PRW,

Just as the hardest steel is forged in the hottest fires, so too, we humans are forged and strengthened through our own struggles and triumphs.

If you have been paying attention, you know all my triumphs and you are painfully aware of my struggles. It is my goal to garner a title to prove to my young son that "Daddy" is worthy of his acclaim and his admiration. It's my goal to have a tangible trinket to prove to my son and ex-wife that all the time gone was worth it.

This journey has been my fire. I am the iron being shaped by it.

It has been said that all great men are forged in fire. Leaders, heroes, icons; the truly memorable and worthy of praise and esteem. Thus, it is the privilege of lesser men to light the flame.

I've been at this chosen profession for what has been a little over a decade. I have wrestled the best that there is to offer; here, in Japan and most importantly to me, in Mexico.

It was in Mexico where I, alongside with my partner and brother, Joey Nox, was able to reignite my career after having been a bit of a talented-yet-self-sabotaging locker-room cancer in my younger years. Mexico taught me how to become a professional, and exposed me to the Lucha style I still use today.

Mexico, it should be noted, served as a springboard for tours of Japan where I learned the technical side of my craft. A technical side, mind you, that I have honed over the past decade to the point I'm regarded as the Best Technical Wrestler in PRW at this point in time, and arguably the best Technical Wrestler in the promotion's storied history.

It brings a huge smile to my face to be returning to Mexico with PRW for "Nueva Hora" and it makes me smirk a bit that my opponent at Blackout is currently doing a tour of Mexico much like I would have done earlier in my career. It's a career move that commands respect and I applaud him for taking it because of how difficult it is to perform and "get over" with the Mexican crowd. To take that risk requires stones. I can't fault him for that.

What Bane has not shown himself to have or shown himself to possess is what I have obtained by walking through the aforementioned fires.

Bane, an opponent I respect, is a fantastic wrestler. He is a champion of the highest caliber. What he is not, however, is a fighter.

You see, people don't understand what it's like sitting in the locker room for two to three hours before your match, taping your hands, all the while knowing that a guy down the hall is going to try to fucking murder you in front of a crowd of thousands.

The common man doesn't understand that because the common man never truly gets to experience it. They don't get to step into the dark-side and tightrope walk the nerves and the fear. For some people, that feeling rattles them to the bone. Others however, embrace it. A fighter revels in it.

Conquering that fear takes something different than I think most people have and I question whether John Bane truly has that in him.

There comes a time during Fight Night where you have to walk down that aisle, you have to stare your opponent in the eyes and reality, not just your opponent, is staring right back at you. Some people aren't bred for that. You can be as technically gifted, as strong or as fast as anybody to have ever done this, but if you don't have the spirit or the heart? You're done before you step into the ring.

It all starts in the locker room. The doubts, the fears, all that shit creeps into your mind before you even hear your music play. Mark Coleman used to call it the phenomenon, "The Worm of Doubt".

John Bane is a tremendous wrestler. He's as gifted a wrestler as I have ever fought. John Bane isn't a fighter. John Bane is going to have to PROVE to me and to the world that he is.

He's going to have to prove that he's a fighter because at some point during the night, that doubt is going to creep in. He's going to start to question his life choices. The fear is going to set in and then?

He's going to have to walk down that aisle.

He's going to walk down that aisle and feel the pressure of what's to come. He's going to hear the din of the crowd and feel the anxiety. Then he's going to get in the ring.

And he's going to have reality staring him right back in the face.
