"Your up in ten minutes Trish!" Pat Patterson called. I was just getting the finishing touches on my makeup. Tonight is going to be super. Vince is putting me with Hunter for a storyline. We touched on the possibility of this before, but it always fell through. Working with Hunter is fantastic. You can just be watching him and learn a few things from him within minutes. When I first got here, he showed me alot. Worked with me on my promos and told me if anything I did was good or not. I appreciated his advice alot and it actually helped me to where I am today. He couldn't be more of a nicer guy.
"How does it look Jan?" I questioned my hairstyle. Jan has been doing a new style with it latley, I really dig it. Makes me come across softer.
"As always, stunning. Your hair is always so manageable, break a leg Trish."
"Thanks Jan." I got up from the chair and walked over to the Gorilla position. Hunter was already there. I walked over next to him and he smiled.
"Hey, are you ready?"
"Couldn't be more ready. I really want to thank you Hunter."
"Thank me for what?"
"For giving me this oppurtunity working with you. It's just so exciting!"
"Well, Vince put it all together, so thank him." He smiled. "Besides anything is exciting with me." He grinned while chewing his gum.
"Hey baby." Stephanie said walking up to Hunter. "I'll be in Dad's office incase your looking for me when your done with your promo." She fixed his collar on his jean jacket, rubbing her hands down his chest.
"Ok, I'll see you later then. After the promo I was going to talk to Trish for a while about the storyline."
It was then we she noticed I was standing there. I tried to move away some, giving them their privacy.
"Oh hey Trish, I adore that top your wearing. We need to go shopping together someday. I think we'd have alot of fun."
"Sure Steph. I think that be nice. Thanks for the compliment."
She smiled at me. God sometimes she could be so obnoxious. Hunter leaned down and kissed her goodbye. I can hear the commerical on TNN playing over the sound system. Hunter was up next. I felt the butterflies hanging in my stomach already. I've been doing this for two-years and never was this anxious. I wondered why know? Probably because I am working a program with the best in the business. That would tend to having some nerves explode.
"Ok Trish, I'm going. You remember when to come out right?"
"Of course Hunter, when you call for me." I laughed.
Hunter's music blasted and he grabbed his water bottle of the table and walked through the curtain. The people in the arena were cheering for him so loud. It was amazing how much they respected him. Alot of people in this business wish they can have so much respect like Hunter does. They just don't want to work for it. The crowd died down some, Hunter was about to speak.
"Ya know, last week on Smackdown Chris Jericho got the services of my soon to be ex wife. Stephanie thats fine, you go be with "larger then life" icon. You go be with the "Undispuuuuted Champion" hell you go be with the entire men's locker room. Fact of the matter is come Wrestlemania your little plan's with Jericho might seem like a grand idea but Stephanie I got my own little agenda for Wrestlemania. Oh, yeah I figured your going to try to screw me again like you did at No Way Out, but this time around Steph, I got some of my own screwing power! Someone that makes your blood boil, someone you can't stand, someone you would love to see out of the World Wrestling Federation, see Stephanie I got the one person who you sais I screwed -- Trish Stratus!"
My music hit and I took a deep breath walking through the curtain. The fans were going nuts and I kept my eyes focused on Hunter in the ring, showing off a wicked smile. I walked up the stairs and Hunter bent the ring ropes down for me to enter. I stood in the middle with my arms up, taking in the moment. Hunter handed me the microphone so I can speak. The butterflies went away, it felt natural to be in the ring with him.
"Stephanie McMahon, the little bitch who lied about a baby, the little bitch who tried screwing Hunter at No Way Out. See I've been watching your actions latley, and I got to tell you, they're really sagging. How low can one go? Oh I forgot with you, your always down low. I took the liberty of offering my services to Hunter after I seen the plans you have with Chris Jericho. My god what was he thinking joining forces with you? This is the same man who proclaimed you as a "No good, bottom feeding trash bag ho!" I looked over to Hunter. "Is that how it went Hunter?" I'm not going to let you ruin Hunter's chances at the Undisputed titles at Wrestlemania. So when you walk the walk down that ramp with Chris, I'll be right behind stratusfying my way to the ring with Hunter. And if you dare try one thing to cost him the match? Well, Steph - you'll be taking a ride to the Stratusphere."
I handed the mic over to Hunter. My hands were shaking real bad, but I didn't feel nervous anymore. The shock wore off and I did my job. I think the fans loved it. They were cheering loudly. Hunter was about to speak again.
"Chris Jericho......Stephanie - at Wrestlemania it will be time to play the GAME!"
He threw the mic down and motioned for me to come on. He opened the ropes for me and let me out first. He stood on the ring apron, doing his incredible pose. I watched on, waiting for him to come down. When he did we walked up the ramp together to a tremendous reaction. God what a rush that was. If only it can be that way every night.
"Hunter - Trish, beautiful mic work fantastic. It came across great on the screen and the fans loved it. Keep it up, this could wind up a great story."
"Thanks Pat, we appreciate it." Hunter thanked him for both of us.
"So what did you think?" I asked him while getting some water. "Was I any good in your opinion? You know I value it."
"Trish it was excellent, the fans digged it. I'll watch the tape later when I get to the hotel and see if their is anything we could of changed. But from me listening to you talk and the expressions you made while talking, it came off great. You did a good job Stratus."
"Thanks Hunter. I guess I shall be going. Talk to you tommorrow." I turned around and started walking, when I heard him yell my name and walk up to me. "Before you head out, go on over to the TV truck and ask one of the guys to give you a copy of the tape. Watch yourself and study the promo. That's what I do. It shows my strength and weakness's. I'm sure it will help you too. See ya later."
"Thanks, see ya later."
I continued my way to the girl's locker room to change into something more comfortable. Debra, Amy, & Jackie were in there. "You looked great out there Trish." Amy said. "Yeah, you and Hunter will kick some serious balls." Jackie added in.
"Thanks girls, god was I nervous when I first went out. But then I got so comfortable in the ring with Hunter. It was like a dream or something. I'm definetly excited with this and am going to keep the ball rolling."
"You go girl, we'll see you tommorrow Trish. Bye Deb." Jackie and Amy left. I sat down across from Debra who was reading a magazine.
"Hey Deb. Waiting on Steve?" I asked.
"Of course." she laughed. "See what he is doing to the nWo out there?" she laughed. "Hey you looked great out there, good job. I wanted to let you in on something I heard from Steve. Promise you won't tell anyone I said something."
"Of course, I'd never. What's up?"
"Well, Steve was in one of the meeting today with Vince, Stephanie, and the writers. He overheard Stephanie expressing her negative feelings about you and Hunter working together. She doesn't want it going on at all. Vince told her he didn't care and the storyline will continue though. I think she is jealous that your working with him."
"Jealous? She has no reason to be. We are doing our job's. Just because she is going out with him means nothing. Personal and work should be kept secret. And Hunter adores her for some strange reason." I laughed. "No wonder why Joanie left, poor girl. It was ok for 'Stephie' to write herself into steamy scenes with Hunter when he was with Joanie, but it isn't ok for Hunter to be involved with anyone on TV but her? Pathetic. I knew there were reasons for me disliking her."
"Well, let's just keep it on the low between you and me ok? We don't need her ripping us to shreds and crying to daddy."
"You got it Deb. Thanks for the info, I'll keep it in mind next time I'm standing next to her sweaty man. I'll see you tommorrow, I'm outie."
"Night."
I picked up my bag and left the arena. I stopped at the TV truck first to ask Kevin for a copy of the match. I did want to study it like Hunter suggested. I got in my rental car and drove to the hotel we were staying at, I couldn't wait to get a hot bubble bath and to get some sleep. Hopefully Smackdown tommorrow will be great. Working with Hunter is always great though.
"How does it look Jan?" I questioned my hairstyle. Jan has been doing a new style with it latley, I really dig it. Makes me come across softer.
