From the desk of Griffin Hawkins.
I've only been here in EWC for a while...and some people think they know me. In reality...they don't. What they see..is only a tip of the iceberg. I'm not some gimmick....this isn't something that the marketing geniuses in EWC came up with. Nobody told me to go out there and be this to entertain the crowd. Those who have followed me from the beginning know that I am the real deal, that I am everything that I say I am.
People who have followed my career have seen everything that I've gone through. I'm not even supposed to be here at this point in time in my career. I wasn't even supposed to win title after title, becoming World Heavyweight Champion three times in my career. Many years ago I was betrayed by ones I thought I could trust. They...and all the doubters believed that my career was over, that I would never succeed without them. There were times when I believed them...but deep down inside...I knew they were wrong. I realized then the only person I could depend on was myself. I knew the road ahead of me would be a long one...and if I was to prevail, I would have to fight no matter what was put in my path.
Some years later.....in another company, I was betrayed by someone I thought I could call my brother. He saw the threat that I posed to him, and wanted to eliminate me from the equation altogether. He wanted to make sure that I would remain in his shadow. He even went as far as taking someone close to me, getting in her head and brainwashing her into thinking that I was using her, turning her against me in the process. People doubted me then as well. They thought with nothing left...I have no chance against him because I was emotionally spent. And in the fight of my career, I beat him in the most brutal barbaric match of my life. I had climbed the mountain and became World Heavyweight Champion...silencing the critics once again.
EWC.....I came to this place to prove once again that I can and will become the man to beat. The one destiny I will fulfill as long as I am in this company is to become the World Heavyweight Champion. Voltaire once said..the more we dwell on our misfortunes, the greater is their power to harm us. I've come this far in my career to prove that I am the best in the world. Many may laugh at this...but as history has proven, I always get the last laugh in the end. And I will not rest until I am at the top of the company.
But there is another reason why I am here. For too long I've seen people in this sport be taken advantage of...hurt....backstabbed, left for dead by the people who thought they could trust. I look at them and I see myself from years ago. I know what it's like to put all my faith in someone only for them to leave me in the dust when I've outlasted my usefulness to them. I will not sit back and watch people get victimized. I will not allow the weak and the downtrodden to be hurt by those in power. Someone needs to take a stand, someone needs to stand up, someone needs to stop the injustice. That someone is me.
Living Dead Karl is just the start of it....others will have to deal with me. People need to see the new day that dawns in EWC. I'm not claiming to be some kind of hero...but I represent the weak, the misused, the abused, the disenfranchised, the ones who have often been told that they will never be anything because of who they are and where they come from.
In life...I have been persecuted by many because I don't fit the mold of what a Superstar should be. I don't care if I don't fit the ideals of anyone. What you see is what you get. I'll stand by you if you stand by me.
I'm not looking to carry the weight of EWC on my shoulders...but I am looking to make it place where no one is ever taken advantage of again. It is a long road...but it is a road that I will travel until the bitter end.
Until then....this is The Rock Soldier.
