❝ THE UNKNOWN ❞

 ────────── 🌹 ────────── 

Six months.



That is how long have been wrestling for. In just half a year I have found my way into rings across the world, facing off against the biggest names underneath the brightest spotlights. I have fought and clawed my way to ensure that this vision of mine is not a worthless apsiration that will be forgotten about in a short while. My pursuit for purification as taken me far and wide, and it has reached the masses. I can sense the restlessness of the fans begin to dissipate. I can feel the optimism beginning to pour from them again. In just six months, I have made believers out of douters, optimists out of pessimists, and made people realize that this is not a whimsical, childlike dream. This is a reality that we can all live in. Everything that I have done has inspired hope into people once more, and while it is incredible to think about, it hasn't been easy.



Because for those six months, I have entered each and every match with little caution for my own regard. I knew what pain was like. My journey has been far from a glamorous one. I never got to this point walking along a silk-ladden road. I had to walk through trecharous terrain, constantly putting myself, my livelihood, at risk for what I believe in. My hands bled and my body ached just to try and turn around those who became jaded from the one thing they used to love and show to them that there can still be some good. I have accomplished a lot, but at the same time, I've gone through so many trails and tribulations.



Now, six months later, I find myself in the toughest match of my career.



And once again, I feel the same way that I did back in May when I decided to embark on this endeavor.



It goes beyond this match being the main event. It goes beyond me facing off against the champions in Alistor Touchdown and MYOJIN. I am heading into this match with a dagger pointed right at the back of my neck for I have JUDITH as my partner, and I know that the odds are stacked against me. For all I know, JUDITH can take matters into her own hands at any given moment and jeopardize this match for me. This is the same individual who, after all, betrayed Stefan and has tried to make his life a living hell at every possible turn. She cares little for many within this sport, and given how I was the one who took this championship away from her, she and I will likely never see eye-to-eye for as far as we attach ourselves to the name of Infinite Pro Wrestling. I am aware that any second, she could forgo wanting to win this and, instead, ensure that I pay for taking what was once hers.



I must admit that it is worrisome. However, I cannot be fearful. I cannot be apprehensive. No matter what, I must do my best, even if things are not in my favor. Because, by rising above these obvious challenges, I can carry on with my movement and continue to wake everyone up here in IPW.



See, I care little to be seen as this prodigal, golden child. I do not wish to be propped up as a savior. My goals are not connected to some wishful, ignorant desire to be seen as a leader. I do not want to be revered. I want my actions to be. And if I get to have my actions heralded by beating you two in spite of everything, in spite of the opposition by right next to me... then so be it.

This path has never been an easy one and it will likely never be. So, there is no point in me backing down. I must do my best.
