Mike Shelly is seen walking through the backstage labyrinth and looking around purposefully.
-
Mike: Where is it? I know it should be in this area...
-
He stops in front of a door with CL written on it. Before going knocking and going inside.
-
Chris Legend: Mike! Man, it's been forever! But...where's Peter?
-
Mike
looks stricken and pained by the question. He looks down and the camera
pans down to see the object in his left hand, a bent lead pipe.
-
Mike: I'm sorry Chris. He didn't make it out.
-
Chris: Damnit...I loved that boy...He was my student...no...he was my...friend...
-
He hands the pipe over to Chris and then walks to a corner while still looking miserable.
-
Mike:
There were two things that Peter always wanted, first he wanted me to
get back into the ring. So I came to RWU. Second he wanted to see the
two of us go one on one. That's why I'm here.
-
The
two lock eyes and the mutual respect is apparent but another air is
obvious in the room, a sense of competition and an urge to prove
themselves to one another and to their lost compatriot.
-
Chris: Mike...I can only say one thing...Let's get out there and do this for Peter.
-
The two shake hands, sharing the motivation to steal the show for their late friend.
