"It's one of those matches I'm in since I returned from figuring out how I truly feel about being cheered. I know I've been a fan favourite for quite a while, but it's still a little intimidating for me because it's just I've never had support in my life. However, I know I got to get ahead on this. I don't know what you do to win this match, to be honest, because it just says to climb up chains or ladders, something I frankly will struggle with because of my size. So already, that will be a significant sticky spot for a giant monster like myself. I'm not a monster outside of the ring anymore, just another change altogether, but I certainly am in the ring.
But the point is there needs to be some basic knowledge of what you do to win. All I know is about the vacant title. Granted, I've done nothing recently to give that, but I'm willing to go out there and do everything it takes to win. I'm not going to run down some names saying this and that person because that, quite frankly, is boring, and I don't have much information to go by. The only words I know are Jason Ryan and Mason. I don't know the rest of you, but it means I'm looking forward to it. I might be a little out of touch, but I know I have to say something to stand a chance of winning this match.
I know who I'm facing, but I like to think in this situation, it's not how many opponents you can remember what they have done recently and what you think of them. It's whether you can overcome the odds against you. There is no favourite wrestler in these matches. I'm willing to do everything I can to win because I need to as well as I want to. You can say all the crap to me, but I won't because I'm doing what's best for me. Besides, should a guy who's a people person talk so much crap to my opponents? No, I shouldn't unless I have to, and that's another thing that's been a struggle point for me.
But I also know, at the same time, I've got to overcome my fears of social interaction, which I'm still in the slow process of doing, but I have interacted with fans, and I didn't feel I knew what I was doing. I didn't know what to say or how to thank them for their support of me, even when I was a terrible person. The fact is I might brutalise all of you in this match, but it doesn't mean I will go and follow through to continue the damage. I have to find some way to win without losing who I truly am. I won't go to lengths to make people's careers end in wrestling unless I have to in certain circumstances.
You can guarantee that this whole me losing thing is a stage of growth and process of changing that I'm struggling with. But I will go out there and have to accept the cheers I'm getting from the fans, and I became someone that appreciates wrestling in Level Up a lot more. I've had a rocky road, but this match will change everything for me. Because I know the risks I have to take, even if I will struggle to climb the ladder and get some heart from a Dracula statue which seems stupid to me, but that's how matches go, and I'm accepting it and going for the title shot. Because I need to win this match, as Jason Ryan and Mason know, I will do everything it takes to win, and it doesn't matter who you are; I'm not allowing you to take this opportunity away from me. I will somehow find a way to win the match with the stupid heart and get a title match. That's all I will say because all of you are prepared to be Raabinated by The Green Disease German Monster."
