The scene opens in a dark room. As the lights flicker on We see a man who is heavily bandaged come into view.
“I don’t know what I thought I was doing… Stoic hero. Ignore and just battle. At Titan I was reminded at what being silent gets you. I didn’t trust Lady Munin or Eva enough. I wouldn’t talk, meet, I wouldn’t listen.”
It becomes clear that the bandaged man is no other than Tamer himself.
“I claimed to still be a hero. But what have I done but limped along as the tide rose against me. Now it’s officially all on the line. My Career or Kolic’s. He deserves to win. He’s said all the right things. Won all the right battles. While I’ve embarrassed myself. Munin and Eva will never trust me again. Maybe no one here will. I felt the spark dying out in the fans as the three hit the mat. And it’s taken me this long to respond… Pathetic."
Tamer’s voice is pained. He is a man on the edge. Everything he thought he was slipping away from him. The only family he had left already gone. He feels weak and lost.
“I always wanted to be the hero. But I’ve never really been. This place has eaten me up and spit me out time and time again. I thought it was cool and spunky to keep coming back. To rise from the ashes. I thought I could finally show the world I was the hero they deserve. I’m not. I’m a man. I’m a kid from Tucson. I’m a punk who couldn’t control his anger and destroyed someone’s life by nearly killing them. All the hero bullshit has been about finding my own redemption… Religion never settled in my heart. So here I’ve been trudging through. Think that if I could be more than a man, if I could be a symbol I could make up for my past."
Tamer is fighting back tears. Searching painfully for every word. How did it get this bad? How did he get here?
“Maybe you’ll be the one to end me Kolic. Maybe I should have joined you. Followed you… But I will not throw away the principals that got me here. I may be crumbling. At least I will do it fighting. Fighting for something I believe in. For good, for the people. Fighting for myself. It could be that it is a fantasy to believe that I can hang here. That I can make it on this big stage.”
Tamer shake shis head almost disgusted with himself.
“Then again. You do have to ask yourself Kolic. Marcus. Maybe I am washed up, out of my depth, I’ve lost it. I might not be as good as I once was… But on that night I may be as good once as I ever was. And then you’ll be the one without a Career and a crumbling family... Pray on that”
