There is no better place to think and gather yourself and your thoughts than taking a long drive. The quiet helps. At least it does for me. And I need all the help I can get. That is no lie. Sometimes I think I was cursed at birth. Haha. (no smile from Emerson)
The scene is Austin. Emerson is driving back home after having spent the weekend with his cousin Sophia. One of many cousins but the only one he was ever really close to. He and his son are going back home, today is MLK, he had the day off from school and so did Em. His son is asleep in the back seat with two seat belts strapped to him. It was a good weekend her daughters got along well with him since they are close to his age and they never treat him bad or think of him as special.
His mind wanders off to SFT and his upcoming match. He doesn't know what to think honestly. He cant believe he got past Jamo. It was pure luck and not much of anything else. He has always been a bit lucky when it came to wrestling. And the luck he never had in his life outside the ring its been made up for in the ring. He’s had every title there is to have in SFT. And he counts his blessings for that and then some.
He looks back at his son and he is still sleeping. Good. Eyes back on the road, long ways to go before home. He likes driving actually. Helps him focus on things. Get his mind right. Christmas came and went not with a bang but with a whimper. He got his son some cheap dvds mostly cartoons, stuff he likes. Couldn't afford much else. He loved them though. He takes the worst gifts and acts like they are the best. I love him for that. I wish I could give him more and do more for him. But that is my no, that is our life. And we will do the best we can with the cards we have been dealt.
Robert and I have faced many times here. If I didn't know better I would say we’re best pals now. Like distant cousins or pals or stable mates. We know each other very well just not outside SFT. But that's OK. From what I know about him he has had better luck than I. I think he too has held every title if I am not mistaken. He has a better life outside the ring. I am a bet envious for sure. But that is neither here nor there. Its about the here and now. And right now we have both come to the short trip of who will win the vacated IC title. And although I would never wish anyone ill harm nor thoughts. I am in it to win it. Otherwise why else go to the ring and risk life and limb for nothing? Everything we do is for something. And every match we take is for something. This particular time is for a title and that means something, it matters. And that's all that I have to say on that.
Right now I am not in a joking mood. I am focused and I am determined. And I hope that Robert brings his A game, so we can give the fans the match they deserve to see. We owe it to them and most importantly we owe it to ourselves.
May the best man win. Goodluck Robert.
