A vignette aired on the November 21st episode of TNA iMPACT! showing Steve Maclin confronting his past, including his time in the United States Marines Corps.
Eric Young was featured in the vignette, asking Maclin if he can trust him.
"You can trust the truth."
Maclin commented on putting the vignette together, saying it was a dream come true as he wanted to "show the mental state of millions of combat veterans & the struggles we face on a daily basis."
Putting this together was a dream come true.

To realistically show the mental state of millions of combat veterans & the struggles we face on a daily basis is, & always has been, a very important piece of my work as a professional wrestler.
I hope you enjoy a look into my mind. https://t.co/OxrW3njJGg

Many wrestlers commented on the vignette, including Maclin's wife Deonna Purrazzo.
I cannot articulate just how accurate this is of your life. The nights you’ve woken up, drenched in sweat, only to tell me about dreams just like this.

I know this wasn’t an easy project to dive into but proud doesn’t begin to describe how I felt watching this for the first… https://t.co/EjOHPok8hH
To capture the experience of armed forces members after they have served is unbelievably complex and intricate. This is a masterpiece. https://t.co/h1PHvoMWFI
