Welcome to Gaia! ::

*Right after the third match of the night, E Rock was standing in the middle of the ring as his theme song died down. He glared at the unappreciative fans as he brought the mic to his lips.*

Last week, I was a victim of an inept management: I was placed in an unfair triple threat match against Major Devastation and the Australian Nightmare Harli for the Intercontinental title.

Of course, you must be asking yourself: Why was the match unfair? Isn't this just another case of E Rock whining and moaning about lost opportunities?

Rest assured, I'm not a complainer. I just see things the way they are.

Let me take you back to two weeks ago.

*The titantron then showed E Rock hitting the Bay Swag on the Major and winning the IC title.*

I ended the reign of one of the longest IC Champions in the history of the WWF on one of the biggest PPV's of the year. That should have been the beginning of the Age of E Rock.

But, management decides that things must be different. It decides to place me in a rematch with the Major a day after the PPV.

*The titantron then showed the Major winning back the IC title.*

Well, the Major is justified in having a rematch and when I lost my match, I had also a guaranteed rematch. But of course, for my rematch, I was placed in a Triple Threat match instead of an one-on-one match that the Major got before.

How was that fair? Tell me how was that fair?

*The crowd grew a little quieter.*

Face the facts, I am guaranteed an one-on-one rematch with the champion, but this morning, management told me that I don't get any more chances because it decided to cancel my guaranteed one on one rematch. Furthermore, management said that I need to work my way back up.

As for the Major, he gets rewarded by defending his title against a weak female opponent for the next few weeks or so. Bravo, Major. Way to show off your manhood by beating up women.

Now tell me how is that fair?

*E Rock paused as the crowd booed him.*

Now, you're booing me. That's really classy. My question to management is how can you let a wrestler from another organization who pledges allegiance to that organization take your second most coveted title? The Major is from EGW, or ECW, or whatever trailer trash wrestling promotion that some of you like to watch. Management, how could you stack the deck against me, a superstar who has stood true to you from the moment I lace up my boots and give the deck to a third rate wrestler who couldn't hold a candle to my accomplishments?

*E Rock received louder boos.*

I just don't understand why you would put your most prized superstar in such a situation. Whatever grudge you have against me, you cannot keep me down. The cream also rises to the top and it is my destiny to not only be Intercontinental Champion again but also the World Heavyweight Undisputed Champion!

*E Rock glared at the fans.*

Speaking of the Undisputed title, I would know like to address our esteemed champion, Chrono. Chrono, I heard what you said about me two weeks ago. I'm the biggest joke since what's his name? And then you had the audacity to show up on the Titantron right after the match that I was involved with last week? Who do you think you are?


Oh wait! You're the best in the world, right? You're the 42 time world champion, right? Well, assuming that you can call most of your titles world championships and that you claim that you retired over 20 world titles, then you are a 20 time loser! Chrono, how could you lose the World Championship 20 times? Does that sound like the best in the world to you?

*A resonating "No" followed from the crowd.*

That captures my sentiments exactly. So congratulations, Chrono, you 41 time loser. Congratulations on involving your white trash wife and her ex-husband/rapist involved in the World title picture. You disgust me, Chrono. You, your trash of a wife, and that ex-husband guy should all be in the Jerry Springer Show instead of the main event. This is the WWF, a place of dignity and respect and you just ruined all of that.

*Some of the fans applauded this statement.*

Now, let me reiterate: Sooner or later, that Undisputed title will belong to me! TO ME!

*E Rock then glared at the camera.*

*E Rock was a bit astounded by the ovation that Jarel received. As the crowd chanted Jarel's name, E Rock glared the fans for a moment before bringing the microphone back to his lips.*

Well, well, well, it seems like the mighty Jarel Damone has decided to grace me with his presence.

*E Rock smiled.*

The Veteran of the WWF. One of the originals, right? A man who fought Shawn Michaels, the Undertaker, GBL, Rhamm and won World titles dozens of times. Around here, you are the living legend.

*The crowd applauded Jarel and chanted "Living Legend" as E Rock bowed a bit to Jarel while keeping his eyes on the always dangerous Dragon.*

You know, Jarel, as much as you have in common with Chrono, we also have something in common. We are self-made men. During my absence from the WWF, I fought through a potential career ending injury and learned how to play the economic games of Wall Street. As a result, I stand before you, a self-made millionaire whose investments are growing by the minute and who has established a high position in a prestigious financial company. Does the name Merrill Lynch ring any bells?

As for you, we all know that Jarel had to scratch and claw his way to get to the top. You dethroned countless "souls" as you would call it to get to the level that you are now and you stayed there for the past four years. That is an impressive accomplishment, indeed.

*E Rock then raised an eyebrow.*

So I feel a little disappointed that you had to come out here and ridicule me when we are somewhat cut from the same cloth.

I am also disappointed in the fact that you're trying to come with crazy mythical nicknames for yourself and the WWF. You're a dragon? The WWF is a kingdom? Come on, man. We all know dragons don't exist. And the WWF is not your kingdom. This ring is not your kingdom. And where are the peasants you are referring to? Are they the fans? Or are they just products of wild imagination.

*E Rock smirked.*

So, Mr. Damone, since you love to invent nicknames for yourself, why you don't go backstage and invent some new ones? Like Jarel the water-loving mermaid? Jarel the Angry Old Troll? Jarel the Long-Lost Brother of the Seven Dwarves of Snow White?

*E Rock took a couple of steps back.*

Well, they don't really stick, do they? Oh, I got it. It's good. How about Jarel The Washed Up Legend Who Gets Killed by E Rock. Step up to me, Jarel and I will cut your little dragonfly wings off.

*E Rock staggered back from the punch and tried to retailate with a Flash Back Superkick out of nowhere.*

*E Rock was a bit surprised that Jarel was able to catch the kick. Quickly, he found himself on the mat with Jarel pounding him. He covered up the best he could.*

*E Rock got clotheslined out of the ring as the crowd cheered. Slowly, he rolled away from the ring and used the barricade to stand. He the motioned for a stagehand to hand him a mic.*

NO! NO! That's not how it goes!

I WILL NOT BE DISRESPECTED LIKE THIS!

*E Rock glared at the crowd as he slowly backed up.*

Jarel, old man, I challenge you TO A MATCH NEXT WEEK!

((By the way, is Zarel Jamone another one of your characters?))

*The cheers and applause rained down on Jarel. The self-made millionaire E Rock was left seething on the top of stage as he stared into the eyes of Jarel. If looks could kill, Jarel would be a pile of smothering ash by now.*
