Ron Downs: Not at all what I expected. Apparently I'm a bit more falliable than I initially thought. I am, contrary to my prior belief, capable of loss. For this reason I've been thinking, maybe I don't have what it takes to compete in TnT. I've lost the ability to compete. There's no point in me being on the TnT roster because I'm not giving the fans what they deserve, a winning champion. Maybe I got lucky in my first match. These are all the things that were running through my mind. I was ready to quit TnT wrestling. Just walk away... But that all changed. I saw David Helms come out and call me a punk. He told me he didn't like me, he told me that I couldn't beat him. I was ready to give up on professional wrestling, but when I heard that, something went off inside me. Suddenly I didn't care that I didn't get the job done at Final Conquest, that didn't matter anymore. It didn't matter that I didn't deliver like I said I would. I received a challenge, and the world knows that Ron Downs CAN NOT, I repeat, CAN NOT turn down a challenge. IDIOT! Going into my second match earlier this month, I wasn't focused, that caused me the victory and allowed fools like Sparky to pick up a victory over me. Listen here Spark plug. You won the first battle. You blind-sighted me. But that's ok, you stole a victory, I can live with that and I know you can, YOU DEFEATED RON DOWNS, I have no problem saying that because its true. But I want you to understand something. One day, our paths will cross again and the outcome will NOT be the same. Winning or losing will not matter to me. I will not be satisfied until I leave you lying in a puddle of your own blood, THAT'S IT.

Ron Downs: But don't worry David Helms. It may not sound like I'm not focused, because I have a bit on my mind, things that have nothing to do with you. But here's the thing, I realize now that I need to thank you. So Dave, at the beginning of the match, I'm going to present you with two greeting cards. One of them is an appreciation card. Because of course I would like to thank you for helping me find myself again. Helping me to stop feeling sorry for myself and remember just who I AM. The second card is kind of pointless, I mean I got it already so I'll give it to you. It's a get well soon card, I mean its the least I can do for you to make up for the savage beating I'm going to give you. Dave, from the bottom of my very being I really would like to thank you. Thank you for reminding me just how hated I am. It drives me to do the things that I do, to say the things that I say. Because really, I just don't give a FUCK! Who am I? I'm FUCKING RON DOWNS! You're right, I have not held the World Title before, I haven't beaten a champion to get it. But quite frankly, I don't need to beat you to slingshot my career into superstardom. That means nothing to me. However, my career WILL be launched into superstardom when the world sees what a very capable, very focused physical specimen like RON DOWNS can achieve. Dave, it makes no sense for me to warn you that you're going downtown. If you don't know that by now, someone should press the reset button on your life. I'm not God, I can't do that, but I also won't hesitate to beat your monkey ass to pulp. "Don't play with fire, you will get your fingers burned," you tell me, that's your advice? Am I supposed to be impressed? Who the hell do you think yo are? You're not Smokey the Bear. This isn't an Public Screening Announcement. I can see it now, you dressing up like a jackass pranincing around the ring telling me that only I can prevent forrest fires. I bet you're really proud of yourself aren't you Mr. TnT veteran? Well, I've always been stubborn, and I always will be. I have no intention of heeding your warning. You know what, I'm going to play with fire at The Beginning of the End and yea I might get my fingers burned a bit,but Dave, a lil burnt flesh will heal in a week or two. How long will it take for YOU to heal after I break every bone in your body meticulously? Dave, all the stitches in the world won't put you back together after I take you apart limb from limb. Dave, no plastic surgeon, doctor, or any of the advancements of modern science will be able to restore you to the way you are now, prior to our match. Dave, all I'm telling you is to cherish the little things in life, like your ability to walk, having two arms and two legs, your five senses. Because honestly, I can't guarantee that you will have any of those when the night is over.

Ron Downs stops talking and walks away. The screen shows him leaving. He seems to have a lot on his mind as though he is walking with a purpose. The screen fades to black.
