[updated:LAST EDITED ON Dec-15-01 AT 03:44 PM (EDT)](FADE-IN: Joey Melton, blonde hair in a pony-tail and dressed like he belongs on a runway, stands in front of a CSWA backdrop. He's older than the last time we saw him, but his face is timeless. Melton looks good.)
JOEY MELTON: "Thirteen years ago on my way to Atlanta I stopped off behind an abandoned warehouse in Greensboro, North Carolina to take a piss, and somehow ended up winning the CSWA's World Heavyweight Championship.
There's not a day that goes by that I don't regret not holding it a while longer and driving to the next town. Instead of championing the cause of two sexless teens I could have met a real nice girl at a gas station and filled her up. But you gotta listen to the little man, and the rest as they say is....millions of dollars in Merritt and Thomas' pockets.
Let me set the record straight here, there were good things that came out of the mishap. I made this league and with it my bank account. But most importantly I proved you don't have to wish they all are California girls...Carolina women have done quite nice for over a decade.
September 11th a day of tragedy no I'm not shedding another tear in this spot...but I have taken to heart words spoken by our president Mr.Magoo.
"Your lives must go on."
Fair enough you see boys and girls Joey Melton has decided his life will go on as well. Not the life I've been living recently, five star parties, women, good eats, sex, drugs and a whole lot of rock and roll.
Who the hell am I kidding? I'll ALWAYS travel that train. But allow me to proclaim there's a little more steam in the engine, a lot more.
Like Dylan said, I will not go quietly into that good night. Not without a screamer and a glass of wine at least.
Rage, Rage against the dying of the light. Joey Melton from day one, period...from day one in this hellhole has always been the light. There have been dark times....but I first shined here, bottom line a check isn't cashed by Mike Randalls, or Mayfield that doesn't have my name on it.
You're spending my money, built on my blood....but that's all right because I’ve gotten something out of it too.
A reason.
A reason to throw her into park and take another long piss. It's been building for a while if I don't go now, I may not go at all. Believe me boys that won't be good for anybody.
Joey Melton thirty-eight years of age merely an old man in the sport? Too tired to play the game? Retired?
Not hardly.
I look around at what I built and I wonder when the hell did the bomb drop? Midgets, muppets, that's all fine well and good because misfits serve the drinks they don't try for a taste themselves. Pretenders this league was my first, I love her in a weird way, and I want her back. I don't care if she's happy without me, she needs me...she's going to get me.
Troy Windham? Please. I was winning world titles across the world and spankin' my women's a** with them back when you were trying to figure out why they called the friend on Growing Pains, "Boner".
Eddy Love? Son you've been done before. Sweet Melissa I'll give ya that. But you're nothing more than a cover of an old Melton song, and I'm tired of hearing your version played.
Hornet, Randalls....baby we've danced before. You've lead one night I've lead the other...listen to what I'm throwin I'm getting back on the floor...if you wanna go....my card is always open.
Over the past couple years I've sat back and enjoyed the ride on cruise control while Steve Radder and Jesus Freaks woke up every morning staring at my title.
Boys you've about made it sick.
Merritt, no I won't work for free. I work for me. Open the checkbook, part the middle ropes...your personal lord and savior is here again. Don't deny it, you'te a step away from that old warehouse again. You need me just like you did thirteen years ago.
See ya soon kids...this train is a comin' to town."
