Joe Gacy says it is fitting that Saturday is In Your House. That is where Bron’s anger was cultivated. Bron would watch his father blaze his Hall of Fame career. His career was based on power and physicality. Rick would come home and instead of breaking up fights, he would allow it to continue. Fighting was normal for Rick and Scott. It was not survival of the fittest only in the ring. Bron was the same way on the gridiron. You knew your aggression needed a better home. It needed to live in the squared circle. Like father, like son. Bron went up the ranks quickly to become champion. He is a two time champion. The apple does not fall too far from the tree.

How did I find this out? I spent time with your father. The truth is revealed. Your father settles things with fists. It is not your fault you are prone to lash out. Lash out and be the man you truly are. Let the anger consume you and give him what he deserves. It is better to get even than to win the match. You need to go outside the rules for your sake and your family’s sake. One way or another, that NXT Championship is coming home with him. Joe laughs.
