You dont get it Stone

[Mitch Fierce]

Mitch Fierce has just returned to his hotel room after finally getting out after a few days in Yokohama. Mitch enters his room taking off his leather jacket and sunglasses throwing them on the bed. Mitch then goes into the bathroom washes up looking at himself in the mirror the dark shadows under his eyes visible where he hadnt had any sleep. Mitch wonders to himself if Aoife will see him if she does show up only she knows the answer to that. Fierce then goes back out into the room and stands looking out the window

I didnt expect any response to my decision about giving up the number one spot in the Emperors Crown Tournament. It seems however that my decision has gotten a reaction from you Alexander Stone. You dont get it Stone and I dont expect you or anyone else to understand my decision not even the owner or the fans. You see Stone its not my back that I was talking about needed watching. It was Aoife that I was talking about. Who do you really think The Cartel will go after if I had said no? I will enlighten you Stone. They wont come after me. They would go after Aoife. Fucks sake I can read between the lines Stone. Ive been doing it for 21 years in this damn business. Hate for something terribly to happen to Aoife? That wasnt an idle threat it was a threat to her. Let me make one thing clear to you Stone and to anybody who dont like the decision I made. If I have to make a damn deal with Satan himself to make sure nothing happens to Aoife then so be it!. Lets be realistic Stone. Can you gurantee me that you will watch Aoifes back? No, you cant gurantee that. When Im out in the ring fighting in this tournament can you gurantee that The Cartel wont harm Aoife in any way? That you'll put yourself at risk to protect her? No, you cant. Do you know what its like Stone to watch someone you care so deeply about more than anything you could ever possibly care about watch them get brutalized and you do nothing even though you couldve stopped it but your damn ego got in the way and you chose the win over saving them? It fucks with a man Stone. I couldve stopped what happened to Aoife. All I had to do was take a countout loss and go down that ramp and beat the living shit out of Jake Owens and Tony Tran but instead, I chose the win over the woman I cared about and I watched her get brutalized!. Yeah, her words fueled me in my Hell In A Cell Match at Leap of Faith and I avenged her for what Owens and Tran did to her but it doesnt change the fact I fucked up big time allowing her because of my ego to get hurt in the first place. I vowed Stone that if Aoife found it in her heart to forgive me and give me another chance that I would not ever let my ego get in the way of causing her injury again. You dont get it and to be frank I dont care if you do. Its Aoife that Im looking out for not myself. I can handle my own. I dont care about being injured. Been there done that survived. I know myself and I know my ego. If I fight, my ego overtakes me and thats not good for Aoife. I dont know how long you have been wrestling Stone but over the years I have been doing it there comes a point when you say fuck it its not worth it. Its not worth me being in this tournament putting Aoife at risk again. I wont do it. Its a small sacrifice but a worthy one for Aoifes sake not mine
