The Family Man sits at his kitchen table in the dark watching a video that El Cazador had just posted a few hours earlier, Danny Ray can't help but wonder why this man who hides behind a mask has the audacity to say that he is pretending to be someone he's not. El Cazador is upset due to the fact he was eliminated by a forty-year-old rookie in the wrestling world, he is upset and embarrassed that he was beaten by an overweight middle-aged father of four. Bested by a man who would give anyone else his last cent or his last bite of food to help them, a man who isn't all about himself but about his family and doing whats right. Danny Ray sit's there staring at the video and looking in the eyes of a man he has only met once in the ring even though they use to work in another wrestling company together. As Danny Ray sits there he can't help but hit the button to post his own video message so that he can express himself. The Family Man brushes his hair out of his eyes and away from his face as he takes a drink of his coffee and begins to speak.
Danny Ray - " Sebastian, you seem to be upset because you lost to me, I can't help you are hurt or embarrassed. I went out there to win a match and do my job so I can support my family. You say I'm fake because I don't act like normal people, who are you to say what normal, is? I am a man of God I believe in family first just because I don't run around degrading people and trying to hurt others that make me fake. Let's see I say what I mean I never lie, I never cheat and I don't hide, can you say the same thing Mr. Cazador. You hide behind that mask as if the world can't see you for who you really are. I am not one to judge anyone and I'm not going to sit here and make excuses for why I lost, I'm not going to get mad and attack the guys that beat me or say that the way you live your life and the way you handle yourself is wrong. That's not my place God will do that when the time is ready but what I will do is offer you my hand in friendship and invite you to my home so you can have a great home cooked meal, and get to know the REAL me as you so blatantly stated you wanted."
Danny Ray leans back to catch his breath as it has been a long day and he is very tired from running after the kids all day and doing yard work. He finishes his cup of coffee and wipes his mouth as he begins to talk again.
Danny Ray - " Sebastian you call me your newest nemesis yet you have never talked to me face to face, you judge me on a one-time interaction between us. Most people would be upset, pissed even but no me I am extremely proud and honored that our interaction had such an impact on you that you can't help but think of me. It's the little things in life that make life worth living and it's the small things that make us who we are. So you call me fake I call me a role model for my four small children. I call myself a loving husband that does what he needs to, to take care of his wife and kids. I call myself a good human being and a Christian. That's what my legacy will be when this world comes to an end for me, it won't be the championship belts that I win or the money I make and all the fancy stuff or all of the property that I may own one day. "
The lights in the backroom flicker on and off as Danny Ray sits in front of his laptop doing his video message. Danny Ray notices it's a bit hot in the kitchen so he stands up and checks the thermostat turning it down as it reads 76 degrees. The Family Man refills his coffee before sitting back down to continue his chat with Sebastian.
Danny Ray - " You see what you call fake I call being me, I'm not a God, I'm not a superhero, I'm not even that good of a wrestler. But what I am is a REAL man and no matter what happens or what is said I will be the same man tomorrow that I am today. When I first lost my job at the brewery after working there for over twenty years I wasn't sure what I was going to do. But I never gave up and I never lost faith, I was offered a job by one of the most unlikely men in the world a man called Shawn Rossdale owner of Icon Championship Wrestling. I had never wrestled professionally but I had been trained when I was around seventeen or eighteen. I will admit I was nervous entering the ring with men like you, Jack Diamond and "The Prodigy" Bobby Barratt. I was trained by the most unlikely of trainers "The Soviet Monster' Duke Kosloff, he tried to turn me into his personal minion, a monster but I did not allow it, I did not allow myself to change who I am as a man and as a person. So what makes you think you can change who I am? What makes you think I am hiding something? "
Danny Ray - " You say there is darkness inside all of us, I have struggled my whole life I have held in every bit of anger, stress, hardship, and hostility that I have had or felt in my life. So answer me this do you really want to try and bring that out of me? Can you really handle all of that if it was released onto the world specifically you Sebastian? Now don't get me wrong I'm not saying that I would ever allow that to happen or if it ever could. So just like the old phrase goes "Be careful about what you wish for!" I may just be some hick from Belleview, Missouri but I am far from stupid, I have done my homework on you. Sebastian, I have been a wrestling fan my whole life and I have followed your career since day one back in your family's promotion in Guadalajara, Mexico. I know your style and I respect the Luchadore lifestyle and code, so much honor in it. So I am not going to sit here and disrespect you."
As the Family Man is sitting there he feels a hand slide down his back, it's his wife Amanda. She leans down next to him and whispers in his ear asking him if he will be coming to bed soon. He pauses the video message for a second and gives her a kiss letting her know he will right after he finishes his message to Sebastian. She gives him another kiss and heads back to her bed to wait on him.
Danny Ray - " You know what Sebastian, I may be new to the wrestling business but I believe I have shown that I can win and I can take care of my family without lowering myself or my beliefs. You see when I was in ICW I won a shot at the Shooting Star Championship that Bobby Barratt was holding but the company failed and they closed, now I have a shot here in Ascension Wrestling Federation at the Prestige Class championship. So this is the biggest shot I have ever had and I will do my best to win but I will not allow you or anyone else, not Cobalt Lancer, not even Kira Izumi to change who I am. I will win and after I win I will hold on to this championship with respect and honor."
It's 10:17 pm and everyone in the Ray household is asleep except for "The Family Man" Danny Ray, who wishes he was already asleep in his queen size pillowtop bed. Danny Ray looks at his coffee cup that's about empty picks up the coffee pot which is also about empty and pours himself another cup. After taking a long drink he sits his cup back down and begins to talk once again.
Danny Ray - " Let's do this Sebastian you blame me for your shortcomings, but what you should be doing is trying to understand what you should have done to win and why you lost. See if you want I would be willing to help you, you may hide behind that mask but I see the REAL you I see the REAL Sebastian. I see the pain in your eyes, the see the hurt in your soul, the break in your heart. I see the scared little boy trying to pretend he's a man. Let me help you I may not be the great wrestler El Cazador is but Sebastian I am a simple man who knows how to be happy with what he has and I can show you how to do the same. Let me help you heal that broken heart, let me mend your broken spirit, let me help you bring the honor back to your family name the Villalobos. I know it has to bother you that the great name of your ancestors has been disrespected and dishonored throughout the past few years if not the past decade."
Danny Ray - " You want to bring back that pride, that honor to your family legacy then stop blaming others for your problems, for your losses, and for your shortcomings. Start rebuilding your career and your legacy be a man and start wrestling with a purpose. I know I'm new to the world of wrestling and what do I know about making it in this business. I may not know much about that but what I do know is how to be a REAL MAN, how to be a success as a person. Sebastian when you realize that being a success in life as a human being is more important than being a success in the world of business that's when you will have the most success you have ever had in your wrestling career."
The temperature in the house has dropped quite a bit over the past hour as Danny Ray notices the chill in the air. He rubs his arms for a moment to warm up as the goosebumps disappear. The Family Man drinks the last bit of his coffee as he is about finished with his video message and ready for a good nights sleep.
Danny Ray - " Sebastian, I am not fake and I'm not afraid of no man I will not back down from anyone, but instead, I will do what is necessary for my family can you say the same thing? Before I end this message I want you to know my offer still stands why don't you come to Belleview, Missouri and spend some time with the Ray family have a hot meal and reevaluate your priorities. Let us see what an inspired and motivated Sebastian Villalobos can do in this business in the AWF. If you decide you want to see the REAL me and find the REAL Sebastian then give me a call, I'm sure you can find my number. Have a nice day!!!"
Danny Ray hits send on his laptop as he finished his message and turns off his laptop as he stands up and heads to his bedroom. The Family Man slowly climbs in bed so not to wake his beautiful wife Amanda as she lies there asleep. He seems to be out as soon as his head hit the pillow.
Danny Ray - " Sebastian, you seem to be upset because you lost to me, I can't help you are hurt or embarrassed. I went out there to win a match and do my job so I can support my family. You say I'm fake because I don't act like normal people, who are you to say what normal, is?
