PPV Match Announcement Shock, and Chance Owens' Discussion on YouTube.com. (On-Camera)

"Wow, what can I say about facing The Project and The Connection? It's one thing for me to be thrown in like that, but to team with my tag partner, who's the main reason for saving my life, to have a career I didn't expect in Konrad Raab? It's huge for me. The Rise To Greatness PPV event will mean more to me than it would with Konrad because facing more experienced wrestlers will benefit me as a wrestler overall, especially when Konrad is teaming with me. Additionally, I have never had the opportunity to test my hardcore skills, which I haven't yet done, so that's another bonus altogether.

Moving on from that, though, as I was getting ahead of myself when I should be addressing the current show side of things, facing a man who's been almost in the same situation as I am. Roadblock Chance Owens. It's incredible how you've come back to the wrestling business and wrestled like you've never been away, and you've had some impressive matches as of late, too, in the rumble, specifically. I know you've a lot of unfinished business to attend to.

But what I mean is that you and I have been in a similar situation when we were sleeping. I'm sure that you've had a nice, comfortable bed to sleep on to get sleep therapy to help you nod off with your insomnia issues. While that must be hard on you, between you and me, I think you'd rather have that than what I had to deal with when it comes to sleep. I would rather struggle to sleep with insomnia than have a nice warm bed indoors with bedding and clean clothes, and be able to feed yourself and drink, than having an earthquake hitting Turkey that you lose everything including your own home that you struggle to sleep on the streets because it was freezing with no pillow or blanket, no bed, and nobody giving you food and drink. All because you would fear for your life that someone can beat the shit out of you in your sleep until your practically dead.

That's what happened to me, Chance, and the fact that you had to leave wrestling because of that offends me a little, because you got help and people supported you. Nobody gave a shit about me when I was dying in the streets, fighting for my life. Nobody barely gave me food and drink to survive, and I had to crawl on my hands and knees to get to Konrad so I could get myself out of this garbage situation to live my life again. Konrad offered to help and turned me into a wrestler, allowing me to retain all my MMA skills, or at least most of them, as there are some MMA moves I unfortunately can't do.

However, I was never able to return to MMA again due to the earthquakes that shattered those dreams. Fortunately, Konrad saved my life by training me to become a professional wrestler, and here I am. I'm a miracle story. But I'm angry and I will always be angry until I'm able to start my own family, which I have to do from scratch, because all of mine died in the earthquake.

I wish this match was an underground rules match that would benefit the pair of us to let out every single bit of anger we have to each other, along with practicing for the underground rules match, something I've not had here yet as the focus has been on my technical skills which I do prefer to do over hardcore wrestling admittedly. Still, it's not an underground match, and it's just a match for us to wrestle in a regular match to see who wins.

The fact is, having the combination of being a technical and a hardcore violent wrestler makes me the most dangerous of them all because I could hurt wrestlers in so many ways possible and being a brawler too, that also helps. It makes me more feared in the ring than most can see. Sure, my words aren't the most creative or as much anger because of my religion that prevents me from saying things I want to say, but I'm still angry inside because of the earthquake situation that made me what I am today.

So I'm going to beat the daylights out of you to the point where you won't be able to move, because I want to test your roadblock skills to the limit. After all, even a roadblock can break at times, and that's what I do with you because you might very well be a technical wrestler as far as it goes. Still, I'm going to break you in many ways possible, unfortunately. As much as you're an innocent victim, I want to send a message to The Project and The Connection that, since they don't know me well, they don't and can't overlook me as a wrestler. I will break you, and you won't be going as far as I will. I see you in the ring, Chance, because I'm ready to lock and load."
