Fard Rock Classic: Brilliant Trees
Artista: David Sylvian
Etichetta: Virgin
Anno: 1984
Dopo le pettinature stridule del glam rock degli esordi, David Sylvian portò i Japan verso una raffinatezza sonora che finì inevitabilmente per ripercuotersi anche sull’immagine. Presentandosi come dandy moderni, sul modello dei loro idoli Roxy Music, anticiparono la corrente New Romantic diventandone in qualche modo l’archetipo perfetto: abiti…

“I’m a lover, not a fighter. You guys don’t know by now, I’m a lover, not a fighter. There’s one thing I learned throughout this rivalry of ours. When push comes to shove, you guys are as tough as they come. You taught us what it means to not only be a professional wrestler, but to be a wrestler. That’s just for real, guys, come on, put it up. I’ve bled, I’ve sweat, I’ve cried, I’ve been maimed, I’ve got scars that will never heal. But a wise man once said, ‘I can do this all day.’
“If you don’t want this to end here, we can keep this thing going. But I think I speak on behalf of all of this. The Golden Elite respects you. We respect this business. We respect the blood you’ve poured. We respect these fans that paid a ticket to see blood and guts. And if you guys want, I’ll shorten my career. I’ll shorten my life to keep this fight alive, but I’m willing to stick my hand out and shake yours. If you guys wanna let bygones be bygones, because love you or freaking hate you, Moxley, love you or hate you, Claudio, love you or hate your ugly ass [to Wheeler Yuta], I respect each and every one of you.
“I even respect the guy that couldn’t make it. Brian Danielson, who broke his arm for this company, who broke his arm for this business. I respect Ibushi, who flew for over 24 hours to make it here.
“I can’t. I can’t let that effort be in vain. If you guys want to keep doing it, so help me, God, I’ll keep doing it, but I’m gonna do it with a newfound respect for each and every one of you. But I’m gonna stick my hand out just this once, just once as a sign of respect, because gosh darn it, I respect the hell outta you guys.
[Each side shakes hands with the other. Blackpool Combat Club exit.]
“I’m not gonna lie, I never expect a scene like this to happen ever again.
“But one thing I do respect is that I will see Ibushi again here in an AEW ring and as long as I am an active performer in professional wrestling, I’m gonna go wherever these guys [points to Young Bucks] go.
“So whether I see you guys in Boston, whether I see you guys down the road for now, I must bid you adieu. So goodbye Boston and good night, BANG.”
