Despite what happened on October 13, 2012 in Deer Park, Long Island, NY, Professionalism will never die.
Beyond Wrestling, I tried. I really did. I went out of my way to show the world that everyone needs Professionalism in it. I had a Professional Revolution with a group of men that I thought would lead me to springboard to other levels of wrestling to save the combatants inside of the squared circle, as well the companies themselves. I thought I could have saved Dan Barry once and for all with my brash tactics and show the world that if HE could change his words and his philosophies, then EVERYONE would change. I had the vision.
Ultimately, no one got MY meaning. The wrestlers thought it was an opportunity to springboard ME to greater and grander spots in their wrestling companies. My words were heeded and not listened to. I was simply just a revolutionary who was used for his dedication to his craft for others’ personal gains.
Maybe my first foray into leading a charge failed. Maybe I was a martyr for proof that the world of wrestling and life needed to change, and no one wanted to listen.
Or maybe, it was a sign of things to come.
I had Denver rocking. I had Barry rolling. I had people worried. I had the masses booing at my truth. THEY KNEW I was right. And that’s what wrong with this world. People are about individual gain, not about team success. It is no longer that culture on when people said “There is no I in TEAM.” You know why?
Because there’s ME instead.
