Vincent 'Vino' Marconi: steps forward, fists clenched
I'm with my parents at a family reunion on a luxury yacht Not looong enough for you?
narrows his eyes You think this is about length? This ain't about no goddamn length! It's about respect, you prick!
smirks Oh, you think you know me, huh? You think you can push my buttons? Well, let me tell you something, you pompous fuck.
cracks his knuckles Grew up tough? You ain't seen nothing yet, you piece of shit! I've spent years honing my skills, perfecting my craft.
And I've spent years running from the family
Running from the family? Is that it? Is that your excuse for being a fuck-up? Well, let me tell you something, you sorry excuse for a brother.
You were never there for me
points a finger at IllusiveMarsh You think I wasn't there for you? You think I didn't care?
Then why did you leave me alone? Why did you abandon me?
takes a deep breath, his voice softens Look, kid, I didn't leave you alone. I was trying to protect you.
pauses, his gaze drops to the floor I... I was trying to protect you from the darkness that consumed me.
What are you talking about?
Vincent reveals a deep-seated family secret that changes everything IllusiveMarsh thought he knew about him.
Wait...you weren't really my brother?
grabs IllusiveMarsh by the collar No, I wasn't your brother - at least not by blood. But I damn well cared about you, more than any brother could ever care.
releases IllusiveMarsh's collar and takes a step back I left because I thought it was the best thing for you.
takes a deep breath, his voice filled with regret I left because I didn't want to drag you into the mess I had created.
grabs a bottle of champagne from a nearby table and pops it open You want to know the truth? The real reason I left?
takes a swig from the champagne bottle The real reason I left was because I was running from my past.
pauses, his gaze distant as he reminisces I grew up in a rough neighborhood, surrounded by criminals and gangsters.
takes another swig from the champagne bottle It was a dark world, filled with violence and corruption.
Did you get involved in that lifestyle?
pauses, his eyes filled with regret Yeah, I did. I got caught up in the gangster lifestyle, just trying to survive.
How did you meet mom and dad then?
puts down the champagne bottle and takes a deep breath I met your mom and dad when I was a young man, fresh on the streets.
nods Yeah, they took you in when you were just a kid. They gave you a chance to have a better life, away from that dark world.
So that's where I got my love for wrestling?
smirks Yeah, I guess you inherited your love for wrestling from your mom and dad. They were both wrestling fans back in the day.
