So the train just keeps on rolling, riding straight towards A Night to Remember at full tilt, taking on any and all challengers along the way and coming out on top. Let’s stop for a second though, and realise that Spike Kane told Cyrus Daniels exactly what would happen, and then delivered on that promise just like he always does. You see, I’m not really one to lie, why bother? Why make something up, when the truth is so much more painful?
I’m totally grinning right now by the way, because that was probably the most fun I’ve had in a ring in quite some time. I got to team up with one of my best friends, yes I’m aware that the vast majority of you don’t like him, much like you don’t like me.....but Rob is good at what he does, and getting under peoples skin is what he does....me? I like to **** with peoples minds....and then smash their faces in, it’s pretty much my favourite thing to do. I’m a violent person.
Deal with it.
I’m the best there is at what I do, and what I do ain’t nice.
Suck it Wolverine.

We open up on the Boston home of The God of Xtreme, it’s a surprisingly sunny day today and we do our usual pan from high up in the sky down to the street and through the window into Spike Kane’s home. We come across our hero walking through the building holding his son in his arms as they walk around.
Spike: So which of daddies championships do you like the most?
Spike walks towards his large trophy cabinet which takes up the vast majority of the hallway. It contains replicas of every championship he was won from 1996 all the way up to 2012, plus awards such as promo of the month, wrestler of the year, hall of fame plaques etc.
Xander: That one!
Xander points in the general direction of the nCw section of Spike’s trophy cabinet. Spike moves towards them and places Xander down on the floor.
Spike: Which one, this one?
Spike points to the tag team championship, the one he held when he was with Trent Helms, but Xander shakes his head furiously, Spike repeats the process a few times, deliberately avoiding the one that he knew Xander was pointing at, forcing the three year old to laugh loudly.
Spike: Oh, you mean THIS one?
Spike points to the nCw World Heavyweight Champions and Xander laughs loudly cheering and throwing both arms into the air.
Xander: Yeah! Daddy win!
Spike laughs loudly as he grabs his son and buries his face in his stomach making a rasberry, which in turn makes Xander laugh loudly. The ruckuss seems to have caught the attention of Spike’s wife too, the wonderful and highly dangerous Alysson Gardner.
Alysson: What are you two up to?
Spike: Oh nothing, Xander was just picking which championship he wanted to fight Daddy for.
The two of them smile at each other as Xander opens the cabinet and tries to reach for the nCw World Title replica, but Spike catches him doing it in the corner of his eyes and grabs the title and holds Xander with one arm.
Spike: Cheeky bugger!
Xander giggles almost insanely after being caught doing something wrong, but Spike makes a big deal out of pretending Xander is struggling with him and slowly starts to fall backwards.
Alysson: Oh no! You’ve got him Xander! Quick, finish him!
Spike drops on his back letting go of the belt and Xander. Xander then makes an attempt at a standing frog splash, in other words he just jumps ontop of Spike, who pretends to be knocked out cold. Alysson kneels down and counts the pin fall.
Alysson: One.....Two......three!!!
Spike makes an overdramatic kick out attempt after the three which makes Xander laugh more, but Alysson takes Xander by the hand and holds it in the air.
Alysson: Your winner, and new world champion.....XANDER KANE!
Both Alysson and Spike cheer loudly as Spike grabs Xander around the waist and gives him a big hug, before placing the World Heavyweight Title around his waist. Xander looks shocked and amazed as his father gives him the title.
Xander: Wow! It’s cool. I won!
Spike: That you did son, you’re the best in the world!
Spike scoops him up into a huge hug, and Alysson comes in for one too, the happy family spending time together before the weekend.
Spike: I love you both.
Alysson: We love you to Mikey.
Xander: Lub you daddy. and mommy.
Xanders words bring a smile to Spike’s face, and a look of happy tears about to fall to Alyssons as we fade away on the random family moment.

I stand here and I applaud you Bertie, but you already knew that. I’ve been a big fan of yours since way before you hit the big time. I’ve always been a supporter of yours, I’ve always been a follower. Thing is, I’m pretty damn good at recognising talent especially at an early stage. All you need to do is look at the people who I brought here, regardless of your opinions of them as people, they are all talented.....Joe Everyman.....Steve Awesome......The Ace.......Angel...
I’m good at spotting talent, and I’m even better at creating it, pushing them to the next level. Let’s be honest now Bertie, that is one of the main reasons why we will be locking horns on Sunday Night, because you want to be at the top of your game. You want to continue going out there week after week and dominating this company, it’s why you have this “legend challenge” on the go. You want to make sure that when you lock up with Alex Jones at A Night to Remember that you are fighting at the peak of your ability, that you are performing at the complete and utter best that you can be.
And I want you to be at that level too.
Why you may ask? Because I hate Alex Jones, and him being the final world champion of this glorious company is the biggest insult this side of Todd Williams’ career. I don’t like Alex Jones, I haven’t liked him for years, he is a cunning, devious, little prick.....and I wish I’d have snuffed his career out after that Dragon’s Den match....but no, Alex doesn’t give up, it’s his redeeming quality, but it’s also what makes him so *** damn annoying. So who better to put you against to build you towards that, than the biggest pain in the ass that nCw has ever known? The God of Xtreme....that nagging pain that just won’t go away, just when you think it’s gone...it comes back again, stronger and more prominant than before.
In my absence you have done nothing but excel, from strength to strength. Now, don’t take this the wrong way, I’m not saying that you only did this because I wasn’t here. No not at all, you were well on your way before I left, before I decided that I wasn’t hungry enough to do this anymore.....but it was a lie Bertie. I was hungry, I was starving....I wanted that World Title just as much as you did.....I just knew I was never going to get it. It’s something I came to terms with, I’d had my chance in the spotlight at nCw, I’d been to the mountain top....and I’d treated this company like **** in return. I’m well aware of my faults, I’m aware that my ego got the better of me at times and I stormed out like a more talented version of Todd Williams......but I always came back, I always gave back to this company.....hell....
I carried this company on my back.
I think I’m owed a little thank you once in a while for everything I’ve done. I’ve put this company before friendships, before employment oppourtunities, before relationships......but all I get back are jokes about me leaving, little bitch fits that I took my ball and left when I was being treated like crap. That was something that you stood against, the way some of us were treated, the way some of us were looked down upon for our past mistakes whilst others were ignored, rewarded for causing a scene, for being brown nosing pieces of crap.......but not anymore.
I understand why,
I’m not going to question you Verona, I’m not going to ask what happened and what changed, because I already know. You, just liked every blue chipper that comes through this company thinks that they can change everything for the better. Get a better deal for the guys out the back, try to shake things up and shatter the status quo.....but you realised that it wouldn’t happen. You couldn’t get ahead if you worked that way, and you realised a very horrible fact.....besides the handful of people like myself.....nobody had your back.
It hurts doesn’t it?
I apologize though Bertie.....I should have stayed and had your back, but at the same time I’m glad that I didn’t. because that gold you’ve been holding corrupts us all. Do you honestly think I could have gone this long without wanting a shot myself? Without wanting to steal the limelight all for myself? I know I’m selfish, I know that the legend of Spike Kane means more to me than anybody else’s....the thing is, we’re all that way. I’m just honest enough to admit it. People like Adam Knite, Steve Awesome, Xander Famularo, Angel.....they all give me crap for caring about my legacy yet you know as much as I do that they fawn over their own, that they made sure they were etched into the history books before they got on their high horses and looked down on us......I am just up front about it. I want to be remembered, I want to be viewed as a true legend.
I want to be the best.
But I’m not under any disillusion Roberto. I know I’m not. I know that I am up there though, one of the best, I have to believe that otherwise why would I be here now? Why would I still be going? It would all be pointless. I know as far as nCw is concerned I will be remembered, I’ve done so much here that I am almost ingrained into the foundations of this company, and yes....I am sad that it will be closing it’s doors for good....but you know what Roberto? I am hoping beyond all hope that it closes it’s doors with you as it;’s World Heavyweight Champion, and I’m saying this with all honesty. Out of god knows how many previous Champions, you are the one who brought prestige back to that belt, the level of prestige it held back when I was champion, back when Lance Ryan was champion.
You raised it back up.
In doing so you have EARNED the respect you so desperately craved and demanded, it is given to you now, hand over foot.....and you can look back with pride and see that you carved through the competition, you took on all comers and reigned supreme. You fought corruption and you didn’t fall victim of the cliq’s and the brown nosing. You are a self made man Roberto, just like myself. You are a legend Roberto, a Hall of Famer, and I don’t think I’ve met anyone who deserves it more than you do. I count you as a friend of mine, a confidant, someone who I can trust, and someone who I am proud of. I understand your opinions of me may vary, vastly too.....in the same breath I am one of the most loyal people you will ever come across, but I am also one of the most selfish.....so I know people don’t like me, people think of me as a traitor, as a judas, as a virus.....but what I see when I look in the mirror, is the man who carried nCw when nobody else could, let alone would. I see the man who took pride in holding any championship he did in this company, and a man who went out of his way to give back whether it be as a General Manager, or a TV Show host. I’ve bled for nCw, and I’ll continue to do so until those doors are slammed shut in my face.
Don’t mistake me though Roberto. I see you, and I see the immense challenge that you present. I’ve defeated you in the past, albeit never one on one, so when we stand across the ring from each other on Sunday, you may see someone who will help keep you sharp, I’ll see one of my final challenges before nCw closes. Can I topple the longest reigning world champion? Can I prove that it should be me fighting for that championship? Can I defeat the man who is going to leave nCw the only undefeated World Champion in the history of this company? Only time will tell, but I promise you this Roberto I’ll be coming at you as hard as you could ever expect. I’ll be bringing my A game and win or lose, I will push you further than you have ever been in the past.
I will make you the superstar that you need to be.
I offer my best wishes Bertie, win or lose this Sunday I’ll be in your corner at A Night to Remember.
