Life Of A Superstar 3: SmackDown Vs. RAW 2, Pt. 3

Chapter 1: A New Leaf

Starting his new journey on SmackDown, World Heavyweight Champion Chris Jones met up with Hardcore Holly in a match. This isn't the first time he's been on SmackDown, as he came there to investigate the accident that put Theodore Long out of commission. This time, he's SmackDown's champion. After the match, JBL approached him backstage.

"Hey, champ. I've been meaning to tell you how happy I am that we've got an upstanding man such as yourself as our World Heavyweight Champion. I tell you what, SmackDown, hasn't had such a noble champion and bright future since... well..."

"Let me guess: Since you were the champ?"

"I don't like to talk about myself. Besides, this is your time now. I tell you what, if there's anything you need, anything at all, you just come to your buddy, JBl. You hear me?"

"Well, there is actually something. I found out from Teddy Long that i have a tag team match against Hardcore Holly and Ken Kennedy next week, and..."

"And you need a partner? Say no more, champ! JBL's got your back. See you next week."

Chris was kind of surprised of JBL's change of attitude, but he remembered fighting him for Torrie's contract. Now he turns a new leaf? Chris began feeling suspicious, but he needed a tag partner so he'll make do for now.

Voicemail from JBL

"Hey, champ, it's me, JBL, John Bradshaw Layfield. I just wanted to tell you that I can't wait for our Tag match against Holly and Mr. Kennedy. And don't worry, pal, I won't let anything happen to our World Heavyweight champion, and you can take that to the bank."

Chris and JBL battled Holly and Mr. Kennedy. Personally, although JBL is a skilled competitor, Chris is still wary of any signs of deception. For instance, he ascertained that JBL could be targeting him for his title. Whatever the case, they took care of business. Afterward, Mr. Kennedy tried to ambush Chris but JBL stopped him with a Clothesline From Hell, much to Chris' surprise.

Voicemail from JBL

"Hey, champ. Looks like Teddy Long put me on the shelf for a week after the little incident that happened after our match last week. Can't say as I blame him. I guess I might've shown a little irrational exuberance out there. It must've been the crowd that got me all fired up. Did you hear them cheering for us last week? We were like a couple of Wrestling Gods! Anyway, I can't wait to work together again soon. Good luck out there tonight."

Chris fought Kennedy. Apparently, Kennedy was still fuming over his loss last week, and he suffered yet another loss when Chris defeats him. However, after the match, Kennedy ambushed Chris and threw him in the corner, grabbing him in a Samoan Drop clutch, climbing on top of the turnbuckle and there's the Green bay Plunge. JBL comes in, despite being shelved, and clotheslines Kennedy again. JBL saw the World Heavyweight title but instead he picked up the mic.

"You ok, champ? Listen, No Mercy is a week from Sunday, and you don't have a challenger yet. So I was thinking..."

Chris suddenly remembered that No Mercy was coming up, and he was never assigned a challenger. Although this change of attitude was considerable, he reluctantly accepted, knowing damn well he was being targeted for the title. But he figured he could defeat him and get him out of the way.

Voicemail from Long

"Hey, champ. It's Theodore Long. The contracts are set for your title match against JBL this Sunday at No Mercy. Frankly, I'm a little surprised about JBL's behavior recently, especially since the championship is on the line, but I'm not gonna tell you how to handle your business. I got plenty of my own to take care of, including the promotion of the Pay-Per-View. Speaking of that, Jillian Hall and Melina have a match at No Mercy too, so I'm making this a mixed tag tonight, with you and Melina taking on JBL and Jillian. That's our main event, so don't let me down, playa."

Text from JBL

"Hey, champ. I just heard about our mixed tag tonight with Melina and Jillian. Now you know I'm not gonna go easy on you, but I am looking forward to some good old fashioned fun and competition tonight, not to mention a nice view of our partners. :). See you out there, champ."

Voicemail from Michelle

"Hey, Chris. This is Michelle McCool. Melina told me about you. You and her are partnering tonight against JBL and Jillian. Can I be honest with you? Be careful with JBL. I know him all too well. I saw what happened last year when he owned Torrie Wilson's contract, and you won it back for her at Vengeance. Now, this new leaf he "turned," I'm not buying it at all. Whenever we have a new champion, he would "befriend" him so he can plot and scheme to go for the title, starting his reign again and if anyone ever challenged him for the title, he would make deals with someone to stop the challenger. That's his way of retaining the title instead of doing it the old-fashioned way. Anyway, I wish you luck and I'm hoping we can meet soon."

Chris saw pictures of Michelle McCool on the beach. Instantly, he was intrigued. He assumed she is a new WWE Diva (even though she wasn't available on WWE SmackDown Vs. RAW 2007). Regardless, he felt excited to meet her, but business first. He and Melina met met backstage.

"Chris Jones, right?"

"You must be Melina."

"Did you receive a voicemail from Michelle?"

"Yea."

"You really must meet her. She was looking forward to seeing you, but after our match."

"Of course."

Chris and Melina competed against JBL and Jillian. It was an nice match with good competition. Afterward in the parking lot...

"Mr. Jones."

Chris looked at the woman. it was indeed Michelle McCool.

"Michelle. Pleased to meet you."

Michelle was wearing a brown sleeveless top and jeans. He studied her body. Good God Almighty, she is fit to the T.

"I know you have a title match this Sunday, and I'm hoping we can get together after your match."

"Sounds great."

"Here's my number. Give me a call."

"You got it."

No Mercy

Chris fought JBL for the World Heavyweight title. He was motivated to see Michelle again. JBL is a powerhouse, but Chris had several run-ins with those types of competitors. Chris spent a good 5 minutes and finally retained his title. He met up with Michelle again.

"Hey, champ!"

"Michelle."

"Congratulations."

"It wasn't easy, then again, no title match is easy."

"We have a limo waiting for us. I know a real nice restaurant nearby."

"Sweet."

Chris and Michelle went to the restaurant to eat. he became fascinated with Michelle when she told him of her previous job as a middle school teacher. Lucky children.

SmackDown

Chris was in the locker room putting his gear on, his black tank top, black track pants and headband when two men wearing heavy coats and sunglasses approach him.

"Mercury, check it out! It's the World Heavyweight Champion, Chris Jones!" said John Randall Harrigan, better known as Johnny Nitro and later John Morrison.

"Oh man," said Adam Birch AKA Joey Mercury. "I'm so impressed. Dude, can I kiss up to you and get a title match, just like JBL did?"

"Seriously. How can you be so thick? You got to know that JBL's been sucking up to you to get that World Heavyweight title, right?"

"Look, that's none of your business," Chris countered. "He's had plenty of chances to stab me in the back, but he hasn't, at least not yet."

"That means he's saving it," Mercury replied. "You're like the only guy in the locker room who doesn't realize JBL's setting you up."

"Oh really?" JBL came up behind both men. "You calling me a liar? Is that what you're saying, you fruity booty movie star wannabe?"

"WHOA!" Chris tried to contain the situation.

"You want to run mouth, boy, you do it to my face, you hear me? And so help me, I will beat some respect into you and your big bad boyfriend in that ring tonight."

Chris and JBL teamed up again against Nitro and Mercury, with Melina at their corner. After that encounter in the locker room, they showed they were no pushovers, but even with that attitude, Chris and JBL defeated them.

Voicemail from JBL

"Hey, champ. Listen, I got a match tonight against that punk Joey Mercury tonight, so I won't be at the ring when you take on Nitro, but I'm sure you won't have any trouble with him. Man, it just burns me up, the things that those Hollywood B-listers were saying last week. Anyway, I had one other thing to say: Survivor Series is coming up, and I was wondering if you'd be up to give me a rematch for the title. I can't think of a bigger main event for a cross-brand Pay-Per-View like this. Thanks, and give Nitro a few bumps from me."

Text from Long

"Ok, I've set up a match for you and Nitro tonight and JBL has one with Mercury. Try not to rough them up too much, as I have plans for them at Survivor Series. Speaking of that. JBL just floated the idea of the two of you in a rematch for the World Heavyweight Championship. I gotta say, the match you two had at No Mercy was great, and I'd be up for the rematch at Survivor Series, but you're the champion and you shouldn't have to face off against the same challenger at two consecutive Pay-Per-Views unless you want to. I'll leave that up to you. Let me know as soon as you can."

Chris calls T. Lo

Long: What up, playa?

Chris: T. Lo, I'm calling for a new challenger.

Long: Oh?

Chris: Truth is I don't trust JBL. You remember that time I fought him?

Long: Torrie Wilson's contract.

Chris: Yes. This new leaf he turned, I had my suspicions.

Long: So did I, playa. Good luck in your match and I'll look for a challenger.

Chris: Thanks.

Long: Holla, holla, holla!

Chris fought Nitro and took it as easy as he could for T. Lo's sake. But after the match, JBL, true to form ambushes Chris.

"Hey there, pal. You ok? Well I feel like I'm done kissing your ass! I've been doing it for tow months and I'm sick of it! Now, I'm going home from Survivor Series with the World Heavyweight Championship around my waist, and there's not a thing on GOD'S GREEN EARTH that you can do about it!"

The following week, JBL makes an announcement...

"I never thought Chris Jones would fall for my Mr. Nice Guy routine that long. Well, apparently his malignant case of wall-to-wall dumb ass is as bad as all of you idiots in the cheap seats. Every time an arena is full of you morons would cheer for 'The New JBL,' it was just pathetic! You know, I'm not surprised that Jones didn't give me my rematch, because he knows I'd take that title from him like candy from a baby!"

Chris came out.

"Baby?" You're the one crying and whining like a little bitch! You know, you may have these fans fooled with your so-called leaf turn, but I know better. Last year at Vengeance, I took you out to win Torrie Wilson's contract. You think I forgot what a selfish piece of shit you are? JBL, you're about as dumb as a monkey smoking cigarettes!. You think I would befriend a punkass like you, just so you can get to this title and start your ridiculous reign on SmackDown? I don't think so! I only teamed up with you so I can scan you and see if you actually did turn a new leaf, and according to my calculations, yep, still a piece of shit! Using friendship as a excuse, for this title? You had your shot at No Mercy, and you lost! There's an old saying that comes to mind: Be careful what you wish for, because you just might get your ass handed to you in your ridiculous 10-gallon hat. Case in point, I changed my mind. This Sunday at Survivor Series, it's you and me for the World Heavyweight Title... in a Last Man Standing match. And tonight, I WANT YOU IN A CAGE MATCH!"

Teddy Long got word and set the match up. Chris was so fired up and ready to tear JBL apart, but that energy needed to wait for Sunday. Chris used the cage to punish JBL as long as he could. This new leaf turn had failed. Chris actually knew JBL all too well to let him be suckered. Chris climbed out the cage, saving the rest of his rage for Sunday.

Survivor Series

Voicemail from Michelle

"Hey, Chris. It's Michelle. Man, you really got JBL boxed in the corner, and now you have him in a Last Man Standing match for the World Heavyweight title. You and I both know he had it coming, so I want you to finish him. Afterward, I want you to come see me. I have a hotel booked just for us. Just win for me tonight."

Chris made every use of his rage against JBL. It also helped that Michelle McCool has plans for him. Every ounce of that rage made Chris more stronger than before. JBL wanted the title, but Chris denied him and destroyed him. The referee slowly counted to 10. During the count, Michelle came out in her short blue evening dress. The referee reached 10 and that was all she wrote. Chris defeated JBL twice in two consecutive Pay-Per-Views. Hopefully, he won't have to face JBL again in the future. Michelle came to the ring and kisses Chris.

"Let's celebrate at my motel."

Chris and Michelle left the arena. His mission accomplished, he can finally celebrate with his new lady.
