We find ourselves once again in the humble abode of Johnny Sniper and Gwen Holiday. The couple is in their living room eating the McDonald's Gwen had delivered via UberEats while watching Stranger Things on Netflix. After finishing his Filet-O-Fish, Sniper nonchalantly tosses the cardboard container into the trash can on the other side of the room.
Sniper: "Kobe!"
Gwen: "Johnathan!"
Sniper: “What?”
Gwen: “Too Soon.”
Sniper: “Oh, come on Gwen. That thing will never die, besides wouldn’t one be doing his memory a disservice by not continuing that.”
Gwen: “I guess you have a point.”
Sniper reaches over to Gwen’s food and attempts to steal a fry, only to have Gwen slap his hand.
Gwen: “They’re the same thing”
Gwen says, looking unamused. As Sniper sits back in his chair. A few moments of silence pass, before Sniper looks over at Gwen.
Sniper: “Gwen, can I ask you a question?”
Gwen: “Sure, what?”
Sniper: "Was I a bad United States Champion?"
Gwen looks confused.
Gwen: "What do you mean?'
Sniper: "Was I a bad United States Champion? Did my reign hurt the legitimacy of that title, or was one of the best to ever carry it?"
Gwen: "Honestly Johnathan. I couldn't tell you, the question is do you think you were a bad champion? If yes, then don't worry about it. If no, then you can rest easy a night knowing that you are remembered for all of AWF history as one the greatest to ever hold that title. Why you thinking about challenging Draven for the belt."
Sniper: "Not right now, right now I'm trying to focus on The Rumble, and the X*Crown. I know Dunne, Nobody and Monroe will be there and having a few friends to help me out won't be so bad, provided they're not eliminated first."
Gwen: "True. But going back to your question, why did you want to know?"
Sniper: "I guess all that time away from the ring, I let the What-Ifs get to me. What if I wasn't a good champion? What if I deserved what Eric Dane did to me? What if I better off not getting better, not going back?"
Gwen looks at Sniper
Gwen: "John, you know those voices don't matter, besides it's not what you think or what the locker room thinks or what Felix thinks. It's all bout what the fans think, and I think they miss you, and I think it's time you stop beating yourself up."
Sniper: "You know what Gwen? You are absolutely one hundred percent correct. I shouldn't concern myself with what others think of me, but what I think of me"
Gwen: "And what's that?"
Sniper: "I think I was on my way to be the greatest United States Champion of all time. I was a dragon, and that title was my horde. I guarded for the likes of all comers from the safety of my mountainside cave. But in the tiny village of AWF below, words began to spread of my power and the mighty King Felix he wanted it for his own. So he sent three of bravest knights Sir Crow, Sir Ray, and Sir Dane to slay the beast and take the treasure for himself, so he could give it to whom he deemed worthy. I fought them all valiantly but the numbers were too much. Sir Ray distracted me, while Sir Ray snuck off with my treasure, as Sir Dane dealt me a crippling blow. As they ran off with their prize, I slunk off into the shadows to lick my wounds until they healed. And when they finally did heal I came out of my gave and looked down at a new village. The village of XHF and I saw its castle with it's King, King Zoran. I saw his treasure and noticed it to be greater than mine. And like the greedy dragon I am. I want it for myself and so as I spread out my wings and soar down onto the unexpecting populace. I tell them this warning. Never mettle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy."
Sniper swipes a fry from Gwen's hand.
Sniper: "And taste good with ketchup."
