..::Differences, the things that seperate all men from each other, our very essences that make us unique and well... different. Everything is different, every species, every living thing on this planet, every little unliving thing, they're all different in some way. Where would we be without differences, a boring society that's for sure. Then again, there is always the bad differences, the things that stand out because they are so wrong or just not appropriate. One person can be different in the fact he has a perveted fetish... that's not a good difference, a man could enjoy murder... not a good difference. Even though there are many differences there has also got to be a string of common traits that a being shares so they can fit in with a normal functioning society.... whatever that may be for their race.
Me and Ace, we belong to the race of pro wrestlers. People who put their body on the line week in and week out for glory, fame, and admiration. Wrestlers take more punishment in a match than most other sports stars will take in a whole season... maybe even a whole career. We go through tables, we fall on thumb tacks and we even put a fellow human being through hell, just to get our goals. When we're across the ring from an opponent seldom do we stop and think about the other man's goal or what he wants, we don't think how this win could affect them, we just go out there and try to win. A common trait that binds us all together. Sadly it is that common trait that we all share that ends up making us all different.
Some people's desire to be on the top is so powerful it controls them, it takes their mind and twists it, corrupting it from seeing anything else in front of them. They see a victory, they see gold and it's all they want, it's all or nothing for them. Some just work their hardest, train long hours and study tape looking for weaknesses in their opponents, while some train long hours, study tape and look for ways to exploit a match, by cheating or using underhanded tactics. Others... we love to win.. but we love to win because we love this sport, we love what we do and that's what the Revolution has been about from day one, we want to wrestle for the love of competition and we demand that type of love from the people across the ring from us.
The wrestlers like Ace... don't don't care about the sport, they don't care about wrestling, all they can see is the gold and a fame. All they can see are titles and title shots. Which is fine, until they let this greed, let this idea that titles are that matter control them, that's when they lose all sense of what wrestling is about... it's about the love of the ring, the thrill of the match, and Ace, he doesn't see that anymore. All he sees is his name in gold, all he cares about is the glory of winning and not about the sport, or his family... only himself::..
People always have their differences, it's the inevitable way of life, no two people are exactly alike, and that isn't a bad thing. See if everybody or even just a large number of people were “just alike” things would be very boring, and they'd get that way fast. There needs to be some diversity among people just to break the monotony of life. However, there is a point where two people are just so different it's mind bottling. Me and Ace? We are two of those people. We are two people who see everything differently, who have different goals, and who just have different ideals.
Me and Ace? We're nothing alike, to the ring attire we wear to our social beliefs we are two people who couldn't be any more different if he was jungle sloth and I was a humpback whale. Maybe “Knite and Day” would have been a better analogy but I thought it best not to be too predictable here. Our differences go far back, way before this Revolution war started, before he decided he would try and reform his character and be a nice guy, our differences where rooted long before I was crowned nCw's Gladiator you see.
Ace, when he was “bad” or what I like to call... “real Ace” he used every dirty tactic in the book to get what he wanted. He didn't care what it took as long as he could win the match. I was in the back and watched him break Philip Burns' face with a sledgehammer putting him on the shelf for a long time only to win a meaningless match. I've seen Ace's underhanded tactics that would make Ric Flair look like a choir boy, oh I've seen some lowlife cheaters before... but non like Acey.
Why did he do it? Isn't it obvious, for his own gain. He wanted the spotlight of nCw so bad he couldn't bare it. He didn't care who he had to hurt or what tricks he had to pull out as long as he won, as long as he had his hand raised in the end. A selfish glory hungry premadonna, Ace all he cares about is winning, his one true love in life is the main event. And now.. he wants to pain me and my Revolution as scum as if we're destroying nCw? HA, don't insult me with your inane holier than thou claims. Anybody with a brain in their head has seen Ace's tactics first hand, you expect me to believe just because he supposedly “rededicated” his life that he's a changed man? People like Ace, who didn't care about the business and only cared about their status within the company, the people who didn't wrestle for the love of the game. The Revolution stood up to destroy that line of thinking, to bring back the purity of wrestling. That's why Ace joined The Resistance, that's why he has decided to stand against the Revolution because he knows if we were in control the trash like himself... would be phased out.
Ace he can't stand the truth, no matter if it's staring him in the face, he chooses to bury his head in the sand, he chooses to ignore the facts of the matter. He only wants to live in his little bubble blaming everybody else for his problems, when the simple honest truth is that Ace is the center of all his troubles. He buried himself in this go nowhere life with that psycho woman, and he's the reason he's the butt of all of nCw's jokes. While me, I go out and I take this company by the sack and force it to be what I want, I don't sit back and whine about how things are unfair or how things didn't go my way.
Poor Ace likes to dwell in the past, where I'm always looking to the future, where I'm always trying to see how I can make things better now, instead of how bad things went before. Ace, he's the type who likes to pull out the old matches and dwell on them... where he “beat me” in a couple of matches before, but yet conveniently doesn't like to bring up the fact that every nCw title he's won... I've taken from him. If I was the type who dwelled in the past... that would be a nice thing to bring up. It's simply that I don't care, I've won titles from a lot of men in my wrestling career from a lot of man with a lot more talent than Ace could ever hope to have, so beating him for a couple of titles... so what? I say act like you've been there before, conduct yourself like a professional and not like a child who wants to scream “foul” every damn second despite the fact that he's a blatant cheater who uses his wife to win matches.
The differences are piling up now, how about how much I care about Kelly, and how I would do anything for the love of my life while he carries Kathy around simply because he has nobody else, because when it comes to women he's awkward and absent minded. I care about nCw, I care about the company and every wrestler that walks the halls, so much so I had to bring myself up as a sacrifice just to get the integrity of this company back. Ace would sell his wife and daughter if it meant he could be World Champion forever.. that's the person Ace is, that's the person he was before he started to fight the Revolution and that's the person he is now. That's why I had my name engraved on his belt, you have to attack somebody where it hurts the most. I could have done something to Kathy, I could have actually done something to his daughter to make him feel pain... but what would that have gotten me? Nowhere. I took a shot and hit him where he felt it the most, his glory.
He doesn't want to admit that's what he's all about, he would rather talk about how much of a family man he is, of how much of a caring father he is while he and mommy are popping people in the head with a roulette rake... yeah way to be a shinning example for your daughter there.. if you want something.. cheat. Nice parenting. You don't care Ace, not about Kathy, not about Soli, not about anything but the main event and that gold belt, that's why you have to be taken down by my Revolution. The cancer that infests nCw such as yourself, has to be cut away, the people who corrupt this proud company and pervert it into a sham, they have to be removed. The Revolution has cut away most of the disease and cleansed the federation that we love, and now you're the next in line, why did we wait until now to cut you out? Well simply put... you didn't matter as much as anybody else. Spike Kane.. Trent Helms... they were, and always will be more relevant than you. You were an afterthought in our initial plans, we glossed you over and focused on the more important cancers, now that they're gone, you became the focus simply by default.... nobody else was left.
You can't compare what the Revolution has tried to accomplish to Ace. Yet, he wants to group me along with him... make it seem that the Revolution's goals were for our own gain? What we did, everything we tried to accomplish was for the love of nCw, not for anything else. We begged nCw to defeat us, we pleaded with every member of the roster to come out and destroy us and nobody could... does that sound like a group who is out for their own gain? I can easily pull an Ace and make this promo three times as long by showing old Revolution footage where we all tried to convince nCw to stand against us.... but I'm the bigger man and I believe anybody who has been paying half attention over the past few months knows already what the Revolution is about. Which just further shows Ace is only standing against us because he thought it would propel his career, because he wanted to cash in on the biggest fad and finally be out of Steve's shadow. He doesn't care enough about the Revolution versus nCw war to even find out what we're about, he doesn't have enough common sense in his head to understand his opponents tactics before waging war on them. What about that makes you think this man gives a damn about nCw, what makes you think that this man cares about anything but himself? He doesn't... all he wants is the glory and honor.. he doesn't want to work for anything, he doesn't want to wrestle for the love of the sport, he just wants people to say his name.
So come at me Ace... bring everything you've got, bring Kathy and your rake, hell you can bring Kathy's sister, anything you want, whatever you think will help you win, it matters not. You're fighting this fight, for all the wrong reasons. Just like Spike and Trent before you, you only care about yourself and your status. Everybody has failed who has taken that approach against the Revolution... do you think you'll be any different? There's a saying, those who don't learn from the past are doomed to repeat it. This is where you've already failed to win. You won't beat me, you won't beat the Revolution with that attitude, it's been well documented it doesn't work, it's been made painfully obvious that, that doesn't work and this Sunday at A KNITE to Remember it will crash and burn again.
You Ace.. have nothing for me, you never had and you never will. I've brought you down every single time there was gold on the line, I've brought you down every single time that match mattered. You did everything you could to take me out of the picture, you tried to ruin my life by having me suspended and I came back and took the most precious thing in your life, and we know it's the most precious thing because yourself and gold is all you care about. When you dream at night, all you can see is that gold belt, all you can see is the light shinning on you as you stand in the middle of ring, it's all you want Ace, it's everything you need and it drives you crazy knowing that I don't care, that I simply enjoy my job because I love the game, you know I could care less about your belt and you in general, you want me to care, you want me to think you're important part of my life, but the facts are I don't. I've never gave a damn about you, the only reason I took your tag team titles from is because Trent asked me for help. The only reason I took your Xtreme title is because you got me suspended... before you attacked Ortega and had me taken out... I didn't even remember who you were.
You're nothing to me, you're just another face across the ring, another victim lining up for the Revolution to take down. You're generic and meaningless.
Ace's inevitable response: No Adam, you're meaningless.
Me meaningless? Would you have tried to get me suspended from nCw if you thought I didn't pose a threat to you? If you thought for a second that I was meaningless? Your hate is blinding you from the truth, you only see the lies you've put into your own head, you hate me with all your heart, you want me dead, you just want me to go away. Is it burning inside of you right now Ace? The hate you feel for me, the torture on your soul that is my life, that is me. It burns you, it is almost unbearable too much to even think about isn't it? You despise me, let your hate flow out Ace and let everybody know how I haunt you. I took away the thing you cared most about in life twice already and you know I stand in a spot to do it again. What will you do Ace if for the third time I strip your life away, for the third time I take the dearest thing in your life and hold it in my hands while you lay in the ring... unable to do a damn thing about it? Will you cry? Will you cruse my name? Will you look up into the sky and blame God for your misfortune? What? Is it too simple to just realize that I'm better than you in every way?
Ace's inevitable response: No Adam, I'm better than you.
You're nothing... you'll always be nothing, me... I'm your Knitemare, the grim reaper of all your dreams and desires. Just think about it, you finally realized one of your biggest dreams, you held the world title over your head in victory and for that moment you were finally happy... then half an hour later you watched me win the Coliseum match.... **Laughing** isn't that just the biggest bit of irony you've ever seen? The one man who has crushed every title reign you've had in nCw became the number one contender to your new title... not even an hour later? I bet Kathy had a fun time doing your soiled laundry that night. Did you toss and turn, did you get any sleep after you saw my hand go up in victory?
This match Ace, will be your third chance to take me down, it will be your opportunity to finally prove that you are man enough to stand with me when all the chips are on the table. Sunday, you're getting your chance to go all in against me, to finally have that big match win against me. Everybody will then see what you're really made of, they'll see the Ace who showed himself against Sexy Jason, the cheater and the man who would do anything to just win a match. If you think Sexy Jason made enough of a threat to your title that you would have to resort to using the rake... just think what I will do, just remember what I've done, just remember that I've beaten you, and I've won gold from you more than once and that stings your heart, knowing that I've always bested you when it matters.
This Sunday... it will be A Knite to Remember, it will be the biggest show of nCw's history. That's what the pay per view is going to be, but what it won't be.. is a stepping stone for your super stardom, you're a one and done champion Ace. You're a paper champion only keeping the title warm for the real champion. This is my night, this is my turn, this is my destiny and you will not stand in my way, you never have. You will go back to being an afterthought while I have my hand raised, you will go back to being nothing while I'm standing on top of mountain and you will continue to hate me, continue to curse me and despise my entire life. Keep your hate... because I don't care about you or your feelings, all I care about is this company and finally getting rid of a cancer that has been allowed to run the halls for too long.
Fear the Knite, Ace.. the night when for the third time... I take your life away from you. Fear the Knite, when everything you care about, will be mine. And Ace.. there won't be anything you can do to stop me, to slow me down or even get in my way, because I'm not you... I'm better.
