What exactly do I want left out of all of this?
Why am I continually putting myself through all this?
When will my stress relieve itself from the mental pain I’m feeling?
These are just a few of the questions that run through my brain on a daily basis. It’s been quite a while hasn’t it? I’m something of a relic to the Professional Wrestling world at this point. Once several years ago being held to a standard of excellence to match many of the all time greats throughout the history of our beautiful sport. Nowadays if you utter my name in front of people you’ll either get a ‘who’ or a “oh god not that guy’. Needless to say during my time in the squared circle while I made a lot of friends and fans, I also made my fair share of enemies throughout many federations. Over the years I always tried to show through my actions that even if you’re not the most naturally talented, possess god given ability immediately out of the gate, or are one of the ‘chosen ones’ by those that be in whatever profession you choose to occupy, THAT YOU CAN STILL MAKE YOUR DREAMS A REALITY WITH ENOUGH HARD WORK! That was always my mentality. Aspire to Inspire was a phrase I would use when addressing young fans I wanted to instill hope in as well as words of motivation I’d use for younger members of our locker rooms. And yes there’s a very particular reason I mentioned ‘god given ability’. But I’ll elaborate on that more in a bit. I believe first something more proper to do would be…well….introducing myself. Hello to the bulk of you out there who have no idea who you’re speaking to. My name is Nasir Moore. I’ve been a part of the wrestling business working for various promotions throughout North America, Japan, Mexico, and The United Kingdom since 2010 on and off. I’ve helped run major organizations and even invested into my own promotion as well as a wrestling school which I currently still operate out of my new home in Atlanta. I’ve fought on some of the biggest stages that this business has to offer and held major world championship gold several times in numerous places. And from the opening statement I gave, for as much good as I did, I probably did just as much bad…just being completely honest.
A polarizing figure to say the least.
Someone who can elicit a reaction from others no matter what I say or do.
But let us delve deeper into honesty.
That’s a key thing to take away from me, I am a man who above all else values honesty. I think one of my biggest issues has been the fact that I am honest to a fault and I have very little filter in my mouth. At one point I claimed to be the ‘Best Wrestler Alive’ and there may have been an argument for that claim several years ago. About four to six years ago to be precise. Doesn’t seem like that long ago when you say it out loud, but really thinking about it, that time feels like an eternity in the past now. Just scrolling through twitter and doing research on the many federations that dominate the landscape now, the world of Professional Wrestling is hardly even recognizable to the one I know of! Not just the workers, but the promotions as well. Hell almost nothing is the same…except what we do in that ring of course! We still fight! We still put it all on the line! We still do everything we can to secure victory! But I suppose the real question is…can I still do that at this stage of my life? If you were to ask people like my opponent for Discovery…they’d tell you I’ve wasted not just my time, but everyone’s time by being here. And truth be told I may have believed him a bit ago. I may have bought into his words. I may have fed into that ideal. BUT I WOKE UP TODAY AND I WAS INVIGORATED ONCE MORE! I may not be the Best Wrestler Alive anymore, those days are most likely behind me. But I’m still a world class athlete with unmatched fire and passion! I’ve never backed down from any situation even if it would be wiser to do so! And I DAMN SURE ain’t bout to pick today to start running! So let me tell you something Mordos no matter how much you think you know about me, it could never truly be enough to fully give you the edge on me. There’s no way you could think it was that simple could you?
Because yes for a while I was going to just keel over.
I felt that I had bit off more than I could chew after signing with Infinite Pro.
Had my hubris once again set up my downfall…and could this be my final chance ever?
NO! ABSOLUTELY NOT! LIKE I SAID EARLIER I’M MOTIVATED TO RETURN TO MY ROOTS! I am Nas in his final form. His complete state of being. I’m returning to the values I possessed years ago that endeared me to the masses and led me to my greatest successes. But now I’m older and wiser from going through all the experiences I did over the years. Good and Bad. They’ve all helped mold and shape my mentality into the man that stands before you today. Why have I been so silent? It’s because I wasn’t sure I could do this. And to give you credit, what a specimen I find myself up against right off the bat. If I can’t dig deep and pull out even a semblance of the old Nas, then I’m doomed. But don’t think you can just bowl me over, big man. Being exiled from the business you’d dedicated your entire life to. Forced into the shadows for seemingly all eternity. Drifting in the darkness of solitude. A man realizes what every little thing in his life actually means to him. A person who comes out from the other side of that has the chance to rebound themselves and make it all worth it in the end. I don’t care how much stronger you are than me. How imposing of a figure you cut. What your god desires from you to do to me and anyone else you lock your eyes on! I’M A WRESTLER DAMNIT! AND I INTEND TO WRESTLE MY FUCKING HEART OUT COME DISCOVERY! I WILL PUNCH, KICK, HEADBUTT, KNEE, ELBOW, FOREARM, SCRATCH, CLAW, SUPLEX, WHATEVER THE HELL I HAVE TO DO TO PUT YOUR BIG ASS DOWN!
I will no longer wallow in sorrow from my experiences.
I will no longer pity myself and feel sorry for the state I found myself in.
There shall be no more thinking about the downfall or the end or believing there’s no chance for redemption.
BECAUSE I WRITE MY OWN REDEMPTION STORY TODAY! AND THIS IS THE VERY FIRST CHAPTER! Because what I’ve failed to mention specifically is why I’d been thrown into the abyss. It truly was my own fault. You’re right, Mordos. I was prideful, I’d become dark and twisted and consumed with greed and jealousy. Bitter towards the entire world. Gone maniacal over the business I’d once fought so hard against men like that. I’d become what I despised. The younger Nas would’ve vomited at the sight of who he had become. But my punishment for my misdeeds was forced solitude. And slowly but surely it chipped away at every bit of my armor. I’ve been humanized once more. I’ve been humbled. But I still possess the knowledge and experiences of all my previous runs. Which means I can flip the switch and flip my lid against someone like you should it be necessary. My Rise was based on the blood, sweat, and tears of a young man who idolized his heroes and icons growing up and was inspired to chase after the same dreams they made so alluring to him. My Downfall however, was brought about by what the evils of this business can turn a man into. Pride, Greed, Envy, Wrath…more than half of the seven deadly sins I had embodied effortlessly. Now, the Rebirth…and I no longer look to be the man who rose up nor the man who descended downward. Now I simply wish to be me. The man who went through all those trials and tribulations. And the guy who will use those past experiences to help better himself and everyone else around him. Infinite Pro Wrestling was the first place to truly give me that opportunity to showcase this new mentality I’d developed to the world. And unfortunately for you Mordos, you’ll be the first opponent to take on the new me.
But who knows big guy…maybe I can shed some light upon you that your god never had before.
