OOC: In reply to Cosmo.
*A short while later the scene changes to a bar. Spike is sitting there, a half full pint glass in his hand and staring off into space*
Spike: Cosmo thinks I don't repsect him. He thinks I look down on him. He thinks that I think he's a weak link. Jesus Christ the kid has more talent and skill than 80% of the wrestlers I've come across in my time....
*Cosmo walks into the bar, his shoulders slumped. He spots Spike and goes to head to the bar but Spike calls him*
Spike: Hey! We need to talk. Sit down!
*Cosmo looks like he is going to argue with Spike but decides to go along with it. He sits oppossite Spike, and Spike calls over for two beers.*
Spike: Cosmo. The way you acted at the gym....it..it was unpredictable. Indeed it was. But there's some things I need to tell you before you start spouting off about taking me on. Cosmo, I don't want to fight you. The reasons? Simply I don't want to hurt you, and I don't want you to push yourself so far that you'll end up like me
*Cosmo looks offended at first then confused*
Spike: Cosmo. I've pout myself through so much. I know that one day, you will be just like me. Why do I know this? Because I started out just like you!
*Cosmo looks slightly shocked*
Cosmo: Bullsh-
*Spike raises his hand*
Spike: Listen to me Cosmo. I started out as your basic Hardcore wrestler. I got put down so much by my own friends that I was close to quitting several times. They would put down the hardcore division. Saying it was lower than the Womens division. But think about it, how hard is it to keep a title where pretty much anybody can go for it? It's not easy. But when I won a few hardcore titles and made it into main events here and there. I began to set my sights higher, around the I.C./U.S. area. But people just didn't want me there. They would say stuff like "your just a hardcore wrestler, you don't belong there, you'll never win a title like that"
*Spike seems angry as he recalls those moments*
Spike: But you know what I did? I went an won my first World Heavyweight Title. Straight from a "hardcore wrestler" to a Heavyweight Champ. I was a shocker, a stunner, a kid with talent. Just, like, you!
*Spike looks at Cosmo, and meets his gaze*
Spike: People talked about me behind my back all the time. Behind the scenes conspiracies just to keep me out of the limelight. UWA proved it best. I became the Xtreme Champion almost instantly. I lost it eventually due to a screwjob. Within a couple of weeks, I was the World Champion. People didn't like it Cosmo. You saw what they did to me in UBAWF. Those bastards tried to ruin my career! They cannot take it that The Spiked One, a lowly "hardcore wrestler" has risen higher than they will ever be, and is still going! six years and still going strong. I'm Spike Kane, The Spiked One. The guy who gave birth to the era of Xtreme. And why did I do it? To prove people wrong! That's exactly why I wrestle with you as a partner Cosmo. Because when I look at you, and I hear the things people say behind your back, because they're to scared to say it to you face.....
*Spike smiles*
Spike: ...I see a wonder kid, a kid people are scared of, worried will be better than them, will rise higher, faster and further than them. Jealousy makes people do things Cosmo. But you.....when I look at you, how you wrestle, stand up for yourself, use your rage against your enemies, destroy your opponents with words. When I look at you Cosmo. I see a wrestling legend in the making. It reminds me of myself. So don't fall for there trap Cosmo. Your better than that, your better than them, your better than half the people I've met, and soon enough......you'll be better than me.....
*Spike looks to Cosmo, what looks like a hint of sadness in his eyes*
