“But Jonah ran away from the LORD and headed for Tarshish . He went down to Joppa, where he found a ship bound for that port. After paying the fare, he went aboard and sailed for Tarshish to flee from the LORD.” (Jonah 1:1)
(Senester):Save your friend? You confuse professional respect with something entirely different Mr. McNeil but let us see the world from behind your eyes momentarily. At Road to Ruin you will enter World Heavyweight Champion, and somewhere in this confrontation you propose to “save” Talon Wilkinson by beating some sense in to him I assume. In the end, when you stand victorious, your arm will be raised and with your contract then expired you will take your final curtain bow as undefeated HWA World Heavyweight Champion and escape from the sinking ship. I admit…it is a glorious vision. How better to cement a legacy than to pull a so-called friend from your perception of hell, and to walk away from it a champion, a hero, and a living legend. A glorious vision indeed, but that is not what is going to happen.
You will no doubt enter as HWA World Heavyweight Champion, but that is where your vision ends. You cannot save Talon, for I have already done so. I have delivered him from his human-inherited reliance on friends, on family, on fans and students. Who are you in comparison but a sidecar pal worthy only of a few training matches, a few beers and a few laughs? What love have you given greater than mine? What gifts have you given that nurture his mind, his body and his soul that I have not in greater quantity and quality? Save your friend? Save him from what? A life of opulence, of knowledge, of resources that push the limits of science, law and all humanity? I won’t allow you to convert him back to the social norm, the status quo boy next door that is just good enough, but never great. You are not the best wrestler in the world, and you will know it when you leave Road to Ruin without the gold.
How apropos your contract ends at the ppv, “with the final bell” as you put it…when you no longer have the gold that helps define who you want to be in this business, in this “sinking ship.” Yet, your heart and your soul is bored. No…Ronnie McNeil it’s not the ship…it’s the captain…it’s the reigning World Heavyweight Champion. It’s the man who has held that gold for months now that has failed to motivate. Not even Talon is wholeheartedly keyed up to face you. You call me the self-proclaimed be-all-end-all when that is who you yourself envision yourself to be. The man no one can beat, the greatest of all time, the man who no one can motivate, the man who could care less about the gold, the man who doesn’t care what anyone else thinks, the man utterly bored because no one is worth his time. Be-all-end-all Mr. McNeil? Me? If that helps you validate yourself then it is the greatest ignorance the human mind can have next to Alzheimer’s, congratulations to you in its bliss. “With the final bell”…you may make your alleged great escape Ronnie McNeil but when you cross these dark, turbulent waters you will find this storm, as those before it, and those yet to come…weathered in due time.
As far as this ridiculous court case is concerned I don’t need your luck. We have a substantial legal team with the situation well in hand, and we will victor no matter how long it takes, no matter what surprise witnesses appear perhaps such as yourself…so willing to give testimony once removed from the so-called horrors of HWA so soon to forget their own part in its history.
And this match that you think I’m supposedly too scared to make. I assume it is your name next to mine, and while we have waged battle before non have been as epic as it could be. You should be grateful for that, or that “final bell” would have come some time ago for you. I let you go when you stole my property in your little orchestrated truck heist containing my sun stone. I said then that we had unfinished business, and it would appear after Road to Ruin that we shall continue to. Do not think that because your contract has expired, that because you may no longer have a check that bares my signature that you are beyond my reach. HWA is a fantastic organization, but as you know, it is but a small part of the Dark Horse portfolio and far from the only means in getting to you in the future.
Road to Ruin it shall be Ronnie McNeil, the end of an era, the end of a legacy. I cannot say your absence will not go unnoticed, but how unfortunate that after all these years, you have not come to know the Lord… it took a great fish for Jonah. Let us rejoice when your own revelation comes.
