War. A continuing story in the grand scheme of human evolution. As a whole man is capable of amazing things. We are the dominant species of mammal on this planet, we have made technological advances in the last hundred years that have dwarfed the last thousand. We can grow food in climates that previously could of never supported them. We have genetic cloning and mapping. We can create something from nothing with the research into work with cells. But we are on the cusp of something truly great. Space exploration is revealing so much more, research into synthetic stem cells could soon make spinal cord and brain damage curable with a simple procedure. But with all the changes the human race has under gone, all the advances we’ve made, all the technology that has come and gone. One thing never changes....War......war never changes....
It may be a tagline, it may even be a cop out on the current situations the human race finds itself in. But it’s true. The methods of war change, the tactics, the weapons. But in the end the goal is the same. To destroy your opposition and beat them down until they quit. But once in a while a war comes alone where both sides refuse to quit no matter what happens. It’s a shame but the cracks are starting to appear.....
Alex and Angel seem to be throwing a football back and forth in the parking lot of the arena. Shelly and Tara can be seen chatting away in the corner Shelly holding hers and Alex’s’ newborn son Dylan, Tara looking very pregnant. Angel fires a pass to Alex who leaps up and tips it with one finger back down into his hands, just before Alex can throw it back Chad Lights pops out bouncing around like a monkey with some sort of crack addiction.
“Over here Alex over here.....”
Alex smirks and fires a ball at Chad that hits him square in the chest knocking him over, Chad stares up at the sky as Alex and Angel stand over him looking down.
“Chad?.....you ok man?...”
“You alive?...”
Chad goes cross eyed and tries to shake it off, Alex and Angel pull him to his feet and help dust him off.
“I thought you’d be able to catch that man, didn’t you say you played football in college?....”
Chad nods and sighs
“Yeah....Soccer....”
Alex and Angel look at each other and then back at Chad before bursting with laughter.
“Guys can we just get on with why I’m here?.....This week you face the rat pack, many in NCW have been impressed with them but at the same time disagree with their methods....”
Alex shakes his head as Angel steps forward.
“Chad. Carvetti and Holliday came from being big stars in other companies. They stepped into NCW and found out that their names mean nothing in this company. Now I admit it can be a little harsh, but it’s happened to us all. Steve Awesome, Spike Kane, Chris Diamond, Myself even Alex......we all know what it’s like to go from being the top dog somewhere else and then suddenly being at the bottom of the ladder....”
Alex steps in and smirks.
“That part of it we can sympathise with. We’ve been there and done that. But we all worked our way up from that bottom rung and became what we are today. Angel is a former world champion and future hall of famer. And me...my star is on the rise yet again...but these two....they believe they can take what they want by force...without working for it. I admire their guts and their moxy but truth is that we’re not going to stand by and watch as these two disrespectful jerks make their names off our blood and sweat.....”
Chad pulls the mic away and nods as they pull back and let Angel and Alex talk amongst themselves.
“Dude...moxy?....”
“What?..I’m bringing it back.....”
“Let’s go to the bar...”
“Alright the speakeasy....”
“.....No Alex....no.....”
Alex just shrugs as the two men walk back to their wimmins....
“Words. That’s all we get from you. Words. When you had the chance to back up said words last month you failed. Then you had another opportunity. You could have shaken our hands, shown respect, but instead you spat on everything Angel and I stand for. And hey I’ll be the first one to admit that I took out your partner. I threw him off that balcony into the trash, where he belongs. It wasn’t really an act to injure, more of a symbolic humiliation. I did it to prove that anytime anyway I want I could take either of you out. See beneath the smiles and the cheers from the crowd Angel and I are two of the most cold sadistic men to ever grace NCW. My name may fill you with a sickness you can’t describe, but that’s what I am to you Ander, a sickness, a virus slowly sucking the life out of your career . A career that has only just started in NCW. A career that means nothing to me, just like your name.....”
“You can sit there and rack your brain back and forth over which one of us you’d rather beat, myself or Angel. Hell you can even bring up the fact I haven’t done nearly as much in my career as he has. Of course I’ve still done more than you’ll ever do. See Angel and I work together as a cohesive unit and although he is by far the more successful member of the team, I’m not without my own legacy to defend. You can look at my career here and sum it up in a few meaningless sentences, but the truth is it’s still more than you’ll ever do. Yes I am a tag team champion, yes I am a two time X-Division champion, a belt you may feel is, or rather was meaningless. Five men who have held the X Division title have gone on to be a world champion, five men. And I held that belt the longest out of anyone. My two reigns combined were almost six months of holding that title. In between defending that title, winning the tag belts, injuries and personal feuds I haven’t had the time, or the opportunity to win the world title......”
“You’re big on doing research right Ander?. The only chance at the NCW world title I had, I won the match, by DQ. Cause Adam knew I was within a pubic hair of winning that title. He knew I was going to beat him. I’ve beaten every big name in this company, including my own partner. Yet you can sit there and say with a straight face that a win over me wouldn’t mean anything?. Compared to Angel maybe you have a point, but in the grand scheme of things I’m still a champion and you’re still a nobody. You can come up and talk about your past career till you turn blue and lose your voice, in the end until you’ve done something in NCW you’re nothing. You may have been something in Supreme Wrestling and Imperia Wrestling and all those other places, but you’re still nothing here.....what’s wrong Ander?, you’re shocked I did research?. You’re not the only one who can use Google buddy. It’s funny but these companies you’ve been in, these companies you’ve dominated. Maybe two guys in this company know of. These places where you’ve been a major star are nothing compared to NCW. The company I came here from, almost everyone in NCW knows or was once a part of. So when I say I was a former champion of that “other” company, it means a little more than you two idiots. But wait maybe I’m supposed to be impressed that you got bullied then went and learned Muay thai before coming back and beating up a bully.....wow...really that’s awesome....after all you’re like the ONLY guy ever who got bullied then used a martial art like that..*coughkaretekidripoffcough*”
“But wait, I was smart enough to look for you on Google after your repeated “research” probes. Maybe you should do the same thing searching for “AJ Phoenix XHF” then you tell me what you find, then you look at my career in NCW and tell me that your fixation on the past and who you “are” or “were” means anything. I held every single major title in XHF but here in NCW it means NOTHING. And that Ander is what we’ve been trying to get into your thick skulls, you may have been a major player in UiWf or whatever other company you “dominated” but in NCW.....you’re a rookie who hasn’t shown me enough for me to care....”
“You and Holliday had your shots, you failed, Angel and I beat you yet you still believe we should be intimidated by you?. Kid we are the champions, we hold the titles, we have the legacy. You and Holliday are the challengers, chasing us, you have to beat us, you have to try and rise above, not the other way around. You can say you’re sharks with a taste for blood and all that jazz but in the end which one of us actually has a tag team partner that’s reliable?. I destroyed Johnny Holliday and you can call it what you want, a “sneak attack”, “cowardly” and whatnot, but in the end you don’t even know if Johnny Holliday is going to show up or what kind of shape he’ll be in. And if he doesn’t show up you said you’d be willing to take us on alone?. That’s brave, incredibly stupid, but brave. You and Holliday couldn’t get the job done together when you were both healthy you actually think you stand a chance by yourself if your partner goes AWOL?. What are you going to do Ander?. Talk us to death?. After going through everything you’ve said and having to listen to it over and over again I picked up a few highlights for people to enjoy. For starters you sat there and made excuses for a loss against Andrew Jacobsen. There is no excuse to losing to that over hyped piece of crap. You also asked if the beating we gave you last month was the best we’ve got. For starters, what does it matter if it’s the best we’ve got?. Cause it was good enough to beat you. But if you must know. No it wasn’t the best Angel and I had, we underestimated you. Our mistake, a mistake that we won’t make again. But this match shouldn’t even be happening. You two don’t even deserve a tag title shot....”
“In fact the only reason you’re getting one is cause the members of total eclipse and knitington are busy. But here’s the kicker, the fact you don’t deserve another shot is something you’re fully aware of, and freely admit. But what you won’t admit is that it was you who started this....Last month before you had even EARNED shots at us your partner Johnny Holliday ran his mouth about Angel and myself, he verbally bitch slapped us and called us out. You Ander, you had the brains to not rock the boat, you showed respect and you showed that you knew who we were, that’s why my efforts were focused on Johnny Holliday. But oh so quickly have you changed, and it’s because of the loyalty you have for your partner, I can respect that, hell I can even admit that as a singles competitor you are a force to be reckoned with. But the rat pack?. A group is only as strong as its weakest link and Johnny Holliday is your weak link. Think about it Ander, he was the one who started this with his big mouth, his outlandish comments and now what?, he seems rather..silent. He was the one who brought the entire wrath of the NCW locker room down upon you. He was the one who did it Ander, you wanted to earn your spot, you wanted to play by the rules, he didn’t. And now he’s left you holding the bag, cut him off Ander. He’s the dead weight in your partnership, you’re the one with a future.....”
“But my please and advice will no doubt fall on deaf ears due to your loyalty to him. I’m not saying loyalty is a bad thing Ander...but you need to be loyal to you first and him second..and right now he’s leading you into a situation where you’ll have to face two of NCW’s best alone....and try to survive...would a real friend do that?, WOULD A REAL PARTNER DO THAT?....I think you know the answer....you see when I look behind me...I see Angel...and I know he has my back......”
“Through thick and thin.....I have his back and he has mine..that’s why we are a team and you’re just a talented but naive chump being led around by a walking mouth with a missing backbone.....that’s why Angel and I will remain tag team champions, and that’s why after this you can go back to boring everyone with thirty minute speeches that have about five minutes of actual point......Be happy Ander...Angel and I are about to make you famous.....”
It may be a tagline, it may even be a cop out on the current situations the human race finds itself in. But it’s true. The methods of war change, the tactics, the weapons. But in the end the goal is the same. To destroy your opposition and beat them down until they quit. But once in a while a war comes alone where both sides refuse to quit no matter what happens.

Unaired collision interview 21st of November 2010
