Last week was a tough one for me. The rules of the Pure Cup are guaranteed to leave its competitors battered and broken. I know that I felt it that night, and the day after, and the day after that. I'm pretty sure I'm still going to be hurting when the bell rings this week.
That's what you get when you can only win by knockout or submission. See, I know the rules.
I'm not worried about how I'm feeling though. I just hope Niobe Martin is doing alright. That girl is tough as nails and she took me to my limit. There were times I wasn't sure I was going to win. But I gave it my all and came out victorious.
I don't feel good about it.
I may have done what it takes to win the match and advance to face Jody Madrox, but at what cost? I know that Action Wrestling doesn’t care about gender but I do. Niobe is a woman and putting my hands on her the way I had to…
It makes me sick.
I know it won't be the last time I'll have to face a female of AW. Hopefully next time it won't have to be so brutal. Hopefully you heal up quickly Niobe and are back in the ring soon.
I look forward to seeing you.
My opponent this week is Jody Madrox…
How are you feeling Jody? If it's anything like me, I feel your pain. It would have been nice to get a week off between rounds. That's probably asking too much. I've been booked on every show since I've signed my contract.
They are trying to turn this old mule into a workhorse.
Hell, even if I hadn't gotten my ass beat by Niobe Martin, I could use a week off. There's no use complaining about it. I'll just do what I do every week. When the bell rings I'll give it everything I've got.
Us Detroit boys are tough though aren't we?
I know I'm from the suburbs. It's just a formality to me. I've been representing the D since I've started. I'll always call it home. I guess that's something we have in common.
It doesn't matter if you're white as Wonder bread, or Da Geto Boy, the love of this city shines through.
I'm sure our differences are too many to name. I'm just going to focus on what I think is the most important. I watched your match last week. It was impressive. You were definitely in your element. As I was watching you lay out Jacob Koenig, one thought came to mind.
This guy might be too comfortable in a match like this.
I'm going to say something I don't usually say. In our match, with the win conditions the way they are, I'm at a disadvantage. When I step in the ring, that's not usually the case. But this week, under these rules? I'm definitely the underdog.
This is your wheelhouse.
You're a brawler, a street fighter. That feels like the style of a man who's had to fight for more than just wins and championships. I don't know what type of upbringing you've had, what led you to this business. It doesn't matter. We are two men going after the same thing.
You've just got the upper hand.
You've been around this business long enough to know that isn't always enough. Sometimes will and determination wins out. If you've paid any attention to me in the ring, no one can best me in either. I'm the definition of a wiley veteran. There's no way I'm going to be out to pasture
There's a lot at stake in our match. The winner gets to literally punch their ticket to Evolution. It's been a long time since I've been in front of a crowd that large. That place is going to be a buzz. I want to be a part of that SoFi Stadium experience.
More importantly, the winner gets a shot at the Omega Championship! I know you're probably chomping at the bit to get that belt back around your waist. I'd like to become the next in a line of fine champions. I need the gold. I need the validation. I need proof I'm not hanging on too long.
It may not be the World Heavyweight Championship, but I'd cherish it all the same.
I wouldn't mind getting a shot at Sicko. That guy has been running rampant over AW ever since he took out The Green. I guess you can call him The Gone now. I don't want to be on the receiving end of his abuse. I think I'd be able to do pretty well for myself against him.
I've been known to punch the clown a time or two.
I'm getting ahead of myself. My mind wants to look past you Madrox. It wants to think about what awaits on the other side. I can't do that. If I don't stay focused against you, then I've already lost. You know what you're doing in between the ropes.
I don't need to give you another advantage.
I think the fans are going to be in for quite a fight. When two men have a passion for what they're doing, it makes the battle even better. When the bell rings there's no telling what will happen. Unfortunately only one of us can be declared the winner of the Pure Cup.
It might as well be me.
Win or lose, it'll be an honor to share the ring with you. Let's show Action Wrestling and the world what Detroit is all about. When it's over we can shake hands and maybe a bottle of aspirin. I wish you nothing but the best of luck Madrox.
Fingers crossed, you'll need it.
