Harthan looks down at her, then back at the championship.
According to this championship belt, Mike Harthan is the best hardcore wrestler in the world. While you may or may not agree with that, one thing that no one can disagree with is that Mike Harthan leaves more than anyone else in the ring every single night. I've been in some of the most violent matches that this company has ever seen and I couldn't be prouder of the things that I've accomplished with everything from steel chairs to lead pipes to blowtorches. But you see tonight, the rules are a bit different. Tonight isn't about making your opponent scream for mercy as you mutilate his body with whatever instrument of chaos you happen to find lying around. Tonight is about being able to put another man's shoulders down on the canvas for three seconds so you can have your hand raised and be called the best wrestler in the world. This belt says that Mike Harthan is the best hardcore wrestler in the world. I gave almost everything I had to earn this title, but as of now it means nothing to me. I don't want to be called the best hardcore wrestler in the world, but rather the best wrestler in the world. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go and try to do that.
