The screen is black. There is the sound of weights being lifted, pounding footsteps on treadmills and bags being punched. The unmistakable sounds of a gym are confirmed when the picture fades up to reveal a small gym that’s full of people.
A man is seen, his back to the camera, looking out at the gym. He has a towel around his neck and he rubs his hands in preparation for a stint on the weights.
“I will get back to my best.”
The screen cuts to black again and the sound stops dead. After a brief moment there is a new sound, a sound familiar to any wrestling fan, the sound of bodies dropping on canvas. The picture fades up showing a gym where several youngsters are trying out with a wily old wrestling coach.
There’s a man stood watching the rookies go at it, his back to the camera. There’s a towel draped over his shoulder and the back of his hair is wet with sweat, evidence that he’s just finished his own workout.
“I will reach the top again.”
Again the screen cuts to black and the noise turns to silence.
“I will.”
