The world has come to learn only one thing matters in the world of professional wrestling: my dynasty.
Thirteen years, I have been forging my legacy against everything placed against my path to become immortal and eternal in this industry. Many had decided to cast doubt on this, they have decided to mock me at any given moment to make sure they are held at a higher standard than me to blind them from the truth because of their vanity, and leave themselves to underestimate the legend standing before them. Not you, Liz Karlson. You are of a different breed and this has been made obvious from the sheer will and determination you have to make sure you ascend to the heights of a goddess in this industry, but you must face God himself to be able to achieve this feat. A legend who has traveled throughout the entire wrestling landscape to make his myth fabled among the sheep as you look to me as a man you aspire to duplicate in his feats, you lend yourself to an admirer. You see what you adore and you don’t have the fear of God struck within your soul, but you show piety towards him with your respect. You are supplicant in the way Baptists are to their own manufactured God. You do not fear the man whose wrath has been storied throughout the ages where the victims were left in a state which could only be described as grotesque. You do not tremble at the sight of a man who has conquered every single world of wrestling he has decided to step his foot into to place his boot upon its neck. No, you hold respect and reverence for a man of such talents and this is something I can respect too for men and women of this industry, they fail to have the grit and respect you display. Forgive me for the lack of knowledge of your rise to prominence as an empire of the conquered foes who have attempted to prevent me from reaching championship glory as you intend to do at Inception, but I can already tell you have been emboldened because of the rising star you have become in this industry. Bold enough to challenge a man who could be considered God in the comparison of status between us, but that’s what I enjoy to see from my opponents. Everyone I have seen before wants to attack character and talent, attempt to undermine me and my accomplishments to be able to reveal unto the world their manufactured superiority over me, but that’s because they cannot allow their vanity to let them see the truth of what stands before them. I’m not just the person who has been chosen out of the litter of talent to be the person to prop you up to be the first APEX World Heavyweight Champion, I’m not someone who has been struggling for the opportunity to put their foot into the door to make themselves known, I’m the pinnacle of this industry and the man people around the world just like you aspire to be and hope to defeat when the time comes. Lo and behold you are provided the opportunity to have this moment be presented to you with APEX. You are given the chance to stand in the ring with one of the best to ever lace a pair of boots in this business and I know how bad you want this because I’ve been in the very same place you’ve been. You’ve scratched and clawed your way to a point where people will actually start to look at you with some modicum of respect attached to your name, they will see you as a person who has achieved some ounce of glory where they will nod to you in recognition when standing across the ring from you, and you believe when you stand in the ring with a person like me you have everything on your side to make sure you’ve walked out of the match with pride at the conquest you were able to achieve in this match. It may have been a decade ago when I was in your shoes, but I can still remember those moments as if they were yesterday and even then, we still share more to current day with our recent accolade of becoming so close to tasting the sweet riches of the marquee we crave to have in our possession no matter if we have been in the business for three years or thirty. Even then, that victory will hold nothing in comparison to the potential victory and crowning achievement to be made here in APEX. You could win many battle royals, win a world championship later in your career when you have gained the wisdom needed to overcome those who stand in your path, but to be the first-ever world champion of a promotion to create the foundation this business will be built upon as such? These are usually once-in-a-lifetime moments to be seized and captured by any means necessary and if you haven’t been paying attention to my own career within the past couple of days, you would know exactly what I’m capable of when utilizing the nefarious means I will use, if needed. I don’t have to sit here and want to deliver a five-star classic with you, Liz. As much as everyone around me would love to be able to put that display on with you, you should be prepared for this match to turn sour the moment I need to change the tone and pace of this match. You should be prepared to break limits and rules you have placed upon yourself you don’t think you would have to break in order to achieve victory because the moment you hold back, the moment you let your morality and honor prevent you from taking the killshot to make the APEX World Heavyweight Championship yours to create a historic moment for your career to be made eternal, that’s where I’ll be there to shatter those dreams you had to make sure my dynasty thrives upon your defeat.
For you may be on the rise and hope to ascend to the state of goddess here in APEX, but I’m the one who will cast divine wrath upon your body to show you the folly of vanity to believe you could upset God.
I’m here in APEX for only one thing and that’s to be the first-ever APEX World Heavyweight Champion, make it another conquest in the kingdom of my dynasty to allow my legacy to remain immortal, and I don’t intend to let you transform me into a martyr to your ascension. I’ve tapped into a side of me that many people haven’t been able to experience and a part of me that has slumbered for years, but I’ve come to terms with this darkness inside of me and intend to make it a tool of destruction against the enemies of my dynasty. I’ve tried to build a foundation within a company reliant on the prestige as a meritocracy for those who would walk into other businesses, but that has fallen and become left in ruin to the point where the foundation has been forgotten. APEX will not fall as the rest have because the moment I walk into combat with you at Inception, it will be a namesake for what will arise through your destruction at my hand, Liz Karlson. It will be the inception of a new conquest to my dynasty, where I will stand above all to remain a cornerstone of the industry I strapped upon my back to carry to the heights it has gone to even bring forth this company into existence. The inception of a new chapter of my dynasty will be made and Liz, you will not be the one to prevent my conquest here. I am more than prepared to take on this trial by combat we will be placed into for the right to be known as the first-ever APEX World Heavyweight Champion. This will not be the first time I have been placed into this scenario and this time, I don’t intend to fail as I have in the past with the wisdom and depravity I have gained throughout the years. I will be the one to claim victory in this match because I know I’ll exceed the limitations placed upon me morally and physically to achieve it. I may be at a place in my career where I don’t need to try as much to be able to be victorious in matches against certain talent. I may be at a point in this path I have taken in life to where I don’t have to scratch and claw my way to the top of the mountain, but you are correct to say that I choose not to allow myself to become complacent and lethargic in my approach to this business. I don’t care how important this match is to you, I don’t hold sympathy for you in what this victory and becoming the first-ever champion could do for you or your career, the only thing I care about is the glory of claiming this triumph for my dynasty. I only want the achievement to secure my legacy in the status of immortality and for it to be synonymous with everything APEX stands for because when you want the apex of the business, you should look no further than Jacob Senn. I plan to use this massive opportunity for the APEX World Heavyweight Championship as an opportunity to provide you the lesson I taught to many others before who have stood in the path of me achieving championship glory. I’ll use the sadistic thoughts within my mind to make sure to break you down, limb by limb, by providing a torturous experience no man or woman could duplicate against you. Your arms? They will be snapped and twisted in ways you would have never believed they could have been able to have been. Your legs? They will be wrapped into a pretzel of anguish where your body will be pleading for a release, but your vanity and perseverance will prevent you from quitting until your body cannot even more. Every part of you will be tested and pushed to your limits in ways no other opponent you’ve come across has put you through. If you hope to even stand a chance against me in this match, you’ll need to exceed those limits and push past them. When your body says quit, the mind and spirit controls it after it has been broken. I want you to show me you can do that because the moment you do, I’ll break that spirit and shatter it without question. Who knows? You might even inflict wounds upon me that will become scars upon my flesh to serve as a reminder for this war we shall be a part of on the path of wrestling history. You could surprise me with your talent and give me a fight many other legends couldn’t, but none of it will be enough because I’m on a different status than you are. Liz, you’re a great wrestler. You’re a top talent that this company is glad to have signed. I am proud to be in the ring with at Inception and if this was any other match, I might have been willing to give you a five-star classic to remember, but this is historic and I won’t miss out. The difference and why you’ll fail at Inception is that you’re not the ace. You haven’t reached the rank of a God and don’t have what it takes to pull an upset against me when you have to.
For you may want this to be your proper introduction to Liz Karlson, but the truth is this will be an apt reminder of my dynasty as an immortal legacy here.
