He stands tall and behind him skies of blue.
The long, black, overcoat covers his whole body while the long black hair covers his face. He is looking down in, the direction of Mother Earth, with his hands deep in his coat pockets. The cigarette hanging on the left corner of his mouth emits a feeble light, while he takes drags out of it.

“I started this trip a long time ago…
…I was but a child. Nothing more. But my vision was clear, to become the best there is, the best possible fighter and wrestler of my generation. You can't possibly assume you are going to be the best of all time. Not everyone is Mohammad Ali, after all, but you can manage to be and become the best of your time. You can fight with Honor, Dignity, and Passion and give it all in the squared circle.
The adrenaline rush and the cheering of the fans are valuable assets and enough of a reward for everyone who admires and loves wrestling. At least for those of us who find pleasure and passion in the effort we put in and in the love of the battle. Because we are not alone, we are not the sole kind of fighters in the arena.
Some fight solely because of the pleasure they find when they hurt and hear bones crush. But we are not that kind of fighter, are we now Kalmin? No, we are not. We two, the two of us, are forged from the same sort of steel; we are men of Honor and Dignity and it is that sort of honor and dignity that drives us forward.
We all are made of flesh and bones, but some sort of people could not be any different from the others. There is another one in this match, Goth!”
Eron looks forward and crosses his arms on his chest.
“Goth, you are forged and tempered from another sort of steel. You find pleasure in pain and extreme actions. You are Hardcore and the definition of it. I would dare to say you are great at what you do, but? I have seen it all, even the most extreme of Fights. I cannot say I am the king of extreme, as you might claim to be, yet I can hold my ground when it comes to difficult fights. I started this journey on the streets after all, and that is where I fought my first fights.
I started this voyage fighting against Hunger and Cold
Not only fighting against human opponents
No, the most arduous fights were the ones I fought with myself.”
He shakes his head, remaining in silence for a few moments, and then resuming his speech. His tone? A bit more passionate
“Those were the fights that strengthened me.
The fights made me appreciate even more the state I am in now. Whenever I feel rich and healthy, whenever I am in my comfortable five-star hotel room, I reminisce about the moments when I had nothing to eat and no friends. Because of those moments? The moments in which you have nothing but your heart and your Dreams, those moments make you who you are. Some become egoists and some altruists precisely because of those moments.
I?
I have become who I am…
… A World Champion and a Hall of Famer.
And this trip? This Journey? This Voyage? It will end where it started!
With my dreams and my determined wish to become the best. And there will be no Kalmin Watts, No Psychotic Goth, No Wesley Crane, No Donzig, No Spike Kane no one in this company or in the whole world who can stand there and claim they are mighty enough to conquer my spirit, my iron will and my resolution. No one of you is mighty or strong enough to break my Dreams in Half!”
Silence
Headshake
Smile.
“Kalmin, you are good, no…
…You are almost great.
But you are still green behind the ears, and although your achievements are magnificent when one considers the short time you have been in this business, you still have a long way to go. The long way home will be an arduous one, and even if you defeat me one of these days, that day will not be tomorrow. Do not get me wrong, I am well aware of the fact that you are good enough to win this fight
But
Defeating me?
That, Kid, won't happen very soon if ever at all. I hope you understand what I mean, I hope you understand what this longwinded speech was all about. It is not a speech about self-proclamation of superiority, no, it was a monologue about resolution and dreams. So, rookie, whatever it happens in this fight. Whatever comes around, do not give up on your Hopes and Dreams, because those? Those are the things that make a man…
…Great!”
He stops and then
Smiles again.
“Goth, see you in the ring.
You have been around long enough, this speech was for you too, alas to a lesser content because you know who you are and the steel is tempered by now. You and I see eye to eye when it comes to certain things and in lesser content when it comes to others.
But we both know….
…Who the Better Survivor is!”
