It's been days since I found out about Duke's accident. I finally got some news yesterday.

***
The phone rings.

"Hey brother."

His voice is raspy. I can tell he's been through some trauma.

"Duke!? Wholly crap! Are you okay!? What happened!?"

He let's out a little chuckle.

"Yeah man. I'm doing okay. I was driving down the road that May died on."

I still remember that day. Duke's high school sweetheart, May. She was gorgeous. It was a horrible tragedy. We both were silent.

"I got sideswiped by a Dodge Ram. I didn't see it coming."

I snapped out of my recollection.

"So, what's your condition?"

A long pause. I knew it wasn't good.

"Tom, I'm paralyzed."

It's as if a UPS Delivery guy just made me sign for a delivery of a ton of bricks. Delivery, by unloading them on my head. My mouth dropped. I was speechless for a few seconds.

"Paralyzed?"

"From the waist down.

My mind was flooded. What should I do? Should I go home to take care of my best friend? I'm all he has! How is he going to train? He'll never be able to do martial arts again! But, that's when he said something I didn't expect.

"You ready for that match this weekend?"

I was kind of taken back. He immediately switched away from such a grim subject, to me.

"Um...yeah...yeah I'm ready."

I studdered. I wasn't expecting him to be focusing on me.

"Aw, come on! Say it with some energy! I know you're ready to kick this guys ass!"

I smiled, and at that point I knew that things were going to be fine. He was going to cope with his disability, no problem. In that moment, he brought me back down to earth to focus on what's at hand.

"Hell yeah!"

We laughed and continued to talk for hours.

And hearing from my best friend has given me a whole new perspective. This is my time! The opportunity for the Hardcore Championship is here and now and I will not let it pass me by! I'm at the highest point I've ever been. A great tag partner in Blaze, the best fans, and a loyal support system. I'm ready for anything! Last week, my head wasn't in the game, but now it's clear as day. Joe. You're coming into the ring with an elite in the Hardcore division! I've been privy to some of the most gruelling hardcore matches ever conceived. I've been crowned a Hardcore Champion twice in my career and have held it for a prolonged amount of time. This is my specialty, Joe Equniox. You better bring all that you've got, because when I'm in the ring in a Hardcore match, I'm a whole different animal! Your championship reign is about to end!
