"Don't call it a comeback" The interview PT1

[Vincent Valmont]

Cameras fade into frame as we see the inside of an empty Turmoil arena. It's already pre set, and ready for tonights Turmoil 197. Inside the ring is sitting two individuals. Both on their seats, and one of the individuals is Stacey Clark. The other is Vincent Valmont.

 

 

Stacey:"Hello, and welcome Valmont. It's been a while since OCW has seen you inside the ring or accepting interviews for that matter."

 

 

 

 

Valmont:"Thanks, Stacey. Yes it's been a while...it's been 4 long years since I showed my face, and competed in OCW. I must say honestly it feels damn good to be home."

 

 

 

 

Stacey:"I'll try to keep this brief as you requested. Shall we get started?"

 

 

 

 

Valmont:"I appreciate that, Stacey. I request this interview to be brief just because I spent my entire career building myself up off words then going out there to prove it right, but as history will show that is what got me into trouble with the backstage my last run here."

 

 

 

 

Stacey:"Indeed so, Valmont. So do you have anything else to add onto the heat that was on you from management, and backstage that made you walk away 4 years ago?"

 

 

 

 

Valmont:"Not really, Stacey. I don't want to go into a full confession, and end up puttng foot into my mouth. Instead I will be a man of my word, and this goes out to anyone, everyone, and those in between that I, Vincent Valmont apologize. This is sincere, real, and from the heart.

 

 

 

 

I regret so much throwing away my career over words. It wasn't my actions inside a ring, but rather what I said, or did outside of it that got me into hot water. I basically walked into my family's home, and burnt it down. I rubbed so many people the wrong way, and made myself public enemy number one."

 

 

Stacey:"As history shows that seems to be about everything wrapped up inside a nuthshell for you, Valmont. Just sitting here across from you, and talking with you again 4 years later I can honestly say I believe you, but I'm not the ones you made enemies of. However I do hope you find peace in this return, and the bridges you may have destroyed can once again be repaired.

 

 

Now onto my next question, Valmont. Rumors have been in circulation over the internet for almost 4 years that you would eventually return to OCW anyway. Ever since the show card was posted for Turmoil 197 as it marked the return to you in OCW many have wondered why now?"

 

 

Valmont stands up, and paces the ring. He walks along the ropes as he rubs his hand over them. He walks to the turnbuckle, and comfortably sits on the top rope. He stares at the empty arena, and empty seats as he briefly closes his eyes. He cracks a smile and reopens them.

 

 

Valmont:"Honestly I thought for a while I would never return. I put myself in a self-imposed retirement, and with the birth of my 2nd child my beautiful daughter my life was complete. I was happy, and in peace. A changed man so to speak. Then days go by, weeks, months, years, and that itch returned.

 

 

Noo Stacey... not that itch! I'm talking about the itch to compete. It's why hall of famers return again, and again to compete in OCW. They get the urge to fight. Because teachers educates students, doctors saves lives, a cable man installs crappy cable service it's what they do. Fighters fight... no matter what they say, no matter if they think they've burnt out, but deep down they all got the itch to compete. To be the best, to be recognized as the best, and to establish your own legacy among many other greats.

 

 

So over time I felt incomplete inside like I had unsettled business to finish. My name..my career, and all I've worked so hard to achieve it boils down to my legacy I leave here in OCW. I be damned if I was going to let my career, and legacy be tarnished with how I went out the last time.

 

 

So I chose to walk into the OCW HQ, and talk to the man himself, and worked out a contract. I didn't care I didn't receive a legends contract, nor that I get paid less than before. I'm not here for money, or for special privileges. I want to compete with all these young bloods, and great new talent, and even familiar faces."

 

 

Stacey:"Interesting to hear the story unfold about your return, and I agree there's alot of new talent here in OCW, and alot has changed as well. Speaking of change you actually have a match tonight against someone else from the oldschool of OCW. A former champion who's been around as long as you, but neither of you haven't faced off in singles action in your careers, but only a couple of times.

 

 

None other than Seth Irving. In what yall's match is being built up as a old school rumble. Now the real question is what is your thoughts on Irving? Also if any doubts on your return be cut short if you go into the match, and don't live up to the hype. Perhaps fall to your expectations, and lose. Maybe even lose badly in first match back. Granted it's been 4 years since your last match in a OCW ring, but in your opinion does any of that matter to you?"

 

 

Valmont gets off the top rope, and goes to sit back down in his seat. He grins a bit, and closes his eyes once again taking a sigh of relief with reopening them, and smiles.

 

 

Valmont:"Let me say I respect Irving. He's a fighter like me. I know I won't get nothing, but his very best in our match. If I don't step up he will beat me. However to say I lose the match in any fashion then get discouraged. That's only half true. I will care if I lose tonight, but will it effect me moving forward? Hell no in fact I gurantee two things. First I will bring everything I have against Irving, and he will get nothing less from me than he will against me. 4 years or not I will show the whole world who I am, and what I have left in the tank!

 

 

Now for number two whether I win, or I lose. It doesn't matter right now because the only thing that matters in my first match back is sending a message to the lockeroom that I'm still one of the most dangerous guys inside this ring, and my return is just beginning."

 

 

Stacey:"Well I appreciate all the time I have shared with you(Stacey looks toward the cameras), and this will be airing live now on OCWFED.COM, as well as a repeat showing prior to Turmoil 197. For me, Stacey Clark, and my special guest, Vincent Valmont I thank all the OCW fans for viewing this. This won't be our last time chatting with Mr. Valmont as part 2 of Don't call it a comeback will air next week following 197 heading into Riot 500, Turmoil 198, and more possible questions to be answered. Goodbye!"

 

 

Both shake hands as Valmont leaves the ring to go prepare for the return matchup against Seth Irving for Turmoil 197. The cameras slowly fade out as the cameramen and Stacey start packing things up as the show is about to start soon.
