To every person who has ever spent money on a ticket to see me in the cinema.
To those who felt the need to buy the same movie on DVD.
Heck even those who downloaded it illegally off the internet.
To every citizen of Keystone City.
To the WZCW universe.
Greetings to you all, I feel it is at a time like this that I addressed each and everyone of you, you the guys who have made me who I am. I can remember the first time I ever showed up for an audition the feeling of nerves, excitement and just a sheer rush of emotions. There he was the greatest actor of all time: Pal Chapino. I remember doing my piece and he looked at me and said, you'll do great kid. It wasn't my dream to be an actor, my hero were the guys like Bulk Togan and Edd BiDiase, that was my dream, but I was far from built for that.
Four years and as many Oscars later I made the most controversial move I have ever done, I gave up my acting career to become a wrestler. I was loathed by the industry, the film guys thought I turned their back on them so they wanted nothing to do with me, I was mocked in the TV show North Park, Jeno couldn't stop mocking me. The wrestlers despised me, they saw me as weak, and as such I shouldn't even be there. Why should I when they had worked their whole lives to get there and I just rocked up? But I started from the bottom, I had tag team after tag team partner refuse to show up. Then my opportunity arose...Hasheem.
For those of you who don't know who Mohammed Hasheem is, throw a terrorist stereotype out there and he lived it as an ideal. He claimed to be from some middle Eastern country, but their was a huge rumour going round that he was actually a Jew from New York City, I mean come on how deluded can you get? You know the story after that: Titus betrayed his former best mate Everest and then in turn was screwed over by the Dynasty. I vowed revenge.
Who was I? I didn't know, I would see the face twice a day as I got out of the shower in the full mirror, a weird place to put one, but it reminded me of my call. Then I would get ready, pull on that mask and save the day. Keystone was holding out for a hero, they got one. I don't need to mention about the crime rate that dropped to the lowest level ever, I remember the point I realised who I was. I was watching a news report, and there was Titus on TV, me there looking at me clear as day. Then it came back, everything like a lightening bolt. Then I remembered those words I spoke.
Revenge was easy, Bateman realised my potential, I destroyed Dynasty, won the Elite X, was unmasked, shown to be Titus, won the Lethal Lottery, defeated my old rival and won the World championship and then it was unified. Then I lost my lustre, my charm, my bounce. I lost to Blade, Ty and then I lost my world championship belt, the belt that had been my dream to hold since I was yay high. I lost it. Then I lost myself.
There are two points in my life I have ever been booed. One was when I turned on Everest which I still hold is the biggest mistake of my life. The other was last week. There's a time when the realisation hits that you've gone so far another way and you snap back into it. That was then, I remember someone said that in this business you can't let real life affect how you are, but when your mother is to have surgery and she's given a significant chance of not making it through you worry. Things are fine now though, it was just a hard few months for me. It's the way it goes as Charlie Brown once said.
So then there's the point when you say what now? Obviously it's taken that I should apologise, first to management for my attitude for the past few months, and to the millions AND MILLIONS of Titus fans dotted around the world. Always wanted to do that, I loved the Brock! But from the bottom of my heart, I'm sorry. Sorry for the way I've been the past few months, sorry for the lack of effort put in, the reactions when I've lost. I'm sorry. I hope you guys will accept my apology, that would be a great thing to come out of that curtain at Ascension as my music hits and to hear the crowd chant my name once again. It's something I can never ever take for granted.
So to each and everyone of you I....Oh wait, yeah I forgot two apologies. Better get them in, firstly I would like to apologise to Ty Burna. We all know he'll be there this week, he's always had gold in his eyes and the jealousy that his best friend in the company has the gold just irks him even more. He'll make his way to the ring, he'll put on the fight of his life, and get his ass handed to him by myself. So Tyrone, Tyson, whatever your name is...I apologise for dashing your hopes and dreams.
And to Vengeance, you naughty naughty man! I apologise to you, because come Unscripted the only belt you will have is the one that keeps your pants up! That belt will be mine, and your sneaky sneaky tactics will have failed, again. Back to square one, back to Lars, back to losing for you my old foe!
So to every single one of you, thanks for your support. I love you all.
Yours:
Four time Oscar winner, former WZCW champion, former Elite X champion, defender of Keystone and your friend
Titus Avison
