Chapter 1
They had done it. When he first started wrestling, he never thought in a million years that he'd be holding championship gold. Sure, it was OVW, the training facility of WWE, but even that was amazing. He first thought taking a career in wrestling was a long shot, but his opinion had changed ever since he was offered a developmental contract by WWE. Now here he was, Joe Abbott, one half of the OVW tag team champions along with his tag team partner and best friend, Rob Perfection.
He had known Rob ever since he was 6 years old. He met him at primary school and they were best friends ever since. They had a lot in common. They both liked rock music, they both loved comedy and horror films, and above all, they both loved wrestling. Ever since they both first watched their first wrestling show, they instantly knew that wrestling is what they wanted to do. They were very impressive in the independent shows. Their first wrestling coach always complimented them and told them that they were going to be big some day. Joe and Rob however just thought he was being nice for the sake of being nice. Now they really started to believe that the thought was at least realistic.
They stood proudly in the middle of the ring with the tag team titles high above their heads. They celebrated for about a minute and a half before finally making their way to the back. They got to the changing room with huge smiles on their faces. They still couldn't believe it. They sat down on a bench and started staring at their newly won gold. Joe was still pretty shocked. He knows how lucky he is to be here, whilst other wrestlers are still wrestling in the indys and can't seem to break through. He continued looking at it, his floppy brown hair covering his blue-green eyes. He was about 6'3 and had a muscular but athletic build. Rob however was 6'5 and was more muscular than anything else. He was really the athletic type. He had long black hair and brown eyes, and was getting ready to get changed until Joe broke the silence. "Can you believe it?"
"What?" Rob asked with his deep, droning voice. "Us winning the OVW tag team titles?"
"Well…yeah"
"Actually, I can. We were told we were going to win, and that's just what we did. We knew before we went out there"
"Maybe for you, but I refuse to believe anything that happens until its been done. You should know how often things are changed in the wrestling world. One day, one person is slated to win, the next day, his opponent is going to win, a few days later, a third person is added and he is slated to win. You can't be too sure.
"I suppose, but I couldn't see that happening to us. I mean, the crowd were expecting us to go over, and it's only OVW.
"I wouldn't say that to anyone else if I was you. An indy wrestler would kill you if you said that"
"Ha, yeah, prob-" Rob was interrupted by a knock on the changing room door. "Come in!" Rob yelled.
The door slowly swung open and in came Jim "JR" Ross. Joe and Rob were astounded. This could only mean good news. JR was head of talent, and a visit to the training facility could only mean good news.
"Err" Joe began but he couldn't seem to get his words out. "Is there any…thing we c-can do f-for you…sir?". JR started to chuckle.
"Relax boys," he said in his strong Oklahoma accent. " Joe, Rob, the WWE talent team are always keeping their eye out on talent here and everywhere. We think that you two boys are very talented. You've proved that with your cool heads and considerable wrestling skill. That's why we are offering you two boys, a contract on one of the WWE main shows, Smackdown!"
The boys' jaws literally dropped. They couldn't believe what they were hearing. This is what they've wanted since they were little kids, play wrestling in Joe's back garden, watching Smackdown!, RAW and ECW. They couldn't utter a word out of their mouths. Finally, Joe responded. "That would be great, awesome, fantastic, brilliant, out of this world, superb, magnificent, marvellous, sup…"
"I agree with everything Joe is saying" interrupted Rob who was looking serious. "However, we just won the OVW tag team titles. We can't just take them to Smackdown! with us".
"Well you won't" responded JR. "Here's what we will do. You will hang on to those tag team titles for a few weeks, get into a small rivalry with another tag team. You will eventually drop the OVW tag team titles and hopefully will be ready to make your WWE debuts at the No Way Out pay per view. Now, I'm not going to give away too much, but we have big plans for you at that event, trust me".
"Done deal!" Joe burst out. He then tried to act casual. "I mean, sure, that sounds like a great idea. We'll go along with that"
"Excellent" replied JR. "Well, I best be leaving. I'll leave you a few calls in the next coming days to update you on everything. See you, fellas". With that, JR slowly walked off and went through the door. Joe and Rob waited a while, taking in all the information, before Joe finally burst with excitement.
"Are you kidding me? WWE television! This is unbelievable! This is…"
"Calm down Joe" Rob interrupted casually. " Don't get too excited just yet. After all, you said it spot on before, things change. We'll just have to wait to see how the next few weeks pan out before we did of joy, eh?"
"Right, right, okay. These next few weeks could be the best few weeks of our lives. Come on, lets get home. We have to tell everyone".
"Fine, okay, but I just hope we don't get their hopes up. I'm just praying that this all doesn't go pear shaped".
Joe and Rob reached for their bags and strolled through the door after what they thought was a pretty amazing night.
