Somebody in IWF is a fucking comedian.
Somebody had the bright idea to team Laszlo and I up. Ha….hilarious. Fucking idiots. The thing
is, it’s that old wrestling cliché where you put two guys who don’t like each other in a match
against two other guys who don’t like each other. Oh, I’m sure hilarity will ensue….or, y’know
the other thing?
Carnage.
Don’t get me wrong, seeing who my opponents are? God damn I’d love to whoop their asses so
bad. Just seeing what those two fuckers have done to my Man of Steel championship makes
me sick, but do you actually expect me to trust Mike Laszlo? Do you actually expect me to work
with him? Come on now….last time we teamed up he stood and watched me get triple
teamed….naw….I’m not putting myself in that position again.
Thing is, I know my role.
You know what I mean?
I know what my job is, and it’s to go out there and be Spike Kane, be the God of Xtreme, and
give the people who paid to see me, exactly what they want. I don’t need Mike Laszlo to beat
Ryan Shane and Devlin Raine, christ….I can do it all by myself.
In fact, maybe I’ll do just that?
There’s nothing in the rules that says I have to tag in Laszlo, right?

Who would have thought that Ryan Shane could pull himself out of obscurity and become a two
time Man of Steel champion? I mean it’s not too much of a surprise, right? The only time Shane
has been even remotely interesting was when he he;d that belt. It’s probably why he wanted
that match with me so long ago now, to try and prove himself, earn himself a championship
shot…..
But we all know how that ended up.
So Shane decided he would bide his time, and wait for a weaker man to hold the belt, a much,
much weaker man. We went from the longest reign in the company ever, to the shortest reigning Man of Steel in the history of the company…..and that is where Ryan Shane peaked
his head in. No surprise there, Shane always takes the path of least resistance. Things get too
tough, and he bugs the hell out of there….just like he did when he lost the Man of Steel, just like
he did when I whooped his ass in the Roulette. Ryan Shane is a joke of a champion, and it
boggles my fucking mind that Laura Howlett picked him, out of the entire roster to come back
with.
The House never wins.
Trust me, I know. I was a part of the original House of Howlett, and while Laura never really had
much to do or say about how I conducted my business, she knew that having a name like Spike
Kane under her name made her legitimate, let’s not forget Rob Diamond. You’ve got InFamous
on your card? You’re doing something right.
Then she jumped to Noah Field.
Fuck me, what a shit show that was!
Laura might have once known how to pick her clients, but her record doesn’t speak very fondly
of itself does it? I know you’ll probably make some claims about how she had this many Imperial
Champions under her or whatever, but once the OG House imploded? Once I went off the
reservation? It was barely the Shed of Howlett…..and she made bad decision after bad
decision.
Which brings us to you.
The man who claims to be just as good a Man of Steel Champion as I was, yet….what have you
actually done? You beat Zasshu…..yay…..and? Nothing really, right? You claim that the Man of
Steel should be THE title in IWF, well it was when I held it, you’ve just dragged it so far down
that Jayson Matthews is considered a better champion than you - oh, I know you beat him, but
big fuckin’ whoop! Anyone can beat anyone on any given night.
How do you think Devlin Raine ended up with the title in the first place?
As you’ve found out first hand, it isn’t because he’s some unbeatable monster, nobody in this
business is unbeatable. Everyone who claims it is an idiot, Cable claimed it, Verona claimed it,
Angel claimed it….they all lost. I don’t claim it, I’m well aware of the nature of this business, hell,
I fucking should be after two decades of busting my ass…..but the difference between me and
all those people? Is I go out there and fight every single fight as if it were my last. You might
think you’re the same Ryan, but nobody is like Spike Kane, despite so many people trying…
Everybody wants to be the King.
Instead you all end up on your knees, hailing me.

I bet you’re wondering why I never came after you? Why I never tried to take back what you
stole from me, right Devlin? Or are you shrugging it all off, pretending you don’t care? Devlin
Raine had arguably the best night in the history of IWF. He won the Joker in the Pack and then
used that briefcase to dethrone the God of Steel……
Then he wilted like the previous flower he is.
Heavy weighs the crown, huh Devlin? When you had a mighty monster to slay you were all the
bells and whistles. It was everything you needed to get yourself over, the mighty god
slayer….but then you did it, and you had nowhere to go. Nobody ever thinks about the “what
next” in this business. Winning a championship is tough, but holding one? That’s the real test of
a man, the real test of a champion.
A test you failed.
It’s a shame really Devlin, because one on one? We made good television. You had that same
mindset that I used to have: “I’m going to win, or die trying” and boy, you damn well nearly did.
Thing is, as much as I wanted to beat the holy fuck out of you, as much as I wanted revenge for
you ending my legendary reign…..I knew that my time as the God of Steel was over, I knew that
it was time for me to step away, and back into the main event. I took a step back, let the new
crop have their chance, and they fucked it all up, so once again, Spike Kane has to come to save the day.
