Hardcore Holly’s music hits as he walks down to the ring holding his Hardcore Title. (major cheers from crowd)
He shows it off to the crowd, before getting a microphone.
Holly: Last week I became the Hardcore Champion. Now although that is a major feat for anyone, I more than anyone else in this industry deserve this title. Now many of you may not know that last year I had an infection in my arm. This was career-threatening. And less than 12 months later I am wearing ERS gold. I have learnt that the best way to live is to live life on the dangerous side. With that I have made the decision to defend my title every week to a new competitor until I lose the title. So without further ado, can someone from the back please come out here so I can whoop your ass.
