Brief Biography In 1994 Eli Flair wrestled his first paid professional match.
In 2009 Eli Flair wrestled his last paid professional match.
There is way, way, way too much to cover in a 'brief' biography.

(FADEIN on an empty recording studio. The band's equipment is all set up and strewn about: it looks like they either just took a break or are here often enough to feel comfortable leaving everything where it lies.
The lights are mostly off: only a few dim overhead lights illuminate the room, and they are barely doing the job. The camera is fixed on one end, and shadows are playing with all of the dark corners. From the left, a man enters. He walks slowly and deliberately toward the darkened far wall...)
"War is over, if you want it."
"That's what they said, isn't it?"
(He has reached the far wall, and looks to be a large man - tall and physically imposing, but relatively thin and wiry for his size. There is the faint appearance of oily, shoulder - length hair, a sleeveless T-shirt, old, worn pants, and thick boots.)
"Sometimes you need to tour the battlefield."
(With that, he pulled something from the shadows on the wall.)
"I feel dirty for proving Joey Melton right, but five years ago he told me I was pulling off the longest retirement in professional wrestling history."
"And he was right."
"I announced it in 2005 after losing the FWO World Championship to Deacon, to take effect as soon as I was out of the running for the NFW's version of the Ultratitle, two point oh. I officially took it at NFW Wrestlebowl II after a hard fought street fight with the last man to hold the UNIFIED World Championship, Dan Ryan, in the early part of 2007."
"And then I made it last after a three month run in 2009 where I did my best to put the FWO back on the map."
"And I succeeded, completely stealing the show at Cyberslam with Triple X, Sean Stevens."
"So... why here? Why now?"
"Because."
"Because I'm a fifteen time World Champion whose combined days with the big gold belt probably total less than a full calendar year."
"Because I've spent well over two thirds of my career with a secondary title or a Hardcore title around my waist, always third man from the top."
"Because it's because of me that men like Deacon, Triple X, and Troy Windham have reached the pinnacles that they've reached."
"Because it's my job."
"I survived, thrived, and became a legend because I stole the show, every night - and nobody ever noticed because I was the Ninja."
"Nobody ever noticed because I wasn't Hornet, or Mike Randalls, or Joey Melton, or Dan Ryan, or Troy Windham... I wasn't what you'd think about when you said 'Face of a wrestling company.' I was never the top of the heap, but I was the one who made them."
"And I became a legend anyway."
"F'k that."
"A legend is something abstract and unaccountable. A legend never really existed."
(He slapped his hands against his arms.)
"I exist. I'm real."
"I speak for the silent majority."
"Like Otep said, I'm one of the freaks, the faggots, the geeks, the savages. Rogues, rebels, dissident devils, artists, martyrs, infidels."
"Rise, rebel, make a fist, resist."
"Why here? Why now?"
"Because from the moment my career began in 1994 until the moment it ended in 2009, the only thing that I haven't been able to accomplish was winning an Ultratitle."
"Ninja no more."
"I spent fifteen years making the heroes and villains of this sport look better than they ever could've done on their own."
"Now it's my turn."
"Why, after three years of peace, am I going back to war?"
(The lights suddenly turned on, very brightly, to show the back of the man, his body now clad in a very old looking, very road-worn black leather trench coat.)
"Because my armor feels like I just wore it yesterday."
(He turned around and - finally - we're face to face with the King of Extreme, the Original Nobody, 'Total Elimination' Eli Flair. He looks almost the same as he did the last time he was in a wrestling ring; there's a bit more gray in his jet black hair but the intensity in his eyes still burns.)
"Because I AM."
"And there's nothing that any of the other sixty three entrants will be able to do about it."
(He walked back the way he came, out of camera view. Fade to static.)
