Part One - The Back Story

ver the last few months, allot of people have been wondering what had happened to Micheal Graves. Graves had made a return to the XWF in late 2004 under the alias of Chalupa. After a month of competing under the false name, Graves was unmasked after losing his unofficial Mexican title to Steve Sanders. The very next night on Massacre, Graves began pursuing a new face to the XWF, Keith Sharpe. The two would go on to form a successful tag team, and even earn their way to Anarchy, the XWFs flagship show by winning the XWF Tag Team titles. Soon though, the two mens personalities would begin to clash. Bickering became common place in the teams locker room. Matters worsened when Keith Sharpe was reviled to be Sean Graves. It seems that somebody had tried to kill Sean, but had failed. Sean was still alive, he just had a memory like a slice of swiss cheese. The team continued on, even with the fact that Sean and Micheal had always hated one another. They decided to try and make this work, and who could blame them? Both men were becoming very successful, and they had both finally found something that had escaped them for years... family.

All wasn't well though, it seemed that Sean Graves was growing jealous of his brother. Sean had it in his mind that Micheal was trying to hold him back, and nothing anyone could say would convince him otherwise. The teams final title defense would end with Sean Graves attacking his brother Micheal with a chair. This marked the end of era, and the beginning of a downward spiral.

You see, Micheal was trying very hard to get into the ring with his brother Sean. But for some reason, it seemed as though Sean felt remorse for his actions against Micheal. Sean was pretending like Micheal didn't even exist, while Micheal was doing everything in his power to set up a grudge match against his backstabbing brother. The match would not happen though. Over the past month leading up to their final title defense, Micheal Graves had suffered countless injuries, and had been in no shape to compete for a while. Since Micheal refused to take time off from the XWF to heal, it seemed that the XWF took matters into their own hands, and terminated Micheal Graves contract. I'm sure in the XWFs eyes, the move was made in Micheal best interest.

But then came the real shocker. Shortly after Micheal had been sent home, Sean Graves found out some terrifying news, Micheal Graves was the man who had tried to kill him so many months ago. This was enough to send Sean Graves out of the XWF to find Micheal, and possibly kill him. An eye for an eye and all that jazz. Nobody really knows if Sean found Micheal, except for Sean and Micheal of course, but one hint lies in the fact that Micheal Graves name recently resurfaced in the XWFs developmental federation, the CWF.

With both Sean and Micheal in the CWF, one must wonder what could possibly be next for these two?


Part  Two - An Offer You Can't Refuse

e rejoin 'The Dark Warrior' in his home. Micheal does not look to be in good shape at all. Sure, Micheal is still fit, or at least he appears to be, but his way of living does not suggest that this man is an athlete. Scattered all around the room are empty bottles of alcohol, everything ranging from the cheapest of beers to the most expensive bottles of liquor. Micheal himself appears to be passed out on the floor. Surly you would think that Micheal has not been living like this over the past few months. But apparently he has. Could it be because of his loss of a job? Or perhaps it's because of what has happened between him and his brother Sean? Most would agree that Micheal really seemed sincere when he tried to make piece with his brother. He seemed to feel guilty about something, but would never reveal what, or why. knowing what we do now, one could only conclude that he must have felt guilty for trying to take his brothers like during the summer of 2004.

Suddenly, as Micheal still lay motionless on the floor, there comes a sound of knocking echoing through the house. Micheal really doesn't move, but instead just lets out some sort of pathetic grown. Next the sound of a doorbell ringing franticly fills the air, and this time Micheal snaps his head up to look at the front door of his home. Micheals eyes are underlined by dark gray bags, and his beard doesn't look to have been trimmed since he was last in the XWF. Whoever is at the door begins knocking again as Graves slowly drags himself up from the floor, mumbling something under his breath the whole time. Micheal reaches out, and opens the front door. the sunlight that beams in temporarily blinds him, and for a moment he doesn't realize that his old friend Terry Blackstone is at the door. Micheal cringes and throws his arm in front of his eyes as Terry just looks on in shock at the shell of a man standing before him.

Terry Blackstone
"You look like Shit!"

Micheal Graves
"Terry?"

Terry Blackstone
"What happened to you, you look like you've been living on the streets?"

Micheal Graves
"Nothing man, I'm fine."

Terry Blackstone
"Oh god, and that smell, is that you?"

Micheal Graves
"What smell?"

Terry Blackstone
"Oh I don't know, it's like a mix between Jack Daniels, puke, and piss."

Micheal lets out a sigh as a look of disgust falls over his face. Perhaps disgust at how he has been living all this time.

Micheal Graves
"Yeah man, that would be me."

Terry Blackstone
"My God man..."

Micheal Graves
"You want to come in?"

Terry Blackstone
"I don't know, is it safe?"

Micheal doesn't even reply, he just turns away and walks back into the house. Shortly after Terry follows. The expression on Terry's face says it all as he looks around the room.

Terry Blackstone
"Micheal, please tell me you had a huge party last night, and about two hundred people were here drinking..."

Micheal Graves
"Believe what you like. Anyway, what do I owe the pleasure of your visit?"

Terry walks over the the couch and pushes some empty beer cans to the side as he takes a seat.

Terry Blackstone
"Well, I was wondering if you would be interested in working again?"

Micheal Graves
"Working? You mean for XWF?"

Terry Blackstone
"Not exactly. You see, XWF has opened a new developmental territory, and..."

Micheal Graves
"Wait! What happened to Total Impact?"

Terry Blackstone
"Long story short, workers no showing their cards cost them so much money that they were forced to fold."

Micheal Graves
"That really sucks man. TIW really had something going for them."

Terry Blackstone
"Well, now XWF is supporting CWF instead."

Micheal Graves
"CWF? Is Chris Reed in charge there too?"

Terry Blackstone
"No, Demonica is."

Micheal Graves
"Demonica? As in Hellfire X's wife?"

Terry Blackstone
"Exactly. Anyhow Micheal, what I am trying to say is that I have spoken with Demonica about you coming in and working some shows for them, and she thought it would be a good idea."

Micheal Graves
"Listen, that's all fine and good Terry, but I've already paid my dues. I just turned thirty three. I've held World titles in the XWF, GWFO, and NWO. Exactly why would I want to take three steps back and work for a small company that's just starting out?"

Terry Blackstone
"Well, I have two reasons that might interest you."

Micheal Graves
"Ok?"

Terry Blackstone
"First, if you do well there, chances are very good that I can get you back on Anarchy with the XWF."

Micheal Graves
"And the other reason?"

Terry Blackstone
"Sean Graves is active in CWF."

The look on Micheals face changes from interest to almost a daze. Micheal thinks back to the storied history between him and his brother Sean. For all the fighting the two have endured, they have yet to ever step into the ring one on one and face each other to find out which of them is truly the better man. This is something that Micheal Graves has wanted to do for a long time coming. And after his brothers betrayal just a few short months ago in the XWF, the thought of getting him into a wrestling ring is now more enticing than ever.


Part  Three - The Return

few days have past since Terry first met with Micheal Graves. Micheal of course jumped at the chance to rejoin the XWF, and finally meet his brother Sean in the ring. Now, with a contract signed with CWF, and motivation to get his life back together. Micheal Graves had only one thing to worry about. His first match back. That match would be in the ring against Shawn Matters. Micheal briefly knew of Shawn Matters. He knew enough to know that Shawn was no push over. From his matches with the XWF, to his career through TIW, Micheal had learned enough to know that he would really have to get his ass back in some sort of shape, both mentally and physically before their scheduled April 15th match.
