As we fade in, we are treated to the backstage area where Havok took place on December 13^th… below in white letters are the words:

 

Previously Recorded.

 

In frame comes Chamelion, followed closely behind by Wacko Marko… As they turn a corner, they nearly bump into McMichael, with mic in hand. 

 

“Hey!  I was just coming to see you, Mark!  I wanted to get your thoughts on the huge win you just had against Wicked Clown!”

 

Chamelion’s demeanor suggests he’s not exactly in a mood to talk, and he tries to brush past McMichael.

 

“Whoah, wait!  Don’t you have ANYTHING To say??”

 

Chamelion stops dead.  His shoulders are tense and he turns around slowly, glaring at McMichael.  However, he motions the man closer and McMichael takes a tentative step closer, raising the mic.  Breathing heavily, Chamelion growls into the mic.

 

“Anyone ELSE want to make it personal???”

 

With that, Chamelion spins on his heels and stalks off, with Wacko giving McMichael an apologetic look and chasing Chamelion down the hall, albeit at a safe distance.

 

A slow fade out allows the scenery to shift and as light returns, we find Chamelion standing in his gym, facing the wall as he reads a bulletin that Gareth has conveniently posted for him.  On the bulletin we notice next weeks card… and Chamelion stares at the final match of the night… the ten person tag-team match.  He nods, squaring his shoulders, and Chamelion turns and greets us with a his usual Cheshire grin.

 

“And with just a little patience and hard work, Chamelion is finally where he is destined to be…”

 

Tapping the bulletin, Chamelion licks his lips.

 

“The main event… a place all too familiar for me.  And in this match, teamed with three of the greatest BWF stars today… evident by the fact they are all champions as well.  Blazenwing as pieced together a hell of a match… by combining three of the upcoming PPV matches… he’s going to give the fans a spectacular show… well, no.. he’s not.”

 

A pause.

 

“I am.  Me, our world and international champions combined… and I’m not forgetting my partner Wacko… never.  This kind of talent should be unbeatable… at least, on paper.  But when you move from paper to a three-dimensional world… things get cloudy.  For one… The sides are not exactly good vs evil… each side has a taste of the dark and the light.. and a sprinkle of self involvement… egos are going to clash… and the sails of our ship will be fraught with hurricane force gales!”

 

He stops, tilts his head to the side and smirks.

 

“Okay, what the heck was THAT?”

 

He laughs, and refocuses.

 

“What I mean is… while Wacko and I will surely work together to best our opponents in battle, I can not say the same for the rest of the team… Adrian may be our BWF Champion, but she’s not exactly a flower in the garden of Eden… and her victory does leave a few questions for her to iron out… and that question has yet to be answered at Wrestlefest!”

 

He scans the bulletin.

 

“As for the other ‘World Champion”, Toco… now here is a man who has worked his ass off to achieve his dream… and with a period of self doubt  behind him.. headlined Gauntlet Run and became king of the hill.  Gotta respect someone like that… and I do.  It should be a good time working aside this man.”

 

Another pause as Chamelion reads.

 

“Bam, eh?  BAM BAM!  Wonder where Pebbles is (Heh)!  Big man, tough attitude… a multiple world title holder… I like that part… here’s someone who knows what he wants and takes it for his own… but is he trustworthy… the fact sheet says no… and how will that affect our match, when his opponent is non other then a man I really dislike myself.. Brimstone!”

 

“Just think, Kiddo… after all these weeks, you and I will be on opposite sides of the ring once again… and when you look across and see me, just remember.. you are no longer hardcore champion thanks to lil ol me!  But while you may want to try to extract revenge… I suggest you keep your focus on Bam… or he may put you on the sidelines before you’re chance at International stardom at the PPV.  You’re a tough fellow, Brimstone… but if Bam doesn’t finish you off… there’s a damned good chance, that I will!”

 

Cracking his neck, Chamelion reaches up and pulls the bulletin down, and he begins to walk towards the ring as he checks the rest of it.

 

“Hmm, the Big O… four months off, returns at the Gauntlet Run and walks away the winner.. earning his chance to face Toco at Wrestlfest.. and perhaps become the first Undisputed Champion in BWF History.  Well, that’s cool and all… but Big O, while you’re a swell kid and all… I’m no stranger to being an Undisputed Champion… you only have to best two in one night… I had to survive 31 others… and three on the same night to win mine.  Am I gloating, sure… when you win these things, you have a pedestal to stand on!”

 

He laughs.

 

“But don’t get me wrong, what you have a chance at in wonderful.  I offer you a nod of respect for what you’re going to have to go through, but on Monday… that’s all aside.  You’re on the opposing team… and if we clash, the Chamelion is going to give you a taste of true undisputed power.  You keep it clean, so will I… we have aligned issues when it comes to our beliefs, I think… and in a straight wrestling match, we’ll see who has the talent… I know your up for it, there’s no need to goad ya!”

 

Reaching the ring, Chamelion slides into it.  He lays there on his stomach and taps the paper on the name of “Ice” Hensley!

 

“I saved this one for now, because it’s going to lead into the most important part of this promo… ‘Ice’ Hensley… still relatively young in the BWF… lost to my partner, Wacko Marko… that’s gotta sting!  However, in rebound he is a former BWF Champion, and his loss… wasn’t even a pin.. so, with that regard, Ice will get a chance to really answer the question of who is better when he faces Adrian Garcia at Wrestlfest.  Well, kiddo… when you lose without losing, it can be like a splinter just out of reach, so very painful.  I feel for ya.. but ya see, you’re against me Monday… and if you don’t watch your step, I’ll find your weaknesses and you can be sure Adrian will be paying attention when I do… and if that’s not bad enough… Wacko’s with me.. and he knows you pretty well, don’t he?!”

 

Smirking, Chamelion continues.

 

“However, you showed true domination in your match with The Canadian Hero.. at least until you got your bells jingled… heh, yup, that time of year folks… by non other then Kirlia Gardevoir…and aside from the obvious “That had to hurt” comment.. it kept you from an all important victory going into Wrestlefest.   So, I have to offer my apologies that it’s gonna be two weeks in a row for a loss to your record… because even if you can control your hostilities against the two… well, you got five on the other side who want to put you down, just as bad.  I don’t envy your position, kiddo… but really, doesn’t it sound like FUN?”

 

A soft sigh.

 

“And finally, the two members of the opposite team I really care about.. no, not like that!  These two ambushed the two potential teams that Wacko and I might have faced at the PPV, and then blackmailed themselves into a title shot.  Now that, is mean, unsportsmanlike, and very very devious!!....”

 

A beat.

 

“I like it!”

 

A beat.

 

“However, it kind of goes against the expected nature of THC and Kirlia.. for they are supposed to be fan favorites.. but the crowd did eat up their antics.. even against Ice Hensley… (under his breath) Guess no accounting for taste here, eh?  (louder)  So, with subterfuge, the two will get their shot against Wacko and I for the Tag Team Championships at Wrestlefest…  Congrats… but before you two wet your panties over this excitement… you’re going to get a taste of the champions come Monday!”

 

He stands then, letting the paper lay upon the canvas.

 

“Aside from the fact that Ice may want retribution, and that Brimstone may come a calling on my ass…THC, you and I could come face to face in the center of that ring Monday… and while some may get confused about who is who.. *wink*… the fact is that old school is going to fair better then the new class… and if you don’t understand the reference, trust me kiddo.. on Monday I will drive it home.. and although I’m not a fan of fighting females… I have no qualms taking Kirlia down a notch or two, if she so chooses to get in my face…”

 

Pause.

 

“Wacko and I are going to prove, beyond a shadow of a doubt that we are worthy World Tag-Team Champions… it starts Monday… and it culminates at Wrestlfest!  Hats off to all in our match, and their intentions to prove themselves… but when the final bell rings… it will be the might of the most devious SOB in the business today, that score the victory… and solidifies himself in the eyes of the BWF… as the next best thing this place has ever seen!  GOT IT!”

 

And with that, we fade away to Chamelion’s devious Chesire grin.
