"Life and death."
"The creation and the extinguishment of one's soul."
"There are many things that can transpire between a person's beginning and their inevitable end. Yet, the most beautiful aspect of this finite existence is the stories that we weave between these points of fate; each unique and unable to be replicated. Although beautiful, every story is universally fraught with spirit testing trials and pains nigh insufferable. Even so, the tales that are woven never fail to be worthwhile and are often revered for one reason or another."
"Then there are stories such as ours...."
"You, and many like you, might find this comical to consider and will undoubtedly brush my words aside. However, that will not change the similar nature of our stories and how alike they are to each other. For I am a devoted wrestler as well and it would be best if you did not forget it, my dear leashed beast."
"Like many of our ilk, we have spent an innumerable amount of time traveling the world to hone the craft that we so adamantly love. Whether it be traversing the murky waters of unforeseen circumstances meant to deter us from our dream or the life-altering moments that set forth the irreversible events that led us here to Action Wrestling, it has been the threads we have woven amongst our peers that bond our soul together."
"For you; Michelle and Alec."
For me; Mathew and.....Nathanial."
"Yet, despite being similar in terms of world-hopping dedication and supportive sanctity doomed to severance, the thing that binds us the closest is also the very thing that proves that our tales are vast and different. It is that very thing that keeps you awake at night so as to make sure you're not dreaming. That expectedly enamors your battle-weary spirit and fuels the ever dominant machine of flesh and bone known as Downfall; Daniel Connor Fehl."
"The thing that I pulled from the ashes and set ablaze with new life."
"The Action Wrestling Television Championship."
"Upon defeating the ringleader of Philidor and sending her victory streak to the pyre, you have spent over ninety days demonstrating that the unique combination of undaunting physicality and coldblooded killer instinct you possess is certainly a force to be reckoned with. In fact, there is a fair amount of people that firmly believe that it is this combative cocktail of yours that has kept the Lost Breed from being lost within the shifting sands of the other stables of Philidor, Devil Gate, The Following, and Lowe's merry band of miscreants."
"Yet, what is it that you have actually accomplished?"
"Over the course of your ninety-plus day reign, you have only defended the Television Championship eight times against seven different competitors. Couple that embarrassingly small pool with the fact that you have already failed in upholding the responsibility of contractually defending the Television Championship every week? Well, that justifiably brings premature claims of the fangless silver-tongued serpent into question. As it stands, my dearest Daniel, the only things you have done are ride the only real achievement into the ground and act as a belt warmer for the one destined to tear the championship from your hands."
"Best in the world, indeed."
"Tell me, Mister Fehl, are you aware of what it means to represent Action Wrestling as its Television Champion? Can you look into the eyes of those that you cherish and say, with confidence, that you are doing everything within your power to raise the competitive value and overall prestige? That this reign is not just a large black mark on the legacy of the Television Championship and yourself?"
"You can't and you never will."
"You might find this to be condescending or somehow presumptuous of me, especially so given aided in the effort to lay me to rest at the bottom of that river, but I can only feel sadness when witnessing the continuous downfall of the championship I resurrected and the man with such remarkable potential still untapped. Even so, I cannot allow myself to bypass this opportunity now presented before me. Although I may be upon the cusp of beginning a new life, it would an outright lie to say that the competitive heart of the witch no longer beats within my breast."
"You might not recall, but over the course of my combined seventy-day tenure as Television Champion, I have proven to be a dauntless competitor in which no person on the Action Wrestling roster can afford to underestimate nor take lightly. I have stared into the hungry eyes of the likes of Carter Shaw and Wesley and come away better than before. I have valiantly competed against the many seeking to make their marks on this industry and those that are looking to solidify their legacies.
More importantly, I have done what you have not and have elevated that Championship to such a degree that the nameless folk and world champions alike chase after it like it on par with the Action Wrestling World Championship."
"You yourself are proof of that."
"Now, here I am, standing on the cusp of once more creating History here within Action Wrestling by becoming the only other person to hold any particular championship three times; being the only woman to do so. In order to make such feats a reality, to properly honor the memory of the Monster that propelled my career here, I must not treat this as a match against the likes of Bam Beefer or Andrew Stone. To me, this match is no different from the times when I stood against Carter Shaw or Wesley. I will bring out the best within myself and I will stand against you with everything that I am and have been forced to become over these last couple of years. It is through those tales of trials and tribulations that have forged me into what I am and it is what you will etch into your memory."
"The FUCKING Greatest Television Champion."
