Next Stop: Destiny... New War on the Horizon.
Posted by Lance Warner on 27 Jul 2014
Dusty Griffith stops by the DEFIANCE offices to discuss the goings on in the land of DEFIANCE Wrestling with Lance Warner before he heads out to prepare for his World Championship Rematch versus Kai Scott at GRINDHOUSE: AMERICA!
ON SAVING KAI SCOTT FROM DAN RYAN AND WHY HE DID IT:
Dan Ryan went too far, he wanted to do the same to Claira and I stopped him, he wanted to try and maim Kai Scott, I wasn't going to see that happen either.
ON PEOPLE QUESTIONING HIS DECISION, WHEN OTHERS WOULD HAVE TAKEN ADVANTAGE:
It didn't take long before I started hearing people say I should have let Kai Scott get destroyed, take full advantage of the gift that was being handed to me on a silver platter. Well, that's not who I am, it's not what I'm about, and besides, what does it prove? That I can beat a guy who wasn't even going to be a shell of himself? That doesn't do jack for me, brother! Look, I might fight these crusades that take me away from my ultimate goal but, at the end of the day, I'm still a fighter who wants to fight the best at their best and a broke done husk of Kai Scott doesn't fit the bill.
ON WHY IT IS SO IMPORTANT TO FIGHT THIS "VERSION" OF KAI SCOTT:
It's important because the first time we fought in Japan, I had to drag the fight out of him, force him to be the champion that he has become and when he started to fight for real, it got interesting. That guy doesn't hold a candle to the Kai Scott we have beared witness to since his battles with Heidi and Boxer and even YAZ, that is a guy that I want to challenge myself against, belt or no belt, it's something that I just have to do.
ON ERIC DANE MAKING HIMSELF THE REFEREE OF THE MATCH:
If he wants to be sure that the referee isn't a factor one way or another, that's his perogative, as long as he doesn't get in the way, I don't care why he did.
ON THE LATEST TAKEOVER ATTEMPT OF DEFIANCE:
It seems to me that this place hasn't gone very long without someone trying to overthrow someone else. When I first arrived years ago, it was Elijah Goldman and his ridiculous vision of what pro wrestling should really be. Then it was Jeff Andrews ousting Eric Dane after they sent Goldman packing and now it's Edward White trying to do the same thing. It's the same song with a different tune and you had better damn well believe, brother, that I'm going to fight to the bitter end for DEFIANCE.
ON THE "NEW LOOK" BLOOD DIAMONDS:
They're a tough looking bunch I'll give them that but, they aren't really fighting for anything except for themselves and using Edward White's leverage to benefit their own agendas. Frank, Euge, Sam and everyone else, we're standing up for DEFIANCE because this place is our home and defending your home is damn good reason to fight for.
