I watched Krystal as she slept in "The Powers That Be" locker room. I remembered watching her sleep as I did in Flint. She was beautiful with a pure heart. However, her heart had been sickened by Reaver. Reaver had tourtured her and she showed some cuts and brusies from that tourture. Reaver had really messed up her mind, but now she was peacefully sleeping with no harm to come to her. I began to wonder what she was dreaming about. I hoped she was dreaming of something happy. All I wished for her was to be happy.
I rose from the couch, trying not to disturb her. She did not wake. I walked over to Eric's desk where I found my EWA Tag Team title that Reaver and Alexander had stolen from JR and I a few weeks ago. Finally, they were in our grasp. I picked up the title and remembered I had yet to clean off the blood that Reaver had painted on it. It was covered in blood, but the symbol of the pentagram stood out. I carried my title into the bathroom and turned on the hot water. I waited a few seconds before beginning to wash it.
As I waited I remembered the time, only a few months ago, when I won the EWA Rising Star Championship. However, winning the EWA Tag Team Championship with JR didn't feel the same. It felt better, much better. I looked at the blood stained title and realized that I had officially made my mark in the EWA. JR and I were to be rekoned with. I felt great because not only had I made my mark in EWA history, I had did it with JR. JR and I worked well together. Maybe it was because of our brief fued or maybe it was because we were destined to be Tag Team Champions. I just knew that we were the number one tag team in the EWA.
I tested the water with my hands. It was luke warm, so I decided to begin. I scrubbed the gold plate with a wash cloth. Soon the cloth was stained red. The blood seemed to be sticking on the title, it was everywhere. I remembered when JR, Mark and I rescued Krystal. It was only a few days ago and I can remember it like it was a few minutes ago. I replayed the spot in my head as JR and Mark came out. Krystal, who was still covered in blood at that time, was struggling to get free. However, I can't remember anything after that. All I can remember is the blood that was all over Krystal. Just like Reaver had covered this very title in blood.
Finally, my half of the EWA Tag Team Championship was clean. Not a single drop of blood pierced its shine as I looked in the mirror with it over my shoulder. The title gleamed in the light. I was half of the EWA Tag Team Champions and, my friend, JR was the other half. We shared the name Tag Team Champions fifty-fifty, just like we shared the decisions of "The Powers That Be" fifty-fifty before Mark, Eric and Ash joined us. My friend, JR was the very man that will officially get my revenge on Reaver at Unsanctioned. JR will roll Reaver's lifeless body into the casket and close the lid.
Suddenly, I heard a noise in "The Powers That Be's" locker room. I took a step toward the bathroom door and peered out into the open locker room. It was Krystal. She was just getting awake, but she had knocked over a glass of water. I looked at the watch on my hand, because soon I had a schedualedinterview with Belinda. It was three fifty-five pm. I looked towards the door and there was a knock. She was always early and she would always just walk in like she owned the place. I hated that. It was like an invasion of privacy.
Krystal was done cleaning up the mess that she had made and came up behind me and wrapped her arms around me. I was glad to have her home as I watched Belinda and the camera guy set up. I took my shirt off and threw it in the big pile of clothes. I set my half of the EWA Tag Team Championship on Eric's desk as Belinda settled in. Krystal came up behind me, with a towel and wash cloth and began to speak.
.~.~:~:~:KRYSTAL:~:~:~.~.
I'm gonna hop in the shower. Do you want to come?
.~.~:~:~:MEGESTRO:~:~:~.~.
No thanks, but maybe after a few words with Belinda I will get in there with you.
OK, don't be too long now.
We began chuckling, but Belinda remained silent. Krystal headed towards the bath room as Belinda looked at her with pure hatred. I noticed this, but she didn't notice me looking at her. Even after Krystal was shut out behind the door, Belinda kept looking towards the door. I let her day dream for about thirty secons before I spoke up.
Hello!? Are we gonna do this interview, because I have an open invitation to that shower if we aren't.
.~.~:~:~:BELINDA:~:~:~.~.
No! No, we are gonna do this. I just kind of drifted off there for a second. Besides, you wouldn't want Paul comming in here to interview you. You want a professional, like me.
What do you mean a professional? Like a professional interviewer or a professional 'I'll give you what you want if you give me what I want?'
Hey, that wasn't very nice.
Just get on with the interview, geez!
Ok, I have a few questions here, but where do we start. Hmmm. OK, last week on Shockers, you and JR successfully defended your titles against Sub 0 and Reaver in a cage match. How do you feel still being half of the EWA Tag Team Champs?
Me? How does "The Most Extreme" feel? Well, for the most part, I feel great still being the Tag Team Champions with JR. Once again, we beat the living s*** out of Reaver and Sub 0. They just don't get it. They can't get it threw their thick skulls that they can't beat us. However, we sure did smack their heads against the steel a few times. We, as a team, are unstoppable. As a team, we have only been beat once and that was with interference. However, I was not worried about keeping the EWA Tag Team titles on Saturday. The only thing I was concerned about was getting Krystal safe from Reaver's sick and demented mind. He tourtured her for damn near a month. I bet he thinks he's a free man now. NO! He will get what is coming to him. At Unsanctioned, he will meet JR in a Casket match. JR will not stop until he rolls Reaver's lifeless body into that casket and shuts the lid. Then, Reaver will be through. No more Death and definately no more tourturing. JR, Mark, Ash and myself all saved her and I thank them all for that.
Oh, yeah! Ash Seymour joined "The Powers That Be." What do you think of him?
Ash Seymour. Two times he was the EWA European Champion. However, he doesn't consider them crediable wins. You see, back when Ash was in "GX," he got a lot of help from Bison, D-Frost and other members. Now he realizes that that wasn't the right road to travel. He realizes that "GX" is all a bunch of cheaters. He knows that once he was a cheater and hates himself for that. Actually, to tell you the truth, he reminds me of myself when I was in the "G's" back in Flint. Both of us cheated the system to survive and now we are trying to change. Ash Seymour is a good guy and he is a legend in the making. That's for damn sure!
Speaking of "GX," this weekend you have a tag team match against Dragon and D-Frost. We will get to Dragon later, but what are your thoughts about D-Frost?
-Frost. The very man that Ash Seymour faced and lost to at Sinners. D-Frost has yet to face "The Most Extreme," but yes, he will face me on Saturday Night Shockers. He is probably thinking to himself 'I'm not worried about Megestro, I'm worried about Joker.' However, he needs to worry about me. Have you ever heard the expression, don't judge a book by its cover? Well, that's me and D-Frost has a wake up call. He will soon realize that not only am I "The Most Extreme," I am also a threat. You see, I am half of the EWA Tag Team Champions. I am a top rated player in tag team matches. And with Joker as my partner, I will be able to show the entire EWA roster that I am a threat to the EWA World Heavyweight Championship. I guaruntee that!
Like you said, your partner will be Joker. Joker, along with D-Frost and Dragon, will be a man you meet in the Elimination Chamber at Unsanctioned. How well do you think Joker and you will work as a team even though, in a few weeks, you will be enemies?
It's simple, really. Joker realizes the chance he has. Doing what every smart man will, he will join with me to eliminate the fight that D-Frost and Dragon will hold at Unsanctioned in the Elimination Chamber. Joker realizes that Dragon and D-Frost will be big players in the Elimination Chamber if we don't cut them down to size on Saturday's main event. Joker has been defeated by Dragon once at Sinners, I don't think he plans on being defeated again. He will be my tag team partner in this match and I will be his. If he wants to survive until Unsanctioned, he will watch my back and I will watch his. Just because we are tag team partners for one match, doesn't mean that we will be friends at Unsanctioned. I highly doubt that. However, we will make D-Frost and Dragon wish they were never born after we are through with them!
Now on to the man that Flamekicked you a few weeks ago at a house show. What are your thoughts about the current EWA World Heavyweight Champion, Dragon?
ragon, the man that doesn't think "The Most Extreme" is a threat. The man with no aim. The man that went to Flamekick Joker and instead hit me. Sure, it hurt, but it won't hurt as bad as Dragon will after his match with Joker and "The Most Extreme." You see, I am going out there to prove to him, "GX," the entire EWA roster that I have what it takes to be a contender for the EWA Wrold Heavyweight Championship. Not only that, I am a contender for Dragon's strap. Soon Dragon will realize that I am a threat to him, that I am a threat to his title. I have been waiting for this chance for the last six years of my wrestling career and damn it, I'm gonna prove what and who I am. You see, it doesn't matter if Dragon is the champion now. When we enter that Elimination Chamber, it will be anybodys title. The Dragon cannot be slayed? Don't be kiddin' me Dragon, you can be slayed and you will be slayed. Shockers is just a warm up to your slaying. Realize now, I am a threat and I have come to slay the Dragon!
Now get out of here. I have to go get a shower!
Belinda began gathering up her things as I began taking off my clothes, walking towards the bath room. I could see steam rising from the crack onder the door. I smiled and thought to myself as I opened the door, this is gonna be a good week. I looked in the bath room mirror as I dried my chest and face off from the warm shower. I wrapped the towel around my waist as I continued looking in the mirror. For the first time since I got caught selling drugs, I was happy. I wasn't happy, because I was living my goal as a wrestler on the EWA roster. I wasn't happy, because I had won the EWA Rising Star Championship or the EWA Tag Team Championship. I wasn't happy, because I had been selected to be a participant in the Elimination Chamber at Unsanctioned for the EWA World Heavyweight Championship. All though those things made me happy, it wasn't near the happiness I felt now.
It was simple. I was happy, because Krystal, the only girl I had ever loved, was back in my life. I hoped it would be for good. However, I didn't want her to get any ideas. I mean, I wasn't the type of guy to go out and get married. However, if there was a possibility of me marring someone, it would be Krystal. She might even be the sexiest girl ever to hit EWA. I was glad about that too. I have seen the guys in the back. They look at me with envy, becasue I have Krystal. I never thought I would see the day where Krystal would walk along side me to the ring.
I walked out of the bathroom with the towel still around my waist. I looked at the couch to find Krystal already fast asleep. I looked into the work out room and saw JR as he pumped his weights. He had the week off this week, but next week is Unsanctioned and he was looking forward to beating the p*** out of Reaver not only for what he had done to Krystal, but also for his own personal reasons. I looked around to see if Mark or Ash were around. They weren't. They were probably off in the training faculity working with some EWA recruits. I realized Krystal was safe here with JR.
I put on some clothes and made my way to the door. I needed to put out a promo. Although I had yet to here from D-Frost or Dragon, I knew they were listening. If they weren't listening, Bison, Nathan Irvine or Whisper would be listening. I remembered when you couldn't get the "GX" members apart. That was when I first signed with the EWA. Although my contract didn't pay much at first, Davis had given me a lot of raises, even before he joined "The Powers That Be." Davis gave me a big raise when I was selected to wrestle in the Elimination Chamber, as he did JR and Mark. We were probably the top paid guys under "GX," Joker, Camaro and Jonothan Lee. However, we weren't too far behind.
I made my way down the hallway and looked at my watch. It was a quarter after seven. I was gonna be a few minutes late, but at least I was getting there. I walked up to the techs that had been showing clips of last weeks cage match between "The Ministry's" Sub 0 and Reaver and "The Powers That Be's" JR and me. They took up about thirty seconds and I finally had got there. They hit a few buttons and I heard "Remember Me!?" by Eminem begin to blast throughout the arena. I hard the fans erupt into cheers as a few explosions rattled the arena walls. I walked out and into the flashes of cameras. I made my slow decent down to ringside and climbed up the steps when I got there. I quickly hopped over the top rope, which had became a trademark of all of us in "The Powers That Be," even Eric did it sometimes. I grabbed the mic that was waiting for me in the middle of the ring and flexed my muscles. Once again I was blinded by flashes from cameras, but I liked it.
It's been a long time, but it is great to be back in New York City!
Madison Square Gardens is where it will all go down. You will see Scoot Williams, Dragon Rage and Mark Fletcher battle it out for the EWA Cruiser Weight Championship! You will see the sixty minute hardcore brawl featuring Denim for the EWA Xtreme Championship! You will see the Casket match between Reaver and JR! And many more! However, the main event will be in the Elimination Chamber. The participants of the Elimination Chamber include Dragon, D-Frost, "Prime Time," Joker, Warlord and one other guy. Oh yeah! It's "The Most Extreme" baby! I will fight my heart out not only for myself, but for each and everyone of you!
First I will start off with "Prime Time" Phil Ward. The last time I was face to face with hiw was before the cage match and to tell you the truth, I could smell fear all over him. He isn't nothing but a third rate wrestler with a first class name. Who cares what he has done in previous organizations. Nobody cares about his Japanese Death Match. You want to know why, cause "Prime Time" sucks! As soon as he signed with the EWA, what did he do? He joined "The Ministry" to give them some guidence. What has he done for them? Nothing! He brags all the time about owning the WWO, but guess what? I don't give a s***. He can own all the little independent federations, he can have the entire EWA roster join him and he can be in all the Japanese Kung-Fu-Pow Matches he wants, he will still be a loser in my book. Like I said. He is a third rate wrestler with a first class name. His name is all he gots. Besides, who would call theirselves "Dangerously Funky" anyways? I guess just him. Sure, it's an original name, but let's face it. IT BLOWS!
God d*** right he does. However, one man that worries me above all the rest is Warlord. I personally believe that this man is a crazy and insane man. He is over seven foot tall, he is simply huge. Warlord and myself scuffled a little bit in the hallway a few weeks ago, soon after we learned that we were participants in the Elimination Chamber. He is about six inches taller than me, but I didn't back down. At Unsanctioned I won't back down neither! I, unlike some men in the EWA, am not afraid of Warlord. Sure he maybe able to kick my a**, BUT, but I will never quit! I will keep coming after him until he gives up. This message goes out to Warlord, you want some big boy, come get some, because I am still in here and I am not afraid of the likes of you, nor anyone else for that matter.
I heard the crowd give Warlord kind of a mixed reaction. There was some major Warlord fans in the house as there was major Megestro fans. I smiled, because I knew any other time I would win over this crowd. However, I couldn't quite them over Warlord. I continued on to the final three particaipants that I would be involved in a match with on Saturday Night Shockers.
You see, just like I'm not afraid of Warlord, I'm not afraid of D-Frost or Dragon. All I see in D-Frost is a cheater and a backstabber. He has backstabbed "GX" as he has backstabbed the men he fought with to try to eliminate "GX." Sooner or later, it will catch up to him. Maybe not Saturday, maybe not Unsanctioned, but sooner or later. On Saturday, I have a match with Dragon and D-Frost. D-Frost just doesn't seem to get who I am and what my purpose in the Elimination Chamber is. Sure, I am the underdog, the wildcard, but does that count me out of maybe being the EWA World Heavyweight Champion? NO! D-Frost has yet to face me in the ring to test my skills. However, on Saturday he will learn what "The Most Extreme" is all about. No, no, no! He will feel with "The Most Extreme" is all about. I will go through him like a knife on hot butter and I gauruntee after our match he will know why I was put into the Elimination Chamber, he will know why I am "The Most Extreme!"
Not only will I face D-Frost this weekend and in the Elimination Chamber, I will also meet another member of "GX." In the Elimination Chamber and the main event on Shockers this week, I will also meet the EWA World Heavyweight Champion, Dragon. The man that believes that I am not a threat. Well, Dragon. I may not be a threat to you now, but after our match on Shockers, you will look up at me in disbelief. You will look at me as if to say this can't be true. But it is. It isn't your imagination that is gonna be kicking your a** all over Madison Squre Garden, it will be me. A few weeks ago, I had some doubts in facing you. I had doubts that your cheating friends would cheat and get away with it. However, that isn't gonna happen. I checked out the Chamber. There is no way in and barely a way out. Believe me, my friend. If any of your boys try to get involved at either the Tag Team match or the Elimination Chamber this weekend, they will be met by "The Powers That Be!" If you f*** with one of us, you f*** with all of us!
This week, my partner won't be the man that I share the EWA Tag Team Championship with. Unfortunately, it won't be JR. However, it will be a man that I share a common interest with. We both want to destroy Dragon. We both want to destroy D-Frost. We both want to destroy "Generation X" as a whole. This man is none other that Joker. I know you people don't like him, but when someone is on my team, I am on theirs. No matter who it is. Together, we will destroy Dragon and D-Frost on Saturday. However, after that bell is rung and we have our arms high in the air, our partnership is over. We will go our seperate ways and we will meet at Unsanctioned in the Elimination Chamber.
In the Elimination Chamber there is no friends. There is no bonds. There is only one thing and that is the EWA World Heavyweight Championship. I know that and the rest of the participants for the Elimination Chamber know that. I will have no mercy on my opponents at Unsanctioned, just like I won't have any remorse for what Joker and "The Most Extreme" do to Dragon and D-Frost. Soon, every single person in the EWA that doesn't know that I am a threat now will know what "The Most Extreme" is all about! I am a threat! And nobody! NOBODY! F***s with "The Most Extreme!"
The fans began chantting my name. It felt good, it made me happy. Not only did they make me happy, being with Krystal also made me happy. I stood there, towards the ramp and waited. I waited to see if I could get a responce out of somebody. I doubt it. I think people were beginning to believe that I was a threat.
