Amazing. How do you do it, Rollins?
You've always been like this, ever since the day I first met you; always ready to meet the next challenge, even if it's bigger than you are...
It was the same at ROH. You had improved so much that it made Danielson look like he was standing still. Your power had increased so dramatically since our battle in America that I thought you had done it, I thought that you had become a SuperStar! It tore me apart! How could a low-class amateur accomplish so easily what I...I had to struggle my whole life to achieve!?
After three generations, it has finally happened; a new SuperStar has emerged, and, somehow, I have become this pauper's witness. Then at last, it happened. I too transformed. After living every moment of every day for the singular purpose of surpassing you, I finally became a SuperStar myself, the Cleaner had reclaimed his throne and fulfilled his destiny. But no matter how strong I became, your power still exceeded mine.
At first, I thought it was your brothers; that it was your instinct to protect them that spurred you on and pushed you beyond your limits. But then I found myself with a group of my own, and my power... didn't increase at all.
I used to fight for the sheer of pleasure of it; for the thrill of the hunt, oh I had the strength unmeasurable - I spared no one. And yet, you showed mercy to everyone, even your fiercest enemies, even me! Yet, you never fought to kill, or for revenge. Only to test your limits and to push yourself beyond them, to become the strongest you could possibly be. How can a Wrestler fight like that and at the same time be so gentle that he wouldn't hurt a fly? It makes me angry just thinking about it! But, perhaps it is my anger that has made me blind to the truth for so long. I see it now, this day has made it all too clear.
You're better than me Rollins. You are the best.
