The scene begins outside the Georgia Dome in Atlanta, GA on a sunny, southern day a few days before the New Year Bash Pay-Per-View. Ricky Steamboat is here, dressed in a grey hooded sweatshirt, blue jeans, and wearing a red headband. He's staring off into the distance, his breath visible in the cool January air. He continues staring as he talks. Steamboat: Last week, Cesaro gave me a tremendous match for my first showing here in Franchise Wrestling Inc. I felt truly alive for the first time in a long time, and it reminded me of my classics of old. So now, here I am, halfway through a long jog of multiple laps around this arena, eager to feel that rush of adrenaline again come this Sunday night, when I participate in the Battle Royal to determine the inaugural FWI World Heavyweight Champion at the New Year Bash. Steamboat contemplates for a bit before turning to the camera. Out of all of the Battle Royals I've ever participated in, this one is, without a doubt, the most important. Winning this Battle Royal would not only prove that I am the best of the best in FWI, but it also proves that I am still able to compete at the same level I did all those years ago. This is the chance to cement my legacy as one of the greatest of all time. Steamboat looks down at the ground a bit. A bit of disdain comes across his face. You know, I hate to admit it... but it has always bothered me deep down inside. I put on a trio of fantastic matches with Ric Flair, and Flair is the one who's more highly regarded. I put on a legendary match with Randy Savage at Wrestlemania 3, and Savage is the one who's considered a household name. I have won the NWA World Heavyweight Championship, yet am often not spoken of in the same breath as men like Sting or Dusty Rhodes. It's eaten away at me for so many years that I have been apart of so many moments that are considered the greatest in wrestling history, yet I am always "the other guy." I know this isn't the smiling, respectful Ricky Steamboat that everyone is used to, but this has driven me for over a decade to add more to my legacy. Sunday is that chance. Sunday I add to my legacy a win over the best and brightest in FWI, and I become the FWI World Heavyweight Champion. My name will become synonymous with Franchise Wrestling Inc, and spoken in the same breath whenever this company's history and championship are brought up. Steamboat puts his head in his hands. He looks defeated, as if he's mad at himself for letting this side of himself get the best of him. I know it sounds selfish of me... to be so engulfed by this jealousy of wanting to be a bigger legend... but, I have to do this, for me. Just this once, I have to prove to myself that I can do this; that I deserve to be held in the same regard as Hulk Hogan, The Ultimate Warrior, and Andre the Giant; an all-time great that even those who've never even watched wrestling know of. I... I have to do this. I have to... I just have to. Steamboat sighs, knowing that this isn't the man he's supposed to be. He isn't being the positive, competition-loving man that fought for dignity and what's right; he's trying to fulfill a selfish goal to satiate his jealousy. Steamboat holds his head up, and starts to jog again. The camera watches him as he moves further away, slowly fading out. |
