“Money” by Pink Floyd rings out and the fans boo as the man who is leading Carnage into a golden age, Christopher St. James, better known as C$J makes his appearance known. His dazzling white suit shines in the spotlights as he does a little spin, ending the flair by pulling his trademark, designer sunglasses down his nose and winking at the camera. The brilliant smile that everyone has come to hate is plastered on The Boss’ face as he climbs the steps and gets into the ring, spinning one last time before being handed a mic from a nearby ring attendant.
C$J: I know. You all hate me. Dully noted for future reference. But for every unwarranted attack against me, I'll throw one right back at you. To demonstrate, I came out here, after the cameras stopped rolling, save for the one crew member on my payroll. All of you suckers at home or that have left already? You can wait until the internet gets ahold of this footage and airs it all for you to see.
He trails off thoughtfully, pacing the ring, and twirling the mic before continuing.
C$J: Fighters. Roster members. Superstars. Call them what you will, but do you know what they remind me of? Do you know what this all feels like, standing in the middle of this ring, surrounded by screaming fans, thirsty for more carnage. More chaos. More mayhem, more blood, more violence.
His hand clenches into a fist in front of him as he says the last word, letting it drip with the feeling everyone has deep down. The thirst to watch people beat the shit out of each other if only to have their name shouted from on high even more.
C$J: This is the coliseum, and we are your humble gladiators. Consider me… Your king.
Of course the crowd boos, but C$J doesn’t seem to care. In fact, he seems to be expecting it, soaking it all in.
C$J: Hate it all you want, but you can’t deny the fact that if you want to sate that hunger for violence, you have to inflate my ego just that much more. It’s ok! I won’t turn a blind eye to you! I won’t follow in the path of my predecessors and completely ignore the will of YOU Carnage Legion. You want blood? You want KEN DAVISON’S blood?!
The crowd pops for the first time since the boss came out. Go figure.
C$J: I refuse to call that man a god when he is in the presence of a TITAN among men. Carnage’s biggest show in its history, the centennial episode, Chaos 100 is coming up in just a few short weeks, and after careful consideration…
C$J clears his throat and adjusts his collar uncomfortably.
C$J: I’ve decided to grant Jack Michaels his request for a match against the World Champion, Mr. Davison. I’ve decided to make it more special. The Legion demands violence. They want blood. They want CARNAGE. Chaos 100 deserves something a bit more special than just any other World Championship match. So with all of this in mind… I’ve decided to strip this WHC of any and all rules. The feud between these two has gotten personal, so this match will be no different. It’s going to be ruthless, decision can count anywhere, anything goes. The single, solitary, ONLY way to win is to force the person in the opponent’s corner to wave the not so proverbial white flag.
The fans pop. The idea of Ken Davison lying in the middle of the ring at the feet of Jack Michaels was almost too much for people to contain. C$J smirks, once again twirling the mic in his hand triumphantly. He goes to leave as “Money” once again plays, but stops and raises a finger to indicate he isn’t done yet. Once again taking center ring, the music fades as the crowd silences.
C$J: Almost forgot to mention who will be in charge of those white flags… You see, growing up, I WATCHED this business and I HATED those moments where people would wait until the very last moment to reveal. That’s not how I operate and in the interest of transparency…
He falls silent, letting the tension build even though everyone already knew…
C$J: In the corner of challenger Jack Michaels will be former World Champion Amber Ryan!
The fans of course cheer. But quickly begin booing. The Legion knew what was coming...
C$J: In the corner of the defending champion, Ken Davison, will be Carnage Ultraviolent champion, Kyra Johnson!
The fans boo as “Money” once again plays for C$J as he tosses the mic to the side and storms back the way he came.
C$J: I know. You all hate me. Dully noted for future reference. But for every unwarranted attack against me, I'll throw one right back at you.
