We are inside a church. In front of us a large wall reaching 20 feet high. The wall has a beautifully painted portrait of a virgin mary floating on a cloud of angels caressing a child. In front of the wall is a church choir. They are dressed in alternating red white and green gowns in the form of a mexican flag. The choir members themselves are not all mexican though. The crowd is mixed with different ethnicity's. In front of them is a podium with the ICW Television Championship. From the left side we see Diego de la Vega enter in all grey suit and an open white dress shirt and as always his silver colored luchador mask.
I stand here en la casa de dios para decir ... to say .... thank you. I'm not here to thank god though. I stand here in my creator's house of worship to not only thank him but to thank another creator. That other creator is Noah Hanson. Without Noah Hanson I would not be the man standing in front of you. I was determined, I was strong, I was athletic, I was honorable, I was athletic, I was un hombre hernesto ... an honest man. This was al god's design when he placed me on this earth. However, it was Noah Hanson who bestowed in me the greatest trait I now possess; I am fearless. Con el ayuda de Noah Hanson soy un hombre sin miedo ... I am a man without fear. Y por eso te doy gracias. For that I thank you.
Diego de la Vega claps loudly. The choir joins in clapping as the church fills itself with the noise. De la Vega motions for the choir to stop. He walks over to the podium where his ICW Television Championship sits. He grasps it for a second and lowers his head. Their is a moment of silence and then he lifts his head.
Now a new chapter begins in the wrestling career of Diego de la Vega. People see me holding this title and wearing this mask and I have heard the people asking who is this man? Quien es Diego de la Vega? I can only answer in one way .... WHO AM I?

I AM A CHAMPION!!
Now before me stand two opponents. This saturday the new chapter writes itself. Diego de la Vega v Tyler Black v Marc Polo. A more naive person wouldn't be worried. I just beat the greatest wrestler in ICW history, an undefeated man, to qualify not only for the world title but to win my first championship. But I am not that kind of man. WHO AM I?

I AM A CHAMPION!!
But who are they? Who is Marc Polo? I'll tell you who he is. Marc Polo is un hombre en un mission. He's a man on a mission. I can see into his eyes and I can see he dreams of glory. Not only does he dream it but he thinks he deserves it. He's a physical specimen there is no question about that. So why enter the ring with him? In his own words, "I take suppose ‘talent’ and drop them on their fucking heads. I remind them in comparison, they’re merely developmental tools to further n***as like me who actually got the spotlight." Certainly a man with so much raw power that he can knock you out with a single punch is someone not to be messed with. That might work in the highlight reel but not in this match. To win the title you need something you clearly don't have. Necessitas corazon! You need to have heart. Heart is what gets a man up after he's been knocked down. Heart is what gives you that last bit of strength to kick out when you have no more. Heart is what every champion in every sport in every part of the world needs. Heart is what makes you grasp victory from the jaws of defeat. Heart is what Diego de la Vega has in spades ... and you have in ounzes. The road is paved with men who thought they were entitle to everything but lacked the heart to get any of it! But why would you listen to me ... after all ... WHO AM I?

Which brings me to Tyler Black. Tyler Black you disappoint me most of all. Sure you rescinded your comments after you found out what I had been through. Sure you stand their and praise me and my efforts. But as you kiss one side of my cheek you slap me on the other. You fill your speech with words like honor and integrity. You know nothing of what it means to live these words. You spout them off like scripture because you know that's what your supposed to say. I say them because that is what I am. Yo soy un caballero con honor con integridad!! You look up at me holding this title and you are shocked that a luchador could reach such greatness? You know nothing of the great history of lucha libre. You know nothing of its history filled with great legends. My idol El Santo beat every man there was to beat. Rey Mysterio Jr was doubted in every wrestling ring he stepped into and came out not only with the victory but with their respect. Mil Mascaras faced every man in the ring and every night gave everything he had whether there were ten people or ten thousand. These men know about honor and integrity. These men like me live their lives in and out of the ring with honor and integrity .... you use them as a catchphrase. So spare me your false worship because I know inside that ring you won't be thinking of honor and integrity you will be thinking of this ... the ICW Television Championship. You say you're a never say die high flyer. How do you know? Como sabes que no vas a murir? The truth is you're not. They're just words. You've never been pushed that far ... you have never had someone take you to your limits and keep pushing. Yo si. I have. Noah Hanson did that to me every time I was in the ring with him and that's why I lost to him three times. It wasn't until I accepted my fear that I became fearless .... became El Hombre sin miedo that I was able to beat the unbeatable. The truth ... la verdad es ... you're going to have a great show and maybe even have the highlight of the night. But just like I told Marc Polo highlights don't win matches and certainly not title matches. Heart does. Tienes que tener un gran corazon y un orgulla para pelliar para quitar mi titulo. You're going to need a big heart and a strong desire to take this title away from me. But that's not who you are Tyler Black. Your flashy, your charismatic, and you got spunk. But that's you .... WHO AM I?

The choir continues chanting I am a champion as Diego de la Vega grabs his title and wraps it around his waist. He buckles the belt and enters the choir joining them in shouting I am a champion. The choir launches into a grand applause for Diego as he shakes all their hands with a big smile on his face.
