The Death Cage... Probably the best idea Xavier Williams ever had. Its a match I know well. Its a match I've fought in twice now... and won twice. Its the match Falcon and I will be facing in this coming Sunday night. Its the match thats going to change history and pave the way for the future.
"Your bat sh!t crazy, you know that?"

Shelly and I have only just finished getting our things together in the locker room. We're heading out the door into the hall way when she posed here pseudo question to me.
"Was that a question or a statement?"[/color]
She smiles and jabs me in the shoulder.
"You've got to be crazy to challenge your best friend to a match I've seen you nearly kill people in."[/color]
"We're big boys babe, we can handle it."[/color]
The exit to the building is just up ahead, but she stops me and peers into my eyes.
"I know you are. It's just, Kyle's a friend and I know how determined you are to win this time...[/color]
"Shelly, relax, we've got this under...[/color]
"NO, listen to me for a change Angel. I know how you get in that ring. Call it drive, heart, I call it a blood lust. Your like a shark in there and once you smell that blood, once you get a taste, you go crazy. And this isn't the Ace or Burns or Joe Everyman. This is Falcon, a man you've wrestled side by side with for ten years now. He knows you move for move for move. He will be able to match you at every turn Angel. Do you understand that?[/color]
"I was counting on it actually."[/color]
"Good, because Kyle is too and if I know you two your going to ignore everyone around you and just do whatever the hell you want."[/color]
"Sounds about right."[/color]
"Well I'm not going to tell you to hold back or to try not to hurt him... Angel, you need to do what you have to do to win. I don't care what it takes, do you understand me babe? Inside that steel cage, Falcon IS NOT your best friend, he is not our daughter's God Father, he is the nCw World Champion and he is the next man you have to over come in that ring. Do you understand me Angel? I want you to win and bring home that World Title, but most of all I want you to prove to him and the rest of nCw why you are the greatest wrestler this company will ever see."[/color]
Shelly grabs me by the back of the head and pulls me in for a deep kiss, her tongue rammed in my mouth, massaging my own.
"Beat him."[/color]
Falcon seems to think I've been able to beat him in the past because I've had something tangible and he didn't, until now. All I have, all I have ever had was my raw determination to bury every single competitor I ever stepped in the ring with.
For me it isn't just about winning, it isn't just about being better than the person across from me, it's about being the absolute best there is. Your ideals may be enough for you and that world title may just be a trinket, but not for me. That belt you wear is a symbol that represents everything I've been fighting for since the day I arrived in nCw.
It's you wearing that belt that keeps me wrestling.
Four months ago I hit a brick wall, I lost to Philip Burns in a big match and walked away from wrestling. I sat at home for nearly two months wondering what the hell I was doing wrong. Then I saw you Kyle, standing in the ring with Sexy Jason and Jack Hammond. I saw you running the ropes and dominating that match. I saw you and realized you needed to be fighting me.
Call it Destiny.
I knew the moment we'd talked about for years was coming, when you and I would stand in that ring with the World Title on the Line. I came back and entered the Riot Match, I defeated Lance Ryan, I won the Riot, I beat the Ace and Joe Everyman. I felt that fire inside again. That need to stand on top of this company and finally claim the World title as my own.
And I have to thank you Kyle, it's because of you that I came back to nCw, it's because of you I won that Riot match and it's because of you that I'm standing here today.
But your promising me your best because your World Title is on the line, a Falcon I've never seen before. Tell me Kyle, what do you think your going to get from me?
I have everything to lose in this match and infinitely more to gain. This single match is the culmination of my career. This is my time to shine, to finally achieve what I came here to achieve. You ask if I have any tricks left? I ask if you have the guts to put me down?
Your good Falcon, probably the best I will ever wrestle, but do you have it in you to end my career over that World Title?
I do.
I can.
And I will if I have to.
Your my best friend Kyle, but your the World Champion first. I know I'm going to get your best but your going to get something you've never faced before.
Our dreams come true Sunday, but I'm afraid for you it will be much more like a nightmare inside that cage. Mike was right to warn you, to remind you of what I'm capable of Falcon. Because in all our time together I've never seen you with that kill or be killed look in your eyes. Sure, I've seen you determined, I've seen you pissed, but I've never seen you truly challenged, fighting for your own survival.
The Death Cage isn't simply about defeating your opponent. There are no pin falls, no submissions, no count outs. You literally have to incapacitate your opponent before you can climb that cage and grab the title. Go back and watch those matches again Falcon. Watch me throw Xavier Williams to his fate from on top of that cage. Watch me punish and try to kill my own brother in that cage.
Watch, see the look in my eyes and realize your not fighting for the World Title. Your not fighting for respect.
Your fighting for your very survival.
The End.[/center]
As I witness the death of innocence
A predator feeding on its creation
Through the fallout of this hallucination
I walked into darkness
Must not surrender my god to anyone
or this body will become carrion
One step closer
One step closer to my fate
One step closer
One step closer to the grave
