Re: The Legends Week 2 El Cabrón Vs Alex Austin
(FADEIN: ALEX AUSTIN standing in a wrestling ring. He looks left to right, sliding his palm along the ropes)
AUSTIN: So this is it- the place where champions are MADE and UNMADE in the sport they call...PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING. Well I don't see anything PROFESSIONAL about it. And as far as calling it a SPORT goes... (forces a slight laugh) it'd almost be funny...
...if it wasn't so damn INSULTING.
Even the Romans knew how to decipher between SPORT and CIRCUS. Greco-Roman wrestling and other ancient forms of submission grappling, were treated with RESPECT. Taken seriously. Fierce, honest competitors working hard, doing what they love for little to no money.
Then there was GLADIATORIAL COMBAT. Recreation of former battles. Chariot races. Slave versus slave. Slave versus LION. Highly entertaining- but a sideshow all the same. They brought the mob in great numbers, but there was never any QUESTION...as to who the real athletes were.
Today, the distinction between ATHLETE and SIDESHOW has blurred.
I'm here to draw the line.
Because the people need a REMINDER that this...CRAP, is not real sport. It's not real competition. When ALEX AUSTIN, a true submission artist, is in the ring...it's not even CLOSE. You'll be OUTCLASSED, and OUTDONE. Just like Shawn Hart.
El Cabron? Whatever. Silly name, mask, somersaults, whatever your GIMMICK IS, I'm going to expose you for the fraud that you are.
And hey, maybe in the end you'll thank me. Maybe in losing to me, you'll forget about your circus trade and do something HONORABLE with your life. Take up a real profession. Hell, you could even come down to my school, and I'll train you MYSELF. We'll start you off in the novice class, work you up to intermediate in 8 months to a year...if you're ready.
When you enter your first REAL competition, and get your first real WIN, you can tell 'em you trained with the best. Tell 'em you trained with someone who had the right type of EXPERIENCE.
Tell 'em you trained with the best.
'Cause when you're in there with Alex Austin, whether you're a student or a challenger, you're in there with the VERY best.
I'll see you in this McDonald's Playland you call a WRESTLING RING, Cabron. It won't take long, I promise.
Just remember, I'm located in Minneapolis these days, and the first month's free.
