V.O.
Well, I get up at seven, yeah
And I go to work at nine
I got no time for livin’
Yes, I’m workin’ all the time
It’s dawn (even earlier than seven!) at the Watts farm. KALMIN WATTS emerges from the Watts Training Grounds (Barn) already sweating. He shakes it off and begins to jog as Oklahoma wakes up.
V.O.
It seems to me I could live my life
A lot better than I think I am
I guess that’s why they call me
They call me the workin’ man
They call me the workin' man
I guess that's what I am
The scene changes to show Watts lifting weights inside of the…barn. He starts off curling, then transitions to bench presses, then, finally, ends up squatting. It’s a tremendous amount of weight each time.
The scene quickly changes to show “THE HIGH ROLLER” WESLEY CRANE asleep in bed with a couple of women (it could be before Katie Moss…or not). Judging by the position of the sun, it’s got to be close to noon. Henderson stands at the doorway and shakes his head.
V.O.
So I get home at five o'clock
And I take myself out an ice cold beer
Always seem to be wond'rin'
Why there's nothin' goin' down here
Watts is shown in a ring throwing around nameless wrestlers as he works to perfect his craft. The gym is dirty and grimy, but that doesn’t keep anyone from trying his best and working his hardest. Afterward, the boys crack into a case of beer and trade war stories.

In a state of the art facility, Wesley Crane practices various strikes against opponents. He hits In The Face!!! and some HRKOs. Eventually, one opponent counters him. Crane flips out in a manner that would make 1996 HBK blush. He gets red in the face, throws off his protective gear, and screams at Henderson. The nameless opponent’s shoulders slump as he knows he’s fired.
The guitar solo plays as clips of Watts suplexing opponents in WUK is shown. The clips change to the first Watts/Crane match where Watts was working over Crane’s right knee.
The chorus replies once, then goes back to a solo.The clips end with Crane clutching a wrench to weigh his fist down and catching Watts in the face with a punch. The punch is repeated multiple times with the tint of the video changing each time. Finally, Crane makes the cover and wins. Crane is carried back by the High Rollers Club as the referee checks on Watts. The scene changes to Crane confidently talking in his post-match press conference before recapping his win over Ronnie Long at Dominion.

Clips of Watts in the ladder match at Dominion play. Watts is shown fighting through the best wrestlers of multiple companies before climbing the ladder and fending off The Sheik to win the title shot.

Watts is back in Oklahoma working out in preparation for the unification match at Legacy. Crane is shown picnicking with KATIE MOSS and NAOMI as he looks carefree.

The video ends with Crane in gorilla having the WUK World Heavyweight Title put on his waist by Henderson. He consumes an expensive sports drink, checks his hair in mirror held by Hendreson, then he walks through the curtain. Finally, we see Watts slapping hands with the WUK workers in gorilla. Watts slings the WUK British TV Title over his shoulder and walks through the curtain.
