Gotta give the man credit, well done @JakeMuses. Enjoyed the hell out of that fight. You hit like a fucking brick, I heard a few voices say fight of the year, so clearly we did something right. Judges ruled it in your favor, funky got it done.
Let’s go again sometime, eh?
Years later it still has the same effect. In anyone else's hands this is a microphone, in my hands it becomes a pipe-bomb. I don’t burn bridges, I watch them explode before my very eyes.
I however did once tip a stripper with good advice.
I’m a good man, ladies and germs.
Revenge is best served cold, I’ll remind you of this when you stare at the lights and wonder why I just passed you by. Your endgame? That game plan worked once, but you think you know the answers? I’ll change the questions. No little leagues, it’s the deep end. Sink or swim.
you're looking for redemption, I'm looking for revenge.
this isn't about you, Punk.
it's never been.
you were an easy defense.
my endgame remains the same.
that "false Messiah" you hint at, he's mine.
enjoy the little leagues.
Skill? I’ll admit you’re a well versed champion for sure. Better than me? That’s wishful thinking. 2011 was my peak? Well 2022 will be my resurgence. I’m here for redemption. I’m takin’ back what is mine, this is my city. You may be great, but I’m the best. That’s clear cut.
you're right, luck is for losers. skill is for champions.
which one of us is a champion?
now which one of us reached their peak in the summer of 2011 and has never performed on that level since?
Every man has weakness, I exploit it. You’re fighting a god. I’ve seen other “messiahs” come and go, the copycats.. but there is only one true entity that never dies out, CM Punk. I see fear in your eyes, I’d wish you luck but it’s for losers. But hell, the shoe fits.
looks like The Dark Knight is about to meet the Bane of his existence. don't come looking for the belt again, you'll find nothing but a smack upside the head.
A minor learning curve. It seems as if the beacon has been struck back up though because as I said, the dark knight returns and I hope you’re ready for that. I’m out for redemption and it begins with you. I’ve waited, I’ve prepared, and now I return.
When you swing at me, pray you don’t miss. You only get one shot at this. When I return and I will, I have a short list of targets to call out. I’m here to be an agent of change not a suited business prototype.
You laughing bud? I’m the band in your ear that you don’t want to hear but can’t resist playing. It’s all fun and games now but just wait. I don’t wear a suit and kiss ass, I wear trunks and kick ass. Big difference.
Only a matter of time ladies and germs. My first love will always be professional rasslin’. None of this “Entertainer” shtick. This isn’t the little leagues kids, this is where the big boys play. In my hands, a microphone is power. My voice echos change. The dark knight returns.
