“An Upset.....”
“Is that what you all think?...”
“For me to realise my destiny it will be an upset?...”
“How unfortunate that you all have such little faith....”
“Faith”
“Such a pretty word”
“With even more beautiful ideals”
“But then again what is Faith?”
“Is it just another word for Belief?”
Or is it something bigger?”
“Deeper?”
“More meaningful?”
“Who knows.....”
“I remember once I lost my faith...I had it stolen....”
“I watched my world crumble...”
“And my dreams fade”

January 20th 2010
The door opens. My heart sinks. I know what’s happening but my mind still asks the obvious question....
“What are you doing?”
I feel stupid for asking. I’m smarter than that.
“I’m sorry Alex, but my job is done...Angel wanted you distracted...out of the picture...done...”
My heart sinks...it was all for nothing...she tore my heart out.....
“So...it was all an act?...the crying in my arms?..holding me close?...those nights where we made love under the stars?.....”
She looks away, it seems she’s collection her thoughts....I see a glimmer of doubt...a glimmer of regret....
“Yes....it was an act...Angel is the love of my life....you....you were just a plaything.....Angel wanted you out of the picture and that’s what I did.....”
My fist clenches...I turn away leaving her to pack her life and leave......In my heart I know that my whole life...my whole future.....my fighting spirit and soul is now gone...dead and buried.......my passion has burnt out and now....
Now I am nothing......
“A world crumbled....”
“My destiny taken”
“My love lost”
“My future destroyed....”
“It was all taken away...or so I thought.....”
“Or so I felt...”
“But a funny thing happens when a man losses it all....”
“He has it all to gain....”
“I gave up”
“I walked away”
“I QUIT”
“But now.....now I’ve almost lost it all again......”
“But this time.....”
“...this time my soul is made of steel....”
“I am indestructible.....”
“My destiny taken”
“My love lost”
“My future destroyed....”
“It was all taken away...or so I thought.....”
“Or so I felt...”
“But a funny thing happens when a man losses it all....”
“He has it all to gain....”
“I gave up”
“I walked away”
“I QUIT”
“But now.....now I’ve almost lost it all again......”
“But this time.....”
“...this time my soul is made of steel....”
“I am indestructible.....”
“Here it is. My last chance. The last opportunity to prove my worth. To prove everything I have ever said about myself is true. I stand alone in this fight, I stand ready to put it all on the line. But then again that is what we all go through in this situation. An entire life laid down in wait for what we all truly believe is ours. The right to become Champion. To transcend all others and become the one. To rise up and have the proof that at that moment you are the best of the best. That one shining moment where it’s no longer speculation, it’s fact.”
“It’s a dream I’ve had, it’s a destiny I have yet to realise. Every single man in this match will put his mind body and soul on the line for a shot at becoming champion. And as we all should. But there are some times when people open their mouths when they honestly shouldn’t...one such man is....Xander Fumularo.....”
“Now aside from having one of the most exotic name’s in NCW and being the “new” homeless Harold what has this man done?. I watched him enter NCW and while he is one of the more impressive newcomers I have to ask what makes him special?. Is it that he can say the exact same things about me that Rob Diamond, Falcon, Charlie Velez and Venom have said about me time and time again?. Is that supposed to impress me?. That you’re some kind of parrot?. Kid I’ve been to the mountaintop, I’ve seen my reflection in that belt, I’ve been a champion before, and now I stand here a stronger man. But just to drive a point home. I faced your dad when he wore that ridiculous mask, he was Adam Knite’s whipping boy and Adam decided to sign what many saw was my death warrant and send your dear ol daddy after me.”
“Adam saw me as such a huge threat to his title and his plans he sent the man who was at the time the biggest baddest monster in NCW. To get my shot I had to go through the immovable object. And in the end not even your dad could stop me Xander. Adam screwed me out of the title just like your half sister did. And I’ll be damned if I’m going to sit back and watch as someone else takes my shot......”
“Especially not someone who sits there and says I simply don’t get “the job” done. I’ve had two shots at the world title....two shots in three years. Both times I got screwed out of the belt because my opponents knew that I was the better man. You look through my past in NCW and the two men who have bested me, the two men who I can say are BETTER than me are Angel and Rob Diamond. See in the end I still beat Angel and the true character of a man is measured by his heart. If one doesn’t fall he won’t stand up and that’s what I do time and time again, I fall and now I’m still standing. If Rob Diamond wins this week and so do I, well lets just say I’d love to face him, I take pleasure in the challenge and to me that cocky son of a bitch is the biggest challenge in my way aside from facing you five men in this match....”
“A strange admission....”
“A showing of humility....”
“But an inner strength revealed.....”
“A challenge awaits.....”
“A test...”
“A test of skill”
“A test of heart”
“A test of love”
“A test of devotion....”
“A showing of humility....”
“But an inner strength revealed.....”
“A challenge awaits.....”
“A test...”
“A test of skill”
“A test of heart”
“A test of love”
“A test of devotion....”
“Five men enter. Only one of us will leave as the gladiator. The number pone contender. So many people believe this is just a formality, that Steve Awesome will reign supreme and get his shot. Well, as much as I hate to admit it Steve should be the favourite in this match. He’s a former champion and an amazing athlete. One on one he is a chance against anyone at anytime. And honestly as much as he and I have our differences I respect this man. And Steve it will be an honor to once again face you in a match. Especially since I know we’ll both be at our best with such high stakes.......”
“The others in this match, Paul Star, Ander Carvetti, Mark Evil, you are looked upon as underdogs much like myself. Steve and Xander seem to be the top picks. But the best part of this match is that a man with real heart with real purpose can shock the world. I stand here a man who has everyone against him. People say I get handed shots, people say I can’t take losing and that I’ll walk away, people talk, people rep[eat the same tired crap over and over again to try and make themselves believe I’m simply not that good....”
“But maybe those same people should ask men like Angel, Velez, Adam Knite, Venom, Jack Hammond, Xavier Williams...ask the top guys in NCW and honestly...they’ll all say I’m arrogant, cocky and I believe NCW owes me something, but they’ll also tell you I’ve deserved everything I’ve ever been given. I’ve earned my place in NCW. And now, now it’s time for me to take my rightful place as a champion....and to do that I have to beat five other men who deserve a shot at glory.......but not this time....not now......not while I stand here....”
