I normally would wait a little longer to make a post like this, but I don’t know how many people will be sticking around tomorrow to read this.
This... truly is an unreal moment for me. I cannot stress enough how many days and matches pushed me into places I’m not proud of. This is without a question one of the proudest accomplishments of my life. I began playing Teo on a full time basis on Asesinato de Mayo 2015 and never looked back.
To put that in perspective, when I started Teo I was finishing a bachelors in English. Now I teach English at a local university. What a difference four years makes, huh?
But here’s the thing. I’ve thought about this a lot in the lead up to what is ostensibly my final match in WCF, and along the way how much each and every one of you has contributed to my life. I don’t just mean helping me do great things with the TV or Internet or Peoples titles, I mean the fact that I consider each and every person I’ve interacted with here a friend. Seriously, I don’t want to dredge up drama, but I’ve witnessed it all firsthand, and I can safely say without any hesitation that WCF has been like a second family to me.
Sometimes families fight. Sometimes they even break up. It’s okay, it sucks, but it’s part of life.
But I speak with nothing But complete and total honesty when I say the following words: I would not be world champion today if not for the guidance, the competition, and the encouragement of each and every writer here, and I’m pretty sure I’ve faced most of you at this point as well.
WCF challenged me not only to grow as a writer, but as a person. To be able to look at myself not only as a critic, but to truly evaluate how I can improve as a person along the way.
The world title has eluded me before, and it frustrated me, hell the closest I’ve ever come to hanging it up was after an unsuccessful world title match. I’m not proud of it, but I realize now that losing then was just another challenge, another chance to get better.
So if there’s any message I want to impart in what could be my last message to my crazy online family, it’s this:
We don’t always realize the impact we have on each other’s lives. There will always be those moments that mean the world to someone, but seem mundane to someone else. But never forget that every day you have the chance to impact someone’s life. Teo Del Sol means the world to me, but he will always be intrinsically wrapped up in This part of my life. I am so lucky to have had the chance to know all of you.
I don’t think of this as my accomplishment. I could not have climbed this mountain without the help of my crazy online family.
So from the bottom of this one time online Luchador’s heart, thank you for giving me the chance to make an impact on your lives, as you have all made such a huge impact on mine.
