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.
