Well well well, how the tide has turned. When I first arrived in SFT I was recruited to be part of The Wall. You all remember that stable? Well I turned them down, twice actually. Reason being I wanted to stand on my own two feet, sink or swim it would be all on me and not someone else.
And through good times and bad times I stood and fell on my own. I always picked myself back up. And wouldn't you know somehow or other I made it through. I found my own way in life and in SFT. With nobody’s help. Saw a lot of people go and others we lost. And through a rain soaked heart or a bludgeoned soul. I still remain. We still remain.
My goal has never been to be the very best. Never has been. My goal was always to try a new path. Try something different. Be better than I have been. Be better than I am. But that has always been the catch with me hasn't it? We work through the things in our lives in the very ring we fight in. Whether we’re working through feelings of regret and loss, or anger and hatred. We work all that stuff out in the ring. Its better than paying for a shrink.
So here I stand SFT world champion. Maybe the last world champion this place ever has. And if that is the plan then I am OK with it. I am OK with whatever plan god has for me.
So now let me talk about Jack Jones. You were the one who tried to recruit me for The Wall. You have always been a good guy to me. But this is business. You are my opponent. I am supposed to work to keep this title and not lay down for whoever may come out of that ramp way.
Last month it was Redd. And he was everything and a bag of chips. The man is old, he’s lost a step, but even on his worse day he is my equal. And that match showed that. Yes I helped him back, but its better to help than hurt the very foundation on which we still rest.
So Jack I know you have always been here, lost a father, lost brothers to time and entropy. But you are a rock as well. Always chugging along and while some may laugh at you. Brother I do not. What use it is being called Nirvana, Big T, Annika, Switchblade, Myris, if they have never shown an ounce of loyalty to anyone but themselves. Yes yes I know its complicated. But its really not. You take care of those who look up to you, and you don't take care of impersonal strangers who are just spoiled millenials. Stand for something.
And I guess I will stop this here and now. Goodluck to you Jack.
Fade to black.
