Hopin' For The Best RP 1/3? - Barney Green - 09-28-2016
I wish I could turn back the hands of time but I cannot do it. I am broken down. Barely able to walk some days yet I keep moving forward. Against the odds, I manage to succeed.
Competing for the Heavymetalweight Championship is gonna be fun. I have held that belt before. Jamaican Jimmy stands no chance. Tommy Wish? He is gonna wish he wasn't in this match. This is my time to shine. At 32, I gotta call my shots wisely and I am doing that right now. Shaun Crowe. You don't intimidate me whatsoever.
Four men on Savage competing for one title. That title is gonna be mine. I am hoping for the best but expecting the worst. You never go into a match expecting to win right off the bat because that is a recipe for disaster. My body may be aching from this schedule of wrestling but I can still go the distance.
My mind is in tune with my body and I know what my body can withstand. I wish I was young forever but it's not gonna happen. As the years go by, I have seen people pass away due to this business. Seen people come and go yet I have consistently stayed despite not being the best wrestler in the world.
I had that same dream again last night. I got to see the people I truly care about in this world that are no longer with me. Foley Anderson who was like a father to me and took me under his wing. The countless hours I spent in the ring training with him have paid off. Uncle Norm. I wish he could have seen what his nephew truly accomplished. I am an icon in Boston. Something that I never thought would happen.
I shouldn't be at this level yet I made it. I proved to everybody that I am good enough. No matter how many times life slaps me across the face, I will prevail. If you truly take a good hard look at the facts, I shouldn't even be wrestling. Badly damaged right knee. Barely able to walk. Over three hundred pounds. Only five-ten. A short and fat brawler from Boston that is still going? How am I even still in this business?
Hard work and dedication. I wrestle a smart style unlike some of these idiots nowadays who want to fly off the top rope like its spectacular when all it is bullshit. I dare the next idiot to try to fly off the top rope during a barbed wire rope match. Won't work. While they are trained at using their speed to try to slow me down, I just absorb their damage and when they tire out, I go in for the kill.
I am retiring come December thirty-first from active competition. I can't compete forever. I might as well live out the rest of my life in comfort at home and do autograph signings and appearances in my area instead of doing this. I also got People Power Academy to keep me busy.
Until then, The show goes on and I keep moving forward despite being in pain. Later, XWF.
