Here is your fight size update for Thursday, September 23, 2021.
- Speaking with Eat, Sleep Suplex Retweet, Drew McIntyre explains that he is not jumping to challenge Big E for the WWE Championship because he is just so happy that one of the nicest people on Earth has reached the mountaintop.
Everybody's close to Big E, he's the world's nicest man. Yeah, I'm one of them. I'm all for him. I mean, I've tried not to say too much, probably, because technically, I have been waiting for Lashley to lose the title, so I can instantly challenge for it. But I'm gonna let Big E have his moment, mostly, too, because I, like everybody else on planet Earth, am genuinely happy for him. Sometimes the good guys do win and he's the nicest guy in the world. He is such an incredible athlete, and he's paid his dues, so it's really cool to see them have that title and have that moment.

- Speaking with WrestleZone, Matt Taven explained why he will take time to enjoy his next ROH World Title reign, should he have one.
“When it’s over and it’s gone, it’s a craving, it’s an addiction, it’s a drug that you just can’t get enough of. And you’re like, you can’t take that from me, not now, I’m just getting used to it. You know what I mean — give that back to me. So it’s like one of those things that I feel I will always, always in Ring of Honor be striving to get back to the top, to get back to the world title scene because there’s nothing like it. I was so determined and focus that I really had no opportunity to kinda enjoy it that much. So I think I’ll always be looking for that, to go back and to do it and again and this time maybe out a smile on my face sometimes when I walk out to that crowd and just kinda take it in for a second because when it’s gone, it’s the first thing that you want, is you want it back.”

(Entire Transcript)
When you put so much into your work it becomes you. You invest your #body, your #soulAnd Your boss becomes more than a man…
Your #boss becomes your #creator.What do you believe about Your creator when he disowns you? Banishes you. Throws you away?
If you are made in your creators likeness, YOUR Creator built a #monster.
You became this monster not because of your size or your strength but a monster that comes from the jagged pitfalls of #fame.
The #money. (Consumed you)
The #women. (Infatuated you)
The #ego. (Engulfed you)Is your creator truly an omnipotent being? Eyes of fire a stature brandished in bronze? Or is your creator simply a man?
Distant
fallible
Indifferent?Men lie. Men persuade. Men are greedy and Men betray those no longer serve their #purpose.
Being #betrayed is not the worst thing that can happen.
The smaller you feel, only means the larger you can become.
A monster develops #intelligence, monsters have emotions
they feel compassion
Monsters seek #acceptance.And Monsters can be killed
#Control. You are no longer controlled by your creator and his corporation, his will.
#Freedom. You have the freedom to fight for your battles. For your ideals, not a blind allegiance but fight for yourself.
#Purpose. You can find your purpose.
Not just who you are… but WHAT you truly are.
(side note Adam) Your creator only had one son.
His name is Roman.
