(04-30-2016, 11:33 AM)Felix Braddock Said: My my, for responding to such a 'nobody', you do seem awfully quick to try and defend every single breath you take as an 'accomplishment'. Maybe you think you can pull the wool over my eyes and dazzle me with what ultimately amounts to a laundry list of nothing. By your own admission. After all, weren't the men you killed: Shade and Emerick, just pretenders? Impostors? Nobodies, painted with the same brush you used on me?

So tell me, if those men weren't a threat to you then, how do they register as accomplishments now? Is it because you're scraping the bottom of the barrel to try and puff out your chest and act like a big man? To live up to your size?

And if you're such an innovator, how come none of those special little things you've 'created' have been adopted? How come they only come out when you're in the match?

Is it because you aren't?

That those weapons and stipulations are for you because you lack the basic wrestling ability, the actual athletic talent, to beat someone when you aren't drowning in weapons and alternate ways to beat somebody?

Opponents you have no respect for, who you don't regard as threats until it comes time to brag like an insecure child.

'Innovations' that come and go the way of New Coke.

All flash, no substance.

You fucking bottler.

You're going to try and take the Hart Championship from Chris, and you're going to fail.

Then you're going to look in the mirror and realize that for all your tough talk, the real nobody has been and will always be you.

"Do you know what I do to try and keep myself in shape? To try and branch out from being a machine? I am a parkour master. I am learning how to incorporate new styles of wrestling. I have become more skillful than most. I take time to try and advance, to evolve.

Now, the reason why no one has adopted the match stipulations, has tried to make it their own, is because they are synonymous with my name. I've lost twice in the, what? Seven times these matches have come up? No one else puts their body on the line like I do. Most go for the basics. Peter is also an innovator of special matches. He has had a better career than I have, but yet, I rarely see anyone adopt his matches. It's because he owns them. It's like The Undertaker is synonymous with Hell in a Cell. It is the Deadman's structure. He has been in fourteen of those matches. Won seven. I've been in two Electrified Cell matches. I believe three electrified cage matches. One Meathook. One No Escape from Hell.

Do I expect people to adopt my match stipulations? No. Who is going to try and adopt them? I lasted nearly thirty seconds at the highest voltage a human can last, without dying, without collapsing. I have hung myself on meathooks just to prove a point before the match even happened. In the first Electrified Cell, I was beaten, assaulted by a dick monger, and run through a katana while metal touched electrified metal and my entire body was electrocuted. What the fuck did I do? I PULED IT THE FUCK OUT AND CONTINUED FIGHTING!

When time comes I will be up there in land of Extreme. A part of the pantheon of Hardcore legends and Gods. Win or lose, I force my opponents to feel my power. I force them to fight to their last legs and hope I don't fucking kick out. Hope I tap out. Because if I am not put out for the count, if I am not utterly forced into unconsciousness, I get right the fuck back up, no matter how battered and broken I am, no matter the wounds. I get up, I come at my opponents, and I take pieces of them with me.

Do you think you'd risk your body and limb, just to dish out and feel pain? To bask in the glow of someone being beaten to a pulp by your own hand? To have your body grind against steel mesh until your skin has been peeled and you're bleeding?

These are the things I do. The things that have been a part of my life. So go on, try to make my career look like a joke. Yet you're simply nothing but the jester in a court full of simpletons.

...

Would you like to know why I enjoy matches that have weapons in them? It's rather simple.

...

Because it gives my opponents the advantage."
