Ryu stands in the middle of the ring arms outstretched, an aura of Betterness surrounding him.
RYU: If a single strand of Betterness’ hair is worth more than human life…
Ryu pauses and strokes each arm of his jacket and flourishes to the crowd again.
RYU: A jacket made PURELY of Betterness’ hair is worth more than ENTIRE UNIVERSES.
RYU: Bask in it, BASK IN MY BETTERNESS!
The camera pans to the announce team.
What is going on.
I don't know but the champ is coming next.
#Austin Lee raises the Interim CCW Heavyweight title in his hand displaying it to the crowd as he circles the ring, picking up a microphone in the process. Laying the title on his shoulder as he looks out onto the crowd a smile growing on his face as he is listening to the response he is receiving.
#Austin Lee: March 31, 2016…. The first day I set foot inside of a Turmoil ring in front of you fine people. Some rich punk who barely knew how to lace up a pair of boots and would rely on gimmicks, let alone get it done inside this ring. Being told by everyone that I wouldn’t ever be able to improve, that I should just give up on the idea of being a respected wrestler in this company, that I should just pack up and kick dust as guys like me don’t belong.
#Austin Lee: The same words that are most of you have heard throughout your life, rather it be about your job, a passion, a hobby or even just everyday life. All becoming obstacles that you can allow yourself to fall victim to or you can overcome. Now for some they will hold onto these obstacles and use them as excuses why they never quite made it, why they gave up on a dream, pointing a finger at everyone but the one who is responsible for allowing themselves to be overcome by an obstacle as it’s the easy way out.
#Austin looks down at the Interim CCW Heavyweight title.
#Austin Lee: 715 days…. Ladies and gentlemen…. 1 year, 11 months, and 16 days I chose to believe in myself and take control of those obstacles I allowed into my life. I woke up every morning with 1 goal… 1 dream… to become a champion….
#Austin Lee: Even when I turned my back on all you fans, day in and day out I still pushed myself chasing that dream to stand before you all as a champion… It took me realizing the wrongs I have done to you all for me to achieve this…
#Austin Lee touches the Title to his heart and raises it to the crowd.
#Austin Lee: You are looking at living proof ladies and gentlemen that dreams do come true when you are willing to fight for them. When you refuse to quit when you refuse to stay down when you refuse to back down and when you wake up every morning and embrace the grind to achieve everything you dreamed of….
#Austin Lee: For all of you here in attendance tonight and those watching at home I want you to reach out and feel this moment right now, let this flow through you, let yourself feel the true meaning that is of #Invictus, the true meaning of being Unconquerable In life…. Let this title become your symbol of hope when you are at a low point of your life and use it to guide you forward to a better place.
#Austin Lee: Long as I hold this title, you shall never feel alone in your battles to overcome those obstacles, long as I have breath in my lungs and blood pumping through these veins know that I will always be right here fighting for you, proving to the world that if you want something bad enough and are willing to work for it any dream can come true…
#Austin Lee throws the microphone down and raises the title in the air again as the camera fades to black.
