Brooklyn Blake vs. Keegan Hightower

"Dissapointment. It's a word I've become familiar with since joining Pangaea. I lost my first ever match against Cutter Driftwood, bounced back against Heather and Danny, but then lost to Armada in my most personal match to date, a match I wanted more than anything to win. But through disappointment, comes determination. I've never been more determined than I am right now.

Even through the losses, there has been one constant for me so far in Pangaea and that has been the fans. From my first match, they have had my back. When I've been knocked down, even knocked out, they cheered for me to get back on my feet and keep coming back for more. They are who I plan on leaning on in Paris for Chapter IV. I have a match that I know won't be easy when I take on Keegan Hightower.

Keegan, you aren't the most down to earth guy most of the time, but so far I've had no personal issues with you. We've been friendly on twitter, I've run into you backstage and we've said our hi's to each other. You even worked in ACE where my dad helped run the show, I've known you for months now. What I do know about you is that despite the ego, you can back up your words in the ring. What I also know, despite our friendship if you want to call it that, is that you don't have much respect for women.

You defeated Heather Sandstorm at Convergence, but you didn't do it cleanly. You pushed the ref into the ropes to mess up Heather's balance and then hit the Makeover on her. Chivalrous? Not a chance, but you did what you had to do to win. If you would have left it at that, I might not even have been too upset. But what did you do next? You confronted a group of female fans at ringside to rub it in their faces. You laughed at them, made a mockery of women in wrestling and that is where I draw the line.

You know me Keegan, you know my family. My dad comes from a background where he will do anything to end up on top. Who do you think he passed those traits on to? Avalon might be injured, but there is still one Blake left in Pangaea, and when you laugh at fans, the one's who support me, the one's who support US, you lit a fire in me.

I know you have a 2-1 record here and I only have a 1-2 record, but each match is a fresh start, a new opportunity to succeed. I plan on taking advantage of my opportunity on June 11th.

We both defeated Heather, you beat Cutter while I lost to him, but this isn't about any of them, Keegan, this is about us. What gives you the advantage over me? Experience, size, strength, all of that works in your favor. I know I can't out strike you physically, I know I can't overpower you and I know I'll make rookie mistakes that you will capitalize on, but Keegan, you can't match the heart I have and heart can go a long way in a match.

Another one of your weaknesses is the same thing you turn your nose down on in the ring, and that's women. I've seen you on twitter, flirting with women. I've seen you at ACE shows doing your best to impress any of the women that would give you a second look. How is that going to play int our match? Will you be able to focus enough to wrestle me, or will you be too busy looking at me?

I never use my body to my advantage, and I won't wrestle you any differently than I've wrestled anyone, but I've seen you get distracted in the past. I still remember Vixen smashing you through glass in ACE too. You aren't unbeatable Keegan. Gender doesn't make you superior. Work ethic makes you superior. Effort makes you superior. Actually caring about what the fans have to say, makes you not only superior but more likely to succeed in the long run because without them, we're nothing.

But, do you know who else I want to impress? Ramona Holiday. You two have quite the history since Pangaea has opened its doors, don't you? Everytime you wrestle, you egg her on. You antagonize her and she gives it right back to you from the commentators table. When you defeated Heather, you made sure Ramona never heard the end of it.

I'm not doing this just for me, or my family, I'm doing it for the fans, for Ramona, and for women all over the world who you demean in an attempt to make yourself feel better about yourself.

Remember one thing Keegan, I'm a Blake. You may knock me down, you may force my back to the ropes but just when you think you have me where you want me I ALWAYS fight back. I refuse to sit there and allow you to embarrass me like Armada did. My dad instilled aggression in me and my trainer, Jack Savage has only furthered that. Its embedded in my personality, and Keegan, all of this aggression that I have built up in me from what happened to Avalon, and from what Armada has done to my family? It will all be released on you unfortunately. Don't look at me as little Brooklyn that you saw backstage at ACE when I was 17. Don't look at me as a woman against you in a match. Look at me as your opponent, look at me as the one who regardless of our friendship outside of the ring, will do whatever it takes to win professionally. And remember one thing, and this is really important Keegan. Business is NEVER personal. Miles Blake taught you that, didn't he? Bring everything you've got to Paris, because I'll do the same."
