We make our way to a waterfront beach side in Gulf Springs, where we get a good look at Andrew Raynes, taking in the sun and getting himself prepared for tomorrow night, which will present Andrew to start a new path for himself. It was nothing new, relishing in the fact that he gets to open a show which can set a tone only Andrew is accustomed to.
He's comfortable, confident and feeling good about getting the ball rolling.
Andrew: It’s time to get the show on the road.
ANdrew smirks.
Andrew: It's typical, seeing all the new faces with diamonds in their eyes, looking for that moment that can propel the anthem on the road to championship gold. The few that have already made their intentions known waste no time in eyeing their prize, riding their experience and pedestal to push their way forward expecting it to be handed right to them.
I certainly am not cut from the same cloth. While my experience and resume can speak volumes, it's no fun when you ride the elevator straight to the top. They feel the entitlement of being on the upper half, brought straight up to the top right away because they can't stand the thought of building their way up. The idea that they need that opening win when they've been around for so long shows just how desperate they are to hold onto that relevance. Their careers fueled solely on the idea that gold is everything and they can't function without it.
I can assure you that I do not walk that same path. Being the opening contest is a position I thrive in, the ability to set the tone and send a message that everyone has their eyes on is something that you cannot buy. It’ll be the fundamental message I send to the entire FPW roster.
You're going to see me coming.
Andrew looks satisfied, delivering that message as a shot to anyone who listens. While he looks like the newcomer, most of it will go unnoticed, something Andrew banks on, he cocks a smirk and refocuses.
Andrew: Which puts the two people I am up against in an awkward position. Begging so hard to make a good impression against someone that simply enjoys violence. Getting the job done by whatever means necessary. IT’s the kind of stuff that you can't train for, the thing you are forced to learn first hand by getting in that ring and asking yourself if you can handle it once your fight or flight kicks in. What I bring to the ring they don't teach in a school or because you develop some random passion for this business. I am not the same breed as most of the people in this business, no school, no generational lineage, just a man who developed his niche and has evolved into fully exploiting it.
It’s not simply about winning for me anymore, walking down a path of my own Accord doesn't come with a win or loss price tag. I don't need to make an impression because I will let my actions do the talking regardless. You need to look yourself in the mirror prior to the show starting and ask yourself if you are really ready for this because I can assure you that when it comes to me, it’s always sink or swim and whether you can keep up or not.
I don't take my foot off the gas pedal, certainly not for a couple of kids begging for a break, you wont get that here.
Andrew chuckles.
Andrew: Come to the show, you won't have a choice, you step up in any way possible and show me what you got. Can you keep up or is your tenure in FPW going to be short lived. I can live with a loss, I can deal with what comes next regardless of the outcome. Can you say the same?
I guess we will find out.
Andrew winks to the camera and it shuts off.
