Fade up.

Tupelo, Mississippi. The weather is almost like deep spring rather than mid winter. Animals moving, flower and trees in full bloom. Alergies and sinuses going like crazy to all that live there. Today in Tupelo, Simon Terry is visiting him hometown. He's actually invited the cameras along to give the wPw a little tour of this town and a little bit of Simon's life outside of the ring. Simon's dressed a little down from his normal urban look. He's clad up in a pair of ragged bluejeans, an orange Timberland t-shirt, brown clogs, and a pair of slightly tented Ray Ban sunglasses. The scene opens to a shot of Simon sitting on the porch of an old house.

Simon: Did you guys know that this is the home of Elvis Presley as a child. Tupelo is a small town and doesn't get much recognition on the nightly news unless there's a tornado come through or maybe a document done on Elvis' birthday or something. There's been alot of famous people come from Mississippi, besides Elvis. Oprah Winfrey is from Mississippi, the little run down cottage she grew up in is still standing. Great bands like 3 Doors Down, Blind Melon, Fuse X, and Killjay are all from Mississippi. There's even a legend of wrestling from Mississippi. Junkyard Dog was born raised and even died in Mississippi. It's just really good to get back home sometimes.

Simon stands up as the tour of the house is letting out and people begins trying to be seen on camera. He walks over to a patch of trees and start up again.

Simon: It's been said plenty of times and in plenty of commercials that "you can't go home again". Home is where you make it. Home is where your friends and family are. It's cool to go back and see the house you grew up in, but it's a house and not a home. When you are at a place that you are happy being, you are at home. I don't want to get too philosiphistic here. If that's even a word....Let's move on from this place.

The scene closes and re-opens to Simon standing in front of an old Model T Ford. This time he's at the Tupelo Automobile Museum.

Simon: You guys can tell where I'm at now. It's the newest attraction in Tupelo. I guess it would be easy to sit and show you all these cars and tell you which ones I'd hope to buy someday. I'm not going to do that. I don't plan on boring you people with facts and dreams anymore. So I guess I need to talk a little bit about wrestling. Just a few miles down the road from here, there's an old abandoned furniture store where wrestling goes on every weekend. It's called the MUWA. I've showed up there a few times to give the place a push. Just to talk trash and be talked about by the top heel at the time. The shows usually draw a crowd of about 30 to 45 people tops, but those kids get out there and give it all they got. They spend more money putting it on every Saturday night than they take in. Those kids have heart and they are doing what they love. They haven't had the lucky breaks that SBK or myself have had. They haven't got the money for the personal trainers and camera crews to help them cut promos. You see, Thorne and Xero like to think that they are the hardcore ones, but the kids and that old furniture store giving it all they've got for thirty people every Saturday are the real hardcore ones. They are the "hardcore" wrestlers. They are the way I was in Tijuana at age 18. They're working double time to put shows on, and loving every minute of it. Some of those kids put on daring stunts every week...chairshot, table matches, fire throwing, and even the salt to the eyes gigs. They do it for one reason, they love it. Some of us get up on Monday mornings ready to hit the spa or gym after a tough match over the weekend, those kids get up after a tough match and go to work at their furniture factories, Wal-Marts, and auto repair shops. They hope to make enough money at their real jobs to support their weekend fun. Xero, Thorne, it's easy to claim hardcore because you've taken a few chairshots to the head. It's easy to say that you are a little crazy or demented when there's a fog machine and $100,000 lighting going on behind you, but hardcore is wanting something so bad that you'd do anything to have it. I'd like to think that I myself am hardcore. Hell, I know good ol' SBK is hardcore. He goes out every week and rustles up info on every opponent he confronts. He knows more about them that some of their fans even. And guys like Xero and Thorne have the info laid in front of them and don't take the time so sieze it. It would be so easy for them to have shown clips of any of the SBK vs. SST matches from the past. It would have been so easy for them to show the drunken promos that I did a few months earlier. It would be so easy for them to show how much they deserve our wPw tag team titles. But rather than that, they resort to childesh way of saying that SBK and SST are hiding. They resort to saying that we are scared to step into that ring with them. They've been handed the info and yet they are too overconfident to take the time to use it. That's what's going to push SBK and SST over the edge of winning at Goldpush and retaining the titles.

At this point Simon's ringtone "Bittersweet Symphony" begins playing on his cellphone as he pulls it out of his pocket and answers it.

Simon: Heeello.

.....

Simon: You're in Jackson?

.....

Simon: You went like four hours too far South.

.....

Simon: Look just start heading back North and call me like every thirty minutes or so, I'll give you directions from wherever you're at.

.....

Simon: No, I'm not going to tell SBK you got lost.

.....

Simon: He doesn't make fun of you. He's just trying to get you ready for the business.

.....

Simon: Look, Lowie, I'm about to head back to my house and get some rest. There's a few friends from highschool that want me to meet up with them tonight.

.....

Simon: No, she doesn't even live here anymore, she moved to Florida.

.....

Simon: There will probably be some girls there.

.....

Simon: Yes you can come too.

.....

Simon: We'll just be here a couple of days and then we're going to meet Shawn.

.....

Simon: It's all cool.

.....

Simon: Oh, and could you call up Courtney for me and tell her that I'm at the gym and I'll get in touch with her tommorrow?

.....

Simon: Cool.

.....

Simon: Okay, just call me back later.

On that the scene fades as Simon is walking out of the Tupelo Auto Museum and get's into "his" Jeep Liberty.
