Still Some Fight Left In This Old Dog
(Scene opens with "The Big Texan" standing in an empty arena, he looks around and stares into the empty seats.)
Hawk: I used to fill these seats up with thousands of a**es. When my music hit and I stepped out and walked to the ring all you could see in the arena was a whole bunch of fans standing screaming "Longhorn, Longhorn, Longhorn" and throwin up some respect to the man. I'll admit I da*n sure ain't as young as I used to be. But when I first started there were the old dogs who carried this business and then when the time came for the young guns to go, those old dogs held em' back. I was one of those young guns at one time, hard to believe ain't it. I see where all you boys are comin from, you see a guy like myself who's had his turn and may not be the most athletic guy or the quickest guy, I'm no Brett Irvine, hell to be honest with ya I ain't no Steven James. But I am Hawk McDaniel, and that means something to a lot of people, especially me. So Showtime, when we go into that ring I'm gonna show everybody that this old dog has a lil somethin left in the tank.
(He walks around and looks into the middle of the arena where an empty ring is set up.)
Hawk: That was my home for alotta years, I've lived, ate, slept, sweat, and bled this business for 15 years. I've heard for the last two years that it's time to hang em up, but everytime I start to, I can't. I see myself standing in the middle of the ring again holding up the Southwestern Regional Championship, the first belt I ever won, and I say Hawk you can be there again. You may not be as young as the new stars but yer one helluva veteran, and if anybody cna do it, I can.
(He looks down at his cowboy boots.)
Hawk: I may not wear a suit and tie, or dress the best, my ring attire may be a lil old, but I've got a few good runs left in me. So this goes out to Showtime and everyone else, I'm ready to be what I was, I'm ready to be the man.
(He walks out of the arena as the camera pans around the empty arena.)
The Legend of the Longhorn now continues...........
