We see Jack in his room packing his clothes for his trip to Atlanta where Titans will be. He will be leaving Sunday night and get there early Monday morning. He puts a couple days worth of clothes, a few jeans, a few shirts, another pair of boots. Enough for a few days and thats it.
“Ya know even after all these years I still get nervous. I still get those butterflies in my stomach. Just like when I first started. (he smiles, a smile thats more for him than the camera) And I hope that never goes away, dunno if any of ya know what I mean? Some might be so weathered n tenured that they dont get that feeling no more, or maybe they do? Who knows. All I know is that I still have them feelings. And its good. It feels good. I used ta be told by old vets back in da day that the moment you dont get nervous or that you dont feel a lil bit o fear then thats when you know its either time to retire or call it a day, cause if ya dont, bad things happen. You start taking things for granted, you start taking risks that you know you shouldnt be taking. I never quite understood all that till recently.”
He finishes packing his back and looks around and double checks his bag, make sure he didnt forget nothing.
“Well Titans is fast approaching and I have yet ta hear a word from our newly crowned world champion. That’s fine, I know he will have plenty ta say. Maybe he’s still out celebrating his first world title reign. But I hope he wakes up soon and realizes he needs ta take me seriously. Or he might find his reign is over before it began. (he chuckles) Well Travis here we are, you and I squaring off again, this time though its not my IC Title on the line, now its YOUR world title. I am the first of many opponents chomping at the bit to get at you. And if ya get past me, a big if might I add, there will be plenty of others waiting in the wings to get at you and that new title of yours. So do not take things for granted, trust me on that. You are a pro, and I am sure you will realize the situation you are in and take appropriate action, well I hope you do before its too late. I know Emerson would like another shot at you this time without anyone interfering, then there is always Twilight, a formidable foe I am sure ya realize. And who knows who else might come out of the woodwork. Some might consider you easy pickins, but they would be wrong. No one holds the world title cause they are soft or easy. I know that for a fact.”
Jack puts his packed knapsack near his door.
“All done. Well I guess thats it for today. I got things to do outside. Gosh its so hot I wish I could just ignore it all and stay inside, ha, but that will never happen. Never. Work never ends, never, nope. NO way, no how.”
He tips his hat to the camera.
