This is something I wrote a long time ago, I just want to make sure my work is something that would fit in with this place before I take the time to fill out a character application and so forth.
-April 3rd, 2008-
An online video feed slowly flickers to life…
“A tragedy has been dealt to the wrestling world just 48 hours ago… And what has the Fusion Championship Wrestling done in the wake of one of their most talented wrestler’s death?”
-October 4th, 2011-
The shot is a bit dark and all that can be seen is a silhouette of a man sitting in a chair. His voice instantly explodes onto camera.
“THEY DID NOTHING! THEY…”
The man clears his throat and he pauses for a second thinking of the right words to say next.
“They moved on… They got the tragic news that a man, a husband, and a FATHER gave his soul and life to them and when those times became too much… He took his own life and all they did was act like all of his efforts were for nothing… He was black marked and his title history was erased…”
The silhouette’s hands slowly clinch around the arms of the chair and squeeze as tight as they can.
“It was so easy to get rid of his name… Greg Anthony sat in his office piecing together the worst television ever seen by the world of wrestling and all he had to do was tell all of his writers to stop mentioning his name… He told his cyber jockies to erase him from the history books, from the websites, and to force legal action against any dirt sheet that connected him to FCW in their online ramblings…”
The video feed flickers again.
“Greg Anthony dealt with his death as bad as Vince McMahon dealt with Chris Benoit’s death… Both men are idiots if they truly believe that the wrestling world is going to forget wrestlers that they let enter their homes on a weekly basis… You can’t erase that from the history books… The fans chose to love them and they chose to hate them… They are men who think they have power to protect their product… That’s what they are and…”
The silhouette of a man leans into the light that the camera is producing and his face looks a bit familiar but there’s definitely something different about it.
“That’s what I DID… It was April Fool’s DAY and I pulled the wool over everyone’s eyes and what happened? They thought I pulled a Benoit? Minus the killing my family part?”
A slight smirk crosses the man’s lips.
“I saw a chance to have a little fun in Greg Anthony’s expense and in return I got shafted… Some would call it a sick joke, I know my wife did… She ran off with my son… She said she wanted nothing to do with me because my reality was too warped for her to be apart of… Ha, yeah I’m gonna go out on a limb here and blame it on too many chair shots to the head… Or was it the ‘extreme’ life style that I lived… You know something on the level of Jeff Hardy as many pegged me as… Come on folks, that’s just TV, I’m not running around with a trailer full of drugs… I’m not dealing with a nonstop court case that can’t find an end… I only wanted a change and I took the opportunity to make that happen… Tell me if you were in my shoes you wouldn’t have taken the same chance… and look at what happened to Fusion and Greg Anthony… Would you say I’m a fool for leaving a sinking ship when I did?”
The man stands up with a red buzzed hair cut in complete camera view wearing a suit jacket, a pair of blue jeans with holes in the knees, black and white chuck taylors, and a black t-shirt under the suit jacket with a red sun symbol with the words Nova-Kaine in the middle of the logo.
“Yeah that’s right… If you haven’t figured it out yet, I am Nova-Kaine… 3X OWC Cruiserweight Champion, 2X OWC Tag Team Champion, 1X Great Lakes Champion, 2X FCW Television Champion… THE BEST high flyer FCW EVER HAD ON THEIR ROSTER! I made heads turn when I wrestled for Fusion Championship Wrestling! I single handedly made every hardcore match they had that much more EXTREME… They placed me in every extreme rules match they could because they knew that the buy rates and viewership would go through the roof… Greg Anthony kept going back to the well every chance he got and he didn’t care of the pain that it put on ME… Let alone any of his wrestlers, why do you think the doors closed on his beloved company? Their fucking politics that ran the locker room had everyone on the edge… I was just smarter than them ducking out when I did…”
Nova grabs a red and black mask from a table sitting next to his chair.
“I have been very busy these past couple of years doing the one thing I know best… WRESTLING. Greg Anthony wasn’t going to keep me down and I didn’t want my little ‘stunt’ to get out as some publicity thing, so I donned this mask and I went to Japan, I went to Mexico, and hell I even spent some time in Canada… I wrestled as my alter ego Xero and I continued to fine tune my skills… Lucha Libre and Puroresu… Both of these skills and then some have been added to my wrestling repertoire over the years and some would claim that I am more well rounded… Which in turn makes me more dangerous in that squared circle… I once lived by the motto that I WILL DO ANYTHING TO MY OWN BODY TO WIN… And it was true then just as much as it is true NOW… I‘m an EXTREME high flyer first and everything else second… You put a ladder in front of me and I‘m going to use it… You throw me into a barbed wire C4 match and I‘m going to come out bloody as all hell with my arm raised high the victor… I know when to step up to the plate… I know when to put it all on the line… That‘s why…”
Nova puts his hand in his jacket pocket and he pulls out a folded piece of paper.
“I was given this little baby…”
Nova holds it up to the camera and the words are hard to see in the poorly lit room.
“Oh you’re wondering what this is… Well let me spell it out for you… T… H… W…”
A smile crosses Nova’s lips.
“I’m not dead and I thought of no place better to give a phone call to than the man who I always was told by Greg Anthony and the rest of the Fusion machine; that was the DEVIL… Ryan Dangerous… Mr. True Honor himself… I called him up and I told him to give me some time and I will be 100% ready to go for his company… He jumped at the opportunity to breathe some life into his roster a bit and bring in a man who knows how to put on an extreme RULEZ type of match… And I promised him that he’ll see more than spikes in his ratings… He’ll see his company kick started all over again…”
Nova tilts his head and smiles at the camera.
“I am Nova-Kaine… And just like a phoenix I have risen from the ASHES of my former life… And I’m coming to True Honor to show everyone just how EXTREME I can be… So THW faithful... I hope you're ready to be pushed to limits you had no idea you even had, because when Nova-Kaine enters a THW ring, I'm not leaving it in the same condition. This is your warning, do with it as you will..."
The camera flickers and cuts out to black.
