It seems a certain Shawn Steele wants to grow around throwing the word "coward" around. Tell me, Shawn, you are the man who decided to wage "war" on the Connection. In war, you fight alongside your brothers. It is not my fault that I choose to fight alongside my brothers while you choose to foolishly fight alone. You can call me any name in the book, but the fact is you chose your destiny in this war, not me.

As for "the day I find myself across the ring from you one on one"? I do not fear that day! I do not fear you, Shawn! NO ONE around here fears you! You tell me you are going to make me experience unimaginable amounts of pain? The most painful thing is to sit here and watch you bitch and moan about getting your ass kicked in a war that you started! And trust me, the day WILL come, when it will be just me and you, and I will PERSONALLY end your hopeless little attempt at stopping me or my brothers from accomplishing what is meant to be...

It is kinda sad really. When we first met, I saw you as a smart man, a man that could have amounted to something around here. Yet you are blinded by your pathetic personal vendettas? You say you don't care about a possible shot at the crown? Then why waste the XWFs time? Why waste every single person who wants a shot's time? You say you want to join it, just to make sure I or someone in the Connection doesn't win it?

Steele, you are a fucking fool. The Connection may not win this particular battle, but then again, there will be MANY more capable people in this match that could do something as simple as throwing a man over the top rope without having assistance like you.

The fact is Shawn Steele, it will NOT be you that wins this battle, nor wins this war. So be a fool. Waste the time trying to show the XWF that you are nothing more than an pathetic excuse for a muscleheaded martyr that will indeed be destroyed by The Connection.

I WILL be looking toward the ultimate prize in this battle and that is a shot at the crown, because the crown is an ultimate goal toward my personal mission and The Connections mission to change things...as for you? This war will be over soon enough, Shawn, and it will be you that will experience true pain...
