"How do I beat Falcon?
It's a question I started asking myself the minute I threw Steve Awesome out of that ring. Now, an arrogant person would say...
"I've beaten him before, I can beat him again."
The words flow off my tongue easily enough, it would take nothing to just throw them out there as some sort of random, yet true fact toward the man I will be facing. Except, Falcon is on top of his game, he's better than he's ever been and in all the times we've squared off, the stakes have never been this high. He's the World Champion of nCw, he's been on something of a roll for months, he's defeated men I haven't in matches that make me shiver. In all the history of this company there has never been a man so deserving of that title and yet, with all that information, with all those facts, with all that riding against me I just can't seem to really doubt myself this time.
No, I don't know exactly what I'm going to do. No, I don't have a master plan. No, I haven't faced Falcon in a very long time. The battles we've had in and out of nCw are legendary, people aspire to do what we did in that ring together and yet this time it's all new and all different because its for the World title. We don't hate each other, this isn't some ridiculous feud over some 90210 garbage, this is two men who respect each other battling it out for the top prize in the industry. And I'm going to be honest, I'm not exactly sure how to approach this match. We're friends, we're family, we're brothers and some how we have to have this match without it turning into something ugly.
Some of you may doubt my ability to fight for the World title and not have it turn ugly, after all, we all know my history, we all know what I'll do to put myself over, we've seen it a thousand times. I don't hold back, I don't pull punches and I absolutely don't care who you put on the other side of the ring with me, when that bell rings it's survival of the fittest."

Now is the time
For me to step into your mind, listen up
Cause now is the time
For me to stand and be the one
Second to none
And time for you
To stand and be
The man that I am
The man
"When I think about that world title, what it must feel like to wear it around your waist, the buzz I'm sure you get knowing you have proof that your the best on the entire planet, I can almost see myself burying you in the ground Kyle. I can almost feel the old desires to crush you for nothing more than what you wear around your waist. I can see myself trying to end your career for something I know will only be a brief moment in what I hope to be a long career. I can see it, but it's not going to happen, not this time.
I don't need to go that far.
You see Kyle, I know when you saw me win the Riot you were filled with mixed emotions. Happiness at the thought of a real challenger, excitement for the probability of a five star match that will live on long after we're gone, and... Doubt... Because you know what I can do in that ring better than anyone. Despite the way you present yourself to the world, I can read you like a book and the moment I won you realized your title reign might just be over. It occurred to you, unlike with Awesome, Jason, Hammond or Cross, that I could be your final challenge, your final test as a champion. January 31st could be your last night with that title. It's not arrogance on my part to assume your doubting yourself and your abilities right now and it's ok to admit it. I know you Kyle, I know how you think and I know when you feel like you've already been beaten before the bell even rings. You feel this one. You know the time is now. You know in your heart that I'm not going down, I'm not going away and I'm not giving up."

Now is the time
For me to step into the light, step it up
Cause now is the time
Now is my time
Now is our time
Now is the time
For me to stand up for the right
And I'm ready and willing to fight
For the master plan of the man
With the jam has the upper hand
Here I am
"But you know as well as I do that this defense could make you, not just for the historical implication of having the longest World title reign, but because the entire roster doubts you even more than you doubt yourself.
From the moment you joined nCw you've been looked down upon and cast aside, you've fought for years to gain the respect of your peers and even now you don't get it. You started your own stable based simply on the fact that no one seemed to care about you. You've done everything right, beaten all the right names, won all the right matches and still your not really thought of as on the same level as Lance Ryan or Spike Kane, your not thought of with the same reverence as them either. Your just thought of as Falcon and everyone is waiting for you to fall.
And it pisses you off.
Because people don't think of you the same way they think of me. They think of me as an Uncrowned World Champion, an eventual Hall of Fame Wrestler, someone who can and probably will take that World Title from you. You've heard them talking, you've seen the headlines on the message boards, you know the entire world is against you at Metamorphosis and thats why this is a must win situation for you. If you don't beat me then everything you've done up until now will be thought of as a fluke. And that isn't me saying it Kyle, that isn't really my opinion, but the opinion of everyone else. The wrestlers, the fans, the critics.
I don't care if you bother to admit it, you don't have to. The fact of the matter is, beat me and you solidify your legacy. Beat me and you get that respect you deserve. Beat me and you become a living legend. Not because I'm unbeatable but because I am your last great challenge.
Lose and you wind up right back where you started... My shadow."

Now is the time
For me to rise above the crowd
And I'm doing it loud and proud
For the master plan I began
With the jam here I am
"How do I beat Falcon?
Thats what I've been asking myself and I think I have the answer.
I don't have you.
You have to beat me.
Call it arrogance, but I promise you Kyle, I am not going to lose. This match is exactly what I've been fighting for since I got here. I wanted to save nCw, to bring back pride and honor to wrestling, to restore a sense of nobility to the ring and here we are. Two sides of the same coin. We stand for the same things, fight for the same reasons. The only difference is, while you've walked in my foot steps, I lead the way. Your a great champion, no doubt, a great person and a better friend, but your not a leader.... Your not a Savior. You've done well for yourself Falcon, you've beaten some of the most arrogant men this promotion has to offer. You've made examples of the biggest scum bags in the wrestling industry. You've shown everyone that it takes more than a silver tongue and cute nick name to earn the World title. But at the end of the day your holding something that rightfully should of been mine years ago.
And you know it.
I'm not asking you to give it to me, I'm informing you that I've come to take it. Thank you for everything you've done Kyle but unfortunately..."
