"Let's get one thing clear...Owen Gonsalves does not settle for just being the best match on the card."
He sits on a rather comfortable chair, staring down at the patterned carpet as he lets out a light chuckle at the comment. He's fresh off his match with Mark Storm, a tournament match that will air very soon. He's drenched in sweat and the string around his trunks is loosely tied together in order for him to be at maxium comfort.
OWEN GONSALVES:"Now don't get me wrong here, I do take pride in having some great bloody matches night in and night out, especially in the Pride of Puroresu Crown and especially like the one I had tonight against Your Hero and Mine. But you see, that's a corner I just can get backed into...I refuse to be the wrestler who's only use is having a good match on your card, I love having the best matches of the night but the truth of it all is that I love having the best matches and then winning them."
There's no humble way to say it and Owen knows that, almost cringing slightly at having to speak the truth in order to best prepare himself for his upcoming run in the tournment.
OWEN GONSALVES: "For too long now I've been the good hand or the guy that has a hell of a match but never can quite get the big one, and you know what? That's a good little niche, really. I mean I can do no wrong in the eyes of the fans now in terms of wrestling inside that ring, and I love them for that, so I can go out there and go through the motions and have another great match and that could be it. I could be the guy that has great fucking matches all the time, that could quite easily be my career the same way it is for so many others in this industry, and it's not a bad career at all."
"But you see, I didn't do this to be that guy, I didn't do this to be the guy who is always trying to win the big one, I didn't do this to constantly be the underdog story...I did this to be the absolute best at it. The career I've had has been a blessing and a curse, I've been blessed to have some good matches and wrestle some great people and gain some praise for it but I've been cursed with that tag, I've been cursed with the story that I just can't quite win the big one."
Owen talks a moment to breathe as he scratches his head, showing some sign of frustration and annoyance as he speaks on his recent troubles.
OWEN GONSALVES: "And maybe I'm not helping matters by bringing that idea to the surface but I'm sure the fans think it anyway, and I don't blame them for thinking it. I've been stuck with this story for years now, and even when I won the IYH Championship earlier this year, people are still knocking it down to other factors. So I'm stuck in the middle here, I'm stuck constantly trying to prove to anyone and everyone that I am the best and that I'm capable of working my ass off and winning the important matches."
The frustration becomes more and more clear as The Submission Alchemist begins to unravel the tape around his wrist as he continues to speak.
OWEN GONSALVES: "That's where the Pride of Puroresu Crown comes in, that's where the GPC Heavyweight Championship comes in and that's where Chandler Scott comes in. Chandler would be the first to tell you that he 'reigns supreme' and there is not a damn person that can say otherwise. Chandler is everything that I am not, he is a Hall of Famer in FGA, I'm barely on television there, he's not lost a televised match in NJFC, my record here is far from perfect but most of all he's having five star matches approved by Scriven...matches that he wins no less."
"Chandler is arguably the best in the world right now. But you see, there's this underlying factor that nobody really talks about in tournaments like this, there's always this time where all the stars align for a wrestler. I am one star away from alignment, Chandler. I am one win away from going on a damn rocket ship to the top. Chandler Scott is the big victory that I need, so I don't care how many star ratings you get per match, or who you beat to get those star ratings, I don't care how many Hall of Fame rings you have...I don't care how supreme you are, Chandler. I respect you for the top dog that you are but make no mistake about it, every dog has their day. Chandler Scott will learn that his reign of supremeity will only get him so far when Owen Gonsalves cannot be denied and will not be destroyed."
The tape is unravelled and thrown to the floor as Owen focuses in on the camera for the first time, allowing for the audience the see the drive and determination in his eyes. There may not be any stopping the trajectory "Indestructible" Owen Gonsalves is on.
