Battle not with monsters, lest ye become a monster, and if you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes also into you.
Some say I've become a monster, a shell of my former self. Some even believe that I'm evil incarnate.
They have no idea how right they are.
( The shot opens and Angel is just sitting in front of black background. )
I've fought for this company.
I've bleed for this company.
I've given everything I have to give for this company.
And still people spit in my face, **** on my career, and all around disrespect me.
I like that.
It reminds me why I'm doing this, why I'm fighting for this company, because I remember.
I remember epic battles between Spike Kane and Lance Ryan, Trent Helms and Davey Ortega.
I remember no matter the hatred, the feud, the blood curdling anger, they respected each other, they truly wanted to be the best they could possibly be.
Then you have todays current pool of talent.
Each one hopping over the other trying to get to the top as quickly as possible.
They don't want to earn it, they barely wanna have to fight for it, and when challenged... They quit.
Like Brad Kane.
If it's too hard, if they don't get what they want right away, they quit.
That's why people like Frostbyte get title shots or people like Jimmy Zane.
They don't think they should have to earn it because they have fans, they sell merch, they show up to the arena.
Isn't that enough?
No.
People like me, like Falcon, like Sexy Jason and Steve Awesome... We're shunned, ridiculed, called filthy names.
Why?
Because we earned our spot? Because we don't wanna just step aside and let Jimmy Zane strut to the top of the company?
Or is it because we're just so damn good no one can remove us from our spot.
I'm sorry, guess this means war right...
Well you know what they say about war?
It is the oldest ironies that are still the most satisfying: man, when preparing for bloody war, will orate loudly and most eloquently in the name of peace.
( Angel looks at the X-Division title, proudly sitting on his shoulder. )
I warned you Jimmy. I told you what was gonna happen and you chose not to listen to me.
Well you know whats gonna happen now, right? Exactly what I told you was going to happen. We get in the ring, the bell rings and your career as you know it stops dead in it's tracks.
Look at me Jimmy, three time X-Division Champion, Arch Angel of the Revolution, the Patron Saint of Bad Ass. There's a reason people fear me Jimmy, there's a reason people shut their mouths when I walk by, there's a reason everyone wants to kick my ass.
Do you know what it is Jimmy? Could you possibly understand?
I've transcended the old stereotype of "Heel" and "Face." I've gone above and beyond what is expected of your average wrestler.
I've taken the bar and I've set it at an all new height and this roster, nCw can't stand it.
But the bar bones reason they hate me, they can't stand what I've become.
The people of this roster, love or hate me, they saw me as someone who would stand up and fight for nCw, fight for what I believe in, what they don't understand is, I am.
Revolution is what I believe in.
Salvation is what i believe in.
The Revolution will save nCw and I'm going to finally tell you how.
I'm going to save nCw by becoming a symbol.
nCw runs rampant with disease, with cancer, with arrogance, lust, greed and all around disrespect.
I'm going to take all of these things into myself and I'm going to force the wrestler's of this promotion to expel their own sickness through me.
If I become all the things that I hate about this company and I use it to attack, belittle and destroy my competition it will force nCw to ban together, as they have, and save themselves.
I want nCw to untie under a banner of Respect and honor.
I want nCw to unite against us.
I want nCw to destroy me.
But if you fail, if I survive, then nCw will be destroyed and we will re-build it in our own image.
Even if I lose, I win.
So please Jimmy Zane, get mad, join the Resistance, do your very worst to me this Sunday.
Because when you step into that ring, keep in mind, your not stepping into the ring with the man AJ Phoenix respects, your not stepping into the ring with Falcon's best friend, when you step into that ring Sunday you'll be stepping into the ring with every back stabber, every cheater, every low down dirty piece of **** you have ever come across in wrestling...
And if you don't do what needs to be done...
I will.
Win or Lose Jimmy... Just like I told Spike...
I still win.
We do not do this thing because it is permitted. We do it because we have to. We do it because we are compelled.
Fade.
