The scene fades in as the camera feed shows surprisingly not the familiar backstage of the XWA locker room, but a small neighborhood. It shows none other than grand slam champion T.K. as he’s walking down the sidewalk. No anger to be seen surprisingly enough, more so what appears to be sorrow. The former world champion is dressed in a pair of Levi’s and a Shinedown t-shirt. Never the type to be overly formal of course. His ginger hair isn’t spiked up either, trimmed up instead to less than an inch. The big man stops in front of a small town house before turning towards the camera.

“You know, when I first got into this business, I always figured it was just good fun. Competitiveness played a part of course, but in the end, when I got out of highschool, I just wanted something fun to do with my time. I guess you could say I found it. For three years I rampaged through multiple companies. Of course I had to lie to start out, but here I am, a twenty year old with two world titles to his name. Not many can say that. However, I’ve noticed that I’ve gotten pretty low as of late. Losing to Mirage was well enough at Xtrememania. But then to Kenny Kasual in my own kind of environment? No… Then Caleb. The match of a life time. Blown because I couldn’t be assed giving him the respect he deserves. Really makes me wonder why I’m still here. I could have faded away again like I’ve done so many times in the past.”

T.K. sighs, before looking at the town house in front of him. As if it’s broken his current train of thought. He stares at it for a moment before shaking it off and getting back to his comments.

“Instead though, here I am. Simply on a small break before King of Xtreme, with another chance at world title gold in my future if I play my cards right. And yet, why can’t I muster the motivation to act like it means something to me? That month when I held the tag, intercontinental and XWA championships at the same time was one of the greatest things that ever happened to me. And yet now I can’t even pretend to care about any of this. I just keep looking back at the past as if it’s the present. Ever since CENSORED I’ve just been a raging bull in the china shop that is XWA. One that overstayed his welcome. I became a Grand Slam Champion despite that, but even that accolade felt tainted, as if it doesn’t really matter. There are so many things left in my career to do, but no inspiration, no desire to go forth with any of it. I can’t even bring myself to want to face Mack for fucks sake!”

The mention of his bitter rivals name seems to be enough to make the Crimson Giant’s blood boil, but surprisingly enough he keeps himself in check. As if he has more important things on his mind than a mere blood feud.

“For all these years I’ve just been a petty asshole, even the times when I let the support of wrestling fans to push me further I was never really all that kind. Just an angry giant unwilling to do anything but destroy. Very few have gotten to know me as a result, and most of them have turned their backs on me as the years go by. Rellim for instance, I remember a time when I would say he was my best friend, but I let my arrogance destroy that while I was in CENSORED and tossed him to the side. Danny and Mirage were friends, but that died along with CENSORED itself. Downed in the flames of competitive spirit. Now here I am, all on my own. Back to back losses, no reason to go on. Yet here I am, still under contract, still obligated to go to that squared circle yet again.”

T.K. has a bit of a sad face on now as he says this, as if he’s ready to move on, but feels chained to the grounds that are his legal responsibilities.

“Three years ago I was a high schooler fiddling around with mixed martial arts, finally having the ability and size to really matter. No longer was I just some small weak kid. I was the new jock, the new blood. I made people respect me or they learned the hard way. And I’ve continued that up to this point. I mentioned that I lost quite a few friends along the years. Yet even before that I pushed my own little brother away from me out of petty jealousy. Something I doubt he’ll ever forgive me for… I imagine that I’ll travel down the conclusion to that road in time though. So why am I doing this? Why not just tell Smoke to just let me go? I doubt he’d mind, him and his brother aren’t exactly the kind to care whether or not I’m going to be there.

“No, that would be a stupid mistake. Mother always told me I shouldn't burn bridges, and yet I think I went out of my way to burn every bridge I ever had. Kind of sad to have so many regrets before I’m even old enough to drink. I guess now is the time to fix that. You see, I came from nothing. I grew up in this little town house you see in front of me in a neighborhood where it wasn't uncommon to hear gun shots and see people arrested at least once a week. Sure not the worst neighborhood in the country, but the fact I grew up here and got where I am today should mean something. I forgot where I came from before I even left. I was never a gangster, I was the kid who went out and made trouble elsewhere. I think it’s about time I finally grow up and move on. I’m not the same kid I was three years ago. I’ve grown, I’ve learned. It’s not just about wins and gold anymore. It’s about being myself and saying fuck it to whoever wants to try and stop me.”

The Evolution of Man finally cracks a grin now as he thinks about what he just said. As if even he doesn't quite believe it.

“I guess that’s all to say about it. I’m done being the asshole people hate. It’s time I find something to do aside from beating up everyone who say something I don’t like. Maybe then I’ll feel like I’ve really done something.”

As he says this, T.K. turns away from the house, as if he’s accepted it. However in the background there’s simply a lone figure standing, watching the former world champion walk away. The man has short brown hair, and is dressed fairly similar to T.K. A pair of jeans, and a t-shirt, which sports the look of a dragon. The Crimson Giant of course doesn’t notice as the screen fades away.
