People say this is a “what have you done for me lately” society, and for the most part I agree. Our human nature tends to focus on what is most recent in our minds good or bad. Forget what great things one can accomplish, if you screw up suddenly you’re public enemy number one. Just look how people suddenly forget all the Revolution members have done for this company, because one group of self righteous glory seekers paint us as the villains. They forget what Angel and Falcon did as the leaders of the Social Enemies fighting off the evil influences of Spike’s Social Distortion and Kaos’s Corporate Empire. They are still the same people, they have the same goals, they simply rededicated themselves and thusly have been branded as the “bad guys” along with me. Simply because Spike, Trent, and now AJ and his overdrive cronies go on their propaganda campaigns to run our names through the dirt. Do we use some underhanded tactics? Of course, it’s the only way to get ahead, we started out as a small group facing off against an entire company, you have to do something to gain an upper hand against those odds. That’s what we did. Turns out in doing so, we gave up our dignity. We cared about the future of nCw so much we were willing to throw our bodies on the line… to have our reputations ruined, but nobody would stand up and fight. It turned out that we not only cared about nCw.. but we were the only ones.The Age of the Revolution was supposed to be the ultimate martyrs, instead we have become the rulers instead of the sacrifice.
How about for a moment we talk about what it means to fight for our cause? Do you want to talk about what it takes to go through with a Revolution like this? Don’t insult me with your petty ideals ore your one sided views. I love nCw, I’ve always loved nCw, and I’ll never stop loving this place. nCw is my home, it’s where I got my big break so long ago, sure this is a different time and a different place but this is still nCw to me. Can you even comprehend what it took for me to rise up against the very thing I loved, against the very thing I helped build so long ago? I’ve given my heart, I’ve given my blood, I’ve given my tears and my sweat, and now… I’ve give my self respect, I’ve given my legacy, everything I have just for this company. It wasn’t easy standing up in defiance, watching the fans who once adored me, spitting on me as I walk into an arena. It wasn’t easy seeing the place I loved calling me a cancer….. saying I was wrong. That didn’t stop me…. I knew what had to be done and I stayed the course. I’ve seen it through to the very end, when we finally took over, ushering in the new dawn of nCw.
You want to talk about selling your soul? Look at what I had to do to bring nCw back from the depths of the hell! Look at what I gave up! I had to stab my best friend in this entire universe in the back. Trent had worked his tail off to get that World title, for months all he did was eat, sleep, and think about that belt, he wanted it more than anything, more than life. What did I do? I did what was best for nCw, what needed to be done… I took that belt off of him, something no one other than myself had the balls to do. So you want to talk about selling your soul? What about standing up and leading a revolt against the person you love. Kelly wasn’t always a member of the Revolution, Kelly hadn’t always seen the good we could accomplish. It took time, and until then I had to openly stand up in defiance of her. I had to try and bring down the walls of nCw around her, the person who will always be the love of my life watched me as I tore through her company…. All because I knew what had to be done. That’s sacrifice, that’s giving up everything you have for your ideals. So I don’t want to see people talking about their sacrifices, or what they gave up, because nothing can come close to the pain I had to endure for the past months. Nobody has come close to giving up, what I gave up.
Now is the time I should be reaping the rewards for my actions, but because of these morons in the Resistance I have to defend everything we worked for. I have to reinforce the walls instead of leading the nCw fans to the light. After everything I’ve done, I deserve this shot, I deserve that World title, and I will not let anybody stand in my way. Overdrive and their Resistance…. Ha, they need to finally lay down the arms and just accept their fate, the Revolution has already won. We’ve won the war, we’re in complete control and we…. I will win the Coliseum match…. They just don’t know it yet, because they refuse to open their eyes.
Kelly: Adam are you ok?
{Kelly’s voice breaks through the darkness that has overcome screen, as the picture slowly starts to fade back in, we see Adam Knite standing on the balcony of his hotel room looking down at the street below. Adam has his back turned to our view as Kelly walks onto screen and puts her around his lower back and waist.}
Adam: I’m fine Kel.
Kelly: Don’t feed me that bull, I know you better than that. What’s bothering you?
Adam: Drop it.
Kelly: Fine.. I’ve got some news that will cheer you up anyway.
Adam: Ok.
Kelly: I’ve been talking to Angel, I’m telling him to throw the match.
Adam: Do what?!
{Adam’s head quickly jolts around as he looks down at Kelly standing side by side with him.}
Kelly: The Revolution needs somebody to take the World championship. As long as that belt is around the waist of somebody who is firmly in trenched with my father’s side, nobody will believe what we’re doing was worth it. We accomplished the original goal, we brought down the old regime and now we have to bring in the new one, but we can’t do that as long as people see the top prize on a member of the Resistance.
Adam: Then why are you telling Angel to do everything he can to make sure I win? Wouldn’t any of us winning accomplish this or at least give us the shot we need to?
Kelly: Don’t you see? It’s because you’re the strongest one, you’re the best bet. Angel has had his shot… and he failed to bring Awesome down. Burns… he’s had two chances to win the Road to the Gold tournament and failed twice. Don’t you see this is your Revolution.
Adam: No, the Revolution isn’t about leaders and it’s about….
Kelly: Don’t kid yourself Adam. You’re the leader of this Revolution, these members they look up to you, they follow your lead, hang on your every word. They need you to step up, because you’re the only one who can stand up man to man with anybody the Resistance can send at you. You’re the best bet, it has to be you who wins the Coliseum match. The Revolution needs Adam Knite as the nCw champion! Angel can’t lead this movement, neither can Burns, and Harold lives in a cardboard box… what kind of champion would that make? And Nelly…. The guy who complains about the belt he does have? He couldn’t handle the pressures of being the top man in this company.
Adam: ….
Kelly: Adam… the fate of nCw, rests solely on your shoulders. You were the first member of this Age of the Revolution. You were the first person to follow Lance’s ideas of a better nCw. Don’t let the new comers, take what you’re owed away from you. You toiled longer than anybody, you fought harder than they could ever imagine, you’re the one who needs to usher nCw into the new era. That title shot, that main event at A “Knite” to Remember, it’s all yours Adam. Nobody else has any claim to it, we have to make sure you get what’s yours, that you get what you rightfully deserve.
Adam: You’re right…. Who stood up and took the brunt force of Spike’s initial uprising… I did. Who ended Trent Helm’s career and saved nCw from his idiotic claims of galactic imperialism.
Kelly: That’s right, Angel and Burns, they only came down the road you already paved. They piggybacked off your success and are riding it for as long as they possibly can. They are great team mates, but they haven’t earned this shot yet, not like you.
Adam: Yeah. I’m the one with the most credibility, I was part of the Lance’s original three man crusade. I deserve that title shot. I should be the one leading the Revolution! What makes them equals to me? I’m the leader of this Revolution, I’m the one who needs to be representing us at A Knite to Remember!
Kelly: EXACTLY! Now….
{Kelly reaches up and rubs Adam’s shoulders with her hands.}
Kelly: You go to bed and get some rest. I rely the message to Burns and talk to Angel some more and get this match’s outcome right. Don’t worry about a thing.
{Adam nods his head as Kelly turns and walks away. As she leaves through the front door Adam’s head lowers as he stares at the ground below. The camera zooms up closer and gets right beside Adam to view the scenery from his perspective. Adam puts his elbows on the railing and places his chin in his hands taking a deep breath.}
Adam: What have I done?
