I find myself at a local toy store. Been looking for a birthday present for my son.
He’s turning 9 already. But I am not sure what to get. He’s too big for stuffed animals. Too small for a board game. We dont have an xbox or a playstation. So I am considering getting him an action figure. But which one? They have some real nice DC ones, batman, and superman, aquaman. There really arent that many DC ones but they look really nice. Then there are the Marvel ones and of those there are so many. All the Avengers ones, Spiderman, Xmen, the list goes on. I decide to get him the Superman. Why? Cause I sure as heck am not Superman, but honestly, Superman is someone to look up to, even though he is fictional, what he stands for is real. He believes in doing the right thing, living life the right way, doing the right thing isnt a way of life, its a conscious choice, one we should all strive to be. Plus I think he’ll really like it.
I pick up the toy and go pay for it. 18.99 is its price, so taxes rounds it off to 20 bucks and I am on my way home. And on my way home I start to think of my upcoming match. It is against Redd and Robert Saints. All I could think when I saw that was “why me?”. Both of those guys are extremely extremely difficult, Redd has become pretty much unbeatable, and when I think about it, he’s been that way all his career. Robert on his best day is right up there, thing is he has to want to be that way.
And to top it all off its a triple threat. I feel like a small shrimp in a tank with two great white sharks. I dont stand a chance in hell.
:Laughing:
but when have I ever stood a chance in hell? And how many times have I won matches I should of lost. Too many to count I would say. So I am the underdog, I wouldnt have it any other way.
I wonder what it would be like to be Redd? To have been around so long, faced so many people from that glorious past and be the last one left? I think it would get kind of lonely? I think you would start to feel like a long gone relic. Everyone having moved on, people he knew got married, became parents, moved off to new jobs and forgot SFT ever existed, others not as lucky passed away, and Redd still remains. I dont fear him, I feel sorry for him. How could you not? Just listen to him, you can tell he’s unhappy. A part of me thinks he wishes it was his time already so he could be reunited with his family and friends. But I dont want that, call me selfish but I need him around. Him and Jude both. I need them to guide the way. To show us true north, help us find our way home. Because when they are gone I do not see anyone else picking up the reigns. And I am very afraid of what would happen to the rest of us once they are gone.
Now onto Robert Saints. Robert is a complicated person. Much like a viper. Snakes are scary things, they can hurt you in ways never thought. They will haunt your memories and your nightmares. But we always fear what we dont understand. And we certainly dont understand snakes or Robert. I think a part of him probably likes that. If no one can get inside his mind, then no one can figure him out. That makes sense. But Robert has lost his snake like abilities hahaha. He isnt scary anymore, and thats on him. He needs to find himself and be the wrestler we all knew and saw when he first got here. He needs to get back to being great.
I guess that is all I have for today.
