The scene opens up and we are focused on Faloan Reid. He has the same smile on his face that he has had for a month. We get closer to him and the Redefine Pro TV Title is around his waist. The nameplate shines as the light from the ceiling hits off of it.
Well lads and lasses I ‘ave another title defense coming as I step in the ring in Blackpool.
He lets that sink in as he starts to walk around the room.
I can see that this match is going ta be one where I will have ta be on top of my game as I ‘ave to face Mars Tetch. I ‘ave seen him wrestle and let me tell ya, he will be a challenge.
He nods his head as he sighs.
I welcome it though, Mars and I will ‘ave a great match because he and I are the same person. We bring it right to the front and we fight we ‘it ‘ard and we take no prisoners. This match I already can see that it won’t be for the faint of ‘eart and that is the way I like it.
I want to be ‘it ‘ard. I want to ‘it ‘ard back and I will. But, also I ‘ave something that I am fighting for and that is the title that is around my waist right now. I don’t want ta give this title up right now. I want to keep ‘olding it. Keep ‘aving people step up against me and try ta beat me. I ‘ave been on top of my game, but so ‘asn’t Mars. Like I ‘ave said I ‘ave seen him in this Redefine Pro ring and he is damn good.
He stops walking around the room and sits down on a chair and looks deep into the camera.
I say it all the time that I want my opponents ta bring the best they ‘ave because that is the way I like ta fight. I don’t want ta simply walk into that ring and ‘ave an easy time of it. I want to be challenged and I was challenged in my last match against Ryan Kidd, but I can see Mars giving me that and a lot more. He wants to prove to everyone that he isn’t just a flash in the pan and that is a scary thought. Ya see, he will keep on fighting he will try and beat me and prove that he is good. That he can win a title pretty quickly ‘are in Redefine Pro. I ‘ave to stand up and keep what I worked my arse off for, and also I ‘ave to fight because I ‘ear about a new challenger for the winner of this match, and I want to beat him as well.
This is my title, and I will ‘ave to be killed for someone to take it from me.

//[REDEFINEBlackpool 4.01]\\ //[TV Title Match vs -Faolan Reid-]\\ //[.start.]\\
Since I first arrived here in this company, its name is what I've been about-- REDEFINE.
I've been about redefining my life. Five years ago, I should've been the breakout star of the year. But things got out of control. The company I worked for shut down. I made a massively bad mistake, and I had to do some serious soul-searching to get my head on straight.
I stepped into this company, and it's been about redefining who is Mars Tetch. The angry young boy fresh out of high school, fresh out of the Torture Chamber isn't here any more. The slightly out of his mind lunatic they used to call the "Wargod" came back down to Earth. I got my anger in check. I'm not that guy any more. I came here to redefine myself.
Have I been successful? Well, let's see-- I'm so far undefeated. Even managed to defeat a former champion last week in Glasgow when I planted Grayson Shaw with the War Hammer. And lemme tell ya-- you can believe the hype about how tough that bastard is. He and I wailed on each other for almost ten solid minutes, and I was the better man on that occasion. Another day, another place, mighta been different. But last week, it was me.
And now I'm going up against the World Television Champ, Faolan Reid. A guy that on paper, is my equal. And based on what I've seen in the ring, it ain't just on paper that he's my equal. We're both hard-nosed strikers who work a submission style. We're about the same size-- he's got a bit of height on me, but otherwise about the same. And we're both men who crave that competition. We don't want an easy night. We want a fight that we feel when we wake up the next morning.
When I woke up in Glasgow the night after I beat Grayson Shaw, I felt it.
Reid wants to hold onto his title, because of course he does. But he's also looking ahead, 'cuz there's already another challenger waiting for him. Me? I'm focused solely on you, Reid. Whether there's another asshole waiting in line behind me doesn't matter, because I'm all about beating you, and redefining my career.
Not just that new kid with anger issues.
Not just a punk who got lucky a few times.
Not just some guy looking to cut his teeth in this business.
But becoming a champion. Having that accolade to my name. And start reclaiming my glory.
Strap in, Reid. Regardless of the outcome, I want this to be THE match of our careers.
Let's do this.\\[.end.]//

I know what I am getting in Blackpool.
I can see that Mars Tetch is going to be a great competitor and one that will make me fight my arse off ta keep my title.
Faloan Reid taps the title that is next to him on a chair.
It is simple I know that he is undefeated and that he beat Grayson Shaw and all of this and now he is looking ta beat a champion so he can ‘old a title pretty quickly ‘ere in Redefine Pro. I get all of what he is saying and ta be honest he might just be able to back it up. But the main problem in his little conquest is that he has ta face me. Someone that has been a great champion so far and will always be a great champion.
Questions ‘ave come up if I overlookin’ Mars. I’m not I ‘ave just sat ‘ere and looked at what JP Caliban ‘as said that he wants to be a triple crown winner, and I’m the ‘older of the title that he ‘asn’t one. So of course I’m going to mention him and how I want to beat him. It is simple, I want to beat Mars, and then JP. But if Mars needs to cling on that to try and get one over me then fine let him ‘old on to that. Let him try and get in my ‘ead with that.
He shakes his head and sighs a little bit and looks at his title.
He is right about one thing. He and I are the same type of person. We like to try and ‘urt people in that ring. We want all of the fans to be talking about how ‘ard ‘itting this match was at the end of the night. We both want to lay claim to ‘aving the match of the year in Redefine Pro, and in my ‘ead I believe that him and I can do that. We can hit ‘ard and make people stand up and take in deep breaths with every close fall. We can make people walk up to the water cooler and talk about the match the next day. That is how confident I am in this match.
I want to keep redefining myself like Mars. Ta do that I ‘ave to keep winning I ‘ave to keep people talking about me and ‘ow I do that is by winning every match I am in. I know I ‘ave lost once and that feeling is not a good one. Mars ‘asn’t lost yet ‘ere in Redefine Pro but when he steps into the ring with me with my title on the line he will lose. He will feel the pain of a loss and he will see me with my title ‘igh above my ‘ead.
He smiles once more as he gets up.
Watch this match, and watch it become the match of the year.

I love a good fight. It's been one of the key aspects of who I am, even as a boy. I was the scrawny kid that got picked on, because the assholes liked seeing me lose my temper. I got my ass kicked a few times over it, but I never backed down from the fight.
When I walked into the Torture Chamber, I got my ass kicked quite a lot by Frank Robinson and his trainers. They turned me from a scrawny punk into a chiseled fighter. They taught me how to pick my moments, to tap into that anger and use it to fuel me. That adrenaline got pumping, and I felt invincible.
I walked into City of Angels Wrestling with a chip on my shoulder and I went looking for a war with anyone that looked at me cross-eyed. When it shut down a month later and left me twisting in the wind in L.A., I went looking for a war in the wrong place and ... well, I've talked about that. I got my ass kicked by the L.A.P.D. and went off to prison.
Pain is something I am accustomed to. I went back to the Torture Chamber after serving my time, and Frank honed me into a well-oiled machine. My temper's in check now. I can focus that anger and keep it from blowing up. Iron sharpens iron, and now I'm razor sharp.
But understand something, Reid-- I don't exactly enjoy hurting other people. I like fighting-- getting my blood pumping and getting that adrenaline surging. The harder the other guy fights, the harder I fight. In the heat of the battle, there is nothing else but that moment-- when I feel that tingle in my nerves and the rush of the fight in my veins. If I'm taking a punch or delivering it, it doesn't matter. The fight is what's important. But, of course, I'd be lying if I said I didn't care if I was winning or not.
The only thing on my mind is this fight, Reid. There is no one else that matters down the line. There is no one else that came before that matters. There is only you and me. You've been a fighting champion, and that gives me hope that you'll be giving me a fight for the ages. But going into a fight as a champion and going into a fight as a challenger are different mindsets.
You're just fighting to keep a title, and there's a different strategy there.
I'm fighting to take that title. I've got everything to prove here, and I know it. But I welcome that pressure. It will focus my drive like a laser, I will rise to the occasion. The hungry challenger is a whole different beast than some guy that's already got glory to his name.
The fact that I'm so far undefeated means nothing to me right now. As far as I'm concerned, I could be fresh in the company without a fight to my name.
This match with you, Reid, is the match that will make me.
This match is the match that will redefine our careers.
This match is the match that will redefine the World Television Title.
This match is the match that will redefine wrestling.
Match of the year? No.
Match of the ages.
Count on it.

Mars lad I love the fight that you seem like you will bring when you and I step into that ring. I know now that I will not be able ta let my guard down because you will come with everything that you ‘ave. You will look at me in the face and not be intimidated and lad that is a great thing. Lad that brings me ta bring even more.
My title is on the line lad, and I don’t want ta give it up, I want ta hold it, I want ta make people see how good I am. I know I ‘ave said it before and it might be a tad bit annoying but lad that is ‘ow I feel. I feel that I owe it ta everyone ta keep this title for a very long time. Ta lose ta you might not be a bad thing but I would feel like a failure and I don’t like looking like a failure I want ta stay on top and if I ‘ave ta beat you ta do it I will.
Faolan Reid smiles a little bit as he sat in the ring. The title was not around him giving him the feeling of not having it.
You see I don’t have the title with me right now because I wanted ta leave it behind ta see how it feels without it. And lad it doesn’t feel good without that title I feel bare so that is why I ‘ave ta keep it, and that is what I intend on doing.
Now lad I sat back and listened ta what you had ta say. You have been through a lot and that makes you battle tested, but I am battle tested as well. It took a lot for me ta come to America ta see what I could do, and now that I’m back on this side of the water I want ta show the people ‘ere that the time in America ‘as been good for me. That it ‘as made me a better wrestler and a better person. I ‘ere you say that you don’t want ta ‘urt anyone but lad ta beat me you will ‘ave to ‘urt me.
That might sound a little tough lad but it is the truth. I will not give this title up that easy, you will ‘ave ta ‘it ‘ard. It is simple, I will not just lay down and let you win. I will stand up ta you and ‘it you back like I ‘ave said.
The last key point in this match is that I have the champions advantage. You ‘ave ta beat me in the middle of the ring ta actually win the title. I can lay you out outside of the ring and I keep my title, and lad maybe that is what I intend ta do.
He smiles as he gets up and leaves.

//[REDEFINEBlackpool 4.03]\\ //[TV Title Match vs -Faolan Reid-]\\ //[.start.]\\ Reid, apparently I was wrong about you.
I thought we were kindred spirits. Two men that had a respect for one another. A respect for this sport that we are both a part of. A respect for the purity of combat that awaits us.
And for the last several weeks, as I was gearing up to make my debut in this company, and doing my homework about what competitors awaited me, I thought I was right about what kind of fighter you are.
I watched as you became a champion, and a fighting champion at that. And what I saw had made me look forward to our eventual clash. I thought I was right about the kind of champion you are.
And when this match got signed last week in Glasgow, and over the last week, as we've both been preparing for this match, speaking our mind about it, I still thought I knew what kind of man you are.
And then you went and proved me wrong, with one simple statement.
I pointed it out last time I spoke on this match-- I know that I have the uphill climb here. I'm the challenger. I can't win the championship unless I beat you, either by pinning you or by managing to either making you pass out or tap out to a submission-- and I'd thought if that were going to be the case, it'd be by pass-out, since you didn't strike me the type to tap out. Because whatever else you've proven yourself to be, you're a proud man, that much is still clear.
But as we both knew-- without really saying it-- there is the Champion's Advantage. A champion retains his championship if the match ends via count-out or disqualification. It's a shortcut that has been exploited by pussies and cowards and douchebags throughout wrestling history, and it was one that I'd thought you were above, Reid.
I thought you were better than that, man.
Then you went and intimated that you'd just try to lay me out on the floor and win the match by count-out. All because you don't want to lose your championship.
What changed, man?
The man defines the championship. The championship does not define the man. Don't misunderstand me-- I want the championship to elevate my career, but only so I have a higher caliber of competition to look forward to.
But you, Reid, are letting the championship define you. You are letting the greed of wanting that gold pollute you. You are not approaching this match like a competitor, like a true fight. And that tells me that you're afraid.
Well, Faolan, you won't have much reason to be afraid for much longer.
Because when I get to Blackpool, I will take your championship away from you, and you don't have to be afraid of losing it anymore.
See you soon, Reid.

I guess I need some final words. I might ‘ave messed up with my words when I last spoke and Mars ‘it on them and I guess I should address them.
Faolan Reid shakes his head. His hair wet seemingly just out of the shower he is shirtless and has a towel around him.
I didn’t mean to say that I would use the shortcut against you lad. It might ‘ave sounded like it but I laid it down as an idea that I could use.
But lad I will not use it, I promise you. I’m sorry I confused you lad. It ‘appens but I will show you what I mean when we finally stop talking and get into that ring together.
He smiles a little bit as he starts to walk around the room.
Lad, I do want ta beat you and I have said that ever since this match was announced. This title doesn’t define me lad but I love ‘aving it around my waist or on my shoulder. Gold, being around my waist is something that I always wanted lad and it ‘as came ta me quickly. That is why I want ta fight for it and keep it lad. If it defines me then I will allow it because it makes me that much better lad. A title around your waist proves to everyone that you are on top of your game. That is why I am fighting ‘ard for this lad and that is why I will do whatever it takes to pin you or make you submit in that ring. Maybe I did say I would knock you out on the outside of the ring but lad like I said I will not do that ta you. I will fight you in the middle of the ring and lad I’m not scared.
You can sit there and say I am but you don’t know me. You don’t know what I had ta do ta get this title. Ta make people finally see me in a different light. The fights on the streets, the wanting ta make myself better. But that will come in due time. People will finally see my history soon enough lad but right now all I ‘ave to worry about you is in that ring with my title on the line.
As I 'ave sat 'ere and ‘eard you speak every turn of the way Mars, I ‘ave started to see that you will be in this company for a long time and you will ‘old gold sooner or later. But not my gold.
He shakes his head once more and then takes a deep breath.
We both know what this match is going ta be. We will both get in that ring and the fans will cheer and go ooh and ahh at every punch, every kick, and every slam. But lad I will do what I do best and that is win.
