(Whispering)
---Shawn Stansky---
Donnovan thanks again for coming�
---Donnovan Midas---
No problem Shawn� He was like a father to me also�
---Shawn Stansky---
So that would make us kinds like brothers right�
---Donnovan Midas---
I guess so�
---Shawn Stansky---
Well� I am the better looking one then�
(Quietly laughing)
---Donnovan Midas---
How is your mom holding up?
---Shawn Stansky---
She�s hanging in there� Why don�t you go over there and talk to her?
---Donnovan Midas---
Nah not right now Shawn� I wouldn�t know what to say to her�. When your dad and I had that falling out your mother was there and I just wouldn�t know what to say to her�
---Shawn Stansky---
Don� She doesn�t hold any ill feelings toward you� I am sure that at this time in all of our lives we can just put the past where it belongs�
---Donnovan Midas---
I don�t know Shawn� it sounds good to me but �
Just at that moment a gentlemen approaches the podium preparing to speak to the people who are attending the Steve Stansky awake�
---Pastor---
In just a few moments ladies and gentlemen we will all go into the other room and pay our final respects to Mr. Stansky. But before we do that, I would like to bring up here the son of Mr. Stansky so he can say a few kind words about his father before we lay him to rest�
Shawn Stansky approaches the podium and adjusts his tie as he looks extremely nervous up there he takes a quick glance at Donnovan Midas who gives him a huge smile�
My father was a man of faults� to many to count � but these faults were a small number in comparison to the amount of good deeds and noble acts he did in his short life� He approached the business he loved with the same whole hearts and love that he showed to all of his family� I remember a story from my child hood that I would like to share with each and every one of you� I was about 11 years old and I was off of school one day and my dad didn�t think I should be home alone so he took me to the local gym with him and sat me down� He said to me �boy sit here and don�t get into any trouble�, as I was sitting there a young guy sat next to me, he was about 17 years old and he introduced himself. He told me how good of a man my father was and how much he respected my father for what he had done in this business� Now just at that moment my father over heard what this young man was saying to me and called him over� You know that way he always did it �Hey you over there with the funny hair cut� be here right now�� This young man walked over to my father with a huge smile on his face and my father turned to him and said � Were not here to make friends we are here to work and if you cant get that thru your thick skull then go stand out side and think about it until I let you back in�� I remember staying at that gym for about 10 hours that day and when my father and I were leaving the gym that young man was standing right outside waiting for my father��Ok kid go home and come back tomorrow if you are ready to learn�� And the oddest thing happened right then and there � The boy got a huge smile on his face and walked away, later on that night when my father was putting me to bed I asked him �Dad why were you so mean to that guy today�. Now my father looked me dead in my eye that night and said �Shawn that guy right there is going to be champion of the world someday and he�s going to treat you like a brother so I want you to do the same to him now�� I remember for so long thinking that my father was crazy and there was no way I could take some stranger into my heart and love him as a brother� But it was only in my father�s death that I understood that all he wanted in life was for the two kids that he loved and considered to be both sons of his to love each other the way he loved us� And that man who my father loved as a son was none other then Donnovan Midas�
Donnovan is standing in the corner of the room in tears trying to hold it back�
And on this day I want to tell him from the bottom of my heart that I am proud to consider him a brother of mine�.
Both men walkover to each other and embrace as the camera fades away�
We are now in a car being driven by Donnovan Midas on the way to the funeral of Steve Stansky his occupants are Shawn Stansky and friend Anthony Christopher Edwards�
---Shawn Stansky---
Just follow the limo and we will be there shortly�
---Anthony Christopher Edwards---
So what�s going on in the WpW right now with you and the Ladder match?
---Donnovan Midas---
Man maybe right now is not the best time to talk about this�
---Shawn Stansky---
Nah Don it is good, I am so tired of thinking about this I would like to talk about something else.
---Donnovan Midas---
Ok well anyways I guess it is going alright, I have been hearing from all these guys left and right talking about the match and it seems like it is going to be tough�
---Anthony Christopher Edwards---
Well I guess if you say so, I was watching some of the promos this morning and I saw PSA talk for the first time�
---Shawn Stansky---
Who PSA? I thought you were only fighting 5 other guys, I have never heard of PSA.
---Donnovan Midas---
The Phil! He woke up the other day and he thinks it is 1994�
Oh come on! Your bullshitting Don, don�t believe shit that guy says, he is probably scamming each and every one of you in the WpW so you all will underestimate him in the match and he can slip away with his title�
---Anthony Christopher Edwards---
He�s got a point Don� The Phil will do anything to keep his title�
---Donnovan Midas---
I think he wants to be called Shane now or something like that. Come on guys you are sitting in front of a man who just recently changed himself due to a dramatic experience. So what makes you think I won�t take what he is saying seriously, if he has changed then it is for the better, I just hope he can make a mends with Blaze before it is to late..
---Shawn Stansky---
Don stop that shit! You can keep thinking about what my dad thought about what you said, I already told you over and over again that he loved you until his last day.
---Anthony Christopher Edwards---
Look Donnovan the Phil losing his memory of the last ten years and you losing Steve is two different things, who knows if the Phil gets tossed off the ladder again he might get all those memories back and be the Phil again�
---Donnovan Midas---
Whatever it may be guys, he is not walking out of that arena with the title. His time as champion is gone�
---Anthony Christopher Edwards---
Well Don no bullshit though do you actually think you will walk away with the title?
---Donnovan Midas---
Yeah I do�
---Shawn Stansky---
Then why are you telling PDJ that he is the favorite?
---Donnovan Midas---
Because he is!
---Anthony Christopher Edwards---
That doesn�t make sense Don, you are saying you are going to win, and then you say he is the favorite to win� Make up your mind on this one, both of you can�t win�
---Donnovan Midas---
Haven�t you heard of underdogs winning!
So you think you are the underdog?
---Donnovan Midas---
No� What I mean is you don�t have to be the favorite to win a match, and I am not the underdog I am just a man with a opportunity that will make it happen and walk away the champion�
---Anthony Christopher Edwards---
Then don�t let PDJ run his mouth anymore, all you are doing is telling this guy what a good wrestler he is and all he is doing is making you look like a fool� Why don�t you get in front of the camera and lay into this guy Donnovan Midas style�
Shawn Stansky looks back at ACE with a weird look
---Donnovan Midas---
You know what a while back I was in PDJ�S shoes, I was a man who when placed in front of odds I didn�t think I could overcome I would lash out the way he has done. He is simply afraid that I will take away his chance and everything he says is just his way of making me look like less of a threat in his eyes� So there is no point in me coming out and laying him out, I am telling him how good he is and he is saying how bad I am, well fine but I wouldn�t be in this match if I wasn�t a contender for the title� So let him say what he wants I have bigger things to worry about then PDJ�
---Shawn Stansky---
No bullshit Don watch out for Phillips, I saw him wrestle about a year ago and the boy is no joke�
Please don�t sweat the small stuff Don; Phillips is going to be a big pushover in this match.
---Shawn Stansky---
Its right here Don �
They have arrived at the cemetery where Steve Stansky will be laid to rest�Donnovan looks like he is a little bit nervous as he turns off the ignition and they all exit the car� The camera fades away� And as we come back we are outside in the cemetery just after the service has ended and everyone is going back to there cars� Donnovan is leaning on his car gazing into the sky as he is approached by Rita Stansky�
---Rita Stansky---
Donnovan �
Donnovan looks completely shocked as he turns his head to the side and sees Rita standing there, about to get in the car right in front of him�
---Donnovan Midas---
Rita � I am so sorry � He was a great man �
---Rita Stansky---
You and I both know that he had his flaws Donnovan, but all in all yes he was a great man� But then again he raised a great man to�
---Donnovan Midas---
Yeah that�s right Shawn is �
---Rita Stansky---
(Interrupts) No Donnovan he raised a great man in you�
A tear begins to roll down Donnovan�s eyes as he looks away from the camera�
---Rita Stansky---
He raised you like his son and he would be happy today to know that you and Shawn feel like brothers� He loved you all along � He made some mistakes � But one thing he did right was make you into a great man�. And I am glad that you finally see that�
---Donnovan Midas---
Rita I don�t know �
---Rita Stansky---
(Interrupts) Hush up now� Don�t argue with me about this, I know better then all of you combined� Now I want you to get in that ring Sunday and show the world the boy that Steve Stansky raised, and make us proud�
Donnovan embraces Rita who hands him something�
---Donnovan Midas---
What�s this?
---Rita Stansky---
He wanted you to have this.
She hands Donnovan a tape, gives him a kiss on the cheek then gets in her car as the camera fades away�
