I guess that’s where things began for me.
As I was looking for jobs, I stumbled upon one right there in the PWA,
as the Vice President, which required knowing business, finance and a bit of
entertainment value. I wasn’t
sure on the latter, but I applied non the less, keeping my association with my
brother a secret from the PWA. Robinson
didn’t like him much, and I didn’t need the hassle.
I got the job, and the first time I appeared
on television, I reversed a decision that was faulty, allowing my brother to
win the PWA World Title from Dr. Steven Remo.
I watched him celebrate, I saw the passion in his eyes, the love for
that sport. I wanted in.
Hell, I wanted what he had. I
was jealous.
So, what to do, I asked myself.
Suddenly the burning heat of being a wrestler started to boil in my
blood, and I cut some deals, and secretly created an organization to take over
the PWA and ruin my brother all in one shot.
I arranged so Raizzor would have a loser leaves town match, and I
brought in a monster called Nightmare to destroy him.
Now I could be in the ring, and take the glory for myself.
Remo challenged me to show off how’d he defeated Raizzor, and yeah, I
wanted the match. I lost, but I didn’t care, because I knew sooner then
later, I would revenge myself against Remo.
Meanwhile, I took on Tundra, the Television
Champion and won my first title. I’d
lose it soon after, as I was so very new, but then I’d turn around and
capture the Intercontinental Championship, and that’s when things really
took off. That same night, Remo would put his title up in Remo’s Dome of
Destruction and in the end, my Nightmare eliminated him and took the title,
eliminated Robinson, and secured myself as the President of the PWA!
I had to drop the IC title to take the reigns,
but that was okay. I now had full
control, everything was mine, and no one knew I’d been the one pulling all
the strings in the first place.
That was the Chamelion of old.
That was the man who’s desire for power was so great, nothing, no one
was safe from the cruelty of his machinations.
That is why I am called the Most Devious S.O.B. in the business today.
That is why, come
Well, maybe. I mean, I have grown up a lot
since then, and I guess I can’t really say I’m exactly like I was back
then. The desire and dedication
has not gone away, in truth it’s multiplied infinitely.
Still, I wanted the world and my five opponents to understand that I am
not a man to be taken lightly, and I am not a champion who will go down
without taking a few of you with me.
Fade in to the Sommers Ranch in
Silence greets him and he cocks his head in
wonderment. Trudging tiredly into
the living room, his ears pick up the faintest sounds coming from outside the
back and he walks into the kitchen and towards the sliding glass door leading
to the porch. Once he opens it,
he’s greeted by sounds of laughter and general merriment and he smiles,
noticing his family enjoying one of the first BBQ’s of the coming spring.
Sandra sees him first and shoots into his arms.
“Hunny,
you’re home!”
He smiles, accepting her kiss and Raizzor and
Jasmine greet him from the grill.
Jasmine
puts the plate of steaks down and fishes a cold drink out of the cooler,
handing it to Chamelion.
“Yeah,
it was decent for an overnight flight. I
love
Sandra nuzzles him slightly and smirks.
“It’s
not the traveling, it’s the nervousness of your huge match at
Happenstance.”
He smiles, and kisses her forehead before
breaking away to open his soda.
“Yeah,
guess so. Not that I’ve never
been in such major matches before, but it does have the greatest prize in our
business at stake. I guess part of
me is worried, because as a champion going into this match, I’m actually one
of the two underdogs.”
Raizzor turns a couple steaks over and nods in
response.
“I
remember those days. You’ve
always been really good at taking what comes your way, and dishing even more
out. You’ll do fine. Just
remember, even should you lose, you’ve had a hell of a career so far
there.”
“Thanks,
bro, I think. I’m not even
thinking of losing, that’ll get me no where, but on my back getting pinned.
No, the only thing I’ve been thinking about is my opponents.”
“Bet
that’s been fun, how’s that going for you?”
“Well,
I debated on how to approach the situation, and I think I came up with a
unique way of taking care of things. I
decided to have a little fun and present my opponents with a ‘choose your
own adventure’ promo.”
The others all look at him, expectations of
explanations on their faces. Say that five times fast.
Chamelion smirks.
“To
get everything out I need to say, it would take forever if I went on about all
of them at once, so I set it up to send each of them a DVD of this promo, and
at a certain point, it’s going to allow each of them to select their
specific chapter, to hear what I had to say about them. Of course, they can
view all the chapters, but so they don’t have to wade through the others, I
made it easier for them.”
He shrugs.
“Cause
I’m nice. I sent a copy to the BWF
Offices for the Battle Royal competitors, since I mention that match on the
DVD too. I also have on that
DVD my first Undisputed Title win, back when four federations competed for
it… I figure they needed to understand that when it comes to this kind of
situation, I’m damned good.”
Sandra snuggles back up to Chamelion,
caressing his back.
“Indeed
you are!”
He grins, and winks.
“PG,
girl, PG, remember that. Granted, Icehouse would disagree and go verbal on us,
and Marticus wasn’t too nice with what he had to say about Eliminator.
Kirlia, of course, is a little more prevalent on her ‘escapades’,
but I think you and I could keep this out of the cameras.”
Sandra laughs and steps back just a bit. Chamelion takes a long sip of soda and then sits it down on the table.
"I have a question, Brother. How is the rest of the BWF going to see this promo, if you're sending it out as a DVD?"
Chamelion stops and looks at his brother, his eyes narrowing.
"You just have to bring things up to make it more difficult for me, don't you? I guess for the rest of them, it will be like when Clue aired on TV."
"What??"
"The movie Clue, with Tim Curry and Christopher Lloyd? In theaters, depending on what time you went, you got one of three endings. On DVD, all three play back to back, or two after the credits, I can't remember. Point is, for the TV Audience, this IS going to be a bit long winded. It's just that the only ones I wanted to do this for are my opponents. See earlier reason."
"Ohh-K. If it works, it works. Dinner will be ready in ten minutes."
Chamelion yawns once, and stretches.
“Cool. I
need to go wash up, so I won’t fall asleep in my salad.
I’ll be back out in a bit, guys.”
The others nod, and Chamelion goes back into
the house. He walks down the long
hallway to the bathroom, but stops before going in. He turns towards us, his
face serious.
“I
hope you five appreciate my little gem here, cause it wasn’t easy to put
together. I know that in the next
few weeks we’re all going to be going full blast into this match, and that
means a lot or words are going to be exchanged.
I’m offering up a simplistic way for each of you to hear what I have
to say about you, without wading through tons of points about everyone else.
It’s an interesting concept, if I do say so myself, and I hope you
enjoy it. In a moment, you’ll
see a menu with all six of us, and all you need to do is click on your photo
and you’ll get a promo all about you! Neat
eh? You may laugh at this concept,
or come up with something negative to say, but that’s cool with me.
If I put forth this much effort just to share my insights about all of
you, imaging what I’m going to do once I have some real juicy meat to chew
on. Kirlia will understand, since
I’ve come back against her promo already, and the rest of you can be
assured, you’re next.”
“So,
go ahead, pick a photo.. yours, or someone else’s… and don’t forget to
check out mine, and watch me win my First Undisputed Inter-federation
championship…. And what certainly won’t be my last……………”
“Whoah,
have you checked them all out, the ones you’re interested in? If not, stop
watching this and go back! Sheesh,
how impatient ARE YOU?”
