*It cuts to commercial. It comes back in a gym with a wrestling ring in it. The camera pans around before stopping on Nigel Brooks standing in the corner. *



Brooks: Last video, I told you half of the story as to my feelings towards Tommy Preston. I've needed some time to compose myself before talking about the last part of the story. When I began wrestling training with my dad, I met this absolutely gorgeous woman. Brunette hair, beautiful hazel eyes, a perfect body, cute English accent. She sent me Scottish heart a flutter. I proposed shortly after our one year anniversary. Her friends and taken her on a trip to Amsterdam for her bachelorette party.



*His smile turns to a frown as he sighs. *

*He looks down, fighting back tears. He doesn't look up but continues to speak. *



Brooks: I will finish this story next week…right before I officially debut for GSW…
