Anita Armstrong with Ryu

[Ryu]

Screen shows Ryu standing with Anita Armstrong

Anita: Ryu, I got to admit, there is something different about you then a month ago. What is the change?

Ryu: Anita, I've been able to calm the anger inside of me and get back to the basics of doing what I love. Being in that ring. To live is to fight, to fight is to live.

Anita: So are you saying we are going to see a softer side of you Ryu?

Ryu: I wouldn't say softer side of me since I'm still going to give everything I got in the ring. I'm just going to focus more on my skills and becoming better then trying to piss off the great fans of Philadelphia. I've said some things to them in the past about their sports teams but in reality, Philly has some of the best fans in the world if not the best.

Anita: Sounds like a true change of heart. Did the beating Able and Brutal Brett Havoc gave you have anything to do with it?

Ryu smiles

Ryu: Able and Brett Havoc. What a lovely couple those two make. Brett Havoc showed me in the ring I have much work to do. I was honored by the fight. Then Able and him dishonored me by kicking me while I was down. Some people just lack class.

Anita: There was a time when you yourself Ryu attacked someone that was down with Able.

Ryu: It all goes back to control. There is an evil intent inside of me that I fell to for a short period. All of us have it. It's just stronger in some then others. Some say that I will never be the true warrior that I am supposed to be with out giving in to that power.

Anita: Well Ryu, this talk has been very enlightening. It's been an honor speaking to you.

Ryu: The honor is all mine.
