A hazy footage surfaced on the EVPW website during the course of the third episode of Decimation, and it turned out to be from a torn-down locker room, with Shawn Dreamer on the frame. The Hardcore Prince has a serious look on his face as I looked into the handheld camera that was before him, and from the looks of things, he was ready to jump into the ring and compete. But then, there was a slight detail that would burn down the speculation down to ashes; he had a cast around his left hand, which he gripped tightly with his other one.
"You know, back in the days, I wouldn't have looked back at things like this really. I had worked out a match with a broken knee once… I flew around the ring then and took more bumps that my opponent could even count… heck, I remember I won with my leg almost freezing numb! It was one of those days I was carefree to the core, and I really didn't mind to shake up the violence with a screwdriver… or even a fork down from the noodle box that have been left around the corner empty!"
Shawn shook his head and smiled, before letting out a sigh of depression.
"But now… but now, I just can't afford to take a bump with the slightest of the injuries. I can't even afford to drive down the turnbuckles with an elbow drop, with my wrist being dislocated. I tell you, it hurts me to see what age and life has done to me… turning me like one of those old buildings down the downtown of New York City one wouldn't just barge and see life in! I have turned into a weakling that I simply doesn't like looking at the mirror, and well… "
Dreamer looks blankly at a distance, with his face contorted up in slight pain.
"I don't care whether I'm medically cleared or not, I'm going to drive all my way up Concord and fight another match that I would set me bleed a bucket! I don't care whether my wrist falls off as I do this, but man, I just can't stop this itch. I just can't stop this itch of coming out of the burrow. I just can't stop this itch of fighting all around the place and do what I do best… and that's the sole reason why I came out of retirement in the first place! They don't call me a has-been just yet… no, you don't call me that just yet! I'm here to fight until my last breath, like I promised before, and well…"
The Hardcore Prince looked into the camera, before pointing at it.
"EVPW, Decimation, next week, I return for another blood-fest! I'm not going to be shy at anything… I'm going to throw in whatever I can find - be it a kitchen sink or the pizza cutter that has Red's red all over it - and I'm going to put on a match that I have pulled of umpteen times throughout my life! This is it! This is now! This is the story of the Hardcore Prince's return to existence, and so it continues!"
Done giving in his mind, Dreamer pushed himself up from the chair and walked away from the scene, leaving the camera to watch the empty chair solemnly. It's just then the feed cuts away to nothingness, ever so abruptly, and the video finds itself at a dead end.
OOC: A short and sweet promo about my disappearance. Got a dislocated wrist IRL, and even though it's not as bad as Dreamer, it works. I'm doing better now and itching for a fight, so yeah, you can safely bet I'm gonna be on the next Decimation card fo'sho!
