"The business lost a legend. Professional Wrestling as we know it today lost a man that may as well be considered a founding father. The man known as The American Dream changed everything that we thought we knew about professional wrestling. DUSTY RHODES set a standard and gave us a dream to follow. I took that dream and when everything in my life changed for me... when EVERYTHING crumbled around me and I found myself under my own hard times and I blamed everybody and everything for things out of my control. It led to me being in trouble more times than not. It had me fending for myself since I was fifteen years old. My worthless dad always in and out of jail, comes home and abuses my mom. Drives her to always be upset, sends her into depression, to alcohol, to DRUGS!. She stopped caring. She stopped caring about me... she stopped caring about the only light that I had in my life; she stopped caring about my little sister! Sure, my dad stopped coming home because the sorry sack of crap got drunk and got in a car accident one day... but it wasn't too long before my mom passed from all of the BULLSHIT that she kept putting into herself. My little five year old sister was suffering, my little sister that didn't know ANY BETTER in the world except that her parents didn't give two shits about her. But they took her. They took my light away from me and I fell into a darkness that nobody else would understand. I lost her. I lost my ONLY LIGHT!"
There was a pause from me as I revisited the darkest time in my life. It was a time that tortured me, but it was my own personal "Hard Times" that I had to deal with. They caused me to be the man that I was, but I had no disputes about who I was. I didn't have many friends through my life, let alone many that I was able to share my stories with. But for those that did matter in my life, those that I did care about and knew my story, my hard times, those times taught me to never give up on those.
"But there's always a little bit of light at the end of the tunnel. My Hard Times made me into a FIGHTER! They taught me that I had to do whatever WAS NEEDED to get by and to accomplish what I needed to accomplish. Some people don't like that. No? You know what? A LOT of people don't like that but I won't apologize for anything that I've done, or will do. Gio DeFalco stands in my way. Gio DeFalco is going to fall. Gio DeFalco is just another pawn in this giant game of chess that is on the wrong side of the playing field at the wrong time and if he shows up? Well let's just say that I'm not going to be responsible for what happens to him because I've got one goal and ONE GOAL ONLY! Drew Stevenson and the Golden Gate Championship. See it's only a matter of time before I get my hands on Drew, and get my hands on the title that I DESERVE! It's about time that I get that break on my own that's been calling for me but either the company decides that I'm too different and doesn't want me or they decide to just say SCREW IT and close up shop before I got my chance. But now? Now it all changes. It changes because on July the first I make my debut and just like Dusty did... I change the landscape. I change everything that you think you know about what professional wrestling is today. I destroy Gio DeFalco then I get into that memorial cup and it's not gonna matter who stands in front of me... whether it's a DeFalco, Showtime and Adelaide patch up their wounds and show up, could be that punk Asher that likes to run his mouth without knowing a DAMN THING that he's talkin' about-- maybe Washington will throw a cast on and hobble around that ring. Maybe the bird lady, the kamikaze, the Irishman or Freddy Kruger himself will show up but it ain't gonna matter! Hell, somebody from one of those other worthless places around the world can show up and I'll beat every single one of them!"
I couldn't help but laugh at this right now. I found it all amusing. I found it amusing that all of these challenges stood in my way but all I had to do was think back on my own hard times and it gave me more motivation every single time that I opened my eyes because I was doing it for me. I was doing it for the family that the fifteen year old in me wished that I had, always seeking for approval of a family that never existed. I was doing it for my little sister, my light, that I hoped she would be okay. And I did it for myself now as a grown man to accomplish what I feel I need to accomplish with nothing holding me back.
"DEFLACO! You're quick on your feat, quick with the mouth but your jokes and your partners aren't going to save you. Dave some of that "weak sauce" for when you get home and have to heal up. Throw some of it with your chicken noodle soup and rest up nice and easy and next time pick your fights more carefully and not mess with the wild animal that's dealt with bullshit for the LAST TIME! What happens to DeFalco everybody can pay attention to! Cocheese, Stevenson, Showtime, EVERYBODY! What happens to DeFalco can... and will happen to you if you cross my path. That ring is my territory. It's my cage and I don't like intruders and right now Stevenson is the worst of all. Stevenson is trying to destroy my cage. He's trying to take my home and turn it into some new pathetic mansion of his and I'm not going to stand for it. July first is going to be my lucky day and it's going to be hell for anybody that decides to try and change that. July first is going to be a sunny day, it's going to be a magical day and I'm lookin' forward to it. I'm lookin' forward to destroying DeFalco and then I'm goin' into that gauntlet and Stevenson... I HOPE you show your face so I can tear that smug look right off of it. I'll win the cup for what it represents and then it's on to taking your title away from you! HA - HA - HA!"
End.
