00:00Isn't this the prettiest thing you've ever seen in your entire life yet?

00:21It was almost, it was a year ago, it was over a year ago I had this belt high in the air

00:27after I fought for it for the first time in Dayton, Ohio against Samoa Joe

00:31and I proclaimed this right here, the most important belt in North America.

00:46Right now, in my hands, as of this day, 618.05

00:53this becomes the most important belt in the world.

01:10This belt in the hands of any other man is just a belt. In my hands it becomes power.

01:16Just like this microphone in the hands of any of the boys in the back is just a microphone.

01:23You put it in the hands of a dangerous man like myself and it becomes a pipe bomb.

01:28These words that I speak spoken by anybody else but me are simply words strung together and loosely formed into sentences.

01:40What I say, I mean what I mean, I say and they become anthems.

01:46You see, if I could be afforded the time to tell all of you here today a little bit of a story.

01:56It's a parable of sorts.

01:58There was once an old man walking home from work.

02:02He was walking in the snow and he stumbled upon a snake frozen in the ice.

02:08He took that snake and he brought it home and he took care of it.

02:13And he thawed it out and he moved it back to health.

02:15And as soon as that snake was well enough, it bit that old man.

02:20And as that old man lay there dying, he asked the snake, why?

02:25I took care of you.

02:27I loved you.

02:29I saved your wife.

02:31And that snake looked that man right in the eye and said,

02:35You stupid old man, I'm a snake.

02:38The greatest thing the devil ever did was make you people believe he didn't exist.

02:45And you're looking at him right now.

02:47I am the devil himself.

02:50And all of you stupid, mindless people fell for it.

02:56You all believed in the same make-believe superhero that the legendary Ricky the Dragon steamboat saw some year ago today.

03:07No, you see, you didn't know anything.

03:12You followed me, hook, line, and sinker.

03:15All you did, and I'm not mad at you.

03:17I just feel sorry for you.

03:20This belongs to me.

03:22Everything you see here belongs to me.

03:25And I think what I had to do to get my hands on this.

03:29And now, I am the greatest pro wrestler walking the earth today.

03:35This is my stage.

03:43This is my theater.

03:45You are my puppets.

03:47And I paint those marionette streams.

03:50And I use your emotions.

03:52And I play with them.

03:53You see, because honestly, I get off on it.

03:56I hate each and every single one of you with a thousand of them.

04:01And I will not stop.

04:03I will not stop until I prove once and for all that I am better than you.

04:10That I am better than Low Key.

04:13That I am better than AJ Styles.

04:19I'm better than Samoa Joe.

04:25Ladies and gentlemen, the champ is here.

04:29You don't have to love it.

04:39But you better learn to accept it.

04:42Because I'm taking this with me.

04:44And there isn't a single person in that locker room that can stop me.

04:51Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go
