I’m in this match for one reason, an’ one reason alone: to win. I don’t give a goddamn about Logan, about some perceived evil. Only one thing matters, an’ that’s WCF gold. That’s my future, my destiny, an’ I am ready to claim it…
The screen that had been showing that image goes blank. Then, a “rewind” symbol appears in the top-left corner, and the VCR makes the appropriate noises.
Mikami: Is that so? Future? Destiny? You have been given eyes, yet you will not see. You have no future, Johnny Reb. Gravedigger will see to that. Your only destiny is to fade away, like all the other WCF wrestlers. This federation is slowly dying. And you refuse to see it. Like everyone else, you are lost in your own world. Your life is war movies and horrible mobile phone advertisements. The only television I watch is the news. Everyday I see theft, rape, murder. And you admit that all you care about is gold.
The tape finishes rewinding.
Mikami: This is not a matter of perception. Gravedigger is here and is killing all of us. You cannot deny this. And Logan is the one that threw away a chance to take him out. Corey Black tried his hardest, and he failed. The only incorrect perception here, is that there is no hope. There is, in fact, one hope left, in this darkest night before dawn. Me.
Mikami stands up and ejects the tape from the VCR, briefly stepping into the view of the camera aimed at the television. He leans down and turns to face the lens.
Mikami: The WCF and its fans have been completely indifferent to me up until now. I expect this to continue even after I win at Slam. But when I do what must be done to Logan, the fans will hate me. I already know what will happen after that. After all, everything so far has gone exactly according to plan. All I can say right now is that I will prove my commitment to justice. And the fans will hate me even more. At some point, Gravedigger is going to want to show that he is the boss around here, and I will face retribution for my actions. But I will not give up. Eventually, the fans, all of WCF, and even you, Johnny Reb, will realise that I am here to do good. You will all realise that justice must be served. Johnny Reb, you of all people should know, the winners write the history books. Your “states' rights” are now just “slavery”. Your Confederates are misguided at best, and evil at worst. Likewise, if I fail in my mission, then the same will be said about me. If I succeed...I am justice.
Perception in action.
