MJF says Arn Anderson, Dean Malenko, Adam Pearce, and Regal watched the matches, and says he knew he was fighting for his life. MJF says Regal pulled him away from the group and gave him three minutes to sell himself to Regal, and he did it. MJF says Regal told him he would get him a job that day, but then found out MJF was 19 and told him he was too young. MJF says his heart stopped, but then Regal told him a list of guys who he put his name on. MJF says Regal told him to work his ass off and then send him one match and one promo each month. MJF says he did it for two months, and then he got an email back from Regal telling him to only send his stuff when he became one of the best in the world. MJF says Regal squashed his dream and says that email wanted to make him end it all. MJF says he came back, and then Regal turned into a sad, bitter, old man who got fired. MJF says Regal snuck into his company and sticks to wrestlers who are better than Regal ever was. MJF says he is now a generational talent and who Regal’s former employer would kill people to have on their roster. MJF says he reads Regal’s email now when he needs a laugh, because Regal is nothing more than a joke to him now.

Regal responds and says he was having to fight grown men when he was 16 to get into the industry. Regal says he wasn’t casting MJF aside, but he wanted to light a fire under him because he saw something in him. Regal says if an email is all it took for MJF to get here, then he’s had it easy. Regal says he always told MJF he needed to get better on the microphone, but he always saw he was a great wrestler. Regal says he was picking on Tony Schiavone before MJF was even born, but you never lay your hands on someone like Schiavone. Regal says MJF has disappointed him, but he hasn’t done anything to prove himself to him yet. Regal says MJF hires people to do his work, and uses a ring to knock people out. Regal says he used brass knucks because he just enjoyed hitting people with them. Regal tells MJF to do it right, and to beat everyone in front of him to get to that place. Regal says if MJF wants to beat the devil up, then show the world right now. Regal turns his back on MJF and tells him to prove to the world. MJF doesn’t strike Regal, and then Regal turns back around and says MJF still has a lot to prove. Regal drops his mic and leaves the ring.

Danielson says it is never fun to lose a match, especially to Chris Jericho and for the ROH World Championship, and it was a big deal to him. Danielson says he had a lot of high hopes for Daniel Garcia, because he thinks he can surpass him as a technical wrestler. Yuta smirks at Danielson’s response and asks Danielson how he was surprised at what happened last week. Yuta says Garcia was just using Danielson to get what he wanted, and then says the Blackpool Combat Club means something to him, Claudio Castagnoli, and Jon Moxley, but it clearly doesn’t mean anything to Danielson. Yuta gets up and walks away before Danielson can respond.
