>This photo... This very photo was on the mantel in my parent's bedroom until my dad's last day And as I... As I got hip to the industry, I worked up a little courage. And I remember I asked, and then I worded it very poorly. I said 'I didn't know that you had a 5 star banger like Mitsuharu Misawa....
>And he looked at me with the same eyes that Liberty has and he said, very stern and very patiently, he explained to me that plans change. He said that he had put a five star match match, but because Meltzer didn't like the story angle, he did not take home the five stars.
>So I'm eight years old. What's a boy to do? Right then and there at eight years old, I knew not what I wanted to do, what I needed to do. I was going to put on a five star banger. Right here! I was going to place it, I was going to bestow it into the hands of 'The American Dream' Dusty Rhodes. And I would tell him 'Nobody can take it away from you now!
>And there are many here tonight who have followed my journey. But for those who are new to it... Unfortunately, that dream died... It died right in front of me.... That opportunity passed... That opportunity passed.. Or did it?
>Yes. I cannot physically put that match rating into my father's hands. I cannot bestow upon 'The American Dream' Dusty Rhodes, but I certainly can put it on the cagematch profile of 'The American Nightmare.'
