There's only one thing I want
From this match
There's only one thing I want to take away
From this match
There's only one thing I crave
From this match
There is one prize that every NCW superstar wants, there is only one prize that all other wrestlers in this country want to some day hold in their hands. The NCW World Championship, I'm one of the lucky few who have gotten to hold it in my hands already, I'm one of the few who has reached that pedestal and has felt the thrill of being known as “the best”. I did whatever it took to get there, I gave every fiber of my being to achieve that goal and accomplish the dreams somebody else had for me.
That title has caused man men to run off to war ill prepared for the sacrifice it would take to reach the summit, ill prepared for the toll the climb would take on their bodies. They just wanted it, they didn't care how, they didn't care what it took until it was too late. So many times somebody claimed that's what they wanted, somebody claimed that was where they were headed but in the end they weren't ready, they never were, in the end they just couldn't handle it.
Can you really blame them though? Can you look at them and say they were foolish in their desires? No. You can degrade them and ridicule them for failing for not having the foresight to see that they weren't ready but you can't hold it against them because they dared to dream of that beautiful golden belt. They dared to dream of being at the top of the mountain like I once was. Were they visionaries? Of course not, they just wanted some fame, they just wanted to be recognized, to have a feeling of worth. Misguided, misinformed, not ready... but not stupid no.. wanting to accomplish something and trying with all you have isn't stupid, no matter how hard you fall.
Many men have tried for that belt have have fallen. AJ Phoenix, Joe Everyman, KLB, Xavier Cross, Will Washington, Brad Kane, Dave Holland and the king of them all... Davey Ortega. They've all tasted the sting of being so close and not walking away with the prize they seeked, they've all felt how hard it is to work for so long to get to that point, to see it all slip away in the blink of an eye. Yet, they'd all be willing to work again, they'd all be willing to fight again, they'd be willing to feel that pain a thousand times over for a chance to touch that belt. Just a chance to get that close again, they'd go through all that.... just to be in the position that I'm in... yet here I am.. and I don't care.

Maybe I should care, maybe I should feel honored to be in this position one more time, but no, if you think for a second that what I want from this match is that title, then you're a damn fool. If you think for a minute that I care about being the NCW World Champion again, than you've not been paying any attention. So many other men care about that strap, care about winning this match, yet I couldn't care less. Would being the NCW champion for a second time be nice, it sure would. Would having my Hall of Fame career even more cemented be a good accomplishment, it certainly would. However it's not what I want, it's not what I need, it's not something that in the end will give me happiness.
Angel you can keep your belt, you can keep your glory, you can walk out of this match the same way you walked in, I don't care about you or what you want. I don't care about that title that is around your waist, I don't care about some idiotic desire you have to embarrass Brad Kane because he beat you before. Everybody loses, everybody falls, so what... but I don't care. Your title doesn't mean a thing to me, I'd have preferred to not even get you dragged into this, I'd have preferred to leave it at me and Steve, but see he had other plans, he wanted to be the “Face of the Franchise”, I just want to see my kid without having Leonard's security goons watching my every move. If there is one thing in this world that shows you're human Angel, it's your daughter, I've seen it, I've known first hand what she does to you, she turns “the monster” into a whimpering puppy, so you should know how I feel.
This isn't about you, or a championship, however it was the only way I could get to Steve, it was the only way they I could get to where I needed to be to get my pay back. I had to force my way into this match, I had to drive for the main event, I had to get my hands around Steve's neck. I couldn't let it slide, I tried. I tried to say “forget it” and just live happily with Kelly, just let her slavery sentence run out then we could ride off into the sunset together, Steve could do whatever he wanted, try and gain whatever gold he wanted, me and Kelly would just be happy in each other's arms. What he did to me though... I missed the birth of my child because of him... that's when things went too far, that's when I had to snap his neck. I realized I couldn't leave things be, I had to stand up and fight, and if that means knocking down every pin that somehow for whatever reason gets put in my way, then I'll do so.

You can keep your dreams Brad, you can keep your ambitions, I don't want them. I don't desire to be known throughout the annuals of NCW lore as the greatest competitor there was. That's more in tune to what you want, more in line with what you crave. Keep dreaming, keep fighting for your goal, keep trying to be the best... I'll be your biggest cheerleader if you do. I want to see you succeed because I see how hard you fight to do so. I see how much it means to you, how much it drives you. I have nothing against you Kane, I would have been the first person cheering you one if this match was between you and Angel, if Steve would of never gotten involved, I would have been there in support of you accomplishing your dreams.
You are the one Angel wanted, you were the one who deserved this shot all to yourself, You bested Angel, you earned your way into this main event, you weren't handed it on a silver platter like Steve was, you weren't given the opportunity by being hand picked. You fought for this, you bled for this and thanks to Steve, you have to share this moment in the spotlight, and thanks to Steve, you're not going to see your dreams come true.
I don't want to fight you BK, I don't want to have to crush the hopes of yours, I don't want to rip your every desire away, but I have to. I'm forced to. To stop Steve, to make him pay, I would go through anybody, I would break everybody who got in my way. You were dragged into this, just like Angel, you didn't try and stand between us, it was forced on you. I'm sorry for that, forgive me for what I'm going to have to do, forgive me for taking everything away from you.
It has to be done because somethings in this life go beyond ideal dreams, somethings in this life have to be fought for, and Ryleigh is my reason to go on. She's the reason I have to get to Steve, she's the reason I have to win and crush his spirits, she's the reason I have to fight you and Angel, she's the reason I have to break you and Angel... I have to make Steve miserable, I have to.... I have to.
There's only one thing...
one thing...
that will make me happy...
I don't want gold, I don't want accomplishments, I don't want anything to inflate my ego. I don't want to take Angel's belt, I don't wan't to break Brad Kane's dreams. I don't want to sit on a throne of lies anymore. I don't want to wear the crown anymore....
He took away what was supposed to be the happiest moment of my life. The birth of my daughter, the thing in this life that is the pinnacle of me and Kelly's relationship the idol that shows our love for one another. Ryleigh is part me, she's part Kelly, she's us combined, she's the representation of our souls joining together, and I wasn't there... because of him. This goes so far beyond what you can imagine, this goes so far beyond words.
You think this is about winning? You think this is about championships? This is about my little girl, this is about my wonderful wife, this is about my life. Screw everything else, this is about my very existence, and I won't be denied... I would destroy the foundation and bring the walls crashing down for this, you don't do that for “gold” you do that for “love”. They are the reasons I keep fighting, they are the reasons I carry on through the pain, they are the reasons I'm alive.
There is only one thing I want....
To see Steve hurt...
To see Awesome burn...
To make him pay...
To take the last breath from his lungs...
I want one thing...
Revenge.
