Silence Speaks Louder...
Versus C | God Amongst Men | RP #2
I've been waiting for you to say something. Anything. I was hoping that I would get some sort of retort, another one of your generic passive-aggressive rants masked as nice-guy nonsense.
Yet you've been uncharacteristically silent, C. Why is that? Cat got your tongue? Maybe you've realized that I'm right. Maybe you're second guessing the choice you made to challenge me.
I can imagine what you're thinking.
You must see me as someone who is bitter and cynical. After all, C, that's more than likely how you view most that oppose your optimism. To you, I must represent what the problem of professional wrestling is because I don't play by the rules you think are just. In reality? I'm just trying to warn you, because I've been in the exact place that you're in.
When I started, I had similar, grand dreams of how I would change the landscape of this sport. I told myself that I would somehow create a better future and I was very determined to do so, despite the many challenges that I had faced. And at one point, it felt like it had paid off. Like I finally was inching one step closer to the goal that I had.
Then my eyes were opened when someone stabbed me with a screwdriver and took everything that I had worked so hard to obtain. After that day? I had sworn to never allow anyone to take from me. I grew wiser, and I became a far better version of myself. The same version that now stands as Infinite Pro World Champion and will continue to be.
What you deem as barbarism, C is what I deem effectiveness. Your moralism doesn't have any place in this sport as cutthroat as this one is. Yet I can almost appreciate how determined you are, how unwilling you are to let go of your naive vision. There's just one issue:
You think you have what it takes to change the world without making the sacrifices necessary to do so. I don't think you have the resolve that you claim to have.
Truth be told, C? I think you're scared. I think the butterflies in your stomach have started to remind you of just what you have put yourself into. The fact that you're not willing to put that Next Level title on the line in this match proves it all. I'm not JUDITH, I'm not someone you can out-wrestle. I'm not someone you can outsmart. I'm not someone you are prepared for.
Just what exactly do you think is going to help you win? Heart? The power of love and friendship? All this time you've thought highly of yourself, believing that you- someone who's been doing this for what, seven months at best?- were going to impose your will upon this industry. But the truth is? There are levels to this. And you just aren't there yet.
You will not beat me, but maybe I can teach you something. Maybe God Amongst Men can be the moment that finally awakens a fire within you. This match isn't going to be about what's right and what's wrong, what's acceptable and what isn't- This is about which one of us is willing to dig deep and find the ferocity, the relentlessness, the cruelty that is necessary to sit at this throne.
And from all I've seen of you? Well, I don't see that edge in your eyes. I still see someone who despite puffing his chest up, is still little more than a lost puppy that's still trying to figure out his place here. But don't worry! You'll find out that your place is beneath me when everything is said and done.
This is going to be the hardest fight of your life. And either the pressure will finally force you to unleash everything you have and show me what makes a worthwhile challenger- or I break you into pieces and leave you for the referee to clean up.
When we face each other, when you realize that once again- playing safe against someone like me won't work… I hope you learn from it. I hope it lights a spark within you that finally pushes you past this pointless, childish mission of yours.
But my hope for that dwindles more and more. At best, once you lose, I expect to hear you give a heartfelt sob story to this audience. About how you will come back stronger and try again.
At this rate, who knows? There's one thing that is inevitable, however, and that is the Shining Star's reign will not end here.
It's about time someone gave you a reality check.
