To Who it may concern,
The Daddy of Violence is coming to Portland, Oregon of all places. Going into the final Battleground episode for a battle that I am not as prepared as I would like to be. Getting beaten up and than having to catch another flight out. I am so tired. I don't know how some of my other contemporaries do it at this age. I am 40 and feel all the aches and pains. There are times where I keep hearing "Turn The Page" ringing through my head. I wish some trips would be over and I could go home for more than a day or two. You look at my opponents and I am looked at as a legend by some people. I am smart enough to realize that living on the road isn't a smart move for somebody like me.
People always look for a fight with me and I am not afraid of it. What can you really do to a man with one eye left in his head and nothing left to lose? I know nobody in this company and I am coming in completely unprepared for this fight. That's alright though. I may not be a main event caliber guy anymore but I am competent enough to swing a hammer. I know what I am capable of doing in the ring. I have to be very effective in order to stay in this business for as long as I have. KROW, Benjamin Maddox, and Colossus don't intimidate me. I may only be 5'10 but that means nothing in a true battle. I am getting way too old for this shit but I love it too much. Goddess Diana will look over me for this battle.
Once that bell rings, I am ready for a fight. I'm 40. There are only so many matches I can do. My body hurts some days. There are days I don't even feel like going to gym and have to force myself to do it. Yes, I still hit the gym. Gotta keep my strength up somehow. I still got decent cardio despite the the many injuries I have hit myself with over the years. Coming into the final Battleground and I am ready to make my presence known. The fans want me still. I somehow represent them because I am the guy that shouldn't have made it. The guy who should have been taken last in every single sport! The nerdy A/V guy who was great as a cameraman yet found a second life in pro wrestling!
Pro Wrestling has been great to me even in this ever changing world of technical wizardry that I cannot do or fly off the ropes. I rely on what my trainer taught me many years ago and stay looking out of place. That is why my matches feel different than most and people seem to enjoy them! I have always been willing to bleed for a living no matter what. My forehead is nothing but pure scar tissue from the countless light tubes. The countless blood coming out of me. Trying to drive down the road and hope a scab doesn't peel and blood gushes down your face. Temporarily blinding you! Running on White Claw and Prime Energy!
EPW is about to get a little more violent with a guy like me around. One eyed man who has been around the world. I am at that stage in my career where maybe shackling myself to one place for so long was a mistake. I am gonna go everywhere I can and somehow find a way to keep my legacy alive and kicking. Doesn't matter where I have to roam or travel to. I am a complete independent contractor at this point and I love every minute of it. I get bored in a place and I can bounce but I will do business the right way and finish out my bookings before I leave. That is the one thing you can say about me. Wins and losses don't matter at all. I'll show up and fight anybody despite how people may look at the booking. There is always that puncher's chance at the end of the day.
Until next time,
---Barney Green
