~*~Gene Simmons, Micheal Graves. Those names have always been associated with evil and fear here in the wrestling world. All of mankind would tremble in the presence of the "Dark Warrior". Wrestlers and fans alike new that the wrong words could set the mad man off, and leave their face burnt beyond recognition. Recently though we have been seeing two sides of Gene Simmons come out during matches and sometimes interviews. One was a madman who's only goal was to hurt and burn everyone he came in contact with. And the other was what seemed like a flamboyant superstar who wanted to win with his abilities in the ring. Tonight one of those men will emerge the victor of the inner wars. And that man will be the only personality left. Yes, it seems that Micheal Graves battles with his inner demons are finally over. And if this is the case you can expect for "The Superstar" to finally get down to business and work his magic in the ring all the way too the Net World Order World Title. The only problem that lies ahead is one question. Can the fans of the NWO accept this new Micheal Graves? Not the mad "Vampire" Not the evil monster. But the Flamboyant "Superstar" who's eyes are set on only one thing... total super stardom. This is a question that will be answered in the coming week as Micheal Graves will prepare himself for one of the biggest battles in his career� as he takes on Neil Styles for the NWO Intercontinental title. We are sure to see a whole new man.~*~

~**The scene opens at a Net World Order house show. Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler are calling the play by play as two unknowns battles it out in the last second of their match before the match finally ends as Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler begin selling the Pay Per View to the fans in attendance. The Subject of Gene Simmons match with Neil Styles comes up. Jerry Lawler makes the comment about Gene Simmons struggles with his inner demons and states the fact that the problems has been hurting Genes wrestling career. Suddenly a new unknown song begins playing over the PA system as pink and purple strobe lights flash around the now dark arena. Ross and Lawler don't have a clue what is going on until they see Micheal Graves walk out. At first they do not recognize him due to the new look.**~

Good Gawd King is that Gene Simmons? What in the hell is that music he's coming out too!?

[--Jerry "The King" Lawler--]
It's Gene Simmons all right! What's that moron doing out here anyway? I thought he was checked into a mental home by now or something!?

~**The fans are not sure what to really think. There are not cheers nor are there any boos. Just total shock. Micheal Graves makes his way to the ring with a smile on his face. He is blowing kisses at most of the women he passes on his way to the ring as some (but few) of them are cheering for him. Micheal Graves slides into the ring and picks up a microphone as his music dies down.**~

[--Jim Ross--]
I'm not sure what to think of this King, what in the world could Gene Simmons be trying to pull off with the new look and act?

[--Jerry "The King" Lawler--]
I just wish somebody would come out here and kick his ass before he speaks, I never could stand this guy! ...Too late.

�[--"The Superstar" Micheal Graves--]
I come before you tonight a changed man. And I for one will be the first to admit that the change is for the better. I have wasted away the last six years of my life going on and on about pointless vampire crap trying to convince both you and myself that I was really something I was not. Those days are over and gone for good. I will not continue to act like a demon of the night when we all know that it was all some stupid angle created by my former boss GWFO CEO Edler. Tonight I come before you a changed man. I don't expect to win anyone over with words though, I have lied to you all before and if you believe I am lieing to you now then thats fine by me. I know it will take time but I plain on winning every single one of you over once again!�

[--Jim Ross--]
This has to be a trick, like when he made us all believe he had changed his ways after the UWF.

[--Jerry "The King" Lawler--]
I don't care what this is supposed to be, just get him out of the ring before my ears start bleeding!!!

[--"The Superstar" Micheal Graves--]
Now there are a few things I need to take care of tonight before I move on with both my life and career. First and foremost, I am not Gene Simmons, I would rather be referred to by my real name Micheal Graves. Gene Simmons is a character, something that a greedy old man cooked up to make some money. I am alot more than that. I am a superstar in the making, I have not ever been allowed to show my full talent due to the restrictions of my former self. But now that is about to change my friends. I mean their is so much un tapped talent in this body it's scary! Next on the agenda is the Ass Kickers Inc. I have no reason to stay with that group of misfits, I created them, but instead of leading them into a pointless battle against Shane Douglas and the Triple Threat I choose to be a man and leave them. Triple X, Arrow, Taker... I wish all of you the best of luck, I have nothing against any of you, but if our paths ever cross you won't walk away!� As for you Douglas, I'm not through with you. You think this score is settled? It's not! You are the root of all evil in the Net World Order, and although I really don't care about good and bad right now, I still can't resist handing your ass to you. So next Sunday when you take on Billy Gunn for the World Title I want you to put forth everything you've got, because after I take Neil Styles IC title I'm coming straight for you and the World Title! And unlike in the past I will win it this time because the fun and games are over!�

[--"The Superstar" Micheal Graves--]
Now about my match at the Pay Per View, Neil Styles... We have always been able to be on different sides and get along just fine. I have respect for you and can only guess that you have the same for me. But the fact of the matter is you are carrying gold, and when there's gold on the line I throw everything else out the window. The NWO wants a damn good ladder match and thats just what I'm going to give them. And after it's all said and done I will be the new NWO IC Champion!

[--Jim Ross--]
Maybe Micheal Graves has changed for the best King, I guess we will have to wait and see if any of the old tendencies of Gene Simmons return.

[--Jerry "The King" Lawler--]
Well if one thing is still there it's his ego, this man has as big an ego than Hulk Hogan! I mean he just keeps on going about how good he thinks he is... I wish somebody would PLEASE come out here and shut this moron up before I do it myself!

~**Just then Sweating Bullets by Megadeath rumbles over the PA system as Arrow makes his way out from the back. Micheal Graves just watches Arrow make his way to the ring dressed in the full "Old School Gene Simmons" wrestling gear. Micheal Graves seems upset that he is being interrupted. Arrow climbs into the ring and snatches the microphone away from Simmons.**~

[--ARROW--]
Hey Simmons, Graves... whatever the fuck your name is. What makes you think that we will allow you to leave AKI that easy? I came to this shit hole of a fed as a favor to you because you needed back up! Now just like always your willing to turn your back on everything you started just to get ahead... Well maybe I'll just stick around for the ride.

[--Jim Ross--]
Has Arrow joined with Micheal Graves!?!

[--"The Superstar" Micheal Graves--]
Well Arrow, we've been friends for a long time now. And you are one of the greatest wrestlers I have ever met in this business. If you want to stick around and be my partner then thats great. Together we will run wild over everyone in the NWO and show them what true talent and super stardom can do! Now this goes out to Neil Styles. This coming Sunday we are going to face one another one on one in a ladder match. And since your fat ass can hardly walk to the ring much less climb a ladder, I am the odds on favorite. And at Day of the Dead I will make sure that their is no odd defying by you. So Styles, you had better take a long look at that belt and shine it up real nice... because after the PPV you won't see it on your waist again for a long time!

~**Micheal Graves music begins to play again as both Graves and Arrow play to the fans and make their ways to the back. They receive a mild pop, but since the fans are not sure exactly what is going on that is all that can be expected.**~
