Dark and Light.
Good and Bad.
Right and Wrong.
Polar opposites that we can choose to indulge, or to disregard, as we take our steps down the path of life.
It is time to stop letting people delude you, Kelly.
Walk your own path, rather than the one they declare is predestined.

I respect you.
You respect me.
We’re all one big ****ing happy family.
What the hell is this? A tea party? Bring your ovaries to work day? I know there are conventions to follow guys, but seriously, this is a fight, not an ego stroking contest. What ever happened to being honest?
What happened to calling a spade, a spade?
Are we really going to roll out honey coated platitudes all weekend and give each other big verbal hugs? Don’t get me wrong, I have no problem with being told how good I am, but ever since it became increasingly more difficult to argue against my ability it seems nobody has the balls to call me a jackass anymore.
So, without further a due, let me get the diplomacy well and truly out of the way, and say I respect some of you, care little about the rest and ultimately only a couple of you are on my Christmas card list. So, with the circle jerk out of the way, let me talk about my illustrious comrade for the week.
I spent enough time waxing lyrical about Lex last week, so for his sake, and mine, let me just cut straight to the chase and direct to you, “Champ”.
I had great hopes for you Xander, you fought five other gladiators to reign supreme in the Coliseum and then, after falling at the first hurdle, you picked yourself up, dusted yourself down, ripped my title away from me and marched down the Road to the Gold and made sure that you didn’t mess up a second time.
Everything you did made me believe that finally this cesspool of human depravity would have a World Champion who had earned his spot, rather than browned nosed his way into it.
And then you went a spoilt it all by doing something stupid.
You fell into the same self–interested ego trip every single man before you has bought into, this “Heirarchy” has absolutely nothing to do with proving who is the most dominant in NCW.
It is about making sure you stay on top, no matter what it takes.
You brag about being the best Xander, but the best doesn’t need his family and friends to ensure he stays relevant. You may have dominated this company for the best part of six months, but after all that hard work you seem to have decided that you want to take the easy way out by hiding behind a faction whose self-centred piety is quickly becoming tedious on so many levels.
It is no accomplishment to stay on top when you have your Daddy keeping you there Famularo.
Enjoy playing with Todd up until Metamorphosis, maybe once you’re done you can step in front of your bodyguards and prove to the world why you’re really are “the best”.
I’ll be waiting, get back to me when Zelda gives you your balls back.

The clock is ticking Kelly.
You can’t put it off forever.
Sooner or later you’re going to have to decide what you’re going to do with that torch Leonard gave you.
You can save New Championship Wrestling or fiddle whilst the Empire burns.

It almost seems fitting to start with you first Todd, given our somewhat chequered past.
So I am going to throw a curve ball and start with Alex Jones, the man who arguably catapulted me out of the midcard purgatory when I pinned him in August to become National Champion.
So how’s it been Alex?
You know what, don’t answer that, we both know the answer.
Ever since I pinned you and did what Andrew Jacobsen repeatedly failed to do on numerous occasions, despite possessing all the potential in the world and trust me that is relevant to this whole promo, you have just completely disappeared off the map.
Oh, sure, you and Spike Kane put on one hell of a show at A Time to Riot but quite honestly, what else have you done since August? Take this any way you want Alex but you’ve sunken into a pit of irrelevance that almost rivals Joe Everyman.
Almost.
You see, whilst you all might think otherwise and will openly scoff at the suggestion your entire team one thing in common that eternally unites you all under the same banner.
You have all the talent in the world, but none of you have made anything of it.
Now before you whip out your list of accomplishments, let be perfectly blunt with you Jones. Considering all the talent you possess you have achieved absolutely nothing which couldn’t be said to have been expected of you.
Your career has proven nothing we didn’t already know, you’re a confident performer who can push the best to their limits when you want to.
Whilst we may not have reached the heights either us may have desired after dropping the National Championship, the comparison between us both ends there.
Whilst you have spent the past four months being utterly forgettable I have continued to make a name for myself. I was moments away from being in that hallowed position that Todd Williams holds and last week I beat the man who took my championship from me and the man who only weeks ago buried a legend.
The difference between you and me Alex is that I do not accept mediocrity from myself or my peers. You have drifted back into the shadows and instead of tearing out of Hades with a torch in one hand and a one way ticket to the World Championship in the other you have settled for being out of the limelight.
You may be disappointed that I have yet to make that next step Alex, but you should be more concerned with yourself. Men like you shouldn’t be dossing around being a jobber to the stars, you should be making sure that Xander Famularo doesn’t sit atop his throne so comfortably.
It is time to stop standing in the shadows of giants.

They say that children go through life doing everything they can to avoid being like their parents.
Avoiding their mistakes.
Erasing their faults from your own personality.
When the time is right, I hope you do everything you can to be the exact opposite of your father.
There is no more room for another Leonard Fox.
Don’t let your friends create another tyrant.

Do you ever grow tired of what comes out your mouth Jimmy?
I know I do.
This isn’t the first time, and I seriously doubt it’ll be the last, that I get to tune into an episode of Jimmy Zane’s Pep Rally.
Give it a rest Jimmy, we both know that regardless of how many times you build yourself up you only manage to undo all your hard work in the end.
And that is the problem.
As much as you bemoan your luck every single week, the only person you have to blame is yourself Jimmy. It doesn’t matter if you’re paired up with the Whitest Black man in history and his passive aggressive choke artist friend, the only person you will have to blame for your failure this weekend is yourself.
For every victory over Adam Knite on your résumé there is a calamity waiting to follow it. You have this insane ability to raise your game when everybody has written you off but when you finally start to earn a bit of respect around this joint you go and screw it up and there is only one person to blame for you inability to find any closure.
You.
When I said that you, Alex and Todd have more in common than you care to admit I was right on the money. All three of you have so much potential but every single time you stamp your name on the map you erase it just as quickly with something as equally memorable, only for all the wrong reasons.
You were always one half of the weak link in the Young Guns Jimmy because just like Andrew you have a knack for completely screwing up all the God given talent you possess. There is a reason why me and Lex have continued to dress ourselves in glory and you two have fallen off the radar and it is quite simple.
We don’t waste our opportunities.
You can continue to big yourself up all you like Jimmy, but for as long as you continue to fail to capitalise on your momentum nobody will ever, and I mean ever, want to be the “next Jimmy Zane”.
Right now you are on course to being remembered as one of the countless choke artists that populate the annals of this companies history and you have nobody to blame but yourself. You may well feel like you have drawn the short straw this week Jimmy but in reality, you’ve won the *** damn lottery.
Me, Xander and Lex are at the pinnacle of NCW and for the second week running you have an opportunity to prove that you deserve to be considered as our equal. You defeated Adam Knite a week ago, now is your chance to prove to the world that it wasn’t just a usual Jimmy Zane flash in the pan.
You can be a bridesmaid for the rest of yourself if you like Jimmy, always blaming somebody else, or you can man up and make the rest of NCW stand up and take notice of you.
The buck stops with you.

You’ve had time to think.
Time to mull over your options.
But the clock is running out Kelly.
Sooner or later I will be coming to collect my answer.
For the sake of your company, do the right thing.

And that brings me to you, Todd.
It seems like only yesterday I was routinely embarrassing you week in, week out whilst you petulantly wrestled with your emotions as some woman stood between you and finally making sure that your name wasn’t a running joke amongst the rest of the boys backstage.
Fast forward six or so months and…well, you’ve not changed too much. Once again you have bought yourself a ticket to the top and once again there is a woman in your life who is stood in the middle of it all, only this time you still have a chance to make sure that it doesn’t stop you for fulfilling your potential.
The question is Todd, have you got what it takes to put all your personal bull**** aside for the sake of your career?
As much as Kelly has a choice to make, so do you.
For once in your career you’ve genuinely achieved something that very few others have, you are the man who won the Riot to book yourself a shot at Xander Famularo but if you don’t make use of it we can just file next to your X-Championship reign.
It is time to drop the eccentricities and grow up Todd, because if you don’t make the most of this chance you are going to regret this for the rest of your career.
Winning the Riot in this business is a once in a lifetime opportunity, but that is all it is Todd. An opportunity.
It is your shot at Famularo, but if you fail to topple him then winning the Riot will mean nothing, no matter how long you will undoubtedly live off that glory. You’re half way there Williams, but now it is time for you to put on your big boy boots and kick the living day lights out of the man who has spent the past month telling the world how much you suck.
That is, if you can make this about you and him and not about you and your sister.
As long as you make your career a living representation of you desperate wish to have some control over the women in your life you will never achieve anything. This shouldn’t be about Crystal, it shouldn’t be about Jennifer and it shouldn’t even be about your daughter.
This is about Todd Williams finally stepping up and stopping being such a ****ing bitch.
As much as you and I have never seen eye to eye, let me give you this advice Todd. You can waste away all your talent if you like but there comes a time in your career when you have the opportunity to make up for all the mistakes you have made and carve out a name for yourself. If you grab it with two hands and make the most of it nobody will remember the period of your career when you were the biggest running joke in the company.
All they will remember is the night you walked down that ramp and punched Xander’s teeth down his throat.
So who do you want to be Todd?
The King or the Jester?
Viva La Révolution.
