does it feel like something's wrong?

well hasn’t hell just froze over? i’ve spoken a lot over these last few months, a lot of my messages have been about righting the wrongs of the past! about bringing change to a circuit that SO DESPERATELY needs it. y’know, i left this place a long time ago. before the glitz and the glamor that azrael hendrix is known for, before my war against botb, before i was “difficult to work with”, i had decided i was done! but i came back to bring change, to bring a new era to this dying business… and you all shut me out. blacklisted me from television, job me out to the “next big things”, labeled me a difficult worker! BUT THEN, I FINALLY MADE IT TO THE BIG TIME!... all for it to be ripped away from me. so i left again, and i intended to stay gone! but, something always ate at me. something always felt off. i came back earlier this year to not just bring change, but to force the hands of time! for far too long, i’ve sat back and watched my friends get massacred by an industry stuck in the past. i decided that enough is enough! i’ve been echoing these same sentiments for the better part of four years… and i still got a lot of things that i got to get off my chest.

in the final years of what many call “the heyday” of this circuit, i was handed braindead decision after mediocre idea and as we all know, i was very vocal about my displeasure with how i was being handled in certain “sports entertainment” companies as a professional wrestler. and that seems to be a common theme amongst people like me! these companies that call themselves professional wrestling companies that couldn’t sports entertain a room full of first graders trying to tell ME how i should present myself! TRYING TO TELL US TO BE “GOOD SOLIDERS”! little did they know, it was dishonourable actions that led to our success. we were a friendship forged in the flames of our hatred for the ways of the old! we were a brotherhood forged in the flames of a desire for change! we handed you change on a silver platter… and you all threw it away. everything we sacrificed for this, everything we sacrificed to become beacons of change, to become the harbingers of a new era… all for you to label us as “difficult to work with”. and how DARE you sit here and choose to erase OUR contributions now? you all wanted the best wrestlers in the world AND YOU HAD THEM! but handing away our opportunities, telling us to be “good soldiers” when asked why, then painting us like the villains when we had enough made him walk out the door and left me wanting revenge.

and let me set the record straight, this isn’t some revenge tour that ends with me beating Tyler Law for a title i “never lost”! this isn’t some marketing strategy, this isn’t some cute label to give my return because no one would’ve ever cared about me otherwise! THIS IS MY LIFE! and i don’t need to copy the blueprint of those who blurred the lines between character and reality BECAUSE I AM THE GOD DAMNED BLUEPRINT! EVERY SINGLE PERSON WHOSE COME AFTER ME CLAIMING “INJUSTICE”, CLAIMING THEY’RE BEING “HELD BACK”, CLAIMING THAT “BOTB NEVER MADE STARS”, ARE NOTHING MORE THAN CHEAP IMITATIONS OF THE SUCCESS THAT I MADE! you all hate every single thing that i stand for… yet the very second you saw my success, you wanted nothing more than to BE ME! and doesn’t that just eat you alive?

sometimes in this business, to get the right outcome you need to make people feel like something’s off! and while airing out all of my issues with these companies that paraded their wrestlers around like entertainers wasn’t deemed professional, and while not letting cooler heads with the boss prevail about how my team should have been booked got me labelled as “difficult to work with”, i wouldn’t change a single thing that i did. because at the very end of the day, i made it to the very top of this industry and every single person who EVER tried getting in my way is nothing more than a footnote in history! i was blacklisted and censored by the industry because they couldn’t handle i didn’t respect this business in the ways they wanted me to. they wanted US to be good soldiers and they wanted us to just go along with their idiotic, braindead decisions like every other corporate yes-man this circuit has seen! they wanted us to just stick to the status quo when that very status quo was killing everything people like me, people like Anthony Ares and Outlaw Ace worked so hard to build! BUT IT’S NOT LIKE YOU GUYS EVER CARED ABOUT EITHER OF THEM! HELL, YOU STILL BARELY CARE ABOUT ME EVEN AFTER TRYING TO STEAL EVERYTHING THAT MADE ME A SUCCESS!!

and speaking of outlaw ace, my best friend, my ride or die, the man that YOU all took away from me. i sat in my home a little over two weeks ago and i made sure you all ed him. i made sure, that just like myself, he wouldn’t just be a footnote in the history books of a circuit that drove him out! I WILL CONTINUE TO SHOUT HIS NAME FROM THE TOP OF MY PILLARS BUILT BY HATE AND JEALOUSY! I WILL MAKE SURE THE NAME “OUTLAW ACE” BECOMING A NAGGING REMINDER OF THE CHANGE THAT YOU ALL REJECTED! THIS DOES NOT END UNTIL I GET WHAT I AM OWED! THIS DOES NOT END UNTIL I RIGHT EVERY SINGLE WRONG OF THE PAST! THIS DOES NOT END UNTIL YOU’RE ALL REMINDED OF WHAT YOU DID FOR THE REST OF YOUR PATHETIC LIVES IN THIS MISERABLE CIRCUIT! i will forever remind you all of the fact that YOU all drove away my best friends, and i am making it a problem for every. single. one of you.

do you want to know the best advice i got? it was from Seann Cena, in the city of Portland, Oregon. he was the honor universal champ, and outlaw ace was mere hours away from stealing that championship and walking out of the company with it. but at the start of the night, as ace & i are chatting, i’m in my old el hendrico gear, he goes up to ace, myself, and a few of the boys and says to him, “Y’know Ace, you remind me a bit of myself when I was younger.” ace & i looked at each other with that look of knowing he was full of it, but ace let him continue and he said to him, “Something I learnt, if you’re a good soldier then good things come to you.” so then that's what i became for years, i took every hit on the chin, i made career mistake after career mistake AFTER CAREER MISTAKE to be a good soldier… then 2020 hit. i went home, locked away in my house for months on end, and that’s when i saw it. it was then when i saw the toxic ways of this circuit, it was then when i knew i needed to bring change! GONE WERE THE DAYS OF SITTING BACK AND WAITING FOR THINGS TO COME TO ME! AND GONE NOW ARE THE DAYS OF ME ACCEPTING THAT CHANGE WON’T COME!! I SAID IT LAST TIME AND I WILL SAY IT AGAIN HERE

THIS CIRCUIT LIVES, BREATHES, AND DIES SCREAMING THE NAME AZRAEL FUCKIN’ HENDRIX!!!
