THE FOLLOWING ARTICLE WAS POSTED THURSDAY NIGHT, FEBRUARY 1ST, ON GLOBAL WRESTLING DIVISION'S OFFICIAL WEBSITE.
Good Intentions
You know, when I decided to come back, I promised myself not to ever make anything...personal. I was just going to step into that GWD ring...and do what I love most...just simply WRESTLE. No feuds, no vendettas...I just wanted to do my job and have a good time doing it.
But from the beginning, it seems as though destiny has other plans for me.
As soon as I walked through the GWD doors, I was almost instantly thrown into a sport that was the same as I had left it. A sport overwhelmed with politics and treachery.
I, for one, don't appreciate it. I'm tired of playing these games, ladies and gentlemen of Global Wrestling Division.
I know I'm popular. I know any sort of controversy around me is going to get people talking. But enough is enough.
I love wrestling, I love GWD. It's my second home, my obsession, my career. When I decided to come back...I hoped...and I prayed...that things would be better.
I was wrong.
It's still the same. Just as much bad to go with the good. Just as much corruption, just as much grief.
People have forgotten why we're here...to WRESTLE.
Why do we constantly feel the need to take things too far? Why can't we all just get in the ring, compete, and go home, win or lose?
Why does everything have to be so damn complicated?
We have grown men and women acting like school children, calling names, spreading rumors, and making excuses. We have people who don't even respect the sport they claim to love. We have a GWD lacking unity...lacking discipline and order.
And it scares me. I'm afraid for Global Wrestling Division.
It scares me to see that a man like Mark Storm can not only keep a job here, but manage to make it to the noble status of American Justice Champion.
And that's where I reach my point. This goes out to you, "God".
If you think, for one second, that I'm going to just sit here and let you hurt people the way you do...then you're in for a surprise. If you think I won't do everything in my power to bring you down...you're dead wrong.
I never wanted to be the hero people have branded me as. All I ever did was stand up for what I believed in. All I ever did was stand against people like you. Not for the glory or the approval of the fans...but because it was the right thing to do. For whatever reason, my choice to actually care about this business and the people in it has singled me out...has made me, ironically, a target.
But I could care less about that. Why should I concern myself with people who consider me "old and washed up". If someone wants to put me down, fine. If you're that insecure about yourself that you have to pick on others like a schoolyard bully then be my guest.
But there are lines. There are limits. There are things you just don't do to people before I take a stand.
Dogs of War...you have crossed those lines...you have gone past those limits.
And you'll pay for it.
Storm should be suspended. You should be fired. The fact that you are neither speaks volumes about the state of Global Wrestling Division. The fact that everyone isn’t rising to stop you speaks even more.
But I will stop you, Mark.
You're not hurting an innocent again. I'm going to find your lackeys, I'm going to find you, and I'm going to make you pay.
But this has evolved into something so much more. This has become PERSONAL. So personal, that poor people like Adi Gold seems out of place...lost on the outskirts of your sick obsession with bringing pain to anyone that did nothing but love this sport.
Ms. Gold was just a tool that you used, no matter who would have won the match at Puroresu, her role was forgotten. Her spotlight was stolen by a man who's very name leads to pain and suffering. She was hurt by Storm.
But Storm...let me tell you right now. If I don't see you put an end to this...then YOU will be the one suffering. I don't cross the line often. But I will with you. You disgust me. You bring out all sorts of vile and evil feelings in me that I wish never existed. But they're feelings I will gladly unleash if you force me to.
Evil will NOT be reborn on my watch. Dogs of War...Mark Storm...you're in the crosshairs...you are going DOWN.
I can’t wait to see you again in the squared circle.
