”They say money is the root to the evilest ways
But have you ever been so hungry it keeps you awake
Mate, now my hunger would leave them amazed “
They say that money is the root of all evil right? I disagree, I don't think money causes problems, not at all. I think it's the pursuit of money and how certain people go about that pursuit that cases men to do evil things.
People like the Locke brothers.
You see, I'm a fairly wealthy man. I've paid my dues in this business and I've earned a lot of respect, and a nice pay check at the end of the day, but I got there through hard work. I crawled through the night clubs and dank bars with my band to get some recognition. I was handed, literally handed a backyard wrestling federation with a TV deal and I was forced to learn how to run a federation. I did it fairly successfully and made my way up the ladder.
You people seem to forget I was nCw's General Manager, I had that job for a reason remember?
There's a lot of that been going on recently, all this forgetting crap. Like seriously, the Lockes think that they can waltz into nCw and attack my brother and think that there won't be any repercussions? Seriously....nobody is allowed to attack my brother, except me!
But the odds are simply quite astounding. A pair of twins versus a pair of twins. I guess nCw thought they'd hit a cash cow when they saw this coming, huh? Can you imagine the kind of shenanigans that could ensue? The illegal man being pinned or gaining the pin fall and confusing the referee, all sorts of chaotic comedy moments. It'd be a riot really wouldn't it?
But no. That's not going to happen.
You see what is going to happen, is the two of you are going to get you're teeth kicked down you're throat so hard that when you're sucking off Leonard Fox, you won't need to watch the teeth because there will only be gums.
I know.
Crappy metaphor.
But what do you expect, when I have crappy opponents?

Almost.
I almost got there.
The cold burn of the ice pack on my shoulder snaps me out of it. Sitting in the trainers room after arguably one of my best matches ever in this business, let alone this company. I'm happy I had the chance to showcase and prove to the world that I'm still capable of hanging with the big dogs, but inside I feel a deep pit of despair.
I just couldn't get it done.
Failure is a hard pill to swallow, but lately I've been taking a regular dose. I failed my friends and family when I O. D’d and nearly killed my self several months ago, I failed them again when I gave into my addiction and it cost me the Honor Championship. Tonight I failed to flourish in a match that could have countless repercussions in the future.....hell, I could have been the next number one contender if I'd managed to have beaten them, without bullying, stealing, or whining my way into anything.
“You know you were pretty impressive out there?”
The voice catches me off guard, lost in my own thoughts and self pity as usual. I turn to see Brad grinning at me, looking at me in the vain of being proud and disappointed at the same time, like only a brother can. He's disappointed that I didn't win, but proud enough to know that it wasn't easy and I put my best effort in. A thought flashes through my mind that I'm too old for this, but I shake it away almost instantly. I love this too much.
Spike: Yeah, I tried man.
Brad comes into the trainers room now and throws me a bottle of water. He's staring at me now as if trying to decipher something about me, but all the time he's smiling.
“Had to prove to the world that Spike Kane has still got it, right?”
I nod in agreement as I take a sip of that refreshing cold water. He isn't done.
“I don;t know why you always feel that Mike....you have nothing to prove to anyone”
I grimace, I don't take compliments very well. Especially when at least half of nCw still hates me for walking out on them. If they knew the truth they'd be more forgiving, but instead they live in the world where they form opinions on what other people tell them rather than facts. Fine, let them. I prove every week I'm better than what they think I am.
Spike: So people keep telling me.
“Because it's true. How many times do people keep spinning this 'lesser Kane' crap when they talk about me? It's because you made such a big shadow when you came here”
Spike: You know that lesser Kane crap is wrong right?
“Hell yeah. I've proven I can take you.”
Spike: ….it's still funny though.
I actually chuckle as I climb to my feet letting the ice pack fall. The knee pads on my knees are starting to dig in so I slide them off over my boots and flop them on the table before I started to unravel the tape around my hands and wrists. Brad is still grinning.
Spike: Why are you grinning at me like an idiot?
“They've posted the card for Nothing to Lose”
Nothing really springs to mind, since I lost the Honor Championship I've just been floating, creative didn't have anything for me it seemed. So I just rolled with the punches.
Spike: And? You got some super X Division throwback of mega awesome eight way elimination of doom rematch?
He cocks an eff you look. Irony, me taking the mick considering some of the matches I've come up with in my time. The Rolling Hell....Christ that was a mistake. At least the Dragon's Den was good and has it's place in history forever.
Like me.
“Nope. Better. Us.”
I must look confused because his grin almost bursts into a full blown smirk. He nods at me, as if letting me know my train of thought is correct. My train of thought is flashing back to that brutal match we had that almost killed both of us. I point at him, then back at myself.
He nods.
I feel my gut wrench. I can't go through something like that with Brad again, it would kill me on a completely diff-
“Against the Lockes!”
Oh sweet mother, relief! My grimace of horror slightly turns into a smile of my own and I started to nod in agreement and pleasure.
Spike: All right!
“Tell me about it! They've green flagged us teaming up as a proper tag team.”
My mind which was flooded of dark and painful memories is suddenly washed clean, and thoughts of sharing glory with my brother once again, properly this time run through my mind instead. I am pleased to say the least, this means they like me. This means they think Brad and I have what it takes to entertain the crowds.
This means I've still got it.
Spike: Well then. I guess we need to start working on some moves!
I stop getting changed and instead gesture towards the gym. Brad smirks, he knows how my brain works and he knows I'll want to get down to business sooner, rather than later. The Kane's are back baby, and this time they mean business.
….nCw is f*cked!

Hambone.
Are you f*cking serious? I've heard of some retarded nicknames in my past, from the ludicrous down to the downright idiotic, but that? That has to take the cake. There's something about you Hammy. Something that doesn't quite sit well.....you see, you and me we've got an awful lot in common, and I don't like it.
You're the elder brother in a set of identical twins.
You're built like a brick sh*thouse.
You favour the Xtreme side of wrestling.
You have a refined taste for whiskey.
You're Pay Day is awfully familiar.
Damn kid, you're like Spike Kane Lite! Except for the whiskey part, I obviously don't drink any more. Not since I made my straight edge pledge to my wonderful Starlet's Champion girlfriend. Don't be upset thought Hammy, we've had quite a few Spike Kane wannabes in our time, even here in nCw. Pretenders to the throne and all sorts of crap, although to my knowledge we've never had an actual set of Kane wannabes
That just blows my mind. Kane Brothers Lite.
It's a pretty sad state of affairs isn't it? I'm sorry if this is upsetting to you Hammy, but you're not really expecting us to take you seriously, right? I mean a tag team that hires themselves out to people could be taken in all sorts of incorrect, and provocative directions......also......
Didn't Dirty Deal do that already?
So already we have two dudes who are completely unoriginal. That's pretty sad guys. I know it must hurt for you to think properly, and if past experience says anything, it definitely hurts for you two to string a damn sentence together. I mean besides Hammy here trying to give me a verbal blow job while tearing my brother down at the same time. I don't understand how you think this will work Hammy, you think you can cater to my ego and I'll stand by and watch you beat the snot out of my brother? You are an older brother yourself and you know that there is nothing in the world that could let that happen.
So I guess your just flappin' your gums for the sake of it.
It's pretty clear too Hammy that you're hiding something from little Rockie. Trust me when I say this to you Hammy....that’s a bad path to walk down, a dark path and it will ultimately lead to you two tearing each other apart. You want to be just like us? Well taking that path will make you just like us. Look at my hand Hammy.
I SAID LOOK AT MY HAND!
You think this scar doesn't remind me of what happened between me and my brother? You think it doesn't remind me of all the messed up and wrong decisions I've made in my life? I'm not angry at Brad for it, I don't think I ever was.....I think I was more angry at myself for letting it get that far. We nearly tore each other to pieces.....and we're brothers. Just like you two. Born barely minutes apart. You know there is a bond there, being a twin....it's a stronger bond than just being a brother.....and now we're on the same page.
For the first time in nCw history, Spike and Brad are truly on the same page.
Which is very, very bad news for you two.
Rockie, I'm sure you saw my extravaganza last week where I went all out against Jimmy Zane and Steve Awesome. Those were two well established superstars, those were two people who I respected, and who have a damn good work ethic. So tell me, what do you expect to come your way at Nothing to Lose? What do you expect seeing as I don't like either of you, I don't respect either of you.....and I damn well do not care for you're pathetic excuse for a work ethic.
Not to mention. I want to smash both you're faces in for having the cheek to attack my brother.
Which in itself is stupid. I hate to be the big bad brother coming to the little brothers rescue, because that puts Brad in a negative light. Let me get one thing clear, I know for a fact that Brad could take both of you in a fair fight. The only problem is, I am the big bad brother and I don't let people treat me like crap, let alone my family. You've gone and pissed off one the best wrestlers this industry has ever seen in Brad Kane (don't believe me, check out some of those match of the year compilations) and the most violent man to ever enter a wrestling ring, in myself. What chance in hell do you think you have?
You know I could probably pay you to kick the crap out of each other?
I wonder how much money that would actually cost?
I wonder how strong is you're bond to trust each other during our match, to trust that I haven't bought one of you out over the other?
Interesting turn of events that would be, wouldn't it?
But like my brother said....you've attacked him for the very same reason Leonard is going to be pissed with you after Sunday night. You see boys, you two have a specific job, you have a reputation on the line, future clients, and a hell of a lot of money. Not to mention old Foxy's eyes on you.....whereas we?
We simply have....nothing to lose.
