Like a bird I’ll spread my wings.
Like a bird I’ll soar through the sky.
Like a bird, I’ll walk on the clouds.
Like a bird, I’ll look down at all the ants.
Like a bird, I’ll fly away.
Like a bird, I’ll be free.
It’s time, time for the biggest match of your life, time to see if all this “hype” around the bird boy is true. Will you sink or swim, will you fly or will you fall? It’s your time to see if you can shine in the through the darkness, we shall see if you have what it takes. What it takes to do what nobody has been able to, what nobody could come close to doing. I’ll be there, all you have to do is win, all you have to do is taken this title from my hands and you’ll be among the legends, your name will forever be engraved along with some of the greatest wrestlers ever, are you ready?
You seem to be too concerned with my lecturing and not enough on the match, does it get to you? Maybe because everything I say is inevitably turned out to be true, maybe because everything I’ve done has been proven to be right. You wonder why I lecture? You shouldn’t have to wonder. How many months were we in the Revolution together? How many months did we travel these streets and have each other’s backs. Remember, it was me, you, and Gib left standing as the last Revolution members. I wasn’t Angel and Burns… I didn’t stab you in the back. You wanna know why I lecture, it’s because I know what you can do, I know what you have inside of you. I’ve seen it, first hand. You were the successor, you always were, but can you handle everything that is going to come after you take the thrown? That’s why I lecture, because I want you to soar.
I can’t back down, it’s not like I can go into that ring and just lay down very every schmoe who wants this belt, that’s not what I preached, that’s not what brought me here, I have to give it everything I have or I’ll be nothing more than a common hypocrite like that “God of Xtreme” you carry around with you. I stood up and I screamed out that I stood for something greater, that I was about the purity of this sport, and now I’m supposed to just hand over the biggest prize in the sport just because It’s become a burden on my back. If somebody was worthy of holding this, they’d have taken it from me… simple as that. The question now is… are you worthy? Can you stop me? You couldn’t when we squared off on the anniversary show, what’s changed since then? The championship being on the line? Is that what it takes for you to step up your game? A golden trinket? If that’s the case, then you don’t deserve to wear this crown.
If that’s the case, then you never belonged as my ally, you should of never been allowed in the Revolution, because we were not about stepping up our game when it mattered the most… no we were about giving our best.. no matter what the circumstances surrounding the match were. If we were taking on Hexx, we would treat that match with the same quality we would a world championship match. That’s the message we preached, that’s the ideals we held, and now you’re standing there wondering why I’m lecturing you. You know why, don’t act like a fool.
Will this be your Night to Remember? Will this be your crowning moment, or will you fade into the pages of obscurity like all the rest? It all depends on you. Look at us, do you have what it takes to tear me down? I’m looking back and I’m seeing a big fat no, I’m seeing somebody who thinks they have what it takes but is so blinded by their desires that they can’t read the writing on the wall. You’ve seen what I’ve done to all the others, you’ve seen what I’m capable of, and you know to the extent I’ll go to just hold onto this belt. You’ll have to be willing to go to those lengths and more if you want to top me, you’ll have to be able to do whatever it takes, and I don’t see that in you. You are ruthless, you aren’t conniving, you’re just Falcon, you care too much to do what it takes.
My wings have been clipped Falcon, I’m stuck here in this prison I’ve made for myself, unable to fly. Are you willing to do the same? Are you ready to be a proverbial lightning rod of hate from every single person on the roster, even the people who follow you will look at you with disdain, wishing for that belt around you. You think for a damn second Spike Kane isn’t going to want that belt back? You honestly believe you could trust him if you were champion? Nobody’s ever been able to trust Spike… look what he did to his own twin brother! That’s you Falcon… laying there in a pool of your own blood. The second you become champion, the mutiny will begin.
You think Corvis is going to have your back once Spike puts a knife in it? The kid has the balls to stand toe to toe with Steve Awesome for the National title… why not the world title after that? He’s young, he’s brash, and he’s foolish enough to set his sights straight for you if you take this belt. Are you ready for that? To see the people you once led, the people who once followed you, now aiming their desires solely on beating you? This is what you’ll have to deal with once you take this throne, are you ready?
So yes, I do lecture, I lecture quite a lot actually and I don’t need some beaked face geek to tell me that. I’m lecturing because I’m trying to prevent what I’ve become from being what somebody else becomes. I’ve not kept it secret that I wish for nothing more than to marry Kelly and run away from all of this. It’s been a long road, it’s been a hard fight and here I am, like I was destined to be, at the top of the mountain, and all I can do is look down and see Kelly waiting for me at the bottom. I’ve been here too long, I’ve stood in this spot long enough, can you see me spreading my wings? So Falcon…. Take aim, fire your shot straight into my chest, because you’ll be doing me a favor. You’ll be giving me exactly what I’ve wanted for too long…. It’s what I want… but…
I know you don’t have what it takes, I know you can’t bring yourself to ripping me off this mountain top. You’re not me. You can run around here acting like some tough mean bad guy, but we all know that’s not you. You have too much pride too much passion to put a blemish on shiny career. You have to much heart to soak your hands in blood, anybody with half a brain can see that. You talk a good talk, you put on a nice charade, but you’re not fooling me, I can see straight through your camouflage. Don’t take me for some ignoramus, because getting to this point, accomplishing what I’ve accomplished… wasn’t an act of luck.
After Sunday, once Battle Grounds is over, nothing will have changed. I’ll still be standing here with this crown snugly around my head. I’ll still be looking down at all the scurrying peons desperately trying to find a way to overthrow me, and I’ll still be bound in these shackles…. Because you won’t be able to set me free.
Like a bird
In a cage
Is where I’ll stay
My own prison
It's the bed I've made.
Like a bird I’ll soar through the sky.
Like a bird, I’ll walk on the clouds.
Like a bird, I’ll look down at all the ants.
Like a bird, I’ll fly away.
Like a bird, I’ll be free.
