We open up in a bar where family and their friends are enjoying their Christmas vacation together, basically getting smashed since they haven't met one another for either a year or more. Chances are they'll wake up in the morning next to their mother, father, sister, brother, aunt, uncle or cousin. Face it, people this far down south don't exactly have to drink too much for that to happen. They're inbred, case closed.
Sitting off by himself, remaining quite reclusive in the bar is Davidson. He's got a 40 oz bottle of Captain Morgan and several shot glasses. A couple of them are containing the liquor whilst a couple others are obviously empty. He downs one shot of the alcohol and takes a deep breath, noticing that the cameras are nearby. As they pan towards him, he fixes his posture and grins.
Davidson: "Grand, the Holidays are coming and it seems that there's no wrestling federation about intent on having the wrestlers give one another ass-kickings as gifts. While W2K is independent and strong once again, people such as myself are anxiously waiting for it to kick-off so we can finally tattoo our bodies with cuts, scars and bruises. It's been a long while... for all of us... and I'm sure some of us haven't lost a beat in this industry. There's always that talk about ring-rust being a huge factor in returning matches, but for the lot of us, we've left and came back so much that we're rust-proof and can come back stronger each and everytime from absence that lasted any length of time. Myself? I don't get rusty, I just lose motivation and care about the sport time and time again. It's happened to be everywhere, the only real problem with my motivation is that it takes awhile to come back to where it belongs. It might take a week, a month or even a year. I've gone a long time with no motivation. Fuck, I got bored with my life and soon enough it put me in a depression where I found drug use was the only way to get me out. But I'm over that now, the young and fresh Davidson you once knew years ago has matured and gotten older with time and the nasty experiences every second had brought me."
He shrugs his shoulders, obviously hinting at what nasty experiences he had in the past with him. So much to recollect and remember, but he would rather not. Moving on is the best thing he can do so he can't get himself caught in the past again. He's overcome a couple addictions that kept him down for far too long. He doesn't want to be like Jesus, he doesn't want nails in his hands and feet keeping him stuck in the same spot until he dies.
Davidson: "I've disappointed so many people that taught me what I had to know, plus I've also disappointed myself by knowing that. I was ashamed of what I've done in the past and I'd like nothing more than to build a time machine and go back, stopping myself from making my handful of mistakes. But what can I do about it? Nothing but correct what has to be, and what has to be corrected can fuck right off. I'm not a junkie anymore, correction made. I might not be able to kick that habit that has been bothering me for almost the past two years, but I've been clean for a few months so far and I plan on staying clean forever. But drug addiction isn't what I'm getting at, and neither is the rest of my substance abuse. I'm just eager to change my attitude and personality for the better. Taking shit? Not my style anymore, folks. If my name's dropped and people go out and slander my name longer than they should have, you can guarantee that I'll have something to say to them and give them a few things to think long and hard about. Doesn't matter if you're a friend of mine, somebody I've known for most of my life or not - watch what you spew out of your mouth. Whatever it is, it's just not gonna to fly with me in your proximity."
Taking another shot of the Captain Morgan, he observes his shot glasses and grabs the neck of the 40 oz bottle, filling them back up again. He's already feeling buzzed at the moment, so he's on the path of getting smashed. Hangovers suck pretty bad, but he's lucky enough not to get them too often. It's usually only when he's puking while drinking, and eh, that doesn't happen much, either.
Davidson: "There's also the plan of moving forward. Obviously, that's all of our plan and has been from the get-go, but I've obviously been focusing on lame things that got me nowhere in the past. Solution to the problem? I totally know, and it's not to waste time on something that doesn't deserve the fuckin' attention. The Reckless Championship was all fine and dandy in Fans Wrestling Alliance, but did it benefit me any in the long run? Of course not. However, that can be disputed since FWA wasn't exactly the best wrestling federation at booking their superstars. One week you could be going towards the World Heavyweight Championship, then the next week Conflict would be postponed for a month. When you return, new management would forget who you were and then once more, you would have to start climbing from the bottom. Nothing there was ever guaranteed for you or anybody, promises were kept. If I was management, I'd just make the slogan "we etch our guarantees in styrofoam," because I'd just love to break everybody's future in half right in front of them. But you shouldn't lose your cool over it, your future wouldn't last long anyways and if it did, nobody would remember."
Some hostile words towards FWA, a company Davidson worked at for two-and-a-half years. That was nearly half of his wrestling career and he was probably going to be there longer than he already was had it not shut down recently. It's great that it did, though, since a lot of people will be happier with themselves and not be lost in the dark like they were for however long. Davidson has found the light.
Davidson: "I've always looked down on Wrestling 2000 and didn't understand the big hype about it. To me it looked like a wrestling federation that so many people were wasting their time in, only to get fed to the hungry dogs that constantly tread on the battle grounds. Now that I'm here again, I'm starting to understand a little bit more than I used to. The management here is a big deal, they know how to take this sport seriously and book somebody accordingly to how much they deserve it. A lot of the top guys here have been busting their asses and made their dedication to the sport and federation evident for a long period of time, enough to have the management take notice to it. I might not have shown any great deal of dedication towards W2K or the wrestling circuit in the past few years, but as I said earlier, I've got a problem with being motivated enough. And I know. I know for a damn fact that W2K will rekindle my love for this sport I once had back in two-thousand and six. Only difference is between '06 and '09 is that this time I will stand out and shine brightly unlike I ever have in my career. Rather than falling to the big guys and remaining a failure, I will be one of those big guys and prevail, overcoming any and every obstacle I've got put in front of me."
He has overcome quite a few obstacles in the past, but since it's his objective to forget about the past, he'll act as if some of it has never happened. He might bring up the past, his wins, but he won't want to relive those days and be a five time Reckless champion or any other nonsense he already was. He wants something new, something strange and unordinary this time around. He's hunting.
Davidson: "Everything you've known about me before, forget about it, that doesn't matter anymore. This is my new beginning and I'm reinventing who I was. A clean new slate for myself is something I'm looking forward to having, a new impression that I will give everybody might be the best thing to ever happen to me. My past and history was rather embarassing and I'm unfortunately letting it slow my progression down. Well fuck it. You've known me as the Feature Presentation, you've known me as the Silver Bullet. Not anymore, I'm trying to find out who I really am this time. It's going to be a long and strenuous search and discovery, or is it? It may not be as difficult as I think it will be, I've learned a lot in my career to not fuck up again during some big decisions. I'll conclude this promo by saying you don't know me. Clean slate, new self. No name changes needed, this time. Gimmicks aren't my style, either. Don't bother wishing me luck, you already know I'm going to do better than expected."
Grabbing a shot glass, he downs it and points to the camera as they know it's their cue to fade out. His new found attitude may stir up some controversy with some, they might even try to mention for the simple fact of seeing how he retaliates towards them. It's going to be interesting from here, for him, and a few others. Let's just see. Let's just see...
