Tony Rich, "Been a minute since I have done one of these, but I feel this one was important.
As many of my fans know, I officially announced my retirement from professional wrestling about...what...6 months ago? I am sure someone in the comment section will let me know the exact time frame, down to the minute (laughs) But here is the thing, I been talking to my friends in the industry, one in particular and he knows who he is. And it had me doing a lot of soul-searching.
And the truth is that I came to the realization that I am not done yet. No, let's hit the backspace button on that, I KNOW am not done yet. I have known this for awhile and either out of still being that stubborn kid from Reno OR the time not being right, I never made the phone calls to try and get back into that ring.
Well, the phone call has finally been made and am going to be competing on a ONE NIGHT ONLY contract for Golden Gate Wrestling on their Dusty Rhodes Memorial Show. Let me repeat the ONE NIGHT ONLY part because that can not be stressed enough. I am in no way, at this moment tied to Golden Gate, but who knows what that night will bring.
I made the decision to take Golden Gate's invitation and compete in The Dusty Rhodes Memorial Cup Invitational, mainly out of respect for one of the greatest minds in this business, that can never be replaced...."
Pausing for a moment, I have to grip my emotions.
Tony Rich, "I had my first Professional wrestling match at 17, and it was also at 17 that I won my first TWO championships, not bad for a kid from Reno huh? I am now 26 and with almost 10 years in this, I like to think that I have earned some respect in most locker rooms.
However, some people still doubt me. Some people still try to count me out, and that is going to be a mistake because when you tell me I can't do something, I will keep coming at you until I CAN and this Invitational is just the opportunity I need to show the world, not that Tony Rich is back..."
A model esque chick walks up behind me in nothing but a towel and leans over my shoulder.
"You coming back to bed baby?"
Tony Rich, "But that Tony Rich never left"
Leaning over and shutting off the web cam, the scene fades to black.
