Hornet walks through the basement section of his Greensboro home. He's wearing a T-shirt, and, even now, gym shorts that sport a UNC logo. He's carrying a bowl of cereal, which he sets down on a side table, before throwing himself onto the deep brown suede couch.
He picks up the remote from the coffee table in front of him, as he lounges on one of the most comfortable spots in the house. The TV clicks on, showing the latest Judge Whoever show. Hornet randomly clicks through the channels... another judge show, news, news, Springer, Court TV, news, lumberjack contest on ESPN, women's bass fishing on ESPN2.... oh boy, the replay of CSWA ANNIVERSARY 2001. Now that's one he wants to see again...sure.
It was all just another one of Merritt's schemes. The whole tryst with Teri, the whole 'revelation' by Teri to run Ivy off, the 'pregnancy' scam. Hell, Stamford surely must have enough material to run off for months just outta that one. Merritt set the ClaimStakers up...and did them in. And then he went after them one-by-one.
"And he's not done."
Hornet stands and approaches the entertainment area in the 'Media Room.' DVDs scatter the top of the DVD player, but they've all been watched recently. Video tapes lie on top of the VCR... not that one, not that one, not that one. He comes across an unmarked tape. Where did that one.... oh yeah, *he* passed it off during his big 'return.' Windham. Mark.
What was the snappy nickname he came up...'The Living X-File.' 'The Living Psycho.' 'The Living Legend.' The man whose wife...
The man who turned his back on his friend, on his 'brother', and left them to possibly be injured, or killed, in Sweetwater, TX. The man who ran out on his wife and child because he had an early mid-life crisis.
The man who walked back into the CSWA after what, two years, and expected Hornet to welcome him back how...? As a friend? Not likely.
Hornet tosses the video tape across the room, where it lands in the trash can.
"Two points."
Hornet turns the TV back on as he settles back on the couch. He flips over to NCN, but in time to catch the end of the CSWA's latest recap show. As the wrestler's promo ends, Hornet answers an unasked question out loud.
"Truth."
