[Elijah Black is sitting backstage in the aftermath of No Limits, short on breath and drenched in sweat, a look of fire in his eyes]
So I'm sitting here, in desperate need of a shower, but here's the thing - taking a shower means that I accept what happened tonight and I will move on from it, and that is something I am not going to do.
See, as I walked to the back hearing Troy Stone's theme playing over and over again until the last fan had cleared the building, it struck me how I'd been approaching things all wrong. Until now I've just been one man, which is good enough for most fights but then there's that one time that your opponent has the Squealer to their Napoleon on the outside, their sole purpose to prevent their Dear Leader from losing.
It seems I've been going about this all wrong because, when I've been looking for a partner, what I've been doing is asking the locker room for a favour, and it seems nobody is willing to do that because doing me a favour isn't to the benefit of their own self-interest, when what I need is someone that won't just tolerate the thought of sharing the glare of the spotlight with me for as long as they have to like Nightmare did, instead I'm looking for someone who actually wants to be there.
With that kick to the head, Stone, you may have won a battle by the slimmest of margins, but your actions have made me realise that rather than stay neutral I should mobilise for war, and that's what I'm going to do. This may be no Day of Infamy, merely a Day of Inconvenience, but right here in this LaLa Land locker room is where I declare that I am putting together an army, and conscription has begun.
