In Unexpected Places
Prologue
July/August 2001
He gazed around the Alliance lockerroom and wondered why he bothered doing so. It was just the same old sluts and jackasses he saw every time at every show. Of course he knew he was a jackass, never had any illusions about being anything remotely resembling a good guy or any of that knight in shining armor crap. He was just another asshole like the rest of the Alliance.
The man looked over across the lockerroom where Alliance Owners Shane McMahon and Paul Heyman talked with Hunter Hearst Helmsley and World Wrestling Federation Champion Stone Cold Steve Austin. Helmsley defected the night the Alliance was born and Austin switched sides with the WWF title at the InVasion PPV shortly thereafter. The look on Vince McMahon's spoiled brat Stephanie's face when she learned that Helmsley used her trust fund to help Paul Heyman revive the ECW part of the Alliance was truly priceless.
"Hey, you ready?" another man came up to him, his tag partner for the night.
"Yeah, let me finish lacing them up," the man who had been sitting and looking at everybody and everything said, going back to getting ready for his match. Though the man sitting and his tag partner never really interacted much in WCW before Shane McMahon bought it, they'd wrestled against each other in other places, so they at least knew each other, unlike many of the alliance members who were now being mashed together in one faction with little or no knowledge of one another. They figured Shane would probably give some of the WWF defectors shots at Alliance belts that they held soon, so the two figured it made sense to stick together and watch each other's backs if need be. The fact that both were Canadian didn't hurt.
Finishing up his boots, WCW World Champion Chris Jericho followed his tag partner U.S Champion Chris Benoit out of the lockerroom.
Yep, I kept The Chrises in WCW to the bitter end in this one. More to come from this soon.
Note: Sorry Dana, that's the way the belt order came down in the poll. I'll make it up to you later.
