"In 2010, the summer was hot,
But for me, it was all for naught,
A time of pain and shattered dreams,
A moment in time that still screams.

I was just a man, with hopes and fears,
Trying to make it in the wrestling sphere,
But fate had other plans in store,
And my dreams were thrown out the door.

I was young, with so much to prove,
But my body had a different groove,
Injuries racked me to the core,
And my career was shown the door.

I watched as others rose to fame,
Their careers ablaze with fortune and fame,
While I sat on the sidelines, alone,
Wondering what had gone wrong.

The summer of 2010 was damned indeed,
A time of loss, a time of need,
But from those ashes, I rose again,
Stronger, wiser, and ready to win.

I fought back, with all I had,
Through the pain, I refused to be sad,
And now I stand here, a legend in my own right,
Thanks to the damned summer of 2010, and my fight."
