T-dog

Scene opens up a graveyard, at the crack of dawn. A black Chevy Impala is parked in front of the graveyard. Rows of tombstones rally the courtyard and one man stands in between them, in front of one tombstone. T-dog stands in front of it. He's wearing a custom made T-Dog hoody and black sports pants. He stands looking at the tombstone, his head slightly bowed and holding a bouquet of flowers in his right hand.
Death .. It's a funny thing isnt it. Your physical self departs this world and it remains non-existent, but memory .. Your memory, your legacy and the lives you have touched, live forever long after you're gone. It is by that memory of what people remember, that you are judged by. The mark you have left is what people remember.
I remember the mark you left upon my life .... You were there for me when I had just started out my career, from PCW and all the way into WPW. You stuck with me during the best of times and the worst of times, only for me in the end to let you down in the worst ever way possible..
Adriana stands behind the tombstone, looking at T-dog, but he doesnt seem to notice her.
Seems like thats the story of my life huh? letting people down. I let WPW down last year when I jumped, what I thought was their sinking ship to head to supposedly greener pastures in EWE ... I let EWE down when I gave them the finger and took my ass back to WPW .... And it seems to me that everyone's favourite snake, The Judge is always ''disappointed'' in whatever path I take because it's not the path that he expected me to take.
T-dog takes a pause
I dont have many regrets in my life, but what I did to you and your family will be my biggest regret. It's something that I never escaped and your memories haunt me everyday. The guilt and pain of what I have done, it manifests within me constantly.... But, it's never something that held me back. That guilt and pain, I channelled into rage during my matches ... And for the most part, it's done me well ... It has made me a tag champion and a the winner of the SYS contract all within less than an year.
Even though you're gone .... You're still helping me get through whatever obstacles have come my way. Your presence is both a blessing and a curse........
You know, I never admitted this to anyone other than myself ... But one of the reasons I havnt cashed in my title is that .... I'm afraid to let go... Just like how I have been afraid to let you go. The SYS contract, it's one of the few things that has a symbol of hope for me ... It's a safety net. It's something that I know I can rely on when things are looking bleak... I cant let go of it because once I use it ... That's it... It's gone forever.
Just like you ... That contract has been both a blessing and a curse.
Adriana is still standing behind the tombstone, looking at T-dog worried, but he still hasnt noticed her. He gets down on knee and then places the flowers down on the grave and then gets to his feet.
But when you're dragged into a war ... You get done trying to make excuses for yourself and you realise that you either have to sink or swim. So I'm done... I'm done letting things hold me down and I'm sick of these chains which I've attached to myself hold me back ... I'm breaking loose.
T-dog reaches into his pockets and takes out what appears to be lighter fluid ... He pours it over the grave ... And then takes a minute to look at the grave...
It reads ''Adriana Santos''. He looks back and see the sun starting to rise now, a small smile appears on his face and he turns back to the grave... He takes out a match, lights it and then drops it on the grave... It catches on fire instantly and then rises up as it starts to burn. T-dog then looks up and looks at Adriana ... As the grave burns, so does she .. The flames eating away at her .. She pays no attention to the fire thats slowly eating her away and she looks straight at T-dog ...
I'm no longer afraid ... I'm not letting the pain take over me anymore ... I dont need it, I dont want it ..... I can and I will do this byself ... I wont rely on anything else .... From now on, I'm relying only on myself.
The flames engulf her completely and T-dog tuns his back on her ...
People of EWE..... You brought this upon yourself.
