['The Paladin' Chris Hartt sits alone in a darkened room. Dimly lit by fading light from the setting sun, Hartt sits and sips from a glass.]

Hartt: It's been a real roller coaster, lately. I started off so strong and then it seems I started to slip. First, with Sebastian Duke, then with Flynn and Crane.

I spoke really big about my abilities and how much I believed in myself. Then, I let myself down. Twice.

[Hartt sips from his glass.]

I can't say I can just carry on without some effect of those losses. I still believe in myself, even if everyone else doesn't, now. I know I'm capable. I know I can win. And this week, against Steve Davids, I'm going to prove it to myself as well as the rest of the XWF.

[Hartt downs the rest of his drink.]

Just because the sun has set tonight, doesn't mean it won't rise tomorrow.
