The Past Comes Back

More of the past. It seems that each week, it is another person from the past. Not that I mind, those are a reminder that the past was really good. But the past is the past. What a glorious past it was. (The scene opens up showing him standing in a garage. He has on jeans and a t-shirt, standing in front of a 1970 GTO. The engine purs as he reaches back in under the hood and looks around some more. Nodding his head, he leans back.) Scotty, again man. We have gone down this road many times haven’t we? We have done brutal things to each other, and damn did we enjoy that shit? These last 3 matches have been almost a trip to the past. Mike and Jart, Duck, now you? It is taking me back. (He grins.) I know the past is the past, but as i refleft on my career and move into differnt stages of my life, I have gained more respect for the guys who I have stepped in the ring against back in the day. You see, even though we all wanted to kill each other and end each other’s careers, the end of the day we all had a mutual respect. Now, I feel that the ground breakers, the ones who forged these roads for the younger generation of stars to ride down..I feel that we all have a earned each others respect. (He looks into the camera.) I’ve never been one for the theatrics. I just go out there and lay it all on the line and put up a fight with everyone, so I will not put on some stage show to somehow gain people to pay more attention. Folks pay attention to me because once I get into that ring, it is all business. A fight. That is what we are gonna do Scotty. Fight. Like we have done before, many times…in the past. See ya in the ring my man…. (He walks around the outside of the car. Smiling at his work, he slides his hand across the trunk. His grin fades as the scene fades to black)
