How Can I start this New Path With A Bang!?

Let's See...

I’m at a point in my career now… a point I’ve never really imagined. I’ve never actually fathomed starting anew, and yet, that is exactly where I’m at right now. It’s almost as if I’ve had my slate completely washed; it’s almost as if I’m in a brand new universe and I’ve got to stake my claim.

As far as my career goes, I am known only by reputation; while no one can truly guarantee I will actually pan out, some can tell that I am one who will stick. I’ve been told that throughout my career, really… I’ve been told that, if given the right circumstances, I could be something special. Perhaps the Indy promotion I was in was not the best atmosphere for that personal growth… perhaps it truly was an aberration that I didn’t become a household name.

However Luke, perhaps my wins were the true aberration; who knows? The only thing that is certain as of right now is that my excuses have run dry… You see Luke, I have no more room to vouch for my shortcomings for this is the exact opposite of my previous situation; this is the polar opposite, the figurative bizzaro-world of wrestling. No longer is my employer moving in a different direction than me… no, I can prove my worth myself.

However, It’s amazing, really… Luke.. Really! It took me quite a bit to convince myself to go about this change.

You see… when I start over, when I begin anew, I can't be certain I will ever be the same. That really goes for anyone… if you think about it. Who’s to say you will make the same decisions given a second chance? Who can guarantee when you start anew that everything will be like it was before… only better? Who can guarantee it will be better? After all, upon starting anew, aren’t you a different person? It’s like an amnesiac Luke.. being reintroduced to the world; do your memories make you or do you have an innate… soul, for lack of a better term.

Stay with me for a second… Luke, don’t answer hastily. Most of you will run ahead and say, “Of course we have an innate sense.” However, I’d beg to differ.

Now, let’s bring this back a little… was that whole discussion philosophical enough for you? Now ask me… Luke, how the fuck does this relate to you? It’s not even as if I changed a professional career; I simply jumped over to another hurdle of much the same. The answer is right in front of your noses, really. The fact of the matter is that nothing I have ever done matters anymore. I have to prove myself to an entirely new group of people and frankly, I could go either way right now. Some may see potential in me; I laugh, since I cannot see these flashes of brilliance. I am just another man… I am just a poor, lost soul on the route to his final destination. I don’t have direction right now and frankly, it’s about time I stopped getting turned around and started getting back to what I know I can do. But, I am sure you will be wondering.. Where I come from, what have I done. Many wrestlers in the past come out and brag about this past history..

So I ask...

Does it truly matter where I’ve been? Does it truly matter what I’ve done? I suppose to certain people, it matters quite a bit… but to others, to those I haven’t given any kind of impression, it matters not what I’ve done but what I’m about to do. From here on out, I’ve got to prove what I am, who I am… of what I am made. There is no other way to do that than to plainly come out and show; I know no better way than to simply prove to everyone that I am something special, that I have a rare talent which has been bestowed upon me and only me. This is what I have been told… and I’m now out to prove it. This new beginning will prove to be good for me, I believe; I cannot afford to rest on my laurels, to sit on my high horse… for I will be knocked down quicker than I can begin to speak. And no matter how much you ask yourself, It's MY Destiny, not your's to succeed with great power and success here in UWA. Now ask yourself, how does this relate too you?

This relates, in several ways, to the way I’ve been living recently. It seems that my slate has needed cleaning for some time now; several factors have trapped me and not allowed it to occur. Do I have a false sense of loyalty? Should I even begin to walk down that path? Perhaps another time, for my patience wears thin. Perhaps that is something into which I need to look… however, the hour draws near and I can’t afford to waste time. I’m late… I’ve taken far too long to get to this point. Perhaps I’ve been impeded, perhaps not; does it really matter? I’m here now and it’s time… it’s time for me to show everyone what I’ve got. It’s time to start over, to begin again, to prove myself. It’s time… It’s past the time. It’s now.

...It’s all I can allow…

So Luke, ask your self. Like everyone in my past, the ones that have fallen accomplished two thing's against me.. “Tap like a woodpecker...” Or your favorite.. “Squeal like a pig!”
