1000 Days
I knew I had to be The Champion. The history of its lineage. I had to be a part of that.
Knowing I started at a much older age than others, getting signed wasn't a major priority to me. A 30-year old starting off in the wrestling business hasn't really written many tales of glory. I knew my story had to be different. Not for anyone else, but for myself.
I know one day, when this is all over, we will all look back and think, “Was it a waste of time?” Or was this something I can be proud of?
Once this title was mine, I made sure to make it mine forever.
Whenever the word FIP or its title is mentioned, my name will echo. My name, my sacrifice, and my legacy will live forever.
I didn't hold this title through a company shutdown. I defended this title all over the United States and all over the world. I breathed life into this title and made it relevant once again.
The Most Defences.
The Longest Reign.
Put some Respect on My Name.
I am Real.
I am Raw.
I am History.
I am August Artois.
