Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you.
- Friedrich Nietzsche
Well, this is a whole, entirely different curveball that's been thrown at me compared to Dustin and Leon on Wednesday.
Ghost Tank: The man that everyone should fear... right?
This is the man who have destroyed countless people in this federation. This is the man who wiped out and annihilated those who stood in his way. The man that is, supposedly, the epitome of what everyone fears. A beast incarnate. Someone who is capable of ripping people up piece by every single little piece callously. No remorse, no feelings, no hesitations or second thoughts. It's almost as if he is void; no emotions or any indication that he is a human. He is simply a monster. A monster that is full of nothing but ruthless aggression.
He is like Goliath: high and mighty and a force to be reckoned with. The one who everyone kneeled down to. He really did install fear into everyone. However, David would come along and slay that giant. He lacked the strength and he was not seen as a threat, but little David somehow managed to take down Goliath. He took him out - once and for all.
Ghost Tank, I do not fear anyone or anything. I am not easily intimidated by the likes of you. You're just like some fabled childhood nightmare that turned out to be nothing more but a figment of imagination all along, like the Boogeyman. You might've added people to your body count and all, hell, I even saw what you did to Knight at War Games. However, that won't be enough to have me cower in fear, tremble in my boots, piss in my pants and suck on my thumb crying out "Mama!".
Do I think I can beat something so destructive? Do I think I can take you out? Do I think I have the skills, the abilities, to slay the Monster? Do I have what it takes to put you at rest and take down the beast that will stand before me?
I don't think that I can... I know that I can and I will take you down. With every fiber and ounce of my body, I will not quit and I will do whatever it takes to beat you. I will not surrender. I will stand my ground and I will continue to fight until I am the one that is left standing. You talk about how you've "decimated" all who stood in your way, but let me tell you something. This won't be no easy feat. I carried Tony and I to victory as I was the one who kicked the Cage Brothers' asses on Wednesday. Just like that with a snap of the fingers, I finished them off and I beat them. Just like how you carried your team to victory, so did I.
Of course, I'm not saying how this match will be a walk in the park for me. I know what you're capable of. I'm fully aware of that. I know that this will be a challenge. This is more than just another wrestling match. It's something entirely different. You'll stop at nothing to try and use everything at your disposal to have me laying in my own pool of blood. You'll try to come at me and have me merciless. I will try and finally stop the beast from raging on and put an end to him. It will be a hard-fought match and it will definitely have me push beyond my limits.
Don't worry, Ghost Tank. I won't hold anything back. I certainly won't go easy on you and I expect you to do the same thing. You're the one that everyone fears, right? Well, I want you to step into that ring on Wednesday and show me exactly why I should be afraid of you. Prove to me why you shouldn't be the one that everyone takes lightly. Prove it to me. Enlighten me. Show me.
When the maiden and the monster face one another in a few days' time, the maiden won't be another damsel in distress that needs to be rescued from the ominous villain. Instead, the maiden will fight back and slay the monster. The maiden will be the hero of the story and will wind up with a happy ending whereas the monster will be faced with an unfortunate demise in the end.
Prepare yourself, Ghost Tank, for this fair maiden will be the one that will be responsible for the end of your terror. All of the other dashing knights might have failed in doing so, but the maiden will be the one to end it all. This maiden will be the one that will seal in your very fate.
