We fade into the home of Ronnie McNeil, more importantly, his office, where he has just heard the latest words from Hans. Ronnie flashes one of those famous frowns, faces the camera, and speaks.

Hans, you have zero clue of what's going on, do you? Would you have risen up against those two, risking your life to merely escape, with no guarantee that they would have NOT come after you again to kill you instead of some random target? Would you have let your dear, sweet, girlfriend Vanessa and your brother bury you, only to make them targets themselves, Vanessa moreso than she already is? If you're willing to die to uphold some outdated ideal, then you're a better man than me. When worse comes to worse, as that entire situation was, I choose to protect my life and my family..

I took the only option I had available for me and my family. Survival. I don't condone killing innocent people under any circumstances. But those who do bad things to the innocent, like that man, deserve what they get. Nevermind that the FBI were looking for him for funding terror cells both in and outside the country. So if taking charge, stopping Shakir from shooting up an entire city and guiding them to finish a "job" the FBI themselves were working on doing means that I'm "scum", then so be it. I get to go home to my wife, and stay off not only the alphabet boys' hit list, but Shakir and Curt's as well.

You're so quick to want to drop the hammer on me, but I'm not the one with connections that high up. There's a reason that those two have basically been a terrorist group unto themselves with no real heat on them. Don't look at me...look at your lord...dear Baron. He pulls their strings, much like he seems to pull yours.

And this title right here...is mine. I earned it by beating you in the middle of a cage, and will defend it until I get my hands on the World Championship. You had your chances to keep it from me, and you failed. Just like Logan will fail in trying to take it from me at Havoc. So take your holier-than-thou bullsh*t rhetoric and stick it, Hans. You spent time in those same towers I did, and did the same evil things...so you have no right to preach to me about anything. And to think...I actually had some respect for you. Now you're just another hypocrite to be blown away like the wind.
