It's been a long time since Micheal Graves last stepped foot in an...

Hey narrator, beat it!

But I have to set up the scene!

No time pal! That Jimson jerk put some heavy restrictions on promo time for this event.

Surely there's enough time to explain where you've been and why you're back?

Ha! I wish, but there's no way that we would have enough time for you to describe my epic battle with the legendary Unknown Soldier, or how he only beat me because..."

He's better than you in every way imaginable?

What!?! I TOLD YOU WE DIDN'T HAVE TIME TO TALK ABOUT IT!

Graves huffs like a teenage girl. It's not a very good look for a guy pushing 50.

Get fucked assclown!

Go fuck a baby!

WHAT!?!

Don't be ridiculous! I don't do that shit anymore!

Really? So you finally realized just how evil you were and sought to change?

More like I saw how evil I WASN'T!

That pedophile shit is old news! nobody even blinks an eye at that routine anymore! That's why my new thing is coughing on fruit and hoarding medical supplies! You've gotta stay on the cutting edge of evil if you want to stay on top!"

You've got to be kidding. Are you really so desperate for someone to take notice of you that you'd stoop as low as endangering the lives of countless others?

Well obviously! Are you surprised? REALLY? My entire career has been built from the hype caused by the crazy things that I say and do. If I'm not pushing the limits of good taste, then what am I even doing here?

Not putting on exciting matches, that's for sure!

Hey, What's with all the burying? You're SUPPOSED to be on MY SIDE!

Come now, you know that nobody has ever been on your side Micheal...

That's not true, I had friends!

Friends? Who? Cadryn? AX3? They weren't your friends, and they proved it with how quick they were to abandon you when you needed them the most!

Th...They had their reasons, I was acting out of my mind!

Is this you acting IN your mind?

I don't understand!

You're STILL crazy Micheal!

No I'm not! I'm fine, everything is fine, IT'S ALL GOING TO BE FINE!

You're locked in a dark room, carrying on a conversation with an invisible narrator that likely resides in your own head... Does anything about this REALLY seem fine to you?

I've gotta get outta here!

There's no way.

I've done it before!

Yes, but Lane changed the locks to make sure that you don't escape again.

Curse that damned Vinnie Lane!

Suddenly!

Suddenly what!?!

Don't interrupt!

...

Suddenly there is a loud bang! Graves looks towards the source of the booming noise. The bright light suddenly flooding into the once dark room is blinding, but as his eyes adjust, Graves notices a figure standing in the doorway.



OMG, You look like CRAP!
