In case you’ve just joined us, and I know you
have, the air is filled with tension as we focus into Chamelion and Wacko
Marko’s locker room. Shoulders tense
with agitation, Chamelion stuffs his gym bag with his wrestling gear while
Wacko Marko, holding
“Man,
why didn’t ya tag me in?”
Still stuffing clothes and other things into
his bag, Chamelion doesn’t turn as he answers.
“I had a
point to prove.. needed to shut people up.
Did it, done it… now if they have any issues, they can take it up with
me face to face!”
Wacko shakes his head.
“But…”
Chamelion interrupts Wacko as he turns
around, now with a smile on his face.
“Look! My feelings on the matter are appeased. I’m sorry you feel the way you do, but the
business is done with… we can move on.
The New School Marvels won their contendership match, and that means we
have them at Survival of the Sickest! I
promise next week, we’ll work as a team and show these new guys what they can
expect!”
Wacko doesn’t smile… but nods.
“Okay..
we can do that… uh, I’m gonna go find
Nodding, Chamelion reaches into his locker
for his coat.
“Sure
thing, kiddo! See you at the gym
tomorrow for a work out?”
Wacko shrugs and says sure as he exits the
room. Chamelion stops with one arm in
his coat and sighs.
“Sorry,
guy… I just get riled up a bit easily.”
Finishing up, Chamelion grabs his bag and
exits the locker room. He makes it about
half way to the garage when he’s stopped by Toshi Yang.
“Chamelion! Can I ask you a few questions?”
Stopping, Chamelion sizes Toshi up and down,
admiring her.
“Sure,
but um… who are you?”
“Toshi
Yang, BWF Reporter.”
Tilting his head, Chamelion asks.
“Where’s
McMichael? He’s usually in my face about these things?”
Toshi smiles.
“He’s
not the only one with that job, Chamelion.
Besides, he’s been getting all the scoops! It’s no fun for the rest of us!”
Laughing, Chamelion sets his bag down and
unzips his coat, realizing it’ll be a few before he’s out in the crisp, winter
air.
“Ok, ya
got my attention! What’s on your mind?”
“Well,
with the victory that the New School Marvels achieved here tonight, you now
know who your opponents at Survival of the Sickest are. Any thoughts on them?”
“Always. As is customary, I took the liberty of
checking up on them. But Toshi, to be
fair, I didn’t expect to have to discuss my feelings on the matter so soon. With 12 days before the PPV, I want some time
to really do research on them and be ready.
But I will say this; I am glad that for once, Wacko and I will have some
real talent to compete against. It’s no
fun being a champion if you’re victories don’t have any meat to them.”
Toshi nods.
“Well,
as we’ve seen, the New School Marvels have a strong desire to capture the Tag-Team titles.. and rumors backstage
suggest a couple of other teams could be heading into the mix soon. As you said, to date your defenses have been
rather one sided.. do you feel nervous now that the competition may be heating
up?”
Shaking his head, Chamelion heh’s.
“Nervous?
Never. But I’ll admit that now I’m
psyched! It’ll be nice to hit the
airwaves and see more activity in the BWF.. and it’s a compliment to know that
so many are itching to do battle with Wacko and I. We’ve broken some records together here in
the BWF… as of now, we’re the longest reigning BWF Tag-Team Champions.. I’m
9-0, and the tag wins certainly push Wacko’s streak up a notch. If their not careful, the Undisputed Title is
going to become second to the Tag Titles!”
“Bold
words!”
“From a
bold man! Ya see, the BWF seems to have
declined my challenge for the International Title at Survival of the Sickest… I
can only guess it’s because they see how dominate I am… and they don’t want me
carrying all the responsibilities… either that, or Bam’s just deathly afraid of
me.. I don’t know. But when the time
comes, and you can rest assured it will… the most Devious SOB in the business
today is going to capture singles gold.. and the likes of Bam, Ice Hensley and
Garcia will become nothing more then another causality on the ever growing list
of accomplishments for Chamelion!”
“But
you still have to survive the PPV.”
“True. Listen up, Cody and Chris… just because you
got contracts in the BWF and won one match, don’t think that this PPV is going
to be any kind of cake walk. When you
were at the airport, you mentioned Chamelion and Wacko as if we are just names…
a team to face for tag title gold. We’re
more then that… we ARE the champions for a reason… and in my case… I’m not one
to mess with, or take lightly…. Renting a few tapes is one thing, but to best
me… that’s quite another. Work hard,
stay focused and don’t wait till the last minute to speak your mind.. because
history shows one fact above all others… those who delay… pay! GOT IT!”
With that, Chamelion smiles to Toshi, grabs
his bag and heads out of the ARENA!
