I came out of the Slaughterhouse Gym. My black duster coat with skull buttons sways as I walk with my black wrestling boots to the Rolls-Royce sitting in The Slaughterhouse Gym's parking lot. My black and white face paint is immaculate, I have gotten good with practice. I open the back door to the Rolls-Royce and get in, I do not speak a word to my former ECWF tag team partner acting as my driver, I call him ‘Poseidon’ but have not bothered to learn his real name. Ever since I dropped my adoptive father Lee Matthews on his head with a DreamDT in front of Caste Dream, Poseidon has become my closest friend and confidante.
"There are lines on the roads we drive down to keep us on the road and not in the grass or dirt."
"There are dotted lines down the middle of the road to keep us in our lane."
"There are lines that separate merging and exiting traffic."
"There are lines going into a parking garage or parking lot to keep us in our space."
Poseidon presses on the gas pedal as we drive off.
"Now it has been some time since you last saw me and I've had time to reflect on the last match I was a part of. The co-main event of Rebirth II was not quite as I expected but such is life in Revolution1 Wrestling."
"Part of what we do in this business is strive to be better, to be more."
"I've gone well beyond what I thought was possible. I never expected to be Revolution1 World Champion."
"But each time that I fell, I went to the back of the line and I climbed my way back up to become better. To become more."
"Sorry I let everyone down. Was hoping I’d get to hold that Revolution1 Heavyweight Championship up in front of the fans. Guess that dream is put on hold a little longer."
"Now I’m entering the dual branded Remembrance Battle Royal in the city that my son Ian Dream was born in, New York City."
"I'm leaving New York City as King of New York, 'King of Darkness' Daniel Dream, the number one contender to the Legacy Heavyweight Championship. I want you, Khaos, to leave knowing, remembering, that you are nothing but a mere man—an ordinary man, one whose ability is limited to his being. And run—far from my ring."
"Thad Duke picked up my son, he’s having a successful career while I’ve been struggling to build any momentum in my own career."
"I want my revenge tonight!"
"I know I really, badly need a win."
"I'm an inspirational story, my determination to turn a truly awful situation around and be a one time Revolution1 World Champion is a testament to my character."
"I will not hold back, I am determined to turn that one into a two as I aim to achieve my own goals."
"Slit your throat? Break every bone within your body and collapse your lungs?"
"You’re not worth it."
"Khaos, I will not maim your career like I did to Madman."
"To lay my hands upon you in such a manner would only serve to taint the years of work that I put in to get where I am now."
"Did you not see me leave all of those opponents bleeding, battered, and decimated in locker rooms across the world?"
"I want you to reevaluate if this is the path you want to take with me."
"At the end of the day, the downfall I faced before me, doesn't exist. Why? Because I follow the path of redemption that I set for myself. I'm a completely different guy."
"I’m stable, I have a loving relationship."
"Why should I go out there and risk death, serious injury, live in pain and sorrow knowing that every time I lace up these boots it might be my last?"
"I'm not going to slit your throat, Khaos. I'm not going to kill you, I'm not going to maim you, I'm not going to leave you beaten, battered, nor decimated."
"I'm not going to maim you, I'm going to humiliate you. I will create a moment at your expense that will live forever."
The Rolls-Royce enters a pitch black tunnel.
"You've pushed me into a place that I don't like to go, because it's so hard to get out!"
"And to tell you the truth, I like it."
"I don't just have to beat you, I have to break you."
"I have to humble you!"
"I’m not going to risk death, serious injury, nor I’m going to live in pain and sorrow."
The Rolls-Royce exits the pitch black tunnel as it stays to the left side of the road.
"I'm going to stay on my side of the road, keep in my line. I'm going to eliminate Sara Cross, Amber Payne, Cerise, Sora Weaver, Lilianna Rose, Solace Tatum, Matt Knox, Kai Morgan, Sylk Michaels, Jalen Prince, Toni Beasly, Azurine Vebbins, Jessie Lee, Aphrodite IX, Lattimore, Jason Ryan, Maggie Lockheart, Mark Kelly, St. Peters, ‘Not’ Richard Dweck, Riveria, The Overbaker, Strange, and whoever else is coming into traffic."
"I've cultivated that drive for well over a decade now. Ever since I was a teen, ever since I took my first Slaughterhouse Gym classes in Atlanta. And my will to succeed only grew stronger in New York City."
"Every locker room, every victory gained, every lesson I took from every new teacher only made me further and further into a man meant for nothing else but this."
"Sharing rings and locker rooms with the best of the best, fight me like an animal. Give me hell."
"You’ve done a lot of talking. Far more than anyone would like to hear, so let me tell you this here and now. I’m not a revolving door. In case it wasn't apparent yet, I’m here to stay. And I’m not going anywhere, Khaos. I'm going to run up the highest mountain I can."
"You're just happy to hold onto that championship. Championship or not, I will show up and perform to the highest ability I can because that's what these people want to see. I'm walking in without a championship, I'm walking out as the number one contender. If I don't walk out number one contender, if all these words are for nothing, then maybe I don't deserve to hang with the best."
"I've found myself working for the Devil and now I'm seeing an opportunity...I will not squander it."
"I'm coming to Remembrance II ready to take this opportunity and show the world that you should never underestimate The King of Darkness!"
"I'm going to make the most out of this opportunity…Can any one of you say the same and actually back it up?"
"Each one thinks they are destined to become the next great World Champion. Each one is wrong, because each one is up against me."
"I’ve been away, but make no mistake. I’m still the most dominant force this business has to offer. I’m still the biggest threat to any man unfortunate enough to hold a World or Heavyweight Championship."
"You hear that, Carter?"
"You have something I want. I want that seat you’re taking up on top of the mountain."
"There’s not a man or woman on this roster whose desire, whose will exceeds that of my own."
"It comes from harnessing the beast within, the one that lies dormant inside every man, the one that awakens when we find ourselves trapped in the blackest pit imaginable."
"So much rides on this moment. So much more than anyone can truly understand. I have spent years...years...preparing myself for the next moments of my life...for the opportunity that now stands before me. I came to Revolution1 Wrestling to make a difference...to raise a championship above my head. And now...the opportunity sits before me."
"I am a monster. I live and I breathe…and one day I will die. I will die as a monster."
"If I don't win this match...then everything I worked for is a lie. I...I am a lie. And if I am a lie..."
"I will walk into that arena the son of a bastard son and walk out Revolution1 Wrestling's number one contender."
"I am not the monster that Madman faced. I am a new monster. Khaos can go ahead and yell to the top of the mountain. Daniel Dream is still here. I have ended careers and continue to move forward. People like Khaos and The MadClan...they come...and then they leave."
The Rolls-Royce arrives at Madison Square Garden. Daniel turns off the camera as he leaves the Rolls-Royce.
