My final promo for now guys... enjoy OOC-
Â
Back at my hotel after the PPV, I'm unpacking my bags. Looking obviously a bit frustrated-
* I drink some tea and stare off into the distance*
*Layla comes into the room, and she's quiet and looks at me sorrowfully*
Me: I don't get it, where did I go wrong? This is the latest in a long string of losess and yet no matter what I do, what I say... I have to keep fighting, I've lived my life very differently from the rest of the guys in the WOTU. I've always chosen the right path... haven't I?
*My voice breaks slightly, and Layla puts her arm around me*
*Our tender moment is interrupted, when out of the window. I see Gamer clearly standing in the parking lot. Staring up at the window*
*I look at Layla, and pull the bandanges off my shoulder from my match with Randy earlier. And I get ready to step outside*
Layla: Where are you going? you're hurt. You can barely stand
Me: Layla....look at me in the eyes, You told me once, to forget the past, cause it doesnt matter. But the truth is, Since then, all Ive been thinking of is the past...what once was... so I thought I could only see patches of reality, never the whole picture.
Layla: But don't.. you don't have to do this, you don't have to prove anything to me! I already believe in you! so don't go!
*I glance back at Layla, sort of with this look of closure. And knowing that I'll most likely get hurt even worse but I chose to walk to the door and make my exit
*I stop just short of it*
Me: Promise me you'll stay here, and wait for me..... just whatever happens, stay in the room
Layla nods and turns her head, looking pretty down and sullen*
*Outside Gamer steps into a streelight shadow on the sidewalk and I turn the corner to meet him*
Gamer: Icon It's been awhile....
Me: It has.... did you come all that way to tell me that, or do you have something to say.....
Gamer: It's a shame. I heard what you were saying to Layla and it's true. It really is a shame what happened to your career...
Me: Â Yeah I guess you could say that, You must've gotten tired of collecting pension checks. Because here you are... after your big retirement and everything....
Gamer: You're a funny guy. You know that?
Me: I try, but sometimes Its easier with some people...
*Gamer seems to get a little upset at these last comments but he mantains a calm expression*
Gamer: And it's a shame that we couldn't have faced off. Before your career took a downfall... but that would've just made the downward spiral happen quicker i guess... Â Which is why I'm here to give you a chance to keep the 00.1% of dignity you have left
Me: Couldn't you settle for a smile and a fond farewell? Layla's waiting on me so if you don't mind I'll be going....
Gamer: You really are an expert on walking away from things. Just like you and french got yourselves fired" so go, I guess
Me: And you're an expert at pissing people off...
Gamer: Bye Icon. It's been great seeing you but, I've got other more important things to do. Even being around you depresses me and I've got a title shot to get ready for....
Me:Â Yeah, I'll keep that little pearl of wisdom in mind.... anyways if you'll see yourself away from our hotel window that'd be great...... Â *As I turn to walk away Gamer springs up and attacks me, with brass knuckes wrapped tightly on his fist! he punches me hard in the face and jaw, bloodying it. *And shoves a brick onto my leg and jumps on it as I scream out in intense pain. He then does the same again, and i write on the ground in pain* And then he takes the brick and does the same to my right arm, stomping on it with the brick placed on it!* and my face bleeding heavily* *Gamer walks off and grins back at me*
Gamer: Always a pleasure seeing you too....Icon....
*Later on after I've barely managed to regain consciousness, I Â hardly manage to limp and still bleeding, I move closer to the hotel porch and near it is a cross hanging on the door that I stare up at for a moment*
*I place my hands together and pray by the cross
Me: I hope you don't mind me coming to you like this..... Â
I've never actually made a confession before. it's these times we live in.... just this crazy world....  I did what it took to get ahead at any cost.that's how I always justified my actions..... . I hurt many people.... All that time believing there was no other way. My sins are so heavy. Too heavy. Too heavy to ever atone for...... And yet, somehow I feel happy. At peace with myself today. It really can be done! Once you stop to think about it, there are plenty of ways to have success on a different path  Why didn't I see that before it was too late ...
If I could start all over again. I'd like to have had a career where life could've been easier. Somehow... some way I could've done things differently... and brought something positive....I Was everything I did in my career and life a mistake? Would I be wrong now, to ask for your forgiveness?
*I fall to the porch then, collapsed from my injuries and blood loss*
*The Camera pans shows Layla, crying after seeing what happened. As she sits in the hotel room and falls on the bed in tears
*And it slowly, silently fades away*Â
