![]() Whoa... where am I. I think as I begin looking around my surroundings. All I can see is this heavy lime haze. There are no buildings, no trees, no... nothing. Just this lime green haze that surrounds me, almost suffocating me. MICHEAL, a voice calls out to me. I begin frantically looking around, but again, I see nothing. Worried about what might be out there, I begin walking forward. I still can't see anything more then two feet in front of me, so I take it slow. I walk for what seems like forever, not finding anything in my path. Is this a dream I think? It has to be, this just can't possibly be real. Suddenly that strange voice calls out to me again. Micheal! It screams. The tone of this persons voice sends a shiver up my spine. I begin to run blindly through the fog. I run and run, just wanting nothing more then to get away from the demonic voice that beckons me. Something unexpected happens though, through this foggy mess of nothingness, I trip over something. I fall flat to the ground, face first. As I lean up to look for what I tripped over, I see the dead body of my brother, Sean Graves. My eyes grow large, and my heart begins racing. This can't be happening I exclaim! Suddenly the fog splits right down the middle, and to my astonishment, there he stands... ![]() It's me, yet it's not me. The character that I play in the ring, The Dark Warrior. He stands before me with all his might and power. The sight of my alternate personality standing just a mere ten feet away sends a shiver down my spine. Then I notice something, something that I will never forget. In his right hand, this figure holds a blood soaked knife. . .. ... Suddenly I fly up out of bed. My heart is still pounding like a base drum in a metal song. I look around the room trying to figure out what just happened. It soon comes to realization that I was just dreaming. It felt so real, yet seemed so odd. It was definitely one of the weirdest nightmares I have ever had. I began wondering, why was Sean dead in my dream, and how come my wrestling personality was the one holding the knife? I just shook my head. I didn't feel like examining a dream right now. After all, it wasn't nothing BUT a dream, right? I mean, people dream crazy sh*t all the time. Going to school or work naked. Having sex with girls that they find disgusting. This was no different. At least I hoped. I jumped out of bed, and the pain from my ribs almost floored me. I fell back to the bed, and reached over into the top drawer of my night stand. That's where I hid them.... I pulled out my pain killers, and removed the lid from the bottle. There where three left. I pulled out all three, broke them in half, and then digested them with a glass of water I had sitting by the bed. Breaking the pills in half might seem a bit odd, but it really helped them take effect faster. I slowly got out of bed, this time taking extra care not to upset my ribs. I went down stairs and turned on my CD player as I brewed a pot of coffee. Looking up at the time, I realized that I had almost over slept. I had a promo to shoot in less than half an hour! I quickly began rushing around, gathering clothes, and jumping in the shower. About twenty minutes later I arrived at the spot this promo would be shot at. As I walked in, I noticed that it was nothing more than a normal interviewing studio. Two chairs facing one another. A small end table in the middle, with a vase and flowers sitting on top of it. A fake wall complete with pictures behind it. It was really made to look like some sort of office or something, but in reality, it was nothing more then a constructed set. I walked over to the man who seemed to be in charge. He informed me that Steve Sayors would be out in just a moment to conduct an on air interview with me. After a few moments, Sayors walked into the large room, and stepped up onto the set. He shook my hand, and we exchanged pleasantries before the interview started. Steve Sayors Micheal, I would like to start off by thanking you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to do this interview with me. Micheal Graves Always a pleasure Steve. Steve Sayors Well, as most fans know, this week on Anarchy. You and your brother Sean Graves will be taking on the team of Blizzard and Nick Nitro. Only this time the two of you will be taking on each member in a singles match. Your brother is set to face Blizzard, and your going up against Nitro. Any thoughts on your opponents? Micheal Graves Well, despite everything I might say. Nitro is a good kid at heart. I saw something in him the first time we met, and I still see it to this day. The only thing I really don't like is his attitude. And he seems to be getting that from his new partner Blizzard. Steve Sayors Well, I know that you played a role in training Nitro during your time in WPW. Would you say that the two of you are friends? Micheal Graves Well, I wouldn't go that far Steve. The two of us are able to chat from time to time without throwing punches or anything, but I really don't have any friends, no even Nitro. Steve Sayors ok, two weeks ago, you suffered a pretty major injury that would have sidelined most at least for a month. You suffered a broken rib, and even managed to puncture one of your lungs. now as I said, most people would have taken time off and tried to heal up before even thinking about stepping back into the ring. Why didn't you take some much deserved time off? Micheal Graves Many reasons Steve. First of all, Sean and myself had a very big Tag Title match coming up the following week. I felt that Sean needed any help I could offer, which turned out to not be much. Also, I knew that if I took the time off, Carver would have striped Sean and myself of the titles. I really didn't want to see that happen, not after how hard we worked to get those belts. Steve Sayors Well last week, you were not able to put up much of a fight at all, and it ended up being Sean who not only lead, but also won the match for your team. So do you think your injured ribs will play an important role again this week? Micheal Graves No, I don't. Right now I am feeling some where around 85% - 90%. The fact remains that even injured, I am still more sound in the ring than most are at 100%. Steve Sayors So your trying to tell me that in less than three weeks, you've managed to heal an injury that would take over a month to fully heal even if you weren't wrestling? Micheal Graves What can I say? I'm a fast healer. Steve Sayors Well Nick Nitro recently acknowledge the fact that you did help train him, but he went on to point out that you also revealed your weakness to him while doing so. Any thoughts on that? Micheal Graves Ok, um yeah, what weakness would that be? The fact that I end up with fat chicks when I drink too much? You know, if that's the only thing he has going to him in this match, let me just save him the trouble and go get drunk instead of fighting him Thursday. Steve Sayors So your saying you don't have any weaknesses in the ring? Micheal Graves Exact-o-mundo! Steve Sayors Ok, well moving on, there have been reports that you and your brother Sean have been seen arguing backstage. Now, one can't seem but to think back to the time when you first entered the XWF. It wasn't long at all before the two of you were at each others throats. Any chances that the two of you might be heading down that path again? Micheal Graves Listen Sayors, every team, and any brother has an argument or two. Sean and I can't possibly agree on everything, so yes, we have had a few spats backstage. Nothing to worry about those as we have always been able to solve our problems. Steve Sayors Well one source informed me that Sean believes you to think your better than him. Any thoughts on that? Micheal Graves Source? What source? No, I don't think I am better than Sean. We are a team, and that means that as far as I'm concerned we are equal. Everything I achieve, he achieves with me, and vise versa. Steve Sayors Well Micheal, thanks again for your time, and good luck tomorrow night. Micheal Graves Wait, that's it? Steve Sayors Yeah, I've heard all I wanted to know. I mumble under my breath as I get up and walk off the set. The nerve of this guy, calling me out on my ribs, trying to reveal my weakness. Of course they're still injured! I'm just getting by day to day on pain pills for Gods sake! Does Nitro need to know that? NO! Does the rest of the roster, whom I may face in the ring at any given time need to know that? NO! Do I want it know that I am becoming addicted to pain killers? Again.. NO! Then he has the gaul to bring up mine and Seans problems outside of the ring? Where does this guy get off? What goes on between me and Sean is none of his, or the XWFs business! |
