Welcome to Gaia! ::

Jarel is shown sitting in the locker room.

"You know, I've been a part of EEW essentially since it was first started. I have a lot of memories, both good and bad. I remember my first night in the company being booked in four matches. I forced the Sandman to tap out, I forced Jaden to pass out, i forced Matt Hardy to tap out to win the tag team titles, and then i soundly defeated my brother Zarel inside hell in a cell. That match against the sandman was a number 1 contender's match for the EEW championship. The rest were merely my way of making a statement, and Foley being an a** by overbooking me. I remember watching Cartwright and CWP lock horns to crown the champion, and Cartwright somehow managing to come out on top. I believe that night i came on over the tron and sent Cartwright a little message of things to come."

Jarel pauses for a moment.

"I remember the following week coming face to face with Cartwright as he made me out to be some form of sadist. I remember being fairly generous in allowing him to name the match type, and ironically he chose one of my least favorite matches, a match I have little experience in, a ladder match. But that first PPV definitely holds my fondest memory. Despite one hell of a hurricarana from the top of the ladder, and interference from half the lockerroom, I defeated Cartwright with one hell of a chokeslam from the top of the ladder, giving me time to climb up and retrieve the gold. On this night, DX came to EEW, as my old rival and partner Shawn Michaels came out to help me out, to even the odds. The pose at the end, me and Brandon and Shawn, was simply classic to me."

Jarel smiles.

"The next show was yet another classic moment. Two of my always ongoing rivalries and my newest rivalry would come to a head inside my match, the hell in a cell. But this time, we made it a bit more extreme, with flames surrounding the cell. this was before the time of Bloody Reich, and i do believe this was the first time someone was set on fire here in EEW. This time though, it was Cartwright, the former champion. I'm sure he wanted to prove something, maybe that my victory was a fluke. He failed miserably as i chokeslammed him off the roof into the flame, just as I'd chokeslammed Zarel and Kane through the roof. But then it was time to move on to bigger and better things. There was a number 1 contender's match scheduled, featuring some of the biggest players in EEW. Diego Alva, Cartwright, Zarel, Kane, Shawn Michaels, and several others, all fighting to get a shot at my title. The match was narrowed to 4, Shawn Michaels, Kane, CWP, and Alva, i think. A ladder match was set up at the PPV to crown the number 1 contender. Meanwhile, Brandon and I were set to defend the tag team championships. The Rock had made his EEW debut, and decided to team with the monster that is Tank to take us on. So my brother challenged him to a tag team first blood match. We stole the spotlight that night with that match, as far as I could tell. It was a match with 2 legends teaming up with 2 rookies and clashing over the gold. We delivered one hell of a match, one that saw me bust the Rock wide open first, and then Tank soon followed. Then later that night, CWP won the number 1 contendorship to my world title. This began a low point in EEW's history. From there we had a contract signing, hosted by Heyman, in which we agreed on an extreme steel cage match. I went into the PPV knowing damn well i was going to retain the gold again and continue to carry the company on my shoulders, and i remember i had promised that little insect Diego Alva the next shot at my title. But we all know it wasn't meant to be. See, unfortunately, CWP had a little higher help on his side, in the form of a fat tub of crap that calls himself a hardcore legend, Mick Foley. Foley stripped me of the gold when he saw CWP was about to get demolished, and handed it to his handpicked champion." Jarel pauses to take a deep breath. "OK, so he's got some help. Well, i had a little something in my contract called a rematch clause, and the next show featured a fatal four way main event. Foley would like you to believe CWP retained the gold. Ha! He ran out and I pinned Zarel. So i was then fired. Dark times for EEW, as CWP was heading the brand and probably did a shitty job of it. he lost the title on his first defense to Diego. It's pretty sad really. Unfortunately, I missed out on months of action and the chance to work with some promising young talent. Lately I've heard a lot about Bloody Reich, and I want to see what all the fuss is about. I see some old foes and friends that have shown up here, such as Krymzon Ghost. I see a women's division that looks to surpass the men's if a champion isn't crowned soon. This is EEW's first birthday, and it looks promising. I don't see a fall with all of the talent in the back, unless of course, Foley is ever allowed to make a decision that affects teh company. Then we might have a problem. But looking back, I don't regret a single thing that happened here. Even the screwjob helped cement a legacy I never thought I'd obtain when i started 6 years ago. Happy birthday, EEW, and may you have many more to come."
