We go to comments from Christopher Daniels. He says he says that he is the smartest man in the room and it helps to know what to say to intimidate or infuriate an opponent to get things to his advantage. The best way to get his point across going into Ladder Wars is to tell the truth. He says he has been here for 23 years and a lot of the people he started with have retired. He wonders if the end is near. Nothing lasts forever. He says he knows the cliché of an athlete dying two deaths. The first is a knock on his door he can expect at any time. The other will be when he has his final championship match and he will hand the title belt to the referee but not get it back.
He tells The Young Bucks and Machine Guns to think about how tight that grip is if you feel you will never get it back. Think about the sacrifices you will make if you think they will be gone. He says he has been a father for 13 years and a husband for 22 years. If all he had left was the title belt, he would be fine with that. He is a horrible husband and a terrible father. The only thing he was good at was professional wrestling. He has measured his life with titles and a life without that is a life he does not want.
With their backs against the wall and with their lives hanging above their heads against two of the best tag teams, think about what Christopher Daniels will do to keep that. He says he will risk everything. He will spit in the face of clichés. He will tell time to f*** off because this will last forever. At All Star Extravaganza, the Addiction ends you.
