The DVD menu appears again on the screen and a little arrow goes to the chapters section. It then clicks on chapter 2 "Life Outside of Wrestling" The camera then pans to Matt sitting in the dark room with the XWF logo behind him.

Matt- I have always been told I was a cute child by people. My mom always tells me how I used to light up a room simply just by smiling. My mother was my biggest supporter in life. No matter what I did good or bad she always supported my decisions. Without her constant support I probably wouldn't be sitting here talking to you guys. It's funny because at first she didn't like me watching wrestling because it might give me ideas. Especially when she saw Stone Cold on the TV cussing and giving people the finger and drinking beer. But eventually she really knew that I enjoyed it and me happy made her happy.

The camera pans onto pictures of Matt and his mother.

Matt- Me and my father used to be close when I was much younger and when I mean much younger I mean maybe 7 or 8. My parents got divorced when I was around that age and after that my dad kind of forgot about me. I was always asking my mom, when is daddy coming home; I miss daddy, where is he? She never really gave me a full answer because what do you tell an 8 year old when they ask that. Now that I look back at her not answering it was probably the best thing she could have done because a few years down the road in my teens me and him re connected and it ended up in the shitter.

The camera pans to a home video of Matt and his dad watching wrestling when he was a young child.

Matt- During the years my father wasn't around me and my mother were left alone. Our closest relatives lived in Florida and we didn't have the money to go down there and we didn't have enough room for them to come visit. So it was just me and my mother in a 1 bedroom apartment. Sometimes I would wake up in the middle of the night and my mother would be crying. I was too afraid to ask her what was wrong so I always pretended I was asleep.

The camera pans to Matt walking around his old apartment after it being years since he had lived there.

Matt- This was my room, see how tiny it is. My mom slept in the living room on our couch. God this place is a fucking mess.

The camera looks all over the apartment, nobody lives there anymore and it looks really dirty and there are bugs all over the place. Matt gets a little teary eyed as he looks around.

Matt- It is a fucking shame what they have let this complex come to. This place was bad but it wasn't as bad as you see it right now. Jesus Christ.

The camera pans back to Matt in the room and he was watching the little video clip of him walking through his old home.

Matt- Watching this just breaks my heart. I have been in talks with the owners of the property and I am actually trying to get that complex torn down. To think a mother and her son lived there all alone with no father or husband figure.

Interviewer- What happened when you got back into contact with your father in your teen years?

Matt- Well he came back into my life in 2001. I was 13 at the time and when he called I didn't even recognize who it was. When he told me I got real quiet and I hung up on him. I didn't talk to him for another couple weeks and he called again, and we talked for a little bit and we agreed to meet up for lunch. He came and picked me up and we ate at a little diner and all was good. Everything was going great and we went out to lunch once a week for a few months and then for my 14th birthday him and my mother told me that I was going to go to my fathers every other weekend. So we did this for a little while, maybe for 6 months and that is when things started going bad. I was sitting at his house by myself and he came home late one night really drunk. He woke me up from sleeping and sat on my bed a while and talked to me and told me how my mother didn't love me and how much she hated me. I sat there and cried my eyes out because I knew he was lying and I hated hearing him talk bad about my mother. So the next day of that weekend he was drunk again and I was in the kitchen making some food. Out of know where, boom! I feel this pain coming across my face! I turn around and my dad is laughing at me. He actually fucking hit me in the face. I didn't know what to do, I stood there because I didn't want to get in an altercation with my own father. I knew he wasn't meaning to do this because he was drunk so I just let him finish beating on me and he eventually passed out in his recliner. The next day was Monday and my dad took me into school and I had a black eye. I was so upset because all the other kids were looking at me and I could tell they were talking about me. My mom picked me up from school and she was pissed she asked me what happened to me. I told her I fell and hit my eye on a door knob. I couldn't believe she actually believed my story.

The camera pans to a picture of Matts father.

Matt- The next few times I went to my fathers he was always drunk and was constantly putting me down. At that point I knew my father was an alcoholic, I hated him so much for it. So one night he was going to hit me again and right as he was going to hit me I moved out of the way and I nailed him right in the nose. He fell straight to the ground and when he got back up he looked so angry, he had blood pouring from his nose. He tackled me to the floor and we rolled around some and I ended up on top and I just started swinging away. Every hit I connected with just made me angrier, I could hear him screaming help. Finally I let up and I ran away. I ran from Glen Burnie all the way to Pasadena! Might I remind you that is a hike. I banged on my mothers apartment door leaving blood stains from my hands all over her white door. When she answered she looked scared out of her mind, that's when I ran and hugged her and I never let go. I told her what had been happening and that's when a loud knock was heard at the door. It was the police looking for me, and my dad was with them with his broken nose. The cops were going to arrest me but my mother told them what I told them and they looked at my father and arrested him instead. I remember that entire night me and my mother sat on the couch crying. I told my mom I loved her over and over again. At the trial my father wept on the stand saying how much of a bad father he was. I of course testified and he was found guilty and he spend a couple years in prison. While he was in prison, his lawyer came to me and my mothers house and he told us my father wants to give us his home. Yeah he actually gave us his home.

The camera pans to a picture of the house.

Matt- This was the house my mother would stay in until I came here to XWF. This is the same house in which me and my friends built that half ass wrestling ring.

Interviewer- When your dad got out of prison, what happened?

Matt- When he got out we were informed by the his lawyer. He told us that my father had chosen to move out to California with his family and promised he would pay for the house where we lived. He kept his promise up until we moved out. I have not seen him since he got out and I have no intention of ever seeing him ever again.

The camera pans to a picture of his father and fades out back to Matt sitting in the dark room.

Matt- My mother is still living with me, we still live in Pasadena Maryland and we are loving life. I will always make sure she is okay and that she is living the good life. I promised her when I got my first XWF paycheck that I would always take care of her. She tries to make it out to as many shows as she can but she isn't super woman even though she is my super woman.

The camera pans to a picture of Matt and his mom standing in front of their large home.

Matt- My mother has encouraged me to start doing charity work now that I have the money so I can help people. I have started doing wishes with Make A Wish Foundation. And I am also donating money to ASPCA because I love animals especially dogs. I own 3 myself!

The camera then pans to a picture of Matt and his wife Laura on their wedding day.

Matt- I met Laura in high school, I was a senior and she was a sophomore. The day we met I instantly fell in love, it was love at first sight. We dated for 6 years and then I finally popped the question and we recently just got married not too long ago. We are the definition of high school sweethearts and I hope to be married to this beautiful woman for the rest of my life.

The camera fades to a black screen and white typing begins appearing on the screen.

Since the filming of this movie, Matt has torn down the old apartment that he and his mother used to live in. He bought the land and is now building a community center in its place. It will be called the Find Your True Self Center.

The camera fades out from the chapter.
