As I sit in the Florida Championship Wrestling locker room waiting on everyone else to show up for tonight's show I realize that this is it – this is the last time to make a first impression on these guys. I got a little lost in my thoughts when Dusty Rhodes walks in the room.
"Let me guess, you're the new kid right?" Dusty asked with his lisp
"Um" I said clearing my throat "Yes sir."
"It's great to have you aboard. Now, before everyone gets here I've got some things I want to go over with you" Dusty replied with a weird look on his face.
"I'm all ears sir" I replied back wondering what could happen.
"First, enough with this sir stuff. I know I'm old but I'm not your dad" Dusty said laughing which made me crack a smile. "Second, everyone is here for almost the same reason – you love this business enough to get into it. Just go out there and show the fans what they want to see and you'll be fine" Dusty said holding out his hand which I took the time to shake.
Dusty left the locker room heading to make sure everything was getting set up for tonight's show. The rest of the boys started showing up one by one so I introduce my self to everyone that's here so far when the door opens and insteps current WWE Diva Melina along with John Hennigan as today's guest appearances. They take a seat while everyone introduces themselves to them. Dusty re-appears through the door with tonight's line up.
"Alright, guys to-" Dusty gets cut off by Melina…
"Guys? Hello, there's more women here than men". She said joking like.
"Oh, I'm sorry princess. Anyways, we've got some new faces around here now so make them all welcome. We're being treated to John working here for the next few months since he got injured along with Melina." Dusty finished letting John take the floor.
"Now, I look around this room I look into everyone's eyes I see passion for this business in it. But, there's one person in here that's going to take that passion to the ring tonight and show me they want to make a name for themselves. So, you do that – you can bank on a job in the WWE." John finished looking dead at me.
"Alright, everyone go check the line up outside on the board to see what you're doing tonight."
Everyone gets up to leave but John stopped me before I walked out the door. Now, I'm wondering "Did I do something wrong, did I piss him off, is my career over before it starts?"
Chap #2 next!
