Alex Kane: I’ll Dust Shayne Hawke In Five Minutes, But The Money Has To Be Right

Alex Kane responds to Shayne Hawke. 

Shayne Hawke made some headlines on the June 19 episode of In The Weeds when he called American indies, “The indies on easy mode.” Hawke said, “You put the Canadian talent, the top Canadians against the top Americans, any day of the week, we’re going to expose them and make them look like goofs. American Indies right now are the Indies on easy mode. Very easy to get attention.”

Alex Kane, an American independent wrestler best known for his time in MLW, joined Pluggo and JPJ of Between Two Beards on Love Wrestling to respond to Hawke’s comments. 

“Look everybody is always talking about who got the best professional wrestlers. We got the best this, that and that- but who’s talking about money? Are you talking about money? Or, no you’re just you just flapping your gums. You just use you holding up egos? Like okay, you gotta you got your little AEW background picture, and you you think you’re a superstar? But I’ve never heard of you. You heard of me, I know you have and if you haven’t heard of me, you aren’t paying attention. If you want to get in the ring and get to get to business we can do that, but the money gotta be right. I ain’t coming in for no $50. I ain’t coming in for no $100. None of that. Money gotta be right! If he ain’t talking money I want to hear nothing out his mouth ever again. All right,” he said. 

Kane continued, “Why did [FIGHTFUL] interview him? Who is he? He is not him? Who is he? If he runs IWS than he needs to open up that damn pocket book or whatever, and either get into signing checks or putting the money together for Alex Kane to come in! I will gladly dust your ass in Canada. A lot of other places are mad because  America has so much opportunity as far as wrestling goes. And that ain’t our fault! That ain’t our fault! Y’all need to get a billionaire up in Canada, or someone that loves wrestling and put some shit together. Y’all need to make that happen. Or whatever. But if you think because y’all popping right now, it’s your time in the sun. That’s y’all would dog walk us? That’s wild behavior. The American indie scene will be on your asses like that pockets. Okay? Like back pockets. You can’t escape us. Mr. Superstar, it ain’t gonna be no damn contest. I’ll dust him in five minutes! Everybody else that wasn’t talking wasn’t talking about rah rah bullshit or whatever, Yeah, they definitely stand a chance. Canada’s got some talent. But you ain’t dog walking us, what the fuck?”

Kane is set to challenge Alex Hammerstone for the MLW World Heavyweight Championship at MLW Never Say Never on July 8. Fans can check out the current lineup for the show by clicking here.
