How did I end up like this?
This time two months ago I had everything, I was the acting director of the WFWF, I was the WFWF World Champion and the WFWF Tag Team Champion. I was the biggest thing in WFWF, unstoppable, undefeatable.
Now, I have none of that.
So once again I ask myself, how did it happen?
Oh, that’s right, I grew a goddamned soul.
Don’t get me wrong, I didn’t start caring what everybody else thinks of me, I still don’t care. People can hate me if they want, that doesn’t bother me. They’ve hated me so far, it wouldn’t shock me.
But no, I didn’t start caring about that. I just realised that I’d lost the thrill of winning because I did it cheaply. I wasn’t giving every match my all because I knew that I could just get in a few cheap shots, get some help from somebody like Thunder or Saku and I’d be set. But that got old quickly, I lost the thrill of the fight, I missed it.
I realised what was wrong, and I amended it. I took on a new lease of life, and it cost me everything. But I have no regrets, because despite losing the WFWF World title I won back the thrill of the fight. Now every time I step foot in that ring, I’m there to fight, I’m there to push my opponent to the limit, I’m there to win not because I want to, but because I can.
I’d hate to be the guy getting in the ring with me this week.

Sitting in the living room of the apartment I share with my girlfriend, I watch and study the images playing across the plasma screen television that is one of the more expensive objects I own (besides the penthouse apartment and insanely pricey Aston Martin that gets me from A to B). On the screen images of Aaron Ashton play, a highlight package of sorts.
The kid’s good, no doubts about that. He wouldn’t be able to hold his own against someone like Malakai if he wasn’t. He’s got the ability, he could test me in terms of ability, but Ashton has one major problem, one glaring weakness.
He’s a complete nutjob.
He’s spent months talking about some higher power, him and his cohorts in Revelation, and yet I’ve seen nothing in these tapes that show anything divine about him, Malakai or O’Deeves. Sure, they’ve all got a lot of talent, but they don’t seem to know how to use it. Hell, O’Deeves won the National championship and Revelation quickly fell apart. What does that tell you about their potential?
Not a lot? Well maybe your mind isn’t as analytical as mine.
It tells me that they’re not going to get anywhere while obsessing over some higher power who probably doesn’t exist. Don’t get me wrong, I know all the religious teachings, my parents were devout Catholics. Scarily devout with a bit of a penchant for whiskey and beating their kids but devout Catholics none the less so Aaron Ashton isn’t the first person I’ve met who’s twisted religion into their own sickening mockery.
You see, religion isn’t something to be taken lightly. Whether you believe in it or not it’s a major part of life. You get plenty of people who follow it and live their lives without any problems. It doesn’t cause problems for other people and while some people can’t understand this dedication to their religion they’re still civil to them, they don’t cause any problems so why should we?
But then there are those people who twist religion, who turn it into a weapon for their stupid little crusades. Some of them lie about it, literally use religion as an excuse, while others seriously believe what they preach. I’m not sure which one Ashton is, and I think that makes him all the more dangerous. Does he himself truly understand what he preaches? I’m not sure, and that worries me.
Ashton is going to be dangerous, and a tough opponent to face for sure, but he’s nothing I can’t handle, sociopaths aren’t new to me and it won’t be the first time I’ve faced one in the ring.
Won’t be the first time I’ve defeated one either.
One thing’s for certain, I’m going to beat the fear of Trace Demon into him.
