So the living legend Redd has come back home. Good to see you too Redd. But why now? Maybe I should ask Jude. You are not just a legend you are well into mythical status now. And Glenn Owen is on his way to that status pretty soon.
But back to you. Redd you are a dinosaur. But I say that in the best of ways. You are a creature that has outdone everyone, outlasted everyone and sadly outlived most. And I know a part of you just wants a little peace. Wants to rest and maybe forget. Maybe get some sort of life?
I honestly don't know. I don't know what someone like you would want. I have no clue. You don't have family, you don't have many friends as you pointed out. And the one friend you had you lost. Your world, you life must be an empty one. And I am sorry for that.
But you musnt put your own objectives on me. If I retired as you suggested and just walked away I would be disrespecting this title, and everyone whose ever been in SFT. What kind of a man and champion would I be if I simply said I'm done and walked away.
For so long I have been trying to strive to be a good man. How good of a man would I be if I simply quit and walked away? It would go against everything I stand for. And maybe I don't stand for much, but what I do stand for matters, it matters to me. How would I be able to look at myself in the mirror if I did what you asked? How would I be able to look at my son?
I cant. I just cant. I am sorry Redd. I know in your own ways you are looking out for me. But I cant. I just cant.
So do your worse. Teach me your lessons. It wont matter. I do want to take the time to say thank you for making this match non title. I have a feeling you had your hand in that. You, Jude, Harold, maybe all three of you. Letting me keep this title a little bit longer. I appreciate that.
I think in a lot of ways, something I see that SFT lacks is manners. Rarely do I see anyone say please or thank you. I don't understand why though. Are we rude? No we are not. But some believe that good manners is stupid or a sign of weakness. It is neither.
I guess maybe I was raised in a different time. The world is different now. But that doesn't mean I have to forget things that were instilled in me. I pass along these features to my son. And hope they live on with him as well.
So I will say it again. Thank you Redd for the chance to go on a few more weeks. Thank you Redd for your advice. And most of all thank you for always having been there for SFT. Few will ever really realized all that you have given up for three simple letters. But those few who do know, will know it forever. You fought for what you thought was right and didn't leave, didn't betray, didn't fold, and most of all you didn't back down from what you knew to be right. That says a lot.
Thank you.
