Road of the King - Printable Version

The replay of Warfare quickly cuts out into static, replaced with a brand new feed that shows the man himself, Finn Kühn, sitting with a leg crossed in a nice seat while looking straight at the camera. His head is heavily bandaged after the war he and Charlie Nickles put themselves through in the main event, but he still stares straight ahead towards the camera.

"Warfare clearly did not end as planned, but this video is not about me wishing what could have been in the main event. Charlie Nickles made me bleed first. Well done for pushing me to a contest that truly went down to the wire. But that's neither here nor there."

Finn leans forward ever so slightly, bringing his hands over to press his fingers together while doing so.

"Just because I lost does not change what I said and it does not change my plans for the future. No, if anything it reinforces the need for me to continue facing those who claim to be among the best and brightest here. So hear me. Hear my words, take notice and respond if you feel the need to - it won't change much if you do or don't."

"I am going to face as many champions as I possibly can - current, prior, perhaps even future, you name it. Every show I place myself in for, I will be there and I will show everyone in the damn company just what I can do, what I am capable of, of showing the heights I will continue to be pushing myself towards while I have my ultimate goal in mind."

"For you see, this is no mere speculation or a bold prediction of me saying I will win the Universal Championship. Rather, this is a predication - this 'road' of mine will continue until I win the grand title. Our self-absorbed champion may see this as an infringement of his own 'Optimal Path,' but I quite frankly do not care in the slightest, for I had weeks to think on such a thing and came to this conclusion."

"You can either step forward and offer the challenge to me here, or I will issue the challenge myself whenever possible - it does not matter to me in what the order this happens. I even took the initiative of challenging Raion Kido for the Savage at the end of October, because I knew this was what I wanted to do."

Finn smiles, before leaning back in his seat one last time before finishing.

"This is the Road of the King. A path of a thousand miles and paved with a million thorns. And you all will watch me undertake it while I climb to the top of it."

"I will be the best, or I will be broken."
