The scene is Jack’s ranch in Oklahoma. He is out by the horse stables, a bell sounds from his home, its the lunch bell. 2 men and Jack start to pack things in. Things seem to be going better, well enough he hired 2 full time ranch hands. They seem like good men.
“You two go on ahead, tell her I’ll be in there in a few minutes.”
They nod acknowleding him and they make their way to the house.
“I been rocking and rolling for a while now. Been on a bit of a hot streak. And I guess my reward is Robert Saints. If I beat Robert I get an IC Title shot. Heck that sounds about right ta me. Robert and I aint no strangers ta each other. We danced enough times to know how this goes. Two men enter one man wins. Thats how it always been, thats how it always will be.”
Jack looks out over his ranch. Smiles a little.
“Truth be told I didnt think id be able to handle this place after my pa died. Heck I thought I just didnt have it in me. But I surprised myself. I did right by him, what else can I ask of myself?”
Jack looks at the ground.
“But truth be told, getting by aint enough anymore. I need to do better. Every single person in SFT needs to do better. That includes me, Jude, Jackson, Rumpke, Emerson, everyone! Not just one or two of us but every single person on the roster. And that day starts now, starts with me and Robert putting on a good show, a great match, and leading by example. Long have I shrugged off my duty here in SFT, but not anymore….not anymore.”
Through the years so many have said that they bled SFT, that they loved SFT. But they dont know what the meaning of that word is. They dont. For them its just words. Not meant to be anything other than words.
But thats not the case for me. Love means more to me, loyalty means more to me, keeping ones word means more ta me. It dont make me any better, just means I do more when I can, not only when it suits me.
So basics means what I said it means. Its me and you Robert. One on one, and may the best man win. That a good enough deal for you. I am a man of my word. Because deep down, and all yall listen up, if you are not a man of your word, than you aint a man. Simple as that. You make a promise, ya better damn keep it.
Thats all folks.
