Logan is seated on a bench with his arms resting on his knees. The old man has the hood of his sweatshirt pulled up to cover his head as he stares down at the ground between his feet. Slowly he lifts his head and looks into the camera.
“A man can only stand for so much disrespect. I know my record ain’t the greatest. I ain’t blind. I signed up for one of the top promotions in the world. I’m old and tired. Some of the best competitors in the world work for this promotion. I know I’m fighting above my class most of the time.”
He shakes his head slowly.
“No, that’s not what bothers me. You want to talk down to me about how I don’t have a chance at beating you? That you’re better than me? That’s just part of the business. It’s the way things are. But to threaten my career? Threaten my life? A man can only take so much of that lying down.”
Logan pushes himself to his feet and pushes his hood back as he takes two steps to close the distance between him and the camera.
“As if any of you are big enough to put me on the shelf? There ain’t a single one of you backstage that can put me down for good. I’ve stepped into the ring with some of the best in the world and no one’s done it yet. Don’t think a couple of shit asses like TJ Alexander and Ollie Maverick are the ones to do it. I’m gonna slap the taste outta both your mouths for even dreaming about it.”
He shakes his head and steps back from the camera.
“I’ll show you just how much gas I got. My body may be failing me. I might be slowing down. But we ain’t quittin yet. Maybe one day I’ll get carted out with my boots on before I get a chance to leave them in the ring. But not today. Not fucking today, and not to either of you. Believe that.”
He lifts a hand and smacks it against his forehead a few times.
“A man can only take so much of that. Of having his life, his livelihood threatened. And for what? For a joke? Because you insecure little shit stains want to make a name for yourself off of me? Do it in the ring like a fucking professional. Actually beat me, if you have the guts to do it. Cause if you want to play dirty? You want to come for a man’s life? Then we can play that way too and you can find out what happens when you fuck with The Machine.”
