I am honored to be competing in my first main event. Though my opponent, Grace Taylor, has competed in seven already in IWA, making this her eighth, she is still marginally more composed than I according to our sports science experts. Although I'm certain that Grace Taylor may want to consider this an advantage in her favor, the difference is so slight and, when factored in with my superior intelligence, this is a moot point. This match is not too important for me. I will not be desperate. I will not make rookie mistakes. If you're expecting any 'rookie' mistakes, then that will be your biggest mistake. I will be ready for your best.
1 = Where Grace's chances of winning this match via submission rate on a scale from 1-10.
Even though you've improved your submission game, your skills do not match my ability to defend against them. I know every angle, every weakness to every hold, and how to escape them or turn them into a submission hold of my own. And for as much as you learned about applying submissions, you seem to have neglected to learn much about defending them. This is terrible news for you this week as you are facing one of the premier submission experts in this business. You defeated Ravyn, sure, but she was not quite the submission expert then that she is now. And that's not to mention that you 'escaped' from a cage to win. What happened at the end of that match is precisely why I do not invest any energy in adding any aerial moves to my repertoire. And speaking of aerial moves...
1 = The amount of missed aerial moves where cranial damage is sustained that it would take to knock Grace Taylor out.
While your endurance is moderate, your ability to absorb knockout shots is not. The benefit for you here is that I am not a trained striker. I will not be delivering any knockout shots of my own. The unfortunate part is that this is the only chance you have of possibly beating me. Your flip you call the 'Amazing Grace' could be your only 'saving grace' (see what I did there?). But alas, my in-ring intelligence is top-notch and I guarantee you that I will see it coming. Do you know what happens if you miss? Looking at your average velocity from film of your move, you rotate approximately 347 degrees before you make contact with your opponent at chest level. This happens in approximately .78435 seconds. If, however, your opponent is not there, you cannot stop your momentum in mid air. You are 5'7" while I am 6' even. To execute the move without aiming too low and falling on your back and, as a result, the back of your head, your target is approximately 52.8" from the ground, which translates to 4'3". I do not have an exact measurement of your body proportions but, if I were taking a rough, and favorable, guess, I would imagine that approximately 60% of your height is attributed to your legs. Using that, we determine that your legs are 40.2 inches long, which is roughly 3'4". This leaves approximately one foot unaccounted for when in mid-flip and needing to stop your momentum. Since you will not be able to stop yourself utilizing a full leg extension, even if you are able to react in the small amount of time you'll have when you see that the target has disappeared, the velocity of your revolutions mean that you will impact the mat face first. Since you are susceptible to knockout shots, this velocity of your impact will be guaranteed to knock you out, rendering you helpless to any submission hold I deem necessary to secure my victory.
1 = The amount of weeks you've needed off with only two weeks logged in Metro:PRO history.
Killshot #2 came and went and you were nowhere to be found. Could this potentially be a longevity issue? I can compete, and win, without any off weeks as you will soon see.
1 = The amount of foes you've faced that are anything like me.
You may have faced opponents with strong techniques, like Carter Hayes, or a high intelligence, like Priscilla Price, or even an impressive submission arsenal, like Blade Connors, but you have never faced the total package. You have never faced me. Come Sunday, you will receive your first ever loss.
My analysis guarantees it.
With Thanksgiving behind us, the nation will now get into the spirit of Christmas. With that in mind, I find it fitting that I match their enthusiasm...
On the 1st day of Christmas, my analysis tells me...
