Through my career I've made some bad choices, I've made some selfish decision, but I've always had a reason, always had a justification. People always fall back to the same thing whenever they face me...
“You left”
I got old, and it got old very quickly, but clearly the higher ups in this company think that it's still relevant and think that it's still worthy of being mentioned. Yet the reasons never are, nobody ever asks “Why did you leave?” all they say is “You left, wah f*cking wah”
Maybe because I got tired of being treated like crap?
Maybe because I got fed up of being fed line of bullsh*t after line of bullsh*t. I know, I know, nCw has given a lot to me, Kelly and Leonard have supported me through some tough times, most notably when I went through heart surgery. But the thing is, it wasn't earned. It's not like I came in here licked some ass, and got pushed through the f*cking rafters. I fought battles, took down No Warning Shot, defeated Lance Ryan when nobody else could...I rose to the top of this federation on my own merits. Not a single person out the back wanted me there, not a single pencil pusher running this company helped me get there, I did it on my own.
So when I get told that it will never happen again?
Of course I'm going to leave. You want to hold me down? Well f*ck you because I won't stand for it. I am one of the BEST to ever step foot in this company, and deep down inside every f*cking one of you knows it, and you know what? I think it makes you scared. I think you want to knock Spike off of his game, because if he comes at you all guns blazin' you just won't stand a chance and you know it.
Kelly bragged about Trent's past year, and expected me to accept it. No...f*ck that.
I defeated Lex Sense.
I defeated Alex Jones.
I defeated Angel.
I defeated Steve Awesome.
I defeated Adam Knite AND Kelly Knite.
I defeated Xander Famularo AND Roberto Verona.
So please. PLEASE, explain to me how that pales in comparison to the f*cking suck ups that flood through this company. Huh? Please explain to me how Trent Helms year of b*tch fits tops that. You brought up old memories to justify your actions, and it made me upset at the time, because it was wounds that were supposed to be healed.
But I guess being vindictive means they never will be, huh?
I haven't left ANYWHERE to join Boone ANYWHERE in years. So maybe you should take your incorrect facts, take your biased and f*cked up opinions, and shove them where the sun doesn't shine. I retired at the end of 2011 because of mental and personal reasons, but you know as well as I do, every single one of you out there knows....the itch always gets you. You always want to come back.
This is what I do best. This is what I do better than the vast majority of you out there, and I've been doing it longer than all of you. I've been doing it long enough to validate the “retirement” and then changing my mind. But the thing is....no matter what I do, this place will always be full of vultures, always full of suck ups and yes men.
I've butted heads with them since I walked into this company.
So think now....when you tell me that I CAN'T do something....why would I stay here? When you tell me that I'm not good enough? Why would I accept it? When you push those whiny little pricks and the talent has to rot in the mid-card because you are all too scared to voice your opinion and stand out LIKE I DID! ….then what is the f*cking point any more?
This place is rotting from the inside, and you know what?
I don't care any more.

We open up on the now family home of Spike Kane and Alysson Gardner-Kane. It's early in the morning and we see Spike Kane sitting at the table staring blankly at a TV screen showing some kids program as Xander sits in his hight chair with his breakfast in front of him. There is a bit of the food on his big, and some on his face too, but Spike doesn't seem to notice as he seems too tired to be paying too much attention. It's just then that Alysson walks into the room wearing just a dressing gown and some slippers. She comes up behind Spike and hugs him from behind.
Alysson: Did you not sleep well hun?
Spike grunts before he realises that someone is talking to him, his fist and been almost pushing inside his cheek as he leaned on it and when he moved it a big red mark was left on his cheek. Alysson chuckled a little before leaning down and kissing the mark.
Spike: Yeah...I mean....Freya and Brad were having quite a heated argument...
Alysson: About the scene at the reception?
Spike doesn't respond he just nods his head as he turns to Xander and let's out a half sigh, half laugh before wiping his face with a tissue. Xander looks at his Dad with happy smiling eyes and laughs.
Alysson: He was just drunk.
Spike: Yeah, but....he said some things that he probably shouldn't have. Things that might have made you, and your family uncomfortable.
Alysson: Our family now...
Spike smiles as Alysson seems to be trying to ignore the incident at the reception.
Spike: That's right. Which means Brad is yours now too.....so you do have to put up with his idiocy.
Alysson: He's still hurting Mikey....I didn't take offence.
Spike: Then....I guess I can let it slip. I know it hasn't been easy for him, and christ....if he hadn't met Nina? Lord knows what he would be like now.
Alysson: That woman saved his life.
Spike: Just like you saved mine.
Alysson blushes as Spike beams at her, pulling his wife into him and onto his lap before kissing her. She leans backwards and smiles before Xander flicks some of his breakfast all over Alysson's face, causing all three of them to start laughing.

Charlie, I know you've been pretty vocal in taunting my family, my partner, and myself on twitter and the like, but you know what? It doesn't really mean anything to me right now, because I'm not looking to start a fight over something petty, over something that can just be taken as friendly taunting for the sake of competition. I'm not exactly known for pandering to people's ego's either but I have to say, after what seems like a millennium...
It's good to finally be in the ring with you.
As far as I'm aware, we've been in and out of each others professional lives since something like two thousand and five, maybe even four, but we have never....as far as I'm aware at least, had a one on one match. We've had one or two multi man tangles through the time, but never locked up just the two of us. We've never had the chance to show the world what a real wrestling match can look like. I've fought all of the original Young Guns in singles match, bar you. I took Venom to a time limit draw at the peak of his career, and for a while it was one of my most crowning achievements....that was obviously before I became a world champion there for the first time.
I fought two of the original Young Guns to get that, and you know what? It really did push me to a different level, they forced me to pick up my game and go to that next level. It's something that, if memory serves correct, you used to be proud of. That you and your Young Guns would be the “measuring stick” that people would be placed against you to test them....much like I was here before you decided to join up. The roles were reversed here, I was the legend who had conquered all and would avoid you through downtime. It's a small world isn't it Charlie?
But don't take my words the wrong way, that is not how this has been intended. I hold you in the highest regard Velez, I have done ever since you and Venom kicks mine and Cosmos asses way back when. It was a wake up call that I had a lot to learn, but that was six or seven years ago, and I have come a HELL of a long way since then. I've won world titles all over the globe, and lead factions of my own to great success....even right here in nCw, saw The Empire dominate both Trauma and Collision, hell even Suspense when it was around. I've been where you have been Charlie, and I see why you hold yourself the way you do, I see why you demand a certain level of respect, and for those who know this business, for those who respect this business and what we do.....you get it.
So do I.
So I'm looking forward to nCw's big birthday bash, because instead of facing a waste of time like Joe Everyman AGAIN, I get to fight easily one of the toughest guys to beat here, easily one of the most talented people to walk into this company, and I'm proud. I'm proud that for this spectacle the idea of Charlie Velez versus Spike Kane seemed like a money maker, and to be honest, I think nCw are undoing themselves by putting this match up on free TV. We could easily main event a pay per view....but you know what? It doesn't matter.
I get to tie it up with someone who taught me harsh lessons way back when. I get to show you everything I've learned, to show you how far I've come, and what the future holds for us both.
I look forward to it Charlie, I just hope you can pay the same respect to me
