{The face is immediately recognizable. A little aged from the last time he graced World Pro Wrestling, his gaze is stern…determined. The area around him is dark, minus the faint glow of a single floor lamp. The old rocking chair sways, creaking slightly. Lee sits, tall and proud, for a few moments before speaking.}
Lee: It’s been awhile. The time away for me…it’s been nothing but positive. I’m still training the future of professional wrestling at the Chris Lee Wrestling Academy. I’m starting my own organization, Desert Sun Wrestling, in August. I’ve gotten to spend time with my friends and family and take a long, hard look at what has been 12 years of dedication to professional wrestling.
I used the time away from World Pro Wrestling to heal some old wounds. The knee surgery wasn’t a real highpoint, but I’ve learned to deal with it.
{Lee adjusts himself in the rocking chair, momentarily bringing his heavily braced left knee into view.}
As time crept on, there were some things…ideas…that I could not deal with. Namely, I couldn’t deal with the current state of World Pro Wrestling.
Since I’ve been gone, all indications are that World Pro Wrestling has gone to hell-in-a-hand basket…complete with Firebomb holding the World Championship. Firebomb? Really?
{Lee’s look is that of guinuine disbelief.}
I suppose holding the current WpW World Championship vaults you into mega-star status, at least in the case of Firebomb. I had the fortu…er…well…I watched GoldPush 54 earlier this month. Every five minutes, Firebomb or his little shit T-Bomb or Stink Bomb. At first, it was comical. It was laughable, until it hit me, this man is holding a title held by The Striken, PDJ, SBK, Grendel…and…now, following the historical, record-setting, boundary-pushing stars of World Pro Wrestling, is Firebomb?
{Lee rolls his eyes, slightly.}
Good god…what a shame.
GoldPush 54 would only get better from there. As if seeing 4,000 minutes of Firebomb on television wasn’t punishment enough, WpW fans were force-fed one of the biggest bullshit matches I have ever seen. Sebastian versus Lucy U or Lucy Who or whoever the sam-hell she was for the WpW All-Time TV title. A championship that has seen some absolutely tremendous matches in the history of the organization gets relegated to the garbage we saw in Japan? Too fame-hungry dipshits looking to bounce around and wave their little New Era flags and all the bullshit that comes with it.
I just couldn’t take anymore. I could not stand by and watch a company with such tradition; pride and respect continue to be run into the ground by an abundance of talentless hacks. In typical Chris Lee fashion, I figured I’d just take my happy ass to Hawaii and start rectifying the situation. That’s right, folks…Chris Lee is back in the hunt for World Pro Wrestling’s All-Time TV title.
{Clearing his throat, Lee’s voice rises a bit upon reference of current WpW All-Time TV champ, Sebastian.}
Sebastian, you pulled a slick one kid. I was on the edge of my seat watching that epic match you put on in Japan. Great stuff, man. So many high spots, tremendous energy…yadda yadda. While I agree, Firebomb is a hack…you had the swinging nuts to bash him and SST. Kid, they show up. They perform…not very well in Firebomb’s case…but they do. You think that shit you pulled at GoldPush 54 woulda’ flown with “old-timers”? Your daddy himself would have kicked a hole in the back of your head for some shit like that.
You spew shit about this “new era”. If your performance at GoldPush 54 was indicative, I’ll pray for the state of professional wrestling. You want to change things, prove something, kid you’ll get your chance. Can you prove that shit against me?
I’m not Lucy U, kid. I’m a former WpW Big Gold Champion. I’m a former WpW All-Time TV Champion. I’m a former WpW Fed Cup winner. I was ranked the #15 best wrestler in the history of World Pro Wrestling. Now, entertain me…what the hell have you done?
{Lee sits back in the chair with a quizzical stare.}
I’ll wait…
{Seconds pass before Lee continues.}
You’re on your New Era campaign against the old school…you’re looking at a pillar. I’m as old school a performer as you’ll find in World Pro Wrestling. The actual match in the ring…well…that still matters to me. Putting on a good show for the fans…well…that’s still important, too. How I’m remembered…that sure as hell matters.
We’re going to show up in Hawaii kid, and I can pretty much guarantee ya’ that it’ll just be Chris Lee and Sebastian in the ring…’cause kinda’ like the Fed Cup “battle”…once Chris Lee throws his name into the hat, people are little more hesitant to join the fray. You may have a famous bloodline, you may be wanting to do things your daddy never did, you may want to usher in a “New Era”…but I have a way of altering plans.
I’m old, granted, and a little beat up, I admit…but I’m still the most violent s.o.b. to ever step foot into the World Pro Wrestling ring. Your “New Era”, Sebastian, is facing a member of the old guard at the Stan Sheriff Center. How do you respond?
Take notice, World Pro Wrestling. “The Icon” has unfinished business. It starts with Sebastian at GoldPush 55 for the All-Time TV gold. It’ll end with my shot at the resident retard Firebomb, Mr. WpW himself.
{Lee rises from the old rocking chair, before mumbling…}
I wonder how much face-time that babbling idiot will get come GoldPush live from Hawaii?
