Armand von Krauss: Come back when you've recovered and we will have a true fight.
Armand squeezes and twists his grip and a loud crunch is heard even by the microphones at ringside. Eron Hunter lets out a scream of pain and begins to tap right away.

Doctor: It´s not as bad as it first looked, but you´ll have to be careful from now on.
Eron looks down, towards the concrete, takes a deep breath crosses his arms on his chest, and then stares the doc in the eyes.
Eron: I know what you want to say, I know, but I am not ready to quit wrestling, not now, I am only twenty-eight and I have at least other ten good years in the business. It is not the first time I suffer an injury and it will not be the last, I won't let this stop me.
Doctor: Mr. Hunter, I understand the way you feel. I myself am a fan of wrestling and a fan of yours. I know the way a man can feel when he loves what he does for a living. I love my job and I am sure you do so with yours. What I want to say is this: If you plan on going on with what you do, you will have to reinvent the way you do things in the squared circle. That´s all I can say about the matter.

I am doing things in a way that can not continue, no more. I live and breathe wrestling, and I fight with passion when I am in the ring. But if I want to go on I will have to reinvent the way I approach my adversaries and the way I fight. If it can not be a revolution, as it doesn't need to be, it will have to be an evolution of the way I fight.
Can I manage to do so?
Will I be able to be as good of a fighter as I am now if I evolve and move on?
The world is a dangerous place, and if you are unable to resist and fight you will go down no matter how good of an intention you have in attempting whatever you are attempting to do. This planet of ours, this mother earth is filled with dangerous people. People like Armand Von Krauss. People who deliberately hurt others and find pleasure in doing so.
I vowed to fight and become the greatest wrestler ever in my life, or at least attempt it. I traveled the world and saw things and lived a life of emotions and joy, but also of despair and pain. I came to know persons, evil ones, as I came to know wonderfully positive ones too and I understood that my goal in life was not only to be a wrestler but also to spread hope and positivity among those who knew me.
I also promised I would fight evilness as much as I could.
I have always believed that hope should forever exist, because no matter the odds a man can manage to find good and positive things in life as one can manage to meet great and wonderful people that love and respect him.
My hope is implacable, or at least I would love to think so.
But then I meet people like Armand Von Krauss and Keith Williams and I start struggling with keeping my positivity up...

The night is young
The stars shine in the endless ocean above us. They enlighten the path of the weary traveler and give him hope. And the traveler continues in his endless journey toward his dreams. No matter the adversities, he keeps going on.
Eron Hunter is sitting in an armchair in the veranda of the Hunter villa, while looking at the star ocean above him, lost in thoughts. After some instants he shakes his head, letting out a prolonged sigh, and looks at his left side.
"No matter how far away, I have always felt your love, Mother.
No matter the adversities and the evilness standing in front of me, I have always had hope because I have had the luck to have parents like you two. You never judged me and accepted me and my vagabondage. You two loved me like only a parent can do and that was one of the reasons I have grown up to be an optimist of a man."
She looks him in the eyes and smiles, shakes her head while placing a hand on her sons one and begins speaking
"And now? Do you want to tell me that you have started doubting the positiveness of humankind? Merely because you have met evil in your journey? Evil is part of the whole, dear son, it is there and will always be just like love and empathy are part of your heart.
Believe in the light, Eron
The light in your heart and that of those you love and who love you back
...And it will guide your way."
The night is young
Looking in his mother's eyes he finds what he had lost for an instant. But not for long, because no matter how fickle a light might be, it is always enough to pierce the Heart of Darkness.

A fight against some of the best
A fight to be the best, again.
A fight against a dozen others, and I already have my target. It is you, El Rey. The last time we met you managed to steal away a victory from me. Some say it was well deserved, others say not. In the end what matters is the result, not the effort.
At least that is what some believe
Not me.
I always believed that the experience gained from every fight is what counts the most. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger and mightier. It makes a true warrior out of you. A great fighter is only as good as his best fight.
You fought against me and you emerged victorious.
It means you are at least as good as yours truly.
So, if I beat you, what does that make out of me? It makes me the best. No matter who gets the Junior Heavyweight Belt in the end, if I manage to defeat you, that makes us even. I always believed you were a narcissus, unable to see beyond yourself, but the fact that you recognize our last fight as a worthy one, makes me think that there, maybe just maybe, there´s still some hope left for you.
I am coming to fight you, El Rey
And there is no Triple Time X*Crown champion
and
No Final Boss
Who can stand in the way and stop me from dropping you down on your head and beating you to teach you a lesson.
This fight is a difficult one. One of the most difficult ones a man can manage to be in, but I have had my share of hardships and apparent impossible missions in my young life. And I have emerged victorious from most of my challenges. What does that mean? It means I have enough experience to stand there and laugh in the face of adversity.
I know there are people in this fight who believe they are too good for us mere mortals.
I know some in this fight pat themselves on the shoulder and think they are above us others.
Some go as far as to probably think they are superior, better, and unreachable. Some of them think they will have an easy fight in this clash of egos.
So? My job here, besides defeating El Rey?
Bring these people back to planet Earth. Tell them that they should not forget where they have been before becoming "Superior". A lesson in humility from a humble former World Champion and former Junior Heavyweight Champion.
Never forget the people you met on your ascension, because you will meet them all again in your irremediable fall on the ground. It is not a matter of "If", it is just a matter of "When". Everyone falls sooner or later. What makes a formidable fighter out of a man, is the way he manages to stand up after each fall.
See you in the squared circle and may the Gods of War bless your fighting spirit.
