Show me (details inside)

OOC: As a reminder, MG Cage, Brent Starr, Joker, Minion, and prevva can't challenge for this title match.

Kratos is already in the ring after a commercial break. A "Kratos" chant starts.

Kratos
Yeah thanks, but not the time. Got a little matter to attend to. Lets go down memory lane for a minute. When I first stepped back into Innovation Wrestling, I went unnoticed in most people's eyes. Just some random guy who's tall, and will be a nobody here. That is what the notion was right?

Then the tournament came up. A shot at the I:W World Class Champion as the end result. 8 people in total including myself had a chance to put the best performance forward. Show the world you are championship worthy, and can knock out Double S in the process. Did not ask for any special match types. Went with no advantages at all. What I do hear anyway? People are griping that I put the matches in my favor. I didn't really win the tournament nor the this championship.

He holds the championship up high.

Kratos
Makes me wonder what exactly are you looking for? What were you excepting me to do different? Whether I down play it or not, I am bigger than the average normal. There is no denying that, but I also can't cut off my legs to change that either. It is what it is. To top this all off, I put myself in a dangerous position last week to quiet some of the doubters who have that idea in their head. I set up a 6 man battle royal. MG Cage, Brent Starr, Joker, and Minion all came out. And at the last moment, some dude named prevva just showed up in the match at the last minute. Guess by the staff to make it a 6 man match up. For those who did not see that match, 5 of those guys went completely after me. Had to fend them all off of me. There were a few times where it looked like I was about to be knocked off for the night. But I stay true to my dedication, and hard work to not let that happen. MG Cage was the last man left in the match who worked very hard to put me away with the sleeper. Was almost out not one, but twice. Started seeing stars. Fought it off, and took put him down with the K bomb. One hell of a match if I say so. This still wasn't enough for some people. Sources have told me earlier tonight, Alexander Kyros formally known as Leon Graves said I used a advantage over in my matches? What matches were you watching? When did I call out any kind of special match up so I could win huh? Very hypocritical I think. Someone who's always asking for a special match to get things in his favor. Don't blame me when your match types back fire. Reason you lost against me is because you couldn't get the job done. No excuses. Simple as that.

But ya know what, I'm movin on. Kratos is got a title match tonight. Those 5 people I mentioned from the battle royal can't challenge for it. Got wait in line for the first person who comes out, and tells me why they deserve a challenge. If you come out here just to throw insults, and how much better you are than me, save it. Not asking for any bullshit. I'm asking for real competitors. Someone who knows where he's goin, and shows that he is grateful for this opportunity. Championship belts don't come around every day. Something people don't grasp. Its hard to become champion, and hard to hold on to it. I know from experience. Show me what you go alright?

[Antonio Mysterious]

A cloud of smoke appears and walking through it with warrior music arrives Antonio Mysterious. The crowd cheers as the mysterious one comes out. He looks at the big man in the ring holding the World Class Championship. He makes his way to the ring as he somersaults over the top rope as one of the announcers gets up to give him a mic.

You know big man I am not out here to spoil your party. I didn't come out here to do any of that. I have seen you from a far. From a land that you may not know about. I have watched you beat up on people week in and week out. Top competitors of this sport. I have seen you take out a legend and proclaim the title as it is yours. It is yours at this moment. But you have fought the same type of guys? They come out and blast insults and degrade you by degrading that Championship. And as I come from a land far away, the one thing we acknowledge is the respect that comes from the title. No matter who holds it and no matter for how long.

I have been trained for a long time and now it has come to me to make my appearance known. What I came for back many years ago is now in my grasp. I can't hide from the truth and neither shall you. We are destined to go on this ride. We are destined to fight one another. And the experts say I don't stand a chance because you are so much bigger than me. I am just a little man but with all heart. And you are a big man with more muscles. But the talent is there in me. All you got to do is be willing to put that title on the line against someone that is not afraid of getting hurt. The only fear I have is the fear that you will let that title be more than what you are. It should be a reflection of the man you are and you should not be a reflection of the title.

So why don't you give this little man a shot at the title? Unless you want to give the remaining 5 man a shot? The question is are you willing to do that? From one warrior looking at another it shouldn't be if you but when you. You want to show the world that you are the best World Class Champion ever? Greater than your predecessor? Are you the Apprentice or the Master? Tell me there is more to you than trying to live up to a legend? Tell me there is more than trying to please DangerBreed. Is the woman in the middle of two great men or is there one great man willing to show the world that he is no longer the shadow but the man? Many questions that can cloud one's heart but there is a way to answer these. It may take you time to be your own man but at least you are willing, aren't you?

Tonight lets see the real Kratos and give these fans what they want to see. Lets put it all on the line for we know the truth and we realize our fate but can we distinguish between the two? That is the question I am asking you tonight!

Antonio Mysterious looks at Kratos as he has been watching and analyzing the madness that lurks in this man and the confusion that seems to be in this place.

[kratos]

So refreshing not by see more children come out here. Finally an adult. He nods in agreement.

Kratos
I appreciate that. I was beginning to think that I:W was just full of kiddies playing around in a adult wrestling company. And the little fookers couldn't stand the fact that a champion could be so mature. No need to be throwing fits, and calling people names because of it. That reason alone is why they will stay right where they are. Not a champion of any kind, and no one will ever take them seriously.

Antonio. I have been around the world. Enjoying everything this world has to offer. My girl is half Japanese, half Irish. So I'm up there a few times a here to see her folks, and the sites of the place. Hope that answers your question. Not all Japanese are honorable or at least respectful enough to be mature. All I ask, don't degrade yourself to try to degrade me. Its no pay off because I'll just make you look small. I can bury anyone who gives me a reason to. Everyone saw MG crumble under the pressure he left quickly as hell once I give him a little bit of mic time. Look at Cyrus Van Heel. I:W's resident jobber. Never will get out of the starting blocks because he doesn't have a mind for this business. Before you become "great", gotta put in the work first. No one ever starts out great. Hell I'm not even "great" yet. I've become decent enough at my craft. Reason I'm champ today.

Its about time this title gets defended for the first time. I know you are hungry for it. That's what I want because I'm just as hungry to keep it. So may the best man win.

He smiles, and puts his hand out for a handshake

[Antonio Mysterious]

Mysterious knew this man had a lot of heart and desire. He needed to see it in his eyes and know this is gonna be a hard fought battle.

He reaches his hand out to shake Kratos'. He nods in approval. Not many more words need to be spoken as both men wanted to give each other the respect they deserve as Antonio being from the Far East knew where this man's place was.

So being married to someone that is from the same place as I am you know her heart and she definitely knows yours. Just like any place you have the good with the bad. Not all Japanese are worthy of that title. Some can be as cold blooded as any other person around the world. I know my short time back in I:W I had to prove to people that I belonged. The mistake was that someone like Winters could not understand and his ignorance cost him more than a match. It put him on the block for months.

There are guys that look at you Kratos and don't remember your past. I was there and I do remember. I do remember the great things you have accomplished before ending the streak of a great legend warrior. The pressure on you is tremendous and even though you say you are not great well you got the title and that means you had to do something great to achieve it. For the honor of being able to wrestle in a major organization should prove people that you belong no matter the win/loss record.

Tonight I know you will give me your best as I will give you mine. No regrets on if I win or lose. I know I have come here to see if I belong and by beating you or losing to you won't change anything. All it will show me is what I need to do to improve. Tonight we walk in as two warriors wanting the same thing. One will walk out with the title and the other will just walk out. One hand will be lifted while the other will have his head in defeat. Tonight Kratos it will be a match of our lives. I respect you and what you have done. More than probably most in this company. With that I will give you total respect.

Mysterious bows and stays bowed down for about 10 seconds. This was a sign of total respect as he lifts back up as he looks up at the bigger Kratos. He knew that this was the biggest test of his life and just wanted to come out in one piece.
