Another Star?

Hey folks. Just figured I'd pop in real quick and fill you in on a conversation I had with Doug Bean, of all people, just after posting this past edition of "Indulging Synn." Anyway, here's what happened...

Backstage in Sacramento, Xavier Synn walks to the employee message board and pins up a note mentioning that there's a new "Indulging Synn" out, recapping Superbrawl II as well as all the backstage news and a preview of this week's Warzone. As he stands back to look at all the other notes on the board, Doug Bean approaches.

Doug Bean walks over to Xavier Synn and, more importantly, the noticeboard.

Doug Bean: Excuse me, squire. I have a VERY important notice to pin up.

Xavier takes a step back, holding out his arm to allow the Bean Brother by, alliteration aside, of course.

Xavier Synn
By all means, Doug. Anything interesting?


He feels like he has to ask. Truth be told, he's downright curious... Doug Bean holds his head up high, almost pompous, and turns it slightly towards Xavier Synn.

Doug Bean: Let me flip the script for a second. Let me ask YOU a question.

Doug clears his throat as he prepares to get serious.

Doug Bean: Are you clear on the card for next weeks 'Saturday Night Anarchy'?

Xavier shrugs, tilting his head.

Xavier Synn
I've glanced over it... is there something in particular that you're getting at?

Doug expresses fake shock.

Doug Bean: ....you've 'glanced' over it. Well, i'll have you know that The Arnold Classic is involved in his debut match! You should be excited! I know I am! What a seriously tasty prospect he is!

Doug smirks thinking that he's avoided Xavier's original enquiry. Xavier cocks an eyebrow.

Xavier Synn
The Arnold Classic? Seriously? It's about time that he's signed for match, in my opinion. The man's done little more than dance around the arenas across the country and get led out by security. But hey, your friends with the Arnold... he got anything special planned for his debut?


He's genuinely interested, as he can't quite visualize the Arnold Classic actually competing in a match. Doug Bean looks somewhat pleased.

Doug Bean: The Classic likes to dance I suppose. Just like we do. It doesnt always have to be serious! You can have abit of hoistly action in the backstage area! Look, he's just gonna go out and wrestle I suppose! The Arnold Classic? Did you see that guy take out the security the other week!? That was, until they outnumbered him.

Doug then looks unhappy for a split second. Then he looks at the paper instantly bringing a smile to his face. He waves it in front of Xavier. Xavier holds up his hands, fending off the Doug Bean.

Xavier Synn
OK, OK... what's on the note?


He straightens out his shirt as he takes a step back, a little frazzled by the man's actions...
Doug stops and nods his head.

Doug Bean: I cant believe it! I'm so happy that he's seen sense! Just, well, look...............

Doug Bean takes a drawing pin from out of his pocket and pins the note on the wall.

(It's a note announcing the arrival of "King CHAVO" to the XHW)

Xavier looks up at the poster, mouth agape. Chavo Guerrero in the XHW? This had to be another Sheglin prank... The senior backstage interviewer just shakes his head.

Xavier Synn
You've got to be kidding... "King" Chavo? Is this serious?


He looks over at Doug, who's still grinning rather proudly at his handiwork. Doug Bean looks at Xavier Synn with a grin on his face!

Doug Bean: I'm Doug Bean. I ONLY do serious! Besides, I thought you'd be pleased! What a great SCOOP for you, no!?

Xavier shrugs as he strokes his chin, looking at the note.

Xavier Synn
I mean, it's a decent signing. We get a handful of big name, established superstars every year, and I guess this is no different... But wait, what do you have to do with this?


He turns to Doug, a confused look on his face. Doug puts his hands upon his hips.

Doug Bean: King CHAVO is a friend of ours. You could say that we're like family! We go way back to our days in an old company. He helped train us! We battled side by side. Sadly the company went bankrupt and we wents our seperate ways. He joined WCW and we toured the country. But now.........

Doug raises his eyebrows. Suggesting the fact that King CHAVO is officially signed. Xavier leans back against the wall.

Xavier Synn
So are we looking at a new member to the Sheglins family? You've already got you and your brother, Dr. James... excuse me, DR. JAMES ANDREWS, and the Arnold Classic...

Doug looks disgusted.

Doug Bean: Woah, woah, woah! Hang on there. The Sheglins family? KING CHAVO!? No, no, no. We have too much respect for that. We couldnt allow royalty to become a part of our family. We are not worthy of King CHAVO's greatness! Tell me, have you ever met royalty, Synn?

Doug tilts his head. Xavier shrugs.

Xavier Synn
I guess that depends on your definition of "royalty," Mr. Bean...


He inwardly laughs.

Xavier Synn
But we've seen you and Chavo together quite often outside of your competing here. Why not welcome him in?

Doug shakes his head.

Doug Bean: King CHAVO someone that we respect and look up to. We simply are not worthy his greatness. He will serve and protect under his almighty ruling. All of us. What is ours is his. What he chooses to give us, we will gladly accept.

Xavier raises an eyebrow as he senses that he's getting somewhere with this, as incredulous as that seems...

Xavier Synn
So what you're basically saying is that, when Chavo arrives, he's going to be your leader? Is that right?

Doug almost looks shocked that Xavier would even think otherwise.

Doug Bean: You don't boss royalty around! We have King CHAVO's back. If CHAViTO want's us, he'll call for us.

Xavier just shakes his head. It's hard enough to figure out all the antics of the Sheglins in themselves, but it's almost harder to figure out when they're being serious.

Xavier Synn
Well then I guess we'll all be looking forward to it then. With the arrival of Chavo and the debut of the Arnold Classic, you boys are going to have one busy weekend...

Doug Bean huffs. Once again having been overlooked.

Doug Bean: Not to forget The Sheglins! We're in action too! ......but we dont want to take the spotlight away from CHAViTO and The Arnold Classic. SUCH BEASTS!!

Doug Bean wipes his goosey-brow.

Doug Bean: It's been....interesting meeting with a fellow humanoid. I'll personally send your best wishes to the King upon his arrival.

Xavier nods slowly, not sure what to say.

Xavier Synn
I guess I'd... appreciate that? Good luck next weekend.

Doug Bean frowns, then smiles, then frowns, rapidly for 3 seconds.

Doug Bean: You will not only appreciate it......you will ENJOY it! Anyway, thanking you, Mr. Synn! I shall do my best next week. BEEF 666!!!

Doug Bean adjusts his bra strap, turns and sprints down the corridor leaving Xavier bewildered. Xavier just watches Doug leave before shaking his head one last time, muttering to himself.

Xavier Synn
What the hell is this place coming to...

Anyway, there you have it. It appears that yet another star is defecting to the XHW, in the wake of both Awesome Kong and Taz arriving over Superbrawl II weekend, it appears that now Chavo Guerrero, or, as he's being hailed, "King CHAVO," will be coming to the XHW very soon. That's all I've got! Check back for more news soon!
