After I got backstage that night, there was one person that I knew I had to call. He probably wouldn’t pick up, but I had to try.
Why does this always make me so nervous? Jesus my hands are sweaty. Unlocking my phone, I dial his number and lift the phone up to my ear.
-Ring-
-Ring-
-Ring-
-Ring-
-Click-
Fuck.
His answering machine again.
Why are you shutting me out pop?
Alright here we go.
Hey dad, I don’t know if you were watching or not.
But I just wanted to let you know I won my match.
Honestly, I couldn’t think of anybody that I wanted to tell, before telling you first.
I’ve got another match coming up this week, hopefully you’ll check it out and maybe give me a call back?
If not, I’ll call you after the show this week.
I love ya pop, I miss ya.
Give me a call will ya.
I could feel my heart sink a bit after hanging up from my call.
Truthfully, I’m not sure why I’m getting the cold shoulder from my dad.
But right now, I can’t focus on that as I’ve got bigger fish to fry.

Who does this smug son of a bitch think he is?
You walk out to that ring talking about respect? Talking about how if I’ve got a problem that all I have to do is come out and tell you face to face?
Why are you acting like such a tough guy now?
Where was this before?
No.
I told you before and I’ll say this to you again. This happens on my terms, nobody else’s. I will not be goaded by you, or by anybody to give any kind of explanation until I am damn well and ready.
Be careful what you wish for though.
Cause I’ve got no problem with walking right up to you and knocking your damn block off.
Count on that.

I needed that.
I really did.
I went about this all wrong the last time, I just expected that this was going to easy.
I expected everything to be handed to me on a nice, shiny silver platter and it ended up damn near costing me everything.
It’s a mistake I won’t make twice.
That’s why I really feel bad for you Karate Kid.
Did you watch what happened to Steve Blackman last week?
Steve Blackman got hurt.
Steve Blackman was in the wrong place at the wrong time and paid for it.
Now it’s your turn.
I could really give a rats ass how many kicks you know or what kind of smoke and mirrors karate mess you do.
None of it will help you once you get into the ring with me.
As soon as that bell rings Karate Kid, I’m going to hurt you.
I’m gonna knock your damn block off and make sure that you’re on your back staring up at the lights.

In 3 short seconds, you'll see that your 1000 kicks and whatever else you have in your bag of tricks doesn't mean squat pal.
