The scene opens up and you see no Wyvern or Veronica. It’s just Andre and a black backdrop. Between the thumb and pointer finger on his right hand is a Raw cone. He takes a hit and lets it marinate in his lungs for a few extra seconds before pushing it out through his nostrils.
When I was in the shadow of others, I was takin’ this shit seriously. While I was goin’ from place to place to try and gain some of that good traction, I was takin’ this shit seriously. Through all of the flexin’ and the loud mouth antics, I never stopped given’ a shit about what I was doing. Andre Aquarius is somebody who believes in himself even when it seems like there ain’t nobody else who actually does. As time keeps passin’ me by, I feel like that’s the case more often than not.
I remember chasin’ midcard gold and startin’ a grassroots movement hypin’ up a belt that nobody in the company gave a shit about prior to me takin’ an interest in it only to be told by the sweaty goof in Gorilla that it wouldn’t REALLY be on the line. I remember layin’ waste to muhfuckers in a tables match for another championship only for the company to spend funds too quickly and flounder financially and have to close up shop a month into what was lookin’ like a promisin’ startup.
I remember a time when I was honin’ my skills all over the world as a Cruiserweight without bein’ put in the position to put that shit on the map like I wish I could’ve just like I remember headlinin’ in front of tens of thousands for a world title with millions of fans streamin’ backin’ me from their living rooms only to get bested by a cornball noname in a match that by all accounts I should’ve come out on top of.
I guess my point is that no matter how bad I’ve wanted this shit, things just ain’t work out for me. It turns out, it’s actually real hard gettin’ the train movin’ when you spend the first several years of your career havin’ to stop and start simply because folks aint’ believe in you. In a way, I regret not bein’ able to give more to Sin City. Then again, I was never supposed to give more in the first place, I suppose.
For the fans, just know that whether I made ya laugh, made ya pop, or made ya wanna change the channel..I appreciate you watchin’ me in the first place. If this is the end, then thank you. If they decide to push it another week and tell me to get movin’ again, you better believe it’s full speed ahead and we takin’ out every single roadblock there is.
