00:23:10,724 --> 00:23:12,604
But then I lost my belt.

517
00:23:12,684 --> 00:23:15,194
Mr. fuckin' Dream
took everything away.

518
00:23:18,815 --> 00:23:20,815
11 days later,
I lost my sister.

519
00:23:20,817 --> 00:23:23,607
- AUDIENCE: Aw!
- Yeah.

520
00:23:23,695 --> 00:23:25,735
Never got to see Nisey again,

521
00:23:25,739 --> 00:23:27,199
tell her I love her.

522
00:23:28,283 --> 00:23:31,333
If I wasn't the champ,
who the fuck was I?

523
00:23:32,829 --> 00:23:34,789
I thought I hit rock bottom.

524
00:23:34,873 --> 00:23:36,883
But little did I know,

525
00:23:36,875 --> 00:23:38,535
shit was about to get worse.
