ALONE IN PARADISE/REFLECTIONS OF A CHAMP

A/N: I still own nothing. Vince still owns Jericho, and Yngwie Malmsteen owns the song "Alone in Paradise."



All of my life

Needed a reason

To find out who I am



I always dreamed that it would happen. For every young boy, it's a dream. Every young boy wants to become a wrestler and win the WWF title. The biggest prize in the business. Something you work your whole life for.



I've had my share

Acts of treason

Slipping right through my hands

What am I waiting for…



For some, the dream comes true only if you "make the turn." That's what happened with me. Apparently, I couldn't carry the ball if I were a "good guy." I suddenly told the fans I wasn't doing it for them. I was doing it for ME, dammit! It was all about ME!!



Can it be real

Tell me what does this mean

Alone in my paradise lost



And then it happened. They decided to put the title on me. What would it mean for me? The dream was finally coming true. I had worked my whole life for this moment, and it was finally happening. I got wins over both Stone Cold and the Rock that night. Regardless of interference, it felt damn good to win. But I asked myself, "Can it be real?"



So many years

Is there an answer?

In this castle made of sand



Then, they decided to take it all away from me. All I had worked for was useless now. Apparently, I just wasn't good enough in the eyes of some to hold the title anymore. It was HHH's turn. It was felt he was more marketable, I guess. I guess to get the ultimate prize, you have to have a career-threatening injury.



As time passes by

I'm running out of chances

Who will understand

What I am waiting for



It was taken away all too quickly. I was branded as a transitional champion. I feel I deserve another chance. I need that chance to get my title back. I don't want to sound egotistical, but that belt looks a hell of a lot better around my gorgeous waist.



Sometimes I feel

Like I live in a dream

Alone in my paradise lost



Screw the 'transitional champion' moniker. I'm the only one that can say I was the first Undisputed Champion. And in my mind, I'm still the champ.
