Silence is Golden.

It's an often misused and over-quoted phrase, but here it's valid and eloquent. For weeks my various opponents have been telling you how they'll one way or another end up EW Heavyweight Champion. For weeks, I've gone out there and done my job, and I've won, I've entertained the masses and said very little. I only missed one show, on account of going through a very difficult point in my life, and then I came back. Still, I didn't whine, I didn't cry, I didn't spit bile or try to generate hype. I did my job. Silently. Granted that's my bad, part of my job is to speak to the camera, but that's why I have an agent, for the most part, Jake had me covered and I thank him. I've already eaten my crow and apologized to the Empire's Power's that Be in private, for being such a hard to get a hold of, unruly superstar.

That all ends here, because, in spite of everything my co-stars have fed you, they failed. No ifs, ands or buts. They. Failed. I'm not going to sit here and try to tell you that part of my silence wasn't fear of looking like an idiot after it was all said and done. Been there, done that, eaten looottts of crow. I still came out every night against everything EW had and kicked ass, granted Johnny got lucky, his dad couldn't chew through Markum fast enough to put him down and he interrupted my match. I hate winning like that, I want a rematch and also hasn't anyone ever told 'the devil' not to play with his food? It's fucking messy and stupid, if your gonna maul someone, fucking do it. Don't stop to savor it, it's an ass whooping not a steak don't be bloody dramatic it just gives them an opportunity to make you look like a damn fool. Markum did, by the way, Deamon, make you look stupid. That's why I put Jacey down with one Human Error Processor.

Billy Way, apt to his name, ran away and I hate winning like that too but hey what's a scared weirdo to do when he's getting his ass beat? Go back to playing for the Primetime Championship small pokes, you're not ready for this yet, obviously.

Regardless of what's happened over the last few weeks, I walked into Next Level Ascension, well properly Next Level Ascension 2. I was there when Mi Herma Mighty Jo won the Tag Team Titles in the first one. My trip down memory lane aside, I walked in, faced down all of my opponents and walked out EW Heavyweight Champion. I am catchin' up and I am seein' red. How about I prove I'm right and raise it overhead? I never promised you anything I couldn't do. I told you in the beginning, told everyone, I was gunning for the Championship, that I was dead set on this Championship and I never promised any of you, anything I couldn't do.

See, this is my redemption, the end to my circle. Blazenwing Fed is dead, done, dusted and ashes. This Empire title is what I get, it's my take away, I told Kurt years ago while beating the bejesus out of a trash can that I would get him back. That I wouldn't stand for him ripping the BWF World Championship out of my hands like that.

When I heard Empire was coming back, and that Kurt was going to be involved, you're damn right I had to be here. BWF gave me my first contract, they looked at an excitable, cocky kid and they helped mold into a fierce predator, a force to be reckoned with. Some of the people I owe that too are here in Empire and I will do right by them. It's taken me years, but this my first proper Heavyweight Championship and I'm not afraid to admit that. I've been dicked over by several company's management, I've had Federations close when I was inches from titles when I had everything at my fingertips. I've buried my edge, sharpened my teeth, I've been beaten on and pissed off. I've been underestimated, over looked and forged in flames. All of you can call yourselves Prom Kings and Ice Queens, rulers and 'foregone conclusions.' None of you are Armies unto yourselves, none of you are forces of nature.

I. Am. I am Empire Heavyweight Champion and I'm going to lead this roster by example. I'll defend my title at every opportunity, I'll fight my heart out every single time. I bled to get this belt and I'll bleed buckets to keep it.

I am Your Empire Heavyweight Champion and I don't make promises I don't keep.
