“Belief...”
“The word itself evokes a type of emotion that cannot be matched....”
“Men will go to great lengths to defend their beliefs....”
“Others....”
“Well others will inflict pain to force their beliefs on others....”
“As the time draws close....”
“As the moment come near...”
“As your judgement day reveals itself...”
“I find myself asking one simple question....”
“but not to you....”
“to myself....”
“What do I believe in?...”
“Are you done?...”
The question isn’t really a serious one, Spike can’t answer me, he isn’t even here, it was done in a condescending way.
“The rant, the random conversations with your sister and the father in your head?. Is it all over?. Can I go back to living my life now without the sad Mikey story?. Here you are trying to puff your chest out and be the big evil Spike Kane while still being the sad little emo kid in the corner reading Edger Allen Poe?. You sat there and talked about me and insinuated that everything I’m doing is about greed. Greed Mike?. What have I got to gain in this?. If I beat you I beat a guy on his way out of the company who is obviously mentally unstable, if you beat me you get to go out a conquering hero winning his last match. If I wanted to be greedy I wouldn’t have wanted this match I would have focused on the riot match and a shot at Xander......”
“And if you had true conviction Spike, you would have done something to try and keep your career from ending, you would have hired lawyers, you would have made threats with legal action for breach of contract, you would have done SOMETHING. But instead you’ve accepted this is the end, to me it seems like you’re ready to end it all, ready for the legacy of Spike Kane to drift into the past and go from current news to legendary memory.”
“And speaking of memories, I’ve made it a point in my career never to mention XHF by name. See NCW is my home now. I work here, I have friends here, I have been a champion here. But with that being said XHF will always hold a special place in my heart. The things I did there, the people I met, the men I faced. It was special. We both realised dreams and had moments in our careers that nothing will match. You talk about the rumble, the XHF equivalent to the riot match. I have memories of that match five years ago, I remember getting in the ring, I remember eliminating friends, enemies and coming so close to winning it and realising my dream. Then, then you ended it all....”
I smile and laugh to myself.
“You thought I was actually angry at you. You thought it was jealousy. Truth is Spike the only guy in that match who I could live with eliminating me, was you. MGK, well if he’d done it I probably would have snapped but you, I knew how much you deserved it and wanted it. But as I’ve said before and I’ll say it again XHF brought out the absolute worst in people. The person I was in XHF is not who I am now, the person I was in XHF was shallow, a shell of a man who would sell his own grandmother for a shot at a title....”
“I was a horrible person and I had no honor and respected no one. But with that being said the fact you still consider men like Doc and K-Hard your friends and I’m not?. Well Mike that right there speaks a hell of alot about your mental state. But five years ago when you went to night of champions and became champion, you believe I hated that, you believe that I wanted to be where you were. Spike I don’t know if you remember this, in fact you probably don’t because in your mind you were the be all end all of XHF just like in NCW, but while you were winning a world title that due to the men who held it made it redundant I was winning the X*Crown a belt that had become the real world title, a belt that the best in XHF held......”
“Hell you said it yourself, you were a transitional world champion, and it wasn’t because you got screwed it was because you lost to Curtis’ brother. You lost a match, you were a failure as a world champion and then the next year when you won it again I wanted a shot. Not because I wanted to end your reign, not because I hated you or hated the fact you were world champion, but because I DESERVED IT. The world champions in XHF ran from challenges and ducked me time and time again.....”
I smirk and nod
“With you I thought maybe I could get a fair shot. Two friends facing one another for the biggest prize in the game but you couldn’t handle it. You threw a tantrum, you walked out and disrespected XHF just like you have done to NCW in the past. You spit on your own legacy and the legacy of others and it was all because you didn’t want to give me a title shot, one I’d earned by winning every other title in that damn company....”
“I was one of the best and I never got any recognition. I got told I had a huge ego that I shouldn’t mention my wins and titles, really?. I shouldn’t take what I’ve earned and ram it down the throats of all my naysayers?. You weren’t the only one who had people telling him he wasn’t good enough. And when you threw your little hissy fit, one that it seems alright for you to throw but you chastise Trent Helms for, it proved to me you were one of those naysayers, because you would rather stomp your feet like a child and throw a belt in the trash rather than face me....”
“But did I complain?. No, did I follow you to destroy you, no. I just let it roll off my back. I didn’t talk to you because I was disappointed but I never hated you. And in the end I became XHF world champion and your little buddy Doc then threw a tantrum and quit, so I’ve been dealing with people telling me I wasn’t good enough and spitting on me my entire career yet here you are bitching and moaning and having a big old cry when you’ve had everything handed to you on a ****ing silver platter.....”
“And how do you think Brad felt Spike?. He had to come up in your shadow, he had to be “Spike Kane’s brother”. But between you and me, while you talk about how Brad was **** on, I always thought Brad was better than you.....”
I nod and shrug.
“But then, I came to NCW. I walked in the doors and signed a contract expecting to see smiling faces of friends and fans but instead, I saw Steve Awesome bad mouthing me to management telling them how bad of a person I was telling them that I would kill NCW and XHF’s death was my fault, I walked past Joe Everyman who looked down on me, yes Joe Everyman looking down on me, that’s like Carson Palmer looking down on ****ing Aaron Rodgers....”
“And then when I saw two old friends Spike Kane and JFK I was amazed when JFK laughed and you Spike. Well you my old friend payed me the ultimate disrespect...you ignored me.....”
“And you call me the fake, you call me the fraud......he right Spike, you denied me a title shot, you made me feel like **** and you ignored me yet I’m the fake......well Spike this Sunday you’re going to find out when it feels like when a fake kicks your teeth down your throat and stands over you taking the last part of your career and your soul away from you.....”
“I’m going to leave no question who the better man is and has always been. Just like I’ve done with Venom and Doc two other men who were apparently better than me in XHF. They came to NCW away from the politics of XHF, they came to a company and I’d improved and bettered myself and they hadn’t. But you Spike you’re a world champion, a hall of famer, a legend. And you said I was the one underestimating you, it seems to me that you’re the one who is underestimating me.......”
I smile and stand up folding my arms.
“And you better believe I’ll make you pay for it. See Spike I’m going into this with the mentality that this is my last match, not just yours. I will do anything and everything to beat you and when all is said and done the better man will be left standing...”
“The word itself evokes a type of emotion that cannot be matched....”
