Satan - Defeat Of

Victory

A friend of mine once attended a wrestling match in which a ‘caped crusader’ was fighting a rather weak looking figure who seemed destined to lose from the very start of the bout. As the match continued the ‘caped crusader’ became more and more aggressive, throwing his opponent around the ring with complete abandon. The fight got more and more out of control, until the caped crusader flung his opponent out of the ring, and when the referee protested… he threw him out of the ring, too! Just then, as the so called ‘victor’ pranced about the ring proclaiming himself the ‘champion’, the spotlight slowly swung round to the entrance to the hall. There, standing in the doorway, was the famous wrestler ‘big daddy.’ Slowly and confidently he strode down the aisle, hauled himself into the ring, and threw the self-proclaimed ‘champion’ out of the ring. He leant over the ropes and pulled the referee and the ‘weaker’ wrestler back into the ring. He reached out his hands and lifted the arms of the ‘defeated’ wrestler high. He who had seemingly been defeated was now the winner.
