It is Christmas eve. A most wonderful day. I have always been a Christmas guy. I dont have a lot of funds to work with. But I do ok I think. This year I bought my son some Nerf gun he really liked. They shoot foam so I know its safe. Also got him a few action figures. For my sister I got her some books, she loves reading romance novels and I got a whole bunch at the second hand book store. I got a few other odds and ends for a few friends and that was it. I saved a few bucks for new years as I gift to myself a six pack.
Tonight we will go to church. Eat some tamales that some people bring for everyone. We will sing a few carols and we will retire home. I am old fashioned and we do not open presents till Christmas day. That is how its always been that is how its gonna stay. I cant stand people opening presents on Christmas eve. That's like cheating.
Anyway I guess that is a little bit about me. So a few weeks ago I claimed the SFT world title. Whoo, I gotta say I was surprised. I did a little dance afterwards. Celebrated a little by going to Burger King. Haha, I sure know how to party dont I? But as fate would have it, I am not defending the title in my first match. But I am facing a monster of a man. The one and only Redd. Redd you are the last of a dying breed. The last in a long line of living breathing legends. Dinosaurs some call you, but you are way more than that, you are the last of the myths, stories we tell our young ones about the greatest days of our sport. Let me say thank you for being you. If for no other reason than for keeping that fire burning when all other lights went out.
Now all that being said , Please dont hurt me! Hahaha, will flattery work? I hope so. Redd what could I really say about you? You do a lot for SFT in the ring and behind the scenes. SFT is in a downward spiral no one can deny that. But you, you man are a rock. When everyone is panicking you are steady. You calm everyone, and you lead by example. If we had three other people like you in SFT, forget about it, we’d be rocking and rolling like no ones business. But that's the point, there are no more people like you, unless you count Jude?
But its hard. You guys find strength deep within you that few of us have. You have been with this place what 20 years? You’re like Ric Flair and Hulk Hogan wrapped into one. You have an inner strength that few have. Your loyalty to this place is uncanny. You refuse to leave your home even when all other have. And that my friend says volumes as to what kind of man you are. Those who have hated you, will never be you. They have no honor at least not in the same way you do. You dont mince words, you dont sugar coat, you dont give false praise. With you, you get what you earn and that is it. And thank you for being that way.
This world is getting soft. So very soft. And that soft world is gonna hurt us. Its to the point where I cant even comprehend how people got to be so weak and soft. Its kind of embarrassing actually. But what can I do? What should I do?
This world isn't like it was for you Redd. You punched a nose, made it bleed and then went out for a beer. Like a real man. Not this sisssified world that we have now with hipsters and millenials. Its freaking embarrassing, I mean how are they not embarrassed? How do people go around being wusses and being ok with that?
Remember a while back with all the new people last year or so, when they were like “too much drama, im leaving for fun”, seriously I wanted to slap those people around, I was embarrassed for them. Sad thing was they weren't embarrassed for themselves. Glad they are gone hahaha.
Redd this is it for now. Merry Christmas old friend.
