"I was born ready, war ready."
He'd already created a stir. He could feel the waves, the dynamics and the tide changing direction. All of this and he'd only appeared in one match but it was enough. He knew, and he knew everyone else knew that there was a storm coming, whether they liked it or not was up to them but they couldn't ignore it. Not after the debut he had.
"You hear me Ronin?" He asked rhetorically.
Perched up against his red mustang, a smile on his face as he looked at the camera. Dressed in black jeans, a white t-shirt with a black leather coat over it. The embodiment of cool, a retro sort of look about, an old hollywood James Dean kind of look.
"This, this is my world." He stated, referring to the wrestling business. "I've made it my world. I've made it my home. And I've let everybody know that I am the best at what I do. I'm not afraid to admit that. I'm not going to hide away and tell you otherwise because it wouldn't be true. Deep down, everybody think's they're the best but I guess you kinda have to. Because why else would you be doing it? To be 'mediocre'? To be, 'OK'? Those words, they aren't in my vocabulary, I don't allow them to be.
Mediocrity, I despise it. But yet people are content with just being mediocre, they're OK with just being average and it baffles me. I hope you're not like that Ronin. I hope you're different, for your own sake as well as mine. Because when you step into the four sided circle with me Ronin, it's not going to be a mediocre contest, or an 'OK'. You have to expect a main event caliber fight. Doesn't matter where we are on the card. I'll give you a main event performance and I'll expect you to do the same. And if you don't, well that's punishable by defeat."
Clearing his throat he paused, clasping his hands together in the process.
"I've done my research. I know what you can do and I know where you've been. A small following in Japan, an expert in the mixed martial arts and an arsenal so unique I'm in awe. You've got this style about you, I admire. This background, I admire. And you're still young, you've got a long way to go.
Whilst you've dipped your toes within Japan competing in the smaller promotions, I've already conquered it and I'm in the process of conquering it again. Whilst you've yet to master your craft, I have and I'm constantly adding new additions to enhance it. What I'm trying to say is, I'm three steps ahead and there's no ignoring that. You know that too.
'Ghetto Strong Style', it's an art you've only just become accustomed to. You're just getting the grips of it. Whilst Storm Style, I've been developing that since the beginning of my career almost a decade ago. That's how long I've been around."
Pausing, he counted with his fingers; "I've got experience, I've got the accomplishments, I've got what it takes." He wasn't lying. And this point, it was no secret that Storm had become one of the biggest names within the wrestling realm. Something he was deeply proud of but never allowed it to let him slip into complacency.
"This is a crusade I'm on." He admitted. "I don't know how long I'm going to be here. It could be weeks, it could be months.. it could be years, but I'll know when the time has come. When I'm heralded the SKYFIRE Champion, that's when I'll know I've made it here.
I've come to conquer.
I've come to release hell on those who are in my way. And right now, you're in my way RONIN. And I can't have that. It's only a matter of time before I'll have a championship draped on my shoulder but until that time comes, I'll happily dismantle those who threaten to knock me off my pedestal."
He'd watched the video RONIN had posted, the fight scene that looked like it was out of a movie, looked like it must've of been scripted but he wasn't going to say anything about it. He was impressed with the presentation and with the efforts made but it didn't cause him to sweat.
"You said to came here to finish the fight that you started. Because guys like you, you always finish the fight. That's what you've been taught, that's what you know. But just because you finish a fight, doesn't guarantee you emerge the victor, you know that right?
A win, it's never promised. But if you can stand up after that fight, look your opponent in the eyes and shake his hand.. it won't matter, because you would've earned the respect, of Your Hero, And Mine.
You wanna fight? Well you've got the biggest fight in your life two days away. I hope you're ready. Because I know I am. You see RONIN, I was born for this. I was born ready. War, ready." He smirked, walking away from the bonnet and now entering the car. Bringing the windows down, he slowly drove pass and stopped as he reached the camera.
"You've got a lot of guts, kid. I'll give that to you. And I hope that what we create, is another five star match for the books. That's what the people want. Let's give them what they want! From Your Hero, And Mine." He chuckled, before finishing. "Peace out."
He then drove off, whilst the scene faded to black.
