OOC - Felix Vialpando Aftermath

As the scene fades backstage Felix Vialpando is seen still wearing his referee shirt as he walks down the hall with a grin etched on his face. No one in the hallway was happy to see the Project Continuum member after what he done during his cousin Emilio and Shane Atwater’s highly anticipated match up. No one knew why Felix did it. Just him.

It was known that Emilio’s separation from his family’s legendary LAX group and gym that the relationship between himself and Felix had was now strained. Felix felt as if Emilio turned his back on not just him but the entire family with no explanation as to why he left. Felix looked...Well looks up to Emilio. Always has. To watch his older cousin that was like an older brother to him distance himself from the family without knowing why hurt him. He felt like Emilio was stabbing him in the back even though Emilio has constantly told him it wasn’t how Felix was taking it. Felix was now left carrying the family’s legacy on his back and as the one now carrying the torch, he felt as if he needed to deal with the one he felt was a traitor to the family, Emilio.

Seeing the former HKW Global Tag Team Champion making his way down the hall, the young Texas bred backstage interviewer Bryant Gordan taps his assigned cameraman on his arm geting his attention. The two begin to run down the hall after Felix.

Bryant Gordan
Felix! Yo! Felix! Hey man! Hey!

Felix turns around as he hears his name being called. He stops as he smiles seeing Bryant running over.

Bryant Gordan
Hey! You mind if I ask you a few questions about tonight?

Felix looks at his G-Shock watch and shrugs his shoulders.

Felix “El Halcón” Vialpando
Sure I don’t see why not. I am the guy that saved this damn show after all.

Bryant looked at Felix for a moment wondering if he was serious. He shakes his head and goes on to ask his first question.

Bryant Gordan
Alright cool, cool. So let’s go ahead and ask the big question everyone has been wondering since what happened, happened. Why? Why did you do it?

Felix shakes his head and looks to be annoyed.

Felix “El Halcón” Vialpando
Are you kidding me? Are you kidding me? Why? Why? Why did I do it? Didn’t you see what happened out there? Am I the only one who knew they needed a qualified referee out there to officiate the match?! Jesus H. Christ! Do I need to hand out notepads to every freaking one around here?!

Bryant Gordan
No, not that. Well not that in particular. Why did you attack your cousin, Emilio? One would say you screwed over not just him, but Shane Atwater and the fans who were wanting to watch the match for so long. Why come out there to pose a referee just to do what you did?

Felix begins to chuckle. He gives a long sigh and nods.

Felix “El Halcón” Vialpando
Oh yes. That! Haha..Isn’t it obvious as to why I did it? Emilio is a traitor. A backstabber. An unloyal crapshoot. Yeah I said it, an unloyal crapshoot! And it’s all his freaking fault!?

Bryant Gordan
Sorry, can you perhaps elaborate on that? What exactly is his fault? Why is Emilio a traitor and an unloyal crapshoot? A crapshoot? Really?

Felix “El Halcón” Vialpando
WHAT IS HIS FAULT?! WHAT IS HIS FAULT?! WHY IS HE A TRAITOR?! HOW BLIND ARE YOU PEOPLE?!

Felix stops as he begins to take a few deep breaths to calm down. He even pulls out a notepad and begins to take a quick notes.

Felix “El Halcón” Vialpando
Did you people not see that travesty that happened on Destiny: Chapter 3? Mi y Levi lost the HKW Global Tag Team Championships and it’s all his fault?! He betrayed me! He betrayed our familia! How can you people be so infatuated with that scum knowing he turned his back on his own blood! You people make me sick! And as far as i can tell, you idiots should be thanking me! Shane Atwater should be thanking me! If it wasn’t for me you people would be have to wait forever for a referee! And Shane might have not had that chance to beat that sack of rotten tomatoes!

Bryant couldn't help but shake his head.

Bryant Gordan
Okay maybe he did turn his back on your family, but that’s more of a personal problem and there’s always two sides to a story. Anndd how can you possibly blame him for you guys losing to the Super Mario Wrestling Bros? Those guys are awesome and not to mention you guys lost that match fair and square might I add.

Felix holds up his notepad as it reads, stop.

Felix “El Halcón” Vialpando
Don’t you dare defend him! And I don’t need to explain myself to you! Just know that maybe if he never turned his back on the familia that mayyybbeee we wouldn’t have lost that match! It was our match to win and we lost! And it’s all his freaking fault! That is a fact! And no those pixelated idiots are not awesome, they suck!

Bryant Gordan
Fine, you don’t have to explain it to me. But you do know a certain someone is going to want an explanation about all this.

Vialpando grunts.

Felix “El Halcón” Vialpando
If that certain someone is Emilio then no! I don’t even have to explain myself to him! Did I get an explanation as to why he turned his back on me?! NO! ALL I GOT WAS GO TALK TO UNCLE LUIS?! AND THAT DOESN’T TELL ME ANYTHING DAMNIT?! You know what? SCREW YOU AND SCREW THIS! I’M GOING HOME!

Felix huffs and puffs as he begins to storm off. Bryant scratches his head and looks back to the camera.

Bryant Gordan
Um...Felix Vialpando, everybody?

Jackson Magnum sits on a bench in his locker room, his head in his hands, a knock at the door causes Jackson to lift his head. Gnarls Robinson opens the door, walking into the locker room. He walks over microphone in hand, and he takes a seat by Jackson. Jackson groans as he turns his head towards Gnarls.


Jackson Magnum: Ye need someting fella?


A looks of disappoint washes over Jackson face as he looks up at the tv in his room. The show had come to an end. He had it paused right where Felicity had won the HKW world champion, yet again.


Gnarls Robinson: Well, I was wondering if you could tell me how you’re feeling about your match with Nina tonight.


Jackson sighs heavily as he takes a casual glance at the television. He looks back to Gnarls and points to the scene, wincing a bit as it strains his neck.


Jackson Magnum: Ye know thee difference between Fel and myself? Et’s not a vast amount ov talent, er heart, hell et’s not even technical wrestling skill. Nah, I prove ta night tat I could be as technically sound as anyone. Tat I can put on a great match no matter thee cirumstances.


He looks up at Felicity, he bites down on his lip hard.


Jackson Magnum: Et’s none ov those, Fel finishes, she finds a way ta git thee win, and I just hafen’t. I could make a million excuses fer ta night, I caught some unlucky break, damn near broke my fecking neck. I had thee moment literally slip out ov me grasp, when I let go ov tat Sharpshooter. I could even say I held off on tapping fer wat seemed like ferever, but thee truth is none ov tat is important. Wat is important is tat I didn’t finish thee job,tat when I had thee opportunity, let et slip away.


Jackson reaches up grabbing the back of his neck in pain. Gritting his teeth, clearly still in pain.


Jackson Magnum: I don’t know, maybe I’ve been trying ta be ta nice, maybe I can’t git et done on me own. Wat I do know is tat be thee best, which I hafe promised my fans, I can’t continue down this road. I hafe now put on quite possibly thee best two matches en Hybrid Championship history wit thee Hybrid Hells, and now one ov ef not thee best match en Lionheart history. I’m literally tat great, and I’m realizing tat now. But I need ta stop worrying ef everyone likes me. Hell, thee fans sure as feck don’t care about et, and I need ta stop worrying about who respects me. Like Nina said befer this match, she probably never will. Didn’t matter how well I performed ta night. I’m starting ta realize I don’t fit en, tat ef I don’t go around tawking about who’s dating who, er who’s fecking who, er worse, hafing twenty five bff’s on thee twitter, tat tey never will.


Jackson walks over to his locker, reaching out and grabbing his superman jacket from the front of his. He grunts as he throws it over his shoulder, and then hesitates, before placing his arms in it.


Jackson Magnum: Et’s truly disappointing tat thee vast majority ov ye, hafe questioned my heart and my desire en this sport. But ye waste yer time tawking about anyting but this sport. Tat part ov et kills me, because ov wat I’ve gone through fer et. I don’t git et, Riley and Boaz’s sex tape gits more coverage tan Felicity’s, Nina’s, Emilio’s, Shane’s, and my performances ta night ever will. Is tat wat we’ve become? Feck et, doesn’t matter ta me. I’m going ta keep being one ov thee best, and I’m going ta learn ta close these matches out. Once I do tat, ye can tawk about anyting ye like, but thee only ting tat will truly matter, is tat these fans will hafe someone tey can actually look up ta. And maybe thee rest ov ye, will find time ta notice someting other tan yer own privates.


Jackson walks over to the door, grabbing the door handle and turning it.


Jackson Magnum: I understand glory, fame, and greatest are all fleeting ideas, but fer me nuttin else matters now.

With that Magnum walks out of the room with a slight limp as he disappears out of view.

As the fans are watching EVOLVE’S HKW Aftermath show the connection begins to be altered as the picture begins to lag and freeze until the connection to the network loses connection completely.

Posted Image
A second later some static is heard through the speakers. Static begins to appear on the screen as if there wasn’t a direct connection to a feed.

Posted Image
The sound of static stays constant for a few minutes until various voices as if they were coming from multiple sources begin to be heard in the background along with the static. Suddenly the voices begin form words...

TIME
TIME
TIME

The sound of the distorted group of voices was chilling the pulsating in the background continued.

WE HAVE PUT OUR TIME, BLOOD, SWEAT AND TEARS INTO THIS COMPANY
THIS COMPANY
THIS COMPANY


THIS COMPANY IS OURS
OURS

For a moment there was silence as the static continued to cover the screen and the pulsating came to a stop. The screen then faded to black soon after.

WE ARE
WE ARE
WE ARE

WE ARE THE HAUT MONDE

After the image appears the scene slowly begins to fade away and the connection soon begins to restore itself to EVOLVE.

As the scene opens, Emilio Vialpando is seen bursting out of the Trainer’s Room after getting cleaned and stitched up. He was visibly enraged and there’s no denying why he was. In one of the biggest matches in Emilio’s career at the biggest pay per view event in all of professional wrestling he and his opponent Shane Atwater were dealt a shitty hand by the likes of Emilio’s cousin. As if it was karma coming back at him for what he did to Jason Mentez last Destiny, it was like deja vu. Felix running down to the ring dressed up like an referee. Only this time, Felix wasn’t making his debut nor was Emilio still apart of LAX. Now, Felix was a former two time Global Tag Team Champion and a RISE Call Up Of The Year Winner while Emilio has went on to become a Hall of Famer and Wrestler Of The Year Winner after separating himself from his family’s faction. Only a couple of people knew the truth as to why Emilio left LAX and hasn’t spoken to really anyone in the family, and that didn’t include Felix.

Felix didn’t know a thing and was like a child throwing a temper tantrum or trying to get as much attention from someone just because he didn’t understand something fully. He only knew what was going on in the outside, but not the inside. Felix took it as Emilio not wanting nothing to do with him and the family because he was selfish. LIke all this fame has went to Emilio’s head or something. But anyone who has known Emilio would know that he loves his family more than anything on this world. Emilio took pride in his family and did everything he could to show that. He always wanted to be around them but suddenly...All that has changed. Now, he doesn’t want anything to do with him. You would have to think why would there be such a drastic change. Felix has tried to get that answer but denied the knowledge each and every time he tried. Emilio won’t tell him. And his Uncle Luis doesn’t want to talk about it to him.The other’s in the family have been as lost as Felix but treat it as something that would just blow over. The younger Vialpando couldn’t think that way. Felix has grown to see Emilio as a brother over the years, especially after leaving PRIDE once it closed. Being under Emilio’s wing changed his life for the better. Seeing someone let alone a family member that has been such a great influence in your life...turn their back on the family and not speak to anyone since then? It didn’t rub him the right way.

Dr. Toby Galloway
Emilio?! Emilio where are you going?! You’re in no condition to be going out like this?! Emilio?!

Emilio continued to make his way down the all ignoring the calls from the doctor. He didn’t care about anyone or anything at this moment. All he wanted to do was find Felix and figure out just what in the hell was going on. He knew of Felix’s frustrations for him leaving everything and everyone behind while distancing himself from the family. But...He didn’t think that Felix would do something like this. Emilio wished that Felix knew the truth as to why he left but he didn’t feel as if it was his place to be doing so.

As Emilio reaches the Referee’s Lounge he kicks the door open and looks around trying to see if Felix was in there.

Emilio Vialpando
Where is he? Where’s Felix?!

Fred Garrison
Hell if I know. That little shit stole my shirt?! You think that shit is cheap!?

Lee Redford
Hey Emilio, sorry bro we haven’t seen him.

Emilio stares over at Lee Redford still feeling that pit of anger at him after what happened in the company’s first ever Elimination Chamber Match. He quietly nodded and turned to leave.

Tate Schuler
AND HEY! YOU CAN’T JUST BARGE IN HERE LIKE THAT, KID?! SOME OF US ARE TRYING TO CHANGE HERE?!

Fred Garrison
Shut up Tate, and deal the damn cards.

Emilio hears as the door closes behind him. As he turns the corner there was Subversion’s backstage interviewer Tiffany Jay along with a cameraman. Her face lights up as soon as she sees Emilio and runs over to him.

Tiffany Jay
Oh my gosh! Emilio!!! I feel like I haven’t seen you in forever!

Emilio Vialpando
Not now, Tiffany.

Tiffany Jay
But I..Just one question, Emilio. Like old times before they traded you. C’mon it won’t take long I promise.

Emilio shakes his head trying to brush by.

Emilio Vialpando
I’m sorry Tiffany but this will have to wait till some other time. I need to find Felix.

Tiffany nods as she pulls the cameraman back along with her as Emilio continues to charge down the hall. Emilio then sees the man he was looking for storming down the walkway after having an interview with Bryant Gordan.

Emilio Vialpando
HEY?! WHERE THE FUCK YOU THINK YOU GOING HUH?!

Felix Vialpando
Shit.

Felix turns to see his overly pissed off cousin to his left. He didn’t want to have this confrontation, not right now anyways. Before Emilio could take off to go him two large men come running over to hold him back from getting a chance to do so.

Emilio Vialpando
KEEP RUNNING?! KEEP RUNNING FELIX?! NO PODRÁS CORRER DURANTE MUCHO TIEMPO!!!!! LET ME GO! LET ME GO!!!

Emilio tries to get free of the two men’s hold but couldn’t budge. By now Felix may have gotten away.

Benny
EM! CALM DOWN EM! CALM DOWN!

Max
C’mon kid, calm down! Calm down!

Some footsteps come running over as it was then shown to be Tony Capone who had his suit jacket off and his sleeves rolled up. He looked around the hallway trying to see who alll was seeing this happen. Seeing all the backstage personal watching he shakes his head.

Tony Capone
What the hell are you people looking at?! Get outta here?! NOW!!!

The people didn’t waste any time high tailing it out of there after hearing Capone raise his voice. He turns his attentions back to fuming Vialpando.

Tony Capone
Hey...Hey! Emilio! Settle down. Settle down, mio amico. You have to calm down, right now.

Emilio couldn’t calm down. He just wanted to get his hands on Felix.

Tony Capone
Look at me. Look at me Emilio. LOOK AT ME.

Emilio turns to look at Tony staring at him.

Tony Capone
I promise you, I’m going to figure out what happened and why it all happened. You have to trust me, Serpe. I’m going to get to the bottom of this. All i need is for you is to keep your cool and let me handle it.

Emilio Vialpando
How?! How can I keep my damn cool knowing he just ruined everything out there! He stole me y Shane’s moment out there! That was our fucking moment and he comes out there and ruins it all because of what?! What the fuck?!

Capone nods understanding Emilio’s frustration.

Tony Capone
I know, I know. We’re going to get this shit figured out alright. I need you to calm down first alright? I don’t need you running around here running rampage of the place or going out in the city doing something stupid. You have way too many eyes on you, Serpe. You know this. Especially tonight. Calm down, go to your locker room, get dressed and go be with those who love you. You’re not going out with Rinoceronte or Scorpione, tonight. Besides they’re not in any shape to be doing any sort of partying tonight anyways. And neither are you, especially in his mindframe. I have a car waiting outside for you. I already have someone escorting Madisin out to the car as we speak. Don’t worry. Be with her tonight, Serpe. She’ll keep you you calm and get your mind off this for now.

Emilio takes a few deep breaths and nods. As he does so Max and Benny let go of him.

Emilio Vialpando
Fine..Fine alright. Tell the others I...I dropped the ball tonight. I’ll hit them up some other time. We can celebrate then when we’re all together again with Dragón.

Tony Capone
It’s not your fault, Emilio. You didn’t do anything wrong. You went out there and put on a show, as always. Max. Go with him. Make sure he doesn’t--

Eli Zayn
Emilio! What happened out there?! Why did Felix do that?!

Tony turns to see Eli standing there with a cameraman trying to conduct an interview at the worst possible time. Once Eli sees who was with Emilio he begins to cautiosly back away.

Tony Capone
No. Fucking. Interviews! GET OUTTA HERE! Get that fuckin camera out of here!

Benny steps up to Eli and the cameraman they both start to book down the hall.

Tony Capone
Gesù Cristo….

Tony says as he shakes his head. He looks over his shoulder at Emilio.

Tony Capone
Go, Serpe. Don’t keep Madisin waiting.

Emilio nods and begins to walk with Max down the hall to his locker room. Tony lets out a sigh and looks over to Benny.

Tony Capone
Let’s go check on the others.

Benny nods as he follows Capone in the opposite direction while the scene fades away.

Backstage, Gnarls Robinson is standing with his cell phone in hand; his back is turned to the camera, which is fast approaching with someone else in tow. A hand grabs Gnarls by the shoulder, causing the chunky interviewer to jump in shock as he turns around.

GNARLS ROBINSON: Goddamnit, you scared me.

DOM HARTER: Bygones!

GNARLS ROBINSON: Sure thing, Dom.

Gnarls quickly puts his cell phone to sleep and pockets it, before he takes in the sight before him; the Tenacious Little Bastard is still dressed in his ring attire and soaking in sweat, his head wound bandaged up to stop the bleeding, and the Destiny Cup is being held in one hand.

DOM HARTER: What you go there?

GNARLS ROBINSON: Nah, man. Besides, don’t you got better things to talk about right now?

Harter grins, wincing slightly as he lifts the Destiny Cup up into view; he gives it a quick kiss as he drapes an arm over Gnarls’ shoulder, albeit to prop himself up more than as a sign of camaraderie.

GNARLS ROBINSON: How you feeling, man?

DOM HARTER: I’m not going to lie, Gnarls, I feel like I’ve been hit with a motherfucking truck! Every muscle in my body aches, but this right here…

Harter strains himself to lift the cup again.

DOM HARTER: But this right here? This makes it all worth it. From facing Evangelina Ramirez and Xavier Asher Daniels, to putting up with Banahan, Cole and Nest. Because this…

Harter grins, gripping the cup tightly with one hand.

DOM HARTER: …is the first step I needed to take on my journey here in HKW. Practically undefeated, and the Destiny Cup winner – I’m riding high! And like Levi Chambers did last time around, I’m going to use this momentum to achieve great things! So kudos to you, Nest, that was a hell of a challenge. But the better man won tonight!

Harter staggers away, managing to leave on his own recognizance as Gnarls looks to the camera and shrugs, before the scene comes to an end.

Lightly shouldering his bag the cameras have to zoom out to encompass his full frame from head to toe. He closes the door of his locker room his back still turned and with a light exhale turns around...right into the waiting face of Lola J and company. Camera already rolling and waiting. The irritation on his face more than obvious.

LOLA J: DeMarcus. You and William Alexander An---

The former ½ of the World Tag Team Champions lightly raises his hand up in her face not in a polite way either. Lola comes to a halt.

DEMARCUS GRESHAM: Please henceforth do not speak of Gifted and garbage in the same sentence. It is far unsavory. I tried to elevate a man who is merely average. Tonight proves this. Tradition can only go so far when you are unwilling to pay dues to it. He was unwilling. Here I stand. There he laid. My debt to the HKW World Tag Team division has been paid. For the past few months I fed the needy in the soup kitchens, inspired others to care about the careless, and given what’s no longer needed to the less fortunate. I have enlightened, the goal and endpoint. “You and”---is no longer necessary.

Lola J’s eyes open at that responds pushing the microphone closer to DeMarcus wanting more.

LOLA J: Is that confirmation that Surgical Tendencies is no more?

DEMARCUS GRESHAM: The goal is still ongoing as long as I am here I will inspire, I will stand tall, I will rid of the cancers in this profession for our tradition it just so happens I am one who really is able to stand for that particular task. The four generations---have become the dining room table without the four base legs. Unable to stand and unable to hold weight. A problem more suited for those...unenlightened. My time is short and I don’t work miracles...

He throws his arms out in an overconfident manner with a cocky smirk.

DEMARCUS GRESHAM: I am, the miracle.

Lola J can be seen almost rolling her eyes before DeMarcus moves forward looking to leave the area. She presses her hand up quickly trying not to allow him to leave.

LOLA J: Wait wait wait, so about tonight? It was your first defense and you and...umm you lost? Team DLC is the new World Tag Champions. Do you have even anything to say about that?

DeMarcus takes a long long LONG pause not saying a word until bending forward toward where Lola is holding the microphone.

DEMARCUS GRESHAM: You're welcome and enjoy.

He walks off not even giving Lola J a second to respond.

The camera fades in. We see a shot of Nina Stokes resting on a bench backstage, just outside the women’s locker room. A large white towel covers her damp hair, and most of her head. The Hard Knox Wrestling Lionheart Championship is draped across her lap. Nina uses her left hand dry her face and hair with the towel; she then tosses it onto the bench.

She shakes her head a bit as she turns and looks over at the nearby camera. Although it’s been a fair amount of time since her match with Jackson Magnum, it’s clear that she’s still exhausted. She breathes in deeply before speaking.

NINA STOKES: Have you ever sat back pondered what drives us as wrestlers?

She pauses for a quick second.

NINA STOKES: Some will say fame; some will say money. And some will say for the love of the sport. And if you boil all those answers down, we are all chasing one thing—that big moment. That’s really why we roam from country to country, from promotion to promotion.

She winces a bit. A bit of pain shoots through her right arm. She let’s out a grunt of frustration as she continues to talk.

NINA STOKES: For a lot of people, that big moment translates into a world championship, or something of that nature. That is substantial—however, a wrestler’s moment isn’t just limited to a world title run, you know?

She nods her head.

NINA STOKES: Over the past few months, I’ve had the honor and privilege of calling myself the Lionheart Champion. I’ve had the honor and privilege of standing at the forefront and molding this division. And tonight at Destiny Chapter Four, here at the Rice Stadium, I had the honor and privilege of successfully defending this championship against my toughest challenger to date…

To her left sits a can of pain relieving cooling spray. She quickly grabs it and gives it a firm shake. Afterwards, she sprays it on her right arm.


NINA STOKES: Jackson Magnum—I still don’t respect you. To be frank, that might never happen.

She sits the can down and then gingerly waves her arm to dry it.

NINA STOKES: That being said, I’m not too foolish or proud to give credit where credit is due. You were on fire tonight, Jackson. Although, it’s not like I, or anyone else, expected less. Despite your antics, when it’s time to go in the ring, you show up and show out.

Once again, she nods her head.

NINA STOKES: You hurt me, Jackson. A lot of people here in HKW have hit me; more people than I care to count have clocked me over the back of the head. However, not many of them have put me in that type of danger. And for that, I need to give you a nod.

There were times during that match where I wanted to tap out. Hell, there were times where I should have tapped out. And yet, I couldn’t bring myself to do so. I know there aint no shame in tapping, living to fight another day and all that…

Nina pauses for second. There’s a particular look in her eye.

NINA STOKES: But, giving up in front of all those fans? Quitting during one of the largest wrestling events of the year? I wouldn’t have been able to look at myself in the mirror. Jackson, I can take an L with the best of them; hell, you’ve given me one. But at Destiny? On the grandest of all stages?

Naw—I wouldn’t have been able to live with that, Jackson. That’s why I kept getting up. That’s why I kept moving forward, despite my arm.

A moment or two later, one of the medics walks by. He hands Nina a large ice pack. She quickly places the ice pack on her arm and leans her back against the wall.

NINA STOKES: I know there will be detractors, some people will try to discredit my win. Let them talk. No amount of chatter is going to take away from prestige that this belt and division just received. No amount of talk is going to erase the moment I just had in the ring.

She lets out another sigh.

NINA STOKES: As I’ve walked throughout this life as a wrestler, I’ve met a bunch of awesome people along the way. I don’t always acknowledge yall on camera; but, I’m going to do so today.

Zoey Alder, Felicity Banks, Lacey Cohen, DeMarcus Gresham, Artemis Kaiser, Ryan LeCavalier, Laruel Hardy, Ashley Maldano, Fujiko Mine, Violet Ripley, and all my other homies. You all hold me down; you all keep me encouraged. You all have helped me become the wrestler I am today, and for that, I thank you all.

Her eyes fall down to the Lionheart Championship on her lap. She takes a hold of one of its straps.

NINA STOKES: But you know, there’s another group of people that have contributed to my success as well; and I’d be severely remiss if I didn’t mention them as well.

Fran, Gaia Galanos, Dom Harter, Luke Wisia, Veronica Taylor, Bo McCleary and friends, Joey Miles, Victor Wylde, Zander Shaw, and anyone else who has spoken negatively about me throughout this three year odyssey—thank you as well. Thank you for taking time out of your day to talk down to me. Thank you for constantly questioning my resolve. Truth be told, I wouldn’t have the same drive that I do now if it wasn’t for yall. I wouldn’t have the same motivation. And if not for yall, I damn sure wouldn’t be the champion that I am today.
