Southern Comfort
Chapter 1 : Second Generation
March 8 , 2016 - Leipers Fork , TN , Home of Cowboy James Storm
" Alright , Grace , lets try that move again . " Makayla Storm said to her tag team partner and best friend Grace Harris .
" No problem , we have to be ready for our first tag match as the newly employeed TNA Wrestlers . " Grace agreed with Makayla .
Makayla Storm and Grace Harris are the children of Cowboy James Storm and Wildcat Chris Harris also known as America ' s Most Wanted , when the two girls had turned eighteen they both went to their fathers and told them they wanted to start their careers in the family business . At first both James and Chris were concerned about placing their girls in the dangerous atmosphere they knew very well as professional wrestling , but when both guys realized that Makayla and Grace were serious , instead of letting complete strangers train their daughters , AMW decided they would train the girls themselves .
Grace and Makayla had both made it through the training with no problems and worked their butts off on the Indies where Makayla was known as the Tennessee Outlaw , Makayla Storm and Grace became the American Kid to the fans . Eventually the girls followed even more in their fathers ' footsteps by becoming a tag team known as Southern Comfort , which became a fan favorite on the Indies circuit gaining great success and were the talk of the wrestling world . The girls had several tag team championships on their resumes throughout the Indies even some very well known championship like the AAA and ROH Tag Team Championships . Impact Wrestling eventually took notice and sent scouts out which led to them being hired as the newest tag team in TNA , which is why both girls were in the ring training with Sanada and TJ Perkins or Manik at the moment .
" You girls will definitely be ready for the live show Friday . " TJ said .
" Thanks TJ . " Makayla smiled at TJ making both Sanada and Grace chuckle . Makayla and TJ were also a couple , at first to the dismay of the Cowboy . But , eventually Storm gave into the idea after he had realized how much Makayla loved TJ and how much TJ loved and protected Makayla from harm .
" So , what are you girls calling this new move ? " Sanada asked , Low Ki had taught Sanada how to speak English while the Revolution was still together as a heel faction .
The Revolution had turned face in January due to a situation in Impact Wrestling with the bigwigs in the company . Dixie Carter had come back with a vengence after her back healed from her going through the table at the hands of Bully Ray . She had pulled together a new Dixieland and was trying to steamroll through Impact Wrestling messing with the original family of TNA and changing things that she should have never tried to put her hands in . So , Storm being one of the originals needed to be on the right side to defend the company he had been apart of since day one and his Revolution stable mates were more than happy to follow him , not liking what Dixie was doing with Impact Wrestling . Jeff Jarrett soon showed up to the joy of the TNA Originals and declared that he wanted TNA back fully in his possession before Dixie could run the company he founded into the ground . Half of the executives were with Jarrett and the other half were with Dixie giving them both the authority to hire wrestlers , Jeff Jarrett was the one who actually hired Grace and Makayla to TNA .
" Intoxication , " The girls both said .
Intoxication was the new finishing move Makayla and Grace were practicing before they wrestled their first match in TNA . Makayla would hold their opponent on her shoulders much like a piggy back ride , then Grace would Spear the opponent off of Makayla ' s shoulders down to the waiting ring mat . Southern Comfort tried the move one last time and nailed it perfectly .
" This should definitely give us the edge Friday . " Grace said as Sanada helped her up from the mat .
" I agree . " Makayla said .
" So , anyone up for getting clean and then grabbing a bite to eat ? " TJ asked standing up after getting nailed by the Spear from Grace .
" Sounds like a plan . " Grace said .
Soon , all four of them were cleaned and ready to go out to lunch .
" So , I take it our dads are still with Jarrett in the private meeting with the TNA Originals and Extended Family ? " Makayla asked .
" Yes , they are , I hope this situation gets settled sooner than later . " Grace rolled her eyes at the thought of the Dixieland situation in TNA .
" Dixie Carter has made a real mess of TNA which means this is very important to AMW being the first major tag team in TNA history . " Sanada said .
" And we will back Storm and the rest of the family up before things get worse because of Dixie . " TJ said .
" Dad said for us to wait on them to get back and then we would go out to lunch . " Grace looked at her friends just as AMW walked into the Cowboy ' s home with AJ , Roode , Gail , Jessie , and Bad Influence .
Southern Comfort , Sanada , and TJ looked at them wondering if it was a good idea to ask how the meeting went or if they were allowed to know yet .
" What are you four getting into ? " James asked looking at them .
" Just wondering what happened in the meeting with Jarrett ? " Sanada asked .
" Jarrett said he would let everyone else in the family know before Impact starts Friday night so arrive early at the arena . " Jessie said .
" Sure thing , " TJ looked at the girls who were looking at each other communicating in a way only tag team partners could by eye contact .
" Like I said earlier , I hope this is resolved sooner than later . " Grace said worried , but only showing it to Makayla .
Makayla looked at her dad wondering if all of their jobs could be at stake if Dixie won the war .
" Everything will workout for the best Grace . " Chris said to his daughter .
" I hope the best doesn ' t mean that if Dixie wins this war that we will lose our jobs in the process . " Makayla looked at Chris .
" It won ' t happen , cause Dixie isn ' t winning or getting anything . " James said .
" Khoya said he would meet us at the restaurant later , James . " TJ thinking it was best to change the subject before it got out of hand .
" Abyss had other plans . " Roode said .
" Then lets go eat . " AJ said .
" We ' re starving . " Daniels and Kazarian both said .
Soon , they were in the cars on the way to the restaurant .
" So , how was training ? " James asked the girls .
" Went great , TJ and Sanada were a lot of help to us . " Grace said .
" We got a lot done , daddy , so , Friday shouldn ' t be a problem . " Makayla added .
" She hits harder than you do . " TJ said .
" I taught her too , TJ . " James said .
" TJ makes a good tackling dummy as well . " Grace looked at Perkins as Sanada started laughing .
" Really ? " TJ asked turning to Grace .
" Its a very noble job , TJ , taking a Spear from me . " Grace said getting more laughs from Sanada .
" Its not that funny Sanada . " TJ said .
" Alright , cool it kids . " Chris said .
" Relax TJ , Grace is just messing around with you . " Makayla kissing him .
Grace started gagging when she saw the two kiss each other .
" And now we are messing with Grace . " Makayla said .
" Could you do that without the rest of us in the car ? " Roode asked .
" Get a room , " Bad Influence both said .
" Don ' t make me stop this car . " James joked .
" All you need is love . " Sanada said .
" You really want James to kill TJ don ' t you Sanada ? " AJ asked .
" All you need is love . " Sanada said again .
" Yep , all of you are children . " Gail laughed at the family .
" I had no part in this . " Chris declared holding up his hands innocently .
" And you ' re not exactly the definition of innocent either baby . " Jessie said kissing the Wildcat .
" Not you guys as well . " Grace putting her hand in front of her face .
" All you need is love . " Sanada said for the third time making Grace groan .
" Thanks Sanada . " TJ high - fived his Revolution stable mate .
