fingers on my left hand, bringing a purple spotlight down upon me, before I lower my arm back down onto the armrest.

But what about the color purple? Well the first thing that comes to mind for a good majority of people is royalty and nobility, luxury, POWER… and yet others see purple as a reflection of frustration and arrogance. Now if you look at my career resume of nearly two decades in the wrestling ring, especially the last nine months… I have exuded my own kind of power, learning to embrace the luxuries that can come with that kind of power and protecting them… with a royal fist. And yes, you could say that I have shown a bit of arrogance in my time, maybe even too much on certain occasions, but that doesn’t change the statistics that show how I am just now reaching the peak of my potential as a WRESTLING… GOD!!

Now as someone with such nobility and power in the palms of my hands, I have the unenviable duty to cast judgment on those individuals who dare to cross the ways and the truths that I preach about on a regular basis. And whether it’s in the XWF as a former Anarchy Champion looking to further expand my reach across the topography of that company, or in Action Wrestling where I am continuing to plant my flag throughout the lands they lay claim to… I will continue to be the autonomous judge, jury… and executioner.

Unfortunately, there are rare occurrences where along the way of building one’s kingdom, innocent bystanders may get caught in the crossfire. You see my crosshairs are currently set on a very specific target here in the XWF - Jason Cashe. Jason has committed atrocities against me on numerous occasions in recent months across two different companies, and his punishment will be served in due time. As much as I would like to discuss the domination I am going to inflict on that poor S.O.B at Leap of Faith, I would rather stay focused on the more immediate challenges at hand.

Getting back to the innocent bystanders, that is what will happen with EVERYONE who gets in my way before I am able to get my capable hands on Cashe… this unfortunate set of circumstances now lies on Unknown Soldier. Yes, I have read and heard everything there is about you - a little piece of shit from Norway who once had a remarkable career in the XWF, a former Universal Champion and four time Xtreme Champion, only to return the last couple of months as a shell of your former shelf. These days you’re talking about Kangaroo Courts, obsessed with pentagrams and being birthed by goats before you slaughter them for all the world to see!

I wish I could say that I feel bad for Unknown Soldier, but then I would be a liar. And since I quoted him earlier, allow me to revisit Albus for a line of reassurance that I can provide you, Mister Soldier:

Quote:We cannot choose our fate, but we can choose others.

I can assure you Unknown Soldier that I always heed those words, and when it comes to our matchup this Thursday night in Miami, your fate has already been sealed.
