Christopher Daniels vs. Goldust
Shinedown - I'm Alive (Lyric video) The Avengers Soundtrack - YouTube
The crowd is on its feet as they hear the beginning to Daniels entrance music. Once he comes flying out, they get even more electric. Daniels is all smiles, regardless of his loss to Bully Ray at SummerSlam after promising to be him. He walks down the ramp, waving to the fans, and shaking hands with the fans lucky enough to have floor tickets right by the ramp. As he enters the ring, the fans slowly quiet down, knowing he’d have some words for them. Daniels didn’t waste any time as he quickly asked for a microphone, which he was given almost right away.
Christopher Daniels:
Thank you for the warm welcomes my friends. It is truly heart warming to have such admiration from each of you. Considering I lost my match against Bully Ray at SummerSlam, I was curious how you would all respond to me. Especially given the fact that I had promised to beat him. I promised all of you an end to the Bully, I failed in that mission. But, he did not break me like he promised, so in the end I am not defeated. I’m still standing! Now Bully is shipped over to the newly formed brand NXT. So, the great fans of Raw don’t have to put up with him anymore, and I am free to move on. Free to climb the ever growing ladder of greatness until I have reached my goal. That goal is to be at the top of that ladder. To look down on those I have overcome. I will not promise you it will happen, for all I know it won’t! I will promise you this; I will do everything in my power to get there! I will try my very hardest to be your new champion.
The crowd seemed to like the idea of that as they cheered for Daniels. He smiled as he stood in the middle of the ring and continued.
I know I don’t have the best record in this company. Most wrestlers would be discouraged from carrying on. Most wrestlers would just leave the company altogether. I can’t do that; I can’t with all my heart do that. I love this business; it’s almost all I know. I’ve made great friends in this business, I’ve met amazing people! I have the opportunity to entertain you people every single week! There is no way in Hell that I would risk losing that! A lot of the guys in the back can tell you how amazing it feels to hear the crowd cheer for you. It’s amazing when you hear just one guy chanting your name, and then the entire arena joins in a huge choir. I may not have defeated Bully Ray at SummerSlam, but he didn’t defeat me either. With your support I found the strength to move on.
You know, after that match I sat in the back. I sat there, looking at nothing thinking about where I would take my career. I wondered how I could move on after so much time of claiming to defeat just one man. Wondered how I would be able to stack up against the bigger guys. How would I even be able to think of challenging for the UWF title? And to be quite honest, I know I’m not ready for it yet. I know the higher ups have been watching me, I know what they are looking for. I know they need someone they can trust to be their guy to hold that belt. I know I can’t be as good as Stone Cold, especially after witnessing his victory in that Chamber. That was quite possibly the greatest match I had seen in a long time. He stood triumphant and tall over five other men! Very few men can proudly say they have done the same. I’m very proud to call Steve a friend.
Speaking of friends, I face a man tonight who I had to be good friends with to take on Bully Ray and Curt Hawkins. He’s the Bizarre One Goldust. And I can tell you one thing, he truly is bizarre. He’s a great fighter however, so I know I have my hands full. But I am confident enough in my skills that I know I stand a chance. I’m not going to just claim a win here. To say that would be far too cocky for my liking. I will promise to do everything in my power to make it a spectacular match for all of you! Now, Goldust, you know as well as I that neither of us really wants another loss on our record. Especially after we both lost our matches at SummerSlam. So I hope you bring everything you have, as I will be doing the same. Let’s put on a great show for all these people!
Daniels exclaimed as he waved his arms out to the entire crowd. The fans truly enjoyed the statement as they showed their appreciation. Daniels smiled as he continued once again.
Now, before our match, I just wanted to say, it truly is an honour to finally meet you in the ring. I don’t count our tag team match; because I knew that I wanted to have a match with you. I knew it would be an amazing match and I knew that it would truly test both of us. So, why don’t you come on out, and let’s show these people what we have to offer!
Daniels waited patiently for some kind of response from Goldust.
