TRIPLE T: Several months ago, I stood in this very spot.
Triple T stands before the entrance to the LDFC training facility with his gear bag over his shoulder.
TRIPLE T: I remember standing here staring at the door wondering what I would find on the other side. Who would I meet? Was I making the biggest mistake of my life? I mean I literally walked away from friends and family, took everything I owned and came to a state I had never been in to do something I wasn’t even sure I was ready to do. There was a whole new world on the other side of these doors and the feeling of excitement and mixed with fear was overwhelming.
I remember walking in finally and there only being a couple of others there. We all sat silently watching trainee after trainee entered for the first time. And more than anyone else, I remembered the first time I saw Nest walk in. When that guy entered a room you felt it. His presence was unavoidable. And I knew that my one primary goal to making it in this league was to keep up with him.
And now here we are, pretty much everyone that walked in that door on that day is gone. Some just couldn’t cut it. Others injured, taken out by the more ruthless competition. But one thing has remained the same. Nest…and me working to keep up with him. We worked our way from the beginner’s class to the advanced class. We became fan favorites. Recognition in and out of the ring. I became the “Pride of the LDFC”…and he became the champion.
Triple T looks away from the doors for a moment. Takes a deep breath and starts again.
TRIPLE T: And what an amazing champion you are Nest. You took a hold of the APEX title and you never looked back. Challenger after challenger have come in…and challenger after challenger have been taken out. You have already cemented your place as one of the LDFC’s greatest. But I have worked my way to the top win lose or draw. I have taken on the best that this place has had to offer and I am still here. You may be the champion but I have carried this place on my back since day one. I have gone out there and did my best to entertain and wow the LDFC fans. I became the face of the company and of all the things you have done since you and I walked through these doors, the one thing you have not done…is BEAT ME!
Nest I have nothing but respect for you and I will always consider you a friend. And you have an impressive list of “victim” in your wake. But I am not now nor will I ever be a victim and at Welcome to the Serengeti I will climb that mighty tree, I will walk into your “nest” and I will walk out the new LDFC Apex Champion.
You and me we built this place…now it’s time to tear it down.
With that Triple T adjusts his gear bag before walking into the LDFC Center.
