The way of a true warrior
Some people believe me to be a villain in a guise of a hero. Some people believe me to be some kind of dishonourable human being with a hidden agenda to just advance myself. It seems as if no one really knows me. It seems as if people will believe anything these days. But as I reflect back on my career and I realise that I’m not perfect, I also see that others have been much more questionable than I in their actions and their pasts. But it seems like wherever I go, whoever I face instantly calls into question my character and my honor.
I would laugh but, it seems to bring a certain sadness....
I sit back and go over my career, and I can’t help but realise that, I have lived with honor and respect through most of my life. Tell me, how many matches have I won through means that were not my own?. How many low blows, foreign objects and rope grabs have I used to secure a win?. How many times have others used those tactics against me?. Here’s the thing, if I go into a match or a fight and the other man beats me, fair, one on one, I have no problem with it, it means that the other guy, at that time..was better....”
It happens....
But when those same people come into a match and cheat me out of a win that I would have earned, that’s when I take issue. That is when I have a problem. I’m not perfect, and in the heat of the moment I’ve made stupid decisions that have effected my career and reputation. But everything I have ever gotten in my career I have earned. I have earned by being one of the best. My first title here, the X-Division title, I won it by earning a shot in the elite eight tornament. Davey Ortega, Chris Mercury and Xavier Cross all fell to me, I then beat Xavier Williams a man who would go on to be a world champion, I earned that shot and that title, when I returned to NCW I saw what the X-Division had become under Andrew Jacobsen and I earned a shot at him and again became the champion......
Seems to be a running theme here....
I did the same with the tag team titles and I defended them proudly. Then I became national champion earning my shot and earning my title by beating Venom and the current world champion Ricky Johnson. And then the two world title shots I had, I beat Homeless Harold a man later revealed to be Gib to get a shot at Adam, and by the way I know it has been under some contention when thinking about my win over Gib, that man beat the white off of my ass and put me through some of the worst pain I have ever felt.....
And that includes my matches against Angel.....
I respect Gib and I respect the match I had against him. But then, then there was my downfall, my match against Adam Knite for the NCW World title. I let the match get to me, I left the emotions involved impair my realisation of the situation and I failed to see what was about to transpire. The 31st of may 2009, I beat Adam Knite. I beat the world champion and ended his takeover. The final Nail in the coffin. Earlier that year we’d had a texas bullrope match that I lost when Angel had interfered,......
Story of my life.....
But this stung more, this win hurt more than the loss because while I had won the battle, Adam won the war by keeping the world title, he got disqualified because he knew, KNEW that I was going to beat him. I had him on his knee’s. A mighty, self appointed and worshipped king, on his knees in front of a common man, a man who was just one of the legions who dreamt of glory. But it was to go down as a failure, I got screwed, I won the match, Adam kept the belt and the next month I left NCW because my bodies injuries were to great to stand to Adam Knite again and mount any type of real danger to his title reign, so instead NCW fed him Davey Ortega, a man who has the distinction of being the biggest waste of potential talent since Marcus Reeves decided to lace up his boots and ignore the fact he has a special kind of ADD that destroys his chances of being the true monster and world champion he deserves to be....
Social commentary and truth at it’s best.
Adam won, I came back and never got my rematch. But then I fought back and earned a world title shot against Charlie Velez and Falcon. And in that match I touched the gold and once again my dream was crushed by a member of the Knite family.....
Running theme much?
But that match was one that was designed to go against me. Falcon was always meant to win that so Rob Diamond could get his revenge. Because apparently Rob getting revenge for Falcon bitch slapping his bitch was more important than someone deserving being world champion. But regardless I earned that shot. And now, I’ve earned this one.....and now three years after our world title match I get a shot at more gold.....and I will collect....
“Three years Adam....”
I sit back and sigh, my hands come together and clasp.
“Three long years since we had our title match. And I’ve tried Adam, I’ve tried so hard to let it go, to just forget about it. After all in the grand scheme of things, what does it matter?. Two world title shot, two losses that were out of my power. But now it has come full circle and you won the National title from Trent and I beat Joe Everyman to earn a title shot earlier that night. It seems the fates have transpired against us Adam because three years after a title was last on the line between us, it’s happening again....”
“Isn’t history fun?....”
“This time Adam, this time I’m hoping it will be different. This time I’m hoping that you will be a man and face me in a fair match where one of your lackeys doesn’t come down and screw me over. For a while it was billed as if you were always the better man over me. But if you look at it closer, I can’t help but notice your win over me in that bullrope match, was Angel screwing me over. But then what about the world title match where you hit me in the balls?. An then there’s the tag match last month where you basically gave up due to who your partner was and pretty much decided then and there before the match that it was “not gonna happen”.
I scoff and shake my head
“But it did happen Adam, and not only did it happen I pinned you. You didn’t have anyone watching your back did you?. You didn’t have Angel and you couldn’t kick me in the nuts. And I pinned you. But hey that’s fine isn’t it Adam?. It’s fine that you can put up a promo like the ones you did against Trent where you brought up outside times and people that had NO BARING on NCW what so freakin-ever. But here;s the thing, that worked on Trent because like you he focused on the past, and you verbally and emotionally beat Trent down to the point where the match was just a formality. The Trent Helms that you verbally and emotionally beat down was not the same Trent that had waged war on NCW. But Adam, I’m not Trent. I’m not a guy who considers you a friend who will walk around celebrating your career to your face but plot your downfall behind you....”
“I’ll talk my **** to your face.....”
“And Adam, I am saying it now. You could beat me, because you ARE that good. But you haven’t proved ****. Your big wins against me are nothing. You look in the record books at the little asterisk next to both your big wins and there is outstanding circumstances. But hey, what do I know Adam?. Because according to you and you have said this, I’m just a footnote in your career. NCW is a large part of that career but there will always be bigger rivals, there will alwaus be Gib, there will always be Trent, there will always be some random name from the original NCW or from some other company you competed in ten years ago that held a show in bum**** Iowa that was apparently “better” than me who was more of a “rival” to you....”
I scoff and shake my head.
“But the past is the past. I’ve just spent a good ten minutes talking about our past Adam and while it is important to understand where we came from it is more important to understand where we are going. I’ve seen the men who stand here and drone on about past glories and try and live off a former reputation. I see men I once feared. Men who were once “better” than me. I see Charlie Velez a man who has just returned who was a world champion here but when push came to shove and it was time for him to stand be counted, tucked tail and ran like a hooker who propositioned an undercover cop....”
“We had Venom who was a beast, an amazing technical wrestler, who had moderate success here who was not able to beat me. They are ghosts of my past but for the last few months I have beaten every single guy in NCW who I’ve been put against. Last week I beat your former tag team partner, the week before I had to suffer through facing Clint Renner. I’ve been active facing NCW rostered performers and you Adam, you’ve barley been seen or heard since you decided to put me through a table, I’ve been active, I’ve been dominating. But you Adam, you haven’t been a true champion, and maybe the National title doesn’t mean that much to you but that belt has meant alot to people over the years.....”
“And I would be honoured to hold that belt again. But what I’m fighting for Adam, what I’m fighting for is my lost honor and my respect and I want to be that National champion again to feel a gold belt around my waist to validate my existence and reassure me that I am just as good as I have always said. I am a future hall of famer, I am a future champion and while you sit on your kings throne built on questionable morals and a fake aura of invincibility that you somehow brainwashed 80 percent of the world into believing including Trent Helms, but I don’t believe you. I don’t care about your past, I don’t care about who you think you are, I don’t care about Gib, Xander, Zelda and the rest of this days of our lives bull**** we’ve put up with over the last three months......”
I roll my eyes and sigh.
“And at Reborn Adam, at Reborn I will be coming at you with everything and if you want to bring Kelly, Zelda, Xander and the rest of your ****up kiss ass power hungry family to watch your back then you bring them. I’ll send the Famularo family to hell, I’ll show Kelly what it’s like to be with a real man and after I finish slapping your ridiculous goatee off your face I will raise my hands up and be counted as the NCW National champion......”
