I've come to learn that Dad had no idea Lawler was going to cut that promo. All he knew was that no one was doing a skit with me involved unless it was just me and him, because he didn't trust anyone else.
You can kind of guess where this story is heading.
So fast forward to that next Saturday.
The Henchman are in the ring waiting and Lawler's music hits and here we go. I have on my suit just like Bagwell did and I had my miniature cane. I high-fived the crowd and pointed my cane at him.
They were eating it up. He acted all mad and scared. It was a pretty good start.
The ending of the match was there. Mike had jumped up on the apron and slid brass knuckles into Dad. When dad went to use them on Lawler, he ducked and threw dad through the ropes in front of me.
I had mixed emotions. There was my father. The man who brought me into this world. The man who put food on my table. And now I'm supposed to hit him to make these fans happy? Are you serious? Should I?
Oh hell yeah!
He tried using the side of my wheelchair to pull himself up, and when he did, I clocked him over the head with that little cane and broke the crystal ball off of the top of it.
He got tossed back in the ring by Edwards and Lawler got the pin and became the new tag team champions.
To this day, that was the only time I've ever gotten to be an actual character in a wrestling event. Even at nine, the adrenaline rush is unbelievable. I can only imagine how good it will feel now. Hope you all enjoyed the read.
